Chapter 966: Chapter 796: Father-In-Law Who Brings Funding to the Group_2

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto couldn’t help but exhale a long breath of stale air, then his body also transformed into a yellow moon, hanging behind Tensho.

"Underworld Moon!"

His mother, Izanami, was the ’God of Yomomeido,’ and could be regarded as Yomomeido itself.

However, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto was the ruler of this Yomomeido.

His divine power could make the spirits of all ghost gods more solid, less likely to shatter.

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto poured all his divine power into it, knowing that now was not the time to hold anything back.

Susano no O’s expression was grave as he beckoned to the Void, then he held the ’Totsuka no Tsurugi’ in his left hand and the ’Kusanagi no Tsurugi’ in his right, his entire body also turning into a raging storm.

At that instant, the Seven Cloud Warships, with a total of three hundred and sixty cannons, all spewed flames at the same moment, emitting a thunderous roar that split the heavens.

At the same time, the black gold armored soldiers also pulled their triggers, spraying a deadly barrage at the ghost god army opposite them.

But what happened next left all the Fusou gods trembling with fear.

After their first volley, these black gold armored soldiers took only two breaths to reload, then once again aimed their dark muzzles forward.

"No!"

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto couldn’t help but cry out in despair, but the black gold armored soldiers heartlessly commenced a second volley.

At this point, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto had no time to pay attention to anything else, because a one-armed Wen-shi had already appeared before him, who, upon attacking, confused and disrupted his so-called ’Death’ Rule of Extreme Heaven and caused the moon he had become to blaze fiercely.

Two days later, when Li Xuan entered into Heiankyo, into the Fusang Royal Palace Hall, he saw the unblinking severed head of the current Shogunate General, Ashikaga Yoshinori, on the steps before him.

The corners of Li Xuan’s lips twitched slightly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he sent the bloody head flying a hundred yards away.

However, while the head was mid-flight, Zhang Yue caught it.

"You came too soon yourself and now you complain about the corpse getting in the way."

Zhang Yue tenderly placed Ashikaga Yoshinori’s head into his Qiankun bag while speaking with a hint of complaint, "If you had come just a moment later, I assure you this place would have been spotless."

Li Xuan disdained this head, but Zhang Yue couldn’t afford to ignore it; it was his battle achievement.

His expedition to Fusou and beheading of the enemy chieftain was something that could make him a marquis.

From the previous Meng Wu battle, Zhang Yue had already obtained the hereditary title of an earl. This merit in Fusou could enable him to be among the marquises.

But Li Xuan’s lip corners twitched even more disdainfully, "Don’t you mind that the head has dirtied your Qiankun bag? With me here, who can covet your merit?"

He then strode into the hall, and afterward saw Xue Yunrou leading a group of Zhengyi Sect spellcasters, casting spells around the throne.

They were controlling the local barrier, opening the way to Takamagahara.

At this moment, a gigantic black cloud vortex had already appeared above Heiankyo.

Just by seeing this, Li Xuan knew the portal was about to open.

With hands clasped behind his back, he looked up at the sky, "Next, I’ll need to trouble my father-in-law. I will have my troops support with all their firepower."

Li Xuan’s ’father-in-law’, naturally, is none other than the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Shenghai.

This person also nodded without hesitation, "I will give it my all."

Ao Shenghai was aware that Li Xuan wanted him to bring three hundred thousand sea demons possessing the ability to traverse space so they could be used as expendables in the assault on Takamagahara.

Ao Shenghai didn’t see anything wrong with this; if it were him, he wouldn’t recklessly throw those forty thousand gun armored soldiers into close-quarters combat to needlessly expend their strength either.

If the East Sea Dragon Clan had nothing to gain from Fusou, they could have declined Li Xuan’s request.

But at this moment, with the complete takeover of Fusou’s water system just around the corner, the dragons under his command were all agitated and howling for action.

Ao Shenghai, being wise, knew that the relationship between him and his son-in-law could not be severed.

In this battle for Fusou, regardless of whether they land or not, they had already deeply offended the Fusou Emperor.

Therefore, after his subordinates expressed a desire to continue participating, Ao Shenghai simply went with the flow.

"My son-in-law!"

Ao Shenghai then shifted his gaze towards the seven Cloud Warships hovering near the dark vortex.

"If I wish to order warships, armor, and firearms like these from the Shenqi Union, would there be any obstacles? And how much would these guns and cannons be worth?"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but recall the second ’Battle of Naniwakyo’ two days prior, and his brows twitched slightly.

Without a doubt, that was a massacre. Under the devastating strikes of gunfire and cannon fire, that 1.5 million-strong ghost god army, seemingly formidable, was slaughtered in just a shichen and a half.

Even gods like Tensho and Tsukuyomi life, who frantically burned their Yuan Qi, could not turn around their defeat. They couldn’t even manage to get their ghost god forces out of that dense hail of bullets.

In Ao Shenghai’s eyes, the once profoundly deep Fusou gods were so fragile that they fell under Li Xuan’s iron hooves.

Ao Shenghai felt deeply that the era had changed.

Ao Shenghai instinctively craved these weapons, but he knew the Shenqi Union was an industry controlled by Li Xuan, and his orders could not bypass his son-in-law.

Li Xuan, upon hearing this, was not surprised at all. After the two battles in heaven and earth, if Ao Shenghai had no reaction, that would be disappointing.

He immediately responded with a brilliant smile, "To be honest with my father-in-law, these firearms are not only the foundation of my Heavenly Court but also the support for your son-in-law’s future conquests across the myriad realms. Therefore, items such as the Black Gold Divine Armor and the percussion rifles are strictly not for sale. Even the Great Jin Dynasty’s Court and the Shenqi Union currently only sell second-rate firearms."

Ao Shenghai knew what ’strictly not for sale’ meant— the East Sea Dragon Clan must submit to Li Xuan’s ’Heavenly Court’.

Ao Shenghai fell into deep thought, then realized he wasn’t particularly resistant to the idea.

The upside of submission was that the East Sea Dragon Clan would be entirely tied to Li Xuan’s Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang.

This would allow both parties to have strong allies and thus benefit from each other.

Their dragon clan could obtain those powerful firearms and armor, and Li Xuan’s authority could be further expanded.

Holding the Haotian Seal, every bit of authority, influence, and prestige that grew would make the Rule of Extreme Heaven known as ’Divine Power’ even more formidable and terrifying.

The downside would be if Li Xuan, in his ambition for the Heaven Emperor’s throne, were to bring any disaster, the dragon clan would have to bear it together.

Gazing at Ao Shuying, who had transformed into the shape of the Black Dragon in the sky, Ao Shenghai, with a heavy heart, said, "If I were to order twenty thousand sets of Black Gold Divine Armor, twenty thousand percussion rifles, five Cloud Warships, and the same type of cannons, how many Silver Coins would be needed?"
