This allowed them to break free from constraints and their combat power to surge, enabling them to use the power of the pseudo-order to encircle and annihilate David, quell the upheaval, and suppress unforeseen events.
Those who uphold order will use them to eliminate this unpredictable force that dares to see the truth, break free of its cage, and overturn the old order.
They were happy to use this opportunity to break through their cultivation levels, consolidate their hegemony, and eliminate potential threats.
“Pass on my orders!”
Si Cangyuan gave the order in a deep voice, his tone as cold as frost, “Immediately send a message to the four great families of Yunlan, Xuanqiu, Chili, and Moyuan, and gather all their ancestors, elites, and combat forces to form the All-Heavens Pseudo-Order Alliance!”
“At the same time, a message was sent to the Cangming family, ordering them to immediately express their stance, send troops to join the alliance, and jointly suppress the rebels!”
“Raise the banner of ‘Suppressing the rebels, stabilizing the Heavenly Way, and protecting all the heavens,’ and send out the entire army to besiege the Lingxi territory, kill David, and wipe out the rebels!”
“Anyone who submits to Ling tide and follows David shall be regarded as a traitorous accomplice and shall be exterminated without exception!”
The order was passed down through the ranks and spread throughout the entire territory of the Si Lu family in an instant.
At the same time, the four great families of Yunlan, Xuanqiu, Chili, and Moyuan all received the message.
The patriarchs of the four great families were all secretly blessed by the Order, and all of them broke through to the peak of the third rank of Immortal Lord, with their cultivation level soaring, their combat power skyrocketing, and their foundation greatly increased.
For tens of thousands of years, the seven great families have divided the heavens, monopolized resources, harbored their own ulterior motives, and engaged in open and covert struggles, never truly united.
But today, David’s appearance has completely shattered all the old patterns.
With Lingxi’s allegiance, the Cangming Dark Alliance’s defection, and the defection of all the lower-level cultivators, the ruling foundation of the seven great families is crumbling.
If David is not eliminated, their hegemonic order in the Twenty-Fifth Heaven will inevitably collapse completely.
We are all in this together, whether we prosper or suffer.
Faced with shared interests, the estrangement and struggles of tens of thousands of years were put aside. The five great families united as never before, with all their resources and strength poured into forming a massive coalition of millions of cultivators.
Only the Cangming family remained silent after receiving the message.
Cang Minghan sat upright in his main hall, looking at the communication jade in his hand, a meaningful cold smile appearing on his lips.
He had already secretly formed an alliance with Lingxi, fully supporting David in overthrowing the old order.
Upon receiving Si Cangyuan’s message about the alliance, he didn’t even bother with a perfunctory reply. He directly crushed the communication jade slip and ordered his men in a deep voice: “Pass down the order that the entire Cangming clan close its doors, seal off its territory, and not participate in any clan disputes. If anyone asks, say that the clan is currently in seclusion to worship their ancestors and has no time to spare.”
After his attendants withdrew, Cang Minghan stood alone in the hall, gazing in the direction of Lingxi City, and muttered to himself, “Si Cangyuan, the hegemony of your five great families for tens of thousands of years has come to an end.”
Banners blotted out the sun, armor filled the sky, spiritual light pierced the heavens, and the carnage was overwhelming.
The army of millions of cultivators from the five great families traversed thousands of miles of territory, crushing mountains and rivers and shattering seas of clouds. With the overwhelming power to suppress all heavens and quell rebellions, they marched mightily toward Lingxi Main City.
Wherever the army passed, mountains and rivers trembled, spiritual energy dissipated, and the wind and clouds changed color. Countless subordinate forces trembled and dared not look directly at them.
Along the way, the cultivators from the five great families kept cursing Lingxi and Cangming.
“The Lingxi clan has betrayed the alliance of noble families, sided with the traitor David, and willingly become his lackeys. This is a disgrace to all cultivators!”
“That old scoundrel Cang Minghan, he’s always spouting righteousness and morality, but when it really matters, he’s two-faced and doesn’t even dare to respond to the alliance meeting. Coward! Traitor!”
“Once we’ve wiped out David, we’ll deal with those two traitors who betrayed us!”
“A sworn alliance of families spanning tens of thousands of years has been destroyed by the betrayal of two families. This grudge must be avenged!”
The curses continued unabated, and the cultivators from the five great families became increasingly fierce in their insults, their fighting spirit rising steadily.
The entire Twenty-Five Heavens are now witnessing the ultimate showdown, the final battle between the old and new orders.
