Chapter 1015 The Day of the Decisive Battle
Time flies, and the day of the decisive battle is fast approaching.

Guests from all directions gathered in southern Xinjiang, eager to be among the first to witness this top-level battle up close.

Lord Shen is recognized as the third strongest in the world, an invincible expert at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Sect, and is hailed as the world's number one pillar supporting the heavens.

Although the tiger corpse had wasted many years, it underwent a transformation and, after merging with the demon king's corpse, activated its former talents and abilities, instantly becoming one of the most outstanding figures in the world.

Both have the potential to become Martial Saints, and it is highly likely that they will have a sudden inspiration during their fight and break the shackles of the Martial Saint.

From a political perspective, this battle is also related to the long-standing peaceful situation in southern Xinjiang, and its significance is extraordinary.

Lord Shen's position is too important. He controls the southern border of fifty states and is the spiritual leader of the powerful families. Any slight mishap will have a devastating impact.

At least for now, no one can fill the power vacuum left by Lord Shen's death in battle.

"Um?

Zhou Nanwang set off first and had been waiting in the southern border region for many days. When he saw Zhou You arrive late, he immediately noticed the change in him.

"Where's that stone bead bracelet you always wear?"

Zhou You showed his bare wrist, "It's broken, all broken!"

"Oh!"

Zhou Nanwang didn't ask any further questions.

Zhou You also prepared a set of logically autonomous arguments.

The space of Tianzhu Mountain was on the verge of destruction due to the aftermath of the fierce battle, but was stabilized by the use of a small cauldron at the critical moment.

Afterwards, Zhou You spent considerable effort attaching spatial energy to the small cauldron.
This move not only solved the immediate crisis but also brought an unexpected surprise: the space based on the small cauldron was able to withstand the aftershocks of the Heart Demon Ring and the main body's full-force attack.

Zhou You tried hundreds of times, gradually increasing the intensity each time, but in the end he still hadn't figured out the limits of the space.

The most obvious change brought about by this is that the stone bead string completed its historical mission and shattered into a pile of rubble.

The space was transferred to the small cauldron, which was then absorbed into the body, transforming from tangible to intangible.

Zhou Nanwang noticed the difference at a glance, asked casually, and didn't take it to heart.

Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting the stone bead bracelet to be so important, now tied to his personal image.

"The Six Gentlemen have arrived from the capital and are currently paying their respects to the Great Gentleman."

Zhou Nanwang took Zhou You to see the Great Gentleman, and inadvertently mentioned the Six Gentlemen.
Well, the presence of these six gentlemen among the sons of the feudal lords has always been very low. Unlike the great gentlemen, the three gentlemen, the five gentlemen, and the eight gentlemen, the six gentlemen were not the legitimate sons, so they had no hope of inheriting the throne.

In addition, he was very good at interpersonal relationships, and he was adept at navigating relationships among his brothers, never offending anyone and always able to get on everyone's good side.

Zhou You had heard of him before, but had never had the chance to meet him. Today, he finally had the opportunity.

"Elder brother, this is my twenty-third grandson. He was just born last month. Look at him, his eyebrows look just like mine!"

The six gentlemen happily described their newly acquired grandson to the eldest gentleman.

The gentleman's expression had never been so gentle; he listened attentively with a faint smile on his lips.

When Zhou Nanwang and his son arrived, this was exactly what they saw.

"The Great Gentlemen, the Six Gentlemen!"

Zhou Nanwang politely bowed.

The Grand Gentleman stood up and introduced them to him, "Sixth Brother, these two are the Governor of Li Huo Prefecture and the Lord of Nan Chen Prefecture."

"Back in Beijing, I'd heard so much about you!"

The Six Gentlemen were younger than the Great Gentleman, but they looked like men in their early fifties.

This shows that his martial arts skills were quite rudimentary and could not prolong his life much.

As a member of the imperial family, he did not extend his lifespan to enjoy more wealth and honor, but instead experienced the same normal birth, aging, illness, and death as ordinary people, thus creating a huge gap between him and his brothers.

No wonder all the gentlemen do not suspect him. Zhou You thought to himself, "This sixth gentleman is wise beyond his years, discerning in his self-preservation, and avoids worldly strife. He is truly brilliant!"
But why would someone like him risk his life to come to southern Xinjiang?

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the six gentlemen rose to take their leave.
"Elder brother, you heard what Father asked me to convey, you... sigh!"

A hint of sadness flashed across Dajunzi's face. "Sixth Brother, this is between him and me. Don't interfere."

It seems that the relationship between the great gentleman and the feudal lord is somewhat tense.

Zhou You lowered his head. At this moment, he shouldn't be presumptuous. Some things are too sensitive. He should pretend he didn't hear them.

After the six gentlemen left, the eldest gentleman's gaze fell on Zhou Nanwang and Zhou You.

He immediately asked Zhou You, "Where's that string of stone beads you're wearing?"

Alright, so you're all eyeing this string of things in your hands, huh?

"Broken!"

Zhou You spoke the truth, waiting for the gentleman to ask why so he would give a pre-prepared answer.

Unexpectedly, the gentleman, like Zhou Nanwang, only asked casually and did not delve into it further.

He summoned Zhou Nanwang and the other man because of the recent battle between the demon soldiers on the border of Lihuo Prefecture.

That great battle caused a sensation, affecting several states in the southeast, and even severely damaging the fiefdom of the great gentleman.

Dozens of cities suffered catastrophic destruction, countless residents perished, and agricultural resources such as fields, canals, rivers, dikes, mines, and medicinal herb fields were severely damaged.

Unlike demonic creatures, demonic soldiers cannot be refined after death; they are merely stinking skins.

The Great Gentleman was also troubled. Although a large number of demon soldiers had died, the great demon he had raised with Gu poison had escaped.

The local area was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. It required taking stock of the losses and allocating funds for reconstruction. This involved cross-border coordination between the fiefdom and Lihuozhou. Many things required his personal attention to get things moving.

Zhou Nanwang and Da Junzi discussed the matter for a day and a night before finalizing the disaster relief and reconstruction plans.

And then there's the most important thing this time: the final battle.

"The location is on the east-west dividing line, where a unique pillar stands tall against the sky."

"Neither side prohibited onlookers, but life and death are preordained, and those who are accidentally killed in the aftermath should not be held accountable."

Upon hearing this, Zhou You subconsciously nodded in agreement, and looking at Da Junzi and Zhou Nanwang, their reactions were also normal.

In the days before televised broadcasts, if you wanted to watch something exciting, you had to go live, and even then, you had to sign a waiver of consent.

The two combatants, Tiger Corpse and Lord Shen, are both top-tier experts of the Heavenly Sect in this era.

When these two go all out, they can punch a hole in the sky and turn the earth's crust upside down countless times.

It's no exaggeration to say that there are thresholds to watching a spectacle, and you need qualifications to be a spectator. Don't just die in vain.

"Has no one come from the Northern Lands or the Dijing Sword Sect?"

Zhou Nanwang asked a question.

The Northern Lands are represented by Zhenbei Ge, and the Capital Sword Sect is represented by Tiannan Shenjian. Both of them are from the most prestigious sects.

This decisive battle is extraordinary and will greatly benefit their cultivation, but I haven't heard of these two sending anyone over.

The gentleman shook his head, "They don't need to come!"

Zhenbei Ge and Tiannan Shenjian have cultivated their fist skills to a level that transcends worldly conventions. Their fist intent and thoughts can traverse the four directions of heaven and earth, and with a single thought, they can see what is happening at the ends of the earth.

They can see the live broadcast clearly no matter where they are, without having to be there in person.

Zhou You realized that Zhou Nanwang was clearly not asking about that; he seemed to have other doubts.

Since he couldn't get any information out of him, he simply kept quiet, and everything would be revealed on the day of the decisive battle.
