Chapter 1045 Super Mobile Fortress

Chapter 1045 Super Mobile Fortress

A gargantuan monster that resembled a gigantic tortoise was seen moving slowly toward the Nightfall Heights.

This gigantic tortoise was not only a 10th rank profound epic beast but was also freaking gigantic!

Just exactly how big it was?

It was as huge as half the height of the Nightfall Heights Mountains and on top of its back, there was even a mountain with a citadel on it. Combined with the height of the mountain on its back, its height was now as tall as the formidable Nightfall Heights Mountains!

It resembled more like a super mobile fortress!

Thousands of Ancient Old Ones had already gathered at the edge of the Nightfall Heights and they were all looking quite grim; it was because the profound defenses of their formidable arrays were useless against this gigantic 10th rank epic profound beast.

It was a freaking 10th rank epic profound beast and their arrays' profound attacks would not be able to hurt it!

When Ji Yuan had arrived with the Cardinal Harpy, he saw that the Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao, the Cardinal Confidant, Confidant Ur Muyuan, Herald Ma Laide and Millenium Jun Feitian were already there.

Li Yifen told Ji Yuan and the rest of her hundreds of retinues, "The rest of you shall remain here in this place. Those who are at the 6th and 7th realm cultivation follow me in front."

With that, she had departed with a dozen black robed maidens to join the Cardinal Priestess.

It seemed to Ji Yuan that the Cardinal Harpy did not have too many high level cultivators in her Cathedral of the Songs.

Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang was standing next to Ji Yuan and she looked quite nervous but Ji Yuan knows that she was actually anxious for Jun Feitian and not for their Cardinal Harpy.

Ji Yuan asked Yue Wushuang, "The other Cardinals are also there too?"

The reason why he had asked was because he did not recognize them but he could tell that there were numerous high level cultivators in front of them.

Thousands of weaker cultivators like Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang were actually standing behind as they were too weak to be of any help if a fight really break out.

Yue Wushuang answered Ji Yuan, "All the Cardinals are here except for the Cardinal Tribune as he is still in seclusion. Millenium Jun Feitian is now in charge of the affairs of the tribunes…"

Then she pointed at the direction where the Cardinal Herald, the Cardinal Patriarch and the Cardinal Pope were, "That is the Cardinal Herald and his Heralds. That old man over there is the Cardinal Patriarch and his Patriarchs. And that colorful old man over there in white and red is the Cardinal Pope and his Apostles."

Ji Yuan nodded even as he extended his hearings to listen in to their conversations.

All the Cardinals that were presented were now talking panicky to the Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao.

The Cardinal Pope was saying, "I wonder why the Abyssal lords are coming today? And it seems to me that they are coming with an invasion force this time."

Xuan Qiaoqiao said unhappily as she turned to look at Millenium Jun Feitian instead, "Activate our attack arrays and blast them away."

When she had said that, Millenium Jun Feitian and the others merely returned a sheepish look and some were even sighing heavily.

Millenium Jun Feitian said solemnly, "I doubt that we can damage that approaching monster and it will be a waste of our blood crystals. Also, if we attack them first then it will be a declaration of war and this will give them a perfect excuse to attack us."

Xuan Qiaoqiao asked angrily, "So, are we waiting for them to approach our sacred Nightfall Heights without doing anything?"

Millenium Jun Feitian answered weakly, "We don't know their intentions yet. It isn't wise to attack them first…"

Then he looked in the direction of Herald Ma Laide and the Cardinal Herald, "What did our envoys have to say about this?"

The Cardinal Herald solemnly said, "I have sent 3 envoys to greet them but I can't get in touch with any of them now."

When the gargantuan profound beast was seen a hundred miles away, the first thing that the Cardinal Herald had done was to send 3 flying envoys to enquiry about the approaching abyssals' intentions.

The Cardinal Patriarch said anxiously, "In short, we don't know what happens to them or the intentions of the Abyssal King Gong Magog?"

The Cardinal Herald answered weakly, "We can only wait for them to arrive first or we can send more envoys."

Xuan Qiaoqiao said angrily, "The abyssals from the Nefarious Blood Kingdom are just too cunning. They made use of the fact that they cannot fly and did not have any flying messengers to retain our envoys. Then we can only wait or attack them while they move their super mobile fortress near to us. We don't know their numbers and there is also a array that shields their numbers. So, are we sitting ducks or what?"

The Cardinal Pope said weakly, "Maybe we are overthinking. Your marriage to the Abyssal King Gong Magog is almost finalizing. Why should the Abyssal King Gong Magog want to risk a possible alliance between our two abyssal races at this point of time? If he marries you, then he can declare himself the Abyssal Emperor."

Xuan Qiaoqiao hummed coldly, "This, you have to ask him yourself."

The Cardinal Patriarch said, "I have to agree with the Cardinal Pope. Maybe this is just a friendly visit…"

"I agree too," the Cardinal Herald said too.

Xian Qiaoqiao turned to stare at Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen and Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng, "The 2 of you also thinks the same too?"

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng weakly said, "We should not be overthinking things and not be rash."

Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen sighed softly, "No doubt that they do not have any good intentions but it isn't too late to fight later. Maybe we should try to find out what they want first."

Xuan Qiaoqiao was exasperated, "All of you! You are all pacifists! Are you thinking of sacrificing me so that you can all remain in power?! I am at least at the False Immortal level. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Millenium Jun Feitian frowned, "Your False Immortal level means nothing to the peaked abyssals. Some of the stronger ones can metamorphosis into an abyssal fiend and they are equivalent to a 8th realm cultivation. In terms of this strength alone, our race is far inferior!"

The Cardinal Pope said to Millenium Jun Feitian, "Millenium Jun Feitian, you are not yet a Cardinal Tribune. Do not be rude to our Cardinal Priestess…"

Then he turned to say to Xuan Qiaoqiao, "But I have to agree with Millenium Jun Feitian on this. If we have not lost 3 False Immortal Patriarchs in the past year alone, we may still be able to contest with them. But now, we have lost our formidable patriarch elders…"

Xuan Qiaoqiao had heard of this story too many times; that was the reason why the Cardinal Pope and the others were forcing her to marry the Abyssal King Gong Magog.

So she ignored him and said to the Cardinal Patriarch, "You are also a False Immortal and together, we have almost 500 7th realm cultivators here. Surely, we can mount a fight and teach them a lesson?"

The Cardinal Patriarch said weakly, "I am merely a half-step False Immortal and an old man…"

Xuan Qiaoqiao: …

She turned to the others to say coldly, "If we don't attack them now, we will never have the chance to do so later. Do you want to regret your actions later?"

But all the others were shaking their heads and refusing to endorse her.

When Ji Yuan had heard their conversations, he was also shaking his head.

But it was not because he did not agree with Xuan Qiaoqiao.

It was more like he had finally understood why Juan Xian'Er did not want to discuss her plans with Xuan Qiaoqiao.

It was because Xuan Qiaoqiao was completely tactless and was too stubborn. This would only alienate her in power play.

Ji Yuan sighed softly as he looked for an opportunity to sneak away…
