Chapter 782: Chapter 439: Withered Glory Sacred Land!

The location of Heavenly Gate City is not within any Forbidden Land.

In order to conveniently communicate with various Celestials, and to insert personnel into the Holy Alliance, the surroundings of Heavenly Gate City are not in a remote Forbidden Land.

This nearby location actually falls within the range of the "Withered Glory Sacred Land."

"Although the foundation of the Heavenly Gate has been destroyed, the Celestials hidden within the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance are difficult to eradicate completely."

Lin Yan, with a complex expression, said: "The location of Heavenly Gate City is on the edge of Withered Glory Sacred Land, do you think... the Withered Glory Sacred Land is aware?"

Shangguan Youqi, with a calm expression, said: "If you’re completely unaware while it’s right under your nose, it can only prove that this Holy Land is filled from top to bottom with incompetents!"

"But a Holy Land cannot be entirely filled with incompetents."

Lin Yan said: "It can only prove that the upper echelons of the Holy Land are colluding with the Heavenly Gate, and may have even declared themselves Celestials..."

He looked ahead and said: "However, prior to the battle at Heavenly Gate City... no one from the Withered Glory Sacred Land came to investigate, presumably it’s the tactic of the Holy Alliance."

As the voice fell, a figure swiftly approached from ahead.

"Greetings, Saint Master! Greetings, Lord Shangguan!"

The person appears middle-aged and bows deeply.

This person possesses Cultivation at the Creation Peak, but the treasure sword at his waist is evidently not ordinary.

With this treasure sword, it roughly possesses the power to break through the First Heaven.

"Are you the Deputy Commander of the Holy Alliance Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall?"

Lin Yan looked at this person’s attire and said solemnly: "Have you already targeted Withered Glory Sacred Land?"

"By command of the Alliance Hierarch, our Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall Supreme Commander has already surrounded Withered Glory Sacred Land."

This Deputy Commander gave a greeting and said: "But Kurong Saint Master prematurely sealed off the Holy Land, making it difficult to break through. If we forcefully breach... I’m afraid this Holy Land would transform into a Forbidden Land!"

If the Master of the Holy Land dies, the Supreme Town Object will inevitably be unstable, and within the Holy Land, turmoil is bound to ensue, making it difficult for the Human Clan to survive.

Without the suppression of the Holy Land, the territories of the Three Mansions under Withered Glory Sacred Land’s command will descend into chaos.

"Surrounding the Kurong Saint Master?"

Shangguan Youqi said in surprise: "In past generations, the battle strength of Withered Glory Sacred Land far exceeded that of Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land... It seems your Main Hall Commander of the Demon Suppression Department is quite capable!"

"..."

This Deputy Commander seemed unaware of Shangguan Youqi’s true origins, only appearing quite surprised.

This newly appointed Supreme Elder was previously unheard of, but suddenly ranked in the Supreme Pavilion, causing many to be astonished.

However, in the vast regions of the Holy Alliance, where strong individuals emerge abundantly, some reclusive experts not appearing publicly are within reason.

But even if they are reclusive experts, ultimately being on this land, why do they seem so unfamiliar with the Holy Alliance?

"The Commander, indeed, possesses extraordinary skill and was once one of the candidates to become the Master of the Holy Alliance."

The Deputy Commander said so, and then added: "Subordinate has been commanded to wait here, requesting the Supreme Elder to assist in breaking through Withered Glory Sacred Land..."

"Only requesting his assistance?"

The Little White Ape poked its head out angrily: "Isn’t this looking down on my master?"

"..."

The Deputy Commander’s eye twitched slightly and said: "The Commander said that the Saint Master is a guest from outside, and is not currently one of our Holy Alliance... We have no qualification to request the Saint Master to act!"

"Such flattering words..."

The Little White Ape mocked: "From Southern King City, to the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, all the way to the Heavenly Gate, wasn’t it all resolved thanks to my master? Aren’t you just using my master as bait to catch so many big fishes and eliminate the Holy Alliance’s hidden dangers?"

This Deputy Commander appeared quite helpless, looked towards the Saint Master and said in a low voice: "If you are willing to assist, naturally we have no reason to refuse."

"What does the Demon Suppression Department intend to do?" asked Lin Yan.

"Capture Kurong Saint Master alive!" the Deputy Commander said solemnly.

"Capture alive?" Lin Yan’s gaze tightened slightly.

"Yes, capture him alive, transfer him to Heavenly Destiny City, where the Alliance Hierarch will personally act to strip the Supreme Town Object, thus preserving Withered Glory Sacred Land and preventing it from becoming a Forbidden Land," responded the Deputy Commander.

"What if he can’t be captured alive?" Lin Yan asked solemnly.

"Kill him on the spot!" the Deputy Commander said solemnly: "The Alliance Hierarch has ordered that if the Master of Withered Glory Sacred Land cannot be captured alive, then eradicate the upper echelons of Withered Glory Sacred Land! Strive to migrate the population of the territories under the command of the Three Mansions."

"Strive?" Shangguan Youqi frowned slightly.

"These territories of the Three Mansions, each mansion and each city are spaced apart, including Blessed Lands, large-scale Pure Lands, and Refugees residing within medium to small Pure Lands..."

The Deputy Commander paused for a moment, then said: "The population size is too large!"

He sighed and said: "Although we can mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources, it can only manage to relocate a portion of the population, but not all of them!"

"And the surrounding Holy Lands cannot possibly receive the entire population under one Holy Land’s command, at most accepting thirty percent!"

"Beyond that, common people can hardly survive, making migration unnecessary."

"Therefore, now we can only strive to capture Kurong Saint Master alive and minimize losses!"

"If eventually unable to capture him alive, then we can only abandon Withered Glory Sacred Land..."

The Deputy Commander sighed and said: "It’s a pity."

He reached into his garment, took out a dossier, and handed it over.

Lin Yan glanced at it, appearing solemn, and then handed it to Shangguan Youqi.

"If it’s the long-accumulated hidden dangers of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land and Immortal God Arena’s influence, then abandoning Withered Glory Sacred Land now, and recovering after sixty years, wouldn’t be considered a pity."

The Deputy Commander said softly: "We have confirmed that the current situation in Withered Glory Sacred Land is stable, and the influence of the Immortal God Arena is very small... The betrayal of the Holy Alliance is purely due to the current Saint Master himself."

The dossier records that the current Saint Master is the biological son of the previous Kurong Saint Master.
