Chapter 426: Pursuit at the Border

Days passed one after another as Nie Li remained within the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Scroll, quietly cultivating. The Tianyuan God Clan's powerhouses had all begun to practice the Tianyuan God Clan's supreme divine art and the supreme divine formations that Nie Li had taught them.

Nie Li could feel that he was only a single step away from the Heaven Turn Realm.

Though he was still only at the Heavenly Star Realm, the fact that he cultivated the Heavenly Dao Divine Art meant that even an ordinary Heaven Turn Realm powerhouse might not be his match.

Moreover, Nie Li continuously circulated the Destiny Stars within his Soul Sea. The nine Destiny Stars grew brighter with each passing day.

The brighter one's Destiny Stars at the Heavenly Star Realm, the more powerful one's cultivation would become upon reaching the Heaven Turn Realm!

With so many Dragon Dao Realm servants at his command, as long as he did not encounter a Martial Sect-level powerhouse, Nie Li had nothing to worry about.

Divine Feather Sect.

A chaotic battle erupted.

Long Yuyin's Sound Alliance had originally controlled three Divine Pools and was considered a relatively formidable force among the great worlds surrounding the Divine Feather Sect. However, a group of mysterious powerhouses had suddenly launched an attack on the Alliance. Many among them were Dragon Dao Realm cultivators, and with Long Yuyin absent to hold the fort, the entire Sound Alliance collapsed in an instant. Tens of thousands were killed or wounded.

Faced with this situation, the Heavenly Path Alliance and the Demon Alliance naturally could not stand by and watch. But the powerhouses from both alliances who joined the fray also suffered devastating casualties.

Anyone from the Sound Alliance, the Heavenly Path Alliance, or the Demon Alliance who had left the Heavenly Spirit Academy was killed without exception.

The Endless Wastelands, a small border town, inside an inn.

Long Yuyin stood quietly. Compared to before, her demeanor carried a newfound air of maturity, her figure alluring and breathtaking. A servant knelt respectfully on one knee and reported: "Young Mistress, our Sound Alliance was attacked by a group of mysterious individuals. The losses have been severe—all three Divine Pools have fallen!"

"What exactly happened? Was this Long Tianming's doing?" Long Yuyin asked with a frown. The loss of the Divine Pools was a minor matter; what troubled her was the identity of these people, who had managed to inflict such devastating losses on the Sound Alliance in such a short time. Within the Heavenly Spirit Academy, the only ones capable of pulling this off were Long Tianming and Situ Beiyan. She had no enmity whatsoever with Situ Beiyan, which meant the most likely suspect was undoubtedly Long Tianming.

"Reporting to Young Mistress—we cannot confirm it at this time. However, there has been no unusual movement from Long Tianming's side. All of his subordinates are accounted for," another servant said respectfully beside her.

"Could it be Situ Beiyan then?" Long Yuyin furrowed her brow slightly.

"There has been no movement from Situ Beiyan's side either," the servant replied respectfully.

Long Yuyin's mind was filled with confusion. If it was neither Long Tianming nor Situ Beiyan, then who would be targeting them like this?

"Young Mistress, there is one matter—I am not sure whether I should bring it up," the servant said hesitantly.

"Whatever you have to say, just say it," Long Yuyin glanced at the kneeling servant.

"Among those who fought us, there was a Dragon Dao Realm powerhouse whose cultivation technique seemed to bear the methods of the Demon God Sect," the servant reported respectfully, his brow deeply furrowed.

"The Demon God Sect?" Long Yuyin's heart went cold.

Indeed, she had never considered this possibility. If it truly was the Demon God Sect, then the situation had become far more complicated.

"How confident are you that it was the Demon God Sect?" Long Yuyin pressed.

"I don't have much certainty," the servant hastily shook his head. "It was merely a feeling. Their auras seemed off, but I could find no conclusive evidence to prove it. This group is very peculiar—they targeted only us, and they moved with extreme caution, as if they were hiding from something!"

Long Yuyin's brow furrowed deeply. It seemed this matter was truly suspicious.
