This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

You killed Ming Qingjing, the sect leader of Mingxin Sect.

Whether it makes sense or not, Ming Qingjing is dead.

With Ming Qingjing's death, the disciples of the Mingxin Sect were also wiped out by the players of the Taiyao Division of Taiye City.

boom!
A deafening roar followed, and the sound of Mingxin City collapsing echoed throughout Zhongzhou like thunder.

Mingxin City wasn't destroyed by the demon tide, but by the players!

This only proves that Qing Jing deserved it. If she had honestly given Jiang Liu and the others rewards, would she have ended up like this?
Why did you have to mess with the Fourth Calamity? The Fourth Calamity won't tolerate you!
The Mingxin Sect is destroyed!
Thick smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring half the sky. The immortal cultivation sect that had stood for a thousand years was now reduced to ruins!
As the rubble tumbled down, players from Taiye City and Taiyao Tribe cheered and jumped over the corpses of Mingxin Sect disciples. Blood stained the stream at the foot of the mountain, winding down the riverbed and converging into a blinding red on the plains dozens of miles away.

"The Mingxin Sect is gone?"

Hundreds of miles away, a passing cultivator NPC stared at the collapsed giant city and almost fell off the sky. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that the ruins were indeed the once majestic Mingxin Sect mountain gate. He couldn't help but gasp.

What kind of place is the Mingxin Sect?
That's the sect of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance! Its sect leader, Ming Qingjing, is a powerful cultivator who has lived for nearly a thousand years and is at the Tribulation Transcending stage!
Such an existence had its sect wiped out by someone?

Horror!
Who did it?

A thought struck him, and he stealthily approached, hoping to gather some information to sell to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

But as soon as he got close, nothing happened.

In the ruins of Mingxin City.

Jiang Liu and the others were all smiles. When Ming Qingjing turned into a tombstone, their depression dissipated. They even took a group photo with their feet on Ming Qingjing's tombstone.

This was the first collaboration between top players in the Chinese server, and it was a great success, directly wiping out a sect that had just reached the Tribulation stage!
The cooperation was very successful, but that doesn't mean they can shake hands and make peace.

When faced with an external enemy, one should naturally deal with the external enemy first.

But even if the external enemies are gone, they will still be competitors.

"The Mingxin Sect has been destroyed, so there's no need for us to pretend to be good friends anymore."

Ye Longying glanced at General Yang and Jiang Liu and the others, then casually clasped her hands in a fist salute: "The land remains unchanged, the waters flow on forever, see you again in our battle for the Four Heavenly Kings!"

With that, she led the people of Taiye City away gracefully.

After nearly half of the people left, General Yang nodded to Jiang Liu and Nangong Wentian, and also left with the Taiyao tribe.

Jiang Liu and Nangong Wentian remained standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Brother Jiang.

Nangong Wentian smiled at Jiang Liu and said, "Have you reconsidered the matter we mentioned before about joining forces against Taiye City and Taiyao Tribe in the battle for the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu glanced at Nangong Wentian, nodded first, then shook his head: "I've thought it over. You're not worthy to join forces with me. Goodbye."

With that, he flew away on his sword.

Nangong Wentian: "."

"That little brat is too arrogant!"

Nangong Wentian's face was filled with shame and anger as he gritted his teeth and cursed Jiang Liu.

Am I not worthy to join forces with you?
Can you see my incredibly powerful Heavenly Dao Star Body and Seven Star Immortal Realm?
snort!
Don't be too arrogant, or you'll be begging me for help one day!
Nangong Wentian left indignantly, leaving behind only ruins of Mingxin City.

Soon, news of the destruction of the Mingxin Sect spread like wildfire throughout the Central Plains at an astonishing speed.

The major righteous sects were shocked by this news. The sect leaders urgently summoned their disciples for a closed-door meeting to speculate who had the audacity to destroy the Mingxin Sect.

Oh no, could it be that the demonic forces have made a comeback?
If even the Mingxin Sect, which had a Transcending Tribulation expert, could be destroyed, then aren't we in danger too?

For a time, the righteous sects throughout the Central Plains were in a state of panic, and some sects even began to close their mountains and go into seclusion.

at the same time.

The news reached the most central region of Zhongzhou, the headquarters of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

The Taiyi Immortal Alliance is furious!
"Presumptuous! Simply presumptuous!"

Inside the Immortal Alliance's main hall, a council member suddenly slammed his fist on the jade table in front of him, sending milky-white jade shards flying in all directions.

The immortal energy surrounding him surged violently, causing the temperature inside the hall to plummet. The dozen or so council members all stood with their heads bowed, not daring to make the slightest move.

This director is no ordinary director; he is Ling Xuzi, a permanent director who has reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

During his tenure, such a huge thing happened in Zhongzhou, which is simply a slap in the face to him!
As a super-powerful being only one step away from the Mahayana stage, Ling Xuzi had never been so humiliated in thousands of years!
This is a provocation against him!
This is a provocation against the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!

This is a provocation against someone who has reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation!
"Although Ming Qingjing is somewhat arrogant, he is still a powerful cultivator who has transcended tribulation in our Immortal Alliance! His Mingxin Sect is an important stronghold of our Immortal Alliance in the southern part of Zhongzhou. Now that it has been wiped out by a group of cultivators of unknown origin, what will become of the reputation of our Taiyi Immortal Alliance?!"

Ling Xuzi's voice was like thunder, making the beams and pillars of the main hall vibrate.

Below, a council member dressed in a green robe stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, please calm down. According to sources, the one who made the move was the demonic force Taiye City, led by Taiye City Lord Ye Longying. Although Ye Longying is only at the Transformation stage, her combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level, and she can even withstand attacks from those at the Tribulation stage."

When Jiang Liu and his group destroyed the Mingxin Sect, in order to prevent the news from spreading, they also killed the cultivators who were passing by Mingxin City.

However, everything leaves a trace. Although Jiang Liu and his group were not exposed, Taiye City was eventually exposed to the watchful eyes of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Who is related to this person?

It's the official one, of course!

The official intervention immediately placed the players of the Demonic Path under the noses of the righteous NPCs, further exacerbating the conflict between the players and the NPCs!

This is also what the developers want to see most. What's the point of the game if players and NPCs can coexist harmoniously?

Of course, it's more fun when players and NPCs fight to the death!
"God Transformation Stage?"

Ling Xuzi frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "What kind of item can give a Nascent Soul cultivator the combat power of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator? Could it be a celestial artifact? This matter is definitely not simple; there must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

"However, regardless of who is behind Taiye City, I am certain it is a demonic force!"

"Since they are demonic forces, our Taiyi Immortal Alliance absolutely cannot sit idly by!"

He paused, then his tone suddenly turned icy as he said, "Pass on my order: immediately issue a warrant for the Immortal Alliance's arrest!"

"Anyone who can kill a cultivator from the demonic force of Taiye City will be rewarded with 100,000 spirit stones! Anyone who can kill Ye Longying, the lord of Taiye City, will be directly promoted to a council member of the Immortal Alliance and bestowed with a high-grade Dao artifact!"

"Furthermore, I order the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's law enforcement council member to lead a team to investigate the ruins of the Mingxin Sect and find out who is behind it all!"

"Yes!"

The dozen or so council members responded in unison, turned around and quickly left, sending out a series of communication talismans from the Immortal Alliance headquarters, rushing towards various parts of Central Continent.

In an instant, the entire Central Continent was stirred up by the Immortal Alliance's wanted notice.

Countless cultivators were drawn by the news, some for the rewards from the Immortal Alliance, some to make a name for themselves, and others out of fear of the Immortal Alliance's power, leaving them no choice but to participate.

The name of the demonic force, Taiye City, became feared by everyone in Zhongzhou overnight. "Holy crap? A position on the Immortal Alliance Council!?"

Jiang Liu, who was farming the Celebration Monsters, also received a system notification. When he saw the rewards for the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's wanted poster, he had to admit that he was very tempted.

Killing a player from Taiye City gives 100,000 spirit stones, which is fine!
But if you kill Ye Longying, you'll be given a position as a council member of the Immortal Alliance!
This is a position he has always longed for!
If he could become a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, then he would be qualified to command the NPCs of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!
When a large number of players from various regions move into Zhongzhou in the future, he will no longer have to fight alone!

"Hiss! We're going to kill Yoru Sakura!"

Jiang Liu gasped. Although he was tempted, the matter was extremely difficult, almost impossible.

Not to mention that he and Ye Longying are evenly matched, Ye Longying also has hundreds of Taiye City players following her. There is no way he could kill Ye Longying by himself.

Should we team up with the NPCs?

Jiang Liu thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea.

He killed Ye Longying for a reward; it was a battle between righteous and demonic players.

But if he leads NPCs to ambush and kill Ye Longying, that would be a bit cunning.

It's not that you can't team up with NPCs to fight against players, it's just that you don't have to take the initiative.

If he is unable to hold out against the siege of Taiyao tribe in Taiye City in the future, he may have no choice but to join forces with NPCs.

However, in a favorable situation, if they team up with NPCs, they are very likely to be cyberbullied by other players.

He Jiangliu is seeking fame.

"Then how about putting on a play?"

Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then opened the chat box and sent a message to Ye Longying.

[Jiang Liu: The Taiyi Immortal Alliance has issued an arrest warrant for your Taiye City.]

【Night Sakura: So what?】

[Jiang Liu: Give me face and let me kill someone once. I'll give you half of the wanted poster reward.]

[Night Sakura: Heh, are you kidding me?]

OK, I understand. He knew Ye Longying wouldn't agree.

"Sigh, whatever, I'll just keep farming festival fragments."

Jiang Liu shook his head, temporarily suppressing his thoughts about the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's wanted notice, and continued to focus on quickly defeating the celebration boss.

No more words, let's empty the event shop first!
"Boom boom boom boom!"

suddenly!
A series of loud bangs exploded in their ears, and the screens in their field of vision shook violently. A sudden system notification rang in the ears of every player!
[System Announcement: The Celebration Map—Ten Thousand Demon Tower—has been released. Players are advised to prepare their strategies!]

[System Announcement: The Celebration Map—Ten Thousand Demon Tower—has been released. Players are advised to prepare their strategies!]

[System Announcement: The Celebration Map—Ten Thousand Demon Tower—has been released. Players are advised to prepare their strategies!]

The three consecutive system notifications sent a shiver down Jiang Liu's spine, leaving him utterly astonished.

Is the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons about to be born?

Wasn't the goal to have the entire server collect a billion celebration fragments?

Damn, a single demon tide dropped a billion celebration fragments?

at this time.

He suddenly saw the sky in the far distance darken slightly. At a distance of about 10,000 miles, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from the sky, followed by a huge black rift appearing out of thin air!

The faint roars of demonic beasts echoed from the crack, and an ancient and desolate aura permeated the air.
"That's the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Jiang Liu's expression changed slightly, and he turned his gaze to the sky thousands of miles away, where a spatial rift had been torn open.

The black crack grew larger and larger, and in the distance, a tower-like structure made entirely of black boulders slowly emerged from it.

The tower was covered with ancient runes, each one radiating a terrifying pressure, as if containing endless power.

The emergence of the Demon Tower has shaken the Central Plains!

In an instant, no one discussed the destruction of the Mingxin Sect anymore; everyone was drawn to the news of the emergence of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower!
"The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons... the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons has appeared!"

A cultivator standing nearby looked up at the sky and, upon seeing the black tower, screamed in terror: "The legendary Demon Tower that suppresses the King of Ten Thousand Demons has actually appeared!"

The legend of the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons has been circulating in Zhongzhou for thousands of years.

It is said that this tower was built by a powerful being ten thousand years ago to suppress the invincible demon beast—the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Once the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons is created, the King of Ten Thousand Demons will break free from his seal, and the entire Central Continent will be plunged into chaos by demonic beasts.

The news spread like wildfire throughout Zhongzhou once again. The cultivators, who had just been shaken by the destruction of the Mingxin Sect, were once again unsettled by the news of the emergence of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Inside the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters, Ling Xuzi looked at the contents of the communication talisman, his expression turning extremely grim.

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons has actually appeared at this time."

He muttered to himself, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "On one hand, there's the demonic forces of Taiye City on the wanted list; on the other hand, there's the King of Ten Thousand Demons who is about to break free from his seal. How should I choose between these two matters?"

The council member below stepped forward again, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, the threat of the King of Ten Thousand Demons is far greater than that of the demonic forces. If the King of Ten Thousand Demons breaks the seal, the entire Central Continent will be plunged into chaos. At that time, not only will Taiye City be wanted, but even our Taiyi Immortal Alliance will suffer heavy losses."

"In my opinion, it would be better to send only a small number of people to hunt down the demonic cultivators in Taiye City, and concentrate the remaining large number of people on dealing with the Ten Thousand Demon Tower."

The other council members echoed, "Absolutely right! The Ten Thousand Demon Tower is of utmost importance and we must not take it lightly!"

Ling Xuzi remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright! We'll do as you say."

"Pass on my order: dispatch the elite forces of all sects and factions in Zhongzhou to the location of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower and prevent the King of Ten Thousand Demons from breaking the seal!"

"Yes!"

Orders were issued from the Immortal Alliance headquarters, and the cultivators who were originally searching for Taiye City all changed direction and rushed towards the location of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

At the very bottom of the Demon Tower, in a massive cage, a demonic beast covered in black scales slowly opened its eyes, a crimson light flashing within them. Its body twitched slightly, causing the entire Demon Tower to tremble violently.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Demon Tower, announcing its imminent birth!

The emergence of the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons was not only driven by NPCs, but also by players from the recently disbanded Chinese server who were converging on it.

For NPCs, the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons is a great calamity.

But for the players, the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons is a cause for great joy! (End of Chapter)
