In the Alliance Headquarters meeting room, a bunch of elders were fully focused during their serious meeting.
One of them was extremely furious.
“Wu Zhige and Zhu Daoshen have to take full responsibility. They have pushed the Alliance into the abyss. Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island have started to question ask and doubt whether or not we did it on purpose.”
Everyone looked at each other and felt like his words were a little too much.
“What are you even saying? The Alliance had a total of 30 dead nine-star generals. Two of the strongest ones were killed.”
“That’s right. Do Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island even use their brains when they speak? Anyway, Wu Zhige and Zhu Daoshen are both to blame for this.”
The meeting room was in an uproar and everyone was in a heated discussion.
An old man with a white beard sitting near the center said, “Okay, let’s stop arguing. Although the losses are huge, it is worth it since we were able to break through You City. Wu Zhige and Zhu Daoshen fought for the Alliance and risked their lives. If you are blaming them now, then why didn’t you fight?”
The moment he said this, everyone present was speechless and felt slightly awkward.
Damn.
Shun Jingtian and Wang Yu were both killed which showed how intense the battle was. If they went, then they might have been killed. In battles between peak experts, numbers wasn’t the most important thing.
Even if they had many on their side, there was still a possibility that they would be killed.
So, everyone knew that if they went then there would be a chance that they would die. This was why they let those who were willing to go to fight.
The old man with the white beard continued, “This matter has already been decided, so there is no need to speak anymore. Based on intel, the seven defense cities are empty. It is time for the Alliance to attack. Send the order to gather the army, the nine-star generals will be the commanders to occupy the border cities.”
“We will support King Wutong and make him the Alliance puppet to stabilize the natives and those families. As for the top sects, there is no need to worry about them; just let them do what they want.”
Everyone listened to the white-bearded, old man’s arrangement and understood that this was the best solution. If they were too extreme the other party would fight back and rebound.
The members at the Alliance headquarters all felt that victory was close.
At the same time, regarding the battle, the Alliance headquarters hid much of the truth. They spread word of their victory, but kept silent about the death of their 30 nine-star generals.
Otherwise, that would have definitely caused an uproar.
But just as they spread the news about this, word got out on the forums.
30 nine-star generals and numerous Alliance members had been killed.
When such details appeared, everyone was shocked beyond belief. It was like they had seen a ghost and it had a huge impact within the Alliance.
The Alliance Headquarters immediately tried to hide all this.
“Those despicable peace lovers.”
The first thought of those asking for war was that the peace faction had done it.
Apart from them, who else could it be?
The peace faction appearing in the Alliance was a dangerous signal to many people.
….
Zhu Shen looked at Young Master Lin, who was cultivating, and he was just thinking about how amazing he was. How was he able to cultivate to such a realm in such a short time? Lin Fan was just terrifying.
He didn’t disturb him and looked at Zhang Tianshan instead. He realized that he was still a little dejected.
“Zhang Tianshan, why are you so sad? It’s inevitable that people die during war, so get over it.” Zhu Shen treated Zhang Tianshan much better now. In the past, he called him a coward, but now his impression of him changed.
Zhang Tianshan shook his head, “I understand that but I just find it hard to accept. Can your body change back?”
“No.” Zhu Shen didn’t react. As for whether or not he could change back to human form, he didn’t worry much about it. He laid on the ground. His eyes gave off a human-like glow as he thought about the problems he would face from now onwards.
The world was about to descend into chaos.
No one would be able to prevent that.
Lin Fan was studying how to merge stuff. What he first looked at was the cultivation technique column which was all shiny and that meant that they could be merged.
Dragon Elephant Sword Technique and Heaven Shocking Sword Technique merge!
He didn’t need to consume rage points and the two sword techniques were able to merge together to form a new cultivation technique.
“Merging into God Shocking, two Dao patterns.”
Lin Fan was surprised. He didn’t expect that such a shocking change would occur. The merger gave rise to a new cultivation technique that had two Dao patterns at the same time and it was much stronger.
“Not bad.”
Only someone who had reached the Dao Realm would be able to sense the mystery of this realm. He was now the gatekeeper of the Dao Realm.
He just entered the realm, and no matter what, he was going to continue on this path.
Out of the 63 techniques, apart from the bug controlling technique, the others could all be merged.
The 31 merged techniques all had two Dao patterns.
“I have many choices for becoming stronger now.”
That was indeed the case.
He had improved greatly.
He was thinking about whether or not to continue but he realized that the 31 techniques, apart from the Bug Controlling Technique, were grey and couldn’t be merged.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, Lin Fan took a look at his own body and realized that the Darkness God Domain had changed. In the wide Domain, there was actually a slightly blurry and incomplete statue that had appeared.
It was only half a body and the part from the chest upwards was blurry.
“As expected, it has started to change. What will it look like in the end?”
A few days later.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Alliance has broken through the border and our chance has arrived.” When Liu Xuan received the news, he was so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep. He was really pumped up.
King Wutong’s fingers shook slightly and he was really anxious deep down.
Oh my god.
How did this happen?
He didn’t dare to believe that this was true.
Since the border had been broken through, then what he was worried about was finally about to happen.
He couldn’t turn back on this path of rebellion.
He finally understood what his brother meant for him to make all the decisions on his own.
Did his brother know the result and was that why he told him that?
“Your Majesty, what happened to you?” Liu Xuan saw that King Wutong was in a daze and thought that it was because the news was too explosive and that he was unable to react to it.
King Wutong was in trouble but he couldn’t show it. He said calmly, “Nothing, I am just too happy and didn’t expect the chance to come just like that.”
Damn.
Oh my god. If he knew that this would happen, even if he was killed, he wouldn’t have colluded with his brother to put up this show.
Now, he was being carried and placed on the barbecue with no way back. He didn’t even know what to do and he could only lower his head and continue on the path.
Liu Xuan smiled. “Your Majesty, I can understand your joy. The border has been destroyed and the Alliance has entered. Although we have allowed a wolf in, as long as we think of a good strategy, Your Majesty can become the hunter.”
He was bragging a bit too much.
He really didn’t know how he could turn into the hunter.
The fact that the Alliance was willing to work with King Wutong was enough to show that they had no choice but to push him up to the position of Emperor.
This was why as long as King Wutong became the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty, then Liu Xuan would still become famous and absorb huge power.
King Wutong looked at Liu Xuan and he really wanted to cut him into a million pieces. Now wasn’t the time and the Alliance envoy would definitely return soon.
Everyone present wanted to rebel. If they knew that King Wutong’s rebellion was actually just for them all to die, then everyone present might just have murdered him.
“Brother, save me. I just want to have a leisurely life.”
Slowly, King Wutong became filled with despair and he knew that he was unable to turn back.
Things had already happened and even if he didn’t want to rebel, everyone around him was pushing him towards it.
During this period of time, the top sects found out about the defense cities falling. They knew that their chance had come and naturally wouldn’t fear the Imperial Dynasty. The Imperial Dynasty didn’t have the time or effort to worry about all this.
The Alliance Headquarters was enough of a headache.
Martial Path Mountain.
“Why do we have to leave?” Yuan Tianchu looked at Lin Fan and felt like things were a little complicated.
Lin Fan’s acting was really good and was he trying to chase them away?
He felt like it was possible.
“The Alliance has broken through the border and it is too dangerous here, so we have to leave.” Lin Fan said.
Yuan Tianchu looked at Lin Fan and still didn’t believe what he had said. He had never heard of the Alliance and felt like he was just lying.
“Okay, then I will go back to You City. Anyway, staying here is just a waste of time.” After Yuan Tianchu said this, he looked at Liang Yongqi, “Are you going back?”
Liang Yongqi thought about it. “I won’t be going. My family doesn’t even care about me.”
“You City is gone, so there is no need to go back.” Lin Fan said.
At that moment, Liang Yongqi and Yuan Tianchu were both stunned.
Liang Yongqi looked at Zhang Tianshan and when he saw him nod, Liang Yongqi’s body shook.
Lin Fan said, “In the past, I thought your fathers were annoyed by you all and chased you out. Now, I know that he did so because he loves you.”
Liang Yongqi’s body shook and he retreated. His tone trembled a little. “That’s impossible, how can my father love me the most. He loves my big brother.”
As he said this, he looked at Lin Fan and his head trembled slightly.
Yuan Tianchu also didn’t believe it. Did he bring that up to chase them away?
He knew what kind of person his father was and he couldn’t be so foolish and so unselfish to fight against the so-called Alliance.
Zhang Tianshan said, “Yongqi, what he is saying is true. Apart from the few of us and some other people, the rest are dead.”
Liang Yongqi respected Zhang Tianshan but he still shouted at him.
“Impossible, I don’t believe it. That fellow chased us out because he didn’t want to see me. Don’t lie to me. How can I not know what my father is like; he isn’t so foolish.”
“My big brother wants to become the family head and my sister is annoyed with me. Now, you are telling me that they chased me out so that I could live. I don’t believe that reason.”
The moment he said this, Liang Yongqi ran down the mountain.
Zhang Tianshan shouted, “Where are you going?”
“Back to You City.” Liang Yongqi replied.
Zhang Tianshan walked up and grabbed his collar, “Are you stupid? You City is gone. If you go back, you are just going to die.”
Liang Yongqi grabbed Zhang Tianshan’s hand, “If that is true, then I will help bury my father, brother, and sister. If it is not true, then I will stay there to compete with my elder brother. I have already decided and I will take responsibility for it. I don’t believe that my father wants me to live.”
Yuan Tianchu looked at everything and slowly believed what Lin Fan said.
“Did my father say anything?” Yuan Tianchu was the second in the family. His brother came back from the sect and it made him feel that his father had given up on him. But now, he chose to believe Lin Fan.
“I don’t know but he probably hopes that you can live.” Lin Fan said.
Yuan Tianchu was silent.
Zhang Tianshan said, “Are we letting that kid leave?”
Liang Yongqi watched as Liang Yongqi left. “Each person can make their own choices. He has made his decision, so we can’t control him. Just let him leave.”
