219: Lord Tianji, why are you doing this...?

The voice traveled across ten thousand miles, piercing directly into the ears of everyone in the Fentian Holy Land, making their eardrums ache.

The person speaking looked down at the Fentian crowd with indifferent eyes, a look of disdain evident within them.

This was a middle-aged man in white robes with tied sleeves, carrying a blue-gold spear on his back. He had short hair, a chiseled face, and an Aura of Evil Qi emanating from his entire body. On his left shoulder was tattooed the golden characters "Wushuang".

One of the Twelve Generals of the Cangtian Army, Shen Jue!

He was at the Void Return Peak cultivation level and had been in the Cangtian Army for over three hundred years. He was once one of the Shen Family sequences, a Prodigy with terrifying combat strength, yet he had always been stuck at the Dao Integration stage. He admired the Seventh Ancestor of the Shen Family, the Spear Immortal Shen Wuwei, the most, because he too had risen from a branch family and also used a spear!

Moreover, he was a massive Prodigy in the Dao of the Spear, having long since entered the Dao.

With his combat strength, if he reached Dao Integration, he would at least be a Peerless Dao Integration, and if his Dao of the Spear progressed further, he could reach the absolute summit in one step!

He had spent years leading a unit of the Cangtian Army to guard the border of the Eastern Profound Domain, preventing surprise attacks from the Yao Race. When Shen Nian suddenly descended upon Fentian Capital, he had sensed it, but he did not appear until he heard the command from Old Ancestor Shen Min. He always followed military orders; he had the right to ignore orders from anyone except his superior commander, but Old Ancestor Shen Min could ignore the commander's orders to command the Cangtian Army, so he was naturally an exception.

In fact, back then, Shen Min had wanted Shen Jue to be the commander of Shen Nian's personal guard, but gave up after observing him multiple times. Shen Jue had intentionally avoided Shen Min. He would naturally not disobey Shen Min's orders and would execute them well, but the previous Shen Nian was truly difficult for a figure like Shen Jue to sincerely submit to, so why cause unnecessary unpleasantness?

It wasn't until the appearance of Shen Yi that this problem was perfectly resolved.

When he appeared, Shen Yi, not far away, stopped his actions and glanced at Shen Jue indifferently.

"Commander Shen, you and your men may take a rest on the side." Shen Jue said softly, his tone filled with a hint of politeness. Behind him, thousands of white-armored Cangtian Army soldiers stared ahead, each of their eyes filled with a trace of emotion as they discussed via telepathy.

"Is that really the Young Clan Leader? A Void Return Third Layer killing a Fifth Layer in an instant? That Physical Body strength is likely not weaker than a Void Return of the royal race…"

"I thought it was just a rumor a couple of days ago. Who would have thought the Young Clan Leader would actually be this strong? His strength must have increased significantly after entering the ancestral grounds!"

"Looking at it this way, our Young Clan Leader's talent isn't bad at all. Maybe he really can have a good fight with the Night King and the Wolf King tomorrow…"

"It's still difficult. The Night King and the Wolf King have both killed true royal Void Return Fifth Layer great demons across realms…"

"Regardless, I quite like the Young Clan Leader. To dismantle a Holy Land just like that—so domineering. Our Shen Family's Young Clan Leader should be like this…"

"I wonder if General Shen regrets what happened back then…"

"He probably wouldn't regret it. Even if he didn't become the personal guard commander, he is still in the Cangtian Army, and we are all one family…"

"How can that be the same? The relationship between the personal guards and the Young Clan Leader must be much closer…"

Not far away, hearing this, Shen Yi spoke with a calm expression: "I appreciate General Shen Jue's kindness, but military orders are like mountains. My Master has given the order: Destroy Fentian!"

His meaning was simple: the mission was not complete, so resting was impossible.

Shen Jue did not speak, but nodded slightly in response, and then took a step forward…

"Commander, General Shen Jue is quite easy to talk to today…" Beside Shen Yi, the burly Wang Xiaohu leaned in and whispered.

Didn't Shen Jue look down on their Divine Feather Guards—who ate and used the best things every day but never had a serious, bloody fight with the royal race—for a long time? Why did he suddenly change his nature today?

Shen Yi glanced at him and said coldly: "That is because the Master displayed strength sufficient to make Shen Jue sincerely submit; it has nothing to do with us."

"Ah, this… so that's how it is…" Wang Xiaohu scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"If the Master can make a veteran general of the Cangtian Army change his attitude, and you don't strive to improve, are you worthy of being the Master's personal army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xiaohu's body trembled, and he immediately revealed Battle Intent. The surrounding members of the Divine Feather Guards all understood the implication.

"Kill!"

At the same time, the Fentian Formation, which had just been activated by the Grand Elder and was capable of blocking Dao Integration, was pierced through by a single spear. The Spear Intent was violent, shattering the spatial barrier. It contained the power to overturn the sun and moon; this single strike could destroy a star.

The entire Fentian Holy Land shook, the earth constantly cracking, the immortal palaces within the Holy Land swaying, and the mountains and rivers shattering.

One could see the Cangtian Army, with an even more terrifying Aura, stepping in forcefully, led by the one who broke the Formation with his spear: Shen Jue.

"Those who kneel and surrender will be spared!" Shen Jue looked down at the entire Fentian Holy Land, stepping on the Void Realm. At the tip of his spear, stars swirled, as if he could strike at any moment.

Some Elders of the Fentian Holy Land looked up and questioned: "What fault has our Fentian Holy Land committed for the Shen Family to treat us like this?"

"That's right, even the Shen Family cannot act recklessly!"

"Our Fentian Holy Land is one of the three great…"

The next second. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the bombardment of countless Divine Abilities, these Elders turned into blood mists. Their eyes were filled with shock before they died; they had not expected the Shen Family's Cangtian Army to be so decisive.

"It seems that after not making a move in Eastern Profound for too many years, some people have almost forgotten who the Heaven of this Eastern Profound is…" Shen Jue narrowed his eyes and said. The next second, a wave of Spear Intent permeated the entire Fentian Holy Land.

Thud! In the Fentian Holy Land, one after another, countless figures knelt to the ground. Some Elders were so scared out of their wits that their faces turned pale as they watched that divine army forcefully crush the Fentian Formation. The terrifying Aura emitted by these white-armored figures made them unable to even think of resisting, especially that "Cangtian" banner, which filled them with despair…

If they had encountered anyone else, they might have had the courage to resist, but encountering the Shen Family…

The Shen Family, the Cangtian Army! Famous throughout the Human Race, no force within the Human Race could blunt their edge.

Let alone their Fentian Holy Land… To be honest, with a salary of three to five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones a month, why would they risk their lives?

Soon, those kneeling covered the entire Fentian.

"Why… even the Cangtian Army has been mobilized? What on earth has happened…" A Grand Elder asked with a puzzled expression. He stepped forward with a smile and asked: "My Lord, what exactly has happened…"

Boom! This Void Return Grand Elder was pierced through the left shoulder by a spear, his figure falling like a kite with broken strings. The massive impact leveled several immortal palaces, and within the ruins, the Grand Elder spat blood, his Aura withered to the extreme, and he obediently knelt on the ground, not daring to speak again.

At this very moment. In the Fentian Capital square.

The suddenly appeared Wang Xuanzhi stepped on Yan Wushuang's face. There was not a single fluctuation of Dao laws radiating from his body, yet this simple, unadorned kick nearly caused a Peerless Dao Integration to pass out.

There was dead silence. Everyone stared blankly at the unbelievable scene in the square.

"Who is this old man?"

"He took down the Old Ancestor of the Fentian Holy Land with one kick?"

"This is too exaggerated!!"

No one thought Yan Wushuang had been careless; this was a Dao Integration existence, after all. Any movement in the entire Fentian Capital could not escape his perception!

When they heard Yan Wushuang call out the name of that white-haired old man, everyone was shocked. Old Man Tianji!!

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Human Emperor Hall, he had managed the Human Emperor Hall for many years when the Human Emperor was not present. In fact, in many people's eyes, he was the Human Emperor!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The people from the Pill Hall stepped forward one after another. Yang Wei showed a respectful expression and bowed deeply: "Yang Wei of the Pill Pagoda's Fentian Branch pays respects to Old Man Tianji…"

Xiao Xuan, who was behind Shen Nian, was completely stunned. He had expected the Shen Family members might make a move, but he hadn't expected it to be Old Man Tianji.

What is this situation?? And what he just said… Human Emperor? Could it be…

Xiao Xuan glanced sideways at the White-robed Figure.

"Lady Yan Emperor, who is this old man…"

"How is he so powerful…" Xiao Qinger asked in her heart, her face filled with shock.

"Heh, his name is Wang Xuanzhi, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Human Emperor Hall. He can also be considered the actual person in charge of the Human Emperor Hall for ten thousand years, and he grew up wearing the same pair of pants as your Senior Brother Old Ancestor…" The Female Yan Emperor said with a mocking tone and a hint of displeasure in her golden eyes, though she was also somewhat puzzled.

What is this Wang Xuanzhi playing at? Doesn't he always forbid Dao Integration experts from making moves? Why is he attacking so heavily himself? Just because he is the Young Master of the Shen Family? And what did he mean by the "Human Emperor" he shouted just now?

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Qinger realized. After hearing the Female Yan Emperor's explanation, she understood why this old man had made a move.

And at this moment. "Old Man Tianji, why are you doing this…"
