Waiting Until Everyone Had Fled
"So many races in the Southern Region, and they were unified by a wild brat from out of town in just one month! What use are you bunch of good-for-nothings to me!" the Scarlet Emperor roared, his eyes almost spitting fire.
The black-clad envoy was terrified, repeatedly kowtowing. "Lord Dao, spare our lives! Lord Dao, spare our lives! It's not that we didn't try our best, it's just that Li Yunjing is too powerful! He killed Mo Ying, the patriarch of the Shadow Race, with a single sword strike. All the clans of the Southern Region are terrified of him and dare not resist!"
"Enough!" the Azure Emperor said coldly. "Killing him won't solve the problem. The most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with the current situation."
The White Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Li Yunjing has now unified the Eastern Domain Southern Region, and he has also received help from the God Race."
The God Race possess Innate Spirit Vein and have a profound foundation; they are not to be underestimated. If things continue like this, it won't be long before they unify the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm and then attack us.
The Scarlet Emperor sneered, "So what? We are experts at the Dao Union Perfection, controlling the primordial power of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm. If the three of us join forces, let alone one Li Yunjing, even ten or a hundred of them wouldn't be a match for us."
In my opinion, we should immediately send troops to raze the Eastern Domain Southern Region and tear Li Yunjing to pieces!
"No," the Azure Emperor shook his head and said, "The Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon will take another month to fully charge. We cannot act rashly before then."
"It's the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon again!" the Scarlet Emperor said impatiently. "With the three of us taking action, are we really going to lose to a mere brat in the Dao Union Middle Stage? Why do we have to wait for that broken cannon to finish charging?"
"Scarlet Emperor, calm down," the White Emperor said. "Li Yunjing's growth rate has exceeded our expectations. When he first entered the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm, he was only at the Early Dao Union."
In just a few months, he had already broken through to the Dao Union Middle Stage. Moreover, with the strength of the Dao Union Middle Stage, he was able to kill Mo Ying, who was at the Late Dao Union. His true combat strength absolutely cannot be measured by conventional realm standards.
"Moreover, he is accompanied by the patriarch of the God Race Clan Shen Tian, as well as the Three Kings of the Eastern Domain and the leaders of the hundred clans of the Southern Region. Together, these people are a force to be reckoned with."
"If the three of us rashly leave Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain and are held back by them, causing turmoil in the Primordial Beginning Origin, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The Azure Emperor nodded and said, "The White Emperor is right. The Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon is our greatest trump card. Once the Divine Punishment Cannon is fully charged, one shot will turn the entire Eastern Domain Southern Region into scorched earth."
At that time, Li Yunjing and all his troops will be annihilated. We don't need to take any risks at all."
"But we still have to wait a month!" the Scarlet Emperor said. "Who knows what Li Yunjing will do in this month? What if he unifies the Western Regions and Northern Domain in this month? Then we'll be in even bigger trouble!"
"He won't have a chance," the Azure Emperor said calmly. "The Western Regions have that old monk Wuchen. Although Wuchen has an agreement with us that he will never take action and will never leave the Western Regions."
However, he would absolutely not allow Li Yunjing to easily meddle in the Western Regions. The Northern Domain were frozen year-round, with a harsh environment, and were also protected by the restrictions of the High Antiquity Ice God.
Taking over the Northern Domain will not be an easy task for Li Yunjing.
"Moreover..." A sinister smile curled at the corner of the Azure Emperor's mouth, "We're not doing nothing either. I've already sent people to the Western Regions and Northern Domain to incite the forces there and create trouble for Li Yunjing."
We must slow him down until the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon is fully charged; that will be his death day.
The Scarlet Emperor thought about it and felt that the Azure Emperor's words made sense.
He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll wait another month. A month later, I want to see Li Yunjing turn to ashes under the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon!"
The White Emperor looked at the black-clad envoy and said, "However, we cannot let our guard down. From now on, we must strengthen our reconnaissance in the Eastern Domain Southern Region, closely monitor Li Yunjing's every move, and report to us immediately if there is any disturbance."
"Yes, Lord Dao!" the black-clad envoy hurriedly replied, then, as if granted a pardon, scrambled out of the Primordial Beginning Hall.
Silence fell once again in the main hall.
The gazes of the three Dao Lords were all turned toward the depths of the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain.
There, a massive black turret was slowly charging.
The surface of the turret was covered with countless eerie runes, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.
This is the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon, the last trump card of the three Dao Lords.
One month later, it will unleash a devastating blow, deciding the fate of the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The armies in the Eastern Domain Southern Region have completed their initial reorganization and training.
The strength of the three Daoist soldiers has improved by leaps and bounds, and they now possess formidable combat power.
Li Yunjing no longer needed to worry about anything; he suddenly found himself with free time.
However, Li Yunjing remembered that when he was in Myriad Gu Mountain, a high monk from Heavenly Dragon Temple in the Western Regions invited him to visit Heavenly Dragon Temple.
Now that the Southern Region and Eastern Domain have been pacified, it's time to move on to the Western Regions and Northern Domain.
Why not take this opportunity to visit the Western Regions and see what's going on Western Regions?
With this in mind, Li Yunjing summoned Qingyun and the others and announced his decision.
"Gentlemen, after such a long period of preparation, our army is ready. I plan to make a trip to the Western Regions to visit Heavenly Dragon Temple," Li Yunjing said to the crowd.
"My lord, things are a bit strange in the Western Regions. Do you intend to go there alone?" Upon hearing this, the Golden Wing King immediately asked in surprise.
Li Yunjing nodded. "No, I plan to take Qingyun with me. It's just a visit, so it's not appropriate to bring too many people."
"No, the Western Regions are a mysterious place. If you go there with Qingyun, it might be dangerous," Bi Shui said immediately upon hearing this.
"No need to worry, I have a plan," Li Yunjing said.
Even if there were real danger, Li Yunjing could return to Tianyuan with a thought, so Li Yunjing was not afraid.
Seeing Li Yunjing's determination, the others did not dare to persuade him.
Li Yunjing continued, "Shen Tian, you will remain in the Realm of the Gods, commanding the Southern Region's army and guarding the rear. Bi Shui, you will command the Eastern Domain's regular troops and guard the Eastern Region Holy Temple."
Golden Wing King, Azure Scale King, and Hei Feng, the three of you will lead three detachments of Dao soldiers and accompany me to the Southern Region Holy Temple.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
The crowd responded in unison.
After arranging everything, Li Yunjing, along with the Golden Wing King, the Fairy Hongling, Qingyun, and three thousand Nine Heavens Thunderfire Army, set off first.
Hei Feng and Azure Scale King, leading the Wu Earth Divine Soldiers and the Netherworld Shadow Slayer Army, followed closely behind.
The group flew in a grand procession towards the Southern Region Holy Temple.
The Southern Region Holy Temple is a stronghold established by the Holy Domain in the Southern Region. Like the Eastern Region Holy Temple, it is responsible for supervising the forces in the Southern Region and controlling the inter-domain teleportation array leading to the Western Regions.
According to Li Yunjing's plan, they will first take over the Southern Region Holy Temple, and then enter the Western Regions through the teleportation array.
Half a day later, Li Yunjing and his party arrived at the Southern Region Holy Temple.
However, the scene before them took everyone by surprise.
The gates of the Southern Region Holy Temple were wide open, but the temple was completely empty.
The protective array had long been deactivated, and the entire temple was in a state of chaos, with scattered weapons and broken furniture everywhere.
Clearly, the people here have already fled.
