Chapter 333 -204: Decree to the Armies of Nine Nations to Enter Jiuhe
“`
As the Daoist’s voice fell, the entire hall immediately fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
They all knew something major was happening, but they hadn’t expected it to be such a big affair.
Chen Qing rose and walked towards the palace wall at the left side of the hall, which displayed a map of the Death Realm.
Thanks to Chen Qing’s background with the Jiguang Sect, he was given a map of the Death Realm.
Outside, thunder tore through the sky, and torrential rain poured down, making the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.
On the map, a great river vertically crossed the entire map, which was the famous White Bone River.
At its end was the Death Sea, where everything would sink.
To the east was the main power of Da Yan, and to the north, perennial snow-capped mountains and the foundation of Kunlun, rarely visited by anyone.
The northwest was where the Demon Clan was entrenched, while the Extreme West was the West Desert Buddhist sect.
On the southern side near the Death Sea, the lands on both sides of the river had long been the territory of the Jiguang Sect.
Chen Qing instructed, “List the fallen cities, in the order they fell.”
The Daoist struggled to turn his body, looked at the map, and began with the first city, Qian Deng, “Qian Deng, then Fei Xiang, Teng Yuan…”
Chen Qing listened to the names of these fallen cities and frowned slightly, “Ji Dang has actually found a way to secretly infiltrate, attacking the cities and docks located behind the Jiguang Sect each time.”
“Such cities, thinking they aren’t on the front lines, must have lax defenses.”
“And after, they turn the frontline cities into isolated fortresses!”
Wang Yuan said, “This is the best tactic my senior brother employs, striking at the snake’s seven inches.”
“Cities, winding like a snake, strike first at the seven inches, sever the communication between the head and body, then slowly take the head.”
“It only takes capturing one city to be equivalent to conquering two!”
Chen Qing asked, “So, by this reckoning, your senior brother should have reached the Death Realm as well?”
Wang Yuan clasped his hands together, “He’s already gone.”
Chen Qing looked at the map and said, “The Jiguang Sect controls a total of thirty-five cities, now thirteen have fallen. Xu Yaofeng originally had only seventeen, and after Ji Dang’s surprise attack, only nine lonely ones remain.”
“Conversely, Shang Tong has only lost five cities.”
Chen Qing came before the Daoist and asked closely, “Are you under Xu Yaofeng or Shang Tong?”
The Daoist replied, “Of course, under Commander Xu!”
Chen Qing waved his hand, “Escort this elder down to heal.”
He returned to his seat, “Having heard the news now, speak out your views.”
Su Yi cupped his hands and said, “I suggest thoroughly verifying the authenticity of the news.”
“Before this, we can first inform all the Generals Wei to be ready for an expedition.”
Chen Qing nodded slightly, “Sound enough.”

Qing Ran added, “I will quickly ascertain Da Yan’s movements. If they really open the Ghost Gate to enter the Death Realm, then the news is true.”
Chen Qing praised, “That shows some insight.”
Wei Qingchen cupped his hands and said, “I will prepare everything needed to open the Ghost Gate, just waiting for Lord Wei’s order.”
Chen Qing nodded with satisfaction, “Go to your tasks.”
Although the news had been obtained, it might not be false.
The news that Ji Dang entered the Death Realm had been spreading for years, always false, and this time might not be true either.
Preparing more in the outside world for a year strengthens our power a bit.
If deceived into entering, it might become an awkward situation.
Chen Qing was rather relaxed about confirming the news’s authenticity, waiting for the gathering on the fifteenth would easily reveal the truth.
Xu Yaofeng suffered a heavy defeat without a reason to be unaware.
After three days passed, on the evening of the fifteenth, Chen Qing donned the bronze ghost mask, preparing to attend the evening gathering.
On the Cloud Platform, Chen Qing reappeared in his position, the other three were punctual, but Xu Yaofeng was late.
Xu Yaofeng’s tardiness made Chen Qing realize that something might indeed have changed.
After waiting for half an hour, Xu Yaofeng finally arrived late.
“Elder, sorry for being late.”
Chen Qing gently shook his head, unconcerned, “No matter, time may be very precious to you, but to me, it’s irrelevant.”
After a brief greeting, they immediately began to chat.
Currently, the Gu of the four had basically been raised to the extreme, Ji Ru and the others were pondering how to elevate their Light Butterfly to King Grade.
This was also why Chen Qing had been invited earlier to help Ji Ru find the location of buried treasures and search for a King Grade River Gu.
Seeing Xu Yaofeng’s first lateness, Ji Ru knew Xu Yaofeng was in quite a critical situation now, so she said, “Yao Feng, if there’s anything, speak out quickly.”
Xu Yaofeng wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead, “Ji Dang has entered the Death Realm.”
“In seventeen days, he has captured thirteen cities and docks under the Jiguang Sect.”
“Also, don’t be frightened by his combat effectiveness—it’s not that exaggerated.”
“Shang Tong suddenly stationed troops near the Death Sea and Fengdu, which made me wary, so I gathered a lot of troops there.”
“The frontline was empty, and Ji Dang seized the moment.”
Chen Qing thought inwardly, could it be that Shang Tong has already betrayed?
Aligned with Da Yan?
In this way, it is quite tricky.
Xu Yaofeng asked, “What does Taiyi say?”
Ji Ru said gently, “Taiyi can enter the Death Realm at any time. He should have received the news now, but he needs one or two months to gather a large army in Jiuhe City.”
Xu Yaofeng said, “Now that Ji Dang has combined forces with an ancient dragon, plus Shang Tong might very well rebel, the situation is grim.”
