Bad news came.
The Eighteen Dynasties and the Eighteen Ancient Cities were the thirty-six prefectures. There was no longer any barrier between them when they traded with each other. Therefore, news and information spread extremely quickly.
Everyone knew the ambitions of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace. If it weren't for the Beast Tide obstructing their investigation, they would have already attacked and forced their way into the Eighteen Ancient Cities and the Eighteen Dynasties.
The Beast Tide had mostly dissipated by now. There were frequent reports of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace's investigation at the border. It was inevitable that they would attack. It was just a matter of time.
"When Pavilion Master Luo Yun returned to the Eighteen Dynasties, there was already danger at the border. For this reason, Pavilion Master Luo Yun sent experts like Wu Jing Xue and Lin Tianchong to guard Yanxiang Pass. He is extremely attentive. This is also why he neglected sleep and food to quell the chaos and kill the traitors," the old man said again. His voice was filled with emotion.
"What do you mean?" the black-robed man asked, puzzled.
Unknowingly, the customers in the restaurant had gathered. They cast their gazes on the old man. Everyone's expression froze, and they were worried.
The old man smiled bitterly and explained slowly, "The battle between Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect has resulted in countless deaths and injuries. Their strength has also been greatly reduced. If we want to resist the invasion of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace, we can only work together.
"Isn't everything Pavilion Master Luo Yun is doing now to merge the Eighteen Ancient Cities and the Eighteen Dynasties into one?"
Buzz!
Everyone trembled. They hadn't noticed this point. Now that they heard the old man's words, they suddenly understood. No wonder Chu Xingyun was in such a hurry to quell the chaos and establish the thirty-six prefectures. It was all for the unity of the people to fight against the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace.
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun may be young, but he hides his strength well and possesses great wisdom. While he quelled the chaos, he gathered cultivation resources and gathered his forces, silently accumulating his strength. He never thought about enjoying glory, splendor, wealth, and great power. It is the good fortune of the people of the thirty-six prefectures to have such a pavilion master." The old man in linen robes sighed again. His words caused everyone to look at each other.
It turned out that Chu Xingyun had been wantonly collecting cultivation resources to prepare for a rainy day. He wanted to use them to resist the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace. However, the crowd did not think too deeply about all this. They thought that Chu Xingyun wanted to consolidate power.
The old man's words made the crowd feel guilty. They all wanted to give their cultivation resources to the Wanjian Pavilion so that they could help Chu Xingyun fight against the Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Wind Palace together!
Hu hu hu!
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out continuously. Wild gusts of wind swept over, startling the crowd into looking over. They saw a huge flying spiritual beast flapping its wings rapidly. There seemed to be a figure standing on the back of the spiritual beast.
Just as the spiritual beast was about to enter the city, the figure on the back of the spiritual beast suddenly stood up. He descended against the surging wind and stood on the tall city wall. He seemed to be exhausted. Even from several hundred meters away, they could still sense his feeble presence.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the city!" At the same time, two Star Suppression Guards in Star Rune Heavy Armor stepped forward. With a furious roar, they quickly arrived before the figure.
However, when they saw the figure's face, the two Star Suppression Guards suddenly became stunned.
This figure was a young man with a firm appearance and honest features. He wore heavy armor, and two Divine Crests were deeply branded on the armor. They were suffused with a hazy glow of clouds and mist, and it was an extremely miraculous sight.
"This person seems to be Elder Chu Hu," one of the Star Suppression Guards said. The young man in front of them was actually Elder Chu. However, the strange thing was that Elder Chu's face was especially pale. The feeble presence on his body was dense, as if he had exhausted all of his spiritual energy.
"Where is the Pavilion Master? Quickly bring me to see him." When Elder Chu saw the two Star Suppression Guards, he finally let out a long sigh of relief. A moment later, an anxious expression appeared on his face. His voice was filled with anxiety.
"Elder Chu Hu, it really is Elder Chu Hu." At this moment, the crowd stretched out their windows and looked over.
One had to know that the Qitian Peak stood within the Flowing Cloud Imperial City. They were no strangers to Elder Chu. With a single glance, they recognized the newcomer's identity. Their hearts couldn't help but freeze. Just what had happened to make Elder Chu so miserable?
"The Pavilion Master is currently discussing important matters regarding the Imperial Army at the Qitian Peak. He can't leave for the time being. May I know what urgent matter Elder Chu Hu has?" The two Star Suppression Guards helped Elder Chu up. When they reached out their hands, they were both stunned. Elder Chu's entire body was covered in sweat. He was completely exhausted.
"Elder Chu Hu, what's happened?" Just as the Star Suppressing Guard finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Su Hanfeng, who was dressed in tight clothes, walked out from the city. Beside him, there was a tall and sturdy man in heavy armor. It was Ye Ming.
"The Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall have finally made their move. They suddenly gathered their army and launched a night attack. Now, more than ten villages have been destroyed. The casualties are especially tragic. Quickly bring me to see the Pavilion Master."
Elder Chu gritted his teeth and stood up. He didn't care about his injuries and the large amount of spiritual energy he had consumed.
"What did you say?" Su Hanfeng and Ye Ming's bodies trembled violently. They were just about to go forward and support Elder Chu when Chu Xingyun's figure appeared like a ghost. He stood beside Elder Chu and gently stretched out his hand. A pure spiritual energy entered Elder Chu's body.
Buzz!
With the influx of spiritual energy, Elder Chu's face became ruddy. As his aura rose, he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Chu Xingyun, "Master, the border … Something happened."
"Tell me about this matter in detail," Chu Xing Yun spat out a word, and his expression gradually became serious.
Elder Chu took a deep breath and said seriously, "During this period, there have been frequent conflicts at the border. We built defensive fortifications overnight and did our best to resist the investigation of the Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall. Although there were some losses, the situation was still under control. However, we didn't expect that the enemy would gather their army too quickly and have too many experts."
"Yesterday, just as night fell, the Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall suddenly launched an attack. The number of the enemy's army was not in the hundreds of thousands, but 3.6 million. There were also many Yin Yang experts accompanying them. They easily broke through our defensive fortifications. Wherever they passed, all the villages and farmers were destroyed. No one survived."
The two simple words made everyone tremble violently. It was as if they had been struck by lightning. The army of the Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall had reached 3.6 million?
"The thing I worried about the most has finally happened!"
Chu Xingyun's expression became more and more serious. 3.6 million elite soldiers were the foundation of the Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall. Their purpose in leading the attack was as clear as day.
"And …" Elder Chu paused, his face turning pale again. This made Chu Xingyun's heart tighten. He stared at Elder Chu, a strong sense of uneasiness vaguely showing in his eyes.
"When the enemy launched their attack, I rushed here on a flying spiritual beast. Although it was a fast journey, it still took a lot of time. Judging from the speed of the enemy's charge, I'm afraid that they have already killed their way to the gate of Soaring Yancheng City." Elder Chu clenched his teeth. There were already mottled bloodstains on his lips.
