Yang Zhenshan dispatched orders, and multiple factions began mobilizing their forces. Cangyu Mountain and Hidden Sword Mountain prepared their contingents, while the Ancient Relic Array, now a significant outpost for Spirit Source Land, assembled its elite troops including Foundation Establishment Cultivators, powerful demon beasts, and hundreds of Golden Body Realm Martial Artists. Xuanzhen reflected on the impressive growth of Spirit Source Land as the forces gathered.

"Xuanzhen Daoist Friend!" Ding Qiu said without a smile.

Xuanzhen nodded, "It's about time. We should set off!"

A moment later, all the cultivators and martial artists boarded the flying boats. The array barrier of the Ancient Relic Array opened, and two Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats, along with four Flame Sun Flying Boats, glided out one after another.

The flying boats ascended above the clouds, advancing majestically and swiftly toward the eastern part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

Such a fleet of flying boats was still quite rare in the Wanhua Western Region.

Numerous cultivators and martial artists noticed the flying boats in the sky and couldn't help but retract their necks and gather their auras.

Especially Sheng Youhuang of the Nether Prison Sect, who didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Jian Changhe, Yunxiao, and Yang Zhenshan formed their cores one after another. If you ask who suffered the most, it would undoubtedly be Sheng Youhuang.

Li Xuanxiao, Jiang Taishu, and Ming Shuzi had fallen outside Wuxiang City, and Wang Henglie, taking the last elite of the Nether Prison Sect into the Sun Cave Heaven, never returned. In the end, only Sheng Youhuang was left to support the Nether Prison Sect alone.

If Jian Changhe, Yunxiao, and Yang Zhenshan hadn't formed their cores, Sheng Youhuang could still hold on. But with the three forming their cores one after another, Sheng Youhuang had long been powerless to support the Nether Prison Sect.

The establishment of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect further plunged Sheng Youhuang and the Nether Prison Sect into dust, and Sheng Youhuang almost fled at that moment.

Fortunately, everyone didn't hold grudges against the Nether Prison Sect; instead, they allowed it to become an auxiliary force attached to the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

What is an auxiliary force?

The affiliated forces of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect are mostly Immortal Cultivation Families. Martial Arts Sect forces don't qualify to become affiliated forces of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

The so-called auxiliary force refers to the affiliated force of Elder Peak, specifically responsible for recruiting disciples for Elder Peak and providing martial artist menial labor for Elder Peak.

For instance, the Xuanqing Sect and Illusion Moon Sect are now auxiliary forces of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, belonging to Hidden Sword Mountain, an affiliated force of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Similarly, the Wuzhen Taoist Palace in the Sea of Spirit is an affiliated force of the Yang family, also an auxiliary force of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

In this way, the interests of the Yang family and Hidden Sword Mountain in the Sea of Spirit are clearly divided.

Sect, Elder Peak, affiliated forces, auxiliary forces, and then Martial Arts Families, Martial Arts Households.

The entire Yunxiao Mountain Range forms such a distinct hierarchical ruling system.

Given the current status and strength of Yang Zhenshan and others, they naturally wouldn't care about a Nether Prison Sect, nor have the interest to settle scores with the Nether Prison Sect later on.

Moreover, there's no need; the Nether Prison Sect has already declined, far from its former glory. To the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, the Nether Prison Sect is just an insignificant auxiliary force.

Therefore, Sheng Youhuang is still supporting the Nether Prison Sect, preventing its complete demise.

At this moment, no one would care about Sheng Youhuang's panic, as the fleet of flying boats majestically headed toward the eastern region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

...

Three hundred miles north of the White Cloud Immortal City, Yunye Manor.

Yunye Manor used to be the headquarters of the Cloud Wild Alliance outside White Cloud Immortal City. Though called a manor, it is more like a settlement for Immortal Cultivators.

This place not only has a sizable workshop but also numerous Immortal Cultivation Families and families.

Once the headquarters of the Cloud Wild Alliance, it now belongs to the Luo family.

Since Luo Cheng returned White Cloud Immortal City to the White Cloud True Monarch, the Luo family became White Cloud Immortal City's first Immortal Cultivation Family.

The White Cloud True Monarch not only chose two disciples from the Luo family but also granted Yunye Manor to the Luo family, as a reward for safeguarding the White Cloud Dao in times of crisis for White Cloud Immortal City.

It can be said that with the White Cloud True Monarch's return, the Luo family was the most benefited force.

Of course, this is understandable. Luo Cheng had indeed staked everything, life and soul, on the White Cloud Dao. Had the White Cloud True Monarch perished and never returned, the Luo family would have become the target of all.

That was a big gamble, losing which, White Cloud Immortal City would have had no place for the Luo family. Winning, on the other hand, resulted in the current situation, the Luo family becoming the first Immortal Cultivation Family in White Cloud Immortal City and entering the core of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

At this moment, Yunye Manor is in chaos; a large number of demon beast and mutant beast are charging in from the east like a beast tide, rushing towards Yunye Manor.

This is not a single group of demon beast, but a large beast herd composed of multiple groups. Their attack on Yunye Manor isn't a mere coincidence but a well-organized and premeditated assault.

The reason is simple; whether demon beast or mutant beast, they aren't ordinary beasts. They possess intelligence comparable to adult humans. They avoid danger yet are inherently greedy, so having escaped from the Wanhua Mountain Range, they set their sights on Yunye Manor.

A large settlement of Immortal Cultivators naturally holds a significant amount of resources. As these demon beast plan their escape, they seize the opportunity to plunder. As long as they can escape before the reinforcement from the Sky Cloud Sword Sect arrives, they can obtain massive resources.

Spiritual medicines, Spirit Pills, Spirit Stones of Immortal Cultivators, etc., are their most favored Spiritual Objects.

Initially, perhaps only two or three groups had this intent. But as these groups began their actions, other passing demon beasts and mutant beasts followed, eventually leading to thousands of beasts rushing to plunder.

Enormous hawks and falcons swept across the sky, unleashing a deluge of Wind Blades, reducing Yunye Manor's outskirts to ruins.
