Chapter 882: War of the Whole Clan

Coincidentally, Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, Qi Xiong and their group were all in Yunluo Holy Land, and soon everyone gathered in the Hall of Yunluo Holy Land.

There were also Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, Yaochi Shèngzhǔ, and three Great Saint patriarchs from Yaochi Holy Land.

"Why would the Undying Race suddenly make such a big move?"

Through the Formation Light Curtain, Bai Zu looked toward Yaochi Shèngzhǔ and asked.

There's no special reason; the Undying Race has no cause to act so madly, yet the Three Holy Lands have all mobilized—this move is truly strange.

Yaochi Shèngzhǔ shook her head in response.

Behind the gauze veil, her lovely face also revealed a rare hint of solemnity.

"For now I don't know, but I've already sent people to investigate."

It's unclear why the Undying Race would have such a movement, but no matter what, since foreign races are invading, their only choice is to fight.

"Good, no matter what, let's rush over first and talk later."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zu said in a deep voice, and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ also nodded in agreement.

But just as Bai Zu's words fell, a transmission talisman suddenly flew from the other side of the formation, and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ's expression changed sharply.

Everyone present also noticed Yaochi Shèngzhǔ's change and asked.

"What's wrong? Another change?"

It must be about the Undying Race; Yaochi Shèngzhǔ silently nodded, then spoke in a low tone.

"War of the Whole Clan."

"What."

Those four simple words stunned everyone; even among those present, aside from Qi Xiong, all were Great Emperors—arguably the elite of the entire Human Race.

Yet at this moment, they were still shocked by Yaochi Shèngzhǔ's simple four words.

We had thought the Undying Race would only send the Three Holy Lands into battle, but they actually intend to wage an All-Clan War.

The concept of a War of the Whole Clan is to mobilize every available force and fight with all the clan's might.

There is also another term for a War of the Whole Clan: Annihilation War.

Such a war is capable of causing the utter destruction of an entire race.

Silence fell; on both sides of the formation, whether Yunluo Holy Land or Yaochi Holy Land, everyone sank into silence.

The latest news from the Undying Race's side is that not only are their Three Holy Lands moving, but all of the Undying Race are rushing swiftly toward Tianhong Guan.

The Undying Race is clearly committing all its strength.

"Our earlier guess was probably wrong; the Undying Race never had any pact with other races, and from the start they have been heading for an Annihilation War."

After a long while, Shi Qingfeng spoke in a deep voice.

We had previously guessed that the Undying Race had made an agreement with other races, allowing them to temporarily divert forces to fight the Human Race.

But now it seems the Undying Race has gone all-in, targeting the Human Race; if they win we'll talk later, if they lose there's nothing more to say.

"But what could possibly drive the Undying Race to willingly launch an Annihilation War?"

"Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, stationed at Iron Prison Pass, wondered aloud, 'There's no reason at all; launching an Annihilation War is impossible.'"

Something major must have happened on the Undying Race's side—at least a matter of life and death—for them to resort to an Annihilation War.

No one could think of a reason at the moment, but just as Yunluo Shèngzhǔ finished speaking, Yun Xiantai, though looking drunk, had two cold glints flash in his eyes and said coldly.

"What's the point of saying this now? They've already made up their minds; no matter their reasons, we can only meet them in battle."

"What Brother Xiantai says is correct; this battle leaves us no alternative, and we have no retreat."

"Then let's light the Holy Fire."

Bai Zu gazed sharply at Yaochi Shèngzhǔ across the formation.

The Holy Fire is something all Three Holy Lands possess, and Dao Yi Shengdi also had it when it was built.

The purpose of the Holy Fire's existence is the Annihilation War.

Nowadays many cultivators have probably long forgotten that the Three Holy Lands still have the Holy Fire.

After all, too many people have never seen the Holy Fire in their lifetime; everything they've heard is merely legend.

Lighting the Holy Fire means that all Human Race cultivators must join the war, with no one able to stay out of it.

The Undying Race's move leaves the Human Race with no choice but to likewise marshal all its strength and fight them.

No one even remembers when the last Annihilation War broke out or what its outcome was, but none of that matters now—this time it's the Human Race's turn.

"Good."

After a few breaths of silence, Yaochi Shèngzhǔ nodded heavily and then cut off the formation.

"Yunluo."

"Martial Uncle."

After the formation was cut off, Bai Zu again looked toward Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and said.

"Settle the affairs at Iron Prison Pass and hurry back to the holy land."

"But what about the Barbarian Tribe's side…"

"We can't attend to it."

Even Yunluo Shèngzhǔ had to withdraw from Iron Prison Pass; Bai Zu interrupted her, and she nodded, saying nothing more.

Immediately afterward, Bai Zu and his two companions turned to Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, and the others.

"Brother Xiantai, Brother Yu, what about the Myriad Demon Pass side…"

"I know; just leave a few people behind."

Right now the crucial point is Tianhong Guan; as for Iron Prison Pass and Myriad Demon Pass, we can only hold them temporarily for now.

Relying on the formation's advantage, we should be able to hold out for a while.

But on the Tianhong Guan side, a slight mistake would result in the annihilation of the whole clan.

The Cloud Luo Holy Land and Dao Yi Shengdi began deploying immediately, while the Jade Pool Holy Land had already been on high alert.

More than half of the disciples, stewards, and Great Saint Elders inside the holy land had already all rushed to Tianhong Guan to hold the fort.

All the disciples knew that this time the Undying Race came with great momentum.

But they never expected that the Undying Race this time was not just coming with great momentum, but was heading for a war of extermination.

Either win or perish.

They had thought it was merely a somewhat larger battle.

Although the disciples valued it, the tension had not yet risen; inside the holy land the scene remained peaceful.

Disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land could be seen practicing Xiūliàn everywhere.

As a holy land that recruits only female disciples, the scenery of the Jade Pool Holy Land is no less than that of Dao Yi Shengdi and Cloud Luo Holy Land, and indeed even more beautiful.

After all, women—even fairy maidens—cannot escape the love of beauty.

Some disciples were still chatting about the situation at the front line Tianhong Guan.

"It is said that the senior sisters have already arrived at Tianhong Guan."

"Yes, this time the Undying Race launched a massive assault; the Shèngzhǔ has mobilized so many disciples to the front, so the scale of this battle should be great."

"What's the big deal? We've been fighting the Undying Race for days; aren't we afraid of them?"

"Senior sister, look, what is that in the sky above Zhu Feng?"

As they were speaking, one junior sister pointed at the sky above Zhu Feng, her eyes full of doubt as she spoke.

She had never seen such a sight before, and had no idea what had appeared above Zhu Feng.

Following her finger, everyone's gaze turned to the sky above Zhu Feng, their faces filled with doubt.
