This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Countless Demon Race appeared on the wilderness at the outskirts of the North City.

The moon piercing through the clouds cast a clear light, revealing the dark mass of the Demon Race, which was shockingly overwhelming.

Originally supposed to be against the Demon Race and irreconcilable with them, the Cultivators of Rinsing Spirit Sect now stood silently on either side of the city gate, like guards welcoming their king's return, respectful and fervent.

So many Demons, entering through the North City Gate, in such great numbers, yet so quietly.

However, the number of Demons was too much, the scene too grand, ultimately impossible to go unnoticed by everyone.

Not long after, a Travelling Palace Cultivator passing by the North City happened upon this scene.

In shock and fear, he first rubbed his eyes, suspecting he was dreaming.

Then, focusing again, this Travelling Palace Cultivator gruesomely realized that the Demon Race's ranks stretched from the streets to the North City Gate, then from the gate to the wilderness beyond, with no end in sight.

In the next moment, his mouth gaped open, seemingly about to shout in surprise.

Swoosh!

At that moment, a silver glow streaked through the long night, directly piercing this cultivator's forehead.

His open lips twitched and closed powerlessly, his eyes suddenly turning deathly white, the whites eclipsing his black irises.

Subsequently, his body trembled before falling helplessly backward, collapsing straight to the ground like a puddle of mud.

The one who struck was a Demon Race with a face covered in peculiar silver patterns.

He looked at the Travelling Palace Cultivator on the ground like a heap of mud, his dark golden eyes showing no intense killing intent, nor disdain or mockery, but only a cold indifference down to the bone.

He touched the silver patterns on his face, raised his head, and looked inside the Dragon City Pass, standing on the border, keeping the Demon Race out for twenty thousand years, and gave a cold laugh.

Most people believed that if the Demon Race wanted to breach the strong city gates of the Human Race and enter the Human Realm, it would take centuries of hard fighting and unimaginable sacrifices.

Even the Demon Race shared this belief.

Except for their Heart Demon clan....

They never thought this way.

The most impregnable gates were often breached from within.

So they laid out plans for so many years, scheming meticulously, finally achieving today's bloodless breach.

However.... Breaching the city is just the beginning.

He glanced again at the distant buildings, his face covered in silver lines showing no change, just waving his hand backward.

"Dong Qi Demon Lord." Beside him, standing still, the Rinsing Spirit Sect Cultivator presented a map of the inside of Dragon City Pass.

The Demon Cultivator known as Dong Qi Demon Lord looked seriously at the layout and defense measures drawn on the map, silent.

Their smooth passage into Dragon City Pass without any hindrance naturally relied on the Rinsing Spirit Sect.

However, within Dragon City Pass were not only the Rinsing Spirit Sect but Cultivators from other major sects in the Central Spirit Domain, even some Loose Cultivators.

If they did not kill these people, the Demon Race could not truly control Dragon City Pass, nor could they march their army into the Central Spirit Domain, let alone perform Soul Snatching.

Dong Qi Demon Lord frowned slightly, thinking about the recent Blood Slaughter in Chang'an, the Knowledge Tower taken over by the Shui Yue Pavilion Master, and the many exposed Underworld Cultivators.

If not for these events, they would have been more prepared and could have made this "Soul Snatching" battle more perfect.

But victory would ultimately belong to them; no one can stop it.

Once they finish killing all the other Cultivators within Dragon City Pass tonight, this fortress that blocks their Demon Race for thousands of years, regarded by the Human Race as a barrier, will become a bridgehead for their Heart Demon clan to conquer the Central Spirit Domain.

What could be dissatisfying about that?

Looking at the Dragon City Pass shrouded in night, the scattered buildings under the moonlight, then back at the large number of Demonic Cultivators and the Rinsing Spirit Sect Cultivators waiting for orders, Dong Qi Demon Lord's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Finally, he concluded his thoughts and issued the command.

Soon, the Demonic Cultivators spread out rapidly, moving to various directions within Dragon City Pass along the scattered streets.

......

In the southeastern part of Dragon City Pass, here lies the settlement of several top sects.

The Rinsing Spirit Sect is strong, the Taoist Sect of the Central Spirit Domain, guarding both the North and West City Walls with a single sect.

Additionally, the East City Wall of Dragon City Pass is jointly guarded by the four top sects of the Central Spirit Domain.

As for the last, the South City Wall, it faces the Central Spirit Domain.

Enemies could not possibly come from the Central Spirit Domain, so it clearly requires less deployment.

Hence, the sect guarding the South City Wall is only one, the strongest Sword Cultivator Sect in the Central Spirit Domain, the South Sword Pavilion.

During this time, due to the Heart Demon's significant actions, even on the South City Wall, there are shadows of people moving about.

The Sword Master of South Sword Pavilion, the deputy Sect Master, Chang Ancient Sword Master, stood atop the city wall.

He glanced towards the North City Wall direction that he couldn't see clearly, rubbed his brows, feeling extremely dull in his heart, his eyelids twitching as if something ominous was about to happen.

.....

At the very heart of Dragon City Pass, there are four palaces shrouded in mist all year round.

These four palaces are named after the four spirits: Vermilion Bird Palace, Xuanwu Palace, Azure Dragon Palace, and White Tiger Palace.

The owners of the palaces are four Honorable Realm Cultivators of the Rinsing Spirit Sect.

At this moment, three of these Honorable Realm Cultivators are gathered in the Azure Dragon Palace.
