"Reporting … Young Marshal, a large number of Zhou Tian Righteous Gods are charging at us!"
"Reporting … Young Marshal, the charging enemy troops are unstoppable. The Second Personal Guard Battalion that went to stop them suffered heavy casualties. Commander Yu of the Personal Guard Battalion was injured and retreated in defeat!"
"Reporting … Young Marshal, the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven in the Wood Sprite Realm has sent troops to support the charging enemy troops. The First Personal Guard Battalion has already gone to support them!" The military reports came one after another, making the Young Marshal frown tightly.
When the third military report rang out, the young marshal's brows suddenly smoothed out. "Pass down my order. Let them in!"
The moment the Young Marshal in a scarlet cloak gave the order, the staff present to distribute the military orders flew out of their hands like flying jade talismans. Special Fu Ling flew out quickly without any hesitation. It was enough to show the prestige of the Young Marshal.
After the military order was given, the Young Marshal seemed to think of something and suddenly said, "Order Yuan Chengqi to check if the large number of Zhou Tian Righteous Gods charging at us are the Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who besieged him!" The moment he gave the order, the Young Marshal murmured softly, "If that's the case, I'm relieved …"
When the military reports came one after another from the military tent hidden in the dense forest, Ling Dong's expression became extremely solemn. The speed of the charging enemy troops besieging the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven in the Wood Sprite Realm slowed down extremely quickly. They had encountered extremely tenacious resistance.
Except for the initial battle, when Ling Dong and six half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods were unstoppable. However, when a Wu Army of about a thousand people led by a Zhou Tianshen emissary rushed up, Ling Dong and the others immediately felt incomparable pressure.
The orderly battle formation, the unified advance and retreat, especially the Wu Army, which had set up an immortal formation, directly entangled the three Zhou Tianshen emissaries on Ling Dong's side. While they could not get away, they had to deal with them carefully.
Fortunately, Bai Bai Xuan displayed his might and used the Five Elemental Heavenly Fire Talisman to severely injure a group of Wu soldiers who were in formation. At the same time, Wu Sheng, Old Mi, and the other two Emissaries of Zhou Tianshen joined forces to severely injure the commander of this group of Wu soldiers, who was the Emissary of Zhou Tianshen. Only then did the enemy fall into chaos and continue to attack the Residence of the Celestial Monarch of Wood Puppet Realm.
However, the enemy's reaction speed was extremely fast. Just as the first group of soldiers was thrown into disarray by Ling Dong and his men, another group of a thousand soldiers charged towards Ling Dong and his men with a murderous aura.
Even though Shi Fangyuan, the head of the True Gang Sect, had sent out a talisman message for the Residence of Constellation Celestial Lord of the Wood Hulk Boundary to receive them, and the Residence of Constellation Celestial Lord of the Wood Hulk Boundary immediately roared with battle cries.
What made Ling Dong even more terrified was that wherever the Martial Army passed, the other martial artists besieging the Residence of the Celestial Lord of the Wood Hulk Boundary would immediately make way for them. This discovery cast a shadow over Ling Dong's heart.
As long as this military force blocked in front of them and gave the first group of people who were messed up by them a chance to catch their breath, Ling Dong and his group would be heavily surrounded and would have to fight to the death.
At this moment, Ling Dong began to consider if he should expose more Zhou Tianshen emissaries and successfully attack the Residence of the Celestial Monarch of Wood Puppet Realm.
However, this decision was very risky! Especially before he met the Vermillion Bird Ancestor. If something went wrong, Ling Dong would be treated as an enemy by the Vermillion Bird Star System and might even be attacked from both sides.
At this moment, Ling Dong finally realized how powerful the Wu Army of a star system was. Ling Dong believed that the Wu Army attacking the Residence of the Celestial Monarch of Wood Puppet Realm was not all of the Golden Soaring Star System's forces. Perhaps not even half of them were present.
However, just this was enough to give Ling Dong so much pressure.
"Senior Brother, how are you?" Ling Dong casually sent out a Starlight Imperial Palm and asked the pale Bai Bai Xuan. Just now, Bai Bai Xuan had used the Five Element Heavenly Flame, which had greatly damaged his soul.
"I'm fine. However, I won't be able to use a low-quality heavenly talisman like the Five Element Heavenly Flame for a while!" Bai Bai Xuan replied in a low voice. The Burning Spirit Sword Finger was like flowing water as he sent out a Two Realm Talisman Chop toward the Wu Army.
Unfortunately, the Burning Spirit Sword Finger Chop wasn't able to instantly kill the Wu Army like before. The Wu Army that had formed the Immortal Soldier Formation flashed brightly and firmly blocked Bai Bai Xuan's Two Realm Talisman Chop.
This was the brilliance of the Immortal Soldier Formation. As long as it was formed and operated, it could be controlled by a powerful commander. Although it wasn't possible to gather the power of hundreds of Wu Army to attack and defend, if the control was right, it could multiply the defense of one point.
Just now, it was the commander of the Immortal Soldier Formation that had gathered everyone's power to block Bai Bai Xuan's attack.
"Junior Brother, this is a bit troublesome. Should we use them? As long as they come out, I guarantee that this Immortal Soldier Formation will immediately be broken! "
Bai Bai Xuan suggested. In the end, he added, "After training them for so many years, it's time to let them see the world and let the world see the glory of our ancient symbol cultivator lineage!" As he spoke, a trace of excitement appeared on Bai Bai Xuan's face.
Ling Dong's expression changed and he nodded. "That's the only way!" As he spoke, Ling Dong's Divine Sense moved and covered the dozens of cultivators who were already waiting in the Myriad Stars House.
But at this moment, Wu Zhengyang, who had been protecting Ling Dong, exclaimed softly, "Huh? Why did they retreat? "
Ling Dong's Divine Sense immediately stopped. He saw that the Wu army of about a thousand people who had rushed over to stop them had begun to retreat in an orderly manner. Even the Wu army on Ling Dong's side that had been previously defeated by Ling Dong and the others and had now regrouped, also began to retreat in an orderly manner under the cover of their allies!
What surprised Ling Dong and the others even more was that as these two troops slowly retreated, the other Wu army that had previously besieged the Residence of the Celestial Lord of the Wood Spirit Boundary also began to retreat like a tide. As they retreated, they silently covered the corpses that had fallen to the ground and the comrades who had escaped from the Star Soul Realm.
Seeing this scene, Ling Dong couldn't help but rub his eyes and say in surprise, "They retreated, they actually retreated?"
"Yes, they actually retreated. Is it because of us?" Shi Fangyuan, the Sect Master of the True Dipper Sect, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, as if he had just survived a disaster.
In just a short hour of battle, four of the True Dipper Sect's Celestial Lords had already fallen, and this was the result of Ling Dong's side being protected by the half-step Zhou Tian Divine Turtle Qian Shan, who had astonishing defensive power. Otherwise, the Cloud Piercing Ship that carried the hope of the True Dipper Sect would have been destroyed.
"Old Wu, how are your injuries?" Seeing that the enemy had begun to retreat like a tide, Ling Dong looked at the large part of Wu Zhengyang's chest that had caved in and asked with concern.
This was the injury caused by Wu Zhengyang taking three consecutive hits from the Wu army that had set up an Immortal Weapon Formation. This meant that Wu Zhengyang's cultivation was already at the level of a Zhou Tian Divine Envoy. If he were a half-step Zhou Tian Divine Envoy, he probably would have lost half his life after three hits from the Wu army.
Wu Zhengyang puffed out his chest slightly and frowned slightly, but said at the same time, "It's fine, I can still hold on!"
In the previous hour of battle, although not everyone on Ling Dong's side was injured like Wu Zhengyang, they had all expended a lot of energy. Ling Dong's Wu army that had set up the Five Elements Aurora Killing Formation led by Bai Han back then could instantly kill a half-step Zhou Tian Divine Envoy.
Now, Ling Dong could be said to have tasted the power of the Immortal Weapon Formation.
Due to the enemy's sudden retreat, after a short moment of silence in front of the Celestial Lord's Residence, which was littered with corpses, suddenly erupted into sky-high cheers.
The cheers were filled with endless exhaustion, but there was also a hint of relief and ecstasy. Clearly, they were pleasantly surprised by the enemy's sudden retreat.
However, out of caution, the Residence of Celestial Lord of Heavenly Wood Realm did not withdraw its defenses immediately. Instead, it waited until the tens of thousands of enemies had retreated to a distance of several tens of miles away before it quickly opened up a gap in its defenses. Then, a huge seal that was rotating above the Residence of Celestial Lord of Heavenly Wood Realm suddenly descended and welcomed Ling Dong and the others in.
"Sect Leader Shi, you came at the right time. You've solved my hanging danger … Eh?" Di Nankun walked towards Ling Dong's group, who were surrounded by the Wood Puppet Realm's army. When he got closer, Di Nankun's expression suddenly froze.
First, it froze on Ling Dong's face. Then, it froze on the six Zhou Tian Divine Envoys behind Ling Dong. His expression was filled with confusion.
"Ling Dong … Ling Dong … How did you get here? When did you get here?! " After a moment of shock, Di Nankun walked past Ling Dong and patted Ling Dong's shoulder. Then, he respectfully greeted Bai Bai Xuan, Gui Qianshan, and the others.
"Greetings, Seniors. Di Nankun of the Celestial Lord's World of Wood. Di Nankun would like to thank all of you for your help!" Di Nankun's cultivation was only at the early stage of Zhou Tianshen Envoy. Ling Dong felt that he should have just broken through to Zhou Tianshen Envoy. His aura was even weaker than that of Old Mi and the others.
Seeing that Ling Dong and Di Nankun seemed to be very close, the others didn't dare to put on airs. After greeting them, they stepped aside.
"Ha, I thought that Sect Leader Shi might have contacted a few sects and gathered here. I didn't expect that it would be all of you who came to help!" Di Nankun was very happy and even excited.
They had been besieged by the enemy for three days, and only he knew the pressure. Ling Dong could also see some of it.
Looking around, the fortress-like residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven of the Wood Hulk Realm was littered with corpses. With a cursory glance, there were thousands of corpses in Ling Dong's line of sight, and countless wounded. Everywhere, there were soldiers of the Wood Hulk Realm meditating and recuperating.
"Seniors, please. Now that the enemy has temporarily retreated, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you seniors for your assistance. I have already arranged for the All-heaven Starfield's Hundred Treasures Banquet to celebrate. Seniors, please!" Due to some unwritten rules, Di Nankun could only ignore Ling Dong, who was one of his own. He tried his best to win over these six Zhou Tianshen Emissaries who had come to his rescue.
There was no telling when the enemy forces besieging the Wood Hulk Realm would come. Di Nankun had left these six powerful Zhou Tianshen Emissaries in the Wood Hulk Realm. That was why this scene had occurred.
However, to Di Nankun's surprise, despite his warm invitation, none of these Zhou Tianshen Emissaries stepped forward. Instead, they all retreated to Ling Dong's side.
Just as Di Nankun bowed slightly again and was about to invite these Zhou Tianshen Emissaries into the banquet, one of the Zhou Tianshen Emissaries, whom he did not recognize, actually bowed slightly to Ling Dong and said, "Young master, please!"
Di Nankun was immediately stunned!
