Shao Deng rolled his eyes. He did not like this kind of person who betrayed his master at the last minute.
Although Shao Deng had also betrayed the Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning.
In the final analysis, that was after the great war. During the great calamity, Shao Deng was still at the forefront of fighting for his life.
Ding Guang was happy to see this expression on his face. He was greatly displeased.
However, he could not say anything more!
After so many years, it was not the first time that he had been despised by others.
He snorted coldly and did not say anything more.
Shao Deng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Now that the Seven Phoenixes sect has a saint holding down the fort, they might have some tricks up their sleeves. Let’s not provoke them for the time being. Let’s focus on the frontal battlefield. If my guess is correct, the Heavenly Court’s reinforcements will arrive in a few days. We need to expand our influence during this period of time!”
From this point of view, Shao Deng was actually more responsible than Yun Xiao and the others.
Now that he had returned to the Western Church, he was truly thinking for the Western Church.
From the great calamity, it was a goal to kill as many quasi-saints and saints as possible.
But at the same time, it was also his goal to help Lingshan obtain victory this time.
In the following days, Lingshan’s forces began to expand rapidly in the southeast star area. In just a few months, they were already on par with the Heavenly Court, and their battle lines had also been greatly lengthened.
The Heavenly Court was short-handed, causing them to retreat one after another!
At the same time, the Jade Emperor could not sit still. He did not simply send people over. Instead, he led the forces of the Heavenly Court out in full force.
His opponent was Mount Numinous, so he did not dare to be careless.
However, another incident happened. The Jiejiao and Chanism disciples clashed frequently.
In the end, both sides were not on good terms. Many of the people were killed by the other side. Why would they come back to cooperate?
How was that possible?
Even the Jade Emperor could not control this situation. He could only separate the two sides.
This led to even more internal rifts within the Heavenly Court.
Originally, this situation did not matter. It was even more in the interests of the Jade Emperor.
But now was not the time. With the invasion of foreign enemies, this kind of behavior could only weaken the Jade Emperor.
But then again, compared to the western worshippers, the immortals of the Heavenly Court had a worse sense of belonging. From the performance of Yun Xiao and the others, it could be seen that they were forced to join the Heavenly Court back then. How could they have a good impression of the Heavenly Court?
Now, they were using their own interests as the yardstick. Once they were released, it could even be said that they were obeying the Jade Emperor’s orders.
Actually, in terms of overall strength, the Heavenly Court still had the upper hand. However, the internal tearing of the Heavenly Court made it difficult for them to display their advantage in strength!
It was different from the previous battle, where they would randomly set up their formations. This time, both sides were more agile.
This kind of operation was common. It also caused the entire battlefield to fall into chaos and become even more dangerous.
At the same time, a third party joined the battlefield, which was all sorts of idle cultivators.
This included many mighty figures.
No one could resist the temptation of becoming a saint.
For example, Dao Lord Lu Ya, the Earth Immortal ancestor, Zhen Yuanzi, Great Mage Xuan Du, and other veteran quasi-saints also came.
These people were often faced with two choices. The first was to act alone, and the second was to join one of the two parties.
This also caused the situation to become even more chaotic.
To put it bluntly, many people simply focused on trying to mediate the fight!
How difficult would it be to fight on their own? How amazing would it be to mediate the fight!
In this chaotic situation, Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi also rushed to the front line of the conflict!
Outside a planet, Huang Xiaoqi and Lu Ping landed at the same time.
At this moment, on the planet, the two sides were engaged in a great battle.
On one side was the Western Church Arhat who had been to Fengming planet previously. He was the Elephant-Riding Arhat. Of course, he was not the only one here. There was also the Dragon Subduing Arhat, which was the Venerable Jia Ye, and the Venerable Batuo Luo, the River Crossing Arhat!
Three of the eighteen Arhats led a group of monks and started a great battle with the Heavenly Court cultivators.
On the Heavenly Court’s side, Li Jing, Nezha, Jinzha, Muzha, and Yang Jian were fighting against him!
Among them, Yang Jian was holding off the Dragon Subduing Arhat while Nezha was fighting against the River Crossing Arhat!
On the other hand, the Elephant-Riding Arhat was suppressing Li Jing, Muzha, and Nezha alone!
These three people were not strong enough. Even if the three of them worked together, they would only be able to hold off the Elephant-Riding Arhat!
Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi looked at the battlefield together. The two of them were far away, but they did not make a move.
Lu Ping had naturally made plans. Although he had given up on the mission of Fengming Planet official, he still had to pay attention when making a move.
With his and Huang Xiaoqi’s current strength, it would be best if they fought on one side.
If they provoked both Heaven Court and Mount Numinous at the same time, it would be even more difficult.
Lu Ping was still more inclined to stand on Heaven Court’s side. He knew very well that ever since Huang Xiaoqi had killed the Alms Bowl Arhat, he and Mount Numinous had been in an irreconcilable situation.
Under such circumstances, standing on Heaven Court’s side was more in line with Lu Ping’s interests.
“That’s the Elephant-Riding Arhat. We’ll find an opportunity later to kill this guy first,” Lu Ping said.
Huang Xiaoqi frowned and said, “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy. Last time I saw that guy’s mount, it was extremely fast. Moreover, his strength isn’t weak, so he might not be able to succeed!”
“Let’s give it a try. In any case, it won’t be bad!” Lu Ping said with a smile.
Huang Xiaoqi nodded.
In fact, in the overall situation, the Heavenly Court was still at a disadvantage.
