165: The Sixth General

Xun Xiuyuan brought his thoughts back and looked at the four Ghost Elders in front of him.

"All of you, quickly go and restrain your subordinate troops. Do not engage in war with the Beast Domain anymore, because the Beast Domain is also already my territory."

At this point, the Orchid Domain, the Cage Domain, and the Beast Domain had all fallen into Xun Xiuyuan's hands.

On the fifth day of peace in the three domains.

Xun Xiuyuan convened a meeting of the high-ranking officials from the three domains.

"Currently, the southern part of the Chaotic Realm is still in constant warfare, but according to the news Ghost Elder received from the Ghost Clan, the eastern and western parts of the Chaotic Realm have already been occupied by the Human Clan and the Exotic Beast Clan."

"It is estimated that in the near future, the Ghost Clan will intensify its efforts to rectify the southern part of the Chaotic Realm. How should we choose then?"

Xun Xiuyuan sat at the very top, and all those in the Quasi-God Realm and above from the three domains had gathered there.

Except for the Human Clan, Xun Xiuyuan had used the Soul Control Technique on all the Quasi-God Realm cultivators of the other races, not fearing a thousand possibilities, but fearing the one unforeseen event.

Ghost Elder was the highest-ranked individual present. After Xun Xiuyuan finished speaking, he said:

"The Exotic Beast Clan is on the west side of the Great World, and the Human Clan is on the east side of the Great World. Once these two clans occupy the Chaotic Realm, they can directly incorporate the Chaotic Realm into their own territories, making management convenient. However, the Ghost Clan is directly north of the Great World. Even if they occupy the southern region of the Chaotic Realm, it would still be an exclave for the Ghost Clan. They don't really care whether they have it or not, which is why the Ghost Clan's progress has been the slowest, because their investment was originally relatively small."

Ghost Elder's words gave everyone a more intuitive judgment of the current situation.

Li Jun said, "Xiao Yuan, I think no matter what, we can't just hand over the territory we've already occupied. If soldiers come, we'll block them; if water comes, we'll cover it with earth."

Li Jun was always like this; he would never surrender even if it meant death. If it didn't work, he would self-destruct. There was no use in babbling.

Xie An also nodded and said, "Xiao Yuan, Oldest Li has a point."

Xun Xiuyuan called the meeting primarily to hear the opinions of the Human Clan's high-ranking officials. The other two clans were puppets controlled by the Soul Control Technique and would not have any opinions at all.

After getting the answer, Xun Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Then we will fight to the death!"

Zheng Yuanxing then asked, "Why wait? Can't we take the initiative?"

Xun Xiuyuan murmured, "Take the initiative."

Li Jun's eyes also lit up and he said, "Xiao Yuan, we are not like the Exotic Beast Clan and the Ghost Clan, who can run back to the Great World if they fail. If we fail, where do we go? We were originally exiled from the Great World."

Xun Xiuyuan found the word 'exiled' jarring, but there was nothing he could do.

"Ghost Elder, contact the Ghost Clan and tell them that we have already occupied the Beast Domain and can now free up hands to direct battles in other domains. Try to get a general intelligence report on the situation in the southern Chaotic Realm."

Xun Xiuyuan stopped procrastinating and directly gave the order.

Since they were going to war, it was, of course, best to first clarify the general situation in the southern Chaotic Realm.

At this time, Gu Cangfeng and Lin Man had also arrived at the War God Hall's territory.

If they had just been traveling, they would have arrived much earlier.

However, after Gui Ling returned to the Ghost Clan, she actually informed the Ghost Clan King about Gu Cangfeng's intention to marry her.

The Ghost Clan King himself had married a Human Clan member, so he didn't have much objection to his precious daughter marrying a Human Clan member.

Moreover, Gu Cangfeng was the most outstanding Human Clan genius in the past century, renowned among the three clans in the Great World.

The Ghost Clan King, Ghost Emperor, projected himself without hesitation to the Divine Martial Sect.

He directly stated his purpose to Wu Meng, the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect. As Gu Cangfeng's master and the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect, Wu Meng was delighted with this marriage.

Therefore, before Gu Cangfeng even entered the War God Hall's territory, he was caught by Gu Fen, an elder of the Divine Martial Sect, and immediately returned to the Divine Martial Sect.

With his own father agreeing to the matter, Gu Cangfeng had no room for resistance.

Furthermore, Gui Ling's aptitude, appearance, and family background were all top-notch. Although there was no affection yet, Gu Cangfeng honestly did not object.

The only downside was that in this marriage alliance, he actually became the oppressed party.

Marrying a wife he couldn't defeat left Gu Cangfeng utterly speechless.

The marriage between the two parties was quickly settled after Gu Cangfeng's return.

After setting the wedding date, Ghost Emperor returned to the Ghost Clan.

Seeing that the major matter was settled, Gu Cangfeng felt frustrated, so he dragged Lin Man to the War God Hall's territory to clear his mind and report on Xun Xiuyuan to the War God Hall.

The Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect had also learned about Xun Xiuyuan and agreed to Gu Cangfeng's trip to the War God Hall.

He also warned Gu Cangfeng, "Tell it as it is, do not embellish it."

Lin Man pointed to the towering mountain in the distance and said to Gu Cangfeng, "That mountain peak is a pillar of the War God Hall. Once we reach there, we will be able to see the War God Hall."

Gu Cangfeng was surprised, "A single mountain peak is just a pillar of the War God Hall?"

Lin Man nodded, "The War God Hall is a whole entity. It is said to be a divine artifact, standing atop nine mountain peaks."

The two then quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. The War God Hall, which was invisible from a distance, could now be seen.

Gu Cangfeng asked in confusion, "Such a massive palace, why couldn't it be seen from afar?"

Lin Man said, "It's a formation set up by the Sky-Shattering War God. The Sky-Shattering War God, for unknown reasons, was proficient in Soul Secret Skill, formations, and artifact refining."

The two then arrived at the main gate of the grand hall. Looking at the towering bronze door, Gu Cangfeng was speechless: This was not a palace; it was clearly a city, an incredibly huge city.

Lin Man spoke, "Divine Martial Sect Protector Lin Man, Young Sect Master Gu Cangfeng, request an audience with the War God Hall seniors."

Gu Cangfeng was not actually the Young Sect Master yet, because Wu Meng had said that he would pass the position of Young Sect Master to him when Gu Cangfeng advanced to the Heavenly God realm.

However, an old fox like Lin Man knew that when traveling, one's identity was self-proclaimed.

As soon as his voice fell, the huge bronze door of the War God Hall slowly opened, and a warrior walked out.

Looking at the two outside the door, he said, "Since you are friends of the Divine Martial Sect, please follow me."

Gu Cangfeng quietly asked Lin Man, "Is the War God Hall so formidable? Even the doorman is in the True God Realm? Didn't they say the War God Hall had declined?"

Lin Man simply replied, "He is at the peak of the True God Realm. I estimate I'm no match for him."

The warrior in front naturally heard their conversation but did not speak, directly leading the two to a huge council hall in the center of the War God Hall.

The warrior who led the way then spoke, "I have already informed the Sixth God General. He will be here shortly."

Gu Cangfeng then spoke, "We have important intelligence and need to see the Deputy Palace Lord!"

Lin Man tried to stop him but failed, sighing.

The warrior glanced at Gu Cangfeng and left the hall.

"The Deputy Palace Lord is in seclusion. I am temporarily on duty at the War God Hall. If you want to see the Deputy Palace Lord, you'll probably have to wait a few more decades."

A majestic voice echoed from the entrance of the hall.

When Gu Cangfeng turned his head, he did not see the person speaking at the entrance. Turning again, he found a burly man sitting on a chair inside the hall.
