414: Go and kill Gu Liangyuan!

Coming back to his senses, Gu Liangyuan looked at the Xuan Du Peak Disciples and Elders below.

He found that these people were staring blankly at the Three Corpse Ancestors. It wasn't that zombies had never appeared in the Cultivation World before.

There were even Sects that relied on controlling zombies for their livelihood, but zombies like the Three Corpse Ancestors, they hadn't just never seen, they hadn't even heard of them.

The power of the Three Corpse Ancestors even made them somewhat afraid.

Because a similar incident had occurred in the Eastern Continent: a Void Refinement Realm zombie had annihilated three nations overnight, leading an army of a million zombies to sweep across the land.

Later, it took five Mahayana Cultivators working together to quell this catastrophe.

By the time the catastrophe was quelled, that zombie's cultivation had already reached Lianxu Peak.

If it had advanced further, perhaps only an Undergoing Tribulation old monster could have subdued it.

And the three zombies in Gu Liangyuan's hands, even Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators couldn't last a single exchange against them!

They were likely already comparable to Loose Immortals; once out of control, the Five Continents might all fall!

"What are you standing around for? Get to work!"

Gu Liangyuan's voice brought everyone back to their senses.

That's right, if it were anyone else, it might be different, but what kind of existence was the Alliance Leader?

Fighting Mo Emperor, destroying Holy Lands, killing Loose Immortals!

Lawless, with unparalleled combat power!

Most importantly, the Alliance Leader was insidious!

Since the Alliance Leader dared to use these three zombies, he must have at least a trump card that could instantly kill them.

Understanding this, everyone stopped hesitating and began to work diligently.

Moving the boundary markers was easy, but expanding the Formation was not simple.

The Six Harmonies Grand Formation was a top-tier Immortal Formation; moving one part affected the whole, so even just relocating it was a significant undertaking.

Watching the slow progress of the crowd, Gu Liangyuan looked at the Three Corpse Ancestors, who had just broken through another pass, and instantly vanished in a flash.

Half an hour later, Gu Liangyuan arrived outside the Grand Formation, holding Song Xianer.

The bewildered Song Xianer was somewhat confused.

Where did he bring me?

One moment she was cultivating, the next she felt her vision go dark and was brought here by Gu Liangyuan.

It wasn't until Gu Liangyuan explained everything that she finally understood.

Knowing that the battlefield changed rapidly, she directly descended from the clouds and took over command.

Song Xianer's Formation mastery was far superior to that of these Elders; under her command, the Grand Formation began to expand smoothly.

Gu Liangyuan was satisfied; at crucial moments, it still had to be his Disciple.

Boom!

Another sound, like muffled thunder, rang out. Of the five passes of East Dipper Pass, another one was broken!

At the same time, inside the Gu Mo Imperial Palace.

Mo Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, with civil and military officials arrayed on both sides.

A military general reported:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to reports from our secret agents, the situation is exactly as Your Majesty predicted. After these Holy Land individuals returned from the Eastern Continent, they successively announced their joining of the Dao Alliance."

"I have already dispatched a general to negotiate as per Your Majesty's instructions. It shouldn't be long before these Holy Land members submit to Ancient Mo's military might and withdraw from the Dao Alliance!"

Mo Emperor smiled:

"That is excellent."

A sycophantic minister, seeing the smile on Mo Emperor's face, seized the opportunity to flatter him:

"Our Ancient Mo has stood in the Central Continent for ten thousand years, its formidable power deeply ingrained in people's hearts."

"Gu Liangyuan has risen for only a few years; how can he compare his prestige with Your Majesty's?"

Mo Emperor, upon hearing this, was indeed greatly pleased.

Gu Liangyuan had almost become his Heart Demon; what he liked to hear most was others saying that Gu Liangyuan was inferior to him.

It seemed that only by doing so could he find some solace.

Of course, it couldn't be just empty praise.

The words of the minister below perfectly aligned with Mo Emperor's thoughts.

At this time, the imperial court rarely had aristocratic family Disciples; it was almost entirely Mo Emperor's personal domain.

The appointment and dismissal of officials were merely a word from him.

Seeing Mo Emperor's joy, everyone began to flatter him, one after another, making Mo Emperor beam with delight.

"Report!"

An urgent cry of report instantly silenced the bustling hall.

Everyone was familiar with this sound; it only occurred when there was an urgent military situation.

Mo Emperor's heart sank, and a premonition of ill omen surged within him:

"Has there been a change in the Southwest Two Passes?"

The soldier shook his head.

Seeing this, Mo Emperor let out a long breath and leisurely sat down, his face no longer anxious, reverting to his lofty imperial demeanor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is normal in the Southwest Two Passes. However, three of the five passes of East Dipper Pass have been breached. Please send troops to reinforce them immediately!"

"What!"

Mo Emperor was greatly alarmed. Although he had already guessed, he still asked with a glimmer of hope:

"Do you know who did it?"

"Did you see Gu Liangyuan?"

The soldier shook his head: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Gu Liangyuan was not seen."

Mo Emperor had just breathed a sigh of relief when the soldier added:

"But Gu Liangyuan's Halberd Soldiers and Halberd Generals were seen."

Mo Emperor: "I * * * ##!"

Will you die if you don't pause when speaking?!

Mo Emperor's mood fluctuated wildly. He looked down and saw that the civil and military officials who had just been flattering him were now all hanging their heads, silent.

Watching this scene, Mo Emperor felt a surge of anger and slammed his hand on the armrest:

"Look at yourselves, not a single one of you has the bearing of an Ancient Mo subject!"

"Where's that excitement you had just now?"

"As soon as you hear Gu Liangyuan's name, you all wilt?"

"I don't even know what you're afraid of?"

The ministers remained silent, but they were grumbling inwardly.

Afraid of what?

The last time Gu Liangyuan came, he practically slaughtered the entire imperial court!

Who isn't afraid?

You, Mo Zichu, aren't afraid?

What's the use of just shouting slogans here?

If you have the guts, go fight Gu Liangyuan!

Of course, these people only dared to grumble inwardly; no one dared to speak out.

At this moment, Mo Emperor was also thinking rapidly.

How dare he?

How dare Gu Liangyuan do this?

Mo Emperor had coveted the Eastern Continent for a long time, so he had naturally been investigating it.

According to the accurate information he had obtained, the Undergoing Tribulation powerhouses in the Eastern Continent were mainly concentrated in the Holy Lands.

Even with the Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators from other major Sects, no matter how you calculated it, they wouldn't reach a hundred.

Among them, eighty percent were also in the Thunder Calamity Realm.

Moreover, during the Fu Long Court war, there were not a few Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators who died or were injured in the Eastern Continent's internal conflict.

And their Ancient Mo had profound foundations. Even though many aristocratic family members had died, Ancient Mo's Undergoing Tribulation powerhouses were still several times more numerous than those in the Eastern Continent!

The numbers and strength of people in other realms also completely crushed the Eastern Continent.

What Gu Liangyuan should be doing now isn't taking advantage of this rare period of non-war to recuperate?

Why did he even take the initiative to attack?

"Report!"

"Four of the five passes of East Dipper have been breached, with only one pass desperately holding on! Please send troops to reinforce immediately!"

Another piece of bad news arrived.

At this moment, a civil official, head held high, spoke:

"Your Majesty should immediately send troops!"

"I surmise that Gu Liangyuan guessed that the Immortals from the Immortal Realm would not spare him, and knowing his end was near, he resorted to desperate measures by attacking East Dipper Pass."

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty only needs to hold him off until the Immortals descend to the Lower Realm, and the crisis will resolve itself!"

Mo Emperor's eyes flickered. At this critical juncture, he had no time for careful thought:

"Minister Qian's words are reasonable. It shall be as Minister Qian says."

"Minister, you shall be the Marshal, Bai Zhan the vanguard, leading twelve great generals, and commanding fifteen... no, commanding three hundred thousand elite soldiers, to immediately march to East Dipper Pass!"

The civil official named Qian was dumbfounded. He pointed at himself, somewhat disbelieving:

"Me?"

Mo Emperor nodded:

"That's right, you go and take care of Gu Liangyuan!"
