Currently, everyone in the Imperial City was in a state of panic.
The nine provinces were already under the Nether Sect's control. Many eunuchs and palace maids had already seized the opportunity to slip away.
It wasn't that the attendant didn't know where the emperor's confidence came from, but as he thought about the two academies that had been continuously sending over leaf-sprouting pills for the past six months, his heart stirred. Could it be that His Majesty already had a way to win?
He didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately left respectfully.
He left the imperial city and went to the Big Dipper Academy. Then, he went to the Sky Conduct Academy to deliver Liu Gu's decree.
After all, they were at the foot of the Emperor. How could the two academies not go when the Emperor summoned them?
…
In the afternoon.
The twenty elders of the Big Dipper Academy and the Sky Conduct Academy entered the imperial city under the escort of the guards. They were led by a eunuch past several palaces and arrived outside the Evergreen Palace.
"You are all core members of the Academy. His Majesty must have something important to discuss with you. After entering, I hope that the elders will not contradict His Majesty. This is a special time and a special situation. That is all I can say. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Chen."
The twenty elders followed the eunuch into the Hall of Evergreen.
The ten from the Big Dipper Academy entered from the left, while the ten from the Sky Conduct Academy entered from the right.
As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw Emperor Liu Gu sitting in the middle of the hall, as if he had been waiting for them.
The twenty of them knelt down at the same time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Perhaps it was the influence of his long seclusion that made Liu Gu less disciplined. He stood up, walked down the steps, and said, "Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Twenty people stood up.
Liu Ge walked to the end of the two rows, then turned around and walked back.
After examining them, Liu Gu lightly nodded and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Liu Gu said loudly, "There's no cultivator in this world who isn't afraid of the Divine Capital because the entire Divine Capital is protected by the Ten Terminal Formation. The demonic rebel army was wreaking havoc everywhere. You are responsible for guiding the Ten Terminal Formation. Without you, the Ten Terminal Formation will become meaningless. I have to ensure your safety. "
"Your Majesty, this matter should be discussed in the imperial court. There are many experts in the Divine Capital, and the Imperial Guards are guarding it. Under normal circumstances, there's no need to activate the Ten Terminal Formation, "the first elder on the left said.
Just as he finished speaking.
Liu Gu's gaze fell on him.
"You don't think we need to open the array?"
"I only believe in the ability of the Imperial Army."
"If the Imperial Army is useful, why are there only two out of the Eight Great Commanders left?" Liu Gu asked.
"This …"
Liu Gu spread his arms and said, "I have called you here … not to ask you to teach me how to do things."
Hu!
The magistrate pen hanging on the table suddenly spun over, flickering with red light as it streaked across the elder's neck.
Chi!
Without any ability to resist, the elder fell to the ground.
The expressions of the elders changed slightly. Looking at the person who had fallen, their hearts trembled.
"Does anyone have any questions?"
Liu Gu's gaze moved back and forth between the remaining nineteen elders.
The Evergreen Hall was so quiet that the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"You are my subjects, but your hearts are with the rebel army?" Liu Gu said indifferently.
This accusation was too big, and everyone knelt down in fright.
"I dare not!"
Liu Gu looked at the kneeling people. He took several steps forward and said, "Just because the Evil Sky Pavilion has a Nine-leaf cultivator?"
Everyone shivered.
He dared not speak.
Liu Gu flipped his palm.
The unique sound of energy resonating rang in the air.
A miniature avatar appeared in front of him. Eight golden leaves appeared under the avatar.
The nineteen elders widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at Liu Gu's avatar.
The number of leaves was clear, and the light they emitted was blinding.
This meant that their emperor, the master of the Imperial city, the person with the highest status in Great Yan, had regained his cultivation base. He had severed his lotus and reached the Eight-leaf stage!
What kind of speed was this?
Liu Gu retracted his palm. At this moment, his avatar vanished as well.
He was very pleased with the intimidating effect.
As he looked at the trembling elders who dared not speak, Liu Gu said in a deep voice, "It won't be long before I reach the Nine-leaf stage …"
The elders cheered in unison, "All hail, Your Majesty! Live on forever! "
"All hail, Your Majesty!"
"Live on forever, Your Majesty!"
Three consecutive cheers rang out.
Liu Gu chuckled. However, his laughter was slightly chilling.
Perhaps, it was due to his prolonged cultivation in seclusion, his personality and temper had changed.
"Men!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many Imperial guards appeared outside the Evergreen Temple.
Liu Gu ordered, "Bring the elders away. Ensure their safety. Don't leave."
"Understood!"
…
Three days later.
The sun rose in the east.
A thick mist shrouded the river. When the sunlight shone through the white mist, it cast a hazy haze over the human cities.
Outside the cities, the towering trees that stretched as far as the eye could see were covered in a layer of white frost.
On the ancient path in the forest.
Rows of chariots were moving toward the Divine Capital.
Above the forest, a huge black flying chariot was advancing slowly.
The deck of the flying chariot was filled with cultivators.
There were 1,000 cultivators flying around it as well.
On the flying chariot.
Yu Zhenghai sat in the front seat, looking down at the mountains and rivers.
The sun rose, and the mist receded.
The Divine Capital appeared in front of him.
"Sect Master, the western side of Fairy's Capital has a total of 20,000 people led by four Branch Leaders, Ning Jinshui, Qian Hu, Meng Jueshan, and Gong Feng. The southern side of Fairy's Capital has a total of 20,000 people led by four Branch Leaders, Ran Zhe, Lv Yun, Tian Quan, and Feng Wenze. The northern side of Fairy's Capital has four Branch Leaders, Shi Haicheng, Tang Jijun, Tao Ruo, and Ke Qinghao. The eastern side of Fairy's Capital has a total of 15,000 people led by you and Mister Seventh."
Hua Chongyang reported the Nether Sect's situation in detail.
After listening to the report, Yu Zhenghai nodded slightly.
"Very good."
"Sect Leader, we're about to attack the Divine Capital. How are we going to deal with the neutral cultivators?"
There was no lack of cultivators in the Divine Capital.
There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and cultivation geniuses from all over the world gathered here.
Nobody could guarantee what the neutral cultivators would choose … Perhaps, they would suddenly stab the Nether Sect in the back. Perhaps, they would remain neutral. Perhaps, they would choose to fight the Divine Capital with the Nether Sect.
Yu Zhenghai said.
"Pass down the order. The time limit is two hours. Those who are not involved, run away. Anyone who stayed in the Divine Capital would be treated as an enemy. In the Imperial City, no matter who it is, treat them as enemies. "
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Whizz.
Whizz.
At this moment, the Nether Sect members swarmed in from all directions.
…
The Divine Capital.
On the city walls.
The soldiers guarding the Divine Capital saw the Nether Sect's forces slowly making their way toward them.
They immediately raised their horns and blew them.
As the horns sounded, smoke rose from the four walls of the Divine Capital.
At the same time, the cultivators in the teahouses, restaurants, and brothels in the Divine Capital stopped what they were doing. They listened to the sound of the horns coming from afar.
The sound of the horns was accompanied by Primal Qi. Intense soundwaves surged, reminding everyone in the Divine Capital that the Nether Sect was here!
For a time, the Divine Capital descended into chaos.
The many elite cultivators no longer cared about the rules that forbade flying in the city. They flew on their swords and headed out of the city.
…
The Nether Sect's flying chariot hovered 1,000 meters in the air outside the Divine Capital's city gates.
The entire army stopped.
Everything fell silent.
The Divine Capital and the area within 10 miles of the Divine Capital were shrouded in an intense killing intent.
The Nether Sect's flag fluttered in the air.
Two hours later.
On the Nether Sect's flying chariot 1,000 meters away from the Divine Capital's eastern gate.
A Seven-leaf avatar dove.
The avatar was 90 feet tall. A Seven-leaf Golden Lotus spun in the air.
Boom!
Several palm seals landed on the city walls. This indicated that the battle of the Divine Capital was about to begin.
