Chapter 447: Enemies Across the World

Meanwhile.

Northern Dark Holy Land.

An ancient bell suddenly resounded throughout the entire Northern Sea.

The bell tolled ninety-nine times in succession.

Urgent and shocking.

In the Northern Sea, giant waves surged, dark clouds rolled across the horizon, and the air was filled with an unsettling, panic-inducing aura everywhere.

The Holy Lord of Northern Dark Holy Land, Luo Xuanshuang, suddenly looked up at the sky, her expression grave.

"Holy Lord, reports have come in simultaneously from the southwest and southern borders. The two great Buddhist Kingdoms of the Western Lands and the three great Pure Lands of the Central Region are invading!"

The urgent report rang out.

Figures appeared rapidly in the hall, all with grave expressions.

"How could this happen?"

"For many years, the Five Regions have always refrained from encroaching on each other!"

"It is so sudden, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand!"

"…"

Although Luo Xuanshuang's expression was grave, she did not seem very surprised. "It has arrived, as expected!"

Upon hearing this, the Elders of Heavenly Craft immediately understood that Luo Xuanshuang knew some information they were unaware of.

"Holy Lord, what exactly is going on?"

"Since several thousand years ago, the four great Buddhist Kingdoms of the Western Lands have been constantly warring, using every conceivable means to compete for faith, yet none could ever do anything to the others!"

Luo Xuanshuang slowly began to speak: "But since five hundred years ago, the Immeasurable Buddhist Kingdom and the Wonderful Sound Buddhist Kingdom have received help from external forces, and their strength has greatly increased… To this day, only these two great Buddhist Kingdoms remain in the Western Lands!"

"As for the Central Region, the situation is very similar."

"The original seven great Pure Lands, each with a foundation comparable to a Holy Land, now only have three remaining!"

Hearing these words,

the expressions of everyone changed drastically, and they immediately realized something: "Could it be the Saint Advent Society?"

Luo Xuanshuang nodded: "Correct."

The hall fell slightly silent.

Everyone's face could not hide their shock and unease.

"Such a big matter, why did we not know anything about it? We are only hearing of it for the first time today?" One Elder felt somewhat incredulous.

"Let alone you!" Luo Xuanshuang said: "I only learned of this recently as well. The Saint Advent Society has made moves in many places across the Cangyuan Realm, with a layout so far-reaching that it far exceeds our imagination."

Suddenly,

Elder Heavenly Craft thought of something and exclaimed: "According to their style, since they have now mobilized their entire force, then the ones taking action must not just be these external enemies!"

Elder Heavenly Pill narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying, the other two Holy Lands?"

As soon as the voice fell,

news came again; Absolute Beginning Holy Land and Qiankun Holy Land had acted simultaneously. Their movements were extremely rapid, successively uprooting the hidden posts of the Northern Dark Holy Land in many places in the Northern Region.

Even the branches of the Langya Merchant Guild in many cities were quickly cleared out.

Meanwhile,

the four great ancient clans of the Northern Region also made their move.

They launched an attack on the major cities heavily guarded by the Immortal Dynasty.

In just one hour,

more than ten cities had been swept away, and no soldiers in the cities survived.

Wherever they passed, they set up blood sacrifice altars.

They began to continuously sacrifice the surrounding living beings; Mortals, Cultivators, Yao Beasts, and so on, were all within the scope of the blood sacrifice.

Various pieces of bad news arrived one after another.

The expressions of the powerhouses of the Northern Dark Holy Land became increasingly ugly.

"What can be done about this?"

"Has the Saint Advent Society's methods reached this level? They silently brought many top forces in the Western Lands, Central Region, and so on, completely under their control…"

"Not just the Western Lands and Central Region? In our Northern Region, aren't we, the Northern Dark Holy Land, the only one left?"

"…"

The current situation could be described as terrible to the extreme.

It was almost as if they had to rely on the strength of the Northern Dark Holy Land and the Wang family alone to contend against more than half of the Cangyuan Realm.

Two great Buddhist Kingdoms, two Holy Lands, three great Pure Lands, four great ancient clans, and even many legacies that were not as famous but equally ancient and powerful.

This lineup, just hearing about it, made one's scalp tingle.

No matter how strong the Northern Dark Holy Land was,

or how deep the Wang family's foundation was,

could they really withstand it?

"Matters have reached this point; further talk is useless!" Luo Xuanshuang's face was indifferent, killing intent hidden in her eyes. "If they want to fight, then let us fight!"

"But the disparity in strength is too great. If we really go head-to-head, I fear…" Someone looked hesitant.

Luo Xuanshuang's gaze swept across the room; among the dozens of Elders present, many showed hesitation.

This was very normal.

In such a terrible situation, very few people could truly be resolute without hesitation.

"The disparity in strength is indeed great! But we have no way to retreat!" Suddenly, a figure walked in from outside the door, white robes fluttering slightly, a calm expression on his face.

"Saint?"

Everyone was surprised; they didn't seem to have noticed when Wang Mu had arrived just now?

Wang Mu looked at everyone in the hall and said loudly: "The Saint Advent Society is ambitious; what they are plotting is not just the entire Cangyuan Realm, but also the Luck of this realm and all its living beings! Once they succeed, although the world is vast, we will have no place left to stay!"

"The likes of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land and the two great Buddhist Kingdoms believe the ghost stories of the Saint Advent Society, thinking that sacrificing this realm and those ordinary living beings unrelated to them can exchange for greater benefits—it is simply stupid!"

"Once the Saint Advent Society's plan succeeds,"

"they will no longer have any value to be utilized!"

"Their ending will definitely not be good!"

"This is not me guessing wildly, but the consistent style of the Heavenly Demon Race, and even more so, their very nature!"

"They feed on Luck. Any great Cultivator, which one is not a lucky person favored by heaven and earth? Do you all think the Heavenly Demon Race will let them go?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell silent.

Those who had originally shown looks of hesitation now had a deeper look of desolation in their eyes, and at the same time, a bit more resoluteness that there was no way to retreat.

"They thought that the Saint Advent Society only wanted to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, but they never thought that both the tiger and the wolf are on the Saint Advent Society's menu!" Wang Mu said earnestly.

Of course.

In the entire Cangyuan Realm, it was not just the Northern Dark Holy Land and the Wang family who suspected the motives of the Saint Advent Society.

Like the other two great Buddhist Kingdoms of the Western Lands.

Like the remaining four great Pure Lands of the Central Region.

They had also resisted.

But they ultimately failed and were completely annihilated. No one knew the specific process, but it must have been very tragic.

The only difference between the Wang family and the Northern Dark Holy Land and them,

was that they had withstood wave after wave of the Saint Advent Society's schemes and plots.

If not for this,

many years ago, the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty would have already fallen into the clutches of the Saint Advent Society.

The Heavenly Demon Race feeds on the Luck of various realms.

They have too much experience in how to divide and devour the resistance forces in a world with the least cost.

The likes of the Qiankun Holy Land and the Absolute Beginning Holy Land are nothing more than ordinary.

…

"But can we win?" Someone voiced this question.

Wang Mu said: "Indeed, the current battle strength between the enemy and us is disparate, but… it has not yet reached the point of certain death; there is still room to maneuver."

Luo Xuanshuang looked at Wang Mu: "Mu'er, if you have any ideas, just speak them directly."

Wang Mu nodded and said: "First, the terrain of the Northern Region is too vast. Relying solely on the manpower of the Holy Land and my Wang family, the number of enemies and our battle strength are both disparate. We cannot support such large-scale operations. Therefore, the first point is to consolidate our forces!"

He looked at Elder Heavenly Craft: "The Void Realm trains I had you all make before should be ready by now, right?"
