The Eve of Battle

When the young sect master of the Youying Sect was caught in front of Tang Xiaoyu, the sect master of the already disadvantaged Youying Sect was immediately thrown into disorder.

Liu Xuning seized this opportunity and stabbed through his opponent's shoulder with a sword.

"Stop struggling in vain. You can't change anything. I have two choices for you, you might as well listen." Tang Xiaoyu's voice rang out.

"What choices?"

"The first choice: you continue to struggle in vain, and we will kill all your son and disciples."

"The second choice: you commit suicide, and I'll spare your son and disciples. If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath."

The Youying Sect leader looked at his son, then looked at less than half of his disciples. He wanted to escape by himself, but he knew the other party would not give him that chance.

With a sigh: "Alas! I choose the second one, but you have to swear that none of your Fengxi Sect people will harm my son and disciples in the slightest."

Tang Xiaoyu raised his hand: "I swear... If I break this oath, may the heavens strike me with five thunders, my breakthroughs fail, I step in poop as soon as I go out, and stay single for the rest of my life."

Everyone thought: That's pretty harsh on yourself.

"I believe you."

Looking at his son again: "Feng'er, promise your father to live an ordinary life from now on and stop causing trouble."

The young sect master cried and sobbed: "Father, don't mind me, hurry and go."

The Youying Sect leader smiled slightly, then severed his own cultivation base and cut his own throat with a sword.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, looking towards the position of the Fengling Sect Leader behind him, and sent a voice transmission: "Leave none alive."

"Understood."

Tang Xiaoyu put his arm around the young sect master and whispered in his ear, "Remember, don't be so arrogant in your next life, be a low-key villain."

The Fengling Sect Leader walked out from the crowd, already behind Tang Xiaoyu. After hearing Tang Xiaoyu finish speaking, he stabbed the young sect master through the chest with a sword.

The young sect master wanted to say something, but didn't get a single word out.

Tang Xiaoyu released the corpse and turned to leave.

The Fengling Sect Leader shouted loudly: "Leave none alive!"

The slaughter officially began. Not a single person from the Youying Sect could escape.

"Supreme Elder, I leave the Youying Sect Leader's corpse to you. Don't even leave any ashes, I'm afraid of accidents." Tang Xiaoyu instructed.

"I understand."

Tang Xiaoyu looked left and right: "Li Zijie, come over."

Li Zijie came trotting over: "Sect Leader."

"Take people to empty out the Youying Sect. You should know where to put the stuff."

"Don't worry, Sect Leader!"

"Go on!"

"Ok!"

Liu Xuning walked over: "Continue to the next target?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "We must eliminate more sects before they unite against us."

"Understood."

The Fengxi Sect continued to advance, subduing two first-class sects and destroying another four first-class sects. The remaining sects finally realized they needed to unite.

They all wanted to reap the benefits of others' hard work, but ended up getting themselves into trouble as well.

It must be said that this is human nature - at the moment of life and death, they still thought of plotting for their own benefit.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many war profiteers in real life either.

This time, the major sects of Middle State were able to unite also thanks to the Holy Land's holy son.

A person who liked to make empty boasts and grandstand - Tang Xiaoyu would call him "just like you" whenever he saw someone like that.

That holy son was the protagonist of this world - Ye Xuan.

When Ye Xuan learned that the mastermind behind this turmoil was Tang Xiaoyu, he could no longer contain the raging anger in his heart. He immediately stepped forward to preside over this alliance.

He swore to avenge the death of his red beauty who was killed by Tang Xiaoyu back then.

The Fengxi Sect's next target: the Bright Moon Sword Sect.

At this time, the main hall of the Bright Moon Sword Sect was already filled with sect leaders and elders from the major sects.

Among them were also a few of Tang Xiaoyu's old acquaintances.

Who were they?

Of course it was: Lin Qingying, Tang Xiaoqin, and Xie Wanying from the Demonic Sect.

Ye Xuan sat in the main seat, angrily saying: "Tang Xiaoyu, this demon, first allied with demonic cultivators to massacre all the righteous cultivators in the Eastern State."

"Now he's also leading demonic cultivators to wreak havoc on our Middle State, this land of purity."

"Not to mention the other sects he destroyed, just the Youying Sect alone, he didn't spare a single one of their 30,000 plus disciples. They all died under his slaughter."

Ye Xuan looked pained and indignant as he continued: "30,000 plus people! 30,000 plus! The Youying Sect Leader was even reduced to ashes."

"If we still calculate against each other instead of uniting to slay this demon Tang Xiaoyu, none of us will survive."

Ye Xuan's planted mouthpiece echoed: "What the Holy Son says is right. Only by uniting can we slay the demon Tang Xiaoyu. Fighting him alone will only lead to death."

"I propose that Holy Son Ye Xuan serve as the leader of this alliance."

"I agree."

"I agree too."

Lin Qingying and Xie Wanying did not object. Everyone understood Ye Xuan's intentions.

They just needed someone to be a scapegoat.

Since Ye Xuan was so enthusiastic, everyone was more than happy to let him do it.

If they won, they would evenly split the spoils. If they lost, Ye Xuan would take the fall as the sinner.

Ye Xuan modestly said: "Since everyone trusts me so much, I will humbly accept."

"The Tang demon will arrive in a few days. Tomorrow, we will lead our disciples to decisively engage him in battle."

The next day, Ye Xuan led over 100,000 people from the major sects and set out to intercept Tang Xiaoyu.

To show his benevolence, Ye Xuan chose a barren land for the final showdown with Tang Xiaoyu.

"Within a radius of 10,000 li, there are no cities, villages. Everyone can fight freely without worrying too much." Ye Xuan reminded.

To be honest, since it wasn't their own territory, they didn't care much at all.

While thinking this, their words on the surface were of a different tune: "The Alliance Leader is benevolent, we are very grateful."

Zhang Huizhu rushed as fast as they could and finally caught up to Tang Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, please stop! Your current strength is no match for them." Zhang Huizhu persuaded.

Tang Xiaoyan also echoed: "Cousin, wait a little longer, wait for little sister Xue to bring people, then we can take Middle State in one fell swoop."

Tang Xiaoyu was expressionless, calmly saying: "A bowstring pulled taut does not turn back, it's either life or death."

"Also, I never want to see you again, my dear cousin."

Tang Xiaoyan anxiously said: "Cousin, don't be like this. If you don't want to see me again, I promise I won't appear before you after this matter is resolved."

Tang Xiaoyu was devoid of any emotion: "There's nothing else. You should go back now! Our decisive battle is upon us."

Zhang Huizhu gritted her teeth: "Since we can't persuade you, then we'll stay and help you - live together, die together."

Tang Xiaoyan also said: "Cousin, please don't drive us away. I made one mistake, I don't want to make another one. Even if I die, I want to die by your side."

Tang Xiaoyu sighed: "Why must you do this?"

"Cousin, are you afraid of implicating us, so you don't want to see us again? I understand all this, but now I only want to live and die together with you."

Zhang Huizhu said: "Xiaoyu, have you forgotten we are family?"

Tang Xiaoyu had no choice: "But you must promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"If we fail, you must take everyone back to the Eastern State."

"If taking them back, it should be you leading them back." Zhang Huizhu seemed to understand something.

Tang Xiaoyu said resolutely: "I want to die with my disciples here, and also, only I am suitable for staying behind to cover the retreat."

"Liu YuXin knows where all the seized resources are placed. At that time, take everything and go back."

"If you don't agree, go back now."

Zhang Huizhu looked at each other and said: "We agree to your decision."

On the eve of the decisive battle, Tang Xiaoyu also called Liu Xuning over and asked her to agree to his decision.
