Chapter 20: Taking Action

"Capture those beasts and behead the traitors!"

Qin Peng's eyes were cold as he spoke to Wu Yuzhang and the other demons in front of the Qingxiao Sect's gate.

After killing these monsters, they would wait for the opportunity to attack the Qingxiao Sect.

A group of cultivators who only dared to hide behind the gate, how strong could they be?

Qin Peng was confident that given time, the Qingxiao Sect would be within his grasp.

When they returned to the court, it would surely cause a great commotion throughout the world.

Since the end of the era of the Last Law, the Eastern Wilderness had been divided into a hundred dynasties. His Great Yu Dynasty was just one of them. By destroying the Qingxiao Sect on this trip, his prestige would surely soar, and he would absorb other dynasties as subsidiaries to build a great empire.

"Yes!"

The deputy immediately relayed the order on horseback.

At this moment, all the archers in the army aimed at the White Morning Demon King and the other demons.

Wu Yuzhang and the others had nowhere to escape.

"White Morning Demon King, do you regret it?"

Wu Yuzhang looked at the army in front of him. At this moment, he also faced death with resignation, but he felt a bit regretful.

As a genius disciple of one of the five major sects in Yuanzhou, he never expected that one day he would perish together with the demon king of the demon race at the hands of mortals.

"Why regret? Since the moment the Last Law descended, our fate has already been determined. This is destiny!"

The White Morning Demon King looked up at the arrows coming towards him, his tiger-like eyes deep.

When spiritual energy turned into the Last Law, it was as if it had been a demon since birth.

This is destiny!

When spiritual energy turned into the Last Law, all possibilities of immortality were shattered.

When death became inevitable, the timing of death became meaningless.

The White Morning Demon King's gaze was calm.

Wasn't it waiting for the day when spiritual energy would recover, by bending to the will of mortals?

But not anymore! It would wait no longer!

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Wu Yuzhang's mouth.

How could he not know the changes brought about by the Last Law?

When death became inevitable, everything lost its meaning. Just like when the Last Law descended, countless cultivators committed suicide.

"The path of immortality has come to an end."

Wu Yuzhang turned his head and looked at the Qingxiao Sect, closing his eyes.

The saying "Purple Qi comes from the East, covering eight hundred miles" and the hope of spiritual energy's recovery were all wishful thinking.

The arrows from the mortal army arrived in the blink of an eye, falling like raindrops towards the demons.

Both Wu Yuzhang and the White Morning Demon King were prepared for death at this moment.

The next moment!

"Who dares to cause trouble in front of the Qingxiao Sect!"

An old and angry shout resounded in everyone's ears!

The arrows in the air were cut in half as if by a sharp sword, falling like raindrops.

Wu Yuzhang immediately opened his eyes.

He saw the Qingxiao Sect's Qingxiao Heavenly Formation open, and the clear aura of the sky and the divine thunder of the nine heavens avoided the gate on both sides, revealing a road to the heavens in front of everyone.

Although the once white jade trial stage had long been covered in weeds and no longer maintained, it still emitted a faint white light. The steps made of green jade scattered divine radiance, and the plaque with the three characters "Qingxiao Sect" still emitted a purple golden light.

Under the plaque, three figures slowly walked out from behind the gate.

Among them, the one in the center was naturally Zhang Qingyuan, with Mu Qingxi on the right and the burning anger on the left. He had been trapped in the sect for many years, accumulating deep resentment in his heart. The shout just now was from him.

When the three of them appeared, everyone's gaze was naturally drawn to them.

"I am Wu Yuzhang, a disciple of the Canglan Sect. I ask for assistance from the fellow daoists of the Qingxiao Sect."

Wu Yuzhang looked up at Zhang Qingyuan and the others, shouting.

The Demon King Bai Chen and the other demons also looked towards Zhang Qingyuan at the center.

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan was dressed in a blue robe, his long hair casually tied up, and his hair danced lightly with his robe. Although he had only restored his strength to the Foundation Building stage, his Dao bones had already begun to recover.

He stood in front of the mountain gate, countless spiritual energy fluctuating with his breath, and ten thousand auras centered around Zhang Qingyuan.

Even Qin Peng, who didn't understand cultivation, couldn't help but be shaken when he saw Zhang Qingyuan.

The feeling Zhang Qingyuan gave him was different from all the other cultivators he had encountered before.

"A disciple of the Canglan Sect?"

Zhang Qingyuan glanced at Wu Yuzhang.

The Canglan Sect was located near the Qingxiao Sect, both being two of the five major sects in the Eastern Wilderness of Yuanzhou.

Although the two sects were close, the main territory of the Qingxiao Sect was in the Eastern Wilderness, while the Canglan Sect was responsible for the East Sea region.

As two major orthodox sects under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court, there was no dispute between the two sects. They often traveled together when sending disciples to exterminate demons and monsters.

Zhang Qingyuan sensed the aura on Wu Yuzhang's body, then shifted his gaze to the banner behind the Demon King Bai Chen and the other demons, which was the flag of the Dayu Army that was about to attack the Immortal Court.

The words "Attack the Immortal Court" on the banner were particularly eye-catching.

"Merely mortals taking advantage of the end of the era, dare to talk about attacking the Immortal Court?"

Lu Yiyu sneered.

Although he had only restored his cultivation to the Qi Refining stage and was far from being a match for this million-strong army head-on, he had already found a new path. As long as he was given time, no matter how many mortals there were, they would all be the same to him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuzhang and the other demons were immediately delighted.

Lu Yiyu's words were clearly indicating their position!

As long as the cultivators of the Qingxiao Sect stood on their side, they would be allies.

But just as Wu Yuzhang was about to step forward, the pressure emanating from Zhang Qingyuan instantly descended.

"Stop!"

The pressure, like a mountain, instantly descended upon the mountain gate of the Qingxiao Sect.

The Demon King Bai Chen and the other demons suddenly felt as if a thousand-pound boulder had fallen on their heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.

What does this mean?

The demons couldn't help but look at Wu Yuzhang.

At this moment, Wu Yuzhang was also within the range of Zhang Qingyuan's pressure, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, he had been too presumptuous.

Although the Qingxiao Sect had opened its mountain gate, it didn't necessarily mean they would accept them.

Zhang Qingyuan's gaze fell on the army of mortals, and he didn't care about Wu Yuzhang and the others.

As the leader of the mortal army, Qin Peng felt a sudden increase in pressure when he saw Zhang Qingyuan at the mountain gate.

Even though Zhang Qingyuan's pressure couldn't reach the army several miles away, the imposing momentum of the open mountain gate had already caused a faint sense of chaos among the army attacking the Immortal Court.

The previous auspicious sign and the army's morale had already shown signs of collapse.

But!

The Qingxiao Sect only had three people!

So what if they had an extraordinary temperament?

Hadn't he killed enough cultivators along the way?!

"Spread my order, the entire army attack, ascend the mountain and attack the Immortal Court!"

Qin Peng held the command flag and said to the surrounding deputy generals.

He looked deeply at the mountain gate of the Qingxiao Sect.

Cultivators were also human! They would die if struck at a vital point!

This was the experience he had gained along the way!

With Qin Peng's command, the hesitant left cavalry and the central army immediately rushed towards the Qingxiao Sect.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses charged together, their momentum overwhelmingly powerful, and the rising yellow dust obscured the sky.

A sense of killing intent faintly gathered.

"Kill!"
