"It's Chief Wei!"

Zhu Yun recognized the lightning to the south as belonging to the great Chief Wei Lingxiao, and equally, he recognized the City God Temple that appeared right after as being from the City God beyond the heavens, his expression changing, "Chief Wei has been intercepted."

Everyone stood frozen in place, their expressions somewhat grim.

As expected, the heavenly forces were well-prepared; Chief Wei had been intercepted as soon as he appeared, unable to provide support to Azure Sky City.

Xiao Mu had anticipated this earlier. He, along with Zun and Huang Yuan, had entered the Canglin Region to provide support when Zun and Huang Yuan were blocked by Zou Zhi of the Five Elements Sect.

The opposition from the heavens was well-prepared, having arrangements in place to counter every form of rescue from the human world.

Zhao Xu's expression was ugly as he said, "It seems Xiao Mu was right, the preparations by the heavenly forces are indeed thorough. Cutting off our support is surely part of their scheme."

"Maybe they truly are summoning the arrival of Divine Monarch Guobao."

Mei Jun glanced at Xiao Mu, "We cannot just sit and wait for death. We must find a way to stop the arrival of Divine Monarch Guobao. Otherwise, once Divine Monarch Guobao arrives, not to mention us, even Azure Sky City won't be safe, nor the Human Emperor's Daoist Temple."

Everyone fell silent once again; the destruction of the Human Emperor's Daoist Temple would delay the resurrection process of the Human Emperor. With a major offensive from the Heavenly Court, the human world would invariably turn into Hell.

Not to mention, should Divine Monarch Guobao's arrival be successful, no one in the human world would be a match for him.

"Stop the arrival of Divine Monarch Guobao?"

Zhu Yun thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, stopping the arrival of Divine Monarch Guobao is indeed the most urgent matter and the best method. But how shall we stop it? Rush out all at once? Engage the enemy in battle?"

Speaking of battle, everyone again lapsed into silence.

Engaging in battle with the celestial forces at this time, no one had the confidence of victory, not even if Wu Yan had become the Netherlord and significantly increased his power.

However, no one believed that Wu Yan alone had the power to change the overall situation.

"Of course, direct battle is out of the question."

Mei Jun shook his head, suggesting, "Perhaps we can secretly send people out of the city to sabotage the arrival ceremony of Divine Monarch Guobao."

"Sabotage the ceremony?"

Zhao Xu took up the conversation, "The ceremony for Divine Monarch Guobao's arrival will surely be heavily guarded. The danger level of sabotaging the ceremony is no less than engaging in direct battle. Moreover, who shall we send to sabotage the ceremony? Who has the ability to disrupt the arrival ceremony of Divine Monarch Guobao?"

Zhu Yun, Zhao Xu, Mei Jun, Chen Fushi, Qu Jingyu, including Li Qi, all looked towards Wu Yan at the same time.

After becoming the Netherlord, Wu Yan's power was the strongest among them. If they were to secretly send someone to sabotage the ceremony of Divine Monarch Guobao's arrival, Wu Yan was undeniably the most suitable candidate.

Wu Yan, seeing everyone's gaze turn to him at once, immediately said, "Elders Zhu, Zhao, respected elders, if sabotage is indeed the only method, for the sake of the Alliance, I, Wu Yan, cannot shirk this responsibility!"

"Leader Wu's courage is commendable!"

Zhu Yun approved, "We will certainly fully cooperate with Leader Wu, creating convenience for you and ensuring that you won't have to recklessly face danger."

Then, turning towards Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, you've seen the ceremony site where the heavenly forces summon Divine Monarch Guobao, what is the defensive power like at the site? What masters are there? Please share with us so we can make targeted arrangements."

Xiao Mu regretfully said, "Elder Zhu, I'm afraid I'll let you down. I'm not clear on the defensive forces of the ceremony site, as the security was too strict, and I had no chance to infiltrate."

"However, at the entrance alone, there were seven or eight Mutated Beings from the Yin God Realm and two strong figures from the Early Divine Spirit Realm guarding. Regarding the strength of the two Divine Spirit Realm strong figures, I took a careful look; one was in the early stage and the other in the middle stage, both masters with Spirit Tablets."

"A wolf's den, a tiger's lair; you refrained from recklessly adventuring inside and acted prudently, no one can blame you for that."

Zhu Yun consoled Xiao Mu with his words, then turned to the others, "According to Xiao Mu, even the entrance is guarded by two Divine Spirit Realm masters with Spirit Tablets, the inner defense must be even stronger."

"Let's assume there are also two Divine Spirit Realm strong figures inside."

"I'm afraid it's more than that..." Zhao Xu interrupted Zhu Yun's words, "The guard inside must be stronger than the outer defenses, not to mention, someone must preside over the arrival ceremony of Divine Monarch Guobao, right?"

"Who would preside? The individual qualified to preside over the arrival ceremony of a True God like Divine Monarch Guobao must be much more powerful than the rest."

"Taking into account the inside guards, I think there must be at least three to four Divine Spirit Realm strong figures at the ceremony site."

"Let's assume there are four Divine Spirit Realm strong figures," Zhu Yun replied without disputing Zhao Xu's statement, going on, "Let's say there are four Divine Spirit Realm strong figures at the ceremony site, one of them is far stronger than the others; let's assume they are at the late stage, no, the peak of the realm, and the other three are at the middle and late stages, plus one at the Early Divine Spirit Realm and one in the middle stage guarding the entrance..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yun's expression gradually changed.

He hadn't even included the Mutated Beings from the Yin God Realm in his calculations, only the Divine Spirit Realm strong figures from the celestial forces, but even so, his expression immediately darkened upon making the calculations.

The other people's expressions also turned somber.

The strength of the celestial forces was too overwhelming, just the site for summoning Divine Monarch Guobao far surpassed that of Azure Sky City.

Elder Mei Jun spoke with a strained tone, a bitter smile on his face, "According to Elder Zhu's calculations, we would have to mobilize our entire force just to have a chance of disrupting the ceremony site."

Zhao Xu's spirit deflated, speaking despondently, "I think even if we mobilize our entire force, we might still not be able to disrupt the ceremony site."
