Chapter 542

The West Continent Fomen's response was swift; at this moment, the first batch of Fomen powerhouses had already set out on the road to Dongzhou.

With the betrayal of Universal Salvation Temple, it can be said that all the effort the West Continent has put into Dongzhou over the years has been destroyed in one fell swoop; this resentment, the West Continent Fomen naturally cannot swallow.

On the star vessel, the few Fomen saints leading this troop sat circled in the cabin, their faces grim as they spoke.

"This time we will definitely make the Dao Yi Sect pay a price."

"Of course, this is the decision of the Buddhas; they have gathered the strength of the entire West Continent, what is there to fear about not being able to take down the Dao Yi Sect?"

"Nevertheless, one must not be careless; according to the news, the Dao Yi Sect already dominates the entire Dongzhou, its strength is incomparable to before."

"What of it? Our Fomen has dominated the West Continent for many years; its foundation is not something the Dao Yi Sect can compare to."

Whatever happens in Dongzhou cannot escape the notice of the Fomen.

Moreover, the rise of the Dao Yi Sect is almost common knowledge, not a secret at all, and certainly cannot be hidden.

So regarding every move Dongzhou has made recently, the Fomen still knows.

Even so, the Fomen has made the decision to attack Dongzhou, showing that they are not at all afraid of the Dao Yi Sect.

Over a hundred star vessels flew across the horizon in a mighty procession, carrying tens of thousands of Fomen disciples aboard.

This is merely one of the troops; many more Fomen powerhouses have not yet set out.

The news that the Fomen had set out was transmitted back to the Sect by Shadowless in the first moment; at the same time, Shadow Peak has already begun the work of withdrawal.

Some were left to remain hidden in the West Continent, while the others returned to Dongzhou in batches.

A war between the two continents, especially one like this between the Fomen and the Dao Yi Sect, the two continental overlords, is a rare major event in the Haotu Shijie.

Such a war of this scale is far beyond what sect wars can compare to.

Without exaggeration, this is an unparalleled great war that combines the strength of the two continents.

Therefore, not only are the Dao Yi Sect and the Fomen paying attention to each other, but even the North Continent Demon Race, the South Continent Barbarian Tribe, and some holy lands of Zhongzhou have received the news in the first moment.

Regarding this, everyone's thoughts vary, and their ideas are completely different.

Take the North Continent Demon Race, for example; they are absolutely delighted to see this happen.

Because whether it's the Fomen or the Dao Yi Sect, they are both internal wars of the Human Race; as the Demon Race, they are naturally overjoyed.

The South Continent Barbarian Tribe is likewise.

Only some holy lands of Zhongzhou hold a different view on this.

At this moment within Zhongzhou, amidst a mountain range wreathed in clouds and mist where the Dao is thick, magnificent buildings appear and disappear.

And on the summit of one of these mountains, two old men are playing chess.

They show no trace of aura, looking like two utterly ordinary old codgers.

But if one thinks that, they would be gravely mistaken; the cultivation of these two has already surpassed the Great Saint Realm.

Placed in the other four continents, such powerhouses simply do not exist.

The Haotu Shijie has, since its birth, always been a pattern of five continents.

However, although called five continents, in reality the other four continents compared to Zhongzhou are equivalent to four small islands.

In the eyes of Zhongzhou's powerhouses, the remaining four continents are barbaric wildlands.

The heavenly and earthly laws are not yet perfected, and Línglì cannot even compare to that of Zhongzhou.

Besides that, there is also area; simply put, the combined area of the other four continents is still less than one-tenth of Zhongzhou's.

It can be said that Zhongzhou is the true center of the entire Haotu Shijie world, and the holy lands are the true hegemons of Zhongzhou.

However, up to now Zhongzhou has remained a situation of warlords contending for hegemony; the various holy lands have been passed down for countless years, yet no one has ever managed to truly unify Zhongzhou.

Meanwhile, these two old men, one holding a chess piece and the other speaking casually.

"Xizhou is about to go to war with Dongzhou."

"The Dao Yi Sect probably isn't a match for the Fomen."

"Let someone go on a trip; this battle has no meaning and will only benefit the other side for nothing."

The situation in Zhongzhou is even more complicated; not all of the major holy lands belong to the Human Race.

The Demon Race and the Barbarian Tribe each have their own holy lands.

And the civil war among the Human Race is obviously not something the two old men wish to see.

"I'm afraid those other places won't readily agree."

"No problem, just block them."

"That works too."

From their conversation it's not hard to hear that, to them, the great war between the two regions seems hardly a big deal at all.

It can easily be stopped; what they truly worry about are the other few holy lands.

Little did they know that even the Zhongzhou holy lands have already begun to pay attention to this matter; at this moment, inside the Dao Yi Sect, Qi Xiong has already summoned Su Luoxing, Chen Qingyu, and the Sect Masters of the various major sects together.

Since we are going to deal with the Fomen, we must surely gather the strength of all of Dongzhou.

After briefly explaining the matter to everyone, upon hearing it, all the people in the hall had strange expressions.

Needless to say, Chen Qingyu and the others definitely cannot remain uninvolved.

As subordinate forces of the Dao Yi Sect, when the Dao Yi Sect goes to war with the Fomen, they naturally must join in.

Even if the Dao Yi Sect were to use them as cannon fodder, sending them to the front lines, they would have no way to refuse.

However, Qi Xiong had no such intention.

After that came the Talisman Sect and Blacksmith Valley; these two major forces unreservedly expressed their full support for the Dao Yi Sect.

Magic treasures, spiritual treasures, and Talisman Seals of all levels will fully support the Dao Yi Sect.

In response, Qi Xiong laughed and gave thanks, while Wang Tieshu, in turn, boldly put his arm around Hong Zun.

"Brother, what are you saying? My relationship with Hong Zun also counts as being part of the Dao Yi Sect; how could I stay out of it?"

The heroic resonance of his voice caused echoes to ripple throughout the entire hall.

And among the many Sect Masters and Sect Leaders present, at this moment they all looked at Hong Zun with strange expressions.

Hong Zun, who was leaning in Wang Tieshu's embrace like a little bird depending on a person, secretly gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't go too far, let go of me."

This posture made Hong Zun unable to restrain a feeling of shame and anger; this damn bullying is too much, I, a damn seven-foot-tall man, you're putting me here.............

"Brother Hong, don't mess around."

He simply ignored Hong Zun's struggle; Wang Tieshu's pair of sturdy arms, like iron clamps, tightly held Hong Zun, giving him no chance to break free.

I really don't understand why this woman doesn't cultivate her body, but instead insists on becoming a Weapon Refiner.

With your innate talent, if you went for body cultivation, you'd probably have to step aside even for Capture Dragon.

Look at this strength, these sturdy limbs, this........... roughness, skin like steel — which of these isn't born for body cultivation?

As for the other people present, seeing Wang Tieshu and Hong Zun's lovey-dovey appearance, they could only all chuckle along.

"Congratulations, Grand Elder Wang, congratulations, Peak Master Hong, lovers finally become family."

"Haha, yes, speaking frankly, the affection between Grand Elder Wang and Peak Master Hong can already be considered a legend of our Dongzhou."
