Chapter 5775

“This battle is to crush the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect with overwhelming force, only then can I quell my hatred and intimidate all! Anyone who dares to dissuade me, undermining morale, will be considered a traitor and executed without mercy!”

His chilling gaze swept across the entire area like an icy blade. Under his overwhelming authority, no one dared to voice their opposition.

All the elders and deacons bowed in unison, their voices trembling slightly, yet they had no choice but to show absolute obedience: “We will obey the Sect Master’s decree!”

The order spread like wildfire throughout the entire Ten Thousand Souls Demon Sect.

Above the Crimson Blood Plains, beams of powerful demonic light rose from various strongholds, mines, and secret cultivation grounds, converging on the Demon Sect headquarters like crows returning to their nests.

The weapon-forging workshop forged demonic weapons and armor day and night, the alchemy room distributed all its stored combat pills, and tamed, ferocious demonic beasts were saddled and groveled, emitting restless roars.

The colossal machine of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, born for war, began to operate at unprecedented power, its chilling aura soaring to the heavens, stirring the perpetually swirling crimson clouds above the Crimson Blood Plains, its target the distant Myriad Beasts Mountains!

…

Myriad Beasts Sect, Council Hall. Panic was spreading.

Unlike the Myriad Souls Demon Sect’s proactive attack, the Myriad Beasts Sect’s council hall was filled with a sense of impending doom.

The joy and confidence brought by previous victories seemed so fragile in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

“Sect Master! Urgent intelligence! The Myriad Souls Demon Sect is mobilizing on a massive scale! That old demon, Soul Fiend, has declared that he will personally launch a full-scale attack to raze my Myriad Beasts Sect to the ground!”

A disciple in charge of intelligence rushed into the hall, his voice shrill and distorted with extreme fear.

This news was like a meteorite crashing into a calm lake, instantly creating towering waves.

“A full-scale attack?! Have they…have they gone mad?”

“Soul Fiend is personally attacking…a ninth-grade Celestial Immortal…how can we possibly stop them?”　”There are still so many elders of the Demonic Sect, dozens of Heavenly Immortal Realm experts… We’re finished!”

“If only… if only we hadn’t provoked them…”

Despair spread like a plague among the crowd. Some disciples with weaker wills turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even some seasoned elders had tightly pressed lips and dim eyes, as if they could already see the sect’s destruction and rivers of blood.

All eyes finally focused on the silent young man in blue robes sitting at the head of the table.

Shi Yan and Ying Wu stood beside Kai, their fists clenched so tightly their nails almost dug into their flesh. They placed all their hopes, even the survival of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, on this seemingly ordinary yet miraculously successful senior.

The Sect Master of the Rending Heaven Sect was ashen-faced, his throat dry. He turned to Kai, his voice heavy as lead: “Senior, the Demonic Sect is coming with overwhelming force, their strength far surpassing ours. A head-on confrontation would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.”

“Do you think… we should temporarily avoid their advance, break up our forces, and retreat into the depths of the mountains?”

Kai slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and still, like an ancient well, undisturbed by any ripples, as if the earth-shattering crisis outside had not stirred any emotion within him.

He lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingertips, producing a rhythmic and steady “tap-tap” sound. This sound seemed to possess a strange magic, gradually calming the growing commotion and whispers in the hall.

“What’s the panic?”

Kai spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet clearly reaching everyone’s ears, carrying an undeniable calmness.

“When the enemy is powerful, we should avoid their advance. They’ve come out in full force; their home base will inevitably be vulnerable. This is common sense; what is there to fear?”
