Northern Territory Yunxia Sect.
The sect leader held the summoning order and said to the elders in the hall, “The divine capital has fallen, demon souls are rampant. If we continue to stand by, we will be the next to suffer. Pass down the order, all sect disciples prepare and set off, head to Leiyin Temple to assemble!”
Western Territory Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.
The White Tiger Valley Lord looked at the summoning order and growled lowly, “The demon clan has always been ambitious. If they control the Sixth Heaven, the beast clan will not escape doom. Notify the leaders of each tribe, bring the elite to Leiyin Temple, to jointly resist the demon souls!”
Dark Forest.
The beast clan cultivators who had scattered and fled earlier gathered upon receiving the message.
A bear clan cultivator clenched his fist and said, “The divine kingdom is gone, we cannot run away! It is better to follow the kingdom lord and fight the demon souls to the death!”
Everyone responded in unison and hurried towards Leiyin Temple.
In addition, small and large human clan sects and beast clan tribes across the Sixth Heaven, whether they had minor conflicts with the divine kingdom in the past or had always remained neutral, all responded to the call.
Within a short day, forces from all sides brought their people and arrived successively at Leiyin Temple.
Outside Leiyin Temple, the originally dilapidated open ground quickly gathered a hundred thousand people.
Human clan cultivators wore various coloured robes, holding magical artifacts. Beast clan cultivators had diverse forms, with robust auras. Although of different races and factions, at this moment, everyone’s faces bore the same determination, that was the resolve to fight for survival, for their homeland.
Wu Hao stood on high ground, looking at the dense crowd below, a warm current surged in his heart.
He declared loudly, “Fellow daoists! Demon souls have emerged, devastating lives. The divine capital is destroyed, countless compatriots have died tragically! Now we gather here to protect the Sixth Heaven, to avenge the fallen compatriots! I, Wu Hao, swear here that I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you all until the demon souls are completely suppressed!”
“Kill all demon souls! Avenge and wash away the hatred!”
“Protect the Sixth Heaven!”
“Fight the demon souls to the death!”
A hundred thousand people shouted in unison, their voices shaking the skies, even the demonic qi in the air seemed dispersed a bit by this momentum.
Chen Ping watched this scene, his heart slightly settled. With this force, they finally had the capital to contend with the demon souls.
Chen Ping let Wu Hao take charge of the work, while he led the people of Leiyin Temple into the Demon Suppressing Tower to recover!
To suppress the demon souls, they had almost exhausted all their spiritual power. Now they must recover as quickly as possible.
While Wu Hao was assembling forces from all sides, inside the divine capital, the Soul Devouring Venerable stood at the entrance of the underground palace, his eyes coldly looking at the golden seal in front of him.
This seal shared the same origin as the seal of Leiyin Temple, both formed by ancient divine power, suppressing tens of thousands of demon souls.
“Venerable Lord, this seal is too sturdy. We have tried various methods, but cannot open it.”
A demon cultivator elder bowed and said.
The Soul Devouring Venerable snorted coldly, “Useless! Cannot even open a seal!”
He raised his hand and slapped the seal with a palm, the golden light shield trembled violently, yet remained unmoved.
Xue Wuying stood aside and said cautiously, “Venerable Lord, this seal is like the one at Leiyin Temple. Leiyin Temple’s seal loosened because the Leiyin Bell was missing. But the divine capital’s seal statue has always been there. To open the seal, the sacrificial scripture is needed.
Now the divine capital has fallen, but Wu Hao is nowhere to be seen, probably hiding. Why not find Wu Hao and force him to hand over the sacrificial scripture?”
A killing intent flashed in the Soul Devouring Venerable’s empty eye sockets, “Very well. Wu Hao, as the divine kingdom’s lord, will not give up easily.
Pass my command, all demon souls and demon cultivators assemble, search for Wu Hao. If he hands over the sacrificial scripture, spare his life. If he refuses, kill all divine kingdom cultivators!”
“Obey the Venerable Lord’s command!”
Soon, a hundred thousand demon soul army and tens of thousands of demon cultivators who responded to the demon summoning order gathered together, forming an even larger black legion.
