Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Inside the main hall of the Hehuan Sect, the flickering candlelight illuminated the figures of the Blood Demon Ancestor and his three companions.

The Blood Demon Ancestor's gaze fell on Hua Wuxin, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Sect Leader Hua, do you know Shi Haochi's current cultivation level?"

Hua Wuxin dared not conceal the truth and answered honestly:

"Like me, you are also at the mid-stage of the Land Immortal realm."

A knowing glint flashed in the Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes, and then a powerful aura emanated from his body.

—That was the oppressive aura of a peak terrestrial immortal, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

Hua Wuxin's expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously held her breath.

"Master Hua,"

The Blood Demon Ancestor looked at Hua Wuxin, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"We'll help you destroy the Church of Light; in return, you and the Joyful Union Sect will join our 'Demon Alliance'."

"At that time, the entire Qiongzhou will be ours."

This is both a proposal and a deterrent.

Since the goal is to destroy the Church of Light, why not take the opportunity to bring the Joyful Union Sect under our control as well?

In this way, Qiongzhou can be solved once and for all, saving a lot of trouble later, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Hua Wuxin's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood the other party's intention—this was coercion and enticement.

If they disagree? Given the strength of the three opponents, today would likely be the day the Hehuan Sect is wiped out.

Agreed. Although we lose some autonomy, we can use the power of the Demon Alliance to eliminate our nemesis, and even expand in the future.

After a moment's consideration, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to join the Demon Alliance, and the Joyful Union Sect is also willing to submit!"

"But I have one condition—that is, the Demon Alliance must not interfere in the internal affairs of the Joyful Union Sect, and the sect will remain under my jurisdiction."

"Can."

The Blood Demon Ancestor withdrew his oppressive aura.

"As long as the Hehuan Sect remains loyal to the Demon Alliance, we will not interfere in its internal affairs."

"But what if someone harbors malicious intentions..."

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. "Don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Absolutely impossible!" Hua Wuxin quickly assured him.

"If there are any rebels, I will personally clean house!"

"it is good."

The Blood Demon Ancestor stood up and said loudly,

"I, the Blood Demon Ancestor, am the First Demon Lord of the Demon Alliance;"

This is my second brother, Xue Wutian, the second Demon Lord of the Demon Alliance;

This is my disciple, Mo Tianchou, the third Demon Lord.

"Sect Leader Hua, you are now the fourth Demon Lord of my Demon Alliance."

He paused, then added:

"If we encounter a suitable powerful terrestrial immortal in the future, we can recruit him to join us and strengthen our Demon Alliance."

"Once the five regions are integrated, there will inevitably be bloodshed. Without sufficient resources, one will be nothing more than a fish on someone else's chopping board."

"Only with sufficient strength can one truly establish oneself."

Hua Wuxin bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Three Demon Lords! But... with our strength, are we not enough to roam the continent freely?"

He couldn't understand why the four of them, all of whom were terrestrial immortals and had reached the pinnacle of power in the Central Plains, were still so lacking in confidence.

The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered, "You have lived in the Central Region, Qiongzhou for so long, that you are unaware of the true nature of the outside world."

"We come from the Eastern Region, where powerful figures emerge in large numbers and ancient forces lurk in the shadows. Our strength is by no means inferior to that of the Central Region."

Hua Wuxin was completely stunned upon hearing this.

How could the Eastern Region possibly rival the Central Region?!

But he dared not doubt the Blood Demon Ancestor's words, though they seemed unbelievable.

But the other party is a master at the peak of the Land Immortal realm, so there is no need for them to deceive me.

He quickly replied:

"I understand! I will immediately gather the elders, and tomorrow we will send troops to the Church of Light to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Soon, Zhu Debiao and other elders of the Hehuan Sect were summoned to the main hall.

"Greetings, Sect Master, and three seniors!" Everyone knelt on one knee, their expressions respectful.

Hua Wuxin exuded an unprecedented domineering aura and said in a deep voice:

"From this day forward, my Joyful Union Sect joins the Demon Alliance. From now on, the three Demon Lords will be our sect's elders; to see them is to see me!"

"Anyone who dares to be disrespectful or harbor disloyal intentions will be executed without mercy!"

"We swear to serve the Demon Alliance to the death!"

Zhu Debiao and the others responded in unison, daring not to voice any objection.

"very good."

Hua Wuxin gave the order.

"Assemble all disciples immediately. Tomorrow morning, join us in conquering the Church of Light and annihilating these villains!"

"Yes, sir!"

The elders of the Hehuan Sect dared not delay for a moment and immediately went to make arrangements.

……

The next morning, at Hehuanzong Square.

Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered and awaited orders, their momentum overwhelming.

Zhu Debiao stood on the high platform, his voice booming:

"Disciples of the Joyful Union Sect!"

"Today is the day we avenge our defeat!"

"Follow us, the elders, on our expedition to crush the Radiant Church and uphold the might of our Joyful Union Sect!"

"Crush the Brightness Cult! Let the might of the Hehuan Sect be proclaimed!"

Tens of thousands of disciples below the stage shouted in unison, their morale soaring.

Zhu Debiao was thrilled, and remembering the breakthrough treasure promised by Hua Wuxin, he was even more motivated.

"All troops, march!"

With a command given, the Hehuan Sect cultivators marched in a grand procession toward Holy Light City, where the Brightness Sect was located.

Meanwhile, the four Blood Demon Ancestors transformed into four streaks of light, concealed within the clouds, and quietly followed.

……

Holy Light City, the headquarters of the Church of Light.

An elder in silver robes rushed into the main hall and bowed to Shi Haochi, who was seated at the head of the table:

"Greetings, Master! The Joyful Union Sect has gathered all its cultivators and is heading towards our sect, seemingly intent on a decisive battle!"

Shi Haochi frowned slightly:

"Oh? Why has that old devil Hua Wuxin suddenly become so tough?"

He pondered for a moment, then gave the order.

"Pass down the order: all elders and disciples currently stationed outside the sect, return immediately! The entire sect is to enter combat readiness!"

"Furthermore, continue to monitor the movements of the Hehuan Sect and report back promptly!"

"yes!"

After the elders left, Shi Haochi slammed his fist on the table, shattering the bluestone table instantly.

"Damn it! Why... why am I always just a little short! Is it because I'm missing the right opportunity?"

He roared, his eyes filled with resentment.

He attempted to break through to the later stages of the Land Immortal realm multiple times, but failed repeatedly, which drove him to the brink of madness.

"The Joyous Union Sect... since they dare to deliver themselves to my doorstep, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A sinister glint flashed in Shi Haochi's eyes.

"If we still cannot break through after this battle, then we will sacrifice all the cultivators of your sect!"

Having said that, he turned and walked into the depths of the main hall, took out a black communication talisman, and said in a deep voice:

"I agree to your conditions, but you must help me destroy the Joyful Union Sect!"

A chilling voice came from the other end of the communication talisman:

"Sure! But afterwards, in addition to the secret technique you promised us, I also want that treasure that gathers fortune in your possession!"

"Deal! You head over now, and once you arrive, we'll ambush and kill Hua Wuxin."

"Alright, I will arrive at your Church of Light tonight."

Shi Haochi put away the communication talisman, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Anyway, that treasure that gathers fortune isn't of much use to me! What harm is there in giving it to them!"

"With the help of that force, not only will the Hehuan Sect fall into his hands, but the entire Qiongzhou will also be under his control!"

.......

The Hehuan Sect's team traveled swiftly and soon arrived outside Holy Light City.

On the city wall, the elders and disciples of the Light Cult stood ready, the atmosphere tense and fraught with danger.

Zhu Debiao, carrying a large axe, stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"You bastards of the Church of Light! Come out and face your deaths!"

The voice of Elder Ji Bubai of the Brightness Cult, tinged with a hint of mockery, came from the city tower:

"Zhu Debiao! Your Hehuan Sect is truly arrogant. You should be thanking your lucky stars that my Brightness Sect isn't causing you any trouble."

"I never expected you would dare to attack my Church of Light! I'll kill you first today!"

Ji Bubai immediately grabbed his broadsword and charged at Zhu Debiao.

"Ji Bubai, you think you're worthy?"

Zhu Debiao leaped forward, wielding a large axe, and charged at Ji Bubai!

"Pegasus Meteor Axe!"

Countless axe shadows, like shooting stars, appeared and fell from the sky.

Seeing the countless axe shadows, Ji Bubai dared not dodge, because if he dodged, the people of the Light Cult would definitely suffer countless casualties!

"Damn it, who the hell would use a super move right from the start of a fight!"

Ji Bubai gritted his teeth and immediately drew his broadsword to defend himself. With a loud bang, the void shattered.

Ji Bubai was blasted away by countless axe shadows, coughing up blood as he flew backward.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and he finally slammed his head against the city wall!
