Although the thirty-odd Demon Saints of the Heavenly Ghost Tribe came from different tribes, none of them hesitated after hearing Lian Xiao's order. They immediately stopped and turned back to fight.
Ever since the East Barren Territory lost its three Great Priests, the kingdoms of the human path had retreated to the Cloud Plain, surrounded by many demon and alien tribes. For thousands of years, they could only barely protect themselves, and could not do much.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Ghost Tribe ruled the Western Region. There were more than two hundred Great Sages in the tribe, and there were also many demon sages under their rule. Before the arrival of the cultivators of the Nine Continents, there was no force that could match them.
The gap between the two was really too big, and the number of Grand Mystic cultivators from Eastern Wilderness who came to battle this time was not even as many as his opponent. Therefore, everyone on the Heavenly Ghost's side was full of confidence and thought that they would definitely win this battle easily.
On the side of the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Wilderness, everyone was solemn. Most of them were prepared to die in battle.
The Heavenly Ghost Tribe was tricky and more difficult to deal with than destroying the Ming Clan. If they had a choice, they would rather gather more people before fighting with their opponents.
However, time was of the essence. These twenty-odd people were the most they could bring out in a short time. If the Heavenly Ghosts were allowed to rampage in the hinterland of the Cloud Plain, the nations of the Eastern Wilderness would definitely suffer greater losses, and even the foundation of their rule would be shaken.
Now, with the help of the cultivators of the Nine Continents, the nations had just regained some momentum. They would not allow their enemies to destroy or obstruct them.
Seeing that the Heavenly Ghost Tribe had stopped in front of them and was not driven out of the Cloud Plain as they had hoped, Gongxian Zao knew that this battle was inevitable. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Raise the flag!"
Upon receiving his order, two warriors with great strength raised their hammers high and beat them at the flag placed on the bow of the ship.
With a loud bang, a dozen blood and qi flags rushed into the sky and fluttered in the air. They were as fierce as fire and fluttered above the hundred flying ships. At the same time. A cruel, unyielding, and incomparably domineering aura spread out.
Hundreds of thousands of Mystic warriors looked up and saw the ten "national banners" that the Divine Kingdom of the Eastern Wilderness had forged after conquering demons and demons in the past had reappeared in the world. All of a sudden, their blood began to boil, and they could not help but shout in unison. Rays of Qi and Blood Qi radiated from their bodies, stirring up the spiritual vigor between heaven and earth. Then, they each activated their flying ships. He fearlessly charged forward to meet his opponent!
In the plains of Xin Country, the king, Yue Xiao, stood at the top of the palace and looked into the distance. His eyes were filled with anxiety as hundreds of flying boats came to his aid. After chasing the Heavenly Ghosts for half a day, there were clouds of blood floating in the south. Even in the night, the sky was dyed red. He knew that the Great Mystic cultivators had already fought with those Heavenly Ghosts.
Yesterday, the brilliance finally dissipated. He knew in his heart that the outcome of this battle had already been decided, but he did not know what the outcome would be. The last time the Heavenly Ghost had attacked, the Xin Kingdom had barely managed to withstand it, but if Gongxi Zao's side was defeated, and this generation came to invade again, then they would be powerless to resist.
He felt that it wasn't a good idea to keep waiting like this, so he instructed one of his personal attendants, "You stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, come and report to me immediately. "
Then, he hurriedly returned to the pavilion, where there was a Daoist sitting cross-legged on a thirty feet long and wide jade platform. Rays of spiritual light flew from all directions and gathered into the formation plate beneath his feet. Not far from him, there was a cultivator who seemed to be protecting him.
Yue Xiao walked to the cultivator's side and asked, "Master Gao, when can this formation be activated again?"
Daoist Gao said, "Don't worry, King Yue. The formation is not damaged at all. In another two days, it will be restored to its original state. "
Yue Xiao, however, was anxious and said, "The situation is not good. The outcome of the battle should have been decided, but there is still no one coming back. If the Heavenly Ghosts won, they will probably be able to return here in a day. Can you hurry up, Master? “
Master Gao shook his head and said, "That can't be rushed. However, King Yue, you don't have to worry too much. Your Xin Kingdom is blessed by the heavens, and there is the protection of the mystical wind screen outside your kingdom. Together with the formation that we have set up, we can at least hold them back for a day. By then, the formation will be completely repaired."
Hearing this, Yue Xiao felt slightly relieved.
Master Gao looked at him and said, "However, I advise King Yue to make plans as soon as possible. If those Fellow Daoists can't win, it will be difficult to defend this place. Retreating is the best option."
Yue Xiao shook his head and said with a resolute expression, "As the king, I will live and die with the country." Then, he cupped his hands apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have implicated you."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Master Gao felt a bit of admiration. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I won't hide it from King Yue. Those Heavenly Ghosts aren't very fast. We have magic tools given to us by our sects, so if we want to leave, they might not be able to catch up. If King Yue doesn't want to leave, why don't you let us take away any important people?"
Yue Xiao's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and his expression became serious. He cupped his hands and said, "If that moment really comes, can I ask you to take the young master away?"
Master Gao said, "That's not impossible.
At this moment, the Daoist in the formation seemed to have exhausted his magic power. He walked out without saying a word and nodded at Master Gao before sitting outside the formation plate to adjust his breathing.
Master Gao cupped his hands at Yue Xiao and took over.
Yue Xiao thought for a moment and walked out.
Before he went out, the servant Just Now ran in hurriedly, his face full of excitement. He said, "King Yue, King Yue, the Grand Palace Masters are back."
"What?"
Yue Xiao couldn't believe it. He couldn't care less about the majesty of the king and walked out quickly. At this moment, the sun had just risen. In the morning light, flying ships could be seen coming from the horizon. The people standing on the ships were obviously the Mystic cultivators of Eastern Barren. He was also excited. He raised his hands and shouted, "God bless the people of our Xin Kingdom."
The battle between the Heavenly Ghosts and the Hundred Nations of Eastern Barren lasted for two whole days. However, the result of this battle was beyond the expectations of both sides.
The Heavenly Ghosts suffered a great defeat. Seven Great Saints died in the battle, while the Hundred Nations of Eastern Barren only paid the price of two Great Mystic cultivators dead and one seriously injured.
Even the Mystic cultivators of the Eastern Barren countries couldn't believe it. Before this, they thought that even if they could win this battle, it would be a pyrrhic victory. It would be good enough if they could drive the enemy out. They didn't expect that they could achieve such a great result.
After this battle, the Heavenly Ghosts were driven out of the Cloud Plains. The Hundred Nations of Eastern Barren originally wanted to expand their victory, but Lian Xiao didn't give them the chance. He stayed behind and ordered the Saints under his command to scatter and escape.
The Mystic cultivators of Eastern Barren needed to work together to unleash their power against the enemy. Moreover, they couldn't be sure if the Heavenly Ghosts had other reinforcements. After severely injuring Lian Xiao, they could only give up and return.
After Lian Xiao returned to the Heavenly Ghosts' encampment a few days later, he dove into his tent and fell into a deep sleep. Fortunately, his body was strong. In just one night, he walked out unscathed.
An elder of Suijian came up and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"
Lian Xiao sighed. "I was careless."
After explaining in detail, Elder Suijian finally understood the reason for their defeat.
The Heavenly Ghosts originally had the ability to turn into nothingness and shapelessness. With this supernatural power, they could gain the upper hand when fighting against any demons or alien species. However, this time, the Hundred Nations of Eastern Barren actually had a way to counter it, causing them to suffer a huge loss at the start.
Not only that, almost all the Great Mystic cultivators in Eastern Barren had a mystic treasure with extraordinary power. Once they fought, many were either fixed on the spot or moved out of the battle circle. Although it was only a few breaths' time, it was enough to change the outcome of the battle. The Heavenly Ghosts seemed to have more people than the other side, but under the restriction of the mystic treasures, they were actually fighting for themselves. How could they not lose?
Elder Suijian said in a low voice, "His Majesty originally hoped for a great victory. We lost so many people. If His Majesty blames us, we won't be able to bear the consequences."
Lian Xiao's expression turned cold. He said, "This matter can't be reported. We also need to restrain our subordinates from speaking carelessly."
Elder Suijian looked at him and said, "Even if Elder Lian doesn't say it, His Majesty has a way to find out."
Lian Xiao snorted and said, "I'm not afraid of His Majesty finding out. I'm just afraid of those tribal elders finding out."
Elder Suijian was shocked. He nodded and said, "But we can't hide it for long. What are our preparations?"
Lian Xiao said with a gloomy face, "If it wasn't for the fact that we didn't bring the World Reflection Tower this time, Eastern Barren wouldn't have been able to take advantage of us. I want to bring people to attack again. If we succeed, we can cover up this matter."
Elder Suijian Daoren said, "When are we going to do it?"
Lian Xiao did not lose his mind. He said, "The tribesmen are also tired after this battle. We will rest for five days before attacking Eastern Barren." “
Three days later, he had already returned to Zhang Yan's Floating Celestial Palace. He also received the news about the battle. He was not surprised that Eastern Barren could win against the Heavenly Ghosts. Instead, he felt that it was reasonable.
In the past few decades, the cultivators of the Nine Continents had built great arrays and refined magical treasures for the hundred countries of the Eastern Wasteland, all so that they could stand on their own and block the invasion from the south. Now, they had finally seen the results.
However, after the defeat of the Heavenly Ghosts, they could either retreat or invest more forces.
Zhang Yan thought about it and felt that the latter was more likely.
After all, there were only a few Mystic cultivators in the hundred countries of Eastern Barren. The death of any one of them was a loss. If the hundred states of South Sieve also joined in, it would be even more difficult to resist. Although they did not ask for help, the nine states could not just sit and watch.
After thinking for a long time, he released his divine will into a void. Almost in an instant, the figures of Sect Masters Qin and Yue also appeared. He bowed and greeted the two sect masters.
Sect Master Qin said, "Hall Master Du Zhen's divine will is here. Is there any change on the land?"
Zhang Yan said, "There is indeed something important." He told them about the attack on Eastern Barren and said, "This time, the tribes of the Heavenly Ghosts attacked Eastern Barren because they saw that our defense of the nine states was stable and couldn't find any loopholes. “
Yue Xuanxiao said, "Can Eastern Barren be defended? “
Zhang Yan said, "Although the hundred countries of Eastern Barren won a small victory, they won't be able to defend for long against the joint attack of the hundred states of South Sieve and the Heavenly Ghosts. If they are defeated, the south will lose its defense and will likely be attacked from both sides. However, if I reach out to help, I will only be led away by the Heavenly Ghosts. I don't think this is a good plan."
Sect Master Qin smiled and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, what do you think?"
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered and he said, "This time, the Heavenly Ghosts attacked Eastern Barren and mobilized many people. Although the Western Desolate Domain is not empty, it is definitely not as strong as before. Why don't we take this opportunity to attack first!"
