890: Chapter 248_2 890: Chapter 248_2 Once Li Ke and the others learned of Little Beiyan’s current situation, they didn’t linger either and quickly found Nie Jie to inform him that remnants from the previous dynasty would soon attack the Hundred Peaks Sect.
In the past, Nie Jie had given off a somewhat comical impression.
After Cao Zhen had been absent from the Hundred Peaks Sect for a long time, Nie Jie took charge of the sect, becoming much more composed; moreover, no one had ever seen Nie Jie lose his temper.
However, upon hearing the conversation from Li Ke and his group, Nie Jie suddenly burst into boundless rage, instantly smashing the wooden table in front of him to pieces.
But soon, he calmed down again.
He knew he was now responsible for the entire Hundred Peaks Sect; he had to remain calm.
As his commands were issued one after another, the entire Hundred Peaks Sect sprang into action, and the high-ranking members of the sect came together.
Nie Jie, gazing at the gathered crowd, swept his eyes over each person before he finally let out a deep sigh and said, “Gentlemen, you must all be aware by now about the news of the previous dynasty’s remnants planning to attack our Hundred Peaks Sect.
However, gentlemen, you probably do not know that the remnants of the previous dynasty also know of Sect Leader Cao’s imminent return to our Hundred Peaks Sect, and even about the Sect Leader’s injuries—they are crystal clear on all of it.
Aside from the Sect Leader, only a few of us knew this information.
Clearly, there has been a traitor among us.”
“A traitor!”
“Scoundrel!”
“Who is it, who betrayed us!”
At these words, the high-ranking members of the Hundred Peaks Sect around burst into rage instantly, a few even casting suspicious glances around them.
Nie Jie, appearing quite helpless, raised a hand to gesture to everyone and said, “Gentlemen, the great battle is imminent, and now is not the time to doubt each other.
Actually, I shouldn’t have brought up this matter before the battle, but…”
Suddenly, Nie Jie stretched out a hand, pointing to his own chest and whispered, “Do you know?
I can’t help it!
I really can’t understand.
We have all been with the Hundred Peaks Sect since we were young; we grew up in the sect, and we have spent almost our entire lives here.
The Hundred Peaks Sect is our home.
I don’t understand why there are still those who would be traitors, betraying their own kin, their own Immortal Sect.
Traitor, do you not have any feelings at all?
Isn’t everything you have been given by the Hundred Peaks Sect?
Do you really want to see the Hundred Peaks Sect breached by the remnants of the previous dynasty, see your fellow disciples, who you live together with day and night, killed under their blades, see your master’s grave carelessly tossed aside?
To see the destruction of the Hundred Peaks Sect that birthed and raised you?
Do you not have a heart?”
Nie Jie did not shout loudly; he had already raged once before.
Now, his words were filled with disappointment, disappointment about the appearance of a traitor within the Hundred Peaks Sect.
As his voice fell, the surroundings fell silent for a time.
Suddenly, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, the sound of bells rang out.
“They’re here!”
“The remnants of the previous dynasty are attacking!”
At these sounds, one by one, the high-ranking members and experts stood up, rushing toward the sect’s mountain gate at once.
In the past, the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty had joined forces with the Sun Moon Demon Sect to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Now, more attackers were coming; among the crowd, one could even spot members of the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty.
The crowd immediately spotted three disciples clad in familiar attire!
“East Sea Mirage Tower, Star Moon Mansion, Void Breaking Sect, we from Hundred Peaks Sect haven’t even sought revenge yet, and you dare to come to our sect!”
Outside the lands of the Hundred Peaks Sect Immortal Sect, within the Great Lai Dynasty, Su Fangrong’s face showed a look of helplessness.
He did not wish for things to be this way.
But there was no choice, this time the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty had to come.
Having previously offended the Hundred Peaks Sect and having failed to breach it, they were on tenterhooks, understanding all too well that the Hundred Peaks Sect would eventually seek vengeance.
Now, a greater force, the force behind the Sun Moon Demon Sect, had sought them out to join forces to eliminate the Hundred Peaks Sect—this was their only chance.
By annihilating the Hundred Peaks Sect, the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty would not only gain the resources of the Hundred Peaks Sect but also no longer have to worry about facing its threats.
Of course, if they did not manage to eliminate the Hundred Peaks Sect, they would again suffer heavy losses, and that time, every Mansion Master, Sect Leader, and Island Master from their three great Immortal Sects would become sinners of their sectors!
He had even prepared for the worst scenario; if he could not return, then they would have to relocate their entire sect, Star Moon Mansion.
If they could not return, the Hundred Peaks Sect must have triumphed, and it was certain that the Hundred Peaks Sect would attack them in turn.
Thus, he had made arrangements for what would follow; if they could not return, they would relocate.
Only by relocating their entire sect could the flame of Star Moon Mansion possibly be preserved.
Of course, that was the worst-case scenario; now, with so many at the Golden Core Stage, with so many masters attacking the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was more likely that they would emerge victorious.
Among the crowd, the leader was a stern-faced man carrying a long saber on his back.
Upon hearing the accusations coming from within the Hundred Peaks Sect, he didn’t even bother to listen, but merely raised his hand toward the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect and coldly commanded, “Attack!”
Instantly, all the Golden Core Stage cultivators trained by the remnants of the former dynasty, along with all the remaining Golden Core Stage practitioners from the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, unleashed their full combat power and their Divine Skills as they launched their attack on the Hundred Peaks Sect.
