Chapter 1643: Between Enemies

The three organizations deployed their people to the Ziling Sect, demanding that Scarlet Flame Monarch and Purple Lightning Marquis be handed over to them. A total of three Gods and fifteen late-stage Saints were deployed, and the group advanced aggressively as though they were going to flatten the Ziling Sect. However, they vanished completely after reaching the Ziling Sect. They weren't able to even create any sort of ruckus before disappearing. The three organizations were shocked.

They had received news that Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch had both become Gods, so they had been rather cautious in this undertaking. The Gods they deployed were no weaklings. Even so, the people they had sent had disappeared without leaving any traces behind. They came to a realization that the Ziling Sect was perhaps truly not the same anymore.

And thus, the three organizations gathered even more people and brought them all together to punish the Ziling Sect for their transgressions. The Jing Sect was one of the strongest organizations in the Western Desert. They were based at the border of the Western Desert close to the Southern Wasteland. The two provinces in the area were under their rule.

An ancestor of the Jing Sect had relied on the Jing Sect's Sword Technique to proclaim his hegemony over vast swathes of land. His sword technique originated from the Nangong Clan, so it was obvious that the relationship between the two organizations was not at all simple.

At present, the Nangong Clan and the Divine Fist Sect had each sent three representatives to the Jing Sect. The Jing Sect's current sect master, Wu You, was currently greeting the six visiting Gods at the Jing Sect's main hall.

"The Jing Sect is honored to have all of you visit. However, all of us have someone who's been captured and killed by the Ziling Sect. We must get there as soon as possible and end the grudge that has lasted for over 10,000 years," said Wu You.

"That is why we're here. This matter should not be delayed. Let's head over immediately," said an old woman from the Nangong Clan.

The old woman was Nangong Shui. She had a long scar on her face, one that Xiang Dingtian had left during the battle between them 10,000 years ago. That was a scar that she would not erase.

She used to be a sweet and gentle belle, and Xiang Dingtian was the man she had liked. However, at the time, Xiang Dingtian only had the previous reincarnation of Yu Caidie in his eyes. Nangong Shui's love turned into hatred, and she eventually incited the Nangong Clan into making a move against the Xiang Clan.

"I, Hong Quanba, Sect Master Wu You, and Granny Nangong are all people who had participated in the battle 10,000 years ago. It is truly a joyous occasion for all three of us to get together again today. If not even the three of us can flatten the Ziling Sect, it would be too embarrassing," said a bulky man equipped with two massive chains.

With a soft voice, a short, cloaked individual said, "I don't think we need to rush this. A group of people is still absent. If we do all the work while they sit back and watch the show, it would be rather pointless."

The short individual wasn't from any of the three organizations, but he was also an enemy of Xiang Dingtian. He was the God Realm expert the Jing Sect had invited to the operation.

"There is no need to keep waiting. The Di Clan is already waiting near the Ziling Sect. If they don't take part in the attack, we'll make sure to make things difficult for them as well," said Wu You with a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"The Di Clan has big ambitions. The Jing Sect should watch out for them," reminded Nangong Shui.

"We know what to do. Let's get going," said Wu You. He then gathered up the experts from his Jing Sect and set off toward the Ziling Sect with Nangong Shui and Hong Quanba's people.

...

After the attack of the three organizations, the mood within the Ziling Sect had turned solemn. Xiang Yangzhan, Purple Lightning Marquis, Scarlet Flame Monarch, and the newly advanced Gods, such as Green Ghost and Despair, were all gathered together. Excluding the Gods of the angels, these people were the strongest in the Ziling Sect.

Green Ghost had been stuck as a peak Great Saint for many years. After becoming a pseudo-God, his advancement had been rapid and smooth. He was able to easily enter the God Realm, becoming a second-stage God, the same cultivation level Scarlet Flame Monarch was at. His rapid advancement was all thanks to his years of accumulation, building himself a strong foundation.

As for Despair, he had returned from the Southern Wasteland with the bloodline inheritance of the Barbaric Dynasty. The inheritance had pushed him into first-stage God Realm. With Bing Busi and Tie Ta by his side, he fought his way back to the Tiele Clan and killed their king.

All that had happened half a year ago. The incident had alarmed a lot of Southern Wasteland organizations. After that feat, the right thing for Despair to do was to stay with the Tiele Clan and take over the throne.

However, he did not do so. After leaving some words behind, he returned to the Ziling Sect. He had to personally thank Xiang Shaoyun. Without Xiang Shaoyun, he wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly. Now that trouble had come knocking for the Ziling Sect, he naturally couldn't abandon them. He was an individual who greatly valued loyalty.

"After hiding for 10,000 years, we have ultimately exposed ourselves. Well, looks like it's going to get real noisy soon," said Scarlet Flame Monarch.

"So what? I'm already tired of waiting around. If they dare to come, I'll make sure none of them leave alive," said Purple Lightning Marquis with thick killing intent.

"Boss, your strength is already no weaker than Overlord during his previous life. However, you know how deep these people's accumulation is. If they decide to go all out against us, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand them," said Scarlet Flame Monarch.

"Scarlet Flame, have you lost all your courage?" questioned Purple Lightning Marquis.

"Hehe, I'm losing my patience. I'll be happy even if I can kill only one or two of our old enemies," said Scarlet Flame Monarch with a sneer.

"I don't know about your past, but we're all Ziling Sect members here. If they dare to come, I'll make sure they pay with their lives," said Xiang Yangzhan confidently.

"The Di Clan is definitely behind this," said Green Ghost.

"As matters stand, it's pointless to look for someone to blame. We need more strength. The moment Overlord enters the Rebirth Realm, we will no longer have anything to fear," said Purple Lightning Marquis resolutely.

"In that case, let's prepare for a battle," said Scarlet Flame Monarch.

Right this moment, Tuoba Wan'er arrived at the main hall with one other individual. Someone who Tuoba Wan'er would bring to Xiang Yangzhan and the others was most definitely not an ordinary person.

"Father-in-Law, everyone, Wan'er apologizes for the intrusion. This is my grandfather, here to visit the Ziling Sect," said Tuoba Wan'er after giving Xiang Yangzhan a bow.

Everyone looked at the master of Holy Hall in astonishment. They could all sense the thick God Realm energy coursing within the hall master's veins.

"So it's the in-law. Come, come, take a seat! Xiang Yangzhan greets you," said Xiang Yangzhan warmly.

"You don't have to be so courteous. I heard that the Ziling Sect had encountered some trouble, so I'm here to see just who it is that's creating trouble for my grandson-in-law," said the hall master with a sharp look in his eyes.
