Chapter 1213: Besieged on All Sides
Peerless Medicine God · 第1213章 四面楚歌
"Sect Leader, people from Chaotian Palace are chasing us from the east! The leader seems to be their palace master, Qin Tiannan!"
"Sect Leader, people are also chasing us from the west! They seem to be from the Ziwei Sect!"
"Sect Leader..."
Bad news came one after another. Lü Zizheng, the sect leader of the Misty Sect, had never felt so desperate.
Eight superpowers had been reduced to just their sect in the blink of an eye!
Not long ago, the Misty Sect had been competing with the Seven Absolute City and Chaotian Palace for the territory left behind after the fall of the Medicine King Hall.
Who would have thought that in an instant, the four great super holy lands would all become demon territory!
When the news arrived, a chill ran down Lü Zizheng's spine.
Because the holy masters of these four super holy lands had all become demon slaves, turned into lackeys in the hands of the demons!
The four holy masters had led their sect's elites, attacking the Misty Sect from all directions.
Fortunately, he had been quick to react and directly abandoned his foundation, escaping the encirclement of the four super holy lands.
What were foundations and trump cards in the face of absolute power? They were nothing!
But now, the four holy lands had caught up, and all their holy masters were personally leading the charge.
He could barely handle one, but against four holy masters, how could he possibly be a match?
"What is the Xu family's stance? At a time like this, do they still want to live in seclusion?" Lü Zizheng roared.
His fury was about to burn the heavens.
Looking around the Divine Domain, he found no retreat left!
After abandoning the sect, there were only two places he could go.
One was the Demon Domain, and the other was the hidden land of the four great families!
After careful consideration, Lü Zizheng decided to retreat to the territory of the Xu family, one of the four great families.
Those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts.
Humans and demons had rarely interacted, and at this moment, humans were clearly more reliable.
But who knew that after sending several groups to the Xu family, the Xu family's attitude remained ambiguous, giving no clear answer.
As time passed, their best chance to escape was wasted.
Now, it seemed the armies of the four holy lands were about to surround them completely.
Lü Zizheng never dreamed that at such a critical moment of life and death, the Xu family would refuse to help!
Did they really think they could stay out of trouble?
"Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader Feng has returned from the Xu family!" Suddenly, someone reported.
Lü Zizheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Quick, have him come here! No, I'll go myself!"
Unable to wait any longer, Lü Zizheng dashed out in a single stride.
Meeting Vice Sect Leader Feng Tao, Lü Zizheng immediately asked, "How is it? What did the Xu family say?"
Feng Tao's expression was extremely grim, and he said reluctantly, "The Xu family said that taking refuge is allowed, but the Misty Sect must be dissolved from now on, merged into the Xu family, and become its subsidiary!"
"What! They... they are going too far!"
Lü Zizheng was so angry he jumped up and down, his usual calm demeanor long forgotten.
This was nothing short of taking advantage of the situation!
Under the Xu family's conditions, the legacy of the Misty Sect would be destroyed.
Moreover, as the sect leader, he would likely be swallowed up by the Xu family sooner or later.
What a well-calculated scheme!
"Sect Leader, it's bad! All our escape routes have been cut off! Now, the only path left is the Xu family!" Suddenly, a subordinate reported.
Lü Zizheng's face turned as pale as paper. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Let's go. First, agree to the Xu family's conditions, and we'll figure things out once we're inside!"
At that moment, the elites of the four super holy lands had already launched their attack. With no other choice, Lü Zizheng fought while retreating.
The screams were unceasing, and Lü Zizheng's heart bled.
He thought to himself that once today's ordeal was over, he would definitely make the Xu family pay for this!
At this moment, the Xu family was already on full alert.
After all, the experts of the four great super holy lands were no joke.
Not only the Xu family, but the experts of the other three families had also gathered here.
"Xu Guangyin, I accept your conditions! Hurry and open the clan-protecting formation and let us in!" Lü Zizheng declared loudly.
Xu Guangyin, the head of the Xu family, was already a Void Profound expert who had touched the laws of the divine path.
He said loudly, "First, swear a heavenly oath. If you break it, may the entire Misty Sect die a miserable death!"
Hearing this, blood rushed to Lü Zizheng's head, and he nearly fainted.
These bastards really wouldn't let go without seeing the rabbit!
They were clearly after the inheritance of the Misty Sect, not to save anyone!
"Xu Guangyin, I fuck your ancestors! You... you will die a miserable death! Even if our Misty Sect is completely annihilated today, we will not bow to you! Let's see how your Xu family explains this to the warriors of the Divine Domain!"
Lü Zizheng, enraged to the point of madness, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Guangyin, however, sneered and said, "Then don't you worry about it! When the eight great super holy lands were throwing their weight around, did you ever think of us four great families? Now that you're in trouble, you come to us for refuge? Hah, when has there ever been such a good thing?"
Lü Zizheng gritted his teeth and roared, "All disciples of the Misty Sect, hear my command! The Xu family is unkind and unjust, they kick a man when he's down, and refuse to save the dying! Today, we will die fighting at their doorstep, and with our souls, we curse them to die a miserable death!"
The army of the Misty Sect, now pushed to the brink, instead became united in their hatred.
There was no place left for them in the vast world.
It seemed that, except for dying in battle, they had no other way out!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Even a trapped beast still fights, let alone humans!
The experts of the Misty Sect, each with murderous aura soaring to the sky, actually turned and charged back!
"Hahaha... Lü Zizheng, I advise you to surrender and become a demon slave of Lord Demon God! Lord Demon God will give you countless benefits!" laughed Qin Tiannan, the lord of Chaotian Palace.
"Lü Zizheng, it's not too late for you to turn back now!" said the master of Ziwei Sect.
Lü Zizheng's face shifted between gloom and brightness, stunned by the scene before him.
These bastards had actually fallen so low!
He did not want to become a walking corpse enslaved in both spirit and body!
He would rather die than become like that!
"Kill!"
Without any hesitation, Lü Zizheng charged straight into battle.
But as soon as they clashed, Lü Zizheng realized something was wrong.
His opponent was Qin Tiannan, but Qin Tiannan's strength was more than a notch above before!
His current strength was probably not inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings!
"Bang!"
Qin Tiannan raised his hand and struck a palm, sending Lü Zizheng flying.
"Hahaha, ant! See that? If you surrender to Lord Demon God now, I can still give you a chance!" Qin Tiannan laughed loudly.
Lü Zizheng gritted his teeth and said, "You're dreaming! I would rather die than become like you!"
There was no pity in Qin Tiannan's eyes; he said flatly, "In that case, you can die."
With that, Qin Tiannan struck down with his palm.
Lü Zizheng closed his eyes, waiting for death in agony.
But the palm strike was slow to fall.
When he opened his eyes to look, he couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy!
