Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 588 The Alliance's First Battle (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"It's just my duty, nothing to brag about."

Li Yunjing calmly sipped his tea and said, "Good tea!"

"But... the power of the Enforcement Hall is growing day by day, and it can even bypass the various sects to deal with cultivators directly. Isn't that a bit... too forceful?"

The Holy Sound Fairy's eyes flickered slightly, a smile playing on her lips.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat.

The alliance format is prone to this kind of thing.

Internal strife and infighting will ruin everything.

Li Yunjing must take this matter seriously.

Today, only Fairy Shengyin asked the question. In reality, the other True Persons within the Alliance must also be getting restless.

“In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done.”

Li Yunjing put down his teacup and looked directly at the other party: "If the 'Holy Sound Sect' feels it is inappropriate, they are welcome to raise it, and the alliance will consider it."

Fairy Shengyin chuckled softly, her tone gentle yet carrying a deeper meaning: "Fellow Daoist Li has misunderstood. I am merely concerned that excessive concentration of power can easily lead to unforeseen events."

"The Enforcement Hall is jointly managed by six people, with checks and balances on each other. What changes could possibly occur?"

Li Yunjing's expression remained unchanged: "Could it be... that the Holy Sound Sect has some doubts about the Alliance's decision?"

The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly froze.

The Fairy of Holy Sound lightly tapped the table with her fingertips, and a wisp of clear sound spread out, dissolving the invisible sense of oppression.

"Fellow Daoist Li is overthinking it. Now that the 'Holy Sound Sect' has joined the alliance, we should naturally work together."

Seeing that Li Yunjing had no intention of backing down, Fairy Shengyin had no choice but to change the subject, "However, recently the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' seems to have made some unusual moves, and the pressure on the front line has increased significantly. I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"

The Holy Sound Fairy's initial test was very simple!
Among the high-ranking members of the Enforcement Hall, five are from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," one is her person, and the other is from the "Feiyun Sect."

She had learned many details from Liao Wanqing and understood how beneficial the Enforcement Hall was.

This woman naturally wanted to gain more authority from Li Yunjing.

Unfortunately, her attempt to probe was thwarted by Li Yunjing's righteous words.

Now is not the time to turn against each other. Fairy Shengyin still needs to rely on the "East Sea Alliance" to block the "Tianluo Dao Sect's" military advance, so she naturally will not continue to argue with Li Yunjing.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "If the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' dares to invade, we will make sure they never return."

This formidable woman finally curbed her ambition and stopped being so aggressive.

"With Fellow Daoist Li here, there is naturally no need to worry."

The Holy Sound Fairy nodded slightly: "However..."

She paused, a deep glint in her eyes: "Our sect has recently discovered that the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' seems to be colluding with the 'Netherworld Sea.' If they really manage to get that 'Netherworld Ancestor' to intervene, I'm afraid..."

"The Netherworld Ancestor?"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened: "That demonic cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Exactly."

Fairy Shengyin sighed softly, "This person's cultivation is extraordinary. If he intervenes, the battle situation may change."

"Would the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' be so unwise as to cooperate with demonic cultivators?"

Li Yunjing remained silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Besides, even if this person were to be born, my sect's Five Elements True Person would be more than a match for him!"

“‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is indeed domineering.”

The Holy Sound Fairy gave him a deep look, her smile deepening: "In that case, the Holy Sound Sect will naturally cooperate fully."

After leaving the "Holy Sound Sect", Li Yunjing's face immediately darkened.

He returned to "Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 5", a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"This Fairy of Holy Sound has quite the ambition."

He knew perfectly well that today's test was no accident.

A power struggle within the Enforcement Hall is likely brewing beneath the surface of the alliance.

"Looks like we need to start preparing early."

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then took out a communication jade slip and said in a deep voice, "Ancestor Jiuyou, your disciple Li Yunjing requests that you come to the 'Star Moon Merchant Guild' to meet me. I have something to discuss."

Half a day later, in a secluded room in the courtyard of the "Star Moon Trading Company".

"Vice Sect Leader Li, what happened?"

The Nine Nether Immortal arrived weary from his journey, his face still bearing a hint of doubt.

For the past year or so, she has been organizing the army and practicing formations on the front lines. She also knew about Li Yunjing's arrival in the "Holy Sound Sea," but she just hadn't met with him.

Today, Li Yunjing suddenly sent me a message; it seems something has happened.

"Ancestor, please sit down! Something really did happen today."

Li Yunjing sneered, "Just now, Fairy Shengyin used the matter of Ancestor Youming to test us, but in reality, she wanted to take the opportunity to expand the 'Shengyin Sect's' influence within the alliance."

"These people! With a formidable enemy at hand, they're still thinking about fighting for power and profit!"

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyou coldly replied.

“Ancestor, now is not the time to get angry.”

Li Yunjing raised his hand to stop him, "The most urgent thing is for me to invite the Ancestor to join the Law Enforcement Hall, or at least to hold a position to deter all sides."

"understood."

Master Jiuyou nodded, finally understanding why Li Yunjing had sought him out.

In the "Sacred Sound Sea," the Nine Nether True Man's cultivation level is top-tier, further enhanced by his status as a member of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

Once she entered the Enforcement Hall, it was equivalent to gaining real power within the hall, leaving no room for others to interfere.

Just as Li Yunjing was devising a countermeasure, a shocking piece of news suddenly arrived.

"Azure Wave Island" was attacked, but fortunately the Azure Wave Immortals did not leave their territory because they had taken up a vacancy, otherwise the trouble would have been much greater.

"what?"

Li Yunjing slammed his fist on the table and stood up, demanding, "Can you find out who did this?"

The disciple who came to report the news was pale-faced: "There is still a strong demonic aura at the scene. According to the description of the two immortals of Bibo, the attackers rode blood clouds, and all life was destroyed in their wake. It seems to be the work of the 'Blood Blade Sect'."

"The Blood Blade Sect fought with the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves, but seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they withdrew with their men."

"Since there were not many troops stationed on 'Azure Wave Island,' the two Azure Wave Immortals dared not pursue them, fearing they would fall into the enemy's trap of luring them away from the mountain."

The messenger relayed the information to Li Yunjing in detail.

"Blood Blade Sect?"

Li Yunjing's pupils shrank sharply. "This is really strange. Why did the Demonic Sect choose to make their move at this time? Could it be that Fairy Shengyin's intelligence was accurate, and that the Demonic Sect and the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' have formed an alliance?"

His face was terribly gloomy!
In Li Yunjing's view, the "Tianluo Dao Sect" was so arrogant that they looked down on even their fellow Xuanmen practitioners, so how could they possibly join forces with the Demonic Sect?
This puzzled him a lot.

“Vice Alliance Leader, this matter is likely related to the ‘Netherworld Ancestor’ mentioned by Fairy Saint Sound!”

The disciple who delivered the message said in a low voice.

"Immediately order all islands to strengthen their defenses, and at the same time send someone to inform the Five Elements Master."

Li Yunjing's face was ashen: "I will go to 'Azure Wave Island' to investigate immediately!"

Three days later, when Li Yunjing arrived at "Bibo Island", the scene before him was horrifying.

The entire island was shrouded in a blood-red mist. The once lush and verdant spiritual trees had all withered, and the ground was littered with shriveled corpses, as if all their life essence had been drained.

"What a vicious method!"

Li Yunjing gasped.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've arrived."

Ji Shuhan appeared. This important figure looked somewhat dejected, his voice hoarse, clearly in a very bad mood.

Ji Shuhan led Li Yunjing into the remaining cave dwelling on the island and waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier.

Beside him stood Madam Ji, whose face was grim, and his daughter, Ji Zixuan.

Apart from these three people, there are no other living beings on the entire "Azure Wave Island".

The two did not establish a sect, but they still had several hundred servants on the island and raised many spirit beasts, but now they are all dead.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we've really suffered a major setback this time."

Ji Shuhan's face was gloomy, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Yes! Brother Yun Jing, the tragedy three days ago was truly terrifying!"

Ji Zixuan recalled the memory with a pale face, leaning obediently in her mother's arms, completely unlike her usual lively self.

"Senior Ji, what exactly happened?"

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice.

The demonic path dares to launch a sneak attack on the dojo of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; this is tantamount to starting a war!
If the "East Sea Alliance" does not retaliate, wouldn't the demonic path become even more arrogant and launch sneak attacks on the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators' dojos on the front lines?

How can everyone stand up against the "Tianluo Dao Sect" on the front lines?
Didn't this cause widespread panic and demoralize everyone?
Li Yunjing had made up his mind. No matter what the "Blood Blade Sect" was like, or whether they were relying on the power of the "Netherworld Ancestor," he would eradicate them and wipe out their entire family as a warning to others.

Let the world know the consequences of offending the "East China Sea Alliance"!

This is a challenge he must overcome!
"Three days ago at midnight, I was meditating when I suddenly sensed that the island's protective formation had been broken."

Ji Shuhan took a deep breath: "By the time we rushed out, the disciples on the island were already gone."

“Those demon bastards used the ‘Blood Fiend Spirit Transformation Technique,’ which is specifically designed to counter my ‘Azure Wave Island’s’ ‘Azure Sea Tide Formation.’”

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white: "They were clearly prepared."

Madam Ji, Shen Qingshuang, continued, her voice icy: "The leader was Bloodbeard, the Third Elder of the Blood Blade Sect, with thirty-two Golden Core demonic cultivators. They started a massacre as soon as they landed on the island, giving us no time to react." "Besides the casualties, were there any other losses?"

Li Yunjing frowned.

"All three hundred servants on the island have perished!"

Ji Shuhan's voice trembled, "Fortunately, some people were transferred to 'Shenxiao Island', otherwise, my lineage would only have my wife and daughter left."

Why would the Blood Blade Sect suddenly attack Azure Wave Island?

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes: "Do you have any grudges against me?"

"We have always kept to ourselves and the demonic path."

Shen Qingshuang smiled bitterly: "Unless..."

She exchanged a glance with Ji Shuhan. "Unless, as the rumors say, the Demonic Path has joined forces with the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'."

The cave fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Ji Shuhan took something out of his sleeve: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is what we obtained from a demonic cultivator during our pursuit."

It was a blood-stained jade slip, engraved with strange runes.

Li Yunjing took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed drastically.

The jade slip was clearly inscribed with the two characters "Tianluo" (Heavenly Net), and on the back was a defense map of the East China Sea!
"Sure enough!"

Li Yunjing clenched his fist, and the jade slip instantly turned into dust.

"The Tianluo Dao Sect actually dared to collude with the demonic path. If we don't avenge this, how can the East Sea Alliance save face?"

Li Yunjing was furious.

This is not only anger at the enemy's vicious methods, but also anger at the Xuanmen branch for its self-degradation and collusion with the demonic path!
In Li Yunjing's view, what do Buddhism and demonism matter?
What qualifications does it have to be compared to the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?

He was filled with pride in his path!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect's absolute refusal to cooperate with outsiders deeply influenced Li Yunjing; he truly despised such behavior!
What Li Yunjing didn't know was that the "Tianluo Dao Sect" had not cooperated with the Demonic Sect!

The two are currently allied because Li Yunjing and his group went too far, causing heavy losses to the "Tianluo Daozong". That's why they listened to the suggestion of the president of the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" and sent the "Donghai Alliance" power distribution map they collected to the control of the Demonic Sect.

This intelligence fell into the hands of the Demonic Sect, and the cultivators of the Demonic Sect immediately became restless, launching an operation to gain some advantage, and incidentally teach the "East Sea Alliance" a lesson, and avenge the "Ghost Fiend Hall" and the "Demon Control Sect".

Ultimately, it was all retaliation for Li Yunjing and his group's previous actions.

This intelligence has a time limit.

When the Tianluo Dao Sect made its statistics, the two immortals, Bibo and Erxian, were still visiting Shenxiao Island and had not yet returned.

By the time it fell into the hands of the "Blood Blade Sect" and before they could take concrete action, almost a year had passed.

The Blood Blade Sect encountered the combined forces of the Two Immortals of Azure Waves when they came to the island, so naturally they did not completely destroy Azure Waves Island.

"Fellow Daoist Li, my wife and I are willing to be the vanguard!"

A flame of hatred ignited in Ji Shuhan's eyes as he spoke viciously.

The couple made their name in the East China Sea and were known for being difficult to deal with. Now that they had been bullied, how could they not seek revenge?

If it weren't for prioritizing their daughter's safety last time, the couple would have already fought their way out and engaged the "Blood Blade Sect" in a life-or-death struggle.

"Not urgent."

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Senior Ji, you should come back to Shenxiao Island with me for the time being. Since the Blood Blade Sect dared to make a move, they must have something to rely on."

"Once I've consulted with the alliance leader, I'll directly invite experts to raze the 'Blood Blade Sect' to the ground!"

"it is good!"

Mr. and Mrs. Ji exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

The two weren't stupid; naturally, they wouldn't start a war against a sect without any help.

Moreover, sending their daughter to the Five Elements True Man's side now would ensure everything goes smoothly, allowing the two of them to have no worries and confidently wage war against the "Blood Blade Sect"!
A day later, Li Yunjing, Ji Shuhan and his wife, and Ji Zixuan arrived at "Shenxiao Island".

That night, the council hall was brightly lit.

The Five Elements True Man summoned the Nascent Soul Realm True Men on the island, as well as representatives from various factions within the alliance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this."

Li Yunjing used the Water Mirror Technique, and a huge map appeared in the center of the hall.

Everyone who saw the detailed defense map gasped in shock.

"This is clearly a secret that only our alliance can access!"

Someone gasped in surprise.

"good."

Li Yunjing's gaze swept across everyone present like lightning: "This means there's a traitor among us!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Ji Shuhan said, "Vice Alliance Leader, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and all traitors must be eliminated!"

The Five Elements Master sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone present with unfathomable depths.

He lightly tapped the armrest with his fingertips, and the entire hall was instantly enveloped in an invisible pressure.

"Everyone!"

The Five Elements Master's voice was calm, yet it sent a chill down the spines of everyone present: "The matter of the traitor must be thoroughly investigated. This matter will be handled by Li Yunjing!"

"Yes! We will obey the Alliance Leader's decree!"

Li Yunjing accepted the order with a stern expression and spoke loudly.

The Five Elements Master nodded slightly.

He turned to the crowd, his voice suddenly turning cold: "Effective immediately, the Alliance is under martial law. Each faction must deploy 'Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirrors' within three days, and all cultivators must undergo inspection!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed with the proposal.

The "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror" is a magical artifact of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," specifically designed to detect exotic spiritual energy.

The presence of any cultivator can be detected within a thousand miles.

Based on a cultivator's aura attributes, one can naturally know what cultivation technique that cultivator practices.

If one is from the demonic sect or the Buddhist sect, then death is inevitable.

Of course, the cultivators in the "East Sea Alliance" are not pure either.

Some small sects and families practice impure techniques, using all sorts of methods, with almost no unified lineage.

In this situation, the "East Sea Alliance" naturally had to differentiate its inspections and could not adhere to the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect's" rigid rule of killing all outsiders.

"Three days later, we will send troops to the Blood Blade Sect to massacre and exterminate the entire sect as a warning to others."

Finally, the Five Elements Master issued a new military order.

"Yes!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that war was about to break out.

Unexpectedly, the target of the war was not the "Tianluo Dao Sect," but the Demonic Path, which completely surprised everyone.

Three days later, in the central square of "Shenxiao Island", the Five Elements True Man sat high on the cloud, his body surrounded by five-colored divine light, his aura as deep and vast as the sea.

Behind him, Li Yunjing, Ji Shuhan and his wife, and a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators stood solemnly, while on the square, there were thousands of elite Alliance soldiers ready to go!

"Today, the East Sea Alliance officially launches a campaign against the 'Blood Blade Sect'!"

The voice of the Five Elements Immortal boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the entire island.

"The Blood Blade Sect colluded with the Heavenly Net Dao Sect to massacre our alliance cultivators. This is an irreconcilable feud! Today, I will personally lead the expedition to avenge this blood debt!"

The crowd in the square was excited by the words of the Five Elements Immortal.

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"

……

In the square, thousands of cultivators roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!
Once the noise subsided, Li Yunjing stepped forward and shouted, "Enforcement Hall, listen to my command!"

"exist!"

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and other elite officers of the Enforcement Hall responded in unison.

"You are responsible for sealing off the outer perimeter of 'Blood Prison Island' and ensuring that not a single demonic cultivator escapes!"

Li Yunjing issued specific orders.

"As ordered!"

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and others responded again.

Li Yunjing then turned to Ji Shuhan and his wife: "Senior Ji, are you two confident in leading the vanguard in this battle?"

"The Blood Blade Sect slaughtered all my disciples; this grudge must be avenged!"

Ji Shuhan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"We must massacre 'Blood Prison Island'!"

Shen Qingshuang also said coldly, "Leave no one alive on the island, men, women, or children!"

"it is good!"

The Five Elements Master nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve and said, "Let's go!"

Three "Divine Firmament Warships" were deployed, and thousands of people boarded this fourth-tier warship.

In order to demonstrate the military might of the "East China Sea Alliance," the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" spared no expense this time.
