Terran Guardian - Chapter 4148

Chapter 4123 A Rare Opportunity

“Elder Jun, a great victory at Tianshui Immortal City!”

A cultivator rushed in from within an immortal city, his face beaming with joy.

Jun Tiannan frowned slightly: “Didn’t Tianshui Immortal City just fall? What’s there to celebrate?”

Not long ago, many immortal cities fell, and he had already sent people to gather information, eventually learning that Tianshui Immortal City was among the fallen cities.

Now, hearing news of good news from Tianshui Immortal City, Jun Tiannan naturally didn’t believe it.

“Elder Nangong sent a message that the Seven Profound Dao Sect has come to our aid. Among them, the sect leader, Shen Changqing, has killed Li Fenkong of the Yanyang Realm, helping us reclaim Tianshui Immortal City.”

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

Upon hearing this, Jun Tiannan’s expression finally changed.

“Li Fenkong attained enlightenment in ancient times and was a Six Tribulation Half-Saint. The sect leader of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was able to kill Li Fenkong; his strength is indeed extraordinary!”

Yuan Xun, standing to the side, was also somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

Although he had heard before that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had destroyed the Taiwei Realm, their strength was not to be underestimated.

However, he was still quite surprised to learn that the other party had killed Li Fenkong.

After all,

Li Fenkong’s strength was undeniable.

A sixth-tribulation half-saint of the ancient righteous path.

Not everyone had the qualifications to kill him.

Defeating him

and killing him

were two different concepts.

Jun Tiannan immediately slammed his hand on the table and said, “Good, killing Li Fenkong and reclaiming Tianshui Immortal City is a great achievement. Where is that Xuan Tian Sword Master now?”

“He is in Tianshui Immortal City. In addition, Elder Nangong said that the array eye of Tianshui Immortal City is damaged and needs to be repaired.”

“Good, I already know about this matter. You may leave now!”

Jun Tiannan waved his hand, his smile becoming more pronounced.

The arrival of the Seven Profound Dao Sect and the news of the recapture of Tianshui Immortal City had dispelled much of the gloom that had been weighing on his heart these past few days.

Since the two forces went to war and the Yan Yang Realm army pressed in, Jun Tiannan, as the strongman guarding the Emperor’s Falling Star, had also been under considerable pressure.

If the Emperor’s Falling Star were to fall,

he would be held responsible.

Although Jun Tiannan withstood the pressure from the Yan Yang Realm thanks to the formation of the Emperor’s Meteor Star,

he knew very well that the formation could only hold out temporarily, not forever.

Moreover,

the Yan Yang Realm had clearly been prepared, secretly collaborating with other cultivators to break through the formation from within, leaving it incomplete.

This

made the situation even more dire.

To be honest, Jun Tiannan was prepared for a bloody battle.

After all, if one immortal city after another fell, one day the formation would completely fail, and at that time, they would have no choice but to fight the Yan Yang Realm with all their resources.

Now,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s reinforcements had arrived.

Although Jun Tiannan had never actually met Shen Changqing, judging from the fact that the latter had destroyed the Taiwei Realm and killed Li Fenkong, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

Having such a powerful figure on their side would greatly increase their chances of victory.

Besides,

the cultivators who had arrived this time were likely not just a simple Xuan Tian Sword Master.

And indeed, they were.

Not long after, news began to arrive from various immortal cities, indicating that reinforcements from the Seven Profound Dao Sect had arrived to salvage the situation.

Upon learning this, Jun Tiannan abandoned his usual defensive approach and immediately mobilized all the half-saints within the city, preparing for a direct counterattack.

“As far as I know, the Yan Yang Realm has committed a considerable force this time: one ninth-tribulation half-saint, two eighth-tribulation half-saints, and one seventh-tribulation half-saint, along with twenty-three half-saints below the seventh tribulation level. With

the formation now incomplete and the Yan Yang Realm’s advance overwhelming, a purely defensive strategy will ultimately fail to break the deadlock.

Therefore, I intend to take advantage of the arrival of the Seven Profound Dao Sect to launch a direct counterattack against the Yan Yang Realm.

We will strive to recapture all the fallen immortal cities in the shortest possible time!”

Jun Tiannan’s words elicited various reactions from the other half-saints. After

a long pause…

A half-saint, his expression grave, said in a deep voice, “The Yan Yang Realm is powerful. Even with the addition of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, a direct confrontation would likely not guarantee victory.

To launch a war at this time is, in my opinion, far too risky!”

“Elder Tianheng is right. Elder Jun, shouldn’t you reconsider?”

Yuan Xun’s expression was also grave; he too harbored some reservations about taking the initiative.

Upon hearing this, Jun Tiannan glanced at Yuan Xun, then at Tianheng, and then his gaze swept over the other half-saints.

“Do you all share the same view?”

“Elder Tianheng’s words are not without merit. Now that the Seven Profound Dao Sect has appeared, even if we defend with formations, the Yan Yang Realm will find it difficult to gain the upper hand.

To attack at this time, if even one person makes a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable!” “I believe this matter should be carefully

considered before proceeding!”

One half-saint after another spoke up; they, like Tianheng, did not want to take the initiative. Jun Tiannan took a deep breath, his expression serious: “The outcome of the battle in the Donghua Immortal Realm is still uncertain. If we continue to drag this out with the Yanyang Realm, we will have no way out should anything happen on the Donghua Immortal Realm battlefield. If we can defeat the Yanyang Realm first and regain control of the Emperor’s Fallen Star, even if the Donghua Immortal Realm faces problems, we will still have options.” “Moreover—” “The best offense is defense!” “Instead of passively resisting the invasion of the Yanyang Realm, why don’t we take the initiative? Relying on array defenses will ultimately be difficult to break the deadlock. The Yanyang Realm was able to use those traitors to break through many immortal cities, leaving their arrays incomplete, so they can do it a second and third time.” “Right now, the arrival of the Seven Profound Dao Sect has greatly increased our strength. That Xuan Tian Sword Master was able to kill Li Fenkong, so his strength is at least comparable to an Eight Tribulation Half-Saint. With another top expert like him, if we launch a counterattack, we will have at least a 70% chance of winning!” Hearing Jun Tiannan’s words, the Half-Saints present all had different expressions. Just then… Jun Tiannan said again, “In addition… the news of the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s support cannot be kept secret. If we wait until the Flame Sun Realm reacts and another powerful force presses in, our only advantage will be completely lost.”

” The Seven Profound Dao Sect has arrived just in time, weakening the strength of the Flame Sun Realm ahead of time.

If we don’t act now, and miss this opportunity, it will be too late for regrets.

You have cultivated for billions of years, step by step, to reach where you are today. Did you rely on nothing more than compromise and appeasement?”

The last sentence resounded like a great bell in the minds of the many half-saints, shaking their spirits.

After a long while,

Tianheng sighed, his face ashamed: “Elder Jun’s words have cleared the clouds and revealed the moon to me. Indeed, this is the best time.

Before the Flame Sun Realm can react, we should seize the opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop!

I have no objection to this matter!”

Seeing Tianheng agree, the other half-saints who had been wavering now had firm expressions.

“I have no objection!”

“Everything is up to Elder Jun’s arrangements!”

Seeing this, Jun Tiannan finally smiled.
