Chapter 2396
Two of the five people who were congratulated simply nodded with smiles, while the other three Holy Lords were unaware of the reason behind it. This was because on that day, June had used his divine sense to shroud Boundless City, causing all cultivators who knew of the Bright Moon Supreme's Guiding Order to swear an oath to Heaven. This matter had always been kept strictly confidential.
Seeing this, the two envoys knew that saying anything more would be taboo, so they turned to Yao Yu, the Nine Nether Saint Lord and the others and said, "You all need not doubt. After the great battle ends, you will know the weight of this fortune."
"In that case, I request your cooperation in compiling combat strength statistics and completing pre-battle deployments so that the order of participation can be finalized." The Divine Armor King's smile vanished, his tone becoming serious. With a wave of his hand, several gilded booklets appeared out of thin air and landed in the hands of the Holy Land Lords.
"Combat strength rating is directly related to the position of the garrison. The higher the rating, the higher the position, and the more merits you will gain, but correspondingly, the chance of dying in battle will also increase exponentially."
Chen Xuan took the booklet from Jue Wuqing's hand, his fingertips tracing the pages. It clearly listed various rating standards such as the army's combat strength and the combined power of the formation, and he needed to fill in his own combat strength estimate.
After a moment's thought, without the slightest hesitation, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he selected all the top ratings.
Jue Wuqing caught a glimpse of his choice and was secretly startled. She glared at Chen Xuan with worry in her eyes, but did not stop him. She just smiled bitterly and turned back to the Holy Lord's formation.
A moment later, all the statistical tables were presented.
The two envoys reviewed each book one by one. The first few were all quite standard, and none of the holy sites dared to be arrogant, so the ratings were mostly conservative.
But when they turned to the booklet about the Heartless Sanctuary, their pupils shrank simultaneously, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"What?!" The Divine Armor King suddenly looked up at Jue Wuqing, his tone urgent, "Jue Wuqing, do you intend to have your army guard the main pass? Why have you selected the top rating for all of them?"
As central envoys, the two were well aware of the strength of the eight holy lands of the Yanlong Realm. In the past, the main passes were guarded by the two holy lands of Xian Gu and Supreme. Last time, the Yanlong Realm suffered a great defeat in guarding the main pass. The central government had already decided to allocate some troops from the two holy lands and borrow the dragon army of the Qingcang Realm to fill the gap in the main pass.
This matter has already aroused dissatisfaction from the two holy lands of Immortal Ancient and Supreme. Now that the Heartless Holy Land has taken the initiative to select top combat power, it has left no room for the Dragon Clan army to make up for its shortcomings.
The two stared at Jue Wuqing, their tone tinged with persuasion, intending to give him a chance to change his mind.
But Jue Wuqing simply shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more—he, as the sect leader of the Jueqing Holy Land, knew Chen Xuan's foundation and strength all too well, and since his disciple dared to choose him, he dared to trust him.
"Fellow Daoist Wuqing, I know that your disciples Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian possess astonishing combat prowess," the square-faced Immortal King said in a deep voice, his tone solemn.
"But in a battle of destiny, the overall power of a super god-demon combined formation is crucial. No matter how strong the leader is, if the army under his command is weak as a whole, it will be difficult to exert his full strength."
“Exactly! Even the two holy lands of Immortal Ancient and Supreme are so powerful that they still cannot completely withstand the impact of the strange army. Do you, the Heartless Holy Land, really have confidence?” The Divine Armor God King also spoke up to persuade him.
Yao Yu, Jiu You, Yao Guang, and other Holy Lords were also shocked. They all used their divine sense to send messages to Jue Wuqing, advising him to think twice before acting and not to act impulsively.
"Thank you all for your concern." Jue Wuqing's gaze was firm as he looked toward the army of the Jueqing Holy Land. "Since this disciple dared to make this choice, he must have some confidence. As the sect leader, I should trust him."
"Alas, since that's the case, we will return to the central command immediately to report. You will be on standby, awaiting orders." Seeing this, the two envoys knew further persuasion was futile, so they could only shake their heads helplessly and solemnly instruct them.
"One million two hundred and ninety thousand years have passed since the last battle for destiny. No one knows how much the combat power of the lower-level cultivators of the strange race has improved in these millions of years. You must instruct your disciples to act with caution!"
"We will remember this!" Zi Chen, Jue Wuqing, and the others bowed in unison.
