Morale was especially important in a battle between two armies.
Yin Tiancheng and the others had crossed the defensive line and attacked the Qitian Peak. Their goal was to break through the Soaring Cloud Hall and slaughter Xue Dangkong and the others, thus lowering the enemy's morale.
As long as morale was low, Yang Yan and the others would not be able to stop the Jingtian Army's charge. When that happened, the entire Qitian Peak would naturally fall into Wu Jing Xue's hands.
This battle would also come to an end.
However, Chu Xingyun's return had swept away the crowd's dejection and boosted their morale. Thick battle intent surged from everyone's eyes as they took a step forward and actually had the momentum to suppress the enemy.
Most importantly, there were two other figures following Chu Xingyun. One was a human, and the other was a beast.
Yin Tiancheng didn't pay much attention to the spirit beast. It was only an earth spirit beast and its battle strength was limited. However, the human figure cast a shadow over their hearts.
"No wonder you didn't appear after so long. You went to call for reinforcements."
Luo Chuanfeng stood up and shook off the bloodstains on his body. He laughed coldly, "However, it's a bit of a fantasy to think that you can stop us with just one person in the sky spirit realm. A sovereign king would only need a single glance to easily kill such a person."
As he spoke, a dark aura once again bloomed from Luo Chuanfeng's body. He took a step forward and revealed his killing intent.
At the same time, Yin Tiancheng and the others behind him also walked out quickly. All sorts of Wu Ling lights filled the air and enveloped their bodies as they prepared to continue their siege.
"Sovereign king?"
Chu Xingyun's face showed no fear when he felt the other's ferocious killing intent. The corners of his mouth lifted to reveal a mocking smile, "How pitiful to hear these two words from your mouth, Luo Chuanfeng."
"What do you mean by this?" Luo Chuanfeng's footsteps paused, his face full of confusion. Chu Xingyun had called him pitiful?
The smile on Chu Xingyun's face grew even wider as he replied, "If I'm not wrong, Luo Chuanfeng, you must have secretly bribed someone from the army to make it convenient for them to secretly allow Luo Sheng, Shui Qianyue, and the others to leave the Imperial City, right?"
Thump!
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Luo Chuanfeng's heart trembled, and his face suddenly became flustered. He said in a trembling voice, "How do you know this? Tell me, what did you do?"
As he spoke, Luo Chuanfeng's entire body emitted a cold killing intent.
As the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Chuanfeng wasn't a fool. He knew very well that if Luo Sheng stayed in the Imperial City, he would definitely be taken in by Wu Jing Xue in the future and become a weapon of war.
Therefore, Luo Chuanfeng took out a large portion of his family fortune and bribed a general. He wanted Luo Sheng and Shui Qianyue to leave the Imperial City and the Liuyun Dynasty to preserve the Luo Family's bloodline.
He didn't tell anyone about this, and he kept it a secret.
However, at this moment, Chu Xingyun spoke of this matter. This shocked Luo Sheng and gave him an ominous premonition.
"You should ask Wu Jing Xue this question."
Chu Xingyun's voice was indifferent and emotionless. "When I rushed back to the Imperial City, I happened to see Luo Sheng and Shui Qianyue. They were besieged by nearly a hundred soldiers. After a bloody massacre, everyone except Shui Qianyue and Shui Chongxian died."
"Besieged … by nearly a hundred soldiers?" Luo Chuanfeng's face turned ghastly pale. His legs trembled as he sat paralyzed on the ground.
Behind him, among the group of Patriarchs, many of them had their eyes wide open and were panting like cows. Their hearts were trembling madly as if they had heard some grievous news.
It was very obvious that these people had the same idea. They had secretly bribed the soldiers to send their Patriarchs out of the Imperial City.
"Wu Jing Xue had secretly ordered that anyone who left the Imperial City would be killed without mercy, regardless of their identity or status. Your actions have not only wasted your Patriarchs' wealth, but they have also pushed your Patriarchs to the brink of destruction."
"However, in the face of such a cold-blooded and heartless person, you treat him as your king and are even willing to sell your lives for him. You would rather die than attack the Qitian Peak. Don't you find such actions lamentable?"
Chu Xingyun's words were like needles that pierced deeply into the hearts of Luo Chuanfeng and the others. Their pupils abruptly constricted, and they felt like the end of the world had arrived. They almost collapsed on the spot.
"Chu Xingyun, don't you dare try to drive a wedge between us!"
At this moment, Yin Tiancheng suddenly shouted and pointed angrily at Chu Xingyun. He shouted loudly, "Everyone, Chu Xingyun is full of cunning. His words are just to break up our attack. We can't believe them at all."
"My words can't be trusted, but can Wu Jing Xue's words be trusted?" Chu Xingyun retorted with a sneer. "No one can trust the heart of an ambitious and ruthless person. You should know this better than I do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Qitian Peak fell into a deathly silence once again.
Everyone present knew very well that Wu Jing Xue was an ambitious and ruthless person. Not only was he cunning by nature, his methods were even more ruthless. In order to seize power, he did not hesitate to massacre the Imperial City and wipe out his dissidents.
It was not impossible that he had secretly ordered to kill those who had fled.
Rumble!
Just as everyone was silent, a deafening sound was heard.
The void exploded and thousands of lightning bolts fell. Everyone felt as if they had fallen into a boundless lightning prison. They could no longer move, and even their minds were blank.
In the lightning, Lin Tianchong's figure appeared and landed in front of Chu Xingyun. His wrinkled face looked a little weak, and there was blood oozing out of his body.
"I haven't used all my strength in this battle, but you've already lost. You've really disappointed me." At this moment, the lightning was torn apart. Evil Qi fell and circled in the void like a world-destroying evil dragon. Finally, it slowly turned into Wu Jing Xue's body.
Compared to Lin Tianchong, Wu Jing Xue's body did not have any weak aura. His eyes were cold and his expression was arrogant. He was like a demon god who had the power to control life and death, looking down on the world with contempt.
Behind him, the Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon Martial Spirit was circling around. Its purple-black eyes were filled with a gloomy Baleful Qi. Its roars shook the hearts of everyone present.
"Humph!"
Lin Tianchong glared at Wu Jingxue and snorted coldly. Dazzling lightning surged from his body. However, as soon as this lightning appeared, a Sky Piercer Halberd shrouded in thick baleful aura instantly rushed over.
As the halberd struck, the void trembled and a terrifying Evil Qi vortex was formed. It easily destroyed the lightning bolts.
Puff!
Lin Tianchong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes dimmed. Obviously, he was suppressed by the Evil Qi and was heavily injured.
"Even Lin Tianchong has been defeated. What other tricks do you have this time?" Yin Tiancheng stepped forward and taunted loudly. His eyes were cold as he looked at Chu Xingyun. He looked down from above and assumed the posture of a victor.
However, Chu Xingyun ignored Yin Tiancheng. His figure flashed and he supported Lin Tianchong. Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly stood out and walked in front of Wu Jing Xue.
This figure was Luo Chuanfeng.
