When Li Jiao rushed out, the remaining two cultivators outside had already been dealt with by Shi Yanxin and Yao Zhenjun.
Without Li Jiao shielding them from the illusions, they couldn't tell where the sword light was coming from or where it was going. At the last moment, they tried to retreat, but they ran into the Creator's defensive line set up by Yin Huanting. Then, Yao Zhenjun caught up and killed them one by one with her sword.
Because of the illusion, they couldn't even put up a decent resistance.
Yin Huanting looked at the thick city walls that still stood outside Mianlu and felt that it was a pity. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to be on guard against King Xi sending more people to consolidate his victory, he would've waited a few days before fighting with Li Jiao and the others. At that time, the city walls surrounding Mianlu would've been completely set up.
Then, when the three Xuan Zun defeated or killed these people, they would be able to take over the city walls completely. They could also use this opportunity to set up another defensive line outside.
There was also the blazing Sun of Creation above. He raised his head and glanced at it. He didn't know what those flames were, but he could sense that the spirituality inside was being eroded bit by bit. After being completely infected by the flames, this creation should be useless.
He couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. However, after thinking about it, there were many tricks in the Sun of Creation. King Xi might have a way to control it, so it wasn't very likely to be able to keep it. If it was destroyed, then so be it.
This time, there were actually many creator cultivators who came with the fleet, but these people didn't have much ability to resist the illusion. If they weren't killed on the spot, then they were captured.
Without Li Jiao's jade talisman to control them, Wu She and Shi Lu were also deceived by the illusion and were spinning in circles the entire time. These creatures' abilities were actually quite good, but without someone to control them, they would expose serious flaws. These flaws were deliberately left behind during the modification. These two creatures and the "Inquiry Bird" were captured by the creator cultivators at Mianlu.
On the other hand, the Great Ring Hall couldn't be preserved because it was severely damaged. However, the creator cultivators found some important things inside and sent them to Zhu Zonghu.
Zhu Zonghu scrutinized the six crystal cabinets in front of him. They should be the six mystical creatures of the Myriad Spirit Institute, which were also the most powerful weapons in King Xi's possession.
However, he could not use these things. Instead, he had to be more vigilant. He said to Yin Huanting, "Can I trouble Mister Yin and the rest to suppress these things first?"
Yin Huanting said, "Don't worry, Zong Shou. These mystical creatures can be suppressed and imprisoned like the Mirror Bird. They can be used to assist the formation."
Zhu Zonghu raised his hand and bowed. "It was all thanks to all of you that we won this battle. I thank you."
Yin Huating said, "Zong Hu, there is no need to say such things between allies. Furthermore, this matter may not be over yet. After suffering such a loss, King Xi may not give up just like that. "
Everyone present nodded. This time, they had almost completely annihilated the invaders and achieved an unexpected victory. However, they had to consider King Xi's next reaction.
Daoist Wang said in a low voice, "Based on my understanding of King Xi, he will likely deploy even more troops to attack Mian Lu. Next time, his army will definitely be several times stronger than this."
The land under King Xi's rule was vast, the population was huge, and there were countless manufacturing factories. Even though they had lost thousands of flying boats this time, in the intense battle at Spirit Corner City, it was only a few days' worth of losses for both sides.
This kind of confrontation had lasted for more than ten years.
This time, the attack on King Xi was mainly on the upper echelons of the army. Five cultivators were killed or injured, and twelve mystical creatures of the Myriad Spirit Institute were killed or captured. Even for King Xi, such a loss was heart-wrenching. This was especially so when the upper echelons of the army did not suffer any losses during the battle at Spirit Corner City.
Yin Huanting said, "Zong Shou, if we win this battle, we will be able to gain more support."
Zhu Zonghu looked pensive. He understood what Yin Huanting meant. Mian Lu had displayed enough strength, so they could use this to gain more support from other forces.
He slowly said, "I will arrange for envoys to go to various places. My granduncle's forces are great, but he also has many enemies. I believe that there will be people willing to support us."
Outside Mian Lu City, the ancestor elder of the Suan Ming Sect sat on a flying ship. He was stroking his beard as he pondered. He had seen the entire battle just now.
He was very surprised. He never thought that Mian Lu would be able to rely on her own strength to persevere and even wipe out all the enemies. After thinking about it, he felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
However, he did not regret his choice. This was because King Xi's forces were not limited to just this little bit. Otherwise, the six great sects would not have retreated to the outer space.
Although King Xi's forces were only a portion of the Vast Race's, the Vast Race's forces were not as strong as they were now. If they could do it back then, there was no reason why they could not do it now.
He shook his head. Mian Lu had only persevered for a while. Although he felt that there was a problem with the six great sects' decision to support King Lie, at present, it seemed that the integration of the cultivators and the upper echelons of the Vast Race was indeed the best way for both sides to rule the world.
If King Lie seized the authority, it would also mean that the cultivation sects had seized the authority. If King Lie unified the entire Vast Race, the cultivation sects and the Vast Race would jointly rule the world. Moreover, there would be no fighting between the two sides.
However, the sect master and Elder Fu did not think that this was a good choice. Instead, they believed in those Celestial Beings. He did not want to care too much about these things. He only needed to protect himself and the interests of the sect.
He looked at the city ahead. King Xi's army would sooner or later crash into the city like a tidal wave and destroy this city on the beach.
Just five days after Li Wei and the others were completely wiped out, more accurate news was sent to King Xi's desk. His face was gloomy as he said, "Li Wei has failed to live up to my trust."
Li Wei thought that he did not know that the fleet had been attacked. In fact, the Creator Solar Star had already sent the news back. King Xi had never truly trusted his subordinates. However, as long as he could accomplish something, he could turn a blind eye to the loss of the fleet. However, he absolutely could not tolerate the failure that followed.
However, he realized that he was not as angry as he thought he would be. Perhaps it was because the previous failures had already caused him to have a bottom line of tolerance. Perhaps it was because Mian Lu's display of power this time made him feel that Zhu Zonghu being recorded as a Zongzi by the elders was not a choice that was too embarrassing for him.
He chuckled and said, "Zhu Banye has never displayed any outstanding talent in the past. I thought that he was not a qualified successor. However, from the looks of it now, perhaps this idea was not correct."
Daoist Wei said, "Your Highness, have you changed your mind?"
King Xi sneered and said, "How is that possible? I am a king. A king will never regret like his subjects and subjects. The ones who should regret are his subjects and subjects."
Daoist Wei said, "Zhu Banye is still the same Zhu Banye from before. He only relies on those celestials."
King Xi used his whip to knock on the table. He raised his head and said, "To be able to know how to use people properly and let them display their talents, this is the breadth of mind and boldness that a king should have."
Although he believed that a leader and a king should be like this, he had clearly removed himself when he said this. This was because he believed that he was someone who did not need to abide by the rules and should be above them.
Daoist Wei said indifferently, "I have said that you can leave this matter to me. It is very easy. In just one day, I can raze Mian Lu to the ground."
King Xi rejected him again and said, "Master cannot leave my side."
The curse he was under was becoming more and more serious. He could not leave Daoist Wei's protection at all. However, he did not expect Mian Lu to be stronger than he had expected. They could not even take down an army that could easily overturn a sect.
It was not that Li Wei and the others did not underestimate the enemy. However, to be able to make Li Wei and the others unable to return, even a complete fleet would be useless.
Daoist Wei did not say anything else. Since King Xi had said this, he must have his own ideas.
King Xi used his whip to knock on the table. After a while, he suddenly asked, "How long can this method of alleviating the curse last?"
Daoist Wei said, "It can last for three years at most. If the source is not dealt with, there will be changes after three years."
King Xi said, "Master, it seems like that matter will have to be brought forward."
Daoist Wei looked at him and said, "Have you decided to use that method?"
King Xi leaned back and said, "Is there any other choice?"
Daoist Wei muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Since you have decided, I will cooperate with you. You are the first person in hundreds of years of the Boundless Race who is willing to make this choice."
King Xi waved his hand and said, "It is just that my previous skills were not mature enough. If it was not a last resort, I would not want to do this."
Daoist Wei nodded and said, "I will make the preparations. Do you still need to make any arrangements?"
King Xi said, "Before that, I still have something to do." He stood up and walked to the crystal wall. He looked to the west and said, "This time, I will personally lead the army to attack Mian Lu. I will not give my grandnephew any more chances."
At the same time, the army that King Xi had sent to attack Mian Lu had failed. Moreover, the news of their complete annihilation had spread among the various powers.
At the beginning, the various powers and the Boundless Race's relatives had the attitude of watching a good show. They thought that Mian Lu would not be able to resist, but they never expected that the result would be like this.
What was even more inconceivable was that even the upper echelons of the Boundless Race did not make a comeback.
This forced them to reevaluate the strength of Mian Lu. However, they also did not think that King Xi would lose in this kind of conflict.
However, from the perspective of these relatives and nobles, this was actually a good thing. King Xi's energy was tied up by this matter, so he had no time to pay attention to them. They could also take advantage of this period of time to recuperate and recover.
However, just half a month after they received this news, the various powers received another shocking piece of news. King Xi was personally leading a large fleet from Guangdu and was heading towards Mianlu.
While the various powers were shocked, it was not difficult to see that King Xi had made up his mind this time. He wanted to completely settle this matter.
It was obvious that Mian Lu would not be able to resist this time.
