In the sky above the Central Domain, the sound of bells continuously echoed. Hearing this sound, all the forces in the Central Domain knew that the Northern Domain forces were marching south.
The forces of the Central Domain, without any hesitation, immediately dispatched troops to the north, and Immortal Venerable Yun Meng also led a group of Immortal Venerates to the Boundary Sea between the Northern and Central Domains, waiting for the Northern Domain forces.
Soon after, on the sea, some dragon-headed warships appeared. These warships were immense, with massive dragon heads carved on the prow, and the hulls were engraved with golden dragons crafted from Xianjin.
Seeing these warships appear, the people of the Central Domain knew that the Azure Dragon Hall had arrived.
However, those dragon-headed warships did not forcibly charge forward; instead, they all stopped at a certain distance.
For a moment, the forces of the Northern and Central Domains formed a confrontational stance, looking as if a great battle was about to erupt.
At this moment, the voice of Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable rang out over the sea.
"Xuanyue Palace Master, we only recently joined forces to resist the Demon Emperor, and your actions make us, as allies, very disappointed!"
Hearing the words of Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng immediately used immortal power to speak: "Dragon Soaring Hall Master, I'm really sorry, the Central Domain is too small to accommodate so many Immortals, so you should find another place, Dragon Soaring Hall Master."
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng did not bother with courteous words. Anyway, today either the forces of the Northern Domain go to other Realms, or a war breaks out between the two domains.
Although Immortal Venerable Yun Meng did not wish to start a war at such a time, the cultivation resources and Qi Fortune of the Central Domain are limited. She could not allow the Azure Dragon Hall to compete with them, especially considering they currently have an Immortal Emperor Patriarch waiting to reincarnate for a second life.
If Xuanyue Palace's Qi Fortune suffers any setbacks at this time, their Patriarch's plan is likely to fail.
After Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's words, she directly unleashed the pressure from her body.
Feeling the pressure released by Immortal Venerable Yun Meng, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable snorted coldly, also releasing the pressure from his body.
However, when the pressures of the two clashed, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable suddenly had a moment of confusion, and immediately after, he felt a bit dizzy.
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable instantly realized that Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's voice contained a spiritual attack method. Although he wasn't greatly affected, just releasing pressure and saying a word could make him dazed, proving that Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's strength is likely above his.
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable was already mentally prepared for this. Having been trapped in the Demon Emperor's formation for so many years, his strength had diminished. Now his strength being inferior to Immortal Venerable Yun Meng was also normal.
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable directly said: "Yunmeng Palace Master, you seem a bit too overbearing. The Central Domain doesn't belong to your Xuanyue Palace alone. What, we can't even pass through briefly?"
"Does Yunmeng Palace Master mean to fight us of the Northern Domain to the death just because we want to pass through the Central Domain?"
Hearing the words of Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng was momentarily stunned.
Pass through?
The Northern Domain's southward movement wasn't to occupy the Central Domain's land?
Where were they passing through to?
If it was just passing through, Xuanyue Palace naturally wouldn't obstruct them. They couldn't fight to the death with the forces of the Northern Domain just for passing through, provided the Northern Domain's forces were truly just passing through.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng then asked: "Where does Dragon Soaring Hall Master intend to go?"
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable replied: "Naturally to the Barbaric."
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable also did not want to conflict with the super forces of other Realms. The problem with the Cultivation Path is becoming more serious, and coupled with the strange anomalies appearing in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, all these suggest that a calamity is soon to strike the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
If they were to wage war with the super forces of other Realms at this time, depleting their strength, how would they respond when the calamity strikes?
Therefore, he ultimately decided to take the forces of the Northern Domain that were unwilling to disband directly to the Barbaric. Although the Barbaric has scarce Immortal Aura, its vast lands could fully accommodate these forces of the Northern Domain.
Most importantly, the Barbaric doesn't have any strong super forces. With so many forces from the Northern Domain moving south, the Barbaric has no resistance to them. Once they reach the Barbaric, it will all be theirs.
Of course, going to the Barbaric isn't to stay there forever. Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable's idea is that once the Cultivation Path is restored to normal, and the calamity passes, they will then wage war to conquer other Realms and leave the Barbaric.
Going to the Barbaric now is merely a temporary measure. After all, the Demon Emperor has already ordered them to either disband or get out of the Northern Domain. If they don't leave soon, the Demon Emperor's Heavenly Demon Army will definitely launch another attack.
Without the Immortal Domain Alliance Army now, relying solely on these forces of the Northern Domain, defeating the Demon Emperor is already impossible. The great momentum is gone, and temporarily avoiding the brunt is the best choice.
As for pledging allegiance to the Demon Emperor, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable has no thoughts of doing so at all.
Not to mention that the Azure Dragon Hall was the first force to stand against the Demon Emperor at that time. Just the fact that after the Demon Emperor's return, they were the first to assemble the Immortal Domain Alliance Army to encircle the Demon Emperor means the Demon Emperor would never spare them.
The Demon Emperor hasn't acted against their Azure Dragon Hall yet, most likely because of issues with the Heavenly Dao and the impending calamity, leaving the Demon Emperor with no time to deal with them.
Once the Demon Emperor's Cultivation State is restored, it's highly probable he would settle accounts with them, so they best take this opportunity to leave the Northern Domain quickly.
As for whether the Demon Emperor would settle accounts with them after restoring his strength, it's a manageable concern. As long as they can break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm before the Demon Emperor restores his strength, their Azure Dragon Hall will still have a chance for survival. This is also why Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable chooses not to fight with those super forces for territory.
After hearing Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable say they were going to the Barbaric, the masters of the Central Domain forces looked at each other, analyzing in their minds whether what Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable said was true or false.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng spoke up at this time: "If Dragon Soaring Hall Master is merely passing through, then the Central Domain naturally welcomes you. But we fear some Northern Domain forces entering the Central Domain may have other thoughts."
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable chuckled lightly and then said: "If there are Northern Domain forces wanting to pledge allegiance to your Central Domain, that has nothing to do with the Azure Dragon Hall."
The various forces from the Northern Domain chose to move south, and a key reason is to maintain the integrity of their lineage. Every force has its heritage, and the majority of them would not choose to join other forces unless absolutely necessary. However, there are exceptions; some forces simply do not want to be ruled by the Demon Emperor, hence choosing to move south.
Those Immortals unwilling to be governed by the Demon Emperor, after leaving the Northern Domain, present a good opportunity for other domain forces to strengthen themselves.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng said: "Dragon Soaring Hall Master, you should know that's not what I meant."
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng felt that some things need to be clarified. If Northern Domain forces join them, they naturally welcome them, since this could strengthen their power. However, their concern is those forces occupying their land.
