1064 The Wind Is Up
“Above the Dao Sacrificial realm! Fuze…” There was no expression on the Head Deacon’s face, but his tone was terrifyingly gloomy, every word filled with killing intent.

“Head Deacon! We shouldn’t need to worry too much about the Heavenly Pass of Life. With the ancient immortal’s killing array, no matter how huge the other party’s team is, they won’t be able to take a step past it. Moreover, there’s that old fellow White Ape holding down the fort over there. What can a mere Ye Qiu do?

“Therefore, we should focus more on the north and south passages in case they launch a surprise attack from both sides.” Below, a Patriarch of a large clan analyzed.

In the current situation, they had completely grasped the lifeline of Imperial Pass. No matter how they fought this battle, it was impossible for them to lose.

Therefore, they were full of confidence now. How could the Head Deacon not understand this principle? He nodded and continued to pay attention to the movements in front of him.

At this moment, on the ancient path, the killing array had already been activated the moment Fuze appeared. A natural chasm descended from the sky, blocking this only passage and everyone outside the pass. That place was connected to the ancient battlefield. In other words, once this pass fell, the people outside would be homeless.

They had all become abandoned pawns. Once the foreign races attacked, they would be wandering ghosts in the wilderness, toys slaughtered by the foreign races without any support.

“The Heavenly Gate has descended! We have been abandoned.”

“No, we haven’t gone back yet. Why did they lower the Heavenly Gate? Open the passage!”

For a moment, the entire wasteland was in chaos. All the living beings in the Nine Heavens who were originally watching or wandering around the ancient battlefield panicked.

Once the Heavenly Gate fell, they would be completely homeless. They could only be trapped in this ancient battlefield for the rest of their lives. One day, they would be slaughtered by the foreign races.

Moreover, their souls had nowhere to go and they would become a wandering soul on this ancient battlefield. The people were in chaos, and the entire wasteland fell into chaos. Countless people surged towards the Heavenly Gate, trying to get Patriarch White Ape to open it and let them in.

However, Patriarch White Ape sneered at them and said, “Hmph, open it? You’re just a bunch of chess pieces that can be casually thrown away. How can you ruin my plan for your lives?”

“Old thing! I’ve fought on the battlefield for many years and made contributions for Imperial Pass. Who are you to dare to reject us and not let us go home?”

“Hurry up and open the pass! Otherwise, the day I step through the city pass will be the day your White Ape Clan’s blood splatters.”

Patriarch White Ape’s words instantly angered countless people. The majestic team stood under the city pass and began to curse.

However, Patriarch White Ape disdained to care at all. In his eyes, these so-called geniuses were all pawns that could be abandoned at any time.

Perhaps Ye Qiu’s people were hidden in these teams, so he couldn’t take the risk to let these people in no matter what. He would rather kill wrongly than let it go! This had always been his principle. This was also the reason why he was in charge of guarding the Heavenly Gate. His contempt for life had already reached its peak.

“Open it! If you don’t open it, I’m going to break through.” Below, angry roars sounded. The disciples of the various large clans, holy lands, factions, and ancient battlefields let out angry roars.

Patriarch White Ape sneered as he looked at their furious expressions. He gently raised his hand. He said coldly, “Kill!”

In the next second, the Heavenly Gate Killing Formation suddenly changed. A scarlet blood screen instantly enveloped the world. Thousands of sword energy instantly shot out from the entire ancient path.

“Not good, the killing array has been activated. Everyone, retreat quickly.”

The crowd instantly panicked, and countless people began to flee in panic. The moment the killing array was activated, the shocking sword energy killed thousands of people in an instant. They did not even have a chance to resist.

“Is this the Heavenly Gate Killing Formation? As expected of a shocking killing formation set up by an ancient immortal. Its power is actually so terrifying.”

“From the looks of it, it’s almost impossible to break through from here.”

In the sky, Fuze silently watched all of this. He did not attack and only watched. His appearance only had one use, and that was to intimidate. He wanted to tell the people in Imperial Pass that he was here.

And he had indeed done it. The other party had given him enough importance and even activated such a killing array.

Behind Fuze, there was a team of thirty thousand people watching every move of the Heavenly Gate covetously. They did not act rashly. Instead, they slowly advanced according to the original plan until they arrived at the wilderness outside the Heavenly Pass.

Looking down from the Heavenly Pass, they could see a dense team stationed there. There were a huge number of them. Because they were far away and were covered by yellow sand, they could not see who was leading the team.

“Patriarch, they’re here.”

Patriarch White Ape waved his hand and sneered. “Hmph, I’m waiting for them. The inescapable net I carefully weaved is already waiting for their arrival. Ye Qiu, didn’t you claim to be peerless in history and invincible in the world? Today, I want to see how you pass my Heavenly Gate.”

On the Heavenly Pass, the army was instantly on guard. Everyone’s faces were filled with seriousness, preparing to enter the battle at any time.

However, what was strange was that after arriving in the wilderness, they actually stopped moving. Instead, they chose to camp there, as if they were discussing how to attack the Heavenly Gate.

The situation was in a deadlock.

As for the group of people who were blocked outside the Heavenly Pass, a portion of them chose to find another way out, a portion maintained the wait and see, and the remaining portion headed straight for the group and chose to join.

Clearly, in the current situation, they only had one path, and that was to break through.
Everyone who originally had a trace of luck with the eight great clans’ rule was completely disappointed at this moment. They had become abandoned pawns, blocked outside the Heavenly Gate by their own people. They felt indescribably depressed and disappointed.

What was the need for such a ruler to exist?

Everyone was filled with killing intent and chose to join the uprising army. The team of 30,000 people also became larger. On the Heavenly Pass, Patriarch White Ape felt uneasy when he saw this scene. He kept feeling that he had forgotten something. “Strange, what do they want? Why aren’t they here to break through?”

This stalemate lasted for a full day and night, but the other party still did not move. They seemed to be playing a psychological battle to see who could lose their cool first.

What puzzled Patriarch White Ape was that they should be the first to lose their cool. This was because they were in the vortex and outside the Heavenly Gate. Outside, the souls of the ancient battlefield and the living beings of the foreign races were wandering everywhere. They could be attacked at any time.

Under such circumstances, they should be anxious to break through. How could they be so calm?

On the other hand, although they waited patiently and occupied the advantage of the natural chasm, the more time passed in such a tense atmosphere, the more chaotic the people became.

They were terrified and uneasy. They were afraid that they would become failures, but they were also afraid that one day, they would be abandoned like those people.

There were various impacts in their hearts. After two days of stalemate, Fuze, who was resting with his eyes closed in the sky, suddenly opened his eyes. “The wind is blowing…”
