The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Divide the Troops into Eight Routes

After a brief consideration, the ancestors of the Six Great Families all nodded in agreement.

”Mr. Gu, if what you say is true, then my Cheng Family is willing to support you and your war with the Glory Alliance discreetly. However, if after Jing Yan is slain, he does not possess the Qiankun Ring as you have claimed, what kind of explanation do you think your Gai Family owes us?” the Cheng Family ancestor asked with a sudden turn in his tone.

”Yes! What if Jing Yan doesn’t have the Qiankun Ring, Mr. Gu? What then?”

”After all, the only claims about the Qiankun Ring come from your family, Mr. Gu. None of us can be certain whether Jing Yan truly possesses the Qiankun Ring or not.”

The six family ancestors spoke one after another.

”My dear brothers, you are indeed cautious. Rest assured, if Jing Yan does not have the Qiankun Ring, then all other resources on him will belong to you, my family will not want a thing. You should also have an estimate of the quantity of valuable elixirs on Jing Yan. Additionally, my Gai Family will offer resources equivalent to twenty spiritual artifacts to further compensate for your losses!” Gu Wanquan said with a firm voice.

”Actually, my dear brothers don’t really need to doubt the existence of the Qiankun Ring on Jing Yan. That beast’s Martial Arts Cultivation is unmatched, and his mastery over both Alchemy Dao and Array Dao also towers above the entire continent. Think about it, how could he have achieved this if he did not inherit the legacy of the Death Temple’s owner?” Gu Wanquan was convinced and also believed that Jing Yan possessed the Qiankun Ring.

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the Six Great Families’ ancestors bid farewell and left; they had to return to their own families to prepare.

They could not publicly announce their assistance to the Gai Family and could only mobilize Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners that were not from their own families to participate in the war. It would be difficult to explain if the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners from their own families were to fight.

However, each of their families had cultivated quite a number of Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists.

After the ancestors of the Six Great Families departed, Gu Wanquan took out the Communication Crystal again and sent another message.

”Why haven’t you returned yet? The family is in trouble, come back quickly. Do you really want to see your own family destroyed?” Gu Wanquan, filled with anger, gritted his teeth as he sent out the message.

Three months passed in haste.

Holy City, Jing Yan Residence!

”Jing Yan, do you have confidence in your final battle with the Gai Family?” Jing Lunnan looked at Jing Yan.

”I do not have absolute confidence,” Jing Yan shook his head.

He had tried to gather as much information as possible about the hidden strength of the Gai Family through the Holy Palace, but the Holy Palace did not fully grasp all of the Gai Family’s concealed prowess.

That is to say, there were many uncertainties!

”I am truly useless! Alas, I still... have not been able to step into the Daoist Emperor Realm!” Jing Lunnan showed a bitter smile.

”Father, you need not worry too much; just stay here and focus on your cultivation. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to break through,” Jing Yan said, frowning.

In terms of resources, his father, Jing Lunnan, was using what could be considered the best available to any Martial Artist on the entire Continent. But advancing from the Dao King to the Dao Emperor was extremely difficult. It wasn’t a matter of having enough resources to guarantee success. Even those with the highest Martial Arts Talent were not guaranteed to break through.

”I understand the logic!” Jing Lunnan reluctantly nodded.

”Father, leave the Gai Family matter to me! It’s time for me to go. Stay here and devote yourself to cultivating; wait for my news,” Jing Yan said to his father, seeing that it was about the right time to leave.

Jing Lunnan did not say much more.

He stood in place, watching Jing Yan leave the residence.

Outside the Holy City, a large number of Martial Artists gathered.

Private soldiers from dojos, core member families of alliances, and nine Hall Masters had also brought a large number of Martial Artists.

They were all waiting for Jing Yan.

Under the command of the Guiyang Great Pill King, Healing Pills, Primordial Qi Pills, and others were all distributed.

When Jing Yan arrived, the whole scene quieted down. Jing Yan swept his gaze over the thousands of Dao Emperor Realm and Dao King Realm Martial Artists gathered before him and gave a slight nod.

At this moment, many of the Martial Artists standing here might die in this battle.

They understood that they might die, but they still came.

”Brothers, are you ready?” Jing Yan’s calm voice hid an uneasy heart.

”Alliance Leader, we are ready!” The entire crowd responded in a unified and forceful voice.

”Then... let’s set out!” Jing Yan didn’t know what else to say.

Let’s set out!

One by one, the Spiritual Ships were released, and the Martial Artists quickly boarded the ships that floated in the air.

A Spiritual Ship was a mode of transportation that was much faster than the Sky Swallow Carriage. A regular Spiritual Ship could carry around two hundred Martial Artists.

In the sky above, there were a total of sixteen Spiritual Ships.

All Martial Artists boarded the Spiritual Ships within a brief tea time.

The Spiritual Ships flew at full speed, faster than Dao King Realm Martial Artists but slightly slower than those of the Dao Emperor Realm.

For a large group of Martial Artists traveling together, using Spiritual Ships was definitely much better than individual flight. Moreover, each Spiritual Ship was protected by Formations, making it not so easy for the ships to be breached from the outside.

Even for Jing Yan to completely disable a Spiritual Ship, it would take some time. The protective power of a Spiritual Ship was much stronger than that of a Defensive Spiritual Artifact. Of course, the value of a Spiritual Ship was also incomparable to an ordinary defensive artifact.

Most of these Spiritual Ships belonging to Jing Yan were provided with the support of the Holy Palace Saint Master. Out of the sixteen ships, only two were acquired by Jing Yan through his own channels.

On the surface of the ships, a layer of faint light shields emerged and then the ships began to fly.

Their target... the Gai Family Eight Counties.

More than half a month later!

Sixteen glory alliance Spiritual Ships entered the territory of the Gai Family Eight Counties.

On their way, they did not encounter any interference. Jing Yan initially thought that the Gai Family would send people to stop them, but the journey turned out to be surprisingly smooth, with no Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists appearing.

The Gai Family probably felt that sending a small number of Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists would be useless and might even result in direct annihilation by the Glory Alliance.

Somewhere in the territory of the Gai Family Eight Counties, in the sky.

The sixteen Spiritual Ships gradually separated into eight groups, with two ships per team.

The leader of each team was one of the strongest among the core members of the Splendid Dojo.

Zheng Sanxiao led one team, Liu Rufeng led another...

Most of the team leaders were Peak Martial Artists with First-class Combat Power of the Dao Emperor Realm. Jing Yan’s plan was to attack the eight counties controlled by the Gai Family simultaneously. And Jing Yan himself would lead a team to attack the Cheng Family stronghold of Flowing Light City.

The defensive power of Flowing Light City would surely be the strongest, so the team led by Jing Yan had the most Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists, and overall strength far surpassed the other eight teams. All nine Hall Masters were also in the team led by Jing Yan.

”My lords!”

”You will each lead a team to attack a Commandery of the Gai Family. During the battle, do not be too hasty; ensure to completely destroy the city’s Guardian Array before engaging the Martial Artists inside!” Jing Yan once again reminded the seven team leaders standing in front of him.
