"In particular, Jianchen. Yaxi Lian likes extremely talented and outstanding geniuses. If Yaxi Lian learns about your deeds, she'll definitely pay special attention to you. As a result, you need to be careful of this person," the divine king warned Jianchen sternly.
"Thank you for your warning, your majesty. I will be careful," Jianchen apologised. He was extremely stern.
He did not believe that the divine king was lying. If the commander of the seventh army really did set his eyes on him, it would definitely be a huge problem for him.
This was because the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian only possessed two Divine King experts. The three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion were all late Divine King experts. Apart from the divine king, who Jianchen was unable to see through, Jianchen could vaguely sense the Grand Imperial Protector.
Even though the Grand Imperial Protector was also a Divine King, he was not the opponent of any of the commanders of the three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion.
The divine king continued, "Every single army of the Heavenly Demon Religion has a fixed number of a hundred thousand people. However, any one of the nine armies can easily wipe out an army of tens of millions of our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian."
A mere hundred thousand people could easily wipe out an army of tens of millions. This was definitely a shocking matter.
Many of the Overgods present became extremely stern when they heard that. Even though they already knew about the strength of the nine armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion, they still struggled to remain calm whenever they heard someone mention them.
"Your majesty, the three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion are attacking our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. We won't be able to fend them off at all," an Overgod said sorrowfully.
A few of the people present were already thinking about retreating. Once the meeting ended, they would secretly evacuate with their clans. They would give up on everything here and leave the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
The divine king said calmly, "The invasion of the Heavenly Demon Religion is indeed a difficult battle for our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, but it's only a difficult battle. It's definitely not a battle of destruction. The Heavenly Demon Religion can't destroy our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian because the ancient empires have already sent reinforcements. They're on their way. Even the ruler of the southern region, the Blood Sun Empire, is paying attention to the situation here at all times. The destruction of the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons is already the bottom line of the Heavenly Demon Religion. It's impossible for them to allow the Heavenly Demon Religion to continue acting so fearlessly.
"What? The empires have already sent reinforcements?"
"The Blood Sun Empire is also paying attention? Your majesty, is that true? Will the Blood Sun Empire send reinforcements to assist us? "
"I never thought that the Blood Sun Empire would be so relaxed about this matter. If they interfere, the threat of the Heavenly Demon Religion will be eliminated immediately."
"If the Blood Sun Empire sends reinforcements, we can launch a counterattack on the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Religion and uproot the Heavenly Demon Religion."
.....
All the Overgods were overjoyed. Without a doubt, the divine king's words were great news to them. They had seen a ray of hope in the darkness.
In particular, the Blood Sun Empire excited them. They were the rulers of the southern region of the Cloud Plane. They were so powerful that the ancient empires could not compare to them at all.
Before the Blood Sun Empire, even ancient empires like the Heavenly Moon Empire had to bow their heads.
The Heavenly Moon Empire was only an ancient empire. There were six of them in the entire southern region, while the Blood Sun Empire was known as an eternal empire. They were the only eternal empire in the southern region.
Only Jianchen's face did not change at all among them. He was still stern, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
He knew that even if the empires sent reinforcements, they would only be able to protect the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian at most. As for launching a counterattack on the Heavenly Demon Religion or uprooting the Heavenly Demon Religion, that was impossible.
Let alone the eternal Blood Sun Empire in the southern region, even the so-called eternal Tian Empire that had existed for countless years in the central region did not have the courage to do that.
This was because he had learnt some secret information from the Divine King Tai Dou who followed Tong Tian. Probably even many Divine Kings had never heard of the information before.
The Heavenly Demon Religion was not terrifying by itself. There were many organisations that could destroy the Heavenly Demon Religion on the Cloud Plane. However, the great elder behind the Heavenly Demon Religion was enough to make even the peak clans on the Cloud Plane fear him.
At this moment, Jianchen stood up and clasped his hands, "Your majesty, are there no other Divine King Realm experts among the three armies that are attacking our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian apart from the commanders?"
Jianchen was indeed very doubtful. The commanders of the three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion were all late Divine King Realm experts. Logically speaking, there should be some early Divine King Realm experts or mid Divine King Realm experts as their assistants.
In the armies of many places, marshals had their own left and right hands, while commanders had their own vice-commanders. Did the Empyrean Demon Cult not have a vice-commander or something like that in their nine powerful armies?
"Indeed, there's only a single Divine King Realm expert in each of the nine armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion, and they're all late Divine King Realm experts." The divine king sank into his thoughts and said slowly, "According to my understanding of the Heavenly Demon Religion, the Heavenly Demon Religion also has a Hall of Protectors apart from the nine armies. Once an Overgod of the nine armies breaks through to Divine King Realm, they will immediately leave the army and enter the Hall of Protectors as a protector. At the same time, every single protector is a candidate for the commander of the nine armies."
"Once a commander dies in battle, the new commander will be chosen from the protectors."
"Your majesty, may I ask just how many protectors there are in the Hall of Protectors?" Bing Lou asked from the Yubing clan of the Frigid Snow province.
He no longer seemed as old as before. A faint, red light appeared on his face.
Clearly, Bing Lou's strength had increased by quite a lot in the past few years. He had reached mid Overgod now.
This time, the divine king fell into a very long period of silence. Only after quite a while did he sigh gently, "Probably even the experts of the empires won't be able to answer that question. However, you don't have to worry about that. All you need to know is that the Heavenly Demon Religion can't take down our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. I only need you to use your full strength when the battle begins. Don't let the people from the other empires look down on us. "
"I've said everything that needs to be said. You can all go and make arrangements. Prepare for battle." The divine king waved his hand and ended the meeting.
After the meeting, everyone, including Jianchen, thought about the Heavenly Demon Religion's Hall of Protectors. Their faces changed constantly.
From the divine king's expression, he clearly knew a little about the Hall of Protectors. Otherwise, he would not have remained silent for so long.
"It looks like the Heavenly Demon Religion should have quite a few protectors in the Hall of Protectors," many Overgods reached this conclusion, and they all became extremely stern.
"Even the protectors have formed a hall. Just how many Divine King experts are there in the Heavenly Demon Religion?" Jianchen guessed inside as well. He was shocked.
From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned the matter of Jianchen killing the three Overgods of the Heavenly Demon Religion. Even Yang Kai, who hated Jianchen, did not mention it.
This was because all of them knew that the attack of the three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion on the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian had nothing to do with the three Overgods. Let alone the fact that three Overgods were not worth the Heavenly Demon Religion going to such great lengths and directly mobilising the three armies. Moreover, they had received the latest news that the Heavenly Demon Religion had not only mobilised the seventh, eighth, and ninth armies. The other six armies had all been mobilised.
