Chapter 1022: Xuan Ji's Decision

Although the news of Xuan Ji leaving the Youyun Holy Land spread widely within Youzhou, it did not reach the other continents.

Therefore, upon seeing Xuan Ji, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes.

He had not paid special attention before, but only now did he notice that Xuan Ji's positioning seemed somewhat improper.

The Saint Lord's Wife of the Youyun Holy Land—why was she not standing with the Youyun Holy Lord and the others, but instead standing with Wen Tiansheng of the Beast Taming Sect?

After thinking carefully for a moment, he did not continue to dwell on it, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "So it is the Saint Lord's Wife of the Youyun Holy Land."

"I have long heard that you and Daoist Friend Luo are a divine couple, the envy of all. It is a pity I never had the chance to meet you, but seeing you now, you are indeed as ethereal as the rumors suggest."

"Daoist Friend Luo is truly blessed."

As soon as Tianlingzi spoke, all the Youzhou cultivators present revealed strange expressions.

"Daoist Friend Tianlingzi, I am no longer the Saint Lord's Wife of the Youyun Holy Land; I am now the Vice Sect Master's wife of the Beast Taming Sect," Xuan Ji said indifferently.

Hearing Xuan Ji's words, everyone present immediately perked up and pricked up their ears.

There was a story here!

Luo Ling's face twitched; the scar in his heart had been reopened, and this time, it was not just in front of the Youzhou cultivators.

It was in front of over a hundred top-tier powerhouses from the Eight Continents Outside the Realm and over a million cultivators from the eight continents!

It was foreseeable.

After today, the story of him and Wan Guiyuan would surely spread far and wide.

Thinking of this, an unprecedented, intense sense of shame surged in his heart.

His complexion turned deathly pale.

Upon hearing Xuan Ji's response, Tianlingzi subconsciously glanced at Luo Ling.

He immediately understood.

He had touched upon a sensitive topic.

But driven by intense curiosity, after hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help but ask, "As far as I know, the Beast Taming Sect does not seem to have a Vice Sect Master."

Wen Tiansheng gave a dry cough, "The Vice Sect Master of my Beast Taming Sect is named Wan Guiyuan. He was originally just a Core Disciple of our Beast Taming Sect, but in consideration of his fearlessness in the face of death during the trip to the Outer Realm Battlefield and his outstanding example set for the disciples of our Beast Taming Sect, he was specially promoted to Vice Sect Master."

Wan Guiyuan?

Hearing this name, many among those present felt it sounded familiar.

They immediately recalled it.

Among the group of geniuses from the eight continents who entered the Outer Realm Battlefield back then, the Beast Taming Sect disciple who was wrongly accused by Cao Tian was named that, right?

He didn't die?

A group of powerhouses who had participated in that operation, including Tianlingzi, all revealed looks of surprise.

Immediately after, everyone's attention shifted back.

They couldn't help but look at Luo Ling, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.

If they remembered correctly.

That Wan Guiyuan was only a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, right?

This Luo Ling, a dignified mid-stage Great Vehicle Stage cultivator and Lord of the Youyun Holy Land, had actually been cuckolded by a Nascent Soul Stage junior?

Awesome!

This news was simply explosive!

Facing those strange gazes, Luo Ling's complexion had turned from green to purple.

His whole body was trembling, as if he might explode at any moment.

Seeing this, Tianlingzi secretly thought it was bad.

After all, he had initiated this topic; if he drove Luo Ling mad and got himself involved, that would be unfortunate.

Thinking of this, he quickly restrained the smile on his face and changed the subject.

"Fairy Xuan Ji, you previously said you had objections to my strategy. I wonder what your concerns are? Please, elaborate."

Hearing this, Xuan Ji said indifferently, "The living beings in this Immortal Abandoned Land number more than a hundred billion. Slaughtering them all would be harmful to the harmony of heaven. I believe that wiping out the cultivators of this realm is enough."

"Mortals are ignorant; they do not know the vastness of the world, nor will they know of our invasion. Letting them go will not lead to any future trouble."

"There is no need to kill them all."

"I, Wen, agree with Fairy Xuan's point of view," Wen Tiansheng said after Xuan Ji finished speaking, his eyes flashing.

"Ridiculous!"

After the two finished speaking, a gloomy voice suddenly rang out, "The strength of the Boundary Wall is related to the living beings of the Immortal Abandoned Land. This point has been verified more than once."

"If we can kill all the living beings in the Immortal Abandoned Land, the power of the Boundary Wall will surely be reduced to its minimum. At that time, it might even be completely broken."

"You actually advocate letting the living beings of the Immortal Abandoned Land go!"

"Could it be that your Beast Taming Sect has some unknown collusion with the Immortal Abandoned Land?"

Wen Tiansheng frowned and looked at Luo Ling, "Luo Ling, anyone can see such a baseless accusation. Why must you pin such a big hat on my Beast Taming Sect? Such behavior is too childish. Are you not afraid of inviting the ridicule of our fellow Daoists?"

Luo Ling's expression flickered, and he snorted coldly, "In any case, the living beings in the Immortal Abandoned Land must be slaughtered."

"This point, you cannot change."

"Daoist Friend Luo is right."

Just then, Tianlingzi suddenly spoke, "If the Boundary Wall is not broken, it will remain a hidden danger. The living beings within the Immortal Abandoned Land must be exterminated."

After Tianlingzi finished speaking, the other Great Vehicle Stage cultivators spoke up one after another, all agreeing with Tianlingzi's proposal.

Seeing this, Wen Tiansheng shook his head at Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji fell silent and, in the end, did not continue to insist.

After everyone reached a consensus.

Tianlingzi's gaze swept over the crowd, "Since that is the case, let us start from this Tianhuo Domain and slaughter our way through the Immortal Abandoned Land."

After Tianlingzi's voice fell.

The Great Vehicle Stage cultivators present nodded one after another, and then each led a team of cultivators, forming one hundred and fifty-six squads.

Each squad maintained a certain distance from the others; while they appeared scattered, they were actually a single entity.

If one small squad encountered a powerful enemy, nearby squads could fully arrive in a short amount of time.

The one hundred and fifty-six squads were like a giant net, sweeping across the Tianhuo Domain.

In a mere half-day, they slaughtered every living being in the Tianhuo Domain.

The so-called first-rate powers in the Tianhuo Domain were like a grain of sand before this million-strong Outside the Realm Army, unable to form the slightest obstacle.

After slaughtering the Tianhuo Domain, the great net formed by the Outside the Realm Army simultaneously shrouded the seven territories closest to the Tianhuo Domain, including the Dark River Domain, Red Maple Domain, and Tianxue Domain.

Two days later, all living beings in these seven territories were wiped out, and they were all turned into dead lands.

……

Just like that.

With an unstoppable momentum, the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators annihilated half the regions of the Cangyan World in just one month.

Countless living beings perished.

Wherever they passed, the world was stained blood-red, and countless wails filled the air.

Zhongzhou.

Inside the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

In a conference hall.

Xuanyi looked at Nian Qinghe, "Qinghe, how are the arrangements?"

Nian Qinghe said with a solemn expression, "Within the entire Immortal Abandoned Land, all cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage that our Great Wilderness Immortal Palace can mobilize have already gathered at our designated locations."

This battle is a collision between two worlds.

Those with cultivation below the Nascent Soul Stage do not even have the qualifications to become cannon fodder in the war.

Hearing Nian Qinghe's report, Xuanyi nodded, "Since that is the case, then let us begin."

After Xuanyi's voice fell, Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Palace Master Mo Ling could not help but say, "Senior Xuanyi, should we wait a little longer?"

Xuanyi shook his head, "There is no need for that."

"Judging from the actions of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators during this period, they are clearly already on guard and will no longer give us the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"Continuing to wait will only increase casualties and make the Boundary Wall even weaker."

"We are the cultivators of this world, the final force guarding this world, and we have the responsibility to protect the living beings of this world."

"Both for the public good and for personal reasons, we cannot allow these Out-of-Boundary Cultivators to continue their slaughter."

Speaking to this point, a flash of ruthlessness crossed his face, "Even if we ultimately cannot defend this world, we must die before those mortals do."

Hearing Xuan Che's voice, which was full of determination, the people present also felt a ruthless look appear on their faces.
