The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2624 - 2599: Demon Sect Attack!

Across an endless chain of mountains, hordes of black-robed warriors assembled, their gazes locked intently toward one spot.

Toward that spot rose a colossal peak that thrust into the heavens, and atop it stood a woman with flowing white hair, her eyes fixed unyieldingly on the horizon!

Next to this white-robed woman coiled a jade-pure, exquisite white serpent, radiating an otherworldly holiness. Far from any savage menace, this white snake gleamed with divine purity, untainted by mortal grime.

The white snake slithered gracefully beside the white-haired woman.

Upon the mountain summit, apart from the white-haired woman and the white snake, over a dozen more figures gathered.

Four among them appeared seasoned in years, radiating a fearsome aura of might, each donning a golden mask.

Etched upon those four golden masks were depictions of demonic beasts: "Tiger, Wolf, Lion, Snake".

These four were none other than the trusted aides of the current Demon Sect Master—the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Sect—all reaching Great Perfection in the Wending Realm, ranking among the mightiest on the Barbaric Ancient Continent.

Off to the side, a gray-robed elder beamed at the white-haired woman; he was Ancestor Ding, the Demon Sect's present Vice Sect Leader.

The remaining warriors mostly hailed from the Death Reversal Realm, totaling seven.

Counting the fallen Shen Qin, these seven comprised the Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect, with Hua Yuxian easily noticeable to Lin Bai among them.

Gathered on this mountaintop were the Demon Sect's elite leaders of today: the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, Four Great Dharma Kings, and Eight Great Envoys.

"Have you investigated clearly?" The white-haired woman curved her red lips into a smile and inquired.

Vice Sect Leader Ancestor Ding cupped his fists and replied, "Yes, Sect Leader. Warriors from the Sword Domain and Soul-breaking Area have forsaken their territories, marching toward the Jianghai Region for a decisive clash with us!"

The white-haired woman smiled and remarked, "For Sword Realm warriors and those from the Soul-breaking Area to abandon their territories, it has to be a command from the East Continent Academy."

Ancestor Ding nodded, affirming, "Indeed, the Order Divine Court of the East Continent Academy directly ordered the Sword Realm warriors and Soul-breaking Area fighters to leave their lands and hurry to the Jianghai Region!"

"Simultaneously, the Order Divine Court called upon every warrior above the Flying Sky Realm across the East Continent to reinforce the Jianghai Region!"

"The East Continent Academy intends a final showdown with our Demon Sect in the Jianghai Region," Ancestor Ding stated evenly.

A scornful smile played on the white-haired woman's lips, as though she dismissed the threat entirely.

Ancestor Ding mulled it over before suggesting, "Sect Leader, we needn't hurry. With so many powerhouses converging on the Jianghai Region, they may seem cohesive now, but time will breed discord!"

"A few months of waiting should suffice for their alliance in the Jianghai Region to crumble by itself!"

Ancestor Ding laid bare his strategies and thoughts to the white-haired woman.

Stroking the sleek scales atop the white snake's head, the white-haired woman smiled and declared, "No need. They're a ragtag bunch from the start—why wait ages?"

"Perfect timing too, with a third of the East Continent's elites bottled up in the Jianghai Region. Seizing it means claiming the East Continent outright, sparing me the hassle of chasing down every territory."

The white-haired woman spoke with a grin.

"Relay to the Eight Great Envoys: Every Demon Sect warrior in the East Continent must assemble beyond the Jianghai Region in ten days!"

"Proclaim that whoever breaches the Jianghai Region claims all Cultivation Resources in the East Continent!"

"Our Demon Sect takes not a single share!"

The white-haired woman issued her words with a smile.

The Eight Great Envoys, Hua Yuxian included, saluted with clasped hands and affirmed, "We obey the Sect Leader’s command!"

The white-haired woman went on, "Tiger King, Snake King!"

At once, the two Dharma Kings saluted with cupped fists and responded, "Sect Leader, your orders!"

The white-haired woman commanded, "Guide the Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars into the Jianghai Region. Scout the defensive formations there and tally the enemy powerhouses!"

Tiger King and Snake King cupped their fists and replied, "As you command."

The white-haired woman then called, "Lion King, Wolf King!"

The remaining two Dharma Kings cupped their fists and declared, "Please instruct us, Sect Leader!"

The white-haired woman commanded, "Assemble the Heavenly Palace’s 108 Generals, station them beyond the Jianghai Region, and the moment Demon Sect warriors show up outside, stretch the battle line and wait for my command!"

Lion King and Wolf King nodded firmly, replying, "Yes, Sect Leader!"

Next, the white-haired woman instructed, "Vice Sect Leader, bring the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Demons and head to the Jianghai Region with me!"

"In half a month, we launch our assault on the Jianghai Region!"

Upon finishing her words, the white-haired woman spun around, mounting the white snake's head. The serpent whipped its tail, shooting skyward in a blink and vanishing into the void!

Ancestor Ding gave a subtle smile while gazing at her departure, then chuckled, "Yes, Sect Leader!"

Ever since the Demon Sect's rise, its Sect Master had wielded the Life and Death Talisman to dominate countless powerhouses in the East Continent, structuring them as the Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars, Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Demons, and the Heavenly Palace’s 108 Generals!

Each of these was a powerhouse at the Wending Realm!

The Heavenly Palace Thirty-Six Stars among them were all peak Wending Realm warriors.

Cultivations of the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Demons exceeded the Fifth Level of the Wending Realm.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Palace’s 108 Generals possessed lower cultivations for now, mostly beneath the Fifth Level of the Wending Realm!

This force epitomized the Demon Sect's might.

Truth be told, the Demon Sect had built this vast strength in just a few brief years, owing much to the Life and Death Talisman.

Once implanted, the Life and Death Talisman stripped away control over one's own life.

Now, at the Demon Sect's decree, warriors dispersed across the East Continent rushed to the Jianghai Region like swarming locusts. In only a few days, massive Demon Sect forces congregated outside the Jianghai Region.

Three days onward, shadowy black-clothed warriors faintly appeared along concealed forest paths in the mountains surrounding the Jianghai Region.

Seven days in, those mountains teemed with black-clothed warriors, all staring toward the Jianghai Region's interior.

By the tenth day, at least ten million black-clothed warriors had assembled outside the Jianghai Region.

Most among these black-clothed warriors were frauds from other lands, seeking to borrow the Demon Sect's name to invade the Jianghai Region and grab Cultivation Resources.

Even though the Demon Sect recognized these as name-borrowers, it paid no mind, so long as their incursion into the Jianghai Region bred chaos.

As Demon Sect warriors continued massing in the forested mountains outside the Jianghai Region, the powerhouses inside the region became ever more agitated...

That day, responding to the Great Witch Emperor's summons, the Jianghai Region's powerhouses assembled once more in the Golden Palace...
