A powerful wave of transcendence energy rippled across the entire battlefield. Tao Qingli had already brandished the Dragon-Headed Scepter in her hand, and a golden dragon, flashing with a purple radiance, instantly soared into the sky. Like a whirlwind, it swept past everyone's heads. Shaking its head and wagging its tail, it dashed forward in a flash, devouring the two fleeing Red Lotus cultivators in one gulp. Two cries of agony echoed in the air.
Miao Yi was once again rendered speechless. Why didn't he dare to start a battle with such a powerful transcendent artifact? However, he quickly found out the reason behind it. After the golden dragon struck out, it quickly transformed back into a dragon-headed staff and returned to Tao Qingli's hand. Tao Qingli's complexion seemed to be a little pale. It was obvious that controlling this transcendent artifact was quite taxing on her. With her current cultivation, it was a little too much for her to handle.
The most dangerous battle of this battle — the battle between the Red Lotus cultivators — had already ended. The eight Red Lotus cultivators from Traversing Sun Palace's Suppressing Heart Hall and Suppressing Ninth Hall had all been killed. However, the situation over at Traversing Water Palace wasn't any better. Over fifty Red Lotus cultivators had surrounded the eight Red Lotus cultivators, and six of them had actually died. Two of their Hall Masters had fallen as well.
Coincidentally, the Hall Masters who had died in battle were also the Hall Masters of Suppressing Xin Hall and Suppressing Tenth Hall.
As soon as the victor of the battle in the air was decided, the people from the two halls of the Sun Palace immediately panicked. They didn't even have the last bit of hope left.
"Surrender! I surrender! "Someone threw down his weapon and shouted.
However, the Traversing Water Palace's forces had already overcome the fear in their hearts. Their eyes had turned bloodshot, and their bestial instincts had been unleashed. Furthermore, Traversing Water Palace's decree was to kill them all. In response, that person received five or six long sabers and spears, chopping him into pieces.
Voices of surrender rose and fell, as did screams of misery.
Seeing that their surrender was ineffective, the remaining people risked their lives and charged forward, hoping to carve out a path of survival.
At this moment, Miao Yi had already appeared outside the battle formation. In a battle like this, how many minions could he kill? Crafty Royal Lever? Badger Liver Enzyme Stupid Neon Anxiety? Omata Hikari Imperial Inquisitor? Stop??? Blowing neon balloons? Zheng? Music Coffin Yohhengfeng Promissory Note Lang Otter
Therefore, a group of people followed behind him. If they found anything wrong, they would rush to his aid.
Judging from the current situation, victory and defeat had already been decided.
The forty Red Lotus cultivators descended from the sky and stood by Tao Qingli's side. Zhao Fei cupped his fists and said, "Palace Lord, the outcome of this battle has already been decided. The first battle is already a foregone conclusion. Suppressing First Hall Master Miao Yi should be enough to stand guard here. We will act according to the plan! "
Tao Qingli nodded. She swept her gaze across the forty or so Red Lotus War Generals and said, "After this battle, everyone should know that Traversing Sun Palace isn't all that impressive. Our Traversing Water Palace can still defeat them. All of you can rely on your own abilities to protect your own women, glory, splendor, wealth and rank. A man should be like this. How can you be greedy for life and be afraid of death? You can't even be compared to this consort's woman? Let's go! Follow me and flatten the Self Suppression Hall! "
As soon as she finished speaking, she leapt off her mount. More than forty Red Lotus cultivators followed closely behind her, rushing towards the central area of the Traversing Sun Palace's Self Suppression Hall. They wanted to kill the Hall Masters and other Red Lotus experts within.
This was the plan they had come up with. As soon as they won this battle, Tao Qingli would immediately lead a group of people to eliminate the experts from Self Suppression Hall. This would clear the way for the army behind them to advance at top speed. As long as the Red Lotus experts from Self Suppression Hall were gone, the forces under the Self Suppression Hall wouldn't be able to withstand the onslaught of over a hundred thousand soldiers.
Zhuang Youwen and Shang Liuhuan exchanged glances. There was no longer any need to stay and watch the final battle of the army. So many people had already died.
The two of them shot up into the sky. Shang Liuhuan quickly rushed towards the central area of the Traversing Sun Palace, while Zhuang Youwen rushed towards the central area of the Traversing Wood Palace.
Miao Yi raised his head to look at the disappearing figures in the sky with a solemn expression. The battle before him had only just begun. The true battle that would decide life and death had yet to begin.
"Hurry! No one is allowed to watch. The enforcers and Traversing Water Palace's forces are to join the battle together. Eliminate the remaining enemies as quickly as possible. Those who disobey will be executed! "
Miao Yi, who was watching the battle from the outside, suddenly invoked his arts and bellowed angrily.
"Attack!" The enforcers guarding the outer perimeter immediately shouted as they charged into the battlefield.
Traversing Water Palace's forces exchanged glances, but they didn't dare to disobey the order. After all, now that their Palace Lord was gone, Miao Yi was now in command of the army. They quickly charged into the battlefield with battle cries, ready to be baptized by the bloodbath.
The battlefield rumbled endlessly. Cries of pain and the neighing of dragon steeds could be heard everywhere. The stench of blood lingered in the air!
When the last Traversing Water Palace cultivator was surrounded by a dozen or so cultivators, he was minced into meat paste. The blood-soaked Traversing Water Palace cultivators scanned their surroundings in search of their enemies. However, all they could see were their own people. There were no enemies in sight. Beneath their feet were only the corpses of their enemies.
"We've won …" Someone shouted in a lonely voice.
Earlier, all they could think about was killing endlessly. They were a little confused when they ran out of opponents. Now that someone had reminded them, they realized that they had won. Everyone immediately cheered.
"We've won!"
"We've won!"
"We've defeated the forces of Traversing Sun Palace!"
Many of them found it hard to believe. Many of them looked at their blood-soaked bodies and suddenly burst into tears of joy, laughter, and tears, thanking the heavens that they were still alive.
However, Miao Yi's joy was short-lived. Ignoring everyone's laughter and tears, Miao Yi invoked his arts and bellowed, "The battle is not over yet. All Manors, Mountains, and Caves, gather your men and immediately clean up the battlefield!"
When the battlefield was cleaned up, everyone couldn't laugh anymore. Over a hundred and thirty thousand Traversing Water Palace cultivators had surrounded their twenty thousand allies like an iron bucket. Almost thirty thousand of Traversing Water Palace's forces had died. Everyone once again realized the gap between their perception and the enemy's.
The corpses of the dead, be they enemies or allies, were all piled up together. Miao Yi ignited a dozen Red Blaze Resins and shot them at the mountainous pile of corpses. The flames burned fiercely, and the air was instantly filled with the stench of burnt flesh.
Several thousand of the heavily injured were either lying on the ground or standing, while the lucky hundred thousand were standing by the side.
All of the spoils of war were roughly distributed to the various Halls, and they were told to distribute them on their way back. They couldn't afford to waste any more time here.
Looking at the sizable spoils of war, everyone's eyes lit up once more.
As the wounded retreated, Miao Yi ordered those who weren't heavily injured to escort the heavily injured back to Traversing Water Palace.
After that, Miao Yi left twenty thousand men behind and ordered them to split into two groups to clear out every Cave, mountain, and manor of Suppressing Ninth Hall and Suppressing Xin Hall, and even the headquarters of the two halls. Miao Yi ordered these twenty thousand men to flatten these places and not let a single cultivator escape.
Aside from the fact that they weren't allowed to disturb the residents, he also ordered them to keep whatever they looted from the Cave Abodes. Even the women they abducted would belong to them. However, there was one thing Miao Yi had to do — he didn't want the handmaidens of the Cave Abodes to be spared. He didn't want anyone seeking revenge in the future!
He ordered these twenty thousand men to immediately return to Traversing Water Palace after clearing out the Caves of the two Halls, because their mission had been accomplished.
Naturally, these twenty thousand men were overjoyed. They knew that the forces of the two Halls had almost all been wiped out here, and that the ones left were just guards at most. There wasn't much danger, so they immediately accepted the order. They promised that they wouldn't let Miao Yi down, and they split into two groups.
As for Miao Yi, he led the remaining eighty thousand men straight to Self Suppression Hall. The reason why he allowed the twenty thousand men to leave was simple. If even eighty thousand men couldn't take down a single Self Suppression Hall, then adding another twenty thousand men would be useless. It would be harder to command more men, so it was better to reduce the number and end the battle as soon as possible …
Traversing Wood Palace, inside Advisor Bo Xin's cultivation residence. Bo Xin and Sun Palace Advisor Wen Chengzhen were engaged in a heated debate in a picturesque pavilion, separated by a round jade table.
"Bo Xin, why are you going back on your word? My Sun Palace has already taken a step back. We're only taking four Halls' lands, while you're taking six. Why are you still so greedy?" Wen Chengzhen pointed at Bo Yan's nose and bellowed.
One of the Deacons beside Bo Yan smiled and said, "Advisor Wen, you can't say things like that. You already have two crystal coin mines among the four Halls' lands, and they're both rich in resources. It's only natural that it's beneficial to the people, and it's also beneficial to trade. Naturally, you'll be able to earn more than a normal Hall's lands."
Wen Chengzhen narrowed his eyes and scoffed, "Is this a place where you have the right to speak?"
Bo Yan chuckled. "He's speaking the truth. Your Sun Palace will give us another crystal coin mine!"
As the argument continued, Zhuang Youwen quickly flew over and barged into the Palace Lord's quarters. The handmaiden waiting at the door immediately raised her hand and said, "Advisor Zhuang, please come in. The Palace Lord is waiting for your reply!"
Zhuang Youwen cupped his fists and quickly entered. As soon as Cheng Aofang saw him, she asked anxiously, "Youwen, how's the situation over at Traversing Water Palace?"
Zhuang Youwen cupped his fists and replied, "Palace Lord! In the battle, Traversing Water Palace defeated the forces of Sun Palace's Suppressing Heart Hall and Suppressing Ninth Hall, and killed eight Red Lotus cultivators from Sun Palace. Before I arrived, they had already sent their troops to attack Self Suppression Hall. Traversing Water Palace is truly going all out! "
"Great!" Cheng Aofang clapped her hands excitedly and laughed heartily.
Zhuang Youwen continued, "Palace Lord, if we're going to fight, let's not waste any more time. Sun Palace will surely send reinforcements later. If we drag this out, Traversing Water Palace won't be able to handle it. If Traversing Water Palace is defeated and their experts return, we'll have missed this golden opportunity!"
Cheng Aofang sneered and waved her sleeves. "Let's go! Let's go see how Bo Yan and the others are doing! "
The two of them didn't even bother walking. With a swoosh, they flew out of the hall and into the skies, heading straight for Advisor Bo Yan's residence. Soon, they landed outside the picturesque pavilion in the courtyard.
When the two parties in the pavilion saw Cheng Aofang, they both stood up and bowed.
Cheng Aofang slowly walked over and chuckled. "You two have been talking for so long. Are you still not done yet?"
Wen Gongzhen snorted coldly. "It's you who went back on your word …"
Alas, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly sensed an abnormal fluctuation of transcendence energy beside her. She quickly raised her hand to block it, only to feel a sharp pain at her waist. Bo Yan had stabbed a sword into her waist.
Fortunately, Wen Gongzhen reacted quickly and grabbed Bo Yan's wrist. Otherwise, she would have been cut in half at the waist. Her other hand met Bo Yan's palm strike head-on.
Boom! The two's violent transcendence energy instantly blasted the picturesque pavilion away. It wasn't just the pavilion. The entire Advisor's residence was instantly razed to the ground. It was as if the heavens were falling and the earth was splitting apart. The cultivators on the surrounding mountains all came out to take a look.
"B * tch! Why did you harm me?! "Wen Gongzhen's shrill, furious howl rang out amidst the smoke and dust.
A loud rumble rang out from within the smoke and dust. Wen Gongzhen spat out a mouthful of blood as she flew into the sky. Cheng Aofang's figure chased after her like a phantom. She struck Wen Gongzhen's body three times in a row, shattering the last of her transcendence energy defenses.
