Wang Daoyuan had just given Xu Tingxuan face, so he naturally wouldn't ignore it. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Little Brother. This is related to the lives of all the Fellow Daoists on the battlefield. Everyone will definitely do their best to help Fellow Daoist capture the captives."
Less than fifteen minutes after Xu Tingxuan left, a flying warship returned for repairs. There were two captives hanging from the side of the ship.
One of the captives was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other was at the peak of Qi Condensation. They were tied up tightly with ropes.
After the warship landed, the cultivators on the ship disembarked and handed the two captives to Wang Daoyuan. They also carried an injured Foundation Establishment cultivator behind them.
The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator cupped his hands towards Wang Daoyuan and said, "Chief Steward Wang, I've brought the captives you wanted. Please help treat my brother."
Although Wang Daoyuan felt that there was something wrong with this form of address, he still replied with a smile, "No problem. As long as there are captives, it'll be easy."
He used the Azure Dragon Pearl to extract life force from the two captives.
The effect of extracting life force from human cultivators was much weaker.
The life force extracted from the two captives was only enough for one treatment. At most, there would be some left. It wouldn't be enough for two treatments.
After all, in terms of size and physical strength, humans were much weaker than cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, he had previously extracted life force from ferocious-blood boars. Ferocious-Blood boars were famous for their powerful blood qi.
Blood Qi, physical strength, and so on were all related to vitality.
It didn't matter if human cultivators had less life force. At least they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
After treating the injuries of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, the others repaired the warship and set off for the battlefield once more.
The battle was still ongoing. In addition to directing the repair of the flying warship, Wang Daoyuan also had to treat dozens of injured Foundation Establishment cultivators.
As the battle intensified, Wang Daoyuan also gained some understanding of the situation of this battle.
At first, the Zhao side wanted to keep the injured Zifu Disciple alive to vent their anger.
The Song side naturally wouldn't let the Zhao side succeed. Instead, they wanted to use the Zifu Disciple as bait to lure the Zhao cultivators out of the formation and fight outside.
After all, the Zhao side had been guarding the formation all this time. The Song side had suffered great losses in attacking the fortress.
Now that there was an opportunity to fight outside the array formation, they naturally had to seize it.
At first, the Zhao Kingdom did not think much of it. However, as more and more reinforcements arrived from the Song Kingdom, they wanted to take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Song Kingdom.
The three sects of the State of Zhao had gathered at Wucheng Pass. The strength of those below the Golden Core Realm had already surpassed that of the State of Song.
The Myriad Spirit Sect had been suppressed by the Song Kingdom for more than ten years, and the Netherworld Sect had a Purple Mansion Elder killed in a sneak attack. Both sects wanted to do something big.
The Cruel Sun Palace also wanted to end the battle quickly. After all, the Wei Nation was causing trouble at the western border of their territory.
If the sect's forces were placed outside for a long time, their rear might be unstable.
The three sects all wanted to finish the job in one fell swoop, so naturally, the commotion became bigger and bigger.
There were more than 100 flying warships gathered in the south of the mountain. Among them, there were more than 80 from the Zhao Kingdom and more than 40 from the Song Kingdom.
The State of Zhao had fallen from being a first-rate country to a third-rate country.
However, they did not lose much territory, and their resources were still very rich.
The Song State's territory was less than a third of the Zhao State's. It was impossible to compete with flying warships.
However, the Song Empire had sent in far more Zifu Disciples.
The reason why the Zhao Kingdom did not send in all their forces was because they wanted to use the flying warships to exhaust the Song Empire's mid-tier forces.
The flying warships could be repaired. Even if they were completely reforged, it would only take a few months to refine a complete warship.
However, to nurture a Zifu Disciple, it would take an average of 170 to 180 years.
There was no need to mention the consumption of various resources.
The Zhao Kingdom's strategy was to use resources to suppress the Song Empire, using resources to exchange for the lives of the Song Empire's Zifu Disciples.
They wanted to defeat Song Yan's arrogance in one battle and make him obedient for a few hundred years.
Furthermore, the Zhao Kingdom was backed by the Mountain Protecting Formation. If their cultivators were heavily injured or their flying warships were damaged, they could easily retreat to the Mountain Protecting Formation and recuperate.
After they were healed and repaired, they could return to the battlefield.
The Song Empire was in a difficult position. They wanted to retreat, but they did not dare to.
The two sides were entangled. If the Song Empire's upper echelons dared to give the order to retreat, the Zhao Kingdom would chase after them. The Song Empire's army would definitely be wiped out.
This small battle had already become the decisive battle that would decide the outcome of the entire war.
The war that had lasted for more than ten years would end in this battle.
The Song Empire would take down Wucheng Pass and even invade the Zhao Kingdom's heartland.
If the Zhao Kingdom won, the Song Empire would not be able to attack the Zhao Kingdom for the next few hundred years.
Given the current situation, the Song Empire's chances of victory were slim.
After all, the Zhao Kingdom had the advantage in terms of the number of cultivators of various realms. They also had sufficient flying warships to wear down the enemy.
If the Song Empire did not have any special moves, their defeat was certain.
After another five days, both sides were still increasing the stakes. The Zhao Kingdom wanted to end the battle and sent all their Zifu Disciples to the battlefield.
In the past few days, Wang Daoyuan had treated more than three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators and repaired the flying warships more than a hundred times.
The Song Empire's injured cultivators and damaged warships could not retreat. This was equivalent to the Zhao Kingdom having more than a hundred Zifu Disciples.
The battle in the south of the mountain was getting louder and louder.
Suddenly, the entire castle started to shake.
Wang Daoyuan immediately flew into the sky on his sword to observe the situation in the distance.
The three eastern fortresses were only a few li away from the edge of the battlefield. However, due to the mountain's obstruction, the battle did not spread here.
With the eyesight of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could clearly see the situation in the air more than ten li away.
At this moment, the situation in the main battlefield was like making dumplings.
The filling of the dumplings was the group of people who came to attack the three eastern fortresses, as well as the Song Empire's Zifu Disciples who came to reinforce them.
The Song Empire's cultivators wanted to counter-encircle them, but they did not succeed. The Zhao Kingdom relied on the mountain range and formations to protect their retreat, which was where the three eastern fortresses were located.
The Song Empire's main camp was more than a hundred li away from the main city of Wusheng Pass, a few hundred li away from the battlefield.
The cultivators who came to reinforce the battlefield were intercepted by the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators halfway.
The entire battlefield was divided into more than ten sections, and each section was fighting its own battle. This situation had been going on for several days.
The Zhao Kingdom had already decided to end the battle as soon as possible. They sent another fifty to sixty Zifu Disciples to the battlefield.
At this moment, the Zhao Kingdom was working hard to eat the filling of the dumplings.
The Zifu Disciples who had been surrounded by them were now more or less dead.
After eating the filling of the dumplings, they could sweep the entire battlefield.
The Song Empire was at a complete disadvantage. A large number of their cultivators were held back. When the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators made their move, only a few Song Empire's cultivators could escape.
The Song Empire's upper echelons were not to be trifled with. Three Golden Core cultivators flew out from the main camp and attacked the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators.
When Golden Core cultivators attacked Zifu Disciples and Foundation Establishment cultivators, a single spell was enough to wipe them out.
The Zhao Kingdom's Golden Core cultivators were already prepared. Seven Golden Core cultivators flew out from the main city of Wusheng Pass and surrounded the three.
If the three insisted on attacking, they would very likely be surrounded.
Although Golden Core cultivators were not easy to kill, seven against three was not a big problem.
None of them wanted to be left behind. They could only give up on attacking and retreat towards the main camp.
At this moment, another four Golden Core cultivators flew out from the main camp of the Song Empire. A total of fourteen Golden Core cultivators faced each other in the air.
A yellow-robed cultivator from the Song Empire wanted to continue attacking the cultivators below, but a Myriad Spirit Sect's Golden Core cultivator stopped him.
The two of them fought, and the aftermath of the battle injured many Zifu Disciples and Foundation Establishment cultivators below.
Another Golden Core cultivator in aqua blue robes shot out a Gui Water Divine Thunder. This person should be from the Zhao Kingdom's royal family.
The Gui Water Divine Thunder used by a Golden Core cultivator was not to be underestimated.
A cultivator from the Crescent Sun Palace took out his magic weapon and blocked the Gui Water Divine Thunder.
This person's body flickered with an earthy yellow light. His body was extremely strong. One could tell at a glance that he was an Earth Element Body Tempering cultivator.
After two consecutive exchanges, a Golden Core cultivator battle was about to erupt.
Another Gold Core cultivator with white hair and beard flew out from the camp of Song Kingdom. He said to the other Gold Core cultivators, "The Gold Core cultivators from both sides are evenly matched. Even the Old Ghost of the Nether Sea can only fight to a draw with me.
This time, the Song Empire was rude first and is at a disadvantage. We are willing to give up our territory and ask for peace.
If the Daoyou agree, both sides will stop fighting.
If not, none of the juniors on the battlefield will survive. The fifteen Golden Core cultivators of the Song Empire will also fight to the death with all of you.
Although there are few Golden Core cultivators in the Song Empire, it is not a problem to take out ten Golden Core cultivators from the Zhao Kingdom.
At that time, the Qi, Chu and Wu Kingdoms will definitely take the opportunity to swallow the Song Empire and attack the Zhao Kingdom. The Wei Kingdom will also attack the Hanjiang Pass with all their might.
If the Song Empire is destroyed, the Zhao Kingdom will follow in its footsteps. "
