He shouted loudly, “Friend Chen! Daoist Wuji! How are you?”
Chen Ping heard Wu Hao’s voice, immediately opened the Dragon Pattern Bell, supported the weak Daoist Wuji and walked out.
“Your Majesty, we are fine. It is just that the seal of the Thunder Sound Temple… has still shattered. The hundred thousand demon souls have already headed straight for the Divine Capital!”
Wu Hao’s heart sank heavily. Just as he was about to inquire about the situation in the Divine Capital, a burst of urgent footsteps came from afar.
They saw Wu Yue with tattered clothes, dishevelled hair, her face stained with dust and blood traces. She was stumbling towards this side, followed by several cultivators from the Secret Investigation Division.
“Father Emperor!”
Wu Yue saw Wu Hao, could no longer hold back, threw herself into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Wu Hao hugged his daughter tightly, saw her covered in wounds. His heart was filled with pain and anger. “Yue’er! How are you here? What exactly happened to the Divine Capital?”
Wu Yue cried as she said, “Father Emperor, the Divine Capital… the Divine Capital is gone! Liu Kun led the demon souls into the city. The soldiers and people resisted to the death, but the demon souls were too strong. Everyone… was killed! Liu Kun released me at the end, self-detonated to atone…”
She choked as she recounted the tragic situation in the Divine Capital: piles of corpses like mountains, burning houses, the rampage of demon souls, the heroic resistance of the people and soldiers… Every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the hearts of Wu Hao and everyone present.
“Liu Kun! Demon souls!”
Wu Hao trembled with rage, suddenly drew the sword at his waist, pointed it towards the direction of the Divine Capital. “I will personally lead the army to kill back, avenge the people and soldiers of the Divine Capital! Ao Lie, pass my order. Assemble the entire army, follow me on the expedition!”
“Your Majesty must not!”
Chen Ping immediately stepped forward to stop him. “The demon souls number a hundred thousand, and there is a Human Immortal realm powerhouse like the Soul Devourer Venerable in command. With just this Forbidden Army, we are no match at all! Forcing an attack will only lead to senseless death!”
“Then what do you suggest? Should we just watch the demon souls rampage, not avenge the people of the Divine Capital?”
Wu Hao’s eyes were red, his voice hoarse.
“Vengeance must be taken, but not now.”
Chen Ping said gravely. “Now, the only way is to unite all human and beast clan forces in the Sixth Heaven, gather all strength. Only then can we possibly contend with the demon soul army. If we act rashly, the Sixth Heaven will be completely without hope!”
Daoist Wuji also recovered his strength, nodded in agreement. “What Chen Ping says is absolutely right. Your Majesty is the core of the human clans in the Sixth Heaven. You must not act impulsively. Uniting all forces is the only way to break the deadlock.”
Wu Yue wiped away her tears, said to Wu Hao, “Father Emperor, Friend Chen is right. We cannot sacrifice in vain anymore. For the people of the Divine Capital, for the Sixth Heaven, we must calm down.”
Wu Hao looked at his daughter’s determined gaze, then at the ruined Thunder Sound Temple before him and the exhausted crowd. He took a deep breath, finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
He gripped his sword tightly, said solemnly, “Fine! I will listen to you! In my capacity as the Sovereign of the Divine Nation, I issue a call to all human and beast clan forces in the Sixth Heaven. Assemble at the Thunder Sound Temple, jointly resist the demon souls!”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Hao took brush and ink, personally wrote the call to arms!!
In the decree, he detailed the dangers of the demon souls’ emergence, the tragic state of the Divine Capital, called on all clans in the Sixth Heaven to set aside past grievances, unite to resist the demons!!!
After writing, he stamped it with the dragon pattern jade seal, handed it to the cultivators of the Secret Investigation Division. “Immediately spread this decree throughout the Sixth Heaven. Ensure every force receives the message!”
The cultivators of the Secret Investigation Division accepted the order, immediately turned into several black shadows, sped off in all directions.
At the same time, the various clan forces in the Sixth Heaven were already in panic due to the emergence of the demon souls.
When Wu Hao’s call to arms arrived, everyone realised that this was not only a crisis for the Divine Nation, but for the entire Sixth Heaven…………
