Chapter 738: The Showdown at Dao Le Realm

"General, what do we do next?" Xiao Yuanfeng looked towards Xiao Wangdao.

"Prepare ourselves. When news from the Black Sea arrives, it will be time for a strong offensive!" Xiao Wangdao tapped the table decisively.

As they spoke, Xiao Wangdao furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

Seeing his father's expression, Xiao Yuanfeng sighed softly.

"We are all ready, just waiting for Tianlao's Fengshui Grand Array to be set up!" Xiao Yuanfeng thought for a moment.

"Tianlao? Since the Head of the Tian Family sent Tianlao, it shows his great determination. Tianlao? Haha!" Xiao Wangdao showed a faint smile of disdain.

"Urgent report~~~~~!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the main hall.

Xiao Wangdao and Xiao Yuanfeng glanced at each other, surprise flickering in their eyes.

Soon, a young soldier entered the hall.

"Reporting to the General, the troops of the Da Geng Dynasty are challenging us outside the city!" the soldier reported.

"Challenging us? At this time?" Xiao Yuanfeng looked puzzled.

"Yes, the war drums are sounding, waiting only for the General's command!" the soldier said.

"Something's wrong. The troops of the Da Geng Dynasty should have been dormant temporarily along with the Black Sea duel. Why are they attacking now?" Xiao Wangdao frowned slightly.

"Who is it? Zhao Suoxiang? Shui Jing? Or which marshal of the Da Geng?" Xiao Yuanfeng asked.

"None of them!" replied the soldier.

"Oh?" Xiao Wangdao looked at the soldier strangely.

Just because Zhongshan had once impressed Xiao Wangdao didn't mean Xiao Wangdao's strength had been reset to zero. Xiao Wangdao was still Xiao Wangdao. Without a proper commander, who would dare to attack the city?

"The commanding flag of the incoming army bears a 'sword'. According to the scout's report, the leader of this army is a woman named 'Jian Hong'. I've never heard of her before!" the soldier quickly said.

"What?" Xiao Wangdao suddenly stood up.

Beside him, Xiao Yuanfeng also opened his mouth wide, showing an incredible expression.

The soldier had never seen the General so flustered before. Could this 'Jian Hong' be even more formidable than Zhao Suoxiang and the others? What exactly was her background?

"Report to the General, the leader of the enemy army is called 'Jian Hong'." the soldier said.

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Wangdao and Xiao Yuanfeng were visibly stunned.

"Leave us!" Xiao Yuanfeng said.

"Yes!" The soldier retreated with confusion.

"Father, General!" Xiao Yuanfeng's voice trembled slightly.

"Zhongshan is indeed impressive. He is more cunning than I am!" Xiao Wangdao sighed heavily.

General Jian Hong had challenged them in the morning, and Xiao Wangdao had not responded. In the afternoon, she had set up camp and established a negotiation hall in the center of the military fortress and the city. Xiao Wangdao led Xiao Yuanfeng personally to attend.

Before the negotiation hall, Xiao Wangdao hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

Inside, there were only four people.

Gu Qianyou sat at the main seat, with Tianlao from the mortal realm beside him, the Tianlao who had surrendered to Da Geng. Sitting in the guest seats were two women. One was the valiant Jian Hong, while the other was much more graceful, the very one Gu Qianyou had rescued from the Tian Family in the underworld, Ruyan.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Wang's face changed drastically.

"Husband~~~~~~!"

Ruyan called out affectionately. Jian Hong bit her lip, not as dependent as Ruyan, but her eyes were also filled with tears at this moment.

Xiao Yuanfeng looked from side to side, finally bowing respectfully, "Yuanfeng greets the two stepmothers!"

Xiao Wang's heart was touched. He looked at the two women, then at Gu Qianyou in the main seat, and revealed a complex smile. "I am not as good as Zhongshan!"

In a secluded valley, a group of people stood.

At the forefront was Zhongshan. Another Zhongshan? Zhongshan divided himself into his true form and a shadow body. One Zhongshan was at the Black Sea, and here was another, indicating that the true form of Zhongshan from the mortal realm had also descended. It was unclear if this was the true form or the shadow body.

Behind Zhongshan were a group of strong figures from Da Geng.

Among them were Nangong Sheng, Yin Luori, Wang Ku, Ni Pusa, Zhong Tian, Hao Meili, Mr. Shi, and two colossal monsters. Zhongshan had seen these monsters before; they were Tian Gui created by Mr. Shi using the bodies of immortals and countless ghostly creatures.

There were ten figures in total. Although not all were at the peak of the celestial realm, each posed a threat no less than a typical celestial realm expert.

"Ni Pusa!" Zhongshan called.

"Here!"

"You must first find the 'Yin-Yang Road' connecting Dao Le Realm to the mortal realm and destroy it as quickly as possible, preventing reinforcements from the Longevity Realm!" Zhongshan ordered solemnly.

"Yes!"

"Nangong Sheng!"

"Here!"

"Set up the Great Luo Zhoutian Star Array to confine the boundless merits of Dao Le Realm!"

"Yes!"

"Zhong Tian, use the Spirit Tower to forcibly absorb the infinite merits of Dao Le Realm!"

"Yes!"

"Hao Meili, the curse demon master is your responsibility. I will also assign a Tian Gui to assist you."

"Don't worry, I shouldn't be afraid of the curse demon master now. Although the Tian Gui has little resistance to curses, I can handle it!"

"No carelessness!" Zhongshan glared.

"Alright!" Hao Meili reluctantly agreed.

Zhongshan demanded perfection, with no room for errors.

"Yin Luori, have you organized the tiger clan's strong warriors?"

"Yes, the imperial realm experts of the tiger clan, the imperial realm experts of the wolf clan, and the imperial realm experts of the Xuanwu and Phoenix clans are all positioned in a surrounding formation at a distance, awaiting the wolf clan's young master, Xianxian's command. No one below the celestial realm will escape!" Yin Luori confirmed confidently.

"Good. This time, I aim to eliminate Dao Le Realm in one fell swoop. However, your safety is paramount. In the massacre, if any side is in danger, support will come from all directions. Any failure to rescue will be severely punished!" Zhongshan's tone turned stern.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded, though Hao Meili did not explicitly agree but neither did she object.

"Father, why wager on the Black Sea duel? If Emperor Xuan Sha and your other self were here, it would be much easier!" Zhong Tian asked with a hint of confusion.

"I and Emperor Xuan Sha are at the Black Sea primarily to draw the world's attention. If it weren't for the focal point of the Black Sea, our siege of the Dao Le Realm would certainly attract more and more powerful beings, including those from the Tian Family. Would those strong forces allow us to destroy the Dao Le Realm without taking the opportunity to rise?" Zhongshan shook his head.

"Yes!"

"Moreover, Ye Qingcheng has been lured away. As the realm master, he can infinitely manipulate the merits of the Dao Le Realm. Without him, the strength of the Dao Le Realm is greatly diminished, not to mention the Immortal Slaying Sword. Ye Qingcheng's personal strength is formidable in the underworld, so he must be away from the Dao Le Realm!" Zhongshan continued seriously.

"Understood!"

"Alright, the time has come. Let's begin!" Zhongshan ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded immediately.

In the land of the Black Sea, the world's attention was focused.

Countless powerful beings gathered for the ultimate showdown. One might doubt Zhongshan's strength, but Ye Qingcheng's power was unquestionable. As the powerful realm master of the Dao Le Realm, wielding the unparalleled Immortal Slaying Sword, anyone Zhongshan faced would not be a pushover.

The presence of Emperor Xuan Sha beside the dragon throne aroused great curiosity among many. Who was this stranger, and where did he come from?

Ye Qingcheng and others stood on the surface of the Black Sea, waiting. The turbulent waters behind the three celestial beings suddenly calmed, transforming into a mirror-like surface, utterly tranquil.

All the onlookers held their breath, watching intently, afraid of missing anything.

Zhongshan's white cloud descended slowly, landing on the Black Sea at a distance from Ye Qingcheng.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

As the dragon throne landed, the remaining waters of the Black Sea stilled abruptly. The vast Black Sea now appeared like a gigantic black gemstone, smooth and polished.

At a distance, Zhongshan and Ye Qingcheng faced each other coldly.

Zhongshan showed a faint smile, while Ye Qingcheng's expression turned icy.

Tian Xiaozi frowned slightly, looking at Zhongshan and the white-robed man beside him.

Emperor Xuan Sha was someone Tian Xiaozi had heard of, but in the mortal realm, few had seen his true face. Therefore, Xiao Wang had not identified the white-robed man as Emperor Xuan Sha. This misidentification was reinforced by habitual thinking.

Others naturally thought the same.

"Ye Qingcheng, you kept your promise!" Zhongshan said with a faint smile.

"Yiyiyiyi!" The little furball waved its fist at Ye Qingcheng again.

Ye Qingcheng frowned. "Why are there only the two of you? Where are Nangong Sheng and Hao Meili?"

"You and I are dueling. My people are arranged as I see fit. Do I need to report my arrangements to you?" Zhongshan retorted with a cold smile.

A sense of unease grew in Ye Qingcheng. Things were not unfolding as he had envisioned. Although Zhongshan was indeed before him, something felt off. How could such a significant battle occur without Nangong Sheng and Hao Meili being present?

Despite the bad feeling, Ye Qingcheng maintained a serious gaze at Zhongshan, knowing Zhongshan wouldn't gamble with his own life.

"Since both sides are here, let the duel begin!" Tian Xiaozi, acting as the arbiter, said with a smile.

Zhongshan glanced at Tian Xiaozi, understanding that such enthusiasm was driven by ulterior motives. However, Zhongshan was unafraid. Strength was the root of courage.

"The ancestral divine beast is here. Ye Qingcheng, where is your item?" Zhongshan asked.
