Zhang Yan sat in the Li Wang Mountain and observed the changes in the mortal world. At this moment, he saw that the three families, including the Li Wang Mountain, had entered the battlefield and all the chess pieces were placed on the board. He knew that if he handled this situation well, he would be able to win in advance.
With a single thought, he concealed all the signs of the Heavenly Secrets that were related to the Heavenly Secrets.
At almost the same time, he felt that there was a Weili in the sky that was cooperating with him. He knew that the two Grand Exalts of Quan Dao had made their move. With this, it was unlikely that De Dao would be able to find a way out with Heaven's Secrets.
His gaze landed on the Tai Xing Region. It all depended on whether the Eleventh Prince and the Third Prince could grasp this rare opportunity.
With the Second Prince gone, De Dao became an important chess piece. However, as an orthodox sect that was recognized by the Heavenly Court, although it might not collapse, the situation would undoubtedly be much more open.
The changes in Heaven's Secrets were also noticed by the Purple Fault Mountain. Without a doubt, only the Li Wang Mountain and Quan Dao could do this. It might even be a conspiracy between the two families.
The three Grand Exalts of De Dao also felt the danger. The disciple's life was undoubtedly the most important. In order to ensure that the disciple could overcome this crisis, the three of them sent several disciples with the surname 'Zhi' down the mountain to protect him.
However, at the same time, Quan Dao was also prepared to send more people down to the lower realm.
However, both sides stopped there and did not make any further moves. This was because both sides knew that other than increasing the number of disciples facing each other, it would not really change anything.
In the past, Quan Dao was inferior to De Dao and could only be suppressed. Now, with the addition of the Li Wang Mountain, things were different. At most, both sides could restrain each other.
The key was still to see the success or failure of the princes.
At this moment, in the Tai Xing Region, after the Eleventh Prince took over the Chen Tai City, he was firmly rooted there.
Although the Second Imperial Prince had recruited the True Immortals' private soldiers, he still had the Eleventh Imperial Prince, Chengguang and Xiuguang, who were both True Immortals. There was no way he could shake the Eleventh Imperial Prince. After a few failed attempts at counterattacking, and seeing that the Third Imperial Prince had taken over the Fragrant Orchid County, he was afraid that the Third Imperial Prince and Third Imperial Prince would be able to take advantage of the situation. Thus, he could only choose to withdraw his forces into the palace, hoping that they would be able to defend this last piece of land.
When the Second Prince saw that there were no more obstacles in front of him, he was not greedy and did not attack the other three counties. He only sent a few Qi Practitioners and a few thousand men to guard the mountain passes that they had to pass through. Then, he led his troops and successfully advanced to the Little Chengyang Palace in the Xing Tai Continent.
At this moment, the Third Prince, Hao Chang, seemed to have a tacit understanding with him. He led his troops to the east and west respectively, sandwiching the Chengyang Palace in the middle. Now, the two families had a tacit understanding that there would not be any conflict before the Second Prince was dealt with.
This brought a great deal of pressure to the Second Imperial Prince, Hao Jiang. Even though the True Immortal De Dao had comforted him and said that even if he was in danger, he could bring him away, he was still terrified.
Fortunately, he knew how to control himself and understood that he could only rely on the people around him at this time. Not only did he not reprimand or punish them, he even distributed a large sum of money to them as rewards. The situation in the city also became much more stable because of his actions. This caused De Dao, Zhi Chang, and the other True Immortals to look up to him.
At this moment, outside the palace, the Eleventh Imperial Prince, Hao Neng, was standing on a high platform in the air, looking into the city. However, he realized that no matter how he looked, he could only see one side of the city wall. It was as if the higher he looked, the Chengyang Palace would change accordingly.
A subordinate said to him, "Your Highness, the Chengyang Palace is a strong city. It was first built by the Heavenly Mother, who sent the craftsmen of the Heavenly Court. It is very magical. Later, in order to worship the Heavenly Mother, the people of the Heavenly Mother expanded the city. I heard that three thousand practitioners were recruited and a True Immortal De Dao was hired to cast spells. Every brick and tile was blessed with mana. What Your Highness is seeing now was built at that time. The original palace was the residence of the Second Imperial Prince."
Hao Neng nodded, in order to have a clear understanding of the situation, he immediately ordered a few Qi Practitioners to test it out, and the result shocked him greatly. Be it the lightning strikes, the mountain torrents, or even the earthly fire, the palace remained unmoved.
Not only was the palace sturdy, but it was also compatible with the mana of the Dao of Virtue. Especially when there was a True Immortal De Dao guarding it, the whole city would become even more sturdy. Especially when the Second Imperial Prince had the seal given by the Heavenly Mother, which could suppress and weaken Dao techniques. It was an extremely difficult task to break through.
On the other side, the Third Imperial Prince, Hao Chang, was also facing the same problem. He said, "Before we came, the Daoists said that there is a way to break through the city. Can I see it now?"
A practitioner replied, "Your Highness, no matter how sturdy the city is, it will not be able to withstand our efforts. However, when we cast the spell, True Immortal De Dao will definitely come out to stop us. That might delay the battle, so I have to build an eye. Your Highness, why don't you inform the Eleventh Imperial Prince? If we work together, it will be much easier."
Hao Chang thought for a while and waved his hand. "There's no need for that. We can make the first move. With the Eleventh Imperial Prince's personality, he will definitely not sit and watch."
At this moment, a confidant came forward and whispered, "Your Highness, what if the Eleventh Imperial Prince really doesn't move?"
Hao Chang said calmly, "That's even better. If I expel the Second Imperial Prince, with my reputation, the throne will be mine. I have to thank the Eleventh Imperial Prince."
There was a Daoist standing beside him. He was a True Immortal of the Quan Dao Sect. His Daoist name was Yin Ming. At this moment, he stood up and bowed. "Third Imperial Prince, please allow I to break through the city."
Hao Chang's expression turned solemn. He raised his hand and bowed. "Thank you, Daoist."
Yin Ming replied, "It's fine." He raised his finger and drew something in the air. After a while, an imperial talisman appeared. He called for a disciple and said, "Send this talisman to Tian Zhong."
The disciple stepped on the clouds and held the imperial talisman in his hand. He opened it and waved it downwards. Immediately, a round of light shone down.
But at this moment, a spiritual light suddenly rose from the top of the Little Chengyang Palace. A talisman jumped out and emitted a white mist that blocked the golden light.
The two sides faced each other for a while. Suddenly, a sharp sword ray shot out from the west and slashed the spiritual light. The talisman shook and became unstable.
The disciple above saw this and became spirited. He used his mana to push the golden light forward.
The spiritual smoke talisman couldn't withstand the pressure from both sides and was gradually suppressed.
Inside the palace, Zhi Chang frowned. It was not easy to deal with a pincer attack from both sides. He called out, "Junior apprentice brother, please help me."
Zhi Sheng responded. The two of them used their mana at the same time. In a split second, the spiritual smoke rose up a few inches. But it was only a slight increase. After a few breaths, both sides increased their strength. It was obvious that there were more people attacking and they couldn't withstand it.
Zhi Chang thought for a while and said, "Junior apprentice brother, let's stop."
Zhi Sheng was surprised but he didn't insist. He withdrew his mana.
Without the support of the two, the talisman immediately weakened. It was suppressed to the top of the city wall, maintaining the last bit of spiritual light. But this was also exhausting the foundation of the city. The longer it lasted, the more damage it would cause to the Little Chengyang Palace.
Zhi Sheng was puzzled, "Just now, there are two more junior apprentice brothers here. Why don't senior apprentice brother ask them to help?"
Zhi Chang said with a heavy expression, "Forgotten Li Mountain and Quan Dao are working together. Even if we fight against them, we won't be able to win. If this drags on, it won't end well for us."
Zhi Sheng said, "Xing Tai Continent is the territory of the second prince. The eleventh prince and the third prince came from afar. If this drags on, won't it be beneficial for me?"
Zhi Chang shook his head, "Not so. The second prince may seem to have some foundation, but he has already taken out everything he has. On the other hand, the eleventh prince and the third prince still have some strength left. If this drags on, it will be disadvantageous for me."
Zhi Sheng said, "Then what does senior apprentice brother think we should do?
Zhi Chang said in a low voice, "This place looks indestructible but it is actually a dead end. Rather than being forced to retreat, it is better to escape as soon as possible."
Zhi Sheng thought about it and nodded.
After they reached an agreement, they immediately asked for the second prince.
Zhi Chang told him the reason why they had to leave and advised, "Time is of the essence. Your Highness, please don't hesitate. Please leave with us as soon as possible. That way, we can preserve our strength. After tidying up, we can come back and fight again."
Hao Ji's expression changed. He thought that he could rely on the sturdy city to hold on. He didn't expect Zhi Chang and Zhi Chang to want him to leave. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he knew that he couldn't do anything if he left. He gritted his teeth and bowed solemnly, "I'm counting on you two."
Zhi Chang was satisfied with Hao Ji's quick decision. He said, "This time, there shouldn't be too many people leaving. Your Highness should only bring along your trusted aides. The recruited soldiers can be dismissed first. This way, the eleventh prince and the second prince won't have any excuse to make things difficult for them. They can be recruited again in the future."
Hao Ji immediately agreed. He bade farewell to the two and left to make arrangements.
Because it was not an easy task to reconcile the interests of all parties, especially to appease the gods. After all, they would be of use in the future. Thus, it took him seven days and nights to arrange everything properly.
At this time, the Small Chengyang Palace was showing signs of breaking down. No matter how sturdy it was, under the attrition of many Loose Immortals and even Genuine Immortals, the restrictive power was being stripped away layer by layer. It would not be long before it was broken.
Seeing this, Hao Ji was glad that he made the decision early. Otherwise, even if he could leave, he would have to abandon his trusted aides. In that case, even if he retreated to another fief, without the help of the Heavenly Mother, he would not be able to do much.
He brought his subordinates to where Zhi Chang and the others were. He said, "Dear Taoists, I am ready. When do we leave?"
Zhi Chang calculated and saw that it was still the same as before. Heaven's design was still chaotic. He gave up and said, "Since Your Highness is ready, we will leave now. “
With a single thought, he brought Hao Ji and the rest into a ray of light. Then, together with the rest of the virtuous cultivators, they exerted their mana at the same time. With a loud bang, they left the Small Chengyang Palace. With his ability, he could have brought everyone to another place in an instant. However, when he tried, he was blocked by an invisible force. He knew that this place was covered by a magical treasure.
Zhi Chang had expected this, so he was calm. Just as he was about to leave this place, two rays of light flashed in front of him. Two Taoists stood in front of him. One of them smiled and said, "Dear Taoists, you are in such a hurry. Where are you going?"
