I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 426 Openly Repairing the Plank Road While Secretly Crossing the Chencang Pass! The Confused

Chu Yang and Lin Dong did not hide their conversation from those around them, but no one understood it; they were all completely confused.

Even Ling Qingzhu, who was closest to Lin Dong, knew nothing about it.

This is the greatest fate of the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Domain, and it is also a shocking conspiracy that Chu Yang has been planning for a long time, targeting the extraterrestrial evil race.

The Empty City Stratagem?

It's just a facade!

Chu Yang was able to construct a multi-directional teleportation array similar to an insect web among the six forces, so he could naturally also construct a stable and concealed one-way teleportation array.

He opened a spatial rift in both the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Domain, which connected two spatial nodes outside the domain.

Chu Yang was confident that unless it was a late-stage Saint-level Heavenly Demon Emperor or a Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor personally investigating inch by inch, it would be impossible to discover the tricks he had made at those two spatial nodes.

That was a contingency plan he left behind when he entered the outer realms. It was initially intended for unforeseen circumstances, but now it has come in very handy.

Chu Yang gave Xiao Yan and Lin Dong a "Black Tower" respectively. As long as they are activated, they can unleash the spatial power left inside, as well as Pangu's "avatar".

Under the control of Pangu's clone, the spatial power will, in a short time, transform the spatial rift opened by Chu Yang into a stable spatial channel, directly connecting to a spatial node outside the domain.

Imagine two sides are locked in fierce fighting on the front lines, and suddenly a powerful being from the Great Thousand Realms arrives behind enemy lines. What would happen then?

Admittedly, this action carries enormous risks, and even the powerful individuals involved may never return.

However, as long as one is cautious enough and does not linger in battle, striking the enemy's weak point and retreating immediately, then destroying the spatial passage upon returning, the extraterrestrial evil race will essentially suffer a great loss for nothing!

On the surface, the empty city tactic was used to attract the attention of the evil race, while secretly using the spatial passage to launch a sneak attack on the enemy's rear. This move was extremely insidious...

Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass!

Chu Yang and his two companions left the Martial Realm with Lin Dong and headed straight for the Ice Spirit Continent.

On the way, Chu Yang said softly, "Be careful then, and don't get bogged down in battle!"

"Also, remember, when you're outside this realm, don't trust anyone except those close to you. You should understand what I mean!"

Lin Dong nodded. He knew that Chu Yang was talking about the Evil Spirit Clan. Those guys were almost indistinguishable from humans, and there was no way to tell the difference.

This is the only chance. Regardless of whether this operation succeeds or fails, the extraterrestrial evil race will not allow such a thing to happen.

Chu Yang would not participate personally, because he knew very well that his aura had probably already been firmly remembered by those Heavenly Demon Emperors.

As soon as he enters the outer domain, he will be locked on immediately.

In contrast, Lin Dong and the others were at a lower cultivation level back then, so they didn't receive much attention from the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Chu Yang was initially hesitant about the plan, as it was too risky and could easily result in heavy losses.

However, the sudden entry of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha into the outer realm undoubtedly created the best opportunity for Chu Yang's plan!

With him keeping the powerful figures of the evil race, such as the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor, in check, Chu Yang had more room to maneuver in this plan.

The risks faced by the strong who participate in the plan will also be greatly reduced.

Chu Yang glanced at Fan Wuye, then suddenly transmitted his voice to Lin Dong, "Oh, and don't forget to collect the primordial demonic energy!"

Lin Dong nodded calmly. He and Xiao Yan already knew that Chu Yang needed the primordial demonic energy, and they would collect it secretly.

However, Chu Yang only told them that he had found a way to effectively kill the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but it required a large amount of primordial demonic energy to try it out.

For the powerful beings of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Sacred Heart Demon Refining Technique was far too evil, since no one had ever heard of a human being being able to absorb the primordial demonic energy of the evil race!

To put it bluntly, this power is somewhat "anti-human." Even though Chu Yang has a high reputation and he doesn't seem to be corrupted by demonic energy, it's hard not to feel uneasy about it.

In fact, it would be safer to leave this kind of thing to Ao Ting and Huo Ling.

The key issue is that Chu Yang is unsure whether Ao Ting and Huo Ling will be able to arrive in time and participate before the operation begins.

After all, the Great Thousand Demon Buddha was an uncertain factor, and Chu Yang had no way to contact him. Who knew when this high monk, who was determined to die and condense relics with himself, would make his move?

Secondly, once the battle begins outside the realm, Ao Ting and Huo Ling will likely face enemies at the level of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, at which point they will probably be distracted and unable to focus on their duties.

The Ice Spirit Continent is located in the northern part of the Martial Realm, and its geographical location is similar to that of the Demon Suppression Continent and the Holy Abyss Continent on the western border.

If the Martial Realm is the first line of defense on the southern border of the Great Thousand World, then the Ice Spirit Clan is undoubtedly the second line of defense.

The Daqian Palace branch used to be stationed on the southern border, but with the Wujing taking over the area, it has put a lot of pressure on the Daqian Palace.

As soon as Chu Yang and his group arrived at the Ice Spirit Continent, an old man in blue robes came to greet them.

"Martial Ancestor!" The old man politely cupped his hands to Lin Dong, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Lin Dong chuckled and said, "Senior, there's no need to be so polite. This is the King of Chu, who has come to serve as the War Emperor of the Western Heaven..."

Upon hearing his words, the blue-robed elder's expression immediately changed, and he respectfully bowed deeply to Chu Yang, saying, "I have long admired the name of the King of Chu!"

"I am Ying Xingtian of the Ice Spirit Clan. I was unaware of the King of Chu's presence and have failed to greet you properly!"

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment because he had never heard of Ying Xingtian before. He turned to look at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong then explained, "This is the patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Good guy!

Has my prestige in the Great Thousand Worlds already reached this level?

A dignified patriarch-level figure actually revealed his real name directly and adopted such a humble attitude.

This is the Ice Spirit Ancestor who was once arrogant and didn't take Lingdong seriously at all.

"Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Who knows, we might even become family in the future..." Chu Yang smiled meaningfully.

The Ice Spirit Ancestor's eyes narrowed, then, as if realizing something, he glanced at Lin Dong and nodded repeatedly, saying, "King Chu is right!"

In fact, ever since the last incident, the Ice Spirit Ancestor had realized that their Ice Spirit Clan could not afford to offend Lin Dong, let alone a Martial Realm expert.

That's why he personally greeted Lin Dong the moment he learned of his arrival, and even put on a smiling face.

During this period, due to the events involving the five ancient clans, the reputation of the Martial Realm soared, and it was also branded with Chu Yang's name.

This made him even more afraid to offend them.

Meanwhile, the Ice Spirit Ancestor was also troubled about how to resolve the conflict between the Ice Spirit Clan and the Martial Realm.

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, the Ice Spirit Ancestor's mind immediately began to stir.

Why did the Martial Ancestor become enemies with the Ice Spirit Clan?

Isn't it all just to resurrect his wife through the Ice Spirit Clan's ancestral monument?

This shows that Emperor Wuzu had a very good relationship with his wife.

And his wife possessed royal blood from the Ice Spirit Clan, so...

If I were to push her into the position of Ice Spirit Clan Chief, wouldn't the conflict between the two sides be perfectly resolved?

Moreover, the Ice Spirit Clan will inevitably become closely allied with the Martial Realm in the future, and may even be able to rely on Chu Yang as a powerful figure!

For a moment, the Ice Spirit Ancestor became more and more excited, hoping that the Martial Ancestor's wife could be resurrected as soon as possible.

The group soon arrived at the place where Lin Dong had suppressed the Western Heaven Battle Emperor. This place had been designated as a forbidden area by the Ice Spirit Clan, and no one from the clan was allowed to approach it.

The Ice Spirit Ancestor was also afraid that someone might be foolish enough to break the restrictions here and let the Western Heaven Battle Emperor go, thus incurring Lin Dong's displeasure.

The Western Heaven War Emperor has been extremely frustrated lately!

He owed a favor to the Ice Spirit Ancestor, and he was also quite interested in the Martial Realm, wanting to bring it under his command.

The lack of a Heavenly Supreme expert has always been the biggest problem for the Western Heaven Battle Hall.

As long as this problem remains unresolved, even if he breaks through to the Saint rank, the Western Heaven Battle Palace will not be able to become a transcendent force.

Unfortunately, the only one under his command who could rival the Heavenly Sovereign was Yao Feng, who was merely a "temporary worker" "borrowed" from Chu Yang.

Therefore, when the Ice Spirit Ancestor asked him to help, the Western Heaven Battle Emperor agreed without hesitation.

On the one hand, it was to repay a favor, and on the other hand, it was to forcefully suppress the so-called Martial Ancestor and then naturally bring the Martial Realm under his command.

As for asking the Ice Spirit Ancestor for the remnant soul of the Martial Ancestor's wife?

Do you really think that he, a mighty emperor who has fought countless battles, only knows how to think with his lower body?

He only did that to find Lin Dong's weakness, and after suppressing Lin Dong, he would use a combination of kindness and coercion.

At that time, as long as the remnant soul is returned to Lin Dong, and he does a favor to have the Ice Spirit Clan revive him with the ancestral tablet, he will naturally be able to completely control the Martial Realm.

To put it bluntly, the Western Heaven War Emperor wanted Lin Dong to understand that he had the strength to crush those in the Martial Realm, but out of respect for talent, he not only did not suppress him, but also bestowed great favors upon him.

Normally, after he does this, the other party will obediently submit.

But the Western Heaven War Emperor never expected that his plan, which he thought was perfect, would suffer a Waterloo as soon as it was launched.

Lin Dong's strength exceeded his expectations, and this Emperor of a Hundred Battles suffered his biggest defeat since his rise to power.

But what frustrated him even more was...

He had previously thought victory was assured, so he had asked the Ice Spirit Clan patriarch for the remnant soul of Lin Dong's wife.

Now, what was originally intended as a combination of kindness and severity has instead become the fuse that provokes Lin Dong.

Therefore, he was directly suppressed by Lin Dong on the Ice Spirit Continent!

Fortunately, the Western Heaven War Emperor possessed Chu Yang's "life-saving golden token," and crushed the wooden token the moment he was suppressed.

But no matter how long he waited, the Western Heaven War Emperor still hadn't seen Chu Yang arrive. This made him curse Chu Yang's entire family tree in his heart, and he became increasingly furious.

His attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly, and he was even betrayed by Chu Yang, making it arguably the darkest moment of his life.

He had made up his mind that once he escaped this predicament, he would expose Chu Yang's actions to the public.

He wasn't afraid of Chu Yang's retaliation, after all, what he said was true. If the other party made a move openly, Daqian Palace would not sit idly by!

But just as the Western Heaven War Emperor was feeling extremely frustrated and plotting how to take revenge on Chu Yang in the future, he suddenly discovered that the restriction that had been suppressing him had loosened.

The Western Heaven War Emperor was overjoyed. Could it be that someone had accidentally broken the restriction?

In this way, it might not be long before I can break through the seal!

Just as this thought arose in his mind, a terrifying aura suddenly swept over, and the restriction that had suppressed the Western Heaven War Emperor for several days vanished in an instant.

The Western Heaven War Emperor transformed into a streak of light and rose into the air, standing there looking around blankly, momentarily bewildered.

who is it?

But when he saw the figures not far away, his expression changed slightly.

Chu Yang?

Ice Spirit Ancestor?

And Lin Dong?

How did these three people end up together?

Could it be...?

The Western Heaven War Emperor's gaze finally settled on Chu Yang, and he felt a little awkward for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, it seems there is only one possibility...

That's because Chu Yang intervened, forcing Lin Dong to compromise and release him.

Recalling the greetings he had sent to Chu Yang in his mind and the ways he had planned his revenge, the Western Heaven War Emperor felt his face burning.

"Ahem... um... King Chu!"

The Western Heaven War Emperor coughed lightly, cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Yang, and then looked at Lin Dong with a sinister and angry gaze.

This feud is now officially established!

"Senior War Emperor, I have come here to fulfill my promise and repay a debt of gratitude!" Chu Yang said with a smile.

The Western Heaven War Emperor took a deep breath and said, "King Chu's word is his bond; he is truly admirable!"

Chu Yang added, "The reason I was delayed for several days is because many things have happened recently, and it has been difficult for me to get away. I hope Senior War Emperor will forgive me."

The Western Heaven War Emperor assumed it was just an excuse and didn't pay it any mind.

However, he had some reservations in his heart. When Chu Yang gave him the wooden plaque, he practically called it a "life-saving golden plaque."

But he waited for several days. If Lin Dong had killed him back then, his grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now!

At that moment, Chu Yang changed the subject, saying, "Of course, if it's a matter of life and death, I naturally won't hesitate..."

"The moment I learned about it, I realized it was a misunderstanding, so I took care of what I was doing before coming to help Senior Zhanhuang get out of trouble."

"Misunderstanding?" The Western Heaven War Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Dong and Ice Spirit Ancestor who were following behind Chu Yang, and vaguely understood something.

Lin Dong cupped his hands and said, "Senior War Emperor, I acted impulsively that day because I was so devoted to my wife. Please forgive me!"

"My ability to establish Martial Realm and achieve what I have today is all thanks to Brother Chu."

"Speaking of which, my Martial Realm can be considered a vassal force under the King of Chu!"

Chu Yang glanced at Lin Dong with some surprise. Although the Martial Realm had already been marked by him, it was far from being a subordinate.

Lin Dong said this probably partly to solidify the relationship between the two parties, and partly to save face for himself.

On the other hand, they probably intend to use this relationship to resolve the conflict with the Western Heaven War Emperor in one fell swoop.

"Is that so?" The Western Heaven War Emperor was somewhat bewildered.

So, he and the five ancient clans joined forces to target the emerging power, but he was the only one with the worst luck, kicking a hornet's nest?

"Not only that, the six most renowned emerging forces in the Great Thousand Realms are all under the command of King Chu!" said the Ice Spirit Ancestor as he flashed forward.

Immediately afterwards, he gave a brief overview of the recent events to the Western Heavenly War Emperor in a low voice.

Upon hearing that Chu Yang had led a large group of powerful figures to defeat the five ancient races so decisively that they were left helpless, and that Chu Yang had even brought out five primordial avatars to settle the matter, the Western Heaven War Emperor couldn't help but gasp in shock.

I've only been suppressed for a few days, so why do I suddenly feel like a great world is undergoing a dynastic change? (End of Chapter)
