Chapter 1544
When the tiger's away, the monkey becomes king!
After taking away the elite members of the Tu Gen Sect from Tu Gen Tian Xuan and forcibly tearing through the void to enter the Great Ming Dynasty via the altar, they entered the Great Ming Dynasty.
Shi Ming, the direct disciple entrusted with important responsibilities, became the 'leader' of the sect.
He already harbored resentment towards his master for not taking him down to accumulate military merits, lock in martial fortune, and devour national fortune...
After a symbolic inspection of the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Array], he returned to the main hall and drank alone in silence.
He wasn't much of a drinker either; after finishing his drink, he started grumbling and cursing.
Finally, he fell into a deep sleep amidst his hedonistic lifestyle.
Only when the chaotic footsteps and the mournful cries from outside the sect rose and fell did he slowly and impatiently awaken from his slumber.
"Seventh, Seventh Senior Brother, no, something bad has happened."
"Beasts, a beast tide."
Hearing the frantic shouts outside, Shi Ming sat up and growled impatiently, "What are you shouting for?"
"A beast tide?"
"Activate the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Key and Earthly Lock Array]?"
"Is it really necessary to panic like this?"
Upon hearing this, the disciple, whose face was filled with terror, stammered, "The beast tide...it didn't come from the front."
"But, rather, from behind us."
"They're coming from the direction of the Tai Xuan Sect."
Previously, our defensive focus was entirely on the front line.
"Suddenly, a group of strange beasts emerged from behind."
"They stormed directly into the sect's territory."
"Those at the very front are almost, almost at the main hall."
'bass.'
Upon hearing this, Shi Ming instantly sobered up and jumped out of bed.
He cried out in terror, "How...how could this happen?"
"How did these strange beasts manage to attack from behind?"
"Even if the Tai Xuan Sect falls, those strange beasts should still stay in the more spiritually rich Yao Tai region."
After the revival of spiritual energy, the reason why the strange beasts rushed towards the Central Plains in droves was because of this.
It was in pursuit of spiritual energy.
Of all the places in the Heavenly Realm, Yaotai has the most abundant spiritual energy.
That's why the appearance of strange beasts behind them was something Shi Ming and the others never expected.
"The elders outside are analyzing..."
"These strange beasts seem to have been driven here by someone."
"Seventh Senior Brother, you should go out and take charge of the situation now."
'bass.'
Upon hearing this, Shi Ming rushed out of the main hall.
During this time, it also shouted and cursed, "Who dares to drive strange beasts to cause trouble at the Tu Gen Sect?"
"Never died before?"
'roar……'
But as soon as he went outside, he saw the dense horde of beasts, heard the howls of the strange creatures, and witnessed the tragic scene of the elders.
Shi Ming was completely dumbfounded.
The imminent danger left him momentarily disoriented.
"How...how could this be?"
"Quickly, quickly contact Jiutian!"
"Send down the town angels to provide assistance."
"Quickly, quickly gather the disciples of the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Key Earth Lock Formation] and send them back to provide support."
"Don't just stand there!"
"Charge forward! Charge forward quickly..."
At this moment, Shi Ming urged his disciples to step forward while he himself retreated repeatedly.
An incompetent commander led to the deaths of his entire army!
His poor performance caused the already panicked disciples of the Tu Gen Sect to collapse instantly after several elders who resisted were killed.
"Don't run away."
"Charge!"
"Whoever runs away will be dealt with according to clan rules."
'bass.'
'Bang.'
"Ow."
Just as Shi Ming continued to urge his disciples forward.
Suddenly, several dark figures rushed out from the herd of beasts.
The leader was none other than Yunxiao, who drove away the beast tide.
Although he had been besieged in the Hidden Dragon Abyss for so many years, Xu Shan would supply Yunxiao with the best elixirs and spiritual veins every time he conquered a sect.
This also means that although he is not at the level he was at when he was sealed, with the help of several elders from the Tai Xuan Sect, Yi Mu Sect, and Huo Yuan Sect, he is still more than capable of sneaking up on Shi Ming and the remaining experts from the Tu Gen Sect.
Suddenly, screams of agony from Shi Ming and the others rang out.
The pillars of the family who remained at home, including those from the Tu Gen and Tian Xuan families, were also wiped out.
"You, you dare to drive beasts and attack the Tu Gen Sect?"
"Do you know that Lingxiao Pavilion has already sent down the Guardian Angel?"
"I can take your lives at any time."
After being captured, Shi Ming first said something like, "If my master and senior brothers hadn't been away, how could you have succeeded?"
Then, he revealed the fact that the town angel was about to descend.
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao instinctively asked, "Come down right away?"
"You mean, it hasn't come down yet?"
"what?"
After Yunxiao finished speaking with a cold laugh, all the captured elders, including Shi Ming, were stunned.
Having already understood what was going on from the other party's expression, Yunxiao quickly gave a look to the several array masters beside him.
He then said, "Immediately go and shut down the teleportation array of the Tu Gen Sect."
"True Lord Lingxiao, why don't you personally expend your divine soul to tear through the void and come to the Heavenly Realm?"
"The other town angels won't have the chance to come down again."
Upon hearing Yunxiao's instructions, several array masters quickly took control of the teleportation array.
The teleportation point was shut down immediately!
"Useless."
"Is he admitting it without being asked?"
"Staying silent might allow us to wait for the town angel to descend and catch them off guard."
"Now it's all right."
"The sect leader has led the elite troops away; we are left only to wait for death."
"No wonder Tianxuan descended to earth without taking you with him."
"They're not even as good as trash."
In front of the main hall, the captured elders cursed and insulted Shi Ming, whose face was ashen.
This dealt him an unprecedented blow, as he had previously felt that his talents were not being recognized.
At the same time, he was also harboring resentment.
"Tu Gentianxuan has led his elite troops away from the Tu Gen Sect?"
"It is the time of the [Spiritual Energy Tide], when the beast tide is coming."
"What was Tu Gentianxuan doing at this time?"
Yunxiao, who immediately gleaned important information from their words, inquired about it.
Upon hearing this, the captured elder and Shi Ming stubbornly resisted for a while.
But once Yunxiao and the others used some methods, they all spoke frankly and without reservation.
"Having received the imperial decree from the Lingxiao Pavilion, you led your troops to invade the Ming Dynasty?"
Although Yunxiao hadn't known Xu Shan for long, he was perfectly clear about what Xu Shan's true purpose was in invading the Heavenly Realm.
That is, to collect the Heavenly Souls and save the woman who carries the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and its military fortune.
And now?
Lingxiao Pavilion, however, issued a divine decree at this critical moment, ordering the Tu Gen Sect to collectively invade the mortal realm of the Great Ming!
Isn't that cutting off the fuel supply at the root of the problem?
"quick!"
"Immediately send someone to transmit this message to Lord Xu via the array points."
"Yes."
Not daring to delay even a second, Yunxiao immediately gave the order.
He then pressed further, asking, "Forced descent to the mortal realm? Where are your array points located?"
Yunxiao wanted to lead his troops to provide reinforcements first.
But Shi Ming sneered, "Don't bother."
“That array point has been personally sealed by my master.”
"Unless it is forcibly broken."
"But do you have that capability?"
