Chapter 50: Do Not Panic, Let’s Read the Diary First!
“Charge in directly and start the killing!”
“Do you understand?!”
Just before reaching the territory controlled by the Liyue Celestial Dynasty, one of the four hall masters, Chen Haitao, coldly instructed:
“Ambush! We must catch them off guard. Many cultivators have died due to being too talkative…”
Before he even finished speaking!
A sharp sound pierced through the air from afar, and the sky suddenly brightened.
“Swoosh—”
Chen Haitao’s face changed dramatically as he looked up, seeing a streak of light flash towards him like lightning!
It was a swift arrow refined into a magical treasure, incredibly powerful!
Wherever it passed, it seemed to pierce through space itself!
The swift arrow burst forth with dazzling light, but the power it emitted made people tremble with fear!
Chen Haitao was firmly locked onto!
He instinctively wanted to shout, but his pupils dilated continuously as he witnessed an incredibly shocking scene!
A chill ran down his spine, causing him to sweat profusely.
He heard the sound of breaking air coming from all directions!
Various dazzling lights illuminated this world, making everything blindingly bright.
Amidst the light, countless swift arrows poured down like rain!
“We’ve been ambushed…”
Chen Haitao screamed in horror, but a swift arrow was already heading straight for his forehead!
He hurriedly activated his magic techniques and magical treasures to defend himself!
Boom!
Peng peng peng!
The swift arrow penetrated several layers of defense and finally struck a pearl in front of Chen Haitao, losing its power.
But at that moment, a hellish scream echoed in his ears.
Swift arrows shot out one after another.
They had come to lead the charge in the ambush, but they never expected to be ambushed even before they began.
At this moment, apart from the four hall masters who had reached the Void Refinement Realm,
the rest of the people from the Nine Absolutes Sect were massacred one after another by the swift arrows.
Some managed to escape with their lives,
but most were completely destroyed, turning into a mist of bl**d.
Chen Haitao shouted, “Quickly, set up the formation for defense!”
In the chaos, he roared, activating a powerful technique to create a vacuum zone amidst the rain of arrows.
In desperate straits, the remaining members of the Nine Absolutes Sect quickly formed an array.
Just then, the swift arrows stopped.
Instead, talismans floated down from the sky.
“Thunder Burst Talismans and Purple Flame Talismans!”
Chen Haitao exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide open as he felt utter despair.
These talismans filled him with a strong sense of danger.
Clearly, they were high-level talismans.
If these thousands of talismans exploded simultaneously, within a radius of dozens of miles, it would become a sea of thunder and fire.
How could anyone survive?
In desperation, Chen Haitao abandoned setting up the formation and begged with his magic techniques:
“It was all a misunderstanding, we surrender and beg for mercy…”
However, what he heard next was a series of explosions of talismans, deafening and shaking the earth.
Peng! Peng!
Peng! Peng! Peng!
This world instantly turned into a purple sea of fire, with terrifying high temperatures burning everything to nothingness.
Within the sea of fire, there was also a surge of violent lightning energy.
With such terrifying power, even cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm would only suffer severe injuries or perish if caught in it.
In the distance,
Du Jiuyou led a group of people waiting for good news from the front.
As long as the strongholds were breached, he could lead these elite troops composed of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators to advance swiftly!
His divine sense spread out, and he sensed a startling tremor ahead!
“The battle has begun!”
Du Jiuyou’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glint, his face twisted in anger: “Charge in, let me slaughter them all until not a single piece of armor remains!”
“Now is the time to establish our dominance and seize resources!”
Behind him, the faces of several people revealed a crazed look, with shocking murderous intent sweeping out.
“k*ll! k*ll! Drive the Liyue Celestial Dynasty out of the Heavenly Desolate Mountain Range!”
“Let’s go!”
Du Jiuyou took the lead, his figure transforming into a rainbow-like light, shooting out like an arrow.
His speed was incredibly fast, so much so that even his afterimage couldn’t be seen.
The others followed suit, exerting their utmost speed, just like hungry wolves spotting prey.
They feared that if they moved too slowly, they might miss out on the spoils.
A horde of Nine Absolutes Sect cultivators surged forward like a flood, crazily charging towards the territory of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
It took less than half an hour to enter their domain.
Unexpectedly smooth progress.
Du Jiuyou stopped and said cautiously, “Why is there no sound of fighting? Did Chen Haitao move so quickly?”
“Did they resolve the strongholds without waiting for us and rush in themselves?”
—
He thought more and more that it was possible!
The Liyue Celestial Dynasty would not have been prepared for such a sudden attack by the Nine Absolutes Sect!
Under these circumstances, an ambush could achieve the maximum effect.
Du Jiuyou cursed inwardly and decided to continue advancing with his disciples.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
“Not good, prepare for defense!”
In the next moment, the scenery around him began to change, various light screens flickering on.
The green mountains and clear waters around him transformed.
Du Jiuyou’s tone became stern, “We’ve walked into a trap, we’re inside someone else’s array.”
A commotion erupted.
Many faces showed expressions of shock.
At this moment, the large formation had fully taken shape, an invisible light curtain tightly trapping hundreds of people inside.
The commander of the Xuan Ying Guard, Wei Lan, hovered in the sky.
Behind him, eight generals and hundreds of elite guards of the Celestial Dynasty closely followed.
At this moment, everyone looked at Wei Lan with admiration on their faces.
The Nine Absolutes Sect was truly planning to ambush them!
Wei Lan smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need to look at me like that, this is all by the Emperor’s will!”
The eight generals’ faces turned solemn, bowing and saying, “The Emperor is wise!”
After a moment, the group arrived outside the large formation.
Wei Lan’s delicate face revealed a bright smile as she said coldly:
“Old Monster Du, didn’t expect this?”
Inside the formation, including Du Jiuyou, all the people from the Nine Absolutes Sect were filled with intense fear when they saw Wei Lan appear.
Wei Lan, the commander of the Xuan Ying Guard!
Her methods of torture were said to be unbearable even for immortals!
Du Jiuyou felt even more hopeless knowing that Wei Lan was here.
This meant that the other side had prepared everything in advance!
But how did they get exposed? He racked his brain but couldn’t think of where things went wrong.
“Wei Lan!”
“What do you want to do? Aren’t you afraid that the Nine Absolutes Sect will declare war?”
Du Jiuyou still harbored a shred of hope.
He gambled that Wei Lan wouldn’t go all out, considering both sides would tear each other apart.
“Hehe…”
Wei Lan smiled even more brightly, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t k*ll you for now.”
Du Jiuyou and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
But they heard her voice again, “But I will torture you first, then castrate you, and send you to the palace as eunuchs!”
“…”
Du Jiuyou and the others felt a heavy heart. Although they weren’t famous, they were at least local powerhouses.
If their cultivation was ruined and they were sent to the palace as eunuchs!
They would rather be killed.
At that point, not only them, but even the Nine Absolutes Sect would bear immense shame and be ridiculed.
Du Jiuyou felt a chill, roaring, “Evil woman, have the guts to k*ll me!”
—
In the Nine Absolutes Sect,
in a unique palace on top of a mountain, Lei Jue had placed fine spirit tea in front of him.
But he had no heart to taste it.
For some reason, he felt uneasy.
Fortunately, the soul tokens of the people he sent to the Nine Absolutes Mountain Range, Du Jiuyou and others, hadn’t shattered.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to sit still.
Lei Jue muttered to himself, “Nothing bad will happen, with so many people, ambushing the Heavenly Desolate Mountain Range should be enough!”
“But according to reason, messages should have come by now!”
“Let’s wait a bit longer…”
—
In the Jiang Family territory,
in a Cave Heaven, Jiang Wujì frowned slightly and said softly, “What’s Lei Jue up to?”
“Why hasn’t there been any news for so long?”
He thought that the Liyue Celestial Dynasty wasn’t an ordinary force, so it was normal to take a bit longer.
There were also a dozen or so figures around him.
Someone asked, “Could something have happened to Lei Jue?”
Jiang Wujì smiled faintly and shook his head, “Don’t worry, everything is under control!”
“Ye Qingge can’t cause much trouble!”
But after waiting, several more days passed.
Unconsciously,
it was approaching the date when the Emperor’s diary was to be released.
Jiang Wujì looked at the many figures present and calmly said, “Do not panic, everything is under my control!”
“No matter what, the plan will not change!”
He paused and added with a smile, “Let’s read the diary first!”
“I wonder what tricks the Eternal Emperor still has up his sleeve. In a few days, no matter how he writes, it won’t shake us anymore.”
