Chapter 176: Heavenly Net Palace Invades!

Pass on my orders: capture the people of the Azure City Ye Clan! Immediately! Take action now!

The voice fell!

The Black-clothed Emperor bowed respectfully to the Gu Lang Emperor, saying, "As you command!"

The other emperors present also acted according to the plan, one after another stepping out of the hall.

The Gu Lang Emperor slowly rose from the high seat and immediately flew toward the long-distance teleportation formation in Dead Prefecture.

Capturing the Ye Family and forcing Ji Fuyao to enter Dead Prefecture alone—this plan succeeded only halfway!

How to escape is the utmost priority!

Soon after.

The Gu Lang Emperor arrived at the site of the teleportation formation.

He had already, under the pretense of upgrading the formation patterns, suspended the teleportation here.

The teleportation formation here has only one purpose: to ensure he and Ji Fuyao can leave safely.

Moreover, after he leaves, all teleportation formations will self-destruct immediately, preventing that white-robed emperor from setting foot inside!

The Gu Lang Emperor began inspecting the formation.

Several Dead Prefecture Emperor-rank Formation Masters were entrusted with great profit; day and night they reinforced the formation patterns and infused the power of a palace master's edict into the formation, fully capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Nine-Star Emperor!

At this moment, several Emperor-rank Formation Masters were repeatedly checking the formation patterns everywhere; upon seeing the Gu Lang Emperor descend, they immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Gu Lang Emperor, the formation patterns are now flawless! We guarantee it with our heads!"

The Gu Lang Emperor nodded, saying, "Very well! Follow me to receive your rewards."

Hearing this, several formation masters followed the Gu Lang Emperor into a pavilion.

The Gu Lang Emperor's lips curled slightly as he asked, "Do you know what this formation is for?"

A gray-robed old man said, "It seems the Gu Lang Emperor is plotting some great matter, then using it to depart……"

Before he could finish, the Gu Lang Emperor flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying divine radiance shot toward the gray-robed old man.

Pfft!

The gray-robed old man instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist!

Body and spirit destroyed, he died instantly!

Seeing this, the other formation masters were horrified, hastily retreating and saying, "Gu Lang Emperor, we will surely keep your secret!"

The Gu Lang Emperor snorted coldly, "Only the dead can keep secrets."

His words fell!

Several formation masters were engulfed by a tremendous force, having no time to react, all turning into pools of blood, dead beyond death.

The Gu Lang Emperor collected several storage rings, gave a cold snort, and directly left this pavilion.

Boom!

Behind him, this pavilion also shattered instantly, turning to dust!

……

Black Flame Mountain Range.

Within the Rising Imperial Palace, Ji Fuyao sat upon the imperial throne, her visage absolutely beautiful yet lonely and cold.

Originally, everyone was enthusiastically discussing the preparations for the Rising Dynasty's grand ceremony, but as news came that the Tianyuan Old Ancestor had been besieged and killed, everyone's minds became unsettled.

The noisy atmosphere in the venue instantly stagnated.

Now even the Grand Dao Sect is in peril—how could a mere Rising Dynasty possibly rise?

The Tianyuan Old Ancestor is heavily injured, and that white-robed emperor has already been targeted by powerful foreigners and demons!

Surely, powerful foreigners and demons will soon descend upon the Black Flame Mountain Range!

This place has become a land of death!

Within the hall, each of the major powers that had originally intended to ally rose up, preparing to leave.

A middle-aged man bowed and said, "Sorry, the Feng Clan of my province needs to reassess the strength of the Rising Dynasty. Empress Fuyao, my Feng Clan will temporarily withdraw!"

Another black-robed old man, without hiding anything, said, "I see this so-called Rising Dynasty, not yet established, is about to collapse. Let's disperse!"

Seeing this, Ji Fuyao's expression turned icy.

Wang Man then roared outright, drew his imperial weapon, and shouted at the black-robed old man, "Damn it! What are you saying? Looking to die?!"

The black-robed old man showed no fear, looked at Ji Fuyao, and jeeringly smiled, "I suggest that this Empress Fuyao, who has not yet proven herself as emperor, should also quickly leave the Black Flame Mountain Range and return to the Grand Dao Sect. Otherwise, when foreigners and demons descend, the Black Flame Mountain Range will likely be bathed in blood!"

Wang Man's veins bulged on his face as he gritted his teeth, saying, "I see that without the Empress's permission, who dares to leave today?!"

The voice fell!

Numerous powers began to clamor.

"How? Is the Rising Dynasty intending to go to war with all the provinces?"

At this moment.

Ji Fuyao slowly rose from the imperial throne, a scarlet long skirt blazing like fierce fire, her voice cold.

Let them go!

Upon these words, the numerous powers in the venue all departed.

Only a handful of powers remained.

Ji Fuyao asked, "You may also leave."

Several powers, however, bowed respectfully to Ji Fuyao, saying, "Your Majesty the Empress, we are willing to follow."

They wanted to gamble everything!

Bet on the Grand Dao Sect, bet that Ji Fuyao's master can turn the tide!

They are the remnant forces that were nearly wiped out by the Heavenly Net Palace back then; their sole purpose in scraping by now is to witness the day the Heavenly Net Palace is destroyed.

And nowadays, in Nan Huang, only the Rising Dynasty possesses such obsession and potential!

Therefore, they did not wish to leave.

Ji Fuyao lightly nodded, "Very well. Then you may stay!"

Wang Man and Qingyan et al. showed a mysterious smile, "Congratulations on making the correct choice! Not like those rabble!"

Do the foreign powerhouses and demon powerhouses dare to come to Blackflame Mountain Range?

Hehe, Peak Master Lu is here!

Peak Master Lu's strength is enough to bury heaven, bury earth, bury all beings; no matter how many come, they are just courting death!

The remaining forces saw the imperial dragon guards' calm expressions and couldn't help asking, "Does that white-robed great emperor not fear the foreign great emperor and the demon great emperor?"

The imperial dragon guards said, "Even bearing the Blackflame Mountain Range, he is still invincible in the world!"

These forces were shocked.

Wang Man and Qingyan et al. lightly smiled, "When the time comes, you will naturally be able to witness that person's move!"

Several forces were shaken in their hearts.

Having come to this point, since they have already stood on Ji Fuyao's side, they immediately swore a heavenly dao oath and submitted to Ji Fuyao.

Shortly after, everyone withdrew from the main hall.

Ji Fuyao glanced aside and murmured, "Master, I always have an ominous premonition."

Chen Zhangsheng immediately appeared, wearing a white robe, his face shrouded in brilliant divine radiance, imitating Lu Xuan's tone as he said, "It's fine. When the time comes, I will act!"

…

Qingzhou.

Qingcheng, Ye family.

Ye family Ancestor and Clan Chief Ye Changfeng, etc., gathered in the main hall, they were discussing.

Clan Chief Ye Changfeng said, "Ancestor, recently the Grand Dao Sect's Heavenly Origin Ancestor was severely wounded and besieged, causing an uproar; moreover, there are rumors that the foreign great emperor and the demon great emperor are preparing to descend upon Blackflame Mountain Range to attack Peak Master Lu. How should we deal with this?"

Ye family Ancestor replied, "No problem. Since Peak Master Lu hasn't said anything, then everything is under his control."

Ye Changfeng sighed, "Indeed, this turmoil has become too great!"

Ye family Ancestor sighed, "Indeed, even as strong as the ancient Qin clan, they were wiped out in a single day by the Grand Dao Sect; although the Grand Dao Sect has deep foundations, it cannot withstand the siege of many hegemonic powers."

Numerous Ye family elders nodded.

Ye family Ancestor said, "However, Peak Master Lu is invincible! As long as he is present, the Grand Dao Sect can stand firm!"

Just then!

An anomaly suddenly occurred.

Boom—

Crack!

Above Qingcheng, Void Rending, space twisted!

An incomparably terrifying aura seeped out from the void rift, and the overwhelming imperial might, like the inverted sea, filled this region of Qingcheng, like falling stars, like a hundred thousand mountains descending.

In an instant, all cultivators of Qingcheng felt extreme palpitations; their souls trembled, their blood could not be restrained, and it seemed ready to burst from their meridians!

Terrifying!

Terrifying power!

Everyone raised their heads to look at the void.

What is happening?

What mighty being is about to descend upon Qingcheng?

The next moment.

Within the void rift, a huge edge appeared, dazzling like a rising sun; then an exceedingly ancient token emerged, its surface flowing with brilliant dao patterns like glittering stars, and an ancient aura filled heaven and earth.

The Ancient Azure Token kept flashing, and two exceedingly brilliant ancient characters slowly surfaced.

"Heaven! Net!"
