From Wucheng Pass to Wanling County, there were no impassable natural barriers like Hanjiang Pass.
As long as the Golden Core cultivators had the advantage, they could cross Mount Fulong and stab the enemy from behind.
Mount Fulong was not flawless. Nanli Mountain faced the easternmost part of Mount Fulong.
There were not many spiritual mountains within three thousand miles of Mount Fulong that could be defended. It did not affect late-stage Golden Core cultivators much.
As long as the enemy was not strong enough, they could easily retreat after plundering the resources.
Crossing the pass could be dealt with through attrition. However, the Golden Core cultivators of Song were not strong enough.
What could they do if they did not dare to face the enemy head-on?
If Song Yan really went crazy, they could transfer a few more Golden Core cultivators from Song to maintain their advantage over the Zhao cultivators.
They could then use attrition to stall the Golden Core cultivators of Zhao.
When the time came, the Zhao cultivators would have to sacrifice some of their cultivators to force their way out. Otherwise, they would continue to fight.
However, if they continued to fight, they would not even have a place to meditate and recover their Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Power.
In a few days, they would be out of combat power.
Everyone in the hall fell into deep thought. If they used this method, they would be taking a huge risk.
However, if they did not use this method, the enemy would not come out no matter what. They could not outlast the enemy.
In the end, Emperor Zhao answered, "We can try this. Song is not having a good time.
Previously, fifteen Golden Core cultivators attacked Wucheng Pass before they left Song territory. If something happened, they could return in time.
Wucheng County is very long and narrow. It is more than fifty thousand miles from north to south. News from the rear cannot be transmitted in time.
Once Qi, Chu, and Wu attack, they will not be able to return in time.
There are too few third-rate cultivators in Song. Even if they send reinforcements, it will not be easy to keep us here.
There are many things waiting to be done in Zhao. We cannot afford to waste time.
I do not plan to unify the country in one battle. I only want to make Song unable to attack.
Zhao's territory is much larger than Song's. In the east, we can borrow Hai Prefecture to obtain the resources in the sea.
If we continue to fight, Song will not be able to defeat us. "
This decision was extremely correct. It was also what Wang Daoyuan wanted to see the most.
Song only had twelve Golden Core cultivators left. If they did not rest for one or two hundred years, they would not be able to recover.
In one or two hundred years, how many Golden Core cultivators could he produce?
If he hadn't left Beiyuan Xiuxian, he would have to be at least half a step into Yuanying.
At that time, it would not take much effort to kill a first-rate Golden Core expert.
No matter how much trouble they caused, no one dared to have any ideas about the Wang Family.
Although the people of the Zhao Family were a little reckless, they were not stupid.
The State of Zhao had been lost for more than five hundred years, and after a series of wars, its vitality was almost depleted.
Now, he was like a big guy who had just recovered from a serious illness. He might not be able to defeat a healthy little guy.
It would be better to stop the battle first and wait for his body to recover before taking revenge.
To put it bluntly, the war between the Zhao State and the Song State was a family affair of the Zhao Family.
Since the main family didn't have any objections, outsiders couldn't care less.
Since Emperor Zhao did not wish to accomplish the task in one fell swoop, then it was easy to handle.
Even if they did not seek to cause much damage to the Song Nation, they could simply avoid fighting with the Golden Core cultivators. They could just bully the other party's flying ships transporting resources and manpower.
If they ran away after taking advantage of the situation, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape unscathed as long as they were in good condition.
In terms of manpower, Zhao Lingyan and Wu Mingjue were overseeing Nanli Mountain. Together with the formation, they were more than enough to defend.
Lord Linhai and Qian Yang had to be taken away from Lanyue Mountain.
Qian Yang was from the Cruel Sun Palace. Now that there were also Cruel Sun Palace cultivators on the other side, they would not feel at ease leaving him behind.
With Gu Chengfeng, a third-rate cultivator, and Gu Shenghai and Zhong Yaoting, it would not be a problem to defend.
Emperor Zhao and the six people of the Zhao Family, plus Wang Daoyuan, Zhong Zhenyang, Shi Zhizhong, and Qian Yang, there were a total of ten third-rate Golden Core cultivators and above.
The Song State and the two sects had less than ten late-stage Golden Core cultivators in total. In terms of individual strength, they were far inferior.
The group of ten people rode on a fourth-grade flying ship. They circled around the south of Mount Fulong and swaggered all the way to the Myriad Spirit Sect.
This greatly frightened the cultivators guarding the sect. They thought they were going to attack the mountain.
In the end, the ship circled around the sect and continued west.
Along the way, they destroyed any property that did not have fourth-grade formations protecting it.
It was also worth a try to attack a property that had a fourth-tier low-grade array formation but did not have a Golden Core cultivator guarding it.
Wang Daoyuan, Zhong Zhenyang, and Lord Linhai's attainments in formations were not bad. It was not difficult for them to destroy a fourth-grade formation.
Wang Daoyuan released the Soul Chasing Bees to monitor Wucheng County in the south.
As long as the Song State's flying ships transported resources, they would intercept them.
In the next twenty-odd days, they intercepted more than fifty flying ships.
The Myriad Spirit Sect and Mount Fulong did not receive any more resources from the Song State.
The Myriad Spirit Sect's territory of one and a half counties was destroyed. More than twenty third-grade properties and five fourth-grade properties were destroyed.
At the eastern foot of Mount Fulong, Song Yan and the Sixth Prince sat side by side in a large hall.
Both of them did not look too good. Everyone in the hall was also dejected.
The resources at the rear could not be transported up, and many of the nearby properties were destroyed.
Even if there was no war and the consumption of resources was minimal, they could not afford such a mess.
The several counties in the east of the Zhao State were recovering various properties.
Not only were the Song State and the two sects unable to recover, but they were also being destroyed.
This was especially so for the Song State. Every time they were intercepted, they would lose several flying ships, hundreds of cultivators, and large amounts of resources.
After a few years, the Zhao State's properties would more or less recover. Then, they would have an overall advantage over the Song State.
Venerable Yulong asked, "Your Majesty, the Song Emperor, should we transfer a few Golden Core cultivators from the Song State over and use attrition tactics to eliminate the Zhao Clan's Golden Core cultivators?"
The Sixth Prince also revealed a yearning expression as he looked at his nephew and son-in-law.
Once the Song State lost, the Song Emperor could leave and still preserve the Song State.
However, the Sixth Prince's reign would come to an end. It would be good if he could keep his life.
The Song Emperor shook his head. "The other side has too many Golden Core cultivators. If we want to gain a huge advantage, we will need at least seven or eight late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
This way, the Song State will be empty. The Qi State, Chu State, and Wu State might take advantage of the situation.
Furthermore, that vile spawn Wang Daoyuan's concealment methods are too strong. If he did not take the initiative to attack, I would not be able to detect him.
His strength is about the same as Venerable Xuanming's, and his offensive methods are extremely strong.
If he sneak-attacks a Golden Core cultivator, he can kill them in one strike.
Even if we win, the Song State's Golden Core cultivators will be wiped out.
Furthermore, we might not be able to kill many of them.
If we continue fighting like this, it will be too much of a loss. Let's seek peace. I will do my best to protect my father-in-law. "
The moment Venerable Xuanming said that, the Song Nation's Golden Core cultivator who narrowly escaped death relaxed.
That Venerable Xuanming had personally seen Wang Daoyuan behead his companion with one strike.
If that Venerable Xuanming had to face Wang Daoyuan again, it would be no different from sending him to his death.
Venerable Yulong showed an unsightly expression. His side was at a disadvantage. If he wanted peace, he would have to sacrifice many benefits.
Would the Song State sacrifice its own benefits? That was absolutely impossible.
The Sixth Prince and the Cruel Sun Palace did not even have an inch of territory. What benefits could they sacrifice?
In the end, wouldn't the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect have to bleed?
However, Venerable Yulong did not dare to say anything. If he angered the Song Emperor, the Song Emperor would return to the Song Nation and ignore this matter.
If that happened, the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect would not just be sacrificing its benefits. Emperor Zhao might even kill it.
The Cruel Sun Palace's Venerable Earthflame showed an indifferent expression. He had nothing to lose, so he was not afraid.
He had already lost his sect. If he ran over to the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect to be a grandson, he would just flee to the Song Nation.
In any case, he would be a grandson. There was no difference.
The Sixth Prince was extremely unwilling. However, he did not dare to say anything.
He only had the empty title of emperor. He did not have a single Golden Core cultivator under him.
With the Song Emperor's promise, the Song Emperor would not hand him over.
Even if he could not become emperor, he could still go to the Song Nation and become a father-in-law. At the very least, he would not lose his life.
No one objected. Song Yan continued, "Since no one has any objections, let's do it this way. I will send someone to ask Emperor Zhao for peace."
