Chapter 1103 - 678: Raise Troops to Demand Justice! (4K)_2
“Young master, young master, where exactly are we going?”
“To the Lower Realm, Mount Taihua.”
At Miluo Palace, Emperor Ku, along with three True Sovereigns, led eight thousand disciples to the Lower Realm.
Emperor Ku even mobilized fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to assert their presence.
“Emperor Ku, you really went all out this time, even asking three True Sovereigns to come forward.”
Prince Long was also in the Miluo Palace’s entourage.
When he saw the three ancient True Sovereigns of immense cultivation leading the way, he was surprised.
It’s just to get someone, yet they invited three True Sovereigns, a bit of an overkill.
“That fellow Lu Changsheng will never release anyone easily; this time he has no choice but to submit.”
Emperor Ku’s eyes flashed with a hint of murder.
“Have you broken through to the Sixth Grade Divine King Realm?”
Prince Long felt the powerful aura of Emperor Ku and was even more surprised.
During the Heavenly Court Conference, Emperor Ku was still a Ninth Grade Divine King. After that, he went into seclusion to cultivate diligently, and Prince Long hadn’t seen much of him since.
Seeing Emperor Ku again this time, with him having become a Sixth Grade Divine King, exceeded Prince Long’s expectations.
Emperor Ku glanced at Prince Long, who was usually carefree and never really serious, and replied, “I just broke through to the Sixth Grade Divine King Realm. If you keep being so nonchalant, your cultivation will be left far behind by me.”
Prince Long smiled wryly, “I don’t have the complete Supreme Imperial Physique bloodline, no need to train as hard as you do, this is fine.”
Emperor Ku did not continue the conversation; his target was Lu Changsheng.
After the Heavenly Court Conference, he finally found an opportunity to humiliate his opponent.
At Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Chen Yao and Lin Qingzhi were cultivating when they suddenly sensed a terrifying aura descending, and their expressions changed.
“They’re here.”
Chen Yao and Lin Qingzhi had long anticipated this day, that Miluo Palace would come to demand justice.
Yet no one expected Miluo Palace to make such a grand gesture, with three True Sovereigns, eight thousand disciples, and fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, descending upon the Taihua Divine Mountain!
“Have the people from Miluo Palace arrived? Such a strong aura.”
Xu Jing, also cultivating at Yuntai Peak, sensed the terrifying aura of the three True Sovereigns and felt secretly alarmed.
Yun Qianyue sensed the aura of the Heavenly Court experts and remained silent.
Dugu Aotian, who was also cultivating at Yuntai Peak, as the son of the Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian, could not easily appear before the people of the Heavenly Court, especially not in front of the True Sovereigns of Miluo Palace, otherwise he would be captured and thrown into the Ninefold Heavenly Prison.
The arrival of Miluo Palace’s forceful demands alarmed the entire Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Lin Shiyu, the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan, the Ancestor of the Jiang Clan, Lin Xuantong, Liu Yue’er, Jiang Sheng, and other high-ranking members of Mount Taihua Sacred Land all appeared in front of the main hall plaza of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
The many elders and disciples of Miluo Palace, as well as the fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, were imposing.
The pressure from the three True Sovereigns covered the entire Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
If they were to act, Mount Taihua Sacred Land might not even be able to activate its Mountain Protecting Divine Formation and could be destroyed in an instant.
Each True Sovereign was an ancient great power of the same level as the Taihua Sword Maiden who established Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
They were all backing Emperor Ku in making his demands; the pressure on Mount Taihua Sacred Land was unprecedented.
Even the strongest of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Lin Shiyu, was no match for any of the True Sovereigns.
Lin Xuantong reluctantly stepped forward, “Your Highness, Emperor Ku, and the esteemed True Sovereigns, what brings you to Taihua Divine Mountain?”
“Lin Xuantong, you know full well. Hand over the person quickly.”
Emperor Ku was not polite.
The force he brought could easily destroy Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Mount Taihua Sacred Land, if not careful, might be in danger.
“Our Miluo Palace and Mysterious Lady Palace are in an alliance by marriage, which was supposed to be a good thing. Your Mount Taihua Sacred Land should not be ignorant of what is good for you.”
A True Sovereign holding a horsetail whisk frowned, displeased.
Such a trivial matter, and they had to come out of their seclusion.
In the realm below, Mount Taihua Sacred Land is only considered a middle-tier sacred land among the Human Race Holy Land, naturally incomparable to such a giant as Miluo Palace.
If the Taihua Sword Maiden who established Mount Taihua Sacred Land were still here, he would avoid confrontation.
With the Taihua Sword Maiden gone, there was no one in Mount Taihua Sacred Land who could match him.
Yet Mount Taihua Sacred Land dared to offend Miluo Palace.
“I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Dingyang True Sovereign from Miluo Palace. When you were defeated by my sister’s sword back then, you weren’t as arrogant as you are now.”
Lin Shiyu, being a half-ancient great power, recognized Dingyang True Sovereign among the three True Sovereigns.
Lin Shiyu’s words made Dingyang True Sovereign slightly embarrassed.
This time Miluo Palace brought eight thousand disciples, and the Heavenly Court brought fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
They all heard Dingyang True Sovereign’s embarrassing history firsthand and exchanged glances with each other.
It turns out Dingyang True Sovereign was once defeated by the Taihua Sword Maiden in ancient times.
Dingyang True Sovereign’s face turned blue.
With his high status in the Heavenly Court and as one of the higher-ups in Miluo Palace, he did not expect Lin Shiyu to show him no respect and publicly expose his past.
To save face, Dingyang True Sovereign had no choice but to say, “The Taihua Sword Maiden was exceptionally talented and realized a second path; when I was defeated by her sword, I was convinced. The past is the past, and now is now. Hand over the person quickly, and I will return to seclusion and cultivation.”
“Are you all seeking to be enemies with our Miluo Palace?”
“Lin young girl, don’t be unwise.”
The other two True Sovereigns also spoke up.
With the Taihua Sword Maiden gone, the current power of Mount Taihua Sacred Land had no qualification to speak with them.
In their seasoned eyes, Lin Shiyu was no more than a young girl.
“The ill-intentioned people from Miluo Palace are here, we can’t risk offending Miluo Palace over someone who isn’t from our Mount Taihua Sacred Land. It would be better to hand over Chen Yao, so the people from Miluo Palace would leave on their own.”
Jiang Sheng communicated telepathically to Lin Shiyu, the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan, the Ancestor of the Jiang Clan, and the Patriarch Ye.
Clearly, Miluo Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land had no significant grievances; if Miluo Palace wanted someone, just give them.
“When my sister left the Heavenly Court, her first disciple, who was your ancestor, was much braver than you descendants.”
Lin Shiyu was somewhat dissatisfied.
However, she also had no good solution.
Her cultivation was indeed not up to par with her sister, the Taihua Sword Maiden, and she couldn’t possibly force back three ancient True Sovereigns by herself.
Lin Xuantong and Liu Yue’er exchanged glances, seeing the anxiety in each other’s eyes.
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan had not returned yet, leaving this mess for them with no means to deal with it.
“Do you intend to go against our Miluo Palace?”
Emperor Ku immediately gave Mount Taihua Sacred Land an ultimatum.
“Just take the person away then.”
Dingyang True Sovereign’s terrifying Divine Sense quickly swept through Mount Taihua Sacred Land and soon pinpointed Chen Yao’s location.
With just a move of the Universe in the Sleeve, he could take her away.
“No rush.” Emperor Ku, however, interrupted Dingyang True Sovereign’s intention, “Where is Lu Changsheng? Is he afraid of me, hiding on purpose?”
“Emperor Ku, no one is hiding from you.”
Lu Changsheng’s voice echoed.
Emperor Ku’s face turned black.
The nemesis had arrived.
Emperor Ku, the three True Sovereigns, and many elders and disciples of Miluo Palace, along with fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all looked towards the voice’s source.
Sure enough, Lu Changsheng had appeared.
However, Lu Changsheng was accompanied by people from Guanghan, Yaochi, Changliu, and Kunlun, the Four Great Sacred Lands!
Lin Qinghan was with the people from Yaochi, Guanghan Sacred Land was led by Xia Ningxue, Changliu Sacred Land was led by Li Changye, and Kunlun Sacred Land was led by Yan Zhiqiu.
The people of Miluo Palace felt less assured.
Lu Changsheng’s side, counting Mount Taihua Sacred Land, totaled five Sacred Lands.
Among them, the Guanghan Sacred Land and Kunlun Sacred Land were the descendants of two of the Ten Great Divine Palaces of ancient times, the Guanghan Palace and the Purple Void Palace.
Yaochi and Changliu are respectable, and aligned with Mount Taihua Sacred Land, they’re not to be underestimated.
“Did you think finding a bunch of nobodies would make me concede?”
Emperor Ku steadied his mind, realizing those from the Sacred Lands were just disciples and ordinary elders, and he relaxed.
He initially thought Lu Changsheng had brought in those old monsters from the Purple Void Palace and Guanghan Palace.
Even high-ranking figures like the Yaochi Holy Mother weren’t present.
How could they compete with the three ancient True Sovereigns he invited?
“Is that so?”
Lu Changsheng remained confident.
Using the system to simulate the life of his disciple Chen Yao, he foresaw Miluo Palace’s demanding visit today, so he called in reinforcements to show strength.
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, calculated the time, and said, “Elder Su should be arriving soon.”
