Chapter 695: Zhongzhou Trembles

Qingtian Holy Land was defeated and fled; the Dao Yi Sect members also left quickly; the many cultivators gathered around, carrying complex feelings, also dispersed each on their own.

However, it is believed that it won't be long before this battle spreads throughout Zhongzhou.

In fact, that is exactly the case; in less than a day, all the major forces of Zhongzhou already learned the outcome of this battle.

Everywhere one can see cultivators discussing this battle between Dao Yi Sect and Qingtian Holy Land; each person's face shows a deep shade of terror, obviously unable to accept such an outcome.

"Really? Is it true that Qingtian Holy Land actually lost?"

"No way, does Dao Yi Sect also have a Great Emperor expert?"

"Truly unexpected."

In the Heavenly Feather Dynasty, Mu Feiyu, who was confronting his multitude of ministers, looked at the people before him with eyes full of killing intent.

"You insist on blocking me?"

Since learning that Qingtian Holy Land intended to act against Dao Yi Sect, Mu Feiyu decisively decided to ally with Dao Yi Sect to jointly resist Qingtian Holy Land.

But before he could issue the edict, the civil and military officials below one after another remonstrated unto death, refusing to agree no matter what.

At this moment, facing the enraged Mu Feiyu, the leading Chancellor, gritting his teeth, spoke.

"Your Majesty, this absolutely cannot be done; it would doom our Heavenly Feather Dynasty."

"Our Heavenly Feather Dynasty is strong, but how could it be a match for Qingtian Holy Land?"

"Allying with Dao Yi Sect to resist Qingtian Holy Land—what is this if not seeking death?"

Hearing the old Chancellor's words, Mu Feiyu narrowed his eyes, the killing intent in his gaze no longer concealed in the slightest.

Those familiar with her know that at this moment the empress has already given rise to killing intent.

Nevertheless, the old Chancellor still would not yield; there was no way—while all matters can be negotiated, this is a major affair concerning the nation's survival, leaving no room for compromise.

Regardless of what happened between Mu Feiyu and that Yu Mo, or how their feelings are, we cannot let the nation fall into the peril of destruction.

"Someone come........."

"Your Majesty."

Mu Feiyu spoke coldly, but just then a female official rushed in, delivering a spiritual voice transmission to Mu Feiyu.

In an instant, Mu Feiyu's face changed dramatically; he spoke in disbelief.

"What did you say? Dao Yi Sect won? Are you sure?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, it is absolutely certain; the scouts have confirmed it repeatedly."

This time, not only Mu Feiyu, but also all the civil and military officials present were stunned, unable to believe it.

"How could this be? How could Dao Yi Sect have won? This makes no sense."

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Holy Lord of Qingtian Holy Land personally took action—yet Dao Yi Sect could still win?

Finally learned that Yu Mo had broken through to the Great Emperor realm, relying on the Heavenly Tribulation to force back Qingtian Holy Land.

Upon hearing this news, Mu Feiyu's face showed not only deep shock but also a hint of joy.

"No wonder he's the man she took a fancy to."

Since Dao Yi Sect has temporarily rid itself of the threat, Mu Feiyu's anxious mood has also eased considerably.

Although Qingtian Holy Land's nature surely will not let this rest.

But now, facing Dao Yi Sect which has a Great Emperor enthroned, even if Qingtian Holy Land wanted to act, it would have to weigh its chances; it could no longer act as casually as before.

He swept an unhappy gaze over the civil and military officials present, then spoke in a calm voice.

"All of you, withdraw."

"Yes."

Having offended the empress this time so seriously, the civil and military officials naturally dared not say more; each responded respectfully, then silently withdrew from the hall, though their hearts had already been stirred by tumultuous waves.

Spirit Chef Alliance, the three alliance leaders sat together with worried frowns.

"How is it—have Yunluo Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land still not replied?"

"Yunluo Holy Land clearly stated it will not intervene; Jade Pool Holy Land has not yet responded."

"Alas.........."

These past days, they have exhausted their connections, tried every means to contact the people of the two great holy lands, hoping the two great holy lands would step forward to resolve this grudge.

But unfortunately, all were rejected; Jade Pool Holy Land even directly chose to ignore them.

This left the three alliance leaders truly at a loss as to what to do.

Just as the three were at their wit's end, an alliance steward rushed in, his face full of shock, and said.

"We won, Dao Yi Sect won."

"What did we win?"

"Dao Yi Sect defeated Qingtian Holy Land."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing this news, the three alliance leaders obviously stared in shock, their eyes full of suspicion, wondering what nonsense this fellow was spouting—Dao Yi Sect defeating Qingtian Holy Land?

They simply didn't believe it, but as the steward recounted the events, the three alliance leaders were left dumbfounded.

This Dao Yi Sect's Yu Mo actually broke through to the Great Emperor realm and defeated the Holy Lord of Qingtian Holy Land.

Such news left the three unable to accept it for a moment.

After staring blankly for a long while joy.

The stronger Dao Yi Sect becomes, the better it naturally is for our Spirit Chef Alliance, after all we have long been allied.

Now we have not only gained a Saint-level Spirit Chef, but also effectively gained a Great Emperor expert as our backing.

Having a Great Emperor expert as our backing, the three alliance leaders clearly understand what that means.

"Good, good."

Could not help but burst into loud laughter.

Such a scene is happening among all major forces; even the other two Holy Lands were startled upon hearing the news.

In Cloud Lingzhi Holy Land, Li Zhengqing was having tea with the Cloud Lingzhi Holy Lord, and they were talking about the conflict between the Dao Yi Sect and the Qingtian Holy Land.

As one of the first to receive the news, even now the Cloud Lingzhi Holy Lord couldn't help but sigh.

The heavens of Zhongzhou are really going to change.

Indeed, but the Qingtian Holy Land probably won't let it go like that.

Li Zhengqing said with some worry, and at the same time he missed Ye Zhangqing's craftsmanship; if it weren't for the recent overload of affairs and the troubles from the Qingtian Holy Land, he estimated he would already have gone to seek out the Dao Yi Sect members.

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Lingzhi Holy Lord smiled faintly and said.

It's not just a possibility; it's certain. However, the Qingtian Holy Land will also weigh its options, after all, a single Great Emperor's deterrence far surpasses that of more than a dozen Great Saints.

The Cloud Lingzhi Holy Lord knows the Qingtian Holy Land's temperament well, but what does that have to do with their Cloud Lingzhi Holy Land?

Yaochi Holy Land can be said to be the most mysterious force in Zhongzhou.

Although it is one of the Three Holy Lands, it hardly interacts with the outside world; people only know that the Jade Pool Holy Land is very strong, not at all weaker than the other two Holy Lands.

Besides that, the only thing known is that all disciples inside the Jade Pool Holy Land are female.

In the entire Haotu Shijie, nearly all female cultivators with extraordinary talent aim to join the Jade Pool Holy Land.

A valley shrouded in clouds and mist is where the Jade Pool Holy Land resides; its protective grand formation is open year-round, making it impossible for outsiders to enter, or even approach.

In the central hall, two women wearing light veils smiled gently and said.

Senior Sister, I didn't expect the Dao Yi Sect to actually have such skill.

It's just a temporary victory; although a single Great Emperor is enough to make the Qingtian Holy Land wary, to truly oppose it, they are still far short.
