Chapter 62: Withdrawal of Troops_1
"Changeable Mansion!"
Seeing the ten individuals appear, the expressions of the Five Swords Servants and Four Knives Guests shifted slightly. They gathered, Sword Qi and blade radiances swirling around them, ready to strike at any moment. It was clear they were extremely wary of the Changeable Mansion.
"Protector Eagle, what are you here for?" Sword One asked solemnly, his mind racing. Their mission this time was to obstruct the Qin Empire’s conquest of the Holy Fire Land, but the Changeable Mansion’s arrival undoubtedly upset their plans.
As for the reason they were obstructing the Qin Empire, it had to start from two hundred thousand years ago.
Two hundred thousand years ago, the power of the Changeable Mansion reached its peak. The incumbent mansion master broke through to the Saint Realm, earning the title Impermanence Saint. Not content with ruling a single Dao Realm, he began to expand externally. To resist the Changeable Mansion’s invasion, neighboring Dao Realms began to ally, with the Lin Family at their head. The allied forces included the Sword Sect, Knife Mansion, Great Azure Empire, Gun City, and Ten Thousand Flowers Sect.
The battle affected nine Dao Realms, darkening the sky and leaving the sun and moon devoid of light. Countless creatures died, bones littered the ground, and flowing blood dyed the earth red. Both sides paid a heavy price; over a hundred Reaching the Holy Realm experts fell, most of them killed by the Impermanence Saint.
Finally, the Lin Family detonated their inherited holy weapon, severely injuring the Impermanence Saint and bringing the war to a temporary halt. It is worth mentioning that the native forces of the East Ancient Domain, Holy Fire Land, and Purple Lightning Domain were wiped out, later becoming the territories of the Qin Empire, Holy Fire Sect, and Sky Thunder Sect, respectively.
To preserve the outcome of the war, the nine Dao Realms signed a pact: all forces could only rule a single Dao Realm. If the Qin Empire were to conquer the Holy Fire Land, the pact would become void, and the Changeable Mansion could legitimately expand externally—a scenario the Sword Sect and other powers desperately wished to avoid.
"Naturally, we are here at the invitation of the Holy Fire Sect to stop the expansion of the Qin Empire!" Protector Eagle said casually, his gaze deep and piercing like an old eagle’s. Finally, his eyes rested on Zhao Yun. Among all present, he only sensed a hint of threat from the latter.
