In the outside world, the impact of this battle was far more profound than he had imagined.

The mysterious expert that had suddenly appeared knocked back the three Void Realm experts and three Dao Artifacts of the Eight Desolate Sect with a single slash. This earth-shattering might was simply shocking.

One had to know that three Void Realm experts holding three Dao Artifacts were definitely not something ordinary Void Realm experts could compare to.

In the end, he was suppressed by someone. Could it be that the mysterious expert was an existence at the peak of the Void Realm?

Why would such a powerful figure suddenly appear in Cloud Continent? This matter was puzzling.

Cloud Continent was just an ordinary place. In history, there was only one Dao Realm expert, the grandmaster of Taihao Sword Sect.

Apart from that, there were basically no big shots.

Peak Void Realm existences were definitely peerless experts in the history of Cloud Province.

Could it be a genius who ran out to roam around, returned from his studies, and returned home in splendid clothing?

However, someone quickly came up with a new idea, and that was the purple broadsword.

The incredibly powerful purple broadsword was almost exactly the same as the legendary Eternal Demon Saber.

After the descendants of the Devil Ancestor appeared, the Purple Devil Saber began to spread throughout the world, becoming a hot topic for people to talk about in their spare time.

It was almost a landmark item.

As long as it appeared, it could basically be linked to the legendary figure, that was the Demon Ancestor Inheritor Li Qing.

“Could that person really be Li Qing? Why did such a legendary figure come to our Cloud Continent?” Someone was discussing.

“We haven’t confirmed it yet. After all, we haven’t seen the Eternal Demon Saber with our own eyes. We can’t tell that it’s him just by a guess.”

“Even if it’s really Li Qing, there’s nothing we can do about it. Such an earth-shattering figure is definitely not something we can afford to provoke.”

“The question is, why did Li Qing attack the Eight Desolate Sect? Could it be that he has a grudge against the Eight Desolate Sect?”

“What do you think? Could it be because of the Eight Desolate Sect’s Dao Artifacts? Li Qing has his eyes on the Eight Desolate Sect’s Dao Artifacts and wants to snatch them away!” Someone cried out in alarm and made such a guess.

“That makes sense. Dao artifacts are so precious. Any one of them is enough to become a treasure of a large faction! Rumor has it that Li Qing has several Dao artifacts in his hands. Perhaps he has a habit of snatching Dao artifacts!”

‘”The Eight Desolate Sect is also considered a powerful force. Ordinary treasures can also defend it. However, having so many Dao Artifacts makes people jealous. In the past, the Eight Desolate Sect stayed in the Lianyun Mountain Range well. With the protection of the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Array, no one could seize them. But now that they have escaped, there is no longer that reliance!”

Amongst the numerous discussions, they had come to several more credible conclusions.

That mysterious expert was most likely the legendary Demon Ancestor Inheritor Li Qing. Moreover, he had appeared in Cloud Continent, and his target was most likely the Eight Desolate Sect’s Dao Artifacts!

The news spread more and more widely, so that everyone believed it. The major powers couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as this Great Devil didn’t want to deal with them.

…

At this moment, the Eight Desolate Sect was completely silent.

After Patriarch Qingyuan and Patriarch Jinxuan escaped back to the Eight Desolate Mountains, they immediately put the three Dao Artifacts back in place and activated the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Array’s peak state. Only then did they calm down.

“Fortunately, we didn’t lose the Dao Artifact. Otherwise, we would be the sinners of the Eight Desolate Sect.” Patriarch Qingyuan sighed.

“Rumors have it that the mysterious expert is most likely the legendary Demon Ancestor Inheritor Li Qing. Senior Brother, what do you think of this matter?”

“What else can we do? Defend with all your might! The Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Array is not something that any cat or dog can break.” Patriarch Qingyuan was quite calm.

Reverend Jin Xuan waved his sleeve and Patriarch Youshui’s primordial spirit appeared. It seemed that the situation was extremely weak. If he didn’t find someone to take it away, it would probably dissipate very quickly.

After reaching a certain level, a Void Realm expert’s primordial spirit could leave his orifice.

However, there was a huge restriction. He could not leave his body for too long. Otherwise, the power of his primordial spirit would gradually dissipate until he completely died.

Therefore, once his body was destroyed, he had to find a new body as soon as possible so that he could survive.

Of course, the stronger the primordial spirit was, the longer it would survive outside. This depended on the situation.

After seizing the new body, there would inevitably be some incompatibility between the primordial spirit and the physical body, and a strong rejection reaction would occur.

More importantly, his entire body’s cultivation was destroyed!

Although it could be repaired as soon as possible, it was not something that could be recovered in a year or two.

Therefore, the destruction of a Void Realm expert’s physical body was definitely an extremely heavy blow. It was almost equivalent to losing half of their lives.

“Who exactly is that person? Destroy my fleshly body, this enmity is unsworn! I will definitely avenge him! Shatter his corpse into ten thousand pieces, crush his bones into ashes!” Patriarch Youshui’s expression twisted.

“Ai, Junior Sister, don’t lose your temper so much. Your primordial spirit is very fragile now, so as to avoid consuming your strength.” Daoist Goldwater said helplessly.

“Big brother, save me! I still don’t want to die!” Patriarch Youshui cried.

“I see. We will try our best to arrange a physical body for you to possess.”

“After I seize the dwelling, will my cultivation be completely lost? Then wouldn’t I be a mortal?” A look of fear appeared on Patriarch Youshui’s face.

She hadn’t experienced anything like this before, so she naturally didn’t know what kind of experience it would be. She had seen many similar incidents in the past, but she hadn’t expected that it would fall on her today.

“Aren’t you allowed to cultivate again after you seized the house? Why are you so dejected?” Said Patriarch Jinxuan.

‘”So you are a Void Realm expert. After another round of cultivation, your speed will be much faster than an ordinary person’s. Furthermore, there are no bottlenecks such as the combination of martial arts and heaven and man. You don’t need to wait for too long.” Patriarch Qingyuan consoled.

“Then hurry up, I want a good body!” Patriarch Youshui screamed.

“The physical body is not the best. It should be suitable for you as much as possible. Otherwise, you will suffer from severe rejection when the time comes.”

“I don’t care. Hurry up and arrange it. My primordial spirit will soon dissipate even later.” Patriarch Youshui was clearly on the verge of madness.

Patriarch Jinxuan and Patriarch Qingyuan looked at each other helplessly. This woman’s personality was becoming more and more distorted, and she didn’t know how she would develop in the future.

“What should we do? Where should we find this body?” Patriarch Jinxuan asked.

“What else can we do? We can only search from within the sect. The mortals outside basically don’t have any cultivation aptitude. Of course, it’s impossible for them to be suitable for Junior Sister You Shui.”

“Let’s send her away after she seizes her possession.” Said Patriarch Jinxuan.

“Why is this?”

“She has regained her possession and temporarily lost her combat strength. It’s useless to stay in the Eight Desolate Sect. It’s better to temporarily send her to a safe place. If something really happens to our Eight Desolate Sect…”

Patriarch Qingyuan nodded and said, “Alright, Junior Sister You Shui will appear with a brand new face after she seizes the house. If she is concealed, no one will recognize her. If something really happens to us, she will be able to carry on with the Eight Desolate Sect’s inheritance.”

“No, I don’t want to leave. You can’t abandon me!” Hearing their conversation, Patriarch Youshui began to scream again.

“Stop messing with me, junior sister. If you stay here now, you won’t be able to fight at all. How can you help me?”

“If our Eight Desolate Sect wins, we will naturally bring you back. If we fail, then the Eight Desolate Sect will cease to exist, and you will never have to come back again.” Patriarch Qingyuan couldn’t help but look sad.

…

Originally, the Eight Desolate Sect had occupied half of Yunzhou, and their power had reached its peak. However, they did not expect that their defeat in Yunzhou City would cause a violent upheaval in a short period of time.

However, many people still had enough confidence. After all, such a large territory had countless people and abundant resources. Combined with the Eight Desolate Sect’s foundation, there was still a huge potential for war.

Failure was only temporary, and they would soon be able to make a comeback.

However, what they did not know was that the Eight Desolate Sect was already beginning to shrink its defenses, and most of its core members had quietly withdrawn into the sect.

The original mountain gate of the Iron Spear Sect was now occupied by the Eight Desolate Sect. The one guarding this place was Zheng Tianxiong, who was known as the Overlord Bear. He had cultivated a Golden Emperor Tyrannical Sword Technique for decades and had reached the peak of perfection. His strength was incomparably tyrannical.

Zheng Tianxiong’s current cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Xiantian. In the future, he had a high chance of becoming an elder. He was also a rare elite figure in the Eight Desolates Sect.

Because his fighting style was extremely open and overbearing, suitable for group battles and killing countless enemies, he had made many contributions. He believed that after returning, he would soon receive a generous reward.

“What? You actually told me to give up the Iron Spear Sect and withdraw to the Eight Barren Mountains to defend?” Zheng Tianxiong shouted loudly with an expression of dissatisfaction on his face.

“This is an order from the upper echelons of the sect. There’s nothing we can do about it.” Someone replied.

Behind Zheng Tianxiong stood a dozen or so disciples of the Eight Desolate Sect, all of them at the Xiantian level.

“I’m so scared after losing a match. I really don’t know what the higher-ups think.” Zheng Tianxiong said discontentedly.

He turned around and couldn’t help but be stunned, because he discovered something strange. The dozen or so Xiantian experts who were standing behind him had actually disappeared for no apparent reason.

“Strange, where are the people? Where have they gone?” He roared angrily.

The hall was exceptionally quiet, and there was not a single sound coming from it.

He suddenly felt that something was amiss. Even if a dozen people wanted to secretly leave, it was impossible for them to not make a sound, making him completely unaware of the extent.

More importantly, there was clearly someone who was answering him a moment ago, but why did he disappear the next moment? Could it be that they would teleport?

“Who is it? Which fellow is pretending to be a ghost here? Get out of here!” He shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the hall.

“Someone, someone! Where did all the people outside die?”

However, what he was afraid of happened. There was no sound outside. It was as if everyone in this place had disappeared in an instant. Only he was alive.

“How could this be? What exactly is going on?” He began to panic, wanting to run out of the hall.

“There’s no need to look anymore. There’s not a single living person in the entire Iron Spear Sect anymore.” A voice came from nowhere, startling Zheng Tianxiong.
