This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Compared to the widespread defenses of Great Xia, dividing forces for multiple defensive tasks, the Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation set up by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Central Spirit Domain is unique, thus its strength is more concentrated.

However...

Daoist Yunxuan, combining information obtained from secret channels within the sect, can confirm that there are no Nine Realms Cultivators in Black Cloud Mountain.

In fact, there's no need to ascertain it unnecessarily.

——Who would let a Nine Realms Cultivator guard a Teleportation Array?

A Black Cloud Mountain without a Nine Realms Cultivator to guard it can absolutely not stop him and the cultivators he brings!

Daoist Yunxuan was extremely confident.

The opportunity not taken up will surely bring disaster. The Human Race occupies such a good piece of land, yet is so weak, lacking in virtue, and deserving of such a fate.

Good things should be left to the strong.

Opportunities are only for those with ambition. The Heart Demon Tribe, being able to strike first before the other Seven Great Holy Demon Clans, requires extraordinary courage.

Because should any part of the plan go awry, they would have to face the encirclement of the Seven Domains Human Race on the front lines, and from behind, there's a high chance of being sabotaged by the Seven Great Holy Demon Clans.

"Elder Yunxuan, the time has come." At this moment, a short and stout male cultivator said to Daoist Yunxuan.

In the Rinsing Spirit Sect, Daoist Yunxuan holds the position of Elder,

Over such a long time, the Heart Demon Tribe has grown accustomed to referring to each other by Human Race identities. Even now, as the plot comes to a head, they have not changed this habit.

"Then let's make our move. Let's not waste too much time on little Black Cloud Mountain," Elder Yunxuan laughed heartily.

Though he spoke lightly, he never underestimated Black Cloud Mountain.

The Heart Demon Tribe never misses an element in their plans.

"The time for attack has come, give it your all, ensure every effort is made in unison. Do not let anything go wrong to jeopardize the grand scheme!" Elder Yunxuan's eyes flashed fiercely as he shouted.

"We comply with Elder Yunxuan's command!" The other "Rinsing Spirit Sect cultivators" his subordinates brought responded in unison.

On the first morning of the eighth year of Tianyuan, as the sun had just begun to rise, outside Black Cloud Mountain, Elder Yunxuan led a group of cultivators and launched an offensive against Black Cloud Mountain.

The attack was comprehensive. Under the command of Elder Yunxuan, his cultivators and their respective beast pets formed a massive force, attacking the Mountain Protection Array of Black Cloud Mountain from multiple directions simultaneously.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, Thunderclap Mountain echoed with sounds, and the ground quaked and the mountains swayed,

Inside Black Cloud Mountain, in a quiet chamber, a tall and thin Daoist was sitting cross-legged alone on a meditation mat.

"They have come," the tall and thin Daoist's eyes sparkled at the moment of the vibration, "The traitors of Rinsing Spirit Sect have entered the fray!"

Immediately, the tall and thin Daoist's figure flashed and he left the quiet chamber, appearing in the outside world.

Along with him appeared more than ten cultivators wearing golden Taoist Armor.

The Taoist Armor on these cultivators was adorned with closely packed scales, overlapping neatly and solidly together.

Under the early morning light, they shimmered with golden brilliance like gold scales.

This style of armor, in the mundane world, is called scale armor, worn only by officers as high-level armor.

In the world of cultivators, it naturally couldn't be just simple armor but engraved with many Taoist patterns, having various mystical properties.

Nevertheless, this Taoist Armor is also only for High Realm cultivators as high-level Taoist Armor.

This is the uniform Taoist Armor of the Golden Scale Guard of Heavenly River City.

These cultivators were the Golden Scale Guard.
