Chapter 557: – Disciples Of The Dao Palace, Brothers In Life And Death

The Theocrats hadn’t expected the dao palace to intercept the citizens of the Grand-Orient Realm due to two reasons . First, Autarch Qian didn’t know Li Wudi was aware of his whereabouts . And second, they didn’t think Tianming possessed the strength to kill Dongyang An and Meng Yifeng .

In the eyes of the Theocrats, Li Wudi, Bai Mo, and Ye Yi wouldn’t dare leave the Dao Palace . Hence, no one could stop Dongyang An .

“Godfather, has Autarch Qian returned?” asked Tianming .

“Not yet . He’s currently somewhere near the first of the Nine Divine Realms, the Archaion Divine Realm . Since I chopped off the autarch beast’s heads, he requires a saintly spirit herb that’s not found within the Theocracy to restore the beast to its original state . However, Autarch Qian has remained in one place for some time, so I’m guessing he already has a target . Once he obtains the herb he needs, he’ll definitely return . Before that, we must intercept those being escorted out of the Grand-Orient Realm,” Li Wudi said in all seriousness .

“Godfather, since you haven’t taken any action, you might as well go back . Just leave everything to me,” said Tianming .

The ability to determine Autarch Qian’s position might seem like a trivial matter, but was in fact a crucial detail . If they could, they should keep it a secret .

“That’s what I thought, too . You stay here . I’ll send Qin Jiufu and the others to the Azure River . Once they find the enemy’s ships, they’ll assassinate everyone so not a word of this leaks out . Their people are fourth-level sky saints at best,” said Li Wudi .

“Yes, I understand . ” Tianming nodded .

With that, Li Wudi went on his way . However, just after a few steps, he turned around and looked at Tianming, his gaze fiery .

“What’s the matter?” asked Tianming .

“Tianming, can you really take on a ninth-level sky saint?”

“Yes,” Tianming replied with certainty .

“I’ll discuss with Bai Mo and Ye Yi once I get back . Before Autarch Qian returns, we must kill Dongyang Yun and Dongyang Ling,” Li Wudi said coldly .

“Let Autarch Qian become a marshal without an army?” Tianming’s eyes lit up .

“Yes, if we aren’t bold, there’ll be no end to this . Your strength is a huge support to us . Without Autarch Qian, the dao palace’s powerhouses are far ahead in terms of strength . ”

“Godfather, to be honest, I can’t wait,” said Tianming .

“Yes, I’ll send someone over to replace you as soon as we make a decision . ”

Li Wudi disappeared into the night .

Rising to his feet, Tianming stared in the direction of the Divine Capital .

“The decisive moment is here!”

……

At night, thirteen Dazzling Warships prominently sailed, returning from a rewarding journey . In the darkness, a black sword flickered and a masked man in black armor passed through the masses .

Corpse after corpse fell to the deck . Silence prevailed, from the first ship to the last .

“Who are you?” A fourth-level sky saint chief of the Dazzling Pavilion noticed the abnormality .

“I won’t give my name, but you can call me a good Samaritan . ”

With a flick of a sword, the man was beheaded . In less than fifteen minutes, the Theocrats and people of the Dazzling Pavilion were all dead .

“It’s done . Come and save them,” Tianming shouted at the shore .

Sage Chen, Jiang Cheng, and the others came to help .

“Tianming, you’re like a hero, a chivalrous man,” said Jiang Cheng .

“Father-in-law, since I received your compliments, can I save on the betrothal gifts?” asked Tianming .

“No, the rules must be followed,” said the Vermillion Bird King .

They were on the second ship . After rescuing the people, Tianming sat and waited to acquire Omnisentient Will . Unfortunately, he waited for a long time .

“Come on, worship me!” he said to them .

“Who is this man?”

“I don’t know . With all that yelling, he’s probably a fool . ”

“Who on earth saved us?”

Everyone seemed at a loss .

On the other hand, Tianming appeared distant .

“Where’s my Omnisentient Will?”

Obviously, it wasn’t there . Realization dawned upon him .

“Damn it! It turns out acting pretentious is required!”

What a miscalculation!

He had to remain calm and rescue all these people . If the Theocrats were to learn of their failure, they might execute other plans aimed at the citizens of the Grand-Orient Realm . For example, slaughtering them in the Grand-Orient Realm . That would be a tragedy . But right now, the enemy seemed to have decided on the Skyreach River . In the silence, Tianming killed all of their people across seven ships .

He had managed to save eight million people so far . Although the victims on the first ship were the only ones who gifted him with Omnisentient Will, Tianming was satisfied . Witnessing their heartfelt joy at being rescued made Tianming just as happy .

Right then, Tianming stared into the distance, only to find that Situ Qinghe and Weisheng Yumo had arrived .

“Tianming, your godfather asks that you return . Autarch Qian is on his way back . We don’t have many opportunities, so they decided to take the risk,” said Weisheng Yumo .

“Alright . What about all this?”

“We’ll deal with it . ”

“My family’s here . I’ll place them in your hands,” said Tianming .

“No problem . Two ships have yet to show up, but they’re probably on the way . Judging from the time, Dongyang An should have been reaching the Divine Capital soon, if he hadn’t been killed by you . Our enemy will be suspicious, you must hurry back,” said Situ Qinghe .

“I understand!”

Lan Huang had already entered the Azure Sea, while Tianming and Feiling sat on each dragon head respectively . Ying Huo and Meow Meow stood on top of Lan Huang’s heads, full of mettle .

“Tianming!” Weisheng Yumo shouted .

“Hall King . ” Tianming turned around .

“The palace lord is still sleeping . I hope she wakes up to a peaceful world and sees how indomitable you are . ” Tears blurred Weisheng Yumo’s eyes .

“That’s for sure!” said Tianming .

He vowed not to let Weisheng Yunxi down .

“Fight, young man!” Situ Qinghe sighed, stroking his long beard .

Let’s go!”

Lan Huang roared, traveling along the waterway of the Skyreach River toward the Divine Capital .

“Theocrats!” Wings akimbo, Ying Huo stared in the direction of the Divine Capital with a fierce grin . “You’ll all lose your balls!”

……

The Evil Suppression Formation .

All Seven Astral Legions were assembled . Tianming, Li Wudi, Ye Yi, and Bai Mo stood in front of the troops . At present, the command to attack the Theocrats had yet to be issued . This was to prevent any informants from revealing intelligence . Most of those present were unaware of the reason the army had been convened . Bai Mo’s presence meant that the Evil Suppression Formation had been left to Ye Lingfeng .

“Tianming, they are already suspicious that Dongyang An’s army has yet to reach the Divine Capital . Additionally, at Autarch Qian’s speed, we still have eight days before he returns to the capital . Our goal is to completely defeat the opponent during this period of time,” said Li Wudi .

“I understand . ” Tianming nodded .

“This time, the Dazzling Pavilion’s warships were successfully intercepted and we managed to rescue the people of the Grand-Orient Realm . However, Autarch Qian has gone completely mad . Now that he’s embarked on this path, he’ll only keep trying once he’s suffered a setback . He’ll even head directly to the Grand-Orient Realm to kill the innocent . There’s no way we can withdraw . This time, we’ll wound the enemy and gain the upper hand, so Autarch Qian loses everyone,” said Li Wudi .

“An immoral man is capable of anything . If he goes mad, he might kill everyone in the Divine Capital and the surrounding cities . ” Tianming sneered .

A crazy man that becomes a demon must be destroyed . This wasn’t kindness on the Decimo Dao Palace’s part; they wanted to protect their homeland, annihilate the Nineshades Clan, and place the fate of the nation in the hands of a benevolent ruler . To put it bluntly, the Nineshades Clan were invaders who had occupied the Theocracy for tens of thousands of years, seizing the land and sucking its blood and life .

“This will be a tough battle . The two armies have about the same numbers, and we don’t have the support of a formation . However, we have two advantages . First, our legions are well established and unified . On the other hand, Dongyang Ling and Dongyang Yun’s armies are now allied . Although Dongyang Yun’s army possesses strong combat capabilities, they’re weak without Huang Chonghuan, who understands military strategy . The second point bears upon the key to our foray, that is, the number of powerhouses on our side . And Tianming is the focus of all this . This advantage is vital to our strategy . The three of us have discussed and made arrangements for you . ” Li Wudi turned to Tianming .

“Do tell,” said Tianming .

“Using the Bloodfiend Transformation, I’ll increase my combat power to the peak and lead the way for the Astral Legions . I won’t deal with their powerhouses . That way, I alone can kill at least a hundred thousand people! Hall Master Ye Yi will command the legions . Having him controlling the battlefield is the foundation of our combat effectiveness . So there’ll only be two people left—Hall King Bai Mo and you . Both of you will have to stop Dongyang Ling and Dongyang Yun from interfering with Ye Yi and me,” said Li Wudi .

“I understand! I can do it,” said Tianming .

When used to slaughter on the battlefield, Li Wudi’s Bloodfiend Transformation could certainly demonstrate a most terrifying effect, and would likely become the key to defeating the opponent . Tianming’s progress meant he could block the opponent’s powerhouses, so Li Wudi could give full play to his lethality!

“Choose one: Dongyang Yun or Dongyang Ling,” said Li Wudi .

“I’ll deal with Dongyang Yun . He’s more troublesome,” said Bai Mo .

“Hall King, I’ll do it,” said Tianming, his gaze fiery .

“Are you sure?” Bai Mo asked .

“Yes . ”

“How much Invincible Sword Ki have you integrated?”

“I took out the voidspace stone and I’ve now reached more than eight thousand,” said Tianming .

Bai Mo stared at him blankly . Smiling wryly, he said, “When we first took you out of the Ancient Qilin Clan, I never dreamed that you’d catch up to me in less than a year . Both you and your father must’ve been sent by the heavens to annihilate the Nineshades Clan! ”

“Tianming, your time of glory is here . You’ll be an unrivaled hero,” added Ye Yi .

Tianming nodded .

“Get ready!”

Ye Yi turned to face the warriors .

“Astral Legions, hear my command!”

“Yes, sir!” they all shouted .

“The first attack formation!”

The battle formation of the Astral Legions corresponded to the attributes of their lifebound beasts, their abilities, and the range of their attack . These warriors wouldn’t just thoughtlessly charge into battle .

The formation changed, resembling a sharp blade, at the forefront of which stood Li Wudi . Today, he would tear apart the heart of the Theocrats .

The Astral Legions were ready! Eyes grim, Ye Yi roared, “Disciples of the dao palace, brothers in life and death, come with me! Eradicate the Nineshades Clan!”
