Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

——

When Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion.

On the side of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

The fifty million-strong army had completely stepped out of the Nine States, sweeping all directions with the speed of thunder, occupying territories adjoining the Nine States, Shenyuan State, and Guxing State, a total of two states.

One state.

Was equivalent to three thousand six hundred prefectures.

Two states were as many as seven thousand two hundred prefectures.

In such a vast territory, the number of forces was countless, among them were some ancient sects and holy lands, as well as top noble families and dynasties.

Yet.

The Divine Martial Dynasty completely ignored the existence of these forces, marching the army straight in, killing all those who did not submit.

For a time.

The Eastern Domain was shaken.

Many forces felt a sense of imminent peril.

Some forces that were unwilling to submit to the Divine Martial Dynasty even voluntarily united, intending to resist the might of the dynasty's army.

"Reporting to the Military Commander, now the Anti-God Alliance has five hundred and seventy-three forces joined, led by the Ancient Xiao Family!"

In a city just occupied by the Divine Martial Dynasty, a spy from the Divine Martial Imperial Guard came to report, and Gu Sheng'an, looking at the intelligence in his hand, showed a grim look.

"The Ancient Xiao Family… Do we have relevant information!?"

"We do, this is all the information about the Ancient Xiao Family, please have a look, Military Commander!"

The Divine Martial Imperial Guard did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out the prepared jade talisman.

Gu Sheng'an focused his Divine Thought into it, and immediately the relevant information emerged.

The Ancient Xiao Family!

At its peak, it had once produced a strong quasi-Emperor level figure.

Unfortunately.

That quasi-Emperor failed in competing for the Emperor Road with other heaven-defying powerhouses and ultimately became a stepping stone for a newly ascended Great Emperor, dying completely with his Tao dissipated.

Since then.

The Xiao Family gradually declined.

However.

This decline was only relative.

For the Ancient Xiao Family had a profound foundation, even though the quasi-Emperor fell, over the years there were still Great Saints and Saint King Realm powerhouses born.

Now that the Divine Martial Dynasty seeks to dominate the world, with the Ancient Xiao Family within its target range, it naturally would not willingly submit.

But the Ancient Xiao Family also knew clearly that relying on its own strength alone, it could definitely not be the opponent of the Divine Martial Dynasty, so they united with other forces to jointly resist the dynasty's military strength.

"The Ancient Xiao Family truly has some nerve, knowing that Grandpa is an unparalleled powerhouse of this era, yet still dares to obstruct the actions of my Divine Martial Dynasty.

Does he really think that my Divine Martial Dynasty will hesitate because of their numbers, and dare not strike ruthlessly?"

Gu Sheng'an sneered, his eyes filled with disdain for the Ancient Xiao Family.

From the intelligence, it could be seen that the Xiao Family's actions were not only to use the power of many forces to resist the Divine Martial Dynasty but also to use the righteousness of the Human Clan to force the dynasty to retreat.

The Xiao Family released statements, simply meaning that with demon invasions and Evil Spirits causing chaos, it was a time of great tribulation for the Human Clan. If the Divine Martial Dynasty raised a butcher's knife against other humans now, it would undermine internal stability.

If one day, in the war between the two clans, the Human Clan were defeated, then the Divine Martial Dynasty would be the chief culprit.

If it were an ordinary person, they might truly be bound by the Xiao Family's moral stance, and thus have no choice but to retreat.

But unfortunately.

Gu Sheng'an was never someone easily morally constrained, and as for Gu Yang, he was even less likely to be soft-hearted.

Regarding his father, Gu Sheng'an knew him very well.

He never lacked iron-blooded methods.

Otherwise.

The Divine Martial Dynasty would not have been able to become a dynasty from a newly ascended dynasty in less than a hundred years.

To outsiders, the ascension of the Divine Martial Dynasty seemed entirely due to Gu Qingfeng.

But Gu Sheng'an knew, it also involved his father's methods.

Therefore.

The Ancient Xiao Family's plan.

From the start.

They were wrong.

Upon thinking of this.

Gu Sheng'an looked at the person next to him with a few more expressions of respect.

"If the Divine Martial Imperial Guard directly attacks the Ancient Xiao Family, does senior have the confidence to withstand the hidden powerhouses of the Xiao Family?"

Emperor Extreme Great Saint!

This was the trump card left by Gu Yang for Gu Sheng'an.

An ancient powerhouse of the Great Saint Nine Layers Heaven, enough to resolve most variables.

Hearing this, Emperor Extreme Great Saint smiled calmly, "The foundation of the Ancient Xiao Family is indeed remarkable, but that's from ancient times. Up till now, the Xiao Family has experienced several great catastrophes.

Especially tens of thousands of years ago, the Xiao Family offended a young quasi-Emperor, and when that person grew up, he directly assaulted their door.

The Xiao Family, in order to deal with him, awakened three ancient Saint Kings at once, but all were directly slain by him, and even the ancestral land was almost completely destroyed.

Since then, the Xiao Family suffered a great loss of primordial Qi.

Up to now, I estimate that even if the Xiao Family has some foundation left, it would not be much. If they have one or two Great Saints at most, it would be quite impressive!"

Emperor Extreme Great Saint gave this analysis, and in his words, there was not much reverence for such ancient forces as the Xiao Family.

If it were during the prime of the Xiao Family, Emperor Extreme Great Saint would not dare provoke them.

But with a declined Xiao Family.

Emperor Extreme Great Saint had no fear.

After all, his cultivation of the Great Saint Nine Layers Heaven was not to be underestimated.

Moreover.

This time Gu Yang even entrusted the Karma Fire Divine Mirror to him.

With such a quasi-Imperial Weapon in hand, it's not just for decoration. Even if the few ancient fallen Saint Kings of the Xiao Family revived, Emperor Extreme Great Saint had the confidence to confront them.

Any quasi-Imperial Weapon is not just for decoration.

Furthermore.

In Emperor Extreme Great Saint's view, it's impossible for the Xiao Family to have an ancient Saint King alive now.

The battle from tens of thousands of years ago emptied the Xiao Family's only foundation, and how much primordial Qi they could recover over the subsequent tens of thousands of years was questionable.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Sheng'an felt relieved at once.

"With senior's assurance, I am relieved!"

What he feared most was the foundation of the Xiao Family.

But with Emperor Extreme Great Saint's guarantee, Gu Sheng'an naturally had no reason to worry.

Afterwards.

He summoned several high-ranking generals of the Divine Martial Imperial Guard.

"Pass my order, immediately organize the army and directly attack the ancestral land of the Xiao Family three two-hour periods later; in this battle, I want the Ancient Desolate World to have no trace of the Ancient Xiao Family!"

Gu Sheng'an said coldly, directly.

For his orders, many high-ranking generals of the Divine Martial Imperial Guard naturally had no dissent, and several of them cupped their hands to receive the order, then went to prepare.

...

Three two-hour periods later.

Three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards marched magnificently toward the Xiao Family.

Such a large movement.

Was transmitted to the Xiao Family first.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Family Head Xiao Xuan's face changed drastically.

"What is the Divine Martial Dynasty thinking? Do they really intend to destroy my Ancient Xiao Family!!"

Originally, it was believed that integrating over five hundred forces to form the Anti-God Alliance would make the Divine Martial Dynasty hesitant and refrain from taking rash actions.

After all, during this special period, if the Divine Martial Dynasty acted openly, they would inevitably leave themselves open to criticism.

With the righteousness of the clans at the forefront.

Many forces could not help but bow their heads.

Even some ancient noble families and top holy lands had to deliberate repeatedly on these matters.

No other choice.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

With the righteousness of the clans at the forefront, handling it badly could easily backfire.

This was also why Xiao Xuan dared to oppose the Divine Martial Dynasty, even knowing Gu Qingfeng was such a supreme powerhouse.

He was betting!

Betting that the Divine Martial Dynasty would not dare act rashly!

If he could get the Divine Martial Dynasty to retreat, the Xiao Family could also gain a great reputation.

At that time.

The Xiao Family could even use such an opportunity to further develop, potentially restoring the foundation of ancient times.

It could be said.

Xiao Xuan had thought everything out well.

The only thing he could not understand was that the Divine Martial Dynasty indeed dared to make a move.

Regarding the Divine Martial Imperial Guard, Xiao Xuan naturally was no stranger.

The most elite army cards of the Divine Martial Dynasty, though lacking in battle achievements, were not underestimated by Xiao Xuan.

So.

After the shock.

Xiao Xuan immediately took action, ordering all forces of the Anti-God Alliance to prepare for the invasion of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
