Chapter 784: Chapter 440: One Leaf Withers and Thrives, Life and Death Interchange

Outside the Withered Glory Sacred Land.

Over 300,000 elite soldiers, stationed along the perimeter of the Sacred Land, gradually made encampments and set up military formations.

They are the coastal border guards of the eastern line.

But the person leading them is the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall.

He has been ordered by the Alliance Hierarch to borrow the coastal guards.

Only because the personnel within the Demon Suppression Department of the Withered Glory Sacred Land can no longer be trusted.

It now seems that from the beginning of the establishment of the Demon Suppression Department’s branch within the Withered Glory Sacred Land, it has already been interfered with by the Celestial hidden among the high ranks of the Holy Alliance.

"So from the beginning, you’ve been watching me?"

The voice of the Kurong Saint Master came from within the Sacred Land, with a sigh: "There was just commotion on the other side, I haven’t even personally investigated yet, and you’ve brought an army to barge in..."

Outside the Sacred Land, the Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall, with arms folded, said calmly: "I wasn’t watching you, but the people protecting the Heavenly Gate! Wherever the Heavenly Gate is, I take my troops and go there!"

"I told the Heavenly Gate Master back then, the current Human Race Saint Master is already in the spotlight. If we bring him back, it would most likely be inviting trouble, but this Physical Body Evil, harboring the thoughts of millions, is nearly insane. He wouldn’t listen to my advice, and brought disaster upon himself, affecting my Withered Glory Sacred Land."

Within the Sacred Land, the Kurong Saint Master sighed and then said: "The Holy Alliance sent you here to besiege my Withered Glory Sacred Land... Now I intend to close it off, and you cannot break this Sacred Land, so do you intend to just stalemate like this?"

"In fact, my bringing troops here is merely to besiege, not to break the Withered Glory Sacred Land."

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall said slowly: "There’s just one thing, now you’re surrounded, either surrender and come with me to Heavenly Destiny City... or the Supreme Elder comes personally with the Supreme Treasure to breach the Sacred Land, and you will surely die!"

"Going back to Heavenly Destiny City, it’s nothing more than using Secret Technique to strip the Supreme Town Object of the Withered Glory Sacred Land."

The Kurong Saint Master said indifferently: "However, it’s relatively dignified, just dying a few days later, that’s all."

The Supreme Commander said in a deep voice: "If you surrender, the Dao lineage of the Withered Glory Sacred Land, which has lasted through the ages, can be preserved."

"The Holy Alliance merely wishes to preserve a powerful force to protect these weak ants-like Human Clan, what talk is there of preserving the Dao lineage of my Withered Glory Sacred Land?"

The Kurong Saint Master sneered coldly: "I never care about ants-like Human Clan! As for the Dao lineage of the Withered Glory Sacred Land... If I am destined to fall, what significance does the transmission of this lineage have to me?"

After the voice fell, his tone turned cold, saying: "The Holy Alliance has only one choice, which is for the Alliance Hierarch to swear an oath, representing the Holy Alliance, to forgive the past without consequence, from now on I will lead the Withered Glory Sacred Land wholeheartedly to protect all beings."

The Supreme Commander said: "If I promise on behalf of the Alliance Hierarch, can you believe it?"

The Kurong Saint Master said slowly: "Only the Alliance Hierarch has the qualification to represent the Holy Alliance, only his oath can I believe."

"Then there’s nothing to talk about."

The Supreme Commander said calmly: "If every Master of a Sacred Land, in the future, acts like you... the Holy Alliance will be nothing but a loose organization, and every Saint Master will proclaim themselves as kings! The rules of the Holy Alliance, even if you are a Saint Master, should you commit a mistake, you must be held accountable!"

"Then from now on, the Holy Alliance should lose the Withered Glory Sacred Land."

The Kurong Saint Master said slowly: "If the Holy Alliance is unwilling to give this lifeline, why should I fulfill your wishes? Even if I were to end my life here, turning the Sacred Land into a Forbidden Land, I would never hand over the Supreme Town Object to the Holy Alliance!"

The Commander said slowly: "You are destined to die, yet still unwilling to give your Withered Glory Sacred Land a path to survival... You are far more ruthless than the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master!"

The Kurong Saint Master said calmly: "Whether it’s the transmission of the Sacred Land’s Dao lineage or ordinary mortals, they’re all less important than my life... Want to use some lofty ideals of the Human Clan to pressure me? Between heaven and earth, I alone am supreme, and apart from me, all are ants, this is the only truth!"

"Even without the existence of the Heavenly Gate, you count as a pure Celestial! But do not forget, you see all beings as ants, while in the eyes of the Holy Alliance, you are the arrogant ant."

The Commander said slowly: "Do you really think that by using your death, you can make my Holy Alliance compromise? Let me tell you frankly, today, either you surrender and then you die, with the Sacred Land preserved! Or... you die, and the Sacred Land perishes!"

He said in a calm tone: "You think of threatening the Holy Alliance with the people within the Sacred Land’s range, if it were the previous generation’s Alliance Hierarch, maybe they would agree... but the current Alliance Hierarch is not one to be soft-hearted! Mercy doesn’t command soldiers, and I wouldn’t be ordered to lead an army here if I were a kind-hearted person!"

"You must die to deter all the Saint Masters!"

"If you do not die, all the Saint Masters will follow your example, and the Holy Alliance will soon only exist in name!"

"Under the Holy Alliance, there are hundreds of Sacred Lands, and compared to your one Withered Glory Sacred Land, I can still distinguish which is lighter and which is heavier."

"Dao brother, I have already stated the Holy Alliance’s stance."

The Commander said coldly: "If you have even a shred of conscience left, open the Sacred Land and come with me! If not... there’s no need to talk any further!"

"If I cannot live, there is nothing to discuss."

The Kurong Saint Master said slowly: "If I die today, you might plan to relocate part of the people, leaving the range of the Withered Glory Sacred Land, and invest them elsewhere... but if I die today, these Three Mansions will not be at peace, and the loss will be greater than you anticipated!"

"..."

The Supreme Commander remained silent.

He slightly tilted his head, and beside him, a figure in white robe approached, speaking in a low voice: "In every city, every Blessed Land, every large-scale Pure Land within the Withered Glory Sacred Land, sacrifices to evil spirits have been secretly conducted and verified, it is a contract personally set by the Kurong Saint Master."
