Chapter 1574 Women Change All the Time
“Coo.”
The ethereal sound was a testament to what horror meant.
The Ancient Cursed Roc knew many incantations.
The dark fog, like a hurricane, whistled forward.
It was extraordinarily fast.
Whoever was swallowed by the black fog, except for those in the Mastery Realm and a few in the Integration Realm, was all reduced to dried bones. Their flesh and blood were corroded and their souls were devoured.
The power of the Ancient Cursed Roc shocked the world.
“That, that’s a Roc!”
“Oh my G.o.d, what a war machine. Zhang Hanyang has a Roc, a living Roc.”
The First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect and the others in the distance all gasped.
As an extremely terrifying creature, the Roc was easy to distinguish. The key was that it was called a war machine and the king of destruction.
The Strange Beast King was at the Tribulation Stage when it was born.
Even among the others at the Tribulation Stage, it was at the top level.
After Tiny Tot appeared, a large number of disciples of the Black Dragon Palace were devoured by the wind and clouds.
Tiny Tot was very good at this kind of melee. It couldn’t be said to be good at it, but it had a big appet.i.te and could devour a lot of enemies.
Even though Dahei had evolved into King Kong, its destructive power was still nothing compared to that of Tiny Tot.
“The enemies have a Roc.”
“Hurry and suppress it!”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Many masters in the Mastery Realm surrounded Tiny Tot.
But how could Hanlong and others let them get what they wanted?
Just now, they didn’t want to be delayed, but now they wanted to take the initiative to stall their enemies.
However, the other side had more people than them, so they couldn’t stop them.
They watched their enemies fly toward Tiny Tot.
“Coo.”
Tiny Tot was not afraid at all.
“What the h.e.l.l are they?”
Although it couldn’t eat these people on its own, it had nothing to be afraid of.
In the face of so many attacks, Tiny Tot was lost in thought again.
When those attacks landed on its skin, it hurt a little.
“Coo.”
Tiny Tot’s eyes lit up. Its wings trembled, and rays of multicolored light blocked many of the enemies attacks.
“How dare you bully my brother?”
Dahei didn’t want to show mercy to them and was about to rush up to fight against the opponents who had reached the Mastery Realm.
It b.u.mped into one and punched him a few times, but it didn’t work. On the contrary, Dahei was in pain.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
Dahei roared and targeted some Dao Seeking Cultivators in the G.o.d Transformation Realm and the Void-refining Realm.
“I can’t defeat the ones in the Integration Realm and the Mastery Realm, but I surely will defeat you.”
After retreating a long distance, Dahei kept waving its fists on both sides.
Little Hei floated beside Mengmeng, motionless like a mountain.
It was as if everything going on had nothing to do with it.
“Coo.”
Tiny Tot displayed its power again. Monstrous black light devoured thousands of the enemies’ elites.
Similarly, Chu Qingyi of the Devil Shadow Clan moved in a strange way and killed countless enemies.
Kong Ling’er also contributed greatly by killing countless enemies in the Mastery Realm.
The number of soldiers on both sides was still severely dropping.
Everyone knew that as long as they persevered to the end and won, then the slaughter would only begin when the other side discarded their armor and weapons.
“Divine bow army, attack again!”
The rear troops of the divine bow army drew their bows and launched a few more rounds of attacks.
But it had little effect on the battlefield.
The battle between the two parties’ armies was very fierce.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the first ones that were defeated were the Tribulation Stage masters from the Black Dragon Palace above.
“I can’t leave!”
“What should we do, First Elder?”
More and more elders of the Black Dragon Palace found that they were firmly locked down by the formation.
At present, they had only two options. One was to run the formation completely and fight against the other party to the end, and the other was to risk their life to leave.
How to choose seemed to have been decided.
“Go all out to activate the great formation!”
The First Elder of the Black Dragon Palace made a desperate bet. At this time, he was also very confused. Why was the formation out of control? Why were they drawn to it?
“Elder, I can’t hold on any longer. The grand formation is absorbing my flesh power.”
“Elder!”
“Stop the formation!”
“First Elder, stop it now!”
The weakest one had just advanced to the Tribulation Stage and was anxious. He saw that the First Elder had not stopped for a long time when his Qi and blood were about to be swallowed up.
Therefore-
“AHH!”
With an angry roar, he activated the brilliance on his body and left the formation in an instant.
However, as soon as he left, the light in his eyes faded.
“First Elder, you… d.a.m.n you!”
This elder was dead, and his body floated in the void.
Clatter!
All the elders of the Black Dragon Palace were shocked.
“There’s something wrong with the formation set up by the other side. I can’t control the sealing formation.” First Elder sounded a little bitter, but he said firmly, “We can still run it. As long as we suppress the enemies, their formation inside will break on its own accord. Now, we can only survive if we fight to the end!”
“Suppress them!”
“Kill them!”
The eyes of these elders turned red. The formation they activated made Yue Wuwei slightly surprised.
He said lightly, “You’re quite capable.”
Their cultivation was nearly three levels inferior to his. If Yue Wuwei wanted to kill those enemies, he could do it in an instant.
He was trying to see if his grand formation was powerful enough.
“Forget it. I should end this now,”
Yue Wuwei fully activated the Triple Purity G.o.d-fiends Formation.
Clatter!
The light was s.h.i.+ning brightly, and energy was rising steadily.
“No, this is impossible!”
The First Elder of the Black Dragon Palace looked deathly pale as he finally panicked.
“He’s not at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage!”
“Is he at the fourth tier?”
“How could this be?”
These people felt a chill run down their spines.
“Devour!”
Yue Wuwei showed his power.
Zhang Han looked over. “Fine. You don’t need my help.”
The enemies had taken the bait. If they were really proficient in the array of formations, they might notice something wrong. Zhang Han also found that five or six elders had hesitated a few times before.
They were hesitant, but they didn’t leave.
This was their choice.
“AAAAH!”
Countless people were being eaten up by Yue Wuwei’s Tribulation Stage energy.
When it was exhausted, it began to absorb the blood essence energy.
Sizzle!
In a few seconds, more than 70 people at Tribulation Stage First Tier died.
The First Elder panicked, completely panicked.
He said in a hurry, “Senior, please don’t kill us. We can talk.”
“About what?” Yue Wuwei narrowed his eyes and refused to talk.
He continued to increase his strength.
The horrible suction force created by the Cosmos Sealing Formation and the Triple Purity G.o.d-fiends Formation killed the First Elder and the others.
Gurgle!
Ning Chen and the others swallowed hard.
They watched the two formations slowly dissipate.
They began to question what they had learned before.
“He killed them without fighting them.
“And completely annihilated them.”
Li Shan sighed with emotion.
“This is more difficult than fighting.” Yue Wuwei touched his beard and said, “If I fought, I could kill them with one or two strikes. It took me a long time to perform this formation. Alas, I won’t try it again. It’s boring. The array of formations is boring.”
Zhang Han was speechless.
The commotion caused by the war zone above was too intense.
“What?!”
“The elders are all dead?”
“How did they die?”
“c.r.a.p, we’re going to lose!”
In an instant, everyone from the Black Dragon Palace was terrified.
“Go and a.s.sist our men,” Zhang Han said to Ning Chen and the others.
“Okay.”
Ning Chen and the others had long wanted to take action, but unfortunately, the enemies had no more Tribulation Stage experts.
They reluctantly fought those enemies at the Peak Stage of the Mastery Realm.
After they advanced to the Tribulation Stage, they hadn’t fought yet.
They had never expected that the nine of them would be of no use in a battle against two major sects in the Galaxy.
It was too strange.
“Kill them!”
“They want to escape!”
“Go after them!”
Finally, the dawn of victory arrived.
Zhang Han’s armies were doing their best to kill the enemies.
At this time, Tiny Tot smacked its lips and ran to Dahei and Mengmeng. After flying a few laps, it turned into a stream of light and returned to Zi Yan’s wrist.
“I’m full. I’ll take a nap.”
More and more men from the Black Dragon Palace died at a high speed.
There were very few elites but many ordinary disciples who could escape.
Since their commanders were dead, they fled for their lives.
Some of the thousands of people in the rear seized the opportunity to enter a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Without waiting for the people behind them, they directly broke into the secondary s.p.a.ce and escaped.
What was even more stunning was that dozens of people flew into a king vessel and slipped away without waiting for their men.
They couldn’t afford to wait at all since they might be killed in a second if they waited a bit longer.
They escaped with all their might.
“Wait for me!”
“Wait for us!”
“d.a.m.n it! We need to take over a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p NOW!”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
One by one, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps left in a panic.
The Black Dragon Palace was utterly defeated.
“Did Zhang Hanyang’s men… win?”
The First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect and the others were dumbfounded.
“How could they be so powerful?”
“How did more than 100 Tribulation Stage experts die? I didn’t get it.”
“It seems to be the side effect of the array of formations. It’s strange. How could they make such a low-level mistake? What happened exactly?”
“They’re doomed. The Black Dragon Palace is over.”
“More than a hundred Tribulation Stage experts are dead. Taking the ones who got killed last time into account, the Black Dragon Palace now has very few Tribulation Stage masters left. It has really been destroyed. Zhang Hanyang and his armies successfully annihilated the Black Dragon Palace. Will the Prime Yang Palace fight them head-on?”
“They have the strength to establish themselves in the Southern Mountain Area. Alas… Fortunately, our sect was stopped by Kong Ling’er. We didn’t attack them together because of Mo Qinghan’s death. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would have suffered heavy losses now.” The First Elder felt terrified. He had some lingering fear and sighed with emotion. “It’s a mistake to underestimate one’s enemy. I believe that the people of the Prime Yang Palace won’t make such a mistake again. The two sects may be about to launch a war that will last for a hundred or even a thousand years.”
What he didn’t know was that in the inner court of the Prime Yang Palace, some elders, high-position officials, and protectors were gathering together.
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s go!”
“As long as there is life, there is hope. Our Sect Master and many elders have been killed by the Thunder Tribulation. Let’s leave as soon as possible while no one else knows about it.”
“We may come back to the Southern Mountain Area one day.”
“We can’t stay here for long. Inform the disciples to gather. We’ll pretend to attack and then evacuate directly from the Southern Mountain Area.”
The strongest ones sighed one after another.
“We could have destroyed Zhang Hanyang’s armies with the Black Dragon Palace, but… Alas, d.a.m.n the Thunder Tribulation, it’s so horrible. It’s so risky to go through tribulation, but there’s no turning back now.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Our Sect Master didn’t succeed in going through his tribulation, and so many elders died. Now, we should stay rational and run away. There’s no other way out. Even G.o.d is helping Zhang Hanyang’s men. They are really the chosen ones. We can’t fight them. We can’t.”
“We need to save our strength. What if we get to make a comeback?”
“Why return to the Southern Mountain Area if we can go to the center of the Galaxy?”
“Forget it. Now that our Sect Master is dead and the Prime Yang Palace exists in name only, you and I are now the backbone of the sect. We should change its name and develop the sect together.”
“…”
After the initial blow, they didn’t want to continue fighting, so the first thing they did was to leave.
Someone said that they could make a comeback, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that they could establish a new sect, and he could be a core member of the new sect, which was very nice.
Therefore, no one turned down the new proposal. They gathered the rest of the elite disciples and some ordinary disciples. They also took the treasure vault of the Prime Yang Palace with them. It looked like they were taking a magnificent expedition, but in fact, they were gradually leaving this sad place.
In this regard, the forces in the Southern Mountain Area didn’t even know about it and were ready to watch the fun.
“The battle is over.”
The First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect took a deep breath and said, “I’ll talk to Zhang Hanyang later and ask Kong Ling’er what she wants.”
“Zhang Hanyang is really at the Tribulation Stage Third Tier. It doesn’t matter if he has become her master.” The Second Elder nodded. “They are unstoppable, but as we all know, it’s easy to conquer but difficult to keep a territory. Perhaps they will cooperate with our Starlight Divine Sect in many aspects.”
“There’s no rush in this. Let’s see what the Prime Yang Palace thinks.”
“Oh, by the way, the Bai Family has led a team to settle in the three districts of the Prime Yang Palace and the five districts the Black Dragon Palace lost before and declare their sovereignty.”
“They’re quite fast, haha.”
The First Elder sneered and felt that things would not be so simple.
Nowadays, everyone in the world knew that Zhang Hanyang was not a pushover.
The battle slowly came to an end.
Under the witness of many high-position officials of other sects, this battle was destined to become a legend.
“Gather up the teams and report the situation of the battle.”
The square formations began to a.s.semble.
The cheers of victory continued.
However, some people suddenly found that their good teammates who had been communicating with them for several days were gone, so they couldn’t help but fall silent.
The atmosphere gradually became bleak.
“War.”
“This is war.”
Although they were happy to win, they also paid a lot of price. Even with the help of Zhang Hanyang and Yue Wuwei, two powerful leading figures, they could not avoid this situation.
Moments later, the high-position officials gathered together.
They stood in a corner of the void.
There were special people who collected the data.
“The First Army lost 3,205,000 people. The Second Army… lost a total of 69 million people.”
Two hundred million elites had fought a war with a natural advantage, and yet the number of people who had died was still depressing.
“We managed to kill two hundred million of the enemies’ elites and six hundred million of their ordinary disciples. All their Tribulation Stage experts are dead.”
There was a comparison of 70 million and 800 million.
It was terrifying and stunning.
Besides the cannon fodder of the other party, Zhang Han’s men killed 200 million elites, all of whom belonged to the Black Dragon Palace. Even some of the hidden elites had been dispatched and all of them had died. The number of elites of the two sects was much greater than what Liu Qingfeng had predicted.
70 million elites of Zhang Han’s men died, while 200 million elites of the other party died. This was the result of more powerful techniques.
“Victory!”
With a solemn look on his face, Yue Wuwei raised his right hand and roared at the top of his voice.
“Victory!”
“Victory!”
The armies began to respond.
After the sad atmosphere, the joy of victory swept over all the people present like a hurricane.
“Black Dragon Palace has been destroyed. We will rest and reorganize here for half a day. We’ll have a celebration party on the Azure Dragon Star where we’ll all drink together!”
The shouts of victory continued to resound through heaven and earth.
The spectators in the distance didn’t leave for a long time. They just stood there and watched.
“We won.”
“We won.”
Although the members of Mount New Moon were used to winning, they still felt very honored at this time.
“We won. The rest of the people of the Black Dragon Palace should have escaped in half a day. If nothing goes wrong, the Prime Yang Palace will also choose to escape. It can be said that the war is over, but there will be more problems we need to deal with,” Liu Qingfeng said.
Yue Wuwei said, “Just do what you need to do.”
He didn’t want to think about this kind of worrying thing, and neither did Zhang Han.
In the Cultivation World, they were used to being alone and had no interest in developing the major forces.
Liu Qingfeng was different. He used to be the leader of a business group and was used to worrying about handling business. In other words, he liked to plan and study the enemies when he was free. He had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
“Victory!”
Nina, Felina, Chen Changqing, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Liu Qingfeng said, they really won.
The remaining members of the Black Dragon Palace, including their Sect Leader, must have escaped.
Even if Zhang Han’s men went to chase after them now, they wouldn’t be able to stop them from escaping. They felt that they might as well give their enemies a rest for half a day. They would go to their headquarters for a celebration after those people left.
This was the first step to establis.h.i.+ng themselves in the Southern Mountain Area.
“All the high-position officials, come here for a meeting.”
Liu Qingfeng still had a lot of things to do, so he asked Hanlong and other high-position officials to hold a small meeting.
Zhang Han was free.
He was still looking at the messy void of the universe that was filled with dead bones and blood.
When there was a cosmic storm, it would wipe out the traces of this war.
In the distance, an aircraft slowly approached.
When Kong Ling’er discovered this, her expression changed. The First Elder had sent her a Designated Voice-transmitting Technique message.
Kong Ling’er shouted, “Uh… Master?”
“Yeah?” Zhang Han looked sideways at her.
At the same time, other people also fixed their eyes on her face.
“The First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect has arrived. He said that he has something to discuss with you,” Kong Ling’er said.
“Oh, okay.”
Zhang Han nodded slightly.
This was not a big deal.
After this battle, the spectators in the distance also learned of Zhang Han’s men’s strength. Normally speaking, no one would provoke them unless they were crazy.
Everyone returned to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
The aircraft that the First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect and the other four were riding in parked by the temporary storage s.p.a.ce of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and entered it.
“Although I’ve never seen you before, I’ve heard a lot about you, Zhang Hanyang. You’re very powerful.
“Congratulations on your great victory.
“I am the First Elder of the Starlight Divine Sect.”
“Nice to meet you.” Zhang Han nodded.
They greeted each other and sat down.
“I heard that Kong Ling’er has become your disciple. We came over for a visit. As a talent of our sect, she didn’t discuss this with us. It’s really inappropriate.” The First Elder pondered for a moment.
If it were in the past, he would have questioned Zhang Han. “d.a.m.n it, you killed Mo Qinghan of my sect and want to take Kong Ling’er away. Do you wish to die?”
But when he thought of the battle just now, he decided to hold back his anger.
If they really fought, it would be hard for him to defeat his opponents.
“As a disciple of another sect, it doesn’t matter that she becomes my disciple,” Zhang Han said calmly. “Also, she is now a nominal disciple. Why don’t you talk to her first? If she is unwilling to stay with us, she can leave at any time.”
As soon as he said that, Zhao Feng and the others wore strange looks on their faces.
Several disciples of Zhang Han, including Jiang Yanlan, Mu Xue, Chu Qingyi, and Zhao Feng, all had their own forces, more or less. Zhao Feng set up the security group, Mu Xue established the Luo Fu Sword sect, Jiang Yanlan established the Water Cloud Sect, and Chu Qingyi was from the Chu Family. Needless to say, the security group was established because of Mengmeng, and the members had sworn to serve Mount New Moon to their death. Both the Luo Fu Sword sect and Water Cloud Sect had lost their independence and joined the Mount New Moon. The Chu Family would soon become the same.
Now, there was the Starlight Divine Sect.
Zhao Feng thought at that time, “The Starlight Divine Sect is not small. It may take many years for it to become a member of Mount New Moon.
“This is weird. As long as a force makes contact with Mount New Moon, it will lose its independence.
“If possible, Zhang Han should be called a sect killer. He can eliminate the power of not only the enemy sects but also the sects of his forces…”
“Fine.”
The First Elder gave Kong Ling’er a look.
“I won’t leave. I’ve gone through a lot to become a nominal disciple,” Kong Ling’er said as she followed the First Elder to the side room. When she got up, she made her stance clear.
The First Elder and other elder’s faces darkened.
“f.u.c.k this. I didn’t ask you to quit being his disciple. Why are you so anxious?
“You’re partial to them now. Sure enough, women change all the time. Humph!”
They entered the room.
“You’ve gone too far, Kong Ling’er.”
The First Elder said angrily, “The Starlight Divine Sect has been taking care of you for so many years. Is this how you repay us?”
“Then what should I do? It took me a lot of effort to find Zhang Hanyang,” Kong Ling’er said grumpily. “I wanted to be his woman, but he didn’t agree. Now that I’ve become his disciple, I no longer have a chance to be together with him. I’m already very sad. Elder, why are you still blaming me?”
“So you think it’s my fault, don’t you?” The First Elder was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. “You’re so stubborn!”
Just by looking at her expression, one could tell that she was saying, “No matter what you say, I’ll stay this way.”
“Brother, calm down.” The Second Elder stood up and looked at Kong Ling’er kindly. “Let me ask you, are you planning to withdraw from the sect?”
“No. Didn’t my master just say that his disciples can stay in other sects?” Kong Ling’er replied.
“Alas!”
The First Elder patted his thigh hard and said, “This is infuriating. Can you say something that I’d like to hear?”
Kong Ling’er pondered for a moment before saying, “I won’t leave the sect.”
She meant the same thing by what she said but in different ways.
Seeing that the First Elder was furious, Kong Ling’er didn’t have the heart to continue provoking him.
“That will do. That will do.” The Second Elder acted like a peacemaker and said, “Our sect doesn’t mind if an outstanding disciple becomes someone else’s apprentice. Kong Ling’er, Zhang Hanyang is very powerful. You can go with him with peace of mind first and then go back to the sect every once in a while. Will that be okay?”
Kong Ling’er said, “Sure.”
“Then that’s all. Do you know any other information? Tell us, such as how they dealt with the Black Dragon Palace and the Prime Yang Palace. Remember, as the sect backing you, we can help you,” the Third Elder said.
“Well…”
Kong Ling’er hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s not a secret. The people of the Prime Yang Palace may have all escaped. It’s said that, um, it’s said that their Sect Master and many other people in the Tribulation Stage were killed by the Thunder Tribulation.”
“What?!”
The First Elder and the others were shocked.
“Many elders were killed by the Thunder Tribulation?”
They couldn’t figure it out. “How is that possible? Generally speaking, the Thunder Tribulation could only kill its host, right?”
“Forget it. Let’s talk to Zhang Hanyang directly.”
Kong Ling’er finally said something useful. “You might as well talk to Liu Qingfeng than my master. He is the president and chief commander of the armies.”
“Okay.”
After chatting for a while, the elders walked out of the room and exchanged a few polite words with Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei. Then, led by Kong Ling’er, they went to Liu Qingfeng.
“Nice to meet you. Please take a seat. Xiao Ling, make tea.”
Liu Qingfeng was very kind. With a smile on his face, he looked gentle.
In an instant, First Elder and the others felt welcomed.
They looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other’s eyes.
“He’s better at talking than Zhang Hanyang and the others. He’s more enthusiastic.”
