1365 The War Begins, One Against Ten Thousand (1)
While the ancestral land was peaceful, the atmosphere in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was abnormally oppressive.

Mu Zhixing was dead. But instead of his anger being vented, he felt even more aggrieved.

Self-destructing was letting him off too easily.

Moreover, with Mu Zhixing’s death, they didn’t recover their losses at all.

“Commander Zhan, are you sure Mu Zhixing is dead?” Wu Suchen said weakly.

“Brother Wu, are you suspecting me?” Zhan Jingtao’s expression was ugly. “I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?”

“No,” Wu Suchen explained. “It’s just that I feel that things are a little strange. According to our previous contact with Mu Zhixing, he shouldn’t be the kind of person who would die so easily.”

Wu Suchen frowned in thought.

“Although I also think it’s a little strange, I saw him self-destruct with my own eyes. It can’t be fake,” Zhan Jingtao said.

Wu Suchen said, “Is it possible that someone disguised themselves as him and deliberately misled us?”

“Impossible.” Zhan Jingtao shook his head. “Brother Wu, I’m not blind. I’ve fought Mu Zhixing before. I can’t possibly not know if I’m seeing a human or a ghost.”

Although Wu Suchen was still a little puzzled, he nodded.

Zhan Jingtao was not an ordinary person. If he didn’t even have this bit of vision, how could he become the commander of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s Golden Dragon Guards?

Wu Suchen pondered and said, “The Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom doesn’t want to fall out with our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, so it’s possible they pushed Mu Zhixing out to die.

“This way, we won’t have any reason to find trouble with Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom anymore.”

Zhan Jingtao said unhappily, “Lin Kelei is a lunatic. If we continue to harp on this matter, that bastard might really start a war.

“Although our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom isn’t afraid, now that the Black Emperor has asked us to occupy the ancestral land, if we start a war on both sides, the pressure on us will be big. If we delay, it won’t be easy to explain.

“We can only let Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom off for the time being.”

Wu Suchen was full of grievances. “Commander Zhan, the Ten Imperial Cauldrons in the ancestral land are a little difficult to deal with. But after thinking hard for the past few days, I’ve finally thought of a way to break through it.

“Leave the Ten Imperial Cauldrons to us refiners. The rest will be up to the Golden Dragon Guards.”

“I know what I’m doing,” Zhan Jingtao said. “What about the refining materials?”

Zhan Jingtao and Wu Suchen had gone to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom one after another. It was one thing to settle scores with Mu Zhixing, but it was another thing to get the refining materials back.

But now that Mu Zhixing was dead, it was definitely impossible for Lin Kelei to return the refining materials to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

Without this batch of refining materials, it would have a huge impact on the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

First, the dharma treasure that the Black Emperor had instructed Wu Suchen to refine couldn’t be completed on time. Second, the supply of dharma treasures for the army would be interrupted.

“Use war to nurture war.” A cold glint flashed across Wu Suchen’s eyes. “Commander Zhan, you should know this better than me, right?

“I suspect that the remnants of the Heavenly Court in the ancestral land obtained the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court. The Ten Imperial Cauldrons are most likely an ancient Heavenly Court dharma treasure they obtained.

“As long as we pacify the ancestral land and snatch what they have, we will get everything back, and we can even make a profit.”

Wu Suchen’s tone was full of killing intent as he gritted his teeth. “Therefore, Commander Zhan, we must completely destroy those remnants of the Heavenly Court this time. We can’t give them any more chances!”

Zhan Jingtao narrowed his eyes and snorted. “Don’t worry. This time, all the Golden Dragon Guards will attack. Not to mention the ancestral land, even in the other four heavenly kingdoms, no army can stop my Golden Dragon Guards!”

Zhan Jingtao was full of confidence. His Golden Dragon Guards were the most powerful army in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms, including the ancestral land.

When the Golden Dragon Guards became serious, no army in the world could be their match.

“Alright!” Wu Suchen gritted his teeth. “Just let us cooperate once and destroy the remnants of the Heavenly Court in one go!”
…

Boom!

A roar came from the sky of the ancestral land.

A translucent light barrier appeared, revealing cracks.

“Wu Suchen has improved.” Zhou Shu stood in front of the Eight Views Palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.

“Your Highness, oh no, the Ten Imperial Cauldrons can’t hold on anymore!” Shi Songtao said worriedly.

“Yes, they can’t hold on anymore,” Zhou Shu said. “No matter how tough a tortoise shell is, it’s impossible to hide for the rest of our lives. The Ten Imperial Cauldrons have already completed their mission by buying us so much time.

“Next, it’s time for the real war.”

Zhou Shu’s expression was calm. He knew that it was impossible to hide for the rest of his life.

But with the time bought by the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, they had settled the problem of demonic beasts and even welcomed reinforcements. This was already very good.

It was impossible to count on the Ten Imperial Cauldrons to settle this once and for all.
