Chapter 164: The War is settling.
Meanwhile,
"Emperor... The general has fallen," A soilder said while kneeling Infront of emperor.
Hearing this Emperor looked visibly confused at such a claim.
The strongest of his general was killed? That makes no sense.
"I knew it... That's why I said, we should carefully proceed," Minister Ren shouted with somewhat proud face giving no shit about the death of general.
"You little..." The emperor gets angry at minister and raises his finger.
In an instant the minister Ren was slaughtered.
The Audacity... It was clear that from the start Minister Ren was courting death.
"ughh... I see, it seems those bastards of Lowly sect must be using some demonic technique... Ah! Huh! That makes sense, otherwise how can they even beat my general..."
The emperor's ego didn't made him think that his general was weak.
He saw the member of flower bloosm sect as a devil, the one that worships the darkness and uses forbidden power.
"Send everyone... It's a imperial threat, send all grandmasters and Saints, we need to take down the devil worshipping sect," The emperor commanded while pointing his fingers at the soilder.
The soilder bowed deeply and rushed off to carry out the Emperor's orders not daring to stand there anymore.
He was about to shit his pants.
Within hours, the mightiest warriors of the empire began gathering... grandmasters whose very presence radiated power and those old saints who could destroy the mountains with a thought.
All had been summoned to put an end to the supposed "devil worshippers" of the Lowly sect.
However needless to say, none of them are capable of destroying the array.

Time passed by,
Xian Tian at the moment was looking at his daughters all together.
They were still young and couldn't walk properly.
Looking at them, he sighed as he knows damn well about the war that will happen within few days.
According to senior dragon, the emperor won't stand still and use all of his forces to wipe out the sect.
"It seems peace isn't an option,"
But Xian Tian wasn't scared, the barrier is strong and enchanted with multiple runes not to mention there is second array incase the first array formation barrier gets destroyed.
"Sect Master... We have a problem..." Xian Tian could hear a nervous voice of great elder.
"speak Great Elder..." He said while he was still inside the room.
"Huge problem!... Our sect has been marked as devilish sect, we are enemy of the entire empire now,"

The great elder uttered.
"Oh!?" Xian Tian was surprised but as expected of cowardly emperor.
Framing their sect as devil worshipping sect and letting the entire people of empire to be their enemies, what a dog shit.
But Xian Tian didn't thought of it as problems.
Xian Tian simply chuckled, his eyes holding a glint of amusement as he looked at the great elder who now entered the room.
"So, that emperor truly intends to brand us as villains? How convenient," he muttered.
"A coward's move, but this changes nothing, don't you think great elder..."
Gulp!
The great elder swallowed, surprised at the sect master's calm demeanor.
"Sect Master, we must prepare. The empire has summoned its strongest forces... the grandmasters and saints alike. Our scouts report that their army is converging, and it's only a matter of days before they reach us and wipe is out..."
Xian Tian nodded, turning back to gaze at his daughters who were blissfully unaware of the storm approaching.
"I anticipated as much," he said softly as if everyone was dancing under the palm of his hand.
"But they have underestimated us. Let them come. They'll find no foothold here,"
He rose slowly, his aura intensifying.
"Just to be safe... I will add two more additional array and add some more enchantment," Xian Tian said in a small tone.
To be honest, if those ancients saints above the grandmasters are also coming then the array formation might be easily crushed.
Like mentioned 99.99% of powerhouse can't break the array but those saints are that 0.01%.
After a few hours all the enchantment and back up arrays were completed.
"with this... The sect territory can defend itself on its own," Xian Tian thought to himself.
Haaah!
Xian Tian knew that the war was inevitable, the emperor was too proud and stubborn to back down now.
And yet, Xian Tian was not afraid.
But Xian Tian knew that the emperor would not stop there.
The emperor would keep sending wave after wave of soldiers, grandmasters, and saints until the sect was ground to dust.
It was only a matter of time.
However someone like Lady Fuyu or that woman who was following lady Fuyu, that bloody aura, can easily shattered the array.
Xian Tian looked at his daughters, so young and innocent, unaware of the storm that was about to descend upon them.
He knew that he would have to protect them, to keep them safe from the horrors of war.
He would have to make a choice.
The sect or his family.
If he stays in sect... His daughter would be soon used against him.
He was no omnipotent. He can protect himself but can't protect everyone around him.
But Xian Tian was a man who always had a plan. He would find a way to save both, to protect his loved ones and his home after all, he had to.
For now, all he could do was wait. Wait for the emperor's army to arrive, for the battle to begin. And when it did, he would be ready.
He would fight with everything he had, with all his strength and skill and cunning.
He would turn the sect into an impenetrable fortress, a bastion against the emperor's wrath.
And if that failed, if the emperor's power proved too great...
Xian Tian would take his daughters and run. He would flee into the wilderness, into the mountains and forests, and hide until the storm passed.
But that was a last resort. For now, he would stand firm, a bulwark against the tide of imperial might.
He would protect his sect.
No matter the cost.
Meanwhile, back in the imperial palace, the emperor was seething with rage.
The emperor's rage knew no bounds.
His general, his most loyal and powerful servant, had been cut down by the supposed "devil worshippers" of the Lowly Sect. It was an insult, a humiliation that he could not abide.
To make it clear, he was no gay or had any affection towards the bully hairy general.
He paced in his throne room, his robes billowing around him as he moved.
His advisors and courtiers cowered in fear, knowing that his wrath could fall upon them at any moment but inward they were happy that a weka sect will face the wrath.
"Those bastards!" he roared, his voice echoing off the stone walls. "How dare they defy me! How dare they kill my general! I want them dead... I want them dead... Deadddd!!!"
He slammed his fist on the arm of his throne, the gold cracking under the force of his blow.
He needed to make an example of the Lowly Sect, to show the entire empire that he would not tolerate such insolence.
At this time,
A figure slowly appeared behind the emperor.
"It's been long time little man..." The voice said.
"Gr-Grandpa...." the emperor uttered while instantly getting up from the throne in fear.
The Grandpa of emperor was also the one who had received the vision from Senic shadow orb.
He is one of those Yakxas.
And he can easily enter through the array formation.
"it seems you have created quite a fuss..." the Grandpa uttered while his handsome youtuful face was revealed.
He wasn't old at all... Well, not with apperance.
"umm... Uhhh... Grandpa, it's not that... Those devil worshipping sect has killed the general fang and slaughtered the imperial force, something needs to be done," He uttered.
However the Grandpa was cold and didn't listen much.
Slapppp!!!
A loud slap echoed through the rooms.
"Don't be stupid little boy... You are my blood that's why I am sparing you, don't try to fight that sect, at the moment two Yakxas are there and few more people who are on same level as Yakxas..." the Grandpa uttered with a bloody tone.
"Hurry up and clear the name of sect and go apologize to them, I don't want any problems..." Grandpa added.
"Two Yakxas and few more people who hold same level of power as Yakxas... B-But, Grandpa, they are merely a bronze rank sect," Young dumb emperor hurriedly spoke up.
"listen... Don't teach me my stuff and do as I say," saying that the Grandpa vanished from the scene as of he was never there.
"hhhhh" The emperor hummed as he sucked his thumb.
"This old man... Geez*" The emperor was still not ready to back down however the fear of Yakxas was still there.
Yakxas are powerful figure even above saints, not to mention they all posses unique and powerful ability.
