Chapter 3423 Three major mansions

Boat Appears.

The Immortal City is immediately on alert.

Soon, a formation rises, and at its head, a graceful woman in a cyan robe appears, her face filled with alarm.

“This is a subordinate Immortal City of the Xuantian Dao Sect. May I ask who this newcomer is?” As soon as

the words trail off

, a figure steps from the Immortal Boat and appears directly before them.

“Shen Changqing of Danfeng!”

“It’s Master Shen, Elder Lu Xuan of Shufeng. Greetings, Master Shen!”

The cyan-clad woman hurriedly greets, and the protective formation dissipates.

As an elder of the Xuantian Dao Sect, Lu Xuan is no stranger to Shen Changqing’s presence.

Furthermore,

news of Shen Changqing’s presence arrived long after the sect’s decision.

Lu

Xuan is well aware that the cultivators from the three peaks—Danfeng, Jianfeng, and Daofeng—are supporting the Thousand Demon Territory.

But what she didn’t expect was that the arrival of the troops would come almost immediately after the sect’s announcement.

According to her thinking, normally, the sect’s reinforcements would have to wait at least eight to ten days.

At this time,

Qianhen and Xia Yutang also appeared.

Upon seeing them, Lu Xuan’s lingering doubts vanished.

If Shen Changqing could be fake, then the appearance of the other two peak masters was a sure thing. It

was a little fast, yes!

But as long as the identity of the person coming was reliable, it would be fine.

With this thought,

Lu Xuan glanced at the Void Divine Ship and found she couldn’t discern any trace of this supreme treasure. The moment her eyes rested on it, she felt a chilling pressure.

In an instant,

Lu Xuan seemed to see a peerless beast, rivaling the galaxy, emerge. Its tyrannical aura trembled her heart, and she involuntarily took a step back.

Once she realized what was happening, Lu Xuan dared not even glance at the Void Divine Ship.

At the same time,

she vaguely understood why Shen Changqing had arrived so quickly.

This supreme treasure

was definitely something special.

…

Inside the main hall of the Immortal City.

The figure previously occupying the main seat had been replaced by Shen Changqing, while Qian Hen and Xia Yutang sat on his left and right, respectively.

Lu Xuan, the Lord of the Immortal City, could only take the lower seat.

There was no other way.

He was the Lord of the Immortal City, to be sure!

But after all, he was only an elder of a single peak, and in terms of status, he naturally couldn’t be compared to the Lords of the Nine Peaks.

Not only Lu Xuan, but many high-ranking cultivators within the Immortal City were also present, each with a respectful expression.

Shen Changqing glanced at the crowd, his gaze finally landing on Lu Xuan.

“Elder Lu, could you please tell me about the current situation in the Thousand Demon Territory?”

“Yes—”

Lu Xuan nodded, then spoke.

“A month ago, cultivators from the Supreme Divine Cult entered the Thousand Demon Territory. Soon after, a massive invasion ensued, with no fewer than a dozen Half-Step Immortal Emperors alone.

Upon hearing the news, the Changtian Immortal Sect and the Ancient Yuan Clan immediately intervened, but they were steadily defeated by the Supreme Divine Cult.

Currently, thirty-two prefectures across the Thousand Demon Territory have fallen, and the cultivators within those prefectures have been utterly slaughtered!”

At this point,

fear seemed to well up in Lu Xuan’s bright eyes.

Thirty-two prefectures were massacred!

Countless cultivators perished.

The thought of that bloody scene still evokes a lingering fear.

“But it’s precisely because of the Supreme Divine Cult’s actions that all forces in the Thousand Demon Territory have thrown their all into the resistance, which is why they’ve been able to hold off for so long.

Otherwise, the Thousand Demon Territory would have fallen long ago!”

Upon hearing this,

the numerous cultivators fell silent.

The slaughter of the cultivators from thirty-two prefectures had made the other cultivators foresee the consequences of their own prefectures falling, and so they fought with all their might.

Attacking doesn’t guarantee death,

but if a prefecture or territory falls, there’s no chance of survival.

Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged: “I remember that the Yuan family’s powerful ape king is an invincible ancient immortal. If he had taken action, even a dozen Half-Step Immortal Emperors wouldn’t have been able to run rampant.”

“Master Shen, you don’t know. He has been in seclusion for over a hundred thousand years, and no information has leaked.

Rumors say he’s trying to reach the Immortal Emperor realm, but we don’t know the details.

Otherwise, even with the powerful ape king’s intervention, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”

Lu Xuan said with a wry smile.

The two leading factions in the Thousand Demon Domain are the Changtian Immortal Sect and the Ancient Yuan Family.

Among them,

the Ancient Yuan Family’s great elder is recognized as the strongest.

His strength is unmatched in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

If he hadn’t been in seclusion, it would have been impossible for a dozen Half-Step Immortal Emperors to cause the Thousand Demon Domain to fall to thirty-two prefectures in less than a month.

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing’s face lit up with understanding.

“I need to understand the current situation in the Thousand Demon Territory!”

“Master Shen, look!”

Lu Xuan waved her hand, and a phantom image materialized, appearing directly in the center of the hall.

Within the image, the various prefectures were arrayed.

“The black prefectures are those that have been captured and slaughtered. The red ones indicate fierce fighting, with no clear winner yet.

As for the cyan ones, they’re unaffected by the fighting—”

Lu Xuan spoke in a gentle voice, explaining the current situation in the Thousand Demon Territory.

“Right now, the three prefectures of Yunmeng, Canglong, and Cuiyun are at the forefront of the battle. The Supreme Divine Cult has deployed a large number of cultivators, aiming to capture these three prefectures as quickly as possible. The Changtian Immortal

Sect and the Ancient Yuan Clan have also deployed significant forces to hinder the Supreme Divine Cult’s advance.

But the news we’ve received doesn’t look optimistic.”

Not long ago, Xiong Jing, the leader of the Changtian Immortal Sect, was besieged by six Half-Step Immortal Emperors. Though he fought tooth and nail to kill two, he himself was severely wounded.

“If it weren’t for the support of other powerful beings, he would have perished instantly!”

Lu Xuan’s words made Shen Changqing and the others realize firsthand how dire the situation in the Thousand Demon Territory was.

While Xiong Jing’s strength wasn’t as great as that of the Mighty Ape King, he was also among the top Immortal Emperors, and his power should not be underestimated.

If one were to rank him, Xiong Jing would almost be among the top three in the Thousand Demon Territory, or even second.

Even so,

the leader of the Changtian Immortal Sect was severely wounded and nearly died.

This alone demonstrates the severity of the current situation in the Thousand Demon Territory.

“Now that the situation is clear, there’s no need to delay, Master Qianfeng!”

Shen Changqing glanced at Qian Hen, who immediately bowed.

“Here!” “

“Jianfeng will be responsible for going to Yunmeng Mansion and suppressing the unrest. All the Supreme Divine Sect monks must be killed without a single one left alive!”

“Yes!”

Qianhen accepted the order in a deep voice.

At last.

Shen Changqing paused, then said: “Ye Yun, you will accompany Jianfeng and obey the orders of Master Qianfeng in everything!”

“Disciple obeys!”

Ye Yun clasped his fists and accepted the order.

The reason why Ye Yun was sent was because Jianfeng’s strength was a little weaker. It would be almost impossible to suppress the unrest in Yunmeng Mansion with the power of Jianfeng alone.

But Ye Yun was different. Although this disciple was only a mid-level ancient immortal on the surface, his strength could not be measured by his realm.

In addition, this disciple had the support of an ancient semi-saint behind him. If the other party took action, coupled with Jianfeng’s strength, suppressing the unrest in Yunmeng Mansion would not be a problem.

After a pause,

Shen Changqing said again.

“Daofeng will be responsible for suppressing Cuiyun Mansion!”

“Yes.”

Xia Yutang nodded.

“As for Canglong Mansion – Gu Qingyang, Ji Yang!”

“Disciple is here! “

You two will lead Danfeng’s 70,000 cultivators to Canglong Mansion to quell the unrest!”

“Disciple obeys!”

they both replied in deep voices.

Seeing this,

Qianhen’s face darkened.

What did he mean?

Jianfeng was responsible for Yunmeng Mansion, and Danfeng would have to send cultivators to support it, but Daofeng could handle the entire mansion alone. Wasn’t this a clear sign of contempt for Jianfeng?

Qianhen’s anger surged at the thought, but only for a moment.

Although Shen Changqing seemed to be looking down on Jianfeng, upon closer reflection, Qianhen felt somewhat helpless.

It seemed that Jianfeng’s strength was indeed lacking.

Daofeng

at least had Shili to manage the situation, while Jianfeng had almost no true independent warriors.

Qianhen was also aware of his own situation. While

he was indeed the master of Jianfeng, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm.

In terms of strength, even if he exhausted all his strength, he could only compete with a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, which was almost the limit.

This time, the Supreme Divine Cult mobilized over a dozen Half-Step Immortal Emperors. Yunmeng Prefecture was undoubtedly under considerable pressure.

Relying solely on Jianfeng’s strength, even with the alliance of other factions, suppressing the unrest in Yunmeng Prefecture would be difficult.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing’s request for Ye Yun’s assistance made sense.

After all, Qian Hen had some understanding of this sect leader.

Not only had he previously ascended the Immortal King Monument, his power was also formidable. Over the years, he had slain more than one Half-Step Immortal Emperor.

Strength couldn’t be measured by realm alone.

Therefore ,

even if Qian Hen had his own thoughts, he had to admit that Shen Changqing’s arrangement was the most appropriate.

Since Qian Hen remained silent, the others naturally agreed.

Soon,

the armies of the three peaks departed the Immortal City and headed directly for the front lines.

Atop the city wall,

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the direction the army departed, his expression calm.

Behind him, Lu Xuan respectfully asked, “Excuse me, Peak Master Shen, should we intervene?”

“Elder Lu, please remain in charge of the Immortal City. Don’t interfere too much in other matters. The cultivators of the three peaks will handle them.” “

Shen Changqing shook his head.

Lu Xuan was an elder of a peak, and his strength was only at the level of an ordinary ancient immortal. It wasn’t just Lu Xuan, the strength of other high-level officials in the immortal city was also limited.

Ultimately

, the purpose of this immortal city was simply to facilitate Xuantian Dao Sect’s surveillance of the Thousand Demon Territory, so naturally, there was no need to invest too much manpower.

In a war of this magnitude, ordinary ancient immortals would have no objection to taking action.

Hearing this,

Lu Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately fell silent.
