Chapter 809 Preparing for Internal and External Troops Before They Develop (Part 1)

Hanako Ryu sat upright in his chair, looking at his disciples. Twenty-one Rejuvenation Core disciples stood in neat rows below.

Inside the sleeping quarters, the energy of many Rejuvenating Pills mingled together, causing Hanako Ryu to frown slightly.

Outside the main hall, even more disciples at the Divine Transformation Realm arrived.

"Our sect has been attacked. Please give orders immediately, Chief."

"It must be Nongyue from the Black Blood Cult who has arrived. Set up the formation so that this fellow has nowhere to escape."

"Elder Yang is currently locked in a fierce battle with Nongyue, working together to kill this fiend..."

"This Elder Yang seems to possess some kind of sword-cultivation supernatural abilities..."

The disciples inside the hall were all talking at once, and no one could agree on what to do.

Hanako remained silent. The people below him were his trusted disciples, all of whom were elites within the sect.

Given time, the person in this hall will rise to his current position, take charge of the future of the Longevity Sect, and together with the Six Desires Demons within the sect, become the foundation of the Longevity Sect.

"Master, please activate the formation."

came a voice.

"Yes, Master."

“That scoundrel Nongyue has a deep grudge against our sect. We must not let him escape today.”

The Great Array of the Longevity Sect's Mountain Gate was set up over many years, with several main halls within the sect as its core, and Hanako-ryu's sleeping quarters being one of them.

Once the various central points are opened, the Nine Heavens Absolute Net will be deployed, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Even a True Immortal of Longevity would not dare to say that he could easily escape.

Hanako Ryu's face was ashen as he glanced at the faces of all the disciples in the hall.

Perhaps it's too early, but it's just right.

"The patriarch has given an order; you shall kneel and listen."

Many of the pill-rejuvenating pills knelt down in unison, and an inexplicable atmosphere permeated the hall.

"By the decree of Patriarch Dan Chenzi, and the order of Patriarch Lingkong, the rebellious Ma Yi has colluded with the Northern Demonic Sect to massacre the Wu Wang Zhenren in the outer void, causing havoc to our sect. All our disciples must punish him."

Hanako Ryu didn't recite it very quickly, and when he finished reading the command, the hall was deathly silent.

The people below who were practicing alchemy looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

The news was truly shocking.

Is the decree of Dan Chenzi still alive? Wu Wang Zhenren was murdered, and our sect's Six Desires Demon was actually killed by another Six Desires Demon?

The Venerable Lingkong's decree was a signal for a bloodbath, but was it happening at this very moment?
The Black Blood Cult has already come knocking on our door, and its leader, Nongyue, has a deep-seated grudge against Hanako-ryu.

What hatred in this world could be worse than harming someone's path?
Hanako remained silent as well.

He had just learned of this news, and if he hadn't repeatedly confirmed it, he wouldn't have dared to imagine that it was an order personally issued by Venerable Lingkong.

Internal strife isn't the problem, but now? Joining forces with the Black Blood Cult?

There are some things that Hanako-ryu hasn't told the people below yet.

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes was tricked into going to the outer void this time.

Venerable Lingkong invited him to meet outside the realm, and the Black Blood Demon accompanied him.

That fellow has already mastered the Blood Nerve Technique and is waiting to use the life of a True Immortal to prove its power.

Moreover, this time the helpers are not just the Black Blood Cult.

The key to victory or defeat lies in time; the fight inside the gate must be ended before those behind the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes can react.

Hanako looked at his disciples below; he wasn't going to give them any more time.

He didn't even tell Helian Qianqiu, who was on duty that day, the news.

Some things shouldn't be thought about too much, such as why Venerable Lingkong suddenly told him this, without even leaving behind many instructions.

There could be many explanations, but the most reasonable one is Lingkong Venerable's distrust.

Hanako Ryu could understand this suspicion. After all, if he were in the outer realms, he wouldn't believe that those disciples who had survived under the fierce power of the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes wouldn't betray him.

Any moment of hesitation could lead to betrayal.

Speed ​​is the most important thing.

Now it's time for these people to make a decision. Hanako Ryu is prepared; if anyone refuses, he will immediately send that person to see Aoto Kokun. There's no turning back now.

"Disciple accepts the order."

A trembling voice rang out from the crowd.

Hanako looked up and saw that it was indeed the spy she had planted.

This initial "Disciple accepts the order" was merely the beginning; what followed were increasingly resolute and fervent responses of acceptance.

"To repel external threats, we must first secure internal stability; to prevent disaster, we must act before it occurs. You need not pass on these instructions to your disciples; simply lead them out to fight."

Hanako Ryu stood up, his eyes flashing with demonic light.

"You shall lead your disciples and follow me in attacking and killing."

One finger is extended forward.

"This enemy is Hua Gu. If you break into the Ancestral Master's Hall, you must not let them set up the magic array. Once the Ancestral Master kills the traitor Ma Yi, you will have performed a great service."

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Charge into the Ancestral Hall and behead the traitor Hua Gu!"

Many of the dantian present also knew that there was no turning back for them.

If the Venerable Lingkong is defeated, what awaits them?
This is the ruthless Longevity Cult. If Venerable Lingkong is defeated, the Ma Yi faction will take everything from them, and they will not let the Ma Yi faction go either.

If they oppose in the palace, they will face the Hanako school's executioner's blade. Even if they shirk their duties or betray the party midway, they will still be purged by the vengeful Mako faction.

The best option is to kill.

Slaughter the entire Ma Yi faction.

As for whether it's right or wrong, that's never important.

This is the destiny of those who belong to the Demonic Sect.

Hua Ziliu knew all this, and so did the Huan Dan disciples.

"In that case, let's kill them."

Hanako Ryu walked out of the palace gate and looked up at the battle in the sky.

His former enemies and allies were there, but none of that mattered now.

A person can only rely on themselves.

The demonic sound surged forth, penetrating straight into the mind and spirit.

"kill."

Hanako gave the order.

"Charge into the Ancestral Hall and wipe out all rebels."

The cultivators who had attained the elixir of immortality each led their disciples, forming teams according to the established lineage of their cultivation.

All of this didn't even require prior preparation, because lineage was the most basic organizational form within the Longevity Sect.

Hanako looked coldly at the Ancestral Hall located at the summit.

The towering buildings are still faintly visible.

He once regarded it as a sacred place with utmost reverence, and imagined the celestial appearance of the Ancestral Master Qing Tong Xiao Jun when the ancient Heavenly Court was at its peak.

None of that matters now.

Success or failure, life or death, is no longer in our own hands.

“Disciples, there is only progress, no retreat.”

With a command, Hanako Ryu shot out like an arrow, heading towards the Ancestral Hall.

He could sense that Hua Gu was not there at that moment.

As long as the node of the Ancestral Hall is not opened, the mountain-protecting formation is like a dragon without a head. Even if the remaining nodes are opened, without this central hub, they cannot form a combined force.

It's ridiculous.

A smile appeared on Hanako's lips.

They actually want to destroy all of this together with Nongyue.
