Chapter 756: If You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight

"Ye Xiu is Xuanse’s Medicine King, and I do not believe he is an undercover agent for the three great Judicator Families. No one in Heaven Net believes it either."

Facing the over 110,000-strong War God Army, Yan Long spoke with righteous indignation. After speaking, he shot Ye Xiu a flirtatious look, as if to say, "Brother, when the whole world is against you, I’m risking my life to stand by your side. Isn’t that enough? You’d better not treat me poorly after this."

"To be an enemy of Divine Doctor Ye is to be an enemy of Heaven Net and an enemy of Xuanse," Qing Luan declared, drawing her sword and radiating murderous intent.

Immediately, all the War Gods from Heaven Net drew their weapons, adopting a stance of living and dying with Ye Xiu.

Seeing this, the massive War God Army was utterly dumbfounded.

Bruce was interrupted by Yan Long’s declaration. He choked on his words, his anger momentarily forgotten as he exclaimed in disbelief, "Yan Long, have you lost your mind? Facing an army of over 110,000 War Gods, Ye Xiu is certain to die, and Abandoned City is doomed to fall. For you to lead Heaven Net to side with him now is nothing short of suicide!"

In reality, Yan Long was panicking. He didn’t want to die with Ye Xiu either. The problem was, after he returned from the meeting at the Necromancers Association’s base last night, Qing Luan and her faction staged a coup, declaring that if he didn’t stand with Ye Xiu, they would revolt. If Qing Luan and her people revolted, he would become a commander without an army. He had no choice but to make this suicidal decision. Of course, he was still clinging to a sliver of hope... a hope that Huang Quan wouldn’t abandon Ye Xiu!

"If you want a fight, you’ll get one! Cut the damn crap. If I so much as flinch, you can call me your son," Yan Long blustered.

Even though he was panicking internally, Yan Long knew he had to keep up his imposing front. He had to act tough.

Ye Xiu watched Yan Long put on a show of magnificent bravado, but he noticed the man’s legs were trembling slightly and almost burst out laughing.

"I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you," Bruce roared angrily, raising his sword. "Since you’ve chosen to die with Ye Xiu, then I shall oblige you! All War Gods, on my command—"

"Wait!" someone interrupted Bruce again.

Bruce took a deep, frustrated breath. Will this ever end? How can it be this hard just to give an order to attack?

He and everyone else turned to see who had the audacity to interrupt him this time. They saw Meng Yinwan leading the Restorer Alliance, over 14,000 strong, stepping out from the ranks to join Ye Xiu’s side. Due to space constraints, most of them climbed onto the mountains above the tunnel to face the War God Army.

"What is the meaning of this?" Bruce asked with a frown.

"On behalf of the Restorer Alliance, I believe Ye Xiu is not an undercover agent for the three great Judicator Families," Meng Yinwan said in a cold voice, slowly drawing her sword. "To be an enemy of Ye Xiu is to be an enemy of the Restorer Alliance."

After speaking, she shot Ye Xiu a look that clearly said, "You’d better call Huang Quan now."

In reality, the Restorer Alliance had chosen to side with Ye Xiu entirely for Huang Quan’s sake, as they were convinced the two of them were allies.

Ye Xiu pretended not to understand her look. I can’t exactly call Huang Quan in public. Call myself? The call wouldn’t even go through!

"Haha, now things are getting interesting!" Tu La and the others laughed as they watched the commotion from a distance.

One of the undercover agents said, "Master, you might not know this, but there are a total of 95 Seventh Realm War Gods on Biluo Island. Subtracting the five of us, that leaves 90. The Abandoned City’s side, including Ye Xiu, has 21. The Restorer Alliance has 29. Another 11 unaffiliated Loose Cultivators haven’t arrived. That means in the War God Army led by Bruce, there are only 29.

"In terms of Seventh Realm War Gods, Ye Xiu’s side has 50, far outnumbering Bruce’s 29."

Upon hearing this, Cha Muxue suddenly grew worried. "Does this mean they might not fight?"

"Don’t forget that Bruce is an Eighth Realm War God. Plus, his side has far more people overall. They’ll definitely fight," the undercover agent said with absolute certainty.

The smile on Tu La’s face grew wider. "Once the fight starts," he said, "both sides will suffer heavy losses. At least half of the War Gods present today will die."

Lin Chuan and the others also began to smile. The plan is proceeding far more smoothly than we anticipated!

"Meng Yinwan..." Bruce glared at her, grinding his teeth. "Do you have any idea what it means for you to side with Ye Xiu once this war begins?"

Meng Yinwan shrugged. "It means our side is sure to win."

Is that what I meant? Hell no! I meant that if we fight, both our sides will be crippled, and the only ones celebrating will be the three Judicator Families!

Bruce took a deep breath, turned to face the War God Army, and proclaimed, "Everyone! Ye Xiu is an undercover agent for the three Judicator Families! All the people he has been supporting in the Abandoned City are our enemies! If we don’t wipe them out today, then when the grand armies of the Judicator Families invade, we will be caught between two fronts!"

Galava, the Hierarch of the Xuan Ming Sect, immediately chimed in to rally the troops. "Many of us will die today! But it is a necessary sacrifice to eradicate the Judicator Families’ agents on Biluo Island and ensure our victory in the future war! So, kill them!"

The War God Army, now numbering less than 100,000, drew their weapons and roared in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Good!" Bruce bellowed, raising his sword high. "Everyone, on my command—"

Just as he was about to roar the word "Kill," he was interrupted again. "Hold on, wait a minute..."

Bruce was about to go mad with rage. He roared, "Who the hell is interrupting me this time?"

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw over a thousand people running over from the side. Leading the group were none other than Seven Kills Mo Qingdi and Greedy Wolf Tang Buyi of the Po Lang trio. The thousand-plus people behind them were all the unaffiliated Loose Cultivator War Gods of Biluo Island.

Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi led their group over to Ye Xiu. "Divine Doctor Ye," Mo Qingdi said apologetically, "my apologies. We’re not too late, are we?"

"You’ve all arrived just in time!" Ye Xiu said with a grin, inwardly ecstatic. The arrival of Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi is a wonderful surprise! These two actually managed to rally all the Loose Cultivator War Gods and bring them here.

"That’s good, that’s good." Mo Qingdi smiled, then turned to face Bruce, his battle intent surging. "Don’t waste any more time. If you want a war, then you’ll get one. Let’s begin!"

A wave of dread washed over Bruce. The 29 Seventh Realm War Gods in his army felt it too.

The number of Seventh Realm War Gods on Ye Xiu’s side had now reached 61.

Their only remaining advantage was Bruce, an Eighth Realm War God. The problem was, the three members of Po Lang, when fighting together, were known to be capable of killing opponents of a higher realm. Against them, Bruce stood no chance.

To this day, very few people knew that Po Jun, Ye Daoxuan, had been crippled by Ye Xiu.
