Chapter 4128 - Lord Yue! Lord Yue!
The atmosphere in the palace lightened considerably after Jiang Tianzhou, Tianming, and the other Jiang clan cosmic gods left. Feng Buhuo raised a glass and toasted Granny Pu. "You should be at ease at your age, but instead, you've handled all this pressure, risked being seen as disrespectful to the ancestor, and went way out of your way to convince Starlord Jiang. Your open-mindedness and courage is truly humbling."
"Starlord Feng, you flatter me! I don’t deserve your compliments," Granny Pu sighed.
"You’re too modest. The Tian Jiu Cult has mobilized all its forces, and their real motive is invading Grand Jiang. With their home on the brink of collapse, they’ll be desperate once the fighting starts. You rescued Grand Jiang by getting Starlord Jiang to change his mind. That's a huge accomplishment,” said Meng Xinlan, the grand princess of Grand Meng.
"That being said..." Grandma Pu sighed, "With ninety million cosmic gods, they’ll be desperate enough to attack Grand Jiang if we don't leave the star. We're outnumbered two to one, even if we have the protection of the astralguard formation. It’s unclear if we can hold our position."
Staring toward the direction Tianming had gone, Pu Fengyun said, "Those from the Ancestral Realm are in greater need of territory than Grand Xia. Li Tianming is pushing for a mutually destructive battle so his army can reap the benefits. A bloody war on Grand Jiang would leave both sides vulnerable, giving the flameyellow voidkin the perfect opportunity."
Their relief quickly turned into gloom. Granny Pu sighed, eyes welling up with tears. "In these troubled times, we’re surrounded by snakes and wolves. Disaster and suffering will befall Grand Jiang!”
The others couldn’t bear to see her sobbing and gasping.
"Your commitment to preserving your homeland for future generations is truly admirable." Feng Buhuo exchanged a meaningful glance with Meng Xinlan before adding, "The three million troops we initially sent were to serve as a wake-up call for Starlord Jiang. Since he’s chosen to take a step back, we’re willing to send two million more for the sake of our friendship. You can count on five million of our cosmic gods to aid in your defense!"
Meng Xinlan nodded. "We’ll provide another two million in reinforcements as well."
This brought the number of cosmic god warriors on Grand Jiang to fifty million. Though incomparable to the Tian Jiu Cult’s ninety million, the other stars had done their best, collectively contributing twenty million cosmic gods.
