Chapter 245: The Great War Begins

The middle-aged man wearing silver-white armor looked at the expressions of the Disciples below, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He waved his hand and commanded, "Set off, destroy the Qixin Sect!"

The high-spirited Disciples of the Zhengqi Sect immediately followed the middle-aged man and rushed toward the Qixin Sect's base.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Qixin Sect's base.

The Qixin Sect's base had long been prepared for battle; they had also assembled all their Disciples, with an old man at the lead.

The old man had white hair and wore a Confucian robe; he looked refined and scholarly, appearing less like a Sect Master and more like an old teacher.

"Haha… Sect Master Qi, you're still not dead yet?" The Sect Master of the Zhengqi Sect patted his white armor and laughed loudly.

"If you haven't died yet, how could I go first?" The old man didn't take the Zhengqi Sect Master's provocation seriously and retorted sarcastically.

"You have occupied the Secret Realm for two hundred years already, haven't you! It should be handed over to our Zhengqi Sect now," the Zhengqi Sect Master said.

"Two hundred years? Hmph… How about you withdraw first, and in a month, our Qixin Sect will offer the Secret Realm to you on a silver platter," the old man mocked.

The Secret Realm opened every two hundred years. Although their Qixin Sect had occupied it for two hundred years, they hadn't gained a single thing.

Now that they had finally waited for the Secret Realm to open, this Zhengqi Sect—who knew where they got their information—had come to snatch it so quickly.

If they had just waited a little longer until the Secret Realm closed, they could have just given it to them if they wanted to snatch it.

"Why not just give it to our Zhengqi Sect now! I guarantee I won't harm a single hair on your Qixin Sect Disciples!" the Zhengqi Sect Master declared boldly.

"Don't think that just because your Zhengqi Sect has many Martial Spirits that you're so great. My Qixin Sect is not to be trifled with. If you want the Secret Realm, you'll have to step over my dead body," the old man said bitterly.

"It seems I have no choice but to start a massacre today," the Zhengqi Sect Master said in a deep voice.

"A massacre?" The old man glanced at the Zhengqi Sect Master with contempt and laughed, "Who will be the one starting a massacre is yet to be seen."

"Since that's the case, there's nothing left to say. Disciples, kill!" the Zhengqi Sect Master commanded.

"Kill!" the Zhengqi Sect Disciples roared and charged toward the Qixin Sect base.

Qin Ming also followed behind and charged into the fray. He had no interest in these Martial Artists at the Martial Master Realm; his focus was on the Martial Spirit Elders of the Qixin Sect.

Now, all the Martial Spirit Elders of the Qixin Sect had come out; all eleven of them were here.

Qin Ming glanced at the battlefield and saw that the fighting had already become intense. Ignoring everything else, he snuck toward one of the Qixin Sect Elders.

That Elder was none other than Elder Yan, who had been on the stage that day. He was currently entangled with a Zhengqi Sect Elder; both were Martial Spirits, and they were trading blows back and forth.

Qin Ming snuck toward that side, but at this moment, a Qixin Sect Great Martial Master spotted him and charged toward him to kill him.

The Great Martial Master slashed a blade toward Qin Ming's neck, intending to kill him in one strike. Qin Ming no longer hid his strength; he unleashed his true Grand Martial Master Realm power and dodged to the side.

Seeing Qin Ming's movement, the Martial Artist realized that Qin Ming had been hiding his strength, and immediately began fighting him.

The two traded blows back and forth. However, Qin Ming was unarmed and had to keep an eye on the commotion of the battle over there, so he was somewhat at a disadvantage.

Qin Ming didn't mind; he guided the fight toward those two Martial Spirit Experts.

The Qixin Sect Martial Artist felt that he had the upper hand, so he fought with wide, sweeping movements, using all his strength to attack Qin Ming.
