The three newcomers did not say anything. They produced jade slips which they tossed out to the Imperial Bloodline Clan Chief and the others, who examined them closely for a few moments. Although their expressions did not change, serious looks could be seen in their eyes.
The six cultivators exchanged glances and then began to transmit a conversation.
“Meng Hao….”
“I’ve already received your earlier reports about him. It seems this Meng Hao… is the greatest hindrance to our Northern Reaches’ invasion of the Southern Domain!”
“He has a peak Dao Seeking clone, and his true self can absorb life force, qi, blood, cultivation bases and souls….”
“We must eliminate him. Without him, the Southern Domain is ripe for the picking!”
After a moment, their flickering gazes came to rest on the Imperial Bloodline Clan Chief.
Lightning danced around him, and his closed eyes suddenly snapped open. He spoke for the first time, and his hoarse voice was filled with strange power.
“To deal with him, I approve the use of the ancestral statuary!”
The other five nodded in response. There was no further discussion. Moments later, the third wave army marched off of the Resurrection Lily bridge and into the Southern Domain!
In that instant, the killing intent of the Northern Reaches cultivators exploded out. The sky darkened as they shot through the air like a black cloud.
The Imperial Bloodline Clan Chief looked off into the distance. Lightning danced around him as he snorted coldly and then stretched his hand out and pointed upward. Immediately, a bolt of lightning shot up into the sky.
The air distorted, and then a fist-sized, translucent eyeball appeared up above. The lightning smashed into it, blasting it to pieces.
“The Southern Domain knows we’ve arrived,” said the old man. “Push forward at top speed. We will finish this war in one swift blow!” In response, the Northern Reaches cultivators roared and surged forward at incredible speed.
Colors flashed in the sky, and the wind screamed. Down below, the earth quaked under their killing intent!
Outside the Blood Demon Sect, Patriarch Song’s face flickered as he opened his eyes.
“They’ve arrived!” he said. “There is an old man with lightning surrounding him, most likely the most powerful person in the Northern Reaches, the Clan Chief of the Imperial Bloodline Clan. His cultivation base is astonishing. He noticed my Arcane Scrying Eye.
“They will be here in three days at the latest!”
Pill Demon and Patriarch Golden Frost exchanged glances. Seeing the profound gleam in each other’s eyes, they suppressed their anxiety and rose to their feet.
“Spread the word. The final battle is about to begin!”
