At the foot of the mountain, Merrick, Bluster, and nka led more than 30 disciples from the Fiery me Sect and the Unfettered Sect to camp out on the spot.


    Dante descended from the sky, looked at everyone with his hands behind his back, and said with a stern expression, "You''re really stubborn. Haven''t you learned your lessons during the day?" Merrick cupped his hands and said, "Fellow cultivator, please don''t misunderstand us. We''ve broken away from the Six Great Sects!"


    Dante was slightly stunned and looked at Bluster and nka in surprise.


    They both nodded at the same time.


    Merrick said with a smile, "The Zen Heart Sect and the Misty Temr Court have evil intentions. We''ve long stopped associating with them!"


    Dante looked suspicious. "Is this true?"


    Merrick chuckled out loud and said, "Let the heavens strike me if I''m lying!"


    Dante cast away his worries. His expression softened. "Do you n to form an alliance with us?"


    "Exactly!" Merrick responded quickly.


    Dante smiled. "In that case,e up the mountain with me!"


    When cultivators reached the Profound Oriental Realm, they would not simply make an oath. Breaking an oath would cause divine punishment.


    Now that Merrick had sworn an oath, Dante would appear petty if he still did not trust them.


    Dante led everyone to the mountain. He also exined the reason to Das.


    With three Profound Oriental Realm experts wanting to join his camp, Das had no reason to refuse.


    He set aside two tents to house the Fiery me Sect and the Unfettered Sect


    Merrick took his disciples into the tent to meditate.


    Bluster led the Unfettered Sect disciples into the other tent.


    Silence fell upon Hollow Mountain again.


    About two hourster, a hasty exmation suddenly came from outside. "Oh no! This is bad!"


    The person shouting was Zaid Murphy.


    He went straight to the main tent and shouted, "This is bad! The sky has changed color!"


    Das and others came outside.


    Outside, the sky had turned red like hot iron. The air felt oppressive to the extreme.


    "What''s going on?" Das squinted his eyes and murmured.


    In the secr world, this looked exactly like an impending doomsday.


    "This is the witchcraft of Western wizards, which is also called magic. It''s simr to our Path teachings!"


    Eric had been in the West for many years. He had alsoe into contact with some wizards. As if remembering something terrible, his face turned pale and his pupils shrank.


    Das frowned and asked calmly, "Can we ovee this with Path techniques?"


    Eric shook his head and said, "This isThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    high-level witchcraft. It isn''t an exaggeration to say it''s an immortal method. They can bring the mes from the Earth''s core and rain fire on the world!"


    "That means we can''t counter it?" Das looked scared and disappointed. "The chance is slight!


    "More than 12 years ago, a small ind in the West revolted. A wizard took action and burned the entire


    ind to ashes with fire from


    core of the earth. With the


    the center, the sea boiled with a


    radius of 800 kilometers, causing


    as


    the death of millions of marine life!


    "At that time, the media only reported that the ind was an active volcano and I was the eruption that caused a huge natural disaster!"


    Eric uncovered the truth he learned back then with a solemn expression.


    Everyone''s expression changed.


    Only someone at the Tribtion Realm could create such huge lethal damage, right?


    Das quickly pulled himself


    together and said, "Cultivators below the Mystique Loyalty Realm will enter Hollow Mountain first. If fire rains from the sky, you''ll leave immediately through the


    over


    underground river!"


    "Understood!"


    Whether they were people from the Divine Strategy Squadron, sects, or secr warriors, they all responded with salute.


    After all, they were under the Divine Strategy Squadron''s leadership. Even their leaders would obey the arrangements of the deputymander of the Divine Strategy Squadron.


    Under Gerbind''s and June''s organization, everyone entered the cave through Hollow Mountain in an orderly manner.


    Inside the cave, there was a shaft with a diameter of three meters. It was bottomless and pitch-ck. One could hear the sound of water surging down the well.


    Outside, Merrick said solemnly, "How about we kill them directly? We can''t let them think that we Eastern cultivators are easily bullied!"
