“Looking at it this way, it really doesn’t seem that difficult!”
An elder said.
“Hmph, you’re dreaming!”
“If those Demon Race bastards find out that the barrier can be expanded, they will anticipate the consequences and will definitely try their hardest to block it!”
“The difficulty involved is beyond imagination!”
Many elders shook their heads, especially considering the vast number of demons!
At that time, all the Demon Gods stood before the barrier. How could they possibly expand the barrier?
“What about the long-term plan?”
An elder hurriedly asked.
“The long-term plan... hmm, it’s still quite far from us!”Chu Jingyue hesitated.
“What exactly is it? Just say it!”
“Since it is the Beast God’s order, no matter how difficult, we must accomplish it!”
“Yes, there’s no harm in saying it!”
“Alright, the long-term plan is to launch a counterattack on the Demon World and annihilate Hell!”
“Uh...”
All the elders scratched their heads.
This plan is truly far-reaching.
Counterattack the Demon World,
annihilate Hell,
only the invincible Beast God would dare to say something so confidently!
“Currently, that is definitely impossible. For now, we need to find a way to expand the barrier and reclaim the Mortal Realm from the Demon Race!”
“But whether it’s the long-term plan or the short-term plan, the development of the Chu family is unstoppable, and the activation of the Chrono Pagoda is inevitable!”
“Quickly go and arrange for those clan members with lower cultivation but high potential to be notified. The Chrono Pagoda’s activation will not wait for anyone!”
Chu Jingyue said to the gathered elders.
As long as resources are sufficient, once the Chrono Pagoda can be activated, it should not be closed unnecessarily!
“Reporting to the clan leader, envoys from the Forbidden Lands request an audience!”
At that moment, someone suddenly came to report.
The elders furrowed their brows.
What are the Forbidden Land envoys here for?
Hadn’t those guys already allied with Hell’s Gate and the Demon Race?
“Which Forbidden Lands are they from?”
Chu Jingyue asked with a frown.
“Reporting to the clan leader, they are from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Burial Sky Ancient Land, and Divine Sword Tomb!”
“The three Forbidden Lands?”
Chu Jingyue knew that these three Forbidden Lands were different from the others; they had not cooperated with Hell’s Gate or the Demon Race.
Especially Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, which once even discussed an alliance with the Beast God, and the Beast God did not refuse!
“Then let them come. Let’s see what their intentions are by appearing at this time!”
Taking advantage of the elders all being present, Chu Jingyue planned to meet them.
Not long after, the three Forbidden Land envoys arrived at the main hall.
“Greetings to the Chu family clan leader and the esteemed elders!”
The three envoys clasped their fists respectfully.
After sipping tea, the envoy from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Cang Wu Luan, spoke first: “I am Wu Luan. I wonder if my junior apprentice sister Ye Zhixin is here. It’s been a long time, so I came to pay a visit!”
“So it is senior apprentice brother Wu Luan, my apologies for not recognizing you!”
Chu Jingyue quickly stood and cupped his hands.
He had also heard Ye Zhixin talk about things at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven and knew she had a master and a junior brother there.
So when he heard the name, he already knew who Wu Luan was!
“To be honest, when my junior apprentice nephew was in trouble, I, as his senior uncle, was powerless. Afterwards, the master also felt quite guilty!”
“But you all understand the relationship we had with the Demon Race at that time, so please do not blame me, Jingyue brother!”
After some polite exchanges, the relationship warmed slightly.
Then they got to the main point for today!
“Actually, we have come this time to discuss an alliance with Jingyue brother!”
Wu Luan said.
“Alliance?”
“Yes, I’m sure Jingyue brother has already received the intelligence that the Demon Race plans to join forces with Netherworld Hell and six other Forbidden Lands to break into the barrier!”
“This is not a rumor but a fact. As far as we know, Netherworld Hell has already begun dispatching numerous Martial God experts across the border, and the other six Forbidden Lands have also taken action. It won’t be long before Martial Gods descend!”
“The combined power of the three forces is terrifying. No single force can resist it alone!”
“Therefore, Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Burial Sky Ancient Land, and Divine Sword Tomb are willing to form an alliance with the Chu family, advancing and retreating together!”
This was the result of deliberations by the Ancient Ancestors of the three Forbidden Lands; the envoys were merely messengers!
Moreover, even with the Chu family added, the combined forces of the three Forbidden Lands would still be hard to resist.
However, what the Forbidden Lands value is the Chu family’s World-Creation Realm Beast God.
This battle ultimately comes down to high-level power.
No matter how strong the Demon Race is, once the World-Creation Realm emerges, even the Demon Lords must perish!
“But wouldn’t this be of little benefit to your Forbidden Lands?”
Chu Jingyue asked doubtfully.
“To be honest with you, Jingyue brother, our three Forbidden Lands are also in a difficult situation!”
Wu Luan sighed. “It is thanks to the Beast God’s earlier strike that wounded some Demon Lords, which has kept them from acting rashly during this time!”
“Otherwise, they would have attacked our Forbidden Lands long ago!”
“So we hope that after uniting, if the Demon Race attacks our Forbidden Lands again in the future, the Beast God can lend us assistance!”
If it were only the Demon Lords of the Demon Race, the three Forbidden Lands would not fear them.
The combined half-step World-Creation Realm Ancient Ancestors of the three Forbidden Lands number nearly ten, roughly equal to the incoming Demon Lords!
But now, with Netherworld Hell and other Forbidden Lands joining forces with the Demon Race, they are completely outmatched!
“Have the Beast God intervene?”
Chu Jingyue frowned. “I might be able to decide other matters, but when it comes to the Beast God, I cannot make that decision!”
“How about this? You wait here for a while. After I inquire with the Beast God, I will make a decision. How does that sound?”
“Thank you for your effort, Jingyue brother!”
......
Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace,
Chu Jingyue reported the previous events in detail to Long Yuan.
“They want to unite with you to resist the Demon Race and other forces. What do you think?”
Long Yuan asked.
“I dare not hide anything from the Beast God. Even a single Demon Race member has put considerable pressure on us. Add the other two giants, and with our current strength, we simply cannot withstand them!”
“Therefore, I think that alliance might be our only way out!”
Chu Jingyue spoke without any exaggeration.
That was the truth of the current situation!
Long Yuan nodded but thought silently, “You probably don’t realize how strong your not-yet-married daughter-in-law is. She is a terrifying existence with her physical body reaching the pinnacle of the World-Origin Realm. One slap from her could even take down me, the Beast God!”
During this time, Long Yuan had been secretly observing that Elven Clan member, as she was an unexpected factor he had to guard against!
He found that although she was powerful, she obeyed Chu Yan completely.
That gave him some peace of mind, otherwise, if she slapped him, he would be finished!
But with such a strong presence stationed there, no matter how many demons came, the result would be the same.
It was just that Chu Yan didn’t allow her to act recklessly!
“If you think an alliance is feasible, then so be it. As for me intervening... it’s just a matter of raising a hand. It’s not a difficult thing!”
Long Yuan said casually.
