Chapter 1504: Invaders of the Kingdom of the Nine States Must Die

Ada stood in mid-air in a set of flowing crimson robes, and she too was looking at the woman before her with a complex expression.

Jin Ling and Jin Yao held onto their weapons tightly and wore extremely cautious expressions.

Both of them knew just how powerful Helen was.

The triplets were able to use a special spell formation to unleash power comparable to a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure for a short time, but during their sparring matches against Empress Helen over a hundred years ago, they had been soundly beaten every single time with no exceptions… And Helen had also held back every single time.

If she hadn’t held back, they would’ve died many times!

The fact that the three of them were now surrounding Empress Helen showed that they were prepared to die.

“I didn’t think you would dare to confront me.” Helen’s eyes were like bottomless black holes.

“It is the duty of our Four Nine Immortal Sect to defend the Kingdom of the Nine States with our lives,” Ada said in a cold and determined voice.

Helen burst into laughter with an expression of ridicule on her face. “You’re a Blood Tribe mighty figure, a sworn enemy of the human race! Don’t you find it absurd to talk about things like defending the Kingdom of the Nine States with your lives?”

“We are now members of the Four Nine Immortal Sect and have been accepted by the human race,” Jin Ling retorted.

Helen heaved a faint sigh. “I don’t know why you conceded to An Lin, but An Lin is now dead, and all of you are free. Why would you still stay at a human sect? You’ll suffer an inevitable fate of death if you stay at the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If you return to the Blood Tribe, I can use my power to grant all three of you amnesty…”

Her expression became extremely sincere as she continued, “Come back. I can forgive all of you…”

Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao’s expressions shifted, as if their hearts were wavering.

Ada paused momentarily. “Please give us ten minutes to consider.”

Helen hesitated momentarily before nodding. “Alright.”

Thus, the four of them stood silently in mid-air, completely disregarding the earth-shattering battle taking place around them.

Jin Ling and Jin Yao seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and both of them remained silent.

“Helen! Why aren’t you fighting? Hurry up and help us kill Emperor Chang Sheng!” Yi Deng was quite perplexed by the sight of the woman standing silently in mid-air.

“Give me ten minutes,” Helen replied.

Yi Deng: “???”

He didn’t know what Helen was doing, but it hardly mattered at this point. The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was very much at the end of the road, and Yi Deng continued to attack Emperor Chang Sheng.

Ada was slightly happy upon seeing this. In a normal battle against Helen, they would probably last ten minutes. Add that to the ten minutes of thinking time they had been afforded, they could buy the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army a total of twenty minutes. This was a very resourceful plan!

Ada internally praised herself for her quick-wittedness.

However, a hint of concern soon welled up in her heart.

Was twenty minutes really going to be able to change anything?

Emperor Chang Sheng had been forced firmly onto the back foot by Emperor Yi Deng and Emperor Bei Xing. At the same time, he had to divert his attention to defend against some annihilating attacks using his formation. This was simply too much for him to deal with, and he was going to be defeated sooner or later.

Zhu Xuze and Situ Feng were also in a tough battle against the seven Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals, and that battle did not look like it was going to end anytime soon.

As for the battlefield on the ground below, this was a battle between seventeen million and four million. There was simply no hope…

All of the cultivators participating in the battle forced themselves to not think along those lines. They knew that as soon as they thought about something like that, their hearts would be weighed down by despair. All they could do was fight and shed their final drop of blood for the human race!

Ten minutes soon passed.

“Time’s up. Tell me what your decision is.” Empress Helen fixed her gaze firmly on Ada.

Ada could see that Emperor Chang Sheng was already exhausted and on the brink of defeat.

Over five hundred thousand Kingdom of the Nine States United Army cultivators had been slain, and most of the rest of them were beginning to sustain wounds. There had even been six Return to Void Stage casualties…

A series of crimson figures charged toward the city wall while inky-black, twisted figures wreaked havoc atop the city wall.

Mo Hai blasted off the head of a Soul Formation Stage Blood Tribe powerful being, but its headless body continued to wave its arms around frantically, gouging a few ghastly wounds into Mo Hai’s chest with its sharp nails.

Lan Yan who loved to laugh so much wore a frosty expression as she cut through a dozen or so twisted Void Spirit Tribe living beings with her flaming sword.

Her left sleeve was already empty and completely stained by blood, but she was completely oblivious to this.

A dozen or so bodies of sect disciples lay before Elder Zhou Yu of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Purple Star Pavilion, but there were still a few dozen disciples fighting with all their might around him.

His face remained expressionless like a machine as he witnessed the fall of one familiar sect disciple after another, but his hands were trembling slightly as he assigned different duties and roles for the remaining disciples.

Their fate seemed to have already been decided, but there were almost no deserters among the several million cultivators!

“I’m sorry, Jin Ling, Jin Yao…” Ada heaved a faint sigh as she tightened her grip on her dagger.

“What are you saying, Big Sister? Your decision is the same as the one we’ve made.” Jin Ling smiled.

“The Holy Leader has shown us the way and allowed me to understand the true dao of blood. Even if he’s dead, we shouldn’t betray him,” Jin Yao chimed in.

A stunned expression appeared on Helen’s face for the first time.

They refused? They actually refused?!

After pretending to think for the past ten minutes, they refused?!

Helen had thought that she would be able to recover the triplets for sure, only to see them charging toward her now with unyielding conviction on their faces… Three pillars of crimson light erupted into the sky, and the projection of a golden woman appeared in mid-air. She wore a crimson halo on her head, and she slammed her palms viciously toward Helen’s head!

Helen extended a slender palm to the heavens.

The massive golden palm fell from the sky toward that insignificant and tiny palm, but it was suddenly stopped in its tracks before cracking down the middle, as if it had struck something completely indestructible.

However, Helen’s body was also crushed into the ground, sending lethal, gale-force winds hurtling through the air, which immediately tore over ten thousand Blood Tribe cultivators who didn’t have time to evade into shreds.

Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao immediately unleashed their combination spell formation again to send the golden projection hurtling down toward Helen.

The battle had reached its most intense point, and countless living beings were falling every single second.

The massive Nan Chao City wall had already collapsed in several hundred places.

Blood stained the entire city wall, creating a ghastly sight to behold.

The Blood Tribe army had insane life forces as usual, and the army seemed to only grow stronger. The Void Spirit Tribe army was extremely unpredictable and unsettling. Some of the more powerful ones among them could even manipulate the bodies of the fallen Kingdom of the Nine States United Army cultivators to engage in battle for them…

The battle was already beginning to become quite one-sided.

Ten minutes later, Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao were defeated by Helen. Helen’s sleeve bound the triplets in a death grip, exuding terrifying sealing force that rendered them unable to summon up any power.

“You’ve lost,” Helen said in a cold voice. There were a few gashes on her body and sections of her dress, which had been sliced open, revealing her snowy-white skin underneath.

“Emperor Chang Sheng, Zhu Xuze, and Situ Feng are next, followed by the entire Kingdom of the Nine States United Army on the southern front. You can’t do anything to change this.” Killing intent began to surface in Helen’s eyes as she spoke, “I wanted to spare your lives, but you’ve made the wrong decision, and for that, you will pay with your lives.”

Just as her voice faded, a pleasant voice suddenly erupted in the extremely far distance.

“Invader of the Kingdom of the Nine States must die!”

A galaxy of stars swept forth from the distance!
