Chapter 660 Yu Chi Gong Descends Upon the Sword Bone Lineage

"If that's the case, General Yang, I shall take my leave!"

Chū Lǐjí, mounted on his warhorse, cupped his hands respectfully towards Yang Ye, then cast a glance at Fù Hǎo behind him and nodded slightly.

"Mm!"

Fù Hǎo, who followed Chū Lǐjí, unfurled the Vermilion Bird Legion's banner in his hand and shouted, "Vermilion Bird Legion, move out!"

"Hoo!!"

Since the establishment of the Vermilion Bird Legion, due to a lack of generals and an incomplete organizational structure, it had been consistently ordered to guard the imperial capital, Chang'an City. Now, venturing into the border province of Daozhou, it would reveal the might of the Vermilion Bird Legion to the world!

Proclaiming to the world that within the Great Han Imperial Dynasty, there were not only the Vermilion Bird Legion, the White Tiger Legion... etc., but also the formidable Vermilion Bird Legion!

"I wish all generals a triumphant return and success in expanding the territory for His Majesty!"

Yang Ye cupped his hands, a smile on his face, watching the Vermilion Bird Legion gradually advance into the Blood Origin Celestial Dynasty. He then turned his gaze towards the Jian Gu sect's territory in the southeast.

"General Ying Bu, shall our two armies part ways here, or shall we advance further together?"

Behind Yang Ye, not only did the White Tiger Legion's banner flutter majestically, but the Liè Tiān Sì Legion's banner was also faintly visible.

The White Tiger Legion's mission was to secure all territories of the Jian Gu sect, while the Liè Tiān Sì Legion's objective was the Ancient Lion Kingdom.

Ying Bu, a valiant general who had followed Hegemon Xiang Yu and Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, had emerged early. Although his current cultivation realm placed him slightly behind among all the heroic figures, with the appearance of the Summoning Platform, Yang Ye believed it wouldn't be long before the King of Jiujiang, Ying Bu, who had become renowned during the Chu-Han contention, would make his comeback!

"Let's advance a bit further. Once we reach the heartland of the Jian Gu sect, our two armies will split up!"

Ying Bu gazed ahead and said softly.

"Very well, let's proceed in that direction!"

Yang Ye nodded. Ying Bu's current cultivation was at the sixth level of the Divine Fire realm. His Majesty had ordered the Liè Tiān Sì Legion to attack and suppress the Ancient Lion Kingdom, indicating that His Majesty intended to elevate Ying Bu's status. Perhaps this plan involving the three major powers would be the opportune moment for the King of Jiujiang, Ying Bu, to rise.

...

The ancestral land of the Jian Gu sect.

"Boom!"

A violent roar suddenly echoed through the void of the ten-thousand-mile ancestral land. A figure of a thousand feet, wielding a bamboo-jointed steel whip, exuded a divine might like a celestial being, directly engulfing the entire ancestral land of the Jian Gu sect!

Divine light blazed, and the entire ancestral land of the Jian Gu sect seemed to have erected bridges of five-colored divine light. Streams of immense power flowed through the void!

"Who is it?"

Within the ancestral land of the Jian Gu sect, several beings at the Void God realm looked up in shock. Rays of divine light clashed in the void, ceaselessly searching for the true form of the thousand-foot figure.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous!!"

"Clang!"

Instantly, from the core of the Jian Gu sect, a thousand-foot sword qi shot straight into the heavens, attempting to tear apart the divine light of the thousand-foot figure. A river of sword qi surged, clearly a manifestation from a True God!

The sword qi was fierce and sharp, directly pushing the divine bridge constructed in the heavens ten thousand feet higher. Simultaneously, dozens of sword qi followed the True God's sword qi across the sky. Below, dense streams of sword qi flowed above the Jian Gu sect's ancestral land, appearing to form a grand formation that securely sealed the ancestral land!

"Hmph!"

A divine utterance directly shattered the True God's river of sword qi. As for the several strands of Void God realm sword qi, they scattered like air.

"This... this is the power of a Celestial God! This is the power of a Celestial God!"

"Celestial God, how is that possible! Could it be a Celestial God from the Gate of Creation that has descended?"

...

"No, no, no. The core of our Jian Gu sect is guarded by a Celestial God from the Ling Xu Palace. How could the Gate of Creation not know this? They are trapped between the pincer attack of the Ling Xu Palace and the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty. At such a time, how would they dare?"

The beings of the Jian Gu sect, one by one, looked at the thousand-foot figure with unfathomable divine might above them in terror.

Three figures appeared in the sky above the Jian Gu sect, each holding a three-foot-long sharp sword. The moment these three figures appeared, countless beings of the Jian Gu sect immediately knelt on the ground.

"Patriarch, I don't think the divine power emanating from this figure resembles the cultivation methods of the Gate of Creation?"

Nie Qiuying took a deep breath, her brow furrowed as she looked at the motionless thousand-foot figure and asked.

The three figures currently appearing above the Jian Gu sect were the three True Gods of the Jian Gu sect!

Among them was Nie Qiuying of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin. The figure in the middle was the Patriarch of the Jian Gu sect, and the other was the Grand Elder of the Jian Gu sect.

"Grand Elder, you have had many encounters with the Gate of Creation and are familiar with the aura of their disciples. What do you think of this matter?"

The Patriarch cautiously looked at the thousand-foot figure, picking up Nie Qiuying's words and turning to the Grand Elder.

"Indeed, it is not the aura of the Gate of Creation. This creature's qi, I have traversed the border province of Daozhou for hundreds of years and have never encountered anything like it. It is very unique!"

The Grand Elder's expression was grave. He tightly gripped his sharp sword and stared intently at the figure.

"This aura is between True God and Celestial God. The True God's divine power is stronger, while the Celestial God's aura is weaker. I truly cannot ascertain it!"

Nie Qiuying spoke again.

"It should be at the peak of True God, but the spiritual energy is not pure enough. Should we request the intervention of the Celestial God from the Ling Xu Palace?"

The Grand Elder turned to the Patriarch.

"Requesting his intervention? Do you think you can get him to act? Celestial Gods! They are high and mighty, how can they be summoned at our whim!"

"If he were willing to act, he would have done so the moment this thousand-foot figure descended. To this day, have you sensed his aura?" Su Dan Novel Network

"Hmph!"

"We've truly fallen for the trap of the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom. Relying on the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty and the Ling Xu Palace. In my opinion, while the cultivation method for peak True Gods is real, these alone cannot gain the true protection of the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty. And if we add the territories of our Jian Gu sect, the Blood Origin Celestial Dynasty, and the Ancient Lion Kingdom, it would be enough for the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty to intervene!"

The Patriarch of the Jian Gu sect's expression was grim.

"But... but our Jian Gu sect also contributed to the cultivation method for peak True Gods!"

Nie Qiuying retorted.

"Qiuying! The moment this cultivation method for peak True Gods appeared, its fate was sealed. No matter what path the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom chooses, it will not prevent the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty from bestowing its protection!

"But our Jian Gu sect is different. Our Jian Gu sect is so close to the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom, yet the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty has abandoned its troops to guard it. Do you understand?"

The Patriarch looked down at Nie Qiuying.

"Patriarch... Patriarch, do you mean that even if the Gate of Creation disintegrates, the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty will not take in our Jian Gu sect?"

Nie Qiuying could not believe it.

"Hmph! In this world, what is most precious is loyalty. From what I understand, the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom has had close ties with the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty since its establishment. But when has our Jian Gu sect ever entered the territory of the An Yuan Celestial Dynasty? Now that we have betrayed our former master, who would dare to use us!"

The Grand Elder was furious.
