The people they intended to gather were almost all present.
Having stayed here for half a year, not only did people from three families bring their tribes, but many rogue cultivators and leaders from small sects and families also came, all seeking Wan Lei to incorporate their tribes, hoping to find a sliver of hope for survival in this Fate-Governing Land.
With more people, there was a mix of good and bad, and naturally, spies from other factions would infiltrate. The news of their gathering here could not be kept from the enemy.
Since the enemy knew they were gathering here, they would naturally assemble a large army and round up their own forces.
The enemy had more Grand Ascension stage cultivators. With the four great families and two rogue cultivators, the people from the four great families would surely go to their own elders for support.
The elders of the Huo family and the Kai Tian Sword Sect were killed by Wan Lei, making their hatred irreconcilable. Naturally, they would join the faction led by Liu Qinglin.
The remaining individuals were naturally some rogue cultivators.
These people, now desperate and with no way out, had to choose a faction to join if they wanted to leave this Fate-Governing Land.
On one side were the various families of the Lei Feng Realm, all peak powers with numerous Grand Ascension stage experts.
On the other side was the force led by Wan Lei, boasting two Grand Ascension stage cultivators, and Wan Lei’s Fang Xiaoyu also possessed Grand Ascension stage combat power.
In terms of apparent strength, the opposite side undoubtedly held the advantage. However, Wan Lei's side had a total of six Grand Ascension stage heads. Even if they couldn't win, escaping would allow them to enter the Great Wall and complete their mission.
This posed a dilemma for the rogue cultivators: which side should they choose to join?
Some chose the side led by the Liu family, trusting in the strength of veteran powerhouses.
Some chose to join Wan Lei’s side, believing that Wan Lei’s sudden rise and Fang Xiaoyu’s potential suggested he was destined for victory.
More people, however, chose to wait and see.
But by the time of the final decisive battle, they would have to make a choice. After all, no matter which side achieved victory through bloody struggle and hardship, they wouldn't bring those who did nothing to enter the Great Wall with them.
After all, why should we, who worked ourselves to death, bring you to enjoy the fruits of victory?
“Hurry and pack up, the army departs immediately, the decisive battle is about to begin.”
Wan Lei stood atop the great flag bearing his surname, shouting loudly towards the assembled encampments below, with the towering Zhen Hai Mountain behind him.
“The enemy is blocking the way ahead. They won’t let you go home. They want you dead.
“Get moving, tear apart the enemies in front of you, and send them all to hell!!!”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you home!”
Hearing Wan Lei’s cry, the various tribes also stirred, packing their belongings and tents. Da Feng Novel Network.
“Disperse, disperse, pack up quickly. Stop shouting about the Sacred Divine Beast Spirit. When the fighting starts, you’ll still have to rely on yourselves. This divine beast will bless you and descend divine grace to protect you.”
Gouzi waved its paws, retracting the lightning around its body, and also breathed a sigh of relief in its heart.
These past six months, having to perform every day was annoying. Finally, the battle was about to begin. Once the mission was completed, it could sleep soundly.
Delightful, thinking about it made it very happy.
Honestly, treating this dog grandpa like a donkey from the production team. You sleep soundly every day, and make Grandpa Dog work every day. It’s unfair.
Gouzi contentedly got up, preparing to fly towards the great tent.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the sky, followed by the earth shaking and the sky changing color!
BOOM!!!
This deafening sound made everyone stop what they were doing and look up.
In the sky, dark clouds rolled back, and a massive shockwave blew away the dark clouds, causing the purple rain in this area to miraculously stop for a moment.
The upper half of Zhen Hai Mountain completely collapsed, and countless rocks and debris rained down.
“Block!!!”
Wan Lei, standing the highest, roared with a pained cry. He immediately reached out, and a light curtain of lightning power appeared, shielding a large area.
However, how could his strength alone protect the encampments that stretched as far as the eye could see? Countless rocks smashed down. In an instant, the allied camps were thrown into chaos, with countless casualties.
Fang Xiaoyu flew out, along with Fang Jufeng, Chen Yijun, Wan Liuchuan, and an untold number of cultivators.
Everyone used their spiritual energy to form light curtains, finally protecting the entire allied camp area.
Rocks continued to fall, hitting the light curtains with clanging sounds.
Fortunately, most of the flying cultivators were above the Core Formation stage, so they wouldn’t be killed by falling stones.
After a moment, when the rocks finally stopped falling, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“ROAR!!!”
Just as everyone was speculating about why Zhen Hai Mountain had suddenly collapsed for no reason, a sky-shattering roar came from the broken mountainside of Zhen Hai Mountain.
Many low-level warriors felt their eardrums ache from the impact of the roar, with blood flowing from their ears.
“What is that thing?”
Everyone looked up, staring at the mountainside.
A colossal head appeared in people’s sight.
This was a Sacred Beast. Its single head alone was tens of feet large, covered in ferocious scales, with a menacing bone spur protruding forward on its forehead.
Its eyes were blood-red, its mouth filled with terrifying fangs, and a trace of fire escaped with every breath.
It walked to the mountainside, and people could finally see its full form.
This Sacred Beast was a thousand feet tall, with longer front limbs and shorter hind limbs. Its body was covered in scales, with erect bone spurs along its spine. On either side of its body were two folded fleshy wings.
“ROAR!!!”
The Sacred Beast roared at the sky again, then lowered its head, its blood-red eyes coldly looking down.
“That… that is a Sacred Divine Beast, the legendary beast that protects the grasslands, the Lin Peng Overlord!”
Wu Liangshu shouted in shock, and many people knelt down and kowtowed to the Lin Peng Overlord.
“Holy crap, the real thing is out.”
The imposter Gouzi was momentarily panicked. Its height of only twenty centimeters was no match for the other’s over three thousand meters.
“Don’t panic, everyone. That’s a bad Sacred Divine Beast. Don’t you see how many people it’s killed? Our Sacred Divine Beast is the good one. Everyone, step aside, and watch me kill it!”
Although Wan Lei said this, he produced the array bead of the Myriad Demon Formation.
This was the first Grand Ascension stage demonic beast he had encountered since leaving Lei Xinghai. If he didn’t subdue it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Wan Lei charged forward directly. If he was to fight it, he had to move away from here, otherwise, the mere aftermath of the attacks would kill many people.
Fang Xiaoyu followed without a word, as did Chen Yijun without hesitation. Fang Jufeng, seeing them go and with people around him looking expectantly, also flew over.
“Let’s go, we’ll go and see too.”
Wan Liuchuan led the group and flew over.
