But at this point, the Immortal Realm Allied Army could not possibly let him escape unscathed so easily. Ye Xingchen and the others were already planning a counterattack to wipe out the invaders.
Just as he was arranging the order in which the Cult Disciples would retreat, the Allied Army gave him no chance and launched a counterattack along the entire front.
The 150,000 elite troops and 170,000 new troops led by Ye Xingchen were the first to counterattack.
The 200,000 troops commanded by Long Zongyuan and Lei Zhenxiao cut off the ** Divine Cult's retreat to the Sea of Oblivion.
Then, apart from the troops left behind and the wounded, the 300,000 defenders of the Lingxi Mountain base, led by Nangong Chaoyang, emerged from the Defensive Formation and launched their counterattack.
Facing an Allied Army twice his force's size, Niu Langchedan had no choice but to order the Cult Disciples into battle. At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to Mochuan Neiku. "Lord Neiku, immediately assemble an elite force of 50,000 Cult Disciples. Do not attack. Remain on standby at all times. Without my orders, you are not to obey anyone's commands. If anyone has a problem, tell him to come to me."
"As you command!" Upon receiving Niu Langchedan's voice transmission, Mochuan Neiku immediately understood his intentions and his own assignment.
He was also delighted that he would not have to risk his life fighting those lowly Allied Army troops.
Having received what amounted to an imperial decree from Niu Langchedan, he secretly gathered all his personal loyalists around him. Then he took the opportunity to transfer Great Luo Golden Immortal and late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal Cult Disciples out of other units to strengthen his own force.
