Tang Xingye said in a deep voice:

"I’m afraid I can’t hold it alone."

"Don’t worry, we definitely won’t stand idly by. By then, a large number of experts from our sect will come to support us. As long as the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect doesn’t start a full-scale war, it’s not difficult to hold the line."

"Good!"

After completing a series of plans, Tang Xingye felt a lot more confident.

Then he contacted some people, including a few discontented core disciples within the sect, agreeing to assist each other with fists.

Having completed all preparations, they just waited for the fleet to be assembled before setting off.

However, to Tang Xingye’s surprise, before they set off, the fleet of the Thousand Star Hall had attacked first. On the fifth day, they received news that three warships from the Thousand Star Hall appeared on the edge of the Endless Forest Sea.

"Dare they attack proactively?"

"Do they think that with just three floating immortal ships and fifty to sixty thousand people, they can capture our Celestial God Association?"

The entire Celestial God Association was at a loss.

Tang Xingye frowned while reviewing the information collected by his subordinates. The data showed that when the Thousand Star Hall fleet set off from Feixing Island, it did indeed consist of just three floating immortal ships and fifty to sixty thousand people, and it didn’t invite many Loose Immortal experts on Feixing Island as backup.

"What gives you the audacity to do this?"

The Tier Eight floating immortal ships are indeed very powerful, but not yet to the point where a single ship can destroy the headquarters of our Celestial God Association.

After over a hundred years of effort, our headquarters is fortified with a City Defense Array that has been reinforced multiple times. Now it is not inferior to those large sects’ Sect Defense Arrays. The total defense is as high as 1.8 billion, with multiple auxiliary mana pools supplying energy. Even if attacked by tens of millions of players, it’s difficult to break through.

But regardless of how baffling it is, the Thousand Star Hall fleet is already at our doorstep. Therefore, we can only prepare to meet the enemy.

"Transmit my order: All members, get ready for battle!"

At the edge of the Endless Forest Sea, three warships lined up in a row. Positioned in the center was the Divine Penalty Warship. On the deck of the ninth level, Su Yu and his party stood at the bow, gazing at the vast mountains in front of them.

As the fleet crossed the mountain range, in front lay an endless forest sea.

A fellow disciple from the Chixiao Sword Vein, Li Lin, pointed at the endless forest sea ahead, introducing it to Su Yu:

"This Endless Forest Sea stretches over 2.4 million kilometers. The Celestial God Association is the only Overlord-level Guild within the Endless Forest Sea. Its headquarters is located in the center, with its influence radiating over half the forest sea. Most of the medium and small guilds are its affiliates. Only about a quarter of the region near the edge on the east side near the Chixiao Sword Vein is uncontrolled by it."

Su Yu turned his gaze southward, where on the edge of the Endless Forest Sea, a gigantic peak rose high into the clouds—it was the Chixiao Sword Vein.

His gaze shifted again to the Cangshui River not far from the Chixiao Sword Peak, and he asked:

"I remember there are two River Gods in this section of the Cangshui River. Have they determined a winner yet?"

Li Lin immediately responded:

"They are close to deciding the outcome. The new River God has support from our sect and is currently prevailing. I believe it won’t take long for it to secure a complete victory."

"Hmm."

Su Yu wasn’t particularly concerned about this, so he continued to ask about other areas.

Li Lin knew everything and shared whatever he knew.

As the floating immortal ships flew over the Cangshui River and into the Endless Forest Sea, Su Yu gained a rough understanding of the Endless Forest Sea.

The three floating immortal ships passing over the Endless Forest Sea attracted a lot of attention from the local players, many of whom steered flying ships to follow.

The news of the Thousand Star Hall declaring war on the Celestial God Association had already spread like wildfire. Everyone knew that these three floating immortal ships were the Thousand Star Hall’s fleet attacking the Celestial God Association. Wherever they went, countless players followed, and by the time they entered the territory of the Celestial God Association, over a million local players had joined behind them.

The Endless Forest Sea lies in the heart of Blue Mountain Island. Although the active players in this area are slightly fewer than in the Feixing Islands, they far outnumber those on the Ten Thousand Poison Island.

According to rough estimates, the total number of active players in the Endless Forest Sea is around 15 to 20 million, while the Ten Thousand Poison Island along with its surrounding areas only exceeds 10 million, making it 1.5 to 2 times more.

Economic experts specializing in guild matters, combined with local resources of the Endless Forest Sea, speculate that if the Celestial God Association is defeated and the Endless Forest Sea is occupied, establishing a branch there would yield annual resources comparable to those from Ten Thousand Poison Island.

So whether it’s for their own authority within the sect or for benefits, the Celestial God Association must be destroyed.

A day later, the fleet crossed the Endless Forest Sea and stopped at a place only 500 kilometers from the headquarters of the Celestial God Association.

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu summoned a water mirror, showing the Celestial God Association’s headquarters city.

A massive river over a hundred kilometers wide cuts through the Endless Forest Sea, making a turn in the center, forming a "several" shape similar to the Yellow River; the Celestial God Association has built a super-large city surrounded by water on three sides within that "several" shape.

The city is fortified with hundred-meter-high walls, lined with Divine Thunder Towers, each over a hundred meters tall, clearly upgraded multiple times to advanced Divine Thunder Towers.

Under normal circumstances, the city has a resident population of three to four million, with a floating population of seven to eight million, bustling with activity.

But today, the city has been locked down, and all non-guild members have been forcibly removed by the domineering Celestial God Association.

The high-ranking members of the Celestial God Association gathered atop the city walls, gazing into the distance, their mana concentrating in their eyes, they could already see the three warships anchored far away with the naked eye.

"Indeed, just three ships, no more than 600,000 members!"

"With just this, what makes them dare to proactively attack our Celestial God Association?"

He Yuqing looked at Tang Xingye and asked:

"President, should we defend the city, or head out to meet the enemy?"

Tang Xingye pinched the bridge of his nose, momentarily unable to decide.

Logically, they held the advantage in terms of location, numbers, and overall strength, but the actions of the Thousand Star Hall were too unusual. He feared it might be a trap, and the Thousand Star Hall might have hidden strength, just waiting for them to come out of the city to fight.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally made a decision:

"Let’s defend the city first and figure out their strength before making a move."

"If it’s just a bluff, there’s no rush to leave the city."

"Alright!"

On the Heavenly Retribution Battleship, the subordinates of the Thousand Star Hall looked bewildered while waiting for Su Yu’s command. They still had no clue about Su Yu’s plan.

At this moment, Gu Zhiqiu asked:

"Boss, it seems the Celestial God Association won’t take the initiative to fight. What should we do? Should we attack the city directly or...?"

At this moment, Su Huan, the second brother, also asked:

"President, is there a plan you can reveal now?"

Other high-level members nodded:

"Yeah, if there’s any plan now, you can tell us. Honestly, taking just us to their headquarters makes me a bit nervous."

Su Yu turned around and glanced at everyone, then laughed heartily.

Returning to the main seat, he smiled and said:

"Alright, I’ll show everyone my trump card."

He waved his hand downward, and a blue light appeared, quickly spreading left and right to form a three-meter-high blue light door. A slender figure wearing a hood and veiled in a purple scarf emerged from it.

Everyone’s eyes fell on her, and they all gasped in surprise the next second:

"Wow, level 204! Where did Blue Mountain Island get an Earth Immortal-level player?"

Su Yu gestured for everyone to assemble and introduced:

"This is my friend from overseas, you can call her Canghai, she’s from a top overseas sect and came to support me today."

Canghai clasped her hands in a respectful gesture but didn’t speak.

But no one had objections. Over two hundred level Earth Immortal player, it’s a different level than them. So being a bit proud, why not?

Gu Zhiqiu, with a joyful expression, said:

"With the help of Immortal Canghai, we’ll surely win this battle!"

Others nodded, brimming with confidence.

In guild warfare, comprehensive strength is important, but the key lies in top-level combat power.

Even if one side has the upper hand in ordinary member conflicts, the weaker side can hold on for a period. Not to mention they have three advanced floating immortal ships for prolonged defense.

As long as the top-level combat power decisively wins, the victorious side’s experts can easily wipe out the lower ranks and secure final victory.

Even if the Celestial God Association has hundreds of Loose Immortal experts, tens of times their number, when facing Canghai, everyone felt assured of their victory.

What kind of power does an Earth Immortal player hold?

Unlike the Foundation stage, a skilled Foundation player with better treasures can defeat lower-tier Loose Immortals, but it’s nearly impossible for a Loose Immortal to defeat an Earth Immortal player.

Those who successfully pass the second Great Celestial Tribulation to become Earth Immortals aren’t flawed, they’re the elites among Loose Immortals, with typically high-end Dao Foundations, essentially super geniuses with abilities to surpass levels.

Everyone is a genius, difficult to defeat me at the same level. Once becoming an Earth Immortal entering higher realms, it becomes even more impossible to beat me.

Su Yu had no fancy tactics, it was just their own wild imagination. His reliance was simply inviting Canghai to step into the field.

Earth Immortal-level innate gods and demons, it’s an immortal template with player template, holding the immortal treasure Canghai Pearl, killing 200-level super bosses would be a slaughter, in guild warfare, it’s practically nuclear level.

Even Su Yu himself didn’t intend to make a move, handing over the Cyan Cloud Cover, Heavenly Splitter Axe, Nine Heaven Purple Thunder Hammer, and Nine Ring Immortal Banners all to her.

Along with the Primordial Unity Cauldron, Four Symbols Soul Banner, and Sea-Suppressing Pearl she possessed.

One immortal treasure, two Tier Ten treasures, four Tier Nine treasures in total.

"Let them witness your might!"

Su Yu patted Canghai’s hand, showing anticipation.

Canghai nodded, refining each treasure one by one, turned and took a step forward, vanishing instantly.

Su Yu turned to his subordinates and commanded sternly:

"Pass along my order, fleet, approach the city, and focus fire on Celestial God City."

His subordinates immediately relayed the order, and the massive battleship slowly moved closer to the city.

"They’re making a move."

On the Celestial God City wall, nearly two million pairs of eyes watched as the three massive battleships slowly moved closer, with the surface glimmers of light converging at the ship’s prow, the main cannon and Thunderfire Towers starting to charge.

"Is that it?"

"Are they really just relying on these three battleships?"

Senior members and many experts who came to support exchanged looks, feeling a sense of mockery.

"We were anxious and overthinking for so long, and he’s really just relying on these three battleships and sixty thousand guild members to attack my Celestial God City?"

When people are speechless, they tend to laugh. Tang Xingye couldn’t help but laugh at this moment.

But his smile lasted less than four seconds before he suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically:

"No, something’s off!"
