Ji Tianxing stayed in Illusory Sun Blessed Land and waited for the leaders of the other four forces to arrive.
The news had already spread and was known by countless forces and powerhouses.
The attitude and confidence he displayed showed that he was confident that he could defeat Empyrean Godking and Firmament Continent. He was exceptionally confident and domineering.
Even if his whereabouts were exposed, he was not afraid that the Celestial King would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack or carry out some other scheme.
This also invisibly increased the courage and confidence of the people of the Firmament Mainland.
This brought a great deal of pressure and worry to the leaders of the nobles and top forces.
Although there was no news that the Celestial King had received the news and no one knew how the Celestial King would react.
But it didn't take a genius to figure out that the Empyrean God King must've known about this before the news spread.
Moreover, with the Celestial King's personality, he would definitely fly into a rage out of humiliation. He would hate the Kenshin to the core, but he would also be worried and fearful.
As for what he would do next and how he would react, they could only wait and see.
…
Ji Ke, Ji Wushuang, Chao Qingyu, Bai Feng, Nangong Nihuang and the others were still running around the Firmament Mainland.
They continued to carry out their missions and travel through different regions to investigate and report to Ji Tianxing.
Although they were scattered all over the Firmament Mainland, they received the news almost on the same day that the Kenshin had annihilated Commander Nan Feng's troops.
When they heard the good news, they felt proud and optimistic about the upcoming situation.
Originally, they thought that the Kenshin had already revealed their whereabouts.
Next, the Kenshin would definitely summon them to Illusory Sun Blessed Land to carry out the subsequent missions and battles.
However, to their surprise, the Kenshin did not summon them back. Instead, he sent them a message and asked them to gather in groups of twos and threes.
If they gathered together, their combat power would undoubtedly be stronger and their safety would be guaranteed.
The smarter ones understood that the Kenshin probably had a new mission for them.
Sure enough, three days later, when they all gathered together and formed eight teams, Ji Tianxing issued a new order.
Not only did they have to investigate the various regions, but they also had to do something more important.
That was to sneak into the Domain Chief's Manor. If the Domain Chief was present, they would capture him and force him to swear a simplified version of the Heavenly Oath to pledge loyalty to Kenshin.
If the Domain Chief was not present, they would have to find ways to destroy the Domain Chief's Manor and create chaos and conflict.
In short, the Kenshin had already publicly announced their whereabouts and declared war on the Celestial King. There was no way they would give the Celestial King a breather and allow him to deal with the situation calmly.
Letting his followers go around subduing the Area Masters who were left behind to guard the area and destroy the areas where there was no power. Although this could not directly harm the Celestial King's power, it could still play a role in restraining him.
After Ji Ke and his followers received the order, they quickly took action.
Every few days, the eight small groups of followers would frequently send back news of victory.
In various regions of the Firmament Mainland, Area Masters who were left behind to guard the area were constantly subdued and forced to swear allegiance to the Kenshin.
More news of victory was that the Domain Chief's Manor had been stirred up into a mess by his followers with all kinds of tricks.
When the Area Masters who stayed in Heaven Capital received the news that there was a big problem in their home base, they were all flustered and worried like ants on a hot pan.
There was no other way. This was the common problem of every Area Master.
They had to be loyal to the Celestial King and carry out the Celestial King's orders, but they were more concerned about their own territories and cave residences.
Hearing the bad news, every day there would be Area Masters who could not keep their cool and went to ask the Celestial King for instructions.
Although those anxious Area Masters were eventually suppressed by the Celestial King and could only stay in Heaven Capital obediently.
However, the Celestial King was distracted and wasted a lot of time. His mood also became more irritable.
Those Area Masters who were forcibly suppressed and forced back did not dare to resist on the surface, but they were resentful in their hearts.
In the eyes of some Area Masters, the Celestial King only cared about the safety of himself and Heaven Capital, and did not care about their territories and foundations at all.
What's more, it was inferred that the Celestial King's attitude was to use them as cannon fodder.
The discord between the ruler and his subjects was happening, but the Celestial King did not care about it.
He gathered many trusted generals and military counselors to discuss and study various countermeasures. He also had to arrange the troops and make various deployments as soon as possible.
In short, Empyrean Godking and his subordinates felt a great deal of pressure.
However, they did not dare to act rashly. The safest way was to strengthen the defense and see what Kenshin's next plan was.
Of course, some young and aggressive generals did not agree with the Celestial King's decision and raised objections.
They thought that Kenshin had just arrived in the Firmament Mainland.
Although he had killed General Nan Feng and ten thousand troops in the first battle, which had greatly increased his reputation, his foundation was still weak.
Currently, he had only subdued the Fantasy Sun Sect and did not have any other forces to support him.
They suggested to the Celestial King that they must use this opportunity to besiege Kenshin and the Fantasy Sun Sect.
They must nip the crisis in the bud before Kenshin's forces were formed. Only then would they have a chance of survival.
If they waited for Kenshin to subdue the various ancient clans and top forces, and when he had more and more elite soldiers under his command, they would definitely lose!
Logically speaking, these young generals' ideas were not wrong. Their suggestions were reasonable and had the conditions to be implemented.
How could the Celestial King not understand this logic and had not thought of such a plan?
However, the biggest problem with this proposal was that it was too radical and too risky!
This was equivalent to the Celestial King using all his forces to fight Kenshin as soon as Kenshin appeared in the Firmament Mainland.
This battle would determine victory and defeat, as well as life and death.
Although the Celestial King's side had an absolute advantage and had a high chance of winning.
However, their opponent was Kenshin, a guy who was good at creating miracles and was unfathomably powerful.
The Celestial King had no confidence that he could kill Kenshin in a decisive battle.
If he used all his forces and only eradicated the Fantasy Sun Sect, but failed to kill Kenshin, or let Kenshin escape … the consequences would be unimaginable!
What if Kenshin did not fight him head-on, but used his super strength to assassinate his generals and experts one by one?
Then he could only hide in Heaven Capital, and the entire Firmament Mainland would fall into chaos and collapse!
When the Celestial King told the young generals this reason, they all fell silent.
There were still some who did not give up and continued to persuade him that they did not need to go all out. They could send half of their forces to besiege Kenshin and the Fantasy Sun Sect, and leave the other half to guard Heaven Capital.
This proposal immediately caused many generals to roll their eyes.
The Celestial King was so angry that he sneered and said with a dark face, "Even if we use all our forces, we may not be able to kill Kenshin, let alone half of our forces?"
