The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
Sermon Hall, officially known as Mother Mary Sermon Hall, is named after the Netherworld Holy Mother who expounded on scriptures at “Daxumi Mountain.” The beings listened in awe, birds rejoiced, and beasts bowed down, ultimately leading to a profound realization among the beings that brought them to tears of gratitude. The Netherworld Holy Mother is one of the two revered deities of the Demon Cult, deeply respected by its followers. Among the sacred halls of the Demon Cult, Sermon Hall specifically houses various Holy Sect texts, encompassing a wide range of content, many of which are unique treasures, making it a crucial place for the inheritance of the Sanctuary.
At the sound of a warning shout, many people in the hall suddenly changed their expressions. Almost instantly, nearly half of them stood up, questioning loudly. Some individuals near the entrance had already rushed out to assess the situation.
It was originally a clear day, but looking towards Mother Mary Sermon Hall, thick smoke was indeed rising, and flames were flashing violently; it was clear that there was a fire. Worse still, from the direction of Sermon Hall, sounds of shouting and killing could be faintly heard, indicating that someone had breached the area.
As if reflecting this urgent situation, at almost the same time, a commotion erupted again. After several sharp howls, a voice suddenly boomed like thunder from a clear sky, angrily shouting: “Someone has invaded Reincarnation Hall!”
“Boom!”
A deep rumble echoed from another distant direction, seemingly responding to that furious shout. Everyone in the Main Hall turned pale; Reincarnation Hall is also one of the most important places within the Barbaric Sacred Hall, housing the spiritual tablets of the Succession of Demon Cult Leaders. It absolutely cannot be compromised.
What was even more frightening was that in such a forbidden place, how could there be an enemy daring to invade the Demon Cult Holy Temple? Could it be that those righteous thieves from Middle-earth were so treacherous as to infiltrate here?
With two critical locations being attacked simultaneously, everyone in the Main Hall could no longer remain seated. In an instant, dozens rushed out towards those two great halls. After all, regardless of their different sects, they ultimately trace back to the same ancestor of the Holy Sect, and they worshipped the same deities.
The statues of Holy Mother and Ming Wang currently stood tall in Main Hall, their piercing gazes fixed on everyone; who would dare to feign ignorance?
Compared to those sect masters filled with righteous indignation and fury, members from the three major factions—Wandu Sect, Changsheng Hall, and Heavenly Joy Sect—remained much calmer. Although they were startled by news of an attack on their stronghold, they quickly stood up. Besides them, Qinglong, Baihu, and Zhuque also remained standing in the hall without leaving.
At this moment, distant shouts and angry roars echoed back along with fierce flames erupting; not only had the fire not been extinguished but appeared to burn even more intensely. Meanwhile, someone screamed loudly in despair; it was clear that combat had begun.
Poison God looked coldly around and said, "Everyone, do not panic. This is my Barbaric Sacred Hall, managed by the Holy Sect for thousands of years. It cannot be..."
Before he could finish, someone in the distance suddenly shouted loudly, "It's on fire! It's on fire! The great halls are all burning!"
The voice was piercing and filled with a hint of terror, as if witnessing something horrifying. Everyone was taken aback, a wave of ominous premonition surged in their hearts. Someone rushed to the entrance of the hall to take a look and couldn't help but tremble, turning back to shout at those inside the hall, "All of you Holy Envoys of the Sect, the great halls behind are all set ablaze!"
At this moment, no one could remain calm any longer. They all rushed outside the hall and looked back to see that besides the Sermon Hall and Reincarnation Hall, which were engulfed in flames, the other three great halls—Hall of Law, Merit Hall, and Ming Wang Hell Hall—also had flames rising. Moreover, several large buildings on Demon Mountain were also emitting black smoke and flames.
Chaos erupted on Demon Mountain. People were shouting loudly, angry curses echoed everywhere. Some rushed to extinguish the fire, some intercepted enemies, while others cried out; some wanted to rescue scriptures, some were heartbroken and wanted to rush into the Reincarnation Hall to save ancestral tablets and bones. Others dashed around like headless flies, shouting and waving weapons but unable to find any enemies.
In short, at this moment, both inside and outside the Barbaric Sacred Hall was a scene of chaos.
At the same time, anguished cries rang out as sword lights pierced from corners with ruthless precision, splattering blood and even taking lives. The people of the demon sect were thrown into panic, with some shouting in despair among the crowd: "Orthodox Army of Middle-earth is coming!"
The defeat at Azure Cloud Mountain had not been long past; most members of the demon sect still vividly remembered that day's horrors. Although it had been a long time since anyone from the Middle-earth Righteous Path had invaded the wilderness, since they were all human, it did not seem particularly difficult to understand that their enemies would come here.
This further threw everyone into disarray; people were frightened and most ran around like headless flies. In the Main Hall, everyone’s faces changed color. Yuyangzi and San Miao both turned around and loudly ordered their top experts to rush for support.
However, at that moment, Qinglong suddenly stepped forward with a stern expression. He scanned both inside and outside the Sanctuary and urgently said, "Do not act recklessly; what is most crucial within the Sanctuary is right here with us."
As soon as he said this, everyone was taken aback again. But soon someone began to stir up noise; those great halls were indeed important, especially the Sermon Hall and Reincarnation Hall. They truly could not afford any loss. Someone questioned Qinglong about whether he intended to shoulder the responsibility if anything happened to those important halls.
Qinglong had no words to respond. Although he was a holy envoy of the demon sect, this responsibility was indeed too great. Since there could always be unforeseen circumstances, how could he dare to lightly assume such a heavy burden?
He was left speechless, and the people in front hurriedly made their way to assist other halls. In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen remained in the Main Hall, but they were all elite members of the sect.
Beside him, Zhuque walked up to Qinglong and whispered, "Big Brother, you don't need to worry. With just these few dozen people, they should be able to hold off most of the intruders below."
Qinglong thought about it and realized it was indeed true. He then followed everyone back to the main hall. Since many had left earlier, the Main Hall appeared quite empty. Qinglong raised his eyes to the two towering statues of the Holy Mother and Ming Wang in front of him and couldn't help but bow slightly, silently praying for the protection of the two deities over the Holy Sect.
However, as he pondered, he suddenly recalled the Ancient Sword of Extermination from the great battle at Azure Cloud Mountain. With the power of that celestial sword, if someone were to wield it and attack this place, could these elite few truly hold them off?
Qinglong calculated in his mind, including himself along with Baihu and Zhuque, but he bitterly realized that even so, he had little confidence in being able to stop an enemy wielding the Zhu Xian Ancient Sword.
That ancient sword was simply too powerful, beyond anything he had ever witnessed in his life. If the Holy Sect wished to dominate in the future, then both the Azure Cloud Sect and that Ancient Sword of Extermination would be an insurmountable hurdle.
How could they defeat that sect and that ancient sword...
