"Huh, aren't you Zhao Tian of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, Chu Wuji of the Apollo Empire, and Xiao Huo of the Ancient Age Family? I would never have expected you three formidable men, who are half way to Honoured Lord Realm, to visit in person, but if you wish to see Prince Gu, perhaps you'll have to show some sincerity." The Supreme Stygian Archbishop leisurely appeared in the sky with his hands crossed behind his back and a belittling smirk as his voice reverberated through the sky.
Meanwhile, standing behind him were Supreme Stygian Holy Land's elders and disciples, who were also uninfluenced by the situation. Their faces were ever so serene, and even carried hints of indifference. After all, after having drawn the young master to their side, the rest of the forces in Eastern Barren became awfully insignificant. In other words, Supreme Stygian Holy Land intended to achieve conquest by free-riding on Gu Changge's power.
Simultaneously, those who were let in on the truth grew complacent. [Forces that are outside Supreme Stygian Holy Land are worth nothing! Prince Gu could easily bring them down with just a palm. Anyone who dares to upset him will be engulfed along with the gates by the scary being behind Prince Gu. With such an overbearing figure backing us up, why would there be a need for us to fear anything?]
"What?" At that moment, outside the Supreme Stygian Gates, everyone including the elderly man in white and uncle of the emperor of the Apollo Empire was somewhat dazed as they were baffled by the behavior of Supreme Stygian Holy Land's people. At the same time, cultivators on the ancient battleships and flying boats, as well as the beast riders were also stunned. After all, they charged toward Supreme Stygian Holy Land as menacingly as they could, only to be greeted with its people's lack of resistance, and that was completely out of their expectations.
"What is the Supreme Stygian Archbishop talking about?" All of the attackers were thoroughly dumbfounded. [Given the dire circumstances, the elders and disciples of Supreme Stygian Holy Land were still behaving as if they weren't disconcerted at all! What is happening? Have they all gone insane? Or do they have a secret plan?]
[Prince Gu? Who is that? Is that perhaps the young master who Supreme Stygian Holy Land has been getting acquainted with? Or is this all just a confusion tactic?] The elderly man in white, also known as Zhao Tian, the Supreme Elder of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, couldn't help but ponder.
Essentially, as he had lived for thousands of years, he swiftly noticed something was up given how overly calm Supreme Stygian Holy Land's people were toward the situation. [Who gave them such confidence? Assuming their Supreme Elder was still alive, with greater power even, there's no way he could take on so many forces invading at once.] In that instant, the situation at the Supreme Stygian Gates grew extremely suspicious.
"Huh! Prince Gu? Who is that? Doesn't ring a bell. He may be a legend that treads the world in secret, but even if that's the case, what could he possibly do? I have brought with me today the Emperor Weapon of my empire. And with full awakening, it could take on a being in the Honoured King Realm!" Chu Wuji, the emperor of the Apollo Empire, coldly responded. As he was speaking, his voice traveled forward with utmost intimidation. As there was a long-lived grudge between the Apollo Empire and Supreme Stygian Holy Land, naturally, he wouldn't forgo such a timely opportunity to take down his nemesis.
"I've allowed all of you a path away from death, but you just had to charge toward it. And why in the world would you think you're capable of fathoming Prince Gu's identity? Well, you over-ambitious ants can now stop fantasizing about taking us down!" Hearing that, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop raised his arm as he revealed a pretentious smile, speaking in a pompous tone.
