Chapter 745: Chapter 665 Dragon Sword Sect
Dragon Sword Sect.
A mid-sized power ranking just below the overlord Heavenly Fire Sect in the Flame River Dao.
Although it was only a mid-sized power, with the support of the Heavenly Fire Sect over the past thousand years to counter the Creation Gate, their scale was by no means weak.
They had not only two Heavenly Immortals, Long Xingyu and Feng Daoqi, but also five Peak True Immortals and Supreme True Immortals like Long Congyun, and a gathering of ten Ordinary to Top True Immortals.
As for the Righteous Sect Immortals, Mahayana Saints, and Returning Void Celestials below them, their numbers were even more substantial. Although they could not compare with the Heavenly Fire Sect, they outnumbered the Creation Gate by twice as many.
To say that the entire Sect was in the prime of spring and autumn in the Flame River Dao was no exaggeration at all.
At this moment, at the top of a building said to be cast from the remains of a real dragon within this sect, in a courtyard of just over a hundred square meters, nearly all of the Dragon Sword Sect’s two Heavenly Immortals and fifteen True Immortals had gathered.
Even some True Immortals, stationed at key resource points and cities, attended the meeting through projections and incarnations.
Long Xingyu and Feng Daoqi, the two Heavenly Immortals, glanced over the fifteen people present.
The fifteen great True Immortals were indeed talented, yet the two of them didn’t feel relaxed at all.
The topic they were discussing was even somewhat pessimistic, "You have already seen the latest intelligence. The Supreme Elder of the Creation Gate, Jiang Yufeng, led over a hundred incredibly powerful War Weapons to destroy the Heavenly Fire Sect. Nearly all of the Heavenly Fire Sect’s True Immortals were almost completely exterminated. Their sect headquarters was almost leveled to the ground, and several Grotto Heavens have now fallen into the Creation Gate’s hands..."
"The Heavenly Fire Sect... has actually been destroyed by the Creation Gate? Could it be... a strategy of showing weakness to the enemy by the Heavenly Fire Sect?"
"A strategy of showing weakness? To show weakness, they sacrificed their sect and Daoist Zi Yan has fallen? Are you still unwilling to accept the reality before you? The Creation Gate has been lying low for so many years; it’s obviously not going to endure any longer. They are planning to sweep through the Flame River Dao!"
"How could this happen? How could such a large Heavenly Fire Sect suddenly disappear?"
A number of True Immortal Elders seemed unable to accept the cruel reality before them.
"This is not the time to talk about this."
Feng Daoqi glanced over the dozen True Immortals with some dissatisfaction, "Given the grudge between the Creation Gate and our Dragon Sword Sect, we are their next target for sure. Next... we need to discuss how to deal with the Creation Gate’s attack. Let’s hear your thoughts."
The dozen True Immortals looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
After a while, a True Immortal said, "Whether our Dragon Sword Sect can withstand the onslaught of the Creation Gate..."
Having spoken, it seemed he thought of something, and quickly added, "Won’t the Mo Family intervene? The overlord of the Northern Territory is the Mo Family, after all. The Creation Gate launched a war without the Mo Family’s permission, consuming Spirit Mechanisms to destroy the Heavenly Fire Sect. Won’t the Mo Family come out to punish them?"
"The Mo Family?"
Feng Daoqi shook his head, "On one hand, the Heavenly Fire Sect provoked the Creation Gate first, and the Creation Gate was forced to retaliate. On the other hand, the Creation Gate did not consume too many Spirit Mechanisms..."
"Enough, there’s no point in hiding anything now."
Long Xingyu interrupted Feng Daoqi’s euphemistic approach directly, "In the battle where the Supreme Elder of the Creation Gate, Jiang Yufeng, breached the Heavenly Fire Sect, he displayed power comparable to a Profound Immortal, together with War Weapons whose destructive power rivals Peak True Immortals. Given that the Creation Gate has over two hundred such weapons, facing a Creation Gate that is already powerful enough to rival an overlord, even if the Mo Family really wanted to do something, they would have to call upon all the forces in the Northern Region to act together."
His expression turned cold as he said, "By the time the Mo Family finishes rallying the other forces in the Northern Territory, at least two or three months will have passed. We don’t know what fate will befall the Creation Gate then, but for our Dragon Sword Sect... and for all other forces in the Flame River Dao, other than surrendering, fleeing, or being destroyed, we have no other path to take."
The True Immortals present paled upon hearing their Supreme Elder’s words.
"Profound Immortals!"
"And war weapons with destructive power comparable to Peak True Immortals... The key is that there are more than two hundred of these war weapons..."
How could we possibly fight against that?
For a moment, the dozen or so True Immortals looked at each other, all contemplating retreat, yet none daring to be the first to express it.
Just then, the Communication Jade Token on Sect Master Long Xingfeng of the Dragon Sword Sect vibrated slightly.
After sensing the message within the Communication Jade Token with Divine Thought, he abruptly changed color and exclaimed, "Not good! The Creation Gate has taken over the Heavenly Fire Sect without the slightest pause, and they are already planning to wipe out all forces within the Flame River Dao. We, the Dragon Sword Sect, are the first in line, and right now, the Supreme Elder Jiang Yufeng of the Creation Gate is already leading a host of war weapons, heading straight for our Dragon Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed simultaneously.
"Our Dragon Sword Sect is indeed the first target."
Peak True Immortal Long Congyun, recalling the scenes from the year he had dealings with Jiang Yufeng from afar, turned pale and could no longer restrain himself, "While the green hills last, there will be no shortage of wood to burn. The Creation Gate has destroyed the Heavenly Fire Sect, provoking the dignity of the Northern Region’s hegemon—the Mo Family. The Mo Family will certainly not let this stand. We only need to wait for some time, and the Creation Gate will be crushed by the Mo Family. Therefore, what we truly need to do now is to protect the strength of our Dragon Sword Sect at all costs, rather than becoming cannon fodder before the hegemon’s war breaks out!"
With him speaking out, the other True Immortals also echoed one after another, "When heaven wants to destroy them, it makes them mad first! Now is the time when the Creation Gate is at its most rampant, but they absolutely cannot maintain this madness for long. We just need to avoid their edge and the Mo Family will cast them into an abyss."
"To watch him build lofty towers, to watch him feast his guests, and to watch his towers collapse! The fate of the Creation Gate has been sealed, why should we stubbornly fight them at this time, sacrificing our lives in vain!"
Although Long Xingyu and Feng Daoqi had been mentally prepared, they still felt uneasy upon hearing this.
However, if the Creation Gate could swiftly crush the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon Sword Sect was far too inferior compared to them.
If they still chose to fight to the death without any chance of victory, it would not be bravery, but stupidity.
Moreover...
Both of them, being in the Heavenly Immortal Realm and Supreme Elders, actually harbored the thought of "temporarily avoiding the edge."
"Then we should quickly take all valuable items and evacuate. At the same time, instruct the True Disciples and protectors to scatter and hide, to weather this great disaster," said Feng Daoqi slowly.
"The Creation Gate won’t be rampant for long," he added.
"Yes."
The True Immortal Elders, relieved by the Supreme Elder’s command not to engage in a fight to the death with the Creation Gate, breathed a sigh of relief.
But Sect Master Long Xingfeng of the Dragon Sword Sect was urgently saying, "Supreme Elder, Jiang Yufeng could arrive at any moment. Packing up the valuables... we may not have enough time for that..."
"We can leave other things behind, but we must take the Spirit Crystals with us. Otherwise, if we lose the nourishment from the Cave Heaven Spirit Mechanism after going into hiding, we will struggle even to maintain our own realm," stated Feng Daoqi, swiftly shaking his head.
Long Xingfeng wanted to say something more, but the two Supreme Elders had already left simultaneously, each going to gather their belongings and notify their closest disciples to leave.
Considering that although he was the Sect Master, the two Supreme Elders in the sect would almost always meddle in everything...
He could only heave a sigh in the end.
However, even knowing that there was no time to delay, he still had to fulfill his duty as the Sect Master.
At once, he summoned his disciples: "The Dragon Sword Sect is about to face an unprecedented disaster. Order all elders, protectors, stewards, and disciples to evacuate the sect as quickly as possible. Those who cannot leave must hide immediately, and under no circumstances should they reveal their identities... Leave those external objects, the faster the better!"
"Yes, Master!"
Several disciples responded simultaneously.
One of the female disciples asked worriedly, "Master, what about you...?"
"I am the Sect Master of the Dragon Sword Sect. If the people from the Creation Gate really want to vent their hatred against us for our actions over the years, then let them come at me. It’s better that way, rather than them holding a grudge and eventually acting against the disciples..."
"Master!"
"Go now!"
Long Xingfeng said sternly.
"Master... take care!"
The disciples, sorrowful, bowed and left after paying their respects.
As the order was given, the entire Dragon Sword Sect visibly descended into chaos.
Long Xingfeng felt a sense of indescribable desolation as he observed the scene.
Soon, a strong surge of energy erupted within the sect.
Clearly, two True Immortal Elders were going at each other.
Long Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately flew over, only to see Long Congyun using his Divine Skills, attempting to suppress another top True Immortal.
"You... why haven’t you left yet!?"
Long Xingfeng was momentarily dumbstruck, then quickly shouted, "Stop!"
The top True Immortal heeded the command and yelled urgently, "Sect Master, you’ve arrived just in time. Please judge this matter. Long Congyun borrowed a Top-grade Daoist Artifact from me, and when I asked him to return it, not only did he refuse to return it, but he also attacked me! This is simply intolerable!"
"I didn’t say I wouldn’t return it. It’s just that the artifact was taken to a distant place by one of my disciples, and I don’t have it with me, so how can I return it? But he was relentless and even threatened me, actually thinking that I, Long Congyun, can be bullied!?" Long Congyun retorted sharply.
"You... you..."
Long Xingfeng’s breathing became erratic, and after taking a few deep breaths, he managed to compose himself and shouted angrily, "At a time like this, why are you quarreling over external objects! With the enemy at our doorstep, shouldn’t you be fleeing for your lives!?"
At the same time, he also understood that the top True Immortal was so persistent in wanting Long Congyun to return the artifact because they were worried Long Congyun would be hunted down and killed by the Creation Gate.
After all, when it came to actions taken against the Creation Gate, Long Congyun was definitely the most active participant.
If the Creation Gate were looking to vent their hatred on a true immortal from the Dragon Sword Sect, Long Congyun would be first in line.
"What is all this noise! Am I, this Supreme Elder, invisible?"
At this moment, another powerful presence, accompanied by a faint weakness, broke through the sky.
It was none other than the Heavenly Immortal Long Xingyu.
"Supreme Elder, you... why haven’t you left either? It’s been so long..."
Long Xingfeng was bewildered.
"Heavenly Immortals merge their Dao Fruit into the Grotto Heaven. Do you think it’s easy to separate the Dao Fruit from the Grotto Heaven again? Besides, according to the distance from the Creation Gate to our Dragon Sword Sect, Jiang Yufeng, at best, will take more than half an hour to arrive. Why the rush?" Long Xingyu said with slight irritation.
"Who... who said Jiang Yufeng left from the Creation Gate? He’s at the Heavenly Fire Sect! The distance from the Heavenly Fire Sect to our Dragon Sword Sect is less than half that of the Creation Gate’s! Moreover... his battle power is comparable to a Profound Immortal! How can you gauge his speed using the standards of a Heavenly Immortal, let alone True Immortals!?"
Long Xingfeng’s face was filled with disbelief.
At that moment, he could hardly understand how the Dragon Sword Sect could have grown to such a scale!?
"The Heavenly Fire Sect!?"
Long Xingyu’s face changed color. "Why didn’t you say so earlier..."
The very next instant, an immense aura, carrying an intensely brilliant energy fluctuation, rolled in.
Before the figure arrived, the overwhelming vibrations of heaven and earth had already presaged its approach, like a meteor star hurtling through the atmosphere at tremendous speed.
Suddenly, Long Xingfeng’s face turned ashen.
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness and exhaustion welled up within him.
This Dragon Sword Sect...
Was troubled.
Let it be destroyed.
