"Senior sister, no need for formalities."

Chen Sanshi entered the central command tent.

Xu Wencai, Qi Cheng, and others had been waiting there for a long time.

"See Your Majesty!"

Everyone spoke in unison and bowed in respect.

"No need to be polite."

Chen Sanshi asked, "What's the situation at the border?"

"Your Majesty."

Qi Cheng, holding a ruler, pointed to the hanging map: "Outside the Great Wall, there is an army of over a million Blood Demons attacking the city day and night. In addition, there are at least nine Golden Core cultivators of the Demonic Path stationed there, including Emperor Zhao Rui of the Demonic Song Dynasty, who is stationed outside the Great Wall. The whereabouts of the other high-level cultivators are currently unknown."

"On our side, there are more than two million troops stationed in Guangren Road and the two surrounding roads. There are Golden Core cultivators from various sects who have come to supervise and assist the troops. There should be Nascent Soul cultivators coming to assist later."

"Currently, the righteous and the demonic forces are in a stalemate, and no obvious weaknesses have been found in the enemy's forces."

"On the contrary, within Guangren Dao, batches of Blood Demons are constantly being born, causing us to be attacked from both sides, which is very troublesome."

"It seems this is going to be a protracted battle."

Chen Sanshi quickly assessed the situation: "The most urgent task is to find a way to curb the growth of the Blood Demon army. Although our Han army is large, it cannot be regarded as an inexhaustible resource."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Qi Cheng replied, "Your Majesty, I have dispatched a large number of troops and celestial officials to patrol the mortal realm, but I still cannot stop the trend of the people of Tianshui committing suicide and becoming demons."

"Notify me if another Blood Demon is born, and I will personally investigate."

Chen Sanshi said.

"That's right, Your Majesty."

Qi Cheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Guiyuan Sect is not far from the border, shouldn't we be more vigilant against them?"

Of all the sects in Tianshui Continent, those with an irreconcilable blood feud with the Han Dynasty are Guiyuan Sect and Shengyun Sect.

This time, the Han army has launched its attack on the other side's territory, so both sides will inevitably be wary.

Furthermore, the Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Sect, True Man Fengqi, is a genuine late-stage Core Formation cultivator. If things really escalate, on paper, no one in the Great Han Dynasty can rival him for the time being.

"Just keep an eye on it."

Chen Sanshi calmly gave the instructions.

What he needs to do is first enter the secret realm, resolve the crisis in the Divine Continent, collect spiritual items, and break through to the Glazed Golden Body Realm in martial arts as soon as possible.

Only with sufficient strength can one have the right to determine the subsequent course of events.

……

Guiyuan Gate, Golden Feather Peak.

All the Golden Core elders of the sect have gathered here.

"What should I do..."

A middle-aged cultivator paced anxiously back and forth in front of the crowd, his hands behind his back: "That man surnamed Chen has already arrived in Guangren Road. Who knows when he might make a move against our sect."

"Junior brother, why are you just like your senior brother? Aren't you a little too nervous?"

Master Fengzhi said dismissively, "That Chen Lei might not even have formed his core yet. What's so scary about a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Look at your pathetic self!"

"Second Brother, don't you think about it?"

The middle-aged cultivator said worriedly, "If that kid is really only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how dare he choose Guangren Road, right on our doorstep, as his garrison location? He clearly wants to use this opportunity to settle personal scores!"

"If you ask me, Kunxu is being dishonest in this matter."

A young-looking cultivator said, "It was clearly them who issued the holy decree that prompted us to try every means to recover our ancestral lineage."

"And now, things have gotten even better. Those people from the Han Dynasty have transformed themselves and come to Tianshui to command us!"

"Kunxu even told us that we must cooperate, which is simply a case of discarding us after we've served our purpose, and they don't care about our lives!"

"Senior Brother, what do you suggest we do?"

"Yes, senior brother, should we think of a way to find and get rid of that brat surnamed Chen?"

"..."

All eyes turned to the disheveled, toothless old farmer.

"How to do?"

Huang Laojiu, holding his wine gourd, sighed and said in a drawn-out tone, "Now we can only wait and see."

"At least for now, I can still keep an edge over him. As long as we get through this big battle, Kunxu should still find a way to reclaim Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"Senior Brother is right about that."

Master Fengzhi echoed, "Kunxu is merely using the man surnamed Chen to risk his life; there's no need to be overly anxious."

"Alright, everyone go do what you're supposed to do."

Huang Laojiu waved his hand, about to shoo the person away, when Cao Zhi suddenly came to his side and whispered in his ear.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately transformed into a beam of light, leaving the cliff and arriving at a dense forest behind the mountain.

Under the old locust tree, a monk in a green robe sat in front of a chessboard, playing a game against himself.

"Ouch!"

Huang Lao Jiu squeezed out a face full of wrinkles and stepped forward, saying, "True Lord Tian Sha, your presence is an honor! Gui Yuan Sect has failed to greet you properly, please forgive us! May I ask what brings you here, True Lord?"

"Two things."

Cao Xie stared at the chessboard without looking up and said, "First, I need to borrow something. Second, I need Fellow Daoist Fengqi's help."

"thing?"

Huang Lao Jiu was taken aback: "May I ask, True Lord, do I perhaps possess something that you, senior, would find appealing?"

Cao Xie said calmly, "The Two Elements Heaven-Covering Disc."

"The Heaven-Covering Disc?"

Huang Laojiu's expression became serious.

Nearly thirty years ago, he relied on the "Two Elements Heaven-Covering Disc" to sneak into the territory of Dongsheng Divine Continent, intending to kill Chen Sanshi in one blow, but was tricked by that mortal named Fang Qingyun.

He reached into his robes, fumbled around for a moment, then pulled out a cracked array plate and chuckled:

"This thing was originally the treasure of my Guiyuan Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years. However, its spiritual essence was lost and it was destroyed under the suppression of the Divine Continent's seal. Now it is of little use."

"If the True Lord wants it, then take it."

Huang Lao Jiu already had a vague idea of ​​what the stable boy wanted to do, and asked in a low voice, "Then the second thing is..."

Cao Xie placed a black piece and said calmly, "At that time, I may not be able to get away, so I need Fellow Daoist Fengqi to help stop him."

"Oh dear, this old man wouldn't dare do such a thing."

Huang Laojiu said with a troubled expression, "Kunxu has a sacred decree that no one can lay a hand on the boy surnamed Chen before the war between the righteous and the demonic ends. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the sacred decree, and I, an old man, cannot bear that responsibility."

In Tianshui Continent, the words "Imperial Decree" are like the golden words of an emperor in the mortal world, and all sects, large and small, regard them as the ultimate standard.

He lowered his stance even further and advised, "In my humble opinion, Chen Sanshi is certainly someone to be wary of, but he is still within a manageable range for now. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the war is over and let Kunxu take action? Wouldn't that save us some trouble?"

Upon hearing this answer, Cao Xie's hand, which was holding a chess piece, hovered in mid-air for a moment before he slammed it down, and he sneered, "Do you think you can live until then?"
