1365 The War Begins, One Against Ten Thousand (1)
While the ancestral land was peaceful, the atmosphere in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was abnormally oppressive.
After returning from the border of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, Zhan Jingtao was brimming with anger.
Mu Zhixing was dead. But instead of his anger being vented, he felt even more aggrieved.
Self-destructing was letting him off too easily.
Moreover, with Mu Zhixingâs death, they didnât recover their losses at all.
âCommander Zhan, are you sure Mu Zhixing is dead?â Wu Suchen said weakly.
âBrother Wu, are you suspecting me?â Zhan Jingtaoâs expression was ugly. âI saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?â
âNo,â Wu Suchen explained. âItâs just that I feel that things are a little strange. According to our previous contact with Mu Zhixing, he shouldnât be the kind of person who would die so easily.â
Wu Suchen frowned in thought.
âAlthough I also think itâs a little strange, I saw him self-destruct with my own eyes. It canât be fake,â Zhan Jingtao said.
Wu Suchen said, âIs it possible that someone disguised themselves as him and deliberately misled us?â
âImpossible.â Zhan Jingtao shook his head. âBrother Wu, Iâm not blind. Iâve fought Mu Zhixing before. I canât possibly not know if Iâm seeing a human or a ghost.â
Although Wu Suchen was still a little puzzled, he nodded.
Zhan Jingtao was not an ordinary person. If he didnât even have this bit of vision, how could he become the commander of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdomâs Golden Dragon Guards?
Wu Suchen pondered and said, âThe Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom doesnât want to fall out with our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, so itâs possible they pushed Mu Zhixing out to die.
âThis way, we wonât have any reason to find trouble with Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom anymore.â
Zhan Jingtao said unhappily, âLin Kelei is a lunatic. If we continue to harp on this matter, that bastard might really start a war.
âAlthough our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom isnât afraid, now that the Black Emperor has asked us to occupy the ancestral land, if we start a war on both sides, the pressure on us will be big. If we delay, it wonât be easy to explain.
âWe can only let Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom off for the time being.â
Wu Suchen was full of grievances. âCommander Zhan, the Ten Imperial Cauldrons in the ancestral land are a little difficult to deal with. But after thinking hard for the past few days, Iâve finally thought of a way to break through it.
âLeave the Ten Imperial Cauldrons to us refiners. The rest will be up to the Golden Dragon Guards.â
Wu Suchen said solemnly, âThis time, I hope there wonât be any more accidents. If this drags on, Iâm afraid the Black Emperor will be unhappy. At that time, you and I will suffer.â
âI know what Iâm doing,â Zhan Jingtao said. âWhat about the refining materials?â
Previously, Mu Zhixing had stolen countless refining materials from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, almost emptying Wu Suchenâs warehouse.
Zhan Jingtao and Wu Suchen had gone to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom one after another. It was one thing to settle scores with Mu Zhixing, but it was another thing to get the refining materials back.
But now that Mu Zhixing was dead, it was definitely impossible for Lin Kelei to return the refining materials to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Without this batch of refining materials, it would have a huge impact on the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
First, the dharma treasure that the Black Emperor had instructed Wu Suchen to refine couldnât be completed on time. Second, the supply of dharma treasures for the army would be interrupted.
âUse war to nurture war.â A cold glint flashed across Wu Suchenâs eyes. âCommander Zhan, you should know this better than me, right?
âI suspect that the remnants of the Heavenly Court in the ancestral land obtained the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court. The Ten Imperial Cauldrons are most likely an ancient Heavenly Court dharma treasure they obtained.
âAs long as we pacify the ancestral land and snatch what they have, we will get everything back, and we can even make a profit.â
Wu Suchenâs tone was full of killing intent as he gritted his teeth. âTherefore, Commander Zhan, we must completely destroy those remnants of the Heavenly Court this time. We canât give them any more chances!â
Zhan Jingtao narrowed his eyes and snorted. âDonât worry. This time, all the Golden Dragon Guards will attack. Not to mention the ancestral land, even in the other four heavenly kingdoms, no army can stop my Golden Dragon Guards!â
Zhan Jingtao was full of confidence. His Golden Dragon Guards were the most powerful army in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms, including the ancestral land.
When the Golden Dragon Guards became serious, no army in the world could be their match.
âAlright!â Wu Suchen gritted his teeth. âJust let us cooperate once and destroy the remnants of the Heavenly Court in one go!â
âŠ
Boom!
A roar came from the sky of the ancestral land.
A translucent light barrier appeared, revealing cracks.
âWu Suchen has improved.â Zhou Shu stood in front of the Eight Views Palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.
âYour Highness, oh no, the Ten Imperial Cauldrons canât hold on anymore!â Shi Songtao said worriedly.
âYes, they canât hold on anymore,â Zhou Shu said. âNo matter how tough a tortoise shell is, itâs impossible to hide for the rest of our lives. The Ten Imperial Cauldrons have already completed their mission by buying us so much time.
âNext, itâs time for the real war.â
Zhou Shuâs expression was calm. He knew that it was impossible to hide for the rest of his life.
But with the time bought by the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, they had settled the problem of demonic beasts and even welcomed reinforcements. This was already very good.
It was impossible to count on the Ten Imperial Cauldrons to settle this once and for all.
