Chapter 443
He knew that once this war began, the people were destined to be plunged into misery and suffering. Countless people would become homeless.
However, this war was unavoidable. If someone like Huangfu Wuji unified the continent, that would be the true end of the world.
He did not want blood to flow like rivers. The only thing he could do was minimize casualties.
As long as Lanchu was around, many of the factions loyal to the Ji Clan in the Central Plains would stand on his side, weakening Huangfu Wuji's strength.
Even the attitude of the people of the nine provinces toward the five-race alliance would change. They would no longer see them as invaders, which would save them a lot of trouble.
The Central Plains had always been the center of the Kunlun Continent. The cultivation civilization there was the most flourishing. They were also the strongest, strong enough to resist the alliance of the four regions.
Under such circumstances, Lanchu's existence was too important.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Star Sect has sent news from Baijing Mansion."
Killing God Azure Qilin came to Gu Chen's side and said, interrupting Gu Chen's thoughts.
"Senior, I've already said that there's no need to call me that."
Gu Chen smiled bitterly.
"Rules cannot be broken. It's fine to call you Gu Chen in private, but not in front of others."
Killing God Azure Qilin shook his head.
Gu Chen did not dwell on this matter anymore. He was excited by Killing God Azure Qilin's news.
"Zhao Rou and the others are quite efficient. They managed to integrate the Whale League so quickly?"
"There are many people from the Heavenly Star Sect under you. They solved a lot of problems for us in Baijing Mansion. That Whale League Alliance Master Chou Feiyang is quite interesting. When he heard that you became the Heavenly Emperor, he took the initiative to lead the Whale League's sects to surrender. He wants to join my Celestial Court's army no matter what. "
Killing God Azure Qilin joked.
"The Whale League is a complicated place. Be careful of spies from the Underworld God Palace."
Gu Chen reminded.
"Don't worry. Are you worried about your own subordinates? I think they're doing quite well. "
Killing God Azure Qilin rarely praised others. "Now that Baijing Mansion has been integrated, we can start arranging for the Celestial Court, the Ghost Race, and the Fiend Race's armies to be stationed there. We'd better prepare before Huangfu Wuji's army arrives."
Gu Chen nodded. From now on, Baijing Prefecture was destined to become a strategic location that would influence the future of the entire continent.
…
"We greet the Sect Leader!"
On Mount Yunwu of Heavenly Star Sect, Xue Qian and the other elders of Heavenly Star Sect said excitedly as soon as Gu Chen walked into Yunyue Restaurant.
Ever since the return of the Seven Saintesses, Baijing Prefecture had undergone a drastic change.
Initially, they didn't quite believe the Holy Maidens when they said that the Sect Master had ordered them to reorganize Baijing Prefecture.
After all, Baijing Prefecture had always been a lawless area for many years. No force had ever been able to truly unify this place.
Although Gu Chen founded the Heaven Star Sect, he was not in the sect most of the time. Therefore, many elders and disciples in the sect did not know much about him. They did not even know how powerful he was.
After the Seven Saintesses united the entire Whale Alliance in the shortest time possible, the army of assassins from the Celestial Court, the one million Corpse Soldiers from the Ghost Clan, and the Demon Clan's army from the South Mountains moved into Baijing Prefecture one after another. Only then did everyone in Heavenly Star Sect realize how impressive their Sect Leader was.
Not only was he the Sect Leader of Heavenly Star Sect, but he was also the true leader of the Whale Alliance. He was also the overlord who had triggered the Stars in Daytime. He was even the Celestial Emperor of the Dark World!
Each of these titles was more important than the last. When Xue Qian and the other elders faced the powerful cultivators from various clans, they immediately straightened their backs and felt honored.
Heavenly Star Sect was founded by Gu Chen himself. After Baijing Prefecture was confirmed to be a strategic location for the allied forces, Mount Yunwu became a holy land.
This was the residence of the commander-in-chief of the alliance. It was the seat of the highest authority. It was destined to go down in history!
Xue Qian and the other elders of the Smoke Cloud Sect had never imagined that the once small Mount Yunwu would become the focus of the entire world.
"No need to be so polite. The troops from various clans have been arriving these days. You will be in charge of their accommodation and food.
Thank you for your hard work, "Gu Chen said gently.
Xue Qian had been by his side for a long time. He had always played the role of a housekeeper in Heavenly Star Sect. He was the one who took care of almost all the trivial matters.
If Huang Pingzhang, Yuchi Zhong, and the seven women were the important combat power of Heavenly Star Sect, then Xue Qian was the important rear. It was because of people like him that the others could fight on the frontlines without any worries.
During these days, a large number of troops had entered the territory of Heavenly Star Sect. Xue Qian was in charge of all the food and clothing. Hearing that he had done a good job, Gu Chen could not help but praise him and reward him with some elixirs.
Xue Qian and the other elders could not help but become more excited after receiving Gu Chen's praise. They secretly decided to perform well.
In terms of cultivation, they could not even be compared to some ordinary soldiers in the allied forces. However, they could provide them with endless support.
Xue Qian and the others left after reporting various trivial matters to Gu Chen. Shortly after, assassins from the Celestial Court, generals from the Devil Clan, and emissaries from the Stone Clan came to visit one after another.
As the commander-in-chief of the five clans, Gu Chen was extremely busy these days.
He could not stop, and he did not even have time to rest. He had to understand all the important information that came from all over the continent.
After all, he had officially declared war with Huangfu Wuji. Both sides were racing against time to mobilize their troops. Now, it was a competition of who could do it better and faster.
When Gu Chen finished receiving the last emissary from the Stone Clan, it was already late at night. He was also a little tired.
"Integrating the armies of the various clans is really not an easy task. It is even more tiring than a life and death battle."
When the surroundings finally quieted down, Gu Chen heaved a sigh.
If he could, he would rather be a cultivator who wholeheartedly pursued the peak of cultivation. He would not have to deal with so many thorny problems like now.
It was just that fate had pushed him to his current position. He was duty-bound and could only do his best.
"This little guy is so blessed. He has been sleeping for so many days."
Gu Chen checked the Beast Raising Bag in his free time. He was starting to miss White Ape.
White Ape had been asleep for a period of time. Now, his body was completely covered in colorful crystal chips. He looked like a colorful egg.
Gu Chen did not know what kind of changes he was going through, but he could see that he was breathing slowly. There shouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing that White Ape was still sleeping soundly, Gu Chen also stretched his body and planned to rest for a while.
At this time, outside the Yunyue Restaurant, another guest arrived.
"Forget it. It seems like there is no time to rest tonight."
Gu Chen shook his head and ordered someone to let the guest in.
The guest was a thin and beautiful young girl. Beside her was a green cow.
The moment she stepped through the door, Gu Chen's eyes could not move away!
The young girl's beauty was no less than before. It was just that she was a little thinner. There was a hint of melancholy between her brows.
When she saw Gu Chen, her eyes involuntarily turned red.
Gu Chen stood up abruptly. His heart was surging with emotions!
When they parted in the past, he never thought that things would remain the same but people would change. He also never thought that he would almost be separated by life and death.
