Chapter 71 - They will come to your aid

"Everyone, I would like to apologise to all of you for arranging this urgent meeting without prior notice but it had to be done so I ask for your forgiveness," little fox said in a sincere tone. Feng Jiu heard this and turned to stare at her senior brother with a shocked expression. Little fox felt her gaze and smiled wryly. He could definitely guess what she was thinking." When did little fox become so polite?" Feng Jiu asked Taiyi in a low pitch that sounded almost like a whisper. Not many people heard her as she transmitted her voice to Taiyi so only he could hear what she was saying." He was always polite after all he is my eldest disciple," Taiyi proudly said. Feng Jiu only rolled her eyes backwards at this." Your disciples are all brutes, apart from me," Feng Jiu said with a smile. Taiyi heard this and wanted to refute but he just closed his mouth. He remembered the fact that all his disciples were violent in nature so he just accepted the praise as he knew calling them brutes was an understatement. Even Feng Jiu herself was violent in nature even more violent than Little fox. When Taiyi thought of this he lowered his head and closed his eyes as he did not want to get on Feng Jiu's bad books at the moment. He still remembered how she had pulled out the whiskers of the dragon king of the east sea and knew that it won't end well for him if he were to annoy her after all he didn't want his draconic whiskers being pulled out when he was asleep. "We don't mind. You don't have to be so formal Lord Bo," the leaders said with a smile after all they did not want to get on the bad side of Lord Fox." Thank you all for accepting my simple apology. Now allow me to go straight to the point. Our realm is currently in danger," Lord Fox said with a solemn expression on his face. Most of the leaders were shocked by this. The atmosphere in the room took a sharp turn after this. There was now a tense atmosphere in the room. That last sentence brought a sense of crisis to all the leaders. Most of them had expected something like this but listening to it coming from the horse's mouth made it sound different. "Lord Bo, would please elaborate it more clearly so that we can understand, " another leader asked." The outer space foreigners have decided to fight a decisive battle with us. A fight to the death and they have decided to send its full armies," Lord Fox, Bai LingBo but he was known as Lord Bo, said. The leaders were further shocked as they finally understood the severity of the situation. When it comes to a decisive battle then all the leaders were all seasoned fighters and knew that such a battle contained many variables and it had far reaching repercussions. No matter what they tried they knew that such a battle was very destructive and many lived would be lost and in the process maybe even the six realms, three seas and eight deserts would be wiped out." This time even their ancestral gods will be participating in this battle and it is said that their supreme lord, Elliot, would likely get involved in the upcoming war," Lord Fox said in a solemn tone. Most of the leaders knew what this meant. With the involvement of Lord Elliot and the ancestral gods it meant that the result of the battle depended on the normal soldiers because if they were able to fend off against the attacks of the foreigners then the higher ups only needed to eliminate the enemy's higher ups before intervening on the battles of the lower soldiers." Lord Bo, since you called for such a meeting then it means that you are ready for what is to come and you have probably devised a plan," the heavenly emperor said with a smile on his face. Taiyi who had been silent all along suddenly opened his eyes. "I will hold back Elliot and a few of their stronger ancestral gods keeping them busy so you have sufficient time to deal with the remaining ones. We cannot allow our realms to be the battlefield," Taiyi said after which he closed his eyes again. Everyone understood what he meant but this also meant that the battle would be not in their favour because of the change in terrain. This basically lowered their odds of winning but Taiyi was right. If such a battle was fought on their realms then the losses would be too high." If there is a chance that some changes occur on the battlefield you should all retreat to your respective realms. I have everything planned out but it is our last resort," Lord Fox said as he stared at the leaders. Even he was unsure if they could win the battle. When it came to ancestral gods then they were outnumbered so even if Taiyi was yo hold them back he could only stop a few of them. Taiyi had already laid out his plan and he planned to trap a few of the ancestral gods and Elliot in the purple palace. The purple palace was not only a palace but it was also an artifact that was made using the law of space so it had a secret realm but Taiyi rarely opened the secret realm and now he was planning on using it. That secret realm could only be opened in such a situation when the heavenly realm was in danger and once opened it could not be easily closed unless the people trapped inside died. Of course as Taiyi was the owner he could get out but if he activated the battle mode in the secret realm then he would only be able to leave after killing all the enemies trapped inside. After speaking, Taiyi disappeared leaving Feng Jiu on his throne. After leaving Taiyi did not return to the fire realm or to the heavenly realm rather he decided to pay a visit to the east sea. He found the old dragon king of the east sea waiting for him." Is it finally time?" The old dragon king asked as he stared at the sky. It was unknown whether he was speaking to Taiyi or to someone else." They have grown impatient and view me as a threat to their so called balance of nature," Taiyi answered with a smile on his face." They have never changed and are still using the same old excuse. The battle ahead is not an easy one but they will come to your aid," the old dragon king said with a smile as he turned around and stared at Taiyi gently. Taiyi saw this but he did not speak. He did not ask any questions even though he had many. He knew that it would yield no results so he decided to allow nature to take its course and to see what would happen.
