Chapter 64: There’s no rush, I still have control!
A streak of crimson light flew in from the horizon.
It arrived almost instantly before Jiang Wujì and the others, emitting an eerie wave.
Jiang Wujì’s face changed slightly. The figures shrouded under the hoods behind him also felt their aura tremble.
Almost all eyes focused on the crimson bead.
“What is this…”
They were all too familiar with what this thing was, but how did Cao Jue end up in such a situation?
Just as everyone was puzzled, a wisp of Cao Jue’s soul emerged, staring at Jiang Wujì and said:
“Stop controlling, I’m done for!”
“The Nine Absolutes Sect is gone, and I estimate that those four great emperors won’t fare much better!”
Hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed.
Jiang Wujì’s face turned green with anger as he asked, “How could this happen? With four great emperors, how could they not subdue the Liyue Celestial Dynasty?”
As he spoke, his heart skipped a beat; could there be another move they hadn’t anticipated?
Even with four great emperors acting together, they couldn’t even protect Cao Jue—it was truly inconceivable.
Cao Jue fell silent for a moment before saying with a sneer, “There must be something you can’t control, some demon woman who appeared out of nowhere!”
“She’s unbelievably strong; I’ve been around for thousands of years, and I couldn’t even withstand one punch from her!”
He paused, then added, “Ye Qingge concealed her cultivation, and with Purple Paulownia Great Emperor, the two of them alone could resist the combined might of the four great emperors.”
“If that demon woman joins the battle, we’ll all d*e together. The Nine Absolutes Sect will be completely finished! You all deal with it!”
Jiang Wujì’s heart sank sharply. A demon woman? Was this a back-up plan arranged by Lin Feng or Ye Xi?
At this moment, four auras descended from the sky!
These were the four great emperors of destruction.
“Jiang Wujì, it’s too late to turn back. These rebels have become formidable!”
The leading great emperor said, “We will definitely report this to the emperors and mobilize stronger forces to eliminate these rebels once and for all!”
Jiang Wujì and the others reluctantly sighed with relief.
On the other side, Que Ruyi and the ancestor of the Pei family also breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Liyue Celestial Dynasty holding its ground, their goals had been achieved. Plus, with the arrival of the four great emperors, the fighting stopped!
Que Ruyi hesitated for a moment before solemnly ordering, “Withdraw!”
The leaders of the major factions almost simultaneously issued commands. Moments later, the battle subsided, and both sides retreated a thousand feet.
Facing off from afar.
The only thing Que Ruyi was concerned about right now was whether Ye Xi had completed the task he set out to do.
“If it hasn’t been done yet, we’ll just have to keep stalling for time!”
At this point, Ye Qingge led a group of celestial dynasty elites to arrive from behind.
Otherwise, things would have turned passive here.
This was the mutual understanding agreed upon by all parties before the battle began. Any side gaining an advantage would quickly provide support.
Purple Paulownia Great Emperor and Qing Dai were also involved.
Que Ruyi had met Purple Paulownia Great Emperor before, but she was seeing Qing Dai for the first time.
Their first encounter, their eyes met.
Qing Dai’s gaze was cold, flashing with a hint of anger.
This made Que Ruyi somewhat confused. She was certain she had never seen the other party before. Where did this unexpected hostility come from?
But given the current situation, it wasn’t convenient to ask.
Jiang Wujì looked at everyone with gritted teeth and sneered, “This time you got lucky!”
“But luck won’t last forever. You’ll eventually realize how foolish your actions are and how powerful your opponents are!”
Ye Qingge slowly said, looking disdainfully at him and adding lightly,
“Just bring it on!”
“One day, your fate will be the same as that of the Nine Absolutes Sect today!”
At this moment, Gongyang Mu and Zhao Shanhe of the Xuan Bird Guard had already led people to occupy the territory of the Nine Absolutes Sect.
They would eliminate them completely, leaving no chance for them to rise again.
Hearing this, Jiang Wujì felt depressed. After losing the An Family and the Nine Absolutes Sect, how would those above view this?
The most severe problem wasn’t this, but the fact that after being exposed, their future plans would become more difficult.
Although most factions in the cultivation world didn’t participate in this war, they had begun to secretly guard against it.
“Let’s wait and see!”
Jiang Wujì sneered. He still placed his hopes on the great emperors.
If they went all out, they still had a chance to win.
Both sides faced off for a while longer.
Then, a figure dressed in red and wearing a mask flew over from a distance, whispering something.
“Ye Xi sent me to inform you that you can withdraw now!”
Que Ruyi’s face revealed a smile, finally feeling relieved.
Though she didn’t know what Ye Xi was doing, she was sure it wasn’t easy and extremely dangerous.
Since Ye Xi was Lin Feng’s disciple, Que Ruyi and the others certainly didn’t want anything to happen to him.
This outcome was the best possible result.
—
In the Jiang Family’s domain.
In a cave heaven, the atmosphere was heavy.
Jiang Wujì gritted his teeth, his face dark and terrifying. He hadn’t expected the decisive battle to end in such a result.
For a moment, everyone present found it hard to accept.
With eight great destroyers deployed, they still couldn’t destroy the Liyue Celestial Dynasty. What does this mean?
If blamed from above, none of them would escape!
“Huh…”
After a long while, Jiang Wujì exhaled, slowly saying,
“This failure was due to our underestimation of Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge’s true strength!”
“They hid it so well!”
“To win, one must understand both oneself and the enemy. Next time, I won’t make such mistakes again!”
Jiang Wujì paused, then added, “Overall, it’s still within my control…”
A crimson bead floated in the air, violently shaking as if in distress.
Cao Jue almost flew into a rage.
Jiang Wujì’s expression darkened as he asked, “Daoist friend Cao, do you have a different opinion?”
Cao Jue: “…”
Moments later, a voice came from within the crimson bead, “Let’s discuss what to do next!”
Jiang Wujì withdrew his gaze, consoling, “No need to worry. For us families and factions, what matters most?”
“As long as the Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison remains secure, everything else is minor!”
Hearing this, the others nodded.
Guarding the Abandoned Mountain Imperial Prison was their value, and the emperors wouldn’t easily touch them.
Inside the crimson bead, Cao Jue’s soul also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “As long as I possess a great emperor’s body and refine the foreign essence, my cultivation won’t decline but advance further!”
Of course, there was a price…
That from now on, life and d*ath would depend on the whim of the heavenly sovereigns.
Regardless of how powerful their cultivation was.
But now, Cao Jue had no choice; he had no way out!
Jiang Wujì continued, “Alright, let’s disperse. Temporary setbacks don’t matter.”
“There’s no rush, I still have control. The advantage is still ours!”
However, at this moment,
An old member of the Jiang family burst in, looking at Jiang Wujì with alarm.
