Chapter 184: Ancient Divine Power
September 7, 2024
The city walls were stained with blood, and severed limbs and corpses were scattered everywhere. It was clear that a recent battle had taken place, and the smoke of war had yet to fully dissipate.
"Have the identities of the three Innate Masters been investigated?"
On the city wall, Gu Yang, his clothes stained with blood, looked down at the numerous bodies being carried away, his expression cold and stern.
The attack on Southern Harmony Prefecture.
A million-strong army could not be fully united.
Thus,
This battle was divided into six fronts.
Gu Yang himself led one of these armies, pushing deep into the heart of Southern Harmony Prefecture.
And the consequences of this action were severe.
Many forces in Southern Harmony Prefecture fought back fiercely, making every step of the Guangyang Army's advance extremely difficult.
Even Gu Yang, who was commanding from the center, had to personally join the fray.
By now,
He had lost count of how many soldiers he had slain.
The soldiers who died by Gu Yang's hand came from both the imperial forces and other rebel groups, as well as various sects and noble families.
Among them,
Several Innate Masters had also launched attacks.
If it weren't for the constant vigilance of the secret guards, they might have succeeded.
Behind him,
Gu Yi's expression was cold as he said in a low voice, "The identities of the three have been investigated. One is from the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, one from the Yin Clan, and the last one from the Lunar Spirit Sect!"
Gu Yang wasn't surprised that the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect would act.
However, when he heard the names of the other two forces, his expression turned noticeably colder.
"The Yin Clan... The Lunar Spirit Sect... I remember both have Fusion Realm experts, don't they?"
"Your Majesty is correct. According to the information from our secret guards, the Yin Clan currently has three Fusion Realm experts, and the Lunar Spirit Sect has four!"
Gu Yi nodded in response.
Gu Yang slightly nodded, then said, "Send for Gu Yun."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
A short while later,
Gu Yun arrived.
"Your Majesty!"
The current leader of the Divine Martial Sect also bore the aura of blood and slaughter, indicating he had just been through a fierce battle.
Gu Yang said, "The identities of the three Innate Masters who attacked me have been investigated. One is from the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, and the other two are from the Yin Clan and the Lunar Spirit Sect."
"I want you to lead the experts of the Divine Martial Sect to annihilate the Yin Clan and the Lunar Spirit Sect, leaving no one alive!"
As Gu Yang spoke, his expression was filled with a chilling killing intent.
Massacre and extermination.
Gu Yang didn't want to do this.
After all, things hadn't reached that point yet, and rash actions would only make the various sects and noble families more resistant to the Guangyang Army.
But the Yin Clan and the Lunar Spirit Sect had dared to act, so Gu Yang would no longer show them any mercy.
Gu Yun saluted and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. In front of the Divine Martial Sect, the Yin Clan and the Lunar Spirit Sect are nothing but small fries.
Within ten days, I will bring the heads of their leaders to present to Your Majesty!"
As Gu Yun finished speaking, Gu Yang's gaze locked onto him, his expression more serious than ever.
"Remember, I want every single member of the Yin Clan and the Lunar Spirit Sect eliminated!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Gu Yun's heart trembled, and he instinctively bowed his head in response.
After Gu Yang left, Gu Yun let out a long breath, his expression somewhat complex.
"This man's killing intent and authority grow stronger with each passing day. The waves of the Yangtze River push the previous ones back, I am truly getting old!"
Thinking about how he had been intimidated by Gu Yang's words, Gu Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh.
As the esteemed leader of the Divine Martial Sect, it was truly a loss of face for Gu Yun to be intimidated by a junior like Gu Yang.
However, Gu Yun did not dwell on it too much. Gu Yang was no ordinary junior; he was the King of Guangyang, commanding a million-strong army and having shed the blood of countless warriors. How could he be compared to others?
Without delay, Gu Yun summoned the powerful members of the Divine Martial Sect and led a ten-thousand-strong army toward the Yin Family.
The two great noble clans, the Divine Martial Sect and the Moon Spirit Sect, would not act separately. They would first crush the Yin Family and then turn their attention to the Moon Spirit Sect.
...
Heavenly Sun Sword Sect.
In the grand hall, the atmosphere was suffocating.
Seated on the former sect leader’s throne was a different person—Gu Shentong, the former deputy leader of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect.
However, the title of deputy leader was now a thing of the past. Since the fall of Gu Yutian, Gu Shentong had ascended to the position of sect leader, taking charge of all matters within the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect.
Below the throne, an elder of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect spoke gravely, "Sect Leader, the Guangyang Army is advancing with overwhelming force. Gu Yang not only commands a powerful force known as the Dark Guards but also has the Divine Martial Sect’s protection. It will be difficult to assassinate him.
If we cannot hold back the Guangyang Army, our Heavenly Sun Sword Sect’s millennia-old legacy will be utterly destroyed!"
"Since Gu Yang is leaving us no path to survival, we might as well fight them to the death!" another elder shouted in anger.
However, someone quickly shook their head, dousing the room with cold water.
"Gu Yang commands a million-strong army, and the Divine Martial Sect has already pledged allegiance to him. Furthermore, he has the backing of a Martial Saint, a title bestowed by the imperial court. What do we have to fight with?"
These words left many in silence.
Indeed, what did they have to fight with? Even at the peak of its power, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect could not stand against that Martial Saint, let alone now.
With the fall of Gu Yutian and a host of sect leaders in Guangyang, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect’s strength had waned significantly.
To fight Gu Yang, they would need the strength to do so.
Watching the ongoing debate, Gu Shentong raised his hand, silencing the hall.
"Gu Yang harbors deep prejudices against our sect of sorcerers. Since he rose to power, countless noble clans and sects have fallen at his hands. The Martial Saint has even forbidden sorcerers from entering Guangyang, which speaks volumes about their stance.
Even if the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect were to pledge allegiance to Gu Yang, there is no guarantee that the Martial Saint would accept us. Even if they do, our fate would be clear."
"Before us lies only one path—defeat Gu Yang and use all our resources to protect the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect’s stability!"
Gu Shentong’s words left the others with mixed expressions, each lost in their own thoughts.
After a moment, an elder bowed and asked, "What are your plans, Sect Leader?"
"Send a message to the Pei Family and have them coordinate with our actions. Mobilize the army to perform blood sacrifices in the cities, assisting me in taking the final step to the Life Creation Realm.
Additionally, send a team to Blood Mountain to perform a blood sacrifice and awaken the sealed evil entity within.
Since Gu Yang is leaving us no path to survival, we have nothing to hold back. If it comes to it, we will abandon Nanyang and ensure our survival. As long as we live, the legacy of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect will not be extinguished!"
Gu Shentong’s cold words sent a shock through everyone present.
