Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai and Li Guxian both noticed that something was not right with the leader of Chunyang Sect, especially his words, which were totally irrelevant and did not make sense.

The leader of Chunyang Sect and Li Guxian had their first confrontation across a magic circle. Perhaps the leader of Chunyang Sect did not know what Li Guxian wanted to do at that time.

But that's why he was willing to chat with Li Guxian across the magic circle.

"If we use reverse thinking to infer..."

Lin Bai couldn't help but put him in the position of the leader of Chunyang Sect and look at these things from his perspective.

"If I were the leader of the Chunyang Sect, after judging that the Nine Nether Demon Palace army had just experienced a great battle, although it would not cause serious damage to the Nine Nether Demon Palace army, there would still be heavy casualties."

"If I were him, when I saw the Nine Nether Demon Palace army coming to the sixth line of defense, Holy Water City, I would not chat with Li Guxian at all."

"I will take the initiative to open the magic circle and lead the Pure Yang Sect warriors to give the Nine Nether Demon Palace a head-on blow."

“They may not know the existence of the Devouring Power, but they know very well that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is capable of breaking through the sixth line of defense.”

"Infer from this."

"The best option at that time was to see the Nine Nether Demon Palace warriors reach the sixth line of defense, and then Chunyang Sect would immediately attack them head-on, which would surely defeat the Nine Nether Demon Palace warriors and make them lose their weapons!"

"This is the best strategy!"

After some thought, Lin Bai felt more and more that there was something strange about the leader of Chunyang Sect.

"But the leader of the Chunyang Sect obviously didn't do that. Instead, after seeing the Nine Nether Demon Palace's army arrive, he calmly came to Li Guxian and started chatting with her?"

"The two of them chatted back and forth, and they seemed to be getting along very well. They even brought up the relationship of 'uncle and nephew'."

"Could it be that the leader of the Chunyang Sect really didn't see the opportunity to fight?"

"That's obviously impossible."

Lin Bai took a deep breath and began to guess the real motives of the leader of Chunyang Sect.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

"When the leader of the Chunyang Sect was chatting with Li Guxian, there were even more loopholes."

"Even I can see that Li Guxian deliberately calls the leader of Chunyang Sect 'Uncle Shen' in an affectionate way in order to build a closer relationship and delay time."

"Can't the Master of the Chunyang Sect see it?"

"He must have seen it."

"But why did he follow Li Guxian's idea and give Li Guxian enough time to delay until the warriors from Phoenix Valley arrived?"

Lin Bai recalled the incoherent words said by the leader of Chunyang Sect just now, which was completely nonsense.

"It seems like he is cooperating with Li Guxian's plan. He knows that Li Guxian is stalling for time, so he cooperates on purpose."

"Even if he had nothing to chat about with Li Guxian, he still tried hard to keep chatting."

"But why would he do that?"

There was a fierce fight in Shengshui City. The leader of Chunyang Sect stood far away, watching the fight in front of him in silence.

Lin Bai looked at the calm-faced leader of Chunyang Sect across the battlefield. It seemed as if he had already expected this scene to happen.

"What on earth does he want to do?"

Lin Bai really couldn't understand what the leader of Chunyang Sect was thinking, so he turned his gaze to Li Guxian who was standing next to him.

At this moment, Li Guxian looked extremely relaxed, with a smile that he couldn't help but raise at the corners of his mouth, as if he had already foreseen the victory of this war.

"Li Guxian seems to know that she is going to win?"

"Is it because during their casual chat, the Sect Master of Chunyang Sect secretly revealed some secrets to him?"

"Or does she think that if Phoenix Valley and Nine Nether Demon Palace join forces, they will definitely be able to defeat the Pure Yang Sect and win?"

The more Lin Bai thought about it, the more his head hurt. It felt like all his brain cells had died in the previous moment.

"never mind."

"I don't bother to think about it."

"Anyway, judging from the current situation on the front line, the Nine Nether Demon Palace will definitely have the upper hand with the help of the Phoenix Valley army!"

"It's only a matter of time before the Nine Nether Demon Palace wins."

"Since the Nine Nether Demon Palace was able to win, I don't bother to think about what the Pure Yang Sect's leader thinks."

Lin Bai shook his head, put aside the complicated thoughts in his mind, and stopped thinking about it too much.

So as to focus on the situation on the battlefield.

…

The warriors of the Chunyang Sect who guard the Holy Water City are the elite among the elite, and the warriors who come here from the Phoenix Valley are also elite disciples.

The number of troops on both sides is almost the same, with each side having an army of around three to four million.

After a fierce battle, the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

The leader of Phoenix Valley withdrew from the battlefield and came to the cloud boat to meet Lin Bai and Li Guxian:

"Goddess Li Guxian, Emperor Lin Bai, our Phoenix Valley has already used up all its strength, and we will not be able to take down the Chunyang Sect in a short time."

With a smile on his face, he turned his head and glanced at the battlefield, then said to Li Guxian:

"I can't just watch the disciples of Phoenix Valley die one by one on the battlefield, so..."

“Goddess Li Guxian, please stop standing by and watch. Order the army of the Nine Nether Demon Palace to encircle us from the right wing. We need to capture all the elite disciples of the Pure Yang Sect as soon as possible!”

Li Guxian smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Bai and asked:

"Brother Di Zi, what is your opinion?"

Lin Bai shrugged indifferently and said:

"You are the supreme commander on the front line, just make the decision."

At present, the sixth line of defense has been broken by Lin Bai using his devouring power, and Lin Bai's mission has been completed.

Next, commanding the battlefield and deploying troops were not Lin Bai's forte.

A layman should not tell the supreme commander what to do.

What Lin Bai should do now is to shut up, follow Li Guxian's arrangements, and win this war.

"good."

After Li Guxian got Lin Bai's tacit consent, he said to the leader of Phoenix Valley:

"Instruct the warriors from Phoenix Valley to drive the Pure Yang Sect warriors to the right wing. I will have the army from the Nine Nether Demon Palace chase them down."

"When the time comes, you and I will surround them from both sides and annihilate all the elite warriors of the Pure Yang Sect here."

The leader of Phoenix Valley smiled and nodded, agreeing readily.

Immediately.

Li Guxian issued an order, and Lin Bai saw changes in the two steel torrents below.

The Phoenix Valley warriors dressed in fiery red robes suddenly gathered together and pushed the Pure Yang Sect warriors to the right.

At Li Guxian's command, the monsters of the Yutian Army began to swoop down and slaughter the warriors of the Chunyang Sect from the right wing.

The Chunyang Sect was attacked from both sides, and was attacked from both front and back, and was in complete chaos for a time.

The position was lost inch by inch and was gradually divided up by the warriors from Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Millions of Chunyang Sect warriors died at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their corpses piled up on the ground into a small hill.

Just at this moment.

Li Guxian felt that the time was almost right, and immediately activated his spiritual power and shouted towards the battlefield:

"Pure Yang Sect warriors, those who surrender will not be killed!"

This loud shout actually drowned out the other shouts and cries on the entire battlefield.

The Chunyang Sect's warriors, who were already being attacked from both sides by Phoenix Valley and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, were already in great confusion.

Li Guxian's words undoubtedly dealt them the final blow. Many Chunyang Sect warriors' faith was shaken and they had the idea of ​​giving up resistance.

"I surrender! Don't kill me."

"I surrender too!"

"Don't kill me, I've laid down my weapon."

As soon as one Chunyang Sect warrior laid down his weapon and surrendered, another Chunyang Sect warrior followed suit.

In an instant, the Chunyang Sect warriors who were attacked from both sides laid down their weapons one after another, and then groups of warriors laid down their weapons.

…

Just when Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace were gaining absolute advantage on the battlefield, the leader of Chunyang Sect remained silent.

When he heard Li Guxian's words "Those who surrender will not be killed", a trace of pity finally flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and disappeared on the spot.

In the meeting hall of Chunyang Sect, the great ancestor of Chunyang Sect was still sitting in the main seat.

A strong aura of death emanated from his entire body, and his eyes were filled with anticipation and sharpness as he stared outside the meeting hall.

He hoped to hear good news later.

I heard that the warriors of Chunyang Sect defeated the Jiuyou Demon Palace, I heard that Chunyang Sect gained the advantage on the battlefield, I heard that they were about to win.

However, the opposite happened.

In the empty meeting hall, the leader of Chunyang Sect strode in with a group of Chunyang Sect elders.

The leader of the Chunyang Sect came closer, bowed to the great master and said:

"Ancestor, Phoenix Valley suddenly changed sides and joined forces with the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Our Chunyang Sect... was defeated."

When the great master heard these words, he suddenly closed his eyes and sighed. The already strong death aura on his body became even stronger.

"It doesn't matter."

"We still have the seventh line of defense, as well as the magic formation at our mountain gate, so we can hold on as well."

"It doesn't matter if the Nine Nether Demon Palace and Phoenix Valley break through the sixth line of defense. As long as we defend the seventh line of defense, they still can't do anything to us."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Chunyang Sect finally revealed a look of despair. The humble attitude he had when facing the powerful person was completely gone.

He suddenly sneered twice without caring about his manners: "Hasn't the ancestor figured it out yet?"

"This is not about the sixth line of defense being breached. This is about the Chunyang Sect being doomed."

"The Nine Nether Demon Palace has mastered some kind of secret method that is enough to break all the magic arrays in the world. Even if we have the sixth line of defense, the seventh line of defense, the eighth line of defense... even if we have tens of millions of lines of defense, it will be in vain."

"The Nine Nether Demon Palace has already advanced straight into the Pure Yang Sect and will soon charge into the mountain gate."

Upon hearing this, the great master of the Pure Yang Sect suddenly raised his eyes, stared at the Sect Master of the Pure Yang Sect and shouted:

"How dare you... speak to me like that!"

The leader of the Chunyang Sect shrugged indifferently and said with a casual smile:

"Is there any point in saying this now?"

“If the Chunyang Sect does not surrender, the Nine Nether Demon Palace will surely attack us. Perhaps the ancestor, relying on his great magical power, can still have a chance to escape, but none of us can escape the Nine Nether Demon Palace’s butcher knife.”

"We're all going to die anyway, so what difference does it make by whose hands we die?"

The great master of the Chunyang Sect was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the Chunyang Sect leader and cursed:

"You bastard!"

"You bastard!"

"How could I train a bastard like you to be the leader!"

"Where is the Great Elder?"

"Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect, take down the Sect Master of the Chunyang Sect and abolish his position as Sect Master on the spot. From now on, you are the Sect Master of the Chunyang Sect!"

When the leader of the Chunyang Sect saw the great master of the Chunyang Sect roaring, he sneered:

"You don't have to shout anymore, ancestor."

"The great elder has died on the battlefield."

The great master of the Chunyang Sect was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked:

"What?"

"He's dead?"

The leader of the Chunyang Sect chuckled and said:

"Yes, die in front of me."

"Before he died, he asked me for help again."

"Not only the Great Elder is dead, Shen Qin, Shen Yuan, Shen Mou and others are all dead."

Upon hearing this, the great master of the Pure Yang Sect frowned into the shape of a "川" character, stared at the Sect Master of the Pure Yang Sect with a pair of turbid and old eyes and said coldly:

"It's you!"

"You killed them!"

The leader of the Chunyang Sect shook his head and said, "Ancestor, please don't talk nonsense. They died at the hands of the strong men from the Phoenix Valley and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, not at my hands."

The great master suddenly seemed to understand something, leaned back in his chair, and laughed as if he had suddenly realized something:

"So... you planned all this."

"You have taken over the Nine Nether Demon Palace and Phoenix Valley, and cleared out the masters of my lineage in the Chunyang Sect?"

The head of the Chunyang Sect did not look relieved, but said more solemnly:

"Now I finally understand why there is an unwritten rule between the demon world and the spirit world, that is, those with great supernatural powers are not allowed to interfere in the disputes of the demon world at will."

“I finally understand.”

"Because for those with great supernatural powers, you have gradually lost your humanity over the long years."

"You have only considered your own interests in everything you do, without any regard for the lives of other living beings."

The leader of the Chunyang Sect raised his head, revealing a pair of angry and hateful eyes:

"Ancestor, Chunyang Sect was once proud of you!"

"For a long time in the past, the Chunyang Sect regarded the existence of the ancestor as the supreme glory!"

"But it was only after our ancestor's lifespan came to an end that everything began to change slowly."

"The ancestor just wants to survive and break through his cultivation level."

"For this, the ancestor has done too many things that are outrageous to both humans and gods. He even took the initiative to start a war between the Chunyang Sect and the Jiuyou Demon Palace, and wanted to drag the Chunyang Sect to be buried with you!"

The great master of the Pure Yang Sect was furious:

“That’s enough!”

He roared, and the power of a great master burst out, directly shattering the entire palace.

The powerful force made the leader of Chunyang Sect and a group of elders spit blood and fall to the ground one after another:

"Don't you think... without me, would the Chunyang Sect be what it is today?"

"In the past 100,000 years, the time when the ancestor was in power was the most glorious era for the Chunyang Sect in the past 100,000 years!"

"What qualifications do you have to blame me?"

He suddenly stood up from the main seat in the meeting hall, venting the power of a great master, and shouted in a cold voice:

"I have made up my mind. Gather the warriors, open the mountain gate, and fight to the death with the Nine Nether Demon Palace and Phoenix Valley!"

The leader of the Chunyang Sect endured the severe pain in his body, staggered to his feet, and said firmly:

"Now there is no elder in the Chunyang Sect who is willing to listen to your command."

"Now I am the leader of the Chunyang Sect. Only I... am qualified to issue orders to the Chunyang Sect warriors!"

The gaze of the great master of supernatural powers from the Chunyang Sect slowly moved downward, and with the supreme pressure of a great master of supernatural powers, it fell on the body of the master of the Chunyang Sect.

The pale and bloodless face of the Pure Yang Sect's leader revealed a determined look of fearless death: "As the leader of the Pure Yang Sect, I order... the Pure Yang Sect to surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

The great master roared, "How dare you, you brat!!!"
