CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 130: DARE TO DISOBEY THE ANCESTOR’S COMMAND?

On the journey spanning thousands of miles thereafter, Jiang Cheng gathered five more groups of people along the way.

At this point, the number of people behind him had grown to twenty thousand.

Among this group, there were as many as 272 cultivators of the Daoist Palace Realm, with 15 of them at the Daoist Palace Ninth Layer.

Among the remaining twenty thousand, over five thousand were in the Celestial Fate Realm.

If such a formation were to go out, it could easily wipe out an Imperial dynasty dozens of times over.

And now, Jiang Cheng was leading them grandly to the Divine One Main Hall at the very center.

From a distance, a large, dense crowd of people could already be seen standing outside the main hall.

These were all elders and disciples from various peaks who had arrived earlier, and their average strength was no less than the two thousand behind him.

High in the sky, numerous elders were riding spirit beasts to maintain order.

As for the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders including the Great Elder, they were currently inside the hall discussing matters.

Attacking the Mingxin Sacred Land was a significant affair.

Truth be told, Silence Sacred Land had no intention of destroying the Mingxin Sacred Land.

It’s not that they didn’t want to, but they couldn’t.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Heart Division has just over ten thousand people there; their top combat power is stronger than Silence Sacred Land.

Three against five in the Ascending to Saint Realm, thinking about destroying Mingxin Sacred Land was just a pipe dream.

Their primary goal this time was still to capture Jiang Cheng and Lan Ti.

Especially Lan Ti, she possessed the Witch Division’s "Earth Spirit Witch Manual."

This manual was useless to most other cultivators, but it was a supreme treasure to Silence Sacred Land because their cultivation could be considered witchcraft.

Verbal Magic was just a small branch of witchcraft, yet it had already allowed them to develop into a massive Sacred Land step by step.

Getting the complete Earth Spirit Witch Manual would not only perfect Verbal Magic but also allow them to learn other witchcraft techniques.

The significance was too great for them.

This time, the entire sect attacking was more about showing a tough stance. Mingxin Sacred Land over there definitely wouldn’t dare to retaliate fully; in the end, they would still settle for compromise to calm things down.

That bunch of women was afraid the situation blowing up would lead to the major Sacred Lands joining forces.

At that time, they could seize the opportunity to demand a huge compensation.

Who wouldn’t want to squeeze a soft persimmon? Silence Sacred Land had been waiting for this excuse to send troops for many years.

The movement of those two thousand flying over was naturally sensed by these high-ups inside.

But they didn’t pay much attention.

They were all their own disciples; groups had flown in batch after batch before.

Yet they had no idea that the person leading them was their enemy.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand, stopping above the Divine One Main Hall.

The two thousand people behind him initially planned to fly down and stand with the other forces below, but since the ancestor hadn’t gone down, no one dared to act rashly.

"Alright, next, all of you will summon your Divine Mansion and Daoist Palace, bring out your strongest weapons, and unleash your best moves towards below."

Huh?

Attack below?

The ones standing below were all elders and fellow disciples from various peaks!

Not to mention the high-ups inside the main hall.

Attacking downwards would mean attacking their own people!

Seeing their hesitation, Jiang Cheng’s eyes squinted, shouting sternly, "What, you don’t even listen to the ancestor’s orders now?"

Wu Rong and the others quickly apologized, "We dare not, we dare not, it’s just that below..."

Before he could finish, Brother Cheng interrupted him.

"Fools!"

"Does the ancestor not know those below are his own people?"

"Do you really think with the ancestor here, you could actually harm them?"

"This is merely a test of your combat power."

"It’s a pre-war check to see if any of your skills have declined."

"The ancestor has spoken, anyone who holds back will be killed on the spot!"

The crowd thought it made sense too.

How could the ancestor possibly let them attack their own people.

With his Celestial Fate Realm’s heaven-reaching power, once he unleashed his domain, he could block all their attacks with a wave of his hand, even if all two thousand of them were to strike.

This had to be pre-arranged; nothing to worry about.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"We’re ready to attack, waiting for the ancestor’s command."

"Listen up, Xue Family disciples, put all your strength into this, don’t let the ancestor down!"

"Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’m taking out my long-cherished Tier Nine Spirit Talisman!"

"Disciples of Nether Fire Peak, don’t embarrass us, let them see what the Fifth Main Peak of the Sacred Land is all about!"

"Wu Family disciples, perk up, this is a chance to impress the ancestor."

"Whoever performs well may even get to stay under the ancestor as a Sword Attendant, achieving the Daoist Palace would be a piece of cake in the future!"

Instantly, the two thousand in the sky were so excited they howled, their battle intent soaring to the clouds.

The seventy to eighty thousand disciples who had arrived earlier below looked up puzzled, not knowing what was happening.

Why weren’t these people coming down?

Soon, they saw everyone in the air summoning their Daoist Palace and Spirit Platforms, weapons unsheathed, spiritual power surging.

Many even pointed and laughed.

After all, they were all from the same sect; they recognized many of them.

Who could have thought this was to attack them.

When Jiang Cheng gave the command, it was too late for all the experts to react as they launched their attacks downward.

Two thousand attacks shot straight down from the sky!

Instantly bombarding the hall and every corner around it.

Among these people, many were in the Celestial Fate and Daoist Palace Realms, and even if only one person struck with full force, it could cause tremendous destruction.

Let alone so many.

From above, no one could be seen anymore, only the multi-colored sword aura, knife aura, and the rivers of the Daoist Palace and Divine Mansion crisscrossing.

Rumbling sounds were incessant.

Accompanied by the explosions of spirit talismans and spirit arrays!

Many worked hard to impress the ancestor, putting in their utmost effort.

Not only did they use their strongest ultimate technique, but they also took out their prized treasures.

Some even cleverly launched a second and third attack amidst the chaos...

After this wave of attacks, the Divine One Main Hall was blasted apart.

The smoke and dust couldn’t even be seen anymore, only horrendous black mist rising all around, the void completely ignited, endlessly spreading like a coiling giant dragon.

If the Divine One Main Hall were invaded by external enemies, it would have many defensive measures.

Back then, never mind the Daoist Palace Realm, even Ascending to Saint experts would find it hard to break through here.

But the problem was, neither the great array nor the restrictions were activated at this time.

Who could have thought they would encounter a ’mass enemy attack’ on the eve of expedition.

The seventy to eighty thousand in the square were in a completely defenseless state.

They never dreamed their own people would attack their own.

Their spiritual power wasn’t gathered, spirit armor wasn’t activated, and they hadn’t even summoned their weapons.

Moreover, standing so densely was tantamount to standing still to be struck.

As a result, the casualties were extremely heavy.

In this wave of attacks, the seventy to eighty thousand nearly got wiped out, the vast majority left without a trace.

All spirit beast mounts perished completely.

Only over three thousand remained alive.

And these over three thousand were all wounded, in a very miserable state.

Even Jiang Cheng himself was stunned by this magnificent feat.

He initially only intended to disgust the Silence Sacred Land, cause some damage, and make them furious.

This Sacred Land eradicated the Witch Division with righteousness, forcing others to hand over people, completely unscrupulously.

It seemed fitting for him to handle it, bad ones have bad ones to fix them.

After all, it was a place full of experts, so he originally thought it would be amazing if a few thousand died.

Who knew he hadn’t even been killed and resurrected, and he had already wiped out the Sacred Land right ahead of time.
