Looking at how Feng Taiji waved his sleeves and just left without saying goodbye, Hong Jiuchen’s eyes turned dark and sunken and killing intent flashing within. Only when he stepped out did he calm down.

If it was up to him, he really wanted to kill this person right here.

However, that was only if it was up to him, but it wasn’t.

After all, Feng Taiji wasn’t really Zong Shou’s subject and the entire Cloud World Sword Sect stood behind him!

Zong Shou had many restrictions when he did things every day, numerous problems to handle. They too were the same and they had to worry about many matters.

The Sword Sect might not be able to do anything to Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty but it was extremely easy for them to claim Hong Jiuchen’s life.

Moreover, if they wanted to drag the time they had to let this person leave.

When two countries fought, they didn’t kill the envoy. They would just allow this person to leave.

Even if they wanted to kill him, they had to find a reason so that the Sword Sect couldn’t take revenge.

He scoffed and shifted his sights forward once more.

“Elder Gu, according to you, what should we do? If Zong Shou just wanted my life, I would be willing to sacrifice it! But this kid is just too arrogant!”

“He is not only arrogant, he is basically insane!”

Mufang laughed coldly, “Who knows what gave Zong Shou such confidence? He thinks that with an End Realm Saint Venerable as a teacher, he can make us bow down to him. Although I haven’t reported back to the Celestial Dynasty, once the few Elders find out, they will definitely be furious!”

“This person does have some skill, so we can’t be careless. We can look back to what happened last time. Since he dares to provoke us, he has to have something up his sleeves…”

Tanjing squinted and analyzed, “We also have to be wary of the Shura Race! A few years ago, Zhuang Yu was just a small Country General and they were able to provide him 20,000 Xuandou Guards. Where did those funds come from? I have always found it suspicious! Chahou Hu’s plans are always unpredictable, who knows, he might already be on Zong Shou’s side? With them as a support, he might really have some confidence.”

“No matter how skilled he is and even if he is really well prepared, we still have to fight!”

Fuyue’s eyes flashed, filled with viciousness and hatred, “If we agree just like that, then what if next time he wants us to give up more land? Who knows if he is just faking it to make himself seem stronger!”

“That is true!” Mufang nodded her head, “Based on what I know, huge changes are about to occur in the Cloud World. The Sword Sect, Buddhist Faction and Common People’s Path are all wrapped up in the fight for the Book of the Universe. A few Saint Realm Cultivators are prepared to go through their tribulation. I also heard a senior from the guild say that Common People’s Path might be wiped out. At this moment, they should have no excess strength to help him!”

“Then, where did this person’s confidence come from?”

Tanjing still had many questions, “Judging from Feng Taiji’s words and actions, he isn’t faking it and he also seems confident.”

He was confident in himself and his plans but Tianfang Guild was just too small.

In terms of information, he had far less than the people seated here, which was why most of the time he was unable to correctly deduce the situation.

The hall became silent once more and everyone was in deep thought.

Hong Jiuchen hesitated slightly before he opened his mouth, “Talking about the Shura Race, I heard that half a year ago their slave merchants were buying Spirit Realms. However, till now they still haven’t sold any.”

Tanjing was shocked, he had heard of this before. The Shura Race had bought a bunch from Tianfang World.

All of them were human race cultivators…

Mufang continued, “Not only Spirit Realm Slaves, but there were also large amounts of weapons and armors. However, they didn’t have many war matters recently!”

“With their Extreme Light Invisibility Ships, it is just too easy to ship these things into Yuanlian!”

“I heard that each year they will sell at least 3 Taiyi God Lightning Ships but these 2 years they didn’t.”

The 4 people here all exchanged glances with one another. All the phenomenons might not be able to prove that the Shura Race was already standing on Zong Shou’s side, but they were enough to frighten everyone here.

“500 Spirit Realm Slaves, that is the trump card that allowed Zong Shou to be so arrogant?”

Fuyue’s face became dark and sunken, “It should be correct! However, apart from that, he should have something else. This kid’s appetite is too large and he might not get what he wished for! Does he think that this outer region is the Cloud World?”

Hong Jiuchen didn’t reply, looking toward Guyue instead.

This God Realm Cultivator couldn’t decide whether to fight or to have peace. However, what he said could influence the judgment of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, even deciding whether the other sides would interfere with this battle and if so how many people they would send in. His attitude toward the matter was actually really important and influential.

“That kid does have the moral high ground. Although we are trying to avoid it, we can’t hide the facts from others. In the end, we still have to compensate him to calm this matter down!”

The first few words caused the people here to be disappointed.

However, Guyue’s tone changed and it totally sunk down.

“However, if we take a step back, it doesn’t mean that he will get what he wishes for! After all, he is the disciple of an End Realm and before Dragon Shadow dies we can’t go too far. Let’s just give him one to two pieces to calm him down. However, before this, we need to make this arrogant kid yield! To let him know our skills! We need to cut his wings and smash his foundations so that he will be more well behaved in the future!”

Hong Jiuchen was instantly pumped up and a smile appeared on his face.

Guyue said impassively, “No matter what methods Zong Shou uses and how well prepared he is, we don’t have to worry about him! We just need to properly suppress him. He has risen up for just a few years and how can he compare to the thousands of years of accumulation of Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty? Looking at what this kid is planning, he thinks that the battle is still limited to Yuanlian World. What a joke! However, we can’t let him get what he wished for! I will persuade the Saint Emperor to send all the experts! Along with the 6 Saint Realm Venerables and dozens of God Realm Experts, I don’t believe that we can’t suppress a small Great Gan! We need to smash them to show the might of our Celestial Dynasty.”

The four people in the hall exchanged glances with one another. They could see the excitement in each other’s eyes.

Their blood was boiling and they unable to control themselves.

If it was really as Guyue said, if the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty would go all out, then they didn’t need to worry about much. No matter how much strength Zong Shou had in the dark and what he relied on, no matter what schemes he was planning, they would be able to smash him!

Then, Guyue stared right at them.

The few of them knew that Guyue was waiting for them to make a stand.

Tanjing didn’t hesitate and nodded his head, “Tianfang Guild is unable to stand aside and is willing to follow. No matter what, I will persuade the ancestor to help!”

Mufang also said emotionally, “If the few Elders of Xuanling Guild find out, they will definitely be willing to help!”

Fuyue hesitated a little and then nodded his head coldly, “I will try my best. I might not be able to invite Saint Realm Venerables but 4-5 God Realms are definitely possible!”

Guyue didn’t bother with what Fuyue said and just laughed.

“Since that is the case, then this matter is settled!”

His expression was really calm like he was describing something that wasn’t a big issue.

The corner of his lips curled up in a derisive smile.

Yuanlian World was in a great location and with it one could control many lands around. Based on what he knew, in hundreds of years, this world had a chance of becoming a large-sized world.

No matter what, Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty wasn’t going to give up on it easily.

If not, why would they help out Hong Jiuchen so many times? Not scrounging on monetary support…

This was why this battle was unavoidable! Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty would also go all out.

Zong Shou did have some skill since he was able to persuade the Shura Race to help him.

What a waste that his luck was too bad and he overestimated himself…

If he didn’t know how to retreat, he would not be able to keep himself alive!

　　※※※※

Feng Taiji walked out of the giant Cloudship and stepped into the void.

He couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

In the void, there was actually no sense of cold or hot. The ice and flames were just things made from cultivator spells.

Since Feng Taiji entered Celestial Realm, he was not afraid of the heat or the cold anymore.

This chill rose up from his heart.

Although he had full trust in Zong Shou, at this moment he still felt a little uneasy.

However, since he had already spoken, then he couldn’t take back his words, he couldn’t just turn around and lose face.

Even if he had regrets about it, he could only lower his head and walk this path to the end. Shaking his head, Feng Taiji walked toward the Juntian Celestial Palace.

Crossing through the void, he spent 6 hours traveling hundreds of miles.

At this place, he could see many cultivators who were training their swords and spells in the nearby Spiritual Land. A group of them were from the Sword Sect.

Looking at them, his brow rose up. He didn’t see much nervousness or unhappiness.

They were all masking their excitement and were a little anxious. They were fully focused on preparing for the upcoming war.

There was an even larger formation that spread and covered hundreds of miles of land.

Looking at the restrictions, it allowed one to enter but not to exit.

Feng Taiji had many doubts in his heart but suppressed them and didn’t ask.

When he arrived at the palace he noticed that the defenses here were really tight.

Below there were several strong killing intents rising into the air and charging up into the sky.

“Big Dipper Sword Soldiers!”

Feng Taiji’s pupils constricted.

Great Gan’s Army was mainly made up of the Great Qin Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and the Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers.

Of course, he had studied this before and felt that the tens of thousand large formation below the palace was several times stronger than before.

Who knows whether it was the complete version used during the Qin Dynasty?

There were also the 9,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry who also had many changes.

He was unable to observe carefully. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the few people waiting outside of the palace gates and he cast aside all his thoughts as he walked over.
