"Patriarch, may I ask which organisation has attacked our Pingtian Empire? They've clearly declared war on us. The three fortresses of our Pingtian Empire have been breached, and several million soldiers have died in battle, "said the emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng. His face was filled with sorrow.
The deaths of several million soldiers was an extremely great loss to the Pingtian Empire. It would directly affect the military strength of the empire.
After all, the Pingtian Empire had risen from a tiny divine kingdom to an empire in far too short a time. They could not be compared to the ancient empires that had existed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
As a matter of fact, over seventy percent of the empire's military strength had been gathered in the four fortresses. Now that they had lost three fortresses all of a sudden, the Pingtian Empire would suffer heavy losses.
Xi Yu, who usually managed the affairs of the Tianyuan family, said coldly, "In order to construct the eastern, western, and southern fortresses, our Tianyuan family has spent an extremely great amount of resources. Now that the three fortresses have been destroyed, it's an extremely great loss. Including the soldiers who died in battle, there are several million as well. This is a debt of blood. A debt of blood needs to be repaid with blood."
"A few months ago, I sent a thousand brothers of the Sword God Army to the eastern fortress so that they could go out and train at any time. Now, all of them have died. We can't just let this matter slide," Nubis said coldly from his seat. His voice was filled with heavy killing intent.
The Sword God Army was the most elite army of the Tianyuan family. They only had ten thousand people in total, and they were all Godhood cultivators. Now that they had lost a tenth of them, Nubis felt pained.
"Naturally, a debt of blood needs to be repaid with their blood. Even if they're one of the two great rulers of the Cloud Plane, the Four Symbols Alliance, I, Jianchen, will make them regret this." Jianchen sat on the patriarch's throne as he stared in the direction of the Four Symbols Alliance with endless coldness in his eyes.
His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the endless space and see where the Four Symbols Alliance was located.
However, when the upper echelon of the Tianyuan family heard that it was the Four Symbols Alliance, all of their expressions changed. Even the people who had been yelling about revenge earlier revealed extremely ugly expressions.
"It's actually the Four Symbols Alliance." Nubis said through gritted teeth. His face was extremely sunken, "The Four Symbols Alliance is far too shameless. When Ming Dong was here, they were as obedient as a child, bowing and scraping. They did whatever we told them to do. They even said they wanted to become eternal friends with our Tianyuan family. Now that Ming Dong has left, they've directly turned against us and begun attacking our Pingtian Empire."
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" The enemy was the Four Symbols Alliance, one of the overlords of the Cloud Plane. What should Xi Yu do?
She knew extremely well just how powerful the Tianyuan family was. Without Ming Dong, the Tianyuan family would not be able to fend off the Four Symbols Alliance at all.
"Just do as I said before. Blood for blood, senior Xu!" Jianchen said coldly before calling for Xu Ran. His voice directly passed through the formations and reached where Xu Ran cultivated.
In the next moment, Xu Ran appeared in the discussion hall of the Tianyuan family.
She said nothing. With her cultivation as a Chaotic Prime, nothing could be hidden from her. She knew even more than Jianchen about the attack on the Pingtian Empire.
She even knew that the three fortresses had been destroyed instantly by three Chaotic Primes.
The fortresses of the Pingtian Empire were extremely tough, reinforced by various powerful formations. The Divine King could not get through them at all. Even if Infinite Primes took action, they would be able to last for two or three days. Only Chaotic Primes could get through them instantly.
"Senior Xu, please come with me. We're going to kill people," Jianchen said to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran nodded slightly and said, "There are a total of five Chaotic Primes. Three of them are at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, two are at the Fourth Heavenly Layer, and there are sixteen Infinite Primes. Right now, three Chaotic Primes are gathered at the eastern fortress, one in the western fortress, and one in the southern fortress. They've brought a few Infinite Primes and a large army. They're currently approaching the Pingtian Empire from three different directions."
Xu Ran paused when she reached there. She said, "The Chaotic Prime at the southern fortress is the weakest. He's just reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Who do you want to kill first?"
"They've mobilised five Chaotic Primes all of a sudden. The Four Symbols Alliance really thinks highly of the Pingtian Empire." Jianchen sneered. His voice was frigid, "Naturally, I'll kill the weakest one first. The Pingtian Empire has lost several million soldiers in battle, so I'll use one of their Chaotic Primes to pay tribute to their fallen soldiers."
"Patriarch, this is a matter of great importance. You cannot act recklessly," a skinny old man stood up and clasped his fist towards Jianchen sternly.
He was protector Qi. His cultivation was the same as protector Xue's. They were both Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. Out of all the protectors in the Tianyuan family, only he and protector Xue were late Infinite Primes.
Seeing Jianchen look over, protector Qi explained in a hurry, "Patriarch, the Four Symbols Alliance is the ruler of the Cloud Plane. They're extremely powerful. Aside from Chaotic Primes, they even have Grand Primes. I believe that we shouldn't come into conflict with the Four Symbols Alliance. After all, young master Ming isn't here. Once we anger the Four Symbols Alliance and they send out Grand Primes, the consequences will be even more severe." Protector Qi's eyes were clearly filled with some fear. He feared the Four Symbols Alliance.
"Grand Primes …" Heavy killing intent flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He said coldly, "It's fine if they don't send out Grand Primes, but once they do, I can only make the Four Symbols Alliance lose one or two Grand Primes."
Jianchen's words immediately stunned protector Qi.
Jianchen and Xu Ran left the discussion hall. However, they did not leave the Tianyuan family. Instead, they arrived in the forbidden grounds of the Tianyuan family.
The forbidden grounds were protected by layers of formations that could block out the senses of the soul.
"Senior Xu, check where the Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime is in the southern fortress," Jianchen took out a detailed map of the Pingtian Empire and laid it out before Xu Ran.
Although the senses of his soul could envelop the entire Pingtian Empire, he was unable to discover Chaotic Primes. As a result, he needed Xu Ran's help to pinpoint their exact location.
Xu Ran immediately pointed at the map and marked the Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime's location.
Jianchen memorised the location and stowed the map away with a wave of his hand. He said sternly, "Senior Xu, I'll directly teleport over with the Laws of Space. Once we arrive, we'll immediately strike with our full strength. We have to kill one of them in the shortest amount of time possible. I want them to pay for their actions."
"We only have five seconds. After that, the other four Chaotic Primes will rush over. Although I can keep them busy when the five of them gather, it'll be very difficult to kill them. If we waste too much time, the Four Symbols Alliance will send reinforcements at any time. As a result, we need to kill this person in five seconds. However, without the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation, it's basically impossible for me to kill a Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime in five seconds. I need you to use the secret technique from last time, "said Xu Ran.
