Sky-Rending knew his own limitations.
The Beast Tribes under his and Yan Li's command were too weak to be mentioned in the same breath as the two God Palaces.
If the Kongming Temple's experts were to lead an army to attack Li Capital, the beast race would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
However, Sky-Rending was not overly worried.
The entire unknown land was the beast race's territory. It was sufficiently vast and vast.
So what if the Kongming Temple's army managed to occupy Li Capital?
Could it be that the Kongming Temple was interested in this primordial forest and wanted to build a city here?
Sky-Rending and Yan Li could escape with their people and hide in a faraway place. They would not engage in battle with the Kongming Temple's army.
When that happened, the Kongming Temple's army could only return empty-handed.
Hence, Sky-Rending was not afraid of the Kongming Temple's invasion.
It was only pondering. The Kongming Temple had never thought much of the beast race, so why would they suddenly attack Li Capital?
How did the Kongming Temple know of Li Capital's existence and accurately locate its location?
With this in mind, Sky-Rending finally understood.
"Damn it! I was too benevolent after all. I let those Desolate race Godly Monarchs leave after a hundred years of slavery.
It must be those darn slaves who tipped off the Kongming Temple!
If I knew this would happen, I would have listened to Yan Li and not let them live, or never let them go! "
Ji Tianxing originally wanted to be frank and tell Sky-Rending the truth. The Kongming Temple's experts had chased him all the way to Li Capital.
However, Sky-Rending had said such a thing.
Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment before he explained, "Sky-Rending, the reason you mentioned obviously exists. If not, the Kongming Temple's experts would not have found this place.
But what This Emperor wants to say is that the Kongming Temple's experts are here for This Emperor. "
Lie Tian wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he smiled. "I knew it. I've long guessed that you have a grudge against the Kongming Temple. Perhaps you met me because you were escaping from their pursuit …"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked: "I'll be frank with you and tell you the reason. It was me who brought the disaster of war to Li Du. Aren't you angry?"
Lie Tian curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "What do I have to be angry about? The beasts and the Kongming Temple had always been enemies!
Even if you didn't appear, there will be a day when we will go to war with Kongming Temple.
What's more, you've helped us so much and built two defensive formations for Li City.
I can't thank you enough, so why would I blame you? "
At this point, Sky-Splitter patted Ji Tianxing's shoulder and said in a heroic manner, "Long Tian, you think highly of us beasts. As long as you are willing, we will be your allies.
Didn't you insist that we were working together?
Now, we have officially formed an alliance to resist the Kongming Temple together! "
The Desolate race's discrimination and prejudice against the beasts was innate and deep-rooted. There was no way for both sides to reconcile, so they could only be enemies.
And Ji Tianxing did not have any prejudice against the beasts. There was no grudge between the two, so he was the best choice for an ally.
On this point, Lie Tian knew it very well.
"If you can think that way, This Emperor is relieved." Ji Tianxing could tell that Lie Tian's words came from the bottom of his heart. It wasn't a lie, so he revealed a gratified smile.
Lie Tian did not waste any more time as he hurriedly asked, "Since the Kongming Temple's army is here, I won't be in reclusion. I'll find Yan Li in a while and explain the situation to him.
I'll immediately give the order for all the citizens of Li City to be prepared for battle.
If our numbers are insufficient, I'll get the various Territorial Lords to send more citizens as reinforcements! "
The beasts had an innate passion for killing and battle, so they were not afraid.
Just thinking of the impending battle with the Kongming Temple's Desolate race, Lie Tian was even looking forward to it.
Ji Tianxing shook his head and advised, "Lie Tian, this battle is no trifling matter. Don't let your guard down.
The Kongming Temple is very determined. It is very likely that they have mobilized a few Temple Lords.
We should focus on defense and figure out the enemy's numbers and plans first.
A few hours ago, This Emperor had already used a mystical mystic technique to probe the surrounding two hundred thousand miles. There was no sign of the Kongming Temple's army.
However, This Emperor has a feeling that they are nearby, spying on us from the shadows. "
Lie Tian also realized the seriousness of the matter as he asked in a deep voice, "Why don't I send elite scouts out to investigate the situation?"
Ji Tianxing considered for a moment and said, "The Kongming Temple's experts might be secretly monitoring Li City. Once you send scouts out, they will definitely discover them.
We can only bide our time and pretend that we have not sensed the danger.
You have to send orders to the surrounding citizens to quietly approach Li City and monitor the surrounding five hundred thousand miles. "
Within five hundred thousand miles of Li City, there were at least ten thousand divine beasts and ferocious beasts. Furthermore, they were all quite powerful.
However, when Ji Tianxing preached the Dao, half of the beasts had rushed to Li City to listen to the preaching.
Now, there were still a few thousand divine beasts and ferocious beasts outside, which should be of some use.
Lie Tian considered for a moment and felt that it was feasible. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. What other plans do you have?"
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "Not for the time being. Tell all the citizens that the preaching of the Dao will be suspended for a period of time. Let them focus on cultivating and preparing for battle."
Following that, the two of them split up and began taking action.
Ji Tianxing returned to his room in the Divine Palace and conjured the Nine Heavens Ten Absolutes Pagoda. He entered the distorted space-time to recover his divine power.
Lie Tian first went to awaken Yan Li, who had just begun her closed-door cultivation. Then, he issued various orders and arranged various affairs.
Not long after, the news of the Kongming Temple's army's attack spread throughout Li City.
The previously cheerful and lively atmosphere immediately became solemn and austere.
Tens of thousands of beasts smelled the scent of war and slaughter. They quickly entered a state of preparation for battle.
It couldn't be helped. Bloodthirsty and warlike were the nature of the beasts.
Even after they had awakened their spiritual intelligence, they were controlled and educated. They wouldn't kill the innocent like before.
However, when a strong enemy came to their doorstep, there was no need to boost their morale. All the beasts were united against a common enemy and joined the battle without regard for their own safety.
This was the nature of the beasts. It was also a trait that many other races envied.
Two hours later, the entire Li City became much quieter.
Even the many beasts' Divine Kings who lingered outside Ji Tianxing's Divine Palace left one after another.
Tens of thousands of beasts returned to their respective territories and consciously formed teams. They began to cultivate and conserve their energy.
The pill refinement and weapon refinement workshops also sped up their progress. They spared no expense in producing divine pills, weapons, and armor.
The eighteen territories' leaders and many generals also began to get busy. They used what they had learned before to formulate battle tactics for the warriors.
In particular, the beasts decided to try out the combined battle formation that Ji Tianxing had taught them.
