#228 - Chapter 228 The War is Coming

Star River Sect.

The hurried bell rang, spreading throughout every mountain peak.

The bell rang nine times, signifying a major event was about to occur.

On逍遥 Peak.

Ye Kong tugged at his fishing rod, leisurely and carefree. Although he heard the bell, he didn't pay attention to it.

Lin Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then led Little White and the others to gather at Star River Plaza.

Although she didn't feel much attachment to the Star River Sect, she was, after all, the Peak Master of逍遥 Peak. When the sect was in trouble, she should still participate.

The Earth Mother stood on the mountaintop, watching everyone go to Star River Plaza. She glanced at Ye Kong, who was still by the Bitter Sea, and walked towards him.

"The Star River Sect is holding an emergency meeting. As the Peak Master of逍遥 Peak, aren't you going?" The Earth Mother asked as she approached Ye Kong.

"It's the same whether I go or not," Ye Kong waved his hand.

How big of a deal could it be?

Ye Kong didn't care. The sect's emergency meeting was nothing more than preparing for war.

Either they would fight the Demonic Cult, or they would fight the orthodox sects, or people would come to fight them. It was nothing more than these three situations.

Just as Ye Kong was about to close his eyes and continue sleeping, a Star River descended from the sky, extending all the way to Ye Kong's side.

"Ye Kong, hurry up," Luo Yangtian's voice rang in Ye Kong's ears.

Although Ye Kong's strength meant he didn't need to fight, as the Peak Master, he had to be present at this critical juncture for the sect.

Helpless, Ye Kong had no choice but to step onto the Star River and head to Star River Plaza.

Seeing Ye Kong leave, the Earth Mother also jumped onto the Star River, wanting to go with Ye Kong, but was stopped by him.

"Don't join in the fun," Ye Kong said unhappily.

If the Earth Mother descended with him at Star River Plaza, it would inevitably cause some misunderstandings.

"Besides, aren't you unable to leave the ground?" Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother.

The Earth Mother rolled her eyes at Ye Kong and said, "Doesn't the top of a tree connect to the earth?"

"Your Star River Sect's fake Star River is connected to the spirit veins below. I can stand on it and ascend into the sky."

Ye Kong thought for a moment and realized that the Earth Mother seemed to have a point.

"Stay put, this is none of your business," Ye Kong said, stepping onto the Star River and heading to the plaza.

The Earth Mother pouted and muttered, "If I can't stand on the Star River, can't I stand underground?"

After speaking, the Earth Mother遁entered the ground.

...

At Star River Plaza.

Ye Kong and the other eight Peak Masters stood in mid-air, with the disciples of the nine peaks standing in orderly rows below.

The Third Elder stood in front of the nine Peak Masters, and the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall led the law enforcement disciples to stand on the periphery.

When everyone had gathered, Luo Yangtian descended from the sky, facing away from the crowd.

"咚咚咚咚咚…" The drums of war sounded, signaling preparation for battle.

Hearing the drums, all the disciples' hearts beat faster.

"Everyone, now the moment of life and death for my Star River Sect has arrived!" Luo Yangtian said calmly, but his voice reached everyone's ears, causing their hearts to sink.

With such a solemn scene, the matter was definitely not small.

"From now on, the entire sect will enter a state of war readiness, and the entire sect will enter the highest state of defense!"

"The Demonic Cult wants to destroy my Star River Sect? In their dreams!" Luo Yangtian shouted loudly.

As soon as he said this, everyone instantly understood where the crisis came from.

"As long as we defend my Star River Sect, the Demonic Cult will not be able to destroy us!"

"Just a Ghost Skull, he can't rule the Cloud Continent!" Luo Yangtian said forcefully.

Little White, who was below, heard the name Ghost Skull and instantly thought of Ghost Skull of the Demonic Skull Sect.

"Could it be that grandson?" Little White muttered to himself.

When he was the Demon Emperor, he ruled the twelve sects of the Demonic Cult.

The Sect Masters of each sect had to bow down to him, and the future successors of each sect followed his lead.

He didn't expect that Ghost Skull, who used to kneel in front of him and raise his head to support his feet, would come to Cloud Continent.

Moreover, he came to inform Cloud Continent.

Could it be...

Did the sects find out about my fall?

Little White thought about it and suddenly understood.

The news of his fall must have been discovered, otherwise the Demonic Skull Sect would not have sent Ghost Skull to rule the Demonic Cult of Cloud Continent.

Little White could imagine that after his fall, the twelve sects of the Demonic Cult would definitely be in chaos, fighting their own battles.

Not only Cloud Continent, but other continents would probably be affected as well.

"Protect the Star River, kill the demonic disciples!" The Great Elder shouted, interrupting Little White's thoughts.

"Protect the Star River, kill the demonic disciples!"

"Protect the Star River, kill the demonic disciples!"

"Protect the Star River, kill the demonic disciples!"

All the disciples shouted loudly, using this to suppress the fear in their hearts.

Ye Kong wanted to yawn, but thinking that it was a solemn occasion, yawning was a bit inappropriate, so he held it back.

After Luo Yangtian boosted morale, he then said, "In the next two days, the sect will regularly distribute spirit stones to all disciples for cultivation. Three days later, disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage will follow me into battle!"

"Yes!" The crowd responded.

A solemn and oppressive meeting came to an end.

However, even after it ended, everyone was worried and nervous.

It concerned the life and death of the sect, and also their own life and safety.

They didn't dare to leave. If they left, they would probably die even more miserably.

All the Demonic Cults in Cloud Continent were mobilized. Where could you run to?

On逍遥 Peak.

Lin Yaoyao and the others returned with heavy faces to prepare for battle. They weren't protecting the Star River, but protecting逍遥 Peak.

Having taken root in逍遥 Peak, they didn't want to leave.

After Ye Kong returned, he sat by the Bitter Sea, watching the waves crash against the shore.

"I was wondering where the wolves came from. It turns out it's the Demonic Cult," Ye Kong murmured.

"That's right. I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just a battle between good and evil? It's been going on for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's still not over," the Earth Mother appeared behind Ye Kong, muttering.

"Do you know the origin of the battle between good and evil?" Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother.

Now the orthodox sects and the Demonic Cult are fighting, but it's just a difference in positions and a competition for resources.

What was it like before?

The Earth Mother saw Ye Kong's curiosity and explained in detail:

"Of course I know. It was a pair of brothers who fought over something. One cultivated spiritual power, you can call him good, and the other cultivated demonic energy, called evil. The two of them fought over something."

"But the two of them were evenly matched and couldn't be defeated, so they trained people to fight for them. The more they trained, the more there were, which are now the orthodox sects and the Demonic Cult."

"What were they fighting over?" Ye Kong asked curiously.

What was it that caused the positions of the orthodox sects and the Demonic Cult?

"I don't know. This thing was eventually taken away by the Lord of Heaven and Earth," the Earth Mother spread her hands.

Ye Kong:...

So, what were those two brothers fighting over?

Ye Kong was speechless. He felt that ancient times were too outrageous.

"Oh right, the Demonic Cult is coming. Do you want to take care of it?" The Earth Mother looked at Ye Kong and asked.

"We'll see," Ye Kong said calmly. He wasn't in a hurry.
