Chapter 567: Chapter 364: Charging Straight at Huanglong_2

    “Therefore, our chances of winning this battle are not low!”

    “Today, I’ve invited all of you here with the hope that the numerous forces among us can join hands, so we aren’t defeated one by one by the Evil Spirit’s side!”

    “After all, only by working together can we unleash our full potential!”

    Nangong Chuan continued speaking.

    His words.

    made others nod slightly.

    Everyone harbors their own selfish thoughts. If we cannot come together, fighting separately benefits no one.

    “King Chuan’s suggestion has no opposition from me. The Taixuan Dynasty is an Ancient Dynasty, and King Chuan is the initiator of this endeavor. How about letting the Taixuan Dynasty take charge and lead? All our forces will follow orders!”

    At this moment, Gu Xiu spoke up, clearly indicating the position of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

    Gu Xiu had no interest in the position of commander.

    In his view.

    The position appears important, but it’s essentially not. Commanding all heroes from this position is impossible.

    At most, sitting in this position makes issuing commands more convenient.

    Rather than waste time fighting for the position, why not do a favor that comes naturally?

    Just as expected.

    Upon hearing Gu Xiu’s words, Nangong Chuan smiled slightly, then modestly declined.

    “Although the Taixuan Dynasty is the initiator, the forces behind each friend present here are formidable. It doesn’t fall upon the Taixuan Dynasty to take charge!”

    “King Chuan is modest. Prince Yun’s proposal is supported by the Taixu Sacred Land!”

    The Taoist Monarch Taixuan spoke, showing Taixu Sacred Land’s stance.

    With the Divine Martial Dynasty and Taixu Sacred Land speaking, other forces didn’t say much, simply agreeing.

    To them, the commander position is unimportant, and since some forces have already spoken, offering a differing opinion now might upset the Taixuan Dynasty.

    It’s unnecessary to offend a Dynasty over a trivial title.

    Seeing this.

    Nangong Chuan, half-heartedly, let the Taixuan Dynasty take the position.

    Then.

    Nangong Chuan took a formal tone: “Since everyone says this, I won’t decline further. Now that the matter is settled, we should focus on dealing with the Evil Spirit!”

    His words concluded.

    Nangong Chuan waved his sleeve, and the Great Tao’s divine essence swirled, transforming swiftly into an illusory interface sand table before them.

    The images within the sand table showed the scenes of the Tianshu Prefecture.

    “Currently, within a thousand miles around the Imperial City of the Star Dynasty, numerous Evil Spirits have gathered. To prevent them from fleeing in defeat, I propose a heavy military guard led by Heavenly Star City, with fortifications along the way to intercept fleeing Evil Spirit forces.

    Twenty-three Saints, six should stay to maintain order and prevent desperate actions by the Evil Spirit.

    The remaining seventeen Saints and nine Great Saints should directly target key enemies, focusing on eliminating Lu Zhen and the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor!”

    “The rest of the army should restrain other Evil Spirit forces, providing cover for us!”

    Nangong Chuan had already thought through his plan, and once the topic shifted, he revealed his thoughts without reservation.

    Once his speech ended.

    Everyone exchanged looks, then nodded in agreement.

    “Let’s proceed according to King Chuan’s plan!”

    ——

    After leaving Heavenly Star City, many strong figures returned to their respective forces and made the necessary arrangements.

    Returning to the Divine Martial Dynasty, Gu Xiu summoned Yan Yun and others, commanding them to hold the rear and gather forces to counter the Evil Spirit army for time, as originally agreed.

    Meanwhile.

    Gu Xiu also stayed to guard their position.

    After all, the Divine Martial Dynasty lacked top-tier power.

    As one of the nine Great Saints, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint couldn’t remain to hold the position.

    Thus.

    Gu Xiu had to stay.

    The Emperor Extreme Great Saint was well aware of his disciple’s strength.

    Although at the Peak of Ninth Layer in the Taoist Palace Realm, possessing the Undying Divine Body, he could hold his own even against a Saint.

    If all cards were played, killing a Saint wouldn’t pose a problem.

    Yet for caution.

    The Emperor Extreme Great Saint left the Dharma Decree initially intended for Yan Yun with Gu Xiu, providing a life-saving asset.

    With a decree akin to a Quasi Emperor’s strike, along with Gu Xiu’s strength, guarding the rear posed no major issues.

    Three days later.

    Led by the Taixuan Dynasty, all forces advanced toward the Imperial City of the Star Dynasty.

    As anticipated, the defeated Evil Spirit side resisted fiercely, seemingly sensing their impending doom, fighting desperately.

    “Humph, these Evil Spirits are merely making futile resistance!”

    Yang Yingtian’s face showed disdain as he spoke, waving a hand to slay numerous Evil Spirits, clearing the area within a thousand feet.

    Such is the power of the Saint Realm.

    Yang Yingtian wasn’t an ordinary Saint, standing at the Seventh Layer Heaven among Saints, easily handling ordinary Evil Spirits.

    Other Saints now also took action, slaying all obstructing Evil Spirits.

    The reason for this was to preserve the peak strength of other Great Saint Realm experts for combating Lu Zhen and the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor.

    Strictly speaking.

    They primarily aimed to confront the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor.

    As for Lu Zhen, truthfully, the various Saints and Great Saints didn’t regard him highly.

    Regardless of Lu Zhen being the leader of a Dynasty, he couldn’t escape the fact he was only a Semi-Saint.

    A Semi-Saint, no matter how strong, is still just a Semi-Saint, akin to an ant before Saints.

    Soon.

    The Imperial City was in sight.

    A powerful Evil Spirit aura covered the sky, making everyone’s expression grow serious.

    At that moment.

    Space trembled.

    A majestic figure clad in imperial attire slowly appeared from space, with a throne made of bones behind him and numerous Evil Spirits exuding intense energy below.

    Among them.

    Lu Zhen stood prominently.

    “You’ve finally arrived, I’ve waited long for this!”

    The Deceitful Heavenly Emperor’s lips curled into an eerie smile, his crimson gaze sweeping over the crowd, his mighty aura causing many to frown.

    “Deceitful Heavenly Emperor!”

    Nangong Chuan spoke solemnly.

    Then.

    He looked toward the other Evil Spirits, growing more apprehensive internally.

    Thirteen Evil Spirits.

    The weakest had Middle natural disaster strength, with three reaching Upper natural disaster level, alongside an unfathomable Deceitful Heavenly Emperor.

    This scene.

    Was troubling for Nangong Chuan.

    “You Evil Spirits harm the Human Clan and slaughter life in a prefecture, inciting heaven’s wrath. Today, we have come to eradicate you!”

    Yang Yingtian’s expression remained cold as he turned to Lu Zhen.

    “Lu Zhen, you’re unworthy as an Emperor of a Dynasty, now willingly falling to the Evil Spirit side. How will you face the ancestors of the Lu Family someday in death!?”

    “In victory or defeat, what need is there for words!”

    Lu Zhen’s face showed indifference, unaffected by Yang Yingtian’s words.

    Having chosen this path, Lu Zhen wouldn’t regret it.

    “No need for more words, just kill them!”

    Finally, an impatient strong figure struck, launching an attack at Lu Zhen, a full-force strike from a Great Saint Realm that collapsed space within a hundred miles, a threat of destruction with overwhelming momentum.

    However.

    At that very moment.

    The figure seated on the bone throne suddenly moved, gently tapping the void with his right hand’s fingers, causing space to ripple with mystical waves, immediately sweeping all directions.

    The terrifying power from the prior Great Saint’s strike vanished upon contact with the waves.

    Simultaneously.

    A terrible pressure enveloped the space.

    Including the Emperor Extreme Great Saint, everyone felt this pressure, their expressions dramatically changing.
