Lin Bai, Chen Yule, Huang Qingyun, and Yi Song secretly pushed the battle line forward.
The battlefield was utterly chaotic. The warriors of Chu were locked in slaughter with the statues, dust and smoke billowed across the sky, and thunderous booms rang out everywhere.
The Holy Son of the Black Water Clan was wholly focused on controlling the statues' formation and nurturing new statues. He had not noticed Lin Bai and the others' positions at all.
The statues were already exceedingly massive, each standing roughly a hundred zhang tall. With Lin Bai and the others concealed among them, it was easy for their figures to vanish without a trace.
Seeing the warriors of Chu suffer setback after setback on the battlefield, the Holy Son of the Black Water Clan wore an increasingly smug smile. "It seems these warriors of Chu are bound to be wiped out here today."
"Heh heh."
"If I can kill Lin Bai here, my Black Water Clan will have rendered a heaven-shaking service to the Northern Region. When the Fertile Land of the Eastern Region is divided up in the future, we'll have even more say!"
The Black Water Clan was one of the Northern Region's top powers. They had no interest whatsoever in the Eastern Region's ordinary Fertile Land.
What they cared about, without exception, were the true Blessed Lands of the Eastern Region.
For example, the mountain gates of the Heaven and Earth Gate, the Tianshui Sect, and the Danxia Sect... The mountain gates of the Five Great Families and Seven Sects of Chu had all been chosen with exceptional care. Nearly every one occupied a renowned Blessed Land within Chu's territory.
The other ordinary forces of the Northern Region naturally set their sights on the Fertile Land of Chu in the Eastern Region.
