Chapter 281: Xue Bingxuan: You won't even call me sister!
Qin Muling still underestimated the suppressive effect of his luck.
In less than two hours of their seclusion and cultivation, multiple core formations of the Bright Moon Sword Sect's mountain protection array collapsed one after another, severely affecting the operation of the array and significantly weakening its defensive power.
However, the attack from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace did not ease up because of this. The two emperors who saw the opportunity immediately took action. With the power of the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, their full-force attack lasted less than half an hour. Amidst a series of deafening explosions, the mountain protection array of the Bright Moon Sword Sect finally collapsed completely, shocking the thousands of disciples present.
Above the sky, the thick green light curtain slowly dimmed, turning into scattered clouds and dissipating. The disciples below also scattered in panic.
"The situation is settled!"
Emperor Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the Bright Moon Sword Sect was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It couldn't hold on for long, and once the mountain protection array collapsed, the home advantage was lost, and the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
Qin Muling had the intention to go out and take a look, but his senior sisters unanimously stopped him. Regardless, his whereabouts must not be exposed, as it could lead to unforeseen consequences.
"Judging from their miserable appearance, they probably don't have much left. Of course, the vast land where the sect's main altar is located is still good. After reorganizing, it won't be a problem to meet the living and cultivation needs of millions of disciples."
Qin Muling, who was riding on his second senior sister and acting arrogantly, stopped and said. Apart from the material resources, the most valuable assets in the Extreme Void Starry Sky were the beautiful and spiritually abundant floating lands.
But for himself, with the talent of the Divine Ability to transform the environment on a large scale, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would not have any shortcomings in this regard. It would not be a problem to have as many habitable land masses as he wanted.
Of course, the countless mortals who lived and multiplied on these floating lands were also one of the most important assets of a sect's power. After all, the outstanding talents suitable for cultivation came from the mortal world. The largest demand for primary cultivation resources also required numerous imperial chambers, cities, and tribes from the mortal dynasties to provide.
Cheng Yulan, with her beautiful face blushing and her eyes misty, twisted her jade-like body and hugged her junior brother, tightly holding him with her jade arms. She gasped and said incoherently, "Junior brother, don't worry so much, focus on your cultivation."
Xue Bingxuan timely covered Qin Muling's mouth with her large snow-white hand. In the eyes of his senior sisters, the most important thing was to improve their cultivation. The external affairs were taken care of by the emperors and elders, and they didn't need to worry about them for the time being.
The pursuit outside lasted for half a day. After clearing the remaining enemies, the elders moved in and began to count the remaining assets of the Bright Moon Sword Sect, registering and enslaving all surviving disciples. They placed cruel restrictions on their souls and then sent them to remote territories to work as laborers for the rest of their lives, without any chance of liberation.
Emperor Xin Yu and Emperor Tong Yin did not stay here for long. After the situation was settled, they left some female cultivators to guard and handle the follow-up matters, while they led the main army to the headquarters of the Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate.
Among the supreme sects surrounding the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, only Jade Pearl Star Palace, Jade Drop Divine Temple, Bright Moon Sword Sect, and Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate remained. Now that the first three sects had been destroyed, only the half-dead Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate was left.
As long as this sect was destroyed, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would no longer have any decent opponents in the surrounding Immortal Domains. They could naturally incorporate these four major Immortal Domains and numerous scattered Star Domains into their territory and expand their influence, becoming one of the few superpowers in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Since its establishment, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had never effectively controlled a territory larger than two major Immortal Domains during its peak. One could imagine the significance of this expansion. Of course, this was also due to the calamity caused by the Demon Race. The major sects were too busy to pay attention to the actions of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
"...Sister Yin, don't forget your promise once the affairs in the territory are settled."
Emperor Tong Yin, with her heavenly beauty and jade-like face, smiled and said in a playful tone. She was willing to personally help Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace eliminate their archenemy not only because of the alliance agreement but also because she had a favor to ask of Qin Muling.
In other words, by helping Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now, Qin Muling would be responsible for repaying this favor in the future. As for how to repay it... those who understood, understood.
Emperor Xin Yu smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult, but we have to wait. When I recovered back then, it was only after spending thousands of years in seclusion with him in the time acceleration formation. The situation of your ancestor is even more serious. Mu Ling wants to help her, but at least we have to wait until he advances to the True Immortal stage."
Divine Maiden Sect has a Quasi-Saint Emperor who is heavily injured and in a deep sleep, apart from Emperor Tong Yin. The situation is so severe that they cannot leave the sect. Therefore, Emperor Tong Yin is considering having Qin Muling provide on-site service to help the Emperor recover as soon as possible.
However, from the perspective of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it is probably not a good idea to agree to this at the moment.
After Qin Muling goes, it is uncertain whether she can return safely. Even if Emperor Tong Yin is willing to keep her promise, once Divine Maiden Sect has two fully recovered Quasi-Saint Emperors, their influence within the alliance will inevitably increase significantly, which may not be good news for Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
In this regard, even the closest sects do not have any room for compromise.
Emperor Tong Yin snorted, "He has already reached the level of Origin Immortal cultivation. It definitely won't take thousands of years. Let him help the ancestor recover initially, as long as he can leave the sect and move freely. Then he can go back to the main hall of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace with him for further treatment. That should be fine, right?"
Emperor Xin Yu thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, we will accompany him when the time comes."
Unfortunately, Emperor Feng Ge is still in seclusion, and it is uncertain whether she will succeed this time. If she can successfully break through, it means that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will also have two Quasi-Saint Emperors to ensure their core position within the alliance is not shaken. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle in the future.
A few days later, the expeditionary force of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace arrived at the main hall of Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate.
After a brief negotiation, the battle of annihilation began.
The situation of this sect is even worse than that of Bright Moon Sword Sect. They barely held on for a few hours before their mountain protection formation collapsed amidst earth-shattering explosions.
In just a few days, the two Supreme sects were successively breached by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and the news of the extinction of their millions of years of heritage spread throughout the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Dao Court still watched coldly, while the high-level members of other Supreme sects discussed one after another, but there was nothing much to say.
The grudges between Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and these sects are well-known. Over the past tens of thousands of years, there have been countless battles between them. The current outcome is within expectations.
It is the Palace of Calamitous Fate, which always likes to meddle and stir up trouble, that strangely has no reaction this time, as if it has forgotten that it was an intimate ally of these Supreme sects not long ago.
Emperor Xin Yu did consider the possibility of the Palace of Calamitous Fate intervening and made corresponding preparations for it. The strategy of a quick battle to prevent the opponent from having time to support was based on this consideration.
Qin Muling was brought along to interfere with and confuse the heavenly secrets with his unparalleled luck, so that the high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate would not be able to predict the movements of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in advance, ensuring that they would not have a chance to disrupt the situation halfway.
Now that the dust has settled, even if the Palace of Calamitous Fate realizes it, it is too late to do anything.
Therefore, even several days later, when the expeditionary force of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace returned to the main hall of the sect without any surprises, there was still no reaction from various forces.
"What happened to the high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate? It's unlikely that they would change their attitude just because the sect leader was seriously injured, right?" Qin Muling said, instinctively realizing that something might have happened within the Palace of Calamitous Fate, but he currently has no way of knowing the reason. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely intervene.
Mu Yinghua said, "The intelligence forces of the sect have been focusing on this matter. I believe that news will come soon."
Emperor Tong Yin smiled and said, "They have already offended Genesis Star Palace severely. Now they have to be on guard against the other party's retaliation. Even if they have the intention, they are probably too busy to care about us."
Emperor Qing Huan pondered for a moment and said, "There must be a reason for this. However, if my guess is correct, this matter should be related to the Heavenly Human Race. They have been colluding with each other for a long time. Now that Genesis Star Palace has gained another Emperor, their strength has greatly increased. If they don't want to die, they can only cling tightly to the Heavenly Human Race."
Emperor Xin Yu's eyes flickered slightly, "It seems that even without evidence, we can conclude that the Palace of Calamitous Fate has betrayed the human race and the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Everyone should be punished for it?"
It is not impossible for the Palace of Calamitous Fate, a force without any integrity, to completely align with the Heavenly Human Race. In this way, even if Genesis Star Palace wants to deal with them, it won't be easy.
Qin Muling asked, "So what should we do now? Should we wait and see?"
Emperor Xin Yu nodded gently, "That would be a more prudent approach. As long as the Illusory Mist Secret Realm is still open, it will be relatively easier for the powerful members of the Heavenly Human Race to enter the Extreme Void Starry Sky. So we are not sure how many strong members of the Heavenly Human Race will come over. In case there are Quasi-Saint Emperors among them..."
Over the years, news of the nine Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Heavenly Human Race has not been a secret, and it is not advisable for Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, or even the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance, to confront them openly at the moment.
Mu Yinghua let out a sigh and said softly, "Let them live a little longer! After the Illusory Mist Secret Realm is closed, let's see what tricks the Palace of Calamitous Fate can come up with."
...
Palace of Calamitous Fate headquarters.
Inside the bronze hall, the atmosphere was heavy and filled with a sense of killing intent.
Emperor Baiyuan and Emperor Yuanxi sat at the top, their proud and cold eyes scanning the lower area.
On one side of the lower area sat many core elders of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, all of them looking dejected and silent. On the other side sat many Great Principle-level powerhouses of the Heavenly Human Race.
They had no choice but to bow their heads, as most of the Palace of Calamitous Fate's top combat power was now in the hands of the Heavenly Human Race, including the two Quasi-Saint Emperors who had recovered.
The reason was simple. The batch of rare resources provided by the Heavenly Human Race last time had been tampered with, which could help the severely injured Quasi-Saint Emperors recover, but it also meant that their souls were subtly controlled, and their lives were no longer in their own hands.
Therefore, when Emperor Baiyuan and Emperor Yuanxi summoned the core high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate and demanded their unconditional loyalty to the Heavenly Human Race, Yun Miaozhi, despite his serious injuries, immediately stood up to oppose them and attempted to gather all his forces to resist.
The subsequent events were simple. Emperor Baiyuan simply used a peculiar ink jade flute, and after a series of urgent and mysterious flute sounds, most of the high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, including the two emperors, lost their combat power and were easily controlled by the powerful members of the Heavenly Human Race, who planted extremely vicious restrictions in their souls.
However, at the critical moment, Yun Miaozhi, the master of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, made a sudden move and used an unidentified treasure, taking Mei Qingfeng and some of the uncontrolled elders to escape into the distance.
Although they were not intercepted by Emperor Baiyuan and Emperor Yuanxi, it did not change the fact that the foundation of the Palace of Calamitous Fate had already changed hands.
"...So, Qin Muling from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is very likely to be the luck child born in the new era of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the key to the revival of this era?" Emperor Baiyuan asked calmly after a long silence.
With control over the life and death of these core elders, the secret plans being implemented by the Palace of Calamitous Fate in secret, and the previously unknown intelligence network and hidden files in the sect's storeroom, none of them were secrets anymore in front of the Heavenly Human Race.
A senior elder at the lower end respectfully responded, "Indeed, this has been confirmed through various sources of information, and according to the previous master's speculation, he should have a close connection with the Genesis Star Palace, and they should also be doing their best to track down his whereabouts."
"Hehe, interesting!" Emperor Baiyuan chuckled lightly, pondering, "It seems we must capture him as soon as possible. Regardless of his background, someone with such great luck cannot be left in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. He must belong to our Heavenly Human Race!"
"The Emperor is wise," Ling Xi immediately agreed, "During the last opening of the secret realm, I had a chance encounter with Qin Muling and even gave him a talisman. Unfortunately, I didn't know his identity was so important at the time, otherwise I would have tried to keep him."
Zi Huang turned her head in surprise and glanced at her sister. Was this news that Ling Xi had kept even from her?
"Oh? Tell me in detail about the meeting at that time!" Emperor Baiyuan became interested and spoke warmly.
So, Ling Xi recounted all the details of her meeting with Qin Muling, mentioning that the talisman could be used for precise positioning to ensure the success of the abduction operation.
"We shouldn't delay, should we take action now?" Emperor Yuanxi immediately said. Although the defense force in the critical area of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace must be the strongest, it is unlikely to stop the sudden attack of two Heavenly Human Race Emperors.
Of course, if he knew that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now had three Emperors guarding it, he would definitely not consider it this way.
Emperor Baiyuan pondered, "If we directly rush in to capture him, they will definitely fight to stop us. A bloody battle is inevitable. It's better to... let him come out on his own. With our divine abilities, we can remotely activate the talisman and teleport him directly to our designated location."
"In this way, even if Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is angry and unwilling, they can't do anything to us."
After capturing Qin Muling, they would bring him back to the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Once they reached the territory of the Heavenly Human Race, even if all the Quasi-Saint Emperors in the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky joined forces, they would not be able to snatch him back.
Emperor Yuanxi nodded, "Alright, let's do as you say."
At this moment, in the Cave Mansion behind Imperial Dao Peak, Qin Muling was enjoying various delicacies cooked by Elder Yu Lingzhou. Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan, Tianjun Yue Yi, and a group of senior sisters accompanied him.
"Elder Yu's cooking skills are getting better and better," Qin Muling put down the jade bowl in his hand and said with satisfaction.
"So, why not make Elder Yu your Dao companion?" Tianjun Yue Yi teased with a smile. "In the future, she can cook for you every day, and you can take her wherever you go. Isn't that wonderful?"
Seeing Qin Muling's thoughtful expression, the senior sisters around him immediately changed their expressions. Yu Lingzhou was now a peak Great Principal Golden Immortal. If she became Qin Muling's Dao companion, the other senior sisters would probably not even get a sip of soup.
"I think Junior Brother's cultivation level is not enough at the moment. It's too early for this kind of thing. Let's wait until later," Xue Bingxuan calmly suggested, but she couldn't help feeling frustrated in her heart.
She was clearly the first one here and should be the main wife, but the sisters who came later had cultivation levels that were stronger one after another, to the point where her position was in jeopardy.
Now, these fox-like seductresses dared to flirt with Junior Brother right in front of her, and they didn't even want to call her sister. It was simply... a blatant provocation!
