Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1385 - 588: The Alliance’s First Battle

"People from the Blood Blade Sect had a confrontation with the Bibo Immortals. Seeing no benefit to be gained, they withdrew with their forces."

"Since Bibo Island doesn’t have many troops stationed, the Bibo Immortals didn’t dare to chase them, fearing they’d fall for the enemy’s plan to draw them away from the island."

The messenger relayed the intelligence faithfully to Li Yunjing.

"Blood Blade Sect?"

Li Yunjing’s pupils shrank suddenly, "It’s truly strange, the Demon Sect chooses to act at this moment? Could Saint Sound Fairy’s intelligence be accurate, and the Demon Sect and ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ have indeed allied?"

The expression on his face was terrifyingly grim!

In Li Yunjing’s view, "Celestial Net Dao Sect" was so arrogant they didn’t regard even fellow members of the Profound Sect; how could they possibly ally with the Demon Sect?

This left him utterly perplexed.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, this might be related to the ’Netherworld Ancestor’ mentioned by Saint Sound Fairy!"

The disciple messenger said softly.

"Immediately order all islands to strengthen their defenses, and send word to the Five Elements Master."

Li Yunjing’s face was exceedingly grim: "I will promptly head to ’Bibo Island’ to investigate!"

Three days later, when Li Yunjing arrived at "Bibo Island," the scene before him was hair-raising.

The entire island was shrouded in a blood-colored mist, with the once lush Spirit Woods now withered, the ground scattered with shriveled corpses, as if all their Essence Blood had been drawn out.

"Such cruel methods!"

Li Yunjing inhaled sharply.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve come."

Ji Shuhan’s figure emerged, a prominent figure now somewhat slumped, his voice hoarse, clearly in very poor spirits.

Ji Shuhan led Li Yunjing into the island’s remaining cave residence, waving to set up a Sound Insulation Restriction.

By his side were Lady Ji, whose face was ashen, and his daughter Ji Zixuan.

Besides these three, no other living being remained on "Bibo Island."

Though they hadn’t established a formal sect, the island had hundreds of servants and many Spirit Beasts were raised, now all dead.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we’ve taken a big hit this time."

Ji Shuhan said with a grim face, his voice rasping.

"Yes! Brother Yunjing, the tragedy three days ago was truly horrific!"

Recalling it, Ji Zixuan’s face remained pale as she leaned honestly into her mother’s arms, devoid of her usual vivaciousness.

"What exactly happened, Elder Ji?"

Li Yunjing asked in a deep tone.

The Demon Dao dared to attack the Dao Field of a Nascent Soul Realm Master; this was clearly a declaration of war!

If the "East Sea Alliance" doesn’t launch a counterattack, how could the Demon Dao not become more rampant, attacking the Dao Fields of Nascent Soul Realm Masters on the front lines?

How could everyone stand against the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" on the front line?

This would spread fear, eroding all fighting spirit!

Li Yunjing was determined, regardless of the allure of "Netherworld Ancestor," to eliminate the Blood Blade Sect entirely, annihilating them as a warning to others.

Let the world know the consequences of offending the "East Sea Alliance!"

This was a challenge he must face!

"Three nights ago at midnight, while meditating, I suddenly sensed the Island Protection Array was breached."

Ji Shuhan took a deep breath: "By the time we rushed out, the island disciples were already..."

"Those demon bastards used the ’Blood Fiend Transformation Technique,’ specifically designed to counter our ’Ocean Tide Array’ of ’Bibo Island.’

His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white: "They were evidently well prepared."

Lady Ji Shen Qingshuang took over the narrative, her voice icy: "Leading the attack was the Blood-bearded Guest, the third elder of the Blood Blade Sect, accompanied by thirty-two Golden Core Demon Cultivators. They began the slaughter immediately upon landing, leaving us no time to react."

"Besides personnel, were there other losses?"

Li Yunjing frowned tightly.

"All three hundred servants on the island perished!"

Ji Shuhan’s voice trembled, "Fortunately, some were transferred to ’Shenxiao Island,’ otherwise, my lineage would only have my wife and daughter remaining."

"Why did ’Blood Blade Sect’ suddenly attack ’Bibo Island’?"

A flash of cold light appeared in Li Yunjing’s eyes: "Do you have any vendetta?"

"We have always kept to our own affairs with the Demon Dao."

Lady Ji Shen Qingshuang chuckled bitterly: "Unless..."

She exchanged a glance with Ji Shuhan, "Unless, as rumors say, the Demon Dao has indeed allied with ’Celestial Net Dao Sect."

The cave residence fell into silence.

Suddenly, Ji Shuhan took out an item from his sleeve: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is something we acquired from a demon cultivator during the pursuit."

It was a blood-stained Jade Scroll, engraved with peculiar runes.

Li Yunjing took the Jade Scroll, scanning it with his Divine Sense, and his expression changed drastically.

The Jade Scroll was engraved with the characters "Celestial Net," and on the reverse was a defense map of the East Sea Sea Region!

"So it’s true!"

Li Yunjing clenched his fist, the Jade Scroll instantly crumbling to powder.

"’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ indeed dared to collude with the Demon Dao; if this grievance is not avenged, what face will the East Sea Alliance have left?"

Li Yunjing was utterly enraged.

It was not only anger towards the enemy’s malicious tactics but also towards the Profound Sect branch that had fallen from grace by colluding with the Demon Dao!

In Li Yunjing’s view, what are the Buddhist Sect and Demon Sect?

What qualifications do they have to be mentioned alongside the Profound Sect?

He was full of pride in his own Dao!

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" absolute stance against cooperating with aberrant entities deeply influenced Li Yunjing; he truly looked down on such behavior!

What Li Yunjing didn’t know was that the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" had not truly cooperated with the Demon Sect!

Their current alliance was prompted by how ruthlessly Li Yunjing and his allies had acted, causing heavy losses to "Celestial Net Dao Sect," thus prompting them to heed the Four Seas Commerce Association President’s suggestion and deliver the gathered "East Sea Alliance" power distribution map into the Demon Sect’s control.

These intelligence fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, and their cultivators immediately became restless, took action to seize some advantages, and simultaneously gave the "East Sea Alliance" a lesson, avenging the enmity of "Ghost Fiend Hall" and "Demon Control Sect."
