第两千零三十二章 仙盟令

Several months later.

In a desolate plain of Yunzhou.

"Jade Sword Qi Soaring, Talismans Flying," the magical artifacts danced through the air. Five-colored spiritual light clashed with dark demonic energy, like two fierce beasts tearing at each other in mid-air.

For a while, the spiritual light dominated, then the demonic energy surged back. The battle seemed to be evenly matched, making it difficult to determine who was winning or losing, except for the constant crackling and popping sounds that filled the air.

Clearly, this was a conflict between cultivators and ancient demons. Both sides had about a hundred people each, but they were evenly matched, making the fight all the more brutal.

Before the soul fragment of Ice Soul Demon Ancestor arrived, the demonic forces had toned down their attacks, focusing on reinforcing Tianzhou's defenses. However, this didn't mean they had abandoned the other eleven states; it just meant that their attacks weren't as fierce compared to before. The conflict between cultivators and demons never ceased.

As both sides were evenly matched, a prolonged battle would result in heavy losses for all involved—kill one thousand, lose eight hundred.

Suddenly, from afar, a brilliant light appeared, with colorful light points entering the vision.

"Damn it, they're cultivators! Retreat!"

The leading demon's divine sense swept over and instantly caused alarm. It hurriedly instructed its subordinates to retreat.

Although cultivators generally have an "it doesn't concern me" attitude, the situation in Tianyun Twelve States was different now that a demonic calamity had struck. Even unfamiliar cultivators would lend a hand if they could help their own kind fight against the demons.

With the sudden addition of hundreds of reinforcements, it wouldn't be beneficial for them to stay.

The demons weren't stupid; of course, retreat was the sensible move!

"Trying to escape now? Too late!"

The cultivators saw the distant light and grinned. They wouldn't let the demons leave easily. The sword qi intensified, making their attacks more fierce.

"Fucking bastards!"

The demons desperately tried to break free, unleashing various powerful demonic techniques. The battle instantly became several times more intense, with cries of agony echoing as they fell.

However, the demons couldn't escape because just a few breaths later, those distant cultivators joined the fray.

After a cup of tea's time:

"Thank you for your assistance; otherwise, my Lightning Sword Sect would have suffered heavy losses." The speaker was an elderly man in his fifties, but he looked vigorous. He was a late-stage condensation core cultivator, just one step away from forming an immortal embryo.

"Haha, it’s our duty," the red-faced old man on the other side said with a chuckle. "Against demons, we should stand united."

"By the way, are you also heading to Linglong Valley?"

"Yes, Baxuan Pavilion, Songfeng Academy, and Tianya Hai Pavilion jointly issued a Celestial Alliance Order. As cultivators, how could we not respond? After all, as long as ancient demons remain, there's no safe place for us in the Twelve States of Tianyun. It’s said that Senior Lin from Profound Obscure Stage is also at Linglong Valley. If I can meet him on this journey, it would be worth dying."

"Haha, our Lightning Sword Sect is the same. Although we are few and weak, we must do our part to eliminate ancient demons. We're heading to Linglong Valley as well; why don't we join forces?"

"We share the same intent. By combining our forces, our safety will increase significantly," the red-faced old man agreed.

Both sides indeed joined forces and flew towards Linglong Valley under their respective light travels.

This scene was repeated in many places of Yunzhou, with millions of cultivators flying to Linglong Valley from not just Yunzhou but Qingzhou, Lingzhou, and other regions. The major sects and families, along with formidable independent cultivators, rushed there as well.

The reason? The three major forces jointly issued the Celestial Alliance Order.

A Celestial Alliance is a union of cultivators established after the demonic calamity struck, under the advocacy of major sects and families. No one wanted to be attacked individually; thus, the alliance aimed to coordinate efforts against ancient demons.

While the intentions were good, no one had anticipated the scale of this demonic calamity. The alliance was established but proved ineffective as various forces were divided by demon hordes, leading to separate battles.

Tianzhou and Youzhou fell in succession, and other regions faced dire situations.

However, this time was different. Lin Xuan single-handedly defeated three waves of demonic armies, his Profound Obscure Stage cultivation restored the spirits of the cultivators.

Lin Xuan wasn't one to give up halfway; if he didn't know before, now that he had returned to Tianyun Twelve States, he would completely eliminate the demonic calamity. Although a Profound Obscure cultivator, he couldn't single-handedly combat the entire demonic threat.

Lin Xuan never saw himself as a savior; blind confidence was inappropriate. To deal with ancient demons from across realms required the combined strength of all Tianyun Twelve States' cultivation communities.

After consulting with Lu Ying'er and his four companions, Baxuan Pavilion took the lead in issuing the Celestial Alliance Order. However, this matter was significant, so agreement from Songfeng Academy and Tianya Hai Pavilion was necessary as well.

If it were a different time, the leaders of these three factions would have debated for a long time. But with Lin Xuan's presence, everything became straightforward.

After all, if not for his aid, both sides might already be destroyed. The two factions couldn't ignore his instructions; moreover, their support was crucial since he aimed to end the demonic calamity.

With unanimous agreement among the three factions, the Celestial Alliance Order was smoothly issued. Before that, Lin Xuan's strength had spread throughout Tianyun Twelve States.

News of a Profound Obscure cultivator leading them against ancient demons made all cultivators in the regionboiled over (boiling). Major sects and powerful independent cultivators responded enthusiastically, while even those with decent cultivation rushed to Linglong Valley. They knew that the outcome of this battle was directly related to each one of them; if they couldn't defeat the ancient demons under the guidance of this Profound Obscure senior, the realm might truly fall into demon hands.

In such a moment, self-preservation was impossible. More strength meant more chances for victory.

The large-scale action by cultivators didn't go unnoticed by the demons. They dispatched elite demonic forces to hunt down those heading to Linglong Valley while also reinforcing Tianzhou's defenses!~!
