Jiezhou is the most prosperous and thriving province in the Jiuzhou Continent, apart from Hanzhou.
Not only are there more powerful individuals here than in other provinces, but the people here also lead a more prosperous and comfortable life than those in other provinces.
However, nowadays, this Jiezhou, which other provinces yearn for, has fallen into a huge battlefield rife with war and horror.
The Jie clan, together with the Yuangang Sect, Baizang Sect, Xiaoyao Valley, and Fire God Sect, jointly attacked the Jie Ling Gonghui and triggered the largest-scale war in the Jiuzhou Continent in nearly a hundred years.
The war almost spread throughout Jiezhou, and the Jie Ling Gonghui and the Jie clan and other forces constantly engaged in battles.
While they were determining the outcome, the suffering and hardship were naturally felt by those innocent civilians. The powerful combatants' power was astonishing, and unintentionally or intentionally, they would always cause those without cultivation to suffer greatly.
As for this war that would affect the power structure of the Jiuzhou Continent, the Jiangshi Imperial Dynasty, the dominant power of the Jiuzhou Continent, did not intervene or even interfere.
Just like this war was irrelevant to them, they merely watched calmly from Hanzhou, Cold Yang observing silently without any indication.
At first, this war was relatively evenly matched. Although the Jie clan united with the other four forces, the Jie Ling Gonghui was not an easy opponent.
But alas, the old master of the Jie clan, a world-class genius who shook the continent a hundred years ago, had unexpectedly returned and his cultivation had reached the level of Heavenly Warrior Seventh Stage.
With the indomitable authority of the Heavenly Warrior Seventh Stage, he led a million elite troops to sweep through the Jie Ling Gonghui.
Now the Jie Ling Gonghui has been retreating step by step and has been forced into its stronghold. It has opened the strongest barrier array to resist the army of the Jie clan.
But alas, the old master of the Jie clan was not a simple figure. With his unique Jie Ling techniques, even if the barrier array of the Jie Ling Gonghui was the strongest, it would be a matter of time before it was broken.
In this critical moment of life and death, the old master of the Jie Ling Gonghui did not return in time, which made the people of the Jie Ling Gonghui feel uneasy.
Facing the uncertain dangerous situation, they resolutely used special means to send the outstanding young generation of the Jie Ling Gonghui out of the Jie Ling Gonghui, hoping they could secretly leave.
At least if they survived, the Jie Ling Gonghui would have a chance to turn things around. If all these young generations died, the Jie Ling Gonghui would truly be doomed.
But alas, the Jie Ling Gonghui underestimated the Jie clan. In fact, the Jie clan had made preparations long ago. While concentrating on breaking the barrier array, they also sent people to guard various places outside the Jie Ling Gonghui.
So, just after the younger generation of the Jie Ling Gonghui left the Jie Ling Gonghui, they encountered the armies of Fire God Sect, Baizang Sect, Xiaoyao Valley, and Yuangang Sect, forcing the younger generation of the Jie Ling Gonghui into a desperate situation.
"The leader of Yuangang Sect, the leader of Fire God Sect, the leader of Baizang Sect, the leader of Xiaoyao Valley, we Jie Ling Gonghui have no grudge or enmity with you. Why are you being so aggressive?" At this moment, the vice president of the Jie Ling Gonghui, with a pale face, had bloodstains on his torn clothes, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.
And behind him was Xu Zhongyu, Gu Bo, and other outstanding young generation of the Jie Ling Gonghui, fewer than a hundred in number, but these people were all carefully selected geniuses by the Jie Ling Gonghui, so they could not have any accidents.
But alas, facing these four sect master-level figures, even this vice president of the Jie Ling Gonghui, an outstanding blue-robed Jie Ling master, was not able to withstand.
"Ha ha ha, Vice President Gao, at this point, we won't beat around the bush with you."
"We are here not to capture Chu Feng, but to destroy your Jie Ling Gonghui. Why do you ask for the reason? The reason is that we are all dissatisfied with your Jie Ling Gonghui. Just as the Jie clan offered a large sum of money, asking us to help destroy you, so we came. So, do you understand?" The Lord of the Fire God Sect laughed heartily.
At the same time, the other three also burst into laughter. Previously, they had been very wary of the Divine Spirit Council, and often had to follow their lead, but they dared not say anything. But now, they could finally do whatever they wanted without any reservations, and fight the people of the Divine Spirit Council fiercely. This naturally made them feel triumphant.
"Your Highnesses, don't waste time talking nonsense with them. Kill them quickly and bring their heads back to report to me. My clan leader will surely give you a generous reward."
Just then, a young man among the crowd spoke. This man was none other than the future leader of the Divine Clan, Jie Qingming.
"Jie Qingming, you have the guts to fight me, Xu Zhongyu, alone. Asking for help from outsiders, what kind of ability do you have?" Xu Zhongyu roared angrily.
"Humph, Xu Zhongyu, don't be so naive anymore. Let me fight you alone? Have you won over me?"
"Over the years, we have been fighting for so long, and we have never determined the winner. We both know that it is very difficult for us to defeat each other."
"Besides, this is a real war. What we the Divine Clan wants is only the victory result, and we don't need to consider these intermediate processes. Now that the four High Lords can easily kill you, I Jie Qingming really don't need to fight you alone." Jie Qingming smiled coldly and then looked at the four High Lords and said:
"Your High Lords, don't wait any longer. Don't delay any longer. If my clan leader is reasonable, he will still be able to handle it. But if my clan elder gets angry, even I will be punished."
"Ah..."
After hearing the name of the clan elder of the Divine Clan, the four High Lord-level figures all changed their expressions. These days, they had witnessed the terrifying power of that elder firsthand.
Although their own clan elder was not weak either, they were all experts at the sixth level of Heavenly Martial Arts. Compared to the seventh level of Heavenly Martial Arts of the clan elder of the Divine Clan, it was only a difference of one level of cultivation.
But this one level of difference was truly huge. The seventh level of Heavenly Martial Arts was really far beyond the sixth level of martial artists.
"Deputy Director Gao, blame it on you, the Divine Spirit Council's inability to handle people properly. Back then, you were arrogant and conceited. Now, don't blame me and others for being ruthless towards you."
The four High Lords roared loudly and launched an attack on the people of the Divine Spirit Council.
"I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing this, Deputy Director Gao roared loudly and unleashed his fifth-level Heavenly Martial Arts power, engaging in battle with the four High Lords.
While the four High Lord-level figures were fighting, the four major forces and other experts of the Divine Clan, led by Jie Qingming, directly launched an attack on Xu Zhongyu, Guo Bo and other juniors.
In this situation, the only one among the younger generation who could participate in the battle was Xu Zhongyu. He was holding that strange fan as his weapon, emitting the aura of Heavenly Martial Arts at the second level. Indeed, he had the demeanor of an extremely talented individual.
However, unfortunately, he was facing his old enemy Jie Qingming, as well as the elders from the four major forces and the senior members of the Jie clan. So, he soon lost and fell into a crisis.
