"Is it really that simple?!"

Duke Qin shouted in anger, unable to control the fury in his heart any longer.

"I don’t care, you three are responsible for this matter!"

Liu Sheng waved his large sleeve, paying no heed to Duke Qin’s furious expression, and directly walked towards the outside of the Imperial City.

"Don’t look at me, I can’t help you, you know that."

Zhan Tian spoke quickly when he saw Duke Qin looking at him.

"Resolve the Stone Cave swiftly, and withdraw the forces. Hidden Kill is not weak, if in the end the Stone Cave isn’t taken and Great Yu falls into chaos, you should understand the consequences."

With that, Zhan Tian immediately left, without giving him the chance to speak.

"Enough!"

"Things are already like this; being angry is of no use!"

Duke Liu looked at his rage-filled expression and spoke to comfort him.

"Do you think those two did it on purpose?"

The anger within Duke Qin’s heart subdued as he asked.

"Hmm... I don’t think so!"

Duke Liu slowly shook his head, "The two of them aren’t like that; they’re loyal to Great Yu, you shouldn’t ask such a question!"

Personal vendettas are personal.

Yet he didn’t believe Liu Sheng and Zhan Tian would ignore Great Yu over personal vendettas.

"Hmm!"

Duke Qin nodded, he did not believe it either.

In Qixuan Hall.

Emperor Yu let out a long sigh and looked at the National Preceptor, "To be honest, did I go too far this time?"

"Honesty?"

"Hmm!"

"Indeed, it was somewhat hasty; this old man knows you wish to step out freely without any hesitation, but Great Yu’s current situation is admittedly a bit rushed."

The National Preceptor, of course, understood what was on his mind.

Was Emperor Yu wrong in doing this?

Not exactly!

After all, this was also considered the best opportunity.

And only like this will his chance be greater, this too was a desperate move.

The final step, extremely risky!

"Should we ask the Hall Master to intervene and deduce the situation?"

"Refused!"

Emperor Yu said, after deciding to open the Stone Cave, he himself went to the Star Hall, but was refused by the Hall Master.

"Can’t blame him, after all, he’s made a move several times, he should be unable to bear it now."

The National Preceptor spoke slowly.

The Hall Master had already deduced several times for Great Yu, enduring Celestial Punishment each time, now his refusal was reasonable.

"Indeed, the Hall Master has done enough for Great Yu."

Emperor Yu was full of admiration for the Hall Master, so even being refused this time, he harbored no resentment at all.

"I entrust the first dangerous land to you, teacher, no matter what, it must be suppressed!"

At this moment, his expression turned solemn for the first time.

"Don’t worry, though I am old, my methods are still intact, the first dangerous land won’t be a problem!"

The National Preceptor’s old eyes were firm, even his avatar could suppress the first dangerous land, such was his power.

...

In the rear courtyard of the Three Judicial Departments, Zhan Tian spoke.

"Isn’t this a bit too much this time?"

Zhan Tian’s expression showed some concern as he looked at Liu Sheng.

"Too much?"

Liu Sheng’s expression was dismissive, "What’s too much? Even so, Your Majesty hasn’t recalled the army, is that normal?"

"Ah!"

Zhan Tian sighed, it seemed just as he had once anticipated, this was indeed the intention behind Your Majesty.

"Moreover, the last time you returned you said you were injured, our avatars were taken by that kid, what could be done?"

"If you go, who will deal with Hidden Kill?"

"Let it be, can only hope the Stone Cave gets resolved soon so the pressure will be much less then."

Liu Sheng spoke calmly.

"Only can do that."

Zhan Tian slightly shook his head, recalling what the Hall Master told him in the Star Hall that day.

It seemed indeed not optimistic.

...

In the Primordial Realm!

Amidst cultivation, Chen Xuan finally received Lang Fei’s Communication Spirit Talisman. After dozens of days, the army had reached Bright Moon Mansion and didn’t stop, directly heading to the Stone Cave.

At marching speed, they’d reach the Stone Cave in two or three days at most.

"Annoying!"

Chen Xuan tossed the Communication Spirit Talisman onto the table beside him unhappily.

It’s hard to estimate how long the great battle would last.

As for the result, he didn’t care; but if it dragged on, the Skill Points he’d lose would be astronomical.

He had already wasted quite a bit of time with the Stone Race before.

"Send an avatar instead?"

This wasn’t a sudden thought; it had been considered for a long time.

Moreover, the avatar’s strength wasn’t weak now, with his jade bone aggregate, the combat power wasn’t inferior to mid-seventh level Dao Realm, even the peak wasn’t far off.

"Should be enough?"

"Enough!"

Chen Xuan asked himself and answered, by then he’d just wait at Bright Moon Mansion; if anything unexpected happened, he could sense it.

Shouldn’t be a big problem.
