213: The ghost's stance

Chen Li was also surprised when he saw the opposing lineup. This lineup was clearly stronger than the Heavenly Palace's strength. Why didn't the other side resist, allowing the Heavenly Palace to advance triumphantly all the way?

In fact, not only Chen Li, but even Gu Shan was confused. The Beast Ancestor had already arranged for three invincible realm experts to come and assist, so why didn't he let himself directly attack the Heavenly Palace?

Xuan Yue's goal was only the Ling Tian Pagoda. If he launched a large-scale attack on the Heavenly Palace, he was afraid that the War God Hall would interfere prematurely.

Zhuge Lun's strength made him dare not act rashly.

The current situation was exactly what Xuan Yue hoped to see. As long as the Heavenly Palace's palace master, who possessed the Ling Tian Pagoda, came near the Azure Wolf Domain, he would have a chance to succeed with one blow.

The Beast Alliance was adjacent to the Exotic Beast Clan's occupied territory in the Chaotic Realm. Fighting here was much safer than entering the heartland of the Chaotic Realm.

Upon seeing the opposing team, Chen Li immediately ordered a retreat without the slightest hesitation.

When Gu Shan saw the Heavenly Palace retreat, he returned to his place of seclusion, took out a projection talisman, and activated it.

Xuan Yue's phantom, a long-haired middle-aged man, appeared before Gu Shan.

"Beast Ancestor, our strength has been seen by the people of the Heavenly Palace. What should we do next?"

Xuan Yue said, "That's enough. You don't need to attack for now. Just wait for the Heavenly Palace's move."

Gu Shan asked, puzzled, "Beast Ancestor, our current strength is already enough to defeat the Heavenly Palace, isn't it?"

Xuan Yue sneered, "Heavenly Palace? Defeat? What are you thinking? As long as the Heavenly Palace can't hold on, the War God Hall will immediately make a move. There's the future Hall Master of the War God Hall in there."

Xuan Yue continued, "Among the Three Great Races, who doesn't know about the Heavenly Palace now? The Chaotic Realm has been turned upside down by the Heavenly Palace, yet no one has stepped forward to suppress it. Why? The Heavenly Palace's sphere of influence at this time should all belong to the Ghost Clan, but the Ghost Emperor of the Ghost Clan has made no movement whatsoever. Do you think everyone is afraid of the Heavenly Palace?"

Gu Shan finally understood the crux of the matter and dared not believe it, saying, "Could it be that the Heavenly Palace is a subordinate force of the War God Hall?"

Xuan Yue shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Palace is definitely not a subordinate force of the War God Hall. It's very possible that the War God Hall will collectively defect to the Heavenly Palace, and then they won't have to obey the Town Heaven Army' military service. I estimate that those crazy people in the War God Hall have wanted to do this for a long time."

With one sentence, Gu Shan was utterly shocked, as if struck by five thunderbolts, his soul not attached to his body.

If what the Beast Ancestor said was true, then the entire Chaotic Realm would become the Heavenly Palace's territory and also become the fourth major power in the Great World.

The War God Hall had only retreated into seclusion and lay dormant; its strength was still there.

One must know that when Ling Tian was still around, the War God Hall truly crushed the Ghost Clan and the Exotic Beast Clan.

Gu Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Then we will wait here for the Heavenly Palace's attack."

"Mm!"

With a promise, Xuan Yue's phantom directly dissipated, and the projection communication was cut off.

Xun Xiuyuan also spent a leisurely time in the abyss until today when he received Chen Li's projection communication.

After understanding the situation of the Beast Alliance, Xun Xiuyuan discussed it with Chen Li, and then set off for the Ghost Clan's headquarters, which was now the Ghost Valley Branch of the Heavenly Palace.

Wen Ruyu and Bai Xiaoou repeatedly told Xun Xiuyuan to be careful. In fact, Xun Xiuyuan wanted to put the two women into the Ling Tian Pagoda, because that way, he would be more at ease.

However, the two women were afraid that being inside the Ling Tian Pagoda would affect the development of the baby in their belly, so they both refused.

The key was that Ji Yunshu, the little ray of sunshine, was still in Xiuyuan City, which made the two women even more unwilling to leave.

Xun Xiuyuan picked up the several-month-old Ji Yunshu, and rubbed his cheek against Ji Yunshu's tender little face. Ji Yunshu opened her eyes and waved her small hands in the air, hoping to touch the cheek that had touched her.

Xun Xiuyuan held Ji Yunshu's small hand and placed it on his cheek.

Ji Yunshu, getting her wish, laughed when her small hand touched Xun Xiuyuan's cheek.

Xun Xiuyuan kissed Ji Yunshu, then kissed Wen Ruyu and Bai Xiaoou, and looked up, saying, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

After speaking, his figure dissipated, and he teleported away.

Great World.

Ghost Clan.

The Ghost Emperor and Gui Ling sat opposite each other, the father and daughter playing chess.

The Ghost Emperor seemed to have something on his mind, making mistakes repeatedly.

Gui Ling asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Father? Did you quarrel with Mother?"

The Ghost Emperor smiled and said, "No, it's because of the Chaotic Realm."

"That Heavenly Palace?" Gui Ling picked up a chess piece, placed it, and asked.

The Ghost Emperor nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Yes, and no. At first, the Left Wing Army arranged for people to go to Ghost Valley in the Chaotic Realm to lobby, wanting to eliminate the Cage Domain. Later, it was Gui You of the Right Wing Army, who arranged for people to go and kill the expelled divine generals of the War God Hall."

The Ghost Emperor threw away the chess pieces in his hand, stood up and said, "If they had succeeded, it would have been fine, but these two useless people both failed. Now the commotion is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid the War God Hall will get involved. At that time, the Ghost Clan will definitely become the Heavenly Palace's primary enemy."

Gui Ling said disdainfully, "Both the Left Wing Army and the Right Wing Army are ambitious. Since Father Emperor has agreed to my marriage with Gu Cangfeng, then don't waver anymore."

Gui Ling's words hit the Ghost Emperor's thoughts directly. He turned to look at Gui Ling and said, "Then, my little darling, tell me."

Gui Ling said, "Gu Cangfeng is still in the secret realm of the War God Hall, seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough. He is comprehending five laws simultaneously, and it is estimated that when he comes out of seclusion, he will have reached the requirement for marriage, the Heavenly God Realm."

"Father Emperor, it's not because Mother is human that I've always stood on the human side. You know it yourself. If it weren't for the appearance of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the Ghost Clan and the Exotic Beast Clan would have long been completely devoured by the Human Race. How could there be the current three-way standoff?"

The Ghost Emperor understood Gui Ling's meaning: "You're right, this is also why I am willing to form a marriage alliance with the Divine Martial Sect. The Human Race's strength is still unfathomable. It's impossible to resist them, so alliance is the best solution."

Seeing that Father Emperor also shared this intention, Gui Ling continued, "If the War God Hall supports the Heavenly Palace, then we, the Ghost Clan, will give up the Chaotic Realm. There's no need to contend for it. Let's observe the situation first. As for the movements of the left and right wing armies, we only need to observe. What they do has nothing to do with us."

"They are not of the same mind as Father Emperor to begin with. A forced melon is not sweet."

The Ghost Emperor pondered for a long time and said, "Gui Chang's Left Wing Army cannot be brought under control, but the Chu family can still be managed."

Looking at his intelligent daughter, she had the demeanor of an emperor.

The Ghost Emperor then revealed something Gui Ling didn't know: "A few days ago, Chu Dingtian came to me and told me everything about Gui You. Although I already knew, I was still happy to see such a clear act of surrender."

Gui Ling's thoughts became even firmer at this moment: "Father Emperor, you see, there are still people who see the situation clearly."

The Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "These people don't know the might of the War God Hall. Even if Ling Tian is no longer here, it's not something anyone can just ride on the War God Hall's head and play with."
