“Should I sneak an attack on the Yinyang Sect?”

Han Li’s gaze drifted beyond Leizhou, looking toward the territory of the Yinyang Sect.

He knew that the Yinyang Sect’s Sect Hierarch had ventured into the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, leaving the Yinyang Sect’s forces somewhat depleted, making it a prime opportunity for a surprise attack.

He had been eyeing the Devil Princess, Yun Miaoyi, for quite some time now, and this seemed like a good chance to catch her and bring her home.

But after some thought, Han Li decided not to go.

The Daqian Empire had two combatants of the True Martial Realm, and the Yinyang Sect most certainly had the same, who knows what level that other True Martial Realm Emperor Wu was. If it was the late stage of the True Martial Realm, he would just be throwing himself into trouble.

Han Li also didn’t know Yun Miaoyi’s exact location, which could potentially be a wasted trip, and he didn’t have the time to lay in wait at the Yinyang Sect.

With the current turmoil, tension was high, and there was a chance that Tianxuan Mountain could be in real trouble soon, and Han Li didn’t know when the group of True Martial Realm Emperor Wus would emerge from the Secret Territory.

If he missed this opportunity, it would be a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. There would always be a chance to catch Yun Miaoyi, but seizing a female cultivator of the True Martial Realm wasn’t as easy, and this was an excellent opportunity.

He had taken a glance earlier and saw a female cultivator of the True Martial Realm entering the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm; he just hoped that the dragoness in there was powerful enough to seriously injure her, and that this cultivator could last without getting killed by the dragoness.

Han Li glanced at the battlefield in Leizhou and then turned his gaze back to the Capital City of Daqian, curious to see whether the Daqian Empire would be able to withstand this crisis and what measures they had in place.

If they didn’t handle it well, the Daqian Empire would be doomed.

He now greatly appreciated his foresight in relocating to Yuanzhou, which was a very wise decision. With the Daqian Empire under siege on all sides, only the Mid Six Province faced less pressure and was relatively stable.

Leizhou.

As the Yinyang Sect’s army entered Qingyun Manor, the Hehuan Sect immediately emerged as a leader, providing extensive intelligence on the Daqian Empire’s presence in Leizhou.

The Yinyang Sect’s army split into four divisions, starting from Qingyun Manor and marching in four different directions, conquering cities and fortresses effortlessly and causing county and manor cities to surrender at the sight of them, eventually convening at Fengyang Manor.

In a short time, they swept through half of Leizhou, proving to be unstoppable.

If not for Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong leading a large army to set up defenses at Fengyang Manor to block the Yinyang Sect’s forces, they could have taken over the entire Leizhou within a day.

The area had turned into a meat grinder; countless cultivators died every day, with the Daqian Empire suffering the highest casualties but successfully holding back the Yinyang Sect’s forces.

Compared to the Yinyang Sect, the Daqian Empire had a more advantageous military formation, allowing it to maximize the army’s strength.

A military formation of a hundred thousand cultivators led by a Guru in the Void Realm would make even a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm cautious. A single misstep could lead to death.

But if support from Daqian didn’t arrive in time, Wan Guiyuan, Yang Tianxiong, and the others couldn’t hold out for long. Furthermore, besieged on all sides, how much force could Daqian spare to fight against the Yinyang Sect?

All sides were watching and waiting to see if the Daqian Empire could hold out because failure to do so meant annihilation.

The Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, and the Da Jing Empire struck like thunder, aiming to occupy as much territory as possible in the shortest time, hoping to annihilate the Daqian Empire outright.

Even if the two True Martial Realm combatants of Daqian returned, they would not be able to turn the tide, as the territories taken by the four great forces would not be easily relinquished.

The Daqian Empire, on the other hand, aimed to sustain with minimal losses until the two True Martial Realm combatants returned. If they successfully acquired the Dragon Ball, all its losses would have been worth it.

Tianxuan Mountain.

Atop Tianxuan Peak, Gongsun Yun continuously gazed in the direction of the battlefield in Leizhou, his expression filled with worry.

The Daqian Empire issued a final ultimatum, decreeing that a decision had to be made within a day. Siding with the Daqian Empire would bring many benefits; choosing neutrality or siding with the enemy, however, would lead to Daqian wiping out Tianxuan Mountain first.

Not just Tianxuan Mountain, but also the Sects and families within Leizhou faced the same pressure; the Daqian Empire wanted to stabilize internally first and concentrate its strength to oppose the Yinyang Sect. The forces in Qingzhou and Huozhou were given a bit more leeway, with two days to decide.

“There is no escaping it in the end,” sighed Gongsun Yun.

After such an undercurrent had been building up for so long, the outbreak was torrential and sweeping, with the forces of the front-line Twelve Province unable to stay out of it.

As a branch of the Dao Sect, Tianxuan Mountain couldn’t possibly side with the Yinyang Sect. They had maintained neutrality in ordinary times, but now they had no choice but to side with the Daqian Empire due to their insufficient strength.

Even if Gongsun Yun revealed his strength as a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he couldn’t protect Tianxuan Mountain, unless a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu appeared there.

Gongsun Yun had already decided to side with the Daqian Empire and reveal his strength as a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, ensuring he could protect the disciples of his Sect as much as possible on the battlefield.

“Little Cloud.”

At that moment, a voice penetrated Tianxuan Mountain’s grand formation and reached Gongsun Yun’s ears.

Gongsun Yun’s pupils contracted sharply as he immediately looked in the direction of the voice, overjoyed. Before he could speak, three figures landed on Tianxuan Peak.

“Hahaha~ I have returned.”

“We’ve made it back just in time.”

“Little Cloud, were you getting anxious?”

Three figures stood beside Gongsun Yun, one middle-aged and two elderly, all seeming quite excited.

“Ancestor.”

Gongsun Yun immediately bowed respectfully, recognizing the three individuals. They were the second, third, and fourth generation Sect Leaders of Tianxuan Mountain.

“Little Cloud, you’ve done very well to cultivate to the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Your cultivation level is close to mine; I indeed made the right choice,” the middle-aged man said as he scrutinized Gongsun Yun closely, clicking his tongue in admiration.
