Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly. This was the first time someone had trusted him so much, and since he was originally from the Eastern Region, he naturally wanted to contribute now that the Eastern Region was being invaded by the Demon Sect. However, his strength was simply too weak to have much impact on the situation.
But now that Yun Qing had sent him to the sea area, he no longer needed to worry about threats from the Demon Sect. He could focus on cultivating and return to the Eastern Region when he had enough power to confront the Demon Sect.
"Master, since you trust me so much, I will not let you down," Xing Chen said after a moment of daze.
"Good, Chen Er. Let's first go to Falling Star Valley to meet up with those people, and then look for the Teleportation Array that leads to the sea," Yun Qing nodded and then left with Xing Chen. Along the way, they followed the aura of Yan Haoxuan and others, and soon arrived at Falling Star Valley.
At this moment, Falling Star Valley had gathered all the forces of Sword Mound. The previous invasion by the Silver Dragon Alliance had made those in Sword Mound harbor even more hatred towards the external powers.
Therefore, this time Yan Haoxuan and his group were intercepted outside Falling Star Valley by Zhao Yiming, Qiu Pengchi, and others before they could even enter.
"Are all the forces of your Eastern Region coming together this time?" Qiu Pengchi sneered as he looked at Yan Haoxuan and his group.
Among Yan Haoxuan's group, there were nearly a thousand people at Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak, and more than ten who had reached Yang Spirit Peak. With such a large force, if their five top experts were present, they might have a chance to block them.
However, during their last exploration of the massive Golden Palace, they lost two people without gaining anything. This incident had already angered them enough, and they were shocked to find that external forces were launching a full-scale attack on Sword Mound as soon as they came out.
If they hadn't returned in time, all the major forces of Sword Mound would likely have been subdued by the Silver Dragon Alliance by now.
"We come with no ill intentions this time. After all, we are all from the Eastern Region. Now that the Eastern Region is facing robbery, we should unite against our common enemy instead of fighting among ourselves," Yan Haoxuan stepped forward and glanced at Zhao Yiming and his companions.
"Hmph! Do you think we will believe your nonsense? Last time your external forces almost scattered all our powers in Sword Mound. Did you ever consider that we are all from the Eastern Region back then? Did you think about it when you were hunting us down?"
Before Zhao Yiming could speak further, a cold female voice slowly rang out. The speaker was Zhang Mengning, who had fought against Xing Chen before. Due to being affected by Heartbreak Elixir's poison, she suffered greatly at Xing Chen's hands and was severely injured—almost losing her life in Yellow Sand Palace. If it hadn't been for that sudden burst of golden light transporting them all away at a critical moment, she would have been dead by now.
"You are courting death! Since you insist on opposing us, we can only kill you here to prevent you from stabbing us in the back later."
Huang glared fiercely at Zhao Yiming and his companions. As an Imperial Ancestor and a half-step Fate Realm expert, he had never needed to explain himself when facing Yang Spirit Realm experts. Seeing Zhao Yiming's group act so recklessly ignited his fury instantly.
"Go ahead and make your move if you have what it takes; let's see if you can kill us all," Qiu Pengchi said with a sinister expression. He also had a fiery temper and naturally wouldn't show any good face after hearing Huang's words.
"This is what you asked for!" Huang's face twisted into a ferocious expression as he prepared to strike. However, Yan Haoxuan stopped him while addressing Zhao Yiming and others.
"No matter how you think about it, the fact that you are from the Eastern Region will not change. Right now, the Demon Sect from the Central Domain is launching a massive invasion, and there are no less than ten Soul-Searching Realm Experts among them. Even if they suppress their realms, they can still kill you. If we continue to fight among ourselves at this time, by the time the Demon Sect arrives, the Eastern Region will truly face annihilation."
Yan Haoxuan's expression was grave. He believed that Zhao Yiming and the others would eventually cooperate with them. After all, they were all from the Eastern Region. Even if there had been conflicts before, those were internal matters. Now, facing the invasion of the Demon Sect, they naturally needed to unite against a common enemy. As for their past grievances, they could be resolved after overcoming this crisis.
"Still the same question: why should I believe you?" Zhang Mengning looked coldly at Yan Haoxuan. He had been hunted by members of the Sword Sect and had nowhere to turn, which was why he ended up in this desolate Sword Mound.
Now, facing the leader of the Sword Sect, Zhang Mengning did not immediately attack him, which was already a sign of respect.
"Why? Do you think all these powerful individuals from the Eastern Region have nothing better to do than come here to play with you? If it weren't for some major issue in the Eastern Region, would we mobilize so many people?"
Xun Hongyi could no longer hold back. Zhao Yiming and his group had originally been chased into this place by them; now they were speaking as equals. Moreover, they were not even allowed to attack them. This feeling of frustration made Xun Hongyi feel like his lungs were about to explode.
"Who knows what wind blew you back here? But if you want us to believe that the Eastern Region is being invaded by other forces, you must provide evidence," Zhao Yiming said lightly as he glanced at Xun Hongyi.
"They're not lying; the Eastern Region is indeed being invaded by the Demon Sect right now. If we continue to fight among ourselves, the Eastern Region will truly perish," Yun Qing and Xing Chen arrived just in time to see both sides confronting each other.
"Who are you? Just because you say they're not lying doesn't mean they're not!" Qiu Pengchi shouted. He had entered Sword Mound many years ago when Yun Qing had not yet made a name for himself, so he did not recognize Yun Qing.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're the leader of the Sun Kingdom's Azure Cloud Gang!" Qiu Pengchi didn't know Yun Qing, but Zhang Mengning did. She had entered Sword Mound when Yun Qing was expanding his Azure Cloud Gang's influence, so she knew a bit about him.
"That's right; I am Yun Qing. However, the Sun Kingdom has already been destroyed, and my Azure Cloud Gang has not escaped its fate either. We entered here out of necessity. Since we are all from the Eastern Region, let's not make things difficult for each other!"
Yun Qing's gaze flickered slightly as he spoke. Although it was a time to resist external enemies, if Zhao Yiming and his group remained stubbornly ignorant, Yun Qing would definitely not hold back.
"Since Cloud Leader has said so, we naturally won't obstruct you anymore. After all, we are part of the Eastern Region too; doing our part for its survival is only right," Zhang Mengning said after a moment of silence.
When Zhao Yiming and his companions heard Zhang Mengning's words, their expressions changed slightly but ultimately remained unchanged. They understood Zhang Mengning well enough; given her character, if she agreed to this matter, there must be a reason behind it.
"In that case, thank you in advance. However, you all need to be prepared; members of the Demon Sect may arrive at any time," Yun Qing said as he cupped his hands toward Zhang Mengning and spoke calmly. Zhao Yiming and others did not obstruct them any further and allowed Yun Qing and his group to enter Falling Star Valley.
"Why let them in? Do you really believe their nonsense?" After seeing Yun Qing and his group enter, Qiu Pengchi could no longer hold back and turned to ask Zhang Mengning.
"Their situation should be true. Did you not sense that Yun Qing's strength has reached Gaze of Fate? If someone at Gaze of Fate has to hide in Sword Mound, it shows that there are indeed many powerful individuals in the Demon Sect. Otherwise, why would someone like Yun Qing hide here?"
Zhang Mengning glanced at Qiu Pengchi. Originally, she did not plan to let Yun Qing and the others in so easily, but after sensing a faint aura of a Soul-Searching Realm Expert from Yun Qing, she instantly confirmed that Yan Haoxuan and the others were not mistaken.
"Could they be planning to use the geographical advantage of Sword Mound to deal with those from the Demon Sect?" Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi were not foolish; they just hadn't thought of this aspect at the moment. However, after Zhang Mengning mentioned it, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Yes, given the current circumstances, it does seem that way. However, if what they say is true, there are no less than ten Gaze of Fate experts among the people from the Demon Sect this time. Even with the advantage of Sword Mound, it would be impossible to defeat them. At most, it would only delay things a bit. To completely drive these people away would require a miracle."
Zhang Mengning sighed lightly and then turned to enter Falling Star Valley, leaving Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi still stunned in place.
"Master Azure Cloud Gang has been destroyed; is my senior brother okay?" In Falling Star Valley, Xing Chen looked at Yun Qing and asked.
"Hehe, don't worry; your senior brother is fine. This time our Azure Cloud Gang did relatively well. Although all three major halls were destroyed, most of the Hall Masters managed to escape, including your senior brother," Yun Qing replied with a smile. When Hall Master He Mie from Sunset Hall found him back then, Yun Qing decisively ordered these people to flee toward Sword Mound. At their speed, they should have almost entered Sword Mound by now.
"Master, are we the only ones from Sun Kingdom who escaped?" Xing Chen hesitated for a moment before asking again.
"Not exactly; some people from the Yang Kingdom Royal Family and Eastern Sun Gang also managed to escape. They should be with He Mie and the others," Yun Qing said with a slight smile on his lips.
