Lin Yu was naturally also very concerned about the situation in the south.
However, he is alone and currently guarding the East China Sea, so he is unable to be in two places at once.
The lizardmen and Omi were clearly well-prepared this time, aiming to make things difficult for Great Xia.
If he goes south now, and Japan attacks from the East China Sea, there will surely be widespread suffering and death.
He was quite familiar with the land of Japan, and knew that there were a few false gods there.
However, he was never afraid. Even if a true god came, he wouldn't be afraid, so why would he be afraid of a false god?
Our great Xia Dynasty has countless gods and spirits, and we have no fear of these petty villains!
However, the current situation is indeed a problem, as he has to deal with both ends at once. Even if he doesn't go south, he still needs to send someone to resolve the issue.
"Sect Master!"
A gust of wind blew by, and the ghostly figure drifted in like the wind, arriving behind Lin Yu.
It was Feng Jiu, whom we hadn't seen for a long time.
Feng Jiu has been overseeing the military affairs for Lin Yu these days, especially the Feng Army. The Iron Pagoda only obeys the orders of one person, Lin Yu. Without Feng Jiu as a capable assistant, Hua Zhen would have a hard time controlling the situation in the Northeast.
The title "Jade-faced Yama" wasn't given lightly. Even with the current turbulent situation, the entire Northeast remains as solid as a rock, an impregnable fortress.
"What's the situation in the south right now?" Lin Yu asked.
Feng Jiu sighed, "The two young ladies of the Feng family have met with misfortune one after another. It seems that the lizardmen are indeed coming on strong this time, especially those flying saucers and Reva. They are products of a different era, far beyond our own, and we are completely powerless to resist them! More than a dozen heavy brigades have been scattered and can only fight guerrilla warfare. If we fight them, we are as weak as those with millet and rifles!"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Just what is the strength of those Reva?"
Feng Jiu thought for a moment and said, "According to the intelligence we obtained from our Dark Division brothers, their strength is at least at the middle level of Martial Saint, and some have even reached the peak of Martial Saint, touching the Profound Realm. They already have the strength of a half-step Profound Realm. Especially that Shi Tingfang, who already has the strength of the Profound Realm, and he has already obtained the quasi-divine weapon Overlord Spear. It can be said that if he were to unleash his full power, he would not be completely without a chance against Changsheng!"
"Shi Tingfang..."
Lin Yu murmured the name. He had a deep impression of this person. The future successor of the Divine Bloodline, however, went underground to save him and has now become a traitor who has lost himself.
"It's all my fault, sigh!" Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He felt deeply guilty that the people of Shenxue sacrificed so much to save him.
"Sect Master, there's no need to blame yourself. This is something no one could have foreseen. If anyone is to blame, it's that cunning lizardman who turned a perfectly good person into this, even making him turn against his own family. He's utterly despicable!" Feng Jiu said with a face full of resentment.
He was disgusted by the lizardmen's despicable methods.
"I heard this was all done by a lizardman named Adam, and he also started this war. If I ever see him, I will tear him to pieces!"
Lin Yu nodded. "We must avenge our defeat, but we can't afford to lose our composure! I reckon those Japanese guys are mostly going to cross the sea to fight. I'm planning to stay in Changbai Mountain and can't leave, so I'm thinking of holding a martial arts tournament to gather all the hidden sects and independent cultivators from the entire Great Xia Dynasty to jointly defend against the foreign invaders in the south. You need to get this done as soon as possible!"
"this……"
Feng Jiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sect Master, as you know, it's true that there are some powerful hidden sects in our Great Xia, but they have never felt any sense of belonging to Great Xia. Even when the Japanese invaded before, they didn't make a move. And this time, our Great Xia is beset by internal and external troubles, and there are also powerful lizardmen. I'm afraid they will choose to protect themselves even more!"
Lin Yu nodded. "These ancient sects have no concept of family or country, so it's really unrealistic to recruit them. But don't forget, everyone in the world is driven by profit. If I offer them enough benefits, they might come!"
"Benefits?" Feng Jiu smiled wryly. "They have accumulated countless riches over the past thousands of years, and there are no shortage of rare and precious materials. What kind of benefits would it take to entice them?"
Lin Yu said calmly, "If I told them that I could create ten immortals and three hundred profound realm experts, do you think they would be tempted?"
"What?" Feng Jiu was taken aback.
There are only a handful of Xuan Realm experts, even those with divine blood, who are the most elite beings in the world.
However, Lin Yu immediately asked for three hundred! This...
"What? You don't believe me?" Lin Yu frowned.
Feng Jiu quickly shook her head, "How could I dare to doubt you, Pavilion Master? It's just that they might not believe it! They might even think you're just making empty promises!"
Lin Yu said calmly, "As long as the pie is big enough, I'm not afraid they won't take the bait! You know, there are many old guys in these sects whose lifespans are almost over. Only by achieving immortality can they continue to live. Either way, they're going to die. Since I, the Human Emperor, have said it out loud, why don't they dare to take a gamble?"
Feng Jiu's expression froze for a moment, then she nodded. "Indeed, fortune favors the bold. This pie is indeed huge. You are the Human Emperor, and a monarch's word is law. How dare they doubt you? I think anyone who can still move their arms and legs will probably want to come to Changbai Mountain for a visit!"
Lin Yu nodded. "Go ahead. Time is running out. If I'm not mistaken, they will soon launch a joint attack from the north and south, targeting the interior of our Great Xia. Hurry up and get it done!"
"yes!"
Feng Jiu accepted the order and disappeared into the vast mist.
Lin Yu squinted, gazing at the boundless coastline, his eyes seemingly piercing through the vast white mist and focusing on the sky above the Japanese islands.
In that instant, in a damp cave, the bronze mirror trembled violently, revealing a strange face.
"Hmph! The Human Emperor? After so many years, I'd like to try the Xuanyuan Bow again. I just don't know how much power this divine weapon left behind by Hou Yi can still unleash in your hands! Hehehe!"
Lin Yu's prediction was correct.
Just two days later, the Japanese declared war on the Great Xia at sea.
Leading the group was the new emperor of Japan, Naruto Ryūhiro.
Huge warships sailed along the East China Sea; although they were warships, their size had already reached the level of aircraft carriers.
Hundreds of thousands of naval personnel have assembled, creating a formidable and imposing force!
As for the Great Xia, Lin Yu had already given the order, so the entire navy was sent south to provide support.
Therefore, the East China Sea is basically empty and undefended. The calm sea surface is completely visible.
Meanwhile, Feng Jiu had already released Lin Yu's information.
The various hidden sects immediately began to discuss the matter.
The Human Emperor plans to create ten immortals and three hundred profound realm beings in Changbai Mountain.
Is this just bluffing, or is it enticing them with benefits to risk their lives?
