Yue Potian didn’t imdiately launch a counterattack as Yue Jinghua had anticipated, which just happened to give Yue Jinghua a chance to relax.
She was unwilling to let the flas of war spread to the Canglong Continent, so she designated Four Symbols City as the main battleground.
Yue Nian was sowhat reluctant about this; he still hoped Yue Jinghua would reconcile with Yue Potian.
"After all, he is your second uncle-grandfather, and we all have the blood of the Sun Dragon Clan. Huahua, promise father, unless absolutely necessary, you must not confront the Clan Leader in battle," Yue Nian, who lost his father at an early age, saw Yue Potian as half a father, and his affection for Yue Potian was not sothing that could be severed in a day or two.
Yue Jinghua shook her head in frustration; her father Yue Nian was still stubbornly ignorant at this mont.
When she made the Dragon Blood Summon to Cang Dai, she had already decided to go all out.
Yue Potian, this person, could brutally annihilate the Sky Witch Clan back in the day, showing the heart of a wolf. Yue Jinghua might be willing to negotiate with him, but he would never bargain with Yue Jinghua.
Those so-called Holy Beasts, who held themselves in high esteem.
Just as Yue Jinghua expected, Yue Potian now harbors deep hatred against the people from Duke Mansion.
Yue Potian has always been known for his hawkish style within the Sun Dragon Clan, and there were already people within the clan dissatisfied with him, but his identity as a Platinum Giant Dragon allowed him to steadily hold the position of Clan Leader over the years.
The events at the celebratory feast not only brought Yue Potian an unprecedented crisis of prestige, but also through the spread of those attending, even the Holy Dragon Riders of the Sun Dragon Clan beca implicated.
Voices within the clan calling for his stepping down rose higher and higher. Under Yue Potian’s hard and soft pressure, the elders finally proposed a condition: if he wanted to keep his position as Clan Leader, he must quell the rumors and restore the original prestige of the Holy Dragon Riders.
The Holy Dragon Riders are a battle force, and there’s only one way to boost their prestige.
Yue Potian imdiately ca up with an idea.
He fabricated a story about Sect Leader Yue Nian being confused by the Human Race demoness, and colluding with remnants of the Demon Clan, assassinating the Cangmi Realm Lord, framing himself and Divine Empress Muhua as the reason, and initiated a crusade war nad "Holy War".
This war was led by him personally, with Yue Xi heading the Holy Dragon Riders, marching with an army of a hundred thousand straight to Four Symbols City.
In Canglong Continent, anyone who supported Four Symbols City would be dealt with under the na of Demon Clan remnants.
Upon receiving the news, Four Symbols City was increasingly restless.
The Clan Leader of the Sun Dragon Clan leading an army to crusade against a Boundary City under the na of "Holy War" was unprecedented.
Yue Potian released the news early also hoping to make Four Symbols City surrender without a fight.
Upon hearing the news, the next morning, Yue Jinghua opened the city gates, allowing more than fifty thousand residents who wished to leave to depart first.
Bai Sheng and others were very puzzled by this.
"It’s not about the number of people, but about the elite. These people’s confidence is shaken; with slight agitation, they could be used by the opponent. It would be better to take the initiative, scatter the personnel. Those left in the city are mostly people with firm confidence. With proper utilization, it can conserve food supplies and maintain morale," Yue Jinghua said calmly.
In the following days, several airships traversed the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone and landed on the open ground outside Four Symbols City.
Several familiar faces disembarked from the airships.
Little Jinuo stood at the city gate, shouting loudly: "Peng Bojinuo, in my personal na, brings one hundred Dragon Knights to join Four Symbols City."
An imperial general-looking person followed up and shouted: "In the na of Xue Lingshang, I send hundred thousand catties of military provisions, ten thousand catties of dicinal herbs, as a gift to Four Symbols City."
Helian Sheng brought several Federation airships fully equipped to the teeth, "Helian Sheng, in my personal na, brings thirty family artillery experts, a hundred Xuan Crystal Cannons, five airships to join Four Symbols City."
Ni Qianjun led over a hundred robust rcenaries, shouting in a rough voice: "How can we be left out of a fight."
Xie Yu, wearing a peach-pink long robe, flashed a cunning smile: "How could the Assassin Alliance be absent from a killing."
Yun Luo and Teng Wu fought side by side, smiling warmly up at Yue Jinghua standing on the city wall, "Jinghua, we’re here to help you too."
"And us, July rcenary Team, united in enemy hatred, couldn’t live the sa day, just hoping to die together," Shalman and others, looking weary and weather-beaten, with the most intense gaze, waved at Yue Jinghua.
Most of these people ca in their personal capacity.
Among them were those whose family and country could not personally appear, for example, Long Teng the 73rd. The last incident in Wo Hua Imperial City left Long Teng the 73rd regretting every ti she recalled it. Although she was still unable to appear publicly this ti with the Sun Dragon Clan’s Holy War, she sent her most capable Personal Guard captain, delivering military provisions and Elixir Pills.
Among them were those who abandoned their family to help, such as Peng Bojinuo and those Dragon Knights. Yun Luo and Teng Wu, simply because they rembered when they were in their direst monts, Yue Jinghua extended a helping hand.
Among them, there were even those like Ni Qianjun and Xie Yu, who broke away from their organizations, ca swaggering forth. Their arrival was for nothing else but Yue Jinghua. That woman was the person closest to their hearts, even if they never got a response, they would still give without reservation.
Among them, there were comrades, life-and-death partners. July rcenary Team has grown from a small, downtrodden team at the bottom to being at the top of the continent’s rcenary pyramid, with Yue Jinghua being their belief.
A pair of eyes, so full of enthusiasm, so full of anticipation, so full of encouragent.
Without exception, all fell into Yue Jinghua’s line of sight.
A drip of kindness repaid with a gushing spring.
...
Gazing at those familiar faces outside the city gate, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but choke, for the first ti, she felt moved.
Standing on the city wall alongside her, Yue Nian also felt shocked witnessing this scene.
He disagreed with Yue Jinghua starting a war with Yue Potian because he knew the strength of the Holy Dragon Riders too well, he also knew Yue Potian was invincible.
The Holy Dragon Riders were trained by him, and he was taught by Yue Potian himself.
He didn’t believe that Four Symbols City, Yue Jinghua could repel the Holy Dragon Riders.
But looking at these faces filled with confidence, he suddenly realized that maybe behind the disparity in strength, there was an invisible force that would influence the outco of this "Holy War".
Yue Nian’s heart was experiencing a battle between celestial beings, and Yue Jinghua was no different.
She originally didn’t want the flas of war to extend to Canglong Continent and didn’t want her forr companions and friends to be implicated.
But her idea didn’t an she could influence others’ ideas.
She lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
In her previous life, she was the lonely Yue Xiaoqi, but at this mont, she is no longer lonely because countless comrades stand behind her.
"Open the city gates," the command rang out, and the gates slowly opened.
