Guan Yue also explained, "I have seen Lu Ziang, Fang Bulian, Helian Jiaolan, and others at the Mu Family. I am not sure if there are any connections with the Mu Family, Underground Alliance, Holy Alliance, or Great Wilderness Beast. Please investigate this matter quickly."
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor then asked Futian Shangren, "Can the formation you set up block the attacks of the Little Ancestor Saint?"
Futian smiled wryly and replied, "On my own, it won't work. However, if I have the support of the Little Ancestor Saint, then it can."
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor immediately agreed, "Let Ruyi Girl enhance your formation; that should be sufficient, right?"
Futian was overjoyed and said, "If Senior Satisfaction provides support, then we can handle the Great Deity's attack." Through their conversation, Futian Shangren had already realized the identities of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and Ruyi Girl.
Futian Shangren's words made Dream Spin and others feel it was too ambitious. Could he really achieve that?
Only Angered Heaven and Lan Xuelei fully believed Futian's words because they had witnessed Futian's astonishing abilities!
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor laughed heartily and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's capture them all at once. However, that Great Wilderness Beast is still a problem; none of us are its match."
Angered Heaven interjected, "Our Little Ancestor Saint and first-tier Beast should also bring out their treasures. At times like this, we all have to fight with everything we've got."
The three Grand Elders of the Dawson Empire also expressed that they could bring out their family treasures.
Guan Yue secretly showed the Wind Thunder Cauldron to the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and asked if it could withstand the Great Wilderness Beast. Upon seeing it, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor burst into laughter and said, "With this thing in hand, even if it doesn't turn bright red, it will still shed some skin. This is a rare treasure encountered once in a millennium!"
Seeing the greedy look on the Western Celestial Law Ancestor's face, Guan Yue hurriedly said, "This is a treasure given to me by Sea God Badalin to enter Upper Space; you must not covet it."
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor sighed and said, "If I had this thing in Upper Space, I could do quite well."
He turned to Ruyi Girl and said, "You should use this tomorrow. Even if those Great Deities come, they will be helpless against it."
"With it, I won't let Molang down. Moreover, I will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Great Wilderness Beast," Ruyi Girl said with a smile on her face; clearly, she was very fond of the Wind Thunder Cauldron.
"Then let's head to Heavenly Altar now to complete our preparations."
With a single command from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, everyone flew towards the Heavenly Altar.
All members of Guan Yue's Seventh Special Operations Team and five hundred Death Guards also participated in the defense efforts.
Meanwhile, the Little Ancestor Saint and the Beasts, including Ruyi Girl, were assisting Futian Shangren in setting up the formation.
Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia were responsible for managing personnel entry and exit, identification of individuals, ensuring the safety of attendees, and handling special situations.
Guan Yue gathered Gao Yuxin, Guan Tian, Lan Xuelei, Ouyang Shaohua, Mo Huatian, Lat's Hand, and Jin Xi to discuss how to deal with unexpected situations.
Under the unified command of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, all tasks were finally being implemented effectively.
As dawn broke, many people arrived outside the venue, eager to secure good spots to watch the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Following them were three official observation teams from the Vast Empire, Dawson Empire, and Southern Source Empire, each consisting of ten thousand people who entered the venue. Around eight in the morning, a tide of people surged in, gradually filling the entire prepared venue.
A special area was reserved for Senior Cultivators; all Disciples above the Miraculous Realm had to enter this zone. Otherwise, they would not be allowed entry.
Guan Yue quickly detected many familiar faces entering the venue using his Divine Sense: Zihongfang, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Huangfu Jiayun, Lu Ziang, Fang Bulian, Helian Jiaolan, Du Diwei, Miao Fang, Huangfu Qingkong, Du Pengyang, Shawnee, Jiang Ming, Gongxi Wang, Nangong Kanghong, Ping Qing, Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, Little Red Fish, Fiskaya, Georgina, Lu Xiao, Li Xiaohui, Yun Yi, and others.
Upon seeing Huangfu Qingkong, Guan Yue felt a surge of excitement; he considered him a true friend. This friendship should be maintained. As for Fire Red Girl Hu Hui and Little Red Fish, they needed to learn a lesson. Although Regretless Sage was performing well now, these two girls had wronged him and caused great harm to his father. Guan Yue felt it was unjust not to punish them!
Suddenly, Guan Yue noticed many Eternal Realm Cultivators arriving as well as a large number of Eternal Realm Disciples; other realms' Disciples were not on his radar.
Just as the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was about to begin, Guan Yue sensed nearly ten extremely strong Vital Energy Fluctuations and immediately realized that Little Ancestor Saint and the Great Deities had arrived.
Heh heh, these guys really think highly of us; quite a few have come.
Since this Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was held under the name of the Enemy Command Center, it was presided over by Huangfu Jiayin.
When Huangfu Jiayin announced the commencement of the ceremony, all participants stood up. A massive orchestra began to play sacred music that resonated through the skies as if proclaiming to the world that a grand ceremony had officially begun.
Then Angered Heaven ascended to a high podium to read aloud the proclamation of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony to all people.
"Heaven's Mandate, the will of the people, the foundation of unity, eternal and unyielding. Heaven and Earth must unite, only I hold the grand design."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue realized that what Angered Heaven was saying was entirely about legitimacy; they claimed to be the rightful rulers of Yongning Continent, acting in accordance with Heaven's Will and gaining the people's hearts, and their rhetoric became increasingly profound. After listening for a while to Angry Sky Senior Brother's proclamation, Guan Yue stopped paying attention.
He merely noted that the Western Celestial Law Ancestor held the Origin Tool, while Ruyi Girl wielded the Wind Thunder Cauldron. Both stood in mid-air with stern expressions, ready to strike at any moment. Seeing how well-matched they were, Guan Yue couldn't help but smile. He felt very proud of the new image he had chosen for the Western Celestial Law Ancestor; it seemed that the Western Celestial Law Ancestor appeared quite majestic.
Lat's Hand, Jin Xi, Wukong God, and Mo Huatian stood guard at the four corners. Lan Xuelei's avatar and Guan Tian had already ascended to the Heavenly Altar, waiting for Angered Heaven to finish reading the heavenly decree to announce it to all people before they would immediately begin assembling the Mother of Heaven and Earth.
Angered Heaven's voice was loud and penetrating, allowing nearly a million spectators present to hear every word clearly.
"Heaven and Earth are vast and primordial; my heart is uplifted. What has been divided must unite; it is the trend of the times. Mother of Heaven and Earth, only preserve the three constants, govern wisely, and await promotion. Based on this, we shall expand outward, achieving eternal peace under my light."
As Angered Heaven's speech neared its conclusion, all security personnel on-site began to feel tense.
Sure enough, just as Angered Heaven finished speaking, a voice emerged from the expert area: "Angered Heaven, you speak nonsense. We of the Holy Alliance are the true rulers of Yongning Continent. You think six Little Ancestor Saints and a few Beasts can dominate Yongning Continent? How arrogant!"
Guan Yue used Divine Sense to look over; this was a peak Eternal Realm Disciple in black attire whose Combat Power should be comparable to Ouyang Shaohua's—not too strong but not too weak either.
As soon as he finished speaking, another peak Eternal Realm Disciple in a Long Robe also chimed in. His voice was equally loud and could be heard throughout every corner of the venue: "In Yongning Continent for thousands of years, who has ever seen a Great Power stronger than a Great Deity? You only know about Great Deities? Ha! My master is a Celestial Master who is a hundred times more powerful than any Great Deity! He is truly the strongest in Yongning Continent and its rightful ruler."
"Preposterous! Our Enemy Command Center's legitimacy is beyond question!" Angered Heaven shouted angrily from the podium at both men.
Huangfu Jiayin immediately took over the conversation: "May I ask Holy Alliance and Celestial Master what you are doing while we are fighting against Ancient Tomb Sect's infringement on Yongning Continent? Are you not aiding our enemies?"
Huangfu Jiayin's question left both men who had just spoken speechless and momentarily silenced.
At this moment, a Disciple standing next to the black Disciple spoke up: "Ancient Tomb Sect is also part of our Yongning Continent. The conflict between you and them is merely an internal struggle within Yongning Continent. As rulers of Yongning Continent, we certainly will not take sides or fight amongst ourselves; otherwise, it would be unfair."
Huangfu Jiayin retorted angrily: "You fail to distinguish right from wrong or black from white; how can you remain indifferent to Ancient Tomb Sect's cruel and immoral actions against women while still claiming to lead Yongning Continent?"
The crowd attending the ceremony shouted together, "Get out, get out."
"Eliminate the Ancient Tomb Sect, no Holy Alliance."
At this moment, the disciple in the Long Robe from the peak of the Eternal Realm spoke again: "The Holy Alliance has made no contributions in combating the Ancient Tomb Sect, but we Celestial Masters have always been on the front lines fighting against the Ancient Tomb Sect, killing countless evil members of the Ancient Tomb Sect. We have established an unparalleled merit for the billions of people in Yongning Continent."
Huangfu Jiayin laughed in anger: "May I ask, how many of the ten Little Ancestor Saints from the Ancient Tomb Sect have your Celestial Masters eliminated?"
"Well, that guy was so afraid of Master Lingdongxiao's reputation that he fled far away, so there were none," replied the disciple in the Long Robe, stumbling over his words.
"Since even the Little Ancestor Saints fear your master, do not those Eternal Realm and Wonderland Practitioners fear him as well? They must have fled at the first sign," Huangfu Jiayin praised.
"Of course! Just think about it, who would dare to oppose us Celestial Masters? Hahaha." The disciple in the Long Robe was extremely pleased with himself.
Huangfu Jiayin immediately questioned, "Then may I ask: your Celestial Master hasn’t slaughtered a large number of ordinary citizens, has he?"
The disciple in the Long Robe did not expect Huangfu Jiayin to have this question waiting for him. He was momentarily speechless and stammered, "No, no, the Celestial Master only kills Disciples."
"Then may I ask, didn't you just say that your Celestial Master is a hundred times stronger than a Great Deity? How come he can't even kill an Ancient Tomb Sect Little Ancestor Saint or an Eternal Realm Cultivator?" Huangfu Jiayin continued to counter him.
The disciple in the Long Robe truly did not expect Huangfu Jiayin to be so sharp-tongued and eloquent.
"May I ask, does your Celestial Master really care about the lives of the people in Yongning Continent? Has he truly done his best?" Huangfu Jiayin pressed on. Since her voice could be heard throughout the venue, every word she spoke was met with countless voices echoing her sentiments and mocking that disciple.
