Chapter 664: Yu Zidi allies
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Indeed, In one swift sweep, Yu Zidi’s forces were pushed onto the defensive.The once orderly imperial army was steadily collapsing under the relentless assault of Yu Feiyan’s force.
Every passing moment brought heavier casualties.
Victory seemed to be slipping further and further away.
However, Yu Zidi’s expression remained remarkably composed.
He was not without other preparations.
Quietly, he circulated his Qi and transmitted a message toward two distant groups seated among the honored guests.
Clan Leader Li!
Clan Leader Zhao!
Right now, he wanted to keep those foreign delegations a secret when dealing with the Bai Clan.
The Bai Clan...
That was the true obstacle standing before his path to becoming Emperor.
As for Yu Feiyan’s forces, Yu Zidi had never considered them worthy of deploying every one of his hidden cards.
The Li-Zhao Alliance alone should have been more than sufficient to suppress them.
After all, both clans had brought numerous experts today.
Combined with their allied forces, turning the tide of the battlefield should have been an effortless task.
Thus, to Yu Zidi, this battle was already as good as won.
His real concern had never been Yu Feiyan.
It was Bai Zihan.
It was the Bai Clan.
Only after eliminating every one of Yu Feiyan’s supporters would he reveal his remaining strength and force the Bai Clan into submission.
That had always been his plan.
However, several breaths passed.
Nothing happened.
Yu Zidi’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
There was no reply.
Neither Clan Leader Li nor Clan Leader Zhao responded to his transmission.
Even more strangely, neither clan showed the slightest intention of joining the battle.
Their experts remained quietly seated.
Their expressions were calm, as though the fierce battle unfolding before them had nothing to do with them at all.
Yu Zidi’s pupils narrowed slightly.
(What’s going on? Why aren’t they moving?)
He immediately sent another transmission.
Still...
Silence!
The Li Clan remained motionless.
The Zhao Clan did the same.
Not a single cultivator stepped forward.
Yu Zidi immediately sent another transmission.
"Clan Leader Li! Clan Leader Zhao! Why are you still sitting there? Move at once!"
His voice carried an unmistakable hint of urgency.
Yet...
Nothing.
No response.
No acknowledgment.
The Li Clan remained seated.
The Zhao Clan did the same.
It was as though they had never received his message.
Yu Zidi’s calm expression finally began to crack.
His brows gradually knitted together.
He couldn’t understand it.
Everything had already been agreed upon beforehand.
The Li-Zhao Alliance was supposed to intervene the moment the situation became unfavorable.
Why were they refusing to move now?
Did something happen?
Or...
Had they changed their minds?
Yu Zidi instinctively rejected the latter possibility.
Neither clan had any reason to betray him.
They would only profit after helping him, becoming even more prominent clans.
He gritted his teeth.
Although countless questions filled his mind, he no longer had the luxury of finding answers.
Yu Feiyan’s forces were advancing at an alarming pace.
The Imperial Guards were steadily being pushed backward.
Several defensive lines had already collapsed.
If this continued, the enemy would soon reach the ceremonial platform itself.
There was no longer any point in hiding his remaining trump cards.
With a gloomy expression, Yu Zidi circulated his qi once more.
This time, his spiritual transmission spread toward every foreign delegation present within the Imperial Palace.
The Tianyu Empire!
The Vermillion Pill Empire!
The Azure Cloud Empire!
And every other empire that had secretly reached an agreement with him.
"Everyone... it’s time."
Upon receiving Yu Zidi’s message, the various foreign delegations subtly frowned.
Their expressions became somewhat displeased.
This...
Was not what they had agreed upon.
Their agreement with Yu Zidi had always been clear.
Their purpose was to help suppress the Bai Clan.
Not to involve themselves in Yu Zidi’s struggle against Yu Feiyan.
After all, the internal conflict of the Desolate Heaven Empire had little to do with them.
Helping Yu Zidi seize the throne was merely a convenient byproduct.
The Bai Clan...
That was their true objective.
Several delegation leaders exchanged silent glances.
Although dissatisfied, none openly refused.
Before leaving their respective empires, each of them had received the same instruction from their emperors.
Cooperate with Yu Zidi as much as possible...
...provided it did not harm their own interests.
Now that Yu Zidi had personally requested their assistance, ignoring him outright was no longer an option.
The various foreign delegations quickly reached a decision.
If Yu Zidi fell here, then every arrangement they had painstakingly made over the past months would become meaningless.
Their true objective had always been the Bai Clan.
However, without Yu Zidi ascending the throne, they would lose their greatest ally within the Desolate Heaven Empire.
Although reluctant...
They had little choice but to act.
Whoosh!
One figure after another rose into the air.
Experts from the Tianyu Empire...
The Vermillion Pill Empire...
The Azure Cloud Empire...
And the other allied empires slowly stepped onto the battlefield.
The sudden appearance of so many powerful experts immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
However, none of them immediately attacked.
Instead, Elder Fu stepped forward first.
He cupped his fists toward Yu Qingya and Yu Feiyan.
"Princesses."
His tone was calm and courteous.
"This is an internal affair of the Desolate Heaven Empire. Our various empires have no desire to interfere."
The white-haired elder from the Vermillion Pill Empire also nodded.
"Indeed. We merely hope both sides can give us some face. After all, today was meant to be a joyous occasion."
"If possible, postpone your conflict until after the foreign delegations have departed. Otherwise..."
He paused briefly.
"We may have no choice but to intervene in order to preserve order."
His words immediately made many onlookers nod inward.
That sounded perfectly reasonable.
After all...
Why should foreign guests become involved in another empire’s internal struggle?
From their perspective, it was only natural to ask both sides to stop fighting until they had left.
Many spectators even felt the foreign delegations were acting quite fairly.
However...
Yu Qingya merely let out a cold scoff.
"Give you face?"
Her eyes scanned the various foreign experts with undisguised contempt.
"Stop pretending. We already know about the shady deal between all of you and Yu Zidi."
The moment those words fell...
Many expressions changed slightly.
However, the delegation leaders remained astonishingly calm.
Not a trace of panic appeared on their faces.
Elder Fu frowned slightly.
"Fourth Princess. I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
The white-haired elder also calmly shook his head.
"It seems you’ve misunderstood something. We merely wish to prevent unnecessary bloodshed."
The others likewise wore expressions of complete innocence.
Anyone who did not know the truth would genuinely believe they were impartial mediators.
Yu Qingya’s eyes turned colder.
"You really are shameless. But it doesn’t matter."
She had never expected them to confess it in public.
After all, doing so would only disgrace both themselves and Yu Zidi.
Without wasting another word on them, Yu Qingya suddenly raised her hand.
"Continue the attack! Anyone who stands in our way..."
"Is an enemy!"
Boom!
At her command, Yu Feiyan’s forces erupted once more.
The Earth Immortal Realm experts charged forward without the slightest hesitation, treating the newly arrived foreign experts no differently than Yu Zidi’s own forces.
Foreign delegations frowned upon hearing Yu Qingya’s uncompromising response.
They had already offered a way for both sides to back down gracefully.
Yet Yu Qingya had rejected it without the slightest hesitation.
Since that was the case...
There was nothing more to say.
Boom!
One terrifying aura after another erupted.
The strongest experts from every foreign delegation immediately soared into the sky.
The Tianyu Empire moved first.
The Vermillion Pill Empire closely followed.
Then came the Azure Cloud Empire.
One Earth Immortal...
Two...
Three...
The number continued to rise.
Each imperial delegation had dispatched four or five Earth Immortal Realm experts for the coronation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled.
The terrifying pressure generated by so many Earth Immortal Realm experts instantly swept across the Imperial Palace.
In a flash, the entire situation had been overturned.
Originally, Yu Feiyan’s side possessed the absolute advantage.
But now...
Everything was different.
The Heaven Suppression Sect.
The Crimson Thunder Palace.
The Frost Lily Pavilion.
Together, they possessed only three Earth Immortal Realm experts.
Even including Xuande, there were merely four Earth Immortals present on the battlefield.
Meanwhile...
The foreign delegations alone had dispatched well over ten Earth Immortal Realm experts.
The difference in strength was simply too enormous.
It wasn’t something that could be bridged through strategy or courage.
Many people subconsciously looked toward Yu Feiyan’s camp.
Could they withstand such a terrifying lineup?
The answer was obvious.
No!
They couldn’t.
Against more than ten Earth Immortal Realm experts...
Three Earth Immortals stood no chance whatsoever.
The advantage Yu Feiyan had painstakingly established vanished almost instantly.
The smiles on Yu Zidi’s face, however, became increasingly brilliant.
Although the Li-Zhao Alliance had unexpectedly refused to act, the foreign delegations had ultimately stepped forward.
With such an overwhelming disparity in strength...
He could no longer imagine any possible way for Yu Feiyan to turn the tables.
