#237 - Chapter 237 People from Shengzhou are coming
Inside the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Yun Wuji sat on the Sect Leader's chair, fuming with anger.
Below him stood several elders, unsure of what to say.
The major sects had all managed to seize some territory, more or less, but the Heavenly Dragon Sect was the only one that got nothing.
The Demon Shadow Palace and Demon Music Palace, which were close to the Heavenly Dragon Sect, had been destroyed and occupied by the Star River Sect, and by the time they reacted, it was already too late.
"Sect Leader, I think we should just directly seize it!" the First Elder stepped forward and said.
"Yes, the Demon Shadow Palace is farther from the Star River Sect and closer to our Heavenly Dragon Sect, so we should just take the territory of the Demon Shadow Palace," the Second Elder chimed in.
"Take it..." Yun Wuji muttered.
The First Elder continued, "The Star River Sect's foundation is insufficient, and they simply cannot control two territories. We can seize one, and they won't be able to take it back."
"Anyway, our Heavenly Dragon Sect has already fallen out with the Star River Sect, so why should we be afraid of them holding a grudge?"
Yun Wuji thought about it and realized it made sense.
"But what about the Star River Sect summoning the Forbidden Sea Demon?" Yun Wuji was still somewhat worried.
"The Star River Sect doesn't have that ability. Besides, the Forbidden Sea Demon is a great enemy of human cultivators. If the Star River Sect dares to say they can control the sea demon, the Holy Continent will destroy the Star River Sect without us even lifting a finger," the First Elder said.
Yun Wuji pondered, realizing it wasn't unreasonable.
"Then summon the disciples and prepare to seize the territory of the Demon Shadow Palace!" Yun Wuji announced.
"Yes!" The First Elder cupped his fist in response and turned to leave.
Yun Wuji took a deep breath and walked out of the main hall.
Before long, all the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples stood in the plaza, ready.
Yun Wuji strode to the upper part of the plaza and announced, "The Star River Sect has forcibly occupied the territory of the Demon Shadow Palace, which originally belonged to us."
"The Star River Sect is attempting to dominate Lianyun Continent, so let us shatter their arrogance!"
"Now, I will lead you all to the Demon Shadow Palace to reclaim our territory!"
"Understood!" The disciples responded.
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill..."
Before the disciples could finish shouting, the ground suddenly cracked, and all the disciples fell down.
The entire Heavenly Dragon Sect, inside and out, was plunged into a huge pit.
The sudden change of events shocked everyone.
The foundation of the sect could not collapse unless there was some danger.
Yun Wuji wanted to fly up, but he found himself firmly pinned to the ground, unable to take flight.
This made him extremely panicked, and not only him, but all the disciples were the same.
At the spiritual vein of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Earth Mother took away all of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's spiritual veins.
The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor, who was cultivating in the spiritual vein, emerged from the shadows and looked coldly at the Earth Mother.
"Who are you, daring to move the spiritual vein of my Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
"Mind your own business, or I'll beat you to death," the Earth Mother said irritably.
"Courting death!" The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor drew his long sword and pointed it at the Earth Mother.
"You think you can trap me with mere broken stones?"
"Break!"
"Break! Break! Break..."
The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor found that no matter what he did, he couldn't break the stones trapping him.
"What kind of monster are you?" The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor looked at the Earth Mother with apprehension.
"Monster? I am the Earth Mother, not a monster," the Earth Mother muttered, grabbing the spiritual vein in her hand.
The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor didn't understand what the Earth Mother meant at first, but then he suddenly remembered who the Earth Mother was.
"Earth... Earth... Earth Mother True Person, why... why are you... dealing with my Heavenly Dragon Sect?" the Heavenly Dragon Ancestor asked tremblingly.
"Why? You are affecting me," the Earth Mother stored the spiritual vein, and with a wave of her hand, the entire Heavenly Dragon Sect instantly sank into the huge pit, the sect's foundation destroyed in an instant.
Moreover, the Earth Mother filled it with a layer of soil, burying the Heavenly Dragon Sect underground.
Only then did she leave.
Not long after the Earth Mother left, the Heavenly Dragon Sect Leader struggled to climb out of the ground.
He was covered in dust and dirt, no longer with the high spirits he had before, looking extremely disheveled.
He looked at the flat hilltop, his heart filled with endless sorrow.
His Heavenly Dragon Sect was gone...
Several elders also struggled to climb out, collapsing on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Save people, save as many as you can!" Yun Wuji hurriedly shouted.
Several elders dug into the ground, rescuing the buried disciples.
But only one in ten of the rescued disciples survived.
All of the sect's resources were destroyed, and many things could not be found.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect was filled with silence.
The sect suddenly sank into the ground, and no one knew who had done it.
"We still have the Ancestor, we still have hope!" Yun Wuji said loudly, seeing the silence of the crowd.
Then he ran to the spiritual vein to search, and after searching for a long time, he only found the Ancestor's corpse.
The spiritual vein was also gone, and the foundation of his Heavenly Dragon Sect was broken.
Yun Wuji sat alone on the hilltop, unable to figure out who had destroyed his Heavenly Dragon Sect.
When the sect sank into the ground, no one could move, and they could only watch themselves being buried.
He couldn't understand who would have such great ability to restrict everyone from flying?
Yun Wuji's mentality collapsed, completely collapsed.
Even if the sect was rebuilt, his Heavenly Dragon Sect would lag behind the major sects, and in the future, it would still not escape the fate of being devoured.
"Who is it?!" Yun Wuji roared, venting the anger in his heart.
His mind thought of the Star River Sect, but it was impossible for it to be the Star River Sect.
The Star River Sect did not have such strength.
...
Above Lianyun Continent.
A pure white jade-like spirit ship slowly flew in.
There was a golden flag on the spirit ship, and the flag was written with "Myriad Blossom Sacred Ground!"
This spirit ship came from the Holy Continent, the Myriad Blossom Sacred Ground, one of the top sects in the Holy Continent.
After receiving the news from the Holy Continent, they decided to send people from the Myriad Blossom Sacred Ground.
And the leader was Xiao Long, the young sect master of the Myriad Blossom Sacred Ground.
Xiao Long didn't want to clash with the Demonic Cult, so he came relatively slowly.
"I don't know if the Star River Sect has been destroyed or not," Xiao Long said lazily on the deck.
"Yes, whether it is destroyed or not doesn't affect us, but the Holy Continent's requirement is that we must take half of Lianyun Continent, which is a bit difficult," said the disciple behind Xiao Long.
"What's so difficult about it? Let the sects of Lianyun Continent fight with the Demonic Cult, we only need to stare at those people from the Demonic Cult," Xiao Long said indifferently.
He was here to help, but also to be the master.
Just like a ghost, first use strength to shock the sect leaders, and then order them to fight with the Demonic Cult.
He only needed to sit firmly in the rear.
When the spirit ship passed by the Star River Sect, the people around Xiao Long accidentally saw that the Star River Sect was still there.
"Young Sect Master, the Star River Sect doesn't seem to have been destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Long immediately looked down.
The barrier of the Star River Sect was flowing, unaffected.
"Strange, isn't the Star River Sect the first sect attacked by the Demonic Cult? Why is nothing happening?" Xiao Long was suspicious.
"Go down and take a look!"
