After the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace said this, he looked at Ye Futian and said, "Futian, go to the Ancestral Lands and take the things away. Bring them back to the Heavenly Mandate Academy."
Ye Futian was stunned when he heard the words of the Divine Palace Palace Lord. Was he making arrangements for his funeral?
The Palace Lord of the Divine Palace was already a top figure in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. At his level of cultivation, almost no one could touch him. But today, he was so pessimistic. Obviously, he knew how difficult the situation was.
Moreover, what surprised Ye Futian was that the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace actually wanted him to go to the Ancestral Lands and take the things away.
Of course, he knew what they wanted him to take away. It was a divine item placed in the Ancestral Land by the Shen Clan. Back when he was cultivating in the Ancestral Land, he had chatted with the mysterious cultivator of the Ancestral Land. This divine item was something that could attract the greed of others and could become a source of disaster. Today, it was possible that no one had come for it.
The Palace Lord of the Divine Palace probably understood that Ye Futian was the best candidate. Other than the Heavenly Mandate Academy, no one could guard the divine item of the Ancestral Land. Therefore, he wanted to pin his hopes on the Heavenly Mandate Academy and make it a continuation of the Divine Palace. He also wanted Ye Futian to leave the Divine Palace and take his people with him.
Everything here was a battle between the Divine Palace and the Golden Divine Nation. Now that Ye Futian was involved, it didn't seem like he could change the situation.
He had already sensed that the other party had sent quite a few powerful figures, and he was afraid that among them were powerful beings from the Divine Prefecture. Under such circumstances, they had no chance of winning.
Ye Futian looked at him and did not leave. Instead, he said softly, "Does the Palace Lord really think that this is just a matter of the Divine Palace?"
Some things couldn't be avoided.
The Golden Divine Nation wanted to deal with the Divine Palace. Today, all the principalities had gathered together. Moreover, they had launched a long-distance siege in other realms of the Nine Realms, preventing the Golden Divine Nation's reinforcements from arriving. On the surface, they were only targeting the Divine Palace, but they were also targeting the alliance of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
"Palace Lord, all the allied forces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy will rise or fall together," Ye Futian said. They had no way out.
If they abandoned the Divine Palace and left on their own, the enemy's next target might be them.
It was too easy to find a reason to send troops. Just like today, when they attacked the Divine Palace, it was just a groundless accusation. They claimed that the Divine Palace helped the wicked and shielded him, and did not open up the Ancestral Land for people to cultivate. It was ridiculous.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy and the Divine Palace were already tied together. No one could leave this allied warship alone.
"Palace Lord, the situation now is not something that can be avoided by giving up anything. The fate of the entire Alliance is in our hands. Even if the situation is pessimistic, we have no choice but to cut off all means of retreat," Ye Futian continued.
Hearing his words, the Divine Palace Palace Lord nodded slightly. He naturally understood this. However, the Divine Palace was a preaching holy land, and the cultivators of the Divine Palace were all kind to the world. All the Palace Lord wanted was to fight to the death to protect the Divine Palace and let the others leave.
However, people were different. He used his own way of thinking to measure things, but neglected the other party.
The Shen clan and the Golden Divine Nation were not good people.
"Palace Master, this battle is unavoidable." Lord Taixuan also said. Although he also understood the situation they were facing, it was impossible to avoid casualties now. Only by cutting off all means of retreat and fighting would they have a chance of survival.
The Divine Palace Palace Lord looked into the distance. He rose into the air and looked into the distance. His divine consciousness shrouded the place. Above the Sea of the Path, the lone boats floated on the surface of the sea. He said loudly, "Gai Qiong, as a cultivator under the Great Emperor, you stirred up a storm in the Higher Heavens Realm, destroyed the Divine Sword Li family, led foreign forces into the Higher Heavens Realm, and forced the forces of the Higher Heavens Realm to follow you. Now you lead an army to the Shangxiao Divine Palace and stir up a storm in the Upper Heavens Realm.
Gai Qiong had always been below Gai Cang. In this battle, Gai Cang was in charge. As a cultivator under the Great Emperor, it was not appropriate for him to be at the forefront. Because of this, they found a legitimate reason to attack the Divine Palace. In fact, it was also to prevent the Great Emperor from getting involved.
Of course, he also understood that the Great Emperor rarely asked about the affairs of the Void Realm, and even the affairs of the Divine Prefecture, the Great Emperor did not care much about them.
"Nonsense. The Divine Palace has disgraced the name of the preaching holy land. We should replace it and choose a better preaching holy land to preach in the Higher Heavens Realm. This is in itself the will of the Great Emperor. In the future, the Higher Heavens Realm will only be more prosperous, and the preaching holy land of the Higher Heavens Realm will be more selfless, unlike the Divine Palace."
Gai Qiong said loudly. His voice rolled and swept through the endless void.
"For many years, the Shangxiao Divine Palace has never been involved in the disputes of the outside world. Only when the Dark Army arrived did we go to help the Heavenly Mandate Academy in order to maintain the order of the Nine Realms. The world has witnessed it," the Palace Lord continued, "However, today, I am afraid that the Divine Palace will break the rule."
"The rules that have been observed for many years will be broken today. In this battle, since everyone who is left is willing to fight side by side, then today, the Divine Palace is no longer a preaching holy land, but a simple sect. I will do my best to protect the Divine Palace. Therefore, from now on, anyone who takes a step into the Divine Palace will be killed without mercy."
The Palace Lord's voice rolled and spread through the void. At this time, his clothes were fluttering, and he was full of murderous aura.
Today, he no longer cared about the common people, no longer wanted to preach to the world, and no longer wanted to protect the world. Today, he only wanted to protect the Divine Palace. Anyone who wanted to destroy the Divine Palace was an enemy, and he would kill without mercy.
No matter what the future held, no matter whether this battle would cause the strength of the Higher Heavens Realm to regress, on this day, he chose the Divine Palace.
"All people within a thousand miles of the Divine Palace, leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be regarded as a threat to the Divine Palace. If you attack, you will not be merciful," the Palace Lord continued, "Now, retreat."
Above the Sea of the Path, many boats were floating on the water. At this moment, when they heard the words of the Palace Lord, their hearts trembled.
At this moment, the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace became strong and indifferent.
Within a thousand miles, no one was allowed to leave. Otherwise, once the war started, they would be killed.
"Leave, all of you. If the war starts, the innocent will be affected. Those who stay will be regarded as participants in the war," the Palace Lord of the Divine Music Palace also said. The Palace Lord of the Divine Music Palace also said. Suddenly, many figures turned back and left. Although they wanted to witness this battle that would determine the fate of the Higher Heavens Realm up close, they could only leave since the Divine Palace had said so.
This battle was related to the survival of the Divine Palace. All the cultivators of the Divine Palace had made up their minds and were going to kill today.
Therefore, those who had nothing to do with it were asked to leave the battlefield a thousand miles away.
In this battle, no one knew how many cultivators would fall.
Above the Sea of the Path, countless small boats galloped away. It was extremely spectacular. After all, only a few people came to participate in the battle today.
"Is the Sky Burying God Clan also going to participate in the war?" the Palace Lord of the Divine Music Palace asked in a cold tone as his divine consciousness swept in one direction.
The top force of the Higher Heavens Realm, the Sky Burying God Clan, once competed with the Divine Sword Li Family.
Now that the Divine Sword Li Family was destroyed, the Sky Burying God Clan actually came here and surrounded the Divine Palace.
"Many people of the Sky Burying God Clan once sought the Way and cultivated in the Divine Palace. We owe the Divine Palace a debt. Now that we have come, it is indeed immoral. However, the general trend is like this, and we can only go with the flow. If the Divine Palace is defeated today, the Sky Burying God Clan will assist a new holy land in the future and preach in the Higher Heavens Realm," the clan leader of the Sky Burying God Clan said loudly. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he had no other choice.
They also didn't want to be involved in this storm, but they had no choice but to take sides. The Golden Divine Nation came to them directly and mentioned today's situation to him. Moreover, everything they said was being fulfilled.
He also promised that as long as what the Golden Divine Nation said was true, they would participate in the war.
Under the general trend, he could only submit and couldn't stay out of it.
In fact, many forces in the Higher Heavens Realm actually wanted to watch from the sidelines, but the other side didn't give them such a chance.
"I understand." The Palace Lord of the Divine Music Palace nodded and didn't say much. He understood the other side's difficulties. However, since he had made the choice to come and deal with the Divine Palace with enmity, he would certainly understand the Divine Palace.
Now, there was no such thing as right or wrong. Their positions were different, and they faced each other in life and death.
"The Divine Palace is tyrannical. The forces of the Higher Heavens Realm are naturally united and will rebuild the holy land," Gai Cang said in a clear voice. "The Heavenly Mandate Academy destroyed the forces of the Higher Heavens Realm before, crossing over to the Higher Heavens Realm and stirring up a bloodbath. Now, are you planning to control the Higher Heavens Realm? If you can give us an explanation and withdraw from the battlefield, maybe there will be room for negotiation."
"Can you shut up now?" Ye Futian looked into the distance at the golden throne in the void and the overbearing Gai Cang.
When Gai Cang heard Ye Futian's words, his golden divine eyes shot at him. Across the distance, this gaze seemed to pierce through Ye Futian.
He stood up from the golden throne. Above the sky, golden divine light sprinkled down, enveloping the endless Divine Palace. It was as if the sky above the Divine Palace was filled with divine light. The Golden Divine Nation was like an extremely sharp spear, falling down to the ground below.
Gai Cang stretched out his palm, and a terrible rumbling sound came out. Endless golden divine light gathered in his hand, and an unparalleled divine spear appeared, swallowing and spitting unparalleled brilliance, piercing the void.
He stretched out his arm, and the spear pointed in the direction of the Divine Palace. He spat out a voice, "Today's battle is for the future of the Higher Heavens Realm!"
