Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1416 - 1413: Divine Sword Mountain Crisis!
Upon learning that Li Chen was leaving after spending just one night, Guu Qingcheng, Beihan Wu, Xia Ning’er, and Zhou Yan’er were all rather wistful.
However, they were all sensible people and could understand Li Chen’s actions.
Given the urgency of time, and needing to share his attention equally.
Guu Qingcheng, Beihan Wu, Xia Ning’er, and Zhou Yan’er all spent the night with him together.
A brief indulgence, spring’s gentle winds caressed many times!
In the middle of the night, Beihan Wu and Zhou Yan’er surrendered willingly. Guu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er continued to hold on, but they were already at their limit.
As the beat of the war drums sounded, the Nine Heavens Galaxy broke its banks and flooded thousands of miles, engulfing seven armies, striking directly at Yellow Dragon Mansion, and Guu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er were also completely overwhelmed.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly!
Just as Li Chen got up, he heard Wang Long rushing over to report that an army of Outer Realm Demons was heading straight for Divine Sword Mountain.
After delivering the news, Wang Long asked, "Pavilion Master, should we send someone to assist?"
Li Chen pondered for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "It’s too late. I’ll go alone. Just defend our home!"
Immediately, he sought Shen Mengxi and briefly repeated Wang Long’s words to her.
Originally, Li Chen planned to have Shen Mengxi stay at the Star Pavilion while he went alone to break the siege at Divine Sword Mountain.
However, Shen Mengxi was concerned about her father and the sect’s safety and insisted on going with Li Chen.
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Li Chen took her along and rushed to Divine Sword Mountain as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, Divine Sword Mountain was facing the greatest crisis of life and death since its founding.
Recently, while besieging the Wolf God at God Burying Valley, Sword God Shen Lang suffered serious injuries from the self-detonation of Tianlong, the Inner Sect Grand Elder of Greedy Wolf Hall, resulting in the loss of an arm and greatly diminished cultivation.
The disciples of Divine Sword Mountain had yet to recover from their grief when another, even worse, blow came from Greedy Wolf Canyon.
Great Elder Ximen Yijian led an army of a million allies to total defeat. This included half of Divine Sword Mountain’s elite disciples, including Goddess Shen Mengxi.
Ximen Yijian was killed, and of the tens of thousands of elite disciples, fewer than ten thousand returned, many with injuries of varying severity.
Sect Leader Shen Lang’s treasured daughter, Goddess Shen Mengxi, was captured by Holy Son Jackal from Greedy Wolf Hall, fate uncertain.
The news incited fury throughout Divine Sword Mountain.
But soon after the anger faded, they found themselves in unprecedented terror.
This time, leading an army of a hundred thousand Outer Realm Demons to besiege Divine Sword Mountain was Demon King Bobodong.
Among the thirteen Great Demons under Long Ba’s command, Bobodong’s strength certainly didn’t rank in the top three.
But when it came to wisdom, no one dared to claim the top spot if he were said to rank second.
Bobodong’s first attack target, the selection of Divine Sword Mountain, was a decision made after careful deliberation.
Firstly, Divine Sword Mountain held a significant name, second only to the Star Pavilion. Destroying it would surely deal a severe blow to the Human Clan.
Secondly, as of now, Divine Sword Mountain’s main forces were already wiped out at Greedy Wolf Canyon, making it the ideal moment to annihilate them completely.
Additionally, despite Sect Leader Shen Lang remaining in the sect, his injury and lost arm meant diminished strength, posing no significant threat to Bobodong.
Proficient in tactics and strategy, Bobodong commanded efficiently, advancing steadily without pursuing reckless gains.
In just half a day, he commanded the Outer Realm Demon Army to conquer the outer terrains of Divine Sword Mountain, pressing towards Inner Mountain.
Had Divine Sword Mountain not activated the Mountain Guardian Sword Formation in time to block the fierce assault from the Outer Realm Demons.
Divine Sword Mountain would have already faced total annihilation.
Nonetheless, it could only resist the Outer Realm Demon Army temporarily.
Divine Sword Mountain remained in jeopardy, hovering on the brink of destruction.
As the Sect Leader of Divine Sword Mountain, Sword God Shen Lang learned of the Outer Realm Demons’ massive siege at the earliest moment.
In this desperate time, he stood in the garden of the back mountain, gazing at the sea of phoenix flowers.
It was the favorite place of his Taoist couple and Shen Mengxi’s mother during her life.
The sea of phoenix flowers was also where they pledged their love.
He remembered that her favorite flower during her life was the phoenix flower.
But alas, the flower sea remains while the spirit is broken!
With his single remaining arm, Shen Lang picked a budding phoenix flower.
In the sunlight, the golden phoenix flower gleamed with resplendence, as if graced by a golden edge.
He raised the phoenix flower high, his pupil slightly squinting, with a bitter smile emerging on his lips.
"Feng’er, it’s my incompetence that failed to protect Xiaoxi. How are you doing over there, I’m afraid it won’t be long before I come to find you!"
While Shen Lang muttered to himself, a bloodied elder rushed over frantically.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, the Outer Realm Demons’ attack is overwhelming. The Mountain Guardian Sword Formation is on the verge of collapse, at any moment it could be breached, what should we do now?"
Upon hearing the subordinate’s report, Shen Lang’s expression remained calm and unruffled.
"Junior Brother Zhou Yang, lead five hundred young disciples to break through via the rear mountain’s secret path, preserve the spark of Divine Sword Mountain. As long as you survive, our Divine Sword Mountain can pass on its legacy, forever standing in the Greedy Wolf Land!"
The elder called Zhou Yang froze upon hearing Shen Lang’s words.
Suddenly realizing something, he hoarsely and desperately shouted, "Sect Leader Senior Brother... "
Before he could finish his plea, Shen Lang cut him off with a wave.
"Junior Brother Zhou Yang, my decision is made, go now, don’t let Divine Sword Mountain’s flame end, I entrust this to you!"
Moved to tears by Shen Lang’s words, Zhou Yang nodded heavily.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, rest assured. Even if it costs my life, I won’t let our Divine Sword Mountain’s flame end!"
Shen Lang smiled comfortingly and waved to him.
"Go, the future of Divine Sword Mountain is entrusted to you!"
After nodding forcefully, Zhou Yang expressed his sentiments, wishing Shen Lang well, and left swiftly with tears.
After watching Zhou Yang depart, Shen Lang cast the phoenix flower from his hand, squinting slightly as he followed the flower’s path, tracing a splendid arc in mid-air.
The final moment had arrived!
With this thought, Shen Lang lingered no longer, but rather took his resolute stance and headed to the violent front lines.
The golden sunshine poured like clear springs, casting his shadow long and far...
