The Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King barely avoided falling into madness with rage.
It took them a full two days to catch their breath.
What made matters worse for them was that Wu Tian, leading the Wu Tian Empire, had already conquered more than half of the territories of their Cloud Top Empire.
Originally, it should not have come to this, as the Cloud Top Empire had no shortage of experts and should not have been overwhelmed by a single Wu Tian.
But due to their help, they allowed Wu Tian to be reborn and ascend multiple times, and now Wu Tian's strength was unmatched by anyone except the two of them.
And the integrity of the Cloud Top Empire, of course, was tied to the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
So, as Wu Tian occupied more and more territory, the fortune within the Fortune Immortal Pillar dwindled day by day.
After the Yellow Sky incident, there was only a tiny bit of fortune left, and now it had hit rock bottom.
"What should we do?"
The Destroyer of the World smashed things nearby, roaring.
He truly did not want to open his eyes now.
Every time he saw that pitiful amount of fortune left, his heart ached with pain.
"At this juncture, Wu Tian can no longer be left unchecked, but we are currently unable to deal with him, and with the Fortune Immortal Pillar in this state, we cannot directly call upon the Emissaries either."
The Cloud Top King said grimly, squinting his eyes. "So now, we must have someone go and stall Wu Tian, to give us enough time to restore the Fortune Immortal Pillar."
"Then hurry up and find this person!" the Destroyer of the World roared.
"I've already contacted this person, and he is currently in secluded meditation in the underground palace of my empire. But he still needs seven days before he can emerge!" said the Cloud Top King.
"Seven days?"
The Destroyer of the World's expression changed, and he growled, "At the pace Wu Tian is going, he'll have reached your imperial city in seven days!"
"Rest assured, I have another way. My Cloud Top Empire has countless sects within, and there are countless peerless geniuses." The Cloud Top King said coldly, "I will issue an order for them to go and stall Wu Tian first."
"Perhaps they are not a match for Wu Tian, but they should be able to hold him off for seven days, surely?"
The Destroyer of the World narrowed his eyes, and his anxious demeanor eased somewhat.
"First, we'll use these sects to stall Wu Tian for seven days. Once the person in seclusion emerges, he alone can lead my Cloud Top armies to withstand Wu Tian and even help us reclaim some lost territory."
"Meanwhile, we can focus solely on restoring our fortune. Once the fortune recovers somewhat, we can summon the Emissaries to completely annihilate Wu Tian!"
"After eliminating Wu Tian, all the fortune lost because of him will return to us."
"In this way, we will have completely turned the tide!"
The Cloud Top King said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Destroyer of the World nodded and quickly said, "If so, then hurry and make the arrangements!"
The Cloud Top King nodded, just about to give the order, when suddenly someone rushed in from outside in a panic.
"Your Majesty..."
The person called out.
But before he could finish, the Cloud Top King interrupted him, shouting, "You're just in time. Listen to my order and have it passed down - instruct the Wu Sect, the Yan Sect, the Feng Huo Sect, and the Tian Yi Sect within my Cloud Top Empire to immediately mobilize their disciples and march out to obstruct Wu Tian's advance."
Hearing this, the subordinate's expression changed, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that won't work!"
"Why not?" The Cloud Top King glared.
"The Yan Sect was wiped out by the Wu Sect, and the Feng Huo Sect was absorbed by the Tian Yi Sect."
"Oh?"
The Cloud Top King was slightly surprised, not expecting such a turn of events.
But he had never cared about the affairs of these subordinate sects in his empire. If they were destroyed, so be it - there were still the Wu Sect and the Tian Yi Sect, after all.
So he quickly said again, "Then summon the Wu Sect and the Tian Yi Sect to send their disciples."
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet."
The subordinate said with an unsightly expression, "After the Wu Sect and the Tian Yi Sect destroyed those two sects, they have, they have..."
"They have what?" The Cloud Top King questioned sternly.
"They have, they have... defected to the Wu Tian Empire!"
Seeing the Cloud Top King narrow his eyes, the subordinate finally shouted out the words while prostrating himself on the ground.
