Chapter 1822: Chapter 478: Drawing the Sword with a Decaying Body

The catastrophe in the Eastern Domain has spread.

Adjacent in the Northern Domain, the Gusu Emperor Star.

Many major clans in the Northern Domain have heard the news from the Eastern Domain, receiving requests for assistance from the Ancestor Dragon Court and a projection from Jianlong Pass.

In the projection from Jianlong Pass, they saw two Great Emperors step forth from the Ancient Demons, destroying Jianlong Pass. Desolation reigns, countless warriors of the Eastern Domain embrace certain death, creating an opportunity for the Candle Dragon Emperor and other warriors to flee, leaving the ancient fortress, which stands for countless ages, to be submerged in the ruins of broken walls by the Ancient Demons.

"The Ancient Demon King Clan of the Eastern Domain has actually united!"

"Ancestor, you’ve mentioned unease lately; could it be due to this event?"

"The Eastern Domain is about to change; after years of stalemate, could this be the beginning of breaking the deadlock?"

"Should we dispatch reinforcements?"

"Our situation in the Northern Domain is already bleak, where is there any strength left to reinforce the Eastern Domain? These damn Demons think aiding the Ancient Demons will earn them territory in the Northern Domain—ridiculous."

"The situation is dire, yet reinforcements are necessary; the Eastern Domain is in more urgent need than we are here!"

"For our Lan family, let your second uncle lead the troops to aid them."

"We’ve reported to our Jiang family ancestor; awaiting instructions."

"Message the Su family and the Lin family; summon them for discussions!"

The news spread, and the major clans in the Northern Domain connected to deliberate this rescue mission for the Eastern Domain.

"A hundred thousand years..."

In the land where peach blossoms bloom, fragrant yet shadowed by decay, on the hillside, clad in a snow-white robe, like a dust-covered traveler amidst blossoms, Su Jiuzhe, too, heard the ill news from the Eastern Domain.

The dragon’s roar from the Ancestor Dragon Court echoed on this hillside of peach blossoms, recounting the anguish of the Eastern Domain.

"Zhenyuan."

Su Jiuzhe called softly.

Moments later, a silhouette sped forth from the Light Emperor Hall, scaling the hill swiftly like a ghostly shadow, coming behind this Su family Ancestor, bowing deeply:

"Ancestor."

"Continue to guard the Northern Domain; I will personally take a trip to the Eastern Domain."

Su Jiuzhe raised the gourd to drink but found it empty, shook it a couple of times, and tossed it aside.

"Ancestor, are you personally going?"

Su Zhenyuan’s steady face was now undeniably filled with great alarm.

He is the Su family’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle, stationed in the Northern Domain and a trump card there. If he sets off for the Eastern Domain, then the Northern Domain...

"No matter, contact the Lin family and the Jiang family; those two old fellows should awaken."

Su Jiuzhe said with a calm expression.

Su Zhenyuan froze, his face becoming exceedingly complex and said: "Ancestor, that’s a matter of the Eastern Domain; even if we dispatch reinforcements, we can send others from our clan. You personally going, isn’t that too..."

"Too what?"

Su Jiuzhe’s eyes turned, glancing at him.

Upon seeing Su Zhenyuan’s complex expression, he suddenly became fierce: "What is reinforcement; reinforcement is when you channel all remaining strength out while ensuring some remains within yourself!"

"You think reinforcing the Eastern Domain is just for show? If the Eastern Domain falls, the Ancient Demons will rise, engulfing every domain in the True Realm, and other domains will face obliteration!"

Su Zhenyuan, overwhelmed by his Emperor’s Might, found himself frozen in place, unable to speak.

He naturally knew the significance of this reinforcement, but the importance of Su Jiuzhe to the Su family was even greater!

After reprimanding him, noticing Su Zhenyuan’s disgruntled look, Su Jiuzhe’s fierce gaze softened slightly. How could he not know the thoughts of this blood-related youngster in his heart? He sighed:

"With Jiang and Lin at the helm in the Northern Domain, there’s no immediate threat. The Ancient Demon Clan is surely not fully united; at most, a few Royal Families conspire together. Should they break through in this attack on the Eastern Domain, other Ancient Demon King Clans will witness the advantage and temporarily unite to attack other domains."

"My already decaying body, rather than rot in the Northern Domain, why not break through from here!"

His gaze became solemn, as he earnestly said: "Not only will I go to the Eastern Domain, but I will also let the entire Northern Domain know of my mission!"

Su Zhenyuan froze, looking at him in bewilderment and shock, unable to comprehend the Ancestor’s intentions.

Su Jiuzhe stood, his tall, snow-white figure like an unparalleled Sword Emperor, emanating an aura of supremacy:

"Many think as you do, wavering, hesitating, weighing interests—this is humanity, it’s normal. What I, Su Jiuzhe, must do is let others know that the Su family will unleash the heavy sword as reinforcement, that it is I, Su Jiuzhe, who will be the sword uniting the Four Domains!!"

Hearing this, Su Zhenyuan was completely shaken.

He understood the Ancestor’s intention—to set a personal example, allowing other major clans to see the resolve of this reinforcement.

"Ancestor..."

Su Zhenyuan trembled slightly, filled with uncontrollable excitement and sorrow. If everyone in the world were like Su Jiuzhe, what fear would the Ancient Demon Clan impose?

But in this world, there’s only one Su Jiuzhe, unique indeed!

"Zhenyuan, guard the Northern Domain well!"

Su Jiuzhe said, looking deeply at Su Zhenyuan.

At this moment, Su Zhenyuan would no longer attempt persuasion, he bowed deeply, like a mountain, kneeling on the ground, he acclaimed:

"The Su family bloodline bids farewell to the Ancestor as he heads to war in the Eastern Domain!!"

His words, filled with sorrow, heroism, and grandeur, sent the peach blossoms flying, resonated from the ancestral grounds, throughout the Su family estate, and across the Gusu Emperor Star!

The Ancestor said, not only will he go, but he will let everyone know of the Su family’s support!

Since that is so, Su Zhenyuan also keeps nothing back.
