Chapter 1370: 1012: Scouting the Location

The facts prove that once your strength grows, your back naturally straightens! On top of that, after Little Lark was influenced by the Vermilion Bird’s Divine Fire, her temper grew ever more explosive, and whenever she saw injustice, her sense of righteousness would explode.

"Isn’t this the You Lai I captured?" Wan Mingchuan flashed out, took one look, and his brows furrowed. "Sure enough, it’s the work of an Evil Cultivator. He deserves to be hacked into a thousand pieces!"

Jiang Yuanxin thought to himself that there was no rush. Although it had sold out its own family for merit, once those family members entered the instance and turned into abominations, how would they treat a traitor who bit the hand that fed him?

Heh, wicked people are ground down by the wicked!

Letting them die easily would be too cheap for these villains. Forcing them to struggle in endless pain without release, killing a pig with a blunt knife hurts more.

"Sir, do you know where those bad people are? I—I have to hurry and save my clan!" Miss Little Eight was both anxious and angry.

From the mirror image in the mirror, it was unclear how long the Heavenly Red Spider clan had been captured, and those villains mentioned that the Colored Cloud Spider clan was the softest in temperament. In the hands of such scum, who knew what they had been tormented into.

By comparison, she herself had, by a twist of fate, been bought by Miss Hu Jiu, and instead spent some quiet years in the Cloth Shop at Cyan Fish Mountain Market. She had no idea how her parents and siblings were doing now.

The more she thought, the more anxious she felt. Now that she had obtained her ancestors’ inheritance and gained considerable strength, she had to rescue her clan immediately!

"Don’t panic just yet. We definitely have to save them, but it doesn’t have to be this instant." Jiang Yuan comforted her. "These thugs are vicious to the extreme, and their station is like an iron bucket. I need to personally scout it out and then make a foolproof plan.

Besides, this isn’t the only evil thing they’ve done. I’ll send people to deliver invitations. Once the Ancient Ten Great Sects have gathered, we’ll discuss attacking Snow Cloud Valley together and rescuing the Spider Demons they’ve enslaved."

Upon hearing that their disciples had been ambushed and their souls refined into suppressing artifacts, the other nine sects quickly arrived, in addition to the Cloud Concealment Sect which was already residing in the small courtyard.

Du Li found an excuse to stay overnight in the small courtyard. Hearing the growing commotion outside, he peered down from the Aerial Pavilion’s courtyard.

To his surprise, he discovered that the Ancient Ten Great Sects were damn well holding another gathering!

His heart stirred as he recalled the demon beast migration plan mentioned last time, wondering if it was about to be formally put into action.

In just a few more hours he would receive the repaired Heart Mirror and could initiate the collective Ascension plan. When that happened, the Wilderness World would be completely finished as it disappeared along with the Power of the Celestial Dao’s Remnant.

Before that, if he could help them relocate the Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators, it would count as a good deed.

At the same time, he was thinking that although their ideologies differed, strictly speaking, the Demon Realm Alliance and the Ancient Ten Great Sects bore no irreconcilable blood feud. He should subtly persuade them to all move into Mr. Jiang’s small courtyard, so they wouldn’t get caught in the fallout.

To achieve Ascension to Immortality, a price certainly had to be paid, but that didn’t mean all living beings had to be buried with them. Save as many as he could.

With that thought, Du Li floated down gracefully.

But just as he steadied himself, he saw a group of people shooting unfriendly, razor-sharp gazes at him like arrows.

"Heh, Alliance Leader Du still has the leisure to hide and relax here with Daoist You Jiang. You’d better hurry back and clean up that cesspit you call the Demon Realm Alliance! First we have Evil Cultivators, then scum colluding with them to sell out the whereabouts of our sect disciples. If you don’t act, don’t blame us for giving you no face when it’s time to settle accounts!" The Sword Cultivator from Chenxi Valley had a fiery temper. Having personally seen his own disciples intercepted and killed by Snow Cloud Valley and having nowhere to vent his anger, he naturally had no good will when he saw Du Li.

Du Li was completely dumbfounded. It was the Sect Leader of Cloud Concealment Sect, Cang Rui, who explained: "We’ve long heard that the Demon Realm Alliance tried multiple times to take Snow Cloud Valley, only to fail.

Alliance Leader Du, are you aware that the Alliance leadership colluded with Snow Cloud Valley? Not only did they harm the soldiers sent to war, they also used internal Alliance intelligence to intercept and kill our disciples from the Ancient Ten Great Sects who protect the Human Race."

"What’s the point of talking to him? Daoist You Jiang already has evidence. Let’s just arrest them!"

"Exactly. This time, thanks to Daoist You Jiang tirelessly tracking the culprit, we finally know where our disciples fell. We should immediately send our Inner Sect Disciples to level Snow Cloud Valley and seize the mastermind! As for the vast industries of Snow Cloud Valley, they should rightfully belong to Daoist You Jiang."

"Qingfeng Hall has no objections. This is what he deserves..."

......

Du Li couldn’t help being stunned, and his face turned slightly pale.

So they weren’t discussing demon beast migration at all, but were planning to attack Snow Cloud Valley!

The Demon Realm Alliance had coveted that place for a long time. Besides its rich Spirit Stone Mine resources, its geographical position was easy to defend and hard to attack. In fact, he had privately pored over maps many times, and Snow Cloud Valley truly was very suitable as the Demon Realm Alliance headquarters.

Now that he learned their repeated expeditions had failed so miserably because of internal traitors, and that was why they had never taken it, there was no way he could be anything but furious.

"Everyone, it’s too early to be talking about distribution now." Du Li took a few deep breaths and forced a smile, wanting to steer the topic toward the migration matter.

After all, once the collective Ascension plan was initiated, the entire Wilderness World would be gone, and Spirit Stone Mines and the like would be drained dry. What was the point of exhausting themselves fighting over them now?

That one sentence drew everyone’s attention and malice. He smiled helplessly. "Snow Cloud Valley is easy to defend and hard to attack, and it might not be false that someone inside the Demon Realm Alliance leaked information ahead of time, even revealing military plans. But I personally led troops there. Even when we assembled some of the Demon Realm Alliance’s strongest forces, we still couldn’t take..."

"The fact that you couldn’t take it just proves the Demon Realm Alliance is useless." Ling Di jumped down from the Menghua Treasure Ship before he could finish, and sneered, "How many at the Tribulation Crossing Realm did you send? How many at the Mahayana Realm? How many Divine Artifacts did you use?
