Chapter 1090: Chapter 379: Consecutive Slashes Through the Ninth Heavenly Layer (12,000-Words, Three-in-One Chapter)

Yuan Mobai: "That’s right."

His tone was as calm as usual: "It is true that the Old Palace of Chang’an has been entered by Luo Yuan, but it seems there are quite a few clever tricks at play in other matters."

Lei Jun: "Master, please wait for a moment."

He pondered slightly, looking into the distance towards Luoyang City.

In the illusory Baiguang Dijing of the Shangguan, the four spirit figures of dragon, phoenix, spirit turtle, and qilin appeared vivid and lifelike, rising and falling, displaying the grandeur and cultural elegance of a great nation.

Lei Jun watched for a moment longer, then his thoughts sank into the Celestial Book Universe.

The current Celestial Book Universe was silent.

Only the radiance of the Taibai Metal Scepter representing Lei Jun was shining.

Lei Jun’s gaze swept across and finally landed on the Taiyin Yueyao side.

He left a simple message for Taiyin Yueyao:

"Where is the Qilin now?"

Then he stayed silent and motionless, waiting quietly.

After a while, there was suddenly a response from Taiyin Yueyao:

"The Qilin is in Luoyang. Today, the rain is heavy in Luoyang, but if you are already outside of Luoyang, it is certain that the rain will clear after you arrive."

Lei Jun replied calmly: "Where is the rain coming from?"

The other side, Taiyin Yueyao, seemed busy with something.

After another moment, a message was returned to Lei Jun: "Qingzhou, Wuzhou, Jingxiang, Cangzhou, Youzhou, and Luoyang City itself."

Lei Jun read it, nodded slightly, and did not reply further.

There was no movement from Taiyin Yueyao’s side either.

After Lei Jun’s mind left the Celestial Book Universe, he chatted briefly with Master Yuan Mobai and his junior brother Chu Kun, who was in the Southern Wilderness.

......

Southern Wilderness.

Near the void gateway from the Tang Dynasty Human Realm to the Earth Sea.

The portal was closed, severing the connection between Earth Sea and the Mortal World.

At this moment, on the Mortal World side, a large number of Tang Dynasty cultivators and Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect descendants were gathered.

The group was diligently planning to reopen the pathway between the Tang Dynasty and Earth Sea.

To be precise, the current efforts were proving effective.

The person in charge was the newly arrived important minister of the Tang Dynasty, a Great Scholar of the Eighth Heavenly Layer Divine Archery Lineage, Chu Yu.

"Hmm, Master Chu has indeed prepared a lot of things for this trip."

On the side, Chu Kun avoided others and was speaking to his senior brother Lei Jun: "Their research and understanding of the Earth Sea portal are also deep, prepared with many rare materials, currently setting up the ritual, believing the Earth Sea portal can be reopened soon."

After listening to Lei Jun say a few words, Chu Kun displayed a half-surprised, half-enlightened expression.

After coming to his senses, Chu Kun continued: "Although everything seems to align, senior brother, you should remain cautious in case anything changes."

He ended the conversation with Lei Jun and returned to the vicinity of the Earth Sea portal.

After a while, he suddenly noticed Chu Yu also pausing her work and receiving the Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person Technique from the Confucian Sect.

After reading it, Chu Yu’s expression remained calm.

But she immediately turned to look at Chu Kun’s side.

"Elder Chu, does your sect’s Celestial Master Lei, National Master Tang, and Master Xu currently have any news?" Chu Yu asked.

Chu Kun’s expression was as usual, offering little response, only ambiguously saying: "When the Earth Sea portal closed, Sect Leader did send a message stating there’s already a solution, telling us not to worry."

Chu Yu, upon hearing this, did not press further, just nodded: "Celestial Master Lei is stable and decisive, his words will be trustworthy, since he says so, there should be no concern, but to be safe, we should still reopen the Earth Sea portal as soon as possible to address the ongoing changes in the Tang Dynasty."

Chu Kun: "Master Chu’s words are correct, I completely agree."

......

The battle of Luoyang had reached its most intense phase.

Prince Zhao, Zhang Teng, also revealed some news about Qingzhou, Jingxiang, and other places, regarding the demon chaos back in the day in Guanlong, Qingzhou, Jingxiang, and other places, helping Great Demons conceal themselves, allowing the Snow Country Bear King and Long Sky Gray Wolf of that time, to cross the Grand River’s natural barrier undetected by Human Race cultivators, and wreak havoc in Guanlong.

Unfortunately, the channels for disseminating such information across the world were currently very scarce.

Not only because the current Qingzhou Ye Clan, Jingxiang Fang Clan, and Suzhou Chu Clan held the upper hand.

Also because, in similar matters, the former Jinzhou Ye Clan and Youzhou Forest Clan also had varying degrees of involvement.

While colluding with the foreign Martial Saint Bomo Ge and Luo Yuan was a solo dirty deed of Prince Zhao, Zhang Teng.

At this stage, the tug-of-war regarding the National Fate Dragon Vein had come to fruition.

Previously having gathered a majority of the National Destiny Dragon Qi, Prince Zhao could only watch as everything slipped through his fingers, unable to hold onto it.

Subsequently, he could only rely on his martial arts skills to battle enemies.

Besides the top several experts, there were still many in the Illusory Imperial Capital currently engaging in contests.

Led by Clan Chief Lin Huan, numerous experts from the Youzhou Forest Clan, and soldiers under Prince Zhao were fiercely fighting against the current legitimate Qingzhou Ye Clan and Jingxiang Fang Clan cultivators.

Lin Huan wielding the Shuofeng Sword was unstoppable unless facing an opponent from the Ninth Heavenly Layer or Crown Prince Zhang Hui himself.

But with Ye Yan and Fang Jingsheng present, even Lin Huan was finding it difficult to perform.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty Divine Strategy Army cultivators stationed at the imperial capital Luoyang also fell into brief chaos and internal strife.

Aside from Ye Jiong from Qingzhou, members of the Zhang Tang Imperial Clan and the Shangguan Clan, among other noble families, also had many participating.

Princess Shanyang, Zhang Ying, at this moment was persuading other members of the Zhang Tang imperial family.

King Zhang Yang of Chen Mountain and King Nanyang, Zhang Zhi, both said: "We never intended to regicide, at most, we only wish to ask the Emperor in Chang’an to abdicate."

Their tone was still gentle, while the veteran general Shangguan Xiu next to them remained expressionless:

"Whether it be the Zhang Tang Imperial Clan or our Shangguan Clan, or other military nobility families, since the founding of the country, we have been loyally following successive emperors.

Yet the Emperor in Chang’an shows little virtue and gratitude, in the Western Regions battle, our various clans were depleted of Primordial Qi, while she pretended consolation, she concurrently promoted commoners to high positions, squeezing us out of our space, burning bridges, and leaving us cold with indignation!"
