Within the Sacred Hall of the Three Absolutes Holy Land.
The atmosphere was tense and heavy to the extreme.
A total of six Supremes had emerged!
Many of them had been in seclusive meditation before this, unwilling to accept any disturbance.
But now, they were forced to leave their seclusion.
Because such a time signified that their Holy Land was facing a major crisis.
“Sect Master, what has happened that requires the assembly of us all?”
An elder with gray hair asked. He even emitted a decayed aura.
This was an old Supreme, trapped on the verge of becoming an Immortal, unable to break through.
All eyes turned to a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall.
The middle-aged man’s aura was dormant, but his eyes seemed to flash with divine lightning.
He was Changsun Liancheng, the current Saint Master of the Three Absolutes Holy Land.
“Shi Tai and Tie Ming, two Supremes, arrived in the Southern Territory, the Cangli Mountain Range a few days ago through the Teleportation Array!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression turned stern.
“Now, both Supremes, Tie Ming has died, his Soul Lamp extinguished; Shi Tai’s Soul Lamp is extremely weak, on the verge of dissipating. The news from there said he has gone mad.”
In the hall, many Supremes were shocked at this moment.
“One dead, one mad… what on earth did they encounter?”
“Could it be some terrifying entity?”
“No wonder we had to leave seclusion…”
The crowd spoke out, and the old Supreme who had asked the question earlier said, “Could they have been harmed due to encountering the terrifying entity within the Cangli Mountain Range?”
The Cangli Mountain Range was known to all in the Xuantian Realm as a forbidden place.
If the two Supremes had indeed been killed by the terrifying beings there, then everything would make sense, as that range was known to be a graveyard for Supremes.
However, Changsun Liancheng shookhis head and said, “Not so, they were harmed by others!”
“According to the news passed back by the disciples of Shi Tai and Tie Ming, they were harmed by the traitors Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who colluded with a certain entity!”
“Regardless of who Zi Ling and Nan Feng have pledged allegiance to, after harming two of our Holy Land’s Supremes, letting their disciples go was a clear display of a threat against us!”
“This is provocation!”
Changsun Liancheng spoke coldly, “If faced with such humiliation, we do not wage war, then our Holy Land’s reputation will undoubtedly be damaged!”
All the Supremes shuddered.
“Therefore, the purpose of gathering today is singular!”
“Our Holy Land… should rightfully launch a Holy War!”
“To avenge the two Supremes!”
At these words, the expressions of many Supremes changed.
Holy War!
Unless it came to a matter of life and death, Holy Wars were never initiated.
When a Holy War begins, it means either death or survival.
There were no other options.
Had things really come to this?
“Without clarifying the full details of the incident, isn’t it too premature to launch a Holy War?”
The old Supreme couldn’t help speaking out.
The faces of the other Supremes also showed hesitation.
But at this time, Changsun Liancheng stood up; his face was cold as he said, “My friends, do not forget, the Cangli Mountain Range has been opened!”
“How many years has it been since our Three Absolutes Holy Land produced an Immortal?”
“Our Ancestor, before stepping onto the Ascension Platform, left the Proof of Immortal Zither and Immortal Ascension Brush which contain the Immortal Path, in the Cangli Mountain Range!”
“With both Supremes defeated, we must mobilize our full strength to have a chance of reclaiming them!”
“Only then, will we have the opportunity to forge another era of brilliance!”
In an instant, everyone understood.
The purpose of the Holy War was not the individual who harmed the two Supremes.
It was the divine relics left by the Three Absolute Immortal within the Cangli Mountain Range!
“I understand. Only with a Holy War will we have a pretext to intervene in the affairs of the Southern Territory.”
The old Supreme sighed.
After all, the Three Absolutes Holy Land was a Sect Gate of the Central Province; directly entering the Southern Territory seeking fortunes would inevitably face resistance from the Southern Territory.
This would be a violation of the rules.
But now, the death of the two Supremes provided them with an excuse.
Soon, within the Three Absolutes Holy Land, an order was issued!
“Gather the forces of the Holy Land, initiate the Saint War!”
“To avenge the Supreme Tie Ming and Shi Tai!”
Once the news spread, the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land was shaken.
Saint War!
Swiftly, the news of the Three Absolutes Holy Land from the Central Province marching into the Southern Territory caused a stir.
The Southern Territory paid close attention.
The news that two Supremes had either died or gone mad also spread throughout the entire Southern Territory, pushed by the Three Absolutes Holy Land themselves.
After all, they needed the news of the two Supremes’ misfortunes to spread far and wide, so they would have a justifiable reason.
All areas of the Southern Territory were instantly shaken as well.
“Someone dared to strike at the Supremes of the Three Absolutes Holy Land around the Cangli Mountain Range, resulting in one death and one madness!” “It’s terrifying. Could it have been the work of an Almost Immortal?”
“The Cangli Mountain Range, it’s indeed becoming more and more complicated…”
The topic was explosive everywhere.
And at that moment.
Outside the Cangli Mountain Range, troops had already been assembled.
Leading them were the Ziyang Holy Land and the Taiyan Holy Land.
The two Holy Lands took the lead in forming an exploratory alliance for the Cangli Mountain Range.
The great changes in the Cangli Mountain Range, though they had led to a disaster, also represented a true grand opportunity.
The original myriad of forbidden arrays were now destroyed.
It was possible to enter them now.
“Report!”
A Mahayana Realm expert approached rapidly, bringing the latest news, “The Three Absolutes Holy Land from the Central Province has initiated a Saint War, heading towards the Cangli Mountain Range!”
“It is said that the Supremes Shi Tai and Tie Ming of the Three Absolutes Holy Land were harmed by the traitors Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who colluded with a hidden entity at the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, resulting in one death and one madness. This has ignited the fury of the Three Absolutes Holy Land.”
The leaders of the allied forces were none other than Luo Ming and Hong Xuan!
These two were regarded as the favored ones by Senior Li, thus they became the commanders of the alliance.
Upon hearing the news, both exchanged a look, seeing the same gravity and speculation in each other’s eyes!
“Could it be Senior Li…?”
Hong Xuan spoke.
“It certainly is!”
Luo Ming affirmed decisively, “The so-called traitors of the Three Absolutes Holy Land, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, are most likely those two who have been following Senior Li.”
“And looking at the entire Southern Territory, who else could easily drive two Supremes to one death and one madness?”
Hong Xuan’s expression was extremely grave!
“It’s hard to know if these two actually stepped into Senior Li’s small courtyard this time…”
Luo Ming couldn’t help recalling the two Supreme Demon Generals who died outside Senior Li’s gate on the last occasion.
Even with the Immortal-level power unleashed from their Demon Souls, they couldn’t take a step into the courtyard…
If the Three Absolutes Holy Land knew about this, would they still dare to launch a Saint War?
They would probably turn tail and run…
He suddenly said mockingly,
“The Three Absolutes Holy Land thinks itself clever, using the deaths of the two Supremes to vie for the opportunity of the Cangli Mountain Range. They’re pitifully mistaken. To initiate a Saint War against an existence like Senior Li, truly a sign their judgment has lapsed!”
“Their little cleverness will bring disaster upon their entire Holy Land!”
Hong Xuan then said, “Should we step in, they dare to show such disrespect towards Senior Li…”
“No need, all of this is certainly within Senior Li’s calculations.”
Luo Ming said, “In the hands of Senior Li, Holy Lands are but chess pieces after all. We should be thankful that Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land are at least useful pieces… whereas the Three Absolutes Holy Land, evidently, is about to become a discarded one!”
Hong Xuan had a complicated expression on his face!
“No matter what, towards the Cangli Mountain Range, we march!”
We march!
The allied forces, like a tidal wave, quickly crossed the periphery of the Cangli Mountain Range and surged in.
And at this moment.
Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and others, had also entered the small village.
Before entering the Cangli Mountain Range, they came here specifically to listen to Senior Li’s teachings!
