79: Ancestor Jiaoyun has fallen!

Chu Zhennan's Battle Saint Body possesses a powerful advantage in combat.

Furthermore, it is the kind that grows stronger the more it fights,

often achieving a Breakthrough during battle.

Although Chu Zhan's Vajra War Body is merely a King Physique,

he has delved extremely deep into the path of Body Refining.

Among the many powerhouses of the Chu Family,

his Body Refining is undoubtedly among the best.

Thus, for a time, the two figures were unable to determine a victor.

"Not bad. If the Time Tower could be activated once, it would definitely lead to a significant increase in their strength!"

Even if it were only opened for one month on the first floor,

it would provide nearly a year's worth of time inside.

And for the current Chu Family, one year is enough for their strength to step onto another level.

As for spirit stones,

having previously plundered so much foundation from the Beast Taming Sect,

the current Chu Family has enough resources to continuously activate the first floor of the Time Tower for several months.

This was Long Yuan's thought,

but the surrounding major forces did not want to give the Chu Family this time.

Several days later,

Chu Jingyue entered the Dragon Emperor Palace to pay respects to Long Yuan,

because Heavenly Dragon Abyss had relayed a message!

"Oh? No Emperor-Grade powerhouses have been dispatched yet?"

"Are they looking down on me?"

Long Yuan sneered.

"Beast God, what should we do?"

Chu Jingyue asked worriedly.

"What do you mean, what should we do? Since the enemy has come knocking, naturally we should strike and destroy them!"

"Don't you covet the foundations of those Holy Lands?"

Long Yuan said calmly.

Aren't they just some Saint-Grade Sects and a few Emperor Weapons?

What's the big deal?

Chu Jingyue gave an awkward smile.

He was naturally incredibly envious of the foundations of those Holy Lands,

but upon hearing that the opponents had mobilized so many Emperor Weapons and Emperor-Grade Talismans,

he felt genuine apprehension!

"Actually, the most troublesome thing isn't the so-called Emperor Weapons and Emperor-Grade Talismans. No matter how many of those things show up, I won't even put them in my eyes!"

Long Yuan said calmly.

"The real trouble is that they dare not show up openly, but instead hide in the dark, stirring up trouble!"

"So, if possible, it would be best to gather them all in one place so I can wipe them out in one swoop!"

In fact, given his current strength,

destroying those Holy Lands would take but a snap of his fingers.

But in Long Yuan's eyes,

the Chu Family was the protagonist.

Some matters they can resolve should naturally be left to them to resolve,

otherwise, how could it serve to temper the entire Family?

After all,

if Long Yuan wanted to ascend to the supreme Realm faster,

he still had to rely on the Chu Family!

"Gather them all together?"

Chu Jingyue pondered, "Then let us handle this matter!"

"Oh? You have a way?"

"Not yet, but with so many of us, surely we can come up with something!"

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll leave it to you to figure out a plan. If you can gather those people together, I will personally move to destroy them!"

Primarily, Long Yuan was quite the homebody,

and disliked showing his face every day.

He only wanted to act at critical moments,

usually slacking off,

and occasionally Cultivating—that was his preferred lifestyle!

Seeing that the Beast God had spoken thus,

Chu Jingyue gained complete confidence.

After he left,

Long Yuan flicked his finger,

and several streams of light pierced the Void Realm and entered the Refining Heart Tower.

Those were the System rewards obtained during this period.

After such a long time,

he had finally figured out that,

the System's rewards were divided into two parts:

one part was his personal reward, and the other part was the reward the System gave to the Chu Family.

Therefore, he placed the portion of the rewards meant for the Chu Family, which he had obtained during this time, into the Refining Heart Tower.

Among them were Sacred Artifacts,

Saint-Grade Physique Origin, and Saint-Grade Martial Soul Origin!

There were also 20 Physique Enhancement Pills and 20 Martial Soul Enhancement Pills!

To put it bluntly,

the treasures within the Refining Heart Tower,

even if placed throughout the entire Human Realm, would be considered supreme treasures!

As for the Emperor-Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique "Cosmic Star Art" he had previously obtained, he would slowly hand it over to them later,

or wait until Chu Tianyang achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Saint before giving it to the Chu Family.

After Chu Jingyue, who had received the task, returned to Qingyang City, he immediately summoned the Elders and Old Ancestors to discuss the matter.

"Gather everyone together?"

Chu Tianyang pondered.

This was not a simple matter!

After all, those Saint-Grade forces were distributed around the Qian Domain.

If they made a move,

they would likely attack simultaneously from all directions!

And to gather them in one place... "I think this matter must rely on Heavenly Dragon Abyss to mediate!"

"It's truly inconvenient for us to step forward!"

An Elder said after deep thought.

Chu Jingyue thought for a moment and said, "First of all, the reason the enemy is going through so much trouble is actually because they fear the Beast God. The current seven-star Chu Family is simply not worth their attention!"

"Therefore, the enemy's target will certainly be focused on the Beast God!"

"In that case, we can completely use this point to lure these people together!"

Chu Jingyue and the others discussed for a while,

and finally formulated a plan.

Several days later,

Heavenly Dragon Abyss, under the pretext of 'punishing the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family,' gathered the Sects participating in this encirclement, such as the Divine Fist Sect and the Myriad Sword Gate, to discuss the matter.

However, since it was only a discussion,

each Sect only sent one Old Ancestor powerhouse,

and did not gather all their powerhouses in one place.

Watching this scene,

Golden Saint Old Ancestor sighed inwardly.

If the powerhouses of the major forces were all assembled,

he would only need a single sound transmission,

and all these people would fall. Unfortunately, the time was not yet ripe!

"Golden Saint Old Ancestor, you said your Heavenly Dragon Abyss has a method to deal with the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family. What is it? Hurry up and tell us!"

Iron Hand Divine Fist, the Old Ancestor of the Divine Fist Sect, asked impatiently.

"First, let me share some very unfortunate news: Old Ancestor Jiao Yun of my Heavenly Dragon Abyss has fallen!"

Golden Saint Old Ancestor said in a deep voice.

"What? Jiao Yun has fallen?"

All the Old Ancestors were simultaneously shocked,

their expressions filled with astonishment.

That was a Demon Saint at the Perfection Realm!

"Could it be?"

Sword Chen, the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Sword Gate, slightly changed his expression, as if he had realized something.

"That's right, he was killed by the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family!"

"In order for this mission assigned by Hell Gate to be completed without fail, Old Ancestor Jiao Yun went deep into the Chu Family to scout specific intelligence on the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family, and he ended up falling there!"

Golden Saint Old Ancestor sighed,

his eyes full of sorrow!

Jiao Yun had indeed fallen,

but not at the hands of the Chu Family.

Instead, he had fallen at the hands of Golden Saint Old Ancestor.

Since they had already pledged allegiance to the Chu Family,

Jiao Yun was bound to die!

There was no alternative!

Who told that faction to have such deep roots with Hell Gate?

Once he knew that their Heavenly Dragon Abyss had surrendered to the Chu Family,

given Jiao Yun's personality,

he would definitely expose Heavenly Dragon Abyss's identity as a spy!

Iron Hand Divine Fist stood up,

his two fists colliding and emitting the clang of metal,

and roared, "This Demon Emperor of the Chu Family is facing his end yet remains unrepentant, even daring to attack us! I think we shouldn't delay; we must rush over immediately and crush him to pieces, scattering his ashes!"

"Iron Hand, why are you rushing? The opponent is, after all, a genuine Emperor-Grade powerhouse. If we can't inflict heavy damage with a single strike, then the ones who die might be us!"

Sword Chen, the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Sword Gate, said in a deep voice.

Then he frowned and asked, "That Emperor Weapon Jiao Yun carried—it hasn't fallen into the hands of that Demon Emperor, has it?"

"No, it hasn't. When he left, he was worried about something happening to himself, so he left the Emperor Weapon at Heavenly Dragon Abyss!"

"That's good. If the Emperor Weapon fell into the opponent's hands, that would be troublesome. By the way, did Old Ancestor Jiao Yun manage to scout any intelligence on the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family?"

Old Ancestor Sword Chen asked again,

none of the people present had ever seen the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family,

and all the information they had about him was just hearsay.
