556: The actions of the Tiandao and Tiansheng sects

"The nation is ruined, families are destroyed, yet he cares not, indulging in fine wine and enjoying beautiful women."

"This Great Yu Dynasty is beyond saving!"

Or rather, the Great Yu Dynasty was beyond saving long ago.

As early as Yu Tian decided to abandon Canglan Star, the Great Yu Dynasty was already doomed.

The Great Yu Celestial Emperor, who used 99.9999% of Great Yu's resources, fled, so what could the remaining people achieve?

"It is fitting that I save the people of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty from their suffering."

With a thought, Yang Dian had already left the Golden Luan Hall, from which decadent music emanated, and arrived at the Weapon Forging Hall in the west of the city.

The Weapon Forging Hall was called a hall, but it was actually a continuous complex of buildings.

Tens of millions of Great Yu Artifact Refiners, including their families, all lived in this place.

Next to the Weapon Forging Hall were areas such as the Alchemy Pavilion, Talisman Institute, and Beast Pens, used to house support talents like Alchemists, Talisman Masters, and more Alchemists.

"The total number of various auxiliary talents in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty exceeds ten billion..."

With so many people, it was clearly unrealistic to take them all.

The weakest of these people were in the Transcendent Realm, and the strongest were close to the Star Dome Realm.

If he took them all, Yang Dian would not have enough resources to support them.

"Therefore, I can only choose the best."

Lost in thought, Yang Dian took another step, arriving at the office of the Weapon Forging Hall Master.

However, what he didn't expect was that he wasn't the first to arrive.

Before him, two people had already sought out the Great Yu Weapon Forging Hall Master.

"Commander, the two people in front of Wu Wei are Qi Wu, the Peak Master of the Weapon Peak of the Heavenly Dao Sect on Taicang Star, and Liu Qiaoer, the Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Sect on Chongming Star."

No sooner had Zero's voice fallen than Qi Wu's voice reached Yang Dian's ears:

"A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses an enlightened lord to serve."

"Hall Master Wu, the demise of Great Yu is only a matter of time. Why insist on being buried with Great Yu?"

"Even if you are loyal to your emperor and love your country, what about your wife, children, and grandchildren?"

"What about your subordinates who are loyal to you and follow your every command?"

"Do you want to watch them die with your own eyes?"

As he spoke, Qi Wu waved his hand again, projecting a light screen.

The light screen showed the scene of Yu Fei telling the Celestial Official of Stars in the Golden Luan Hall that they would use Da Yu Cultivators to build a foundation, open a cross-realm passage, and flee to another realm.

'Tsk, why is this Great Yu Immortal Dynasty like a sieve, full of holes?'

Just as Yang Dian was muttering to himself, Qi Wu spoke again:

"Now your Great Yu Crown Prince wants to use Cultivators to build a foundation to help him escape the Canglan Realm."

"Hall Master Wu's strength is not bad; perhaps there's a spot for you in this foundation building."

"If the lord chooses his minister, the minister also chooses his lord."

"If the lord abandons his minister, the minister can naturally abandon his lord."

"Since Yu Fei was unrighteous first, does Hall Master Wu still want to remain loyal to Great Yu?"

"Come to my Heavenly Dao Sect, and I, Qi Wu, will offer you the position of Deputy Peak Master of the Weapon Peak with both hands."

No sooner had Qi Wu's voice ceased than Liu Qiaoer, who was beside him, continued his words:

"Fellow Daoist Qi is right."

"Now that Yu Fei wants to abandon Azurewave and the Great Yu Dynasty, why should Fellow Daoist Wu cling to this withered tree of the Great Yu Dynasty?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Qi Wu:

"However, even if the Great Yu Dynasty perishes, Great Azure may not necessarily be a good place."

"Now that the Three Realms converge, there will be endless conflict, and a victor will eventually emerge."

"My Chongming Realm's strength far surpasses Great Azure's, and it will inevitably destroy Great Azure in the future."

"It would be unwise for Fellow Daoist to pledge allegiance to Great Azure."

"It would be better to directly join my Chongming."

"My Heavenly Saint Sect is the number one Holy Sect on Chongming. If Fellow Daoist is willing to bring the Great Yu Artifact Refiners to join the Holy Sect, the Holy Sect will certainly not treat Fellow Daoist unfairly."

"Heh ~ The number one Holy Sect?"

"If I remember correctly, besides the Heavenly Saint Sect, your Chongming Star also has the Yin Demon Sect and the Destroy God Sect, two great Holy Lands. The Yin Demon and Destroy God Sects are on par with you, aren't they?"

"The three sects refuse to submit to each other, often engaging in realm-wide wars, but there has never been a winner."

"If Artifact Refiners go to your Heavenly Saint Sect, I'm afraid they'll be worked like oxen and horses, busy for a lifetime without a moment's rest, and be ordered around until they die."

Liu Qiaoer looked at Qi Wu expressionlessly. She did not refute Qi Wu's words; instead, she continued his statement:

"Being a bit tired is better than Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and having your remains turned into Artifact Refining and corpse refining Materials, isn't it?"

"Heh ~ your Chongming Realm only talks big. If you were really that powerful, why don't I see you openly invading my Primordial Realm? You only dare to make small moves in the shadows?"

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. When my Chongming army besieges your city, you'll know your mistake..."

As the two argued, they suddenly sensed something and simultaneously looked at Wu Wei.

Facing their gazes, Wu Wei, who had grown more than a little in size, suddenly smiled:

"Although I, Wu, am neither good at literature nor martial arts, I know how to repay kindness. How could I be someone who fears death?"

"You two, it seems you've misunderstood."

"I am not loyal to the Crown Prince."

"I am loyal to the Celestial Emperor!"

Sensing the chaotic energy within Wu Wei's body, which had reached a critical point and seemed ready to explode with a mere touch, Qi Wu's brow twitched wildly:

"But your Celestial Emperor is already dead."

"Even if he isn't dead, he, like his son, abandoned you."

"Otherwise, why doesn't he appear?"

"The Celestial Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven, immortal and indestructible!" Wu Wei's voice sounded somewhat agitated:

"The Celestial Emperor not appearing naturally has his reasons."

"When the Celestial Emperor returns to his position, all of you shall die!"

Before his words finished, the aura on his body had already crossed the critical point.

Qi Wu and Liu Qiaoer exchanged glances. Just as they were about to turn and leave, they saw a hazy light rise within the great hall, trapping them firmly inside.

"You two, I, Wu, know that my strength is inferior to yours."

"But by sacrificing this body of flesh and Divine Soul, plus all the Magical Artifacts in this hall, I wonder if I can invite you two to accompany me to Yellow Springs?"

Qi Wu and Liu Qiaoer's expressions turned a few shades uglier.

Wu Wei and the self-destruction of the Qi Refining Hall could at most severely injure them; it wouldn't kill them.

But the problem was, where was this place?

The Great Yu New Capital!

Although the New Capital was not as powerful as the Great Yu Immortal Capital, it had no fewer Formations, and it gathered all of Great Yu's current living forces.

If they were exposed, they truly had no confidence in escaping unscathed.

They also genuinely didn't expect Wu Wei to turn into a self-destructing truck without a word.

Why such a big temper? They weren't planning to kill anyone.

If you can live, then live. Why seek death, and such a death as self-detonating one's Divine Soul and physical body?

'How could that stingy fellow, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor, have such loyal subjects?'

Just as the two were questioning life and using various methods, preparing to escape in the chaos after Wu Wei and the Weapon Forging Hall self-destructed, they heard a soft sigh from within the great hall.

"Who!"

Wu Wei, Qi Wu, and Liu Qiaoer exclaimed in unison with surprise, their eyes simultaneously looking in the direction of the voice.

'Someone can get this close to me without being detected? What a powerful concealment Divine Ability!'

Just as the three were surprised, visible rune chains appeared from deep within their Dantian and Divine Souls, climbing onto their flesh, bones, magical power, and Divine Souls.

By the time the three reacted, the rune chains had already covered their entire bodies.
