419: Big Zhou enters the game

Outside Xi Dou Pass, within the main hall of the Adamantine Holy Land, the West Desert's high-ranking officials were gathered.

All eyes were on a young man in the center of the hall.

This person, dressed in Ancient Mo official robes, had an arrogant expression:

"Think about it yourselves. Time is running out for you."

"Previously, Your Majesty didn't make a move on the West Desert because he was wary of Rulai Holy Land. Rulai Holy Land has already been destroyed. Do you think you can withstand the might of Ancient Mo's army?"

"Withdrawing from the Dao Alliance is your only way to survive."

"Killing Gu Liangyuan is difficult, but killing you… hehe."

The envoy didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the threatening tone in his voice.

The Lord of the Adamantine Holy Land's eyes widened. If looks could kill, he would have killed this envoy ten thousand times over!

This envoy was too arrogant!

If these words had come from Mo Emperor, everyone wouldn't have thought much of it, as Mo Emperor had the right to say them.

How dare you, a mere envoy!

But recalling Gu Liangyuan's instructions, and to avoid alerting the enemy, the Adamantine Holy Lord forcibly suppressed his anger.

The rest of the people also kept their eyes down, pretending not to hear the envoy's words.

Seeing this, the Ancient Mo envoy only took it as a sign of their guilt and became even more presumptuous:

"Silence is useless. To prevent the complete extinction of your Holy Land Legacies, it's better to make a decision soon."

"Everything I've said is from your perspective, considering your best interests."

The Adamantine Holy Lord closed his eyes, his prayer beads clattering in his hands. Just as he was about to lose his temper, a clear light flashed, landing and transforming into a young man.

The young man knelt on one knee before the Adamantine Holy Lord:

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, the troops outside Xi Dou Pass have withdrawn. It seems the Alliance Leader succeeded."

Upon hearing this, the Adamantine Holy Lord stood up abruptly, taking a step forward. His figure flickered, and he appeared before the Ancient Mo envoy.

The young man hadn't deliberately hidden his report, and the Ancient Mo envoy heard it clearly.

At this moment, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He retreated repeatedly, trying to distance himself from the Adamantine Holy Lord.

Bang!

What greeted him was a powerful, heavy punch.

With one punch, stars swam before his eyes.

The Adamantine Holy Lord looked at the fallen Ancient Mo envoy, his single palm pressed to his chest:

"Amitabha, the Buddha will forgive me."

Slap!

Before he finished speaking, another loud slap landed on the Ancient Mo envoy.

"Don't…"

"Stop…"

"Don't… stop."

The people in the hall swarmed forward, beating the envoy to death, only then feeling satisfied.

The Adamantine Holy Lord extended a hand, and a nine-ringed Zen staff materialized out of thin air.

Bang!

The tip of the staff struck the ground, and the earth trembled.

"West Desert Cultivators, follow me to break through the pass!"

"Break through!"

"Break through!"

"Break through!"

Accompanied by shouts like mountains collapsing, five hundred thousand Cultivators emerged from the desert, heading straight for Xi Dou Pass!

Outside the South Dipper Pass, a similar scene unfolded.

Not long after, the Southwest Two Passes were breached.

Coupled with a million zombie soldiers, three armies marched directly towards the Gu Mo Imperial Palace!

Roar!

Above the Gu Mo Imperial Palace, a mournful Dragon roar echoed.

Everyone looked up in unison, only to see Ancient Mo's Luck Golden Dragon materialize out of thin air.

However, the Dragon's tail was empty.

The severed tail was even more bloody.

The High Priest, with blood on his lips, rushed to Mo Emperor's side:

"Xi Dou, South Dipper, and East Dipper, all three passes have been breached. The heavens collapsing is only a matter of time!"

"What!"

All the civil and military officials changed color!

How could this be? Wasn't everything fine before?

East Dipper Pass being breached by Gu Liangyuan himself was not surprising to anyone.

But the breaching of the Southwest Two Passes was somewhat difficult for everyone to accept.

Mo Emperor's mind raced, and he quickly realized:

"This is Gu Liangyuan's 'lure the tiger out of its mountain' strategy!"

"What we need to think about now isn't how the city was lost, but how to stop these three armies."

Although Mo Emperor felt uneasy, he calculated with his fingers that there was only a day and a half left until the Immortal descended to the Lower Realm.

Given Ancient Mo's vast territory, even if the army marched at full speed, a day and a half wouldn't be enough for them to reach the Ancient Mo Imperial Capital.

Once the Immortal descends to the Lower Realm, none of these problems will be problems, so he felt it hadn't reached a desperate point yet.

"I have a plan!"

An old voice rang out from among the civil officials.

Immediately after, a thin, white-haired old man walked out from the ranks of the civil officials.

Mo Emperor looked at this person, his brow slightly furrowed.

He remembered this person. He had no outstanding political achievements during his tenure.

He was simply old, a two-generation veteran official.

Out of a desire to win people's hearts, he had promoted him several ranks, giving him the qualification to stand in this imperial court.

How could such a person have any brilliant schemes?

Though he thought this, Mo Emperor said aloud:

"May I ask Wang Imperial Censor for your esteemed opinion?"

Wang Imperial Censor stroked his beard:

"Besides the two hundred thousand elite soldiers guarding the Imperial Capital, the only forces that can be mobilized are Your Majesty's five thousand personal guards."

Hearing Wang Imperial Censor mention his personal guards, Mo Emperor's expression became cautious.

These five thousand Peak Soul Transformation Body Cultivators were his lifeblood.

They are my last line of defense. If this old man tries to scheme against my personal guards, I'll chop him down immediately.

Wang Imperial Censor continued:

"The elite soldiers must guard the Imperial Capital and cannot be easily moved. Your Majesty's personal guards must protect Your Majesty's safety and also cannot be easily moved."

"Therefore, this old official suggests actively dismantling the Bei Dou Pass array and sending a letter to Zhou Emperor, asking him to lead his troops here to kill Gu Liangyuan."

"Firstly, with these two tigers fighting, our Ancient Mo's military strength will not be damaged."

"Secondly, there are still over two hundred thousand battle-hardened elite soldiers within Bei Dou Pass, who can be commanded by Your Majesty."

As soon as Wang Imperial Censor finished speaking, a military general immediately retorted:

"Old scoundrel, shut up!"

"Do you wish to destroy our Ancient Mo?"

"Zhou Emperor's wolfish ambitions are known to all, and he is also on good terms with Gu Liangyuan. Inviting him to help, wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?"

Wang Imperial Censor bowed deeply:

"There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends."

"Our Dynasty and these Holy Lands are ultimately adversaries. Their good relations are only temporary."

"As for Great Zhou, as long as we offer benefits and persuade them with the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' it won't be difficult to get them to send troops."

"The most important thing is that Ancient Mo has no more troops to deploy. According to the current situation, it's only a matter of time before they reach the Imperial Capital."

"How much worse could it get?"

After speaking, Wang Imperial Censor retreated to his position and said no more.

Although those military generals disagreed with Wang Imperial Censor's words, they were momentarily speechless, unsure how to refute him.

Mo Emperor pondered Wang Imperial Censor's words, deeply agreeing with them.

Yes, how much worse could it get?

No matter what, there's still an Immortal to back him up.

This plan is feasible.

Mo Emperor looked left and right, finally fixing his gaze on Wang Imperial Censor:

"One task, no need for two masters. Wang Imperial Censor, please make this trip."

Wang Imperial Censor received the decree and, without daring to delay, boarded the teleportation array and headed straight for Great Zhou.

Gu Liangyuan, who knew all of this through Mo Emperor's thoughts, subtly raised the corner of his mouth.

That's right, this Wang Imperial Censor was indeed his person!
