Though there were occasional frictions between the Demonic God Sect and the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect, battles involving Martial Ancestor-level experts or higher were exceedingly rare.
Even though the Demonic God Sect was far more powerful, completely destroying the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect would still be incredibly difficult—a case of inflicting a thousand wounds while taking eight hundred yourself. Moreover, if the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect were attacked, the other five major sects would certainly not stand idly by.
The three great demonic sects and the six great righteous sects had always existed in a state of uneasy peace.
Today, the Demonic God Sect had launched a sudden, aggressive attack, and
Although the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect's strength had recently improved significantly thanks to
Yao Lie's figure dissolved into a sky full of demonic energy, and his palm struck down toward the Heavenly Sound Grand Array with a thunderous roar.
Nangong Xianyin let out an angry shout. Within the Heavenly Sound Grand Array, waves of celestial sound transformed into invisible forces, clashing against the overwhelming demonic energy.
The Heavenly Sound Grand Array trembled slightly but held firm, able to protect itself. However, it was the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect nearby who suffered. Corroded by the demonic energy, they screamed as they fell one after another from the sky.
"Sect Master, with our strength, I fear we cannot hold out for long!"
"Yao Lie, this demon, how has he become so powerful?!"
Pain and strain were evident on the faces of several Martial Ancestor-level powerhouses. The all-pervading demonic energy seemed to corrode everything, slowly dissolving their strength.
"Sect Master, we don't know if Yao Lie came alone. If that demoness Luo Xinyan also arrives..."
"Sect Master, it seems we must activate the Sect-Protecting Grand Array," one of the Martial Ancestors said urgently.
Nangong Xianyin furrowed her brow slightly, pondered for a moment, then gave a cold command: "Activate the Sect-Protecting Grand Array!"
Instantly, streaks of light, like a seven-colored rainbow, soared rapidly upward, enveloping the entire Heavenly Sound Divine Sect.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of demonic energy ceaselessly bombarded the seven-colored radiance, sending out ripples of force. The demonic energy was shattered and dispersed.
However, Yao Lie did not continue his attack. Instead, he slowly retreated into the dark clouds, silently gazing down at the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect below.
Nangong Xianyin and the others descended from the sky. The group of Martial Ancestors all looked somewhat disheveled. Yao Lie's demonic energy had been overwhelmingly powerful, making it exceedingly difficult for them to contend with.
"This Sect-Protecting Grand Array should be able to hold for at least several days. I hope the other five great divine sects receive the news quickly and send reinforcements," one of the Martial Ancestors said, somewhat dejectedly.
This confrontation with Yao Lie had been quite damaging to morale.
The Demonic God Sect's master, Luo Xinyan, hadn't even arrived yet, and just Yao Lie alone had already made them unable to resist. What if that demoness Luo Xinyan came?
"It seems the people from the Demonic God Sect don't want to attack our Sect-Protecting Grand Array!" one of the Martial Ancestors looked up at the sky and said with some confusion.
"What exactly are they scheming?"
If the Demonic God Sect attacked the Sect-Protecting Grand Array with full force, it could at most withstand six or seven days. But if they didn't attack it, the array could hold for even half a year without issue.
"What kind of scheme are they really plotting?" Nangong Xianyin frowned again. She had a vague feeling that things were not so simple.
"Sect Master, do you think they just want to trap us?" one of the Martial Ancestors asked doubtfully.
A sense of unease lingered in their hearts, refusing to dissipate.
