"Boss, is this guy really reliable?"

At this moment, numerous lower-ranking Divine Generals and Heavenly Soldiers of the Twenty-Eight Constellations were gathered together.

Normally, this would be a very dangerous situation—gathered together, blood and Qi concentrated, they could easily be noticed by groups of Great Demons.

If scattered, although their resistance might be weaker, the likelihood of being wiped out all at once would be much smaller, with everyone’s survival relying solely on their own luck.

Many leaders looked at the chaotic flow of elements around them and felt it was quite mystical.

Chen Qing had hidden them within this array’s space, using the mixed elements to cover their aura, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t be found.

Once discovered, in this narrow fragmented space, there would be no way to escape!

"We don’t have many paths to choose from..." one tall Heavenly General sighed, "The only path is either to break through ourselves or hide in corners praying not to be found by demons, how good can it get? The key is what do we do afterwards, where do we go?"

The one speaking was Chen Yang, who possessed the Celestial Horse bloodline.

A group of Divine Generals surrounding him remained silent. The question of where to go was a real problem. Having lived for many years in Heaven’s Court, asking them to return to the days of wandering in Outer Space would definitely be met with immense unwillingness, but what else could they do?

"Chen Qing’s idea is bold enough, but if it succeeds, at least we’ll have the chance to save the place we’ve lived in for so many years. This is our home, have you forgotten? Why did we endure servility just to do chores in Heaven’s Court once upon a time?"

Many Heavenly Soldiers of demon ancestry fell silent immediately.

In many of their genetic memories, there exists the fear of having their homes once destroyed by Heavenly Demons, so they’ve been avoiding them all along, and Outer Space is not a good home, poor in resources and full of even more terrifying species, there’s never a chance for a good sleep, how could there be the feeling of a home?

Honestly, from the time they were born, although the masters here looked down upon them, this was the only place that gave them the feeling of a home.

"Let’s take a chance, just like we did back then," Chen Yang said, "If we succeed, we’ll profit hugely, even if we fail, it’s not a loss. Without Chen Qing, we’d have to break through anyway."

Everyone, upon hearing this, gradually became persuaded, looked toward Outer Space with anticipation. Chen Qing had already gone out for a day; they couldn’t see anything outside, couldn’t feel anything, they could only wait silently, truly feeling every second passing like a year.

Time passed by slowly, with the flow of time here differing greatly from the outside, everyone endured the wait, some with agitated bloodlines had even reddened eyes.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone into the space.

All Divine Generals tensed their muscles, many Heavenly Soldiers could hardly restrain their Qi and blood from surging, but remembering Chen Qing’s previous instructions, they forcefully suppressed themselves.

The flood of elements within the spatial array could indeed conceal their aura, but it requires self-restraint. If Qi and blood explode it would be easy to be discovered, even if some demons manage to sneak in, trying to resolve them quietly without panicking!

Everyone held their breath, cautiously watching the source of light, if a Great Demon had sneaked in, they would resolve it with the agreed Assassination Formation.

But when the light faded, what appeared was a woman clothed entirely in purple.

The moment this woman appeared, everyone’s heart skipped a beat; could it be...

"Everyone, take your positions!" A cold voice rang out, "The Great Formation closing will bring stronger elemental currents, don’t get caught up in them!"

"Zi... Lady Ziyue?" Chen Yang asked cautiously.

Chen Qing said before, if it’s Ziyue who returns, then... it means the plan succeeded!

Could it be, it really succeeded?

An unreal feeling of joy surged in their hearts, everyone felt light as if floating, some almost losing their balance.

"Rise!" Ziyue didn’t elaborate but swiftly activated the Dharma Seal.

Chen Qing was indeed bold, yet his judgment was truly precise.

The Heavenly King’s Army immediately pursued Wang Lingguan, and most of the Great Demons encircling outside were attracted by the Heavenly King’s Army, coupled with the breakthrough by the leaders from the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

In an instant, at least ninety percent of the demons were temporarily drawn to Outer Space.

An excellent opportunity, though some demons remained sweeping through Heaven’s Court, Chen Qing’s plan had almost succeeded substantially!

"Lock!" With her memory, Ziyue’s Spiritual Power quickly drained, even though there were some Heavenly Crystals supplementing, the consumption was immensely taxing, forcefully repairing the damaged part of the spatial array resulted in enormous exhaustion.

"Listen up, everyone!" Ziyue shouted sharply, "One hundred and thirty breaches will mend within an hour. Most demons outside have been drawn away, but there are still many Demon Kings inside, you must guard these breaches for at least an hour before the Great Formation can restart, understood?"

Breaches?

All Divine Generals were startled but quickly realized this might be their last chance!

"Please, sir, instruct the positions, we will hold them even if it costs us our lives!"

Everyone was infatuated with excitement, they did not fear battle, only meaningless death!

Previously, guarding breaches was meaningless, just to buy withdrawal time for the Heavenly King’s Army, a kind of death truly insignificant, but it’s different now, as long as they get through, Heaven’s Court can regain its hold.

Though with a change in rulers, at least on the surface Chen Qing seemed much more reliable than those old fogies back in the day.

Soon, many Divine Generals, hiding their Qi and blood, along with their teams rushed towards the hundreds of breaches.

Although they did it silently, they were quickly discovered by most demons.

A fierce battle of offense and defense was about to commence.

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

"What’s going on?"

At that moment, the most shocked were the Star Officials who had broken through within the Twenty-Eight Constellations. They hadn’t completely evacuated but immediately sensed that Heaven’s Court’s Great Formation was being restored.

This realization made them excited beyond measure, could it be the old Heavenly Emperor has revived?

Or perhaps Lord Ziwei has returned?

No matter what, returning to Heaven’s Court is undoubtedly better than forcefully breaking through to face demise in the Mortal World.

Almost without hesitation, the scattered Twenty-Eight Constellations led their elite subordinates to hurry back, but when they reached the location of the breaches, seeing those guarding the breaches, an uneasy feeling welled up in their hearts.

"Is it you?" Various Star Officials exclaimed in surprise, recognizing their Divine Generals engaging in battles with the demons. How could they not recognize their own subordinates?

"Good, very good!" Several Star Officials exclaimed, "All are fine warriors, don’t panic, I’ll assist you!"

But just as they were about to act, they suddenly observed that their former subordinates’ surging Qi and blood, along with hostility in an instant turned towards them!!!
