Sword Seal City.
In the underground quiet hall of the Treasure Spirit Auction House on the most prosperous street.
Ten Void Refinement and Body Integration experts of the Spirit Race gathered. Among them, there were seven men and three women. The men were handsome and elegant, and the women were as beautiful as a stunner. Be it men or women, there were special patterns on their faces and skin. There was even a faint protruding spiritual horn on their foreheads, and there was a pattern like snowflakes on the surface.
Snow Spirit Clan, the branch race of the Spiritual Race. They were also the strongest Spirit Race in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. At the peak of the human race, they could contend with sects and factions. After the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, they quickly controlled the shops that auctioned and provided various cultivation resources and materials with their strength. The trade route from the Penglai Immortal City to a large city like the Sword Seal City was almost monopolized by them. Even the greedy and plundering demons did not dare to disturb them.
However, compared to the Devil Clan and the Flame Clan, the Spirit Race was much more low-key. It was the same for the Snow Spirit Clan.
“Everyone, the upper echelons of the Spirit Race’s Immortal Dao have passed down an Immortal Decree. The various cultivation worlds and the various races in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness must do their best to suppress the human sects and families. We can’t let them rise again. If necessary, we can kill them.” The late-stage Body Integration cultivator in the lead said calmly.
The other experts of the Snow Spirit Race looked at each other and did not show any surprise. In fact, they would have done so even without the instructions of the higher-ups of the Immortal Dao.
After all, cultivation was a battle against the heavens, and in the race, it was for benefits and resources. If they don’t compete, that would lead to their downfall. Only by competing could they maintain their peak and pursue the path of longevity.
The Penglai Immortal City won’t do anything for the time being. If the Mahayana Realm or even the Itinerant Immortals and Tribulation Transcendence experts make a move, I’m afraid it will cause a backlash from the human race. Therefore, after the discussion of the upper echelons of our Snow Spirit Race, we decided to focus on the Sword Seal City and other cities to launch a siege on the human sects and families.
”Sword Seal City is under the control of us old fellows, so you have to move around more from now on.”
The other Void Refinement and Body Integration clansmen nodded one after another. Soon, an early-stage Body Integration expert asked, “The Devil Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Winged Clan should have made a move as well. I think we can let them probe first.”
A Void Refinement Realm expert immediately said, “I’m afraid the Devil Clan won’t take action. The incident with the Black Tiger King a few years ago shocked the Devil Clan greatly. That Layman Goat fled back to the Penglai Immortal City overnight. Once he takes action, even if he secretly attacks the caravan, it might alert the True Treasure Pavilion. An immortal formation is not something an ordinary Mahayana Realm cultivator can take out.” The remaining Void Refinement Realm clansmen echoed, “That’s right. It’s better to let the Penglai Immortal City send an Itinerant Immortal to guard it.” “In the face of the immortal formation, it’s useless even if we attack together. It’s fine if we attack the caravans, but if we attack the sect and the other party requests the immortal formation, it will make it difficult for us to make progress.”
Isn’t it said that the Immortal Dao seniors are currently searching for the Beast Spirit genius of the human race in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness? I think we should wait for those seniors to reach the Western District before doing anything.”
Suppression was suppression. However, every one of them had their own interests, especially when they cultivated to the Void Refinement and Body Integration Realm. No one would be stupid enough to be a soldier.
The sects and families in Sword Seal City were not much of a threat, but the True Treasure Pavilion was different. It was an existence that could kill the Black Tiger King. Even the few Mahayana Realm seniors in the Penglai Immortal City did not dare to guarantee that they could kill the Black Tiger King in a short period of time.
The other party was a Devil Clan expert with a pseudo-immortal artifact fragment.
The late-stage Body Integration Snow Spirit Race member in the lead frowned. Actually, this matter had been discussed in the Penglai Immortal City long ago. The Penglai Immortal Sect would only send a Mahayana Realm expert to guard it. It was impossible for them to send more because they still had to prevent human experts.
“This matter has been decided. We can’t go against it. I’ll personally visit the Devil Clan and persuade them.”
A few months later.
In the main hall of the Cloud Sword Clan.
Many elders frowned. Recently, although Sword Seal City looked calm on the surface, there had been a storm brewing in the dark. Even the Supreme Elder had not gone into seclusion again. Even so, the sect had suffered serious losses recently. More than 80% of the junior disciples who had gone out to train had died outside. Not only that, but the most important thing was that the caravans that the sect secretly operated had been repeatedly attacked and wiped out several times.
The most important thing for a sect was resources. Without any resources, they could not even afford to nurture disciples.
Due to the long-term suppression of the various races, their Cloud Sword Sect and Ancient Moon Sect could only run caravans. They would trade at various gathering places, markets, and the Penglai Immortal City with the surrounding cities to maintain the sect’s expenses.
But now, this lifeline has suffered a heavy blow.
“What about the other sects?” The Supreme Elder looked at the head of the Cloud Sword Clan and asked.
The Sect Master sighed and said, “It’s the same as my Cloud Sword Sect. The ones who attacked were the Devil Race, but I and a few elders personally investigated. Among them, there are traces of spells from the Spirit Race, the Devil Clan, and the Flame Clan.”
When he heard that, the Supreme Elder shook his head helplessly. “It seems that the various races have still taken action. The Penglai Immortal City reminded us earlier, but we didn’t expect the various races to be so fast. Do according to the countermeasure we discussed previously. Shrink the caravan and order the disciples of the sect not to come out of the mountain for the time being. In addition, contact the other sects and exchange information to deal with this calamity together.”
“Yes!”
Since the various races had made a move, they would definitely join forces in the beginning. If they rashly counterattacked at this time, they would most likely suffer the most serious losses. This was because the human forces in the entire Sword Seal City were relatively weak. Unless the various sects and families joined forces and worked together, it was impossible. Back then, before the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the various sects had fought each other for resources and accumulated blood feuds over the years. Some families even fought endlessly with each other. The hatred was engraved in their blood. If not for the fact that the human race was gradually declining, they would still continue to fight.
So he could only wait. He would wait for the alliance of the various races to disintegrate on its own..
