The experts of the six factions were stupefied. The two helpers they called over had started fighting each other. What were they to do now?

Can we still attack?

The people who came to observe the ceremony were also stupefied. Why are there roars coming from Borderless Heavenly Capital? They turned their heads to look.

The scene shocked the surroundings.

“The Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s people? The Ying Imperial Dynasty’s master, Long Shenying? They are here again?” someone exclaimed.

“This is never-ending!”

“However, why are they fighting among themselves?”

“Why are they fighting? Even if they are fighting, there’s no need to fight in Borderless Heavenly Capital. Why did they come here to fight?”

The surrounding observers could not understand.

However, the Han Nation citizens glared.

“It’s the Spirit Mountain demons! The Spirit Mountain evil demons! The Spirit Mountain evil demons are back!” Countless Han Nation citizens glared in hatred.

The six faction leaders, the surrounding observers, the Han Nation citizens, and even Bodhisattva Lian Sheng in Borderless Heavenly Capital looked at the distant Gu Hai, who was still honoring the dead.

After Gu Hai completed his speech, he bowed slowly to the mass grave being filled in.

The civil and military officials bowed to the mass grave together with Gu Hai.

The solemnity of the ceremony suppressed the commotion.

Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, the Mosquito Daoist, and Ao Shun did not move. They merely bowed quietly, as though they did not care about Borderless Heavenly Capital, apparently indifferent to the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s attack.

The surroundings turned strangely quiet.

The six faction leaders could even hear their hearts pounding intensely in anxiety and horror.

The six faction leaders did not attack. They did not dare to attack, as they did not know what was going on.

They saw Long Shenying with his claws stabbed into Di Shitian’s and the Southern Sea Dragon King’s chests. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva immediately turned their manifested palms around to attack Long Shenying.

“Roar!”

The Southern Sea Dragon King and Di Shitian transformed into enormous dragons while crying in pain. Their chests had burst open, blood spraying out; they were on their last breath.

Long Shenying’s claws were too powerful, threatening to tear the two dragons apart. The attacks of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva arrived at this moment.

Long Shenying could only let go and deal with these three in a rush.

He shook off the two dragons to swing his claws at Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

Boom!

A loud report rang out as the two dragons went flying, spraying blood everywhere. Long Shenying had attacked quickly earlier, ripping gaping holes in the dragons’ bodies and nearly reaping their lives.

After the loud report, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva knocked back Long Shenying by a smidge.

Of course, it was just by a smidge. Just like Sect Master Heavenly Access, the three could suppress him by combining their attacks. However, they were not Sect Master Heavenly Access’s match when working alone. Likewise, they were no match for Long Shenying with individual attacks.

“Hah!”

Long Shenying took a step back, then charged at the three while roaring.

Shiva’s expression changed. “Those six factions tricked us! Leave quickly!”

“This is Gu Hai’s scheme! Hurry!” Vishnu exclaimed.

“I’ll block Long Shenying!” Brahma charged forward.

Boom!

Long Shenying landed a palm strike on the enlarging Brahma.

Blargh!

The attack sent Brahma flying back, spewing a mouthful of blood.

However, Shiva and Vishnu quickly rescued the two dying dragons.

“Run!”

Brahma shielded the rest, letting them leave first.

However, Long Shenying rushed forward and landed another palm strike.

Boom!

Brahma spewed another mouthful of blood. His complexion turned ashen as he finally turned around and chased after the rest.

Whoosh!

The group flew to the horizon as they fled.

Long Shenying’s face sank, but he did not give chase. Once he left this place where the Ying Nation and the Han Nation adjoined, his blessings would scatter.

On the other side, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, the Mosquito Daoist, and Ao Shun felt anxious.

What an opportunity! What an opportunity! We could have kept all of them here today!

However, Gu Hai ignored the distant battle, not bothering with it as he continued solemnly honoring the dead citizens.

“Hah…,” Kong Xuan and the others sighed softly.

However, Mo Yike and Sima Changkong did not feel any doubts.

They understood what Gu Hai intended with this. Long Shenying waited until now to make a move to shock their enemies, not to kill them here.

He wanted to shock the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s people and the surrounding ambitious factions. He wanted everyone to know how formidable the Han Nation was.

Kill these people here? How could it be that easy?

This was especially when Gu Hai had already elevated fighting the Spirit Mountain Holy Land to a national level. He could not ignore everything for a moment’s gain.

Gu Hai had not yet figured out the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s bottom line. If he made a move now, the Present Buddha would too. Likewise, the Six Paths Veritable Lord clone would also attack.

It was not impossible but definite. Would it take long for those people—among the strongest in the world—to get to Borderless Heavenly Capital? No. It would only take moments.

Gu Hai did not know what the Present Buddha was plotting. However, the Han Imperial Dynasty had not caught the Present Buddha’s attention yet. At the very least, the Present Buddha would not expose everything he had for the Han Imperial Dynasty.

However, if Gu Hai attacked with everything he had, it would force the Present Buddha to show his hand. That would be extremely bad for the Han Imperial Dynasty. The Han Nation could only fight the Spirit Mountain Holy Land with strategy, chipping away layer by layer and slowly infiltrating them.

Thus, Gu Hai continued the ceremony.

This left the surrounding citizens and observers feeling confused.

The six faction leaders were flabbergasted, not knowing what to do.

“How could it be like this?” one sovereign said in despair.

Then they saw Long Shenying flying over slowly.

The observers’ expressions changed. The six faction leaders’ faces sank.

“What is Long Shenying doing? Is he going to continue attacking?”

“If he attacks now, what should we do? Should we attack?”

The six faction leaders showed extremely unsightly expressions. If they attacked now, their chances of victory were practically nil. At the same time, they looked at Long Shenying incredibly resentfully. It would be fine if you left. We can pretend nothing happened. However, if you stay, we feel conflicted.

------

At the waist of another mountain:

Emperor Kong and Mister Starless narrowed their eyes slightly as they watched Long Shenying fly over.

“Is Long Shenying here to disrupt Gu Hai’s memorial service? That does not seem right?” Emperor Kong frowned.

“Emperor Kong, did you notice that when the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s experts attacked, Long Shenying fought them at Borderless Heavenly Capital’s entrance, yet Gu Hai did not even frown at such a battle? No one among the civil and military officials went to protect Borderless Heavenly Capital,” Mister Starless said with a frown.

“Are you saying…” Emperor Kong narrowed his eyes further.

“All this should be within Gu Hai’s plans. Rather, he knew about this long ago,” Mister Starless said sullenly.

“He knew about this long ago? Gu Hai arranged this? That’s impossible, right? That’s Long Shenying, Long Zhanguo’s son. He is the proudest among the Qian Nation’s crown princes. How could he obey Gu Hai?” Emperor Kong argued skeptically.

However, Long Shenying had already arrived. After landing, he suddenly bowed to Gu Hai respectfully.

“Han Imperial Dynasty’s Eighth Corps commander, Long Shenying, salutes Your Reverence. I have already pushed back the enemy!” Long Shenying shouted.

Buzz!

Everyone’s expression changed.

Eighth Corps commander? Salutations, Your Reverence?

“This is impossible!” the distant Emperor Kong exclaimed.

The six distant faction leaders were suddenly petrified, their expressions changing dramatically.

Eighth Corps commander? The Han Imperial Dynasty’s Eighth Corps commander? Long Shenying? How can that be?

The Ying Imperial Dynasty’s territory rivals the Han Imperial Dynasty’s. Furthermore, you are a sovereign! A sovereign! How could you submit to another?

A sect master can bend his knees, but a sovereign cannot be humiliated!

Yet, an imperial emperor bowed to Gu Hai?

Under the heavy rain, the burial of Three Mountains City was completed. However, the brief clamor in the surroundings strangely quieted.

Besides the sound of rain, the surroundings were absolutely silent. It felt like even the rain made no sound as everyone looked at Gu Hai and Long Shenying.

Gu Hai only turned around when the public memorial service ended.

“Long Shenying!” Gu Hai called out.

“This official is present!” Long Shenying said seriously.

“Enter the nation, then!” Gu Hai said gravely.

“Yes, Your Reverence!” Long Shenying said gravely.

Long Shenying suddenly announced, “Ying Nation citizens! We are Long Shenying. From today on, we abdicate as the nation’s sovereign. We will lead the Ying Nation into joining the Han Imperial Dynasty. We shall be the Han Imperial Dynasty’s official and person. Today, we use the blessings one last time to announce to the people, we willingly joined the Han Imperial Dynasty. This is the Ying Imperial Dynasty’s blessing. The Ying Nation is no more, and the Han Nation rises! We will bask in glory once again, like our father’s previous Qian Nation, never to decline! Please trust us one last time. We will never risk the people’s lives! As such, I am now equal to everyone, a Han Nation citizen. Respectfully saluting the Han Imperial Emperor, Gu Hai! Long live Your Reverence! May Your Reverence live for ten thousand years!”

“Roar!”

After Long Shenying shouted, the golden blessings dragon in his body rushed out and flew to the Han Imperial Dynasty’s blessings cloud sea.

Rumble…!

Simultaneously, the boundless, surging blessings in Ying Divine City suddenly and quickly flowed south.

The many officials in Ying Divine City appeared shocked. Then they kneeled with horror on their faces. “Your Reverence, why?! Why?!”

The surging blessings rushed towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

The Ying Imperial Dynasty’s golden blessings dragon flew to the Han Imperial Dynasty’s golden blessings dragon.

“Roar!”

The Han Nation’s golden blessings dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the Ying Nation’s golden blessings dragon. However, the Ying Nation’s golden blessings dragon did not resist, letting itself get swallowed.

Boom!

The Han Nation golden blessings dragon enlarged at a visible pace.

As the surging blessings arrived, the blessings sea above Borderless Heavenly Capital burgeoned.

At this moment, the observers near Three Mountains City were confused. The Han Imperial Dynasty’s officials appeared stupefied, and the Ying Imperial Dynasty’s officials crumbled mentally.

The citizens of the two nations were shocked.

Nearly everyone in the Ying Imperial Dynasty and the Han Imperial Dynasty felt stupefied.

The change happened too fast; for a while, they could not accept this development.

This was especially so for the six faction leaders. When they saw Long Shenying lead his nation into joining the Han Imperial Dynasty, many conflicting emotions, including shock and horror, flooded their hearts.

Fight? They did not dare to.

Flee? The nearby Kong Xuan, Ao Shun, Shangguan Hen, the Mosquito Daoist, Long Shenying, and even Gu Hai suddenly looked over.

The six suddenly felt like crying. The trap they had laid ended up trapping them.
