"What is this...."

At this moment, almost all the Heavenly Generals who were outside trying to stop the straggling demons were stunned.

The cycle of the stars of the Twenty-Eight Constellations outside the Heavenly Palace was not within the protection of the Sacred Formation.

Now, with demons rampant, whether the hidden resources they possess still exist is a problem.

It would be a lie to say they weren’t worried, but now the Sacred Formation is sealed, and returning to check is impossible.

Suddenly, the formation opened, though certainly bizarre, who could suppress the impulse in their hearts at that moment?

The Heaven’s Court is unreliable; the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t consider these native demons as his own and could abandon them at any time. It’s better to find a way to preserve their years of savings.

In an instant, without any hesitation, the Heavenly Generals assisting the Heavenly King’s Army in battle swiftly retreated, running toward the Star Formation without hesitation!

"Stop right there!!"

The four Heavenly Kings responsible for command leapt in rage, and in their fury, they personally charged forward, instantly beheading hundreds of leading Heavenly Generals.

But the more chaotic it became, the stronger the conviction of those lower-level Heavenly Generals grew—Heaven’s Court leaders don’t treat them as people. If they don’t flee now, when?

The four Heavenly Kings, seeing those below fleeing increasingly fiercely, were momentarily stunned, not knowing what to do. At this point, they couldn’t order the Heavenly King’s Army forming an array to pursue them, could they?

If the military formation scattered, the damages caused by those entering King Level entities would be unstoppable.

These ungrateful traitors, Your Majesty was right not to trust them!!

---------------------------------

"How could this happen?"

At this moment, within Heaven’s Court, only the Thunder Department Heavenly Generals guarded Elder Long. The leading Wang Lingguan stared at the Transmission Array lighting up in the sky, with the Twenty-Eight Constellations nearly fully opened, and he was momentarily flabbergasted.

"It seems... something slipped in!!" Elder Long’s face turned grim: "At this point, how could he not realize there was an internal problem?"

If those gaps were torn open by external demons or hidden Otherworldly Demon Statues using special methods, that could be explained. But the Transmission Array of the Twenty-Eight Constellations is internal, directly activated, undoubtedly by internal operations.

It must be that something slipped in internally.

"But... who has that capability?" Wang Lingguan was momentarily at a loss.

The Sacred Formation is grasped by several top-level Spatial Sorcerers, and the highest authority rests with Ziwei; only Ziwei knows how to activate the checkpoints of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. It’s impossible that Prince Ziwei betrayed them, is it?

Wang Lingguan hesitated for a while. After all, to safeguard the Heavenly King’s Army, Your Majesty indeed placed Prince Ziwei in danger.

It wouldn’t be impossible if Ziwei was turned, but with the Transmission Formation still activated, Prince Ziwei is clearly still below; at this moment, who could possess that means?

"Perhaps it’s an old friend!" The Heavenly Emperor stood up, his eyes flickering with a terrible grimness.

"Your Majesty, should I personally go capture them?"

"No... I’ll go personally!"

"Your Majesty?" Wang Lingguan froze.

"That guy is extremely adept at the Law of Space; your combat power is high, but you may not catch him. Come with me, leaving the Thunder Department Heavenly Generals to guard the Heavenly Palace, reporting to you at any moment. By the way, have the preparations been made?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is in order."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor nodded.

The Thunder Department Heavenly Generals are his Inner Guard and the ones he trusts most, given the most resources daily.

In terms of individual strength, the Four Heavenly Kings might not even be comparable to Wang Lingguan; even the Three-Eyed Divine General might not measure up.

His trust in Wang Lingguan is considerable.

If the worst comes nothing, he can only protect his last foundation to the greatest extent.

"Let’s go meet our old friend!"

------------------------------------

After activating the Transmission of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Ziyue promptly exited the Spatial Great Formation, wanting to find a place to hide.

After all, she knew that although activating this would cause chaos inside Heaven’s Court, it would surely alert Elder Long, that old fox, to her presence.

If she didn’t run now, when would be a better time?

Where to escape?

Ziyue thought for a moment and suddenly remembered White Tiger Star Officer mentioning she had her elite stationed in the White Tiger Star Palace, and by now they should have gathered at the center of Heaven’s Court.

At this moment, if she could find one or two, using the token given by White Tiger, there shouldn’t be any conflict.

She might be able to hide in the White Tiger Star Palace!

Thinking of this, she found the location of the Transmission to the White Tiger Star Palace through the formation and hurriedly dashed toward it.

The chaotic battlefield led to extremely turbulent elemental fluctuations, making it hard for Elder Long to detect her even with his strong divine sense.

However, she clearly underestimated the opponent.

Upon reaching the Transmission Array of the White Tiger Star Palace, she saw there was already a heap of Heavenly General corpses there, the armor style very similar to those used by White Tiger Star Officer’s elite deployment that was said to have been stationed.

The one who acted was a tremendously tall Heavenly General, at least thirty feet high, with a huge eye for a head, carrying a majestic thunderclap aura, even rivaling the Three-Eyed Divine General.

Standing beside that towering Heavenly General was a young man wearing the Emperor’s robe, full of majesty, with white hair. Although he looked extremely young, Ziyue instantly recognized who that person was.

"Long time no see." The Emperor coldly looked at Ziyue.

Ziyue sighed inwardly, realizing she was wrong in thinking he was purposeless. Maybe the old man’s several foolish moves made her feel that he was truly incompetent, yet never did she think, in terms of manipulation and calculation, he was top-notch, even surpassing Old Liu in the past.

"Yes, it’s been a long time." Ziyue smiled: "Elder Long does look handsome when young, completely different from what appears on TV."

"Laboring for the country, naturally makes one weary."

"Laboring for the country? You made the country disappear!" Ziyue retorted with a sneer.

"If not for me, would the Eastern Federation have its current status? Even if I didn’t enter the fray, those people in the West would still initiate the apocalypse plan, and it wouldn’t make any difference; it’s the trend, irrevocable. If people defy the trend, all endeavors come to naught!"

"Trend?" Ziyue smiled sarcastically: "A group of old fools unwilling to abandon power and die, greedily grasping power, stirring up storms. What kind of nonsense trend is this? The great trend of the world shouldn’t be in the hands of you dogs."

"But it’s in our hands nonetheless!" Elder Long laughed: "What can you do? The great trend of history is in the hands of a few; that’s simply human nature."

"No humanity left!" Ziyue interrupted the other: "You and I now, where can we still be called human? Just a bunch of self-deceiving rotten data..."

"Shut up!" Elder Long sneered: "I will give you one opportunity, deactivate the transmission or else..."
