Chapter 243: The Path Can Be Stolen
In the City of Slaughter,
"Master, are we really going to give up the City of Slaughter tomorrow?" Ye Qiu asked reluctantly.
"Yes." Blood Robe nodded with a smile.
"Why? I still have the strength to fight and am willing to be your vanguard!" Ye Qiu insisted on fighting.
"Do I need to explain my actions to you? Pass down the order to reorganize the troops; we will withdraw from the City of Slaughter tomorrow," Blood Robe said coldly.
Under pressure, Ye Qiu suppressed his helplessness and replied, "Yes, Master."
After Ye Qiu left, Blood Robe lightly shook the blood fan in his hand, looking at the forest where Divine Ability was located, murmuring, "Sigh! You and I, why bother? Why go through this..."
In Order Imperial City,
"Jade Emperor, we have received news from our spies in the City of Slaughter," Yi Tianming said.
"Please speak, sir," Jade Emperor replied.
"When Divine Ability was fighting against Blood Robe from Dading Heaven, Divine Ability had a chance to take Blood Robe's life but chose to let him go," Yi Tianming said, frowning as he looked at the information in his hand.
"Hmm? Why is that?" Jade Emperor also frowned and asked.
"I do not know."
Suddenly, there was a dead silence. After a long pause, Jade Emperor sighed softly and then said, "Recall Divine Ability; let the stars take the City of Slaughter."
"Returning to the Jade Emperor, Blood Robe has ceded the City of Slaughter, which is now the territory of my Order," Yi Tianming said with a frown.
"You mean to say that Blood Robe has given the City of Slaughter to Divine Ability?!!!" the Jade Emperor shouted, but then quickly calmed down.
"Yes," Yi Tianming sighed and nodded.
"What a heavy scheme; I almost fell for Blood Robe's plot," the Jade Emperor seemed to see through something and then said, "Sir, please gather all information on Blood Robe immediately. I want to see it before tomorrow's court session!"
"Yes, Jade Emperor," Yi Tianming nodded.
"And leave Divine Ability in the City of Slaughter," the Jade Emperor said.
"Why?" Yi Tianming asked, wondering why the Jade Emperor would still trust someone suspected of colluding with outsiders.
"If we recall Divine Ability, then we would be playing into Blood Robe's hands," the Jade Emperor specified.
In an instant, Yi Tianming understood: "What a heavy scheme, what deep ambitions."
Lingxiao City, Lingxiao Palace,
"Celestial Emperor, the three vanguard commanders from Dading Heaven invading our Eastern Continent are Blood Robe, Black Eye, and Dao," Chen Gu said.
"Dao?" Yang Chen frowned and inquired.
"That's right; this person's name is just one character, 'Dao,'" Chen Gu replied.
"Investigate the backgrounds of these three individuals thoroughly, especially this 'Dao,'" Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"How is the current situation on the battlefield?" Yang Chen asked.
"Black Eye is responsible for conquering Territory, 'Dao' is responsible for conquering Huangzhou, and Blood Robe is responsible for conquering Xuanzhou. Currently, Black Eye has occupied one territory of the Earth Continent, 'Dao' has occupied nearly two territories in Huangzhou, while Blood Robe has only occupied the City of Slaughter. According to reports, Blood Robe has withdrawn from the City of Slaughter and returned it to War Divine Ability," Chen Gu said. "Jade Emperor, there are suspicions that War Divine Ability has colluded with Dading Heavenly Kingdom."
"Oh? Please tell me more," Yang Chen said, suddenly interested. War Divine Ability is an eighth-tier Deity who followed Jade Emperor down from the Upper Realm, and it would be unlikely for him to casually collude with Dading Heavenly Kingdom.
"The facts are as follows..." Gradually, Chen Gu relayed the details to Yang Chen.
"This Blood Robe is not simple," Yang Chen said, taking a slight breath.
"Celestial Emperor?" Chen Gu replied.
"Subtle instigation," Yang Chen said.
"Celestial Emperor, is this a scheme of instigation?" Chen Gu asked.
"Otherwise, do you really think War Divine Ability would betray Jade Emperor?" Yang Chen retorted.
"Celestial Emperor is wise; I have been misled," Chen Gu quickly responded.
"The one involved is confused, while the observer sees clearly. Chen Gu, you are neither an outsider nor merely an observer; you are a participant, which is why you have been misled," Yang Chen explained.
"The involved, the observer, the participant..." Chen Gu murmured, then respectfully said, "Thank you, Celestial Emperor, I understand now."
"Let the soldiers of Huangzhou protect themselves well. If they truly cannot hold out, they should head directly to Territory. Within three months, Huangzhou will fall," Yang Chen stated.
"Yes."
"Shadow One," Yang Chen commanded.
"My Lords are here." Ten shadowy figures emerged from the void of the Sky.
"Go outside the Hengduan Mountains and search for the traces of Fairy Yao'er. Be careful," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor." With that, the ten figures transformed into ten strands of black silk and vanished.
"Eighteen Shura Generals."
"Greetings, Lord." Eighteen strands of blood appeared and then transformed into eighteen figures.
"Go to the Territory and Huangzhou to gather intelligence on the battle situation, focusing on Huangzhou, and investigate this person named 'Dao'," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Lord." The eighteen Shura Generals nodded and then turned into eighteen strands of blood, dissipating into the air.
"Dao? Great Unity Celestial Sovereign?" Yang Chen murmured.
On the battlefield of Huangzhou,
"My Lord, this is the last city in the Western Southern Territory. Once we capture this territory, both regions of Huangzhou will belong to Dading," a soldier reported to a figure dressed in a black robe with long purple hair flowing freely.
"It's just two territories," the purple-haired youth shook his head and replied.
Just two territories? How long has it been? The general thought to himself.
"Since Star Peak City is the last city, let's take it today," the lord said casually.
"My Lord, this might be a bit difficult. Star Peak City is surrounded by walls a hundred meters high on three sides and mountains on three sides; it's a place that's easy to defend but hard to attack. Moreover, the millions of soldiers inside have not lost their fighting spirit despite their defeat; instead, they are more determined than ever. It would be unwise to launch a strong attack now. Therefore, I request a three-day truce to surround them without attacking and diminish their morale."
"Three days? That's too long. In three days, I could capture ten cities," the lord shook his head coldly.
"This..."
"Prepare the troops!" the Purple-haired Lord raised his right hand and said.
"Roar!" Millions of soldiers behind him raised their long swords and spears, drawing bows and arrows, forming a complete circle, ready to strike.
Seeing this scene, the Purple-haired Lord nodded slightly, pointed forward with his right hand, and shouted, "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, heed my command - Earth: Fortification Technique!" After speaking, a brown light glowed on his right index finger, which he then directed towards Star Peak City. The brown light enveloped the city walls and gates, instantly enhancing their defenses by dozens or even hundreds of times.
"My Lord, what are you..."
"Do I need to explain myself to you?" the Purple-haired youth said coldly.
"My Lord, that's not what I meant. Please calm down."
"Hmph." The Purple-haired youth snorted and said nothing more.
"Haha, Dao, why bother reinforcing our city gates?" A hearty laugh came from within Star Peak City, teasing him. At the same time, he whispered to those around him, "When things seem unusual, there must be something amiss. Everyone, be careful."
"Demon Emperor, we understand."
After fortifying the city walls, Dao revealed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. He then summoned a purple long sword and formed a hand seal with his right hand. The purple long sword grew in size with the wind and hovered in the sky as Dao stood on it and slowly ascended.
"Dao Technique? Sword Control Technique?" Flame Emperor murmured.
"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, heed my command! Water: Flooding the Golden Mountain."
Suddenly, torrents of water gushed from Dao's sleeves and surged towards Star Peak City.
"Cosmic Power from his sleeves? This person is attempting a water attack; everyone be cautious," Flame Emperor warned.
"How could mere ordinary water drown us? Is this person out of their mind?" one person said.
"It might not be that simple," the Demon Emperor replied.
"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, heed my command! Earth, Gravity Technique."
In an instant, the people within Star Peak City felt a weight of several times their normal gravity pressing down on them.
"Gravity Technique? Demon Emperor, our bodies are becoming sluggish, and our movements are becoming difficult."
"This person is reinforcing the city walls and using the Gravity Technique. I'm afraid..." the Demon Emperor said with concern. "Is it possible that such a significant effort would yield only trivial results?"
"Fool," Dao sneered. He then flicked his right hand, sending a crystal-clear droplet of water shooting out to merge with the vast expanse of water.
"Ah!" A person of considerable cultivation was instantly crushed to death by the torrent of water.
"What’s happening?" the crowd exclaimed in confusion. Can ordinary water really kill cultivators?
"Ah ah ah ah." Following that, it seemed like a chain reaction as one person after another fell dead.
"This water is wrong! This isn't ordinary water."
"According to my bloodline inheritance, this should be a product from another realm—Heavenly One Heavy Water!" the Flame Emperor said in terror.
"Heavenly One Heavy Water?"
"That's right. A single drop of Heavenly One Heavy Water can crush a martial artist below Deity level. Given the current situation, this person must have used a drop of Heavenly One Heavy Water mixed in with the floodwaters!" the Demon Emperor said, his face pale.
"So, if this continues, we will all perish?" the Demon Emperor frowned.
"No." The Flame Emperor shook his head.
Upon hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief, but the next words from the Flame Emperor immediately raised everyone's spirits again.
"Even if it is diluted Heavenly One Heavy Water, only those who are Five-Star Battle Saints or above can survive," the Flame Emperor said.
Instantly, everyone looked at each other and then around them. In that brief moment, hundreds of thousands had already perished, and the remaining people were holding on with Fighting Spirit. Even so, among the Saint of Combat level warriors, only a few remained. Those below Five-Star Battle Saints were pale and struggling to endure.
"If this continues, we will all become Sitting Ducks! Rather than this, we might as well go out and fight!"
"That's right! It's better to die gloriously in battle than to perish in such a cowardly way!"
"Yes, fight!" In an instant, countless lights flashed as everyone surged into the sky, charging against the torrential waters and pushing through with Gravity Technique.
"Do you realize now that it's too late?" Dao said with a pale face. In this Small Thousand Worlds, using Large Dao Technique was extremely draining on one's true energy.
"Archers, shoot everything!" With the Dao Guardian Sword in hand, he stood before the Three Armies and commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" The crowd was filled with fervor; perhaps they could take Star Peak City with zero casualties.
As the Soldiers charged out against the torrential waters, they quickly became targets, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
