Chapter 759 Backlash Begins

If we talk about the very beginning...

With an air of prior preparation, the cultivators swiftly and forcefully suppressed those who had fallen into a frenzy and whose eyes were bloodshot, and their actions were flawless.

When the dynamic protective net, which fought and retreated, subtly guided the demon army's advance towards the Second Saint Realm of the North Sea Heavenly Capital, only grandmasters of talisman arrays like Yue Hanzhang noticed the clues.

Then.

When they repeatedly used similar methods to once again draw the demon race's military might towards the Jinzhou Star Region.

Anyone who isn't blind or stupid can sense the treacherous thoughts of these people.

However, some things, even if you realize that something is wrong, still cannot be judged by true right and wrong.

These human cultivators, fighting and retreating, were venturing into a gray, ambiguous zone.

As long as they insist on their claim, I am fighting back with all my might, but I am powerless to do so.

The demon race's military might repeatedly swept towards the North Sea Heavenly Capital Two Saint Realms and the Jinzhou Star Region, all of which were coincidences upon coincidences.

If they remain stubborn to the end.

Aside from holding them accountable for their poor performance in the battle, there is nothing else to blame them for.

and so.

As Qin Linhui unleashed the thunder and metal storm, he pushed the remnants of the demon race back.

Even when the remnants of the demon race were already showing signs of collapse from their attacks.

His furious, bear-like eyes coldly fixed on the cultivators who fought and retreated, effectively causing the two bloody battles that had taken place today.

It was at this moment.

He pushed the fleeing demon soldiers back, which connected them with Shang Shi and the others in a line.

The main task of continuing to drive and pursue the remnants and fleeing soldiers of the demon race towards the ancient battlefield has been taken over by Shang Shi and her team.

at the same time.

Originating from the Dao Alliance headquarters, from those moderate families closely connected with Beihai Tiandu, and at the same time, from the aid of ancestral kings.

They crossed the sea of ​​stars to arrive, attaching themselves to the various cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage, and thoroughly organized the force of the counterattack into a complete and flexible battle line.

Liu Jingqiu's figure then appeared in the sky above the Jade Capital Taoist Temple.

He did not take away Yue Hanzhang's control over the Starry Sky Rune Array from afar; he simply felt that the connection between controlling the Starry Sky Rune Array through a King's Decree was far too fragile.

To prevent anyone from causing serious damage, he volunteered to protect the Dharma.

The road ahead and the road behind have become stable one after another.

This allowed Qin Linhui's murderous intent to be smoothly and effortlessly diverted at that moment.

His actions in the gray area prevented him from accurately judging right and wrong in these people.
None of that matters anymore!
With the excuse of failing in the bloody battle, he took the lead as the Lord of Jade Capital Holy Realm and became the nominal Lord of Jinzhou.

What he was enforcing was not private punishment, but the punishments stipulated in the laws and regulations of the Dao Alliance!
He just wanted these people to die!

Die under the watchful eyes of all the human cultivators of the Dao Alliance!

Die before those aristocratic ancestors and kings who secretly guided their treacherous schemes!

Even this moment.

The killing intent emanating from Qin Linhui was even more intense than when he faced the demon army directly!
He was once imprisoned in that small base city by aristocratic families, using the precedents and laws of the Dao Alliance, and with the lives of forty-three of his fellow disciples. After decades of honing his skills, he was almost ruined!
now.

Finally, it was his turn to transform the precedents and laws of the Dao Alliance into a blade aimed at the ancestors and kings of the aristocratic families!
Do you really think that only Yue Hanzhang disapproved of the actions of the aristocratic families?

To be honest, aside from my childhood spent struggling to rise up in the shantytowns.

From the moment Yue Hanzhang embarked on his martial arts journey, he displayed an astonishing momentum, and the schemes and plots of countless powerful families were destroyed in the face of his extraordinary talent.

They have achieved today's remarkable success in a short period of time.

How much suffering did Yue Hanzhang endure from aristocratic families?!

The ones who truly endured the hardships and trials of aristocratic families, and were repeatedly nearly overwhelmed by the pressure, were these "old guys"!
I hate them to the core! Those old bastards are truly righteous and hate evil!

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time!

At this moment, Qin Linhui's extreme mental exhilaration even amplified his already extraordinary aura, which was comparable to that of the Ancestral Saint King in some areas, by an additional ten percent.

"The performance of the Elephant King...it was all a mistake..."

Before Qin Linhui, the aristocratic cultivator let out a heart-sounding explosion of fear, calling out the honorific title bestowed upon this new Daoist cultivator of the Zhuxiang School, the Lord of Jinzhou, by the Dao Alliance.

boom--

But none of it worked.

The roar of his heartbeats was not even comparable to the raging thunderstorm.

In an instant, this man's figure, and even the figures of several people behind him who were unable to escape, were swallowed up in the storm that Qin Linhui unleashed.

Blood mist fell from the sky.

All that could be heard was Qin Linhui's sneer.

"Qin only said he was outmatched in the bloody battle, he never mentioned any misunderstanding, you idiot, you've confessed without being asked!"

Amidst the snickers, Qin Linhui's attacks continued.

At the same time, Wei Ruyu unleashed a barrage of Yin Moonfire from another direction, blocking the retreat of the group of aristocratic cultivators.

Former fellow disciples, now Daoist partners.

On one side, there was thunder and storm; on the other, there was yin fire and rain.

Wei Ruyu perfectly integrated his kingly Daoist aura into Qin Linhui's surging momentum. In an instant, a raging storm of thunder, fire, yin and yang swept across, and one after another, the booming sounds of bodies and spirits exploding into blood mist echoed from within.

The direction of the Dao Alliance.

Finally, as if someone could no longer sit still, they let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

But even as the sound echoed through the Dao Alliance starfield, Yue Hanzhang's cold, sharp eyes had already swept across the Dao Alliance's borders. And at that moment, even colder than Yue Hanzhang's gaze was Liu Jingqiu's!
Liu Jingqiu anticipated the counterattack from the conservative aristocratic families.

However, they never expected that their counterattack would be a replica of the killing scheme that wiped out the Beihai Tiandu lineage in the past!

Without the emergence of business masters, and without Qin Linhui's unique talent in the new path,

If today Yue Hanzhang is truly being weighed as having a declining career.

The Beihai Tiandu lineage may not be destroyed.

After all, Yue Hanzhang's ancestral lineage Saint King-level combat power is undeniable.

However, some initiatives are destined to fail.

What was cut off might just be a sudden idea or plan on Yue Hanzhang's path of cultivation, but what was destroyed was perhaps the only chance for the Dao Alliance headquarters to rise in this golden age!

A strong, uncontrollable urge to kill had already been brewing in his heart.

Perhaps they already knew that things were beyond saving.

Perhaps it was due to the immense pressure from the combined efforts of Yue Hanzhang and Liu Jingqiu.

The faint, elusive aura that had been emanating from the direction of the Dao Alliance vanished completely as the two people's gazes swept over it.

The entire starry sky fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

at the same time.

The sound of the iron hooves of the Fengdu ghost soldiers continued to pound down.

The cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage, along with the ancestral kings who came to their aid, together pushed the defeated demon army back to the ancient battlefield.

And just as those defeated soldiers were about to affect the rear of the demon race's territory.

Under the command of the ancestral lineage holy kings.

The "reserve defense line" that had already been built also advanced forward, meeting the battle line of Shang Shi and her team.

In the process of these two battle lines "sticking" together, the remaining defeated soldiers died tragically at the hands of the ancestral kings who formed the defensive line between humans and demons.

even.

Because they fled towards the direction of the demon race.

Ninety percent of these defeated soldiers even perished at the hands of their own demons!
The indifference of this barbaric tribe is evident.

And equally indifferent.

The ancestors and kings of those stubborn aristocratic families who had stirred up trouble, under the intimidation of Yue Hanzhang and Liu Jingqiu, simply watched quietly as Qin Linhui and Wei Ruyu, under the pretext of failing in the bloody battle, killed those cultivators one after another!

To know.

Being assigned to such a difficult mission requires not only the ability to instantly suppress those frenzied and vicious cultivators, but also the ability to survive in the chaos, and the ability to utilize a dynamic defensive line that even Yue Hanzhang found ingenious during the subsequent battle and retreat.

These people are not ordinary cannon fodder.

Even among the most prestigious families, they are the true pillars and seedlings to be cultivated, and even an important part of the family's foundation and fortune!

The cultivation of such elite children is unique and cannot be replicated even in a short period of time.

Their successive deaths mean that all the resources and foundations previously consumed have been rendered useless, and that a family will lack top-tier combat power in key areas at some point in the future.

The efforts of the past have been wasted.

The foundation and fortune of the future are slipping away.

That's why.

The death of each person was enough to cause the ancestors and kings of the aristocratic families heartache, and enough to make Qin Linhui, Yue Hanzhang and Liu Jingqiu feel happy!

After a while.

As the last crimson mist of blood burned into nothingness amidst the thunder, fire, yin, and yang storms.

The Daoist principles that resonated between the two were separated again.

The mad and unruly aura that had plagued Wei Ruyu in the past gradually dissipated. Her face was flushed, as if she had been enjoying the killing, but she was breathing heavily, clearly indicating that the intense consumption of her magical power required her to catch her breath.

And the other side.

On the contrary, Qin Linhui, who was even more exhausted, severed the blessing of the Jinzhou Starry Sky Rune Array at this moment. He shed his bear body, returned to human form, and was perfectly normal in both body and spirit, only his face was slightly pale.

That's a symptom of poor blood and qi circulation, requiring some physical and mental nourishment and restoration.

But is such a price even a big deal when faced with the Star Sea Rune Array's super-long standby time?

Everyone could clearly feel the invigoration of Qin Linhui's spirit and the enhancement of his surging kingly aura.

this means.

As the master of Jade Capital Sacred Realm, Qin Linhui has already broken through many of the barriers and bottlenecks on his path of cultivation.

With the special talent of the new path of the Zhuxiang School, and the blessing of the star array, he will advance his realm at a faster speed than ordinary people!

This battle.

Far from causing any loss to the Beihai Tiandu lineage, on the contrary, it tempered them in blood and fire, and because of their clear minds, more people actually benefited!

But everything in the world is about give and take.

Since the Beihai Tiandu lineage benefits.

In any given time, one party will inevitably suffer losses in this matter!

Was it merely the deaths of those elite children?

Do not!
That was just the prelude to the backlash suffered by the die-hard families!

Without a sound, Yue Hanzhang turned his gaze toward Yanzhou.
