Chapter 2563: Chapter 528
The Sky Clan and Prison Clan attacking the Hundred Peaks Sect believed that since the Hundred Peaks Sect had Cao Zhen, they must have more resources, and possibly even Cao Zhen’s legacy.
A great clan, if they were alive, could not cultivate the legacy of another clan, but if that clan were exterminated, they could cultivate the other’s legacy.
This time, they aimed to annihilate the Human Clan so they could seize the Human Clan’s legacy. Although they couldn’t cultivate it immediately, once the Humans were entirely wiped out, they would be able to cultivate the Human Clan’s legacy.
However, upon entering the Hundred Peaks Sect and beginning their plunder, they were astonished to find that the entire sect had become empty.
Not a single disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect was to be seen, and all the resources that could be moved had been taken away.
"What’s going on here?"
"Why is there nothing here?"
"Where are the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect? Could it be that their disciples had already left?"
"Impossible! They couldn’t have known we would emerge from the dangerous lands, so how could they evacuate their disciples in advance? Moreover, where could they have gone!"
"But there’s truly no one here; we’ve searched everywhere and there’s absolutely nowhere to hide people!"
"The key isn’t whether people are hidden; where are their treasures? Their legacy? Why is there nothing here!"
"Everyone, come over here!"
Suddenly, a cultivator discovered something and called out, quickly drawing everyone to the source of the shout.
Soon, a great formation appeared in their view.
"This is a teleportation array!"
"Did they leave through this formation?"
"There are traces of activity everywhere around, with remnants of mana and celestial aura lingering in the void!"
"So, those Humans fought to the death outside to let their disciples escape?"
"Damn it, they must have taken all the legacy and resources with them!"
"We went through so much effort, lost so many cultivators, and barely captured the Hundred Peaks Sect, only for it to be an empty sect!"
"Those damned Humans, where could they have escaped to!"
"Who knows if they’d benefit other humans!"
"Let’s go, find another great sect!"
They scoured the place, and upon finding little of value, they left, flying towards distant places.
They weren’t the only group entering the Eastern Province; other cultivators were also attacking other great sects, looting their resources. Their delay in capturing the Hundred Peaks Sect meant that if they tarried further, other great sects would be completely plundered by other cultivators, and they’d end up with nothing.
Although they left, some cultivators felt dissatisfied, casting spells at the now-deserted Hundred Peaks Sect.
In an instant, bolts of lightning, flames, flowing water, and gusts of wind all rained down.
Particularly the flames, burning as if they could ignite everything, turning the Hundred Peaks Sect into a sea of fire from afar.
The other spells, like the lightning and the winds, vanished as the cultivators departed.
But the flames continued to burn.
Even though all the cultivators left, the flames in the Hundred Peaks Sect, fanned by time and igniting more buildings and trees, burned more and more fiercely, painting the skies above that world with fiery hues.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t just the Hundred Peaks Sect; other great sects within the Eastern Province were also breached by these alien races. After looting them, they almost always engaged in the same act—setting the mountains ablaze!
The Four Wilderness Sect, in the Eastern Province, was a very commonplace great sect, even among the weakest. The entire sect only had two cultivators of the True Immortal Realm.
At that time, after all the great sects from the Central Continent entered the Eastern Province, the Four Wilderness Sect unexpectedly gained notoriety, with many cultivators flocking not to visit them, but to pay homage to, and join the Illusionary Chaos Sect who shared the same gate with them!
The Illusionary Chaos Sect was a very renowned great sect throughout the Central Continent.
This great sect had a long and ancient history, although it had shown signs of decline after suffering severe losses in its last sect tribulation over the past hundred thousand years, it still held deep foundations.
Although the Illusionary Chaos Sect did not have experts in the Golden Immortal Realm, they had a presence of a top-tier half-step Golden Immortal. freёwebnovel.com
Moreover, a pinnacle half-step Golden Immortal.
Their sect leader had been a half-step Golden Immortal for countless years. In fact, before Zong Zhen the Immortal Lord became a Golden Immortal, there was much speculation about who would become the sixth Golden Immortal within the Human Clan!
No matter who was considered, no matter how the list was made, the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader was always among the top five candidates most likely to become a Golden Immortal.
The Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader not only had high cultivation, but his word held sway inside the sect. Almost every great sect had a sect hierarch and a supreme elder.
But the Illusionary Chaos Sect had no supreme elder.
Their leader was the one with the highest cultivation and had lived the longest within the great sect.
Because the Four Wilderness Sect was too weak, with only two True Immortal Realm cultivators, since sharing a gate with the Illusionary Chaos Sect, they entrusted their gate’s defense to the Illusory Sect.
