The sound of the Jasper Saber's Great Dark Heaven Memorial striking the barrier reverberated through the sky.
The noise alarmed the remaining civilians in the city.
Even though a group of people had left, there were still some left.
He swept his gaze across the streets of Yan Province's main city. Crowds of civilians were running toward the western city gate.
At this time, a large number of soldiers appeared from the west gate, as well as cultivators flying over at a low altitude.
"Stop right there!"
"No one is allowed to run!?"
"Anyone in the city, regardless of age or gender, cultivator or not, will be killed on the spot!"
A cultivator's deep and powerful voice immediately stopped all the people who were heading towards the western part of the city to take refuge.
Most of the people in the city could only run east …
The cultivators flying at low altitudes were monitoring the commoners who were about to run.
…
Clang —
There was another loud noise.
The Dark Heaven Starlight unleashed by the Jasper Saber's Great Dark Heaven Memorial was dazzling like fireworks during the day. The spinning energy starlight kept attacking the barrier.
Bang, bang, bang!
The energy saber vanished, and the ripples on the barrier dissipated as well.
Yu Zhenghai stood proudly on the flying chariot as he looked down at the city.
This barrier was much stronger than the one in Yu Province. Even after using the Great Dark Heaven Memorial twice in a row, it only caused some ripples and showed no signs of shattering.
Si Wuya said.
"Such a huge commotion will definitely attract Ma Luping. That mysterious expert who imitates Second Senior Brother must have some tricks up his sleeve. He should be able to escape. "
"I hope he's not that stupid."
"Elites are always confident. Since he's imitating Second Senior Brother, I'm sure he's a confident person as well. I'm just worried that he'll fight to the death," Si Wuya said.
"Now that you mention it, wise brother, he might really be stubborn." Yu Zhenghai frowned. "He's as troublesome as your Second Senior Brother …"
"…"
Yu Zhenghai pushed his palm forward.
The Jasper Saber flew away for the third time.
Unlike before, Yu Zhenghai extended his arms and floated up. Dense energy sabers appeared in front of the flying chariot with the Jasper Saber as the center.
"Sovereign's Descent!"
All of the energy sabers resembled the Jasper Saber.
It went straight down.
The city guards stopped in their tracks and looked up at the energy sabers that filled the sky.
The strong should be in awe.
Only the sect master of the greatest fiend sect under the heavens, Yu Zhenghai, could unleash such a technique.
The Great Dark Heaven Memorial descended upon the world.
If the battle in the Radiant Cloud Forest was lacking the aura of a sovereign, it was more than enough now.
Everyone in Yan Province's main city who saw this stopped in their tracks and looked at the sky.
The energy sabers rained down like a storm.
Bang bang bang …
The barrier trembled.
The collision of the energy saber and the barrier produced a dazzling blast of energy that intertwined with each other.
The people in the city even thought that the barrier had been broken.
The Sovereign Descent's attack caused an even wider ripple to spread throughout the entire barrier.
The Sovereign Descends the World lasted for some time. Under the ferocious attacks, the barrier dimmed by thirty percent.
The cultivators who were originally eager to help defend the city were completely dispelled by this scene.
Why was the Nether Sect the greatest Fiend Sect under the heavens?
How did the Nether Sect conquer Great Yan's nine provinces?
At this moment, everyone found the answer.
…
Hua Chongyang gulped. "Cult Master's saber technique is at the peak of perfection. He's a role model for our generation!"
Yu Zhenghai landed and retracted his arms.
The Jasper Saber flew back into his hand.
Yu Zhenghai looked down at the barrier from above.
"The barrier has weakened by thirty percent. Eldest Senior Brother's Sovereign Descent will surely strike fear into Ma Luping's heart," Si Wuya said.
Yu Zhenghai was extremely satisfied with his attack.
"It's just a barrier. I'll surely break it with three more slashes."
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Countless bolts shot out from the huge ballistae on the city walls.
The sound of the bolts tearing through the air resounded in the skies.
The defenders began to retaliate.
When Hua Chongyang saw this, he said, "Sect Master, leave this trivial matter to me."
"Go."
Hua Chongyang leaped down.
He summoned his Seven-leaf Golden Lotus avatar.
Whizz!
It swiftly expanded and shrank.
The bolts were repelled.
Yu Zhenghai nodded. He no longer paid attention to the ballistae. Instead, he looked down at the soldiers on the city wall. "If Ma Luping still doesn't come out after three slashes, I'll take your heads once I break the barrier."
A grand sound wave descended from the skies.
It was deafening!
A deep and majestic voice rang from the western side of the city.
"Grand Sect Master Yu, how majestic."
The others looked over.
The city guards bowed one after another.
"Welcome, General Ma!"
At low altitudes, the defenders on the city walls bowed in greeting as well.
The mahjong soldier had a thin face and was not big. However, his aura and majesty were impressive.
He was Ma Luping, one of the eight great generals of the Imperial guards.
Ma Luping rose into the air with his hands on his back. He had the air of a king.
Yu Zhenghai said disapprovingly, "Ma Luping, if you have the guts, come out and fight me."
When Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya saw Ma Luping, they felt relieved. This meant the elite who had been secretly helping the Nether Sect was safe.
Ma Luping said, "Sect Master Yu, if you have the guts, break this barrier and fight me."
The two sides faced each other.
Yu Zhenghai was about to speak.
Si Wuya held him back and said, "I'm afraid Ma Luping has reinforcements. We'll have to think about taking down Yan Province."
"Reinforcements?" Yu Zhenghai was puzzled.
Si Wuya said, "Xuan Jingyun and Wang Yue should be guarding the Divine Capital. The two of them and the Big Dipper Academy's ten elders have mastered the Divine Capital's Ten Terminal Formation. They won't leave easily. Liu Gu doesn't seem to have left the Ten Terminal Formation. That's unlikely … The presidents of the two academies and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Wei Zhuoyan, are a possibility. "
"Didn't you say that Wei Zhuoyan is an impostor?"
"It doesn't matter if he's real or not. It's true that he can command the three armies … He doesn't have that ability, but he's greedy," Si Wuya said.
"That bastard! If it weren't for master's support, would he be where he is today?"
"The human heart is unpredictable," Si Wuya said.
"You've reminded me, wise brother …"
He had expended much of his Primal Qi. It would take some time before he could break the barrier. At that time, he would no longer be in peak condition.
Yu Zhenghai walked to the edge of the flying chariot and looked down at Ma Luping as he said, "Ma Luping, for the sake of the civilians in the city, I won't break the barrier today …" He did not give Ma Luping a chance to mock him. Instead, he released a soundwave and said, "When the Nether Sect was founded, I've established an iron rule that civilians are not to be harmed. Today, your generals are holding all of you hostage. How hateful! Although I'm on the Fiend Path, there's a Fiend Path as well. I wouldn't do such a filthy thing. "
He paused for a moment before he continued, "I'll announce this to the world so that the people can see your true colors."
"Retreat."
The Nether Sect's flying chariot turned around and flew away slowly.
The Nether Sect members outside the city walls gave up on attacking as well.
The crowd retreated.
Ma Luping was dumbstruck. He was rendered speechless by Yu Zhenghai's performance.
The cultivation world had never involved the civilians … This was because everyone who had embarked on the path of cultivation understood the most basic principle. Cultivators originated from mortals.
This was the unshakable foundation of the cultivation world.
It was easy to annihilate a person, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand people. However, annihilating the people of a province or a nation was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Hence …
Ma Luping was baffled.
Someone on the street began to shout.
"The Imperial family doesn't treat us civilians like humans! This is unfair! "
"Even a Fiend Sect like the Nether Sect knows not to touch the civilians … The general guarding the city is using us as hostages! What a sin! "
"Why?! The lives of the officials are important, but the lives of the civilians aren't?! Why?! "
Once someone took the lead, the shouts turned into a tidal wave.
Ma Luping's eyelids twitched.
Although he was strong enough to kill them all, his rationality reminded him that he could not do it!
"General … Deputy General Ma is dead!"
When Ma Luping heard this, his eyes widened. He said hatefully, "I'll kill anyone who dares to make a ruckus!" “
His voice rolled.
The discussion came to an abrupt halt.
The civilians looked at Ma Luping in horror. They no longer dared to make a sound.
Some of the civilians were already thinking about the Nether Sect's invasion.
Ma Luping said expressionlessly, "Look after them. Kill those who leave without permission!"
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, in the nearby alley, Yu Shangrong looked up at the departing flying chariot. He crossed his arms and walked in another direction.
…
Inside the Evil Sky Pavilion's eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes after meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls for a day.
At this moment, a voice rang from outside the door.
"Master … a letter from Seventh Junior Brother."
Creak!
Lu Zhou walked out and saw Mingshi Yin standing respectfully at the door. He waved his hand, and the letter flew into his palm.
After reading the letter, Lu Zhou said disapprovingly,
"Are you treating me like I'm not here?"
Mingshi Yin had read the letter and knew what was going on. Hence, he said, "Master, with your cultivation base, why don't you just go to the Divine Capital and kill Liu Gu? Eldest Senior Brother wouldn't have to go through so much trouble then."
"…"
Lu Zhou was speechless.
'I want to as well, but I'm not strong enough.'
"The Divine Capital is protected by the Ten Terminal Formation. It won't be that easy."
Mingshi Yin smacked his own forehead.
"You're right, master. I forgot that we'll need the Nether Sect's support to take down the Ten Terminal Formation."
Apart from the many elites in the palace, the Ten Terminal Formation was the reason the Imperial family was undefeatable for so many years.
It could be said that more than half of the elites in Great Yan were in the Divine Capital.
This was no exaggeration.
