When Mo Wushang and the others returned to the Cangxuan Hall, Lin Li and Huo Ming had already passed the news to Long Tianba.
Although they had not been able to meet Long Tianba directly, Long Tianba had already arranged for trusted aides in the Cangxuan City to wait for news from Yao Yue at all times. They had a connection that no one else knew about!
Therefore, Long Tianba and Long Aoyuan were also planning how to deal with the upcoming situation!
When they received news that Yao Yue had killed Mo Ye, they knew that the enmity between the Cangxuan Hall and Yao Yue had deepened and could no longer be resolved peacefully.
Originally, they had wanted to rush to the Yuefengge as soon as possible and meet up with Yao Yue!
After all, they were family!
But now that He Wei was pregnant, it was not suitable for her to rush around. They felt that it was not the right time!
"Father, I believe that the hall is already discussing how to kill Yue Er. What do you think we should do?" Long Aoyuan asked Long Tianba with a worried expression.
Long Tianba frowned and sighed, "Yue Er sent someone to inform us so that we can make a decision as soon as possible. He knows that the hall wants to deal with him, so he will definitely be on his guard. Now that He Wei is pregnant with our Long family's child, I don't want anything to happen to her no matter what." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Escort He Wei away and find a remote place to live. We don't want anyone to make an issue out of us!"
"Then what about you, father?" Long Aoyuan asked.
"I have to stay, or you won't be able to leave!" Long Tianba said resolutely.
"Father, if you want to stay, then we'll stay together!" Long Aoyuan replied.
"Nonsense! Do you want to see the entire Long Family die before you're satisfied?!"
Long Tianba scolded. Then, he said earnestly, "Your two brothers are dead, and Yue'Er can only stay in the Asura Sect. Although Yue'Er is close to us, his surname is not Long. Therefore, you and He Wei must take care of the child in your womb. Only then will he be able to survive for the sake of our bloodline. As for Yue'Er, I will not let any harm come to him!"
Long Aoyuan could tell that his father had already made up his mind, and it was impossible for him to change his mind.
He could only follow his father's wishes!
Before the Cangxuan Hall could make any arrangements, Long Aoyuan brought He Wei to visit the He clan in Cangxuan City.
However, they soon disappeared after arriving in Cangxuan City.
The person who was secretly following them immediately returned to report to the peak master of the Wood Xuan Peak, Mo Sen!
Due to Mo Ye's disappearance, Mo Sen had been in a rather bad mood recently. When he heard that Long Aoyuan and He Wei had disappeared, he was so angry that he slapped the person to death on the spot.
"Trash, you can't even follow one person. What's the point of keeping you around!" Mo Sen shouted angrily.
Fortunately, he knew that Long Tianba was still in the Cangxuan Hall, so he didn't completely go berserk!
He reported this matter to Mo Wushang, who then ordered Long Junyue to temporarily put Long Tianba under house arrest to prevent Long Tianba from leaking information to Yao Yue!
Then, Mo Wushang, Shiping, and the other two elders led a group of people and charged towards Yue Feng City!
This large-scale expedition was definitely the largest operation that the Cangxuan Hall had undertaken in the past hundred years!
Yao Yue and the others had already returned to Yue Feng City. He knew very well that the Cangxuan Hall would definitely not take this lying down and would definitely come to flatten the Yuefengge. Yue Feng City was their primary target, so he had to make preparations to defend it in advance!
Therefore, Yao Yue ordered people to stop the transfer array and forbid anyone from using it. He was afraid that the Cangxuan Hall would suddenly attack.
He planned to set up a formation outside the city walls. He believed that using a formation to defend against the enemy was definitely the best way!
With Yao Yue's current attainments in formations, it wouldn't be difficult for him to set up a fifty to sixty percent Emperor Formation.
The power of this Emperor Formation should be more than enough to defend against the Cangxuan Hall's invasion!
However, before he set up the formation, he first returned to the Yuefengge and gave the Emperor Bone to Zhuge Tianji.
When Zhuge Tianji received the Emperor Bone, he cried out in joy, "Pavilion master, you're really my lucky star!
I can't believe you managed to get the Emperor Bone. Haha, thank you so much! "
For Zhuge Tianji, who had been stuck at the half-step Emperor realm for many years, the Emperor Bone was undoubtedly a timely gift. It would greatly benefit him in his quest to become a Great Emperor!
"As long as Mister likes it!"
Yao Yue smiled. He then told Zhuge Tianji about what had happened at Black Demon Cliff, before asking, "Mister, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"
"You actually dared to kill someone from the Cangxuan Hall. How bold!"
Zhuge Tianji raised his eyebrows and exclaimed. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Do you know why the Cangxuan Hall is one of the overlords of the Four Great Sage Lands?"
"It's naturally because they're strong enough!" Yao Yue replied.
"That's right. They're strong enough, but not to the extent that you think they are!" Zhuge Tianji revealed a grim expression.
"Could it be that they have a true Great Emperor?" Yao Yue asked with a frown.
"Half-step Emperors often appear. Becoming a Great Emperor isn't an unattainable dream!
Back then, the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends were nothing more than bandits. Even some of them managed to become Great Emperors, let alone the Sacred Grounds!
You mustn't underestimate the geniuses of the world! "Zhuge Tianji said.
"If that's the case, won't Yue Feng City be protected?
Will the Yuefengge have no choice but to hole up and hide? "Yao Yue asked with an ugly expression.
"In theory, that's the case. Without a Great Emperor, the Leaping Phoenix Pavilion can only wait patiently and hide from the public. Once their strength reaches the Great Emperor Realm, they can only fight again!" Zhuge Tianji said.
"Theoretically?
What about in reality? "Yao Yue pondered over Zhuge Tianji's words and suddenly asked.
He believed that as the all-knowing Zhuge Tianji who knew everything, he might have a way to solve it.
"In reality, there's still a glimmer of hope in this danger. As for whether or not that hope appears, it'll depend on luck!" Zhuge Tianji said mysteriously.
"Where's the hope?" Yao Yue's eyes lit up.
"The hope lies with your mother!" Zhuge Tianji said seriously.
Yao Yue was instantly stunned!
Yao Yue appeared in Yue Feng City once again and began to set up an Emperor Array defense.
He planned to set up an Emperor Array in the City Lord's Mansion and outside the city walls as soon as possible. He had to rely on himself to block the first wave of attacks from the Cangxuan Hall. As for whether a Great Emperor would appear, everything would depend on fate!
An Emperor Array was an extremely complicated and profound array. Yao Yue had to set up two Emperor Arrays by himself, which consumed a lot of energy. At the same time, he also needed a large number of mid-grade Primal Stones as a foundation to support the two arrays!
Yao Yue had gained a lot over the years, but he still felt the pinch of having to use a large number of Primal Stones to set up the arrays!
"After this period, it seems that I'll have to find a few Primal Stones to replenish my Primal Stones," Yao Yue thought to himself.
While Yao Yue was setting up the arrays, the city had entered a state of strictest defense. The members of the Dark Dragon Group had become the city's law enforcers, patrolling the streets from time to time.
Although the Dark Dragon Group had only been in the Sacred Ground for a short period of time, they had been trained by Tu Dahu and were all elites among the Kings. Xiao Zhan, Duan Tao, and Yan Yan had also been heavily groomed. They had each received a coffin from Yao Yue!
The coffin sounded ominous, but when they received it, they were all grinning from ear to ear!
This was because these coffins came from Lonely Fiend City and contained the inheritance of a Great Emperor. It was undoubtedly a very precious spiritual item to them!
At the same time, Yao Yue also suggested that whoever could become an upper-grade Yuan King first would be rewarded with a similar coffin. There was a limit to the number of coffins, so whoever reached first would get it!
Yao Yue's actions had undoubtedly greatly increased the motivation of the Dark Dragon Group to improve their cultivation!
In the Dark Dragon Group, besides Tu Dahu, Xiao Zhan, Duan Tao, and Yan Yan had all become half-step Sovereigns. It was only a matter of time before they broke through to the Emperor Stage!
At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the city.
It was a group of black cavalry. From afar, they looked neat and well-trained!
Tu Dahu, who was on top of the city walls, immediately became alert.
His body immediately emitted a thick blood aura as he held a large saber in his hand and looked at the newcomers seriously. At the same time, the members of the Dark Dragon Group and the newly recruited guards also became alert!
Yao Yue stopped what he was doing and appeared beside Tu Dahu.
"Pavilion Master, are they from Cangxuan Hall?
They don't seem like it! "Tu Dahu asked doubtfully.
Yao Yue replied. "They don't seem to be from Cangxuan Hall, but we can't rule out the possibility that they are here to be the vanguard!"
"Let me ask them who they are then!"
Tu Dahu said before rushing out. He shouted at the group of Black Knights, "Yuefeng City is temporarily sealed. Everyone, stop!"
Tu Dahu's aura was extraordinary, and his momentum was so great that the black cavalry stopped in their tracks.
The person at the front rode a Black Demon Tiger and said, "I am Hei Da of the Black Cavalry Gang. I am here to look for Zhang Mengfei. Please make an exception!"
"Hei Da of the Black Cavalry Gang?" Tu Dahu was puzzled. He turned to look at Yao Yue and asked for Yao Yue's opinion.
Tu Dahu knew about the Black Cavalry Gang. After all, it was the faction closest to them. However, he did not know how it was related to Zhang Mengfei.
Yao Yue nodded and said, "Let them come over."
Yao Yue was sure that this group of people was not bad, but they did not pose much of a threat to him. Moreover, he knew that something had happened between Zhang Mengfei and Hei Da.
When Hei Da's group approached, Yao Yue looked at Hei Da and asked, "Why are you here to look for Mengfei?"
When Hei Da saw how young Yao Yue was, he said with disdain, "Young man, you should ask Zhang Mengfei to come out. You have no right to ask about this."
Yao Yue was much stronger than Hei Da. Hei Da could not see through Yao Yue's strength. He only felt that Yao Yue was too young to be that strong. Hence, he did not think much of Yao Yue.
"How dare you! This is our Yuefengge Pavilion Master. What is he not allowed to ask about?" Tu Dahu reprimanded.
"What? He, he is the Yuefengge Pavilion Master?"
Hei Da and the group of people behind him all looked at Yao Yue in surprise. Their eyes were filled with deep suspicion!
"Of course," Yao Yue said with a smile.
