Gold. Fuxi sat on a gold-rimmed boulder with a longsword in his arms. He looked at the Heavenly River formed by the flowing lights and flying flames in the sky. His gaze was deep and he remained silent.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. It was Miyue and Fan Yang.
"Master," Fan Yang said respectfully.
"There are tens of thousands of worlds in the six realms, but no one has comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Mahayana. It seems that … the Heavenly Dao has been dormant for too long. Mortals have forgotten the respect and yearning for the Immortal realm."
Fuxi didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and waved it in the air. Instantly, the dense demonic clouds dispersed and a golden scroll unfurled in the air. It was the Heavenly Sound Scroll. At this moment, the Heavenly Sound Scroll was like a wordless scroll without a single word on it. This meant that no one had engraved their name on it for the time being.
"The Heavenly Dao of Mahayana is so vast that mortals can't comprehend it in a short time." Fuxi's gaze was calm. "How's the situation with the Heavenly Book of Demon Sealing?"
"Master, please take a look."
Miyue said softly. Suddenly, a purple demonic book appeared in front of them. It was densely filled with names. Miyue said, "In the six realms, more than sixty people have fallen into the demonic path and become Demon Gods born in the six realms. Just in the Celestial Pole Continent alone, three Demon Gods have appeared. The strongest among them has even reached the realm of a first-tier Middle God. Master, are we really going to leave little junior brother alone? You should know that if any Demon God wants to kill him, it'll be a piece of cake. "
Fuxi couldn't help but laugh. "Miyue, you're being too worried. Don't worry, Lin Muyu is much stronger than you think. Moreover, none of his friends are easy to deal with. Even a Middle God wouldn't be able to kill him so easily. Moreover, he once obtained many Divine Weapons in the desolate ruins, including the Chi You Armor and the Nuwa Zither. I believe he'll be fine."
"But … the Demonic Dao is thriving, while the Righteous Dao is declining. Are we just going to watch this happen?" Miyue's eyes were filled with uneasiness as she said, "Master, the Devil World is growing stronger day by day. Once their strength is completely strengthened, can you be sure that the Devil World won't covet the Supreme Shrine at Heaven's Beyond? At that time, it will be too late for regrets … "
Fuxi said faintly, "We are gods, we should know the will of the heavens and follow the will of heaven. If even I do such a heaven-defying thing, aren't you afraid that the Realm Beyond Heaven will also develop greed, anger, and obsession? Aren't you afraid that the Realm Beyond Heaven will take advantage of us and fall into the path of demons?"
"Will it?"
Miyue was stunned.
Fan Yang nodded. "Junior Martial Sister, I think he might."
"…"
Miyue remained silent.
Fuxi was still looking at the Heavenly River in the distance as he said, "The Great Dao is clear and the mortal world is vast. Yu can see through it and see through it all. Don't worry, his Dao is only his, no one can interfere with it. Miyue, if you are really interested in this Junior Martial Brother, then wait until he has comprehended the Mahayana Heavenly Dao. There will be plenty of opportunities. Perhaps … he will also be the key for us to counterattack the Devil World and reshape the laws of the six realms."
"Yes, I understand."
Even though she understood what was going on, Moon Compassion still turned around and left with her sword in hand. With a sway of her body, she reappeared in the Golden Divine Palace. She sat on the roof and looked up at the bright light in the sky.
…
January 10th, Tianji Palace.
Yang Yang's sword was inserted into the stone slabs at the foot of the throne, swaying left and right.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The civil and military officials knelt down.
"Calm down? How can I calm down?!" Yang Yang Yang's gaze was stern as he shouted in a low voice, "Zhou Ziyang, this incompetent person, has ruined our Lieshan Province … He has been defeated in consecutive battles. How did he boast that he would defeat Lin Muyu? Now, we have lost nearly half of the 300,000 Black Rock Army. The entire Lieshan Province has fallen into a desperate situation! "
The commander of the Thunder Soul Corps, Dugu Xian, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, actually Lord Longxi has already ascended to become a first-tier Intermediate Demon God. His strength is unfathomable. He still has 150,000 soldiers guarding Qianshan City. Qianshan City is very sturdy. Lin Muyu may not be able to break into the city in a short period of time. At this moment, we should immediately attack Xiping City and force Qin's back line. This will also buy Lord Longxi some precious time to deploy his troops."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please give the order immediately!" Han Yuan also cupped his fists and said.
Yang Yang Yang's gaze was sharp. He was so angry that he did not say a word.
The chief strategist, Xun Xi, smiled.
"Lord Xun, what are you laughing at?" Yangshang asked.
Xun Xi said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to save Thousand Mountain City anymore. The news of our defeat will definitely come in one or two days."
"Oh? Why is Lord Xun so sure that Lord Longxi will lose? "
Xun Xi bowed his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lord Longxi is indeed very strong, but in terms of war, Lin Muyu is much stronger than Lord Longxi. That Lin Muyu has been leading troops to war since thirteen years ago, and has experienced hundreds of battles, big and small. She is extremely good at attacking people's hearts, and even better at attacking cities. It can be said that in terms of offense, Lin Muyu is the best in the world, but in terms of defense, Lord Longxi is not the best in the world, so … in the battle of Thousand Mountain City, Longxi will definitely lose."
Yangshang frowned and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, what should we do now?"
"Lin Muyu will take down Thousand Mountain City, our army will recover Xiping City, and the Qin rebels will be forced to the southern border. The original Blackstone Empire's land is barren, and the population is sparse. It will be difficult for them to achieve great things. As long as we stabilize the morale of our troops, we will be in an invincible position."
"Good."
Yangshang said indifferently, "Immediately pass down my decree. The troops under Chen Yu, Duo La, and Dugu Xian at the border of Xishan Province are to mobilize a total of four hundred thousand soldiers to attack Xiping City. We will personally lead the troops!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
…
January 11th. The war drums thundered. The Qin Empire's expeditionary army had already arrived outside Thousand Mountain City. The prepared scaling ladders, siege towers, and magic crystal cannons were slowly pushed out. The main attacker was General Qin Yan, the commander of the national army.
The royal and commander flags fluttered in the air. The army of nearly two hundred thousand spread out, densely packed as far as the eye could see.
The war drums sounded in unison, and the momentum was overwhelming!
On top of the city wall, Longxi's arm had already been bandaged. Although he was a demon, it would take some time to reconstruct his arm. For the time being, he could only maintain this amputated appearance.
"Commander, the royal and commander flags are all there. Lin Muyu and Qin Yin must be there as well." A strategist pointed at the main camp of the Qin Army from afar.
"Hmph!"
Longxi said indifferently, "Pass the order to prepare the bows and crossbows. Also, push the fire oil and catapults up. Pass the order to the entire army. We must defend the north gate to our death!"
"Yes!"
The beating of the war drums became more intense, as the mighty Qin army raised their shields and approached the city walls. Arrows rained down from the city walls, clanging and clanging as they landed on the shields. However, it was hard for the arrows to kill the soldiers.
"Torch Stones!" Longxi raised his arm.
Immediately, huge burning stones fell from the city wall. In an instant, the Qin Army below the city wall was badly mutilated. The crowd quickly shook, and hundreds of people were wounded by the arrows.
"Hahahaha …"
The Captaincy of the Black Stone Army laughed loudly. One of them said, "Thousand Mountain City is the strongest city in the Blackstone Empire. The city wall is ten meters thick and twenty meters high. It was built with huge stones from the Dragon Mountain. These western barbarians must be dreaming if they want to take down Thousand Mountain City. Let them attack. No matter how many come, they will all die. Tonight, I will sneak attack their main camp. Let's see how the western barbarians will collapse without attacking!"
Longxi laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! "
… …
Before he finished shouting, the ground suddenly trembled. After a long time, the rumbling of cannons could be heard from afar.
"What's going on?!" Longxi was shocked.
The crowd looked to the west and said, "It's the city wall in the west … could it be …"
A Dragon Rider quickly descended from the sky, his face pale, "Commander, things are not good. Lin Muyu's troops are bombarding the city wall in the west. That place is most likely going to fall!"
"F * ck you!"
Longxi angrily stepped forward and kicked the Dragon Rider. He roared, "What are your scouts doing? Why don't you know the exact location of Lin Muyu's troops?!"
"We …"
The Dragon Rider spat out a mouthful of blood from the kick. He hurriedly knelt down, "We have committed a capital offense. Please forgive us, Commander …"
"Cut the crap!"
Longxi gritted his teeth, "Leave fifty thousand soldiers to guard the city gate. The rest of you, follow me to the bombardment site to defend against Lin Muyu's troops. They must want to break through the city wall and fight us on flat ground!"
"Yes!"
…
Two hours later, when Longxi led 100,000 infantrymen along the main road to the west of the city, he saw that the city wall in the distance had been flattened. The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the thick smoke. Longdan Army Camp's cavalry had already entered the city. Under the commander's banner, Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, Situ Sen, and the others took the lead. Without giving Longxi a chance to get into formation, Lin Muyu raised the Xuanyuan Sword and shouted, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
"It's over …"
Longxi's heart sank. He was full of despair. Although he did not know the art of war, the west city was an open field with no cover at all. It was the cavalry's world. The infantrymen behind him, who lacked training, would not be able to kill Lin Muyu's elite cavalry no matter what.
Moreover, Longxi was also injured. He was even more afraid of Wei Chou's Hou Yi Bow.
"Charge, kill them for me …" He ordered the group of Captaincy.
Everyone raised their long swords. This infantryman army, which consisted of only a few hundred Iron Cavalry, charged towards the elite Iron Cavalry in Longdan Army Camp.
Longxi did not attack personally. Instead, he stayed behind and stood under the commander's banner, watching the battle with his own eyes.
…
The 100,000 infantrymen and archers did not even manage to kill more than three people before they were killed by the cavalry. Not only the elite Iron Cavalry in Longdan Army Camp, but also the crazy Armor Demon Camp. The entire west city instantly turned into a river of blood.
The massacre continued for close to two hours. The Black Lava Army no longer had a decent shield formation or spear formation to defend against the cavalry's attack. The army was defeated like a landslide and scattered in the streets.
When the last group of people escaped from him, Longxi lost all his patience and laughed maniacally.
It was over. Everything was over for him.
"Commander, let's go quickly!" Two Dragon Knights descended from the sky. One of them had his shoulder pierced by a spear of Xing Tian Army and was bleeding profusely. He said, "The situation is over. The north city gate has been blasted open by the Magic Crystal Cannon. Thousand Mountain City has already fallen. We can only break through from the east. Once we enter the territory of Red Cliff Province, we will be safe. The 200,000 Wolf Soldiers at the border of Red Cliff Province will cover us."
Longxi said coldly, "Fine, let's go, let's all go …"
