247: Wu Qian Announcement

All sides speculated that Wu Luo had arrived in Wuan Territory, and only such a disparity in strength could prevent the four quasi-Martial Gods from even having a chance to call for help!

Thus, the six top Holy Lands in Wu Dong Territory launched a surprise attack on the Wuqian Grand Army within Wu Dong Territory.

The outcome once again exceeded expectations: the Old Ancestors of the six top Holy Lands saw one escape, two surrender, and three die. The one who escaped also voluntarily returned to surrender!

Wu Dong Territory thus became the first of the three territories to be conquered.

The one who made the move was the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, Gu Batian!

His cultivation was also exposed to all the forces: the five-step quasi-Martial God Realm!

This news, like a raging tide, instantly swept through the Eastern Thirteen Territories.

It should be known that more than half a year ago, Gu Batian was only a one-step quasi-Martial God. How could he have grown to a five-step quasi-Martial God in just half a year!

Before one wave settled, another rose. News also came from Wuhua Territory: the top Holy Land, Zhaoyun Holy Land, was annihilated. The Wuqian Grand Army, with the help of an internal traitor, poured into Zhaoyun Holy Land. The two quasi-Martial Gods of the Holy Land were killed, more than half of the sixteen Holy Monarchs perished, and less than 30% of the Holy Land's powerhouses survived.

The ones who made the move, besides the newly promoted quasi-Martial God, Old Ancestor Chi, also included Gu Xingkui, and the latter's cultivation was surprisingly also a five-step quasi-Martial God!

"When did the quasi-Martial God Realm become so easy to Breakthrough?"

A powerhouse who had been stuck in the quasi-Martial God Realm for millions of years let out a sky-shaking cry of sorrow!

"Why has the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect become so powerful in just a few months?"

"It must be the ruins. They must have obtained incredible treasures in the ruins!"

Some powerhouses also thought of the Divine Spirit Ruins. After all, with the example of the Tianwu Empire before them, it was possible that the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect was also in the same situation!

Moreover, this trip to the ruins was too bizarre. Everyone who went in seemed to have been silenced, and the Vulture God Ghost Sect, which wanted to investigate the truth, had already been annihilated.

This left a deep mystery for many who did not know the truth.

Furthermore, the natives who emerged from the ruins were stronger than the last, with several nine-step quasi-Martial Gods among them, clearly indicating to everyone that this trip to the ruins was absolutely extraordinary.

Thus, the news that the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect had obtained a great treasure spread like wildfire.

Of course, this was not without the instigation of some forces.

For a time, many powerhouses emerged from their seclusion and headed to Wuqian Territory.

There were even spies from various races hidden among them, even sending messages back to their respective races to see if their racial Luck had been affected.

"Young Master, recently there have been many powerhouses in Wuqian Territory. Although there isn't much threat, the more people gather, the more likely it is to cause trouble!"

Inside a grand hall deep within the imperial palace of Ancient Martial Emperor City.

For Wu Xingqiong to call someone a powerhouse, they must at least be in the quasi-Martial God Realm.

"Isn't this what we expected?" Xu Duoduo's lips curved into a smile.

"Notify them and tell all major forces that the Wuqian Empire is in a tense situation. Have those quasi-Martial God powerhouses leave Wuqian Territory within five days, otherwise, the Wuqian Empire will suppress them by force!"

"Young Master, wouldn't that just be openly telling the world that our Wuqian Empire has an unspeakable secret?" Wu Xingqiong said with some worry.

He had already anticipated that once this announcement was made, a large number of powerhouses would definitely converge on Wuqian Territory immediately, because it was somewhat like "protesting too much."

"The more, the better!"

Xu Duoduo's smile became somewhat enigmatic!

Wu Xingqiong's eyelids twitched. He smelled a hint of conspiracy from Xu Duoduo's words.

"Young Master, you want to..."

"It's too slow, the progress is too slow!" Xu Duoduo shook his head, "Instead of conquering one territory at a time, it's better to let them jump in themselves!"

"How long do you think it will take for the Wuqian Empire, with its foundation, to unify the Tianwu Imperial Domain? This time, at least half of the forces will gather here. Control them; if they are willing to submit, let them go. If not, kill them. There will always be some who know what's good for them!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingqiong's heart fluttered, and he quickly apologized.

"It is Xingqiong's incompetence. Please forgive me, Young Master!"

"This is not your fault!"

Xu Duoduo shook his head. Even if the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect was an Emperor Sect, it had already declined. Even with their help now, it still didn't have the strength to contend against all forces, so he didn't mean to blame the other party.

"Young Master, I still have one concern!" Wu Xingqiong looked at Xu Duoduo's expression.

"You're afraid these forces will unite?" Xu Duoduo understood his concern.

"Yes!"

Xu Duoduo smiled confidently, "On this point, I will seek help from within the family! My Xu Family has enough power to sweep across the entire Tianwu Imperial Domain, so why should we keep delaying?"

"Your subordinate will announce this matter at tomorrow's court assembly!"

Wu Xingqiong heard Xu Duoduo's words, his heart settled, and he immediately said.

Xu Duoduo nodded.

The next day at the court assembly, Wu Xingqiong announced it to the world.

As soon as the news came out, all sides were shaken.

"Good, good, good! Heaven has not forsaken me! Old scoundrel Wu Luo, your Wuqian Empire has truly become arrogant, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!"

In Wuan Territory, Ji Liantian laughed heartily after receiving the news!

He had already anticipated how many forces this news would displease!

Wuqian Territory!

"What a 'suppress by force,' truly absurd!"

"I will wait right here and see how the Wuqian Empire can suppress me!"

A middle-aged quasi-Martial God laughed in anger upon hearing this news. Although he was only a three-step quasi-Martial God, there were many quasi-Martial God powerhouses present, and he didn't believe the Wuqian Empire had the ability to suppress them.

"Indeed, I'd like to see if he can kill all of us?"

"We are gathered here, with our backing forces occupying most of the Tianwu Empire's territory. Where does the Wuqian Empire get its confidence?"

The Wuqian Empire's announcement could be said to have aroused the indignation of a group of powerhouses.

In their respective forces, they held noble statuses and were revered by billions of living beings. The Wuqian Empire's action could be said to have completely disregarded them; it was a blatant slap in the face.

Of course, they also feared a sudden attack from the Wuqian Empire and understood the importance of huddling together for warmth, gathering in one place.

Some were cautious and withdrew from the Wuqian Empire.

"Old man Fan, we just left like that. Is that a bit cowardly?"

In a certain Void Realm, six old men sat cross-legged. One old man in a fire-red robe frowned slightly.

"Old fellow, you've lived for so long, and it's all gone to the dogs!"

A gray-robed old man with sleepy eyes said lazily.

The fire-robed old man heard this and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You say, you say! If you can't explain it clearly, I will duel you!"

The other four old men looked at the two with no expression on their faces. After countless years, they had long grown accustomed to it.

"Heh!"

The gray-robed old man picked his ear, then blew on his fingernails, and said lazily, "Is the Wuqian Empire stupid? No. So, since they dared to say such words, do you think they have the confidence?"

"Even if they don't, at most it's just moving to another place to sleep. It's better than gambling your life on a 50% chance. Being careful is never a big mistake!"

The fire-robed old man heard this and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Wuqian Empire.

"What if they really do?"

"Then we'll just leave. Below us is Wuhua Territory, which is not yet their Wuqian Empire's territory!" the gray-robed old man said nonchalantly.

"Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?" the fire-robed old man said faintly.

As soon as these words came out, even the four old men who had been meditating with closed eyes opened them.

The gray-robed old man's eyes narrowed slightly, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. If we can't find the Lifespan medicine, then so be it!"

The five old men in fire-red robes heard this and their expressions became somewhat dejected.

The six of them came from Wusheng Territory. Wusheng Territory is located at the westernmost end of the Eastern Thirteen Territories. There are no Emperor Sects within its borders, only six top Holy Lands. Due to geographical reasons, the six families banded together for warmth, and it was precisely because of this that they managed to hold onto Wusheng Territory.

And now, the Lifespan of the six of them was less than 100,000 years. 100,000 years seems very long, but for people at their level, it passes in a blink of an eye.

When the Divine Spirit Ruins opened, they missed it because they were exploring other ruins, and their disciples did not obtain better Lifespan-extending items. That's why when they heard that the Wuqian Empire supposedly had a great treasure, the six of them took the risk.
