War Erupts Again
"The Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect clearly doesn't intend for Huang Chao to grow too powerful!"
Upon receiving the battle report, Qin Yan couldn't help but smile.
He also knew something about the feud between Huang Chao and the Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect.
After all, Xiahou Jun had really done a terrible job to Huang Chao back then, and Huang Chao took revenge after he became stronger.
The so-called agreement was nothing but empty talk.
When their own interests are involved, they will naturally not hesitate.
Qin Yan looked at the map of Great Li, which showed that he had already acquired two of the thirteen provinces of the world.
Their territory bordered that of the King of Chu!
This guy hasn't been behaving himself lately, amassing nearly 80,000 troops at the border.
It seems they were afraid of a sudden sneak attack!
September!
The Prince Xiang, residing in Jin Province, launched a fierce attack, marching south and destroying Hongwen Emperor's stronghold!
With 200,000 troops, they swept through Haizhou with unstoppable momentum!
Hongwen Emperor's focus has been on the north, and many of the former officials of Canglan Prefecture have been transferred there.
Haizhou was utterly unable to withstand the Prince Xiang's army.
The only one with any real power is the Zheng Family, which has risen to prominence in the last two years and has proclaimed itself the King of Wu!
They seized half of Haizhou!
Both sides deployed their troops at Ya Mountain. The Zheng Family's situation was not good, as they were constantly being suppressed and attacked by the army of Prince Xiang.
If it weren't for the advantageous terrain of Ya Mountain, they would probably have been swept aside by the enemy long ago.
The 110,000-strong army is struggling to hold out, but it will probably only last two or three months at most.
If Fourth Realm expert were to make a move, then there would be no doubt about it!
The current battlefield situation is that, when facing forces of equal strength, the strongest among those possessing Fourth Realm powerhouses are taking action less and less frequently.
Even Huang Chao had to follow this default rule.
Once Fourth Realm expert makes a move, it will be a complete massacre.
They are the pillars of stability for all major powers!
No force could withstand the destruction caused by such a powerful individual!
Those who reach the Third Realm are likely to be the strongest fighters on the battlefield!
"Something's wrong, something's not right!"
Qin Yan's expression changed slightly. The Prince Xiang had his eye on Haizhou, and it was only a matter of time before he conquered it.
However, the Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect has only been hindering Huang Chao so far, and has no intention of starting a war with him.
Therefore, the target he can expand towards is himself!
Although it was just speculation, he didn't want to gamble.
Regardless of winning or losing, he was certain he would suffer a huge loss in the early stages, which was something he absolutely did not want to see.
"Immediately order Han Chen, Han Cui, Jin Shizhong, Guo Hai to lead their troops to deploy defenses at the border of Chu Province!"
At the same time, orders were given to the advance troops to be on high alert for any potential attacks from the Chu Army!
Notify the Red Shadow Army and the Divine Machine Battalion to immediately begin their advance.
Qin Yan gave the order to Qin Xiaoyi in a deep voice!
This filled him with a strong sense of resentment, if the two major immortal sects were already prepared to annex the remaining forces!
He would likely be the first to be affected!
He possesses the combat power of the Fourth Realm, but few people know about it.
Qin Yan felt slightly annoyed. Sometimes, if you hide yourself too well, others might take advantage of you.
Soon, telegrams would reach the hands of the various armies!
The army immediately assembled and marched towards the border of Yun-Chu!
Just as Qin Yan was mobilizing his troops for advance deployment, an uninvited guest quietly arrived in Qinghe Town!
Qin Yan detected the other party's presence when he approached within ten miles.
It's him!
Qin Yan frowned slightly. This person didn't try to hide himself; he was deliberately letting Qin Yan sense him!
A figure flashed!
The next moment he was already standing in front of the other person!
"It's been a long time, fellow Daoist!"
A smile appeared on Heavenly Star Lord's face as he bowed slightly to Qin Yan.
With a wave of his hand, he conjured endless starlight, which transformed into a pavilion on the desolate hills.
"Please!"
Heavenly Star Lord cordially invites you!
Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, then the two sat side by side in the pavilion, facing each other.
What do you want on my turf?
Qin Yan spoke calmly, but his gaze remained fixed on the other person.
"I have come not to provoke you, but to deliver a message!"
Heavenly Star Lord took out a pot of fine wine and filled Qin Yan's wine cup to the brim!
What news could possibly warrant your personal visit?
Qin Yan looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze!
Heavenly Star Lord seemed oblivious, poured himself a glass of wine, took a small sip, and said, "Your guess is correct."
Xiahou Jun of the Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect has set his sights on your Yunzhou and wants to seize it for himself.
You should also understand how many people in Yunzhou are envious.
How did you find out?
"Our Heavenly Heart Dao was founded on deduction, so it's not difficult for us to learn these things."
Heavenly Star Lord smiled calmly, "There is no enmity between us. Although there were some misunderstandings before, that is all in the past!"
I've come to inform you of this matter to establish a positive connection.
After saying this, Heavenly Star Lord's body transformed into starlight and disappeared into the boundless starry sky.
They came suddenly, and they left suddenly.
But at this moment, Qin Yan frowned deeply, if what the other party said was true.
Then a fierce battle is inevitable.
This was also his battle to establish his authority, and his second time fighting against an ancient powerhouse!
Yunchuan Prefecture!
Qin Yan was the first to arrive at this place!
Fifty thousand troops and two Cannon Battalion here!
All soldiers have been equipped with new firearms; this is a battle between ordinary armies.
His army was powerful enough to sweep everything away.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
Inside the Chu Army tent, Xiahou Jun sat imposingly on his throne, surrounded by numerous powerful figures from the Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect!
Besides the older generation of strong individuals, there were also many young faces among them.
These are the rising stars of this era, each with extraordinary talent!
At such a young age, he has already caught up with, and even surpassed, the older generation of strong individuals.
Among them are many young powerhouses at the Grandmaster Realm.
There are even two or three experts who are about to break through to the Third Realm.
"Since joining the sect, we have been diligently cultivating. Now it's time for us to go out and gain some experience."
Follow the Chu Army and conquer Yunzhou!
Those who perform exceptionally well may become my disciples!
I accept your guidance and instruction.
"Your disciple obeys!"
A glint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the group of young masters.
In the immortal sects, Xiahou Jun held an extremely high position, almost like a totem.
To receive guidance from such a powerful expert is something the entire sect dreams of.
Once recognized by the other party, one's status can be described as second only to the emperor, above all others.
The border area between Yunnan and Hubei!
The Chu Army has received orders to attack the Yunzhou Army!
Above the army, a group of cultivators piloted magical artifacts, watching the army advance continuously.
Since switching to the cultivation method!
Their strength has advanced by leaps and bounds; even at the First Realm, they can use magical artifacts to fly through the air.
It gives them a sense of superiority over all living beings.
Moreover, cultivators employ a wide variety of attack methods, forming a systematic set of combat techniques!
Nowadays, the combat power of a cultivator at the first level of cultivation far surpasses that of a Martial Dao expert at the same level.
A very few individuals are even capable of cross-border operations!
Even Qin Yan, who unified Yunqing Two Prefectures, was not taken seriously by them.
"Let's go! Let these mortals know what a true immortal is!"
The group of young prodigies were filled with pride.
Wait until the moment they cross the border!
A massive, sky-covering hand suddenly descended!
No...!
