I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1538 - 738: Ready for Battle! Ready for Battle! (3)

The news of the demon invasion once again shook the entire Central Plains, causing some to panic, others to be enraged, and some to be bold and spirited, preparing everything to resist the demons in South State.

Some had anticipated this day long ago, ever since the death of Nangong Lie, and they mocked Chen Yuan for his current predicament, thinking he's overestimating himself, utterly foolish.

This time, facing the demons, let's see if he survives!

Some forces even considered taking advantage of Chen Yuan gathering his main force in South State to attack Shuzhou, plunder its resources, and break his retreat.

But before they could act, they received a declaration from Chen Yuan.

Simply put, it was one sentence.

If anyone dares to launch a sneak attack while he battles the demons, don't blame him for unleashing everything, bringing the demon soldiers into the Central Plains, and at any cost, wiping out your entire family!

Such a statement immediately aroused a lot of anger from many forces, as it was akin to stepping on their faces, repeatedly humiliating them in the process.

It's like a group of ordinary people fighting, with one ruthless person wielding a knife threatening the others, if anyone dared to move, he'd kill them.

They were very angry, extremely angry.

But the result was exactly as Chen Yuan had predicted, none of them dared to move, no matter how harshly they cursed in their hearts, no one dared to be the first to jump out at this moment.

Because they were all afraid.

Everyone knows Chen Yuan's temperament; he truly dares to act, not merely empty words. Even the Emperor was slain by him, so what could they possibly count for?

No one dared to offend Chen Yuan.

Of course, there were people who understood the bigger picture, like King Liang Wei Jinfeng and Ye Xiangnan, who both expressed their willingness to assist Chen Yuan in defending against the demons to a certain extent.

But Chen Yuan declined, because there was no need!

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's news, Xiang Qianqiu from Blood State didn't feel anger, but rather a sense of gratification, as this was the true backbone of the Xiang Family, although... the other side did not regard themselves as a part of the Xiang Family.

If it weren't for Chen Yuan's statement, Xiang Qianqiu would definitely have attacked Shuzhou. In fact, he was already secretly preparing, but with Chen Yuan's declaration, he withdrew.

Though those words seemed to be directed at all the heroes of the world, in reality, Chen Yuan's most threatening neighbor recently was only him, clearly aimed at him.

"What spirit."

The Hall Master of Heavenly Demon Hall, Dongfang Sheng, said solemnly with admiration on his face.

For Chen Yuan's courage, even as an opponent, he genuinely admired it, as it involved betting almost everything for a battle against the demons.

Without a bit of courage, one really couldn't accomplish such thing.

"Indeed."

The Seven Killings Hall Master nodded.

"Without a bit of courage, how dare one be the first to claim kingship?" Xiang Qianqiu chuckled.

"So do we continue to act?" The Seven Killings Hall Master asked.

"I do not agree with engaging, this is about a war between two races, preserving strength without helping is already considered insidious, how could one act opportunistically now?

Even if we were to act, Heavenly Demon Hall would never interfere."

Dongfang Sheng immediately stated. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Even demons have principles, by no means utterly immoral.

"If that's the case, then let's leave it at that, and talk about other matters after this big battle ends." Xiang Qianqiu waved his hand, sighed a deep breath, and sighed.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed, during which all parties in the world learned of the demon invasion, with varying responses.

Some supported Chen Yuan, while others ridiculed Chen Yuan for overestimating himself, and even more said that Chen Yuan actively incited the war, becoming the criminal of millions of South State's citizens.

Criticisms were incessant.

But one thing, they only dared to say it verbally, no one actually wanted to launch a sneak attack on Chen Yuan during this period, even if there was, it was through secret sabotage and frame-ups.

As the situation escalated, many Jianghu martial artists already began to move, the Great Jin Court of Central State, the new Emperor Sima Ke issued an edict denouncing the sins of the demons, supporting Chen Yuan's battle against the demons.

In practice, it didn't provide much help, though it could offer some nominal benefits.

The power of Shuzhou also quickly migrated to South State, making Chen Yuan's confidence grow, despite some who were greedy for life and feared death.

But when matters related to life and death, South State's army and civilians almost stood united against the enemy.

Indeed, it's worth mentioning.

When the news of the demons' major northern push reached the Northern Barbarian Prairie, it similarly caused a massive upheaval, after short-term deliberation, the three Royal Courts joined forces, deployed three hundred thousand troops, and began to gradually press towards Liangzhou.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, also under the initiation of Spirit Mountain of the sacred land, began to intensify their offensive against the Central Plains.

Overseas small countries under Japan's leadership frequently began to reveal their attitudes, also wanting to seize the rare opportunity to act.

For a time, there really was a tendency for various forces to seize the Central Plains.

Zhen Nan Pass, on the city wall.

Chen Yuan, dressed in black gold-plated armor, looked expressionlessly at the army training below, under his command, Shuzhou had dispatched almost all its forces.

Two hundred thousand soldiers.

Together with the twenty-odd thousand Zhen Nan troops already present, and the tens of thousands of troops assembled, now, inside Zhen Nan Pass, there were five hundred thousand battle-ready troops.

All the Yang God True Monarchs under his command, also gathered inside Zhen Nan Pass, it was almost his strongest moment, even surpassing the former court.
