299: Operation Thousand Doors

“Who dares to harm my precious grandson!”

An ancient voice suddenly rang out from the horizon, and a Thunder Calamity Realm Old Ancestor appeared above Zhenbei Pass.

With the appearance of the Wang Family Old Ancestor, the Sun Family, Zhao Family, Qi Family, and other Families, over twenty Undergoing Tribulation cultivators and a host of Mahayana cultivators also appeared out of thin air.

With a wave of his hand, the spatial cracks in Zhenbei Pass were instantly smoothed over.

After arranging their respective Family disciples, they faced off against the Great Abyss from afar.

It seemed a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The appearance of these Family Old Ancestors forced the Due Holy Master to swallow the words of retreat that were already on his lips.

We have twenty-three Undergoing Tribulation cultivators, while the opponent only has sixteen; the great advantage is ours!

In the distant Void Realm, Yao General, hidden in the shadows, watched this scene, his brows tightly furrowed:

“Fire God, things seem to be getting a bit out of control.”

Fire God remained calm and composed: “It’s good for it to be a big commotion. The bigger it is, the more opportunities we’ll have.”

Wind General: “How about we seize the opportunity to fan the flames and make them fight?”

Fire God shook his head: “Gu Liangyuan hasn’t appeared yet, so we’re not in a hurry.”

Everyone nodded.

After a long standoff, Lü Qingmei took the initiative to speak:

“Everyone from the Ancient Ink Dynasty, what is the meaning of this?”

“Can I interpret this as Mo Emperor seeing that the Fu Long Court was about to lose and starting to play dirty?”

Those Family members exchanged glances, and the Sun Family Ancestor nodded and spoke:

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The wager mentioned the Fu Long Court, but there was no clear statement on how to support it. Is it not reasonable for an Undergoing Tribulation cultivator like me to support the Fu Long Court?”

Finally, the Sun Family Ancestor added:

“We are following Your Majesty’s decree.”

Inside the Gu Mo Imperial Palace, Mo Emperor watched this scene, and the anger that he had just managed to quell flared up again.

You went on your own, yet you just had to drag me into it!

“These old geezers, they just have to ruin my reputation, don’t they!”

Those with discernment would quickly realize that if Mo Emperor had broken the agreement, with the Heavenly Dao contract in place, heavenly thunder would have already descended.

But how many discerning people are there in the world?

Most people believe that what they hear is the truth.

They secretly cursed Mo Emperor for lacking the demeanor of an emperor, for going back on his word, truly a petty person!

Lü Qingmei was so angry that she laughed instead: “So you are willing to be Mo Emperor’s pawns and go against our Dao Alliance?”

Lü Qingmei’s words almost explicitly stated that Mo Emperor intended to use this to deplete the strength of both sides; if the two sides fought, the ultimate beneficiary could only be Mo Emperor.

Lü Qingmei originally thought that by saying this, the other party would be somewhat apprehensive.

But Lü Qingmei underestimated the arrogance of these Families.

Except for a few who hesitated, most of them showed disdain on their faces.

Lü Qingmei understood their meaning from their expressions: they believed that the Dao Alliance was not qualified to be their opponent.

They, these Families, would not suffer too much damage because of a Dao Alliance.

Lü Qingmei hesitated, seeing that the opposite side clearly had the numerical advantage.

“Light Eyebrow, I’m here.”

Yang Qiong’s voice suddenly rang out from a distance.

Immediately after, she arrived with four Undergoing Tribulation cultivators.

Among these four Undergoing Tribulation cultivators, there was also a strong cultivator from the Fire Calamity Realm.

These four Undergoing Tribulation cultivators were the Old Ancestors from the Hidden Families of the Dao Alliance.

Thus, the opponent had twenty-three Thunder Calamity Realm cultivators, while the Dao Alliance had twenty Undergoing Tribulation cultivators, including three from the Fire Calamity Realm.

They could fight!

Seeing the Dao Alliance’s stance, those Family Old Ancestors frowned slightly.

The reason for their frown was not anything else, but rather their confusion: where was Gu Liangyuan?

But they no longer had time to ponder.

“Fight!”

With Lü Qingmei’s command, the wind and clouds surged in an instant!

As the Undergoing Tribulation mighty figures made their moves, the heavens and earth within tens of thousands of miles around Zhenbei Pass changed accordingly.

Sometimes the sun and moon were in the sky together, sometimes there were ten thousand miles of thunderclouds.

There were colossal palms reaching the sky, appearing in the Void Realm.

There were Divine Beast Dharmakayas, roaring towards the sky!

Various Laws intertwined, and several strands of Heaven and Earth Origin were interspersed among them.

Under the influence of Laws and Origin, mountains and rivers also changed.

One moment, green water flowed, and ten thousand mountains were like Dragons.

The next moment, a vast desert with a scorching sun overhead.

A moment ago, it was a boundless flood with towering waves.

Now, it was a scorched land for a thousand miles, with volcanoes erupting.

These people fought to their heart’s content, and Qianqiu and the others also took the opportunity to escape their battle range, but the Mortals of this place suffered greatly.

For these Great Divine Ability users, a single word could cause millions of Mortals to die.

Although there was boundless Karma, these people did not care at all.

Those from the Families held official positions in Ancient Mo to varying degrees, protected by Ancient Mo’s Luck, so Karma did not cling to them.

Of course, this non-clinging only meant that it did not cling to themselves; it was eliminated by the Ancient Ink Dynasty’s Luck Golden Dragon at the cost of consuming Luck.

On the Dao Alliance’s side, all their myriad sins fell upon Gu Liangyuan, so they acted without scruple.

It was Qianqiu, however, who looked at this scene, which was like the end of the world for Mortals, and two clear tears flowed from her eyes.

These Mortals included outsiders and also her own people.

She instinctively wanted to turn her head away and not look at all of it.

But she suppressed this instinct and made herself engrave this scene firmly in her mind.

After a long time, her gaze became firm again:

“There will always be wars. For the peace of all generations, let this generation fight all the wars!”

After saying this, although Qianqiu’s cultivation did not Breakthrough, her Emperor’s Heart was polished to become even more perfect.

The two sides fought a great battle, with victories and casualties on both sides.

Overall, they were in a state of equilibrium.

Watching the anxious crowd, Fire God, who had been hidden in the dark, suddenly spoke:

“Now is the time!”

Before he finished speaking, he formed hand seals, and a large blade hovered above his head.

With a shake, the large blade split into nine.

As his voice fell, the nine large blades slashed towards the nine disciples of Forget-Love Peak!

The large blades were extremely fast, appearing almost instantly above Qianqiu and the others.

At the tail of each large blade was a long black streak of light.

Looking closely, this black streak of light was the space that had been torn apart.

Nine spatial cracks traversed the sky, seemingly wanting to divide the blue sky into nine parts.

Just as these large blades were about to strike, Fire God suddenly felt his hair stand on end!

A life-and-death crisis surged into his heart.

He no longer cared about attacking, his figure flickered, and he appeared tens of thousands of miles away.

After escaping, before he could even catch his breath, he felt his right arm empty.

He turned his head to look, only to see that his right arm had been severed.

It was covered in blood, with white bone visible.

Fire God cultivated both body and Dao, and had long surpassed the realm of limb regeneration.

He wanted to circulate his Qi and blood to make it regrow, but found that the wound was covered by a sharp Sword Qi, like a maggot in the bone, continuously devouring his flesh and blood.

The power of Qi and blood he mobilized could only prevent it from spreading further, but was unable to make his limb regenerate immediately.

To remove it, he would have to slowly recuperate.

Understanding all of this, he looked back and saw Gu Liangyuan standing in the air, holding the Tai Xuan Sword which was already out of its sheath.

In front of Qianqiu and the others stood a Barefoot Girl.

The moves he had used had already been neutralized by this Barefoot Girl.
