For the next few months, the Dongshengxian Gate didn't launch any more large-scale attacks. Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen kept a low profile in the army camp. Their identities were very sensitive, and they had already attracted the attention of many on the battlefield. In order to prevent their identities from being exposed, they naturally had to keep a low profile.
However, there would occasionally be a few small-scale battles that caused the Immortal Qianbian Gate to suffer some losses. Qin Wentian also knew that in the Thunder Prefecture, the Immortal Qianbian Gate was constantly recruiting immortal-foundation experts. Although the number of people willing to join the army against the Dongshengxian Gate was very small, because the population of a prefecture was simply too vast, there would always be people joining the army. The Immortal Qianbian Gate could only rely on this method to continue fighting and resist the invasion of the Dongshengxian Gate.
During these days, Qin Wentian and his battle team participated in many small-scale battles and their performance was outstanding. In the battle team, Qin Wentian's prestige grew higher and higher and he was already appointed as the vice-captain. In fact, Qin Wentian even had the intention to give up the captain position. A second-level immortal-foundation expert becoming a captain was something that had never happened before in the history of the Immortal Qianbian Gate. However, Qin Wentian didn't agree to it. It didn't matter to him whether he was the captain or not.
On the battlefield, what Qin Wentian wanted to do was to kill his enemies, temper himself, and destroy the main force of the Dongshengxian Gate. He also wanted to kill the person who had once acted against Qin Yao and Luo Huan. However, he still hadn't found an opportunity to do so. His opponents were from the elite forces of the Dongshengxian Gate. Although their battle formation was already very strong under his control, it would still be somewhat difficult for them to fight against an elite battle formation formed by the main force of the Dongshengxian Gate.
War knows no time. Everyone only wanted to survive on the battlefield and grow stronger. This was the same as when they were cultivating. Unknowingly, time flowed by. This was especially so for the large-scale immortal wars in the immortal realms. Sometimes, the battles would last for hundreds or even thousands of years before the victor could be decided.
At the God Hand Mountain Manor, outside the ancient mountain, time flowed by. It has already been seven to eight years since the immortal kings and emperors gathered at the God Hand Mountain Manor. Outside the ancient mountain, many people had already left due to impatience. Only the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor still sent people to guard this place. However, these guards were already growing impatient. However, they didn't dare to disobey the orders of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor.
In the depths of the ancient mountain, within the immortal palace, the bronze gate slowly opened as a figure wearing a bronze mask walked out. His immortal sense extended into the distance but he didn't discover anyone. He then returned to the bronze gate and not long after, he led a group of experts out. These people all had extraordinary auras and were all wearing masks. They didn't say a single word and directly sped towards the exit.
When he was about to reach the outside of the ancient mountain, the bronze-masked figure suddenly stopped. He actually began to carve a matrix on the ground. He brought out a spatial treasure in his hand, infusing the matrix with powerful spatial energy. He could even see the exit. Although the ancient mountain was sealed by a mysterious power, he could still use spatial energy to leave through the exit.
"There are immortal kings outside. After we teleport out, I will seal our auras. You guys follow me and don't wander around recklessly. If not, with the immortal sense of an immortal king, even if we teleport very far away, we would still be discovered." The bronze masked figure spoke. Everyone nodded, "Yes, Saint Lord."
"Also, when we are outside, don't refer to me as Saint Lord." Qin Wentian instructed. They stood within the formation and at the same time, a sealing energy gushed forth from him, isolating their auras.
An intense spatial light flashed as a beam of light shot out, shooting towards the horizon.
Outside the ancient mountain, many immortal-foundation experts were bored out of their minds. All of a sudden, a spatial fluctuation could be felt. After that, they only saw an intense beam of light shooting out, instantly vanishing before their eyes, as though it had never existed before.
"Not good, spatial teleportation!" Those people exclaimed in shock. After that, a terrifying might gushed forth as a figure hidden in the shadows directly soared up into the air, exuding the might of an immortal king. His immortal sense frenziedly swept out, enveloping the entire area within his immortal sense.
"Nothing?" That immortal king swept his gaze over. He then stepped out and instantly vanished from his original location.
"Nothing, nothing …" That immortal king's silhouette flickered, his countenance extremely unsightly to behold. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor asked them to guard this place for seven to eight years and when they finally came out, the other party actually managed to escape. How was he going to explain this to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor?
In fact, right now, no one knew the identity of this immortal king. In the future, as long as this immortal king removed his mask, it would be extremely difficult to find him again.
The youngest son of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, Dongsheng Ting, died just like that? Most probably, the immortal emperor would definitely be enraged.
...
In Yuan City, there were some elites who invited Qin Wentian but they were still rejected by Qin Wentian. Right now, the attacks launched by the Dongshengxian Gate were getting more and more intense, and they would often send out their elites to attack. There were a few times when Qin Wentian and his troops had no way to defend against the other party's immortal-foundation experts. Hence, the Dongshengxian Gate had already started to treat Qin Wentian and his troops as elites.
Today, the Dongshengxian Gate sent out tens of thousands of troops to attack again. The Immortal Qianbian Gate also sent out a similar number of experts. They didn't send out their entire army because everyone knew the movements of the other party. If the other party sent an army to surround them, the Dongshengxian Gate would directly retreat and mock the Immortal Qianbian Gate. This was meaningless, they might as well accept the battle directly.
The Immortal Qianbian Gate suffered another defeat. When Qin Wentian and the others returned to the camp, Xiao Yehan cursed in a low voice, "Right now, the pressure from the Dongshengxian Gate is getting tighter and tighter. We don't have enough elites to defend against them."
"Many of the troops from the Dongshengxian Gate were originally trained by them. Now that they are sent to the frontlines, our combat prowess is naturally at a disadvantage. Most probably, the next wave of attacks won't be far away." Ye Qing spoke.
"Mhm, I can sense it as well. The Dongshengxian Gate will most probably launch an all-out attack soon." Qin Wentian nodded.
Just as they were speaking, the sound of a war horn rang out once more. However, this time around, it wasn't the horn for the entire army to move out. Instead, it was the horn for the entire army to gather. All the soldiers immediately rushed to the military field, only to see the Military Governor Immortal King appearing there. He then spoke in a clear voice, "The previous battle at the Dongshengxian Gate was the vanguard. Right now, their main army has split into two, preparing to launch a pincer attack on us from three different directions. The attack this time around will be even more ferocious compared to the frontal attack earlier. The Dream Demon King has given a death order, not allowing his army to retreat. He has to take us down no matter what."
"A pincer attack from three different directions. Seems like they have sealed off all their paths of retreat." The eyes of everyone flashed. This was an immortal war, a pincer attack from three different directions. Once the battle erupted, both sides would clash head-on. It would be extremely difficult to retreat, hence they could only fight.
"To all of you, the victor of this battle would be the victor, the loser would be the king. At the same time, this battle is also a good opportunity for you all to obtain battle merits. Do you all have the confidence?" The Military Governor Immortal King's voice rumbled out. Everyone roared in unison, "Fight!"
"Good. Now, I will assign the battle strategy. Charge straight into the heart of the enemy and launch a frontal attack on their elite forces. If Yuan City falls, we will seize their Han City." That Military Governor Immortal King roared, his words causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. What a crazy plan. Did they want to gather the strength of the entire army to annihilate the main force of the enemy forces before charging into Han City?
Since the battle strategy has been decided, the entire army should move out immediately. If not, the enemy forces would adjust their formation as well.
The various armies moved out, but there were still many battle formations that remained on the drill ground. Among them, the battle formation Qin Wentian was in was included. Ye Qing just heard the voice transmission, telling her battle formation to stay behind. The others all stared at Ye Qing as they called out, "Captain."
"There's a special mission assigned to us." Ye Qing spoke. After that, everyone no longer spoke. They knew that the military would send out some powerful battle formations to carry out special battle strategies. They didn't expect that it would be their turn.
"Wait, the other battle formations aren't elite battle formations. They are all ordinary ones." Everyone felt bewildered. They had been in the military for a long time and naturally had a good understanding of the various battle formations.
At this moment, the army supervisor appeared, bringing a group of experts with him. He glanced in Qin Wentian's direction as he spoke, "The thirty-six experts here will be assigned to your battle team and will take on the role of captains. In addition, you will be in charge of controlling the entire battle formation. Do you all understand?"
"Yes." The hearts of everyone were filled with bewilderment. However, this was a military order and they had to obey it. No one would dare to defy it. That would be a great crime.
"Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan, step out. The two of you will also be assigned as captains to control the operations of the battle formation." That Military Governor spoke.
"Yes." Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan walked out. Over here, there were a total of thirty-nine battle formations. Right now, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan also had to take charge of a battle formation. They originally already had the ability to do so.
"Now, the thirty-nine battle formations will be an independent army under the command of Tianwen. Everyone has to obey his commands. Those who disobey will be killed." The Military Governor spoke in a booming voice, his words causing the gazes of everyone to turn to the armored figure of Qin Wentian. Seems like they had still underestimated the identity of this fellow. He must be a descendant of a major character from the Immortal Qianbian Gate. Before this, they allowed him to adapt to the battlefield and now, they finally allowed him to control an army.
Thirty-nine battle formations, an army of thousands of people. This authority was already extremely great.
The thirty-six people on the platform each moved to a battle formation and took control of it. Their cultivation bases varied, but the majority of them exuded extraordinary auras. Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan also took control of a battle formation. Only Purgatory and Little Rascal were still together with Qin Wentian. Purgatory wasn't proficient in controlling others.
Qin Wentian soared up into the air as he spoke, "Move out."
"Move out, move out." Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, those who took control of the battle formations actually responded to Qin Wentian's summon. At this instant, Qin Wentian's prestige rose to a new height. There was no doubt that he was the commander of this army!
Ye Qing stared at the silhouette of Qin Wentian as she smiled. Things should have been like this long ago!
