Fire Tree Daoist was stationed in Bright Jade City, a city in another direction of the Primordial Great Sect.
With him holding the city, it stood as firm as a rock; given his strength, it was nearly impossible to breach.
The one attacking him was Blood Demon True Person, a cultivator who had spread the Dao to three hundred million living beings in the Infinite Kingdoms.
Their Great Daos collided above Bright Jade City. Fire Tree Daoist was on the defensive, while Blood Demon True Person held the absolute upper hand.
Fire Tree Daoist's ally, Divine Pill Patriarch, was in a node city not far behind him and had not yet encountered an attack from the Infinite Kingdoms.
His mission this time was to allow Blood Demon True Person to break into the city, then call for help from Divine Pill Patriarch at the critical moment.
Bound by their alliance, the other party would come. Divine Pill Patriarch had long possessed a spare Formation Banner, one prepared over ten thousand years ago.
So long as he came, they could reestablish the national formation, trap Blood Demon True Person within it, and grind him into extinction together, thus earning great merit.
The same scheme was being used on Wood Spirit Daoist's side.
In this setup, the Infinite Kingdoms would lose at least two powerhouses who had completed spreading the Dao, and the Primordial Great Sect would likewise lose at least two, creating the illusion of an exchange of pieces.
Blood Demon True Person received an order from Li Qing's projection to activate the chess piece he had buried long ago and move toward the location of the Formation Banner within the city.
They used this sort of tactic often, but its success rate was basically only one percent.
