Chapter 2796: Chapter 19: Glorious Battle Achievements! The Cangping God Emperor Takes Off_3

This kind of situation is not unprecedented.

However, after the rendezvous, problems arose.

On their way here, they traveled light, ensuring their movements remained hidden. Now, with a large fleet of transports, their target became extremely obvious. It seemed impossible to pass quietly through the Destroyer Devil Territory and return to the Dongxia Divine Dynasty as they had come.

Moreover, with the Great Commander Apocalypse caught up in an affair, a vast war between the Destroyer Devil Territory and the Dongxia Army was inevitable, preventing their immediate return.

After some deliberation, they decided against returning to the Eastern Dawn God Continent, opting instead to go upstream to the Giant Tribe Alliance, or perhaps even further.

Only by efficiently handling the massive military and logistical supplies could they carry a small amount of valuable goods and attempt the journey back.

The only remaining issue was that traveling upstream from Heavenly Lake to the Giant Tribe Alliance would require about a century.

Fortunately, they were all long-lived strong warriors, so a mere century was bearable.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Turning back the time a bit.

After a brilliant explosion with the Crystal Creation Crystal, Cangping God Emperor’s projection was immediately destroyed by the terrifying energy of the blast.

He didn’t even get the chance to see the final outcome of the Great Commander Apocalypse before his consciousness traversed the vast space, returning instantly to his body.

In an instant, his divine soul felt a tearing pain akin to a giant invisible claw piercing into his soul, mercilessly churning and forcibly ripping a large piece away.

"Ow~~"

Despite being a Taoist Master, with profound cultivation and extraordinary strength, Cangping God Emperor was involuntarily groaning from the immense pain.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Eunuch Old Tan, who was guarding by his side, was taken aback, quickly rushing to support Cangping God Emperor, his expression extremely anxious.

Cangping God Emperor was drenched in sweat, his complexion deathly pale, seeming severely wounded.

The intense pain from deep within his soul rendered him speechless.

Hearing Old Tan’s exclamation, the Forbidden Army guarding outside the study also rushed in, surrounding Cangping God Emperor protectively.

"Your Majesty, don’t scare me." Eunuch Old Tan’s voice was hoarse, his heart freezing, inevitably steering his thoughts towards the worst scenario.

It was apparent that the projection of His Majesty had fallen.

To know, as a Taoist Master-level strong person, even if His Majesty’s projection was only at the early Great Luo Realm, its combat power wouldn’t be inferior to a mid-stage Great Luo Realm Sacred Supreme, and even capable of battling against advanced Great Luo Realm powerhouses, not easily killed.

What significant event had happened that even His Majesty’s projection couldn’t withstand?

If His Majesty is like this, then wouldn’t Lici girl be...

"Old Tan!"

At this moment, Cangping God Emperor finally recovered from the soul-splitting pain.

He couldn’t bother explaining, suppressing the pain, rubbing his temples, and lowering his eyelids while quickly speaking in a weak tone: "Issue my imperial decree, immediately activate the emergency communication method, summon Marshal Ji’s projection to meet me."

As the commander-in-chief of the East Dawn Void Sea Battlefield, Ji Taichang naturally left projection energy in the Dingyun Divine Palace, ready to be projected anytime to discuss matters personally with Cangping God Emperor.

However, each projection summoning consumed a lot of resources and Mysterious Energy, used only in urgency.

Cangping God Emperor’s reign of tens of thousands of years had seen this emergency communication method used sparingly, each time for crucial matters affecting the Dongxia Divine Dynasty’s fate.

Upon hearing this order, Eunuch Old Tan’s heart skipped a beat, momentarily muddled, his legs growing weak.

He hurriedly responded with a nod and ran off to summon Marshal Ji’s projection.

Shortly thereafter, elsewhere in the Dingyun Divine Palace.

Inside a heavily restricted small secret hall, following the depletion of two Chaos Spirit Stones and dozens of Immortal Spirit Stone energies from the Formation, a projection was urgently summoned.

A white-haired old general appeared, radiating authority without anger.

He had a square face and broad nose, his eyebrows prominently arched, with sharp, rigid lines across his jaw, appearing unapproachably formidable.

Even at his advanced age, his demeanor showed no signs of gentleness, instead hardened by the furrowed brows, making him more stern and unapproachable.

Summoned amidst attending to duties, he was dressed impeccably, his towering form clad in heavy armor, exuding a fierce aura filling the entire hall.

Even the guards at the entrance instinctively lowered their heads, showing respect and reverence.

Clearly, this old general was the Tranquil Sky Divine King, Ji Taichang.

"Eunuch Tan, His Majesty summoned me in such urgency for what purpose?" Ji Taichang queried in a deep voice, his tone appearing somewhat complex.

He had already received emergency communication from his family, aware of the disgraceful actions his kin Ji Kunlun had committed.

Considering the time, Ji Kunlun should be being escorted to the Divine Capital by now. He instinctively felt that the summoning was due to Ji Kunlun’s affair, feeling mildly discontent.

He was constantly troubled at the Void Sea Battlefield, managing numerous affairs daily. With Ji Kunlun’s deeds proven, handling it by law was sufficient—why summon him back specifically?
