This You Ji General is Gu Qing Shan!
The cultivators all calmed down.
You Ji General Gu Qing Shan is Bai Hua Saint's direct disciple.
He has a military rank, a status, he was the one who planned the large-scale military campaign, and now he's taking responsibility for his actions.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next order.
Gu Qing Shan spoke with killing intent and shouted: "Enforcers, step forward, if you see anyone trying to disturb the army's morale, no need to report, execute them!"
As soon as he said so, a few dozen enforcers stepped forward.
Not only are these enforcers powerful, they're also quick to kill, specifically chosen to enforce military law.
Seeing that, the other cultivators couldn't help but go silent.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: "Relay my order, the airships are to form a rapid march formation, everyone retreat to the Southwest, our destination is the You Ji Camp 2000 miles away"
One of the Rejuvenation realm cultivators couldn't help but speak up: "I don't think this is — — -"
Gu Qing Shan coldly spoke: "This is a critical moment, anyone who disobeys my orders will be executed!"
A few enforcers silently stepped forward and surrounded the Rejuvenation realm cultivator.
The cultivator immediately went silent.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "All formation users will temporarily stay behind to cover the retreat, those who try to run away will be executed!"
The words "behead" carried a murderous intent that could break gold and split stones, making everyone feel the power of military law.
Gu Qing Shan shouted again: "Move out!"
The cultivators all moved.
Airships were released one after another. The cultivators followed the pre-arranged rapid march formation, quickly and orderly piloted the airships and flew to the sky.
Gu Qing Shan then looked at the two great cultivators and said: "The three of us are You Ji Generals, so we'll be responsible for covering the retreat, we'll also observe the situation"
The two great cultivators exchanged glances, then looked outside.
Only to see the rain of fire connecting the sky and the earth, carrying an aura of destruction as it slowly moved towards the camp.
Under the rain of fire, a sea of demons rushed forward like a tidal wave, occasionally screaming in pain.
Those were the demons that were too slow and were caught up by the rain of fire. They were burnt to ashes on the spot.
Among the two generals, the Soul Formation cultivator's gaze swept past the sea of fire and locked onto a few ferocious Soul Formation realm demons.
He couldn't help but take a step back and quickly said, "You and I are both You Ji Generals, you can't order me around."
"Since I'm the one who gave the order, I'm in charge of the retreat. This is a military order!" Gu Qing Shan said solemnly.
A burst of spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the Soul Formation cultivator's body, and he was about to suppress Gu Qing Shan.
With his realm, he could immobilize Gu Qing Shan with his spiritual pressure alone.
"How dare you?" Gu Qing Shan narrowed her eyes and said softly.
The Soul Formation cultivator's spiritual pressure stopped.
In the sky, the cultivators were retreating in an orderly manner. Everyone was watching them.
Moreover, the Saint definitely had a way to find out the cause of the matter.
"Humph! You and I are of the same rank, so you have no right to interfere with my actions. I will explain this to the Ding Yuan General. "The Deity Transformation cultivator coldly said.
He released his airship and flew away.
He was so fast that the guards didn't even have time to stop him.
Gu Qing Shan then looked at the Rejuvenation realm cultivator.
"I'll cover the rear with you" the Rejuvenation realm cultivator said.
"May I ask your title?"
"Chen Qiao"
"Where's that man just now?"
"Wang Lie, his temper isn't too good, don't mind him"
"I won't bother with a dead man, General Chen, go and urge the formation users to activate all the formations"
"… Yes sir!"
The young General in front of him was only a Foundation Establishment peak, but for some reason, the Rejuvenation realm cultivator couldn't help but shiver, answered and quickly left.
Outside the outpost, the formations lit up one after another.
Streaks of five-elemental spiritual light rose from the formation, illuminating the entire sky into a sea of colorful lights and shadows.
Gu Qing Shan silently counted.
36 offensive formations, 72 defensive formations, the number of Heavenly Spirits, the number of Earth Fiends, the number of Heavenly Spirits, everything was in place.
Gongsun Zhi was a formation grandmaster, wherever he was, the outpost would always be seamless and watertight.
The formation users of the outpost were all under Gongsun Zhi's command, so they weren't willing to give up on the outpost so easily. Right now, they were all trying their best to show off the power of the formations in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Just the construction and maintenance of these formations would consume an astronomical amount of manpower and spirit stones, enough to make a medium-sized sect go bankrupt.
No one would be willing to take on such a heavy responsibility if they were to give up on such a military outpost.
This is a decision that only the commander of an army can make.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't hesitate to give the order to retreat.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the outpost's wall, observing the approaching rain of fire and demon swarm.
At this point, no one noticed that behind a certain building in the outpost, the soil was starting to loosen.
All of a sudden, a sword silently appeared.
As soon as the sword appeared, it found a secluded spot and silently stood there, not making a single sound.
From its angle, it was able to see the scene of Gu Qing Shan commanding the army.
Just like that, it silently watched.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the outpost's wall, observing the situation with all her might.
All of a sudden.
From the sky above the rain of fire, a black shadow descended, quickly heading towards the outpost.
As Gu Qing Shan looked up, her expression changed.
It was an airship, with a large "Chan" character written on it.
The airship was heavily damaged, staggering in the air, almost caught up by the rain of fire behind it a few times.
Seeing that, a few dozen powerful demons screeched as they flew towards the airship.
"Formation flags!"
Seeing the dire situation, Gu Qing Shan shouted.
36 black flags, 72 purple flags flew in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Black flags represented offensive formations, while purple flags represented defensive formations.
On the handles of the flags, different colors were used to represent the 5 Elements of the formation.
This was a fortress array flag that was created using a special method and could be controlled with spiritual will.
Gu Qing Shan held the control of the formation flags in her hand.
108 formation flags flew up, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the wind, using her inner sight to lightly point at 16 black flags and loudly ordered: "16 black flags, cover the airship"
Immediately, the cultivators guarding the 16 offensive formations received the order and formed their hand seals at the same time.
The 16 Offensive Formations slowly began to move.
A few moments later, countless blinding beams of light shot out from the outpost, knocking the monsters near the airship away, killing them, crippling them, or falling into the rain of fire behind them.
Gu Qing Shan then pointed at 27 purple flags and ordered: "Release the long-range defensive formations"
As soon as she said so, several dozen flashes of light flew out from the outpost, landing on Ning Yuechan's airship.
Thanks to the outpost's protection, the airship barely stabilized itself and was about to crash into the outpost.
Gu Qing Shan quickly pointed at the remaining formation flags and shouted: "All defensive formations, open the gate for us!"
In a split second, all the defensive formations on the outpost began to glow as a wide gate appeared.
The airship went through the gate, passed by Gu Qing Shan and crashed into the outpost, kicking up a large amount of sand.
"General Chen, arrange for the rescue!" Gu Qing Shan looked at the demons outside the outpost and said without turning around.
"Yes!" Chen Qiao brought a few cultivators with him.
At this point, the first wave of demons was about to arrive.
Gu Qing Shan quickly pointed at 36 black flags and ordered: "Follow the direction of my inner sight, fuse as one and attack!"
The 36 magic arrays were activated at the same time, and the entire military camp was shaken slightly.
A few moments later, the 36 formations fused into one, turning into a giant pillar of light that shot into the sky.
This pillar of light followed Gu Qing Shan's inner sight and struck the ground a few miles in front of the outpost.
"Not enough, do it again!" Gu Qing Shan continued.
Another gigantic pillar of light flew out of the camp, whistling through the air before crashing into the ground.
"Again!"
Boom!
"Again!"
Boom!
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the outside, then jumped down from the outpost's wall and quickly flew towards Ning Yuechan's airship.
A few miles away from the outpost, a bottomless ravine that was over a hundred meters wide had appeared.
This ravine separates the outpost from the demons, unless there were a few high-tier demons, there's no way for them to jump over.
The demons that couldn't stop themselves quickly fell down, while the rest chose to squeeze through the ravine to find other ways to escape.
Just like that, the demons were forcefully split into two groups, avoiding the outpost.
But the destructive rain of fire didn't seem to have any intention of changing directions, instead heading straight for the outpost.
Inside the outpost, the airship had already been opened.
Ning Yuechan dragged the unconscious Gongsun Zhi out, worriedly looking at Gu Qing Shan.
"Are you the one controlling the formations?"
"Yes"
"Where are the cultivators?"
"I told everyone to retreat"
"Where did they retreat to?"
"Leng Tian Xing's outpost"
"That's good, that's good" Ning Yuechan sighed in relief and loudly ordered: "Change to an airship! Everyone leave the outpost! "
She is the Ding Yuan General, so her orders were quickly carried out.
This time, even the formation users couldn't say anything.
Because the outpost's commander is unconscious, the situation has already reached an irreversible state.
"What happened to General Gongsun?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I don't know either, we were exploring a ruin when he suddenly collapsed" Ning Yuechan answered.
"How did that happen? What was he doing at the time? "
"He picked up a formation plate and was trying to refine it"
"What!?"
Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at Gongsun Zhi, seeing that he's already unconscious, he knows that there's nothing he can do right now.
"It looks like his soul vessel was attacked, it's best to send him to the rear for treatment"
He immediately got an airship, had Chen Qiao carry Gongsun Zhi, and boarded it together with Ning Yuechan.
"What about you?" Ning Yuechan stared at him and asked.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to jump on the airship, he noticed something.
At a corner of a certain building in the outpost, a broken sword was silently lying there.
Gu Qing Shan didn't know why he noticed this broken sword.
He suddenly remembered the Thaumaturgy's first Quest.
[Quest objective: Display your abilities in Shen Wu world until you find a weapon]
Find a weapon …
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then told Ning Yuechan: "You guys retreat first, I'll cover the rear"
"Very well, take care of yourself, we'll see you in a bit" Ning Yuechan isn't a pretentious person, so she took the airship and flew away.
The rest of the cultivators quickly retreated.
Very quickly, the entire outpost was empty.
Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the broken sword.
This was a very unique looking sword, from the looks of it, it must have been around for a very long time.
As Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at the sword, he found that the sword's design, patterns, and hilt were completely different from other swords of the current era.
One side of the sword was flat, as if it had been cut in half, leaving only half of it, while the other half was missing.
Gu Qing Shan bent down and picked up the sword.
[Ting]!
The System's voice sounded.
[The user has picked up a weapon]
