Primordial Emperor
Chapter 776 - : Take the Initiative to Ambush

Chapter 776: 776 Chapter: Take the Initiative to Ambush

Divine Flame Sect might not be the most powerful super power in the Eastern Domain, but it certainly holds some status.

Lian Ping, as the Hall Master of Bodhi Hall, had the audacity to swagger into the Council Hall of Divine Flame Sect without prior notification, clearly showing no regard for Liu Qingxia and the Divine Flame Sect.

Therefore, how could Liu Qingxia possibly agree to become a Dao companion with such a person, especially since he was only attracted to her beauty and did not truly like her?

"Commander Qi, I ordered you to lead the Bodhi Hall army to assist Divine Flame Sect, yet how did you carry out your duty, allowing the Red Soul Hall’s army to attack all the way to the gates of Divine Flame Sect?"

"With such incompetence, how can I trust you with important tasks in the future?"

Lian Ping looked at Qi Bingmu, speaking with a hint of annoyance, as if reprimanding Qi Bingmu.

"It’s my fault, I deserve to die for my sins, please punish me, Hall Master."

On hearing Lian Ping’s words, Qi Bingmu immediately knelt on one knee, ready to accept punishment.

"Enough, you have followed me for many years, surely this was not intentional. But now that Red Soul Hall’s army is at the gate of Divine Flame Sect, do you know what you must do?"

Lian Ping said to Qi Bingmu, reprimanding him coldly.

"Your subordinate knows, I shall bear the guilt to make merit, and I will absolutely not let those demon cultivators from Red Soul Hall invade Divine Flame Sect."

Qi Bingmu promised Lian Ping.

Upon hearing Qi Bingmu’s promise, Lian Ping’s anger gradually subsided, then his gaze fell on Liu Qingxia, to see her reaction.

He thought to himself that his actions should elicit some favorable impression from Liu Qingxia.

However, little did they know, Liu Qingxia had long seen through their charade.

The Bodhi Hall army came to Divine Flame Sect purely for resources, and not out of any genuine desire to help.

If they truly wanted to assist, they would not have let the demon cultivators of Red Soul Hall be so brazen as to attack all the way to the gates.

"Qingxia, during this time, I was in seclusion. I truly did not know about the sudden changes in the Eastern Domain, the attack by Red Soul Hall; I let you suffer grievances."

"After exiting seclusion, I hastened here immediately, thankfully without causing any major blunders."

"Rest assured, Qingxia, as long as I am here, those demon cultivators from Red Soul Hall will absolutely be unable to breach our gates."

Lian Ping spoke confidently.

As Lian Ping spoke, his gaze rested on Liu Qingxia, taking in her peerless beauty and her graceful figure, and he could not help but imagine conquering Liu Qingxia.

Liu Qingxia certainly noticed Lian Ping’s lustful gaze and the desire burning within him; he made no attempt to hide it, and she felt extreme revulsion towards him.

Lian Ping’s behavior was far from that of a gentleman.

Liu Qingxia did not believe for a moment that Qi Bingmu’s actions were without Lian Ping’s orders.

Looking at such a repulsive person, Liu Qingxia still had to pretend to remain calm, not daring to fall out with him.

She had no choice; the strength of Bodhi Hall was not something Divine Flame Sect could afford to provoke.

In the past, due to the balance of power among the various forces, Bodhi Hall might not have dared to do anything to Liu Qingxia and the Divine Flame Sect.

But now, with the Eastern Domain in great chaos, the relationship between Bodhi Hall and the Red Soul Hall is unusual, and no one knows what kind of crazy actions Bodhi Hall might take.

"Hall Master Lian flatters me, the Divine Flame Sect has encountered a great disaster today, perhaps it’s a calamity destined in our fate; how could I, with my modest capacity, deserve Hall Master Lian’s personal protection over the Divine Flame Sect?"

"With the current complex situation, I have many matters to handle, and so I must take my leave first, Hall Master Lian, please do as you wish."

Liu Qingxia said indifferently.

She knew very well what Lian Ping was thinking; he just wanted her to flatter him like a docile woman, right? Such a thing, Liu Qingxia would definitely not do.

Even if the Divine Flame Sect had to fight the Red Soul Hall’s army to the last Martial Artist, she would not do such a thing.

After Liu Qingxia finished speaking, she left the hall, leaving behind Lian Ping and Qi Bingmu with ugly expressions.

"Hall Master, this woman..."

Qi Bingmu watched as Liu Qingxia refused to appreciate their Hall Master’s kindness and even dared to reject his goodwill. Looking at her retreating figure, he pointed at Liu Qingxia and cursed loudly.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by a raised palm from Lian Ping.

"No rush, the Divine Flame Sect won’t be able to stop the Red Soul Hall, and when the time comes, I want this wretch to kneel down and beg me to come to the Divine Flame Sect’s rescue personally."

"So aloof? Hmph, I’d like to see just how long she can remain so."

Lian Ping watched Liu Qingxia’s departing figure with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, after Liu Qingxia left the hall, she quickly instructed the Divine Flame Sect disciples and then merged with the reinforcements from the Formation Sect, heading together toward Endless Sky to ambush the Red Soul Hall’s army.

This battle was critical and might be the Divine Flame Sect’s last, so there weren’t many disciples left at the Divine Flame Sect; the rest had all gone to Endless Sky.

At that time, the combined forces of the Divine Flame Sect and the Formation Sect arrived at Endless Sky and immediately began the ambush, preparing to strike the Red Soul Hall’s army.

Although the troops sent by the Formation Sect were not their strongest force, they had medium-grade strength; however, against the Red Soul Hall’s army, the Formation Sect’s forces had no assurance of repelling the opponent.

Because the Red Soul Hall’s army they were ambushing was coming from the direction of Bodhi Hall.

It is known that the strength of the Red Soul Hall’s troops passing nearby Bodhi Hall would not diminish much because Bodhi Hall was letting them slip by.

At this moment, Zhao Yu wore a look of difficulty. As a part of the reinforcements from the Formation Sect, he had originally thought that victory was assured against the Red Soul Hall’s army.

However, the Bodhi Hall’s army also arrived to aid the Divine Flame Sect.

In theory, having an additional army from the Divine Flame Alliance should have increased their chances of victory, but in reality, Bodhi Hall’s forces did not provide any help and instead delayed them.

In fact, due to the Formation Sect’s geographical position leaning towards the south, if it hadn’t been for the Divine Flame Sect being situated at the junction between the Eastern Domain and the Western Region, bordering the very edge of the Red Soul Hall’s influence, the Formation Sect might not have sent troops to support them.

But as an Orthodox Path Sect, confronting the Red Soul Hall was everyone’s responsibility; the Divine Flame Sect’s resistance against the Red Soul Hall was actually sharing the burden for all Sects. Thus, any Sect with a conscience had no reason not to send reinforcements.

Yet, in this great battle, the Formation Sect’s army also suffered considerable losses, especially among the Ten Great True Disciples, two of whom fell in battle.

Although within the Formation Sect, the Ten Great True Disciples would privately contend with each other, when resisting external enemies, they still remained highly united.
