Chapter 245: He Directly Surrendered
The Sacred Lord of Yincang was already in complete despair at this moment. He had never imagined things would reach such a stage.
Compared to the other three Sacred Lands, the Sacred Land of Yincang had always been the weakest one.
The Sacred Land of Yincang had been the last to squeeze its way into the Western Sacred Lands. Its foundations were inferior to the other three Sacred Lands, and beyond that, the Sacred Land of Yincang also had a dark history.
In truth, the original Sacred Land of Yincang had been a Yincang Divine Cult within the Demonic Sect Territory, once the leader among the demonic path. However, during the previous war between righteousness and demonic factions, they had backstabbed the other demonic sects and demonic orders, thereby shedding their identity as a demonic sect.
Moreover, it had been the Sacred Land of Yincang that organized the major forces of the Demonic Sect Territory to launch that great war. Unfortunately, all of it had been a scheme jointly designed by them and the three Sacred Lands, with the sole purpose of completely wiping out the demonic cultivators of the Demonic Sect Territory.
In the end, they succeeded. The Sacred Land of Yincang obtained the resources it deserved, and the sect leader who had orchestrated everything even ascended because of this, laying the foundation for the Sacred Land of Yincang to become one of the Western Sacred Lands.
Who could have thought that even after becoming one of the Western Sacred Lands, they would still meet the fate of annihilation.
The Sacred Lord of Yincang was filled with regret. He even felt that if the ancestors of the Sacred Land of Yincang had not backstabbed others back then, if they had endured the hardships and remained in the Demonic Sect Territory, perhaps they could have avoided such an ending.
“Elder Yuchen, what do you think we should do now?”
The Sacred Lord of Yincang found himself unable to make a decision.
Yuchen, whose name had been mentioned, shook his head after hearing this. “The Sacred Land of Qinglan possessed an immortal artifact, and it was still taken down by Li Tianwei.”
“The Sacred Land of Baiyuan managed to escape, but Li Tianwei has already chased after them. The result will likely be the same.”
“Fighting is definitely impossible.”
“I suggest we surrender directly. With Li Tianwei’s temperament, he will not do anything excessive to us.”
Yuchen spoke based on his own judgment.
From Li Tianwei’s actions, Yuchen could basically conclude that aside from being ruthless in his methods, Li Tianwei was also an extreme idealist.
According to Yuchen’s investigations, after Li Tianwei returned from the Demonic Sect Territory, he had rescued millions of mortals. His later fallout with the ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had also been because he discovered their sordid deeds in the Purple Profound Mansion.
Thus, in Yuchen’s view, Li Tianwei was not as terrifying as they had imagined.
Upon hearing this, the Sacred Lord of Yincang could not help but glance around at the surrounding elders.
It was clear that these elders and ancestors had already lost any intention of fighting Li Tianwei.
The Sacred Lord’s question had merely been an attempt to find someone who could support him, since a proposal from the Sacred Lord and one from an elder carried slightly different weight.
“Elder Yuchen is right. There’s no way we can fight.”
“Surrendering and merging into the Sacred Land of Lingxu isn’t a bad thing either.”
“Didn’t we also betray those sects in the Demonic Sect Territory back then and still become one of the Western Sacred Lands in the Northern Spirit Domain?”
“And speaking of which, with Li Tianwei’s terrifying talent, it won’t take long before he ascends.”
“When that time comes, we’ll still have hope of rising again.”
Some of the elders had already begun to stir, tentatively speaking out.
Soon, more and more people began to echo them.
Meanwhile, Li Tianwei, having returned from the Demonic Sect Territory, spent some time and arrived at the former site of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan.
The expeditionary forces of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had basically wrapped things up as well.
Since the Sacred Land of Baiyuan had thoroughly destroyed everything when they left, not much had been left behind.
Their main task was consolidating the territory once held by the Sacred Land of Baiyuan.
Who would have thought that in such a short time, among the four Western Sacred Lands of the Northern Spirit Domain, only the Sacred Lands of Yincang and Lingxu remained.
The disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had already glimpsed the arrival of a vast new era.
It was at this moment that Li Tianwei arrived above the Sacred Land of Baiyuan.
When Tian Gang Superior saw Li Tianwei return, he already had a rough idea of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan’s fate.
“First Seat Li, is it handled?”
Even so, Tian Gang Superior still stepped forward and asked.
“It’s already been resolved.”
Li Tianwei nodded and replied.
“In that case, only the Sacred Land of Yincang remains.”
Li Tianwei raised his head and looked toward the other side, his voice exceptionally clear.
“Organize the manpower and deal with the final Sacred Land of Yincang.”
Very soon, Li Tianwei’s orders were rapidly passed down, and the expeditionary forces once again split off half their manpower to follow him.
Originally, among the three Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, only Tian Gang Superior remained to accompany him. The other two, Daoist Xuan Yao and Daoist Xixuan, stayed behind to guard the other two Sacred Lands.
With the examples of the Sacred Lands of Baiyuan and Qinglan before them, Li Tianwei did not know what trump cards the Sacred Land of Yincang might possess.
The Sacred Land of Qinglan had an immortal artifact, while the Sacred Land of Baiyuan had a Fallen Immortal protecting them within the Desolate-Withering Absolute Land, along with the Heavenly Court Dao-Striking Art.
It could be said that relying on their methods, even if they faced a joint siege by the other three Sacred Lands, they still had the strength to resist.
Now that only the Sacred Land of Yincang remained, what methods would they have? This made Li Tianwei somewhat eager.
After finishing his thoughts, under Li Tianwei’s leadership, the final wave of the expedition officially began.
On the other side, the Sacred Land of Yincang had already lost even the slightest intention of dueling Li Tianwei.
Whether it was due to the gap in strength or anything else, they simply saw no hope at all.
In the end, under the proposal of the Sacred Lord of Yincang, the Sacred Land of Yincang directly opened its sect-protecting grand formation, and all disciples and elders stepped out into the open.
For this, the Sacred Lord of Yincang even awakened the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestor within the Sacred Land, as well as other disciples who had been in seclusion.
Just as everyone from the Sacred Land of Yincang gathered together, the radiance of a distant teleportation formation pierced through heaven and earth, and countless figures appeared on the horizon.
The disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Yincang could not help but feel their hearts rise to their throats.
They did not know what the outcome of surrender would be. Even though the Sacred Land of Yincang had once relied on backstabbing to enter the Western Sacred Lands, choosing the same path again still filled them with deep unease.
“Strange?”
“They didn’t activate the grand formation at all.”
When Li Tianwei arrived before the Sacred Land of Yincang, he swept it with his consciousness and discovered that although they had not fled, no formations had been activated. It even looked like they had no intention of fighting whatsoever.
Just as Li Tianwei was wondering whether they were planning some sort of trick,
the Sacred Lord of Yincang directly spoke through voice transmission.
“Lord Li Tianwei, I am willing to lead the many disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Yincang in bowing our heads to the Sacred Land of Lingxu.”
The voice echoed from within the Sacred Land of Yincang, reverberating between heaven and earth.
The Sacred Lord of Yincang did not care whether other forces might hear it. In his view, surrendering was the best possible ending.
“They surrendered?”
Hearing the voice transmission from the Sacred Lord of Yincang, Li Tianwei was somewhat stunned. He had already prepared himself to fight them and to completely drain their remaining two Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators.
