High above the sky, the Thousand Hands Flying Sky Ship descended from the clouds, casting a huge shadow.

Below, a mighty steel army, having reached the Firefly Sea, saw a large number of Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples leap down, surrounding the area in a besieging manner.

Su Jie stood at the bow of the flying magical boat, his gaze fixed distantly on the mountain gate of Guanchao Pavilion below.

This was Su Jie's first time here. In terms of the size of the mountain gate, Guanchao Pavilion was much larger than Ghost Ridge Palace, and instead of being located in desolate mountains and wilderness, it was situated in the blessed area of Firefly Sea.

"Soon, this place will be ours."

Su Jie's lips curled up. He had already included Guanchao Pavilion in the future development plan of Ghost Ridge Palace. Leaving such a treasure in the hands of Guanchao Pavilion was truly a waste; it was better to let him manage it.

Thinking so, a loud shout came from below.

"Su Jie of Ghost Ridge Palace, do you know what you are doing?"

Then he saw a figure with black and white hair flying up, confronting Su Jie across the air. It was the Great Elder Dong Yu of Guanchao Pavilion.

"Hehe, I suppose this is Elder Dong? Don't you Guanchao Pavilion know what we are doing? How did Guanchao Pavilion treat Ghost Ridge Palace back then? Ghost Ridge Palace now intends to return the favor in kind."

Su Jie wore a smiling face as gentle as a spring breeze, recalling how Guanchao Pavilion led Qingzhou's Righteous Sect to besiege Ghost Ridge Palace. Su Jie was a witness; he had even fought against Guanchao Pavilion's Immortal Seed, Wei Ji, gaining fame in Qingzhou and becoming the devilish Immortal Seed of Ghost Ridge Palace.

But that did not prevent Su Jie from having a poor opinion of Guanchao Pavilion, because he nearly had to flee the world and become homeless, let alone master Ghost Ridge Palace, this Demon Sect.

"A mere fledgling dares to boast shamelessly. Our Guanchao Pavilion simply does not wish to engage in wanton slaughter. Do you really believe that our Guanchao Pavilion is afraid of your Ghost Ridge Palace? Now, the entire Qingzhou's righteous comrades are gathered here. If your Ghost Ridge Palace dares make a move, you'll face both physical and spiritual annihilation."

Dong Yu snorted coldly, full of murderous intent, seemingly not placing the army of Ghost Ridge Palace in his eyes at all.

"That's right, Elder Dong is correct. Ghost Ridge Palace is only a minor player, hiding in desolate mountains and wilderness, yet still dares to act so arrogantly. This time, we definitely can't let them go!"

"Su Jie, you devil, have only been the Sect Master for a few days, and you can't wait to start a war. Saying you're a hothead is flattery; you're simply courting death."

"Qingzhou is not a place for you to speak, Su Jie. If you don't withdraw your troops immediately, by this time next year, it will be your death anniversary."

As Dong Yu's words fell, all the powerful figures from the Qingzhou's righteous sects who came to aid Guanchao Pavilion spoke up, glaring angrily at Su Jie.

Su Jie's smile did not diminish, his gaze scanning the audience. His ferocious and ruthless eyes made many righteous powerhouses' hairs stand on end, as if a sword's edge was pressing against their throats, making it hard to breathe.

It's hard to imagine how one could have such a terrifying look while smiling — two apparently contradictory emotions harmoniously coexisted in Su Jie.

"Jie jie jie jie jie!"

Su Jie let out a loud laugh, his voice shaking the scene: "Guanchao Pavilion, you really have quite a few lackeys, even finding three Taoist Platform Realm experts to back you up. I must applaud you. Listening to all of you, seems like you wish to tear me alive, then I shall give you the chance. Come, let me see your skills. It's perfect to clean you all up today at this place."

Su Jie's arrogant and disdainful words ignited the scene, with curses immediately echoing through the Firefly Sea.

The three Taoist Platform Realm experts from Golden Sword Sect, Dragon and Tiger Sect, and Cloud Sea Cave were furious. Some were so enraged they were ready to rise and attack.

"Everyone, calm down. Don't be provoked by this devil. His personal power is unfathomable. He intends to lure us out of the Mountain Protection Array to defeat us one by one. Don't fall for his trick."

Dong Yu timely voiced his objection. Currently, Guanchao Pavilion had only three Taoist Platform Realm experts, including himself. Adding the three Qingzhou Taoist Platform Realm experts who came to assist, there were six in total.

It appeared stronger than the Ghost Ridge Palace side. There, including Su Jie, they only had four Taoist Platform Realm figures. However, Su Jie's combat prowess alone was not something an ordinary Taoist Platform Realm can compare with.

Judging from how he effortlessly killed Li Yuze, Dong Yu had little confidence in winning against Su Jie's strength.

Let alone, Su Jie also brought formidable figures such as the Thousand-Handed Centipede, Ghost Bride, and annual ring worm, all top-tier in the Taoist Platform Realm, making Ghost Ridge Palace's high-end force even more terrifying.

And sect wars are about high-end strength; the lower-level cannon fodder doesn't determine the outcome of the war.

"Hehe, seems like all just talkers here; with such courage, you're better off not stepping out to help."

Su Jie gave a cold snort, clapped his hands fiercely.

"Heavenly Might!"

Rumble!

As Su Jie's cold voice emerged, clouds stirred from all directions, and spiritual power surged within a hundred-mile radius. Rolling thunderclouds enveloped the sky dome, forming a thunderous giant lion roaring to the heavens, stomping heavily on the ground.

The body constructed by Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, this thunderous giant lion was incredibly powerful, its roar shattering the sky layer, and touching the forests below, uprooting countless towering ancient trees.

In the next moment, under Su Jie's command, the thunderous giant lion trod forward, crashing into the Firefly Sea.

Buzz!

Above Firefly Sea, a starlight shield rose, covering the entire area of Guanchao Pavilion's mountain gate—it was the Mountain Protection Array of Guanchao Pavilion.
