Chapter 1166: A Decisive Victory
Cutting through enemies like slicing melons and vegetables.
No one could stop them.
The once mighty Evil God Sect found itself powerless to resist.
With Ye Xuan, Mountain Ridge Venerable, Qiao Xinyu, and Qiankun Ancestor sweeping through, the entire Evil God Sect was completely unable to recover from defeat, falling one by one.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, some people directly fled.
Especially those top figures, each ran swiftly.
Although the Divine King warned that failing to conquer Floating Mountain would mean only one end.
But right now, it was nothing short of suicidal behavior.
Under the shadow of fear, they preferred to survive first.
As for how to account to the Divine King later, who cares about that.
Escaping now means staying alive at least.
Not escaping now means certain death, with nothing more to say.
As those top strong individuals fled, the remaining Evil God Sect fighters scattered, some escaping, some dying.
In just half an hour, this terrifying battle came to an end.
On the Floating Mountain side, adhering to the principle of not pursuing escaping foes recklessly, did not chase after them.
In this battle, the Floating Mountain side achieved a great victory.
At least fifty thousand people from the Evil God Sect were annihilated.
This was a very significant victory.
These fifty thousand people were not ordinary, all were formidable beings from various states, or exceptional talents with extraordinary potential.
Due to various reasons, they joined the Evil God Sect, becoming fervent followers of the Evil Dragon.
Their ultimate goal was to release the Evil Dragon, to cleanse all worldly sins...
Hmm...
Actually.
Normal folks understand they're just a bunch of mentally problematic individuals.
And more astute ones are well aware these people are merely brainwashed cannon fodder.
The real Sovereigns laugh maniacally from the shadows, orchestrating waves of chaos, plotting more.
This sight was not missed, Ye Xuan saw it.
The pity was, only Ye Xuan saw it.
It was evident that dealing with these people, even with Qiao Xinyu's impressive battle prowess, was not so effortless.
Qiankun Ancestor, however, seemed at ease and leisurely.
Since the last battle at Supreme Pavilion, Qiankun Ancestor had removed the old air lingering on him for millions of years, gradually regaining that invincible demeanor from when he followed Ye Xuan.
"Master, did you recruit this fellow?"
Qiankun Ancestor looked at Mountain Ridge Venerable squatting nearby and chuckled.
"He's from the Mountain Clan; perhaps he might have other uses." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
"That's true. Anything else that needs moving can be assigned to him." Qiankun Ancestor said.
"Master, he may have acquaintances over at Earth State." Qiao Xinyu examined Mountain Ridge Venerable, speaking softly.
"You mean, he's from Earth State?" Qiankun Ancestor narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." Qiao Xinyu nodded lightly, speaking softly, "As far as Xinyu knows, he originated from one of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands—the Spirit Void Sacred Land, formed a million years ago, attained the Dao three hundred thousand years ago."
"Leave that aside; when someone comes searching, I've got explanations." Ye Xuan waved his hand.
Daoism's Ten Grotto Heavens, Thirty-six Grotto Heavens, Seventy-two Blessed Lands—he was well acquainted with them.
Spirit Void Sacred Land was known for being reasonable.
They surely knew that Mountain Ridge Venerable had joined the Evil God Sect, so Ye Xuan pulling him back counted as a good deed.
Qiao Xinyu, hearing this, said no more.
"Emperor Ye."
Ji Lengyue returned.
"Again, we must thank Emperor Ye for his assistance." Ji Lengyue smiled wryly.
Ji Zhong also flew over, eyes full of admiration.
Earlier, he thought that those under Ye Xuan were impressive, but now, he realized Ye Xuan himself was a formidable figure!
The battle between Ye Xuan and Mountain Ridge Venerable was visible to all.
It wasn't just 'strong' that described it.
Ridiculously strong!
"Let's head back first."
Ye Xuan descended into the sacred grounds of Floating Mountain's Ji Family.
The crowd followed him down.
Zhu Xiuxiu, Ji Ziqing, Zhou Youwei, and others returned as well.
"This can't be..."
Ji Zifan, who was blasted into the mountainside by Ji Zhong earlier, now looked even more disheveled, feeling incredulous.
He had been insisting that Ye Xuan was a spy for the Evil God Sect, but now he was completely proven wrong.
That was one thing.
Even his own ancestor took orders from Ye Xuan.
Ji Zifan knew he was utterly doomed.
Moreover, the previous pretence involving the bleeding Zhou Yi Book, Ye Xuan was sure to tell the ancestor.
He was completely done for!
For these reasons, Ji Zifan appeared utterly devastated, looking very miserable.
"This time truly is a great victory, so many died from Evil God Sect!"
"Even the top experts from Evil God Sect were mostly killed!"
"See if these guys dare to cause us trouble again, next time they come, we'll annihilate them completely!"
"......"
The Floating Mountain experts were all smiles.
Yet those prodigies who joined Floating Mountain turned their eyes on Ye Xuan.
"Who is that person, is he ours from Floating Mountain?"
"He joined Floating Mountain for his Daoist couple, named Ye Xuan."
"So strong, I feel like bearing his children!" exclaimed a bold young woman.
Those words prompted the nearby female disciples to roll their eyes: "Tch, his Daoist couple is Zhou Youwei from East Desolation South Domain and reputedly on par with Southern Saber Mountain's Zhu Xiuxiu, what makes you think you have a chance."
"Alright, I yield." the young female disciple said wryly.
Some who saw Ye Xuan in Black and White Academy grew even more respectful.
"No way, this battle has made it clear, that master is the true Child of Destiny, I want to follow him and fight for him!"
Some even directly approached Floating Mountain's elders, asking to leave Floating Mountain and become Ye Xuan's followers.
What's more, there were quite a few people like this, leaving Floating Mountain's elders feeling overwhelmed.
Understandably, Floating Mountain drew these extraordinary prodigies to leverage their fortune to help suppress the Evil Dragon.
If these prodigies left Floating Mountain to join Ye Xuan instead, it would be a significant loss for Floating Mountain!
No words needed.
The high-ranking members of Ji Family from Floating Mountain gathered outside the grand hall.
All of them felt ashamed at the moment.
They had initially planned to stop Ye Xuan and confront him.
But the final battle was won thanks to Ye Xuan and his people.
It was a face-slapping lesson they couldn't ignore.
