BXBX NOVEL Chapter 840: Troops at the Gates of the Immortal Sea City
The person who spoke was Jiang Chengxuan.
At his words, the crowd’s expressions subtly shifted, especially among those who recognized the identities of Jiang Chengxuan and his companions.
Their faces flickered with a nuanced complexity.
Yet, Tai Cangzi himself showed little reaction to the words of Jiang Chengxuan and Gao Baiyue.
He merely gave them a brief glance and said,
“It’s not up to some unrelated people to tell me what to do.
Yet, here you are, at a time when we are on the verge of assaulting the stronghold of the demonic path, uttering such words. Do you not realize you’re sowing seeds of distrust among us, trying to fray the bonds that unite us?
Your actions lead me to question if there’s a hidden agenda, perhaps a dark secret you share with the demonic path.
His implication was clear, accusing Jiang Chengxuan and Gao Baiyue of colluding with the demonic forces.
Though his accusation lacked convincing power, with the discerning easily seeing through it, it was undeniable that he had successfully diverted the topic.
Jiang Chengxuan and Gao Baiyue both sneered.
They were well aware of Tai Cangzi’s petty stratagems and paid them no mind.
After all, in the end, everything would depend on their own abilities and methods.
Returning to their stronghold at Qiankun Hall, some of the elders who accompanied Tai Cangzi couldn’t help but express their concern with a hint of coldness.
“Holy Son, given how directly Gao Baiyue and Jiang Chengxuan have challenged you, should we take measures against them?
Especially Jiang Chengxuan. I’ve heard he shares a brotherly bond with Zhao Tianfan.
If we don’t deal with him now, he may continue to be a thorn in your side.
Hearing this, Tai Cangzi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, he responded,
“There’s no rush. Since he’s so eager to stand up for his senior brother, let him.
Soon, he’ll have plenty of time to keep his brother company.”
At the same time.
Jiang Chengxuan and Gao Baiyue also arrived at a restaurant.
The two of them sat down and chatted about their experiences during this period of time.
After a while.
Gao Baiyue said,
“Brother Jiang, by humiliating Tai Cangzi today, I’m certain he won’t let this slide.
Especially with you, knowing your connection to Brother Zhao, his vendetta against you might even surpass his grudge against me.”
Over the years, both Gao Baiyue and Tai Cangzi had advanced their cultivation to the Seethrough stage.
Upon hearing Gao Baiyue’s words, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but smile and nod in agreement.
“Fellow Daoist Gao, I know what you’re talking about.
To be honest, I’d actually welcome it if he tried to make a move against me.
If he doesn’t do anything, that’s when I’d really start to worry.”
“Oh? What do you mean by that?”
Gao Baiyue suddenly caught on to something in Jiang Chengxuan’s words, his interest piqued.
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
“In any case, if the opportunity arises, I won’t hesitate.
If you’re willing, Brother Gao, you could join me.”
Initially, Jiang Chengxuan was just asking casually.
Yet, to his surprise, Gao Baiyue took them to heart and nodded earnestly.
“If the opportunity presents itself, I certainly won’t miss it.
A few days later.
The group set to venture towards the Immortal Sea City had assembled. Thus, the cultivators located in Blue Lane City wasted no more time. According to their affiliations, they set off towards the Immortal Sea City.
On the surface, this was a battle that was restricted to those below Dao
Integration Realm.
But in reality, everyone understood.
Once the battle reached a certain point, it was likely that the Dao Integration Saints from both the righteous and demonic paths would enter the fray.
So.
The war was fraught with many risks.
At this moment.
Within the Immortal Sea City.
Cultivators from various demonic sects and families, observing the distant fluctuations of other cultivators, wore expressions of cold ruthlessness.
To cultivators like them who were born in the demonic path, it was already very good that they did not take the initiative to attack other people’s territory.
In the end, they were getting attacked.
The Immortal Sea City, where they resided, had ironically become a target for those hypocritical so-called righteous cultivators to establish their prestige.
The audacity!
“If those fools are so eager to court death, then we might as well oblige them, declared a cultivator from the Immortal Sea City, his voice chilling.
This individual, known as Demon Lord Half Face, hailed from the Sacred Skeleton Sect, bearing a grotesque visage where half his face was skeletal.
It was one of the many Seethrough cultivators in the Immortal Sea City this time.
By his side stood cultivators from Joyous Union Valley, the Bloodthirsty Sect, Ghost Hall, and Mount Nether, representing the might of the demonic path.
Notably, Divine Lord Black and White and Divine Lord The Netherworld from the Ghost Hall were present.
Divine Lord Black and White suddenly said, “In this battle, we will specifically target the cultivators from the Haoran Sect. As for the friends from Mount Nether Sect, would you handle the cultivators from Thunderclap Valley?”
An elder clad in hemp nodded slightly in agreement.
“Sure.”
The other demonic sects also made their preparations, each assigning themselves targets from the righteous path, waiting to unleash a devastating attack as soon as the opposing cultivators arrived.
Swiftly, figures and warships began to appear near the Immortal Sea City.
A powerful and terrifying aura spread across tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles around the city.
The demonic cultivators within the Immortal Sea City felt a chill in their hearts. Regardless of their prior defiance, scorn, or threats, the presence of these formidable cultivators compelled them to muster all their strength for the upcoming conflict.
Fortunately, the Immortal Sea City was protected by a Level 7 grand array. Unless a Dao Integration Saint personally intervened, breaking through this array would not be an easy feat.
“Fellow Daoist Guo, Fellow Daoist Wang, the Gods and Demons Warfront Array of the Immortal Sea City will require your utmost attention.
If we can neutralize this array early on, it will significantly benefit our actions moving forward,” suggested Hua Fenglong, a Seethrough cultivator from the Divine Shadow Gate, as he addressed the three grandmasters of array present, all of whom were Level 7 Array Master.
