#1847 - The warrior appears!

"Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean 'Hong Zhu' is abandoning us! How could Hong Zhu abandon us!"

"That's right! Old Beard! Do you know some inside information!?"

"Bullshit! Hong Zhu would never abandon us! We've been fighting against the filth!"

Around the Myriad Ancient Sky Supporting Sect's arena, the creatures of all races heard the long-bearded elder's words, their expressions changed, and they couldn't help but shout out.

The long-bearded elder heard this, glanced at Ji Dongfeng, and said, "Boy, you should explain."

Ji Dongfeng nodded and briefly recounted his experiences, omitting the part where he forcibly merged with the First Heaven's space, only saying that he had taken away all the living beings from the First Heaven.

"The living beings of the First Heaven are now in my portable space. If you don't believe me, I can let them appear," Ji Dongfeng said.

Upon hearing this, the creatures of the Third Heaven all changed their expressions, their eyes filled with shock, unable to believe everything they were hearing.

"There's no need for them to appear," Xian Datong said.

"Why not let them appear! We can't determine the truth based on this kid's word alone!" Elder Bu San said in a deep voice.

Xian Datong heard this and said, "First, I have a way to determine whether a person is telling the truth or not. I can guarantee that what Ji Dongfeng just said is all true, at least, he really experienced these things."

"Second, we cannot determine the reason why the living beings of the First Heaven were treated this way, nor can we be sure whether they carry that strange golden energy. Before everything is certain, letting them appear will only create karma between us in the Third Heaven and them. In my opinion, that's not a good thing."

"Are you saying that the Third Heaven wants to completely sever ties with the First Heaven?" Hu Banshan said coldly.

"That's not what I mean. I'm just saying that we must ensure that this disaster suffered by the First Heaven does not affect the Third Heaven," Xian Datong said.

The creatures of the Third Heaven showed complex expressions, unsure of what to do.

"How can we ensure that? Could it be that we should find a way to ask Hong Zhu personally?" Hu Banshan said.

The long-bearded elder waved his hand, signaling Hu Banshan to calm down.

"Without the First Heaven, there would be no Third Heaven. Hong Zhu can abandon the First Heaven, but we in the Third Heaven cannot. However, now is not the time to discuss this. What I just asked was, if Hong Zhu even abandons the Third Heaven, what should we do?" the long-bearded elder said.

"In my opinion, we need to do two things. First, like Ji Dongfeng, prepare some space-related treasures in advance, and then find a way to escape the Netherworld Hong Tree. Second, work harder to eliminate the filth, proving our value," Xian Datong said.

Ji Dongfeng smiled lightly and said, "Prove our value? The living beings of the First Heaven wiped out all the filth in the First Heaven, but weren't they still targeted?"

"The living beings of the Third Heaven are stronger, so their value to Hong Zhu is naturally greater," Xian Datong said.

The long-bearded elder said in a deep voice, "I have a suggestion. From this moment on, the living beings of the Third Heaven should focus on researching treasures related to space. In case something unexpected happens, we can find a way to escape. As for the struggle with the filth and the demonic cultivators, we can put that aside for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the creatures of all races expressed their agreement.

"Ji Dongfeng, your portable space can actually hold all the living beings of the First Heaven. It seems you have many space-related methods. You must put in more effort," Xian Datong said with a smile.

Ji Dongfeng curled his lips and said, "Are you trying to morally blackmail me? Sorry, this King of Force has no morals. My space can hold mortals, but it can't necessarily hold an immortal."

Hearing this, Xian Datong was about to speak when he heard a series of loud noises in his ear.

At the same time, all the creatures of the Third Heaven uncontrollably knelt on the ground, even the long-bearded elder and Xian Datong were no exception.

"Damn it! What is this… My body is out of control!" Hu Banshan said, gritting his teeth.

"The aura of these twelve phantoms is too strong, completely suppressing us. Don't resist. If you resist forcefully, you may suffer a backlash…" Song Yan quickly said.

For a time, the creatures around the arena were kneeling all over the place. Only Ji Dongfeng was still able to stand on the arena, seemingly unaffected.

"Twelve little punks," Ji Dongfeng looked up at the twelve phantoms and said coldly.

Mao Xinghe glanced at Ji Dongfeng and said in a deep voice, "We are the avatars of the Twelve War Generals under Lord Hong Zhu. We have come to the Netherworld Hong Tree to announce something."

"The battlefield will descend on the Hong Forest, and all the living beings of the Hong Tree must enter the battlefield and join the battle," Mao Xinghe said.

Hearing this, the expressions of the creatures of the Third Heaven changed drastically. They wanted to say something, but they were completely suppressed at the moment and couldn't even speak.

"You mean… let all the creatures of the Third Heaven leave the Hong Tree and enter the Hong Forest?" Ji Dongfeng said, currently the only one among the creatures of the Third Heaven who could speak.

"No, most of you are not qualified to enter the Hong Forest, not even capable of becoming cannon fodder," Mao Xinghe said.

"The battlefield is divided into two parts, one outside the Hong Tree and one inside the Hong Tree. When the battlefield officially descends, the entire Hong Forest will be like a chessboard, and the Hong Tree will be the chess pieces. Lord Hong Zhu and the Filth Lord will compete for each Hong Tree."

"Now, Lord Hong Zhu wants to select the strongest creature in each Hong Tree to form the Filth-Breaking Army. You can also understand them as suicide squads. After the battlefield descends, the Filth-Breaking Army will be the first to rush up and fight."

Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Old fart, what bad idea are you brewing this time?"

"Please watch your words," Mao Xinghe said.

"Since it's the strongest creature, you should go to the Ninth Heaven to pick one," Ji Dongfeng said.

"The Netherworld Hong Tree, as one of the Nine Great Hong Trees, naturally has to put in more effort. The Third Heaven, Fifth Heaven, Seventh Heaven, and Ninth Heaven must each send a creature," Mao Xinghe said.

"What about the First Heaven? Why not mention the First Heaven?" Ji Dongfeng sneered.

Mao Xinghe's pupils trembled and said, "Within three days, choose this creature. If this creature does not contribute in the Filth-Breaking Army, or takes any other actions that violate Lord Hong Zhu's orders, then the Hong Tree to which it belongs will be punished by Lord Hong Zhu."

"In addition, from this moment on, except for the creature participating in the Filth-Breaking Army, all creatures in the Third Heaven of the Netherworld Hong Tree are not allowed to leave the Hong Tree for half a step. Violators will be directly obliterated!"
