Xuanji was taken aback; she had not expected Chen Moxuan to make such a request. However, seeing the cunning glint in Chen Moxuan's eyes, she immediately understood his intentions.
"Shidu, go," Xuanji said sternly.
Though Shidu felt reluctant, he had no choice but to obey Xuanji's command. "Yes, Holy Maiden."
Watching Shidu's departing figure, Chen Moxuan turned to Xuanji and said, "You people from Feizhou certainly know how to make a grand entrance. No matter what plans Su Yu has now, he cannot act under your watchful eyes."
"Why not apply some pressure on him? Perhaps we can force out the remnants of the Blood Emperor's soul, making him reveal his weaknesses in anger and despair."
Xuanji appeared somewhat embarrassed by the suggestion.
On the mountaintop, Su Yu's eyes flashed with a sinister light. The arrival of the Heavenly Pivot Sacred Land had undoubtedly disrupted his plans. A surge of intense resentment and anger welled up within him as he cursed fiercely, "Heavenly Pivot Sacred Land, you ants dare to ruin my grand scheme!"
A cruel smile spread across his face, resembling a beast poised to pounce. But so what? Would Su Yu simply concede defeat?
In that moment when Su Yu closed his eyes and then opened them again, a deep and malevolent voice echoed from within him, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.
"We cannot obtain the Dragon Vein Power, but we have other means. Until we grow stronger, we must not engage these human Holy Lands in battle."
A glimmer of cunning flashed in Su Yu's eyes. "Anque City holds the power we need! You require blood and flesh, do you not?"
"Now that Di Sha Zhan Bu has been labeled a traitor, they have just concluded their war with the Azure Wolf Kingdom. We will lead our forces into the Azure Wolf Kingdom; there lies the flesh and blood we seek."
It was a risky plan, but if successful, it would grant them enough power to summon the Rakshasa King.
A hint of madness laced Su Yu's voice as he spoke.
The remnants of the soul fell silent for a moment before slowly replying, "Then let us proceed."
Su Yu nodded, aware that this plan was fraught with risks, but he had no way out. He had to take a gamble; otherwise, he would forever lose the chance to bring someone back. He opened his eyes, a wild gleam flickering within them: "Then it's settled. We will head to Anque City."
Su Yu began to gather his troops, preparing for the journey to Anque City. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Pivot Sacred Land's Feizhou was also making its way toward Anque City. Xuanji and Chen Moxuan stood on the Feizhou, gazing at the distant horizon.
Xuanji looked at Chen Moxuan, a hint of concern in her eyes. "What do you think Su Yu will do?"
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated Su Yu's actions. He was a clever man who would not easily give up. "I believe he will find another way to summon the Rakshasa King."
Xuanji nodded; she knew that Chen Moxuan's judgments were usually accurate. After deploying the Dragon Vein guarding mission, they aimed to prevent Su Yu from discovering that he was being watched.
Leading most of the elite cultivators from Heavenly Pivot Sacred Land, they secretly tracked Su Yu's movements. With Tiger Brother's assistance, they did not need to get too close and would not be detected by the remnants within the Holy Blood Armor.
They were not in a hurry but moved cautiously, concealing their presence like ghosts weaving through the mountains and rivers, ensuring they remained undetected by Su Yu.
As they drew closer to Anque City, the tension and murderous aura in the air grew heavier. Suddenly, Tiger Brother exclaimed in surprise, "There's a battle happening in Anque City! Chen Xiaozi, it seems your descendant is struggling."
Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow. At that moment, the clouds on the horizon appeared tinged with an ominous dark red, heralding an unprecedented war about to unfold.
Finally, as their group approached Anque City, the sight before them tightened their hearts. Anque City, once a peaceful and serene small town, was now shrouded in the shadows of war.
On the city walls, Di Sha Zhan Bu warriors were fiercely clashing with an unprecedented army. That army belonged to Han Yuan Wang and comprised Ice Soul Puppets. Each Ice Soul Puppet possessed strength comparable to that of innate experts and showed no fear of death or fatigue.
They radiated a faint blue light, resembling ghosts crawling out from the depths of hell, wielding ice crystal swords as they engaged in a desperate battle with the Di Sha Zhan Bu warriors.
On the battlefield, ice and fire intertwined, creating a scene that was both breathtaking and horrifying. Although the Di Sha Zhan Bu warriors fought valiantly, they gradually found themselves overwhelmed by the seemingly endless onslaught of the Ice Soul Puppets. Each swing of the Ice Soul Puppet's sword claimed a life, yet they appeared oblivious to pain; even when their bodies were shattered, they could swiftly reassemble and continue fighting.
"We must act quickly," Xuanji said with a furrowed brow, turning to Chen Moxuan.
Chen Moxuan had not anticipated that the situation would escalate to this point. If Han Yuan Wang and Su Yu were to join forces, the consequences would be dire. The only question was whether Han Yuan Wang truly cared about the Blood Emperor. After all, he might not have even heard of the latter's infamous reputation.
As the group from Heavenly Pivot Sacred Land drew closer, the battle at Anque City grew increasingly brutal. Chen Moxuan realized they could not afford to wait any longer; every moment was crucial.
Just as he prepared to take action, Su Yu led his army to the edge of the battlefield. He looked at the Di Sha Zhan Bu warriors fighting fiercely against the Ice Soul Puppets on the city walls, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His arrival forced the Ice Soul Puppet army to halt their relentless assault and turn to face him.
Su Yu regarded Han Yuan Wang with an inquisitive tone. "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Han Yuan Wang smirked coldly. He did not respond immediately but instead scrutinized Su Yu from a lofty position, as if assessing his worth. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I am Han Yuan Wang, a natural Conquester. I will conquer everything; but first, I must settle some personal grudges."
Su Yu felt more astonished than anything else upon hearing this. Just as he was about to negotiate further, a chilling aura suddenly erupted from within him—the remnant soul within the Holy Blood Armor stirred.
"Han Yuan Wang," it declared, "I am the Blood Emperor. I suggest you follow me instead."
To everyone's surprise, Han Yuan Wang scoffed dismissively and replied, "Hmph! A mere ancient demon dares to show off before me?" His eyes were filled with disdain; clearly, he did not regard the Blood Emperor's remnant soul as a threat.
The remnant soul within the Holy Blood Armor felt angered yet more astonished by Han Yuan Wang's arrogance.
