Enemies Are Attacking!
"Don't be anxious. Our mission is to deal a fatal blow to the Giant Shield City at the most crucial moment. Elder Meng has just launched an attack on the Giant Shield City, so if we act rashly, we might alert them."
The taller grey-robed cultivator waved his hand. His tone was calmer, and his expression was calm. There was not a trace of panic on his face.
"Although that's the case, I'm still a little worried." The shorter cultivator had a grave expression, since he felt that they had already been exposed.
"You don't have to worry. We have the elixirs that Elder Meng has refined. Even if Fairy Yun Xi and the Palatial Master were standing before us, they wouldn't be able to discover that we're Pinnacle Ninth Grade Earth Sovereigns."
Patting his chest, the taller martial artist moved and headed straight for the tower at the south gate of Giant Shield City.
Clearly, he wanted to mix into the army and wait for an opportunity to make a move.
"Damn it."
Seeing the actions of the taller cultivator, the shorter cultivator gritted his teeth and quickly followed up.
Creak!
The south gate of Giant Shield City soon let out a creaking sound as Master Ji Mo made a series of hand seals.
Rustle!
When the gate opened, Ning Yue immediately charged out with the fifty First Grade Earth Sovereigns.
Rumble!
The moment they charged out, Ning Yue and the rest had encountered a huge problem.
The seventh and eighth wave of the four armies, consisting of over two hundred Fortune Realm and Earth Sovereign Realm cultivators, charged towards Ning Yue's party.
A huge battle had instantly erupted.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Fifty First Grade Earth Sovereigns and over two hundred experts below the Earth Sovereign Realm fought. Practically in an instant, there were huge casualties.
In the first round of attacks, the Giant Shield City had lost three First Grade Earth Sovereigns, while the four armies had lost 30 Manifestation Realm cultivators.
One to ten!
Judging from this ratio alone, Ning Yue's group would need to lose more than 20 people in order to kill all the martial artists of the four armies.
"Our main task is to stall for time, not to risk our lives!"
Unleashing his powerful Spiritual Perception, Ning Yue transmitted his voice to the remaining 47 Earth Sovereigns, "Hold on for ten minutes, then retreat!"
Ning Yue was not a hothead.
Preserving their strength was the most important thing at this stage.
If they could resist, they would resist. If they couldn't, they would retreat.
Ning Yue believed that as long as Palatial Lord Centaurea finished off the Fiend Spirit realm black-robed warrior and the bamboo hat man, the four armies would definitely collapse on their own!
Puchi!
Battles continued to break out.
With Ning Yue's size, the martial artists of Giant Shield City all adopted the tactic of wandering around and did not fight head-on with the four armies.
Five minutes later.
Ning Yue and the others had killed fifty warriors from the four armies, while none of their own had died. Only two of them had suffered minor injuries.
"Meng Quan, quickly send out Earth Sovereigns!"
Looking at the intense battle, Nandou Venerable's face was unsightly as he said in a solemn voice, "The Giant Shield City has sent out fifty First Grade Earth Sovereigns. We have to wipe them all out to raise the morale of our army!"
"We do need to send out Earth Sovereigns, but not now."
Meng Quan had a sense of propriety. He had already planned this beforehand, so he naturally wouldn't change it so easily.
Sweeping his gaze across the surrounding martial artists, Meng Quan's gaze stopped on Di Lingtian.
"Are the cultivators of your God Emperor Palace willing to take revenge for your Ancestor?"
A playful smile rose on the corner of Meng Quan's lips, as if he was looking down on the God Emperor Palace.
"Nonsense, of course I want to take revenge for my Ancestor!" Before Di Lingtian could speak, an Eighth Grade Earth Sovereign beside him coldly said, "I request to go out and kill those bastards of the Giant Shield City!"
"Good, I like your character."
Being reprimanded by that Eighth Grade Earth Sovereign, Meng Quan wasn't angered in the slightest. On the contrary, he nodded his head and continued, "One of the cultivators below the Giant Shield City is Ning Yue, the current leader of the Giant Shield City. If you can capture him alive, I can get half of the army to listen to your orders!"
Boom!
Meng Quan's words had caused a huge commotion in the surroundings.
Ning Yue actually left the Giant Shield City?
Didn't he know that if the leader was captured, it would cause the morale of the army to plummet and ultimately lead to their defeat?
"I feel that we should send out fifty Eighth Grade Earth Sovereigns. No matter what, we must capture Ning Yue!"
Xi Dou Venerable also wanted to capture Ning Yue alive. After all, Ning Yue had Ma Qianshan under his control, and Ma Qianshan had caused a commotion in the Western Route Army.
If Meng Quan was the first person who wanted to capture Ning Yue, then Xi Dou Venerable would be the second person who wanted to capture Ning Yue alive.
"Since you have this thought, why don't you go over?"
Meng Quan pondered for a brief moment before he continued, "Ning Yue is only a Ninth Grade Human Sovereign, and the people beside him are First Grade Earth Sovereigns. As a Half-Step Heaven Supreme, you'll definitely be able to capture Ning Yue the moment you go over."
"What a joke!"
Xi Dou Venerable replied without any hesitation.
Xi Dou Venerable was not a fool.
From his point of view, the fact that Ning Yue dared to leave the Giant Shield City meant that he definitely had a trump card.
Bait!
Those two words appeared in Xi Dou Venerable's mind.
Ning Yue knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he took the risk and used himself as bait to capture the higher-ups of the four armies.
It had to be said that it was a very sinister plan.
If it was not for Xi Dou Venerable's outstanding judgment, he might have really been deceived.
At the same time, Xi Dou Venerable's opinion of Meng Quan worsened.
Meng Quan was clearly sending him to his death by asking him to capture Ning Yue!
If Ning Yue knew about Meng Quan's suspicion, he would probably laugh out loud.
He merely wanted to stall for time, so he was not thinking about these things at all.
It was not a good thing for Meng Quan to frame him like that.
"Di Lingtian, your Emperor Palace's great ancestor must've been captured by the people from the Giant Shield City. As long as you capture Ning Yue alive, you'll definitely be able to exchange for him. You have no other choice."
Xi Dou Venerable shifted his gaze to Di Lingtian and said coldly, "If you can capture Ning Yue alive, I promise to let the Emperor Palace pick a treasure first when we attack the Giant Shield City."
"Go!"
Since Xi Dou Venerable had put it this way, it would be unreasonable for Di Lingtian and the others to not make a move.
The Emperor Palace's great ancestor was trapped in the Giant Shield City. If they were afraid, they would be brutally punished even if they returned to the Emperor Palace.
Instead of returning in a sorry state, they might as well take a gamble.
If they really captured Ning Yue, it would not be impossible for them to rescue their great ancestor.
Swoosh!
Di Lingtian took the lead and charged at Ning Yue with the remaining 7 to 8 martial artists from the Emperor Palace.
