At this moment, hundreds of li away, watching the Assault Emperor Alliance’s Martial Emperors reappear, the hidden Burial Sect sect master seemed to have anticipated something, sighing involuntarily: “The people of the Fate Temple are indeed not so easily fallen!”
“How did they achieve that?” Another Burial Sect elder asked in great confusion.
“If I am not mistaken, the people of the Fate Temple should have activated that plan. However, if it was truly used to deal with the yin demon, then that plan has probably already failed.” The Burial Sect sect master shook his head and sighed.
“Even the true demon could be resolved in such a way…” That Burial Sect elder pondered in shock.
After a moment of contemplation, another composed Burial Sect elder then spoke up to inquire: “Sect master, if the situation is unfavourable to them, then shall we not intervene?”
The Burial Sect sect master shook his head: “The Fate Temple and our Burial Sect have always minded our own business. Once war breaks out, the impact would be immense. Let them resolve it themselves. Moreover, Lin Xiao’s side is probably not as weak as it seems.”
The Burial Sect sect master’s gaze swept across the void, as if deep in thought about something.
At other locations, the remaining Assault Emperor Alliance members were all excitedly stirred up.
The true demon had vanished, not a single Martial Emperor from their Assault Emperor Alliance had fallen, and they had trapped the Zhengxiu Alliance members. They must have absolute confidence to wipe out the Zhengxiu Alliance in one fell swoop.
Their Assault Emperor Alliance was about to turn the tables!
“He’s not dead, our sect master is not dead!” Some from the Nether Sect wept with joy.
“Our Assault Emperor Martial Emperors have not fallen. Our Assault Emperor Alliance still stands!” Someone exclaimed, feeling a thrill of having lost and then regained.
“The hall master must have successfully activated that plan. Our Assault Emperor is turning the tables. The Zhengxiu Alliance is doomed!”
“The rise of the Assault Emperor Alliance!”
The Assault Emperor members in all directions shouted in shock one after another. After the despair, hope surged fiercely again, leaving them unable to contain their excitement.
“The Fate Temple hall master has also disappeared?” Inside the trapping formation, Lin Xiao thought inwardly, his puzzled gaze sweeping towards that white-haired elder he had never met.
At this moment, besides the original twelve, the Demon Sect sect master, another Demon Sect Martial Emperor who had been severely injured in the previous all-out assault, and the recently injured Ming Luo had all appeared. Although the three of them had somewhat weakened auras, they could still fight on.
Strangely, the middle-aged hall master from the Fate Temple was nowhere to be seen.
That meant now, apart from the Fate Temple hall master and Feng Youran, all the other Assault Emperor Alliance Martial Emperors were present.
And there was an additional white-haired elder.
“How are you all unharmed? Where has the yin demon gone?” Sheng Qianyu was the first to ask the Assault Emperor members, unable to believe the scene before him.
They had personally felt the yin demon’s power. Even without its full eruption, their Zhengxiu Alliance group could not resist.
Yet the Assault Emperor Alliance Martial Emperors, under the yin demon’s complete eruption, had actually all survived, and it seemed they had even dealt with the yin demon.
Sikong Jian, Dongfang Kaiyuan, and the others shared the same incomprehension. Facing the yin demon, even they had felt utter powerlessness. They could not imagine how the opponents had accomplished this.
“Hmph! You have ruined my grand scheme. Today, all of you must die!” Without answering directly, that extremely aged elder snorted coldly in anger.
This statement alone indicated that they had used that so-called grand scheme to deal with the yin demon.
This sent a shock through Lin Xiao and the others’ hearts.
The Assault Emperor’s grand scheme was actually so terrifying that it could resolve even the yin demon?
If it had been used against them, how severe would the consequences be?
They would probably all perish, would they not?
From this elder’s tone, the group also discerned some clues.
“Are you the hall master of the Fate Temple?” Lin Xiao asked the white-haired elder.
With the middle-aged man gone and this white-haired elder appearing, both wearing the same robes, and hearing that statement, it was not hard to connect the two.
The others also fixed their gazes on the white-haired elder, for they had guessed it too. A middle-aged man suddenly turning into a decrepit old man on the verge of death was indeed shocking.
From the opponent’s strength and status, it seemed not something a middle-aged man could possess.
It was highly likely that the other was originally an old monster.
He had merely used some method to maintain a middle-aged physique and appearance.
“Indeed. If not for the yin demon, I would not have needed to forcibly unseal myself, nor…” At this point, the aged elder’s eyes narrowed, intense killing intent emanating from him. The extremely powerful cultivation aura on his body had shockingly reached the fifth layer Martial Emperor realm, one layer higher than during the previous all-out assault on the Demon Sect.
Lin Xiao and the others furrowed their brows immediately. Unsealing? Could this hall master truly be an old monster? And one with extremely high cultivation?
Had he sealed his cultivation for some special reason?
Or was powerful force sealed within his body?
“Killing you a hundred times would not suffice to recover my grand scheme!” The aged elder was filled with resentment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he immediately commanded: “Kill. Slaughter them all for me!”
With that, the Assault Emperor Alliance Martial Emperors all moved. Waves of battle cries rang out, everyone’s eyes flashing with cold light as they desperately charged towards the Zhengxiu Alliance Martial Emperors.
A large portion targeted Lin Xiao, showing just how much hatred these people bore him.
“Hmph, do you think only you have broken through?” Sikong Jian snorted coldly, his fifth layer Martial Emperor aura blooming. His entire being seemed to transform into a sharp sword, his momentum fierce and unparalleled as he charged towards the white-haired elder.
“Who destroys whom is yet to be seen!” Ling Xiao roared angrily too, his third layer Martial Emperor aura emanating as he rushed towards the Martial Emperors charging at Lin Xiao.
“It is merely some pill used to temporarily boost cultivation. Once the effects wear off, they will surely suffer backlash. Kill them!” Dongfang Kaiyuan said as he charged towards the now white-haired elder hall master.
He was well aware of this hall master’s strength. At the fourth layer Martial Emperor realm, he could already contend against both him and Sikong Jian.
Now that he had broken through to the fifth layer Martial Emperor realm, even though Sikong Jian had also advanced one layer, a single person might still struggle to match him.
“Let us see who truly destroys whom. Without the yin demon, we can still annihilate you!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Sheng Qianyu, Qu Huang, and the Zhengxiu Alliance Martial Emperors all charged towards opponents of corresponding strength.
At this point, a situation of twelve people plus one corpse puppet against sixteen had formed.
However, though their side was fewer in number, they held the advantage.
After all, they were almost all powerhouses above the second layer Martial Emperor realm, plus Ling Xiao, Lin Xiao, and the Purple Corpse Puppet with their ability to fight across realms. They were not something the opponents could match one-on-one.
