173: United Forbidden Land (Part 3)

“Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem that difficult after all!” An Elder said.

“Hmph, you’re dreaming!”

“Once those Demon Race brats discover that the barrier can be expanded, they will also anticipate the consequences and will undoubtedly intercept it with all their might!”

“The difficulty involved is imaginable!” Many Elders shook their heads, especially since the Demon Race had such a large number!

When all the Demon Gods blocked in front of the barrier, how could they expand it?

“What about the long-term plan?” An Elder asked in a hurry.

“The long-term plan… Hmm, it’s really quite far off for us!” Chu Jingyue stammered.

“What is it exactly? Hurry up and tell us!”

“Since it’s a Beast God’s directive, no matter how difficult it is, we must complete it!”

“That’s right, there’s no harm in saying it!”

“Alright, the long-term plan is to counterattack the Demon Realm and annihilate Hell!”

“Uh…” All the Elders scratched their heads.

This plan was truly long-term enough.

Counterattacking the Demon Realm and annihilating Hell—only the invincible Beast God would dare to speak so righteously!

“It’s certainly impossible to achieve at present. For now, let’s find a way to expand the barrier and reclaim the Human Realm from the hands of the Demon Race!”

“But whether it’s the long-term plan or the short-term plan!”

“The development of my Chu Family is unstoppable, and the opening of the Time Tower is also inevitable!”

“You all go down and make arrangements quickly. Notify those clansmen with lower cultivation but greater potential. The opening of the Time Tower won’t wait for anyone!” Chu Jingyue said to the Elders.

As long as resources were sufficient, the Time Tower should be kept open as much as possible in the future, rather than closed!

“Reporting to Clan Chief, an envoy from the Forbidden Ground requests an audience!” Just then, someone suddenly came to report.

The Elders frowned tightly. What were the Forbidden Ground envoys here for?

Hadn’t those guys already cooperated with the Hell Gate and the Demon Race?

“Which Forbidden Grounds are they from?” Chu Jingyue asked with a frown.

“Reporting to Clan Chief, they are Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Burial Sky Ancient Land, and Divine Sword Tomb!”

“It’s these three Forbidden Grounds?” Chu Jingyue knew that these three Forbidden Grounds were different from the others; they had not cooperated with the Hell Gate and the Demon Race.

Especially Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, it had even discussed forming an Alliance with the Beast God back then, and the Beast God had not refused!

“Then let’s meet them and see what their intentions are at this time!” Taking advantage of the fact that all these Elders were here, Chu Jingyue decided to meet the other party.

Before long, the envoys from the three Forbidden Grounds arrived at the main hall.

“Greetings to Clan Chief Chu and all Elders!” The three envoys clasped their fists.

Although all of them were at the Martial God Realm, their expressions were respectful, without the slightest arrogance!

“Several envoys have traveled a long way. Please be seated. Someone, bring tea!” The other party’s attitude was friendly, so their Chu Family could not lose their composure!

After taking a sip of tea, the envoy from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Wu Luan, spoke first: “I am Wu Luan. May I ask if my Junior Sister, Ye Zhixin, is here? I haven’t seen her in a long time and came to visit along the way!”

“So it’s Senior Brother Wu Luan, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner!” Chu Jingyue hastily stood up and cupped his hands.

He had also heard Ye Zhixin speak about some matters in Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, and knew that she had a Revered Master and a Junior Brother there.

So, upon hearing the other party’s name, Chu Jingyue already knew his identity!

“It’s truly shameful to say that when my Junior Nephew met with trouble, I, as his Senior Martial Uncle, was powerless. Afterwards, Revered Master was also quite remorseful!”

“However, you are also aware of our relationship with the Demon Race at that time, so I ask Brother Kyoto Yue not to blame us!”

After some polite exchanges between the two sides, which brought them a little closer, they then got to the main topic!

“Actually, we have come this time to discuss Alliance matters with Brother Kyoto Yue!” Wu Luan said.

“Alliance?”

“Yes, I presume Brother Kyoto Yue has already received the intelligence that the Demon Race will join forces with Netherworld Hell and the other six Great Forbidden Grounds to attack the barrier!”

“This is not a rumor, but the truth. As far as we know, Netherworld Hell has already begun dispatching a large number of Martial God powerhouses across the border, and the other six Great Forbidden Grounds have also made moves. We believe it won’t be long before Martial Gods descend!”

“The combined power of these three forces is too terrifying. No single force can resist it alone!”

“Therefore, our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Burial Sky Ancient Land, and Divine Sword Tomb are willing to form an Alliance with the Chu Family and advance or retreat together!” This was the result of discussions among the Ancient Ancestors of their Three Great Forbidden Lands; they were merely conveying the message!

Moreover, the combined power of these three forces was something that even their Three Great Forbidden Lands together could not resist.

Even with the addition of the Chu Family, it probably wouldn’t change the outcome much.

However, what the Forbidden Grounds valued was the Chu Family’s Opening Heaven Realm Beast God.

This kind of battle actually competed with high-end power.

No matter how strong the Demon Race was, once an Opening Heaven Realm expert appeared, even the Demon Lord would be annihilated!

“But this shouldn’t benefit your Forbidden Grounds, right?” Chu Jingyue asked in confusion.

“To be frank, Brother Kyoto Yue, the situation of our three Forbidden Grounds is not good either!” Wu Luan sighed and said, “It’s fortunate that the Beast God took action to injure those Demon Lords, which has kept them from acting rashly all this time!”

“Otherwise, they would have probably already attacked our Forbidden Grounds!”

“So, we hope that after forming an Alliance, if the Demon Race attacks our Forbidden Grounds in the future, we hope the Beast God can lend a hand!”

If it were just the Demon Lords of the Demon Race, their three Forbidden Grounds would not be afraid.

The Half-Step Sky Opening Realm Ancient Ancestors of their three Forbidden Grounds combined numbered nearly ten, which was a fair match for the descending Demon Lords!

But now, with Netherworld Hell and other Forbidden Grounds allied with them, they were completely no match!

“Let the Beast God take action?” Chu Jingyue frowned and said, “I might be able to make decisions on other matters, but I cannot make a decision concerning the Beast God!”

“How about this, please wait here for a moment. I will go and ask the Beast God before making a decision, how about that?”

“Then we will trouble Brother Kyoto Yue!”

......

Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace, Chu Jingyue reported the previous events in detail to Long Yuan.

“They want to ally with you to resist the Demon Race and other forces. What do you think?” Long Yuan asked.

“I dare not hide it from the Beast God, just one Demon Race already puts considerable pressure on us. With the addition of the other two behemoths, we cannot possibly resist them with our current strength!”

“Therefore, this Junior feels that forming an Alliance might be our only way out!” Chu Jingyue said without the slightest exaggeration.

This was also the current reality!

Long Yuan nodded, but looking at Chu Jingyue, he thought to himself, “You probably don’t know how strong your unbetrothed daughter-in-law is, do you? She is a terrifying existence whose Physical Body has reached Creation Realm Perfection. One slap from her and even I, the Beast God, would be done for!”

During this time, Long Yuan had been secretly observing that Elf Clan, as this was an unexpected factor, and he had to be wary!

However, he found that although the other party was powerful, she was completely obedient to Chu Yan.

This also put him slightly at ease, otherwise, if the other party gave him a slap, he would truly be finished!

But with such a powerhouse overseeing things there, no matter how many Demon Race members came, the result would be the same.

It was just that Chu Yan didn’t let her easily make a move!

“Since you think an Alliance is possible, then go ahead and form one. As for me taking action… it’s just a matter of lifting a hand, it’s not difficult!” Long Yuan said indifferently.
