The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496: One Man Takes the City

The people in the Great Hall all looked at Saint Master Jing Yan.

”Saint Master, do you have any specific ideas?” asked Zu Qi Mountain Master.

”To go to war with the Wanbao Divine Hall, relying solely on the current strength of our All Paths Sacred Land is insufficient. We need more and stronger forces, recruit more loose cultivators to join us. I have some ideas now that we can use top-level Divine Pills to attract many powerful loose cultivators to fight for us. This is the fastest way,” Jing Yan said.

The current strength of the All Paths Sacred Land is indeed not enough to destroy the Wanbao Divine Hall. If both sides engage in a full-scale battle, it is likely to result in mutual destruction, a situation that Jing Yan does not wish to see with the All Paths Sacred Land severely wounded.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, everyone nodded slightly. What Saint Master Jing Yan said is indeed a feasible way. The Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill of Saint Master Jing Yan’s kind, even the Wanbao Divine Hall does not have, can be said to be unique in the world. Moreover, such pills have unparalleled appeal to God Lords at the Emperor and Divine Sovereign levels. Using such pills to rally more loose cultivator experts to join the battle is indeed possible.

”We need to first take down Star Tower City. Star Tower City has been occupied by the Wanbao Divine Hall for a long time now. If we can take down Star Tower City, it will be a great boost for our All Paths Sacred Land,” Jing Yan continued.

”Saint Master, it is not easy to take down Star Tower City. The All Paths Sacred Land will surely focus on protecting Star Tower City. Currently, there are already two God Lord level Divine Sovereigns within Star Tower City. Once we send a large force towards Star Tower City, the Wanbao Divine Hall will definitely dispatch more powerful individuals to go there,” Master Ma Zhi shook his head.

”I have considered this point.”

”Therefore, we must take them by surprise and capture Star Tower City before the Wanbao Divine Hall can react,” Jing Yan squinted and said.

”Leave the capture of Star Tower City to me,” Jing Yan said casually.

”What?”

”Saint Master, what do you mean?” Everyone was stunned and looked at Jing Yan.

”It’s just as you understand it. Star Tower City, I will take it down by myself,” Jing Yan’s eyes flickered, and he continued, ”Elder Chuo Yan, once I’ve taken down Star Tower City, I will immediately send you a message. Then, you bring people to Star Tower City to guard it. Once Star Tower City is taken, it absolutely cannot be recaptured by Wanbao Divine Hall.”

”Saint Master Jing Yan, you plan to capture Star Tower City by yourself?” Elder Chuo Yan also looked at Jing Yan with some shock.

Jing Yan going to Star Tower City alone could indeed catch them off guard. The Wanbao Divine Hall would find it difficult to trace Jing Yan’s whereabouts, but how can one person take down Star Tower City? Even experts at the Divine Emperor level could not do it. Even if Chuo Yan and Chui Feng, both Divine Emperors, took action, they might not be able to take it down.

This is because if they cannot quickly break Star Tower City, reinforcements from Wanbao Divine Hall will arrive.

”You don’t need to worry about this. I have my plans, and it’s not a big deal,” Jing Yan said confidently.

”Once we regain control of Star Tower City, it will instill stronger confidence in countless martial artists in All Paths World. Those first-rate forces will also reassess the strength of our All Paths Sacred Land and the Wanbao Divine Hall. We need to avoid those first-rate forces turning towards the Wanbao Divine Hall as much as possible.”

”The True Yang Sect is beyond saving, but there should still be opportunities with the other first-rate forces. At the very least, it’s impossible for all these first-rate forces to have already turned to the Wanbao Divine Hall,” Jing Yan turned his eyes and said in a solemn voice.

”Elder Su He, come in!” Jing Yan called out to the outside of the hall.

Elder Su He, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in upon hearing Jing Yan’s call.

”Elder Su He, quickly prepare to send a challenge letter to the Wanbao Divine Hall and spread the news of our declaration of war with the Wanbao Divine Hall throughout All Paths World as quickly as possible,” Jing Yan instructed Elder Su He.

”Yes!” Elder Su He responded excitedly.

”Mountain Masters, for now, just stay at All Paths Spirit Mountain and wait for my news,” Jing Yan said, looking at the mountain masters of the four branches.

With that, Jing Yan flickered and left All Paths Holy Hall.

The people in the Great Hall looked at each other.

”Elder Chui Feng, are we just supposed to wait like this? Will the Saint Master face any danger going to Star Tower City alone? Shouldn’t we send someone to follow the Saint Master to Star Tower City?” asked Master Ma Zhi of East Branch Spirit Mountain, looking at Chuifeng Supreme Elder.

Chui Feng’s expression was solemn, but after some thought, he shook his head.

”Since the Saint Master has decided to go to Star Tower City alone, there must be a reason,” Chui Feng said slowly. ”If we recklessly send more people to follow, it will likely be detected by the Wanbao Divine Hall, which could affect the Saint Master’s plan.”

”Elder Chui Feng is right,” Elder Chuo Yan also said. ”Saint Master Jing Yan possesses the Ultimate Nihility Domain, and even if he encounters Divine Emperor level experts, he has some self-protection capability. Since he asked us to wait here for news, we’ll just wait.”

”Moreover, given Saint Master Jing Yan’s speed, if everything goes smoothly, we won’t have to wait long for news. So, what we need to do now is be ready to head to Star Tower City and defend it at any time,” Elder Chuo Yan continued.

Everyone nodded.

...

Star Tower City!

This city, known by everyone in All Paths World, was once the most important city in All Paths Sacred Land. However, after the split of the All Paths Sacred Land, it was forcibly taken over by the Wanbao Divine Hall.

The Quenching God Star Tower is also controlled by the Wanbao Divine Hall, which uses it to extract vast resources from the God Lords who wish to temper their Divine Soul Bodies there.

Inside the City Lord Mansion of Star Tower City.

Weng Pavilion Master of Wanbao Divine Hall’s Yellow Pavilion has been stationed here for over a thousand years. Since over a thousand years ago when the Wanbao Divine Hall’s Heaven Pavilion Elder You Ying Emperor was killed by Jing Yan in Star Tower Square, Wanbao Divine Hall has strengthened the defense of Star Tower City. From that time onwards, Weng Pavilion Master has been stationed in Star Tower City.

With this Divine Sovereign expert in charge, Star Tower City is as solid as a steel wall. Even if the army of All Paths Sacred Land attacks, Star Tower City can hold on until reinforcements from the Wanbao Divine Hall arrive.

At this time, Weng Pavilion Master, a Divine Sovereign of the Yellow Pavilion, was drinking with the Sect Master of the True Yang Sect, Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan has been residing in Star Tower City for years after killing the Supreme Elder Ruo Bing of the All Paths Sacred Land and hasn’t left Star Tower City since.

”Weng Pavilion Master, I toast to you!” Zhuang Yan said with a slightly flushed face, raising his wine cup.

”Come, let’s drink!” Weng Pavilion Master said, raising his cup and drinking heartily.

Recently, Weng Pavilion Master and Zhuang Yan have been very carefree. They have both received many rewards from the Hall Master for their exploits in killing the Supreme Elder of All Paths Sacred Land.

”Speaking of which, our plan back then was a bit unfortunate. Failing to kill Jing Yan was just the kid’s good luck,” Zhuang Yan said with a look of regret.
