Chapter 298: Cross-Domain Conquest_1
Urgent military situation!
Given the current scale of the Great Wu Dynasty, anything labeled as "urgent" must be a matter of grave concern, enough to shake an entire nation.
"Your Majesty, this morning, our Great Wu's Ninth Fleet's three Sky Warships were suddenly attacked by a Celestial God during a mission. The ships were destroyed, and all soldiers perished along with them, choosing death over captivity. Also this morning, the Yan Yue Sect was suddenly attacked, suffering heavy losses, with a Celestial God fallen and considerable casualties."
Fang Lei knelt before Chu Yuan, his hands clenched tightly, and his eyes glowing red.
In the battle of the Eastern Islands, they had not lost a single Sky Warship, but this time, they had lost three, a loss they could hardly bear.
The ones who died were all the good soldiers of the Great Wu!
"How was the damage to the Yan Yue Sect?" Chu Yuan asked.
"The Yan Yue Sect also suffered greatly. a mass of powerhouses suddenly attacked. Fortunately, the Yan Yue Sect had a secret realm, and most people were practicing inside it. The Sect Master of Yan Yue used the power of the secret realm to seal the entire Sect but even so, two Celestial Gods fell."
Fang Lei ground his teeth angrily.
It seemed like the direct target was the Yan Yue Sect, but in fact, they were trying to slap the face of the Great Wu Dynasty. Everyone knew the relationship between Yan Yue Sect and the Great Wu Dynasty.
With numerous celestial Gods infiltrating the Eastern Xuan domain, the Xuan Star Sect and the Eastern Xuan Imperial Dynasty were aware, but they were just spectators. After all, they were all on the sidelines, the growth of the Great Wu is too fast, someone needs to put a check on them.
"Did you find out who did it?"
Chu Yuan sat on his throne above, the words coming from his mouth, calm, his face devoid of any emotion.
The more he appeared this calm, Ye Ling'er, who had been serving Chu Yuan for several months, knew that this was Chu Yuan's fury, a sign he was preparing to go on a killing spree.
The Emperor's heart is as deep as a well, his emotions don't show on his face, but in his actions.
"We found out. It was the Purple Pole Sect of the Northern Xuan domain." Fang Lei said.
"Even though the Purple Pole Sect is a big sect in the Western Xuan domain, stronger than the Yan Yue Sect, it is not strong enough to cause such a massive loss to Yan Yue Sect unless there is someone else aiding them."
Chu Yuan's fingers lightly tapped on the throne.
The Purple Pole Sect didn't dare to attack him directly, so they focused their revenge on the Yan Yue Sect, trying to annihilate the sect and reclaim all of the Imperial Divine Stones.
"Your Majesty is wise. After our careful investigation, we indeed found another major force, the people of Xuwang City in the Central Xuan domain. They were the ones who attempted to seize our Sky Warships, but they didn't expect that the people of the Great Wu, with our iron will and defiant spirit, would rather perish than let them succeed!"
Remembering this, Fang Lei's eyes seem to burst open, with traces of blood flowing out.
"Central Xuan Territory Xuwang City!" Ye Ling'er's eyebrows tightened: "So it reaches all the way to the power of the Central Xuan Territory."
The Central Xuan Territory hosts the existence of numerous True Gods, and not just one, it's the most powerful among the five domains.
If it was just about the domain of West Xuan, the matter would be simpler, but when it involved the Central Xuan Territory, it became a problem.
The other four territories were merely foil, green leaves meant to complement the red flowers of the Central Xuan Territory.
"Someone has targeted us. It seems like a matter of the Western Xuan Territory, but in fact, it's our Great Wu."
While a commoner is not guilty for his possessions, he is culpable if he possesses something rare and valuable.
The Xuwang City in the Central Xuan Territory is not necessarily here for the Imperial Divine Stones. Their real target is the Sky Warships. After all, who wouldn't want to possess such terrifying equipment?
"Draft a decree, tenfold compensation for the fallen soldiers. I will settle this account on their behalf. Let's take the sacrifice of their spirit with the blood of the Purple Pole Sect and the people of Xuwang City."
With an emotionless face, Chu Yuan's voice was cold: "Those who offend my Great Wu, no matter how far, must be killed. I want everyone to know the consequences of provoking my wrath."
He won't hold back, and he certainly won't swallow his anger, even if there is power backing the Central Xuan Territory. If you offend Chu Yuan, it's still a dead end.
"First destroy the Purple Pole, then destroy King Xu!"
Chu Yuan rallied his troops.
Over two hundred Sky Warships soared into the sky. He did not hide his tracks, nor did he fly in the wind layer. Instead, he let out a massive aura, flying straight to the Western Xuan Territory.
A cross-region conquest!
This time, he's going for the kill!
Those who dare to harm him, death is their only fate!
...
The Western Xuan Region.
In a land filled with spiritual energy, where mountains rise and fall with a purple glow emitting spectacular scenes, it is a blessed land.
Amongst the stretched out buildings, some are even suspended in the air. This is the location of the Purple Pole Sect.
The Purple Pole Sect has an eight-fold Void God holding the fort, and is a great sect within the Western Xuan region.
However, not long ago, Granny Frosted Leaf was slain which has led to a heavy blow to their strength and has also turned them into a joke.
"Sect Master, I didn't expect the Hidden Moon Sect to be so hard to swallow down. I initially thought that with the help of the people of Xuwang City, we could obliterate this sect. But who would have thought, the master of Hidden Moon Sect actually mobilized the power of the secret realm, revealing a trace of Celestial God strength."
In a large hall filled with purple light, an old man glanced at the man in purple at the main seat, his face not looking good.
This surprise attack on the Hidden Moon Sect was supposed to snatch the Imperial Divine Stone, but who would have thought the plan would fail, as Hidden Moon Sect stored all Divine Stones in the Secret Realm.
But at least, we killed two Void Gods of the Hidden Moon Sect, and vented a long held grudge.
"King Xu's actions were also not smooth-sailing, ships destroyed, lives lost, and they also gained nothing."
The Purple Pole Sect Master slowly said.
"Sect Master, I heard that the Martial Emperor is vengeful, and it seems that the Hidden Moon Sect Master has some unclear relationship with him. This time we destroyed his warship and launched a surprise attack on the Hidden Moon Sect, I'm afraid we've angered the Martial Emperor. He's likely to retaliate."
An old elder with a somber expression, who had always been against this attack, spoke.
"What is there to fear?"
The Purple Pole Sect Master sneered: "The main plotter is Xuwang City, dare he take revenge on Xuwang City? Moreover, the Purple Pole Divine Light Array is in our sect, even if someone with a higher realm than me comes, if they are not a True God, they will be suppressed by me. Should I fear that Martial Emperor?" Enjoy new tales from empire
"But I always have a vague worry in my heart. It feels like something bad is coming," the elder said.
"Elder Liu, you're overthinking, although we didn't gain much this time, Xuwang City still has ongoing plans. Now that the forces in the Middle Xuan region have fixed their eyes on them, and Great Wu is on the verge of annihilation, could they still care about us?"
The Purple Pole Sect Master said, "What we need to do is follow closely the footsteps of the Middle Xuan Region. When the Great Wu is annihilated, we will have a share of the spoils."
"Ha ha, Sect Master has a point."
Someone flattered.
"Tell the elders and disciples in the sect to always be ready. The Great Wu will soon face formidable enemies. We also have to keep a close watch. Who knows when we might have to launch an attack on the Eastern Xuan Region."
The Purple Pole Sect Master arrogantly said: "Within Eastern Xuan, Eastern Xuan Imperial Dynasty, and Xuan Star Sect will also not miss the chance to kick a man when he is down. Look around, the Great Wu is surrounded by enemies as if it were a fat lamb. Everyone wants to bite off a chunk of meat from it."
But just as the Purple Pole Sect Master was plotting to scheme against the Great Wu, an extremely oppressive aura swept over.
The sky was initially bright, but it suddenly turned extremely dim. The terrifying intent to kill was like the sharpest knife blowing into Purple Pole Sect, intending to kill everyone inside.
"What's going on?"
The Purple Pole Sect Master walked out of the great hall, looking up.
His pupils were suddenly filled with countless figures. Above his Purple Pole Sect were countless soldiers, each of them with an extremely ferocious killing intent on their faces.
And the two hundred Sky Warships, which pointed their giant cannons directly at the Purple Pole Sect.
"Great Wu, Martial Emperor!"
He let out a cry of surprise.
