The new emperor's decree was announced.
The old commander of Huangji Cliff, Zhou Kefu, a Golden Immortal, was the commander. Mu Mu, the commander of the imperial guards, was the vanguard. They led a hundred thousand immortal cultivators and five hundred thousand Sky-Breaking puppets to the western region of the divine dynasty. They gathered about a hundred thousand soldiers to fight against the invasion of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect.
The war entered the second phase.
Extreme Emperor Cliff's tough response was out of everyone's expectations.
In less than a day, the western army arrived at the frontline, Sunset City.
There were ten cities in the western region of Huangji Cliff.
Sunset City was located in the middle of the western region.
With the fall of Liufeng, Taiping, and Hancheng, Sunset City, which was originally located inland, became the frontline.
The defeated troops of the western region also gathered in the city.
Li Mu, as the vanguard general, entered the city four hours earlier.
By the time Zhou Kefu's army arrived, the city had already been reorganized.
Zhou Kefu was an old Golden Immortal of Huangji Cliff. He had been loyal to three generations of emperors. He had high prestige in the military system of Huangji Cliff and was familiar with military affairs.
Zhou Kefu didn't have a good impression of Li Mu.
In his opinion, Li Mu was just a True Celestial who was lucky enough to stand on the Eighth Prince's side in the fight for the throne. That was how he rose to power like a dog and its fowls.
For old nobles like Zhou Kefu, there was always a kind of rejection in their hearts towards the new nobles.
So, Li Mu wasn't put in an important position.
After Zhou Kefu entered the city, all the military and political affairs were controlled by his trusted subordinates.
Li Mu, the vanguard general, was ignored.
As Zhou Kefu issued a series of orders, the morale of Sunset City, which had been dispirited, quickly improved. The chaotic situation was also changed.
The war drums sounded.
The old commander raised the tent and gathered the generals.
Who knew that just as the generals gathered in the commander's tent, before Zhou Kefu could open his mouth to give his instructions, the rumbling of war drums sounded outside the city, followed by a messenger rushing in.
"Report …"
"Commander, the Dongxuan Celestial Sect army is outside the city."
The messenger knelt on one knee.
Zhou Kefu raised his silver eyebrows and sneered. "Good timing. Generals, follow me to battle."
Dozens of generals, including Li Mu, climbed the watchtower of the West Gate of Sunset City.
Li Mu was at the edge.
He didn't care at all.
Outside the city, the Dongxuan Celestial Sect army covered the sky.
In the era of Immortal Collapse, the Immortal World was under the loose rule of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, which was somewhat similar to the era of the Three Kingdoms on Earth.
The clash between the two powers was for territory, cities, resources, and the population of the immortal citizens.
That was why they rarely massacred cities and cities.
There were certain rules in the war.
Some rules were set, while others were issued by the Alliance of Immortals.
Within the corresponding rules, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals rarely intervened.
However, if one party broke the rules, what awaited it would be the ruthless suppression of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
"Dongxuan Celestial Sect," Dongxuan army. said.
Amidst the Eastern Mystic Immortal Sect's army, a green Xuan'ge flew across the sky and stopped a thousand meters away from the city gate. Hundreds of Eastern Mystic Immortal Sect's experts stood on the bridge of the Xuan'ge.
The leader was the Great Elder of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, Wei Xianshan, a rather famous veteran Golden Immortal in the Yuechuan Prefecture.
He was also the great grandfather of Wei Rulong and Wei Ruhu.
Zhou Kefu was dressed in battle armor, and his aura was released. He was like a god as he floated up from the city wall and stood in the air. He sneered, "Wei Xianshan, your great-grandson died at such a young age. It must be hard for you to watch your son die before you, right? Why don't you obediently wait at home to die of old age? Could it be that you also want to bury this old bone under Sunset City? "
When Li Mu heard this, he gave Zhou Kefu a sidelong glance.
Old people have sharp tongues.
They were all veteran Gold Immortals with fiery tempers. Their words were rather blunt and full of gunpowder.
"Old Dog Zhou, you don't need to be so eloquent. Wait till I flatten your Extreme Emperor Cliff. I will exterminate your entire Zhou Clan … Men, who will help me chop off Old Dog Zhou's head?"
Wei Xianshan yelled harshly.
"Elder, disciple Liang Zhen is willing to be the first to fight."
A middle-aged disciple of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect looked ordinary. He carried an immortal sword on his back and wore a green immortal robe. His cultivation was not bad, probably an advanced Perfected Immortal. He leaped from the Xuan 'ge into the air and pointed his sword at Sunset City.
Liang Zhen swiped his finger across the blade.
Swoosh!
Several streaks of sword light shot toward Zhou Kefu like meteors.
Zhou Kefu sneered. He moved and returned to the watchtower of Sunset City.
What kind of status did he have? How could he fight with this junior?
"Which general will behead this Dongxuan thief who doesn't know his place for me?" he asked faintly.
When two armies faced each other, how could the general make a move so easily?
The experts under him would fight first to kill the enemy to boost morale.
"I, Liu Eighty, am willing to go."
A bald warrior clad in purple armor, holding a giant axe in his hand, loudly asked for permission to fight.
"Alright, let's cheer for General Liu."
Zhou Kefu nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Eighty soared into the sky and turned into a beam of purple light. He waved his ax and charged at Liang Zhen of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The battle between the two immortal cultivators began.
It was the first time he saw the battle between different forces in the immortal world.
It was familiar.
On Earth, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were many battles in which generals would fight in front of two armies. Their bravery would decide the outcome of the battle.
The more famous ones were about Warrior Sage Wen Jiu killing Hua Xiong, the Three Heroes of Hulao Pass fighting Lu Bu, and the later killing of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
He didn't expect the battles between armies in the immortal world to be similar.
This made Li Mu very excited and curious.
But on second thought, there was a reason for such rules.
Compared to the Three Kingdoms, in the immortal world during the Era of Immortal Collapse, the strength, bravery, and cultivation of cultivators had a greater impact on the war.
A true powerhouse of the immortal dao could wipe out an entire faction with a single move. They could defeat an army of the immortal dao on their own.
However, this would only happen when there was a great disparity in strength between the two sides.
For example, forces like the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and the Huangji Cliff were similar in strength. There were relatively few immortal cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm, which was a strategic deterrent. It was difficult for one of them to completely crush the other.
In this way, when the two armies fought, the "duels" between the top experts had a special impact on the morale of the two armies and the outcome of the war.
Boom!
"Ah …"
In the sky, there was a scream, and blood rained down.
Li Mu looked up and saw a giant ax falling from the void.
The sword light pierced Liu Eighty's body and directly minced him. Even his Primordial Spirit did not escape. He died on the spot in the void.
On the Setting Sun City, the generals of the Huangji Cliff all looked shocked.
Zhou Kefu raised his silver eyebrows.
He was surprised by this result.
The reason why he agreed to let Liu Eighty fight was that Liu Eighty and Liang Zhen were both at the peak of the Genuine Immortal Realm. Liu Eighty was also one of the fierce generals of the Huangji Cliff. His combat ability was stronger than what he showed on the surface. He had been famous for a long time and had a high chance of winning against Liang Zhen.
Zhou Kefu wanted to win the first battle and raise the morale of the remaining troops in the Setting Sun City.
Who knew …
He had outsmarted himself.
What a mistake.
Zhou Kefu's eyes became serious.
"Hahahaha, old dog Zhou, is the sword of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect sharp?"
On the Xuan 'ge, Wei Xianshan laughed.
After all, Zhou Kefu was an experienced general. He calmed down immediately and said without turning his head, "Which general is willing to kill Liang Zhen for me and avenge General Liu?"
"General, I'm willing to go."
A rather young general in silver armor with a silver spear stepped out.
Zhou Kefu glanced at him and smiled. "Good. General Zhao is willing to help. I'll definitely return victorious. Hahaha, very good."
Silver Spear Zhao Rulong.
This young man was a rare genius in the army of the Extreme Huang Cliff. He had cultivated for less than five hundred years and was about to reach the Golden Immortal Realm at such a young age. He was invincible among those in the same cultivation level and was known as the Silver Spear Young Martial God.
Zhou Kefu was relieved that Zhao Rulong was willing to help.
He believed that they would definitely win the second battle.
Swoosh!
The silver spear shot across the sky like lightning.
A fierce battle started in the sky again.
However, it did not last more than ten rounds. Blood rained down from the sky again.
The silver spear was a third-grade Immortal Artifact, but it was shattered. Zhao Rulong ended up like Liu Eighty-one. He was minced into pieces by Liang Zhen's sword aura from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect. Even his Primordial Spirit couldn't escape.
"What?"
"This … General Zhao isn't weak either?"
"How could this be?"
"The strength of an unknown disciple of Dongxuan Immortal Sect is actually this powerful?"
At the west gate of the Setting Sun City, the generals of the Extreme King Cliff were shocked when they saw the result. They were shocked and frightened.
Zhao Rulong was one of the hidden trump cards of the Western Expedition Army.
He had been killed by ten strikes.
It wasn't as simple as losing the first battle.
Losing two battles and losing two Perfected Immortal Cultivators not only affected the morale of the army, but it was also a huge blow to the strength of the Western Expedition Army.
It was easy to have an army of a thousand, but it was hard to find a good general.
What should they do next?
Everyone could tell that Liang Zhen of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect wasn't simple. If he wasn't a Golden Immortal, it would be difficult to win.
But the problem was that Liang Zhen's cultivation level was only at the Perfected Immortal Realm.
A Perfected Immortal of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect had forced the Golden Immortal of the Extreme Huang Cliff to make a move. Even if they won, it wouldn't mean much. They would be laughed at instead.
Zhou Kefu's silver eyebrows twitched. He was furious.
He realized that he had been too careless.
This Liang Zhen must be a core disciple that the Dongxuan Immortal Sect had secretly trained. He had a hidden trump card. He had used his trump card right from the start and caught the Extreme Huang Cliff off guard.
How could he turn the situation around?
Zhou Kefu had thought about it for years and couldn't think of a better candidate.
"Hahahaha, Old Dog Zhou, is there no one else you can use? The Extreme Huang Cliff is at a dead end. You are just a skeleton in a grave. Within three days, I will take down Sunset City and wipe out the two hundred thousand soldiers in your city. "
On the Xuan 'ge, Wei Xianshan laughed maniacally.
In the air, Liang Zhen, who had won two battles in a row, had a look of disdain.
The celestial sword in his hand pointed at the soldiers of the Extreme King Cliff on the city gate and said indifferently, "You, you … you … you are a bunch of useless people. Can't any of you fight?"
The tip of his sword pointed at them one by one and finally pointed at Li Mu.
"You are young and your rank is not low. I think that the Extreme Huang Cliff trusts you quite a bit. Hehe, don't you even have the courage to come up and fight? Coward, pitiful! "
He didn't know Li Mu.
But that didn't stop him from mocking Li Mu.
Because except for Zhou Kefu, who was an experienced Golden Immortal, everyone else standing on the city wall was like a chicken or a dog in his eyes. They couldn't withstand a single blow.
