The attack on the Divine City relied on Jiang Yuyun, and now Great Jin wants to invade again, which means dealing with Jiang Yuyun all over again. Eight years ago, Great Jin deployed six Saints to breach the city gates of the Divine City. Can Great Jin muster that kind of strength again now that they are fighting on three fronts?

Even granting a worst-case scenario, they may have the confidence.

But does Great Jin dare?

Amidst various reasons, Hou Yuxiao is certain that Wanyan Cheng cannot kill him.

Even if he truly wants to kill, the Allies won't allow it!

......

Hou Yuxiao noticed that Wanyan Cheng's overwhelming Demonic Qi has already engulfed him. His breathing started becoming difficult. The virtual shadow of the Demon Ape Martial Spirit, when released, was nowhere near its usual towering and peak state, instead, it shrank to less than ten feet, continually suppressed by the Demonic Qi, growing smaller.

Wanyan Cheng's methods had completely exceeded his imagination.

The Demonic Qi carried an extreme destructive force. At the moment Hou Yuxiao felt his Star Sea's Holy Core being eroded and tormented, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Wanyan Cheng intends to kill...

Yet, the Allies still haven't stepped in to rescue!

Cold sweat immediately appeared at his brow.

He didn't doubt his analysis. Such a significant matter as attacking the Divine City, he would not act rashly without thorough consideration. He's merely contemplating why the Allies have not intervened.

With a brief thought, he found his answer.

Recalling Zhao Yulong, Wei Xuheng, Jing Yuanxiu, Meng Qu, Xun Mu, and even the Wuwei King, six Saints from the Allies passed through his mind in succession, making Hou Yuxiao's pupils turn colder.

......

"He hasn't even called for help."

"Heh, assuming we will save him, he acts so brazenly."

"Though his strike on the Divine City is impressive, the damage to Great Jin is significant, not even this Saint anticipated it. Yet this kid didn't inform us beforehand, which confirms Wanyan Cheng was right—he lacks courtesy despite quick wit."

"This kid needs some toughening!"

"I want to see how long he can endure."

In the void, six faint figures stood quietly, facing Shenzhou's Divine City. It was clear that their conversation was about Hou Yuxiao, who was amidst the dark cloud above the Divine City.

Among the six, only the last dark figure remained silent.

......

"Emperor Yuliang, you cannot kill me!"

Emperor Yuliang stood before Hou Yuxiao. Upon hearing those words, a faint color flashed across his brows. Glancing upwards towards his flanks, he then revealed a cold smile, "Seems those people don't plan to save you..."

He paused momentarily, his pupils flashing with a dark color, and continued:

"At such a close distance, even if I decide to kill you, can they actually save you...it's uncertain."

"I don't need them to save me; even if they don't come, you still can't kill me!"

......

Wanyan Cheng's expression froze. Watching Hou Yuxiao's confident demeanor, he was truly puzzled, but his confusion vanished instantly when Hou Yuxiao retrieved a Small Square Seal from his clothes.

It was a palm-sized golden Small Square Seal.

Below the Seal, the words "Treasury of the Divine Sect" were crystal clear.

A look of astonishment crossed Wanyan Cheng's eyes. The hand that almost touched Hou Yuxiao's forehead suddenly halted mid-air, retreating swiftly without hesitation.

Watching Hou Yuxiao, his expression suddenly became indecisive.

"Emperor Yuliang, in the battlefield, victory and defeat are common affairs among warriors; no need to be angry."

"As a dignified Saint, dealing with a younger generation feels a bit like bullying."

"Spare where you can; let go."

"Hou Yuxiao breached the Divine City without summoning any of us. Please collect your fiery intent, Emperor Yuliang. Since Great Yu has restored its reign, we, as ministers of the Divine Dynasty, cannot indulge in your arrogance here. Withdraw, now!"

......

So, they have finally emerged, haha.

Watching the six supreme leaders of the Holy Lands reveal themselves in midair, Hou Yuxiao's heart was filled with cold laughter. Upon realizing that he had taken out the Divine Sect Seal, knowing Emperor Yuliang dared not act against him, they swiftly surfaced.

These Saints, truly unwilling to act without perfect assurance!

Why does Emperor Yuliang fear killing him when presenting the Divine Sect Seal?

It's quite simple—three frontlines have pushed Great Jin to its limits!

What is the purpose of the Divine Sect Seal?

To unlock the Treasury of the Divine Sect. Once the Treasury is opened, it means that the New Moon Cult will enter the battlefield.

At this moment, Hou Yuxiao felt unabashed smugness. He could imagine Sikong Yue's face now, surely very unsightly!

At the New Moon Festival's end last year, Sikong Yue deliberately handed the Divine Sect Seal to him, intending to use the Jiang Yuyun on his hands to unlock the Treasury for her benefit. She must have made a deal with Great Jin, not participating in the battle until the Treasury is opened.

Though the reason remains unknown, it's certain Sikong Yue is willing to take part.

With Great Jin and the Allies engaging intensely and victory undecided, not entering the battle means Sikong Yue would lose her advantage when either side wins. At that point, relying solely on the New Moon Cult, what could she accomplish?

Moreover, considering the current situation, Great Jin's chance of winning appears greater!

Sikong Yue was banking on him, believing that under the dual pressure from the Allies and Great Jin, he would immediately open the Treasury, but he deliberately refused to do so.

Instead of unlocking the Treasury, the Seal now became his leverage against Great Jin.
