Chapter 1082: The Gathering Storm

"Then you just have to try not to get caught or killed. Besides, the Inverse Emperor Bell won’t break its bond with Amalia. Once Amalia reforges it with Phoenix True Flame, unless they’re not afraid of Phoenix True Flame, no one will be able to forcibly bind it," Kenny Lin replied with growing impatience.

Kenny Lin’s eyes seemed to be filled with killing intent, and the three Pixiu realized this.

For a moment, they felt a sense of gratitude.

With a firm resolve, they agreed.

"Fine, we’ll do it your way."

Amalia immediately reforged the Inverse Emperor Bell.

Outside the Forbidden Grounds, powerful figures floated in the void.

The four experts who had managed to break free from Master Lian’s sword aura slightly revealed themselves, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, still not revealing yourself?" Master Lian’s eyes gleamed like torches, piercing through the void at a certain point.

A white, gleaming sword appeared in his hand as he casually swung it.

There was no sword aura rippling through the air, but the space in that area trembled and twisted.

A Mahayana stage cultivator fell out from within.

"Taipai Wuying!" The people present immediately recognized him.

The giant hand that had attacked the Forbidden Grounds earlier had indeed been Taipai Wuying’s.

It was unclear how long he had been hiding there.

This person was clearly up to something big, hiding within the space rift.

It’s no wonder everyone hadn’t noticed immediately.

Master Lian didn’t continue looking in Taipai Wuying’s direction.

His sword was about to swing again when two bursts of laughter came from a distant direction.

Moments later, two long arcs seemed to fly from the horizon, their immense pressure announcing the arrival of two Mahayana stage cultivators.

The onlookers were stunned, feeling a surge of fear.

What was going on?

How had so many Mahayana cultivators gathered here?

It had been many years since such a scene appeared, not since the large-scale battles in the Devil Battlefield.

"This could be trouble for Master Lian," Amalia muttered, her brows tightly furrowed as she watched through the Sky Viewing Mirror.

"Those are Mahayana stage cultivators from the Demonic Night Palace and the Artifact Refining. It seems that many of these Mahayana stage cultivators who have arrived are not exactly on good terms with the Green Lotus Sect," Kenny Lin said, his gaze becoming more and more serious.

Amalia’s voice turned cold. "The devils must be determined to target Master Lian this time, pulling out all the stops."

"Yes, sending these people over while trapping others, this is clearly a big play," Kenny Lin said, the coldness in his eyes deepening.

"What’s the situation now?" the three Pixiu asked, confused.

"These human Mahayana stage cultivators have had some past grievances with the Green Lotus Sect. As for why no Mahayana stage cultivators who have a good relationship with the Green Lotus Sect have come, most of them have probably been delayed," Amalia explained.

"Such a move would be unreasonable if they were targeting ordinary Mahayana stage cultivators, but it makes sense when targeting Master Lian," Amalia’s face grew even graver.

She wasn’t sure if the devils still had more tricks up their sleeves.

"Don’t they fear that Green Lotus Sect’s experts will come and kill them?" Kenny Lin’s voice was heavy.

"If Master Lian really falls here, the Green Lotus Sect’s strength will undoubtedly drop. Without the powerful deterrence of a Tribulation stage cultivator, what is there to fear? Compared to a Divine Artifact, offending a large sect is nothing. With the Divine Artifact in their hands, their combat strength will multiply, and no one will be able to resist the temptation. Since they have past grudges with Green Lotus Sect, they are the easiest to provoke. If Master Lian tries to stop them, they will surely unite against him," Kenny Lin said with a mocking tone.

Amalia suddenly spoke, "The human cultivators who attacked Zhar’khaen on the Devil Battlefield back then were either devils or human cultivators who are secretly allied with the devils."

This wasn’t a perfect trap, but it was one that would eventually lure someone in.

At least seventy or eighty percent of the people who would eventually take the bait would likely be strong members of the Green Lotus Sect.

The devils were gambling too, but it had to be said, this was a gamble with a very high success rate.

Everyone looked toward the Sky Viewing Mirror.

Not to mention how the human cultivators who appeared would align themselves, but if things turned sour, Master Lian would have to face at least seven or eight Mahayana stage cultivators alone.

"Lian Qinglan, you refuse to enter the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s forbidden grounds yourself, so why stop us? Is it because your disciples are inside? Does Green Lotus Sect want to monopolize all the treasures of the Nine Heaven Pixiu Clan?" Taipai Wuying sneered loudly.

"Is Lian Qinglan’s disciple really inside?" The Mahayana stage cultivators from the Demonic Night Palace and Artifact Refining Valley who had just arrived were unaware of this.

"They are indeed inside. I can vouch for it. My descendants were killed by them right outside the Green Lotus Sect’s gates, just because my descendants discovered the Pixiu had dealings with Green Lotus Sect disciples," Daehan Zhang said, omitting the truth about Daegang Zhang’s attempt to kill and seize treasures.

Wanhua Yun’s sharp gaze locked onto Master Lian. "Even if Green Lotus Sect is the largest sect on Mystic Void Continent, your appetite is too big."

"Master Lian, your actions are quite unreasonable," said the Mahayana stage cultivator of the Demonic Night Palace, Qixi Yumen, with a smile that was neither a smile nor a sneer.

Only the Mahayana stage cultivator from Artifact Refining did not immediately take a stance.

Master Lian glanced coldly at the group, then turned his gaze toward the two Emperor level Devils standing on his right, their imposing presence unwavering. "Such an obvious provocation—are you sure you want to let the devils enjoy the show?"
