Within the Extreme Celestial Hall of Extreme Celestial Sect, Sect Master Wan Jiecheng was seated on the highest seat, listening to the elders who were constantly reporting the situation to him.

Every report he heard caused his eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

There had been no good news since the war began.

“What's the situation with First Origin City?” After listening for a moment, Wan Jiecheng then said, a slight frown on his face.

“First Origin City is holding very well,” one of the elders said.

“Very well? Humph! The enemy has surrounded Extreme Celestial Mountains. First Origin City will not be able to hold on for much longer.” Wan Jiecheng had always displayed a calm and lofty disposition. At that very moment, however, the situation was truly not looking good. Ever since Extreme Celestial Sect's founding, such an incident had almost never happened before.

Wan Jiecheng had already cultivated up to the high-level Human Immortal stage. Generally, he would not interfere too much with the affairs of the sect and instead focus whole-heartedly on his cultivation. He wanted to reach an even higher level. Should he successfully make it to the next level, he would be able to cast off the burden known as Sect Master and set off to explore outer s.p.a.ce. At that very moment, however, it would appear that his plans had come cras.h.i.+ng down. Extreme Celestial Sect may end up destroyed in his hands.

“It really is holding up very well. Some of the hidden experts in First Origin City had taken action,” seeing the dark look on the Sect Master's face, the elder cautiously said.

“Hmm, First Origin City is very close to our Extreme Celestial Mountains. There are indeed some cultivators with formidable cultivation bases there. I know of a few una.s.suming shopkeepers there who are Human Immortals. However, I didn't think they would help us.” Wan Jiecheng nodded.

“The ones who chose to help us are quite strong. However, another force has appeared there as well. It is led by Sage Enigma Flame.”

“Sage Enigma Flame?” Wan Jiecheng was taken aback.

“Sage Enigma Flame had left our sect for quite some time now. There has been no news of him all this time. Back then, he had some conflict with our sect, but now he has re-appeared to help. He is truly a member of our Extreme Celestial Sect.”

“Sage Enigma Flame is already a Human Immortal. Not to mention, there are a few other Human Immortals with him. Their appearance has helped relieve First Origin City of some of the pressures it is facing.”

“Hmm, they must be Sage Enigma Flame's friends. If our Extreme Celestial Sect can survive this, we must be sure to properly thank those who have chosen to help us this time.” Wan Jiecheng nodded again.

However, our chances of surviving this are too small. The words were left unspoken. Should the Sect Master utter such words, it would badly impact their morale.

“This time, Nine Firmaments Palace chose to attack us but none of the sects are helping us at all. Rather, some are even secretly taking advantage of the situation to plunder the burning house. Despicable!” Another elder fumed.

“It is a very normal situation. At any rate, fighting Nine Firmaments Palace is the equivalent of fighting the Three Palaces. The combined might of the three sects is just too strong. Although the sects are clearly afraid of Nine Firmaments Palace, they will not openly fight them. Sigh! If the rest of us can stand united, the Three Palaces would not have been able to grow so strong. Humph! If our Extreme Celestial Sect is destroyed, it will be their turn next. Short-sighted fellows!”

“Alright. We'll end today's session here. Head out and immediately organize our men. Conduct a strict check and ensure that the enemy do not make it into our Extreme Celestial Mountains,” Wan Jiecheng then relayed his orders.

“Sect Master, should we mobilize that force?” It was then that the frontmost elder asked, his voice a whisper.

Wan Jiecheng's eyes flashed with light and he said, “For now, do not mobilize that force.”

“But-” The elder had wanted to continue only for Wan Jiecheng to stop him with a wave of his hand.

“If we possess such a force, then Nine Firmaments Palace will also possess such a force. Truth be told, in such a situation, even if we are to mobilize all of our forces, we will only be able to delay the inevitable. Rather than bringing that force out to fight now, it would be better to keep it till the end. In the worst-case scenario, we might be able to use them to preserve a spark.”

Moving away from the Extreme Celestial Mountains, Chen Feng was now leading his force to attack one of the forces under Nine Firmaments Palace.

Originally, Chen Feng's plan was to rush to Extreme Celestial Sect. Once his men reached the Extreme Celestial Mountains, they would be able to help relieve the pressure on Extreme Celestial Sect.

However, after obtaining detailed information from the various great trade a.s.sociations, coupled with the discussions he had with the others, Chen Feng changed his plan.

His new plan was to directly attack the important strongholds and base of operations of the Three Palaces.

The current target of attack was one such example. It was a large city under Nine Firmaments Palace and also a very important stronghold.

There were several Human Immortals and an Earthen Immortal standing guard within the city. For a large city, this line-up was somewhat lacking. However, Chen Feng knew that this was because they had dispatched most of their forces to the frontlines.

Due to that, taking this city away from Nine Firmaments Palace took practically no effort on Chen Feng's part.

The most important reason why Chen Feng decided to take over this city was because of the large-scale teleportation array it housed. Frankly speaking, this city served as an important transfer station for Nine Firmaments Palace. The forces from Nine Firmaments Palace needed to come here in order to head to the other locations.

Chen Feng's actions of taking over this city was the equivalent of sticking a bone in Nine Firmaments Palace's throat.

This would throw Nine Firmaments Palace's side into a state of chaos and reduce the pressure on Extreme Celestial Sect.

After leaving some men behind to guard the city, Chen Feng set out again. He split his forces into four groups. Every group consisted of 100 Human Immortals and 5,000 Sky Human cultivators. Chen Feng also sent out the four Earthen Immortals he brought with him, leaving none in his group.
