"Attacking the Da Li Sub Temple of the Seven Sects Alliance?"
Black Abyss Ascendant, Jiuhua Ancestor, and Chen Xianhe immediately showed a reaction upon hearing this.
"Good! We definitely trust Fellow Daoist Du Gu!"
Black Abyss Ascendant was the first to speak, immediately agreeing:
"We will certainly give our full support in this matter!"
The three of them had a deep and unresolved blood feud with the Seven Sects Alliance.
Among the group that broke through Li Yuan Sect's mountain gate back then, many later became members of the Seven Sects Alliance. Not to mention the subsequent massacres by the Seven Sects Alliance against the Three Sects and One Family.
Attacking the Seven Sects Alliance's Da Li Sub Temple not only verifies the authenticity of the news brought by Du Guyan, but also allows them to vent their anger, naturally there was no reason to refuse.
"Good!"
A faint smile appeared on Du Guyan's face as he spoke:
"I've already sent a message to True Yang Ancestor and the others, and we've agreed to meet at Pingdu Mountain!"
"There's no time to waste, let's proceed immediately!"
Very quickly:
Four mighty Escape Lights penetrated layers of array Spiritual Light, soaring up from the depths of the canyon and streaking across the sky.
"This..."
Many of the Dugu family's members in the canyon were shocked as they watched the four Escape Lights passing overhead, feeling the unabashed Golden Core aura, all looking at each other:
"When did our Dugu family... have four Golden Core Ancestors?"
Some quick-witted individuals seemed to have guessed something, and instantly showed a mixture of surprise and delight.
...
Da Li, Pingdu Mountain.
This majestic and magnificent famous mountain houses the best Spirit Vein within the Da Li Territory, standing firm through countless winds, rains, and changes in the situation.
Over two thousand years ago, this place was once the cultivation hideout of the Southwest Overlord, Five Elements Wanderer, where he established a Five Elements Palace. After the Five Elements Wanderer's death, the various forces that depended on the Five Elements Palace also dissipated.
For over a thousand years afterward, Da Li often descended into chaos, with numerous sects and noble families taking possession of this location, with rulers coming and going.
Until the founding ancestor of Pingdu Sect, after defeating powerful enemies, established the sect here and created Pingdu Sect.
Pingdu Sect has been passed down for a millennium, its prestige unshaken, and even the mountain was renamed Pingdu Mountain; its original name forgotten and scattered among ancient texts and records.
A few decades ago:
Elder Qingxu subdued the Three Sects to become the Uncrowned King of Da Li, and a Qingxu Palace was built here, turning it into a sacred place yearned for by everyone in the Da Li Cultivation Realm.
But not long after, news spread that Elder Qingxu was trapped in a treacherous location in Da Mo, his life or death unknown, and then the Seven Sects Alliance suddenly emerged, quickly occupying the dominant position in the Southwest.
The plaque of Qingxu Palace was removed, and it almost remained intact as the Seven Sects Alliance's Da Li Sub Temple, managing all the alliance's bases within Da Li and surrounding small countries, capable of mobilizing vast potential forces.
But now, regardless of how much power this sub temple can mobilize, facing the siege of the Golden Core Ancestors, it has become a joke.
"Quick! Check everything again!"
"All array pivot points must be maximized to their fullest extent..."
Li Yaosen, the manager of the Seven Sects Alliance Sub Temple, was pacing back and forth in the hall, shouting and issuing one command after another.
It seems only by doing so could he slightly alleviate the fear and despair in his heart.
"Damn it! My actions were still too slow!"
In Li Yaosen's heart, there was only endless regret at this moment:
"If I had been more decisive, more courageous, I should have stolen all the Treasure Vault's accumulation and fled to the Celestial Continent two days ago!"
"At that time, I could live freely in the Celestial Continent and still have the hope of achieving Golden Core status; why end up in such a plight?"
The Seven Sects Alliance, of course, has its own intelligence channels.
But with the headquarters destroyed, most top-tier combat power lost, and even abandoning the mountain gates of the Seven Houses, there was simply no energy to care for more sub temples, bases, and other peripheral forces.
Being able to issue warnings and evacuation orders to a few relatively important sub temples during the most dangerous withdrawal was already doing their utmost, with no possibility of two-way communication or informing more details.
As a result, Li Yaosen, positioned at the Da Li Sub Temple, could hardly believe it even after receiving the news, suspecting someone of fabricating false news to trap him, causing him not to escape immediately but instead to confirm the news through other channels.
In these two days, he finally confirmed the truth, but he was also confirmed by the Golden Core Ancestors of the Lingyang Sect and Dugu Family.
"This time, it's really over..."
As time passed, seeing more and more Golden Core Ancestors gathered outside, with their powerful aura unrestrained, Li Yaosen's despair became increasingly evident.
The array on Pingdu Mountain was originally arranged personally by Zhang Yao. With enough Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed there, it was enough to resist the attack of one or two Golden Core Cultivators.
But after the Seven Sects Alliance occupied Qingxu Palace, they directly changed the array drastically to eliminate hidden dangers, and their internal Array Masters were not as skilled as Zhang Yao. As a result, after their modifications, the array's power not only did not increase but actually decreased.
Moreover, now there are far more than one or two Golden Core Ancestors besieging Pingdu Mountain.
At this moment:
Above Pingdu Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Du Gu."
True Yang Ancestor, Three Mountains Ancestor, and the recently risen "Celestial Brilliance Ancestor" from Da Li in recent years, all looked in surprise at Du Guyan and the four others.
"These should be the few who came from Da Mo back then, right?"
