Chapter 2208: Chapter 738: Betrayal

The Wood God and Nine Phoenix Alliance entered Youdu unharmed.

However, at the moment of stepping into Youdu, Nine Phoenix sensed something amiss.

The Youdu Sovereign, Shen Qingxuan, had been quite diligent upon entering Youdu, not only using his divine power to help suppress the power of death netherworld within Youdu but also assisting them in gathering various military resources, guiding paths, and surrendering and recruiting defectors.

Yet, suddenly, as their army attacked the fourth layer of Youdu, the Youdu Sovereign disappeared without a trace.

Not only the Youdu Sovereign himself, but several divine generals under Youdu were also missing.

"What’s going on?"

Nine Phoenix felt cold-hearted and directly flew to the Central Army to inquire of the Wood God: "Why did Shen Qingxuan escape? Did some changes occur in Youdu or the Outer Domain?"

She could feel that the Youdu Sovereign Shen Qingxuan was genuinely helping them to enter Youdu.

This person didn’t do anything shady during the process.

The abrupt departure of Shen Qingxuan must be due to some change in the situation inside and outside of the Netherworld, and it’s extremely disadvantageous for them, causing Shen Qingxuan, the fence-sitter, to flee directly, no longer favoring their assault on Youdu this time.

The Wood God’s face was as cold as a chunk of ice.

His eyes showed a mix of anger and fear.

However, upon Nine Phoenix’s arrival, he forced himself to regain his composure, bearing a mocking smile: "What changes could there be? Shen Qingxuan is a two-faced scoundrel, the most unworthy of my descendants. He merely figured out my true intentions and is unwilling to assist me further."

He stroked the ’Death Book’ on his knee, looking up towards the top of Youdu: "The army continues to advance, according to the original military strategy. As long as we take Youdu, I will be the Sovereign of the Netherworld!"

Nine Phoenix frowned, scrutinizing the Wood God closely.

She then spread her wings and, in a flash, returned to her war chariot.

"Have you made contact with Jingsu Star Lord? What is the situation outside?"

Nine Phoenix was asking the Vermilion Bird Star Lord.

Vermilion Bird Seven Stars - Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen.

Among them, Ghost Star Lord has the strongest combat power, and Jingsu Star Lord is the calmest and most capable.

In this expedition by Vermilion Bird leading the army, Jingsu Star Lord is responsible for staying back.

Vermilion Bird shook his head gravely: "No contact yet, Si Huangquan’s power of death netherworld, combined with the will of the entire Netherworld, has blocked off the inside and outside of Youdu. The situation is very tricky. Besides Si Huangquan, there’s also the power of Stone God, in addition, possibly mixed with Sky Covering Power, maybe it’s the Three Generation of Saint Emperor, I’m not sure—"

"Stone God Shi Yin? The Three Generation of Saint Emperor of Human Clan?"

Nine Phoenix originally sat on her throne, but upon hearing this, she suddenly stood up, her pupils contracting intensely.

"Command to return to the outer layers of Youdu, instruct Chi Zhi Star Lord to lead his troops to check the situation of the Divine Rune Array. If this array is still intact, we need to activate the Transmission Array at the fastest speed, speed is essential!"

Nine Phoenix then raised her hand to summon a mirror to her side.

She infused the mirror with divine power, managing to pierce through layers of void in the Netherworld.

"Divine Origin Mirror?"

Vermilion Bird glanced at it, raising Liu Mei slightly: "Your Majesty plans to directly leave the Netherworld?"

This was once the Divine Artifact of the Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor Shen Yu, capable of breaking through the temporal void using the ’Yuan Tian’ method.

The core power of Holy Emperor Shen Yu was ’Yuan Tian’ and ’Derivation Heaven,’ he mastered the origins of everything and could derive and transform them.

He could wield all heavenly rules power and reach extremely high realms, even able to deduce everything and predict the future.

This Heavenly Emperor was recognized from birth as someone who could surpass the East Emperor.

"Better safe than sorry!"

Nine Phoenix held her hand behind her back, looking afar: "If it’s truly the Three Generation of Saint Emperor, the situation we’re facing is likely extremely perilous. If it turns impossible, we cannot be trapped here."

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord slightly lowered her head, avoiding Nine Phoenix sensing any difference.

So, to leave thirty thousand elite troops of the Phoenix Clan here, along with her two hundred thousand Vermilion Bird Divine Army, in the Netherworld?

At this moment, Vermilion Bird Star Lord noticed a faint ghostly light gathering at her hand.

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord was slightly surprised but quietly grasped that faint ghostly light.

Her pupils then contracted violently.

Chi Zhi Star Lord is an upper god with Phoenix True Blood, not only possessing strong divine power, extremely fast tunneling speed, but also great mobility.

The feedback news was terrible.

Although the Divine Rune Array remained intact, not destroyed, for their fifty thousand troops to return by the same route, it would require a lot of Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit to be filled.

But worse, Chi Zhi Star Lord saw Master Wood Star inside this Divine Rune Array.

"Retreat!"

Upon receiving Chi Zhi Star Lord’s communication, Nine Phoenix Star Lord did not hesitate, fully opening the channel to the Nailuo River.

This netherworld void was indeed blocked, and she couldn’t unleash the full power of the Divine Origin Mirror.

Nine Phoenix Star Lord could only transfer first from the Nailuo River, leaving the Netherworld in two steps, but in an instant, a sword light suddenly flew over, severing the power of the Divine Origin Mirror.

"Heaven-cutting Sword?"

Nine Phoenix Star Lord’s heart sank, falling to the bottom.

That was the Wood Sword Immortal, the so-called Emperor of Nanji Changsheng!

Just in the next moment, Nine Phoenix Star Lord suddenly felt her hairs stand on end.

Her heart surged actively, sensing extreme danger.

"Who is it?"

Nine Phoenix abruptly turned, looking to her side.

She then found a mass of black mist appearing before her eyes, within the black mist was someone with beautiful features, yet a cold expression filled with sharp killing intent.
