Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1491 - 623: Framing and the Black Hand Behind the Scenes
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
"Yes!"
Li Yunjing tightened his grip on the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword," battle intent rising in his eyes: "The Dragon Race wants us dead? Let’s see who dies first!"
Li Yunjing immediately stepped out, organizing some eloquent and skilled in escape technique, meticulous Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators. Amidst the chaos of war, they charged out of "Wanghai City" and scattered all around.
These individuals spread across the battlefield, spanning a thousand miles, continuously disseminating the information handed over by Li Yunjing.
Among the Demon Race and Sea Race, Tier Two demon beasts already possessed intelligence comparable to humans, while those Tier Three Demon Kings were even more cunning and treacherous. Once the message spread, it wasn’t hard for these demon beasts to start overthinking.
"Boom!"
As Li Yunjing and his team were taking action, amidst the earth-shaking roar, the second layer of the City Defense Array’s light curtain trembled violently, countless runes flickering, barely withstanding the impact from the demon race’s army.
The steady stream of demon beasts and sea beasts charged at "Wanghai City," seemingly fearless of death...
Wave after wave, the assault never ceased.
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering cries of battle resounded, never stopping.
On "Wanghai City," stretching over hundreds of miles of city wall, the army of cultivators advanced, wave after wave. As one batch fell, another replaced them, from the City Guard and various sect experts, until even ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators ascended the wall and joined the battle.
Ten days later, the war reached a stalemate.
Between heaven and earth, the wicked qi rolled, staining the sky red.
The ocean was likewise a scene of blood.
The corpses numbered in the millions!
In the sea, lower-tier beings numbered countless millions, and with those mindless ordinary beings, billions were slaughtered, the bloodwater dyeing blue skies and seas a crimson red.
Above the bloodstained sea, the massive demon form of the "Jade Water Demon Emperor" spiraled upwards, demon qi soaring high, icy golden eyes gazing down upon the entire city, with killing intent palpable.
"Ming Lingchuan! This emperor gives you a last chance!"
The Demon Emperor’s voice boomed like thunderbolt, causing the cultivators on the city walls to have their blood churning.
"Turn over the thief, or today ’Wanghai City’ will be nothing more than ruins!"
After half a month of intense warfare, the Sea Race and Demon Race suffered countless casualties, even this Demon Emperor could no longer endure, having to come forward against the young ones.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, this is a false accusation by the Eastern Sea Dragon Race. Our sect is willing to join forces with your majesty and bring out the true culprit!"
Ming Lingchuan stood atop the city wall, his robes billowing, expression stern, unfazed by the Demon Emperor’s pressure, speaking loudly: "Our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ has absolutely no thief of treasures."
"Humph! Where is the evidence?"
The "Jade Water Demon Emperor" gave a cold laugh, "With mere words, you want this emperor to withdraw troops? Isn’t this the greatest joke?"
"Evidence?"
Ming Lingchuan’s eyes flickered, also chuckling coldly: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, do you not know about Dragon Qi? Still come to ask me? If our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ really stole the treasure, steal it as we did, afraid of your ’Myriad Demon Island’?"
"Wow..."
Those words sent ripples of shock among the cultivators of "Wanghai City" and the allied Sea and Demon races.
No one expected Ming Lingchuan, despite the appearance of the "Jade Water Demon Emperor," to still maintain such a strong stance!
This kind of dominance invigorated everyone on the side of "Wanghai City!"
Even someone like Li Yunjing felt a surge of enthusiasm, filled with respect for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the Sect Leader Venerable.
This is what truly defines strength!
"Shenxiao Dao Sect" fears no challenge!
"You..."
The "Jade Water Demon Emperor" squinted, showing displeasure.
He naturally detected some Dragon Qi, but did not consider implicating the Eastern Sea Dragon Race, rashly concluding it was the "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" mischievant act.
Now, it seems he might be mistaken?
This made the "Jade Water Demon Emperor" slightly annoyed!
If it proves him wrong, wouldn’t it be an enormous embarrassment?
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, the Eastern Sea Dragon Race was defeated by "Celestial Net Dao Sect." Now they wander the South Sea, intent on instigating a war between our two races for their own gain!"
Li Yunjing shouted loudly, "Not only do they falsely accuse, but they also secretly spread rumors claiming the Dragon Race carries the Eastern Sea’s wealth of millions years hidden in the South Sea, intending to entice forces from all over to contend, disrupting the situation!"
"What?!"
The "Jade Water Demon Emperor" was furious, sweeping his wide sleeves, raising towering waves, "Eastern Sea Dragon Race, how dare they deceive me so?!"
At this moment, the reason for the "Jade Water Demon Emperor’s" anger wasn’t being deceived by the Dragon Race!
But rather, the million-year wealth mentioned by Li Yunjing, sparking the greed within this Demon Emperor’s heart!
On "Celestial Wave Star," in terms of wealth, who could surpass the Dragon Race?
The "Celestial Net Dao Sect" was ruthless enough, deploying thirty-six Nascent Soul Realm Masters, even secretly having Divinity Transformation Realm ancestors intervene, directly defeating the Eastern Sea Dragon Race, occupying the "Crystal Palace."
Now the Dragon Race had been defeated, and indeed might have brought their million-year accumulation to the South Sea!
This ignited enthusiasm in the "Jade Water Demon Emperor’s" heart!
As for the Dragon Emperor of the Eastern Sea Dragon Race?
Just a loser defeated by the "Celestial Net Dao Sect!"
A wastrel who couldn’t even guard their enormous estate, that old dragon was truly inadequate!
His lifespan was nearing its end!
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, the Eastern Sea Dragon Race now is but a stray dog. Why not join forces with us?"
Ming Lingchuan seized the moment, seeing the "Jade Water Demon Emperor’s" resolve wavering: "At that time, the treasures accumulated by the Dragon Race for a million years, split fifty-fifty between you and us, isn’t it a splendid deal?"
"Your Majesty’s discerning eyes, within the wealth carried by the Eastern Sea Dragon Race, must be the ancient treasures such as the Transformation Dragon Pool Water and Dragon Blood Divine Crystal."
Li Yunjing timely added: "If acquired, it would greatly benefit your Majesty’s path of transformation into a dragon."
