Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 433 - 419 True or False
Yin Moon Sect.
One of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path.
Externally, it bordered the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Taiyi Sect; internally, it bordered the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It was indeed the demonic force that had the most frequent contact with the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao Sect had the most thorough understanding of the information regarding the Yin Moon Sect.
Within the entire Yin Moon Sect, apart from the Sect Leader Moon Shadowless, there were still fifteen Shattered Void Demon Cultivators.
Of course, among these fifteen Shattered Void Demon Cultivators, three were stationed underground, and one was in closed-door cultivation nearing death.
Only eleven were truly active.
Out of the eleven active Shattered Void Demon Cultivators, Eight Desolates and Hei Tian Demon Venerables perished, and just now, Zhan Po and Chi Hun also fell, leaving only seven available.
Including the Sect Leader, that made eight great Shattered Void.
It was precisely because of the news of the two Shattered Void Demon Cultivators being lost that the Yin Moon Sect had hastily convened a full meeting to discuss the current situation.
Of course, there was basically no deep foundation of trust between demon cultivators.
Even though there was a Demon Lord who had accomplished Integrate Dao above them, maintaining some basic balance amongst these demon cultivators, it was rare for one Shattered Void Demon Cultivator to step into another Shattered Void Demon Cultivator's territory.
For instance, the current meeting was being conducted via something akin to virtual projection technology; aside from Sect Leader Moon Shadowless who presided over the meeting, the other seven Great Elders were not present in their true form.
"Just now, Chi Hun and Zhan Po met with an accident. According to the intelligence I have, both Demon Lords responded to a call for help. The Supreme Elder Bu Zhou of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Alkaid, the ruler of the Southern Region, separately intruded into the territory of our Yin Moon Sect. It was for this reason that the two Shattered Void made their move to intercept,"
Sect Leader Moon Shadowless was recounting the events: "Based on this, it can be deduced that the two Supreme Elders are most likely done for by the hands of Bu Zhou and Alkaid."
"How preposterous! They boldly invade our Yin Moon Sect's territory and dare to murder our people here. Do they really think that all our Demon Lords are made of clay? If our Yin Moon Sect doesn't retaliate with thunderous force, how will we have any face to stand in the Northern Sea Star from now on? And what majesty will we have left to keep the foundational business of these hundred and eight states under control?"
A Shattered Void Demon Lord immediately clarified his stance.
"I know of Bu Zhou - just a Shattered Void who climbed up entirely through age and seniority. With either Chi Hun or Zhan Po's strength, even if they are not his equal, retreating fully intact while preserving their lives would not be a problem. As for Alkaid... I cannot see through this ruler of the Southern Region!"
A Shattered Void Demon Lord dressed in a green robe cautiously inferred.
"What's there to be seen through? Hasn't the truth of Eight Desolates and Hei Tian's deaths been investigated already? It was because the Heavenly Dao Sect set up a trap, leading us to fall for it. After losing two great Shattered Void Demon Lords, our Yin Moon Sect's power suffered greatly, and the Heavenly Dao Sect would naturally press on aggressively at every opportunity. The recent demise of Zhan Po and Chi Hun proves precisely that. If we do not respond with the most severe counterattack, I fear the entire sect will be broken apart and completely consumed, one by one."
Another Demon Lord then spoke.
"Rumor has it that to ascend to the leader's position, the ruler of the Southern Region, Alkaid, killed Jing Yuntian who greatly supported Zong Wenxian and defeated Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li when they joined forces. His cultivation is astonishing... From this, it is clear that our earlier speculation — that Alkaid possessed Shattered Void level combat strength during Refining Void — is most likely true. Then, it's only natural that Eight Desolates and Hei Tian, trapped in a Thirteen Level formation managed by a Shattered Void, met their end."
As the green-robed Demon Lord spoke, he glanced at Sect Leader Moon Shadowless: "I suspect that even Zhan Po and Chi Hun met their demise at his hands. After all, he has now achieved Shattered Void and boasts the accomplishment of defeating Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li's combined force..."
"Alright, Jin Ni, just listen to these things as rumors, do you truly think a Shattered Void cultivator of a hundred years has such strength? If he really reached a level comparable to that of a prospective Dao Lord in just a hundred years, then Penglai Dao Lord, the number one talent in the Northern Sea Star over tens of thousands of years, wouldn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him."
Moon Shadowless waved his hand.
"Alkaid's battle with Zhen Xuanyuan, Gu Li, and Jing Yuntian was witnessed by many, our undercover agents included..."
Jin Ni, the Demon Lord, had more to say but was interrupted by Moon Shadowless: "The Golden Book Venerable is watching over the Heavenly Dao Sect. Although we have planted undercover agents in the Heavenly Dao Sect time and again, they have mostly been exposed, and to this day, the highest placed undercover agent is only at the level of a True Disciple. For the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Sect who intend to deceive, it would be trivial to fool a True Disciple who has not even reached the Hollow Void Realm."
He scanned the crowd: "Right now, the most critical thing is to understand the intentions of the Heavenly Dao Sect..."
At this moment, a Demon Lord suddenly said, "According to the information I've obtained, just a short while ago, the entire Heavenly Dao Sect has been mobilized, under the direct orders of Zhen Xuanyuan. Despite not showing any external signs, all of their experts and resources are now under strict control; they're clearly preparing for a major event..."
"A major battle? What does Zhen Xuanyuan want to do? Does he really think we are afraid of them?"
On the Chief seat, a Demon Cultivator sneered.
He was the Chief Supreme Elder of the Yin Moon Sect who went by the name Blood Ming and was called the Blood Demon by the outside world. He was also the largest support of the Yin Moon Sect as the direct disciple of the Hei Tian Demon Venerable.
In the last several thousand years, the Yin Moon Sect had clashed with the Heavenly Dao Sect three times on a large scale, with him facing off against Zhen Xuanyuan each time. After three battles, neither emerged victorious.
But let's not forget, demon cultivators excel at preserving life rather than direct confrontation.
If Zhen Xuanyuan cannot win against Blood Ming in a direct fight, it essentially means he has lost.
If the two sides continued to grind each other down, Blood Ming would definitely be the last one standing.
"Heavenly Dao Sect shouldn't start a war with our Yin Moon Sect at this time."
At this moment, a Supreme Elder said, "According to the information we have, the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Light Divine Race had an intense conflict in the Extraterritorial Starry Sky. Zong Wenxian has withdrawn four... oh, Bu Zhou is back, he withdrew three Supreme Elders to confront the Light Divine Race. On their side, they almost came out in full force, with eight Divine Emperors on the battlefield. In such a scenario, how could the Heavenly Dao Sect dare to start a war with us?"
"In fact, I do have a piece of information that has yet to be confirmed."
The Shattered Void Demon Cultivator who spoke first said, "In the Eternal Brightness Hall of the Heavenly Dao Sect where the Life Lamps are kept, there was a disturbance. According to the news desperately gathered by my undercover agents... it seems that the Life Lamp of a Supreme Elder has gone out."
"The Heavenly Dao Sect has lost another Supreme Elder?"
This piece of information lit up many eyes with joy visible in their expressions, "Who was it? A Supreme Elder from the battlefield beyond the domain, one from deep within the Star Core, or Bu Zhou and Alkaid who invaded our Yin Moon Sect's territory?"
"I don't know yet, still investigating,"
the Demon Lord responded.
"No need for further investigation,"
Moon Shadowless said as he lifted a Jade Talisman in his hand and spoke in a grave tone, "It's Bu Zhou! The latest news came from the bordering large state, Chi Hun the Demon Lord and he perished together, both meeting their ends."
"Bu Zhou?"
"Damn it! It's bad enough that he died, but now our Yin Moon Sect has also lost a great general!"
"If that's the case, then Alkaid isn't as strong as Golden Book Venerable said, being able to battle one against two and defeat Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li? If he had such strength, Bu Zhou wouldn't have died in a two-on-two situation."
Each Demon Lord had their own judgments and thoughts.
"No wonder the Heavenly Dao Sect has mustered their forces. With Bu Zhou's death, a direct disciple of Jun Tian Dao Lord, if the Heavenly Dao Sect remains indifferent, no one can bear this responsibility. However, their main force has already been withdrawn to the battlefield beyond the domain. I determine that this movement of the Heavenly Dao Sect is certainly a show of strength despite weakness. Their intention is to bare their fangs as a deterrent to the surrounding forces to prevent any rash moves."
Blood Ming the Demon Lord said indifferently, "I determine that even if they want to seek revenge, they will wait until Zong Wenxian and the other Supreme Elders return from the battlefield beyond the domain. Otherwise, starting a war with us now, they would undoubtedly be defeated."
The other Demon Lords nodded in agreement.
"If that is indeed the case, shouldn't we take advantage of the Heavenly Dao Sect's current weakness to retake the Thirteen States of the Southern Region we lost?"
Golden Book Venerable said.
"That is not advisable,"
Moon Shadowless waved his hand, "Bu Zhou is dead, the Heavenly Dao Sect will surely send a message to Jing Hong True Monarch stationed at the Star Core! Eight out of ten chances Jing Hong True Monarch will personally seek revenge for Bu Zhou! Therefore, we must be fully vigilant and on guard in the next period!"
He said earnestly, "The Heavenly Dao Sect now is like a wounded, bleeding wolf. It might seem weak, but in reality, this is when it's most ferocious. Unless we have the power to kill it with one blow, getting close at this time... will definitely result in us getting viciously torn apart."
"Yet to miss such an opportunity would be improper."
Golden Book Venerable frowned and said.
Blood Ming the Demon Lord pondered for a moment, "I'll go to the Star Core myself. Please, brother, keep a close watch on Jing Hong True Monarch. If Jing Hong True Monarch makes a move, we will immediately switch from offense to defense. However, if this aged True Monarch chooses seclusion over coming out for his last millennium opportunity... We don't have to say anything else. Reclaiming the Thirteen States taken by the Southern Region, or even biting off another Thirteen States from them, would not be difficult. After all, it's not just the deceased Bu Zhou who invaded our Yin Moon Sect, but also Alkaid, the ruler of the Southern Region!"
As he said this, he let out a cold laugh, "They invaded our Yin Moon Sect, even killed two of our great Demon Lords. If they don't pay a price, the world will really think that our Yin Moon Sect can be easily bullied!"
"Then we'll trouble you to make the trip to the Star Core,"
Moon Shadowless nodded, "The Heavenly Dao Sect is indeed at its weakest right now, no matter how much they may bare their teeth, they cannot hide the truth of their inner frailty. The only thing we have to be wary of now is Jing Hong alone. As long as Jing Hong does not act, the Heavenly Dao Sect is ours to roam freely!"
Blood Ming the Demon Lord nodded slightly.
Unfortunately, the Gate of the Immortal Realm was rooted in the Star Core, and the flow and dispersion of its internal rules made communication between the Star Core and the outside world very difficult. Messaging items like Jade Talismans were of no use—he had to make the trip personally.
"No time to delay, I shall leave at once."
Blood Ming the Demon Lord said, his figure disappearing.
Watching Blood Ming the Demon Lord leave, Moon Shadowless also began advising and instructing the other Demon Lords to exercise caution. Concurrently, he summoned his forces, preparing to reclaim the lost Thirteen States from the Southern Region, and even to expand their territory by another thirteen states.
However, these admonishments lasted for less than a few minutes when one of the Demon Lords paused suddenly.

Then, with a cold laugh, she said, "That Alkaid really doesn't know whether to live or die. Bu Zhou is dead, has he gone mad? He has actually dared to come to my Guise Night's territory! My fellow Lords discuss amongst yourselves for now; I will return shortly."
With those words, her figure disappeared from the conference room.
