"Retreat! All of you retreat! Retreat immediately!" Silver-haired Bai Han roared hatefully at the cultivators below him as he looked at the circle of light that was rapidly approaching like the sun in the distance.
He also blasted out a Yin Spirit Luo Light at the same time, constantly interfering with Ling Dong to reduce the casualties on his side.
However, Silver-haired Bai Han's roar was one thing, but the two sides were in a stalemate. At this point in the battle, they were like white rice and golden millet rolling together. How could they split up so easily?
There were even some cultivators whose eyes had turned red from the killing and didn't listen to Silver-haired Bai Han's words at all. Moreover, what was the situation between the cultivators on both sides? They were mortal enemies!
The cultivators on Silver-haired Bai Han's side wanted to retreat, but the cultivators on the Tenmu Temple's side were unwilling to let them go. As for the cultivators on Silver-haired Bai Han's side, some immediately retreated because of Bai Han's order, while others were looking for an opportunity to retreat. In short, they had lost more than half of their fighting spirit, and their casualties immediately increased greatly.
Bai Han was so angry that his Astral Soul, which had already lost his physical body, started to tremble. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen someone as terrifying as Ling Dong.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator could cultivate their Divine Soul and cultivation, and also cultivate their physical body. However, the physical body was always a minor detail.
However, Ling Dong was a freak among freaks. Putting aside his terrifying Divine Soul cultivation, his physical body cultivation was abnormal to the extreme. He had taken a few kicks from a Fourth Order Star Monarch like him, but it was as if nothing had happened.
What made Bai Han most angry was that he felt that Ling Dong was too sinister.
He had such terrifying Divine Soul cultivation and physical body cultivation, but his cultivation was only at the Second Order of the Constellation Realm. Even the legendary "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger" would not be so ruthless.
"Ling Dong, the Taihō Palace is attacking. If you don't want to be completely wiped out, immediately give the order to retreat!" Bai Han, who had calmed down from his anger, said anxiously as he looked at the approaching light of the sun. There were at least six to seven hundred people in the formation.
Ling Dong rolled his eyes at Bai Han. "F * ck you, who do you think you are? Retreat? So what if the Taihō Palace came? Tell me who sent you, and I'll retreat immediately! "
Ling Dong's last sentence made Bai Han so angry that he rolled his eyes again. Bai Han didn't expect the Ling family to be so difficult to deal with. They were still thinking about this at this juncture.
Bai Han was so angry that he laughed, "Hmph, who do you think I, Bai Han, am? Hmph, all of you retreat. Whoever doesn't allow you to retreat, immediately self-detonate. Let's see who dares to stop you! "
As soon as Bai Han said this, Ling Dong's expression changed. Ling Dong wasn't shocked by Bai Han's order, but by the cultivators that Bai Han had brought. The moment Bai Han gave the order, three or four cultivators who couldn't retreat, covered one of them with killing intent and were about to self-detonate their Astral Souls.
A mysterious light shot out from his forehead, instantly killing the cultivator who was about to self-detonate. Ling Dong waved his hand lightly and shouted, "Retreat!"
Ling Dong originally wanted to force the silver-haired Bai Han to reveal who the mastermind was, but he didn't expect that the silver-haired Bai Han would be so unyielding. Moreover, among the group of cultivators under him, his orders were strictly followed. With a single command to self-detonate, there would immediately be people who didn't fear death and self-detonate their Astral Souls. That was equivalent to having their Divine Souls destroyed.
"Hmph!" Seeing Ling Dong retreat helplessly, Silver-haired Bai Han snorted coldly. From the start of the battle until now, he finally found a bit of confidence. This insignificant victory slightly diluted the gloominess of being beaten up by Ling Dong from the start.
"Ling Dong, I, Bai Han, will remember today's generous gift. The sky is high and the water is long. There will definitely be another day …" As he spoke, Silver-haired Bai Han cautiously looked back at the cultivators from the Taihō Palace who were rushing over. At this moment, as they were getting closer, they could almost see the situation of the cultivators from the Taihō Palace who were rushing over.
The moment he turned his head, Silver-haired Bai Han's weak face was suddenly shocked. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. The few words he was about to say "affectionately" suddenly stopped, and he cried out in shock, "F * ck, what's going on? Why is that old pervert here too …"
Before he could finish speaking, Silver-haired Bai Han waved his hand and led more than 300 of his subordinates to rush north like a whirlwind. His expression was extremely anxious. He didn't even care about the nearly 100 corpses left behind in the battle just now.
For some reason, Ling Dong's heart sank when he saw Silver-haired Bai Han's expression. Looking at the troops from the Taihō Palace in the distance, who were shining with golden light like the sun, Ling Dong's expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Ji, send a message to the Yuanzhou branch. The people from Liaozhou's Sea-flipping Tower who claim to be Silver-haired Bai Han have already fled from Xilou City. However, the people from Changzhou's Taihō Palace have suddenly arrived at Xilou City. Their intentions are unclear, and they have more than 500 cultivators!" As he spoke, Ling Dong sized up his own troops.
Although the high-end forces from the Yangkou branch hall had the upper hand in the last 15 minutes of fighting, the two hundred-man squads had still lost nearly one-fifth of their forces!
In terms of numbers, the forces from the Tenmu Temple's Yangkou branch hall were no match for the Taihō Palace's forces. However, as far as Ling Dong knew, the Taihō Palace and the Tenmu Temple had always been allies. Although Xilou City had a large population and a considerable amount of mineral resources, it wasn't attractive to the Taihō Palace, who had jurisdiction over the four major provinces.
Starting a war with the Tenmu Temple for Xilou City and making a strong enemy out of nothing was an extremely unprofitable business. Ling Dong thought about it from left to right. He also felt that the Taihō Palace's troops weren't here to attack or seize Xilou City.
In Ling Dong's words, even if the higher-ups of the Taihō Palace had been kicked in the head by a donkey, they still wouldn't make such a decision that would harm others and bring them trouble.
"Hall Master, the message talisman has been sent out. Also, I know the person in the middle of the Taihō Palace. He's Ying Cong, the long-reclusive elder of the Taihō Palace's Ying Family, who is in charge of Liao Province. He hasn't been involved in worldly affairs for many years. I don't know why he's come personally today. Regarding the news of Ying Cong's appearance, this old man has already sent a message to the Yuanzhou sub-region. "Ji Yuanbai replied in an unprecedentedly respectful manner.
Ji Yuanbai's eyesight wasn't bad. Putting aside his eyesight, the silver-haired, poisonous Bai Han of the Sea-overturning Building was extremely famous. Although he was only a Fourth Level Celestial Monarch, ordinary peak Celestial Monarchs didn't dare to provoke Bai Han.
As for ordinary Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Level Celestial Monarchs, they could only avoid the silver-haired, poisonous Bai Han as long as they knew his name. They were afraid that they would be too slow.
However, this Palace Master Ling, who was only a Second Level Celestial Monarch, had actually killed the silver-haired, poisonous Bai Han's physical body. Furthermore, the silver-haired, poisonous Bai Han was terrified of Ling Dong. How capable was he?
It was only now that Ji Yuanbai understood Cheng Dongyuan's advice to him before he left. Cheng Dongyuan had told him not to put on airs, follow Ling Dong's orders, and act according to Ling Dong's orders.
This wasn't Cheng Dongyuan using his influence to pave the way for the young patriarch of the Ling family and the new acting hall master of the Yangkou branch hall, Ling Dong. Instead, it was a practical reminder to Ji Yuanbai. It was completely for Ji Yuanbai's own good.
"The Taihō Palace is in charge of the Liaozhou branch of the Ying Family. Why did they rush to Xilou City with such a murderous aura?" Ling Dong frowned as he listened to Ji Yuanbai's narration.
"Ji, prepare the distress signal talisman. If the Taihō Palace's men act strangely, immediately send a distress signal to the Yuanzhou branch hall!" Ling Dong instructed.
There was nothing he could do about this. Before the Taihō Palace made any substantial moves, Ling Dong could only make such preparations. After all, the Taihō Palace and the Tenmu Temple were allies. If Ling Dong sent a distress signal just because the situation was tense and caused a misunderstanding between the two families, Ling Dong would probably be in big trouble.
Qin Zhiguo and Chang Centurion, who were waiting at the side, watched in horror as the silver-haired, vicious Bai Han fled like a stray dog. Then, they snuck a glance at Ling Dong. Their eyes were filled with panic.
Even at this moment, Qin Zhiguo was secretly relieved. Ling Dong's true strength was actually so terrifying. Fortunately, that day …
"Chang Centurion, you stay here and prepare for battle. Qin Centurion, Ji, come with me to welcome them!" As the Taihō Palace's men drew closer and closer, Ling Dong narrowed his eyes and gave the order. Then, he soared into the sky to meet the Taihō Palace's men.
The Zhan Brothers and Ji Yuanbai immediately followed. Qin Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind Ling Dong.
As they soared into the sky and met the Taihō Palace's men, Ling Dong said in a clear voice, "I wonder which honored guests from the Taihō Palace have come to Xilou City? The Hall Master of the Tenmu Temple's Yangkou branch hall, Ling Dong, greets all of you."
To Ling Dong's surprise, the moment Ling Dong soared into the sky, the Taihō Palace's men began to slow down. This discovery made Ling Dong's heart sink again. The Taihō Palace's men really came for Xilou City.
The Taihō Palace's men were riding a strange round flying boat. The flying boat emitted a dazzling golden light, and from a distance, it looked like the sun.
At this time, seeing that there were people blocking their way, the Taihō Palace's men also flew out of the Great Sun Flying Boat. There were a few people in the middle, and the Ying Family's reclusive elder, Ying Cong, was also among them. They rushed towards Ling Dong's group.
"Oh, the Tenmu Temple's Yangkou branch hall has a new Hall Master? I am Ying Xiangrong, the Deputy Hall Master of the Taihō Palace's Changzhou Branch Hall. I didn't expect to meet your Yangkou branch hall's Hall Master here. Fortunately, we've avoided a lot of trouble! "While speaking, a middle-aged martial artist flew out from beside Ying Cong, and Ling Dong said in a loud and clear voice.
Halfway through his words, a wave of Spiritual Energy swept over Ling Dong's body. Ying Xiangrong frowned slightly, and his gaze towards Ling Dong was already somewhat disdainful.
"Oh, it's Deputy Hall Master Ying. I wonder what made Deputy Hall Master Ying personally lead a large group of men into Xilou City? Is there anything you need Ling to do on your behalf? " Ling Dong's words were very measured, and vaguely pointed out the ownership of Xilou City's territory. He also pointed out that if they really wanted to do something big in their territory, they would have to go through him first.
"I have come here for an important matter, but I don't need Palace Master Ling's help." Ying Xiangrong's face showed a trace of impatience. "Palace Master Ling, please go back. From now on, Xilou City will be taken over by the Taihō Palace."
After he finished speaking, Ying Xiangrong didn't care about Ling Dong's extremely unsightly expression, nor did he care about whether Ling Dong agreed or not. Instead, he instructed the people behind him. "Quickly set up a Sealing Detection Formation in Xilou City. Interrogate and question all the people that pass by. If there's anything suspicious, immediately report back with a command token!"
This kind of disregard made Ling Dong's face instantly turn ashen.
