Chapter 1645: Chapter 432: How Many Experts Does the Underworld Truly Have? If Qian Yuan Cannot Be Conquered, Attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect Instead

”At the very least, we should show it to Your Majesty...”

Xie Yunshen said.

Gu Qianchi was taken aback.

”So... who does the State Preceptor plan to attack?”

”The Guangling Dao is next to the Lingnan Dao, so let’s attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect along the way...”

Xie Yunshen leaned back in the Taishi Chair, coughing lightly, as a flush of red appeared on his face.

Attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?!

Gu Qianchi was bewildered.

This... such a leap?

Wasn’t the sect master of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect just killed in battle fighting for the court army against the Qian Yuan Divine Sect?

And now, turning around to attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?!

Such cold-bloodedness?

And it wasn’t only Gu Qianchi who was shocked; on the warship, the many Martial Saints and Divine Fetuses surrounding Xie Yunshen were equally stunned and aghast.

Ning Caisen from the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, and Gu Cheng, the Sichuan Sword Pavilion Sect Master, both gasped, while even the film emperor Huang Mei frowned, uttering a feigned ”Amitabha Buddha.”

Gu Qianchi’s face twitched as he looked at Xie Yunshen with a complex expression.

No wonder he, from such humble origins, became the most trusted State Preceptor recognized by the Emperor of Great Vista; indeed, ruthless, heartless, indifferent, and cruel!

But still...

If Xie Yunshen could treat the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect this way today, wouldn’t he treat the Sichuan Sword Pavilion the same way one day?

A cold, inscrutable look slowly emerged on Gu Qianchi’s face.

Xie Yunshen glanced at Gu Qianchi and couldn’t help but smile lightly: ”Does Grandmaster Gu think I am too cruel, heartless, indifferent, and treacherous? The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect has agreed to submit to the Great Vista... and yet, after failing to conquer the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, I turned my sights to the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect. Too cruel?”

Gu Qianchi nodded slightly.

He wanted to hear Xie Yunshen’s justification; if he couldn’t get a satisfactory explanation, it was also time to part ways.

Xie Yunshen shook his head: ”Grandmaster Gu... The Sichuan Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect are not the same.”

”The Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, Sichuan Sword Pavilion, Seven Treasures Divine Sect, Haoran Academy, and Heavenly Pill Divine Sect... these are the Five Great Divine Sects that chose to submit to the Da Jing Dynasty. Only the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect and Sichuan Sword Pavilion have sincerely submitted to the court, whereas the Seven Treasures Divine Sect is truly distant and hard to judge, but Haoran Academy and Heavenly Pill Divine Sect are actually... not sincere at all.”

”They just want to use the court’s power as armor, to utilize the court’s power to attack other divine sects and weaken their strength. After all, they didn’t even send a Divine Tribulation Expert to support...”

Xie Yunshen’s eyes were indifferent.

”I have personally visited the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect... The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect is right in Guangling Dao, next to Lingnan Dao. If they sincerely submitted to the court, why did the Yangxuan Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect refuse to help?”

”From the start, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect has always been in my plans to attack and destroy the sect.”

After Xie Yunshen finished speaking, Gu Qianchi’s gaze shifted subtly, easing a lot.

He believed it.

After all, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect is right in Guangling Dao, so close. Why didn’t their grandmaster come to help?

It’s known that having one more Divine Tribulation Expert would naturally make conquering the sect easier.

Xie Yunshen’s face was flushed red, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his complexion as white as wax, yet he straightened his shoulders, staring directly at Gu Qianchi.

”Grandmaster Gu... The Dragon Tiger Divine Sect and Sichuan Sword Pavilion, they are one of us; the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect... is not.”

”Grandmaster Gu, are you willing to assist me one last time? In attacking the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, I have the best cards, ensuring I will succeed in conquering and destroying the sect!” Xie Yunshen was very excited.

”Grandmaster Gu...”

”I am, truly dying.”

Hearing this, Gu Qianchi looked at the excited yet confident Xie Yunshen and couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration. Just as Xie Yunshen said, he was indeed on the verge of death. Thinking of this, he sighed lightly.

”Alright, then... this will be the last time.”

...

...

Above Qianyuan Dao City.

The black clouds pressed down endlessly, as if a long-stored catastrophic storm was about to unleash and explode at this very moment!

However, before the catastrophic storm erupted, an unprecedented cheer broke out on the city walls.

It was the soldiers of the Divine Guard Army, and even the four Great Generals like Han Qizhong couldn’t help but let out a long breath of relief, their tense bodies completely relaxed.

They retreated.

The court army has completely retreated!

This meant that the Qian Yuan Divine Sect had won again!

They had defeated the court army twice in a row, the same army led by the State Preceptor Xie Yunshen.

Before the war started, who could have imagined this outcome?

Facing the combined forces of the Five Divine Sects and the court, ready to stand up for themselves, the soldiers in Qianyuan Dao City were all prepared to die in battle after the city fell.

Yet, who could have imagined, victorious twice, directly causing the court warships to slink away like defeated dogs?

The victory in Qianyuan Dao City was utterly uplifting.

Now in Qian Yuan, if they were to directly rebel and establish their own base, there probably wouldn’t be any problem!

Of course, many others remained very calm because they knew these two victories were inextricably linked to the Underworld!

The cheers were thunderous and nonstop, deafening and overwhelming!

Li Che returned from Mo City, switching identities with the Painting Immortal Avatar Horse Face, feeling the jubilant atmosphere, and couldn’t help but smile, in an excellent mood.

Boom——!!!

The terrifying Calamity Wind, after brewing for so long, could no longer be contained, and exploded with a bang!

Above the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple.

The plum blossom tree bloomed brilliantly in the cold winter, with each plum blossom in full bloom.
