Chapter 1990: Chapter 2010: Why not give in and surrender quickly?_1
Immortal Palace.
"Report!"
Yao Xuanji raised his head, looking at the guard before him, and calmly said, "Speak!"
The guard respectfully reported: "The Star Domain Flying Boat of the Three-Saint Sect has headed west, reaching the Ghost King Tomb. The Tomb Master of the Ghost King, Lu Yunda, went to see the powerhouses of the Three-Saint Sect and was killed within the time of one incense stick burning."
"The Ghost King Tomb activated the Mountain Protection Array, closed its gates, and the Star Domain Flying Boat launched a huge cannon, shattering the Mountain Protection Array. After that, they invaded the Ghost King Tomb."
"The Ghost King Tomb was conquered, all those who resisted were slaughtered. All disciples who had at least the strength of an immortal became War Servants, following the flying boat of the Three-Saint Sect to the West."
"Based on the course of the Three-Saint Sect Flying Boat, their destination seems to be the Immortal Palace."
Yao Xuanji widened his eyes in shock, and said, "The Ghost King Tomb was defeated too?"
"Yes!"
Yao Xuanji turned his head to look at the quiet Cao Hechuan, "Grandpa Cao, what are they trying to do? They are not even sparing the Ghost King Tomb. Are they planning to conquer all the sects?"
Cao Hechuan’s face was grave, "They are preparing to fight all the way to the Immortal Palace, revealing their intentions to everyone: either surrender or face death."
Yao Xuanji looked distressed, "We won’t be able to stop them, will we?"
Cao Hechuan gave a bitter laugh and slowly shook his head.
"The palace lord has been in Closed Door Cultivation and has not emerged, clearly he has not successfully made the breakthrough to Da Luo. With the Three-Saint Sect approaching aggressively, led by the Da Luo Venerable, who can stop them!"
Yao Xuanji sighed, "So, the day they arrive is the day we flee?"
Cao Hechuan nodded and calmly advised, "We’ve done everything we could. As long as we have a clear conscience, that’s enough. Facing them in battle will only result in failure and won’t help us in any way."
Yao Xuanji gave a bitter smile, "Da Luo, it is indeed a chasm that we cannot cross."
After a moment’s silence, Cao Hechuan said softly, "Even if the Palace lord successfully breaks through to Da Luo, he might not be able to stop the people from the Three-Saint Sect. If they have come, it suggests that they intend to take Thunder Immortal Domain by storm and will not give us any further chances."
Yao Xuanji nodded, "Are there any updates about Lin Chen?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Cao Hechuan shook his head, "After he left the message at the Heavenly Demon Continent, he went to the Flower Plains in the far south of the Heavenly Demon Continent and has not been heard from since. However, I’m sure that if he knew that the Three-Saint Sect was headed for the Immortal Palace, he would rush here in advance...."
A worried expression crossed Yao Xuanji’s face, "I actually hope he doesn’t come. Now, how about the Divine Wood Palace?"
Cao Hechuan replied, "Divine Wood Palace is not on the direct route of the Three-Saint Sect. If they don’t go out of their way to attack, Divine Wood Palace should be safe."
After a few seconds, Yao Xuanji said, "Keep a close eye on their movements. If they arrive while my father is still in seclusion, we have to leave!"
"Okay!"
After Cao Hechuan left, Yao Xuanji turned his head and looked at Lin Chen’s Longevity Lamp.
Lin Chen, where have you gone?
Are you okay?
...
The Heavenly Demon Continent.
Heavenly Fox Palace.
In the grand hall, six out of the seven sects of the Round Table Meeting had arrived, only the Heavenly Wolf Palace was yet to come.
Su Quan was sitting in her position, her expression composed, similar to the other sect leaders. They were conversing with each other in low voices, looking noticeably anxious.
"Let’s not wait anymore!"
Su Quan lightly tapped on the table with her slender finger, drawing the attention of everyone present.
"The Three-Saint Sect crossed the Star River and made their brutal journey from the extreme East towards the West. Their clear target is the Immortal Palace. Along the way, they conquered all the sects they came across - those who surrendered were turned into servants, while those who resisted were completely wiped out. Following their Star Domain Flying Boat, there are now thousands of immortals."
"The Ghost King Tomb, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, was overtaken due to the indecisiveness of their Sect Master. Their Master was killed, the Tomb forcefully captured, causing countless deaths. All survivors became servants to join their fleet."
"Now, all the sects that are in the path of the Three-Saint Sect’s Star Domain Flying Boat either surrender where they are, or they flee at the sight of trouble. Not a single one dares to resist."
"Although this is currently happening in the Heavenly Mystery Continent, the storms stirred by the Three-Saint Sect are mighty. After they occupy the Heavenly Mystery Continent, other continents would undoubtedly suffer too. Even disregarding their Star Domain Flying Boat and the Da Luo Venerable, merely the servant-army they’ve collected is more than enough to flatten the entire Thunderbolt Immortal Realm."
"Our Heavenly Demon Continent has always been independent, but looking at the current situation, I fear we won’t be able to maintain this independence much longer. What are your thoughts on this?"
Everyone’s faces showed signs of fear, after all, the momentum of the Three-Saint Sect was too overwhelming.
It’s like the crushing pressure of Mount Tai!
Sweeping everything away effortlessly!
Who could withstand it?
The Ghost King Tomb - one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects - was annihilated by the Three-Saint Sect just for hesitating a little bit. If they hadn’t hesitated in surrendering, they wouldn’t have been used as an example and had their home destroyed. If even the Ghost King Tomb suffered such a fate, who else could withstand this?
"Seal the Domain Gates!"
Someone proposed. "We should seal all the Domain Gates. They might give up once they realize they can’t reach us. After all, our Heavenly Demon Continent is merely one among many. If it’s too bothersome for them to reach us, they might think it’s not worth the trouble."
"This indeed could be an option!"
"If nothing else, it would at least delay their arrival. Isn’t there a saying that the Da Luo Venerable can’t linger for long in the mid-grade Immortal Realm? Maybe if we drag on for some time, they’ll just retreat. Even if the Heavenly Dao Alliance decides to deal with us later, we can just negotiate with them then."
"Agreed, I support this!"
Most people responded in favor of closing the Domain Gates, but immediately thereafter, voices of dissent sprung up.
"If we seal the Domain Gates, it’s practically the same as disrespecting the Three-Saint Sect and expressing our unwillingness to submit to them. After they arrive and realize what we’ve done, do you think they’ll spare us?"
"Aren’t the people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance already on our Heavenly Demon Continent? With them here, can we even close the Domain Gates?"
"In my opinion, doesn’t the old saying go: ’the ones who understand the current situation are wise’? It’s inevitable that the Three-Saint Sect will rule over Thunderbolt Immortal Realm. We might as well just surrender willingly and offer the Heavenly Demon Continent to the Three-Saint Sect."
"Management personnel will always be necessary. Our Heavenly Demon Continent has always been managed by the demon race. If we decide to surrender our dominion over the Heavenly Demon Continent, the management might still end up in our hands. Whilst we would have to answer to someone, we’d still be the practical administrators."
"I think it’s a good plan. Look at those who voluntarily surrendered, they’re all okay. We shouldn’t be stubborn and insist on fighting. What do we have to fight them with anyway?"
Suddenly, the entrance door of the grand hall was filled with laughter. A group of people walked into the grand hall, led by Demon Emperor Kong Ling, and Xuanyuan Feiying, walking by his side.
Kong Ling laughed loudly, "One who understands the times is a great talent. That’s quite insightful. At this point, you’re still thinking of resisting? What are you going to resist with? Besides, the Domain Gates are already in our hands, so even if you wanted to close them, it’s now impossible. Why not make it easy and just surrender?"
