"Grand Tutor Wen, do you think our Lord has gone mad?"
"What do you mean?"
Grand Tutor Wen stopped and frowned.
"Our Lord has only this one Imperial Prince. If Imperial Prince Shangguan dies, who will inherit the throne in the future!" the Nine Heavens Five Ghosts stated directly, showing no hesitation.
"You must not speak such words!"
Grand Tutor Wen quickly said, "If our Lord hears this, your life may be in peril!"
"That is precisely why I am speaking to you about it!"
The Nine Heavens Five Ghosts stated directly, "In recent years, our Lord's temperament has changed drastically!"
"These are not matters we can discuss!"
Grand Tutor Wen said directly, "Upon returning to the military camp, you must keep your mouth shut, or you will face mortal danger!"
"Many thanks for the reminder, Grand Tutor Wen!"
The Nine Heavens Five Ghosts clasped their fists in haste. He was well aware that these were not matters he could casually discuss, lest he face utter destruction.
Not long after, Grand Tutor Wen arrived at the military camp. "My Lord, all arrangements are in place. As soon as our Lord gives the order, we can seize Immortal City!"
"With just you lot?"
Emperor Jiutian revealed a cold sneer. "If that were the case, the White Dragon Dynasty would have been resolved long ago. Why would I need to come in person!"
"It is my subordinates' incompetence!"
Grand Tutor Wen clasped his fists, daring not to argue. He knew very well that before his Lord, everything was dictated by the Lord.
"Tian Sha, come in!"
Emperor Jiutian's voice was icy, and a figure instantly entered the military camp.
Grand Tutor Wen was even more astonished to see this, never expecting Tian Sha to have arrived.
In the Jiutian Dynasty, Tian Sha's status was second only to Emperor Jiutian. The Tian Sha Guard under his command was invincible and the sharpest weapon of the Jiutian Dynasty.
The reason for this was that every member of the Tian Sha Guard possessed the strength of a Venerable. To this day, the entire Tian Sha Guard comprised over thirty-six members.
In other words, the Tian Sha Guard had thirty-six Venerables. Such a powerful force was simply beyond the White Dragon Dynasty's ability to resist.
"My Lord, if the Tian Sha Guard launches a night raid on Immortal City, we can severely cripple the White Dragon royalty. Then, with numerous experts making their move, the White Dragon Dynasty can be conquered!" Tian Sha stated directly.
"I have been waiting for you to say this!"
Emperor Jiutian nodded with satisfaction. "As long as we can conquer the White Dragon Dynasty, you will be credited with the greatest achievement, and you will undoubtedly be rewarded with glory and wealth!"
"Many thanks, my Lord!"
Tian Sha clasped his fists, full of confidence. He did not reject this decision at all.
"Tian Sha, do you know that within Immortal City, there are experts as numerous as the clouds?"
Grand Tutor Wen frowned. "If you go alone with the Tian Sha Guard, it will likely be extremely dangerous. It would be better to accompany the main army, so as to preserve our fighting strength!"
"Grand Tutor Wen, I think you have grown old!"
Tian Sha chuckled lightly. "To achieve great things, one must not be bound by trivialities. As long as we can throw the White Dragon Dynasty into chaos, the mission of the Tian Sha Guard will be considered complete!"
"But..."
Grand Tutor Wen still wanted to say something, but Emperor Jiutian spoke, "There are no 'buts.' Proceed with this plan. Immortal City must be taken tonight!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Grand Tutor Wen clasped his fists. He had wanted to voice his thoughts, but since Emperor Jiutian was insistent, he knew further words were useless.
Not long after, the million-strong army of the Jiutian Dynasty was dispatched and arrived outside Immortal City, but they dared not act rashly.
Now, they could only wait, awaiting news from the Tian Sha Guard. Once chaos erupted within Immortal City, they could launch an attack and even directly seize Immortal City.
Inside Immortal City, many soldiers were fast asleep, and there were also many experts standing guard on the city walls, extremely vigilant. Although they had the seven-day agreement, if the Jiutian Dynasty did not abide by it, war would be imminent.
Within a pavilion, the three Family Heads suddenly stood up and looked outwards, as if sensing something.
At this moment, Dragon Emperor and Steward Li also arrived outside and looked towards the area outside Immortal City.
"My Lord, why do I sense a crisis?"
Family Head Li spoke, "Could it be that the Jiutian Dynasty is not abiding by its promise and intends to attack us."
"If I'm not mistaken, it is likely true!"
Dragon Emperor nodded. "There must be experts who have infiltrated Immortal City. Everyone, please be careful and capture them all. Do not let them cause any trouble within Immortal City!"
"My Lord, rest assured, I will go and inspect immediately."
Steward Li spoke, his expression becoming more solemn. If foreign enemies had indeed invaded, it would not be a trivial matter. A single misstep could lead to great disaster.
After all, it was wartime, especially during the engagement of two armies. If someone were to stab them in the back, it could disrupt morale.
Boom...
Suddenly, a booming sound echoed, and the entire Immortal City began to tremble. Steward Li moved with incredible speed and instantly arrived at the west side of Immortal City. Indeed, he saw several Jiutian Dynasty experts intercepting several thousand soldiers. These soldiers were like ants before them.
"The Jiutian Dynasty is breaking its word and has rashly breached our defenses!"
Steward Li spoke coldly. "Today, you will not return!"
As soon as his words fell, a powerful spiritual energy surged from Steward Li's palm. Two members of the Tian Sha Guard looked flustered. Despite being Venerables, they were somewhat unable to cope with Steward Li.
Just as Steward Li was about to deal with these two, a dark figure appeared before him, interrupting his spiritual energy out of nowhere. This figure's strength was not inferior to his own.
"Steward Li, it has been a while!"
Tian Sha revealed a cold smile. Within Immortal City, fires raged, instantly plunging the entire Immortal City into chaos. All of this was the work of Tian Sha.
"It's you!"
Steward Li was startled. "Tian Sha, the leader of the Tian Sha Guard! The Jiutian Dynasty has revealed its trump card this time, likely intending a decisive battle!"
"Your words are mistaken. With the strength of the White Dragon Dynasty, it cannot compare to the Jiutian Dynasty."
Tian Sha spoke coldly. "Therefore, the White Dragon Dynasty is bound to lose this time, and you will have no chance of turning the tide."
"Aren't you afraid for the safety of Imperial Prince Shangguan?" Steward Li said coldly. "If you break your promise and attack rashly, the White Dragon Dynasty has the right to kill him."
"It doesn't matter. Even our Lord does not care, so why should I?"
Tian Sha smiled faintly, his words arrogant, treating Steward Li as if he were nothing.
Seeing this, Steward Li's expression turned grim. He had not expected Emperor Jiutian to be so pragmatic, not even caring about his own son's life.
"Steward Li, do not let them escape!"
The three Family Heads arrived, exuding a powerful aura. Tian Sha's disruption within Immortal City was an act that deserved death. If he were allowed to escape, it would be extremely detrimental to the White Dragon Dynasty.
Steward Li nodded slightly and then moved forcefully towards Tian Sha, unleashing all his skills. He knew very well that Tian Sha was no ordinary person.
