As Baiye Emperor finished speaking, both the Great Sword Sect Master and the Hundred Flowers Alliance nodded in agreement.
That's true; they really need to prepare properly.
at the same time.
Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi have already quickly returned to the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association and begun making arrangements.
Not only that, they quickly issued a summons, gathering all the powerful members of the merchant guilds who were abroad.
The imperial city's ban only prohibits leaving, but does not restrict entering.
Moreover, now that Caesar Palace has agreed to the holy war, it's impossible for them to escape even if they wanted to.
In this situation, there is only one battle. If they dare to flee, even without the intervention of other forces, that powerful figure from the Caesar Palace will personally annihilate them.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
"The highest level of holy war is only three against one, and now it has fallen on the shoulders of my Thousand Leaves Merchant Association. It's simply outrageous."
Inside the main hall, Gai Wudi's face was gloomy, and he roared repeatedly.
This is really too much of a bullying.
In a one-on-one situation, even if the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association suffers heavy losses, they can still put up a fight.
If we seize the opportunity, we might even win.
But if it's three against one, then there's absolutely no chance of winning.
The Chiba Chamber of Commerce had already suffered heavy losses, and was no match for the three major powers. Now that the three major powers had joined forces, the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association had absolutely no chance of survival.
Then we'll see how many powerful figures the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association can kill, how many resources they can seize, and how many people can survive.
Half-Emperor Qianye, his face equally cold, said in a low voice:
"There's no other way. In this incident, several Saint Realm from various forces perished, and that's the root cause of everything. That Xuan Ye is the real mastermind behind this event."
"I don't hate the three major powers right now, nor do I hate Lord Caesar Palace. I'm just wondering what that Xuan Ye is trying to do?"
"What is his purpose in orchestrating all this, and who exactly is he?"
"Was all of this truly just a coincidence, or was someone secretly orchestrating and obstructing things?"
Half-Emperor Qianye was equally puzzled.
He no longer hates anyone else, only Xuan Ye.
Unfortunately, he had no idea who Xuan Ye was, or even if this person actually existed, which was truly laughable.
It's unknown whether Xuan Ye will emerge and participate in this holy war.
If he dares to get involved, will Elder Feng of the Caesar Palace be able to detect the anomaly and identify this Xuan Ye?
"Hmph, who knows if that Xuan Ye really exists? Maybe he's just a character created by the Caesar Palace."
"In recent years, the powerful figure behind my Thousand Leaves Merchant Association has been declining in cultivation and his position is in jeopardy."
"Perhaps Caesar Palace has long wanted to annex my Thousand Leaves Merchant Association; this is just a shrewd operator."
Upon hearing this, Gai Wudi snorted coldly and spoke.
"Shut up!"
However, he had barely finished speaking when he was reprimanded by Half-Emperor Qianye.
Half-Emperor Qianye said in a deep voice, "Invincible, be careful with your words. Don't Hu Yan without evidence, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself."
Gai Wudi snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Half-Emperor Qianye fell into deep thought.
Could it be that way?
It's not impossible.
However, these are things that really shouldn't be said carelessly.
If they speak recklessly, Elder Feng might overhear them. If they anger Elder Feng Elder Feng he takes action, they will only face certain death.
Without making any wild claims, even if the holy war fails, they will most likely be safe from harm.
Unless, of course, they truly perished in the holy war.
However, the chances of that happening are extremely small.
Three major forces and six Great Emperor Realm, six against two, this is an absolutely overwhelming advantage.
Even if Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi strong and confident, they would never be able to win.
But it's not necessarily true that six people could actually surround and kill the two of them.
If the two were determined to escape, fighting and retreating, the six Great Emperor Realm experts would likely be unable to stop them; at most, they could only plunder the entire Thousand Leaves Merchant Association.
At the same time.
The news that the four major powers were about to start a holy war spread immediately, and in an instant, the entire imperial city was abuzz with excitement.
All the monks were shocked.
Holy War.
It's actually going to start.
Despite many people's speculation, the confirmation still shocked everyone.
The capital city was in an uproar.
Most of the visiting cultivators set off and left the imperial city.
The residents of the imperial city also began to migrate rapidly.
Holy wars are no small matter; every single one has resulted in countless deaths and injuries.
Aside from a few incredibly audacious individuals, and only the true heirs or confidants of the royal family, who would dare to participate personally?
Of course, since the Hundred Leaves Imperial Family is a dynasty, all its citizens are entitled to participate. They can also choose not to participate; they can simply leave.
However, the royal family's direct descendants and confidants, such as the Imperial Guards, were not allowed to escape.
Holy war is not child's play; if everyone runs away, what's the point of fighting?
How does Caesar Palace profit from this?
Restaurant room.
Ye Xuan and Yue Mei also learned of the Holy War.
In an instant, Ye Xuan couldn't help but become excited.
Yue Mei, on the other hand, became even more anxious and somewhat fearful.
" Senior Brother Ye, should we leave?"
Yue Mei was truly panicked, absolutely terrified.
She originally thought that although she was not safe in the capital, at least she was safe in the Hundred Leaves Restaurant.
Few dared to search this place easily, let alone attack it.
But now that the holy war is about to begin, anything can happen.
As a mere Nascent Spirit Transformation, she had absolutely no safety to speak of.
To dare remain in the capital is to court death.
Unless she is invincible among her peers, there is no guarantee of her safety.
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I can't leave, but you can leave now."
As he spoke, he took out a storage ring and tossed it to Yue Mei: "This ring contains a considerable amount of resources, enough for you to cultivate to the Divine Emperor or even the Venerable Realm."
"After the Holy War ends, I will stay in the capital for a month. If you wish to leave then, you can come find me. If not, then take care of yourself."
"When the Holy War ends, the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association will cease to exist. At that time, you should no longer be in danger."
"Of course, whether you can leave the capital safely, or whether you will die on the way, depends on your own fate."
It was a collaboration to begin with, Ye Xuan's willingness to provide some resources was already more than enough.
If Yue Mei cannot survive, then it can only be blamed on her bad luck.
As for the rest, Ye Xuan couldn't care less.
The Holy War has begun, and it's truly dangerous. Yue Mei is no longer fit to remain in the Imperial City.
Ye Xuan couldn't protect her all the time.
Upon hearing this, Yue Mei gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "Take care, Senior Brother."
Having said that, he turned and left.
She knew that if she didn't leave, she would really die soon.
Once the holy war begins, someone like her, an ant, will almost certainly not survive.
It's said to be three against one, but is that really the case?
Does that mean the Great Sword Sect won't attack the Hundred Flowers Alliance?
That's impossible.
Mutual slaughter is permissible under the rules, provided that one does not cross a major boundary.
The reason why Lord Feng of the Caesar Palace gave three days to prepare was not only to give the four major powers time to prepare.
This also gives them time to escape.
Therefore, it is still safe for them to leave the capital within these three days; no one will harm them.
