Chapter 719 - War Begins
The war preparation atmosphere in Great Havenlaw Domain grew to the limit within a few days. There were countless streaks of light that endlessly flew in the sky of the Greatlaw Sky on a daily basis as the torrential fighting intent soared throughout the horizon.
In a place like the Greatlaw Continent, where disputes were endless, war was very common. Speaking from a certain angle, there wasn’t any separation of righteousness and evil, it was just the strong preys on the weak, the jungle law.
When the Greatlaw Sky was in hibernation, the Hundred Battles Domain initiated wars several times, raiding the cities of the Great Havenlaw Domain and recklessly plundered them. Today, the Great Havenlaw Domain was just paying them back.
Nine Nether Palace
In the hall where many of the higher hierarchy of the Nine Nether Palace gathered, spiritual light gathered on the stone platform, forming into a complicated map made of Spiritual Energy.
“Now that the King forces of our Great Havenlaw Domain have already been dispatched, the other subsidiary forces are also gathering their forces.” Nine Nether said as she looked at the complicated map.
“The Hundred Battles Domain must have sensed the major movements in the Great Havenlaw Domain, right?” Mu Chen said, also looking at the map.
Nine Nether gently nodded her head. “Sensing alone is nothing, a war of this scale can’t be changed by just merely sensing anything.”
Mu Chen nodded his head. The strength of the Great Havenlaw Domain was placed here. No matter what precautions the other party had prepared, when directly suppressing them with absolute strength, any schemes were just decorations.
“Then, what about the attacking route of our Nine Nether Palace?” Tang Bing asked from the side.
Nine Nether slightly narrowed her slender eyes as her slender finger pointed at the southwest of the map, stopping on a red dot. At the side of the red dot, there were three striking bloody words.
Demonic Lightning Sect!
“Demonic Lightning Sect?” Tang Bing, Tang Rou and the rest standing around cried out in surprise. Shortly after, Qiu Shan carefully said, “Palace Lord, this Demonic Lightning Sect has a high reputation in the Hundred Battles Domain. The Sect Master, Qin Tiangang’s strength has also reached Fifth Grade Sovereign long ago. Isn’t it unwise to set them as our target?”
In such a war, plundering was attached with most importance. And plundering was the easiest to start with. But clearly, this Demonic Lightning Sect wasn’t among the list of easy opponents.
“Great risk comes with great harvest.” Nine Nether lightly smiled, “This Demonic Lightning Sect’s actions have been overbearing in the recent years, assaulting the territories of our Great Havenlaw Domain several times. God-knows how much Sovereign Celestial Liquids they have seized from us. This time, we'll take it all back from them.”
“As for Qin Tiangang, I will personally deal with him.”
Qiu Shan and the rest exchanged looks. However, seeing as Nine Nether had made her decision, they could only respectfully acknowledge it. Since Nine Nether was so confident, there was nothing for them to fear. Furthermore, the Great Havenlaw Domain was going to completely move out, so the Demonic Lightning Sect might not dare to face their sharpness head-on.
“All of you make your preparations, our Nine Nether Palace will move out tomorrow!”
“Yes!”
Qiu Shan and the rest agreed as they dispersed.
Mu Chen waited until everyone left, before looking at Nine Nether and asked in puzzlement, “Why did you choose the Demonic Lightning Sect?”
Although Nine Nether had already explained her reason, that reason was certainly undependable through his understanding of Nine Nether.
Hearing his question, Nine Nether cast a glance at Mu Chen. “That is only part of the reason. The main reason is that there’s a Demonic Lightning Pool in the Demonic Lightning Sect. Rumour has it that there’s a Dipper Lightning in the depth of the Demonic Lightning Pool that originates from the depths of the earth. It’s called Demonic Earth Lightning. And in the location that the Demonic Earth Lightning is gathered, there’s an even more powerful lightning energy which we call… Nether Demon Heart Lightning.”
“Nether Demon Heart Lightning?” Mu Chen was stunned.
“It is an extremely unusual lightning energy, even more terrifying than the Divine Black Demonic Lightning. The criteria for it to be born is extremely harsh, so even I cannot guarantee whether it exists in the Demonic Lightning Pool.”
“You want it?” Mu Chen stared at Nine Nether after he seemed to have figured something out.
“Correct, you need it to cultivate the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art. With the lightning energy from your Lightning God’s Physique, it’s insufficient for you to train the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art into a great success. So you need another special lightning energy and this Nether Demon Heart Lightning is a perfect choice. Because, from a certain angle, it can be comparable to the Undying Flames.” Nine Nether said seriously.
Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether in a daze as a dense feeling poured out from his eyes. He never thought that the reason why Nine Nether chose the Demonic Lightning Sect was for his sake.
“Okay, don’t be like this. What I said earlier wasn’t wrong as well. Only great risk comes with great harvest. If we can deal with the Demonic Lightning Sect, our harvest will far exceed your imagination, and this is what the Nine Nether Palace needs right now. If we want to strengthen our Nine Nether Palace, then we will need a great amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”
Nine Nether patted her hand onto Mu Chen’s shoulder. “Furthermore, if we don’t act first, we might not have the chance to do so in the future.”
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. This wasn’t the right time to be refusing. Since this matter greatly benefited the Nine Nether Palace as well, then he would definitely give it his best for it.
“Since that’s the case, then let this Demonic Lightning Sect take care of our expenses.”
…
When the next day arrived, the fighting intent that had been boiling in the Greatlaw Sky for days had finally reached the limit. On the horizon, there was a large amount of silhouettes flying from every direction, looking like patches of clouds as they constantly flew towards the direction of Greatlaw Sky’s Teleportation Spiritual Array.
Evidently, the war had started at this moment.
The various Kings had also started to act, such an Expedition War was the best opportunity for them to seize resources and strengthen themselves. But this time, the Domain Ruler had already said that any items seized in this war wouldn’t have to be submitted, which undoubtedly made the various Kings’ eyes grow even redder.
When countless figures were flashing across the horizon, Nine Nether was donned in black armour as she stood before the Nine Nether Palace. Her long hair was casually fluttering in the wind, making her look valiant. Her pair of slender legs was revealing a soul-sucking charm at this moment.
Her gaze strictly swept at the Nine Nether Troop that was like a patch of black clouds. She did not speak a single word, before she abruptly waved her hand down, “Nine Nether Troop, go!”
“Yes!”
An orderly thunderous bark rang out in an instant. Nine Nether, Mu Chen and Tang Bing flew out first, turning into streaks of light across the horizon, before a big patch of black clouds followed closely behind them along with torrential fighting intent.
…
Southwest of the Great Havenlaw Domain, Southlaw City
Southlaw City sat at the border of the Great Havenlaw Domain. When Mu Chen lead the Nine Nether Troop through the Teleportation Spiritual Array and appeared in this place, the entire city was in chaos.
Smoke rose in the city as the occasional streaks of light flew across the horizon. That chaotic scene was clearly much more desolate than those bustling cities in the inner regions.
When some of the guards in the city saw the arrival of the Nine Nether Troop, a streak of light flew over from the city and took the form of a silhouette.
“This subordinate, Southlaw City’s City Lord, Ji Fan greets Lord Nine Nether!” It was a middle-aged man that came over as he cupped his fist respectfully towards Nine Nether. Because there had been many troops rushing over from the Great Havenlaw Domain these days, he wasn’t surprised by the appearance of the Nine Nether Troop.
Nine Nether lightly nodded her head. “How’s the situation of this region?”
“Initially, the Hundred Battles Domain has been continuously launching assaults over. But after Lord Domain Ruler announced the Expedition War, the Hundred Battles Domain retreated. Right now, our men are currently launching assaults, so the conflicts are endless for both parties around myriads of miles from here.” Ji Fan said respectfully.
“But a few thousand miles towards the southwest is the territory of the Demonic Lightning Sect. So we do not dare to go too deep.”
With the Demonic Lightning Sect’s strength, it was sufficient to be on par with the King forces of the Great Havenlaw Domain. If there wasn’t any King that acted, the other subsidiary forces of the Great Havenlaw Domain naturally wouldn’t dare to provoke the Demonic Lightning Sect.
“Pass down my orders. Everyone in this region is to gather towards the Demonic Lightning Sect.” Nine Nether faintly said.
Ji Fan was startled as he cautiously asked, “Lord wants to attack the Demonic Lightning Sect? Qin Tiangang isn’t someone easy to deal with.”
“Go, I will personally deal with Qin Tiangang.” Nine Nether waved her hand with an unquestionable tone.
“Yes!”
Ji Fan no longer dared to speak anymore and immediately cupped his fists in response, before flying down from the sky, and entering the City Lord Mansion. He used a special transmitting channel to spread the news.
“Go!”
Nine Nether was swift and decisive. She did not drag, even the slightest. She turned around and flew towards the southwest direction with the Nine Nether Troop following her with torrential bloodlust.
Countless gazes were directed at the silhouettes of the Nine Nether Troop from the city with curiosity in their eyes. Judging from the looks of it, the Nine Nether Palace seemed to be going after the Demonic Lightning Sect. If the two colossal forces were to fight, it would definitely be a disaster. But no one knew if the Nine Nether Palace, whose reputation had been soaring in the Great Havenlaw Domain recently, could defeat the Demonic Lightning Sect, whose reputation had been spread widely in the Hundred Battles Domain.
This was a battle that others would look forward to.
