Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1638: Chapter 1638 Internal Strife

The elders and First Elder had spoken, and the elders who held this thought were in the majority. Knowing that there was no point in arguing, they had no choice but to comply.

Some of the elders did not think much about it and were ready to fight to death with the sect.

However, some elders did not want to die here. Like those disciples who abandoned the sect, they only cared about their own survival.

Therefore, they went against by leaking the news and urged disciples to rebel and escape.

When the disciples who wanted to leave received the news, they indeed gathered together and intended to break the mountain-protecting formation. But they were stopped by the loyal disciples of the sect, resulting in immediate bloody combat.

Some of the elders and disciples who wanted to escape rushed to the control center of the mountain-protecting formation. freewёbnoνel.com

The First Elder, along with the sect-loyal elders and disciples, guarded the mountain-protecting formation while they battled. Even without Ye Liuyun intervening, the Lingguang Hall had already descended into chaos.

The Dracaena siblings, who were responsible for gathering intelligence, relayed the news of the internal strife in the Lingguang Hall to Ye Liuyun.

"Such a sect will be destroyed sooner or later! We are only accelerating their downfall!" Ye Liuyun sighed.

He did not hasten his fleet but maintained their original pace.

Even if some people managed to escape, he wouldn’t care. He wouldn’t pursue them either.

He just didn’t expect the Lingguang Hall to be so ruthless, going so far as to stop their own disciples from escaping.

The internal strife of the Lingguang Hall quickly quieted down.

Those who wanted to escape were the minority and were quickly eliminated. The others, even if they harbored such intentions, dared not show it anymore.

All the elders and disciples of the Lingguang Hall also began to prepare for battle, waiting for Ye Liuyun’s attack.

Ye Liuyun’s warship had arrived but did not rush to attack.

After setting up the Spacious Dragnet, he directly asked the First Elder, "You knew I was coming, why didn’t you escape?"

In his heart, he hoped that the Lingguang Hall would disperse and flee, which would save them effort, reduce losses, and achieve the goal of annihilating Lingguang Hall.

But the First Elder thought that Ye Liuyun was playing with them, "You’ve already controlled the entire Central Continent, where can we escape?

Say no more, get on with it! If you are capable, kill all of us! But one day, you devil cultivators will be destroyed by the united forces of other sects!"

"Is that so?"

Ye Liuyun helplessly chuckled, no longer wasting words with him, and directly ordered a bombardment by Qin Peng.

Three hundred warships fired together, and Lingguang Hall’s mountain-protecting formation couldn’t stand it for even a quarter of an hour before completely collapsed.

They also didn’t have enough resources to maintain the operation of the formation anymore. Their previous hall master had already surrendered all the resources to Ye Liuyun.

After the warships broke the mountain-protecting formation, they didn’t stop the attack. Instead, they divided into three echelons with each bombarding different positions of Lingguang Hall.

The close-range warships were to block the Lingguang Hall disciples who wanted to charge over for close combat, the mid-range was mainly to bombard the area where the Lingguang Hall disciples were gathered, and the long-range was mainly to bombard the Lingguang Hall buildings.

Hundreds of ninth-level Sacred Majesty Yin-soul and feral beasts were defending the warships, making it impossible for the powerhouses of Lingguang Hall to attack the warships at all.

This formation alone could directly destroy Lingguang Hall, without the need to deploy disciples of the Devil Lord Sect.

Lingguang Hall wasn’t a strong sect. They only had a few tens of thousands of disciples in the sect whose abilities weren’t strong, and the strength of their Elders was far inferior to the Dragon-fighting Sect and the Myriad Sword Sect.

After several rounds of bombardments, Lingguang Hall had already suffered heavy losses.

Ye Liuyun observed the situation was quite under control and thus called a halt to the ship’s bombardment.

"Leave some for the disciples to practice!"

He then waved his hand, and the Yin-souls and feral beasts of the Sacred Majesty realm surged forward first, followed closely by the disciples of the Devil Lord Sect.

"These sects seem powerful, but they aren’t actually all that!" Qin Peng expressed to Ye Liuyun.

"They were indeed strong, but they lacked a sense of crisis and never thought they would be subjected to such an attack! Confronting the warship with their flesh and blood is akin to seek death!" Ye Liuyun explained to Qin Peng.

The way an army attacks was different from the methods martial practitioners used. They were simply unprepared, which was not to say that they were weak.

In fact, if it came to close combat, a hundred-thousand-strong army might not necessarily be a match for an ordinary sect.

Hence, Ye Liuyun immediately reminded Wu Qingcheng, "The protective formation of the Devil Lord Sect needs to have the ability to counteract army attacks and also consider scenarios where different sorts of attacks are launched. Moreover, drills should be carried out periodically. We can’t be too complacent!"

"Alright!" Wu Qingcheng noted down all these points, planning to make improvements once she returned.

The mineral veins and energy of the Devil Lord Sect were abundant and fully capable of supporting such a defensive system. What they needed was just time.

"So, what’s the next move? Do we continue rushing to the next sect in a straight line?" Qin Peng inquired.

He thought such straightforward attacks were rather dull.

"The upcoming sects are of even weaker strength, you can make the call!"

Finding this matter not interesting, Ye Liuyun decided to leave the planning to Qin Peng.

After the battle ended, Qin Peng commanded the fleet to rest where they were for a day.

They were quite close to their next target. However, they were concerned that their disciples might not have fully recovered, resulting in significant casualties.

A day later, Qin Peng divided the fleet into four teams, advancing in four different directions.

All forces on the Central Continent, while amazed that Ye Liuyun had destroyed another sect, were also puzzled.

"What is Ye Liuyun up to?"

They observed Ye Liuyun’s fleet’s direction, not returning, but instead continuing to advance. freeweɓnovel.cøm

But now that they had divided into four teams, they could not confirm where Ye Liuyun’s next attack target would be.

They also could not figure out whether Ye Liuyun was going to attack four small sects or encircle a rather powerful sect.

The sects in those four directions targeted by Ye Liuyun’s fleet were thrown into panic.

"We haven’t offended Ye Liuyun, and we haven’t killed any devil cultivators before. Why are they coming after us?" Some sects were very puzzled.

"Just for our little sect, only worth one of Ye Liuyun’s fleets! Why would he attack us?" Many small sects also began to worry.

Some sects, like the Lingguang Hall, even experienced disciples fleeing and internal strife.

But soon, the chaos ended.

This was because Qin Peng had already begun commanding the four-way fleet to ambush. Without needing half a day, another sect had been wiped out. Afterwards, Ye Liuyun’s fleet began to turn, demonstrating signs of a retreat.

"This guy actually employed tactics!" Many forces sighed.

They were already no match for Ye Liuyun. Now, with the fleet’s sudden change in style, growing more unpredictable, it was hard to guess Ye Liuyun’s real target.

"Now those targeted by him have neither a chance to run away nor surrender!" People began to guess.
