Chapter 830: Attack of the Four Great Sects (Request for Subscription)_1

Meanwhile, in the palace of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect…

The skeletal man sitting in the center, his icy gaze peering from behind his mask, was looking down at several elders of the Evil Spirit Sect!

He said coldly, "You've come this time, is there anything else you wish to say?"

Since the arrival of these elders, he had noticed that Xu Sheng was the only one missing, and he vaguely guessed some of their thoughts…

One of the elders took a deep breath and was the first to speak, "Sect Master, I find Elder Xu's identity and purpose very suspicious. We must be vigilant against him."

The other elders, upon hearing this, echoed in agreement, "That's right, the reason we didn't inform Elder Xu is that we hold suspicions against him!"

"Just the fact that he has reached the Mahayana Realm and still chose to join our Evil Spirit Sect is perplexing, and I fear he harbors no small ulterior motive."

The skeletal man, upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flickered in his cold eyes, "Oh? Do you have any evidence? You can't expect me to believe you without reason."

After speaking, his bony finger gently stroked his chin…

It was rare for the elders of the Evil Spirit Sect, who usually didn't get along, to come together; this must mean they had noticed something…

Seeing him ask this way, the several elders glanced at each other and nodded…

The one who had spoken first explained, "Sect Master, Elder Xu participated in the ritual with us yesterday, but after absorbing almost all of the energy, he claimed he had no improvement at all. We suspect that his true cultivation level might be more than just the Mahayana Realm!"

"Exactly! If his true identity is from another sect or that place sent to exterminate us, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"We urge you to ponder this, Sect Master. For this plan, including yourself, everyone has put in a great deal of effort!"

After hearing these words, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect finally showed emotion on his face hidden behind the mask!

Xu Sheng's cultivation was at the first level of the Mahayana Realm; logically, after participating in the ritual and absorbing so much energy, his cultivation would have a significant improvement…

The complete lack of change was indeed questionable…

Could it be… that Xu Sheng truly had an ulterior motive?

Thinking this, his tone became icy, "Keep this matter a secret for now. I will make a judgment based on observations during the forthcoming battles with other sects!"

If he were to discover anything, he would have to eliminate Xu Sheng! He could not allow him to interfere with the upcoming grand plan!

Upon hearing this, the other elders of the Evil Spirit Sect said no more…

...

Soon, several days hurried by…

As Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin were suddenly awakened from their sleep, the entire Evil Spirit Sect resounded with noisy shouts…

"Quick!! Notify the Sect Master and the elders! The Four Great Sects have united and launched an attack on us!"

"It's too terrifying! They actually have tens of thousands of people; we simply can't resist!"

"Damn it! They choose to attack at dawn like this, do they want to be torn to shreds by our Evil Spirit Sect!"

Shangguan Lin frowned and with beautiful eyes turned towards Xu Sheng, she asked, "What's happened?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng shook his head and stood up from the bed, saying indifferently, "Not sure, let's go out and see."

Immediately, Shangguan Lin turned her head aside and said, "I know, I didn't ask you just now!"

She still hadn't let go of her annoyance!

Xu Sheng shook his head, for now, there was no time to discuss these things…

He then turned and left the room…

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but be flustered as she whispered, "Hey! Xu Sheng??"

Realizing that Xu Sheng had already walked far away, she then bit her lip and said, "He actually left me behind!"

The next moment, she decided to follow after him…

As Xu Sheng walked out of the room, he casually grabbed a panic-stricken Xieling Sect Disciple and asked coldly, "What exactly happened?"

The latter was stunned for a moment, but upon recognizing that it was Xu Sheng, he said in fright, "El… Elder, the Four Great Sects have already arrived close to the perimeter of our Evil Spirit Sect. The other Elders are there too, please hurry over!"

Immediately after, he let go of the disciple…

At the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but criticize, "They've nearly reached our sect before we even detected them, the Evil Spirit Sect is utterly incompetent in surveillance!"

Shangguan Lin, who had caught up from behind, grabbed Xu Sheng's arm out of breath and said, "Xu Sheng, wait for me, why are you running so fast… eh eh??"

Without much explanation, Xu Sheng picked up Shangguan Lin in his arms and began to dive towards the direction of the sect's main gate…

This rough gesture caused Shangguan Lin's cheeks to flush with a hint of rosiness as she coyly said, "Xu Sheng, slow… slow down."

Preoccupied with his thoughts, Xu Sheng didn't have the time to listen to her and sped up again…

Soon, the two reached the vicinity of the Evil Spirit Sect's main gate, with the Elders and Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect already waiting!

Behind them stood countless disciples with eyes blazing scarlet, all focusing their gaze on the joint forces of the Four Great Sects not too far ahead, as if looking at prey…

The atmosphere was incredibly tense, with a major battle on the verge of erupting…

At that moment, the love in Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes illuminated as, panting, she said, "Xu Sheng, why have you stopped?"

Such an overtly affectionate remark instantly broke the tension of the scene…

Everyone's gaze turned peculiarly towards Shangguan Lin in Xu Sheng's arms…

Xu Sheng hastily put her down and covered his forehead with his hand, "Shangguan, look around you."

Coming back to her senses, Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes subconsciously swept the surroundings and suddenly realized that the gaze of nearly ten thousand Evil Spirit Sect disciples was fixed on her…

She bit her lip in embarrassment and said, "My words just now… Did they all hear them?"

Xu Sheng answered indifferently, "Hmm! Now everyone knows you are a disciple who practices the Yang Harvesting and Yin Nourishing Technique."

Shangguan Lin grew angry and said, "Damn it, why didn't you say something sooner..."

Unable to withstand the pressure, she swiftly hid behind Xu Sheng…

However, such behavior appeared to be quite normal within the Evil Spirit Sect, and it wasn't long before the disciples swiftly averted their gazes…

Only to see, not far from the gate of the Evil Spirit Sect, the leaders of the joint forces of the Four Great Sects were none other than the Sect Masters of each sect…

The Wind Thunder Sect Master's eyes were fixed on the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect as he shouted coldly, "Today will be your Evil Spirit Sect's day of doom! If you give up resistance, at least you can preserve a good reputation!"

The Giant Sword Sect Master also denounced loudly, "Your Evil Spirit Sect has harmed countless people and has become universally detested; today, no one will come to your aid! Prepare for your end!"

The Azure Luan Sect Master said with a full-faced smile, "With the few disciples you have, there's no way you can withstand the joint attack of our Four Great Sects!"

Hearing these words, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect laughed coldly as if he had heard a joke, "Are you trying to intimidate me? Since I dared to create the Evil Spirit Sect, I fear no one!"

"Do you think you ants are worthy of making me surrender without a fight?"
