Zhu Hongxue walked up to Yang Dingtian and said, "I've already broken through to the Grandmaster realm."
He had already disappeared for several months, and for the past month, he had been in seclusion.
The Grandmaster realm was a threshold.
Generally speaking, it was very difficult to break through during normal cultivation. Most of them broke through during life-or-death battles or when they devoured powerful energy.
As for Zhu Hongxue, he chose to break through during normal cultivation. Although it was very difficult, he still broke through.
Yang Dingtian had spent very little time cultivating recently, but he still easily broke through to the five-star Grandmaster realm. That's right, he broke through easily. Not only that, he directly broke through to the level nine Grandmaster realm.
As for Qin Huaiyu and Song Chunhua, they were too busy and had almost no time to cultivate. Especially Qin Huaiyu, who was always cleaning up the vassals.
Therefore, the two of them did not have much of a breakthrough in their cultivation.
Among the four of them, Yang Dingtian's cultivation went from the bottom to the top.
"Are you sure you want to go?
I want to arrange for you to stay behind, "Yang Dingtian said.
"I want to go," Zhu Hongxue said lightly.
During the top-secret meeting to discuss how to deal with Zhu Qingzhu, Zhu Hongxue wanted to leave several times, but Yang Dingtian asked him to participate.
This time, they might have to fight Zhu Qingzhu directly. Yang Dingtian did not want Zhu Hongxue to go, but he insisted on going.
"Okay." Yang Dingtian nodded.
Due to the intervention of the ancient giant beast, it was impossible for Zhongzhou to send a large number of troops to the Earth Splitting City and the Sky Cloud Pavilion.
Moreover, Zhu Qingzhu had defined this battle as a battle between the Tiandō League and the Evil ways, so it could be a battle between martial artists.
Therefore, the West Continent needed to mobilize almost all the martial artists this time.
Currently, the entire West Continent had Grandmasters and above.
There were a total of six World Association elders and vassals.
The Northwest Qin City was the most terrifying, with a total of fifteen.
Cloud Sky City had the least, with only two. Moreover, Yaorao's belly was too big, so she could not participate in this battle.
Therefore, only Yang Dingtian was left.
Only Duan Ruyan was left in the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. The rest of the experts had either betrayed or been killed.
In the Divine Weapons Villa, there were a total of four experts above the Grandmaster Realm.
Therefore, on Yang Dingtian's side, there were three experts above the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Qin Wanchou, Dongfang Minmie, Xiao Xiao.
Including Zhu Hongxue, there were a total of twenty-six Grandmasters.
If Yun Cailin, Kui Si, and Yang Dingtian's War Puppet Demon, Ye Wucheng, were included, there would be four of them.
As for powerhouses at the Martial Honorable level and above, there were more than three hundred of them in the entire Western Continent.
Of course, the West Continent only had about half of the Central Continent in terms of Martial Venerables and Grandmasters.
However, it should be enough to fight against the Xuantian Sect.
For this trip to the Sky Cloud Pavilion and the Earth Splitting City, almost all of the elite martial practitioners had turned out in full force!
Only the Great Grandmaster Dongfang Minmie, the nameless Grandmaster, and a hundred Martial Venerables stayed behind to guard the West Continent.
Of course, their main focus was only in Xijing and the Council of Light's secret manufacturing base.
The reason why Dongfang Minmie did not go to the Cloud Sky Pavilion's Earth-shattering City was because he was going there to reorganize and take over!
…
More than a hundred thousand elites from the Middle Continent were heading toward the Yingzhou Mainland.
Yang Dingtian and Qin Wanchou had led hundreds of martial practitioners to the Earth Splitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion on various flying mounts at the fastest speed possible!
After arriving at the Earth Splitting City, Kui Si did not say a word. Almost half of his hair had turned white.
In this huge conspiracy, Kui Si was the most passive one. He was completely dragged into this mess by Yun Cailin.
Of course, the most painful thing for him was that he had been played. He had been played by the Vulture Sect.
Initially, he had a good impression of the Vulture Sect that had saved him.
However, things had turned out this way. His wife had become one of the Evil ways, and his daughter had also become one of the Evil ways.
If he still did not know that he had been played, then he was really hopeless.
After seeing Yang Dingtian, he did not say a word. Just like a martial practitioner, he led seven Masters and joined Yang Dingtian's martial practitioner team.
Yang Dingtian saw the pale and lifeless Kui Si's wife, He Wanqing. She had tried to commit suicide a few times in an attempt to use her death to save the Earth Splitting City. Hence, Kui Si had no choice but to lock all of her Xuan Meridians, making her unable to move.
After seeing Yang Dingtian, Kui Si's eyes were filled with pleading and apology.
That day, she had decided to withdraw the Demon Eagle Army in exchange for Wu Youming to save Kui Si.
However, who knew that Kui Si's return was just a conspiracy that had almost dragged the Earth Splitting City into hell.
"You don't have to apologize, and you don't have to beg for death."
Yang Dingtian grabbed Kui Si's hand and said, "I can't clear your name now, but I can definitely do it in the future."
Kui Si's expression immediately calmed down, and tears fell.
…
Reorganizing the Earth Splitting City was as easy as blowing off dust.
As the new Earth Splitting City Lord, Kui Qing directly handed over all of the city's defensive arrangements, and handed over all of the Demon Eagle Army's command rights.
Next, the Western Continent's army would enter the Earth Splitting City and Cloud Sky Pavilion on a large scale to take over the defense of these two places.
Then, a large number of real cannons would densely cover every part of the coastline of these two places.
Almost silently, the entire Earth Splitting City's over three thousand Demon Eagle Army's soldiers immediately changed to small crystal crossbows.
Yang Dingtian and the rest only stayed in the Earth Splitting City for a few hours.
Then, with the Earth Splitting City's Masters and two thousand Demon Eagle Army's soldiers, they flew directly from the border to the Cloud Sky Plateau.
The old Cloud Sky Pavilion had already been destroyed by the avalanche caused by the bombing.
The current Cloud Sky Pavilion was in the huge castle of Manning Mountain!
This castle was built on a cliff a few thousand meters above the ground. It was even more dangerous and precipitous.
Actually, in terms of defense, it was stronger than the Cloud Sky Pavilion on the Great Snow Mountain. However, it was not as high.
"Sinner Yun Cailin greets Sect Leader Yang Dingtian!" The gray-haired Yun Cailin bowed deeply and stood side by side with Yun Chi to welcome Yang Dingtian.
The past few months were like a deep nightmare.
After waking up, of course, she knew that she was wrong.
However, she was still unwilling to kneel down.
After welcoming Yang Dingtian into the castle, Yun Cailin immediately bid farewell and did not participate in any affairs. Then, she continued to lock herself in the dark room.
She only said one sentence, "Call me out when Zhu Qingzhu and the people from the Vulture Sect are here."
When she said this sentence, she was completely filled with soaring resentment.
Perhaps, she only had one thought at this moment, and that was to perish together with Zhu Qingzhu and Lingxi.
…
In the Cloud Sky Pavilion's castle, all the affairs were proceeding smoothly!
Yun Cailin was gone, and her cousin, Elder Yun Chi, took over as the new Cloud Sky Pavilion Master.
Although Yun Chi was very talented, she was not very interested in martial arts and power.
In fact, more than 20 years ago, she was the candidate for Cloud Sky Pavilion Master. Because Yun Cailin had an affair with her archenemy, Kui Si, and Yun Cailin's extreme and stubborn personality, the previous Cloud Sky Pavilion Master did not intend to pass the position to Yun Cailin.
However, Yun Chi rejected directly.
After Yun Cailin became the Cloud Sky Pavilion Master, Yun Chi did not care about worldly affairs. Instead, she was very interested in plants and animals.
Therefore, although she was very talented and was almost 60 years old, her cultivation was still at the level of a Seven Star Grandmaster. She was much weaker than Yun Cailin.
If the core of Fissure City was the Demon Vulture Army.
Then the core of the Cloud Sky Pavilion was the crystal magic warships and the crystal power.
After the Council of Light entered the castle, Yun Chi handed over nearly 200 crystal magic warships and the command of the unsuccessful sea demon army to the Council of Light High Command Department.
Moreover, she personally handed over all the materials for the crystal power to Yang Dingtian.
All the mysterious sorcerers who were researching the crystal power also gathered and prepared to return to the West Continent.
Therefore, after Yang Dingtian's group of warriors entered the Cloud Sky Pavilion, there was not much to do.
On the other hand, Song Lihua's team of civil servants was extremely busy.
Song Chunhua of the High Command Department was also extremely busy.
The Council of Light did not participate in the internal affairs of Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
However, the reorganization of the army, the defense of the region, the allocation of personnel, and the stationing of the army all had to be replanned.
Most importantly, some of the people from the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Fissure City were transferred to the West Continent.
Some of them were transferred to other defense regions, while others were transferred to the headquarters in Xijing.
Then, the high-level warriors and civil servants of the West Continent would enter the Yingzhou Mainland as quickly as possible.
This looked more like a power grab, but it was not.
Every family did this, and the Northwest Qin City was no exception.
Moreover, these high-level warriors and civil servants had to obey the supreme commander of the defense region unconditionally in internal affairs.
Therefore, even though many of the castellans and castellans in the Northwest Qin City defense region had been replaced.
However, Qin Wanchou still had the highest authority in this region.
Of course, the Council of Light reorganized the crystal demon fleet, the Demon Eagle Army, and the Demon Dragon Army, which were extremely professional troops, but the extent was very small. They still let the most professional people command these troops.
However, the crystal demon fleet would probably be reorganized into the navy led by Qiu Wanjie.
… …
"Uncle Kui, after the Yingzhou Mainland has settled down, I hope that you can become the supreme commander of the Yingzhou Defense Region. At that time, you will be in charge of all the internal affairs of the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Fissure City, as well as military affairs and martial arts," Yang Dingtian said.
"I am not suitable," Kui Si said. "I am not talented enough. You should change to someone else."
"Cloud Pool Pavilion Leader is too weak. I really don't have anyone who can take up this position," Yang Dingtian said.
"Then you can take up the position yourself," Kui Si said.
"I am already the Cloud Sky City Lord and the supreme commander of the Northeast Defense Region. In fact, I can't even go to Cloud Sky City once a month," Yang Dingtian said. "Uncle Kui, this is not a high position.
Everything we do is to prepare for the Battle of Destruction in a few years.
If you take up this position, you might not even have time to cultivate. You might even be ten years older in the frenzy of work. "
"Then I will try," Kui Si said.
"Thank you, Uncle Kui," Yang Dingtian said.
… …
After handing over the most important authority in the shortest time possible.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion and Fissure City sent out hundreds of envoys to the Middle Continent and East Continent to announce the first announcement to the world.
The Council of Light sent out troops to punish Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
After an intense battle, all the Evil ways spies have been arrested.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion Leader Yun Cailin, who colluded with the Evil ways Ning Wuming, has been removed from his position and officially imprisoned.
Elder Yun Chi was appointed as the new Cloud Sky Pavilion Leader.
Although Fissure City Lord Kui Si had nothing to do with the Evil ways, he was not a good judge of character and was infiltrated by the Evil ways. He officially resigned from the position of Fissure City Lord.
The Great Commander of Fissure City, Kui Qing, will take over the position of Fissure City Lord.
The Evil ways spies, Yun Junnu, are officially imprisoned.
He Wanqing's identity as the Evil ways spies are still suspicious. She is also officially imprisoned pending investigation.
Immediately after, Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion announced the second announcement to the world.
Fissure City, the Cloud Sky Pavilion officially joined the Council of Light and established the Yingzhou Defense Region.
All the armies of Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion will be reorganized by the Council of Light.
All the suspects of Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion will be arrested by the Council of Light and sentenced on a later date.
Then, the Council of Light announced the third announcement.
Fissure City Lord Kui Qing and Cloud Sky Pavilion Leader Yun Chi will become executive members of the Council of Light.
Cloud Sky Pavilion Leader Yun Chi will become the fifth member of the Council of Light.
...
Ten hours later, the report reached the Middle Continent.
Zhongzhou was instantly in an uproar!
Zhu Qingzhu flew into a rage and smashed a huge stone statue in front of him into pieces.
"Despicable, shameless!
Shameless Yang Dingtian, you and I are irreconcilable! "
In front of everyone, Zhu Qingzhu roared in anger!
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had planned for a few months and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people. He had completely compromised with the Vulture Sect and started a massacre of the Evil ways.
What was his purpose?
Wasn't it to regain the power of Zhongzhou?
Wasn't it to get Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion's territory?
Now, he had killed hundreds of thousands of people. He had slaughtered all the spies of the Evil ways.
He had been a gentleman and a villain.
He had also been humiliated in front of that little bastard Lingxi and had almost signed a contract to sell himself.
He had gone through a lot of hardships, betrayed countless people, and traded many things.
He was just waiting for the final harvest.
In the end, Yang Dingtian reached out and plucked both fruits.
How could he not be mad with anger?
Aren't you, Yang Dingtian, a modest gentleman?
Aren't you, Yang Dingtian, a hypocrite?
Aren't you, Yang Dingtian, and Yun Cailin irreconcilable?
Did they get together just like that?
What about the Council of Light sending troops to the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Fissure City? What punishment? What fierce battle?
What about arresting all the spies and spies of the Evil ways?
Who the f * ck are you trying to fool?
Do you think I don't know if He Wanqing and Yun Junnu are spies of the Evil ways?
It's only the fourth day since the Vulture Sect's investigation report came out. It's only the second day since Zhongzhou decided to send troops. Not everyone has arrived yet.
Yang Dingtian, you've f * cking finished the battle?
You've f * cking taken over Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Can you f * cking fly?
Oh, you can fly, but you can't fly as fast as you.
Of course, Zhu Qingzhu was mentally prepared for the situation in West Continent.
But he didn't have a choice. He had to seize the opportunity to regain power in Zhongzhou.
He had to seize the opportunity of the conflict between West Continent and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
But the more he played, the more he played.
Although it was extremely risky for Yang Dingtian to intervene, it also made the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Fissure City even more desperate.
So, they threw themselves into Yang Dingtian's arms even more resolutely and quickly.
Moreover, Yang Dingtian was a hypocrite and had helped Zhu Qingzhu many times.
Now that he had become so cunning, it was really hard for him to predict.
...
After his rage, Zhu Qingzhu couldn't wait to declare war on Yang Dingtian.
But after he calmed down, he suddenly thought of something.
Declare war?
What was he going to use to declare war?
Yang Dingtian wasn't protecting Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
He was sending troops to occupy them.
He was also representing the Tiandō League to punish them.
Kui Si and Yun Cailin were chased out.
Evil ways' spies were all captured.
They said that after a long fierce battle, many people died, and a few thousand people were captured.
You declared war on Yang Dingtian?
With what?
Of course, there was a reason.
Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion were members of the Zhongzhou Tiandō League, and West Continent had no right to interfere.
Yang Dingtian's entry into Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion was overstepping their authority and interfering in Zhongzhou's internal affairs.
At this level, it was barely enough to start a war.
...
At night, Zhu Qingzhu sent out an envoy to visit the major forces in Zhongzhou to sound them out.
What was he trying to sound them out for?
To suppress Yang Dingtian for interfering in Zhongzhou's affairs!
Instantly, the leaders of Zhongzhou's forces were filled with righteous indignation. They strongly condemned Yang Dingtian for interfering in Zhongzhou's affairs and said that they would stand with the Black Heaven Sect.
Then, the Black Heaven Sect's envoy tried to sound them out by saying that they should organize a second crusade against Yang Dingtian.
Immediately, the leaders of Zhongzhou's forces shook their heads and said that after the last defeat, their morale was low and they really could not send out troops.
In the end, when the envoy comforted Zhu Qingzhu, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
Almost all the forces in Zhongzhou had the same attitude.
Crusade against Yang Dingtian?
Sure, we'll curse him to death!
But what about sending out troops and sending out martial artists to suppress them?
Then, then we can only support Sect Master Zhu spiritually.
Suddenly, Zhu Qingzhu had a strong impulse.
That was to use the terror attack again and destroy a few more sects to make the forces in Zhongzhou obedient.
After thinking about it, he felt that he could not take the risk.
At first, others could not see through his trick, but later, almost all the higher-ups of Zhongzhou's forces saw through it.
Damn, Evil ways' terrifying forces were just a brick. They would only appear when Zhu Qingzhu needed them.
If they should be destroyed, they should be destroyed. If they should fail, they should fail.
If they should be arrested, they should be arrested. If they should be interrogated, they should be interrogated.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Everyone knew about it before, but they did not dare to say anything because Zhu Qingzhu and Yang Dingtian were on the same side.
Now that Zhu Qingzhu was still playing the trick of destroying the Evil ways' sects, Zhongzhou's forces would really dare to invite Yang Dingtian to Zhongzhou and launch a crusade against the Evil ways.
...
Bastard!
Suddenly, Zhu Qingzhu hated all the forces in Zhongzhou to the bone.
They were really scared of Yang Dingtian. When they heard that Zhu Qingzhu was going to crusade against Yang Dingtian, they shook their heads like a rattle-drum.
"Yang Dingtian, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're playing this trick." Zhu Qingzhu locked himself in the pavilion again.
This time, he would definitely not sit by and watch Earth Fissure City and Cloud Sky Pavilion fall into Yang Dingtian's hands. He had to do something.
Otherwise, he would not only lose Earth Fissure City and Cloud Sky Pavilion, but also all his power in Zhongzhou.
If Yang Dingtian stole your fruit, there would be nothing you could do.
These people in Zhongzhou would undoubtedly look down on you.
Over the past few months, he had worked so hard to gain back the power he had gained by killing the demons with one hand of justice and the demons with the other. But now, he would lose everything.
How could he deal with Yang Dingtian?
These fence-sitters in Zhongzhou could not be relied on.
The Black Heaven Sect could not do anything to Yang Dingtian.
There were only two methods left.
The first method was to directly fall out with Yang Dingtian and announce that he was harboring Evil ways. They would openly crusade against him.
However, there was a prerequisite for that, and that was to cooperate with the Vulture Sect.
Once the Vulture Sect officially crusaded against Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian's doomsday would arrive.
Even the fence-sitters in Zhongzhou would join in and hit Yang Dingtian when he was down.
However, Zhu Qingzhu would only be a supporting character in that case. Almost all the benefits would go to the Vulture Sect.
He, Zhu Qingzhu, knew very well what kind of people the Vulture Sect was.
The second method was to raise the banner of Evil ways again. All the grandmasters of the Black Heaven Sect, Joyous Palace, Temple of Blood, and Ning Clan would join forces and attack Earth Fissure City and Cloud Sky Pavilion in the name of Evil ways' revenge. They would wipe out all of Yang Dingtian's experts there.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu would return and take off his jacket. He would change into the banner of the Tiandō League and lead the Black Heaven Sect to attack Earth Fissure City and Cloud Sky Pavilion again.
He would also play the part of taking back Earth Fissure City and Cloud Sky Pavilion after a fierce battle for several days.
However, this way, there would be more people to split the meat.
The first method was only to split the meat with the Vulture Sect.
The second method was to split the meat with the Joyous Palace, Temple of Blood, and Ning Clan.
There were only these two methods.
Zhu Qingzhu's main choice now was to split the meat with the Vulture Sect or with the three Evil ways.
He thought for an entire night and struggled for an entire night.
In the end, Zhu Qingzhu came to a decision. He would rather split the meat with the three Evil ways than with the Vulture Sect alone.
The Vulture Sect's table manners were too ugly. If they split the meat with the three Evil ways, at least there would still be meat.
If they split the meat with the Vulture Sect, there would be no bones left. There would only be soup left.
Hence, Zhu Qingzhu immediately changed his appearance and headed to the Temple of Blood and Joyous Palace to negotiate and kill Yang Dingtian together!
