It was obvious that the Celestial King was responsible for the safety of the entire Firmament Land. He could not take the risk.
To be safe, he decided to strengthen the defense of Heaven Capital and wait for Kenshin's next move.
Even when he received reports from various sources that the Sword God was recruiting troops and buying horses, gathering subordinates everywhere to build his own forces, he could only ignore it.
Because he knew that even if he destroyed all the forces under Kenshin, as long as Kenshin was not killed, everything would be in vain.
The only way to defeat Kenshin was to kill Kenshin!
When the young generals heard the Celestial King's decision, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only swallow it and bow to show that they would follow the order.
Fortunately, the Celestial King was not someone who would swallow his anger.
The death of General Nan Feng and his ten thousand troops was a big blow to him. It was also a slap to his face by Kenshin, causing his reputation to fall.
Even though he did not dare to mobilize his forces to attack the Fantasy Sun Sect directly and start a decisive battle with Kenshin, he still decided to fight back.
Spies had heard that the leaders, masters, and cabinet masters of the other four forces were rushing to the Fantasy Sun Blessed Land to meet with Kenshin.
Obviously, the four forces, like the Fantasy Sun Sect, could not wait to join Kenshin.
Since that was the case, how could the Celestial King let them go?
He had to take advantage of the fact that the four leaders, masters, and cabinet masters were not around and send a large number of troops to attack the Fantasy Sun Blessed Land!
Therefore, the Celestial King chose eight powerful Heavenly Generals on the spot. Each of them led thirty Immortal Kings and nine thousand elite soldiers to attack the four forces.
Among the eight Heavenly Generals who were named, five of them were the young generals who made the suggestion just now.
They were depressed and thought that there was no war to fight and they could only stay in Heaven Capital.
Now that they suddenly received the Celestial King's order, they were full of joy and agreed without hesitation. They were very excited and full of expectations.
After bowing to the Celestial King and acknowledging his command, they left the Great Council Hall and went to prepare for battle.
Since it was a sneak attack, the eight God Generals had split into four groups. Naturally, they had to take the divine battleships and rush to the four factions.
From the moment they left Tiandu, they had to hide their whereabouts and news and quietly rush to their destination.
Even if they arrived at their destination, they couldn't directly launch an attack and forcefully break into the cave abodes of the various forces.
They also had to use some schemes and tricks according to the actual situation, trying their best to catch all the targets in one fell swoop without anyone noticing.
Even though this was a temporary order from the Celestial King, the eight Heavenly Generals had yet to come up with a plan.
However, it would still take them a few days to reach their destination, which was enough time for them to slowly come up with a plan.
…
A day later, the patriarch of the ancient clan closest to the Illusory Sun Sect arrived at Illusory Sun Blessed Land with two elders.
The bearded man who had rushed over in a hurry was the Clan Leader of the Li Clan, Li Yuan, a Lv 9 Divine King Realm expert.
The two elders who followed him to Illusory Sun Blessed Land were the Second Elder and the Third Elder. Their status and strength were not ordinary.
Li Yuan brought the two elders and rushed to meet Kenshin in such a hurry. It was enough to see his sincerity in pledging his loyalty.
When Li Yuan and the two elders entered Illusory Sun Blessed Land, they were personally received by the Illusory Sun Sect Master.
Li Yuan and the Illusory Sun Sect Master had known each other for ten thousand years and had a good relationship.
The two exchanged greetings for a while. Li Yuan didn't even take a sip of tea and directly stated his purpose of coming. He wanted to meet Kenshin as soon as possible.
The Illusory Sun Sect Master naturally understood his feelings. He also hoped that Li Yuan could represent the Li Clan and submit to Kenshin as soon as possible.
However, the Illusory Sun Sect Master had carefully studied Kenshin's deeds during this period.
Especially the process of Kenshin conquering the Boundless Heaven Continent and Reincarnation Island two years ago, he had carefully studied it.
With his meticulousness and caution, it wasn't difficult to find a pattern.
Whenever Kenshin conquered the leaders of several factions at the same time, he would never meet with one of them alone.
Kenshin would always wait until all the factions that he wanted to pledge his loyalty to arrived before meeting them together and carrying out the ceremony of swearing allegiance.
From this detail, the Illusory Sun Sect Master saw Kenshin's breadth of mind and fairness. He was deeply impressed.
At the same time, he also understood that this was one of Kenshin's charms.
Perhaps the leaders of many forces would admire and worship the Sword God even more because of this.
Thus, when Li Yuan mentioned that he wanted to meet Kenshin, the Illusory Sun Sect Master immediately became vigilant.
He definitely couldn't agree to Li Yuan's request. He immediately brought Li Yuan to meet Kenshin.
Kenshin most likely wouldn't meet Li Yuan and would have a bad impression of him.
Thus, the Illusory Sun Sect Master patiently persuaded Li Yuan to stay in Illusory Sun Blessed Land and wait patiently for a few days.
At the very least, it would be fairer for everyone to meet when the other three patriarchs, sect masters, and pavilion masters arrived.
Otherwise, if Li Yuan met Kenshin first, the other three leaders would definitely have a knot in their hearts even if they didn't say anything.
They might guess that Li Yuan had negotiated some conditions with Kenshin and asked for some benefits.
The Illusory Sun Sect Master used a more tactful tone to explain this to Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan was a boorish person who wasn't good at scheming.
He didn't listen to the Illusory Sun Sect Master's advice and felt it was very strange. He asked Illusory Sun Sect Master, "I came all the way here and have already arrived at Illusory Sun Blessed Land. You still want me to stay here and pay a visit to Lord Kenshin in a few days?
Lord Kenshin is clearly in your sect. Even if I shout, he'll be alerted … Aren't you wasting time?
Besides, we're all the same. We just want to swear allegiance to Lord Kenshin as soon as possible. When did we think about negotiating conditions or asking for benefits?
Those people on the Boundless Heaven Continent and Reincarnation Island who are loyal to Lord Kenshin, have they been treated badly? "
Li Yuan's words refuted the Illusory Sun Sect Master speechlessly.
In the end, the Illusory Sun Sect Master couldn't stand Li Yuan's coaxing and pestering. He was also worried that this brainless guy would really run to the sect and shout, disturbing Kenshin.
In that case, not only would Li Yuan be unlucky, but he would also be implicated.
In desperation, the Illusory Sun Sect Master could only calm Li Yuan down and say that this matter couldn't be reckless.
He asked Li Yuan to wait patiently for a while. He would personally ask Kenshin for instructions and see what Kenshin would say.
Since it was up to Kenshin to decide whether to meet or not, Li Yuan had nothing to say. He could only nod in agreement and sit in the main hall, drinking tea and waiting.
The Illusory Sun Sect Master walked out of the main hall with a wry smile and personally rushed to Kenshin's residence to report the situation.
This wasn't his original intention. It was all forced by that boorish Li Yuan.
He was already mentally prepared to be reprimanded by Kenshin or punished by Kenshin.
