Chapter 3455 Just bear with it, and it will pass.

Crimson Feather Immortal Court.

The Crimson Feather Heavenly Emperor Ying Linjun looked grim as he read the message from the cultivators below.

"Heavenly Casting Palace!!"

His voice was low and cold, and the killing intent was almost tangible.

While angry.

Ying Linjun was also somewhat puzzled.

That is, what exactly went wrong with Tianzhu Mansion that it attacked Chiyu Immortal Court for no reason, and with all its forces mobilized?

A short time.

The Crimson Feather Immortal Court lost more than a dozen immortal cities.

In every immortal city that fell, all the cultivators were slaughtered by the Heavenly Forging Palace.

Such methods.

This angered Ying Linjun, and also filled him with a sense of horror.

He was not afraid of the Heavenly Forging Mansion.

However, they had to take into account the Xuan Tian Dao Sect behind the Tianzhu Mansion.

To know.

To be honest, the Crimson Feather Immortal Court had some grudges with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect back then, and the 30,000 Crimson Feather Army was wiped out by the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

At that time, Ying Linjun was unaware that the Xuantian Dao Sect was related to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

But now.

Shen Changqing's identity is no longer a secret.

The Heavenly Demon Saint Lord Shen Hong is actually Shen Changqing, the sect master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Look at it this way.

The feud between the two sides had long been established.

Therefore, when Tianzhu Mansion made its move, Ying Linjun couldn't help but overthink and wonder if Xuantian Daozong was behind it.

With the Heavenly Forging Palace, the Crimson Feather Immortal Court has nothing to fear.

But if it's the Xuantian Dao Sect, then it's a different story.

Think of this.

Ying Linjun looked down at a cultivator dressed in black and asked in a cold voice, "Has the master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect made any moves so far?"

"All the spies planted by the Dark Feather Guard within the Heavenly Forging Bureau have been eliminated, and there is no further news coming out for the time being."

However, Shen Changqing has not made any further moves since defeating Yin Jiuquan.

According to the last message from the spy, Tianzhu Mansion was able to get Shen Changqing to help by offering the mansion's heritage as a price.

Therefore, I suspect that he might currently be comprehending the Heavenly Forging Palace's inheritance!

The black-clad monk spoke respectfully.

Hearing what the other party said, Ying Linjun remained silent for a while.

The black-clad cultivator was named Qin Ling, the commander of the Dark Feather Guard. His words were therefore somewhat credible.

half an hour.

Ying Linjun asked, "In your opinion, is the Xuan Tian Dao Sect behind Tianzhu Mansion's actions this time?"

"Highly unlikely!"

Qin Ling hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Ying Linjun asked, "Why?"

"According to the information I have received, Shen Changqing is a domineering person. If he really wanted to take action against the Celestial Court, he would not need to go through the trouble of having the Heavenly Forging Bureau intervene."

After all, given his strength, even if the entire Celestial Court were to use its resources, it would likely be difficult to contend with him!

Qin Ling hesitated for a moment before saying those last words.

After all, saying that would be a slap in the face to the Crimson Feather Immortal Court.

Ying Linjun did not get angry when he heard those words.

Because he knew that what Qin Ling said was true.

The Crimson Feather Celestial Court has no foundation for immortality; its strongest member is none other than the Crimson Feather Heavenly Emperor.

Ying Linjun knew his own limitations; if he were to face Shen Changqing, he probably wouldn't last even a single round.

and so.

Although Qin Ling's words were somewhat harsh.

But it is what it is.

The current Crimson Feather Immortal Court is not qualified to contend with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Or perhaps...

The Crimson Feather Immortal Court was no match for the master of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

As long as Shen Changqing is willing, the other party alone can sweep through the entire Crimson Feather Immortal Court.

Figure this out.

Ying Linjun's eyes turned cold, his voice icy: "Since the Heavenly Forging Palace wants war, then I will grant their wish. My Crimson Feather Immortal Court has stood tall in the Illusionary God Realm for many years; we will not be easily manipulated—"

"No!"

Before Ying Linjun could finish speaking, Qin Ling interrupted him.

As soon as these words came out.

The temperature inside the hall immediately dropped sharply.

Ying Linjun stared coldly at the other party, his tone revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Why not?"

"Bai Lianchuan never does anything without being sure of success. The strength of Tianzhu Mansion is at most comparable to that of the Celestial Court."

If they wanted to destroy the Celestial Court, that would be absolutely impossible.

If both sides go to war, the best outcome will be mutual destruction!

Qin Ling remained calm and truthfully expressed his opinion.

"Moreover, the Heavenly Forging Palace has captured sixteen immortal cities, and carried out massacres in each of them. Such actions do not seem like an attempt to destroy the Immortal Court, but rather like venting anger!"

Vent your anger!

These words caused Ying Linjun's expression to change slightly.

The anger that had been surging in my chest has subsided somewhat for the time being.

He hadn't thought of it that way before, but after hearing Ying Linjun's words and considering Tianzhufu's actions, this conclusion was indeed plausible.

However, even if it was venting his anger, it still made Ying Linjun feel dissatisfied.

But before he could speak, Qin Ling continued.

"The Heavenly Forging Palace suffered a great calamity and eliminated many spies, including those within the Crimson Feather Immortal Court. It is understandable that Bai Lianchuan would be dissatisfied and want to vent his anger."

Shen Changqing is currently still in Tianzhu City. If the Celestial Court and Tianzhu Prefecture were to go to war at this time, it might alert that person.

If it really comes to that, it will be detrimental to the Celestial Court!

"Besides, that person won't stay there forever. Once they leave, we'll have a good chance to settle scores with Tianzhu Mansion at our own pace."

Moreover, there are many forces eyeing the inheritance of the Heavenly Forging Palace now. Perhaps the Heavenly Forging Palace will be destroyed without the Celestial Court even having to take action.

The Heavenly Forging Palace may seem to have survived the great calamity, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface. If the Heavenly Forging Palace wants to find a way out, the most likely option is to leave the Illusionary God Realm.

But from any perspective, it's entirely beneficial to the Celestial Court!

Qin Ling's words completely dissipated the anger in Ying Linjun's heart.

He looked at the other celestial officials and asked calmly, "What do you all think of Commander Qin's statement?"

"Commander Qin is absolutely right. The matter at Tianzhu Prefecture is currently insignificant, and the best course of action is to endure it for now!"

"At worst, we can settle accounts with Tianzhu Mansion after Shen Changqing leaves. Right now, that person is still there, so it's really not advisable to have a conflict with him!"

"..."

The ministers chimed in with their opinions, all of which echoed Qin Ling's view: to temporarily back down and avoid a direct confrontation with Tianzhu Mansion.

Once the latter has vented, then we can find an opportunity to settle things later.

Ying Linjun tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the imperial throne, and after a long while, he nodded.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say!"

Upon hearing this, many celestial officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

to be frank.

They were also worried that the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't be able to swallow this insult and would insist on challenging the Heavenly Forging Palace, which would be a real problem.

Tianzhu Mansion is not scary.

However, the person behind Tianzhu Mansion is not to be underestimated.

Even if there's only a sliver of a chance, they're unwilling to take the risk.

Just bear with it and it will pass.

There's absolutely no need to fight over a moment's pride.

……

the other side.

The Tianzhu Prefecture is still carrying out a large-scale massacre in the city.

However, the Crimson Feather Immortal Court, having received orders, did not offer much effective resistance. When faced with the Heavenly Forging Palace army, they wisely retreated to preserve their own strength.

This way.

The pace at which Tianzhu Prefecture captured the city also accelerated considerably.

at the same time.

This unusual situation also reached Bai Lianchuan's ears.

"Not going to resist?"

Bai Lianchuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the news.

Before him, an elder from the Heavenly Forging Palace nodded: "At the beginning, the Crimson Feather Immortal Court's resistance was quite strong, but it clearly weakened a lot later on."

Many Immortal Emperors, when faced with our army, didn't even bother to engage in battle; they simply abandoned their immortal cities and fled far away.

"interesting……"

A cold glint flashed in Bai Lianchuan's eyes, then a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the one from the Crimson Feather Immortal Court has also sensed something and is deliberately avoiding meeting the Heavenly Forging Palace. In that case, there is no need for us to waste our time."

Pass down the order to have the others speed up.

"If you say you'll slaughter thirty cities, then not a single one will be spared!"

The elder asked in a low voice, "Yes... but since the Crimson Feather Celestial Court is not resisting, may we go even further in?"

"There's no need. The Crimson Feather Celestial Court has a strong foundation. If we push them too far, we'll only end up with both sides suffering heavy losses."

Their decision to temporarily avoid confrontation likely stems from their awareness of Tianzhu Mansion's intentions.

Then there's the one who stayed in the Heavenly Forging Palace, which made the Crimson Feather Immortal Court hesitant to act rashly. But no matter what, they shouldn't push the Crimson Feather Immortal Court to the brink of ruin for the time being.

If it really comes to that, it might not be a good thing for us either!

Bai Lianchuan shook his head to stop him. Both sides were now tacitly aware of the situation, and he couldn't possibly destroy the Crimson Feather Immortal Court.

Slaughtering thirty of the enemy's immortal cities to vent one's anger would be enough.

After all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

The Crimson Feather Immortal Court is not a pushover, and since they are currently hesitant, they are temporarily backing down.

But if Tianzhu Mansion really insists on pressing forward step by step, leaving no room for retreat, then things will be different.

Got to that point.

The two sides are destined to be locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Even if Tianzhu Mansion wins, it will have to pay a huge price.

As for getting Shen Changqing to help, to be honest, Tianzhu Mansion no longer has the resources to ask him for help.

For such beings, there are very few things that can truly move them.

Aside from its weapon-making heritage, Tianzhu Mansion has nothing else to offer.

As for the other Immortal Emperor's inheritances, they were utterly insignificant to that person.

Upon hearing Bai Lianchuan's words, the elder's expression changed slightly. He then understood the implications, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Crimson Feather Celestial Court—"

Bai Lianchuan looked at the void ahead, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The feud between Tianzhu Mansion and Chiyu Immortal Court is considerable, and he would not hesitate to take any chance to destroy Chiyu Immortal Court.

But a pity.

Again.

Given the current state of Tianzhu Mansion, if it were to engage in a battle with the Crimson Feather Immortal Court, it would inevitably result in mutual destruction.

This is the result.

This is not what Bai Lianchuan wanted to see.

Therefore, slaughtering dozens of the enemy's immortal cities was enough to vent their anger for now; as for the rest, they could only deal with it later. (End of Chapter)
