Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Five thousand miles north of the Qian Yuan Continent, within the Chao Yun Sect.

Relying on the sect's mysterious spiritual vein and the wise leadership of the current Sect Leader, Daoist Xu Chang, the Chao Yun Sect's strength has been increasing day by day, and it has become the leader of the various factions in the north.

Especially in recent days, when the Immortal Cultivation Alliance issued the 'Extermination Order,' in order to enhance its appeal, the Chao Yun Sect responded most actively, leading eighty-three other large and small sects nearby, participating in the extermination of demonic cultivators as a hegemon.

During that time, the number of demonic cultivators who died at the hands of the Chao Yun Sect was no less than eight thousand, if not ten thousand. Therefore, in the eyes of the Frozen Demon Domain, this Chao Yun Sect is naturally their greatest hatred.

Therefore, as soon as the Frozen Demon Domain sounded the horn of counterattack, it sent an elite force directly to the Chao Yun Sect's headquarters, intending to destroy the Chao Yun Sect from top to bottom, to vent their hatred!

In the past, with the support of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the Chao Yun Sect could naturally be invincible among the demonic cultivators, without any scruples. However, now the situation in the world is chaotic, and the Immortal Cultivation Alliance is already struggling to take care of itself. What spare energy do they have to support the Chao Yun Sect?

Therefore, after several major battles, the originally prestigious Chao Yun Sect has lost nearly half of its disciples, and even the sect's protective formation has been riddled with holes by the demonic cultivators, reaching the verge of collapse.

…

At this moment, in the 'Zhongtian Mingtang,' which symbolizes the highest power of the Chao Yun Sect, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan python robe, with a broad back and a thick waist, was pacing back and forth anxiously in the hall. The chaotic footsteps of "Pa Da… Pa Da" were without any rhythm, enough to prove the irritability in his heart.

On both sides of the hall, there were also dozens of male and female cultivators of various shapes and sizes standing. Their cultivation had all reached the Huaquan Realm, obviously possessing extraordinary status within the Chao Yun Sect!

"Speak! What's wrong? Have you all become mutes?"

After pacing back and forth in the hall a few more times, the python-robed man suddenly stopped and slowly looked around at the crowd with his gloomy and majestic eyes.

When the middle-aged man's gaze swept over, the cultivators in the hall, who were not weak, suddenly lowered their heads, as if they dared not look directly at him.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless good-for-nothings!" Seeing everyone like this, the middle-aged man frowned and angrily cursed.

This person is the current Sect Leader of the Chao Yun Sect, Daoist Xu Chang. And he has a reason to be so angry.

In this hall are all the core figures of the Chao Yun Sect. They are either branch hall masters or elders. In the past, in peaceful times, they would argue endlessly over their own little interests, even risking their lives. But now that the moment of life and death for the Chao Yun Sect has truly arrived, these people seem to have suddenly become mutes, not even daring to fart. The 'heroic spirit' of the past has all turned into 'cowardly bears' at this moment!

It can be said that the reason why the Chao Yun Sect has been able to persist until now under the fierce attack of the demonic cultivators is entirely due to Daoist Xu Chang's own strength.

However, the day before yesterday, when Daoist Xu Chang once again led people to block the demonic cultivators' attack, due to a moment of carelessness, a poisonous Gu released by a demonic cultivator bit his left arm. The poison quickly spread, sealing most of the spiritual power in Daoist Xu Chang's body, making him unable to fight again.

Therefore, at this time, he summoned everyone to discuss the future of the Chao Yun Sect and a strategy to escape the predicament. However, to his disappointment, at this critical moment concerning the life and death of the Chao Yun Sect, these people remained silent, as if they were all afraid of the terror of the demonic cultivators.

How could this scene not make Daoist Xu Chang feel disappointed?

"Report!"

Just when the hall was as silent as death, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door. Immediately afterward, a Chao Yun Sect disciple, covered in blood, rushed in from the outside. Upon seeing Daoist Xu Chang, he immediately knelt down and said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, at dawn today, another five hundred demonic cultivator reinforcements arrived. They are numerous and powerful, and they have launched several rounds of attacks against us. Ancestor Yunwu and Ancestor Yunshang fought bitterly with them for three hours and died together. And those demonic cultivators' arrogance has not diminished, and they have broken through our Chao Yun Sect's protective formation in one fell swoop. They are now rushing here. The situation is critical. I hope the Sect Leader and all the Ancestors will make a decision as soon as possible!"

"What? Junior Brother Yunwu and Junior Sister Yunshang have both died?" After hearing this person's report, Daoist Xu Chang was stunned.

You must know that Yunwu and Yunshang were the two strongest people among the crowd under Daoist Xu Chang. Now that even they are dead, it means that the doomsday of the Chao Yun Sect is probably really coming.

In a short moment, more and more people stood up. At the moment of crisis, what they thought of first was not the safety of the Chao Yun Sect, but their own lives. They did not hesitate to exchange their own safety by surrendering to the demons.

"You… you…"

However, looking at the cowardly and wretched appearance of everyone, Daoist Xu Chang only felt angry in his heart. Under the anger, the poison in his body surged, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Haha, now you want to surrender, it's too late! Today, I will leave no one alive in your Chao Yun Sect!"

However, just when the hall was arguing endlessly, a thick voice suddenly came from outside.

Daoist Xu Chang was shocked when he heard this, and then the whole person rushed out like an arrow.

When the others saw this, they also rushed to the door in surprise.

I saw that the square outside the door was already full of demonic cultivators, and the disciples of the Chao Yun Sect were all lying on the ground, either dead or seriously injured, unable to move.

"Could it be that the Chao Yun Sect's thousands of years of foundation will be destroyed in my hands today? How can I face the ancestors of the Chao Yun Sect after my death!" Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in Daoist Xu Chang's heart.

"Hehe, how you explain it to your ancestors is none of my business, but before you go to see your ancestors, there is something I want to ask you for. I just don't know if Sect Leader Xu is willing to give it!"

Along with a sneer, a bald man wearing a black robe with a tiger pattern tattooed on his face suddenly flew out slowly from hundreds of demonic cultivators, with a playful expression.
