“Boom…”
With a final shudder, a figure fell from high in the sky, through the heavy clouds and straight down to earth.
The winner of the battle for the tenth gra*sland overlord of the Heavenly Ranking had been crowned. It was not the confident Golden Wolf Khan King, but the Cang Sheng Sect Master, the Great Qian Imperial Ancestor Mu Cang Sheng.
This tenth in the Heavenly Rankings was considered a very young and powerful person in the eyes of the world. But no one knew that he was three hundred years old or more, only a few dozen years younger than that white-haired old man Meng Shanhe.
When he achieved Godhood, the Golden Wolf King Khan had not even been born yet.
However, despite his defeat, the Khan King was not yet dead, only to see his falling figure suddenly move and turn into a stream of light, flying in the direction of the gra*sland.
“Trying to run?”
Mak Cansheng looked at the falling stream of light, “You can’t escape.”
The backbone of the Gra*sland people was the Golden Wolf Khan King, the strongest man in the land. If he died, the Golden Wolf Khan Court would also die, unless the Gra*sland produced another strongest man.
But Mu Cansheng would not give the gra*sland the opportunity and time to produce another strongest man.
Once the Golden Wolf Khan is dead, the Great Qian will not need the Northern Zhou as a barrier to the north. Cang Sheng could have made the Great Qian conquer the Northern Zhou, or even go all the way into the gra*slands, to the Great Snow Mountain at the end of the gra*slands, and unify the Central Plains plus a gra*sland.
Therefore, the Golden Wolf Khan must die.
Mak Cang Sheng shot away with electricity and went straight after the defeated gra*sland overlord.
——————————
The golden face of Brahma, sitting on the lotus platform, could not see the slightest ripple, just quietly looking at the image in the hall.
In the image was the fierce battle between the Golden Wolf Khan King and Mak Cang Sheng. From the frenzied battle to his defeat, the Golden Wolf Khan King did not have a single advantage and was completely pinned down by Mu Cansheng.
This tenth in the Heavenly Ranking was a bit too strong, and Indra, who was watching from the sidelines, could not help but feel alarmed.
It was not until the two figures disappeared one after the other in the Western Region that Brahma waved his hand to disperse the image and said, “The people of the Central Plains are, indeed, powerful. Even if we, the PeaC*ck Legacy and the Gra*slanders, were to invade the Central Plains, it would be difficult to go any further and occupy enough land.”
“Brahma,” Indra said with folded hands, “as long as Indra and Auspicious Heaven can refine the divine weapon, the three of us together, sooner or later the Central Plains will be ours, the PeaC*ck Remnant.”
“So, my Buddha promised Mak Cang Sheng’s conditions, letting him think that we only need this land in the West ——”
As Brahma thought about his conversation with Mak Cansheng, the look in his eyes was inexplicable, seemingly sneering or mocking.
“Mak Cansheng thought we only needed the Western Region as a place to stand, but he didn’t know that what we wanted was not just a place to stand, but to revive the PeaC*ck Dynasty.
What we want is not this desolate desert, but a pure land where our people can live and work in peace and happiness.”
“And that day is not far away ——”
Brahma twirled his rosary, seemingly talking to himself and to Indra, “It has been thousands of years since the Buddha brought the PeaC*ck Remnant to the Middle Kingdom. For generations, we peaC*ck relics have longed for a turning point, and now it has finally arrived.
Indra, how is the refinement of the divine weapon going?”
“It is not far from being completely refined.”
A golden pestle appeared in Indra’s hand, and the air in the entire hall froze, and there seemed to be a cracking sound in the darkness, as if space was shaken by the power of the pestle.
“As long as you and Auspicious Heaven refine the divine weapon, the day of the PeaC*ck Dynasty’s restoration will not be far away. In the future, the Cang Sheng Sect will withdraw from the Western Region, and we will have plenty of opportunities and time to refine the divine artefact. We will wait for the Central Plains people to fight to the death, and eventually we, the PeaC*ck nation, will reorganise the river and the mountain.”
Behind Brahma, a four-sided, four-armed Dharma form appeared, blossoming with an infinite amount of Buddhist light, echoing the divine pestle. But within this Buddha’s light, something else seemed to be brewing. This unknown object is moving in the dark, emitting a haunting aura.
——————————
In Tianmen Pa*s, there were already corpses all over the place, and blood was everywhere.
After entering Tianmen Pa*s, Gao Baiyang’s northwestern army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the remaining Divine Martial Army and attacked directly, killing the soldiers who were left behind.
Luo Feng had not expected at all that the enemy had not only laid killing tricks inside the Great Qian but also inside. He had deployed most of the soldiers in Tianmen Pa*s to capture Kartium, leaving the guard inside the pa*s empty and allowing Gao Baiyang to completely capture it at a fraction of the cost.
“General, the remnants of the Divine Warrior Army in Tianmen Pa*s have been completely eradicated, and our army has taken complete control of this pa*s.”
Sitting on a pile of corpses, Gao Baiyang listened to the report from his lieutenant and gently waved his hand, “Go and get busy.”
“Yes.”
After the deputy general retreated, Gao Baiyang just sat casually, watching the soldiers around him go about their business, but there was a hint of consternation on his face.
The plan was going well, the Tianmen Pa*s had been taken, and the next step was to wait for the gra*sland army to arrive and pin the Yin soldiers in Karthim and the Divine Marquis back and forth.
But the signal from the gra*sland army was slow to reach here, and Gao Baiyang had a very unsettling feeling in his heart.
It seemed like something was not right there, or should I say there was some kind of crisis approaching.
“Something is not right ——,” Gao Baiyang could not help but say to himself.
“It’s not right.”
A somewhat familiar voice rang out in his ears, and Gao Baiyang’s face flushed with joy as he whispered, “Senior Time-Life, is it you who has come?”
“It is the old man. Broken Yang, the operation has failed. You need to withdraw from Tianmen Pa*s immediately.”
“Withdraw? Where to?”
I had never thought that Old Man Timeless would say “Withdraw”. At this moment, where else could he withdraw to?
If he did not allow the Golden Wolf Khanate to march in, what awaited him was the liquidation of the Great Qian.
When he killed the first soldier of the Divine Martial Army, there would be no way for him to retreat.
“There is no need to worry. This time, the Great Qian is skilled and has made the old man and the others suffer a stifling defeat, but as long as the reaction is quick enough, this can’t be turned into a victory.” Old Man Timeless Life transmitted his voice.
Mak Cansheng had indeed calculated well enough, even to the point of including the Eastern Japanese. He should have done an extremely deep investigation into the Nine Heavens and knew what the Nine Heavens were up to.
The Eastern Japanese had invaded, causing the Blade God to go to the East China Sea to sit on his hands and had no time to intervene in the Western Region. This would have given Mak Cansheng the opportunity to pacify the Western Region, and even to defeat the Golden Wolf Khanate.
But little did Mak Cansheng know that his preoccupation with the Western Region would also give the Shadow King an opportunity.
At this moment, how could he not be another Blade God, being switched away from the mountain, allowing someone to take advantage of the situation.
“The Great Qian Shunping King will rebel, and we have resolved to do our utmost to help the Shunping King seek to take over the kingdom. After you lead your army out of the Heavenly Gate Pa*s, throw yourself into the service of King Shunping. Beginning this very night, tear apart the rivers and mountains of the Great Qian and divide the world in three.”
The words of the Old Man of Time’s Fate alarmed Gao Baiyang.
It was going to be radical, so radical that it was going to tear apart half of the rivers and mountains of the Great Qian in one night, or maybe add another day tomorrow. At least, to take up enough territory in that time.
This was undoubtedly a pipe dream for others, but for Jiu Tian, it was not impossible.
After Gao Baiyang’s initial shock, there was a strong sense of anticipation.
King Shunping could be said to have tipped the clouds in the court, and he was definitely able to protect the Northwest Army and Gao Baiyang. And, he also definitely has the strength to carry out this act of conspiracy.
What’s more important is ——
“War is in the air, my wish!”
The light of the Broken Army Star in the night sky intensified, and the star power hung down from the starry sky and entered Gao Baiyang’s body. The Star Breaker Lord was originally born for war, and what Gao Baiyang looked forward to the most was war.
“Pa*s the order!” Gao Baiyang got up and shouted, “All troops depart for Shuzhou.”
