Terran Guardian - Chapter 4119

Chapter 4094: The Nether Spring

In the void,

a celestial ship traversed the sky,

while a golden chariot pierced the air.

Suddenly,

a figure abruptly appeared, blocking their path.

In an instant,

the celestial ship halted, and the golden chariot also paused.

The Yin You Holy Lord respectfully bowed: “You Quan, the Lord of the Yin You Holy Land, pays respects to Sect Master Shen!”

“The Yin You Holy Land?”

Shen Changqing looked at the other party, his expression indifferent.

“Our army is about to annihilate the Yin You Holy Land. Your sudden arrival here, are you perhaps here to die?”

The Yin You Holy Lord bowed respectfully and said, “This humble Daoist has come to seek a way out for the Yin You Holy Land.

If Sect Master Shen can give our Yin You Holy Land a chance, I swear that the entire Yin You Holy Land will serve Sect Master Shen with our lives, even unto death!”

Seeing the Yin You Holy Lord’s attitude, the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect on the celestial ship had various expressions.

They seemed surprised that their army hadn’t even reached the Yin You Holy Land before the enemy surrendered.

However, cultivators familiar with the situation weren’t surprised by the Yin You Holy Lord’s decision.

In this predicament, the Yin You Holy Land either fought to the death or surrendered.

But the problem was:

what right did the Yin You Holy Land have to fight the Seven Profound Dao Sect to the death?

Unless

the Taiyi Immortal Sect offered assistance, then that would be a different story.

Otherwise,

the Yin You Holy Land had no chance of victory.

At this point, surrendering was the only way out.

Shen Changqing said calmly, “How can I trust you?”

“In the battle to attack the Yaotai Holy Land, the Yin You Holy Land can be the vanguard!”

the Yin You Holy Lord said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Shen Changqing didn’t speak, he quickly added.

“Now that our Yin You Holy Land has sent messages to all sides, it is expected that forces such as the Yao Tai Holy Land will come to our aid.

At that time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

This approach can be considered a sign of our Yin You Holy Land’s sincerity!”

The words of the Yin You Holy Lord made Shen Changqing give him a deep look.

“It seems you have already made two preparations. If I disagree, the Yao Tai Holy Land and other forces will be your Yin You Holy Land’s last trump card against my sect, won’t they?”

Upon hearing this, the Yin You Holy Lord simply lowered his head and remained silent.

After looking at him for a long time, Shen Changqing finally spoke.

“Very well, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. If the Yin You Holy Land can lure other forces here and is willing to act as the vanguard,

then regardless of success or failure, I can guarantee your Yin You Holy Land’s survival.

But if you deceive me in the slightest, your Yin You Holy Land will have no chance of survival!”

“Sect Master Shen, rest assured, I will not disappoint your sect!”

The Yin You Holy Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief and then flew away.

Watching the departing figure, Zhong Yu couldn’t help but step forward, coming to the side of the golden war chariot, and whispered,

“Sect Master, is this person treacherous?”

“It doesn’t matter. If he knows what’s good for him, the Yin You Holy Land will have a glimmer of hope. If he doesn’t, then we might as well wipe them all out.”

Shen Changqing’s expression was indifferent; he didn’t care too much about the Yin You Holy Lord’s defection.

According to his original plan, his goal this time was to destroy the Yin You Holy Land.

He just didn’t expect that the other party would surrender before the battle even started.

But that’s fine too.

The Yin You Holy Land’s strength is not weak.

Back in the battle at Taiyuan Prefecture, the other side withdrew first, leaving room for reconciliation regarding their grudges with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Subduing the Yin You Holy Land would be far more useful than subduing several Six Desires Immortal Sects.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing gave them a chance.

As for whether the Yin You Holy Lord would be sensible, that was up to him.

“Pass down the order: continue to the Yin You Holy Land, everything as before!”

Shen Changqing glanced at Zhong Yu, who accepted the order and withdrew.

Then,

the golden chariot soared through the air, followed closely by the airship.

…

The Yin You Holy Land acted swiftly.

Upon receiving the request for assistance, many forces couldn’t sit still.

Everyone understood that

the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s strength was beyond the capabilities of any of them.

If they offered support, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise,

it was certain death.

If the Yin You Holy Land was destroyed, they would be next.

Even the Yaotai Holy Land was now becoming restless.

Even if a reclusive saint exists within the Holy Land, it cannot bring them peace of mind.

If the Yin You Holy Land is destroyed, the most likely next target would be their Yao Tai Holy Land.

Under these circumstances,

Qi Yuan had no choice but to act.

As for the reclusive supreme being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, in his view, the other party had not made a move except for killing the Great Saint Chen Yuan. This

indicated that such a being disdained to take action.

In this case,

things were different.

Since the other party disdained to take action, and there was no threat from the reclusive supreme being, if their forces united and withstood the pressure from the Seven Profound Dao Sect, they would have a glimmer of hope.

At least,

it was much more useful than sitting and waiting to die.

Therefore,

after understanding this, Qi Yuan dared not delay and immediately mobilized the remaining forces of the Holy Land, heading straight for the Yin You Holy Land.

When the Yao Tai Holy Land set off, other immortal forces of the same camp did the same.

Soon,

a vast army converged on the Yin You Holy Land.

In less than a few days, all these forces had arrived.

Inside the main hall,

Qi Yuan asked directly, “Fellow Daoist Youquan, what is the situation now?”

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect, in conjunction with various forces, will likely be at the city gates in three to five days at most.

They are coming with overwhelming force; we must use all our resources to fight them to the death to have any chance of survival.”

The Yin You Holy Lord looked at all sides, his expression grave.

“Otherwise, if our Yin You Holy Land is destroyed, none of you will be able to escape.”

“We understand this matter. To fight against the Seven Profound Dao Sect, our Yaotai Holy Land has also paid a heavy price, inviting three reclusive half-saints to assist us.

Although those three half-saints are rogue cultivators, their cultivation is not weak, and they should increase our chances of victory!”

Qi Yuan said.

There are indeed some reclusive half-saints in the world.

However, most of the time, these reclusive half-saints are unwilling to intervene in external conflicts.

But unwillingness to intervene does not mean inability to intervene.

Even a half-saint is not immune to temptation if a sufficient price is paid.

The Yin You Holy Lord nodded: “Many thanks to Holy Lord Qi for this. To prepare for this battle, our Yin You Holy Land has invited two reclusive half-saints to participate.

However, almost all our forces are gathered here, except for the Six Desires Immortal Sect, which remains silent. This matter is worth discussing!”

“The Six Desires Immortal Sect—”

Upon hearing this name, many cultivators present showed strange expressions, some even displaying obvious disdain.

Qi Yuan’s face was icy: “Liu Xunhuan is a coward. When the various factions in the Cloud Sea Mountains were ambushed and the five major forces were destroyed, only the Six Desires Immortal Sect fled.

In my opinion, this person has been terrified by the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

But when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. The Six Desires Immortal Sect’s actions are nothing but self-destruction.

After this battle, I will report this matter to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and the sect will punish them accordingly!”

Qi Yuan had long harbored resentment towards the Six Desires Immortal Sect.

During the initial battle, the Six Desires Immortal Sect used the excuse of

heavy losses to refrain from further action. However, due to numerous subsequent events, Qi Yuan lacked the time to settle scores with them.

But this time, with the Seven Profound Dao Sect launching a counterattack, the Six Desires Immortal Sect remained inactive, undoubtedly further enraging him.

Other cultivators nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, the Six Desires Immortal Sect’s actions are tantamount to cutting themselves off from us. We must settle scores with them after this battle!”

They shared his dissatisfaction with the Six Desires Immortal Sect.

But just then,

a cultivator’s expression suddenly changed: “Not good!”

“What happened to Sect Master Ji?”

Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

The cultivator known as Sect Master Ji now had a grim and unpleasant expression: “The Six Desires Immortal Sect attacked our sect! Liu Xunhuan betrayed us!!”

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present paled.

This news

was completely unexpected.

The Yin You Saint Lord was even more furious: “The Six Desires Immortal Sect is courting death. It would have been fine if he hadn’t made a move, but now he has the audacity to collude with the Seven Profound Dao Sect. It seems he is truly unafraid of punishment from the higher sects!”

“Fellow Daoist Youquan, this matter is urgent. I’m afraid I must return first—”

Sect Master Ji struggled with his words, but before he could finish speaking, Qi Yuan interrupted him directly.

“Sect Master Ji, since the Six Desires Immortal Sect has made its move, even if you return now, it probably won’t change anything.

After all, the Six Desires Immortal Sect is quite powerful and currently holds the upper hand.

Furthermore, this matter might be a conspiracy between the Six Desires Immortal Sect and the Seven Profound Dao Sect, aimed at defeating us one by one.

If you return to their aid, you’ll fall into their trap. In my opinion, Sect Master Ji, it’s best to remain still and help the Yin You Holy Land overcome this calamity first.

Later, we can mobilize our army to wipe out the Six Desires Immortal Sect in one fell swoop. After all,

as long as your sect’s elite forces remain, even if a mere mountain gate is destroyed, it won’t have much of an impact!”

Qi Yuan’s words caused Sect Master Ji’s expression to shift uncertainly.

The other party’s meaning was clear: sacrifice their own sect’s cultivators to avoid being defeated one by one.

Although he was somewhat conflicted, he couldn’t deny that Qi Yuan’s words made some sense.

After all, if they were truly defeated one by one, leaving the Yin You Holy Land would be like walking into a trap.

You must understand…

The strategy of defeating enemies one by one is not without precedent.

Many allied forces that attempted to attack the Seven Profound Dao Sect were defeated before they even entered Taiyuan Prefecture, leaving many severely weakened.

Sect Master Ji wouldn’t naively believe that his forces alone could defeat the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

At this moment,

Yin You Holy Lord also said, “Sect Master Ji, Holy Lord Qi is right. If you leave, you might fall into the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s trap. It’s better to

stay and resolve the immediate problem.

When your sect is rebuilt, Yin You Holy Land will naturally bear some of the losses, ensuring Sect Master Ji’s efforts are not in vain.”

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Ji made his decision, took a deep breath, and nodded.

“Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Youquan!”
