Chapter 622

Hmm… you're still somewhat useful; this War Heaven Squad has developed well.

However, you're still too weak; you need the Emperor's personal training to be truly useful.

Why don't I see their figures?

Clan Chief Yun Qianlou heard this and was very pleased; finally there was something that could earn his older brother's approval.

Reporting to the Emperor, I had them wait outside; after all, strictly speaking they are not part of the Yun family's forces, only loyal to the two of us.

Tell them to come in.

As you command.

After the order was issued, the three leaders of the War Heaven Squad quickly led twenty-seven war troops, marching swiftly and steadily in neat steps into the main hall.

At the front was the war troop leader, Zhan Kuang, who possessed God Master Sevenfold cultivation; to his left and right behind him were the two deputy leaders, one being Zhan Chi with God Master Fivefold cultivation, the other Zhan Yun also with God Master Fivefold cultivation.

All three leaders and the twenty-seven war troops wore heavy armor, their entire bodies encased in high-grade immortal armor and high-grade protective gear; they were armed to the teeth.

Moreover, each of them exuded an unparalleled terrifying battle intent; especially when they gathered together and advanced forward, a powerful pressure came upon them.

In the main hall, over two hundred Yun family elders and strongmen were all shaken by this surging battle intent.

Even the Grand Elder, who was in the God Master Eightfold Realm, couldn't help but feel a slight shock.

Although his cultivation meant he had nothing to fear from this War Heaven Squad, he was, after all, advanced in years.

As the saying goes, an old fist cannot match a young one; furthermore, the opposing side's combined battle formation strength was enough to rival his own God Master Eightfold Realm.

The War Heaven Squad nurtured by the clan chief is truly remarkable; with the Emperor's personal training, given time it will surely shake the entire immortal realm.

"War Heaven Squad leader Zhan Kuang, accompanied by deputy leaders Zhan Chi and Zhan Yun, and the twenty-seven war troops, pay respects to the clan chief! Pay respects to the Emperor!"

After stepping forward, Zhan Kuang first lowered his head and clasped his hands; the war troops behind him likewise bowed in unison, their voices uniform and respectful.

"Hmm, the aura is usable," the Nirvana Immortal Emperor nodded.

Then, after glancing at each of them, he added: "With the Emperor presiding, the land where the Yun Immortal Clan resides is the safest place; moreover, within the main immortal hall of the Yun family's heartland, you need not wear heavy armor at all times—the Emperor permits you to relax."

Take off your armor.

However, upon hearing this, Zhan Kuang and the others showed no reaction; instead, they looked with questioning eyes toward the clan chief seated at the lower right of the main seat.

They had all been raised step by step by the clan chief since they were weak.

In their eyes, the clan chief was their reborn parents, the clan chief was their steadfast faith, and only the clan chief's orders were valid—no one else's would do!

"Impudent! What are you staring at? The Emperor told you to take off your armor, so do it quickly! Do you still intend to defy orders?"

As soon as Clan Chief Yun Qianlou spoke, the War Heaven Squad immediately began to remove their heavy armor.

In the vast main hall, the sound of their armor being removed was especially loud, forming a stark contrast with all the elders, who had been frightened into holding their breath.

In this delicate situation, Yun Qianlou had no choice but to step forward, clasping his hands and saying: "Emperor, they are all warmongers, intoxicated with cultivation and battle, so they don't quite understand the rules; I hope you will be tolerant."

"Don't understand the rules? No problem; the Emperor just likes those who don't understand the rules."

The Nirvana Immortal Emperor said this in a flat, expressionless tone.

As his words fell, boom! Suddenly a powerful pressure surged and struck all of the War Heaven Squad who had just taken off their armor!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ah!

Pfft!

In an instant, the thirty members of the War Heaven Squad, whose combined strength could rival a God Master Eightfold, were all blasted out of the main hall, crashing heavily to the ground, their breath feeble, vomiting blood incessantly!

"Such an incident, the Emperor does not wish to happen a second time."

Upon hearing this, all the elders rose, trembling, and in unison respectfully said: "We will obey the Emperor's orders."

"Emperor, I have a proposal; I hope you will approve."

"I wish to relinquish the clan chief position and earnestly request the Emperor to take over; you once led our Yun Immortal Clan, and now, returning in strength, you ought to resume this post."

Yun Qianlou again stepped forward, clasping his hands respectfully.

The other elders, seeing this, hurriedly clasped their hands and echoed: "We earnestly request the Emperor to assume the position of Yun family clan chief."

"No need; the Yun family still has you as its chief, while the Emperor aims to become the lord of the entire immortal realm."

"This is also what the Emperor summoned you to announce: the Emperor will wage war against the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."

"This war concerns not only whether the Emperor can unify the immortal realm, but also the life and death of the Yun family; therefore, elders, feel free to speak your minds."

Given the gravity of the matter, the over two hundred elders and Yun family strongmen present began to discuss in whispers.

Let's go to war with Azure Clouds! This Azure Clouds Immortal Sect is not easy to deal with; although their rise time is short, they are strong, and nowadays Azure Clouds can be said to be the undisputed number one power in the immortal realm.

Control Azure Brush, sweep across Heaven Purple, destroy Holy Li, repel the Murong ancient clan of Heaven Outside Heaven, subdue such a colossus as the Divine Abyss Elixir Pavilion and thus control eighty percent of all alchemists in the immortal realm; countless major forces also rush to seek refuge, so I believe we must plan for the long term.

This elder feels that the little Azure Clouds is nothing to worry about; although Azure Clouds has a Sect Master at the Immortal Emperor Realm, our Yun Immortal Clan also has an Emperor seated in command.

Their Azure Clouds power is great; as long as our Emperor raises his arm and calls, other continents' elders dare not say, but in the Immortal Rainbow Dao Realm, aside from the Azure Brush Immortal Continent, the forces of the remaining three continents will surely gather and respond, and at that time the forces in the Nine Heavens Dao Realm and the Vast Ancient Dao Realm that have long suffered oppression by Azure Clouds will also join.

After the elders discussed it, none dared to rashly speak directly to the Nirvana Immortal Emperor, but they looked to the Grand Elder and Clan Leader Yun Qianlou; such a matter concerning the clan's life and death still needs to be decided by those two.

Grand Elder Yun Feiying only felt a chill down his back—Is that so? What are you looking at me for doing? You've caused me great suffering!

He furtively glanced at the main seat; upon discovering that the Emperor paid no heed to this at all, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Clan Leader, this matter concerns the life and death of over a hundred million of our Yun clan members, so the Emperor wants us to decide for ourselves; you speak, and we will follow you.

Upon hearing this, the silently non-participating Clan Leader Yun Qianlou stood up and declared without hesitation: 'I, as Clan Leader of the Yun clan, declare that the entire Yun clan will fully support the Emperor in unifying the immortal realm; we will go to war against the Azure Clouds Immortal Sect!'

On the main seat, the Nirvana Immortal Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

'Little Heavenly Son, I still have one matter to entrust to you.'

'Take the Emperor's token and head to the Flaming Prosperity Immortal Continent to find the Emperor's former subordinates in the Nirvana Immortal Sect; then you will unite all the major forces of the Flaming Prosperity Immortal Continent with them for our use.'
