Translator: 549690339

Several days ago, after Chu Dingqian was born, the outside world immediately learned that the Daqian Empire still had an elderly ancestor in the True Martial Realm, suspected to be the same old monster who had been in the True Martial Realm eight hundred years ago, during Emperor Wu’s time.

The forces of the outside world were shocked. The True Martial Realm ancestor hidden by the Daqian Empire hadn’t entered the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm to assist Prince Wu’an in the struggle for the Dragon Ball?

Before they could react, they received intelligence that the defense lines of the Daqian were starting to comprehensively shrink, planning to abandon the Outer Twelve States and were busily preparing for a retreat.

The various forces were puzzled. Didn’t the Daqian Empire still have a True Martial Realm ancestor? Was there really a need to do this?

Soon, two more pieces of intelligence spread out. Prince Wu’an was suspected to have died in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, and the True Martial Realm ancestor who had recently emerged was nearing his end, not long for this world.

The powers of all sides had a sudden realization, understanding why the Daqian would adopt such a course of action. The situation was truly precarious, and collapse was not far off, supported only by a dying True Martial Realm ancestor.

As the towering tree of the Daqian Dynasty was about to fall, the Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, and Da Jing Empire accelerated their invasion. Fengbo Pavilion also made constant moves in the Eastern Three Provinces, intending to swiftly swallow up the provinces before reaching out to other major states.

Within the Daqian Dynasty, everyone was in a state of panic, with all the forces looking for a new allegiance, or temporarily relocating to the Mid Six Province.

In these past few days, several high officials of the Daqian, upon receiving messages from the Capital City, had been preparing to withdraw back to the Mid Six Province. Before that, they needed to scavenge what they could in the Twelve Province.

They planned to take away all the cultivational resources from the Twelve Province that could be taken, as well as any willing smaller forces wanting to follow them in the retreat.

Previously, when executing their plans, high officials like the State Preceptor, the Left Chancellor, the Prophet, and several others of the Daqian were dispatched to four war zones to oversee operations. The high official in charge of Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou was the Mentor of Daqian, who also brought a Great General and a nation-supporting pillar with him, both Great Grandmasters in the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

After the arrival of the Mentor and others, the deteriorating situation was alleviated, and the Leizhou battlefield, which previously had Wan Guiyuan, Yang Tianxiong, and Master Lan, now had six Great Grandmasters.

With the six Great Grandmasters and the army, they held back the invasion of the Yinyang Sect forces, and both parties were preparing for a major battle in Fengyang Manor. But instructions from the Capital City suddenly came, directing the Mentor and others to retreat back to the Mid Six Province.

This left the Mentor and his colleagues feeling extremely helpless. They had a sensation of “While we are ready to fight to the death, why does His Majesty order a retreat first?”

But the Mentor and his people complied anyway, immediately starting preparations. They also knew that the situation of the Daqian had deteriorated to an extreme point, and a retreat was necessary.

Prince Wu’an and Chu Wuji, the reclusive emperor that the outside world was unaware of, were dead. With only one dying True Martial Realm ancestor left barely holding on, the Daqian simply couldn’t defend such a vast territory.

The retreat, however, could not be completed in a single day. It had to be gradual, taking with them everything that could be taken from the three provinces to avoid leaving anything for the Yinyang Sect.

By now, the Mentor had already led the armies of the Daqian out of Leizhou, organizing defenses to block the relentless pursuit of the Yinyang Sect while simultaneously coordinating teams to scavenge the resources of Huozhou and Qingzhou.

All the sects and forces in the provinces unwilling to accept the rule of the Yinyang Sect and planning to withdraw to the Mid Six Province were also organized for a retreat.

While withdrawing from Leizhou, the Mentor had visited Tianxuan Mountain in hopes of convincing them to also retreat, as they had three or four Great Grandmasters in the Myriad Phenomena Realm, which would undoubtedly be of immeasurable help to the current state of the Daqian.

However, Gongsun Yun did not agree. He was already preparing to move Tianxuan Mountain. The rule of the Yinyang Sect in Leizhou was of no concern to him; they would be able to swiftly escape the Daqian Dynasty on the Heavenly Sky Plural Ship in due time.

With the Grandmasters of the True Martial Realm from the Yinyang Sect trapped within the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, no one could stop the Heavenly Sky Plural Ship, which was comparably as fast as a mid-stage practitioner in the True Martial Realm.

Tianxuan Mountain refused to advance or retreat together with the Daqian, and while the Mentor felt helpless, he didn’t say much more and returned to lead the army out of Leizhou.

Not just in the southern provinces, but also in the east, west, and north, each high official conceded one province, allowing the three great powers to digest them, buying more time for their retreat.

Just as the Daqian had retreated to Huozhou and Qingzhou, and the Yinyang Sect had just swallowed Leizhou, a figure quietly arrived in Qingzhou.

It was another night when the moon shone brightly and the stars were sparse.

The Devil Princess, Yun Miaoyi, was flying towards the direction of the Canghai Sect, being extremely cautious on the way, for fear of being discovered.

When the Yinyang Sect invaded Leizhou, Yun Miaoyi had come along and picked up some cheap gains, establishing some merits.

Now that Qingzhou housed numerous Great Grandmasters in the Myriad Phenomena Realm and Gurus in the Hollow Void Stage, who harbored deep hatred for the Yinyang Sect, if her whereabouts were uncovered, her end would certainly be dire.

Yet, for Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi still took the risk to come. She didn’t wait until the Daqian withdrew from Qingzhou because she was worried that the Canghai Sect would follow the retreat to the Mid Six Province.

“Jiang Baiye, Jiang Baiye, how good I’ve been to you,” she mused to herself while flying.

The general situation was now set. After the Daqian retreated, they would fortify the Mid Six Province and wait for an opportunity. The Yinyang Sect would directly swallow up Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou, and then seek chances to encroach upon the Mid Six Province.

The Canghai Sect had significant conflicts with the Yinyang Sect and was unlikely to accept their rule, more likely to retreat to the Mid Six Province. Jiang Baiye would also be in the Mid Six Province.

By then, the Mid Six Province would gather a large number of powerful individuals from the Daqian, each bearing a profound hatred for the Yinyang Sect. Dare not Yun Miaoyi invade again to find Jiang Baiye.

Now was the best chance. As long as she found Jiang Baiye, she was confident she could coax him away, convincing Jiang Baiye to return with her to the Yinyang Sect.
