Chapter 744 - The Spring Autumn Sect’s Difficult Situation

Spring Autumn Sect:

It had long since lost its prosperity and majesty.

Devastation marked the lands, with traces of intense battles evident everywhere. Once a top-tier sect in the Great Chu Empire for thousands of years, it now stood riddled with holes.

The blood calamity had thrown the entire Hong Domain into an abyss of suffering, and the Great Chu Empire was no exception.

Many of its elite powers had collapsed, with even the royal clan falling to the blood demons and becoming their lackeys. More than half of the nation's territory had been consumed by this disaster, leaving no forces untouched.

The blood calamity led to the destruction of numerous sects that had stood tall for millenniums. A river of blood flowed, with countless injured and dead.

They had gathered to create several fronts to fight the demons.

The remaining forces across the Great Chu Empire had gathered to create numerous fronts to fight the demons.

The Spring Autumn Sect was one of these gathering points.

The survivors of the three great sects—Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Mountain River Sect, and Burning Incense Valley—and the remnants of several other top-tier sects had all gathered at the Spring Autumn Sect.

The number of Divine Nascent realm experts here was in the double digits. Despite the presence of so many experts, there was still an air of fear and despair in the sect.

This unease affected not just the lower-ranking disciples but also the dozen or so Divine Nascent realm experts.

Five years ago, the blood demons ravaged the Great Chu Empire but suffered heavy casualties due to the orthodox alliance's crackdown, getting nearly wiped out.

However, the blood demons resurfaced and had swept through the Great Chu Empire with even greater momentum. Not a single force could withstand the blood demon army, which surged like a flood or a ferocious beast.

This blood calamity filled everyone with terror.

The entire Hong Domain suffered from the blood demons’ rampage, putting even its rulers, the Great Li Imperial Court, in imminent danger.

An enormous, bowl-like shield of light shrouded the Spring Autumn Sect. The light shield radiated strong and majestic energy, instilling a sense of security among the people.

This was the Sect Protecting Grand Formation of the Spring Autumn Sect.

Inside the sect, the people’s clothes were stained with blood, and they looked fatigued.

Just three days ago, they had repelled an attack from the blood demon army, but this victory brought no joy. Instead, a heavy atmosphere of despair lingered.

Repelling the army did not mean they had defeated it.

The blood demon army was currently outside the Spring Autumn Sect, having surrounded the sect completely. They might launch another fierce attack at any moment.

Each large battle inflicted significant losses on the sect.

They could repel the blood demons’ attacks once, twice, or thrice, but what about ten, twenty, or thirty times?

The Spring Autumn Sect now stood like a lone island, surrounded by the blood demon army, with all contact with the outside world severed.

With each battle, the Spring Autumn Sect suffered heavy losses, while the blood demon army continued to swell with an endless influx of demonic beings.

The sect faced increasingly dire danger.

Many people were clear that the blood demon army was still mobilizing its forces, and the sect likely wouldn’t survive the next attack.

About a dozen Divine Nascent realms had gathered in the sect’s main hall, but gloom and sorrow enveloped them.

“The blood calamity this time, I’m afraid...” Feng Baiyu finally broke the silence, his voice heavy with despair. “We won’t make it though.”

The atmosphere became even heavier and more depressing.

The blood demon army was wreaking havoc in the Great Chu Empire, and no one could stop them.

As several other strongholds fell one after another, the blood demons grew in numbers, including more Divine Nascent realm experts.

A silver-robed elder with a long mustache and a sage-like appearance said, “Brother Feng, how many Divine Nascent realm experts’ attacks can the Protecting Grand Formation withstand?”

Feng Baiyu answered, “Fifteen at most.”

The crowd present fell silent again.

There were twelve blood demon powerhouses stationed outside the Spring Autumn Sect. Three more and the sect would be breached.

“Everyone, in this desperate situation, we can only fight till our deaths, dragging as many of those demons down with us as possible!” Wei Buyu said fervently.

“That’s right. Even if we have to die, we’ll take a chunk of flesh from these demonic beings!"

The atmosphere in the hall immediately changed from a heavy one to a hot-blooded one.

They had no way to retreat.

The atmosphere in the hall shifted from heavy to fiery. With no way to retreat, they resolved to fight to the death, determined to make the blood demons pay dearly for their lives!

Woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo!

Suddenly, the ear-piercing alarm echoed through the Spring Autumn Sect. Feng Baiyu and the others’ expressions changed dramatically. They immediately took flight and raced outside.

Blood qi filled the skies outside, and a sea of blood surged. The blood demons swarmed like locusts, covering heaven and earth and instilling despair in everyone.

The blood demon army was launching another wave of attack!

Panic erupted within the quiet Spring Autumn Sect.

Feng Baiyu and the others unleashed their auras and took to the skies. A pressure spread out, and their shouts shook the heavens.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Get into your positions and prepare for battle!”

“Hahahaha, Feng Baiyu, your sect will definitely fall this time!”

In the void outside the sect, several blood demon powerhouses with powerful auras appeared, with seas of blood tumbling around them. A heavy pressure emanated from them, instilling a profound sense of oppression.

A third-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon expert stepped forward. He looked at the Sect Protecting Grand Formation and curled his lips. “This tortoiseshell shall break today!”

“That’s right, break this tortoise shell and charge into the Spring Autumn Sect. Let a river of blood flow and leave no one alive!"

Immediately, the blood demon army roared with imposing momentum.

Compared to the blood demon army’s aggressiveness, the Spring Autumn Sect’s side was gloomy.

Fifteen blood demon powerhouses lined up in a row and began bombarding the Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Boom, boom, boom!

Numerous streaks of terrifying blood light ravaged heaven and earth, crossing the sky and attacking the light shield. The shield immediately shook intensely.

Cracking sounds echoed as the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, overwhelmed by the attacks of fifteen blood demon powerhouses, began to fail.

Crack, crack, crack. Crack, crack, crack...

“The Sect Protecting Grand Formation is about to break!”

Feng Baiyu and the others’ eyes shrank.

“Fight!”

“Fight!”

“Fight!”

The previously silent crowd ignited with fervor. Anger and determination shone in their eyes as their fighting spirit erupted.

The Sect Protecting Grand Formation shattered.

Rumble!

“Kill!” shouted a third-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon commander, prompting the blood demon army to charge the Spring Autumn Sect.
