High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The room fell silent.

Qin Cang's communication bracelet on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

The vibration was very slight, but in the quiet Tian Shu Pavilion, where you could hear a pin drop, it sounded particularly jarring.

Qin Cang glanced down and his expression changed instantly.

His fingers tightened slightly around the bracelet, and his lips pressed into a thin line.

Mu Tianyu sat on the dragon throne, his gaze sweeping over everyone, keenly noticing Qin Cang's change.

He frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"Qin Aiqing, what's wrong?"

He paused, his tone becoming more somber.

"Could something bad have happened again?"

Qin Cang raised his head, his face solemn and incredulous.

He opened his mouth, and finally revealed a bitter smile.

"His Majesty......"

His voice was a little dry.

"You... guessed very accurately."

He took a deep breath.

"Indeed, there is more bad news."

He paused.

"And there's more than one."

The words fell.

Everyone present, except for Chen Yuan, including the King, felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

A general who had reached the level of an Eternal True God couldn't help but speak first, his tone urgent.

"Did those invaders, after conquering the Heavenly Crane Alliance, immediately march towards our Azure Sky Empire?"

Another civil official, his face pale, pressed for an answer.

"Has it been confirmed that the other side possesses a Sovereign Realm expert?"

Another middle-aged man, who looked like a town envoy, gripped the armrest, his voice trembling.

"Or... has the enemy already reached our southwestern border?"

"Minister Qin, please hurry up and tell me! I'm dying to know!"

"........."

Everyone bombarded the group with questions, each one like a knife stabbing into their hearts.

The atmosphere inside the pavilion grew increasingly oppressive, filled with a suffocating sense of panic.

As Mu Tianyu listened to the commotion in the hall, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He suddenly raised his hand and pressed down heavily, releasing the pressure of a mid-stage Supreme Realm expert without any concealment.

"quiet!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a muffled thunderclap exploding inside the pavilion.

All sounds vanished instantly, and everyone shut their mouths, but the terror on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.

Mu Tianyu's gaze swept over the crowd and then landed on Qin Cang.

"Qin Aiqing."

His tone was cold and indifferent.

"Tell me the bad news one by one."

Qin Cang took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty, my colleagues..."

He raised his wrist and tapped the bracelet a few times, projecting the latest military intelligence onto the screen.

"Latest news received."

He paused, then emphasized his words.

"The Heavenly Crane Alliance is not the only one in our entire Purple Profound Starfield to have been invaded by an unknown force."

There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by a collective gasp of surprise.

Qin Cang didn't stop and continued speaking.

"Within our Purple Profound Star Domain, forces in the four directions of east, west, south, and north have been simultaneously invaded."

He raised his hand and pointed out four locations on the star map of the light screen in turn.

"The western side is the Heavenly Crane Alliance, which has already fallen."

His finger moved to the east.

"To the east lies the Azure Flame Empire."

Then it moved to the south.

"To the south is the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts."

It finally landed on the north side.

"To the north is the Ice Palace."

He looked around.

"These four forces have each been invaded by a powerful and mysterious invading force, and have now all fallen."

He paused, then emphasized his words.

"Moreover, all four invading forces are extremely powerful, and they are evenly matched!"

The room erupted in chaos.

An eternal god suddenly stood up, his face ashen.

"The Azure Flame Empire has fallen too?!"

A general standing nearby clenched his fist.

"The Myriad Beasts Star Palace... that's a force with a peak Supreme Realm expert at its helm! Its strength is only slightly weaker than our Azure Sky Empire!"

Another civil official's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled violently.

"The Ice Palace, which possesses a bizarre ice fleet... has also fallen? And it's only been a few days?!"

Qin Cang raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then he continued speaking, his voice carrying an uncontrollable heaviness.

"Moreover, according to the latest video footage, the four invading fleets have the same style and attack methods."

His gaze swept over the crowd.

"It's certain they come from the same faction."

He paused, his gaze falling on Chen Yuan.

"That is what Special Envoy Chen just mentioned... the Cloud and Blue Immortal Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan sat in his seat, his face still calm, but his heart was filled with considerable surprise.

He quickly calculated in his mind.

"There are actually four armies from the Yunlan Immortal Realm that invaded the Zixuan Starfield?"

He frowned slightly.

"Is it a powerful force within the Cloud Ripple Immortal Realm splitting into four groups, or are the four forces within the Immortal Realm forming an alliance to jointly divide up the Purple Profound Star Region?"

He repeatedly went through the process in his mind.

If it's the former, it means the other party has a deeper foundation than you imagined.

But if it's the latter...

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"If it were a coalition of four forces, that would be better."

He muttered to himself.

"This shows that no single power is ridiculously strong."

"With my current strength, if I wanted to run away, no one could stop me."

He paused, then continued to ponder.

"Unless the army of Yunlan Immortal Realm has a Chaos Sovereign Realm expert among its ranks."

He shook his head, dismissing the possibility.

"But if the other side really has a powerhouse of that level, they could conquer this weak Purple Profound Star Region simply by showing their face."

"There's absolutely no need to go through the trouble of sending fleets to conquer each star system one by one..."

He snapped out of his reverie and turned his gaze back to the light screen.

Qin Cang didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand.

A new video began playing on the screen.

Those were precious images recorded when the Qingyan Empire was invaded.

on the screen.

Hundreds of massive, deep blue ships emerged from the void.

The celestial patterns on the ship's hull are almost identical to those in the images of the Heavenly Crane Alliance, with only minor differences.

then.

A vast expanse of pale blue light surged forth.

The star defense line within the Azure Flame Empire was torn to shreds like paper in front of the beam of light.

One warship after another was pierced through, and the flames of explosions rose and fell across the starry sky.

It was almost exactly the same as when the Tianhe Alliance's Starry Sky Defense Line was breached!

The only difference is that the intruders were not the same group of people.

Next came the footage of the Myriad Beasts Star Palace.

Then came footage of the Arctic Palace...

The three sets of images were played in sequence, and each set made the faces of everyone present turn even paler.

The room was eerily quiet.

The only sounds were occasional explosions and shattering noises when the images were playing on the screen.

A middle-aged man, Zhen Yu, slumped in his seat, his gaze unfocused.

"Same...all the same..."

He murmured to himself.

"This attack method, this fleet design... they're clearly the same group!"

A general next to him was supporting himself on the table with both hands, his knuckles turning white.

"Our Purple Mystic Starfield has been invaded from all four directions simultaneously..."

His voice trembled.

"They're trying to swallow our entire Purple Profound Starfield whole!"

Another civil official's lips trembled, and even his beard shook.

"Four invaders...four groups! And all of them are so powerful!"

He gripped the handrail.

"Each of them easily annihilated a force with a Supreme Realm expert at its helm, and none of them were even its main force!"

"Can our Azure Sky Empire... really handle this?"

"Even if all the forces unite to form a coalition, it seems unlikely..."

"Suspicious? I think it's absolutely hopeless!"

"It's over, it's all over... Just one stream was enough to give us a headache, and now there are four..."

"How about... launching the Civilization Seed Project? We simply can't compete with that!"

Panic spread like a plague within the cabinet.

Some people were pale, some were trembling, and some were already thinking about their next move.

After watching the three sets of images, Chen Yuan nodded silently in his heart.

He carefully examined the details of the giant ships in the picture.

Each fleet has a slightly different emblem, and the arrangement of the fairy symbols also varies somewhat.

"Four different forces."

He was certain in his heart.

"It's not one party splitting into four groups, but a four-way coalition."

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"If a single force has such a foundation, then even if the other side does not have a Chaos Sovereign Realm expert, they must have quite a few Sovereign Realm experts."

"But if it's a four-way alliance... it means the other side definitely doesn't have any Chaos Overlord level experts, otherwise they wouldn't need to unite to deal with a mere self-suspended star field."

"From this perspective, each faction can have at most four Sovereign Realm experts in charge!"

He silently calculated in his mind.

"With my current strength, as long as no Chaos Overlord realm expert intervenes, I have room to maneuver."

"It's alright, not too hopeless..."

He leaned back in his chair, his expression calm.

Just then, Zhuge Yun, the wise and high-ranking official who had spoken earlier, stepped forward.

He suppressed his panic, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Gentlemen."

His voice was steady, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight, barely perceptible tremor.

"It is now confirmed that the forces invading our Zixuan Starfield from the four directions of east, west, south, and north are from the Yunlan Immortal Realm."

He raised his hand and tapped on the light screen, placing the four sets of images side by side.

"And they came with the sole purpose of conquering our Purple Profound Star Region."

He looked around, his tone becoming more serious.

"Now that things have come to this, we must immediately send meeting invitations to the leaders of all forces within the Purple Profound Star Region to discuss this matter!"

He clenched his fist.

"A coalition must be formed!"

He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Otherwise, the entire Purple Profound Starfield wouldn't last long before it completely falls!"

After he finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment, then a chorus of agreement arose.

"Agreed! We must unite!"

"We can no longer fight alone!"

"Yes, only by uniting can we have hope!"

A town envoy stood up, his tone firm.

"I support forming a coalition army!"

A general standing nearby also slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Count me in! We'll fight them to the death!"

Another civil official stroked his beard and nodded emphatically.

"I have lived for over a thousand years and have never been a slave of a conquered nation."

He paused.

"Surrender? Impossible!"

Everyone in the pavilion spoke up, but not a single person suggested surrendering to the invaders.

the reason is simple.

None of them were willing to give up their current noble status and become lowly prisoners.

Moreover, given the brutality of the enemy, who knows if we will be enslaved after surrendering?

As powerful beings at the level of Eternal True Gods, they are extremely strong and hold a revered position within the Purple Profound Star Domain.

According to the information Chen Yuan just revealed, the level of Eternal True God is quite ordinary in the entire Yunlan Immortal Realm.

If they surrender, the other side might actually treat them like slaves.

They might not even accept it!

"War! We must fight!"

"Yes, it's better to fight to the death than to be a slave!"

"Unite all forces and fight them to the death!"

Mu Tianyu sat on the dragon throne, listening to the discussions of the crowd, his expression solemn.

He silently calculated in his mind.

Although the Canglan Empire is at odds with other forces.

For example, the Bloodfang tribe frequently clashes with each other, which can be said to be due to long-standing grudges.

Both sides wanted to kill each other, but neither chose to do so because of insufficient strength or the high cost.

But now, at this critical juncture of life and death...

He repeatedly went through the process in his mind.

They believed the other side would make the right choice and wouldn't be so foolish as to continue opposing the Canglan Empire.

Moreover, this crisis is not just targeting their Canglan Empire, but the entire Zixuan Star Region.

I believe the leader of the Bloodfang tribe is able to distinguish right from wrong.

He snapped out of his thoughts, raised his head, and glanced at everyone in the room.

"My beloved ministers."

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.

"What you say, my dear Zhuge, is absolutely right."

He stood up, the hem of his dragon robe hanging down, and his body exuded a chilling aura of a mid-stage Supreme Realm expert.

"This crisis concerns the very survival of the entire Purple Profound Starfield."

He paused.

"Going it alone will only lead to death."

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Qin Cang.

"Minister Qin, immediately send online court invitations to all the leaders of forces within the Purple Profound Star Region."

He emphasized his words.

"I, Mu Tianyu, have invited them to discuss the matter of resisting the enemy."

He clenched his fist.

"The location is in the capital of our Canglan Empire."

"Time, the sooner the better!"

Qin Cang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

"I obey your decree!"

He turned and walked out of the hall, his steps quick and firm.

Mu Tianyu sat down again, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

"My beloved ministers, this battle is a matter of life and death."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I hope everyone will work together to overcome this difficult time."

Everyone in the pavilion stood up in unison and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

The voices were clear and resonant, echoing throughout the Tian Shu Pavilion for a long time.

Chen Yuan also stood up and bowed slightly to Mu Tianyu.

He silently calculated in his mind.

"Let them discuss the alliance."

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"All I need to do is maintain my strength and wait for the system to check in every month."

He muttered to himself.

"If we can secure a full-force attack from a Chaos Sovereign, this battle will be much easier."

He closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

He took on this trouble.
