Chapter 572: The Sharpest Blade

Around the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the armies of countless Sects had already begun to press in quietly.

By now, they had surrounded the Ten Thousand Demon Sect so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.

In the eyes of everyone there, it was an indisputable fact that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was destined to fall today.

Once the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was destroyed, the most significant impact would be the subsequent reshuffling of the world’s powers.

In short…

The destruction of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would certainly lead to its division among many factions.

But no matter what, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would no longer be a colossal entity.

As for Lin Xun…

Since Lin Xun dared to be so disrespectful to the Outer Heaven Demon Clan and even obstructed their clan’s grand ambition!

Then! The Outer Heaven Demon Clan would make Lin Xun pay the price he deserved!

They were already prepared.

They intended to let the people Lin Xun cared about most die one by one right before his eyes.

Only in this way could Lin Xun feel true, visceral agony!

Only then would he be filled with endless regret for the things he had done.

Regarding what the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan and other forces intended to do to him…

Lin Xun didn’t care at all about what they were thinking.

To Lin Xun, the moment these Sects and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan surrounded him…

They were already dead men.

There were some exceptions, however; Lin Xun wouldn’t erase all of them.

Namely, Lin Xun wanted to capture some of the valuable Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons among them.

After all these days…

Lin Xun felt that the Outer Heaven Demon Clan must have made significant progress in their investigation of their Demon Lord.

Lin Xun had already come to a deep understanding of just how much integrity the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan actually possessed.

For these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, trying to get them to stick to their positions or maintain any sense of conviction was an extremely difficult task.

Early the next morning, the armies allied with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan didn’t want to waste any more time and launched a direct assault on the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

The initial attack.

The momentum of these Sects appeared incredibly grand.

There was even a sense that they intended to completely destroy the opponent in a single charge.

But for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, this situation was nothing more than a light drizzle.

These people had overlooked a very important thing.

And that was the reason why the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had existed for so long.

Since ancient times, the Four Great Demonic Sects had all changed more or less, but the Ten Thousand Demon Sect alone remained constant, as if forged from iron.

The key to this…

Was not because the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had good luck, nor because the attackers throughout history were incompetent.

Overall, if the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s strength wasn’t solid enough, it absolutely would not have survived in the world for so long.

It could be said that up until now, the number of times the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had faced attacking Sects was definitely higher than any other Sect.

Furthermore, for ordinary Sect Cultivators, many simply practiced their cultivation.

They hadn’t experienced many life-and-death encounters.

Even when many Cultivators descended the mountain for experience, they already possessed a certain Realm.

Moreover, the tasks the Sects assigned them were usually below their own Realm.

One could say that as long as no accidents occurred, these tasks could be completed quite easily.

But in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it was completely different.

In the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, there was no such thing as being given enough time to develop; there was no opportunity to wait until you were fully ready before going out on missions.

For a Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, from the moment you stepped into the Sect…

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect would give you a certain amount of Spirit Stones and basic Cultivation Techniques.

At that point, you needed to go complete missions.

Only by completing missions could you earn contribution points to exchange for more resources.

Therefore, Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect lived on the edge of a blade from the very beginning.

Their combat experience was far richer than those so-called prestigious orthodox Sects or other demonic Sects.

Thus, in the cultivation world, whenever someone mentioned their opponent was a Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, they would instantly become fully alert and dare not slacken for a moment.

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect wouldn’t try to reason with you.

To survive, they were capable of doing anything.

Especially after the pair of fellow disciples, Lin Xun and Su Ying, took charge of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the training methods Lin Xun devised for the Sect’s Cultivators led to progress that was harsh to the extreme.

Lin Xun had also used modern military methods, modifying them to create a version specifically for Cultivators.

Whether it was teamwork or individual combat.

Lin Xun even categorized the Spells and types of cultivation practiced by each Cultivator, ensuring specialized training so that every Cultivator could be pushed to their maximum potential.

It was just that in recent years, not many Cultivators had been able to witness the true prowess of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

But the strength displayed by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect today left everyone in awe.

In the first attack, these forces wanted to achieve an initial victory to dampen the opponent’s morale and boost their own Aura.

This first battle was extremely important.

As for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, they naturally knew the enemy’s intentions.

In fact, among the Council of Elders responsible for command, someone suggested that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect Cultivators should lose a few times first to make the enemy lower their guard.

Then, when they became careless, they would launch a massive counterattack to deal a heavy blow to those fellows.

But this plan was directly vetoed by Su Ying.

In Su Ying’s view, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s victory did not require such schemes and trickery.

What Su Ying wanted was to show her Senior Brother that under her management all these years, the combat power of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had not declined in the slightest.

She wanted to use a total victory to tell her Senior Brother that she was his most capable assistant.

To let her Senior Brother know that she was indispensable.

In this first battle, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan and other Sects committed a total of one hundred thousand Cultivators to attack the Southeast Gate of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

As long as they captured the Southeast Gate, it would be equivalent to having a foothold.

Then the allied forces could advance to attack or retreat to defend; at the very least, they wouldn’t be so passive.

Those responsible for meeting them were the Cultivators of the Blood Demon Hall and the Demon Blade Hall.

The Cultivators of the Blood Demon Hall and the Demon Blade Hall had originally belonged to the faction opposing Su Ying.

But after the Great Purge, Su Ying had cleansed the Blood Demon Hall and the Demon Blade Hall, installing her own confidants.

Now, both the Blood Demon Hall and the Demon Blade Hall were fiercely loyal to Su Ying.

After all, compared to the other halls and mountain peaks…

They had to prove themselves to be Su Ying’s sharpest blade.

Otherwise, with their prior history, how could they earn Su Ying’s trust?

And this time was their best opportunity to perform.
