Chapter 603: Ying Wuji Comes Over

And Ying Wuji's gaze fell upon Qianjue Shan, who was seated in the main seat at the front.

When Qianjue Shan saw Ying Wuji, his originally cold eyes unconsciously softened, and he said, "Ying Wuji, come over."

"Yes, Master." Ying Wuji clasped his fists in assent, and under everyone's gaze, he came to Qianjue Shan's side.

At this moment, one of the Immortal Venerables impatiently asked, "Young friend Ying Wuji, could you tell us what happened in the Boundary Abyss? Why would the heavenly pride of the demon and monster races choose to help us?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Wuji exchanged a glance with his master, then briefly told them what had occurred in the Boundary Abyss.

At the same time, he also concealed some things.

After hearing this, all the Immortal Venerables were shocked.

"No wonder your cultivation increased so rapidly in the Boundary Abyss!" Ying Tian Immortal Venerable exclaimed.

The heavenly pride of the three races, in the Boundary Abyss, trained day and night, unwilling to fall behind, each pushing the other, and in just a few short years they raised their cultivation by several major realms!

Zong Guang Immortal Venerable wondered in his heart, "You mean, it was Yuan Yao who acted as the intermediary, enabling the heavenly pride of the demon and monster races to cooperate with you?"

Ying Wuji nodded.

Zong Guang Immortal Venerable gripped his staff and asked, "What benefits did Yuan Yao promise them? Could it be that we cultivators are supposed to give them a share of resources?"

"No." Ying Wuji shook his head. "Yao Yao promised the Demon race's Crown Prince Quan Li an imperial throne."

"What… what?!" Upon hearing this, all the Immortal Venerables were dumbfounded.

"What throne?"

"The Demon Emperor's throne." Ying Wuji slowly uttered the four words.

This was like a thunderclap, leaving their heads buzzing.

Demon Emperor's throne?!

Yuan Yao actually promised them the Demon Emperor's throne—this… this sounds unreliable.

Seeing their faces full of disbelief, Ying Wuji said, "Immortal Venerables, you can rest assured. The heavenly pride of the demon and monster races are now under Yuan Yao's control; even if they harbored rebellious thoughts, they would not dare act on them. Now, the greatest goal of our Three Races Heavenly Pride Alliance is to pacify the war among the three realms."

"The conflicts on the Fourth Continent and Infinite Island have already been divided into two teams to be pacified."

Having said this, Ying Wuji turned his head to look at Qianjue Shan and said, "Master, are Xu Yanzi and Lu Xiangxiang at the Heaven-Viewing Cliff on the First Continent?"

Qianjue Shan replied, "Xu Yanzi is there, but Lu Xiangxiang's whereabouts are unknown."

"Master, who are the current Demon Emperor and Monster Emperor?"

Qianjue Shan said, "The current Demon Emperor is the former Crown Prince Quan Wu from over seven hundred years ago, and the current Monster Emperor is the Ninth Prince of the Phoenix Clan, Ru Xie Bu Xi. Their cultivation has reached the late-stage peak of the Great Perfection Realm, making them formidable foes."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides this, Buddha Venerable and Xu Yanzi have also joined their camp. That means they have at least four late-stage peak Great Perfection Realm combatants. As for whether there are others of equal strength among them, it remains unknown, because they conceal their actions deeply everywhere."

Zong Guang Immortal Venerable said with a solemn expression, "On our human side, only Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord possesses late-stage peak Great Perfection Realm combat power. In total, six people have Great Perfection Realm cultivation: Qianjue Shan, myself, Kui Qian, Ying Tian, Fang Tai, and Feng Xuan. If war truly breaks out, we may not be able to match them."

No sooner had his words fallen than a sound suddenly came from outside.

"Report!"

"The enemy has already gathered troops, seeming to intend an attack!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Immortal Venerables present changed.

Zong Guang Immortal Venerable gripped his staff, looked at Qianjue Shan, and said, "Qianjue Shan, you make the decision."

Qianjue Shan said with a cold expression, "We cannot engage in battle now."

One hot-tempered Immortal Venerable sprang to his feet, saying, "If we don't fight, are we supposed to wait for them to attack us?"

Ying Wuji said, "Master, Yao Yao had already foreseen this, so she sent me ahead here precisely to delay the battle."

"How to delay the battle?" Ying Tian Immortal Venerable asked curiously.

Ying Wuji looked at the Immortal Venerables and asked, "Is there a formation master here?"

"I am." Two Immortal Venerables with similar appearances rose.

The two are brothers, also grand masters of formations, and furthermore the president and vice-president of the Formation Alliance, named Cheng Tian and Cheng Di respectively.

Ying Wuji took out two formation diagrams and handed them to them.

"My junior sister says this is a Spiral Maze Formation and a Defensive Formation; you can set up the formations according to the method shown. If you don't understand, my junior sister also left you a recording stone."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Tian Immortal Venerable and Cheng Di Immortal Venerable were shocked in their hearts.

They indeed felt that this formation was difficult to replicate.

If left to study it themselves, they feared it would take several days or even longer.

However, if someone personally guided them, they believed it could be done in a shorter time.

Qianjue Shan rose, saying, "Setting up the formation takes time; since the enemy already intends to attack, I will go meet them myself."

"Master, I'll accompany you." Ying Wuji spoke.

Qianjue Shan gave him a faint glance, "You still have injuries; stay behind."

Ying Wuji was stunned for a moment.

His injuries were caused by the Boundary Abyss Beast Master.

Qianjue Shan looked at Zong Guang Immortal Venerable and said, "Zong Guang Immortal Venerable, guard the camp and look after the overall situation."

"Good." Zong Guang Immortal Venerable nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterward, Qianjue Shan called out the names of ten Immortal Venerables, ordering them to go out with him.

Ying Wuji watched his master's departing figure, a sense of unease rising in his heart; he wanted to chase after him, but saw Qianjue Shan turn his head and glance at him.

"Heal your wounds first."

Upon hearing this, Ying Wuji slightly clenched his fingertips.

Master's silhouette quickly vanished from his sight, and at this moment Cang Cong Huan rose, saying to Ying Wuji, "Little Wuji, come with me; I will treat your injuries."

Ying Wuji pressed his lips together, "All right."

…

At this moment, on the plain opposite Heaven-Viewing Cliff, the demon and monster armies had already assembled, appearing as a dense sea of heads.

The demon and monster armies together numbered a full three hundred thousand.

And at the center surrounded by the great army, there was an extremely luxurious palanquin, its red silk canopy fluttering in the wind, exuding an eerie air.

In the dim shadows, one could see a person's silhouette leaning and lying inside.

A strange, alluring male voice drifted out.

"Trample Tianwang Cliff, crush their flesh and bones."

The demon and monster armies' eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and they roared!

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!!"

Countless demon and monster soldiers charged toward Tianwang Cliff!

And when Qian Jueshan and the ten immortals arrived, they saw such a scene.

"Set up the formation!" Qian Jueshan said to the ten immortals, and in a flash he shot straight toward the direction of the scarlet palanquin.

He conjured a long sword in his hand and swung it!

A heaven-shaking explosive blast rang out, as if it would shatter everyone's eardrums!

The ground split open with a huge fissure!

And that red palanquin instantly turned to powder.

The person inside the palanquin had long since vanished; by the time Qian Jueshan noticed, the opponent had already turned into a mass of black demonic energy charging toward him.
