541: Abandon the vast immortal realm!

Empress Cangqiong's voice was cold and clear.

"I heard that Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor has fallen?"

You nodded.

"Not only that, but Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor has also laid out a shocking scheme."

"He intends to sacrifice the Sacred Heaven Sect and Heavenly Palace Pavilion to summon five Eerie Immortal Emperors to descend upon the Major Thousand Worlds."

Empress Cangqiong's pupils contracted slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain."

You said in a deep voice.

"This was personally said by an Elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect."

Empress Cangqiong fell silent for a moment.

"If it is true, then we must act immediately."

"Since Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor dares to set this trap, it means he has already made thorough preparations."

"Time is running out for us."

"Sigh..."

Empress Cangqiong sighed, and then told you.

Originally, they were responsible for pinning down the Eerie Immortal Emperors, but they didn't expect those Eerie Immortal Emperors to have already left the Weird Sect in advance.

Empress Cangqiong told you that back then, to avoid a direct conflict, they only drew attention near the Weird Sect.

They didn't charge inside at all, which resulted in them being completely unaware that the Eerie Immortal Emperors were not at the Weird Sect.

As her voice fell!

She stood up, her gaze sweeping over you and Sword Two.

"Su Ming, what is your plan?"

You took a deep breath.

"A preemptive strike."

"Before Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor initiates the sacrifice, we gather all our forces and strike directly at the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect."

"Either we kill Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, or we destroy his Sacrificial Grand Array."

"In short, we must not let his plan succeed."

Empress Cangqiong nodded.

"A preemptive strike?"

Empress Cangqiong's voice turned a bit colder.

"Su Ming, are you sure you're not joking?"

She waved her hand, and a light screen appeared in the Void Realm.

The light screen displayed a map of the power distribution in the Vast Immortal Domain.

"In your Sacred Heaven Sect, Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor has fallen, and the remaining people don't even have a single Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"And in my Heavenly Palace Pavilion, there is only me."

"Adding Tidal Empress and Shennong Immortal Emperor, that's only three Immortal Emperors."

She paused, her gaze sweeping toward you.

"On Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor's side, including the three Eerie Immortal Emperors, there are four in total."

"Moreover, the methods of the Eerie Clan are strange and unpredictable, and their combat power at the same Realm is inherently stronger than ours."

"How are we supposed to win?"

Your fists clenched.

Empress Cangqiong was right.

Based on paper strength, you had no chance of winning at all.

But you were unwilling.

"Then we just sit and wait for death?"

Your voice was low.

"Wait for Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor to launch the sacrifice and turn the entire Vast Immortal Domain into nourishment for the Eerie Clan?"

Empress Cangqiong fell silent.

Of course she didn't want to sit and wait for death.

But reality was just that cruel.

"Gather all the Immortal Emperors."

Sword Two spoke at this moment.

"Tidal Empress and Shennong Immortal Emperor haven't stated their positions yet; call them as well, and we'll discuss a strategy together."

Empress Cangqiong nodded.

"That's all we can do."

She raised her hand and sent out two Transmission Talismans, which vanished into the Void Realm.

...

One month later.

The Discussion Hall of the Heavenly Palace Pavilion.

Five figures gathered here.

Besides you, Sword Two, and Empress Cangqiong, there were two newly arrived Immortal Emperors.

Tidal Empress, in a long blue dress, had a gentle temperament, but there was a hint of sharpness between her brows.

Shennong Immortal Emperor, with a resolute face, radiated a dense aura of life.

"Cang Qiong, why have you gathered us here?"

Shennong Immortal Emperor spoke, his voice thick and powerful.

Empress Cangqiong didn't waste words and directly explained Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor's plan.

"What? Saint Heaven has fallen?"

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the two darkened immediately.

Originally, because of Nine Heavens' betrayal, you had already formed a four-versus-four situation.

And now, the fall of Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor had completely shattered that balance.

When they heard that Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor intended to sacrifice the Sacred Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Palace Pavilion, the faces of both Immortal Emperors changed.

"Madness!"

Tidal Empress's voice carried anger.

"Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor is dragging the entire Vast Immortal Domain into the abyss!"

"He has already gone mad."

You said coldly.

"The question now is, how should we respond."

The hall fell into silence.

After a moment, Shennong Immortal Emperor spoke.

"A preemptive strike is not feasible."

"Since Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor dares to lay this trap, it means he has absolute confidence."

"If we attack rashly, we will only fall into his trap."

"Then we defend?"

Tidal Empress frowned.

"Gather all our strength and hold the Sacred Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Palace Pavilion?"

"Useless."

Sword Two shook his head.

"Once the Sacrificial Grand Array is activated, the entire Sect will be enveloped."

"At that time, let alone defending, we won't even be able to escape."

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

Your mind raced, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

But no matter how you simulated it, the result was the same.

Defeat.

Certain defeat.

"Is it possible..."

Empress Cangqiong suddenly spoke.

"To destroy the Sacrificial Grand Array?"

"Impossible."

Sword Two said decisively.

"The core of the Sacrificial Grand Array is deep within the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, guarded by Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor and three Eerie Immortal Emperors."

"We can't even get close."

"What if..."

You took a deep breath.

"We abandon the Sacred Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Palace Pavilion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at you.

"Su Ming, do you know what you are saying?"

Empress Cangqiong's voice turned cold.

"I know."

Your eyes were firm.

"Instead of letting everyone be buried with them, it is better to preserve our strength and evacuate the Vast Immortal Domain."

"As long as we are still alive, there is a chance for a comeback."

"Absurd!"

Shennong Immortal Emperor slammed the table.

"The Sacred Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Palace Pavilion have hundreds of thousands of Disciples; what do you expect them to do?"

"Evacuate them all!"

Your voice was resolute.

"Take as many as we can, and the rest..."

You did not continue.

But everyone understood what you meant.

The rest could only fend for themselves.

The hall fell into a dead silence again.

After a long time, Empress Cangqiong sighed.

"Su Ming, you are right, but you seem to have forgotten one very important thing!"

"The Realm-Crossing Teleportation Grand Array of the Vast Immortal Domain was destroyed long ago!"

"We can't get out at all!"

Tidal Empress also nodded after hearing this.

"That's right, even if there were a Realm-Crossing Teleportation Grand Array, such a massive evacuation would definitely attract their attention!"

To this, you simply waved your hand.

"There's no need to worry about that at all; I have the Bloodline of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

Whoosh—

...
