“Orders?” Xiao Hong was taken aback for a moment and continued, “Is the situation of the Five Elements Sect so dire?”

Taking out the yellowed parchment, it clearly stated that Star Moon City needed to dispatch three Heavenly Immortals and thirty True Immortals to the No.1 City in response to the war.

This time, it was Xiao Hong’s turn to smile wryly: “Has it really come to this point?”

Although the situation seemed somewhat dire, Xiao Hong didn’t refuse; instead, he agreed immediately. Even without three Heavenly Immortals and thirty True Immortals, Star Moon City had enough strength to contend with the Xiao Family’s arrival.

The Xiao Family was truly Xiao Hong’s greatest headache; he definitely didn’t want to marry the Black Sea Demon and become his furnace.

Three days later

After intense discussions, Mo Yu reluctantly agreed to Zhan Ge’s orders. As Chen Jiuge’s Spiritual Beast, Mo Yu actually wanted Zhan Ge to stay in Star Moon City, train well, and secure the city.

But one sentence from Zhan Ge left him speechless: “The Fighting Demon Ape is born for battle, and besides, someone has to go fight alongside our master!”

Zhan Ge, carrying his long staff, waved to the crowd bidding him farewell, followed by the nodding and bowing Zhe Ghost, and the Heavenly Immortal Xiao Hu, sent by the Xiao Family, with a bruised face.

Watching Zhan Ge and his group depart, Mo Yu took a deep breath and said, “Next, we still have to deal with the Xiao Family, so don’t let your guard down.”

Yue Meng casually waved his hand and turned around, saying, “I’m just an alchemist, not good at fighting. By the way, there’s a new batch of Heavenly King Pills. Let those with enough cultivation come and try them to see if we can get more True Immortals.”

“Yue Meng, you’re amazing,” Mo Yu exclaimed in delight.

Star Moon City’s high-level fighting force counted a decent number of Heavenly Immortals, but there were very few True Immortals. With thirty taken by Zhan Ge, the city was even more lacking.

“I’ve also refined some Immortal Weapons,” Dabai boasted.

Seeing all eyes on him, Dabai felt secretly pleased and took out his proud creation—a ridiculously large cannon.

“Tch, another cannon.”

“Can’t you create something more original?”

“It’d be nice to refine something we can actually use.”

Hearing the other Spiritual Beasts’ complaints, Dabai, with a dark face, said, “I give you stuff, and you guys don’t even pay. Mo Yu, this Heavenly Immortal Cannon is very powerful; even a Heavenly Immortal can’t withstand a direct hit.”

“Really?” Mo Yu asked skeptically.

Dabai smugly dragged Yue Li, who was limping behind, and said, “See? Yue Li took a direct hit, and now he’s still limping!”

Yue Li, with a dark face, said, “I don’t think that’s necessary to mention.”

“Very well, I’ll report to the master. How many more of these cannons can you make?” Mo Yu inquired.

“With enough materials, I can refine as many as needed.”

“Alright, what do you need?”

Amidst a string of rare spiritual material names, Mo Yu felt a bit dizzy; the cost of refining is quite high, as the entire treasure vault of the City Lord Mansion could only produce less than ten cannons.

“Enough, just refine three for now.”

Though expensive, their power was indeed formidable, and Mo Yu still placed the order with some reluctance.

…

The attack from the Thunder God Temple indeed caught the Five Elements Sect unprepared, primarily due to the outside battlefield where the Five Elements Sect was at a disadvantage, and they had reduced their focus on the developed areas.

Furthermore, the Medicine King Valley was also at war with the Thunder God Temple, and the Thunder God Temple’s forces in the developed area weren’t overly strong. Even with the alliance of the Xue Family, they shouldn’t be capable of fighting on two fronts.

This attack, however, dumbfounded the Golden Immortal elites in the area; the Thunder God Temple’s strength was surprisingly strong?

After a series of discussions, many Golden Immortals decided to recruit forces from other cities. After all, the sect’s resources were already troubled, and a powerful emergency troop must be reserved.

Numerous forces, whether willing or not, were ordered by the massive Five Elements Sect to send their Heavenly Immortals or True Immortals.

Not every force could refuse the orders of the giant Five Elements Sect, even if this giant currently seemed weak.

On the other side, after the Thunder God Temple occupied the outermost defense area of the Five Elements Sect, they made no further moves. Instead, they continuously set up array traps within the defense area.

In just a few days, a heart-palpitating thunderstorm appeared over these defense areas. The Thunder God Temple seemed intent on thoroughly occupying these regions and directly started transformations.

“How arrogant they are!” Liu Yi said angrily.

As one of the outstanding inner sect disciples of the Earth Lineage of the Five Elements Sect, Liu Yi didn’t have a significant family background, and his talent was average. However, like his name, he was very perseverant.

The cultivation technique he practiced, “Earth Body,” was one of the most painful in the entire sect. His battle power was very strong among the Three Flowers Heavenly Immortals, even surpassing Ye Cheng before.

At the same time, he was also the steward of the Big Wood Defense Zone.

“Junior Chen, I wonder, what do you think?” Liu Yi asked somewhat impulsively.

After seeing the Spiritual Beast Chen Jiuge brought, Liu Yi was eager to act. Such power seemed more than enough to attack a defense area occupied by the Thunder God Temple, right?

“Senior Brother Liu, are you planning a counterattack?” Chen Jiuge said with a frown.

“Junior Chen, don’t you want to?” Liu Yi countered.

Of course, Chen Jiuge didn’t want to. The sect had already started conscripting, obviously because they didn’t have enough manpower. If they could hold the second layer of the defense, it would already be great.

As he pondered this and before he could think of a good reason to refuse, something unusual happened outside—the sky cracked open!

Six enormous black holes appeared in the sky, and six figures covered by spirit light emerged from them.

“I am Bai Kaiyan, the Great Elder of the Reincarnation Sacred Land. Let the people of the Thunder God Temple come out to meet me!”

The grand and mighty voice clearly spread across the entire area, making many of the weaker cultivation disciples tremble in fear. Even cultivators with Heavenly Immortal Cultivation felt immense pressure.

“I am Ye He of the Thunder God Temple. Fellows, what does this mean?” Ye He ascended and greeted.

Ye He certainly knew of the fame of the Reincarnation Sacred Land, one of the strongest major sects in the entire True Realm. Compared to it, the strength of the Five Elements Sect and the Thunder God Temple was negligible, like a child.

“I announce that the war between the Thunder God Temple and the Five Elements Sect is over. Besides, return the territories your Thunder God Temple occupied, and concede some additional ones as well,” Bai Kaiyan said casually.

Ye He was shocked and his face turned somewhat grim as he said, “Fellow Daoist, aren’t you making things difficult for our Thunder God Temple? We do have allies, you know.”

Bai Kaiyan sneered coldly and casually tossed out an Elder Token of the Beast God Sect, saying, “Are you talking about that old thing Wei Tuo?”

At the sight of the token, Ye He felt his hands and feet go cold. Although the Thunder God Temple was strong, even able to fight on two fronts against the Five Elements Sect and the Medicine King Valley and still gain an advantage.

But that didn’t mean the Thunder God Temple was invincible. Just the nearby Puppet Sect joining the battle could completely shatter the Thunder God Temple’s advantage.

All this was due to the warning from the Beast God Sect, which kept the wealth-loving Puppet Sect from moving. As for enticing them, that was out of the question, as the Thunder God Temple was too poor.

“Why waste so much time talking? It’s over outside already. If he doesn’t agree, just send people to annihilate the Thunder God Temple. I still need to go back and accompany my granddaughter,” an old man beside Bai Kaiyan said impatiently.

In the next moment, another rift appeared in the air, and it was the hall master of the Thunder God Temple who arrived.

The cultivation of Daluo had already far surpassed the capacity of the Golden Desert, so he merely tore open a rift to transmit his message.

“Ye He, retreat the troops, and allocate the three adjacent cities to the Five Elements Sect.”

“Sect Master, this…” Ye He was unwilling.

“Just do it. After handling it, return to the sect.”

Watching the rift in the sky slowly close, Ye He fiercely shook his sleeves and gritted his teeth, saying, “Retreat the troops!”

The six individuals from the Reincarnation Sacred Land quietly watched Ye He’s actions without saying anything. In the end, their cultivation was only Golden Immortal, though due to the foundation of the Reincarnation Sacred Land, their combat power at the same level was stronger, but it was still just Golden Immortal.

Daluo’s presence still needed to be respected, as Daluo almost stood at the pinnacle of the True Realm, a character that was very difficult to kill.

The Thunder God Temple retreated, and those disciples who had just occupied the defense area and had not yet completely set it up looked very dejected.

Such a large operation, consuming so many resources, and so many disciples lost in the war, only to result in such an anticlimactic outcome, was truly difficult to accept.

It seems now, the four characters of “Reincarnation Sacred Land” weighed heavily in the hearts of all the Thunder God Temple disciples. Whether it was fear or hatred, they didn’t know.
