64: The two great dynasties joined forces to attack
Just as the messenger's voice fell.
Dozens of terrifying Gui Xu Realm auras suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
Wherever the pressure reached, the air within a million-mile radius of Great Xia Immortal City stagnated, and its citizens immediately felt their movements restricted. The weaker ones were directly forced to their knees, unable to move.
Seeing this, Night Lapis Lazuli immediately took out a token from her embrace and activated it.
The next moment, Great Xia Immortal City's defensive formation activated.
The citizens of Great Xia Immortal City immediately felt a loosening of their bodies, secretlyRejoice that they had saved their lives.
Profound Heaven Imperial Grand Formation: A top-tier seventh-grade defensive formation.
At the beginning of Great Xia's establishment, the first Xia Emperor spent a huge sum to invite a top-tier formation master to set it up.
It can withstand a hundred consecutive attacks from a half-step Asking Dao Realm expert.
Only an Asking Dao Realm expert can break it with a single strike.
"Xia Emperor, Cao Nie, come out and face your death!"
Heavenly Evolution Emperor and Lingxiao Emperor's roars tore through the sky, echoing among the clouds.
Inside the Golden Luan Hall, all the civil and military officials turned in unison.
Looking towards the distant sky, fifty-four figures stepped through the void, their bodies shrouded in Gui Xu power, enveloping the entire Great Xia Immortal City.
"This... the two great Immortal Dynasties have indeed joined forces."
"Fifty-four Gui Xu Realm experts! The two great Immortal Dynasties have truly come out in full force."
"At this point, I'm afraid only Minister Cao has the strength to turn the tide."
These court officials were all under Cao Nie's control.
They had some conjectures about Cao Nie's true strength.
Due to the Divine Demon Seal, many of them had broken through in their cultivation.
For example, the Six Ministry Ministers, who were originally stuck at Po Wang Realm eighth layer, broke through to Po Wang Realm ninth layer a few days ago.
Most court officials had broken through a minor realm.
However, due to insufficient talent, no one broke through to Gui Xu Realm.
The border defenses have fallen, and the several princes guarding them have probably already met with misfortune.
In an instant, everyone's gaze unanimously turned to a certain spot in the main hall.
Even Night Lapis Lazuli was the same.
Summer Glaze had secretly cultivated several Gui Xu Realm experts, and Night Lapis Lazuli was one of them. Compared to the foundations of the two great Immortal Dynasties, they were still slightly inferior.
"Minister Cao, what do you think?"
The Minister Cao she referred to was not Cao Nie.
But Cao Jian.
After completely taking control of Great Xia, Cao Nie's attendance at court depended entirely on his mood; if he didn't come, he would let Cao Jian handle it.
Feeling the gazes of all the civil and military officials, Cao Jian's expression was calm and composed.
He already knew.
The Summer Glaze on the dragon throne was actually Night Lapis Lazuli in disguise.
The other party was also pregnant with the family master's bloodline.
Including the Nine Great Elders, they all knew that Great Xia now belonged to the Cao family.
As the Cao family's designated concubine matriarch, how could he stand by and watch the two great Immortal Dynasties destroy the foundation of Great Xia?
"Your Majesty need not worry." Cao Jian stepped forward, his voice filled with confidence: "The family master had long anticipated this and ordered our Cao family to take action and help Great Xia resist foreign enemies."
Night Lapis Lazuli's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
With fifty-four Gui Xu Realm experts outside the city eyeing them covetously, how could she not worry?
At present, they hadn't broken in, firstly because of the defensive formation.
Secondly, they were wary of "her" being able to use Great Xia's national destiny to increase her strength.
Within an Immortal City, the ruler of a nation can use national destiny to fight above their realm.
This was why the two emperors did not directly break in.
Since the other party had come, they must have come prepared, and this situation would certainly not last long.
"Minister Cao, how many Gui Xu Realm experts does your Cao family have now?"
Night Lapis Lazuli's eyes narrowed slightly, and waves stirred in her heart.
The Cao Jian before her was actually a Gui Xu Realm sixth-layer expert.
At the same realm as her.
This was simply shocking.
More than half a year ago, the Cao family didn't even have a single Gui Xu Realm expert.
But now, not only had the monstrous Cao Nie entered Gui Xu Realm, but even this Great Elder had silently ascended to Gui Xu Realm sixth layer.
Cao Jian smiled calmly: "Your Majesty will know soon enough."
"As for now, Your Majesty, you cannot appear."
"Other Gui Xu Realm experts, follow me out to face the enemy."
As his voice fell, Cao Jian turned and left.
Two Gui Xu Realm military generals walked out, following behind Cao Jian.
Outside the Golden Luan Hall, the remaining six Gui Xu Realm experts, as well as the four Gui Xu Realm experts secretly cultivated by Summer Glaze, were already waiting here.
Without exception, all were people controlled by Cao Nie.
Under Cao Jian's leadership, thirteen people rushed out of the city.
"Where are the Cao family elders? Come out and face the enemy!"
Cao Jian's thunderous shout resonated above the Cao family's mansion.
Seven figures rushed out from within the Cao family's mansion.
In the Second Elder's courtyard.
Lin Yan saw the familiar figures hovering in the distant sky.
He excitedly ran out of the courtyard.
"Father Emperor, please save your son."
Lin Yan's heart was crumbling.
This past month, he had endured the darkest moments of his life.
Being held to sleep by an old man every night, that feeling was beyond disgusting.
And occasionally, he would get a jab in his rear.
If he hadn't had a strong will, he would have committed suicide long ago.
Not far behind, Cao An lay in a rocking chair, with Eunuch Chu Dong helping him massage his shoulders.
Seeing Lin Yan flee, a cold glint flashed in Cao An's eyes.
"Alive, you are my person; dead, you are my ghost. Banner, come!"
A black light rushed out from Cao An's body, instantly leaving the courtyard and enveloping Lin Yan, who hadn't run far.
Under the shroud of demonic energy, Lin Yan let out a tragic scream.
Another skeletal ghost head appeared on the Human Emperor Banner.
Eunuch Chu Dong, who was behind him, trembled all over as he watched this scene.
He's dead.
His good brother just died like that.
Now he'd be facing this old man alone again.
No, why did you run? We said we'd encourage each other and definitely live well.
Why aren't you keeping your word?
Eunuch Chu Dong's heart was filled with sorrow.
The coming days would be spent facing it alone again.
The Human Emperor Banner flew back, Cao An raised his hand to catch it, and kissed the banner.
"Hehehe, you're actually more suitable to be the main soul than Xiao Bei. Fine, this venerable one will expend some effort and refine you into a main soul as well."
Under normal circumstances, one can only have one main soul.
Because of his cultivation of the Vatican Saint True Devil Art, Cao An was an exception.
He could possess Nine Great Natal Heart Souls, Three Thousand Main Souls, and an unlimited number of subordinate souls.
Cao An got up, pulled Eunuch Chu Dong over, and gave him a big, smacking kiss on the face.
"Dong'er, stay here, and absolutely do not run out of this courtyard, or you'll end up like Lin Yan, becoming a main soul in this venerable one's banner."
Eunuch Chu Dong suppressed the disgust in his heart and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, I, Eunuch Chu Dong, will follow you for life and will never run out of this courtyard."
A lewd smile appeared on Cao An's face. He pinched Eunuch Chu Dong's buttocks, turned, and flew away.
"Dong'er, wash up tonight and wait for your husband to come back and dote on you."
Cao An's words echoed in his ears.
He looked up, only to see that the other party had already flown far away.
Eunuch Chu Dong couldn't hold it in and immediately vomited.
"My god, what evil did I, Eunuch Chu Dong, commit to meet this pervert?"
Outside Great Xia Immortal City.
Lingxiao Emperor and Heavenly Evolution Emperor looked at the twenty people who appeared before them, a hint of surprise on their faces.
Seven or eight Gui Xu Realm experts from Great Xia had already been dealt with by them at the border.
They were all Great Xia princes, but unfortunately, one escaped.
They hadn't expected there to be twenty more in this Immortal City.
"The two strongest are at Gui Xu Realm sixth layer. What, the Xia Emperor and that bastard Cao Nie don't dare to come out?" Lingxiao Emperor scoffed.
It would be best if they could lure out the Xia Emperor and Cao Nie.
If not, they'd break in, which would also reduce casualties.
Don't think that he and Heavenly Evolution Emperor were united now.
Once Great Xia was destroyed, if there was an opportunity to eliminate each other and unify the vast lands, neither would let go of that chance.
Cao Jian ignored the two and looked at Cao Wei beside him: "Fifth Brother, set up the formation."
A flash of crimson appeared in Cao Wei's eyes: "Alright."
He raised his hand and took out a formation disk.
He directly buried it into the ground.
A formation enveloped everyone.
In an instant, their figures disappeared from the sight of Great Xia Immortal City's citizens.
Seeing this, Lingxiao Emperor and Heavenly Evolution Emperor were initially surprised.
They thought it was some extraordinary formation.
After sensing it, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"A sixth-grade concealment formation." Heavenly Evolution Emperor scoffed: "What, are you afraid of dying too miserably and don't dare to let people see?"
He had seen killing formations, trapping formations, and defensive formations, but he had never seen anyone set up a concealment formation during battle.
It was truly a wonder of the world.
A cold glint flashed in Cao Wei's eyes, and he sneered inwardly.
Laugh all you want, you won't be laughing for long.
This was indeed a concealment formation.
Its purpose was to allow them to unleash their full power without any reservations.
Especially... Second Brother.
