Chapter 49: Hahaha, I Come to Ambush! Sword Points at the Empress!
In the Central State, Eastern Profound Region.
At the border between the Liyue Celestial Dynasty and the Nine Absolutes Sect, within the Sky-Cutting Mountain Range.
In the Nine Absolutes Sect’s camp.
An old man in a gray robe, with a withered face, erupted with a powerful aura around him, and said in a deep voice:
“The Liyue Celestial Dynasty, under the rule of Ye Qingge…”
“Has always been arrogant and domineering, looking down on others, and especially bullying our Nine Absolutes Sect, robbing us of our spiritual veins and mines!”
The old man was named Du Jiuyou, an elder of the Nine Absolutes Sect.
His cultivation level had already reached the middle stage of the United Body Realm, and he was also skilled in using poisons, making his combat power extremely fierce.
This time, Lei Jue personally sent him.
To ensure a major victory from the start.
Although both sides had deployed large numbers of elite forces in the Sky-Cutting Mountain Range, usually, the highest cultivation level among the stationed cultivators was the Refining Void Realm.
Lei Jue believed that with their sudden attack and thorough preparations, they would definitely make the Liyue Celestial Dynasty suffer this time!
Ideally, they could plunder or destroy all of the opponent’s spiritual veins and mines.
Next, both sides engaged in intense fighting.
Then, the Jiang Family and Zuo Family allies could join in smoothly.
Since everyone was about to completely break ties, there was no need to hold back anymore.
Inside the camp!
A group of members of the Nine Absolutes Sect who were stationed here were initially surprised; why would their sect suddenly attack the Liyue Celestial Dynasty?
This was not a small matter.
The overall strength of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Nine Absolutes Sect, and in past conflicts, they often suffered losses!
Why would they suddenly prepare for a full-scale war?
Many people were still confused, but seeing that the Eighth Elder, Du Jiuyou, had come himself, they all believed that this time, they would surely have a big fight.
Du Jiuyou paused for a moment and said solemnly, “Rest assured, I am only here to deploy in advance. Soon, a large number of the sect’s elites will arrive!”
“This time, we must drive the Liyue Celestial Dynasty out of here and seize their spiritual veins!”
He knew some inside information; he knew that the ancient clans like the Jiang Family would join in, giving him confidence.
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.
They all expressed their support, since more elites from the sect had arrived, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
“Good! We will follow Elder Du’s instructions!”
“Drive the Liyue Celestial Dynasty out of here, and we will monopolize these spiritual veins and mines!”
“It’s time for revenge!”
“In the past few hundred years, how many of our fellow disciples have died at the hands of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty?”
“This time, let’s wash away our shame!”
The four main hall masters of the Nine Absolutes Sect, who were stationed here, spoke indignantly, but their eyes gleamed greedily.
How many resources did the Liyue Celestial Dynasty control in the Sky-Cutting Mountain Range? If they could truly drive them away, everything would be theirs!
Even if most of it had to be handed over to the sect, the little bit left over would be enough for them.
In the world of cultivation, fighting and competing for resources is all about resources.
Du Jiuyou saw their expressions and nodded in satisfaction, saying sinisterly:
“Very good!”
“Tomorrow, you four main hall masters will lead the charge, first eliminating their defensive outposts.”
He paused and continued, “At that time, I will personally lead the elite forces to strike. Without warning, we will surely wipe them out completely, causing them to cry out in despair!”
The four main hall masters of the Nine Absolutes Sect exchanged glances and nodded vigorously.
They had been guarding this area for a long time.
They were very familiar with the Liyue Celestial Dynasty’s defensive points. Now that the battle was about to begin, having them as the vanguard was indeed a good choice.
Moreover, this was a great opportunity to achieve merit!
The four main hall masters all said in unison, “We will follow Elder Du’s instructions!”
—
At the same time, on the other side of the Nine Absolutes Mountain Range, within the territory controlled by the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
At this moment.
In a palace carved out of a mountain, the eight generals of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty gathered together.
Seated at the head was a woman in a palace dress.
The eight generals all had cultivation levels at the initial stage of the Refining Void Realm, and due to their frequent defense of the Sky-Cutting Mountain Range and battles against monsters, each one was a formidable figure.
But at this moment, facing the palace-dressed woman, they all seemed like mice before a cat, too frightened to even breathe.
Brief reminder: If you can’t find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author’s name. Maybe they just changed the name!

Meanwhile, in another part of the Nine Absolutes Mountain Range, within the territory controlled by the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
At this moment.
In a palace carved out of a mountain, the eight generals of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty gathered together.

At this moment, the palace-dressed woman suddenly raised her eyes and asked in a charming voice, “How is the preparation going?”
Immediately, a general respectfully replied:
“I report to the leader, everything is ready.”
“As per your orders, arrays have been set up at various outposts, and ample spiritual stones and talismans have been prepared.”
The Xuan Ying Guard leader nodded slightly and smiled, “Good! Then go about your duties now. We just need to wait for them to take the bait…”
After the words fell, the eight generals were silent for a moment.
Then, one of the generals couldn’t help asking, “Leader, are you sure the Nine Absolutes Sect will attack us?”
Although there were often frictions between the two sides, there hadn’t been any large-scale battles in the past dozen years.
A few days ago, after Ye Qingge came back from Cangwu Mountain, she first issued an order to mobilize a large number of elite guards, instantly increasing the defensive forces in the Nine Absolutes Mountain Range by an exaggerated tenfold!
Now, even the Xuan Ying Guard leader has come in person. This seemed overly dramatic to these generals.
Wei Lan was a cultivator at the late stage of the United Body Realm, not far from breaking through to the Great Ascension Period.
Using such a high-level cultivator in this small Sky-Cutting Mountain Range was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
These actions initially made the eight generals feel uneasy, thinking the Empress might be dissatisfied with them.
Only now did they realize that the plan was to attack the Nine Absolutes Sect.
Wei Lan lifted her eyes and glanced at them, saying lightly:
“If the Empress has ordered it, there must be her reasons. We just need to execute it flawlessly.”
“Do you understand?”
The eight generals’ faces turned serious, and they quickly said, “Understood. We will personally go to defend the outposts!”
“Deploy all the elites, waiting in ambush!”
Wei Lan waved her hand and said, “Go!”
As the sun rose and set, in the tense preparations of both sides, a day quietly passed.
In the morning.
In the forest, thick fog had yet to dissipate.
However, in the Nine Absolutes Sect’s camp, a murderous atmosphere permeated, with everyone fully armed and ready.
The four main halls gathered their elite troops.
Everyone stood in a valley, filled with fighting spirit.
“After fighting with the Liyue Celestial Dynasty for so long, today we can finally settle the score!”
Many members of the Nine Absolutes Sect harbored hatred towards the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
After all, they frequently clashed, and enmity had accumulated over time.
Both sides inevitably had friends and family killed by the other side. Now, they could finally vent their anger.
Du Jiuyou scanned the crowd with a sinister gaze and said in a deep voice, “Remember, swift and decisive action. Eliminate them as quickly as possible!”
“We are ambushing them!”
“We must end the battle before they react. Give me no mercy! Don’t consider the consequences!”
Du Jiuyou’s face twisted into a bloodthirsty sneer: “The sect has said, the Sky-Cutting Mountain Range is just the beginning. This time, we will thoroughly destroy the Liyue Celestial Dynasty!”
“Even Empress Ye Qingge will become our plaything!”
“Hahaha…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts surged, and their bl**d boiled.
Ye Qingge was undoubtedly a top existence in the cultivation world in terms of talent, status, and appearance.
If they could capture her and make her their own plaything, the thought alone made their bl**d boil uncontrollably, making it almost too perfect.
Du Jiuyou took a deep breath and issued his final command, shouting, “Go, carve out a path of bl**d!”
“Yes, sir!”
A thunderous roar echoed across the mountains.
In the next moment, a burst of auras erupted, and astonishing magical power fluctuations spread.
The four main halls of the Nine Absolutes Sect soared into the sky, transforming into a rainbow, rushing toward the distance.
Their cultivation level was at the Refining Void Realm.
Others quickly followed, their momentum overwhelming, like swarms of locusts, rushing towards the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
Their goal was clear:
k*ll everyone, seize all resources, regardless of the consequences!
