Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but stand up. They didn't expect He Riyue's words to come true. The Holy Temple of Eight Directions mobilized their forces at this time. They were definitely going to make a move.
Right at this moment, a voice-transmitting talisman appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Wuhen. Ye Wuhen's expression turned serious. She quickly crushed the talisman, and the voice of Zhao Feng of the Heavenly Sword Division came out clearly.
"Leader, according to the scouts, a large number of warriors have appeared outside our defensive perimeter. They are approaching. Should we fight or defend? Please give us your orders."
After hearing Zhao Feng's report, Ye Wuhen turned to the crowd and said, "The Illusion Sect has begun to move. We must make a plan immediately."
"Of course we fight." He Ritian said loudly, "Could it be that we came all the way here for a holiday? Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know once we pull it out for a walk. Even if the Eight Directional Sacred Hall is determined to stand on the Illusionary God Sect's side, we might not be afraid."
"I agree," He Riyue said.
Ye Wuhen nodded. "Good. If that's the case, let's fight! Divided, we are weak. United, we are strong. Since the Illusion Sect wants to encircle us, their forces must be weak. Let's focus on one point. "
"We'll listen to you. The Myriad Sharks Island is ready for battle." He Ritian gave all the command to Ye Wuhen.
"Then we'll concentrate our forces and charge toward the Illusion Sect. We'll take down their headquarters in one go. As long as our forces are concentrated, even if the Illusion Sect and the Holy Temple of Eight Directions join forces, we may still stand a chance. "
After preparing for battle, they didn't delay. Ye Wuhen gave He Ritian a map with the locations of all the strongholds in the Alliance of Nine Directions. She ordered him to quickly gather the people of the Myriad Sharks Island and move toward the fifth stronghold. The fifth stronghold was the closest to the Illusion Sect.
The people of the Alliance of Nine Directions immediately set off for the fifth stronghold. At the same time, they sent a message to Zhao Feng, asking him to pass on the message and order all the combat divisions of the Alliance of Nine Directions to the fifth stronghold.
The journey was silent, and everyone's hearts were heavy. The Holy Temple of Eight Directions' actions were far beyond what they'd anticipated. They'd only begun mobilizing now, and it was obvious that they were guarding against spies from the Alliance of Nine Directions and Myriad Shark Island. For a while, the spies they'd planted in the Holy Temple wouldn't be able to send word back in time.
Now, Ye Wuheng had no idea where the people of the Holy Temple of Eight Corners would show up, nor did she know how many people they had sent, nor did she know what Saul and the Illusionary God Sect were up to. Ye Wuhen didn't dare to make a decision easily. But they had no other choice but to fight. Even though they knew that there was a trap ahead, they had to go through it.
After all, this was the home field of the Phantom God Sect and Octagon Holy Temple. Once they were fully united, the Jiuhua Alliance and Myriad Shark Isles had little chance of victory. Don't forget, the Phantom God Sect had Saul.
When Ye Wuheng, Lu Xuan, and the others arrived at the No. 5 stronghold, the battle had already begun.
From the moment the Phantom God Sect began to move, they were like a clockwork machine that couldn't be stopped. Just as Ye Wuheng and the others had predicted, all the strongholds of the Alliance of Nine Directions were under the control of the Phantom God Sect. The No. 5 stronghold, as the frontline, was undoubtedly their first target.
Countless warriors of the Phantom God Sect rushed to the stronghold. When Lu Xuan and the others arrived, the battle was already in full swing. Ye Wuheng was worried that the No. 5 stronghold would be the first to bear the brunt of the attack, so she arranged for eight combat divisions, nearly thirty thousand people, including three combat divisions under the direct command of the Alliance of Nine Directions. But now, in the face of the Phantom God Sect's attack, they were evenly matched. The Alliance of Nine Directions barely had the upper hand, but it was far from the one-sided situation that Ye Wuheng had imagined.
Even the No. 5 stronghold, which was heavily guarded, was in such a state. One could imagine how the other strongholds were faring. Ye Wuheng kept receiving news that the members of the other seven strongholds were blocked to varying degrees on their way to the No. 5 stronghold. This greatly delayed the assembly time of the Alliance of Nine Directions.
"Don't get caught up in the fighting. Gather at the No. 5 stronghold quickly. Keep the communication between the combat divisions open at all times. Gather together. Also, keep an eye on Saul's whereabouts. If you find Saul, report to me immediately, "Ye Wuheng quickly ordered. She sent several voice-transmitting talismans to the people in charge of the major strongholds.
"Should we go and meet them?" Ye Haoran asked.
"No," Ye Wuheng flatly rejected. Ye Wuheng vetoed the idea flatly. "Now that Saul hasn't shown up, we must stay together at all times. Otherwise, once we encounter Saul, no one can stop him."
Lu Xuan stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, then send the combat division of the No. 5 stronghold to meet them. We'll stay here and stop the attack of the Phantom God Sect."
"That's feasible." Ye Wuheng nodded. "But we can't send all of them. If Saul shows up during this time, we won't be able to defend the No. 5 stronghold and stop him."
Ye Wuheng quickly found the person in charge of the No. 5 stronghold, the division leader of the Lingfeng Combat Division. She asked him to dispatch four combat divisions to meet the members of the four closest strongholds. At this time, Lu Xuan and the others had already rushed into the battlefield.
With the powers of Lu Xuan and the others, they were like tigers in a flock of sheep at that moment. Ye Wenjun strolled leisurely, killing one person with each swing of his sword. Ling Jin's figure was fleeting. Wherever she went, the enemies retreated, but Ling Jin was nowhere to be found.
The others also used their own methods to quickly help the Jiuhua Alliance martial artists retreat. Lu Xuan charged into the crowd of enemies, and immediately, a dozen Mirage God Sect martial artists came charging at him with bloodshot eyes. Lu Xuan immediately unsheathed his Masked Sword, and a beam of sword light swept across, instantly forcing them back and killing five or six of them.
But when the others saw this, not only did they not retreat, but they became even more frenzied. Sword light and Saber Qi mixed together and rushed over. Two warriors released illusions at Lu Xuan, trying to confuse Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan casually created a wall of thorns, blocking the attacks from the opposite side. As for illusions, they were useless against Lu Xuan. It didn't take Lu Xuan much effort to wipe out all of those warriors who didn't know their place.
But at this moment, Lu Xuan frowned. He had only been watching and didn't feel anything, but now that he was personally on the battlefield, he realized something was wrong. The warriors of the Phantom God Sect didn't seem to care about their own lives. When they attacked, they didn't defend at all. It was a desperate move.
Unless they were forced into a desperate situation, who would risk their lives so easily? Right now, it was the Phantom God Sect that surrounded the Jiuhua Alliance, not the Jiuhua Alliance that trapped the Phantom God Sect.
Now he understood why the Jiuhua Alliance had eight powerful combat divisions stationed here, and yet they couldn't repel the Phantom God Sect warriors. If every warrior fought like this, then the Jiuhua Alliance warriors would have a hard time defending themselves. The Phantom God Sect warriors didn't care about their lives, but the Jiuhua Alliance couldn't. This had nothing to do with loyalty. After all, everyone cherished their lives.
