Xi Chi naturally understood High God Yuan Hong's doubts. Even he didn't know what the Grand Emperor was planning to do.
However, this was the Grand Emperor's decree, so he couldn't raise his doubts.
"High God Yuan Hong, this is Young Emperor's country. He's a king of the Ning Nation," Xi Chi said.
"Even if Young Emperor used to be a king of the Ning Nation, what's the point of attacking the city now? We should look for Young Emperor or where the demon beasts are hiding. There's no aura of demon beasts in this country, so what's the point of us coming here?" High God Yuan Hong asked.
Qiu Feng glanced at High God Yuan Hong. He knew that many of the high gods had doubts, but they couldn't explain it. They could only do what the Grand Emperor wanted them to do. "High God Yuan Hong, we just need to listen to the Grand Emperor's decree."
"Then, may I ask the two divine generals, what happens after we attack the city?" High God Tan De asked.
The capital was filled with mortals, so they didn't need to waste any energy to attack the city. Furthermore, they knew very well that Young Emperor wasn't in the city. What could they do after entering the city?
Xi Chi thought for a while. "After we control the Ning Nation, Young Emperor might … appear soon."
"Do you mean to use the entire Ning Nation to threaten Young Emperor?" High God Yuan Hong asked solemnly.
How were they different from demon beasts? They had to threaten mortals to capture Young Emperor. They were high gods from the Nine Heavens, and in the eyes of mortals, they were there to protect the human continent and not to harm them.
"High God Yuan Hong, we'll do whatever the Grand Emperor wants us to do. If you have any objections, why don't you ask the Grand Emperor yourself?" Xi Chi said.
"Then, let me ask the two of you again. If the mortals resist, do we have to kill them when we attack the city?" High God Yuan Hong asked again.
Xi Chi felt that if he continued, more and more high gods would realize that something was wrong.
"After we control the Ning Kingdom, if High God Yuanhong has any objections, why don't you talk to the Grand Emperor directly?" Xi Chi said as he ordered the divine soldiers to attack the city.
Murong Ke stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of Xi Chi and the others. "Dear Gods, I don't care who ordered you to come to the human world. For so many years, we mortals have lived a peaceful and stable life. Even when the demon beasts appeared, your God Race has never helped us mortals, and you have never done anything for the human world. Today, if you want to destroy our place of survival, we mortals will not allow it. Even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we will defend our home!"
"This is the human world, not your Nine Heavens. It's not a place that you can destroy as you please!" Murong Ke's words were not only heard by Xi Chi and the others, but also by all the soldiers on the city wall. "If the Young Emperor you are talking about is King Qin of our Ning Kingdom, then I can tell you on behalf of all mortals that if you want to hurt him, we mortals will not agree. When we were being ravaged by the demon beasts, the Grand Emperor did not help us. It was the Young Emperor who protected our lives and our home. What have you done?"
"You guys have done nothing, but we have seen what the Young Emperor has done for us. Even if he is evil beyond redemption in the Nine Heavens, in the hearts of us mortals, he is our benefactor!"
"The Young Emperor is our god."
"Yes!" White Tiger nodded excitedly. The Grand Emperor had done nothing, but he hated his own son. It was ridiculous.
Xi Chi and Qiu Feng looked at each other. This mortal was too bold. Did he know that these words would reach the Grand Emperor's ears?
When High God Yuan Hong heard Murong Ke's words, he silently took a step back.
Although they weren't very clear about the feud between the Grand Emperor and the Young Emperor, they had heard about it.
However, this time, even the Queen Mother of the West was involved, so they had to think about it.
"Murong Ke, we are still willing to talk to you here, not discuss it with you. We also don't want to hurt anyone," Xi Chi said.
"Is that so?" Murong Ke sneered and asked, "Then why are you still surrounding us when you know that the Young Emperor is not in the Ning Kingdom and that there are no demon beasts there?"
Qiu Feng said to Xi Chi, "Cut the crap. I think Murong Ke is trying to stall for time. If we continue, we will attract the Queen Mother of the West and the Young Empress Consort."
If they attracted the Queen Mother of the West and the Young Imperial Concubine who were separated by a sea, it would not be easy for them to take down the Ning Kingdom.
"Attack the city!" Xi Chi ordered.
High God Yuan Hong and the other gods didn't move. They couldn't attack mortals.
"Xi Chi, this capital has a barrier and purple qi protecting it. It won't be easy for us to attack it," Qiu Feng said.
That meant they had to attack by force.
"Break the barrier first," Xi Chi said. Since the Young Emperor was not in the human world, his barrier would definitely be affected. If they attacked by force, they would definitely be able to enter.
Murong Ke had already ordered all the soldiers to get ready. There were all sorts of lightning and thunder in the sky. He knew that the Divine Generals and Divine Soldiers were attacking the barrier outside the capital.
White Tiger transformed into its original form and rushed out of the barrier to stop Xi Chi.
"Isn't that the Young Empress Consort's spirit beast?" High God Yuan Hong recognized White Tiger. Back then, the Young Empress Consort's white tiger was very eye-catching. Moreover, that spirit beast had injured Lu Wushuang.
"As expected. I didn't expect White Tiger to be here as well."
Xi Chi saw a crack appear in the barrier and immediately entered the capital.
When the soldiers on the city wall saw Xi Chi appear, they immediately raised their swords and rushed towards him.
A gust of cold wind swept the soldiers on the city wall. Many fell off the wall, dead or alive.
"How is this attacking the city? They are … trying to kill all of us," the general behind Murong Ke shouted.
Ye Chunnan strode over from the other side of the city wall. "Your Majesty, please return to the palace first. We are here."
"No, this time is different from any other time. Even if I return to the palace, I will still have to face these Divine Generals and Divine Soldiers." Murong Ke drew his sword from his waist. "We will hold on for as long as we can. Ye Zhen and the others will be here soon."
They were no match for the Divine Generals at all. After fighting for a long time, not even a single Divine Soldier was injured. On the other hand, half of the soldiers on the city wall had been killed or wounded.
This was the most tragic war Murong Ke had ever encountered in his life.
A war where the Divine Generals and Divine Soldiers were overwhelmingly defeated.
If they were evenly matched with the Divine Generals and Divine Soldiers, they would not have to sacrifice themselves like this.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!" Ye Chunnan protected Murong Ke. Looking at the posture of these Divine Generals, it was clear that they did not want the Ning Kingdom at all. They wanted to kill everyone.
Xi Chi's spear stabbed towards Ye Chunnan.
White Tiger roared and knocked Xi Chi away.
"Uncle!" Ming Xi's voice came from afar.
