Having lost the Demonic Guiding Lantern and the Yinba Heavenly Cycle Formation, the Ghastly Drake Sect was utterly defeated!
Although there were not many people left in the alliance army, it was the beginning of the war and everyone fought bravely.
Without a leader, many of the Ghastly Drake Sect's people were defeated and scattered.
Ling Xiao and the others charged in and attacked with the Ice Palace Sword and Golden Dragon Spear, completely destroying the Ghastly Drake Sect's spatial base.
Most of the Ghastly Drake Sect's people fled, but most of them were killed.
The Ghastly Drake Sect was completely wiped out from the stronghold!
The Ghastly Drake Sect became desolate. Corpses were strewn all over the place and blood flowed like a red river.
"Haha, the damned Ghastly Drake Sect is finally annihilated. I have avenged the sons of the Yi Family!" Yi Chengrong laughed with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Many of the Yi Family's elites had been captured by the Ghastly Drake Sect and refined into yinba and corpse demons. Their bodies were even tortured after death. The accumulated hatred was naturally indescribable.
"That's right, the Ghastly Drake Sect is finally on their way. The sons of the Huang Family can rest in peace in the underworld!" Huang Mantang could not help but exclaim with tears in his eyes.
"Big Brother, you were captured by the Ghastly Drake Sect back then. Today, I have avenged you. Rest in peace!"
"Little Sister, you have been avenged. Big Brother's wish has been fulfilled. Next year, I will go to the Heaven Region and do what you could not do before!"
… …
The Holy Emperor cried and shouted. Their loved ones had all been harmed by the Ghastly Drake Sect. Now that they had avenged, they could not help but cry out the pain in their hearts.
"Sigh, I wonder how many people the Ghastly Drake Sect has harmed!" Feng Qingyuan could not help but sigh.
Yin Xue said from the side, "They were founded more than a hundred thousand years ago. From an unknown faction to being able to compete with many major factions, they relied on their methods of refining yinba and corpse demons to incur the wrath of the heavens and the people. Today, they have been eliminated, which is a great fortune for the stronghold!"
After pausing for a moment, she looked at Ling Xiao and said with admiration, "It's all thanks to Ling Xiao that he was able to turn the tide. Otherwise, our men would have died in vain, and we wouldn't have been able to take down the Ghastly Drake Sect!"
When Ling Xiao resisted the Ghastly Drake Formation with his shield, she thought Ling Xiao would not be able to survive.
One had to know that even a high-level Saint Emperor would be heavily injured if not killed by such a terrifying attack.
However, Ling Xiao, who was only at the peak of the mid-level Saint stage, had managed to survive. Moreover, he was still able to fight his way into the Heavenly Cycle Formation. This was simply unbelievable.
"You flatter me, Martial Uncle. If you hadn't used the Sky Suppressing Drum in time, I would have died!"
Back then, he had wanted to use the Heavenly Fire to disrupt the formation so that others could destroy it. However, he had also experienced a narrow escape from death. If not for the help of the Immortal Tree in his Knowledge Sea, he would have definitely died here.
Every place in the Ghastly Drake Sect had been ransacked. Apart from the large number of special materials needed to refine yinba and corpse demons, the biggest harvest was the spatial rings in the hands of their dead people.
"Holy Master Ling, let's go. The Ghastly Drake Sect has been destroyed. Let's go back and celebrate for three days and three nights!" Yi Chengrong came to Ling Xiao's side and said happily.
Huang Mantang also echoed, "That's right. Without Holy Master Ling's help, I'm afraid we would never have been able to take revenge."
"Elder Yi, Elder Huang, there's no need to say such polite words. I also have enmity with the Ghastly Drake Sect. We just have a common goal. However, there is still a need to celebrate, just not now!"
Ling Xiao said. After pausing for a moment, he said, "I still want to reminisce with my Mistress and Martial Uncle. Elder Yi, Elder Huang, you two take your people back first!"
Yi Chengrong and Huang Mantang both wanted to rely on Ling Xiao to build a good relationship with the Myriad Sword Sect, but they also knew that this matter could not be rushed. As long as they had a good relationship with Ling Xiao, they believed that there would be a chance in the future.
Yi Chengrong and Huang Mantang left the Ghastly Drake Sect with the rest of the people.
Yin Xue glanced at Ling Xiao and asked, "I heard from Sister Qing Yuan that you guys are going to the Heaven Domain?"
"En, when the Heaven Connecting Formation opens this year, it will be time for us to go to the Heaven Domain. Does Martial Uncle want to go with us?" Ling Xiao replied.
Yin Xue shook her head and said, "If I could go to the Heaven Domain, I would have gone long ago!"
"What's wrong?
Could it be that someone is restricting you? "Ling Xiao asked in astonishment.
Yin Xue replied, "The Heaven Domain is a place where supreme experts gather. It is indeed the best place to increase one's strength, but the dangers there are definitely not something that an ordinary person can handle. The slightest carelessness can lead to eternal damnation. That's why my father made me swear that I am not allowed to leave the stronghold until I reach the strength of a high level Holy Emperor. Otherwise, I would have gone to the Heaven Domain with your master a long time ago!"
Pausing for a moment, she then said, "I know that your strength is not ordinary, but I advise you to stay in the stronghold. It won't be too late to go to the Heaven Domain once your strength increases. Besides, with your status as a Great Saint Master, you will definitely be respected by everyone in the stronghold. If you want any resources, someone will naturally give it to you."
Ling Xiao shook his head. If he truly wanted to live a carefree life, then he wouldn't have to go through so many hardships to come to the Heaven Domain from the Xuanling Continent.
He loved the hot-blooded battles and hoped to become the strongest martial artist he could be. His greatest goal was to reach the highest realm of martial arts, and the Heaven Domain was his heaven.
Furthermore, his woman, Yun Mengqi, had most likely already been taken there. Regardless of whether or not his guess was correct, he had to go there.
If he waited until he reached the High Level Holy Emperor before going to the Heaven Domain, then everything would have changed by then.
He was still used to cultivating through battles. Only by experiencing all sorts of life and death battles would he be able to grow faster. Opportunities were often found in dangerous places.
This was the way he wanted to live his life. Even if he were to die on the battlefield one day, he would die without regrets.
Yin Xue didn't try to persuade him any further. Instead, she suggested that Ling Xiao come to the Myriad Sword Sect as a guest.
Ling Xiao couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
However, before going to the Myriad Sword Sect, he had to make a trip to the Yi Family City to bid farewell to Yi Chengrong, Huang Mantang, and the others. He also had to fulfill his promise to refine pills for those who participated in the extermination of the Ghastly Python Sect.
Even though most of them died, there were still a few who survived. He still had to refine pills for them. He had to keep his word!
Yin Xue handed the Sky Suppression Drum back to Ling Xiao after she finished explaining everything to him.
"Of course, the Drum of Suppression is an ancient divine weapon. It's a pity that it's damaged, but it's enough for you to threaten all the peak experts below the Holy Emperor rank. However, it's impossible to face a Divine King. Unless you can repair its damaged parts and find the Drum of Suppression, then you'll be able to unleash its true power. Even gods and demons will tremble before it!" Yin Xue said seriously before leaving with her people.
Feng Qingyuan also temporarily followed her to the Myriad Sword Sect to wait for Ling Xiao.
Only Yurou Fei and Sha Tian stayed by Ling Xiao's side.
After this battle, Yurou Fei and Sha Tian suffered quite a lot of injuries. Ling Xiao let them recuperate in the medicine cauldron and summoned Xuan Yao.
"Huckster, hurry up and find out where the Mother Array is!" Ling Xiao said impatiently.
He sent everyone away one by one, but he stayed behind because he had other plans.
Even though the Ghastly Python Sect was destroyed, the top-notch Mother Formation had yet to appear. It was a demonic formation that specialized in absorbing life essence, so there would definitely be a large amount of Spring Liquid inside.
Xuan Yao observed the surroundings and couldn't help but sigh, "The Yin energy here is unusually dense. It's the best place to nurture corpses. No wonder the Ghastly Python Sect was built here!"
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly find the Mother Formation. If someone returns, we'll have to deal with those troublesome matters again!" Ling Xiao urged.
"Let's split up and look for any special places first. I can't find the Mother Formation in a short time. If it's not built here, then we'll have wasted our efforts!" Xuan Yao said.
"Before attacking the Ghastly Python Sect, those guys had already searched this place. They took away all the good stuff, but they didn't find the Mother Formation. I'm sure it's still intact!" Ling Xiao pulled Xuan Yao and said.
"So many Holy Emperor didn't find the Mother Formation. How can I find it? I think the Mother Formation might not be built here!" Xuan Yao spread out his hands and said.
"No way, is it going to be built elsewhere?" Ling Xiao's expression instantly turned gloomy.
"It's hard to say, but let's look first. There are some top-notch formations that even the Holy Emperor can't find. It's not surprising!" Xuan Yao replied.
Then, he began to fly slowly in the Ghastly Python Sect's territory to observe.
After flying in a big circle, he didn't find anything. Then, he reluctantly flew to a height of ten thousand meters. His hands kept forming some hand seals. Finally, he put his left and right fingers together and covered his eyes. He shouted, "Open my Heavenly Eye!"
When he moved his fingers away from his eyes, two beams of white light shot out from his eyes.
He used his Eye Technique to look down seriously. The more he looked, the more solemn his expression became. "Creation is Yin and Yang. In a place of extreme Yin, there must be something opposite. Could it be in the southeast corner?"
Then, he quickly flew in a direction.
Ling Xiao thought that Xuan Yao had found something, so he also flew in that direction.
Not long after, a stone room appeared before the two of them. The stone door of the stone room had already been smashed by someone, revealing a messy pile of junk inside.
"You don't think the Mother Formation is here, do you?" Ling Xiao said with slight disappointment.
Xuan Yao ignored Ling Xiao. Instead, he used his Heavenly Eye to observe the stone room.
"What a terrifying killing formation. Once you enter, you'll definitely die!" Xuan Yao said with an extremely solemn expression. A few drops of cold sweat quietly slid down his face.
Ling Xiao's expression was one of astonishment. Then, his green eyes began to shoot out beams of light.
"This … this is actually a small illusion restriction!"
Ling Xiao exclaimed softly. Then, he said, "I didn't expect that after cultivating the Brahma Myriad Laws, I couldn't even think of this. Damn it!"
