Snake Emperor, Ghost King Ao Tian, and the others split into three groups to attack the three forces.
Being caught off guard was the Dragon Sect's motto.
Not only that, but the Imperial City also sent out three groups to attack the three forces together with the Dragon Sect.
Just as Long Ao and Snake Emperor had guessed, Long Ao had slaughtered three thousand people and seven Half-Saints on Bai Ling Mountain. The three forces would never have thought that Long Ao would take advantage of the situation.
When the three forces finally reacted, the situation was already irreversible.
The Dragon Sect's corpse slave army and the Imperial City's powerful army forced the three forces to retreat. In just one night, they were almost forced out of the Nine States and back to the Nine States Spirit Region.
However, the three forces obviously didn't want to give up. They immediately increased their efforts and sent out powerful forces. This way, the three forces could be considered to have gained a firm foothold.
This time, Snake Emperor and the others didn't dare to disobey Long Ao's orders. They stopped and didn't continue to chase after the three forces.
Just when everyone, including the Imperial City and the three forces, thought that Long Ao would occupy the other states, the Dragon Sect's three groups all withdrew and returned to Tianzhou.
Long Ao's action caused everyone to be in a daze.
The Imperial City was very depressed. They thought that they could occupy half of the country this time, but the Dragon Sect suddenly withdrew, so the Imperial City could only choose to give up.

"Brother Duan, please sit."
Long Ao wasn't surprised by Duan Kai's sudden arrival because he had already guessed that the Imperial City would send someone. He didn't expect Duan Kai to come personally.
Duan Kai was very depressed. As a higher-up of the Imperial City, he shouldn't have come at all. However, with Long Ao's current status, Duan He was no longer qualified.
"Master Long, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit this time."
Long Ao shook his head and didn't say anything.
Coldly snorting in his heart, Long Ao of course knew why Duan Kai had come this time, but he would not point it out because in this situation, the initiative was already in his hands.
In his heart, he was already cursing Long Ao's eighteen generations of ancestors, but Duan Kai's expression was very natural as he said, "Master Long, this time, the Dragon Sect and the Imperial City have joined forces and already have the upper hand. Why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue? Why must the Dragon Sect suddenly withdraw and lose such a great opportunity that only comes once in a blue moon?"
"Brother Duan, do you think that pursuing the enemy while they are victorious is the best strategy?"
Nodding his head, Duan Kai said, "That's right. This time, the three great forces were caught unprepared by me. As long as we take advantage of the situation and pursue them, I'm sure that we'll be able to drive the three great forces out of the Nine Provinces, and then each of us will occupy half of the world."
How could Long Ao not know what Duan Kai meant? He once again cursed in his heart, but no matter what, the Sect and the Imperial City were still allies.
"Brother Duan, things have already come to this point. To tell you the truth, with the current strength of the Dragon Sect, once we fight with the three great forces, we'll only be digging our own grave. Do you agree with my point of view?"
Duan Kai did not say anything, which could be considered as tacit agreement.
As one of the upper echelons of the Imperial City, Duan Kai naturally knew how terrifying the foundations and strength of the four great forces were. Just the Dragon Sect, which had just been established not long ago, wanted to destroy the four great forces. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, he definitely did not believe it.
However, Duan Kai still did not want to give up this opportunity because his intention was very simple. He wanted to borrow the power of the Dragon Sect to restrain the three great forces. When the time came to occupy the Nine Provinces, he would be able to find the Grave of the Gods as quickly as possible.
As long as he could find the Grave of the Gods, even if the Imperial City withdrew from the Nine Provinces, it would not be a big deal.
He was unwilling to accept this.
"With the current strength of the Dragon Sect, going head-on against the three great forces is practically courting death. Brother Duan, your Imperial City has a big business, so of course you're not afraid, but our situation is different."
"Master Long, things have already come to this point. Let's not beat around the bush."
"Sure."
Long Ao appeared to be very indifferent, as if he did not care about the alliance of the two great forces at all. It was precisely because of this that Duan Kai became more and more unsure of himself.
Under normal circumstances, there were as many forces as there were hairs on a cow that wanted to ally with the Imperial City, but everything would be led by the Imperial City. But now?
It was as if the Imperial City and the Dragon Sect had formed an alliance, with the Dragon Sect as the boss and the Imperial City as the vassal. It was as if the Imperial City had to curry favor with the Dragon Sect.
"Master Long, the grudge between you and the three great forces, especially with the Long family and the Ethereal Palace, has reached a point where it's either you die or I die. Although it's impossible for us to destroy the three great forces, it's more than enough to restrain them. What do you think?"
Long Ao did not speak because he knew very well that Duan Kai had not finished speaking.
As expected.
"Master Long, I can guarantee that as long as you go all out this time, we will definitely be able to drive the three great forces out of the Nine Provinces. At that time, we will each occupy half of the world. I can also guarantee that three years later, the Imperial City will also withdraw from the Nine Provinces. At that time, the entire Nine Provinces will belong to the Dragon Sect. What do you think?"
He sneered to the extreme in his heart.
Regarding Duan Kai's schemes and machinations, Long Ao knew it clearly.
The Grave of the Gods. In the end, Duan Kai could not wait to drive the three great forces out so that he could monopolize the Grave of the Gods. However, the four great forces would never have thought that the Grave of the Gods they were searching for was not in the Nine Provinces at all, but in the Nine Provinces Spirit Domain's Sin City.
Since that was the case, why not use the Imperial City to restrain the three great forces?
Thinking of this, Long Ao said, "Brother Duan, since you have said so, then I will also tell you the truth. The reason why the Dragon Sect can defeat the three great forces is entirely because of the corpse slave army. However, the problem now is that the corpse slave army is limited in number. As long as the Imperial City can send double the number of people, I will agree to this matter."
Shameless.
Despicable.
Duan Kai cursed all eighteen generations of Long Ao's ancestors in his heart. Double the number of people. Long Ao wanted nothing more than to take advantage of the situation, but he had to agree.
This time, Duan Kai had come to settle this matter. Thinking of the comparison between the Grave of the Gods and double the number of people, Duan Kai nodded and said, "No problem, Master Long. Since we have already agreed, then let's act immediately. What do you think?"
"Okay."
Long Ao smiled. This time, the Imperial City and the Dragon Sect were clearly at a disadvantage. However, the Imperial City could only suffer in silence, unable to voice out their bitterness.
If it were not for the Grave of the Gods, Duan Kai would not be so compromising. Long Ao also took advantage of this point to obtain the greatest benefit for himself and the Dragon Sect.
The corpse slave army was immortal. Long Ao was not worried about the corpse slave army. When the four great forces fought, he would be the one taking advantage in the end.
