Chapter 572: Chapter 289: Fragmented and Disintegrating
Di Shenhan truly did not expect that Yi Nian Guan Shan would be so shameless as to make such a move.
Just now, Master Du killed the backer of your Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. With what you’re doing now, aren’t you directly offending the West Mountain Floating Domain? But now is not the time to think about this; he knows Master Du’s character.
If the price is too high, Master Du will definitely agree without hesitation.
He also wanted to say, no matter what Yi Nian Guan Shan says, fellow Daoist, do not agree, whatever Yi Nian Guan Shan offers, he would give double. Unfortunately, he has already emptied the Three Life Gates’ coffers and is unable to offer more.
He can only gamble on whether Master Du trusts him and not Yi Nian Guan Shan.
Yi Nian Guan Shan hurriedly spoke up, no longer using sound transmission but directly projecting his voice out of the formation, "Fellow Daoist, as a Loose Cultivator, you came to the Divine Fall Mountain Range to earn Spirit Stones, and afterwards you can leave the Divine Fall Mountain Range directly. You only need to help my Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks defend the sect, and afterwards, this old man will definitely offer two million Middle-grade Spirit Stones as thanks. Killing Zang Qianjian only earns two million Middle-grade Spirit Stones from the Three Life Gates, but this old man only needs help in defending the sect to give two million Middle-grade Spirit Stones."
Di Shenhan hurriedly responded, "Fellow Daoist, don’t believe him, you must know better than me about the people behind Zang Qianjian. Once Zang Qianjian is dead, neither the entire West Mountain Floating Domain nor the other Floating Domains that are allied with the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion will tolerate you. You will have nowhere to go in the Hundred Floating Domains but the Lifeless Abyss can offer you sanctuary, and if you kill Zang Qianjian, our Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect will surely treat you as an honored guest, allowing you to rest easy in the Three Life Gates."
Neither Wen Jiu nor others paid him any attention, simply having the East Spring Undying Bone quietly observe the battle, while controlling the Formless Demon Corpse to wait for the best moment to strike. Killing Yi Nian Guan Shan and capturing his soul to obtain the lower volume of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record was the last thing he needed to do before leaving the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
Seeing that the East Spring Undying Bone remained inactive, Di Shenhan showed a happy expression again, while Yi Nian Guan Shan continued to attempt persuasion through sound transmission. Because there was still a huge hidden danger within the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
If no one helps, the Sect Protection Array of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks will be breached.
Yet.
After multiple sound transmissions, when the East Spring Undying Bone remained unresponsive, Yi Nian Guan Shan could only unwillingly accept this result.
"Since you’re a Loose Cultivator, why not earn Spirit Stones when you have the chance? If not, I can double the offer, and with your strength, you can go directly to the midstream of the Heaven-Reaching River, where the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion cannot reach."
With that.
Yi Nian Guan Shan cursed internally in frustration, and looking at the great formation that continued to assault, a feeling of departure arose in his heart. The situation has reached a point where abandoning Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is unavoidable.
"Wuyi, Tiangai, follow me back into the Grotto Heaven to conserve our strength and await the Spirit Suppressing Army’s reinforcements. Zang Qianjian is a confidant of General Lin, one of the four Spirit Suppressing Generals of the Spirit Suppressing Army. Lin will have already received news of his death, and I believe someone will soon investigate and reinforce our Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. We just need to temporarily avoid them within the Grotto Heaven Stone Array. When General Lin’s support arrives, we can fight our way out again!"
Qu Wuyi’s expression turned serious, and she immediately had the idea of retreating; she has only lived over four hundred years and still has more than five hundred years ahead. She truly doesn’t want to die here today, and defending Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks no longer matters.
"Sect Leader, retreat. This is our final chance; if we insist on defending it, we will have no chance at all."
Qu Wuyi hurriedly transmitted.
She knew that Bao Tiangai would definitely not want to leave.
Sure enough.
Bao Tiangai remained unmoved, instead questioning Yi Nian Guan Shan, "Patriarch, we still have nearly three hundred thousand disciples behind us, what will happen to them if we retreat? According to the Three Life Gates’ methods, not a single one of them will survive."
Yi Nian Guan Shan’s anger grew between his brows, "Foolish softness, as long as this old man lives, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks exists. If this old man falls here, do you think Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks would still be standing? If I die, can they survive?"
Qu Wuyi echoed, "Sect Leader, retreat, the patriarch speaks reason, continuing to defend will only let Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks entirely lose hope."
"Patriarch, I’ve already retreated once before, and I don’t want to retreat again now. If we live, will Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks still be Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks?" Bao Tiangai spoke resolutely.
Di Shenhan couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he could see Yi Nian Guan Shan’s anger through the formation, as well as Qu Wuyi’s timidity and Bao Tiangai’s determination, inspiring a new thought in him.
"If any of you are willing to surrender and pledge allegiance to my Three Life Gates, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks will still be Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, and within the Divine Fall Mountain Range, you can choose a new location to reestablish your sect, and we can also spare the lives of your subordinates at our discretion."
Before Yi Nian Guan Shan could speak, Bao Tiangai immediately retorted angrily, with his Divine Sense projecting sound outside of the formation, "Insignificant Three Life Gate, your promises are like dog shit; do you think I’m foolish enough to believe you? Come, attack freely, even if I die today, I will take one of you down with me!"
Hearing this, Di Shenhan wasn’t angry but continued to speak, "Bao Tiangai, even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think of your family, your disciples. I can swear a Heart Demon Oath and sign a Thousand-year Spirit Contract, fulfilling my promises."
"Ridiculous!"
Bao Tiangai’s mocking voice flew out of the formation.
Hearing those words, the anger in Di Shenhan’s eyes could no longer be concealed, "Give it everything to breach the Sect Protection Array!"
