The Sect Alliance, which was previously disregarded, had now become the lifeline of the True Fire Sect.
Messages were continuously sent to the Sect Alliance, but no response was received for a long time.
This was not surprising.
After all, it was common for several hundred years to pass before a sect would contact the Sect Alliance.
Even the liaison officers responsible for contacting the various sects had been dismissed by now.
Meanwhile, the Ten-thousand Stars Army officially set off, entering the territory of Nan Zhou.
The Dayu Empire had come to expand its territory, so it naturally avoided unnecessary killings.
The cultivators of Nan Zhou would become the fighting force of the Dayu Empire in the future.
If possible, the Dayu Empire tried not to kill and mainly aimed to win them over.
After the True Fire Sect’s Sky Immortal cultivators were eradicated, other small sects lost their will to resist and readily surrendered to the Dayu Empire.
The Dayu Empire did not mistreat these sects but only required them to pay tributes to the Empire in the future, without making any other demands.
If they were attacked, they could even ask the Dayu Empire for help.
The smaller sects were dumbfounded after seeing the conditions offered by the Dayu Empire.
They had initially thought they would become slaves of the Dayu Empire, but the actual situation turned out to be completely different from what they had imagined.
They were subordinate sects and had to pay tributes to the True Fire Sect previously.
But the items required by the Dayu Empire were even fewer than those required by the True Fire Sect, and they could also receive protection from the Dayu Empire.
They knew that the strength of the Dayu Empire was on a completely different level compared to the True Fire Sect.
With the protection of the Dayu Empire, their safety greatly improved.
However, these small sects were also slightly worried.
Could this be a delaying tactic of the Dayu Empire?
Once the Dayu Empire completely occupied Nan Zhou, they would immediately increase the resources required for tribute.
The small sects were extremely cautious and began to inquire around, especially about the sects from the Eastern Continent which had been paying tribute to the Dayu Empire for hundreds of years, it should be stable by now.
After some inquiries, the small sects were overjoyed.
The Dayu Empire was very trustworthy.
The sects within the Dayu Empire not only paid fewer tributes but could also develop peacefully.
The admiration for the Dayu Empire from the sects in the Eastern Continent had already surpassed all limits.
In fact, many sects even wanted to contribute to the Dayu Empire’s conquest of Nan Zhou.
However, they were turned down by the Dayu Empire, which did not need the help of domestic sects at the moment.
With the ten armies of the Dayu Empire, they were more than enough.
After gaining a better understanding, the small sects of Nan Zhou regretted not joining the Dayu Empire earlier.
The treatment they received was many times better than when they were being oppressed by the True Fire Sect.
The True Fire Sect and True Fire Sky Immortal deserved to die.
After the first wave, the progression of the Dayu Empire sped up considerably.
Especially when word of the treatment offered by the Dayu Empire spread, many small sects took action.
Since they were being oppressed anyway, why not be oppressed by the more generous Dayu Empire!
For the small sects, it made no difference who was at the helm.
The ones who were most opposed to the Dayu Empire were actually the large sects.
They had no one above them, so they were unwilling to become subordinates now.
By the time the people from the large sects reacted, the Dayu Empire had already taken control of the border areas.
Then, in an encirclement, the ten armies advanced towards the depths of Nan Zhou.
Nan Zhou, Sect Alliance headquarters.
The Sect Alliance was bustling for the first time, with dozens of Sky Immortals and several Golden Immortals gathered at the headquarters to discuss how to deal with the Dayu Empire.
Compared with the panicky Sky Immortals, the Golden Immortals were much calmer, and did not take the Dayu Empire too seriously.
A small sect from the Eastern Continent dared to take action against them just because they had a Golden Immortal. It was simply courting death!
“We Golden Immortals will go to the Dayu Empire together and demand an explanation from the King of Dayu. They must not only withdraw their troops but also compensate us in the Nan Zhou.”
Very quickly, led by several Golden Immortals, the top cultivators of Nan Zhou immediately flew towards where the Dayu Empire’s army was located.
It didn’t take much time for the Golden Immortals to reach the Dayu Empire’s troops.
The Sect Master of the Water Cloud Sect, Water Cloud Golden Immortal, directly released his Golden Immortal aura, pressuring the army of the Dayu Empire.
This time, the sects of Nan Zhou had come to demand that the Dayu Empire withdraw its troops and compensate them, so they acted without courtesy.
Xi Tian, a Sky Immortal, felt the appearance of the powerful forces and immediately rallied his troops.
With the power of his formation, Xi Tian successfully resisted the aura pressure from the Water Cloud Golden Immortal and flew into the sky, holding an Immortal artifact while coldly watching the oncoming cultivators.
“Bring out your king!”
Water Cloud Golden Immortal was surprised that Xi Tian was able to resist his aura pressure with his Sky Immortal cultivation level but still showed an you’re-not-qualified expression and said coldly.
“If you want to see our king, you must first get past me!”
A Golden Immortal, so what? You only know after a fight.
Xi Tian, the Sky Immortal, had no fear of the Golden Immortal at all.
Cutless battles had sharpened Xi Tian’s battle spirit, and he no longer feared anything.
Today, let the blood of Golden Immortals sanctify his battle spirit!
“Xing Tian Battle Soul, arise!”
The huge Xing Tian Battle Soul instantly took form.
Xi Tian’s body merged with the Battle Soul, taking control.
“Battle!”
With a roar that echoed across the heavens, the expression on Water Cloud Golden Immortal’s face grew grim.
He, a mighty Golden Immortal, was belittled by a Sky Immortal.
“Water Cloud Golden Immortal, allow me to teach this arrogant Dayu Empire cultivator a lesson!”
The Four Symbols Sect Master, Four Symbols Golden Immortal, who was next to Water Cloud Golden Immortal, spoke first.
The next moment, the Four Symbols Golden Immortal rode the Four Symbols Dharma Body and charged towards the Xing Tian Battle Soul.
Although this Xing Tian Battle Soul seemed a bit intimidating, what strength could a mere Sky Immortal cultivator wield?
Nan Zhou had been peaceful for too long. Without the existence of an empire, these cultivators in Nan Zhou would never know how terrifying the Battle Soul formed by a powerful army could be.
“Four Symbols, kill!”
The Four Symbols Dharma Body, formed from four peak Sky Immortal beasts, was Four Symbols Golden Immortal’s strongest tactic.
When the Four Symbols unite, they are equivalent to a Golden Immortal.
After the Four Symbols left the side of Four Symbols Golden Immortal, they immediately revealed their beastly madness, staring hungrily at the cultivators of the Ten-thousand Stars Army.
The cultivators from the Ten-thousand Stars Army faced the Four Symbols without the slightest fear. In fact, excitement could even be seen on their faces.
Decapitate!
Xing Tian’s axe was suddenly raised high, then ruthlessly slashed down at the Xuanwu (Black Tortoise), which had the strongest defense.
Seeing that Xing Tian had targeted the Xuanwu first, the Four Symbols Golden Immortal’s eyes were filled with disdain.
What a crude person, he doesn’t even know about the divine Xuanwu beast.
The Xuanwu had the strongest defense among the Four Symbols.
If you could injure the Xuanwu, I would eat in front of…
Whoosh!
The giant axe swept across the body of the Xuanwu without any resistance.
The Xuanwu, with a defense comparable to a Golden Immortal, was just split in two by that axe blow.
