However, the Executing Evil Order was not something that could be issued casually.
It required the joint agreement of all major powers before an Executing Evil Order could be dispatched.
Originally, the Monster Slaying Alliance had offered a high reward to deal with the Evil Spirit race, attracting a large number of cultivators to slay them.
Now, with the re-issuance of the Executing Evil Order, it was clear that the situation had become extremely dire.
"Forget it, I should focus on improving my strength first," Jiang Li took a deep breath, thinking to himself.
After witnessing the battle between the Evil Cloud Saint Venerable and others, Jiang Li knew that his strength was still far from that of peak powerhouses.
Only by continuously improving his strength could he control his own destiny.
Jiang Li then continued to recover his spiritual energy within the formation.
After a while, Jiang Li's condition finally returned to its peak. He was spirited and his spiritual energy was exceptionally vigorous.
"Master, we have obtained the secret treasure of the Heavenly Extreme Quasi-Emperor. Should we return to the Eastern Wilderness now!" At this moment, the Nightmare Beast's voice echoed in Jiang Li's ear.
Jiang Li nodded. His gains from coming to the Northern Region were already more than enough, far exceeding his expectations. It was time to go back.
Moreover, an important item like the Immortal Spirit Dao Crystal had to be used in a safe place. Returning to the Eastern Wilderness was the best choice.
Immediately after, Jiang Li began to dismantle the formation, preparing to leave the Sun Moon Pool.
After dismantling the formation, Jiang Li flew into the sky and sped towards the Eastern Wilderness.
...
Half a month later.
Eastern Wilderness.
Great Profound Holy Land.
The Great Profound Holy Land was originally a top cultivation sacred ground in the Eastern Wilderness, with beautiful scenery and ethereal spiritual energy everywhere.
However, at present, the entire Great Profound Holy Land was filled with waves of monstrous demonic energy.
Occasionally, one could see large amounts of vital energy surging in various parts of the Great Profound Holy Land.
In many places, one could see a large number of disciples of the Great Profound Holy Land, wearing their disciple uniforms, but performing menial tasks.
Disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect, many of whom were filled with black demonic energy, were cultivating in the spiritual lands of the Great Profound Holy Land.
The disciples of the Great Profound Holy Land could only work outside, while wistfully watching the disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect cultivate.
When the disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect had free time, they would occasionally give pointers to the disciples of the Great Profound Holy Land.
However, perhaps due to the differences in their allegiances, there were occasional minor conflicts between the disciples of both sides.
"Elder Xu, look, aren't your Great Profound Holy Land disciples and our disciples getting along quite harmoniously?" In a forest on Mount Great Profound, a cold and peerlessly beautiful woman said with a gentle expression.
The woman was wearing a black long dress, her figure was graceful, and her exquisite eyes carried a faint smile.
Beside the peerlessly beautiful woman was a white-haired old man in a gray robe.
The white-haired old man was the elder of the Great Profound Holy Land, Xu Weiming.
Not far from the two, a disciple of the Primordial Demon Sect casually slapped a disciple of the Great Profound Holy Land. A crisp slapping sound echoed through the forest.
"Your Highness the Divine Maiden speaks wisely. We are indeed getting along harmoniously. It's just that our disciples are a bit mischievous and need to be disciplined!"
Xu Weiming looked at the scene not far away, without even lifting his eyelids, and then slowly said.
Xia Qingying looked at Xu Weiming deeply and said nothing. The two then walked towards the summit of Mount Great Profound.
At the summit of Mount Great Profound, there was a massive palace. It was originally called the Great Profound Palace, but after the Primordial Demon Sect completely absorbed the Great Profound Holy Land, the Great Profound Palace was renamed the Demonic Profound Palace.
Within the Demonic Profound Palace were many elders of the Primordial Demon Sect, as well as quite a few elders of the Great Profound Holy Land. However, these elders of the Great Profound Holy Land sat below the main hall with looks of fear and unease.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Divine Maiden!" As Xia Qingying entered the Demonic Profound Palace, all the elders bowed respectfully.
Xia Qingying's expression remained as cold and serene as usual as she slowly walked towards the black throne at the head of the hall, as if she were accustomed to such a scene.
"What about the Executing Evil Order from the Monster Slaying Alliance?" After sitting on the throne, Xia Qingying asked indifferently.
"Your Highness the Divine Maiden, various powers from the Eastern Wilderness, Northern Plains, and Western Desert have dispatched many top powerhouses to provide support. Those who were somewhat disobedient were also put in their place. Tens of thousands of cultivators have already gathered in the Heavenly Star Sea, and they will surely be able to block the Evil Spirit race's advance!" said an elder of the Primordial Demon Sect from below the Demonic Profound Palace.
Xia Qingying's eyes narrowed slightly. With tens of thousands of cultivators gathered, perhaps they could truly succeed.
"By the way, what about the Southern Domain? Have those people in the Southern Domain not responded to the Executing Evil Order?" Xia Qingying suddenly seemed to recall something and frowned.
The elder had just mentioned the Eastern Wilderness, Northern Plains, and Western Desert dispatching a large number of cultivators, but there was no mention of the Southern Domain.
"Your Highness the Divine Maiden, the Executing Evil Order sent to the Southern Domain has received no response. The Monster Slaying Alliance has dispatched many cultivators to investigate, but they have also received no reply!" At this moment, another elder added.
There was no response at all. The other elders in the hall exchanged glances.
The Southern Domain, like the Eastern Wilderness, was a relatively wild great state. Although its power was weaker, it still had quite a few sects and forces.
Such an important matter as the Executing Evil Order could not possibly receive no response at all, especially since it involved an ancient covenant.
"Report this matter to the Chaos Holy Land and let them handle it!" Xia Qingying said slowly.
The elder nodded and immediately went to send the message.
The people in the hall continued to discuss various matters concerning the Desolate Ancient Continent.
There was discussion about the movements of the dark races after occupying the Central Continent, as well as the various actions taken by the Chaos Holy Land during this period.
There was also the clash between the many newly joined forces in the Eastern Region, as well as the numerous internal affairs of the Primordial Demon Sect.
All the matters that influenced the pattern of the Desolate Ancient Continent that night were discussed and deliberated in this hall.
"Is there still no movement from the Samsara Divine Hall?" Xia Qingying picked up a jade slip, looked at the information within, and then asked.
"Yes, Your Highness the Divine Maiden. The Samsara Divine Hall has been silent since the dark races broke through the Dark Abyss. It is only rumored that not long ago, people from the Samsara Divine Hall seemed to have appeared in the Heavenly Star Sea!" replied an elder respectfully.
Appeared in the Heavenly Star Sea? Xia Qingying's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Samsara Divine Hall held a very special position on their Desolate Ancient Continent. They were powerful and extremely overbearing.
Due to the checks and balances of the ancient covenant, the Samsara Divine Hall dared not cause too much trouble and could only engage in clandestine activities.
However, with the current changes in the situation of the Desolate Ancient Continent, even the slightest clandestine action by the Samsara Divine Hall could cause unimaginable damage to the entire Desolate Ancient Continent.
