Chapter 323: Falling Moon Valley

The azure sky, no clouds could be seen.

The morning sun spilled onto the earth to its heart's content, shining on the main city of the Eight Sect Alliance.

Following a roar that echoed through the sky, ripples stirred in the firmament. A black lizard-dragon, with huge wings, stirred up a violent wind and soared into the sky from within the mountain gate of the Seven Blood Eyes.

At first, this lizard-dragon's body was only a hundred zhang, but in the next instant, in the firmament, as its body shook, it grew larger to the naked eye.

Until it grew larger and larger, surpassing a thousand zhang, revealing a huge body of more than six thousand zhang!

While shocking to behold, the spreading of its wings even gave a sense of covering the sky and blocking the sun.

A terrifying aura also spread from its body, causing the winds and clouds to change color, and storms to gradually rise.

And looking from afar, one could see that on the back of this black lizard-dragon, there existed countless buildings.

While pavilions permeated, there were also a large number of figures within.

Xu Qing was among them.

This lizard-dragon was one of Seventh Uncle's three great wings.

As for those people above, they were all disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes participating in this blood-killing mission.

Not all of them took action for the sake of friendship; there were many who were there because of the mission's generous rewards.

But this was the rule of the Seven Blood Eyes. There were advantages and disadvantages, but in troubled times, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

At this moment, standing on the highest pavilion in front of Xu Qing were two figures.

They were Seventh Uncle and the Ancestor Xue Lianzi.

The two stood facing the wind, their robes rustling in the wind. Both had sharpness in their eyes, and the rising of their killing intent turned into bursts of icy coldness.

For this attack, the two of them would personally lead the Seven Blood Eyes.

Furthermore, behind this lizard-dragon, the war fortress formed by the Sixth Peak's mountain body also slowly rose into the sky amidst the roaring of the earth.

The huge mountain peak revealed a heavy pressure, making everyone who saw it feel its divine martial power.

The disciples of the Sixth Peak within, whether out of friendship with Sixth Uncle or for profit, mostly set out.

This time, taking action together were also the Lingyun Sword Sect, the Xuanyou Sect, and the Lieyi Gate.

Four sects set out, each with their ancestors among them, and within the Eight Sect Alliance, the taboo magic treasures of the eight sects were activated simultaneously, ready to go.

Amidst the echoing of these taboo fluctuations, nine huge bronze ancient swords flew out from the Lingyun Sword Sect. The Lingyun Ancestor and his sect master were within, full of killing intent.

In the direction of the Heterodox Gate, a massive, hideous eye of mystery, fully seven or eight thousand zhang in size, manifested ferociously in the sky; that eye contained a universe within it, and one could see the figures of countless Heterodox Gate cultivators inside.

The Xuanyou Sect was even more vast, directly erecting an astonishing tombstone.

This tombstone had blood-colored talisman characters on it. As soon as it appeared, it emitted an endless sense of vicissitudes and time. Immortal Zixuan stood on the tombstone, with a large number of Xuanyou Sect disciples behind her.

After the four sects rose into the sky one after another, as the firmament rolled, the Alliance Leader's huge face covered the sky, his eyes revealing depth as he gazed into the distance.

"After verification, among the many secret points of Zhu Zhao in the Eastern Wanggu, four have been proven to be true. Therefore, today our Alliance will attack. The four sects will each go to one location to kill the cultivators of Zhu Zhao and avenge our fallen compatriots of the Alliance!"

"The Alliance's taboos are all open, descending at any moment. This Alliance will coordinate the overall situation, and it is the same."

"And this battle has been reported to the Sword-Holding Court. The Sword-Holding Court attaches great importance to this and will monitor the entire scene. If the Lord of Night Dove reappears that day, he will definitely not be able to escape the catastrophe!"

"And, the Sword-Holding Court also has a certain way to counter the light inside that box."

"Then, this battle, attack!"

Following the Alliance Leader's words, the world roared. The four sects each rushed out. Teleportation formations manifested between heaven and earth, teleporting them away separately, while simultaneously striking these four points.

The place chosen by the Seven Blood Eyes was the place where Sheng Yunzi's traces were found. Xue Lianzi used his status as a member of the Elder Senate to suppress the Lingyun Sword Sect and personally took over this location.

Although the mastermind behind Sixth Uncle's death was Zhu Zhao and its Lord, Sheng Yunzi and his father also assisted. Therefore, killing these two was something the Seven Blood Eyes were determined to do.

And Sheng Yunzi's traces were in... the Shaosi Sect.

Ever since the Shaosi Sect's dam was destroyed by the Alliance, because of a deal between the Alliance and the Taisi Immortal Gate that outsiders did not know about, the Taisi Immortal Gate did not make a big fuss about this, but acquiesced to the matter while both sides turned the big matter into a small one.

The Shaosi Sect, which sacrificed the most, could only swallow the bitter fruit and chose a new site to rebuild the sect.

But no matter what, the Shaosi Sect could be considered an external branch of the Taisi Immortal Gate. So, to appease the Shaosi Sect, the Taisi Immortal Gate relaxed the restrictions on promotion quotas.

This allowed the number of Shaosi Sect disciples who could be promoted to the Taisi Immortal Gate every year to be greatly increased.

One must know that the Taisi Immortal Gate is different from other sects. They almost never accept disciples from the outside; most are determined by fate. Like Li Shitao there, it was also a matter of fate.

So the largest source of disciples for their sect is actually the promotion quotas of the hundreds of small branch sects below, which have different distribution ratios according to the strength of different sects.

In the past, the Shaosi Sect only had four quotas per year. Now this quota has been increased to eight.

This is of great benefit to the Shaosi Sect, because countless mortals and disciples in the Eastern Wanggu who want to join the Taisi Immortal Gate will be more keen to join the Shaosi Sect to compete for this opportunity.

After all, in the Eastern Wanggu, the most powerful force besides the Sword-Holding Court, which represents the orthodoxy of the human race, is actually the Taisi Immortal Gate.

Thus, for some unknown reason, Sheng Yunzi, who had previously betrayed the sect, was secretly arranged to be in the Shaosi Sect, changed his appearance, hid his name, and joined as an ordinary disciple.

One can imagine that his mission was likely to use the Shaosi Sect to join the Taisi Immortal Gate.

At the same time, according to the intelligence of the Alliance and the Seven Blood Eyes themselves, Seventh Uncle didn't know what method he used for extra investigation, but they found that besides Sheng Yunzi, there should be many external members like Sheng Yunzi in the Shaosi Sect, and even core members, eight or nine out of ten, also existed.

As for whether Night Dove and its Lord would appear, the Seven Blood Eyes were not sure.

But this attack was to lure them out. This battle seemed to be the four sects of the Alliance each attacking one point, but in reality, it was a coordinated attack by the Alliance and the Sword-Holding Court.

It was just that the Alliance was in the light, and the Sword-Holding Court was in the dark.

Clearly, the Sword-Holding Court was very interested in that Lord of Night Dove.

Xu Qing knew all these things.

So, while his killing intent was thick and his murderous aura permeated his body, the huge lizard-dragon of the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sixth Peak fortress behind it rapidly charged into the huge teleportation formation that appeared in front.

The next moment, following the heaven-shaking brilliance of the teleportation light, this colossal lizard-dragon let out a long hiss that could shatter the firmament, and its figure appeared directly on the Luoyue Plains of Yinghuang Prefecture.

Falling Moon Plain belongs to the northeast direction of the Eastern Wanggu, considered to be between the Taisi Immortal Gate and the northern ice plains. Although the season here is cold, the spiritual energy is acceptable, and there are no less than thousands of sects of various sizes nearby.

And now, on the edge of the Falling Moon Plain ahead, there is a large canyon, named Falling Moon Valley.

The Shaosi Sect, which had moved here, was inside the canyon.

The Shaosi Sect was originally a medium-sized force. After the blow, its strength was greatly lost. Now the number of disciples is less than ten thousand. At this moment, the morning sun is thick, and most of the sect disciples are busy cultivating. Thus, the roar from the lizard-dragon and the black clouds that suddenly appeared in the sky caused a turmoil within the Shaosi Sect.

But before the Shaosi Sect disciples could react, the lizard-dragon approached fiercely. As the storm swept across the earth, the Sixth Peak mountain body floated in the sky, emitting bursts of terrifying power.

At the same time, within the Sea Corpse Clan's territory, the huge bronze ancient mirror floating on the fourteen corpse ancestor statues rotated fiercely, and the direction of the mirror surface instantly aimed at the Falling Moon Valley of the Eastern Wanggu.

In the next instant, following the roaring of the statues of the corpse ancestors, amidst the influx of huge power, on the mirror that had already been activated, the seven blood-colored eyes opened in unison.

The gaze fell into the distance, locking onto Falling Moon Valley.

In an instant, blood light rose to the sky within Falling Moon Valley.

Amidst the horror and exclamations of the entire Shaosi Sect, and under the changing expressions of its high-level officials, the permeation of this blood light caused at least more than a thousand disciples within the sect to emit black aura from their bodies.

This aura was extremely obvious in this blood light.

And the moment it was emitted, their appearances were affected. All the appearances were lifted, and one after another, amidst the changes in their expressions, they revealed their true faces.

Among them, there were quite a few who were ordinary disciples of the Shaosi Sect, but... among the Golden Core cultivators, there were actually seven or eight included. What was even more exaggerated was that the sect's Yuan Infant Great Elder also had his appearance suddenly changed, turning into a strange look.

This scene immediately caused everyone in the Shaosi Sect to change their expressions.

The sect master of the sect had an even gloomier face.

Today's matter, others were surprised, but in reality, he was not surprised.

Because his identity was closely related to the Taisi Immortal Gate, he was the most unlikely to betray. So before this, he had received a reminder from the Taisi Immortal Gate, informing him that the Shaosi Sect had been infiltrated by a large number of Zhu Zhao cultivators.

At this moment, seeing all this appear, the Shaosi Sect Master had an ugly expression and immediately issued a Dharma decree.

"All disciples, strangle the cultivators emitting black aura from their bodies. These people are all Zhu Zhao evil cultivators!"

"No need for you to take action!" Almost the moment the Shaosi Sect Master spoke, Xue Lianzi's ferocious voice echoed. With a flick of his sleeve, the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo power erupted again, sealing the four directions.

In the next instant, following Seventh Uncle's order, as the lizard-dragon roared, the Seven Blood Eyes disciples on it turned into long rainbows and rushed straight toward the Shaosi Sect.

They didn't deal with those normal Shaosi Sect disciples, only killing the cultivators whose bodies emitted black aura.

Xu Qing's eyes had long been locked onto an ordinary disciple of the Shaosi Sect below.

Under the reflection of the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo, this person's appearance changed, restoring his original look.

A handsome face, a Golden Core fluctuation on his body.

It was... Sheng Yunzi.

Sheng Yunzi's expression changed greatly. Clearly, being found by the Seven Blood Eyes in such a fast time made him extremely shocked and surprised.

But his cultivation base was different from what Xu Qing had seen before.

On Sheng Yunzi's body, the Golden Core fluctuation was obvious. The Jin Wu in his right eye now seemed to be sealed, becoming dim. At the same time, its effect was reversed, changing from absorbing his vitality to being occupied by his will, turning into his own Jin Wu eye.

The moment he saw Sheng Yunzi, there was no one else in Xu Qing's eyes.

Following Seventh Uncle's order, Xu Qing's killing intent was strong. He rushed out fiercely, straight toward the Shaosi Sect, straight toward... Sheng Yunzi.

This time, he was determined to kill this person! ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
