At the frontline of Spirit Corner City, King Xi's army was attacking fiercely. Since the start of the war, they were practically unstoppable, as if there was an invisible hand helping them from behind.
The side that Zhu Yanding was in charge of was also progressing smoothly. These days, wherever his army went, all kinds of problems would appear in the enemy's fortress, which pushed him forward constantly.
From all the signs, this was very likely the doing of those cultivation sects from beyond the heavens. Currently, they were trying to make the internal strife in the Hao Clan even more intense.
But he didn't care about this. What did the loss of the entire Hao Clan have to do with him? He couldn't sit on the throne. As long as he could take it down, he could take all the benefits and strengthen himself. That was enough.
At this moment, he was sitting in the main ship with his arms crossed and looking at the map. At this moment, a trusted soldier walked into the main cabin nervously and saluted him, saying, "Master, urgent report!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and handed over a letter.
Zhu Yanding took it. His eyes flashed, and he said in surprise, "They're all missing?" He handed the letter to the advisor beside him. The latter took it and said with certainty, "Master, this matter definitely has something to do with Zonghu Zhu!"
Zhu Yanding frowned and said, "Something's not right. Where did Zhu Biye get the guts to defy my uncle's orders? There must be something else going on. "He was suspicious. Could it be that someone did this on purpose to instigate them to fight each other?
He instructed the advisor, "Mister Xu, go to my uncle and find out if anything happened recently."
Mister Xu bowed in acknowledgment and left the main cabin. However, he was gone for half a day.
Just as Zhu Yanding was getting impatient from waiting, he finally came back and brought news. He said, "Zonghu Zhu, I went to King Xi to find out, but I didn't get any results. King Xi seemed to have forgotten his promise to master. Later on, I went to Mister Chen to ask, and only then did I hear …"
He didn't dare to say what he was going to say. Instead, he used his spirituality to transmit a few sentences.
After Zhu Yanding finished listening, he said in surprise, "There's such a thing?" He snorted. I didn't realize before that this brat Zhu Biye was so daring. "
Sir Xu said, "My lord, in order to break the curse, it seems that King Xi will not transfer the fief to you."
Zhu Yanding made a sound of acknowledgment as he rubbed his chin in deep thought. Actually, he wasn't determined to obtain that piece of land. He had only mentioned it to King Xi in passing after receiving some benefits from Zhu Yeheng.
However, since it had already become his, even if he could not obtain anything, he would not allow this place to be in the hands of others.
He said, "Mr. Xu, please ask Refiner Han to go to Mian Lu and raze that city to the ground. Oh, and don't hurt Zhu Biye. He might still be useful to my uncle."
"Yes."
Mr. Xu bowed in response and walked to the back.
At this time, another trusted soldier walked in and came to Zhu Yanding's side. He said a few words to Zhu Yanding through spiritual transmission and handed over a military document.
After Zhu Yanding took it and read it, a trace of viciousness suddenly appeared between his brows. He said to Mr. Xu, who had not yet left the hall, "Wait, there's no need to shout." He snorted, "That brat is lucky."
In the military document just now, King Xi ordered him to cooperate with the army tomorrow to attack the current city. He also conscripted all of his creators to be in charge of holding the line.
This way, he would not be able to send out any of his higher-ups.
When he thought about how King Xi immediately made such an arrangement when he went to inquire about this matter, it was definitely not a coincidence.
He could guess what King Xi's intentions were.
King Xi was not willing to bear the bad reputation of breaking his promise, nor was he willing to let others know that he was being controlled by his grandnephew. At the same time, he did not want him to make a big deal out of this matter and put himself in an awkward position. Thus, he nailed all of his subordinates to the battlefield so that he could not cause trouble for Mian Lu.
Moreover, all of this was suppressed by military orders, so he could not go against them. It was not fun to disobey orders before the battle. King Xi had never been soft-hearted towards people like this.
When Mr. Xu returned, he handed over the military document and said, "Send this out. We need to support the main army tomorrow."
Although King Xi's offensive had achieved an unimaginable victory in the beginning, by the tenth month of the war, they were gradually finding it difficult to advance.
At this time, they had already broken through about half of the defensive line in Spirit Corner City. Every step forward they took, they had to pay a huge price, just like the previous situations.
But now that the war had reached this point, no one could retreat.
If King Xi's side retreated, then they would have to give up more than half of their previous gains. This was something he absolutely could not accept. The loss of benefits was secondary, but his power would also be greatly affected.
It was the same for the elders. If they were to be thrown into Spirit Corner City, which was an important strategic location, then King Xi would be able to drive straight in. The central region would be directly threatened by the army, so they naturally had to persevere and defend every foot of land.
In the fierce battle between the two sides that was like a meat grinder, there were tens of thousands of armored soldiers and hundreds of thousands of flying boats that were thrown into this meat grinder every day. Although both sides knew that someone was secretly interfering in this battle, they could only grit their teeth and persevere at this moment.
Above the sky region, where the Everlasting Sect was, the middle-aged Daoist and Elder Fu were observing the situation on the ground through a water mirror. They could see that at the front line of the confrontation in Spirit Corner City, there was a huge ravine that had been severely damaged on the ground. This was even under the situation where the upper echelons did not intervene.
The middle-aged Daoist smiled and said, "Elder Fu observed the heavenly secrets back then and said that the next few decades would be beneficial to us. It is indeed so."
The Six Great Sects of the Outer Heavens were happy to see the civil war of the Hao Clan. Now, they did not participate, but hid behind to add fuel to the fire. Reality proved that this method was very useful.
Elder Fu said, "The greatest benefit is not here, but the Celestial Being. Has the sect master noticed that this change only occurred after the arrival of the Celestial Being?"
The middle-aged Daoist nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. However, we are still unable to confirm the origin of this person."
Elder Fu said, "I feel more and more that these Celestial Beings came from the place where that person went."
The middle-aged Daoist said, "However, Elder Fu and those Celestial Beings did not mention where they came from, nor did they mention that person."
Elder Fu said, "I think that there are two reasons for this. First, they can't mention it, and they can't remember it. Second, people of a higher realm can't see cultivators of a lower realm, so they can't mention it.
The middle-aged Daoist nodded subconsciously. However, although he agreed with Elder Fu's judgment, he still had some reservations. He asked the disciple beside him, "How many Celestial Beings have joined our sect now?"
That disciple replied, "Reporting to the sect master, there are about a hundred and three people who know the identity. However, these Celestial Beings cultivate very quickly. When they practice Dao, they are far superior to our disciples. Other than being able to revive from the dead, they seem to be able to … communicate across space."
Elder Fu said, "This is because our race is different. I heard that in ancient times, some of the Barren Land's mutants also had this ability. However, most of them weren't intelligent creatures."
The middle-aged Daoist also agreed with this statement.
However, both of them thought that Xuanxiu could only communicate with each other within a certain distance. However, they never thought that, in reality, by relying on Xuntian Dao Zhang, Xuanxiu could communicate with each other even if they were separated by stars and continents.
The middle-aged Daoist said, "I heard that there is a region called Mianlu City on the Barren Land. It is the place with the most Celestial Beings on the Barren Land. Rumor has it that there are thousands of Celestial Beings there. Since there are some Celestial Beings at my place, then I can also send Celestial Beings to where they are. However, I don't know if this will affect the mysteries of the heavens."
Elder Fu understood what he meant. This was because the existence of Celestial Beings could obviously affect the situation on the Barren Land, thus weakening the Vast Race. Then, when the Vast Race noticed this, they might suppress the Celestial Beings. And since the Celestial Beings were beneficial to the various sects, then, of course, they had to think of a way to protect these people under certain circumstances.
He bowed and said, "Headmaster, wait for me to calculate." He took out a jade tortoiseshell instrument and put it in his sleeve. He calmed his mind to sense and calculate.
After a while, his spirit was lifted. He raised his head and said, "Headmaster, although I can't calculate the mysteries of the heavens further away, in the next few decades, not only will this not cause any harm, it will instead be greatly beneficial to our generation. It can even reduce the fate of the Vast Race.
The middle-aged Daoist said cheerfully, "If that's the case, I will send an emissary to that place to form a good relationship with them. If necessary, we can also help them."
Elder Fu said, "Headmaster's plan is feasible. Benefiting the Celestial Beings, helping them is also helping myself."
In front of a fortress in the region of Spirit Corner City, Lin Ling and the others stood on a flying boat. Meanwhile, there were thousands of flying boats around them that were advancing forward together.
The armored soldiers in the cabin stood extremely far away and looked at them with reverence. In their eyes, Lin Ling and the others were a group of undying monsters. They had all seen a person who was blasted into ashes by Xuanxiu, but in the blink of an eye, he came back from the dead.
This time, there were more than one thousand and two hundred Xuanxiu disciples who joined the battle. Some of them had only been here for a short period of time, so their cultivation base had not recovered at all. Moreover, they did not need to have any cultivation base. Now, most of them were wearing an outer armor. With their familiarity with the power of spirituality, they could easily unleash the power of the outer armor.
They could charge towards the fortress with tight defense without any hesitation. They were not afraid of being blasted apart by spiritual weapons like Xuan Weapons.
Once they were surrounded on the battlefield, even if their outer armor was damaged, they could directly borrow the power of the Great Primal Chaos. Although they were strictly ordered by Yin Huanting and the others to not turn into monsters of the Great Primal Chaos, they could temporarily gain a sliver of cultivation base and explode themselves. On the battlefield, it was very troublesome for the other side.
This time, they were going to break through a crucial point. If they could break through it, it would be a huge blow to the remaining defensive line of Spirit Corner City.
At this time, Lin Ling glanced to the side and saw a huge silhouette that was like a mountain lying there. It was a broken Sun of Creation that was destroyed yesterday. However, this could only paralyze the power of the other side for a few days. With the powerful creation ability of Spirit Corner City, a new Sun of Creation could be raised in about half a month.
Therefore, they only had less than ten days to break through this weakened defensive line.
Lin Ling saw that the flying boat was gradually approaching the towering city wall in front of them. He said to the armored soldiers, "All of you can leave. Leave the rest to us. "
All the armored soldiers saluted them respectfully and then retreated in an orderly manner.
Lin Ling walked forward and personally steered the flying boat. The two Xuanxiu beside him moved their minds and covered their bodies with outer armor. As the armored soldiers retreated from the flying boat one by one, the thousand flying boats that carried a large amount of Raging Domain Shattering Crystals were prepared to directly crash into the defensive spiritual wall on the other side and break through it.
The military formation at the back was waiting for the result of this collision. Then, they would be able to press forward like a flood.
At this moment, densely packed crystal dots rose from the horizon on the other side. These were the enemy's intercepting weapons. Lin Ling grinned and sent a message with the Xuntian Dao Zhang, "Everyone, get ready!"
