The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

I would give everything I have for the existence of my love!

Rong Yue put everything aside and knelt down to kowtow before Chi Miao. This scene made Chi Miao tense up, then relax, and almost kneel down with the person in front of her.

In fact, she did just that.

She neither kneels to heaven and earth, nor to ghosts and gods, but now she kneels before Rong Yue's fading image, reaching out to embrace it.

A suppressed flame was gathering in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Nine Swords Mountain is not just your Nine Swords Mountain. Senior Brother Rong Yue, you don't need to kneel before me. I will repay this kneeling, and I will continue to owe you this favor. Seven days later, after I have crushed the Immortal Alliance, I will make the world witness the rise of Nine Swords Mountain. For millions of years to come, Nine Swords Mountain will no longer be in dire straits!"

"At that time, Master, you, me, the brothers and sisters of Thunder Punishment Peak, and everyone from Nine Swords Mountain will all return to a peaceful and prosperous life!"

"I, Chi Miao, swear on my very soul!!"

Chi Miao has now entered the Nascent Soul stage, and his various methods far exceed his current level. His actual combat strength is already immeasurable. Even though he has not yet broken through to the Mahayana stage, his combat strength is definitely among the top tier in Miaohua Continent.

In addition... at the Nascent Soul stage, she can already use soul attacks. In terms of soul power alone, everyone in Miaohua Continent combined cannot compare to her!

She swore an oath with her soul, and the rules of heaven and earth almost exceeded the carrying capacity of Miaohua Continent. A huge magic array rose from her center, instantly transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, attracting the attention of people all over Miaohua Continent!

Chi Miao's voice also resounded throughout the entire Miaohua Continent through this magic array:

"Seven days from now, I will crush the Immortal Alliance!"

"At that time, the truth will be revealed! Good and evil, right and wrong, will be judged by the people themselves!"

The sound echoed through heaven and earth several times.

The shock sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the Immortal Alliance, leaving them numb and their hearts pounding.

On the vast palace, a man dressed in black and gold armor stood with disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

He snorted coldly and angrily rebuked, "This little brat has quite the nerve! She's not even twenty years old yet, does she really think she can act with impunity just because she has talent?!"

"Destroy my Immortal Alliance in seven days? A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to utter such arrogant words! I'll wait and see... If she dares to show up in seven days, I will kill her alive in front of the entire world!"

Zhan Wangtian's eyes are blackish-red, and he looks no more than twenty or thirty years old, but he has actually lived for over a thousand years!

Most of them in the Immortal Alliance have lived since the Dark Ages, and the youngest is at least three thousand years old!

At the same time... they were also the main planners of the "Reboot Plan" back then!

Back then, the four disciples of Tantric Buddhism tried to exterminate them. After Tianbeijun ascended to heaven, for the sake of the greater good, they forced themselves into a deep sleep.

Now that they have awakened again, no one in this world can stop them!

Having witnessed Tianbei Jun's ascension firsthand, they became even more convinced of the feasibility of the restart plan.

Becoming an immortal... that means living as long as the heavens, an endless lifespan!

Nothing can stop them!

They would not hesitate to sacrifice the lifespan of everyone in Miaohua Continent!

Zhan Wangtian's words brought smiles to the faces of everyone else present.

"Alliance Leader, why bother with such a nobody? He's just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, an ant that can be crushed with a single finger. Why bother saying anything more?"

Zhan Wangtian's eyes narrowed as he looked at the person who had spoken—the one who had personally led the team that had annihilated Nine Swords Mountain.

Qin Yu.

He scoffed, "A nobody you could crush with a single finger? Then why did you lose dozens of Tribulation Transcending cultivators, hundreds of Mahayana cultivators, and several Nascent Soul cultivators in the battle to wipe out Nine Swords Mountain? Even you yourself are still seriously injured... I haven't even settled accounts with you for those losses yet!"

Qin Yu's face was grim, sweat quickly beaded on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth to defend herself:

"That Supreme Elder of Nine Swords Mountain is undoubtedly the Heavenly Wrath Lord from back then! You know the power of the Four Disciples of the Esoteric Sect, not to mention that the Heavenly Wrath Lord has now broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage. Even if losing these people can force him to his death, their deaths will be worthwhile!"

The four disciples of the Esoteric School were all at the Mahayana stage back then, yet they killed all the other Tribulation stage cultivators so badly that they dared not show their faces.

The four of them are practically the pinnacle of combat power in Miaohua Continent!

Zhan Wangtian: "Worth it? Hmph! It was precisely because of your ignorance and underestimation of the enemy that you suffered such heavy losses. That Heavenly Wrath Lord never went into slumber, enduring for so many years, and was already at his last gasp! If you were even a little smarter, you wouldn't have lost so many combatants! And now you're still making excuses! Foolish and ignorant!"

After saying that, he slapped Qin Yu across the air, sending her flying and leaving an indelible red handprint on her face.

Qin Yu's face stung with pain. He was deeply resentful at being humiliated in front of so many allies, but facing Zhan Wangtian, he could only grit his teeth and say:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault!"

Zhan Wangtian then slightly raised his eyes and coldly asked, "What's the situation with the ten major sects?"

Qin Yu's expression grew even more grim: "We're...we're still working on it."

Zhan Wangtian's expression turned dangerous: "What do you mean 'still working on it'?"

Qin Yu: "Some of them were about to hand over their surrender documents, but suddenly overnight they all changed their attitude and refused to surrender. The protective formation that has been built up over thousands of years is extremely difficult to break through, not to mention... the current sect leader of the Tantric Sect, Tian Le Jun, is secretly helping them, so..."

"A bunch of trash!" Zhan Wangtian unleashed his spiritual power, destroying almost everything within a hundred miles. He squinted for a moment to calm himself before looking at the towering pillar of light from Nine Swords Mountain:

"A change of attitude overnight? They must have learned something from the Heavenly Sorrow Cave and brought the news back... A bunch of fools, they could have shared the blessing of immortality with us, yet they are so ungrateful."

"Survival of the fittest... As the strong, we are in control of the life and death of the weak. It's just a matter of killing a group of creatures that are eliminated from the start. Yet we are willing to risk our lives for these unimportant beings."

"How foolish."

After Zhan Wangtian finished speaking, he turned to Qin Yu and said, "Since they are ungrateful and unwilling to abandon their evil ways, then... let's wipe them all out, and contribute to our path to immortality."

"As for Chi Miao... Hmph, that lord told me to keep an eye on her, I will go and ask that lord how to handle this."

Upon hearing "that person," Qin Yu trembled, looking up at Zhan Wangtian in disbelief: "Then...that person asked you to keep an eye on Chi Miao?"

Zhan Wangtian smiled and said, "Yes... At first, I didn't care that person was making such a fuss over nothing. He was just a prodigy who hadn't fully grown up yet. But now... I've become curious too."

"You all go and do what you're supposed to do. I need to go ask that sir how to proceed."

No one else dared to utter a single word in rebuttal.

I never imagined that Xiao Chi Miao was actually acting on that person's orders!

What exactly is that person's intention?
