Chapter 279 - 5: Co-opting the Ancestor of Wu Xiang?_1
Not just the folks from Dayu Immortal Dynasty, even those from the Gate of Life and Death were utterly dumbfounded.
Emperor Hongyun ran away, what should they do now?
Particularly, those Immortal Emperors who willingly joined the Gate of Life and Death, assured by the protection that came with it, now they had nothing left.
Emperor Hongyun’s escape signaled the deterministic end of the war.
The rest of them, merely chickens and dogs.
“Empress Dayu, we want to join the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, is that acceptable?”
“Yes, we also intend to join the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.”
After going through the ordeal of the Gate of Life and Death, all the Immortal Emperor’s forces understood that even an Immortal Emperor has no means to protect themselves amid this upheaval.
In order to survive in this chaotic age, it’s crucial to have backers.
In the current Everbright Realm, the most solid backing, is naturally the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.
Residual forces of the few Immortal Emperors all expressed their wishes to join the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.
This was surely good for the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, Ye Xiaoxiao certainly wouldn’t refuse.
By joining the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, it didn’t mean they had to dissolve, they just needed to give tribute, then they could receive protection from the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.
As for whether the Dayu Immortal Dynasty could protect them, Ye Xiaoxiao wasn’t worried in the slightest.
If she couldn’t protect them, there was always Ye Fan.
Next, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty began its counter-offense against the Gate of Life and Death.
Star Corps first assault displayed their impressive strength.
This time, even the upper echelon of the Gate of Life and Death had to pay attention to the formidable fighting prowess of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty’s army.
The overall cultivation level of the Star Corps currently was not particularly good, and was able to contend with the Immortal Emperor simply on account of their peculiar army soul.
If the Star Corps managed to elevate their cultivation level, would they become even stronger?
This question was essentially affirmative; the army soul was still controlled by the army that nurtured it.
In the army, the stronger the level of cultivation of the legionaries, the more potent the army soul would become.
With the Star Corps, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty had gained formidable power recognized by the entire Three Thousand Realms.
It was no longer completely reliant on the influence of Ye Fan, which deterred other forces from provoking them.
The Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death, lacking Emperor Hongyun, was incapable of resisting the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.
The territory once occupied had to be obediently regurgitated.
Dealing with the Gate of Life and Death, Ye Xiaoxiao showed no mercy, exterminating every one of them.
Upon joining the Gate of Life and Death, they had all gone through the brainwashing of The Ancestor of Wu Xiang, making it almost impossible to become normal human cultivators again.
Facing such unstable factors, Ye Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn’t allow them to persist.
If their own people had already evacuated from within the Life and Death Gate, then the remaining ones were all enemies!
At this moment, the cultivators of the Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death were incredibly nostalgic for their supervisor, Su Yan.
If Su Yan was still here, they surely wouldn’t have lost so tragically.
To the supervisor, Emperor Hongyun, they harbored immense hatred.
The main hall chiefs rapidly made a decision to collectively sue Emperor Hongyun for incompetence and called for Su Yan to return and take charge of the Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death.
“This is your so-called talented disciple?”
The Ancestor of Wu Xiang finally seized an opportunity to criticize Black Cloud Daozu at the high-level conference of the Gate of Life and Death.
Black Cloud Daozu held his grievances in heart, but had no way to retort.
This time, Emperor Hongyun’s folly was too great, it almost obliterated the entire Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death.
Even if he was the disciple of a Taoist Ancestor, he still couldn’t escape the chastisement.
“I will account for this matter to the Sect Hierarch.” Black Cloud Daozu said in a solemn voice.
“As long as you understand. The Sect Hierarch is about to awaken and henceforth we cannot have any unexpected occurrences. It’s time to change the person in charge of the Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death.”
The Ancestor of Wu Xiang’s pent-up disappointment immediately dissipated.
Thinking of Emperor Hongyun, The Ancestor of Wu Xiang secretly rejoiced; his own disciple was sufficiently powerful and never brought him any trouble.
This time Emperor Hongyun’s mistake, at least half of it would reflect on Black Cloud Daozu.
If this had been earlier, even if Black Cloud Daozu made a mistake, no one would hold him responsible.
But now, their Sect Hierarch was about to awaken, and any mistake would be noted down.
Emperor Hongyun got wind of Ye Xiaoxiao’s attack against the Everbright Realm’s Gate of Life and Death and was extremely anxious.
Emperor Hongyun also realized that he messed up big time and felt that he could barely handle it now.
Just as Emperor Hongyun planned to reach out to his master for help, a roll of black cloud directly swept him away.
The next time Emperor Hongyun opened his eyes, he found himself at the headquarters of the Gate of Life and Death.
Except for the higher-ups of the Gate of Life and Death, there was also another person present: Su Yan.
It was Su Yan’s first time coming to the headquarters of the Gate of Life and Death, and she was curious to have a look around.
Especially when she saw a pitch-black statue, she was utterly captivated.
Su Yan could sense that within the statue, it seemed like unspeakable vile existed.
In the void, threads of dark smoke continued to enter the body of the statue.
This dark smoke, it seemed to have been transported over from various vast worlds.
At this moment, Su Yan had a touch of understanding in her heart.
The Gate of Life and Death and Yin and Yang Door stirred up so much chaos in the many vast worlds, all seemed to be for this statue.
Regrettably, with her current status, Su Yan didn’t have the privilege to know the specific meaning of this statue yet, she would have to wait until an opportunity came to further explore.
“Hongyun, do you know your crime?”
As soon as Emperor Hongyun appeared, he was directly confronted by a higher-up of the Gate of Life and Death.
