After leaving Willow Water City, Lin Qian continued to supervise the Hua Xia Empire's army to attack the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom. He also maintained a certain intensity of the attack to pressure the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom.
The other two marshals from the Shang Yuan Celestial Kingdom led their troops and approached quickly, charging towards the direction of Willow Water City.
However, as soon as they arrived, they discovered that the entire Willow Water City had been sealed off by a formation.
"This …" Among them, the Eighth Level Sage Realm Marshal Jiang Nianxin frowned as he stared at the city in front of him. He had a bad feeling about this.
It was obvious that the formation around Willow Water City was not one of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom's style. It was likely that the bandits had already taken over Willow Water City.
On the other side, Marshal Jiang Nianyue, who was at the seventh level of the Sage Realm, also opened her communication crystal and sent a message to the Virtual Immortal King. She looked at her elder brother and said, "The Immortal King wants us to take back Willow Water City at all costs."
"There's no need to even think about it. You know how important Willow Water City is. It's only natural that we have to take it back at all costs." Jiang Nianxin laughed coldly as he looked at the ripples of the formation around the city. "I didn't expect these bandits to be so daring."
"However, this formation does not seem to be weak. If we want to successfully break through it, I'm afraid that we will need ten years." On the other side, Jiang Nianyue looked at the formation that enveloped Willow Water City and slowly said.
His eyes were glistening. It was obvious that he was also a formation master among the Four Great Marshals, in addition to his extraordinary battle prowess.
Furthermore, as a formation master, his attainments in the field of formations were quite impressive.
If it weren't for the fact that the Shangyuan Immortal Emperor had sent him to the northern side of the Upper Immortal Realm, the Shangyuan Immortal Emperor would have long dispatched him to the other side of the Upper Immortal Realm to breach the ancient city's formation.
"I'm afraid we'll need to put in a lot of effort," Jiang Nianyue sighed as he stared at the formation around Willow Water City.
Jiang Nianxin looked at the Willow Water City before him and realized that something was amiss. There was no one in the city at all.
It was as if the people in the city had already left and the buildings were empty.
"Could it be that the bandits have retreated? If that's the case, what's the point of them attacking Willow Water City?" Looking at the empty Willow Water City behind the barrier, Jiang Nianxin could not understand what was going on.
On the other side, Jiang Nianyue said, "Immortal King just said that the Immortal Court Army guarding Willow Water City has been wiped out. None of them survived."
"Weren't the bandits who attacked Willow Water City all killed by the Immortal soldiers here?" Jiang Nianxin said as he observed the array around Willow Water City. "The other party is probably here for revenge."
"Furthermore, they've most likely sensed that there's something special about this city that's extremely important to us. In fact, they've already sensed the existence of our army."
"However, they didn't discover the truth, but they weren't confident that they could defeat our army in a head-on battle, so they could only flee. Before they left, they didn't want us to reclaim the city so easily, so they set up a formation to make things difficult for us. "
Jiang Nianyue's speculation made sense. He reported it to the Shangyuan Immortal King too.
In the Immortal Court of the capital, the Shangyuan Immortal King was relieved after receiving Jiang Nianyue's message.
It was obvious that he thought Jiang Nianyue's speculation was highly likely.
Otherwise, why would the bandits be willing to leave Willow Water City and set up a formation that could be broken in ten years if they really discovered the truth?
Due to the importance of Willow Water City, the names of every Immortal Court Army stationed there were kept in the hands of the Shangyuan Immortal King. As such, he was immediately informed that the Immortal Court Army had been wiped out.
He was extremely nervous after learning that the Immortal Court Army had been wiped out. He was afraid that the bandits would discover the truth.
In the end, the Shangyuan Immortal King decided that if the bandits really discovered the truth, he would reveal it to the public. He would not let the bandits get away with it.
However, he let out a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Nianyue's report.
He was not willing to reveal the secret to the public. Once it was revealed, he would only be left with some scraps at most.
After he relaxed, he immediately ordered his men to quickly encircle and annihilate those bandits. He wanted to kill those bastards as soon as possible.
This lowly race actually dared to be so impudent, invading his Immortal Country, besieging his city and plundering his land.
Fortunately, he had managed to keep the news under wraps. If the neighboring factions of the Immortal Kingdoms learned about it, wouldn't they laugh their heads off and mock the Shangyuan Immortal Kingdom for being weak?
That being said, he believed that the leader of his Four Great Marshals, Nie Haojie, would be able to hold the bandits off with ease.
Not only was Nie Haojie the descendant of the Four Great Marshals, but he was also a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth-Order Sage Realm. A mere bandit from the human tribe was nothing to him.
However, the Shangyuan Immortal King also sent a message to Nie Haojie, telling him to be careful and not to underestimate the enemy.
After all, the bandits were quite strong to be able to defeat his disciple. They might even be related to Lin Di.
Besides, the fact that the Immortal Court Army of Willow Water City was eliminated so quickly proved that the bandits were not to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, Nie Haojie crossed his arms and waited quietly on the walls of the high-class Shanhai City in front of the capital of the Shangyuan Immortal Kingdom.
Judging from the route the bandits were taking, Shanhai City was the only place they would pass.
Besides, the message from his scouts also indicated that the bandits were indeed heading in the same direction, and would soon reach the city he was in.
As a matter of fact, Nie Haojie did not take the bandits seriously at all. Although the bandits were quite strong, he had never tasted defeat, thus he was quite proud of himself.
"Hmm?" Following this, Nie Haojie received a message from the Shangyuan Immortal King. He chuckled after checking it. "Immortal King, you're too cautious. Why would you care about a mere bandit led by a human tribe?"
After putting away the Communication Crystal, Nie Haojie narrowed his eyes and narrowed his gaze.
He could vaguely see the silhouette of a warship in front of him. It was most likely the enemy's fleet.
He had already received information that the cloud boat of the bandits was a giant vessel made entirely of soul ores.
However, in his opinion, it was a very stupid move.
Trying to impress the crowd!
"Humph, I would like to see what's so special about these human bandits."
