Originally, according to the speed of Battle Commander Nan Feng's fleet, they should have reached Illusory Sun blessed land in two days.
However, he had been careless and believed that Illusory Sun Sect would not resist, so the fleet was slower.
Even if they rushed at full speed, they would still need two and a half days to arrive.
When he came to this conclusion, Battle Commander Nan Feng felt very uneasy.
For others, being half a day later than the time they were ordered wasn't a big deal.
However, he knew that the Celestial King had always been strict and strict. If he knew that he had been negligent and delayed by half a day, he would definitely be furious.
However, things had already happened, and he could not change the outcome.
No matter how fast the fleet sped up, they would not be able to reach Illusory Sun blessed land in two days.
Thus, after much consideration, Battle Commander Nan Feng decided to report the truth to the Celestial King and ask for punishment.
He had served under the Celestial King for almost a thousand years and understood the Celestial King's nature very well. He naturally knew that this was the most appropriate thing to do.
Furthermore, he was the Celestial King's right-hand man and was deeply trusted and valued.
Perhaps the Celestial King would forgive him this time on account of his sincerity and their many years of relationship.
After sending the message, Battle Commander Nan Feng anxiously waited for the Celestial King's reply.
Fifteen minutes later, the Celestial King's reply arrived.
Just as Battle Commander Nan Feng had expected, the Celestial King was very angry and scolded him harshly.
However, on account of his sincerity and many years of hard work, he would not be punished for the time being.
He had to atone for his crime and completely eliminate everyone in Illusory Sun Sect, leaving no one alive.
If he could complete the mission perfectly, not only would the Celestial King not punish him, he would also be rewarded according to his merits.
After reading the Celestial King's reply, Battle Commander Nan Feng felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
After putting away the communication jade slip, he did not think about anything else and began to prepare his battle plan.
His temperament became cold and austere, and his entire body was filled with a frightening killing intent.
"Bastards of Illusory Sun Sect, there is a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it.
Since you insist on seeking death, Benshuai will fulfill your wish!
This time, everyone from the Illusionary Sun Sect had to die!
Even a chicken or a dog won't be able to survive! "
Commander Nan Feng held his sword and cursed silently in his heart.
…
Ever since Yun Yao arrived and killed the two messengers, the two messengers had been killed.
The Illusionary Sun Sect had already joined the Kenshin Empire and became the first force under the Kenshin Empire.
Of course, the only thing missing was the process of swearing allegiance.
However, the Illusory Sun Sect Master and several Elders had already considered themselves Kenshin's subordinates.
Of course, this news was still confidential. Other than the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader, the two Protectors, and a few Elders, no one else knew about it.
The Illusory Sun Sect Master knew that Kenshin would arrive soon.
However, he didn't stay idle. He still had to do the necessary defensive work.
Over the past two days, he had personally commanded the elders and deacons to lead thousands of disciples to reinforce Illusory Sun Blessed Land.
After reinforcing the entire blessed land's defensive array, he ordered the disciples to set up two layers of defensive arrays and one layer of sect-protecting array.
In addition, he set up a dozen or so arrays near the blessed land's entrance to act as traps and ambushes.
After doing all this, the Illusory Sun Sect Master mobilized the troops and arranged for the elders, deacons, and disciples to set up arrays to firmly guard Illusory Sun Blessed Land.
Even the guards guarding the entrance of the Blessed Land were withdrawn into the interior of the Blessed Land.
In short, the Illusory Sun Sect had finished their preparations and assumed a defensive posture.
They were just waiting for Commander Nan Feng to lead his army of ten thousand to attack. The two sides were separated by the Illusory Sun Blessed Land's array and began to fight.
The Illusory Sun Sect didn't hope to win this battle. They only hoped to block Commander Nan Feng's attack and minimize their casualties.
As long as they waited for Kenshin to arrive, the situation would be set.
Just like that, two days passed quickly.
On the morning of the third day, when dawn was about to arrive, the Illusory Sun Sect entered its most tense state.
The five thousand disciples who had the qualifications to participate in the battle were all wearing armor and holding swords. They stood guard at their posts and waited for the battle to begin.
The other three thousand disciples, servants, and workers who didn't have the qualifications to participate were also waiting in the various underground palaces within the sect, worriedly praying.
Logically speaking, Commander Nan Feng should have led his army to the blessed land's entrance by now.
Perhaps in the next moment, the army of ten thousand would attack.
Everyone's nerves were tense, and their hearts were in their mouths.
The two elders and eight deacons in charge of controlling the defensive array also pushed the defensive power of the array to its limit.
Even the Illusory Sun Sect Master didn't stay within the sect to wait for news. Instead, he brought two Protectors and personally arrived at the blessed land's entrance.
The three of them stood in the night sky and looked down at the disciples near the entrance, waiting with serious expressions.
However, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes … an entire hour passed, and there was no reaction from the defensive array.
Commander Nan Feng and his army of ten thousand didn't appear on time, let alone attack Illusory Sun Blessed Land.
The thousands of disciples didn't dare to relax, but they were very confused.
Some of the deacons and elders secretly discussed with each other, but they couldn't make up their minds.
In the end, they saw the sect master and the two Protectors supervising the battle. Two elders flew into the night sky and asked for instructions from the Illusory Sun Sect Master.
"Lord Sect Master, look, it's already been an hour. Why hasn't there been any movement?"
"Lord Sect Master, in order to preserve our strength and reduce casualties, we didn't leave any scouts or spies outside the blessed land.
Now that the situation has changed, we can't see what's going on outside! "
The Illusory Sun Sect Master was also puzzled.
But in front of thousands of disciples, he couldn't show it.
He was still calm and replied indifferently, "Logically speaking, Commander Nan Feng and his army of ten thousand should have arrived by now.
However, Commander Nan Feng has been through hundreds of battles and is very experienced.
He isn't an impulsive person, so he definitely won't attack rashly. Of course, he has to observe the situation, arrange the troops, and discuss the attack plan.
In this way, it will take at least a few hours before he attacks. "
When the two elders heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.
But after nodding, the two elders asked again, "Sect Master, what should we do then? Let the disciples continue to be vigilant and ready to fight at any time? "
"Sect Master, the disciples have been tense and exhausted. I'm afraid it's not good to continue like this.
If Commander Nan Feng is cunning enough and deliberately wastes a day or two of our time, the disciples will be very tired before they even participate in the battle. "
The Illusory Sun Sect Master also realized this problem and nodded slightly. "Right now, we are passively defending, and the initiative is in Commander Nan Feng's hands.
Pass down the order, tell the disciples not to be too nervous and to remain vigilant.
Also, if Commander Nan Feng is stalling for time, that's exactly what I want.
The longer we delay, the better it is for us! "
