Chapter 1931  Chapter 517: Heavenly Dao Banner Raised, Manifestation Reflects the Thousand Clans of the Southern Domain (Part 6)

"They plan to retreat at the last minute, all within this banner."

Li Hao stated simply, condemning those people with a single sentence.

"This..."

Chi Li and Chu Beiming, among others, were stunned, looking at the Divine Banner in Li Hao's hand, vaguely sensing the immense power contained within; could it be that those people were all refined?

"Sword Heart, the Southern Domain is vast. When your Heavenly Palace was stationed here earlier, how did you transmit orders immediately to all parties?"

Li Hao asked Sword Heart.

Sword Heart immediately understood Li Hao's meaning and said, "In the Southern Domain, we of the Heavenly Palace have established Little Heavenly Courts within all the clans and the Immortal Dynasty. Within these courts, we have built a Heaven-Reaching Array that, after consuming a certain amount of Immortal Stones, can instantly transmit messages to the Heavenly Palace, avoiding any delays in military opportunity. However, to relay messages from the Heavenly Palace to all Little Heavenly Courts, we need my master's Heavenly Emperor Order."

As he spoke, he turned his palm over, revealing a token glowing with silver light in his palm.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor Order."

Li Hao let out a sigh of relief; perhaps the opposing side had left in a hurry or wanted to save face, not destroying this line of communication. Otherwise, contacting each one individually would have cost him a lot of effort.

"Good, immediately command all clans in the Southern Domain, informing them that we have arrived, gathering their war forces swiftly and following orders. Those who do not comply shall be executed!"

Li Hao instructed.

"At your command." Sword Heart nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

He then turned and went into the Heavenly Palace, activating the Heavenly Emperor Order to contact all directions.

Meanwhile, Li Hao spoke to Dao Qingyin and Long Zhan Tian beside him, "First, guide the two clans over. As for the Immortal Stones consumed... Dao Qingyin, your Dao Clan should bear more for now, and after slaying the Ancient Demon, we will compensate your Dao Clan with the rewards."

Dao Qingyin shook her head, "Who could have expected such shamelessness from the Heavenly Palace? At this point, this is all we can do. As for compensation, let's not mention it. We are a community, and my Dao Clan must do our utmost!"

Hearing her words, Li Hao felt somewhat comforted and then collaborated with Dao Qingyin to set up a Transmission Anchor Point beside them.

Once the anchor point was set up, Dao Qingyin also contacted the Dao Clan and began the transmission.

On the other side, Su Wanyi requested permission from Shi Miao to go and receive her family first.

Shi Miao worried about an attack on the way and wanted to accompany her, but Li Hao didn't let her go. Instead, he arranged ten other Immortal Kings at Immortal King Realm Perfection to accompany Su Wanyi.

"Heavenly King Hao Tian, we have already discussed it. Does this strategy seem feasible to you?"

At this moment, the many Immortal Kings who were discussing defense also provided an answer, and Guan Xing Immortal King respectfully asked Li Hao.

Li Hao glanced at the many defense lines they had etched on the Southern Domain Geomantic Chart, marking ambush locations and various modifications, and his eyes gleamed slightly. These layouts were even better than what he had thought of. Indeed, brainstorming together, talented people abound in the world, and one should not underestimate others.

"Good, this plan will be temporarily set."

Li Hao nodded, and then felt a surge of thick energy. Suddenly, large patches of white light emerged from the adjacent Teleportation Array, and many Immortal Kings swept out.

These Immortal Kings had similar accessories, all inscribed with Dao patterns, indicating they were powerful figures from the Dao Clan.

Seeing Dao Qingyin beside the formation, many Dao Clan Immortal Kings saluted one after another.

Dao Qingyin dared not neglect them; many of these Immortal Kings were elders from her Dao Clan, some having watched her grow up. She brought them before Li Hao.

Before she could introduce them, these Dao Clan Immortal Kings all paid their respects to Li Hao.

Despite being in the Abyss during the previous True King selection, the world had long recognized his rule.

Hearing the Dao Clan Immortal Kings' words of praise, Li Hao waved his hand slightly and said, "With war upon us, there's no need for formalities. Dao Qingyin, please brief them on the situation in the Southern Domain."

Dao Qingyin understood Li Hao's intent and immediately explained the current situation in the Southern Domain to the numerous Dao Clan Immortal Kings, as well as the despicable tactics of the Heavenly Palace.

After hearing Dao Qingyin's explanation, the numerous Dao Clan Immortal Kings were stunned. Noticing the uninhabited peaks of the Heavenly Palace, they felt both shocked and outraged.

"This Southern Domain Venerable is utterly shameless!"

"Seven hundred Immortal Kings rushing to aid the Outer Realm, abandoning their Southern Domain, what kind of righteousness is this?!"

"Rumor has it that the Southern Domain Venerable had a dispute with Heavenly King Hao Tian before. Who would have thought this grudge would continue to this day? This Southern Domain Venerable, as an Emperor, has such a petty mind and is so callous!"

Some Dao Clan's Immortal Kings had heard of the previous Pride of Heaven Battle involving the Southern Domain. After all, that incident had even compelled the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor to act. Although their Dao Clan was not in the Southern Domain, they had received news of it.

"I see."

Long Zhan Tian, upon hearing of this matter, showed an expression of sudden realization. Previously, he was in secluded cultivation in the clan, unaware of this gossip. Now, he felt even more indignant. An Emperor of such stature, taking action against a junior in the True Immortal Realm, it was bad enough; now, they were resorting to such disgraceful acts.

"Isn't it said that an Emperor should have an immaculate Tao Heart? How can they be so petty? It's a disgrace to the title of Emperor!"

One of the Dao Clan's Immortal Kings said indignantly.

Their Dao Clan was the second strongest clan in the True Realm, with three Emperors in the clan, unafraid of the Southern Domain Venerable unless all three were defeated and perished, with the Southern Domain Venerable returning alive. But such a possibility was minimal.

"Let's not bring up this matter anymore. Now that the Southern Domain Heavenly Palace is just an empty husk, war needs an abundance of Immortal Stones. Elders, can we transport our Dao Clan's Immortal Stones and Divine Vein here?"

Dao Qingyin asked.

Hearing Dao Qingyin's words, the numerous Dao Clan Immortal Kings looked at each other in silence for a moment.

But soon, an elder with white hair stroked his beard and said, "Let us spare no cost to hold the Southern Domain. If the Southern Domain falls and affects other great domains, causing a chain reaction leading to trouble in the True Realm, and even the decline of the Primordial True Realm, it would be more disadvantageous to us. Every expense and outcome of the battle will be discussed after the war. I trust Heavenly King Hao Tian will not wrong our Dao Clan and believe there is still justice in this world!"
