Then, Jiang Mo picked up a letter from the Yuantian Array Sect and slowly unfolded it. A projection appeared, which was the sect leader of the sect. When he saw Jiang Mo, the Ancient Emperor, and the Mountain Lord, he looked surprised.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Mo's gaze fell on him. That calm and deep look made him feel uneasy, as if he had been locked onto by some ominous force.
"Sect Leader Xue, I am an old acquaintance of your sect's elder. Years ago, when he was imprisoned in the Imperial Dynasty, I personally went into the prison to rescue him. I hope that, in consideration of this small friendship, Sect Leader, you will not respond to any requests for assistance from any sect or faction in this matter. Is that alright?"
Jiang Mo got straight to the point: while the array he had set up was indeed powerful, it was still somewhat insufficient against a sect like the Yuantian Array Sect, which had achieved the highest level of mastery in the field of array formations.
It's normal that other sects can't break through the forbidden zones for a while, but given some time, the Yuantian Array Sect will be able to easily tear through the defensive barriers and advance unimpeded.
This was the last thing Jiang Mo wanted to see, so he had to remind the sect not to get involved.
"Ugh...."
"Fellow Daoist Xuanzun, you have done me a great favor by rescuing my senior master. However, with so many sects and forbidden zones putting pressure on our sect, I fear we too may find ourselves in danger..."
"Please forgive us, we can only make a few excuses within our capabilities..."
Sect Master Xue explained tactfully that he also had his own difficulties and dared not intervene without permission, for fear of offending other sects, and even more so, Jiang Mo.
"I don't want to let down that senior colleague with whom I have a good relationship."
Jiang Mo looked directly at Sect Leader Xue again and said:
“I am not making a request, but a warning. I hope you understand that. It may take them a long time to destroy you, but if I were to come in person, your lineage would not last a quarter of an hour.”
"!"
These cold words left Sect Master Xue speechless. His expression changed slightly, as if he was suppressing his anger and feeling resentful.
"So you want our sect to be dragged into this disaster for no reason?"
"For no reason?"
Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Mo chuckled softly and teased:
"Don't give me that excuse. It's other sects and forbidden areas that are putting pressure on you. They threatened you to attack me, so you just went ahead and attacked? Are you just tools to be manipulated at will?"
"Taking action is certainly an option, just be prepared to perish together with them. I'm always ready to assist you."
Jiang Mo's attitude was extremely forceful, leaving no room for compromise. He gave the Yuantian Array Sect only two choices.
"Either don't participate, or you die. Sect Leader Xue, don't force me."
Jiang Mo's eyes emitted a chilling light, making Sect Leader Xue's scalp tingle; this was definitely not an exaggeration.
"Then...then at least give us a promise of shelter!"
Sect Leader Xue said with a gloomy expression.
"Otherwise, why should we fight against those sects and forbidden zones without our consent?!"
"Fool! In all the eras before you received our protection, did your sect survive by relying on the protection of other sects and forbidden zones?!"
The root of the disease was immediately displeased and rebuked it sharply, its fur standing on end:
"You ask me why? I've already told you, wanting to survive is your own responsibility. How much can you expect from outsiders? Today they can threaten you with this excuse, tomorrow they'll use another one. So you're going to keep looking for a backer?"
"Insolence! Old ghost, you can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to lecture me?"
Sect Master Xue retorted, stating that he too was a supreme peak Dao Lord, possessing nine Dao Palaces and adorned with nine ancient life stars, and was completely unafraid of this ancient emperor whose strength was far inferior to that of his peak period.
"Forget it, let's save our energy."
Seeing that the words between the two sides were full of hostility, Jiang Mo slowly waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to argue anymore.
He looked at Sect Leader Xue and said:
"To make a long story short, tell me now what kind of commitment you need."
"..."
This seemed to ease Sect Leader Xue's emotions somewhat. He calmed down a bit, stopped confronting the root of the plague, and began to state his conditions:
"1. When our sect can no longer withstand the pressure, the Venerable Master must appear, no matter what; otherwise, we cannot promise that we will not be implicated."
"2. We will never covet the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner and the Mysterious Heaven Coffin, but everyone, you must not use these two deadly weapons to harm our sect members in the future."
"That's all?" Jiang Mo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Gone."
Sect Leader Xue said.
"Yes, I hope you will not break your promise."
Thus, Jiang Mo and the Yuantian Array Sect reached a temporary agreement, but in reality, both sides were wary of each other and did not trust one another.
Sect Master Xue did not believe that Jiang Mo could appear instantly when the sect was in crisis, turn the tide, and dismantle the pressure from all sides.
Jiang Mo also didn't believe that this sect had the courage to keep its promise from beginning to end, so he made other preparations. He had already used the Flying Immortal Divine Power - Candle Illumination to keep a close watch on the territory that belonged to him. As long as there was any unusual activity, he would appear immediately.
At the same time, Jiang Mo transformed into a mortal, creating more than a dozen versions of himself in ordinary life forms. He then used the method of traversing the void to send them to the territories of various Daoist sects to conceal his identity, so that he could launch a counterattack at any time during the great battle, directly lock onto the anchor point, descend, and launch the strongest attack.
Chapter 662 I think you all want to die
After the conversation with the Yuan Tian Array Sect ended, Sect Master Xue's projection dissipated, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold. The Origin Plague spoke ominously:
"To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, how about we eliminate this sect beforehand?"
"This is probably not a good idea. It's the worst possible strategy. It would cause us to lose credibility and be regarded as a public enemy by many sects and forbidden areas in the Immortal Realm."
Even the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain wouldn't dare to do that, as the consequences would be too severe. That place is one of the four pillar-level forces in Central Continent. Not to mention that it has alliances with many Daoist lineages, it is the most central area of the Immortal Realm, attracting much attention. Trying to break through it overnight would be too risky.
"..." The root cause of the epidemic remained silent, unable to find a more convincing reason for the mountain lord and Jiang Mo.
"No need. I don't even look down on those kinds of methods."
Jiang Mo rejected the resolution. He lowered his eyes and looked at the map of the Immortal Realm's power distribution that was fully unfolded in front of him. He began to think, his gaze sweeping over each lineage.
"I have the means to destroy everything in the process. If they want to cause trouble, let them cause chaos. At worst, I can just destroy the entire Immortal Realm."
Jiang Mo said confidently, "As early as the day I arranged for the Dragon Clan to enter the Immortal Realm, I arranged for a group of Dragon Clan scientists to mass-produce and charge the Star Destroyer Cannons. All of them were stored in the Heavenly Kingdom within my body. During this time, I also personally went to the deep space of the universe to find burning suns and frantically charge them, preparing the ultimate Star Destroyer Cannons for hundreds of war machines!"
In addition, each of the ultimate star-destroying turrets is equipped with a superluminal eternal warship. It is the final version developed through multiple modifications using the superb technology of the subterranean humans, the dragon humans, and the star humans. It is more than 2,000 kilometers long and is a true alloy behemoth that travels in the sea of stars. Its speed reaches 6 million miles per second, which is enough to launch a rapid attack on various Dao lineages.
"Report——!"
Just as the three were discussing, a hurried figure rushed in from outside the hall. It was a deputy mountain lord with a panicked expression, who said in a trembling voice:
"Reporting to the Mountain Lord, the Martial Peak Hall of Central Continent, the Supreme Purity Sect of Xuan Shang, the Medicine God Valley of Southern Netherworld, and the Sumeru Temple of Western Sacred Land have dispatched many Ultimate Beings to besiege our clan's Li Yan Mountain, with pursuers everywhere."
"Understood... Pass it on, tell the tribesmen to hide in the mountains, they can't get in."
The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain said nonchalantly, without even frowning. As long as the eternal thirty-six sacred flames of the sages continue to burn, any creature that tries to cross them will pay the price with its life!
"Yes, but!"
The mountain master stammered, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"explain."
"There are also two other forces, suspected to be from restricted areas, that have also sealed us off! They're located to the east."
"Understood. Protect your people. I will handle it."
Chi Lian waved her hand gently, indicating that it was alright, and let the deputy mountain lord leave first.
Jiang Mo knew the root cause of the plague in the palace. The reason why the four families outside came to him first was because these lineages had also participated in the siege of the Reincarnation Sea back then!
However, they did not win in the end. Instead, Li Yanshan quietly defeated them and lost several supreme peak Dao Lords. Therefore, when they learned the truth in this era, they immediately came to seek revenge and make things difficult for them.
"Did you consume those few primordial flames?"
The Root Disease couldn't help but ask, sensing that the situation was a bit dire. With the four major Daoist sects besieging them and two forbidden zones to be conquered, it seemed unlikely that it and Jiang Mo could stop them alone.
"Ah."
The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain sighed softly, as if relieving the pressure on its entire body. Now, within the Flame Mountain, it is the strongest being. There are no more ancient ancestors in the world. Since obtaining the three primordial flames, it did not even have time to hesitate and directly swallowed them, allowing itself to evolve rapidly.
However, even so, it could not completely transform, and a large part of the original flame power had not yet been digested. Even so, its strength was still significantly enhanced compared to a few days ago.
"I didn't expect them to act so quickly. The other sects are manageable, but these four will inevitably shed blood sooner or later..."
The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain gave a bitter smile. He had no intention of running away, but he had no choice but to face it. Back when the Reincarnation Sea was besieged, the various sects were secretly targeting each other and fighting fiercely. It was only because the Forbidden Zone Sovereign launched a strong counterattack that the Lord of Li Flame Mountain had an opportunity. It was the law of the jungle. If you kill your rivals who were fighting for opportunities, then you kill them. There was nothing to regret.
"What are your plans to do about the other lineages?"
Jiang Mo asked softly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He wondered, just how many more forbidden zones were coming to seek their doom?
"I have already sent secret messages to the various Dao lineages within the Immortal Realm, telling them... that certain forbidden zones are nothing more than puppets of the Immortal Clan. It is they who have allowed them to launch the Dark Harvest time and time again, thereby weakening the power of the Immortal Realm. This incident is merely the Immortal Clan using them to create conflict between the various forces in the Immortal Realm. When we are exhausted and both sides are weakened, it may be time for the Immortal Clan to step in and clean up the mess."
"That's the logic, but whether they believe it or not, and how they choose to proceed, is beyond my control. We can only fight to the bitter end."
After saying these words, the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain seemed to have exhausted all its strength. It was prepared to fight to the death, and its mood was inevitably pessimistic, perhaps because it had foreseen the worst possible future.
"If that's the case, then let's not wait any longer. Whether one guest comes or several come, it's all the same. Why be afraid? Let's go out and meet them."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, sensing the hundreds of ultimate warships of the Heavenly Kingdom within his body, entering war mode, ready to launch a maximum-power attack at any time.
He rose gracefully and strode towards the outside of the hall, chanting as he went:
"Let me weigh those ultimate powerhouses of the Immortal Realm who attained enlightenment in the years I did not exist."
"Just do it! Let's wipe them out completely!"
The root of the plague also rose up, speaking with an extremely sinister air.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two."
The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain had a deep gaze and a smile that held a hidden meaning. He accompanied Jiang Mo and the Ancient Emperor as they walked out of Li Yan Mountain.
........
"Boom!!!"
The Li Yan Mountain, shrouded in flames, was like a sacred and inviolable pure land. Suddenly, the flames surged and opened up a complete passage, from which several imposing figures calmly emerged. The man in the lead was none other than Jiang Mo.
His gaze swept forward, and what came into view were eight supreme peak Dao Lords who had arrived with great momentum. Basically, each Dao lineage had two of them.
They were like gods descending to earth, emanating various strange magical domains to protect their disciples from the scorching heat.
In addition, there are two forbidden zones of unknown identity guarding the east. Vast swathes of dark energy, like a swaying ocean, are constantly pressing in, seemingly about to devour the entire space where Li Yan Mountain is located. Compared to the boundless black sea, the originally vast Li Yan Mountain is like a lone boat in a stormy sea, which could be capsized at any moment.
What caught Jiang Mo's attention the most were the two supreme peak Dao Lords of the Martial Peak Hall. No, that's not quite right!
Their martial gods, who belong to the body-refining school, reach a level comparable to the Supreme Dao Lords, and are at the very top. The aura they exude is far stronger than that of other Supreme Peak Dao Lords.
It was as if two ancient beast gods were silently hunting, and the overwhelming killing intent swept in like a tidal wave, causing the space around Liyan Mountain to tremble and shatter.
The two men were handsome and imposing, one appearing to be a middle-aged man and the other an elderly man. Both wore martial armor of unknown grade, seemingly possessing abilities comparable to innate magical artifacts! The weapons they held also radiated a terrifying and fierce light, not to be underestimated.
Besides, the two Daoist masters of Mount Sumeru are in the form of monks, or rather, Buddhas, the pinnacle of Buddhist cultivation, the great enlightened ones, surrounded by holy radiance, chanting loudly, and the phantom image of Buddha behind them is millions of feet high, crushing the void.
The other four supreme Dao Lords include two women from Medicine God Valley, both with cold and beautiful appearances and extraordinary demeanor; and two sect leaders and vice sect leaders of Xuan Shang Tai Qing Sect, who possess extraordinary bearing, hold the sun, moon and stars in their hands, and are also holders of great supernatural powers.
One of them was dragging a burning sun down from the starry sky outside the Immortal Realm, turning it into a jade bead in his palm, threatening Li Yan Mountain. If no one else came out, he was going to smash the sun down with one palm and destroy the entire Li Yan Sacred Mountain.
However, these Dao Lords who arrived together with imposing auras, along with their entourage, all held their breath for a moment. Under their threat, Li Yan Mountain responded, and three figures stepped out!
Jiang Mo's appearance suddenly put considerable pressure on the assembled heroes. They knew of his reputation, but only after seeing him in person did they realize how terrifying he was.
The pressure from the four Dao Lords, two Martial Gods, and two Medicine Gods was instantly swallowed up and completely neutralized by the aura emanating from Jiang Mo alone, leaving no trace.
He first silently surveyed the numerous powerful figures, then glanced at the black sea of clouds to the east. His gaze pierced through layers of restrictions, catching sight of several aged figures, and he couldn't help but chuckle:
"What kind of Tom, Dick, and Harry are all coming? Fine, I'll deal with you all at once."
"Xuan Zun is indeed domineering, but... you want to deal with us? You won't have the chance. You should worry about yourself first!"
The owners of those two forbidden zones did not show themselves, but maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, observing the situation and hoping to reap the benefits.
"Does he think he's worthy of being lectured by me?"
Jiang Mo's expression turned cold, and anger rose from his heart. He couldn't stand the smug look on the faces of these dark scum. He raised his left hand instantly and clenched it tightly towards the distant void.
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted from the black sea of Qi. Countless spatial rifts were compressed into one place, and golden flames burst forth within, burning wildly. In just a moment, shrill screams rang out, and three disheveled figures rushed out hastily, their flesh and blood charred black.
"!"
The eight Dao Lords who witnessed this scene couldn't help but tense up. The Xuan Venerable was indeed as evil as rumored, arrogant and disrespectful, and would act whenever he wanted, without caring about their feelings and reactions.
"Boom!!"
The three lords of the forbidden zones broke free from the collapsed and annihilated space, each using their own methods to drive away the golden flames that had tainted their bodies. In just a moment of confrontation, they felt lingering fear towards the Xuanzun, experiencing a long-lost sense of terror from the threat of death.
