Chapter 366: Myriad Slaughter Enter the Great Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the headquarters of the Great Mountain Alliance in the Misty Mountain Range, due to the temporary absence of the Alliance Leader, the leaders of the three major sects were presiding over this Great Mountain Conference.
Sword Head Shenshan of the Shu Mountain, Daoist Wushe of the Scripture Storage Valley, and Master Le Ku of the Benevolent Travel Temple. These three important figures who rarely left the sect had appeared here in unison today. It could be seen how important the discussion of this Great Mountain Conference was.
Below were all famous figures in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.
Basically, only a portion of the leaders of the sects, family heads, and rogue cultivators were sitting in the hall.
Recently, various major events had frequently appeared in this once remote cultivation world.
After establishing the Great Mountain Alliance, it greatly increased the ability to distribute resources and transfer authority.
With the production of a large number of aged medicines in the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm, the Great Mountain Region entered a new era of cultivation where everyone had pills to eat and medicine to consume.
However, this time was still too short, not enough for the new generation of cultivators to grow.
At this moment, the huge danger that followed the benefits had already barged into the house.
“Tell us about the situation.” One of the three people at the top spoke.
From the shadows in the corner, a few cultivators in black clothes and masks appeared.
They appeared in front of everyone.
When the people present saw these masked cultivators, they all revealed different expressions.
Some were serious, some were solemn, some were respectful, and some looked forward to it.
This was the Hidden Rock Army that enjoyed the best treatment and had extremely high authority in the Great Mountain Alliance.
They enjoyed the supplies provided by the first batch and the highest-grade standard artifacts. The Great Mountain Alliance even picked out a set of high-quality manuals from the various large sects for them to learn.
When carrying out missions, they had the right to request the full cooperation of the cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance.
Many people disagreed with the benefits they enjoyed.
However, the existence of the Hidden Rock cultivators greatly improved the internal conflicts during the creation of the Great Mountain Alliance. Moreover, their efficiency was extremely high, it was indeed an irreplaceable force.
Those who were dissatisfied would usually choose to register after clamoring, letting Jiang Li absorb many outstanding talents.
After the few Hidden Rock cultivators cupped their hands and bowed, they no longer delayed and began to narrate what had happened in the Great Mountain Region recently.
“Seven days ago, the Blood Saber Guards of the Myriad Slaughter Sect appeared at the western border of the Great Mountain Region.”
“Three million people from the Hundred Kingdom were slaughtered, and less than one in a hundred survived.”
“On the same day, the 230 ships of the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s flying ship fleet invaded our Great Mountain Region.”
The masked hidden cultivator used emotionless words to report information that made people tremble in fear. The atmosphere of the entire venue became more and more oppressive, and there was absolute silence.
“In the next three days, the seven mortal gathering places such as Puning County, Zhengjing City, Zhenwu Southern County, Changhui Kingdom, and so on were slaughtered one after another. There were countless casualties.”
“At the location of the accident, there were traces of a large-scale operation of the mortal army. I speculate that they might have the ability to control the mortals to slaughter indiscriminately.”
“In the next three days, the Heavenly Dog Association, the Twin Cult, the Snow Fox Building, the Thunderbolt Village, the Mountain City Crusher, the North Star Sect, and the other thirteen alliance forces were attacked.”
“Every attack lasted for less than an hour.”
“The Great Mountain Alliance’s patrolling flying ship has also encountered the enemy fleet three times and was destroyed immediately after.”
In the middle of everyone was a huge sand table, which was the rough terrain of the entire Great Mountain Region.
All the large and small factions were labeled on it. If one had enough authority, they could still see some secret ruins that cultivators dreamed of every day.
However, Jiang Li no longer had interest in most of them.
As the Hidden Rock cultivators reported the slaughtered human strongholds and sects that had died in battle, one person stabbed a small red flag into the corresponding sand table location.
Many cultivators present were first sorrowful and furious. They gritted their teeth for the death of their compatriots.
Then, they looked at the small flags that were getting closer and closer, and their hearts turned cold.
The flags indicated that the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s fleet was approaching the Misty Mountain Range in a straight line.
The destroyed human gathering places and sects were all slaughtered on the way.
In front of a fleet of that level, a round of cannon fire could directly erase ordinary small sects from the map.
Even the Great Mountain Alliance did not have the confidence to fight them head-on. How could those small sects established by Nascent Soul and even Golden Core cultivators be their match?
It was estimated that after the Myriad Slaughter Sect attacked together, they would not even be interested in cleaning up the battlefield.
“Six hours ago, our people recently sent back the news that the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s fleet appeared 2,000 miles northwest of the Misty Mountain Range.”
After saying this, the captain of the Rock Shadow Cultivator touched a photographic crystal and projected the image of the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s fleet into the air.
When everyone saw this, they could no longer calm down. The originally solemn scene began to clamor.
“2,000 miles? Six hours ago! Doesn’t that mean they’ve flown above us now?”
“You already knew about this seven days ago! Why didn’t you tell us earlier!”
“Such a terrifying fleet! There are still so many people from the Great Mountain Alliance sent to the front line of that Troll! How can we be their match!”
Below, there were all kinds of dissatisfied complaints and panicked whispers.
Some people even began to complain about why they had gathered them at such a dangerous time. They all wanted to quickly return home and escape with their sect.
In the face of such danger, there were naturally many people who had such thoughts. However, after enjoying the benefits distributed by the Great Mountain Alliance, they could not, and were not allowed to, do such a thing.
“Everyone from the Great Mountain Region, we have already expected this situation.”
“Although we’ve made a lot of preparations, we still couldn’t stall for enough time. Now is the moment to face the war.”
“The war we face this time undoubtedly concerns the survival of the cultivation world of our Great Mountain Region. I hope all the forces can cooperate.”
Sitting at the top, the auras of the three supreme leaders of the Great Mountain Region poured down, causing the noisy venue to become quiet and orderly again.
They did not invite these people here to discuss with them.
“Next, Sword Head Shenshan of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak will read the rules of the war.”
Shenshan Jianyi took out a jade token and slapped it forward. Golden words of light appeared in front of everyone.
“It will be approved by the highest meeting of the Great Mountain Alliance. During the war, all sects, chambers of commerce, families, and individual rogue cultivators registered in the records must obey the orders of the Great Mountain Alliance unconditionally.”
“All the forces must transfer more than half of their combat strength into the Great Mountain Alliance’s wartime army during the war.”
“The Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to stockpile all wartime supplies. You are not allowed to raise the price and ensure the smooth supply of supplies.”
“All the mountain gate array formations and factions below the A-grade must undergo an emergency migration during war.”
“Leave the encampment for the time being and move into the seven main defensive strongholds that have been set up. There are defensive strongholds, the headquarters of the Great Mountain Alliance, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, the Scripture Storage Valley, and the Benevolent Travel Temple…”
Under such circumstances where everyone had their own thoughts, it might be a good scene to talk reason with them.
However, once they left the venue, at least half of these people would immediately turn around and escape.
At most, they would leave behind some low-level disciples who were not valued to fool the Great Mountain Alliance. Their core combat strength and all the liquid assets that they could afford would definitely run away at an unimaginable speed.
In the cultivation world, individual cultivators’ flying ability was far above the modern transportation tools in his previous life.
They could run to the deep mountains and forests, or they could simply move away from the Great Mountain Region and find a place to start afresh. To them, this result was much better than defending the Great Mountain Region with an unknown risk.
Even many large sects would definitely send their core bloodline disciples out and act according to the situation.
It was understandable but not acceptable.
In that case, the strength of the Great Mountain Alliance would decrease by at least 30% before the battle began.
Therefore, the moment they received the news, the Great Mountain Alliance began to use their authority and various reasons to gather all the disciples of the large and small factions of the Great Mountain Region and more rogue cultivators.
During this time, they allowed these cultivators to work with the Great Mountain Alliance’s troops and had not announced the actual situation.
Only now that the battle was about to begin did they reveal the truth.
This did not seem right. Many people gritted their teeth in hatred.
However, this was the only feasible solution.
With such a powerful enemy in front of them, now was not the time to care about freedom.
To let everyone make their choice freely was to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, it was a pile of loose sand.
As Shenshan Jianyi read out the rules one by one, the expressions of the hundreds of leaders of the various factions present turned ugly.
They knew that they had been tricked by the higher-ups, but at this point, other than being united, they had no other choice.

If they won, they would all live. Everyone would enjoy the benefits and loot of the war.
If they lost… those cultivators from the Rock Mountain Range who had fled and become allies with them would be their best example.
Soon, the Great Mountain Conference ended.
These things had already been discussed in advance. Now, it was only to inform them.
The disciples of the various sects and sects who had been summoned here in advance had already been assigned their own areas and missions, and they were placed in the various troops.
However, the disciples who were at a loss did not know what had happened. They could only fight in peace when the leaders of these factions appeared together.
Moreover, these famous cultivators in the Great Mountain Region were also the group with the highest cultivation levels here. They were the backbone of this war.
“Reporting to the three lords, a strange cultivator took out the Alliance Leader Token.”
At this moment, another shadow cultivator appeared beside the leaders of the three major sects.
The news made the three of them frown.
The Great Mountain Alliance Leader Token had always been held by Jiang Li himself.
Now that it was in the hands of others, could it be that something had happened to their Alliance Leader Jiang?
“The other party doesn’t seem to have any malice. He’s currently waiting in the guest room.”
This hidden cultivator saw through the worries of the three big shots and added, only then did they feel slightly relieved.
However, the three of them still rushed to the guest room and saw the strange guest.
To be honest, even after some concealment, this person’s appearance could only be described as strange.
This face and the left and right sides were clearly made up of two completely different people.
However, in this day and age, it was very normal for cultivation methods to make the user look neither human nor ghost. They had seen too much and did not say much.
However, the lotus platform sitting under that person attracted the intense vigilance of the three Sect Masters.
“I am Thousand Hands Ananda. Greetings.”
It was Jiang Li’s Divine Statue clone.
He was in the Asura World and could not rush back for a while.
Moreover, he was over there, and even the Great Mountain Alliance Leader Token was unable to break through the normal communication of the world barrier. Therefore, Jiang Li could only hand the Alliance Leader Token to the Divine Statue clone to hold on to it.
He also let the Divine Statue clone come here first to help the Great Mountain Alliance participate in the battle.
“I am Shenshan Jianyi. May I know your relationship with my Great Mountain Alliance Leader?”
“Why is Alliance Leader Jiang’s Alliance Leader Token in your hand? In addition, if I’m not wrong, the lotus platform beneath you should also belong to our Great Mountain Alliance.”
They were truly unable to believe why Jiang Li would give the Demon Lotus to this stranger.
Jiang Li, who had seen this demonic object before, should know quite well how terrifying it was. How could he make such a decision?
“Don’t worry, I’m indeed Alliance Leader Jiang’s friend. I owe Jiang Li a favor. I came here this time to lend the Great Mountain Alliance a hand.”
“There’s a message left behind by Alliance Leader Jiang in this Alliance Leader Token.”
“He has something important to do now and can’t rush back in time. He still needs everyone to resist for ten days with all your might. In ten days, the danger will be resolved.”
The three people opposite him hurriedly received the Great Mountain Alliance Leader Token. The information and brand inside was indeed left behind by Jiang Li.
The information inside could not have been recorded forcefully, so they were mostly relieved.
Although they felt that it was inappropriate, they could only choose to believe Jiang Li first.
Jiang Li did not leave the information in the Alliance Leader Token in advance.
He had not reached the stage of foreseeing the future.
However, although his body could not return directly, his main body’s consciousness descended on his clone and he personally left a message.
“Where’s Jiang Li? What is he doing?”
“Forget it, let him stay outside. If we can’t defeat the enemy, with him surviving, our Great Mountain Region will not completely perish.”
“Thank you for your help, Friend Ananda.”
They did not take that sentence of solving the issue in ten days to heart.
In fact, they did not intend to let Jiang Li return to preside over the situation.
Jiang Li’s current strength had not reached that level. They did not choose this Alliance Leader to send him to his death.
They saw Jiang Li’s talent. As long as he was given time, in the future, he might be able to help the Great Mountain Region take revenge.
However, before either party could say anything, an explosion sounded in the sky not far away.
A powerful pillar of light had already struck the formation’s light membrane.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect’s fleet had arrived.
As for Jiang Li… he was on his way.
