30: I'm very angry right now.
Over at the Dayan Imperial Capital...
After witnessing with their own eyes that even Qin Guxu was no match, the remaining Saints of the Dayan Dynasty made a Heavenly Dao Oath without a second thought to remain forever loyal to King Gu Ji.
Xu Fengnian, who was being held captive, was so consumed by rage at this sight that he self-detonated and died.
At this point, the Dayan Dynasty was completely taken over by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.
After leaving behind an army of thirty thousand, Lin Zilong prepared to lead the remaining seventy thousand troops back to report on his mission.
With the help of those seven Saints, the Dayan Dynasty would not be able to cause any trouble.
Watching the army depart, King Gu Ji stood on the shattered city wall with an incredibly solemn expression.
Everything had exceeded his expectations.
Previously, he had only wanted to usurp the throne and take the position of Imperial Lord; he never expected that Old Six would be hiding so much, even possessing Peak Saint King experts.
And now, the most important question was: did Old Six only have these two Saint Kings, or were there more?
The answer was obvious; Old Six definitely had more than just these two Saint Kings. Perhaps there were even existences above the Saint King realm?
Thinking of this, King Gu Ji couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Just how many trump cards was Old Six hiding? Or rather, was the current one really still Old Six?
But even so, he could only pretend to know nothing.
Otherwise, he wasn't sure if what awaited him would be death.
Putting away his complicated thoughts, King Gu Ji looked at the seven Saints before him.
"From now on, you will hide by my side and protect my safety."
"As for the palace, repair it as quickly as possible."
"Yes."
With their lives in King Gu Ji's hands, they could only follow his every command.
Not long after, the news reached Gu Jixiao's side.
Upon learning that the Peak Saint King of the Fierce Blade Dynasty had attacked Gu Long, Gu Jixiao couldn't contain his excitement and abruptly stood up.
"Hahaha, good! I wanted the Fierce Blade Dynasty to take the initiative to pick a fight."
"Pass down my command: the Fierce Blade Dynasty has provoked our Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, and we shall launch a full-scale counter-attack!"
Almost at the same time, the communication jade talisman he had left with Shen Qingyu vibrated.
Upon learning that the medicinal herbs he needed had been collected, Gu Jixiao set off for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
When he arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and Shen Qingyu saw Gu Jixiao, her expression was slightly bashful.
After all, what had happened in the private room with Gu Jixiao recently was simply too embarrassing.
But Gu Jixiao didn't care much, reaching out to take the storage ring containing those Heaven And Earth Treasures from Shen Qingyu's hand.
Just as Shen Qingyu thought Gu Jixiao would pull his hand back, she didn't expect him to directly grab her slender, fair hand.
Feeling the warmth from Gu Jixiao's palm against her own, Shen Qingyu's face couldn't help but turn red again.
Seeing Shen Qingyu's shy appearance, Gu Jixiao felt another surge of heat in his heart; he was fuming with pent-up fire right now and desperately needed a release.
"What's wrong? It's not like you haven't seen it before, why so shy?"
"Come on, let me give you a check-up and see if your development is normal."
With Shen Qingyu feigning resistance, the two entered the private room again and did not come out.
Three days later, when the private room door opened, Gu Jixiao walked out looking refreshed; after all, unloading his 'cargo' felt very comfortable.
Looking at Shen Qingyu again, her face was rosy, but her legs were trembling slightly; clearly, the three-day battle had been a bit much for her to handle.
"Thanks for the hospitality. I'll come find you again when I need to."
Gu Jixiao said to Shen Qingyu, and before she could say anything, he left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Watching Gu Jixiao's back as he left without hesitation, Shen Qingyu couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"Men are all scumbags, leaving as soon as they've had their fill."
However, the only good thing was that she had also felt very comfortable during those three days, and even her cultivation showed signs of slight improvement.
Maybe... she should try for another three days next time they met?
Seemingly thinking of something else, Shen Qingyu's face flushed crimson again, causing the passing servants of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to look on in confusion; they had never seen their pavilion master show such a feminine side.
On the other side, Gu Jixiao had already moved on from the tender feelings Shen Qingyu gave him, playing with the storage ring and sending his divine sense inside; there were quite a lot of Heaven And Earth Treasures.
"Gu Yue, I'll leave these things to you. Train a Void Refining army for me as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
Gu Yue took the storage ring and vanished in a flash.
"What! The Dayan Dynasty was destroyed by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty? And the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is declaring war on the Fierce Blade Dynasty?"
Inside the Ten Suns Dynasty's Forbidden Ground...
Qi Gula couldn't sit still and stood up, his breathing hurried and his tone filled with deep surprise.
Qi Fengtian nodded with a solemn expression: "According to the reports from our spies planted in the Dayan Imperial Capital, this matter is definitely true."
"What kind of Opportunity did the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty obtain to have the gall to go to war with the Fierce Blade Dynasty?"
Just like the Fierce Blade Dynasty, the first thing Qi Gula thought of was whether the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty had obtained some massive Opportunity.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain the changes that had occurred in the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty in such a short period of time.
"Then Old Ancestor, how should we proceed?"
Qi Fengtian's brow was tightly furrowed; the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty wasn't even afraid of the Fierce Blade Dynasty, let alone their Ten Suns Dynasty.
Hearing this, Qi Gula waved his hand and said, "From now on, do not target the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty. As long as we don't provoke them, I presume the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty won't move against us for no reason."
However, Qi Gula didn't realize that from the very beginning, Gu Jixiao's plan was to bring the entire Heavenly Saint Continent under the territory of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.
The forces within the Heavenly Saint Continent had only two choices: either die or be incorporated into the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.
On the other side, after the Zhan Shen Dynasty and the Zhenbei Dynasty learned that the Dayan Dynasty had been destroyed and that the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty had proactively declared war on the Fierce Blade Dynasty, the Old Ancestors of these two Great Dynasties had the same thoughts as Qi Gula, ordering that no action be taken against the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.
They all believed that as long as they didn't act against the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, then the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty wouldn't act against them.
Little did they know that from the very beginning, their fates had already been sealed.
Meanwhile, in the Fierce Blade Dynasty, five figures appeared in the sky above the Fierce Blade Palace.
The moment they appeared, an oppressive and terrifying aura emanated from them, causing the sky over the entire Imperial Capital to change color.
The commoners in the Imperial Capital stopped in their tracks and looked up at the five figures in the sky, their faces full of tension and pressure.
Just then, a figure flew out from the palace and landed in front of the five people.
"Since the five of you are here, let us go inside and talk."
Qin Tiandao looked at the five people before him; they were all lords of Imperial Dynasties with strength comparable to the Fierce Blade Dynasty.
Facing them, Qin Tiandao felt no fear at all and looked them straight in the eye.
