To the east of the Northern Border, above the mountains and hills, a fleet of more than 900 flying ships was waiting quietly under the protection of transcendence energy. They had been here for more than two months. Before this, they had been trying to find a weak point to break through the defenses of the Northern Border.
In one of the flying ships at the front of the fleet, Yan Yuming warned a young Xuanxiu disciple, "Lin Ling, I'll take care of you. This time, we're going to fight alone, and this involves the bigger picture. You'd better behave yourself!"
Lin Ling complained, "Senior Yan, what kind of person do you think I am? I've always followed the rules, and I've always listened to your orders. "
Yan Yuming chuckled a few times, as if saying, "I'd be a fool to believe you."
At this moment, a Xuanxiu disciple seemed to be paying attention to something. After a while, he turned his head and said, "Senior Yan, there's news from Emperor Xi's main army. They've already broken through the two outermost lines of defense, and are now approaching the inner parts of the Northern Border. However, there are still many fortresses in front of them, and their defenses are even stronger. They hope that we can make a breakthrough here soon so that we can support the main army."
Yan Yuming thought for a while and discussed with a lieutenant beside him. Then, he said, "Reply that we're looking for an opportunity. Please wait for our news."
That Xuanxiu disciple immediately used Xuntian Dao Zhang to send a message to Emperor Xi's fleet.
At this moment, Yan Yuming wiped his hand, and a map appeared on the crystal screen in front of him. The map was densely labeled with the deployment maps that they had discovered over the past few days.
He said, "The main army has many outer lines of defense, and it's the same here. We don't know how many fortresses there are, and perhaps most of the land in the Northern Border has been turned into military bases."
A Xuanxiu disciple said in surprise, "Then how do they produce and farm?"
Yan Yuming said, "From the limited information we have, a large number of factories and workers in the Northern Border have been underground.
That Xuanxiu disciple was speechless. "Are these people from the Northern Border all rats? Why are they so good at digging holes? " Immediately after, he exclaimed, "To be able to move so many people and production workshops underground, the Boundless Clan's creations are truly impressive."
Tianxia also had the ability to create things. He could also build an underground military base, but he had not yet developed to the level of the Creation School in this world. However, this also made many Xuanxiu disciples who entered this world realize that when a creation reached a certain level, it could also have the power to understand the Great Way like cultivators.
Lin Ling said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how many defenses there are, we'll just break through them one by one."
The reason why they were so proactive this time was because Emperor Xi had promised them beforehand. As long as they could successfully break into the hinterland and disrupt the deployment of King Lie, then once they conquered the entire northern border, one-third of it would be given to Xuanxiu.
The North was vast. One-third of it was already a very vast region, and it was a region that had been developed for hundreds of years.
Moreover, it was very suitable to leave this kind of surprise attack to Xuanxiu.
In the fleet, other than them, there were also some elite soldiers, captains, and some advisors. They were responsible for providing suggestions and cooperation for military operations. They truly believed that they would not be able to return.
However, they quickly realized that many of the "Celestials" also knew military affairs, and many of them seemed to have been immersed in it for many years. Although some of them were not familiar with the Boundless Clan's battlefield in the beginning, after some adjustment, they quickly calmed down. They also took over many of the tasks that should have been theirs.
As Xuanxiu could almost take over all of the tasks, they even tried to persuade them to return. However, no one was willing to back out. They thought that Xuanxiu was doubting their determination to serve the Boundless Clan, so no one mentioned this matter again.
On another flying ship, Yao Zhenjun held her sword and stood in the cabin. This time, she did not go to the main army and the flanks. Instead, she went to the east side.
This was because there was no obstruction from the Creation School here. Such a small-scale battle between elites was completely led by the upper echelons. She would have more chances to encounter the upper echelons.
She did not care if the defense in front of her was sturdy or not, as long as she could find her opponent.
At this moment, there was a spiritual light screen in front of her. A huge geographical map of mountains and rivers was displayed on it. The terrain inside was undulating, and there were mountains and rivers.
One of the advisors stood at the side and said, "Supreme Holiness, we have already circled to the north. I don't recommend going further north. Not only is there a vast desert behind us, but Lie King has also released 'Sky Poison'."
"Sky Poison" used mystical powers to artificially gather and create all sorts of powerful natural disasters. The places where "Sky Poison" was spread out could not be inhabited or produced. However, at the same time, it became a barrier. It was very difficult for the fleet to pass through it. Even if they could pass through it, they would have to face the unruffled garrison army after they came out.
At this moment, the advisor pointed at another place. He tapped a few times and saw that it was a mountain range. He said, "Supreme Holiness, here, here … and here. We have investigated many times and found that there are no military defenses in these areas. They are all guarded by cultivators, and there are formations set up around them. Perhaps they can be a breakthrough point."
Yao Zhenjun looked around with her bright eyes and asked, "Where is the strongest defense?"
The advisor pointed at a mountain range and said, "Supreme Holiness, the defensive formation here is the strongest!" "Yes."
Yao Zhenjun said, "Alright, let's go there!"
The advisor and the rest of the captains looked at each other with admiration. They said sincerely, "Supreme Holiness is wise!"
Although this place was the strongest point in the entire defense line, it occupied a vast area and had few connections with other places. It was relatively independent. Once it was breached, the entire small fleet could even break through it without alerting the guards at the side.
Therefore, this was both the strongest and the weakest point!
This Supreme Holiness Yao was indeed impressive to be able to see the weak point at a glance. She was indeed worthy of being a Supreme Holiness!
Yao Zhenjun held her long sword and said, "I will go and open up the path. You guys follow behind me."
The advisor and the captains all nodded solemnly.
Yao Zhenjun's figure flashed and she was already out of the flying ship. After confirming the direction, she flew towards the mountain range.
The reason why she chose this opponent was not complicated. It was purely because this opponent was the strongest. Another reason was that her sword cultivation senses told her that if she were to treat the defense in front as an opponent, this place was the most suitable place to break through.
She arrived at the mountain range in a flash. She only stopped when she arrived at the mountain range. Looking ahead, she saw that there was a large area of restrictive formation covering a radius of several thousand miles.
The Creation Barrier usually needed the Creation Sun, Star, Ring Hall, Fortress, Flying Ship, Armored Warriors, Creation Refinement Masters, and many other systems in order to unleash its power. Moreover, it also needed a large number of Creation Factories to maintain its consumption. The Lie Sovereign mainly needed to face the threats from the south and the west. The East and the North were blocked by a large number of "Sky Poisons", so there was no need to transfer precious manpower and resources here.
It was more appropriate to leave the defense of this corner to the cultivators. This way, there would be tyrannical strength to hold the fort and there would be no need to build thousands of fortifications. All they needed to do was to set up some formations.
After some observation, Yao Zhenjun found that the restrictive formation in front of her was mostly used to obstruct and alert the enemy. It was not used to attack the enemy. This meant that the opponent was not good at formations and was very confident in his own strength.
This was the opponent she needed. With a flick of her wrist, a soft sword light seemed to merge with the sky and sprinkled into the big formation. In an instant, the whole mountain was illuminated.
Alarmed by this, a black smoke rose from the peak of the Hidden Fog Mountain and formed into a black cloud. A cultivator in a black Taoist robe sat on top of it. He looked to be about thirty years old. His eyes were sinister, his nose was slightly high, and his eyes were cold.
Yao Zhenjun looked at this person and knew that this person practiced the Devil's Path. He should not be a cultivator from the Six Sects.
When Yao Zhenjun saw him come out, she did not say much. After a sword salute, her body swayed and seemed to merge into the light. Then, a sword light that seemed to pierce through the clouds tore through the black fog and slashed towards the person.
The cultivator in black sat on the cloud and did not dodge. He allowed the sword light to fall on him. However, when the light passed, it was as if it fell into the sea of clouds and the person was not hurt at all.
At this time, Yao Zhenjun was not the same as before. Along the way, she had experienced many battles with the upper class. Not only was her swordsmanship refined, but she also had more experience in fighting with opponents of the same level.
She could see that this sword of hers was a technique of "avoiding death and prolonging life". However, she was able to restrain this technique. This was because such enemies usually had their own escape techniques. Once her "Forced Light Rotation" was used, she could only attack the opponent and the opponent could not do anything to her. Then, as long as she did not stop attacking, any supernatural power could be broken.
Immediately, she cast the supernatural power on her sword. Suddenly, it seemed that thousands of light beams were sprinkled at the same time!
When the black-robed cultivator saw this, his expression changed slightly. At first, he tried to use his magic weapon to defend himself, but in just a few breaths, he was attacked by hundreds and thousands of sword lights. He felt that the protective magic he had cultivated was on the verge of breaking apart.
He sensed that his life would be in danger if he continued to fight, but he did not insist. He cast his spiritual power and caused the formation to slightly obstruct him. He raised his sleeve and wrapped his body. Suddenly, he turned into a black light and ran away. He actually directly gave up this defense.
Thousands of light beams in the sky turned, and Yao Zhenjun appeared in the light. She looked at the black light and did not chase after it.
The other defense formations here were not far from here. People only needed to rely on their skills to hide anywhere. Moreover, she also lost interest in continuing to fight with an enemy who had no fighting spirit.
Just as she stood there holding her sword, her robe and hair suddenly fluttered together. A few strands of hair also fell on her cheeks. It was the fleet flashing with spiritual light behind her. They passed by her one by one, bringing with them bursts of rushing air, one after another, to the far end.
More than nine hundred flying ships successfully broke through here and passed through this area at an extremely fast speed. They went straight into the hinterland of the Northern Border.
This time, they could only advance and not retreat. They could only keep moving forward until they were blocked and encircled. However, as long as they disturbed the rear, they would achieve the tactical goal.
