Half a month later, it was the appointed time to attack Wujue Heaven. Zhang Yan got out of the spiritual boat and brought He Xianyin to Cloud 6 through the world ring. Green Jade Palace had prepared a realm crossing flying boat that was as big as Cloud 6.
Seeing the two of them, the Daoist in charge invited them to the spiritual boat.
Elder Peng came out to greet them personally. Behind him, there were two Mortal Transformation Cultivators.
After greeting each other, Zhang Yan found out that one of them had the surname Xu and the other had the surname Fan. They were originally cultivators of Wujue Heaven and were in charge of a sect. When Yang Yougong and the others attacked, they were the ones who held the sect until the end. They only retreated after Green Jade Palace gave the order. In this plan, the two of them would be the vanguard.
It turned out that ever since the Heavenly Lord was gone, there were only four Mortal Shedding True Essence cultivators left in Wu Jue Heaven. Their cultivation bases were all in the First Degree Realm. Other than these two, the other two were on Distant Enlightenment Heaven's side.
Obviously, Xu and Fan had heard of Zhang Yan's ability. When they talked to him, they were very respectful.
Zhang Yan followed Elder Peng into the spiritual boat and was given a temporary cave abode. The spiritual opportunity flourished here, and there were also spiritual mountains and rivers. It was no different from the grotto-heavens outside.
There was a large amount of Purple Clear Medicine prepared here. However, to him, he could cultivate as long as he had Mystic Stones. Moreover, as his vitality grew, these medicines became less useful to him. Even during battles, they would not be of much help. Therefore, he gave some of them to He Xianyin.
However, after half a day, the Heavenly Masters arrived one after another. In order to win this battle, they brought most of the combat power from their respective Void Realms.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Elder Peng did not delay any longer. He called everyone to the main hall and then gave the order to go to Wujue Heaven. In a flash, the spiritual boat passed through the Myriad Empty World Ring.
Just like when they attacked Xuanhong Heaven, the spiritual boat first landed in a half-realm outside of Wujue Heaven. Of course, they had to do so because they were blocked by the restriction array. This time, they did it on purpose so that their whereabouts wouldn't be exposed.
Elder Peng called Elder Xu and Elder Fan over and said, "I will send three elders to assist the two of you in attacking this world. If the master of the Outer World Heaven comes to help, I and my fellow daoists will enter this world in time to stop him. Do the two of you have anything else to say?"
Xu and Fan, two people shook their heads, saying that there was nothing. They had already done what they had to do, and they were fully prepared. The only thing they had to worry about was suddenly bumping into Cultivator Du Jue. Fortunately, they had the Dharma artifacts given to them by the Green Jade Palace. As long as they were careful, they could still escape in time.
Elder Peng nodded and solemnly bowed. "Then I shall leave it to the two of you."
The two of them hurriedly returned the greeting.
Just at this moment, Zhang Yan said, "Fellow daoists, take these two talismans with you. They can help you when you need them." He flicked his fingers, and two golden lights flew out.
Xu and Fan caught them. They could feel that the talismans contained a shocking aura and knew that they were not ordinary items. They quickly thanked Zhang Yan and carefully put them away. Then, they took a few steps back and bowed again. They led the cultivators under them and the three elders of the Green Jade Palace out of the spiritual boat and into the Myriad Empty World Ring.
The Myriad Empty World Ring was the work of a True Yang Grand Cultivator. Even Yang Yougong and the others could not destroy it. To prevent the Green Jade Palace from using it to attack, they could only set up restrictions in the Inner World Ring.
Through the information from his spies, Elder Peng already knew that there was no Heaven Master guarding this place. There was not even a clone.
Zhu Zhen had previously judged this news and felt that it was trustworthy.
Yang Yougong and the other Heaven Masters had to protect their own world first. There was no reason for them to go and guard another world. Also, if cultivator Du Jue really invaded, a single clone would not be able to stop him. They would just be wasting their essence energy and magic power for nothing. It was better not to do so.
As for everyone leaving their clones in Wujue Heaven, this seemed like a good idea. However, if they really did this, there would be no room for negotiation. This was because wherever cultivator Du Jue's first clone landed would be where his subsequent clones would land as well. It would be very easy for others to set up traps. Anyone with a bit of foresight would not make this choice.
It had only been a month since the Green Jade Palace came up with the plan and launched the surprise attack. Elder Peng's actions were very fast, so Jueyuan Heaven's side still had no idea about the upcoming attack. However, this did not mean that they were not prepared. In fact, aside from the fact that cultivator Du Jue was not guarding, they had already done everything they could.
The moment Xu, Fan, and the others passed through the World Ring, they only felt their bodies sway, and they had already entered Wu Jue Tian. In the next moment, the densely packed restrictions around them flashed. It was obvious that the formation that was set up here had moved. However, they had already expected this, so they took out their magic treasures and talismans to offset the formation qi that was coming from all directions.
With this obstruction, they had a chance to catch their breath. Daoist Xu immediately raised his sleeve and tossed a golden needle into the air. The needle paused in the air, and with a point of the needle, it pierced through the air in a certain direction. He was energized and immediately transmitted a message in his spirit, "The exit of the array door is here. Hurry up and follow."
In reality, without waiting for his instructions, rays of conveyance light had already soared from the array and chased after the golden light. Along the way, the five of them continuously relied on the Talisman's magic treasures to block the restrictions. Unless they had no other choice, they would only sacrifice the Root Fruit and try to avoid it.
The reason why they did this was that there would definitely be someone guarding this place. If they were to predict the location of the Root Fruit, even if they managed to get out successfully, they would lose half of their advantage.
The Daoist guarding the array on Wujue Heaven's side was surnamed Gao. He was originally a cultivator of Huo An Heaven. At this moment, he was standing on the array altar with a jade tablet in his hand. He was looking at the movements in the array solemnly.
At this moment, a disciple came to report, "Shangzhen, I have already reported the attack as per your orders."
Daoist Gao said calmly, "Well done. Go and take care of the people below. Hold on for a while longer. Reinforcements will arrive soon. This time, we must make sure that this group of people stays."
He looked relaxed, but he was secretly complaining. This was because he could tell that the Green Jade Palace had come prepared this time. They would not just send these few people to their deaths. Perhaps there were many powerful people waiting for an opportunity outside. If this guess was true, then it was not something that he could resist. The only thing he could do now was to delay as much as possible.
Thanks to Daoist Gao's timely report, Yang Yougong received the news the moment the restriction on Wujue Heaven was broken. He acutely felt that his worries might become reality.
He thought to himself, 'Peng Xinhu is really decisive. He attacked so quickly. Wujue Heaven …'
He sighed. They could not give up on Wujue Heaven. This was a realm that they had taken down with great difficulty. If they lost this place, not only would their previous efforts be in vain, but they would also show others their weakness.
One had to know that until now, there were still a few realms watching from the sidelines. Among them, there was a Heavenly Master who was a great cultivator who had passed through the four tribulations of Wujue Heaven. His skills were not inferior to his. If these people realized that they might lose, they would most likely choose to hit them when they were down.
He summoned a trusted disciple and said, "Go and tell Junior Brother Luo that Wujue Heaven is under attack. Let him bring people to help. But remember, if you see a powerful enemy, don't fight with your life. You can retreat first."
The disciple agreed and went to pass on the order.
Yang Yougong stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the table. He stretched out his hand and pressed the dial in front of him. A ray of spiritual light flew out from the dial. A moment later, Lord Zhong Ling appeared and said lazily, "Sect Leader Yang, why are you looking for me?"
Yang Yougong said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Zhongling, Green Jade Palace is attacking Wujue Heaven. They came back with bad intentions. I suspect that they must have roped in more people in the past few years."
Lord Zhongling scoffed and said, "Then what do you want, Sect Master Yang?"
Yang Yougong said, "There might have been some misunderstandings between our two sects before, but this is just a small matter. Now that I am going to help the Wu Jue Heaven, I hope that Sect Master Zhongling can release the restraints of the world pass and let me pass smoothly."
The boundary pass that led to Wujue Heaven could not be crossed. This was not because of the people who built it, but because Lord Zhongling still held a grudge against them for spreading the news. Hence, he was not willing to let them go.
Seeing that Lord Zhongling did not speak, Yang Yougong continued, "Sect Leader Zhongling, you should understand that without us, the Jindi Sect would not be able to fight against the Green Jade Palace alone. Right now, we are bound together. If there is any misunderstanding, I am willing to pay a personal visit to apologize after this battle."
Seeing that Yang Yougong was humble and sincere, Lord Zhongling was finally satisfied. He said, "Sect Master Yang, feel free to help. There won't be any obstacles along the way."
Yang Yougong thanked him and said, "But for this battle, I might need Sect Master Zhongling's help."
Lord Zhongling waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Yang. Just as you said, the Jindi Sect alone will not be able to suppress the Green Jade Palace. If they really attack us, I will take action when necessary."
Yang Yougong nodded. He was not afraid of breaking his promise. After all, both parties had signed a contract. After bidding farewell, he withdrew his mana and said, "Come in."
A disciple hurried in and reported, "Sect Master, Zhu Zhu, Yu An, and Huo An, the four Heaven Lords have arrived."
After Yang Yougong heard the news, he stood still in the hall as if he was waiting for something. After a while, another disciple came in and reported, "Sect Master, Wielding Heaven Lord has also arrived."
After Yang Yougong heard the news, his eyes lit up. He said, "Good, good." Then, he walked out of the formation door and went straight to the main hall. At this moment, the five Heaven Lords were already waiting there.
He stood on the stairs and said, "Fellow Daoists, we can't afford to lose Wu Jue Heaven. I suspect that Green Jade Palace will attack with all their strength this time. If that's the case, we'll have to fight them in advance. For this reason, I've come to an agreement with the Zhongling Sect Master of the Jinwu Sect. He'll help us when necessary." His gaze swept across the few of them. "To ensure that Wu Jue Heaven is not lost, if you have no questions, we'll leave now."
The five Heaven Lords knew that if things were as Yang Yougong predicted, this battle was inevitable. However, they were quite confident about it. After all, they were on the defensive this time. They had made many arrangements in Wujue Heaven over the past few years and had the geographical advantage. They did not need to completely destroy the enemy in this battle. As long as they could think of a way to repel them, it would be considered a victory.
