"At around the hour of the dragon, Prince Xing's Residence fell, and the Sect Leader was captured."
Crack!
Dong Grand Preceptor crushed the Spiritual Light in his hand to powder, then glared lividly toward Tingzhou Prefecture City in the distance.
"What a feint to the east and strike in the west. This old man truly misjudged things. I never expected that, apart from Qiu Yan, there was someone else of such caliber in that army! This time, in order to kill Qiu Yan, we have practically poured out the nest. Yet Prince Xing's Residence had not relaxed its vigilance either. Nearly everyone there had methods at their disposal, with restrictions layered upon restrictions. Let alone breaking in—even if an outsider stepped inside, we would have known at once..."
In Dong Grand Preceptor and the others' plans and understanding, they had long recognized Qiu Yan's terror. Through various channels, they had learned that Qiu Yan's cultivation was extraordinary. The fall of the two armies and two camps before this, whether in strategic arrangements or command of troops, had all been Qiu Yan's doing. Even the people whose hearts had been bewitched along the way breaking free had been connected to Qiu Yan.
Under such circumstances, they naturally understood that the five thousand troops possessed such combat strength not merely because of training. At the end of the day, it was because Qiu Yan was stationed among them.
So long as Qiu Yan was killed, the five thousand invincible soldiers might still possess astonishing strength, but they would never maintain their current level.
Thus, the moment Qiu Yan announced his lectures and Dong Grand Preceptor's side verified the news, they mobilized all their strength to destroy Qiu Yan. They were practically willing to pay any price, even disregarding the safety of Yuezhou
