Chapter 639: Nine Dragons Seal, Xuantian's Will
Above the nine heavens, dark clouds covered the sky, and everything was gloomy.

The terrifying heavenly calamity transformed into golden thunder pythons and began to condense in the thick clouds.

The terrifying aura it exudes can be clearly felt even from thousands of miles away.

It was as if a doomsday aura was sweeping over.

All the cultivators who were in chaos in Qianji Immortal City stopped looting and smashing.

They looked at the scene above the sky, with deep fear in their eyes.
How could such a horrific calamity befall the headquarters of the Netherworld Cult?

Among the high-level independent cultivators, some experienced cultivators recognized that this was the legendary Great Heavenly Tribulation of Refining Void.
But on the contrary, although these vicious and ferocious cultivators were extremely frightened, after a brief ideological struggle, not only did they not stop fighting, but the fight became more and more intense.

Now that they have already taken action, they have become complete enemies of the Netherworld Cult and will fight to the death.

The Netherworld Cult will not let them go easily.

It's all done. Just before the heavenly calamity is over, I'll do it and get away with it. Anyway, from now on, Qianji Immortal City will be in chaos, with all kinds of monks from all walks of life mixed together. Who will recognize me?
Many independent cultivators hold this mentality.

What's more, the Lianxu Heavenly Tribulation is so terrifying that it is still unknown whether the Netherworld Ancestor can successfully survive it.

In case of failure, Qianji City will become the world of the scattered alliance and the ownership will change completely.

In the small courtyard of the shantytown, Deputy Alliance Leader Zuo and Xuan Jiuyin looked at the great calamity in the distance with gloomy eyes.

Especially Xuan Jiuyin, the young master of Huangquan Sect who was hiding under the black robe. His eyes flickered as he looked at the great calamity of refining emptiness descending from the sky, and a complex emotion of disbelief and uneasiness arose in his heart.

“I didn’t expect that the Nether Ancestor has secretly cultivated to the perfection of the Spirit Transformation.” Xuan Jiuyin said in a cold voice.

Deputy Alliance Leader Zuo asked, "But does the Netherworld Patriarch have such great confidence to impact the Void Refining Realm? Relying on the foundation of the Netherworld Sect is not enough, right?"

"Let's not talk about the spiritual objects for refining the void, even the spiritual treasures that can resist the heavenly calamity, even if the whole sect is mobilized, it is not something that can be accumulated overnight."

“You dare to stir up the Lianxu celestial phenomenon so blatantly. I’m afraid the Netherworld Ancestor has been prepared for it.” Xuan Jiuyin said.

Upon hearing this, Alliance Leader Zuo was also startled. "Young Sect Leader, are you saying that the Netherworld Sect has secretly refined a treasure that can protect against calamities?"

"Maybe it's from somewhere that he got the secret treasure."

Xuan Jiuyin of the Huangquan Sect did not say anything more. He had more or less guessed some of the key points.

If the Netherworld Patriarch breaks through the Void Refining Stage, it will definitely shake the status of the Huangquan Sect in the Mogu Wasteland.
This time, he led his disciples to the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp, in addition to asking for the sixth-level Netherworld Stone, there was actually another unknown reason.

That is, there is a problem within the Huangquan Sect.
The main reason was that his grandfather, the only great master in the Huangquan Sect who was in the Nascent Soul stage, Old Ancestor Huangquan, had not much time left, which led to rifts among the various factions within the sect.

They have begun fighting openly and secretly, all wanting to gain control of the sect.

Therefore, in order to be on the safe side and to prevent chaos from the several major sects under its rule, the Huangquan Sect, led by Xuan Jiuyin himself, adopted a balancing act.

He deliberately took advantage of the incident of the Netherworld Cult squeezing out independent cultivators in the Chihuang Wasteland to instigate and stir up conflicts between the Independent Alliance and several other incarnation forces and the Netherworld Cult, supporting some and suppressing others, in order to weaken all the forces under his control and subsequently maintain his own dominant position.

In the past, the Wuyin Alliance and the Netherworld Cult had never reached such a hostile and hostile point.

The scattered alliance can even help the Netherworld Cult manage and absorb some of the scattered cultivators to maintain order in Qianji City.

This moment, that moment.

The current situation is all caused by Xuan Jiuyin's usurpation.

Therefore, the Huangquan Sect did not dispatch a single soldier from beginning to end, and at most forced the Netherworld Sect to hand over the sixth-level poison mine resources.

Such resources must not fall into the hands of others under any circumstances.

When the chaos broke out in Qianji City, even Xuan Jiuyin himself did not show up in public, but secretly disguised himself and sneaked into the city.

Originally they thought that the scattered alliance would lead the charge for them, while the Huangquan Sect would sit back and wait.

Xuan Jiuyin's plan was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that a huge change would occur.

“I have made all kinds of calculations, but I never thought that this old fellow, the Netherworld Ancestor, would hide so deeply. He has actually planned everything in secret and chose to attack the Void Refining Realm at this moment!!”

If the Netherworld Patriarch really breaks through to the realm of refining emptiness, that will be the day when his Huangquan Sect will fall.

Thinking of this.

Xuan Jiuyin said nothing and his figure suddenly dispersed, turning into countless yellow spots of light. He disappeared in an instant and flew towards the direction of the Netherworld Sect.

Soon.

Leader Yang of the Wuyin Sanmen League, along with people from several major forces, came before Deputy Leader Zuo.

"It seems to me now, Leader Zuo, that something is not right!"

"What did the Young Master say?"

Deputy Alliance Leader Zuo looked at the golden calamity clouds that were still brewing in the sky and couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas! To the victor goes the spoils. Since I have chosen Team Xuan Jiuyin, I can only pray that the Netherworld Ancestor will not survive this catastrophe."

“There’s no turning back.”

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even those who were at the Spirit Transformation Stage were all in a panic.

It was not difficult for them to guess the outcome if the Netherworld Ancestor successfully broke through to the Void Refining Stage.

Then all those forces and independent cultivators who came to Qianji Immortal City to cause chaos under the instigation of Huangquan Sect will be subjected to a horrific bloodbath.
……

On Obsidian Peak.

Qin Ming stood in the air, looking at the direction of the mountain gate of the Netherworld Sect. He observed the great heavenly tribulation of refining emptiness, which also broadened his horizons.

It can be regarded as some reference experience for him to overcome the great heavenly tribulation in the future.

Boom!

The golden thunder, with unparalleled momentum and carrying the mighty power to destroy everything, tore through the distant sky and fell straight down.

This level of tribulation lightning has exceeded the limit that a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage can withstand. If one does not have the means to resist the tribulation, or a special treasure to resist the tribulation, the physical body alone will not be able to withstand it.

If struck by lightning, the only way out is death.

At the moment when the heavenly calamity fell.

From the depths of the Netherworld Sect, a blue seal-shaped magic treasure flew out. On it were nine lifelike dragon statues, facing nine directions respectively.

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal suddenly grew larger in mid-air, becoming as big as a house, emitting billions of silver-blue lightning rays.

Roar!
An incomparably vast aura emanated from this Nine Dragon Seal.

Then, silver-blue thunder dragons flew out from it, dancing and circling in the air, twisting together and interweaving to form a huge blue thunder shield.

The thunder of the great calamity of the Lianxu Heaven struck the shield fiercely, but failed to break through this layer of defense. Instead, it was dissolved by it, and the remaining power flowed into the surrounding void.

"The treasure to resist robbery, the Nine Dragons Robbery Seal!!"

"How can this be?!"

Xuan Jiuyin of Huangquan Sect, who was halfway through the flight, saw this scene and a look of shock appeared on his face under his black robe.

Suddenly.

He suddenly thought that the Netherworld Cult not only dug up the sixth-level Nether Crystal Stone in the Chihuang Wasteland, but probably also dug up a sixth-level spiritual object with thunder attribute, and spent decades of effort to refine this top-level treasure for resisting disasters.

He had heard of this treasure before.

The Nine Dragons' protective wall is invulnerable!
The core key item of the Nine Dragons Seal is the Thunder Marrow Crystal with thunder attribute. Such a magical item would be coveted by not only their Huangquan Sect, but even the Xuantian Sword Sect, the master of a region, would be jealous.

But he didn't expect that Netherworld would bring him great luck and he actually got one.

Xuan Jiuyin originally thought that the Netherworld Ancestor was forced to rush into the Void Refinement Stage due to the chaos in Qianji City, and he would definitely not be able to survive the Void Refinement Stage's great calamity.

But now it seems that the Netherworld Cult has been planning for a long time and has made all the preparations, even the Nine Dragons Seal has been sacrificed.

This time it was the Huangquan Sect's turn to panic.

Xuan Jiuyin's expression changed from gloomy to bright. After a few changes, he immediately changed direction and left quickly.

With the appearance of the Jiulong Town Robbery Seal.

It also directly shattered the fantasy of the Kirigakure Alliance and made them think of their fate.

Without saying a word, Leader Yang and Deputy Leader Zuo led their men and fled from Qianji Immortal City in a hurry.
The Huangquan Sect has the protection of Patriarch Lianxu, but it is different for them. When Patriarch Youming completes the breakthrough, they will be the first to die.

at this time.

Master Jiuxuan and others in the courtyard also saw the sudden change and knew that the alliance was doomed.

Everyone was in a panic. As the "great contributors" to the attack on Qianji Immortal City, they saw Alliance Leader Zuo and his men abandoning them and left. They couldn't help but say in panic:
"Leader Zuo, you can't go back on your word!"

"Leader Zuo, take us away with you!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Alliance Leader Zuo didn't even turn his head.

Without any use value, these talisman masters became abandoned pawns in this game. He couldn't even protect himself, so who would care about their lives?

……

Half a day later.

The calamity clouds dissipate, and the auspicious clouds are born.

Above the mountain range of the Netherworld Sect, a thousand-foot-high rosy glow bloomed, and a spiritual pressure from a powerful Void Refinement Stage spread out in all directions, causing countless cultivators to tremble and bow down in worship.

Just after the ancestor of the Netherworld Sect broke through.

From the mountain gate, a shout resounded in all directions, causing countless people to tremble in their souls:
"Anyone who participated in the riot in Qianji City today will be killed without mercy! To serve as a warning to others!"

"Issuing a ten thousand wanted order for the leaders of the Sanmeng and several other forces. No one will be spared no matter where they are. There will be a generous reward for the informant! It can be exchanged for one Infant Condensing Pill and one Spiritual Transformation Cream!"

……

Qin Ming looked at all this, stroking his chin and thinking:

'It turned out that they had opened the Infant Condensation Pill and the Spiritual Transformation Cream, which are such generous rewards.'

"It seems that the Netherworld Cult is really going to take action this time, and they are completely forced into a corner by the actions of the Sanmeng Alliance. After all, if the Netherworld Patriarch does not break through, they will be the ones to perish."

……

the other side.

On the mountain behind Qianji City.

Yao Chenzi and others all gathered together.

They also saw that Qianji Immortal City had experienced great chaos in just one day, and the situation had reversed several times, and they were all worried about their own lives.

The main reason is that they are either related to the Netherworld Cult or the Sanmeng Alliance.
Even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, his life is in danger in such a chaotic situation.

Therefore, they are gathered together at this moment to discuss countermeasures.

Shi Susu said worriedly: "My fellow Taoists, in this situation, what should we do?"

"Yao Chenzi, Master Fairy, both of you are guest officials in the Netherworld Sect. Right now, the Netherworld Patriarch seems to have broken through the Refining Void Realm. This incident should not be a big deal for the two of you, right?"

Yao Chenzi stroked his beard and said, "You can't say that. If there weren't a bigger force behind the scenes, the Sanmeng and other major forces would never dare to attack Qianji City."

"Fellow Daoist Yao Chenzi, are you talking about the person behind this incident?" Luo Jinghong was also suddenly shocked.

"That's right! Huangquan Sect!"

“So even if the Netherworld Ancestor achieves the realm of refining emptiness, in my opinion, the situation will probably continue to escalate!”

"You know, Qianji Immortal City is the most important city of the Netherworld Sect. Countless resources are obtained from here. Now it has been looted by casual cultivators. Can you swallow this?"

"Then there is a high possibility that the two sects will go to war directly. When the nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact."

After hearing what he said, everyone present felt that it made sense and agreed with Yao Chenzi's analysis.

Luo Jinghong immediately asked: "What choice will Daoist Yao Chen make? Are we going to escape from the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp, this place of trouble, together?"

"Alas! This is not very realistic. As long as you are still within the scope of the Demon Ancient Wasteland, where can you escape to? It is still under the control of the two major forces, unless you use a cross-domain teleportation array to go to other domains. But this is obviously not something that Nascent Soul cultivators like us can do." Yao Chenzi said.

Que Tianyin, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown and asked, "What should we do then?"

Several people felt that what was happening now was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Li from the Obsidian Peak is now a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. More importantly, he is a fifth-rank spiritual plant master. No matter which side wins between the Huangquan Sect and the Netherworld Sect, he is an important target to be won over. It is estimated that he will be able to survive this dispute." Yao Chenzi said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Shi Susu hesitated.

Yao Chenzi said: "Why don't we seek to join forces with Fellow Daoist Li? If he is willing to take care of us, maybe the chances of helping us get through this crisis will be greater."

The others also reached a consensus after hearing this. Shi Susu immediately said, "Let's do this. Let's go and talk to Fellow Daoist Li to see what his attitude is."

"There is no time to lose. Fellow Taoists, pack up and leave as soon as possible."

The next moment.

Sword cultivator Ling Yang looked around and couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, where is Daoist Fellow Jiuxuan? I clearly notified him, so why is he nowhere to be seen?"

"I don't know, maybe he was delayed by something? Let's go first. If he is not in danger, he will naturally come to meet us." Seeing that the situation was urgent, the others were a little impatient.

……

On Obsidian Peak.

Qin Ming was just thinking about whether to run away when he saw Yao Chenzi and several other neighbors coming to the door outside the cave.

He opened the restriction outside and invited them in.

After Yao Chenzi and his companions came in, they saw that the Immortal City broker Baili Hui was also there. All their eyes fell on this young Jindan cultivator, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.

After some pleasantries.

Qin Ming introduced: "This young friend Baili Hui has some connections with me, so he came to seek shelter during the chaos outside."

"Hello, seniors." Baili Hui also hurriedly bowed and greeted them.

He was also a little puzzled. Why did all these guys in the Nascent Soul stage come here?

Yao Chenzi and the others were quite embarrassed when they heard this, because their ideas exactly coincided with Baili Hui's.

Isn't this a coincidence?

They also wanted to be protected by the great monk "Friend Li Daoyou".

Next.

The few of them did not care about their face and immediately discussed with Qin Ming about how to advance and retreat together.
Qin Ming was speechless. He was ready to run away when the situation got bad.
These old neighbors can only wish for the best by then.

However, Qin Ming still planned to wait and see. After all, the matter had not yet come to an end.

He has the Blue Ice Fairy by his side, who can fly across domains. Even the Refining Void Stage cannot catch up with him.
So I'm not panicking at all.

……

……

at the same time.

In the Mogu Wasteland, in an endless plain, there is a deep abyss in the center that stretches for thousands of miles, as if cutting the earth into two halves from the center.

This place is the gate of the Huangquan Sect, the dominant sect in the Mogu Wasteland - Huangquan Devouring Abyss.

The Netherworld Ancestor successfully broke through to the Void Refinement Stage. Such a huge movement naturally spread back to the sect.

A number of pitch-black patrol warships, carrying densely packed disciples of the sect, were ready for battle at any time and slowly rose from the Yellow Springs Abyss.

In addition, five ferocious ghosts that were a thousand feet tall, all exuding the terrifying aura of perfect spiritual transformation, crawled out from the Devouring Abyss and looked in the direction of the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp at the same time.

An old man in a yellow robe, with white hair and beard, stood in the air, his sleeves rustling.

He looked towards the direction of the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp with cloudy eyes, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone:
"Could it be that my Huangquan Sect's luck has run out? However, before my time comes, I must also know what methods this Netherworld Patriarch has to break through the realm of refining emptiness right under my nose."

Just when Patriarch Huangquan was preparing to set off.

Suddenly!
His eyelids moved and he looked up at the sky.

Swish!
hum!
A sharp and domineering sword light pierced through the sky, streaked across the sky like a rainbow, and landed steadily and straight above the Yellow Springs Abyss.

A heart-pounding wave emanated from it.

The light faded away, and only the shadow of a transparent white giant sword could be seen.

Then, the sword lights condensed into a few golden characters in the shadow: Xuantian Sword Direction!

An extremely majestic voice resounded throughout the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, and it gave a concise command in an irresistible tone:

"The Holy Sect has issued an order! The Huangquan Sect and the Netherworld Sect are not allowed to start a war. From now on, a ceasefire order is issued!"

"If you disobey, your entire family will be wiped out!"

When Huang Quan Patriarch saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is the real overlord!
The Xuantian Sword Sect sent out the Xuantian Sword Talisman and directly intervened in the conflict between the two factions, so he had to obey orders.

"Huangquan Sect obeys your order!!"

As Huang Quan Patriarch bowed to the Xuantian Sword Talisman, the shadow of the giant sword in the sky instantly dissipated and disappeared.
And such a scene.

The same thing happened in the distant holy land of the Netherworld Cult.

The Netherworld Patriarch had just broken through to the Void Refining Realm and was in urgent need of consolidating his realm. The order from the Xuantian Sword Sect gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Naturally, it is what you want.
