Chapter 403: 403 He’s here!
Outside the Liberal Arts Academy, in the sky above, five human shadows intermittently appeared, occupying the four directions. Even though their figures were not clear, the overwhelming aura they emitted put pressure on the Academy beneath them.
“Red Moon Great Saint, will that kid really show up?”
After waiting for a whole day, someone could not help but voice their doubts.
The one who spoke was a newly ascended Celestial Being from the Barbarian tribes of the plains, named Chang Tian. Although he was dressed in the style of the barbarians, he had delicate features, unlike the burly and rugged appearance typical of his people.
This man was a genius who emerged once every thousand years among the Barbarians. In fact, he had already ascended to a Celestial Being three years ago.
However, in recent years, he had been consolidating his cultivation level, and had only emerged from seclusion two months ago.
Originally, he and another Celestial Being were not planning to confront Great Zhou so soon. They wanted to wait until the circumstances were more favourable.
However, his existence was not concealed from the spies of Great Zhou and was quickly exposed.
Great Zhou, from top to bottom, held the Barbarians as their great enemy. They began to gather heavy troops at the border, making frequent movements.
Even though Great Zhou was no longer as strong as before, when they employed the full force of the nation to prepare for a major battle, their troops and war preparation were not things the Barbarians of the plains could compete with.
In such a situation, it was not up to them to decide whether to go to war.
If Great Zhou took the initiative to launch an attack, they would have to retreat deep into the plains unless they were willing to fight back.
However, with the addition of another Celestial Being to the plains, how could they retreat without fighting?
Taking part in this battle had become inevitable.
In the midst of this, they received an invitation to the Yaochi Conference and had no choice but to attend…
Chang Tian was only over two hundred years old and did not have much desire for the magical peach.
But it was different for the Great Shaman. He was almost two thousand years old and in a century or two, his time would be up. The magical peach was an absolute must-have for him.
The Great Shaman had been a benefactor to him, offering immeasurable kindness — his achievements today were not possible without the Great Shaman’s support. Therefore, when the Great Shaman wanted to snatch the magical peach, he had to lend unreserved support.
After Gu Yang left the Immortal Palace of Yao Chi, he fled, but indeed a monk could run away from his temple. They had all come to the Divine City jointly, waiting to apprehend him.
On their side, they had five Celestial Beings, while Great Zhou had four.
Qin Wu had a deep enmity with the Zhao family of Great Zhou and would never ally with them, so he could be excluded.
The dean of the Liberal Arts Academy, who fought a battle with Lord Chi Ming years ago, was severely injured. Even if including Luo Wang and Gu Yang, they only had three.
Five against three, their victory was assured.
Moreover, Luo Wang, that old fox, firmly kept his place during the extermination of the Wu Family years ago when so many masters in the royal family died. He might stay out of matters this time as well.
However, it had already been a day and Gu Yang hadn’t shown up, which made Chang Tian anxious.
He had already received news that during his and the Great Shaman’s attendance at the Yaochi Conference, Great Zhou’s troops had launched an attack. The battle had been raging for several days now.
With each additional day they lingered here, countless warriors from their tribe would be killed in battle.
…
“If you don’t want to wait, you can roll.”
The man, dressed in a python robe and wearing a crown, spoke coldly.
This man was the “Han Wang” that Gu Yang had encountered when in Taoyuan Heaven, also one of the puppets controlled by the Red Moon Great Saint.
A junior actually dared to question her in such a tone.
If it wasn’t for that magical peach, she would have already made him pay for this sentence alone.
Chang Tian was furious, “You—”
Suddenly, the Great Shaman next to him pulled him back and said, “Chang Tian, you must not be rude. Dear Great Saint, the junior is ignorant and rude, and offended you. Please forgive him. I, on his behalf, apologize to you.”
“Hmph!”
“Han Wang” snorted coldly, “Control your people.”
The Great Shaman went along with it, repeating, “Yes, yes.”
Chang Tian was still furious, and said telepathically, “Shaman, he’s just a Celestial Being of the Monster Race. What is there to be afraid of? If we join hands—”
The Great Shaman cut him off, “What’s most important now is to obtain the magical peach, we can’t afford to create any trouble.”
But he regretfully thought to himself that he had protected Chang Tian too well these years, allowing him to become proud and arrogant, looking down on everyone. This character was good during the advancement of cultivation.
However, once reaching the level of a Celestial Being, the opponent becomes a similarly powerful Celestial Being. If one continues to look down upon others, a great loss can be expected.
He was one of the witnesses to the battle the year Xia Emperor fell.
In that battle, Xia Emperor’s nine avatars, plus his nine sons who all held Celestial Being power, were all killed by Lord Chi Ming and the three Great Saints of the Monster Race.
