Chapter 1731 — A Senior's Masterful Hand Breaks the Deadlock
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 5
In this battle, it was hard to say whether the most crucial link lay on Shen Mu's side or on the side of Wuyou Township. For if either place fell, both Jingping and the Yuan Realm would be lost.
When the Heavenly Venerable Yun descended from Wuyou Township, the Heavenly Venerable Yue, the God King Langwan, the Heavenly Venerable You, Taishi, and Lan Yutian each met their own opponents.
The Heavenly Venerable Yue and the God King Langwan soared into the air to block the Ancestral God King, who sought to fly over Wuyou Township and lead the Xuandu Sun Guardians in an assault on Jingping. The Heavenly Venerable You confronted the Heavenly Venerable Xu, who had stormed into Youdu of the Yuan Realm. Taishi, practiced as ever in such matters, moved to block the two Taiji Ancient Gods. Each of the three summoned their companion supreme treasures and earnestly tried to persuade their opponents.
As for Lan Yutian, he muddled his way into facing Madam Yuanmu, striking terror into the hearts of all who witnessed it.
The Heavenly Venerable Yun, meanwhile, walked toward the Heavenly Emperor Hao.
One by one, the Heavenly Venerables and Dao Achievers strode through the air, while below surged a torrent of gods and demons, spreading out from three sides of Wuyou Township. The battlefield even extended to Taihuang Heaven, and the whole of Taihuang Heaven was ablaze with the fires of war!
The Heavenly Court's offensive this time was terrifying in the extreme. They had committed their full strength. Even with Wentian Pavilion coordinating the overall situation, even with Yan Yunxi, Zhuo Cha, and Hantang each commanding a front, even with the Founding Emperor Yiyue personally taking the field, the flames of war still reached Wuyou Township under the full deployment of the Heavenly Court's Three Masters!
The Heavenly Venerable Yun ignored all of this and went straight to meet the Heavenly Emperor Hao.
The Heavenly Emperor Hao was presently in male form. The Second Young Master had merely been astonished that Shen Mu could slay the eight Ancient God avatars of the Spirit Official Hall Master in such a short time, and had come out to take a look. But she had no interest in the great decisive battle at Wuyou Township, and so had yielded the body back to the Heavenly Emperor Hao.
"Yun, you are merely a defeated general beneath Our command."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao's gaze fell upon the Heavenly Venerable Yun's face, then slid away, looking toward the highest level of Wuyou Township, the Taiqing Realm. He said leisurely, "What an exquisite scheme. The Spirit Official Hall Master's physical body has been transformed into Ancient Gods in every part. He can send avatars to slay the leaders of Wuyou Township, Jingping, Tianyin, the Buddhist Realm, the Daoist Sect, and the Beast Realm one by one. This is striking at what they must save. The Heavenly Venerable Mu has one weakness: he values kinship and friendship too greatly. I perceived his weakness long ago. Whoever has a weakness is not invincible."
He smiled and said, "Whether or not the Spirit Official Hall Master can slay these pillars of Jingping, my strategy has already succeeded. That is, to force the sentimental Heavenly Venerable Mu to leave Wuyou Township and go to the rescue. With him absent from Wuyou Township, Wuyou Township cannot withstand Us and Our armies. In this battle, Wuyou Township can be pacified."
The Heavenly Venerable Yun said calmly, "Heavenly Venerable Hao, but you have forgotten—I am still here."
"You also have a weakness, Heavenly Venerable Yun."
