Chapter 953: Chapter 954: The Prelude to War!

In the depths of the Yan Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, there was an immensely grand palace from which a pillar of light shot straight into the boundless sky above, a sight unseen by ordinary people.

Inside this palace was an equally magnificent altar, the very Main Altar Teleportation Array of the Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, many people stood here, so many that the crowd extended into the vast grounds outside!

The open area was densely crowded, and the cultivation of each person here was quite formidable to most of the current players.

When the order from the Yan Emperor was received, everyone sprang into action...

The first to move were six Moon Awe Taoists, who stood within this altar. Then a strange light enveloped them and they disappeared from view.

Correspondingly, the six Moon Awe Taoists appeared within the Immortal Guild’s Teleportation Array, their appearances almost identical to the native residents around them, clearly having used Taoist magic to alter their forms.

One could see that in the vast Guild Teleportation Array, there were natives everywhere, and light shimmered into existence in every corner, with a figure appearing with each emergence of light.

At this time, this group of natives was slowly moving outward, with staff outside the array guiding them along.

There was no doubt that this was a large-scale transfer of personnel.

One of the Taoists looked up, his gaze faint as he observed the sky, where many figures hovered, the members of the Immortal Guild. Almost all members of the Immortal Guild were equipped with wings, and now they were spectating this spectacular phenomenon.

In their vision, all the people below were marked with a status that distinguished between friend and foe, which meant that Immortal Guild members could not discern who was an enemy and who was an ally!

But!

But in the System alerts for Chu You and Zhao Feifei, different information was being displayed!

System: Strangers from the Eastern Fortress have teleported into your guild’s Teleportation Array!

System: Strangers from the Eastern Fortress have teleported into your guild’s Teleportation Array!

System: Strangers from the Imperial Palace have teleported into your guild’s Teleportation Array!

System: Strangers from the Eastern Fortress have entered your guild’s Teleportation Array!

System: Strangers from the Imperial Palace have teleported into your guild’s Teleportation Array!

...

Zhao Feifei quickly noticed the difference in the System prompts, but Chu You, who was in the midst of healing Jin Chuiduo with his eyes closed, did not notice this discrepancy.

Zhao Feifei’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening in shock as she instantly realized something!!

She swiftly forced herself to calm down.

Guild channel: Ye Nixuan: Everyone, prepare!! The enemy has appeared, the enemy is in the Teleportation Array, everyone get ready for battle!!

Guild channel: Ye Nixuan: Everyone, prepare!! The enemy has appeared, the enemy is in the Teleportation Array, everyone fully prepare for battle!!

After that, Zhao Feifei activated the Immortal Guild’s Alert Status!

Instantly, all the offensive devices of Immortal Guild were activated; the red crystals on the towers shone with a red glow, though these weapons were not comparable to fortress armaments.

At that moment, Chu You opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with fury and iciness!

When Zhao Feifei activated the alert status, an alarming prompt directly sounded in his mind, snapping him back to reality.

At this moment, all members of the Immortal Guild heard this exceedingly loud alert.

Suddenly, the faces of the Immortal Guild players who were initially spectating turned pale with shock!

After activating the alert, Zhao Feifei also activated other Status Skills of the guild!

: Activate Eye of Arrays: Other status skills of the Mountain Protection Array Barrier are now live! (Unlocked by the 8th-level Guild Divine Tree, this skill has been upgraded to level 9 status by Chu You!)

: Activate the Omnipotent Gain Divine Tree!

: Activate the Divine War Tree!

These were both new features unlocked at level 9 of the guild.

As Zhao Feifei wielded her guild management authority, the entire Immortal Guild ’came to life’!

The ground of the Immortal Guild was suffused with magical energy flows and runes appeared and disappeared intermittently; not only that, but the Guild Skill Tree even ’opened its eyes’.

"Duo Duo, swear allegiance to me immediately!" Chu You suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Are the enemies coming?"

"Yes, once my base is declared treasonous, the situation here will be unfavorable for all of you!"

System: Strangers from the eastern fortress have entered your Guild Teleportation Array!

System: Strangers from the Imperial Palace have been transported to your Guild Teleportation Array!

"So fast..." Jin Chuiduo muttered to herself.

"You will all be damaged, and this is a serious interference for my two Sun Awe Cultivators," she said as she called for St. Rahatia to rush to the teleportation array and ordered her to show no mercy to anyone trying to fly out directly!

She also commanded the Divine Pet Emperor to guard the core guild building.

Jin Chuiduo also sensed the extraordinary urgency of the Immortal Guild, and she knew the gravity of the choices that involved her!

She truly hadn’t expected that the Court’s actions would be so swift, so swift that even Jin Chuiduo was struggling to keep up.

The eastern fortress had already allied with the Immortal Guild, but this alliance was based on both parties being of the Yan Kingdom attribute. If one party were declared traitorous, then the alliance would become a meaningless document, rendered ineffective.

In Chu You’s mind, this period was indeed critical, and there was simply no time to approve each of the original eastern fortress inhabitants for membership. So he intended to arrange for all of them to be stationed at established strongholds until the crisis was past and then to join the guild en masse.

But now, it was clear that events were not unfolding as desired.

"Okay, I accept your offer," Jin Chuiduo responded immediately.

"Also, we must close the pathway to the eastern fortress immediately, or... if they come over now, it’s certain death!" Chu You looked at her gravely.

Because once the fight began, once declared traitorous by the Court, the Immortal Guild’s teleportation routes would be completely severed—apart from the Wilderness Teleportation Arrays within Yan Kingdom, no other teleportation channel could be used anymore, meaning a considerable number of eastern fortress inhabitants would truly be unable to come over.

At the same time, even if they managed to arrive now, they would face extremely perilous conditions.

Once the battle began, once branded traitors, the Immortal Guild’s various buffs, except for its own members, would not recognize anybody! The range skills thrown out would not distinguish friend from foe!

"We have no other choice."

"I have your Soul of Taoist with me, so you can teleport over directly once I get there."

"Mhm."

"Order all your capable personnel to join the guild first!"

"Alright, I will immediately send a message on your signal to gather at your location!"

At this moment, the transmission prompts coming from the Imperial Palace showed no signs of stopping!

This also meant that more and more enemies were appearing within the guild!

At that moment, Chu You had an idea, and corresponding to that, energy surged around the Divine Pet Emperor, who was far at the core guild building. She extended her hand and pointed to the side; immediately after, Chu You appeared there, and in the next moment, Jin Chuiduo also appeared beside Chu You.

The two of them arrived almost instantly at the location based on different summonings and coordinates.

Subsequently, the doors of the core building opened, and Jin Chuiduo and Chu You charged in together. Then Jin Chuiduo placed her hand on the guild’s core crystal inside, and immediately, a brilliant light emerged.

Chu You immediately accepted Jin Chuiduo’s allegiance, and just like that, Jin Chuiduo joined the guild.

System: NPC Jin Chuiduo has joined the guild!

Then Chu You directly and completely closed the teleportation array’s pathway.

Suddenly, no one else could come through the teleportation array.

"It seems they’ve noticed us," a plain-looking Taoist said among the crowd.

"Indeed, but what of it, hehe...."

"Has everyone been teleported over?" asked a Taoist with a furrowed brow, surveying the strangeness around him. In truth, from deep within, he felt unwell as the Immortal Guild consecutively activated buffs. Although they didn’t affect him, he knew that once combat erupted, those powerful statuses would make everyone suffer!

"The teleportation array has been closed!" one person announced in the ’multiplayer secret group chat space.’

"What do we do now?" another Taoist asked, also with a frown.

"Notify the Yan Emperor that he can begin."

Right at that moment, as players from Huaxia, they all received a game announcement notification.

Huaxia Announcement: Player ’Ling Yi Er San Si’ has activated a Level 5 Huaxia Merit Transformation at the Mountain Viewing Site!

This announcement hinted at the certain commencement of something to those players who either held or had gleaned insider information.

That was that the Yan Kingdom’s Court was about to officially declare war on the Immortal Guild!
