Chapter 1180: Before The Huge Battle
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Still in the Imperial City, Li Biexue stood on the highest floor of the 99-storey, stargazing tower.
This was originally where Zhongxuan stayed. However, after he took over as Grand Teacher, this place became his.
Yinyu had nothing to do and was sitting behind him.
“What has the Grand Teacher seen? Did Xiuguan really come back?”
Li Biexue scoffed and shook his head, “I’m not Zhongxuan and don’t study divination. I am unable to see the stars too clearly. As for Xiuguan, I am still uncertain. However, this person will return sooner or later, so why bother?”
While speaking, his eyes were fully focused on a dot in front of him.
That drop of blood was his Soul essence blood. At this moment, it was dark red.
There were tens of thousands of Demon Path cultivation methods and most of them were evil and special.
What he used was one known as Purple Blood Secret Discerning Technique. It was something he obtained before he arrived in the Cloud World.
Using his own blood to merge with 1,000 drops of different bloods to discern his life or death within a hundred days.
The blood had to be obtained from the womb before the baby was given birth to.
He would use it before each huge matter. Before End Realm he had used this technique to avoid death many times.
After End Realm, his soul rested on the Dao. He became more and more sensitive to the secrets of the Heavens. When he used this technique his senses became really clear. He was pretty much able to sense everything that happens to him within 100 days.
Half a breath later, the dark red liquid didn’t react at all.
He was confused and then shook his head. Blood shining gold means it is good. It turning black meant that it was bad.
Through the process Li Biexue could see various scenarios which correlated to what would happen.
However, today he only saw a few. One of them would be Zong Shou stepping into the city.
Another would be Zong Shou being trapped in a black lightning net and was in despair.
He stood on the tower and looked down coldly.
The Blood didn’t change because there was no danger in a hundred days? There weren’t any good occurrences too, so it was just neutral.
Then, why did he only see such few?
The situation was different from the past.
Li Biexue had an idea and thought back to Xi Zi’s death and the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle.
Before the battle, the technique also failed too. During the Xi Zi battle he wasn’t able to sense anything. During the Vast Habitat one, he only knew that he would be fine and didn’t know that Xingya would die.
Thinking about it, such a situation was normal.
Although there were many End Realm participants in this battle, it wasn’t enough to block the ability.
Which is why the outcome made sense.
Yinyu didn’t realize Li Biexue’s emotional changes during the short time. He smiled and said.
“Hearing your words, you seem really confident. However, I also heard that Xiuguan is someone using the Eternal Dao and can’t be destroyed. Although I have the twelve Copper Men…”
Before he finished, Li Biexue cut him off, “Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation!”
Yinyu was stunned, only to hear Li Biexue continue, “In four days, I will Place this formation in the city. At that time, even if Xiuguan and the other End Realms from Common People’s Path come, there is nothing they can do!”
“Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering?”
Yinyu didn’t understand. However, seeing how confident Li Biexue was, he knew it was really strong.
He smiled, “I will order the four aristocratic families to listen to you. I will seek help from Zhu Zi and the Taoist Faction.”
“Zhu Zi? Taoist Faction?”
Li Biexue scoffed coldly, “If we really set this up, they probably wouldn’t dare to take a step in. The Yang and Li Families might not be willing too.”
Yinyu didn’t care. Instead, he felt more confident towards Li Biexue, “Even if those few don’t dare to enter, it is good if they help from the sides. If you win, with Zhu Zi and Qingxuan here, Xiuguan and the others wouldn’t be able to escape. If we lose, we will also be able to salvage the situation.”
Li Biexue nodded as an agreement. Yinyu smiled with a dark and cold expression on his face, “As for those aristocratic families, they don’t have a choice!”
Just as they were speaking, Yinyu thought about someone, “If that Cibei Toaist Lord and Xiuguan worked together, then what would happen?”
Cibei was one of the three Saint Venerables of the Taoist Faction and even after splitting, the Taiqing line cultivators treated him as their ancestor.
This person who was pretty much half a step True Realm was not much weaker than Xiuguan.
If those two worked together, the situation would be really tough.
“Cibei Taoist Lord? That is not possible! If he dared to appear here he wouldn’t have waited until now. If the Sword Sect Sect Head is smart he also wouldn’t interfere in this battle.”
Li Biexue waved his sleeves to show that it wasn’t a problem. As for what the reason was, he didn’t say it out loud. However, his tone was more and more firm.
His eyes flickered a little as he looked into the distance, “Your official Zuoxin requests to see you. Behind him is the Yang Family Head. It is as you expected!”
Yinyu’s eyes were like a hawk as he looked down from the 99-storey tower.
As expected, two people enter the palace gates. Zuoxin should have been here on orders, and as for the Yang Family Head Yang Yeheng, who knew why he was here?
He scoffed coldly. The five aristocratic families were good at playing the situation, otherwise, how could they have survived from the Cloud Desolate Era to now?
They had already hesitated for a full day, and if till now they hadn’t made their mind up, then he would have been extremely disappointed.
Great Gan was facing problems both inside and outside. The Dark World Demon Court was attacking Tianfang World and the Jiangnan five states were in danger too.
However, Zong Shou ended up making such a stupid decision. Those aristocratic families lost their ability to bargain with him.
He thought back to Jin Buhui. His expression sunk down before he smiled.
He didn’t expect that such a small person would provoke such huge rage from Zong Shou, pretty much making him lose his mind.
If he knew that that was the case, he would have left him alive to hold the Great Gan Ruler hostage.
He didn’t understand Zong Shou. To say that he was dumb, but he swept the Cloud World. To say he was a mighty lord but he ended up letting his emotions get the better of him.
Yinyu couldn’t help but shake his head, “Actually there is something I don’t understand. Did Zong Shou really come for Jin Buhui? To take such a risk for a friend, even not caring about the fall of Great Gan and Common People’s Path?”
“That might not be the case! Your Majesty has gotten the twelve Copper Men and your country’s fate has been rejuvenated. As long as you get enough Saint Realm Venerables you’ll be able to sweep the world like the Qin Emperor! You might even be able to attack the outer region. To them, this is when you are the weakest and this might be your final chance.”
Yinyu was deep in thought when he heard that. Actually, he also guessed the same way, and he asked because he still felt a little uneasy.
“Moreover, Zong Shou is only a little confident. Your Majesty must know that during the Qin Emperor Tomb battle, out of the six factions and many aristocratic families, there are at least 20 Saint Realm cultivators missing…”
When he said that, Li Biexue’s eyes squinted, “I suspect that it has something to do with him!”
Yinyu was more confused. Even if their deaths had something to do with Zong Shou, he couldn’t threaten any End Realm cultivator.
Li Biexue didn’t explain anymore and was in deep thought himself.
Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings, had Zong Shou already grasped that item? Or maybe this was the reason why Common People’s Path and Xiuguan dared to enter the Imperial City?
Unfortunately, Su Xiaoxiao killed herself and due to the interference of the Dragon Formation, he lost sensory ability of the tomb and didn’t know the details…
However, even if it was that item, it wasn’t a problem.
Everything in the world had a counter and Qin Emperor created the twelve Copper Men, the only counter to the wings.
He still had a chance of getting the God Treasure back!

“It has been confirmed! News of Xiuguan returning was spread from Great Gan’s Zhang Huai?”
Within Daoling Vast Habitat, Qingxuan was within the Thousand Lamp Room and his eyes were filled with confusion.
“What is Zong Shou planning? He wants to enter the city and take Yinyu’s head, is that just a lie? He actually doesn’t have such a plan…”
“Zong Shou has always kept to his word and has never gone back against it.”
Taihuang Taoist Lord also didn’t understand, “From start to finish, this whole thing is suspicious. Yinyu obtaining the Copper Men, Li Biexue becoming Gran Teacher, Zong Shou entering the capital. Dragon Swallowing Situation, overlord appears. Maybe there are some things within that we don’t know of. However if Zong Shou enters the city he will definitely die!”
The front few sentences were filled with doubt but only the last was really firm.
Qingxuan also didn’t doubt. The strength of the twelve Copper Men was something he witnessed ten thousand years ago.
During that era, 3,000 Taoist sects were nearly wiped out.
“I feel that something is weird. If Zong Shou isn’t confident he wouldn’t try this out. Before this during the Qin Emperor Tomb period I felt that something wasn’t right. We lost four Saint Realm experts…”
Just as he was speaking, his eyes were filled with cold intent as he grabbed into the space outside.
In just a moment, he grabbed a golden scroll.
He didn’t open it wide to look, as a few breaths later Zhu Zi appeared within.
“Great Shang has summoned us to rush to the Imperial City in four days to defend against Common People’s Path. Qingxuan Taihuang, what do you two think?”
Qingxuan didn’t reply right away, unhappiness flashing in his eyes.
He had just gotten the twelve Copper Men and he hadn’t even used it to add to his strength and he was already ordering them around. What will happen in the future?
“Li Biexue will definitely lay out the Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation just in case. We two won’t dare to enter and can only defend from the outside. Zhu Zi, are you going to stop them or are you going to be like us?”
Zhu Zi’s eyes were filled with shock and then he firmed himself up, “I have made my mind up. I can’t stop them, so I can only try to persuade. Actually, if we can kill that evil demon, I don’t mind working with the Demon Path!”
“Then, let’s wait for the fall of Zong Shou outside of the city, or the death of Yinyu…!”
Qingxuan laughed, a cold intent appeared in his eyes. He actually wanted to know what happened between Zong Shou and Li Biexue.
However, the only thing he could do now was wait.
