The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Following the lead of the Hidden Moon Sect in their retreat, the other sects also began their withdrawal one after another.

Everyone retreated in different directions, which clearly indicated that they had discussed it beforehand in order to disperse the forces pursuing them from the demonic path.

At the Spirit Beast Mountain's headquarters, two elders were meeting with a stranger dressed in black robes who was a Core Formation cultivator.

"When the time comes tomorrow, please have the two of you destroy the defensive formation. Once I send the signal, we can take Jingu Plain in one fell swoop!"

The black-robed cultivator was Elder Ge of the Yuling Sect, who was giving final instructions on the preparations.

Just then, a slight commotion arose outside the tent.

"What's going on? Someone come here!"

An elder from Spirit Beast Mountain frowned slightly, shouted loudly towards the outside of the tent.

"Elder! Something terrible has happened! The disciples have discovered that large spirit ships from other sects have set sail, and there are quite a few of them, causing widespread panic among the disciples."

A disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain entered, immediately knelt on the ground, and loudly reported.

In fact, most of the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain were unaware that their own sect had betrayed them and defected to the enemy. Their panic stemmed from the fear that other sects would retreat, leaving them alone and helpless.

"What! Has the plan been leaked?!"

The two elders from Spirit Beast Mountain changed their expressions and hurriedly flew out of the tent to look at the other sects' encampments.

Countless spirit boats were taking off, creating a spectacular scene, as if they had planned it all along.

"Why didn't they notify us when they were retreating? Does that mean we've been exposed?!"

A Core Formation elder from Spirit Beast Mountain looked grim and spoke with some uncertainty.

"No! We can't wait until tomorrow, the plan must begin immediately!"

"Elder Ge! We will destroy the defensive array immediately. Please notify all the major sects to begin the pursuit!"

An elder from Spirit Beast Mountain immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly spoke to Elder Ge.

"Good! Let's act immediately without delay!"

Elder Ge also recovered from his surprise and spoke decisively.

In a short while, the defensive array controlled by Spirit Beast Mountain shook violently, and a beam of spiritual light shot into the sky.

The defensive array that covered the entire Jinguyuan defense line was also shaking, its light flickering, and it could collapse at any moment.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire defensive array began to collapse, starting from the Spirit Beast Mountain side, from the inside out.

At the same time, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the inscription of the Six Demonic Sects in the night sky.

……

"What's going on?! The plan has been moved up?"

Wang Chan frowned slightly as she looked at the blood-red inscriptions in the sky.

"Hmph! The information must have been leaked. Immediately pass the word down and proceed with the plan!"

Tian Buque's alluring figure appeared not far from Wang Chan, and he spoke in a cold voice.

A figure flashed past behind him, clearly another Core Formation cultivator.

Soon, the demonic army stormed into the territories of the various sects in Jin Gu Yuan.

Because many cultivators from the six major sects had already withdrawn, the resistance was not strong, and the demonic path easily advanced into the territory of the six major sects.

Meanwhile, many disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain were suppressed by their own elders, and those who disobeyed were directly killed.

Most of the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain valued their lives, and since becoming a traitor had become a fact, they could only accept it helplessly.

Meanwhile, the Core Formation cultivators from the six major sects, including Qiong Laoguai, stayed behind to hold back the Core Formation cultivators of the demonic path, buying time for their own sect's disciples to retreat.

As for demonic cultivators below the Core Formation stage, they can only leave it to their own sect's disciples to fend for themselves.

“These old guys will naturally be taken care of.”

"Tian Buque and Lian Feihua, how about a competition?"

Wang Chan glanced at the battlefield in the distance where spiritual light was constantly appearing, then smiled and turned to look at Tian Buque and Lian Feihua.

"Hehehe, it seems you're quite confident, Wang Chan. Breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage really makes a difference."

Tian Buque glanced at Wang Chan with great interest; her eyes, like peach blossoms, were incredibly alluring.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chan felt a chill run down her spine, and suddenly thought of a certain powerful man who was attracted to both men and women.

"Hehehe~ Alright, let's wager a talisman, how about it?"

Lian Feihua covered her mouth and smiled, then made a suggestion.

For these second-generation disciples of sects, a single talisman treasure, while not exactly a loss, is still a considerable gamble.

"Alright! Since you, Lian Feihua, are in such a refined mood, I will naturally accompany you."

Tian Buque smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"In that case, I won't keep you company."

"Ghost Guards! Follow me in pursuit!"

Excitement gleamed in Wang Chan's eyes. With a loud shout, she led more than twenty elite members of the Ghost Spirit Sect away quickly.

Tian Buque and Lian Feihua were not far behind, each leading their own people to chase after the people from the six factions.

……

Lu Yao, standing calmly atop the large spirit boat at the head of the retreating group of the Hidden Moon Sect, was present.

With the loss of Jingu Plain, most of the Yue Kingdom will likely fall into the hands of the Six Demonic Sects, and as time goes by, their defeat is only a matter of time.

The result was either evacuation from Yue or being worn down by the demonic forces.

In the original story, the Hidden Moon Sect withdrew from the Yue Kingdom and settled down in the Northern Liang Kingdom.

Lu Yao naturally wouldn't retreat with the Hidden Moon Sect, and he didn't even plan to return to the Hidden Moon Sect.

Because once you return to the Hidden Moon Sect, it will be difficult to get out again.

If Lu Yao remembered correctly, the Hidden Moon Sect closed its doors and secluded itself for a long time after the demonic invasion of Yue Kingdom before finally withdrawing.

Therefore, Lu Yao planned to escort the retreating disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect to the vicinity of the sect's main gate before leaving alone and using the teleportation array in the mine to leave Tiannan.

"They caught up so quickly?"

Lu Yao frowned slightly. With his Core Formation stage divine sense, he immediately detected a group of demonic cultivators rapidly approaching.

There was no way around it; although the large spirit ships were not slow, these demonic cultivators were clearly well-prepared and were all equipped with magical artifacts that allowed them to escape at extremely high speeds.

"Activate the defensive array and prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Lu Yao's voice echoed across the three large spirit ships of the Hidden Moon Sect, and immediately three transparent spiritual energy shields were formed.

"Oh? You were discovered. You reacted pretty quickly."

A cloud of pink smoke quickly caught up with the spirit boat of the Hidden Moon Sect, and a clear, cold voice came from within the pink smoke.

As the smoke cleared, Tian Buque and his companions were revealed.

"Someone from the Hehuan Sect?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly. From the clothing worn by the newcomers, he immediately recognized the origins of Tian Buque and his companions.

Many Hehuan Sect disciples died at Lu Yao's hands on the battlefield of Jingu Plain, so they had some understanding of the sect.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are usually male and female, somewhat similar to the Yanyue Sect. They use a Yin-Yang combined attack technique, which is quite powerful.

"If you come out and surrender, I might consider sparing your lives. Otherwise, once this defensive formation is broken, it will be the time for you to perish."

Tian Buque sneered. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried to all the spirit boats.
