When she was in the Lower Realm, Yao Mengying had a dream. For the content, please refer back to Chapter 476—I won’t pad things here by reminiscing.
Of course, this dream and the scene currently presenting were similar, but actually had differences.
For example, back then in the dream it was Iron Bones Sect, now it was Eternal Sect. Also, in the dream it was on Star Meteor Continent, now in the Upper Realm.
The reason Yao Mengying felt it was familiar was entirely because she had implicated the sect in encountering crisis.
“I’m sorry…”
She lowered her head, tears flowing outward uncontrollably.
Especially recalling the dream scene where fellow disciples fell in pools of blood to protect her, the stabbing pain transmitted from her heart became even more intense.
“Girl.”
Hua Meigui walked over, transmitting: “Don’t let your thoughts run wild.”
Jun Changxiao placed all his attention on the Ten Great Immortal Sects powerhouses appearing one after another, while she had been keeping watch over Yao Mengying. Though she didn’t know about the nightmare, she still promptly offered care.
If Dog Leftover was compared to the head of household, then she was a competent matriarch, even handling certain matters better than the former.
Simply put: the man manages external affairs, the woman manages internal affairs—a clear division of labor.
“Master’s Wife.”
Yao Mengying choked out: “I don’t want to implicate the sect. I don’t want everyone to suffer any harm…”
She had already taken the dream she once had as real, fearing the scenes in the dream would appear.
“Some things aren’t avoided just because you don’t want them.” Hua Meigui said: “When they happen, you must face them bravely. The Sect Master and fellow disciples are all here by your side accompanying you.”
Yao Mengying looked at Jun Changxiao who showed no fear, then looked at the senior brothers and sisters who showed no terror, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, her eyes gradually becoming resolute.
In this crisis situation, the one most deeply affected was Ye Xingchen.
In his previous life, he fought alone, with no companions or friends—only a girlfriend, who ended up stabbing him in the back.
“Jun Changxiao!”
An Immortal Sect powerhouse said coldly: “As long as you hand over the demoness behind you, we’ll let your Eternal Sect off for Tonggu Zhenren’s sake!”
“Everyone listen well!”
Jun Changxiao’s gaze was cold as he said: “Anyone who enters my Eternal Sect, whether they’re heretical or demonic, whether they’re utterly evil—this seat will protect their safety!”
Though these words were somewhat extreme, they represented Dog Leftover’s firm attitude.
Hand over a disciple? Dream on!
The Ten Great Immortal Sects powerhouses’ faces became ugly.
This sect that ascended entirely from below—they’d heard of it, but completely didn’t expect it would dare openly defy the Immortal Sects’ will to protect a Demon Body possessor who could endanger all living beings!
“Tonggu Zhenren!”
The Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse said coldly: “Is this your meaning, or your disciple’s meaning?”
The meaning was obvious—are you taking responsibility for this affair?
The Ten Great Immortal Sects didn’t take Eternal Sect seriously, much less put Jun Changxiao in their eyes. But Tonggu Zhenren was after all a long-renowned top powerhouse, so for negotiations they still had to find him.
Simply put: if not for Qiye Zhenren and other powerful rogue cultivators being present, they would have attacked long ago.
As the creators of the Boundary Hall, these ten top forces—since they’d emerged into the world—absolutely had no room for discussion.
Tonggu Zhenren knew well their domineering nature, so he said calmly: “My disciple’s meaning is my meaning.”
The disciple was tough. The master was tough too!
Not being one family, they wouldn’t enter one door!
Regarding this answer, the Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse wasn’t surprised. He then looked at Qiye Zhenren and other rogue cultivators, saying: “Tonggu Zhenren’s meaning also represents your meaning?”
“Correct.”
The friends who came to help all said in unison.
Just now they were told to leave but didn’t leave, so today they must protect Yao Mengying, protect Eternal Sect.
Honestly, they were both excited and nervous. After all, since the Demon Delusional Race was exterminated, no one had dared openly clash head-on with the Ten Great Immortal Sects. If they fought now, it would definitely leave a heavy mark in the historical records.
“The Demon Ancestor back then had ambitions to dominate the Upper Realm. If not for our predecessors working together to eliminate him, the Upper Realm now would have long been filled with suffering beings. Yet today you want to protect a demoness—this truly cannot be tolerated by heaven’s principles!” the Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse angrily rebuked.
“Damn it!”
Jun Changxiao roared: “My disciple cultivates in the sect, has never harmed innocents, hasn’t done evil—what gives you the right to label her a demoness!”
“Don’t give me that crap about the future—who the hell knows about future matters!”
Dog Leftover couldn’t control his emotions, curse words coming one after another.
He was truly angry. Just because the former constitution possessor was evil, later inheritors had to be ruthlessly given the same label? Who gave you this authority to define good and evil based on feelings?
“There’s always a group of stubborn bastards in this world who, suffering from persecution delusion, force warriors who should walk toward the light to instead choose to walk toward darkness!”
“What happened one hundred thousand years ago, I Jun Changxiao don’t know!”
“But even if the Demon Ancestor was utterly evil, there must have been reasons. Maybe you sanctimonious types went too far, forcing people to arm themselves, forcing them to resist!”
If the Demon Ancestor currently recuperating heard Jun Changxiao’s words, he would definitely come forward warmly to shake hands, saying: “Old iron, you understand me!”
Tonggu Zhenren sneered: “There are rumors that warriors possessing the Innate Sacred Demon Body can glimpse the Heaven’s Mystery Realm. Certain people are probably worried about their status being insecure in the future, so they won’t allow its existence.”
“Nonsense!”
The Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse roared: “We’re doing this for the world’s living beings!”
Who was right and wrong in this matter was truly hard to conclude.
However, the problem arose from Yao Mengying’s Demon Body. She currently neither committed evil nor harmed innocents—Jun Changxiao choosing to resist was perfectly reasonable!
“Enough talk.”
Another Immortal Sect’s powerhouse said coldly: “Today, anyone protecting that demoness will be regarded as a rebel, and our Ten Great Immortal Sects have the right to eliminate them!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The hundreds of Ten Great Immortal Sects powerhouses gathered outside the mountain gate all erupted with their cultivation, and the killing intent immediately became unprecedentedly intense!
Tonggu Zhenren’s long robe rose without wind, his gaze sharp: “Since the Upper Realm was born, it has been a hundred flowers blooming. What qualifies you Ten Great Immortal Sects to establish the Boundary Hall and proudly look down on all beings as authorities?”
Many people had long wanted to say these words but never had the courage. Now that they’d torn off the facade, how could they not speak their minds!
“Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren and other rogue cultivators disregard the safety of the world, sheltering the Innate Sacred Demon Body inheritor. Today our Ten Great Immortal Sects will carry out heaven’s will!”
“Everyone, listen up!”
“Immediately eradicate Eternal Sect!”
“Yes!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The Ten Great Immortal Sects powerhouses who had already erupted their cultivation immediately gathered their true spirit power, forming dazzling palm prints that pressed toward Eternal Sect!
The power gathered by Truth-Seeking Realm and Peak Core Rotation Realm cultivators was extremely formidable, the oppressive force formed shaking space until it twisted.
Jun Changxiao’s expression changed slightly.
The current Sect Protection Grand Formation, because of Master’s arrival, had fallen into a paralyzed state. Even if normally activated, it would be extremely difficult to resist this kind of power!
Still underestimated the Ten Great Immortal Sects!
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
Just then, the Misty Seven Sages stepped in mysterious patterns, standing at different positions, instantly gathering a materialized defensive barrier in midair.
“Boom boom boom boom!”
Various powers from the Ten Great Immortal Sects bombarded it like cannonballs, but didn’t shake it.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Tonggu Zhenren and others flew out, each locking onto a Ten Great Immortal Sects’ top powerhouse.
“Just relying on you few rogue cultivators, how can you contend with us?” the Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse sneered.
“How about adding me?”
Suddenly, a voice came from outside Eternal Immortal Mountain. Qingwei Zhenren was seen crossing through space, her face flashing with disdain.
“How did she come?”
Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren looked astonished.
“Kekeke!”
Suddenly, strange laughter came from another direction: “Old Tonggu, your disciple and my disciple’s ten-year agreement haven’t fought yet. This old man won’t allow him to die here.”
“Whoosh!”
Guhong Zhenren gradually appeared in midair, a sinister smile hanging on his face.
The Ten Great Immortal Sects powerhouses furrowed their brows.
These two rogue cultivators also wanted to stand up for Eternal Sect?
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, wind-breaking sounds came from behind. Powerhouses from various races led by the Thunder Spirit Race and Ice Phoenix Race flew over at extreme speed, the scene presented nothing short of spectacular!
The Soaring Heaven Immortal Sect powerhouse smiled.
When they exterminated the Demon Delusional Race back then, all the races participated. Now that the Innate Sacred Demon Body was inherited by someone else, they must have come to help!
