Chapter 37: A Storm Is Coming, the Great Battle of the Sects Have Begun

In the Huoyun Sect, a group of disciples was training on the training grounds.

Suddenly, the sky changed drastically. Dark clouds rolled over and gathered at the back of the mountain.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be that some fierce beast is going to descend into this world?”

“Then why aren’t we running away? Are we going to stay here and wait for death?”

When the disciples saw this sudden phenomenon, they instantly panicked.

The person in charge of supervising their cultivation hurriedly shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense. The sect leader and elders are in the sect. Who would dare to act atrociously in the Huoyun Sect? Why aren’t you all continuing your training? Are you trying to slack off?”

After being reprimanded, the disciples didn’t dare to retort. They shrunk their necks and returned to their training.

At this moment, at the back of the mountain, a group of people with powerful auras were standing in the air.

Among them, the leader was the sect leader of the Huoyun Sect, Wu Poshan!

The group of people had sensed the strange phenomenon as soon as it happened and had hurried over.

Everyone’s faces were full of surprise and joy. They looked at the mountain top where the strange phenomenon was gathered with anticipation.

An elder behind Wu Poshan said with a smile, “Sect leader, looking at this phenomenon, it seems that the supreme elder must have broken through to the Incarnation Realm.”

Wu Poshan nodded and said with a faint smile, “With the cultivation of the supreme elder, it was only a matter of time before he advanced to such a realm.”

“Congratulations, sect leader. Now that the Huoyun Sect has another expert at the Incarnation Realm, our strength has increased greatly again!”

The surrounding elders also hurriedly flattered Wu Poshan.

Wu Poshan was also very excited at this moment, but he still tried his best to suppress it.

“Every one of you is the Huoyun Sect’s…”

Boom!

Before Wu Poshan could finish his words, the huge mountain suddenly split into two.

An incomparably tyrannical aura that made everyone present tremble in fear instantly shot up into the sky.

The monstrous aura was like a golden pillar of light that instantly penetrated Heaven and Earth. It could be clearly seen from a hundred miles away.

The dark clouds that covered the entire Huoyun Sect suddenly scattered like frightened birds when they met the pillar of light!

In an instant, the clear sky returned.

This scene instantly stirred up a storm in the hearts of Wu Poshan and the elders.

All of a sudden, a figure with white hair and a white beard appeared in front of them.

When they saw who it was, everyone’s faces turned solemn.

Wu Poshan immediately took the lead and bowed to the person and said respectfully, “Greetings, supreme elder. Congratulations on the improvement in your cultivation and your breakthrough to Incarnation Realm!”

“Congratulations to the supreme elder for the improvement in your cultivation!” The people behind Wu Poshan also said in unison.

The old man nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and said slowly, “Alright, there’s no need for all the formalities.”

Only then did Wu Poshan raise his head to look at supreme elder Yuan Hongkong. His heart was instantly shaken.

He could see that Yuan Hongkong’s aura was vaguely discernible as it seemed to fuse Heaven and Earth.

Yuan Hongkong’s each and every action seemed to be able to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth. It was so terrifying!

As expected of the Incarnation Realm. It was the realm that he had been striving for.

Yuan Hongkong’s gaze swept across everyone before he spoke indifferently, “Poshan, how is the sect’s situation recently?”

Wu Poshan paused and then said hurriedly, “The situation is not optimistic. Recently, many fourth rank forces are rising within the territory of the Huoyun Sect’s jurisdiction. They are communicating and collaborating with each other. Their ambition to challenge the authority of the Huoyun Sect is clear as day!”

Hearing these words, Yuan Hongkong’s expression did not change at all.

Wu Poshan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “This is only an internal problem. Currently, the Huoyun Sect has external enemies too. The Divine Phoenix Empire has already started making a move on the Huoyun Sect. They have secretly supported a fifth rank faction called the Lingyun Sect that even killed one of our Nascent Soul Realm elders!”

Hearing this, Yuan Hongkong frowned. He said indifferently, “I didn’t expect so many things to happen in just a few days of me going into seclusion. It seems that the Huoyun Sect has kept a low profile for too long, which made these guys look down on us.”

He snorted lightly and his voice was as cold as ice, “Well, now that I’ve broken through to the Incarnation Realm, it’s time for me to exercise my muscles and bones. Since the Lingyun Sect is the move planned by the Divine Phoenix Empire, let’s kill them off so that those people will behave themselves. Poshan, announce that in the name of suppressing the rebellion, we will launch a war of extermination against the Lingyun Sect. Just say that I will personally lead the troops in this war!”

“Yes!” Wu Poshan’s face lit up with joy.

He had been worried that the Divine Phoenix Empire would interfere in this matter from behind, but now that the supreme elder had broken through to the Incarnation Realm, even the Divine Phoenix Empire would have to think twice.

If the Divine Phoenix Empire did not interfere, he was confident that he could wipe out those emerging forces with lightning speed!

…

Two days later, the news that the Huoyun Sect’s supreme elder had broken through to the Incarnation Realm had spread across half the Lancang Region.

Of course, that was not the only news that shocked them. Everyone was more concerned about the news that followed.

The Huoyun Sect was going to launch a sect war against a fifth rank force under their jurisdiction.

The leader of their troops would be the Incarnation Realm supreme elder!

Upon hearing this news, most of the forces under the Huoyun Sect’s jurisdiction were deeply worried.

They knew that the Huoyun Sect’s decision was not only aimed at the Lingyun Sect.

It was to make an example out of the Lingyun Sect to teach the rest of them a lesson!

They had originally planned to go against the Huoyun Sect on equal footing, but now that the Huoyun Sect had an Incarnation Realm cultivator, it was likely that their plans would not come true after all.

Many third rank forces were also shocked when they heard the news.

Previously, the Huoyun Sect’s strength was only above average among the third rank forces in the Lancang Region.

But now, since an Incarnation Realm cultivator had appeared in their sect, their strength has greatly increased. The Houyun Sect was probably no longer as simple as a third rank force.

It was likely that the Huoyun Sect was planning to advance to become a second rank force.

All the sects that had borders connecting to the Huoyun Sect’s territory were on alert.

The Shangguan Family in the Lancang Region was considered a familial force, but its palace was magnificent and even far superior to the Divine Phoenix Empire.

In the hall, the head of the Shangguan Family also learned the news.

He did not look shocked at all. Instead, he showed a contemptuous smile, “The gap between a second and third rank force is not something that can be bridged by a mere cultivator at the Incarnation Realm. The Huoyun Sect wants to advance to become a second rank force, you say? That’s wishful thinking!”

He said mocking words, then his expression became serious again as he said in a low voice, “Hm? You still haven’t found any traces of that treacherous son?”

The few spies kneeling in the hall instantly trembled.

They had indeed found some traces, and they had also found a group of Core Formation Realm cultivator corpses along the way.

But if they told the family head this news, they were afraid…

At the same time, in the Lingyun Sect, Jiang Yiming had gone into secluded cultivation a few days ago, so he had not heard of the news that had stirred up a commotion in the Lancang Region.
