Zhong Yue looked at King Zi Guang and asked, “Senior Martial Brother, how many allies have you brought me this time? Are they trustworthy?”

King Zi Guang smiled, “I merely told them that if we continue to fight like that, the races in the Imperial Star would be weakened and the only one who will benefit from the fight is the Heaven Court itself. I then offered them another option, which is first, we remove Heaven Court from the game and we will decide who will be the Heavenly Monarch next. In other words, I brought you no allies, not even one.”

Hearing this, Zhong Yue replied with a smirk, “You expect me to attack the Heaven Court without any allies? Even if I manage to take them down, can you imagine the casualties?!”

King Zi Guang replied, “Then you will have to find them yourselves, how am I supposed to convince them with just empty words? No matter how strong a master strategist is, he wouldn’t be able to do anything without strong support. All I can do is tell them that King Yi will be leading an attack and fighting all the way into the Heaven Court. All they have to do is just help you when your army arrives at the Southern Heaven Gate! After that, it would be depending on King Yi yourself if you can get yourself some allies!”

Zhong Yue calmed down a little and said, “Okay, it won’t be much of a problem to reach the Southern Heaven Gate. In no time, my army will be knocking on its door.”

King Zi Guang blinked his eyes and said, “As for me, I will be staying around for some time, it has been a long time since I saw Yiqi.”

Zhong Yue stared into King Zi Guang’s eyes, “You think I will send Jiang Yiqi out so he will be killed?”

Purple Qi tumbled around in King Zi Guang’s eyes as he replied calmly, “I know what His Majesty wants and I very well know what you can do. King Yi, if you killed Yiqi, I will make you pay with your life.”

Zhong Yue smiled back, “It’s hard to go against His Majesty’s order, please don’t make it difficult for me. Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, someone as smart as you should know that His Majesty will not tolerate a mere human becoming a monarch. Yan Sovereign became an Imperial Emperor, which has never happened before. Anymore improvement and the human race will become a sovereign race. By then, not only will His Majesty no longer be able to tolerate it, the other ancient existences will not sit back anymore. Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, you are in charge of managing the back, you should return as soon as possible.”

His words ticked King Zi Guang off and he gave Zhong Yue an angry stare, except that Zhong Yue ignored his stare, “A kick is all you need to kill me back then and now, a kick is all I need to kill you. Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, it’s wiser for you to not do anything stupid.”

King Zi Guang let out a deep breath and after thinking for some time, he said, “King Yi, how about a trade? Leave Yiqi alone and I will leave you alone.”

Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, knowing deeply that King Zi Guang was testing him about his origin and he already obtained quite some vital information.

“Only by serving His Majesty loyally will I save myself. If it is His Majesty who wants Jiang Yiqi’s head, it would be useless even if you threaten me.”

Zhong Yue said, “You should go to His Majesty instead.”

King Zi Guang smiled, “But the Imperial Star’s races are all occupied with their own problems, leaving them no chance to attack we Xian Tian Palace so its fine for me to linger around.”

Zhong Yue added, “I thought Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang has no weakness, but it seems like your greatest weakness is perhaps, Yan Sovereign.”

King Zi Guang grudged. “Yiqi and I are best friends, he is a father and brother figure to me, as long as I live, no one will be able to harm him, not you and not His Majesty.”

Zhong Yue burst out laughing, “Heh, if it wasn’t because of Yan Sovereign, I wouldn’t have become who I am right now! Worry not, I will not harm him, not even in the slightest!”

The two exchanged a glance and King Zi Guang smiled, “Then, I will write a report to His Majesty and stay around, you don’t have to feel difficult, King Yi. Now, you should be preparing your men and all the best with arriving at the South Heaven Gate.”

Zhong Yue nodded, got up and started preparing his men.

After some days later, the many army divisions in the Heaven Breaching Fortress started marching, but instead of sailing down through the Heavenly River, they detoured around the river and charged right at the Diming Clan.

In the State of Heavenly River, Mo Yin, who had received the news from the scouts was shocked. He quickly summoned his commanders and said, “Bring me Consort Tian Si and Mister Wuji! This King Yi is not acting according to common sense!”

Without passing the Heavenly River, the time and effort spent by Mo Yin on managing the State of Heavenly River would be fruitless.

And if Zhong Yue plowed through the Diming Clan and wiped them out, it would be a heavy strike to both him and the Heaven Court!

The annihilation of the Diming Clan was also the erasing of Heavenly Monarch’s own clan, which could bring a drastic impact. If the Heavenly Monarch couldn’t even protect his own race, how was he supposed to protect the other races? By then, the many races serving under him would start to doubt his abilities; even betrayal wasn’t implausible!

But if Mo Yin moved his army from the State of Heavenly River and without this stronghold, the outcome would be unpredictable when he faced Zhong Yue’s army upfront.

“The best military strategies are the eliteness in the soldiers and the element of surprise, which King Yi occupies.”

Consort Tian Si who arrived said, “He is a master tactician, best in using his men strategically, as long as he gained a little advantage over his opponent, he will snowball it quickly, mowing down his enemies throughout the way. If its a warfare, I’m afraid I will be entirely useless. Mister Wuji is also a smart man, what do you think?”

Feng Wuji frowned slightly upon being asked, “I too, am not capable of warfare as well. I am here this time only to get ourselves as many allies as we can, but their behavior is a little too ambiguous, if I must say since Zi Guang must have told and promised them something. If this is the case, why don’t we have His Majesty’ words so that we could offer more to these races to make them our allies. With them being our friends, we might be able to muster more troops and eliminate King Yi’s army right in Imperial Star.”

Mo Yin shook his head and said, “Not the best idea, not at this time. The many races are at war with each other and they’ve lost their cool. I fear that His Majesty alone can’t even restore peace between them, besides, if His Majesty stood out, the many races would even mistake us in our weakest state. If this happens, they would ask for the impossible and wouldn’t even fight for our Heaven Court sincerely.”

Feng Wuji burst out laughing, “If so, muster every man we can and join the Diming Clan. Our manpower is on par with King Yi, it not even stronger. Along with the Nine-Five and the allies I acquired for us, King Yi is bound to be defeated! I can even talk a few more sovereign races into joining us to furthermore make sure King Yi is dead!”

Mo Yin frowned a little and said, “Still, we can’t guarantee that the outcome will be expected exactly. We shall request for reinforcements from Heaven Court, who will advance from the Southern Heaven Gate while we march from Heavenly River. Meanwhile, Mister Wuji will talk to a few sovereign races and with Diming Clan’s strength, we will surround King Yi from all sides and crush him!”

With the plan decided, they started acting at once. Mo Yin sent words to the Heaven Court, requesting for reinforcements as he and his army marched towards the Diming Clan and had Diming Clan prepare to strike at Zhong Yue’s men.

At the same time, Feng Wuji departed for Imperial Star, ready to talk the monarch races into attacking Zhong Yue at once.

With a few innate gods, he arrived first at Wuming Clan and thought, Wuming Clan and Diming Clan are on good terms because of the marriage between His Majesty and Her Highness. It would be easiest to persuade Wuming Clan.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, arrived at the Imperial Star, the warships laid shadow onto the ground as they covered the skies.

On the ancient ship, countless totem patterns circled around Zhong Yue, creating a massive karma net, the threads of karma tangled, appearing mysteriously and complicated.

On the ship, Tai Feng, Long Zhi, Mu Suge, Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, Fu Li, Yin Bokang and the many commanders and generals were present and they were all looking at the karma totem net created by Zhong Yue in awe.

Apart from them, there were also the leaders of the lesser and greater races, amounting to thousands; with Xian Tian Palace now conquering half of Zi Wei Galaxy, the many races in under its reign surrendered, becoming part of Zhong Yue’s army.

The karma net altered under Zhong Yue’s control, operated quickly and the tanglings turned into stars quickly, creating billions of stars around him.

The commanders and generals present remained silent, awaiting Zhong Yue’s calculations and his decisions.

“Mo Yin is ready to move, he will be appearing behind us. He also requested reinforcements from Heaven Court, who will flank us from the right side, Diming Clan will be coming from the front and Mister Wuji will be arriving with Wuming Clan and a few other monarch races, coming from the left.”

Zhong Yue opened his eyes gradually and said, “They will be coming from all directions, surrounding us and wiping us out.”

Everyone looked at each other with an empty mind, in the four approaching forces, Mo Yin’s was the strongest for apart from Heavenly River Navy Fleet, the four Heavenly Kings and four Heaven Gates, he also had Panhu Clan, Huangting Clan, Dating Clan, the San Li Gong Division, Tiang Gang Star Division, Di Sha Star Division, Tian Shu Division 1, and the Sign of Nine-Five. Among his army were also 95 innate gods, making him the strongest army under this heaven!

And the reinforcements he requested from Heaven Court, they may not be as strong as Mo Yin’s but they were not to be underestimated!

With the addition of Diming Clan and the army brought up by Feng Wuji, this battle would be a risky one!

“What should we do?” asked Tai Feng.

Zhong Yue smiled, “Mister Wuji is really my lucky star! We will start with him, ladies and gentlemen, let’s take a detour and take on the Wuming Clan, shall we?”

Everyone was shocked by this decision and Long Zhi frowned, “Aren’t we attacking Diming Clan? Wuming Clan is Queen Goddess’s clan, their strength is not as simple as what they show to the world. Besides, as a monarch herself, Queen Goddess is a tough nut to crack herself.”

King Zi Guang however, praised silently as he knew what Zhong Yue was after.

Zhong Yue then asked, “With our strength, how long will we take to bring Wuming Clan down?”

The commanders and generals had a discussion right away and replied, “If Queen Goddess herself stay out of this fight, we will wipe Wuming Clan out in only two days. But if she arrives….”

Zhong Yue gave no attention to this and continued, “If she even dares to return, we will remove her existence once and for all, along with her people! With our strength right now, killing her is not impossible. As long as Queen Goddess leaves Heaven Court, she will deliver a chance straight to His Majesty to invade Heaven Court and kill Heavenly Monarch Diming. And with their intelligence, I suppose Diming and Queen Goddess wouldn’t be so dumb to give an opening to both His Majesty and I. Ladies and gentlemen, in two days, we will be knocking on Wuming Clan’s door and unroot them entirely!”
