Chapter 428: Nine Heavens Pursuit Order

The Eastern Immortal Emperor shook his head, “Suppressing the will of heaven comes at too great a cost. What if this Gu Liangyuan isn’t the one who will throw the world into chaos?”

“This risk, I cannot bear.”

Looking at the indecisive Eastern Immortal Emperor, the East Queen Mother was somewhat speechless.

If he’s afraid of this and afraid of that, then he shouldn’t be an Immortal Emperor!

But she only grumbled inwardly and dared not speak it aloud.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “It’s not just us; Gu Liangyuan’s appearance will also cause concern for the North Immortal Emperor and Western Immortal Emperor.”

“To share the pressure, we can also call upon the Western Immortal Emperor.”

“With the combined strength of the Four Great Immortal Courts, the cost incurred will be acceptable to each of us.”

“With this, why worry that Gu Liangyuan won’t die?”

The Eastern Immortal Emperor’s eyes flickered after hearing this.

“You have a point.”

“However, this matter requires time. During this period, I don’t want him to have an easy time!”

The Eastern Immortal Emperor appeared very angry, both at Gu Liangyuan for killing his people and to conceal the panic in his heart with anger.

He thought his actions were quick enough; the moment the celestial anomaly appeared, he began to eliminate the Holy Land remnants.

But he never expected Gu Liangyuan to grow so fast.

He had not yet entered the Immortal Dao, but he already possessed the ability to slay a Nine Heavens Battle General!

Such a person, whether he is the one who will throw the world into chaos or not, cannot be allowed to live!

“Issue my decree, release a pursuit order to the Four Great Immortal Courts!”

“Whoever can bring Gu Liangyuan’s head may go to the Immortal Court’s treasury and choose any Immortal Artifact!”

“And they can become a new Nine Heavens Battle General!”

“This order remains effective until Gu Liangyuan’s death!”

The East Queen Mother clapped her hands and smiled.

“This way, those Family disciples will surely be unable to resist descending to the Lower Realm. Even if they cannot kill Gu Liangyuan, they will surely make Gu Liangyuan suffer terribly, leaving him no time to grow.”

The Eastern Immortal Emperor did not reply, but instead gazed out the window at the surging sea of clouds.

“As long as I enter the legendary Grand Unity Realm, all of this will no longer be a problem.”

“Ancient Immortal remnants, I will eradicate them sooner or later!”

In the Kong Sang Realm, on the battlefield of the Eastern Continent.

Over a million zombie armies were locked in fierce combat with the Zhou Emperor’s five hundred thousand troops.

These five hundred thousand troops were indeed the elite of Great Zhou, actually fighting back and forth with the zombie armies.

Of course, they were still at a disadvantage overall, as the zombie army grew with each battle.

The Zhou Emperor stood in the sky, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, attempting to find the Cultivator named Qi Xiao among them.

However, his idea was destined to fail; the so-called Qi Xiao was just a name casually made up by the Censor.

That jade drum, naturally, was in Gu Liangyuan’s hands.

It would be strange if he could actually find it.

At this moment, Gu Liangyuan, accompanied by the three great zombies, was hidden in the space not far from the Zhou Emperor.

With Gu Liangyuan’s current spatial attainments, if he didn’t want the Zhou Emperor to discover him, the Zhou Emperor naturally couldn’t.

Gu Liangyuan repeatedly observed the Zhou Emperor’s Luck entries, and after discovering that he had no hidden trump cards, he immediately moved his mind and ordered the three great zombies to kill the Zhou Emperor.

In fact, Gu Liangyuan learned from Xiao Fan’s memories that the Zhou Emperor also had a trump card bestowed by the North Immortal Emperor.

However, the Zhou Emperor had a stronger sense of belonging to Great Zhou; he hid that trump card in the Great Zhou treasury.

His fundamental thought was that he could die, but Great Zhou could not be destroyed.

It was just like how Lü Qingmei placed the jade drum in the Supreme Sacred Ground back then.

Gu Liangyuan did not approve of this approach; such a person, though admirable, was also prone to death!

Currently, Great Zhou could be said to have no successor. Once the Zhou Emperor died, the ultimate outcome for Great Zhou would not be good either.

Instead, it would be better to live well and rebuild Great Zhou when the time was right.

But fortunately, the Zhou Emperor didn’t understand the crucial point, which gave Gu Liangyuan such a good opportunity.

The three great zombies instantly appeared around the Zhou Emperor, forming a triangular formation, firmly surrounding him.

Looking at the three suddenly appearing zombies, the Zhou Emperor was first stunned, but quickly reacted, giving a desolate smile.

“jade drum, oh jade drum, so it was your scheme.”

“I am not a qualified Emperor; I am too sentimental.”

The Zhou Emperor summarized his failure.

In fact, when he couldn’t find the person supposedly named Qi Xiao, he already had a premonition that he had fallen into a trap.

But the Zhou Emperor was unwilling to give up without retrieving the jade drum.

Although he had a premonition, he did not withdraw, but continued to search with a hopeful attitude.

Facts proved that a lucky psychology should not be indulged.

“However, it’s not that easy to kill me!”

Roar!

A high-pitched Dragon roar sounded, and the Zhou Emperor instantly transformed into a giant Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!

The moment the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared, all the people of Great Zhou felt it in their hearts, looking up in the direction of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Everyone recognized that it was their Your Majesty.

Gu Liangyuan had long anticipated this move by the Zhou Emperor.

The Zhou Emperor was not trying to fight to the death, but rather to use Great Zhou’s Luck to forcibly elevate himself above an Immortal, to be squeezed out by the will of heaven, and forcibly escape.

The reason Gu Liangyuan did not immediately stop the Zhou Emperor from making his move was to let the subjects of Great Zhou witness this scene.

To let them personally witness the Zhou Emperor’s death, preparing for the enthronement of Zhang Huanzhen’s son.

As for how he would specifically ascend the throne, the Jun Family would naturally provide support.

As the number one Family of Great Zhou, this matter was not difficult.

The three great zombies, seeing that their objective had been achieved, immediately attacked!

With all three great zombies attacking together, it was absolutely impossible for the Zhou Emperor to resist.

Without any fancy maneuvers, simply by relying on their Physical Bodies, they shattered the Zhou Emperor’s Golden Dragon state, revealing his true form.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and bit the Zhou Emperor’s neck.

The Zhou Emperor, who had dominated the Central Continent, vanished into thin air at this moment.

All that remained was the zombie formed from his Physical Body, becoming a great general under Jiang Chen’s command.

With the Emperor’s death, Luck fluctuated!

The Great Zhou Luck Golden Dragon let out a mournful cry, coughing up golden blood.

At the same time, Ancient Mo’s broken-tailed Golden Dragon appeared, also letting out a mournful cry.

Two Emperors fell simultaneously!

The world shook!

Looking at the dense zombie armies within Ancient Mo’s territory, the world realized that the Five Continents’ pattern was about to change completely!

This world, it seemed, was about to be named Gu Liang!

“Surrender or die!”

Yang Yijia, who was battling the Great Zhou Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators, withdrew and shouted loudly!

His voice was like a resounding bell, echoing through the world!

An Emperor dying during wartime was a devastating blow to morale.

Now, upon hearing “surrender or die,” aside from a few stubborn factions, the rest of the soldiers dropped their weapons one after another.

Yang Yijia also kept his promise; those who surrendered were not killed.

This was also Gu Liangyuan’s intention.

After all, what Gu Liangyuan wanted was not a world with only zombies.

If everyone died, what use would he have for this Kong Sang Realm?

With these five hundred thousand soldiers, plus the zombie army, the total combined army reached nearly two million.

Two million troops, mighty and vast, marched directly towards Ancient Mo’s Imperial Capital!

If one stood high enough, they would discover that not only were there these two million troops, but in the West Desert and Southern Regions, there were also two waves of Cultivator armies, each numbering several hundred thousand.

A total of three armies, advancing triumphantly.

With the Mo Emperor dead, they were like Dragons without a head.

Wherever the armies passed, they were almost welcomed with open arms!

As long as the three armies met in the Imperial Capital, the Eastern Continent, West Desert, and Southern Regions would connect, with Ancient Mo as the center!

Thus, the Dao Alliance would occupy nearly three-quarters of the world’s territory!

Unifying the Five Continents was just around the corner!
