Chapter 260: Target Eliminated!
Above a short mountain range in the Central Region.
Outside a somewhat elegant mountain gate.
Two Qi Refinement cultivators dressed in white robes chatted idly.
Their conversation, without exception, revolved around the recent chaos in the Central Region.
“Senior Brother, have you heard?”
“Heard what?”
“It’s about that Great Vehicle sect called the Chaotian Sect, the one expanding its territory everywhere and recruiting disciples far and wide.”
“The Chaotian Sect? You mean that Pseudo-Immortal Gate that quelled our Human Race’s great tribulation a hundred years ago?”
“That’s the one!”
Hearing this, a thick yearning and reverence surfaced in the Senior Brother’s eyes.
Toward the Chaotian Sect, every low-tier cultivator under heaven held feelings of reverence.
Because if not for the Chaotian Sect single-handedly reversing the tide of battle, driving out the Demon Race, restoring the Human Race’s rivers and mountains, and quelling the great tribulation.
These low-tier cultivators, forget cultivating, would likely not even have been able to protect their own lives.
There was even a great possibility they would have become feed for demon beasts.
“Junior Brother, do you think the Chaotian Sect will fight all the way to our mountain gate?”
“Ah?! Fight all the way here?”
“Hey, I figure there’s no chance. Our sect is remote and barren. Even if they really did come, they probably wouldn’t take us in.”
The slightly younger Junior Brother was somewhat dejected.
As though he felt extreme regret that the Chaotian Sect could not flatten their sect.
And the Senior Brother seemed much the same.
When the matter of the Chaotian Sect recruiting disciples came up, he too was quite regretful.
Eager for the Chaotian Sect’s great army to arrive right now.
After all, the Chaotian Sect’s reputation was there for all to see. Not just anyone could enter the Chaotian Sect.
For small sects and minor cultivators like them.
To join the Chaotian Sect would be a stroke of fortune that made their ancestral graves smoke.
Something ordinary cultivators would scramble to fight over.
Though they didn’t understand why the Chaotian Sect acted this way.
In the past, Great Vehicle sects like the Chaotian Sect would not even deign to glance at low-qualification minor cultivators like them.
How could they possibly give them a chance to enter the sect?
And just as the two were chatting.
In the silent mountain forest, birds suddenly startled into flight.
Letting out strange chirps, they fled in all directions.
As though some terrifying thing had appeared in the forest.
This left the two men’s faces a mixture of uncertainty and turmoil.
And just as they were about to report to the sect’s higher-ups.
Whoosh!
A sound of tearing air came.
Immediately after, one figure after another suddenly flew out from the thicket.
In an instant, they stood in the sky.
And the newcomers were赫然 a Tier-Four Puppet, equivalent to a Nascent Soul great cultivator!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
One figure after another flew out from the thicket. In the blink of an eye, they filled the void, completely sealing off this stretch of sky.
And those two Qi Refinement cultivators, watching this scene in the sky, felt their heads spin.
For a long while, they could not recover.
They truly could not imagine.
Just what kind of person could actually control so many Tier-Four Puppets?!
And the next moment, when a mechanical voice devoid of emotion emerged from the puppet in mid-air.
The two men’s faces instantly turned from fear to delight!
“We are the Chaotian Sect’s Outer Gate Expeditionary Puppets. The sect below has seven days to relocate from the Central Region, or join our sect.”
“If you choose to relocate, we will escort you to the sect to ride the teleportation formation. Please choose quickly.”
“Countdown: six days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds…”
Listening to this cold, emotionless mechanical voice, the two exchanged a glance.
Their eyes were full of fanaticism!
The Chaotian Sect!
The Chaotian Sect’s great banner had finally been planted here!
They never imagined that what they had just been yearning for had now come true!
The two immediately, without a shred of hesitation, knelt together toward the sky.
“We are willing to join your noble sect!”
……
The Chaotian Sect’s great army rushed across the vast lands of the Central Region.
Various teleportation formations, transport Dharma Artifacts, and teleportation Dharma Artifacts operated around the clock.
The Mortal Armor Hall’s Puppet Armor disciples, Outer Gate disciples, Battle Puppets, Inner Gate disciples, and even human-form servant puppets were all mobilized, racing toward the locations of the major powers.
The greater part of the sects surrendered the moment the Chaotian Sect’s great army arrived.
Even if some sect higher-ups were unwilling, the disciples beneath them would without hesitation throw themselves into the Chaotian Sect.
Not a single cultivator could refuse a sect with a Pseudo-Immortal.
Nor could a single cultivator refuse the temptation of joining the number one sect of the Prison Dragon Realm.
And those sect higher-ups unwilling to join were mostly peacefully exiled.
Though there were also a small number of stubborn resisters.
Toward such people, Lu Qingyang held no hostility, but he could not afford to drag things out.
Much less had time to explain to the other party and introduce his grand plan.
For resisters, only one road remained, and that was death…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Somewhere in the Central Region, a certain Great Vehicle sect.
Countless spells and flying swords roared and exploded in the air.
Building after building was razed to ruins.
Screams and pleas for mercy mingled together, spreading across heaven and earth.
And among these razed buildings, countless cultivators were wailing in agony.
Along with a ground full of puppet fragments and spring components.
“Chaotian Sect! You go too far!”
“If we do not join you, you would wipe out our orthodoxy!”
“How is this any different from the Demon Race back then!”
“……”
At this moment.
A Great Vehicle early-stage cultivator shattered a Tier-Eight Puppet with a single spell.
And roared at the sky full of puppets!
Joining the Chaotian Sect, he was unwilling. Leaving his homeland was even more impossible.
So the only thing before him was a fight to the death.
And the ones who had come to subjugate this sect were likewise Chaotian Sect Battle Puppets.
Facing that Mahayana Venerable’s roar, the sky full of puppets did not answer.
They only watched the other party coldly.
At the same time, their movements showed no sign of slowing.
Beam after beam of spiritual power crashed against the defensive Dharma Artifact around that Mahayana Venerable.
But all were blocked one by one.
Turning into specks of ember drifting to the ground.
Those destroyed buildings, under such density of bombardment, shattered even more thoroughly.
And seeing the battle situation turn unfavorable, unable to win after a long fight.
A group of Tier-Eight Puppets raised their heads one after another.
Revealing those cold, emotionless gazes.
“Target resistance excessive, unable to quickly eliminate. Requesting support.”
A voice devoid of emotion emerged from one puppet’s mouth.
As this voice spread.
The face of the Mahayana Venerable, still cursing in rage, instantly changed drastically.
After that puppet spoke these words, a wisp of spiritual mechanism abruptly descended from the heavens.
In an instant, it firmly locked onto this Mahayana Venerable.
Then, a powerful pressure enveloped the other party.
“Damn it!”
Sensing this abnormally dangerous spiritual mechanism, the Mahayana Venerable’s face changed greatly.
But he had no means to dodge.
Because at this moment, he was already caught in that spiritual mechanism’s firm lock.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
And the next moment, on a massive metal platform in the sky, a huge black gun muzzle slowly revealed itself…
