Chapter 615 Just Wait
Chapter 615 Just Wait
……
Similar discussions were prevalent throughout almost the entire Eastern Continent.
From sacred sects to independent cultivators in marketplaces.
Everyone is talking about the same thing: the Tai Xuan Holy Land is doomed.
Meanwhile, inside the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
The atmosphere had become extremely oppressive.
In the main hall of the main peak, the Supreme Saint Lord Tai Xuan sat on the high seat with a gloomy expression.
Inside the main hall, the elders all looked grim.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
"How many more people have left?"
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant.
Below, an elder, his face pale, whispered.
"Reporting to the Holy Lord..."
"The number of outer sect disciples who have deserted has exceeded 30,000."
"Thirty percent of the inner disciples have also left."
"besides……"
The elder paused, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
"There are also three elders from the inner sect of the Saint Realm... who left the Holy Land last night under the pretext of going out on a mission."
boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly spread, and the entire hall trembled instantly.
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan's eyes were icy cold.
"Okay, very good."
"I am not dead yet, and the Tai Xuan Holy Land is not destroyed yet, but they are already in a hurry to find another way out."
The elders lowered their heads in silence, none of them daring to speak.
Because everyone knows it.
This time, the Tai Xuan Holy Land has truly suffered a devastating blow.
The Great Sage of Qingyun has fallen, and eight other sages have died in battle.
This is enough to severely damage the entire holy land.
What's even more frightening is that the news simply can't be suppressed.
Now the entire Eastern Continent knows that the Tai Xuan Holy Land is extremely weak.
In this situation...
Those forces that were originally attached to the Tai Xuan Holy Land naturally began to waver.
Even those inside the holy site began to feel uneasy.
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan closed his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly exhaled.
From the moment the news leaked, he realized that his senior brother, the Great Sage Qingyun, was involved.
They probably didn't die in the ruins at all, but were killed in an ambush.
Purple Cloud Holy Land, Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
These three holy sites have joined forces.
Thinking of this, a deep weariness flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Saint Master Tai Xuan.
He originally had another plan.
That is to have the ancestor appear once when his time is almost up.
Even if it's just a forced performance, it can still intimidate the outside world.
In this way, at least some time can be bought for Xiao Yan to grow.
But now, news has leaked that the ancestor's lifespan is coming to an end.
This plan has become completely meaningless.
If we wait ten years, the three holy lands will probably test the waters.
Once they confirm that the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor is truly dead, they will launch a full-scale attack on the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
The hall remained silent for a long time.
Finally, the Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan slowly spoke.
"Relay my orders."
"Effective immediately, all external businesses of the Tai Xuan Holy Land will be scaled back."
"All disciples and elders stationed abroad must return to the holy land."
"Once all disciples have withdrawn, close the mountain gate and be ready to activate the mountain protection formation at any time."
Upon hearing this, all the elders were startled.
Closing the mountain gates signifies that a holy land-level power has adopted a near-total defensive posture.
But they also understand that the Tai Xuan Holy Land has no other choice now.
"I will obey the decree of the Holy Lord!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Soon, orders were issued from the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
Countless disciples began to evacuate from the outside world.
However, it was too late.
Because at the same time that the Tai Xuan Holy Land began to shrink its power.
The other three holy lands have already made their move.
The three parties launched their attacks almost simultaneously, beginning a frenzied invasion of the Tai Xuan Holy Land's external industries and territories.
Spirit mines, markets, medicinal fields, entrances to secret realms, and merchant guild headquarters.
……
In just three days.
More than 90% of the Tai Xuan Holy Land's industries outside the area have been lost.
This speed is terrifying.
In many places, there was no resistance at all.
Because the disciples and elders stationed there had already fled in advance.
At a large spirit stone mine, the flag of the Purple Cloud Holy Land slowly rose.
An elder in purple robes stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"From this day forward, this place belongs to my Purple Cloud Holy Land."
The Tai Xuan disciples who were originally stationed there looked grim, but none of them dared to resist.
Because behind the opponent stood two Dao-Slaying Kings.
Originally, they also had a Dao-Slaying King stationed here, but he ran away not long ago.
This made them completely unable to muster any will to resist.
On the other side, a powerful demon from the Myriad Demon Holy Land directly occupied an ancient medicinal garden.
A blue lion with a body as large as a mountain spoke human language.
"The Tai Xuan Holy Land cannot protect these resources."
"The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the fundamental law of the cultivation world."
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
Several sword cultivators soared through the air on their swords, their terrifying sword intent sweeping across thousands of miles.
A market town that originally belonged to the Tai Xuan Holy Land was completely taken over that very day.
Throughout the entire Eastern Continent, countless forces were horrified.
Because everyone knows that the three holy lands are dividing up the Tai Xuan Holy Land!
However, the Tai Xuan Holy Land... was almost powerless to fight back.
In just a few days, the once mighty behemoth that once dominated the Eastern Continent was compressed into only the core area where the Holy Land's mountain gate was located.
Even so, no one dared to actually attack the gates of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
Because everyone is wary of that quasi-emperor.
Tai Xuan Ancestor was a true figure standing at the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent.
He was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm and even participated in the previous generation's struggle for the Emperor's Path!
Even if one's lifespan is nearing its end, even if one's vital energy and blood are declining.
But as long as he is alive, as long as he can still activate the Supreme Emperor Weapon.
That would still possess the power to destroy the world.
No force is willing to withstand the frenzied counterattack of a near-Emperor at the peak of his power before his death.
Even though each of the three holy lands has a quasi-emperor ancestor and an ultimate imperial weapon, they dare not launch a direct attack on the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
After all, they took over the Tai Xuan Holy Land for resources, not to fight to the death.
If a battle at the quasi-emperor level were to break out, even if they won, they would still suffer a huge loss.
It should be understood that for the various holy lands, the existence of a quasi-emperor ancestor is equivalent to a nuclear weapon.
The role of such strategic weapons is more about deterrence than offense.
If anything were to happen to their ancestor, it would be a catastrophic disaster for their sacred land.
Therefore, although the three holy lands have been constantly encroaching on the peripheral industries of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, they have never truly stepped into the core territory of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
They were afraid of angering that Quasi-Emperor from the Tai Xuan Holy Land, which would force him to bring out the Supreme Emperor Weapon and randomly annihilate one of their Holy Lands.
They need to wait until that ancestor has completely passed away.
That will be the day of the final assault.
