You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 402: That's all. You're lucky today.

"Damn it, the strength of this Great Zhou Sage is terrifying!"

In the void.

A figure was running away in a panic.

The figure was pale, his right arm severed, and blood dripped from the wound as he fled, making him look extremely disheveled...

Who else could this figure be but the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect who escaped from Guan Yu?
As the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect and a renowned saint in the entire Eastern Region, Saint Qingyang originally thought that going to the Great Zhou would be a piece of cake.

Even though the Great Zhou had four invincible half-saints, the Qingyang Saint did not take them seriously.

But unexpectedly, in the end, not only did he fail to defeat the Great Zhou, he also almost lost his life.

If he hadn't escaped quickly, he probably would have ended up like the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect, forever trapped in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even so, he still lost an arm.

However, compared to the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect, the Qingyang Sage felt fortunate.

At least he only lost an arm; he's still alive.

However, the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect, a renowned saint-level expert like him, had already died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his life and death extinguished.

"Hurry, faster."

"As long as I return to the imperial dynasty, the sage of the Great Zhou will be powerless against me."

Ignoring his injuries, the Sage Qingyang used a secret technique to double his speed.

The Sage of Qingyang could already sense the aura behind them gradually closing the distance.

Therefore, the Sage Qingyang had no choice but to disregard everything and use his secret technique to maximize his speed as he rushed towards the imperial court.

The Sage of Qingyang knew that if Guan Yu caught up with him, he would suffer the same fate as the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect, dying instantly.

Only by speeding up and making every effort to escape back to the dynasty could he have a glimmer of hope and escape the crisis.

Two figures, like shooting stars, chased each other in the void.

In just a short while, the two traveled from the Great Wilderness, traversing the distance of several dynasties in the Eastern Region, and approached the Imperial Dynasty.

The speed is astonishing.

"This is…"

"The sect leader's aura!"

Before even reaching the imperial court, the Sage of Qingyang sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching from its direction.

This familiar aura was none other than that of the Qingyun Sect Master.

"It seems the sect leader received my message."

The Sage of Qingyang was delighted and quickened his pace even further.

In the blink of an eye, the Sage Qingyang had already entered the territory of the imperial dynasty.

Guan Yu also caught up quickly.

"Uh!"

Seemingly sensing something, Guan Yu frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks.

Guan Yu's gaze flickered uncertainly as he looked in the direction where the Sage of Qingyang had disappeared.

"Fine, you're lucky to be alive today."

Seeing the duck that was about to be in his grasp slip away, Guan Yu's face showed some resentment.

But Guan Yu had no choice; he couldn't risk putting himself in danger just to capture this duck!
The Sage of Qingyang could sense the approaching aura of the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, and Guan Yu could naturally sense it as well.

Moreover, Guan Yu sensed not only the aura of the Qingyun Sect Master rapidly approaching them, but also several powerful auras quickly drawing near.

These auras are all quite powerful.

He is much stronger than the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect who just died at his hands and the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect who was being pursued by him.

If he continues to pursue, let alone whether he can kill this Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

Even if he could kill this Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect, he would be surrounded by these powerful auras, and it wouldn't be easy for him to escape.

Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own is not what Guan Yu wanted.

Moreover, given the speed at which these auras approached, Guan Yu wasn't confident he could catch up with and kill the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect before they arrived. Therefore, Guan Yu decided against taking the risk.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced unwillingly in the direction where the aura of the Qingyang Saint had disappeared, then turned around and tore open space to leave.

Without any hesitation.

……

The Sage of Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Guan Yu had not pursued him but had instead left.

"Now we're safe."

The speed of the Qingyang Sage remained undiminished.

The Sage of Qingyang could not guarantee that Guan Yu had truly left.

For a sage, even if they are separated by thousands of miles, they can arrive in a day or two.

Soon, the Sage of Qingyang saw the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect approaching rapidly towards him.

"metropolitan."

The Sage of Qingyang stopped in his tracks and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Supreme Elder."

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect also saw Qingyang Saint and instantly arrived in front of him.

"Elder, are you alright? You're..."

Seeing that the Saint Qingyang had lost his right arm and was deathly pale, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect's expression changed slightly.

"Sect Master, I'm fine, just a few minor injuries..."

As the Sage Qingyang spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The fact that the Qingyang Saint used secret techniques during their escape has only exacerbated their already dire situation; it's not as simple as he claimed, that he only suffered some injuries.

Before the Qingyun Sect Master could speak again, a figure rushed over from a distance.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Sage of Qingyang and the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect.

"Sect Master of the Purple Sun Sect!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, neither the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect nor the Saint of Qingyang showed much surprise.

Obviously.

They had long since sensed the aura of the Ziyang Sect Master.

After the arrival of the Ziyang Sect Master, another figure emerged from the void, exuding a powerful aura.

"Your Majesty."

This time, the expressions of the Qingyun Sect Master and the Qingyang Saint both slightly tightened.

Obviously.

The appearance of this emperor of the dynasty surprised both of them.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures emerged from the void, radiating the powerful aura of saints.

Seeing these people appear almost simultaneously, the Sage of Qingyang instantly understood why Guan Yu hadn't pursued them but had instead left.

It seems that Guan Yu sensed the presence of these people and had no choice but to retreat.

Because these people are not ordinary people, they are all saints, the top experts in the Eastern Region.

The emperor of the dynasty and the four sect leaders of the four sects in the Eastern Region are all figures who stand at the top of the pyramid in the Eastern Region.

The Sage of Qingyang did not expect that, in addition to the sect leader of his Qingyun Sect, the emperor of the dynasty and the sect leaders of the other three sects would also come.

"what happened?"

"Sage Qingyang, who were you fighting with just now, and why are you so badly injured?"

When the emperor of the dynasty saw the appearance of the Qingyang Saint, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked.

At the same time, the four members of the Ziyang Sect all looked at the Qingyang Saint.

Apart from the sect leaders of Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect, the other three were unaware of the specific events that would trigger a war between saints.
