Chapter 299: Emperor Tong Yin: We can only wait and see in the future!
In the depths of the floating landmass.
The current head of the Mirage Shadow Sect, Su Liao, had a grim expression on his face. His bloodshot eyes stared intensely at the more than twenty high-level elders in front of him, questioning them with a mix of shock and anger.
"The enemy that attacked us is from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace? How did they manage to find their way here? What happened to our peripheral defense forces? Were they all wiped out by them? Why didn't we receive any prior warning?"
Silence filled the area below as the head of the sect's series of questions went unanswered. The elders all had a defeated look on their faces, keeping their heads low and remaining silent.
As a secretive organization, the Mirage Shadow Sect's high-level members generally acted with caution and low-profile. Moreover, their main stronghold was not fixed and would be relocated every three thousand years or so.
Compared to other sects that had their main halls unchanged for millions of years, the Mirage Shadow Sect's practices were truly unique.
Furthermore, their defense system, both inside and outside their main stronghold, was also quite sophisticated. It was extremely difficult to infiltrate their stronghold without alerting them.
However, this time, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace dispatched three Emperor-level experts, providing absolute strength as a backing. Coupled with their unexpected attack, no warning mechanism would have been effective.
The deputy head, Ouyang Tie, coughed softly and whispered, "Head, it's meaningless to investigate these matters now. Our priority should be finding a way to appease the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and then deal with the current crisis."
An unprecedentedly powerful enemy had already arrived at their doorstep, and judging from the other party's posture, there was no possibility of a peaceful resolution. If they wanted to preserve the Mirage Shadow Sect's millennia-old foundation, they would have to make significant sacrifices.
Su Liao's lips moved, and after weighing the situation for a few moments, he sighed, "Then you go represent the sect and talk to them. As long as we don't destroy the Mirage Shadow Sect's millennia-old foundation, everything else can be negotiated."
With the Mirage Shadow Sect's limited strength, there was no other choice but to bow their heads. It was useless to resist, as evidenced by the recent downfall of the Bright Moon Sword Sect and the Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate. They should understand the determination of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
In the depths of the void, inside the floating airship, Emperor Xin Yu and her companions quickly received the message sent by the Mirage Shadow Sect.
"They're already thinking of surrendering?"
Emperor Tong Yin sneered, "What are they talking about, offering a huge sum of money as compensation and apology? And saying they won't take any more intelligence operations against Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace? Do they think we're all children?"
Emperor Jing Lan dismissed it, "They're avoiding the main issue and being complacent. I can't see any sincerity from these guys! Let's not waste time with useless talk and settle this quickly! We need to finish them off and move on to the next target!"
Emperor Xin Yu nodded lightly, "Alright, sisters, let's join forces and completely destroy this disgusting organization."
In mid-air, countless thunderbolts filled with a destructive aura descended, converging into a raging sea of thunder that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. It tore through the protective array of the sect and leveled the city hidden deep within the floating land.
The founding ancestor of Mirage Shadow Sect, the Quasi-Saint Emperor, had long since passed away. Although there were many Great Principal Golden Immortals in the sect, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had more Great Principle-level elders, not to mention the three emperors joining forces. They easily overwhelmed them without any pressure.
Escape was wishful thinking. With the surrounding void completely sealed, even Divine Abilities and secret techniques at the level of Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch would find it difficult to silently break through the void and flee. Once discovered, they would immediately face attacks from multiple Great Principal Golden Immortals.
The resistance lasted only for over half an hour. With the deaths of the head of Mirage Shadow Sect and the remaining few Great Principal Golden Immortals, this organization with a history of millions of years became history, disappearing without a trace.
However, during the inventory of spoils after the battle, the elders discovered that this organization had left behind a substantial fortune. After all, they had been engaged in various shady businesses that avoided the light, not letting go of any ill-gotten gains. They became rich quickly.
The female elders didn't say much and packed up all the resources and wealth they could take away. Unexpectedly, they also discovered hundreds of thousands of female cultivator slaves imprisoned in the sect's underground palace. Their aptitude and potential were quite good, enough to be considered inner disciples. Some of them were even outstanding enough to be trained as core disciples.
If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace hadn't arrived, the fate of these female cultivator slaves could be imagined. They would have been sold as commodities and become playthings or cauldrons for certain powerful figures, meeting a miserable end.
There was nothing more to say. They were all loaded onto ships and would be distributed later by several empress emperors.
In the following dozens of days, the expeditionary force of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace continued to launch raids on the dark forces of Ling Feng Sect and Shadow Ghost Sect. Once again, they achieved victory, not only leveling their strongholds but also slaughtering all their disciples and taking away all their wealth and resources.
News spread, shaking the high-level figures of all the forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. The ruthless and decisive methods of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, a sect composed entirely of female cultivators, were beyond the expectations of certain hidden manipulators.
Moreover, the upper limit of power displayed by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace greatly subverted the inherent impression of many people. If the destruction of Bright Moon Sword Sect and Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate last time could be attributed to luck, it was hard to argue the same this time.
Even if they had external assistance, the fact that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was able to bring in such powerful help was not to be underestimated. In the future, regardless of their willingness, those forces that coveted Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have to think twice before taking action.
Within a few days, certain secret operations targeting the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were quietly canceled. The surviving dark forces returned their deposits and stated that they would not accept similar business commissions for some time to come.
As for when things can be restored, these forces did not provide a timetable. Perhaps it will never happen if the influence of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace continues to rise.
"Why not destroy the Palace of Calamitous Fate? Are we going to let them celebrate the New Year?" Qin Muling asked with some confusion and doubt on the way back.
Previously, they were concerned about the two Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Heavenly Human Race. However, now that the time for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm has passed, and the spatial gate has closed, it has become too costly for the powerful beings of the Heavenly Human Race to descend upon the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Therefore, now is the most suitable time to deal with the Palace of Calamitous Fate.
"Unfortunately, little junior brother, you are mistaken," Yu Lingzhou said with a hint of frustration in his tone. "According to the information received by the sect, the spatial gate did not close as scheduled. It has remained connected to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, even after the three-year period has passed."
Qin Muling's expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "So, the Illusory Mist Secret Realm and the Extreme Void Starry Sky will never separate again? Will individuals of the Heavenly Human Race be able to freely enter and exit this dimension in the future?"
If the Illusory Mist Secret Realm and the Extreme Void Starry Sky are no longer bound by space, communication between the two realms will become relatively convenient. This is not good news for the billions of cultivators in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"It should... be like that," Yu Lingzhou said helplessly.
"Should?"
"Yes, should."
Emperor Xin Yu said, as they had never encountered such a situation before, the empresses could not be sure what would happen next.
Qin Muling frowned and pondered.
The true intention of the Heavenly Human Race in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm has already been revealed. They are targeting the source of luck that controls the Extreme Void Starry Sky. If they succeed, the future of this dimension can be imagined.
For a vast and vast dimensional world, if the source of luck is controlled, extracted, and plundered, the consequence is the destruction of the entire world. It will no longer be suitable for any living beings to thrive and will become a desolate and abandoned universe, or even collapse into a black hole, leaving no trace in the end.
"Perhaps we need to do something," Qin Muling murmured.
"You don't need to worry about this matter," Emperor Tong Yin said softly. "It won't be long before they spontaneously organize themselves to deal with the Heavenly Human Race. This is not just our family's business."
Once the Heavenly Human Race decides to stay here and not leave, all the forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky will no longer feel safe and will have to join forces to drive them away.
"Yes, that makes sense," Qin Muling said, relieved. The overall strength of the Extreme Void Starry Sky is still not weak. Even if all nine Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Heavenly Human Race come out, they will not be able to withstand it.
"Alright, we don't need to worry about this matter for now," Yu Lingzhou eagerly grabbed Qin Muling and said, "The night is short, let's go and cultivate for a while! After returning to the sect, you won't have any free time!"
Emperor Tong Yin pursed her lips and held back the words on the tip of her tongue. Her identity is somewhat different after all, so it is not appropriate to speak out rashly. She can only wait for the future to speak.
"Okay!"
Qin Muling knew that this young elder sister wanted to explore some spiritual insights again. Since the senior sisters are not here now, it's not a big deal to give her some time. There will be time to recover later.
For safety reasons, when Qin Muling goes out, his official dao companions are not allowed to accompany him. If one of them is pregnant, it will be the hope of the next generation of the sect, and any mishap is absolutely unacceptable.
Ten days later, the female cultivator army that went on the expedition returned safely to the sect headquarters.
