Free Web NovelChapter 1020: Chapter 1018: What Gives You the Right to Declare War
After the declaration of war was announced, many human cultivators were exhilarated and were rushing to the Ancient Road battlefield.
"For people like us, it is our duty to drive out the Divine Clan and slay them, and to bring peace to the Human Clan’s turmoil..."
"I’m going."
"Goodbye!"
"If I don’t come back, please erect a clothes and crown tomb for me."
After bidding farewell to their families, they set off one after another.
Looking at the dim sky, they moved with determination...
At Wuji Sect, everyone was on high alert.
Hongxiu stood at the forefront, staring into the distance. She keenly felt that terrifying oppression—there were not just one or two Emperor Realms, but three or five.
They were approaching from different directions, moving swiftly.
Finally, they reached the vicinity of Wuji Sect, but... they didn’t make a move immediately. They looked at the sky, seemingly waiting for something.
The hearts of thousands in Wuji Sect were heavy, extremely oppressed, and very tense.
"They’ve really come." Zhuge Wushuang took a sharp breath, his expression grave.
Given Wuji Sect’s current strength, even facing just one or two Emperor Realms was burdensome; now five had come all at once.
From the direction on the far left, on top of a high mountain.
It was an Emperor Realm shrouded in black mist, with no visible true form, making it impossible to discern whether it was a Human Emperor or a Divine Emperor.
The second one coming from the right direction had a restrained aura, a solemn appearance, and an immensely oppressive presence, as if an immortal monument pressing down between heaven and earth.
In the middle was a woman of unmatched beauty and elegance. She stood there, with the breeze blowing, her long hair fluttering, resembling a fairy descending to earth.
The fourth one was an elderly man, with somewhat weak blood energy, but with profound eyes and the most intense emperor might...
The fifth was a young man in white, with red lips and white teeth, a slight smile on his lips, exuding an eerie delight.
"No one familiar," Zhuge Wushuang murmured.
This is the biggest problem.
"How long have we lived?" Hongxiu spoke, "These Emperors in front of us have lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years, if not longer. It’s normal not to recognize them."
"Can Emperors really live that long?" Zhuge Wushuang envied.
"Once you verify the Tao, you can too."
"It’s tough!" He shook his head.
Chen Pingping has already verified the Tao, condensed the Tao Fruit, and his mark has occupied the heart of the Heavenly Dao, not fading for at least tens of thousands of years.
By that time, would he not have already fallen? freewebnoveℓ.com
Hongxiu said, "There’s a chance."
Throughout history, there have been numerous cultivators who survived even without verifying the Tao.
Furthermore, the Wen Dynasty back then had more than one Emperor Realm.
While the two Wuji Sect leaders were chatting about everyday things, Jiang Ni’er came running urgently: "There’s a problem, they’re suppressing Heavenly Fortune Tao."
Hongxiu: "???"
"Act quickly, we must stop them," Jiang Ni’er said anxiously. "Once Shisan loses his battle with that person, Shisan will be annihilated, and we will lose control of the ’Sword,’ which is a fatal problem for us!"
The two exchanged glances and then looked forward.
They were puzzled! Why hadn’t these five acted? So that’s the issue.
But?
All five were Emperor Realms, their strength unfathomable. Who could stop them? freēwēbnovel.com
Hongxiu observed for a long while and spoke: "Hongxiu, Sect Master of the Human Wuji Sect, greets the five seniors."
Heh!
The Young Emperor chuckled: "Was it you who declared war on the Ancient City?"
"Yes..." Hongxiu did not hide it, then said, "However, I declared war not on the Ancient City, but on the Divine Clan."
"Commendable courage," the Young Emperor replied. "If you retreat to Huangzhou and return to the Southern Diaspora, we can let bygones be bygones."
He was handsome and slender, but every word and action resonated with heaven and earth, with faint traces of Dharma Principle fluctuations, astonishingly.
Though in the Great Emperor Realm, he seemed about to break through to the Heaven Emperor Realm?
Hongxiu looked at him: "Today, Wuji Sect stands here and declares war on the Divine Clan, with no intention of retreating."
She was incredibly determined on this point.
This was the path left by Wen Yuqing, the direction Chen Pingping was committed to, and the purpose for which Wuji Sect was born.
Retreat?
She would absolutely not retreat, even if it meant being shattered into pieces, even if everyone perished here.
Perceiving Hongxiu’s determination, the Young Emperor suddenly laughed: "Ignorant, arrogant, and conceited. Based on your current strength? You wish to go beyond the Ancient City and challenge the Divine Clan?"
He sneered: "Did you see the five of us?"
Hongxiu remained silent.
Everyone felt oppressed.
"Five Emperor Realms, this is just the tip of the iceberg..." he sneered continuously: "If it weren’t for orders, a single slap from this emperor would suffice to annihilate you."
"So? How do you plan to face the Ancient City?"
"Relying on your ridiculous passion? Your ignorance? Or on your so-called numbers advantage?"
"Do you plan to use a huge-crowd strategy to topple the Ancient City?" His undisguised sarcasm echoed across the land like a vast bell sound.
The human cultivators rushing over to support clearly heard it all.
The blood that had just surged with excitement was suddenly extinguished, and many human cultivators calmed down.
Right!
On what basis to declare war?
What does the Human Clan have now?
What does Wuji Sect have?
Just one Chen Pingping?
But in the Ancient City Alliance, there are far more than one Emperor Realm! They also have Heaven Emperor Realms guarding them, possessing immense power, invincible in their era.
If they took action, three or five people alone could annihilate the entire human world.
"Anyway, since we’re here, let’s go have a look first..." someone said.
From above, from all directions, people were flocking towards the Ancient City and swiftly heading towards Wuji Sect.
In the crowd, Yue Wuxia suddenly cursed: "Just an Emperor Realm, daring to make grand claims here, I’ll go and cut him down." She swiftly approached with the Ugly Sword.
Others heard her voice and looked towards her, but her speed was too fast, disappearing in an instant.
"Who is that? Sounds very arrogant."
"Looks familiar!"
"Could it be some unknown peerless powerhouse?"
"Let’s go, check it out..." A few were drawn by her.
At Wuji Sect, the atmosphere became more oppressive.
Among the thousands, no one dared to retort, because it was the truth.
Of course, it was fortunate that the one from the Qingfeng lineage here was Jiang Ni’er. If it were Li Qi, Zi Ji, or Xiaoyu, someone might have swung a sword by now.
They had been following Chen Pingping for some time, learning certain things from him, such as striking first, regardless of whether they could match the opponent.
Retreat if you can’t win.
On the side, witnessing this scene, Jiang Ni’er felt heavy-hearted: "They are buying time, suppressing the Heavenly Fortune Tao, so that Shisan will fail. Ultimately, Wuji Sect cannot escape destiny."
Hahaha...
Seeing no one speak, the Young Emperor’s laughter became more unrestrained, arrogant, filled with cold indifference, looking down on Wuji Sect below: "I thought Wuji Sect was something, but it’s just this... compared to the Wen Dynasty of yore, you’re way off."
Again, a bout of merciless ridiculing.
Countless faces flushed red with anger, yet dared not speak.
At this moment, a young person couldn’t help but retort: "The Qingfeng lineage isn’t here, but if a single one were present, would you dare utter such grand words?"
