“You!”
“This old man is not convinced!”
In the void, an aged voice was filled with surprise and indignation. A divine radiance shot out, and the Great Elder’s body was directly blasted a thousand zhang away. As his physical body flew, it gradually disintegrated and dissipated.
Drops of divine blood dripped from the sky!
…
“Palace Master, if we just escape like this, will it be…”
Tai Xuan Palace, First Palace.
“What?”
“Do you want to stay?”
The First Palace Master examined a scroll.
“Hehe, you jest, Palace Master!”
“The Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master are no match. How can I, a mere Saint, achieve anything?”
A Saint lowered his head, continuously taking out scrolls from a spatial artifact.
“The Great Han Divine Dynasty’s million-strong army has appeared. Our Tai Xuan Palace is in a state of certain death. Staying here is just waiting to die.”
“The Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty and Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty have successively abandoned Wolong Abyss. Without the suppression of the three major hegemonic forces, the Great Han Divine Dynasty will not let go of these sixty-four Dao States in Wolong Abyss. These barren lands are useless to the three major hegemons, but for the Great Han Divine Dynasty, they are definitely a springboard. Once Wolong Abyss becomes Great Han territory, the Great Han’s dominion will be consolidated.”
“In the Western Frontier, it won’t be long before the Great Han Divine Dynasty becomes the fourth major hegemonic force!”
“You all hurry up and pack. According to the Hong family’s instructions, we are going to Nan Ze to seek refuge with the Black Water Immortal Dynasty.”
The First Palace Master looked at the scroll in his hand, his brow furrowed.
“Palace Master, since the Hong family is so powerful, why don’t we?”
The Saint looked up, a hint of expectation in his expression.
“Hmph!”
The First Palace Master glanced at him. “Do you think I don’t want to?”
“The Hong family has been in the Western Frontier, plotting and scheming for thirty million years since the War of the Gods until now. The Blood Sea Suspended Coffin was a step short and fell into someone’s hands. Lord Zhu’s heart was not successfully retrieved.”
“A single miscalculation delayed Lord Zhu’s recovery. Twenty years ago, in the battle of Beiyou Sea, the Jiang Zuo family, the Hong family, the Hun family, and the Chu family won a small victory, successfully rescuing Lord Zhu’s head from Beiyou Sea. However, they also faced the full counterattack led by the Wang family.”
“For the past twenty years, the Hong family has been operating behind the scenes, cooperating with the Jiang Zuo family, the Hun family, and the Chu family, wanting to rescue Lord Zhu’s primordial spirit in Undying City.”
“Undying City is about to open. At this juncture, do you think the Hong family will agree to my request to act?”
“The Great Han Divine Dynasty is like crushing an ant to the Hong family, but they cannot act. Undying City is about to open, and they do not want to be targeted by the Wang family. Besides, do I, your Palace Master, warrant the Hong family to risk acting?”
“It is better to honestly pack up and leave. Upon reaching the Black Water Immortal Dynasty, the Black Water Immortal Emperor has promised me the position of a Marquis!”
“Palace Master, didn’t you say that Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty is also…”
The Saint walked to the First Palace Master’s side and spoke softly, for fear of being overheard.
“What do you know!”
The First Palace Master chided. “The most important thing now is Undying City. Everything else is secondary.”
“Hurry up and go!”
“If you are slow, you will die here!”
…
“Divine Emperor, these are the imperial edicts from Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty and Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty!”
In Chang’an City, Great Han.
Li Si, holding two imperial edicts, handed them to Wei Zhongxian.
“Hmm!”
After a brief perusal, Yang Hao looked up. “What do you think?”
“Divine Emperor, the dragon race in Wolong Abyss has only about ten thousand beings, and their cultivation is low. Even without the matter of the Chi Dragon, the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty and Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty would have withdrawn from Wolong Abyss sooner or later,” Li Si said. “Since the three major hegemons have successively withdrawn from Wolong Abyss, we can send troops to occupy it!”
“The three major hegemons do not care for Wolong Abyss, but it is extremely important to our Great Han.”
“Divine Emperor, please look!”
Li Si walked to the map of the Western Frontier and pointed to it. “The current situation in the Western Frontier is still a tripartite standoff. The three major hegemons, led by the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty, Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty, and Zhu Lu Sacred Sect, are still unshakable forces in the Western Frontier.”
“Our Great Han has sent troops to conquer the Demon Sea Marsh, Thunder Cloud Palace, Tian Yuan Divine Dynasty, and Tai Xuan Palace. With the current offensive momentum of the various legions, these four forces will be completely swept away in less than half a month.”
“Divine Emperor, for our Great Han’s next step to contend with the three major hegemons, for the sake of Great Han, I suggest sending troops to Wolong Abyss!”
“If we can occupy Wolong Abyss, our Great Han homeland can be connected with the territories of Tian Yuan Divine Dynasty and Tai Xuan Palace.”
“At that time, Mi Cang Dao will directly cover these areas. For Ziyun Mountain and Jian Gong, we only need a suitable pretext to sweep them away!”
“Using Wolong Abyss, Demon Sea Marsh, Thunder Cloud Palace, Ziyun Mountain, Tian Yuan Divine Dynasty, Jian Gong, and Tai Xuan Palace as buffer zones, we can firmly protect our Great Han homeland in the rear. In this way, we can advance or retreat with equal ease!”
“Just wait for the world situation to change dramatically, and the Divine Emperor can dispatch a million troops to sweep across the entire Western Frontier!”
“I second that!”
Kuai Tong, standing beside them, said excitedly. Su Dan Novel Network
The Great Han Divine Dynasty would have to contend with the three major hegemons sooner or later. Turning the Demon Sea Marsh and Wolong Abyss into a buffer zone is definitely a superb strategy.
“Divine Emperor. A secret report from the Brocade Guards!”
At this moment, Mao Xiang, the commander of the Brocade Guards, hurried into the hall.
“Which region?”
Yang Hao did not turn around, still looking at the map drawn by Li Si.
“Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty!”
Mao Xiang was sweating profusely.
“Hmm?”
Yang Hao turned around, his expression grave. The current Brocade Guards had infiltrated the three major hegemonic forces.
To infiltrate the three major hegemonic forces, the Brocade Guards had spent a great deal of effort and lost many men.
“Read it!”
“On the night of the third day of the seventh month in the twenty-eighth year of Great Han.”
“Saint Emperor City rumbled with thunderous roars and lightning in the sky. In the early morning, the lightning receded, divine power erupted, and Saint Emperor City let out continuous roars!”
“At the hour of Chou, on the fourth day of the seventh month in the twenty-eighth year of Great Han, the divine power subsided. The imperial palace of Saint Emperor City collapsed with three thousand-zhang cracks, and the dragon脉 weakened!”
“At the hour of Yin, the various princes, civil and military officials of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty appeared in the void of Saint Emperor City, sealing off a thousand-mile area. The officials had somber expressions, and the dragon’s roar from the imperial palace was low and mournful!”
“At the hour of Mao, the Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor urgently convened a court session, announcing that the breakthrough to the Great Celestial Venerable realm had failed, his foundation was damaged, and his lifespan was exhausted. To preserve the foundation of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty, a new Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor would be chosen from among the three princes!”
Mao Xiang finished reading in one breath and then handed the memorial to Yang Hao.
“The Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor failed to break through the realm and has little lifespan left. Have the backgrounds of the five princes of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty been investigated?”
Yang Hao said in a deep voice. The Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor’s failed breakthrough was unexpected. His keen senses suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to interfere in the competition for the new Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor.
Although the current Great Han could not contend with the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty, it could use this opportunity to weaken it, and ideally, gain control of the new Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor.
