To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Chapter 2780 Six Major Forces

After Zeng Niu left, Chang Chun looked at Shan Yu, who was playing with the spirit sword, with envy and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shan on obtaining an eighth-order spirit sword. Your strength has reached a new level."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shan. This is a privilege that even some Mahayana cultivators don't receive." Yang Ji looked at Shan Yu with envy.

"Once Fellow Daoist Shan Yu refines this spirit sword, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator would be no match for it," Wu Daqing said enviously.

"Haha, it's not that powerful. I haven't even mastered the Body Opening Technique yet, and I haven't completed the Integration Stage of the Five Elements Technique. I'm still far from that."

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be envious. Didn't Young Friend Zeng just say that you will soon have your own eighth-tier spiritual weapon?"

"Sigh, I hope so," Qian Tong sighed.

The others also had their eyes sparkling, filled with anticipation but also some worry, since the eighth-tier spiritual weapon had not yet fallen into their hands, and they felt uneasy.

"Senior Shan Yu, please complete the refining of the spirit sword as soon as possible. Currently, various forces around us are eyeing Nine Dragons Mountain covetously. The faster you refine the spirit sword, the safer Nine Dragons Mountain will be," Chang Qing reminded him.

"Alright, then I'll start refining the spirit sword now." Dan Yu himself couldn't wait to refine the eighth-order spirit sword, so he took the spirit sword back to the cultivation space and focused on refining it.

"Seniors, you should also hurry up and cultivate, because a great battle will probably break out soon."

"Understood, we will definitely cultivate with all our might." After saying that, Chang Chun turned around and returned to his cultivation space to cultivate with all his might.

In fact, even without being reminded, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators would never slack off. The cultivation environment provided by the Battle Sect is so good that they wish they could seize every second to cultivate.

They've worked so hard for so many years, isn't it all for the hope of having a good environment for cultivation?

Jiulong Mountain is actually located in the western region of the Zhongyuan Continent, close to the Annihilation Void. Because the previous mountain lord was very powerful, the area he controlled had a good cultivation environment and a lot of resources.

In previous struggles with various forces, Jiulong Mountain had always been on the upper hand.

Over the years, Jiulong Mountain and various forces in the vicinity have been fighting each other, and deep hatred has accumulated. Now that the surrounding forces have heard that the mountain lord has fallen, they will naturally not let go of such a rare opportunity.

In the eastern part of Kowloon, a massive black airship sits on a mountaintop platform.

This is a seventh-tier, fifth-grade flying boat. It is twenty miles long and ten miles wide, resembling an island with many pavilions and towers built on it.

There were many cultivators coming and going on the flying boat, and in the very center of the flying boat, there was a luxurious hall, from which eight auras belonging to the Integration Stage cultivators emanated.

Above the main hall was a throne, upon which lay a burly man in black armor. This man was tall and had rugged features, exuding a strong aura of dominance. There were strange demonic markings on his left cheek.

At this moment, he was holding a gourd of spirit wine and pouring it into his mouth without restraint. On both sides of the hall, there were several Nascent Soul stage cultivators, each with a different appearance.

There were old men, handsome scholars, short dwarfs, and even a bald monk, but the rosary hanging around his neck was made of fist-sized skulls, which looked very eerie.

Not only was this cultivator sinister, but all the cultivators in the entire hall were sinister.

The Ten Demon Sect is a force of evil cultivators gathered in the Central Yuan Continent. There are ten evil cultivators in the Integration Stage within the Ten Demon Sect. The leader is a demon cultivator named Yin Luo, who is in the late Integration Stage and whose strength is no less than that of the Great Master of Nine Dragons Mountain.

These Ten Demonic Sect cultivators are notorious for their evil deeds and have a terrible reputation in the Central Yuan Continent. Over the years, countless lives have been lost at the hands of these evil cultivators.

However, they are powerful, and other forces cannot do anything about them.

"Grand Master, we have already taken control of a large number of resource-rich areas in Jiulong Mountain, but they haven't reacted at all. Could this be a trap?" The dwarf on the left looked up at Yin Luo.

"Hahaha, what's there to be afraid of? Only their mountain lord has any strength in Nine Dragons Mountain. Now that man is dead, Shan Yu alone is no match for my Ten Demon Sect."

"I think we shouldn't be worried about Jiulong Mountain, but rather those guys from Giant God Mountain," the bald monk said with a loud laugh.

"This time, Giant God Mountain has sent a total of nine Nascent Soul stage experts, including Giant Spirit God. They are indeed not easy to deal with," the scholar-like evil cultivator said in a deep voice.

Yin Luo's eyes flashed, and then he slowly said, "Apart from the Giant Spirit God, who is someone we need to be careful of, the rest of the Giant God Mountain are not to be feared."

"Although that guy is at the late stage of the Integration Realm just like me, I still can't see through him. In all the years we've fought, he has never used his full strength. He's been hiding his true abilities very well."

Mount Giant is another powerful force in the vicinity, with thirteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Among them, the strongest is a late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivator named Giant Spirit God. Although they are both human, Yin Luo is somewhat wary of Giant Spirit God.

"We should try our best to avoid conflict with them this time. The most urgent task is to seize all the resource land near Jiulong Mountain as soon as possible."

"Over the years, Jiulong Mountain has controlled a lot of resource land. As long as we seize it and manage it well, we can take the resources produced each year and exchange them for some resources that are useful to us."

"But the Giant God Mountain is also taking action, as are the Demon Wolf Ridge and the Soulless Cave. Our people have already clashed with them several times."

"The Demon Wolf Ridge and the Soulless Cave are a bit troublesome. Send someone to contact Giant God Mountain and ask if they are interested in dealing with the Demon Wolf Ridge and the Soulless Cave together with us."

“Although we don’t get along, we are still human, and we can’t let other races take advantage of us.” A glint flashed in Yin Luo’s eyes.

"Alright, I will immediately arrange for someone to contact Mount Giant God." The dark-faced old man at the head of the left nodded and then began to make the arrangements.

Next, after several communications, the Ten Demon Sect and Giant God Mountain formed an alliance to deal with Demon Wolf Ridge and Soulless Cave, while also trying their best to seize the resources of Nine Dragon Mountain.

As fellow humans, the Ten Demon Sect and Giant God Mountain cooperated very well, and together they gained a great advantage in seizing resources from Nine Dragon Mountain.

After suffering several losses, Demon Wolf Ridge and Soulless Cave formed an alliance and gradually recovered from their decline in the ensuing competition.

The two alliances have fought many battles over the resource-rich areas, but because the Nine Dragons Mountain issue has not yet been resolved, both sides have exercised some restraint.

In the end, seeing that this was not a solution, the two powerful figures agreed to end the conflict and divide up Jiulong Mountain together.
