The Allied Forces Assemble

The Heaven Dou Empire's army camp at Jialing Pass.

"Scouts report that the Spirit Hall Empire is sending large numbers of troops into the city, and... they've even spotted members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Given the support abilities of those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School Soul Master, combined with the Spirit Hall Empire's overwhelming numerical advantage in Soul Master, this battle is going to be incredibly difficult..."

Marshal Ge Long's words poured cold water on everyone present. As natives of the Heaven Dou Empire, they knew better than anyone the power of the Seven Treasure Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the only one among the top Seven Great Sects sects to achieve one of the Upper Three Sects with Auxiliary System Martial Soul.

"Damn it... It's all Yu Tianshuang's fault. If he hadn't been there that day, Master and the others would have been able to capture everyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and this situation wouldn't have happened. Damn it..."

Xue Beng, who has now ascended the throne as the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, is furious when he thinks about this matter. The overall strength of the Heaven Dou Empire was already inferior to that of the Spirit Hall Empire, and the departure of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has only made matters worse.

"Report!!! Your Majesty! Blue Hao King Tang San, Holy Spirit Cult Leader Ye Yuxuan, have arrived with the Star Luo Empire's army to join forces!"

Just as the entire command center fell into a brief silence, a soldier outside the tent shouted into the room.

"Quickly, quickly, invite Blue Hao King and Sect Leader Ye—no, I'll go personally to greet them!"

The arrival of Tang San and Ye Yuxuan was truly like sending charcoal in snowy weather, breaking the deadlock that was currently causing the most troublesome Xue Beng. He was so excited that he was somewhat incoherent.

"Your Majesty! You are the ruler of a nation and the commander of this million-strong army. You must not do this!"

Seeing this, the tall and Wumei Ye Yuxuan rolled her eyes with a captivating charm. This seemingly respectful and affectionate scene between master and disciple made her feel nauseous. This Xue Beng was truly hypocritical, just like his teacher Tang San. No wonder they became master and disciple... Oh right, wasn't Tang San's teacher that talkative "Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang"? It seems they really are a lineage of master and disciple.

"Cult Master Ye! Your arrival is perfectly timed! I am greatly pleased!"

After finishing his sweet talk with Tang San, Xue Beng, his face Xue Beng with excitement, approached Ye Yuxuan. He was so excited, as if he'd seen a savior, that he tried to grasp her hands, but Ye Yuxuan subtly dodged him. Without a hint of embarrassment, he continued, "This battle at Jialing Pass concerns the fate of both nations, and the destiny of all living beings. Quickly, come with me to the camp!"

Although Ye Yuxuan saw Xue Beng as hypocritical, it must be said that his feigned concern was indeed very effective in winning people's hearts. Xue Beng led the two of them from the army toward the commander's tent. Upon reaching the entrance, he spread his hands and loudly announced to the army, "Since the Spirit Hall's rebellion, countless families across the land have suffered from the ravages of war. Now, they even want to turn the continent into a living hell. But I will not allow this, and neither will you. Destroy the Spirit Hall Empire and restore peace to the world!"

The Xue Beng was indeed very infectious, causing the unsuspecting soldiers below to shout along. The scene was spreading like a plague, and even the mindless monsters brought by Ye Yuxuan were imitating them by raising their hands.

"Pope, no, Queen, look over there! That dark, eerie, deathly place—that's where those disgusting monsters of the Holy Spirit Cult dwell!"

Huo Wu stood beside Bibi Dong Dong's carriage, pointing to the dark, lifeless military formation at the forefront of the two empires' allied forces.

Three days later, at Jialing Pass, the combined armies of the Heaven Dou Star Luo Empire Kingdoms arrived as scheduled. The various legions marched in orderly formations and set up battle arrays before Jialing Pass. The number of troops on the Spirit Hall Empire's side was far too small compared to the nearly two million troops of the two great empires. All the Soul Master and soldiers combined numbered only about two hundred thousand. In particular, the inhuman and terrifying monsters at the forefront of the enemy were indeed somewhat frightening.

"The Holy Spirit Cult... a rat that once plagued the continent, yet in just over a century, it has managed to appear so openly before the world. It's truly ironic!"

Bibi Dong sat on the Empress's palanquin, her long, shapely legs crossed, her delicate hand supporting her chin, still maintaining that languid demeanor. The Spirit Hall Empire should have the upper hand against these monsters from the Holy Spirit Cult, but infuriatingly, she had no authority to mobilize the Angel Legion. That damned Qian Daoliu, even in death, still had to annoy her...

After the two armies took their positions, the allied forces and the Spirit Hall Empire held a symbolic standoff for a while. Tang San then nodded slightly to Ye Yuxuan beside him. Ye Yuxuan, with her curvaceous figure and captivating charm, pointed a delicate hand towards the Spirit Hall Empire. The deathly monsters at the forefront of the allied forces, like a wound-up toy, charged towards the Spirit Hall Empire amidst billowing dust.

"The tactical intent is so obvious; they just want those monsters to wear us down. It's utterly unoriginal and boring... Seven Great Sects Legion, listen to my command! Charge! Wipe out those monsters!!!"

At the forefront, the Elephant Armor Sect Master, who had long been eager to prove his status through this war, laughed loudly and shouted, "Elephant Armor Legion, obeying the order!!!"

The legions of the Seven Great Sects were stationed on the border of the Star Luo Empire and had experienced fighting these monsters, so they were not as fearful as other legions. This was the main reason why Bibi Dong made the people of the Seven Great Sects the vanguard.

"Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder, Tang San. How much of my Spirit Hall Empire's strength do you think these cannon fodder can deplete? You know absolutely nothing about the battle formations of the Soul Master Legion!!!"

Neither the Death Kui nor the gigantic Mammon posed any real threat to the Seven Great Sects in their first clash, a sight that brought a smile to Bibi Dong's face.

"Teacher... the Holy Spirit Cult Cult's... soldiers didn't deplete the Spirit Hall Empire's strength as much as expected. I never imagined Bibi Dong would send the Seven Great Sects ' Soul Master legions to charge from the very beginning; she's truly cunning!!!"

According to the battle plan they finalized yesterday, they intended for the Holy Spirit Cult's fearless warriors Death Kui and Mammon, to be the first to charge into battle, thereby weakening the already outnumbered Spirit Hall Empire soldiers. However, they never expected that Bibi Dong would be so ruthless, directly sending out her elite legion composed entirely of Soul Master.

"It doesn't matter... those cannon fodder are insignificant anyway. As long as they can deplete the Spirit Hall Empire's strength a little, that's enough. Besides, the number of Soul Master legions from the Seven Great Sects is only so small. If they all die, the Spirit Hall Empire is finished!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Xue Beng felt slightly relieved, but Ye Yuxuan beside him said disdainfully, "Although these Death Kui and Mammon of my Holy Spirit Cult are all cannon fodder, when facing the battle formation formed by the Soul Master Legion, especially the Elephant Armor Sect at the forefront, don't expect those monsters who have no intelligence, don't know how to cooperate, and only know how to kill to be of much use."

And... who knows who might become cannon fodder in the end... hehe...
