No one knew what Long Ao meant.
Even so, the Imperial City, Long Family, and Ethereal Palace were on high alert.
If it was just Long Ao alone, he believed that the three great forces would not put him in their eyes. But the problem now was that Long Ao brought along an army of over a million corpse slaves. This was not something to joke about.
Still, the three forces didn't make a move, waiting to reap the benefits.
Everyone, including the three forces, thought that the Nether Mansion would continue to pursue Long Ao.
But what was the result?
Everyone was taken aback. Not only did the Serene Nether Mansion not chase after Long Ao, they even quieted down completely.
The Nether Mansion's actions confused everyone. They didn't know what the Nether Mansion was trying to do and why they didn't kill Long Ao.
It should be known that Long Ao had caused havoc in the Netherworld Mansion, provoking them time and time again. Not only had he taken away the Netherworld Mansion's treasure, but he had also killed their disciples. Not to mention the Netherworld Mansion, it was likely that no one would be willing to let this matter go.
Long Ao was pleasantly surprised that the Nether Mansion didn't make a move.
Long Ao also couldn't figure out what the Nether Mansion was trying to do.
As the leader of the four forces, the Nether Mansion had a Divine Realm cultivator. Long Ao naturally didn't want to start a war with the Nether Mansion.
That was why Long Ao went to the Imperial City first.
Imperial City.
The Imperial City's Ancestor, Shen He, had a gloomy expression. If it was just Long Ao, the Imperial City wouldn't be worried. But the corpse slave army was something that the Imperial City feared.
Everyone knew how terrifying the corpse slave army was.
Back then, the Dragon Sect had relied on the corpse slave army to defeat the four forces.
More importantly, the corpse slave army was immortal and could fight one hundred enemies. In this way, Long Ao had the upper hand. If Long Ao insisted on destroying the Imperial City, it wasn't impossible.
No matter what, not everyone in the Imperial City was a powerhouse. Out of fear, the Imperial City did not dare to confront Long Ao head-on and settled for the next best thing.
Long Ao obviously wasn't willing to leave the matter at that. He had already decided to have a life and death battle with the four major forces to remove all obstacles in the future.
Within the Imperial City.
The million-strong Corpse Demon army swarmed in. Long Ao did not slaughter them. Those who were willing to leave the Imperial City were all let go. Those who were stubborn were killed without mercy.
It had to be said that Long Ao's state of mind had indeed changed. If it was in the past, he would have already started slaughtering the Imperial City.
At the moment of life and death, many people chose to leave the Imperial City.
But there were also many people who chose to stay and live and die with the Imperial City. Although Long Ao didn't want to start a massacre, he understood the principle of cutting weeds without removing the roots, or they would grow again when the spring breeze blew.
Just as the Imperial City was about to be breached by the Corpse Demon army, the other three major forces, including the Nether Mansion, finally came to the Imperial City's aid.
If Long Ao didn't say that after dealing with the Imperial City, he would deal with the other three forces, Ethereal Palace, Long Family, and Nether Mansion would not meddle in other people's business. They would be happy if the Imperial City was destroyed.
However, the three major forces were very wary of Long Ao's Corpse Demon army. They had no choice but to help.
For a long time, the four major forces had been fighting openly and secretly. If it wasn't for the Dragon Sect's sudden intervention, the four major forces would never have joined forces.
But because of the fear of the Corpse Demon army, the four major forces were prepared to join forces in the end.
The rank three Long Family, Nether Mansion, and Ethereal Palace all knew that if Long Ao brought the Corpse Demon army to destroy the Imperial City, then they would have to deal with the three major forces next.
As the overlords of the Nine States' Spirit Domain, the four major forces' foundation and strength were there. They forcibly resisted the attack of the million Corpse Demon army.
Although the Corpse Demon army was immortal in name, it could still be destroyed. However, to destroy a Realm King, a half-step Sage was needed. In this way, the four major forces had to send out a lot of experts. Otherwise, they would be slowly eroded by the Corpse Demon army.
The million Corpse Demon army was simply too many. It was like a wave.
However, Long Ao didn't kill them all. He didn't want to create too many killing intent, especially the blood pool in the Dragon Seal Space. It was his nemesis. Once there were too many killing intent and the blood pool took advantage of the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Because of this, Long Ao stationed the Corpse Demon army outside the Imperial City and completely sealed the Imperial City. Not to mention a person, even a fly wouldn't be able to fly out.
Imperial City, Great Hall.
Imperial City's Old Ancestor Shen He, Ethereal Sect's Old Ancestor Wei Lin, Long Family's Old Ancestor Long Yang, and Nether Sect's Old Ancestor You Ming. The four Titled Great Emperors sat together and discussed how to deal with Long Ao's Corpse Demon army.
Especially the Imperial City's ancestor, Shen He. No matter what, this time, Long Ao brought the corpse slave army, and the first wave of attack was the Imperial City. Fortunately, the three families arrived in time. Otherwise, whether or not the Imperial City could be saved was still the biggest problem.
A mere Saint King could be easily annihilated by any expert they sent out.
However, Long Ao's Corpse Demon army was incomparably powerful.
Actually, in Shen He's heart, there was still one thing that he couldn't figure out. That was why Long Ao didn't choose any of the other forces, but chose him. Speaking of life and death grudges, the four major forces and Long Ao were like fire and water, so why did he choose him?
He cursed fiercely in his heart.
However, Shen He's voice was indifferent as he said, "The three of you, I believe you already know the whole story. Long Ao's intention is clear. This time, it seems that he wants to destroy our four major forces and dominate the Spirit Region of the Nine States."
Although Shen He didn't finish his words, the meaning in his words was very clear.
Because of this, the other three's faces were very gloomy and as ugly as they could be.
"Shen He, Long Ao brought the Corpse Demon army to deal with you and not us. I believe you should know about this. This time, we have already taken a great risk by coming here."
"Brother Wei is right. Shen He, today's matter is clearly Long Ao finding trouble with you. In fact, it has nothing to do with us at all. Seeing that you and I have known each other for so many years, we are just doing our best."
Hearing the two's words, Shen He cursed the three's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
Shameless.
Simply too shameless.
He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such shameless people. They were clearly afraid of the Corpse Demon army behind Long Ao and were afraid that Long Ao would bring the Corpse Demon army to attack them. Friendship?
Bullshit friendship.
If it wasn't because they were afraid of the Corpse Demon army behind Long Ao, Shen He was one hundred percent sure that the three wouldn't have brought a single soldier to help him. They were simply lying through their teeth. This kind of person was super disgusting.
He clearly despised the three, but Shen He was very clear in his heart that the Imperial City needed the help of the three forces at this moment. Once the three forces left, how could his side resist the million strong Corpse Demon army? Because of this, Shen He chose to compromise.
