The Army Bears Down, Awaiting the Right Moment!
"Brother Zhang is right..."
"Judging by the time, nine hours have passed since we were teleported here..."
"It seems the Daliang region should react by now. Considering the other areas, things are probably already in complete chaos..."
"It won't be long before they surround and annihilate us!"
"Besides, we've already been exposed. If we run towards the border now, we might encounter pursuers. It would be better to do the opposite..."
"Stay put, blend in with the civilians, and wait for the right opportunity!"
Upon hearing this—
Zhang and Huang nodded slightly, agreeing that it made sense...
Furthermore, the situation is unclear, and turning back would be dangerous. For now, we can only wait and see what the Da Zhou's next plan is...
Once their army is on the border, they can stir up chaos once again!
This will tear apart the front lines and gradually encroach upon Zhengyuan Dao District!
If Daliang tightens its defenses, only ceding some territory, and doesn't collapse...
Then prove--
This probe was successful; the opposing Core Formation Ancestor had not perished. Therefore, we only dared to nibble away at their strength, rather than forcing them into a decisive battle...
However, if the enemy collapses without a fight, and their army is routed, and the Core Formation Ancestor has not yet appeared...
That's like a building about to collapse; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
So the next step--
They attacked en masse, launching a war of annihilation and dividing up the Daliang kingdom!
At that time, they can reap the rewards alongside the army, perhaps even occupying a prime piece of land, seizing a base of power, and expanding their influence...
The rest--
Let's see how Daliang responds...
Daliang Jade Tiger Pass, the border of Daliang
"We just received news from the southeast..."
"The Floating Cloud Sword Sect is surrounded. Their Ancestor Liuyun Sect Master, has been tricked and killed. The three opponents are quite powerful and all came prepared..."
"The Floating Cloud Sword Sect has most likely fallen..."
"Once they breach the mountain gate, there's a 70% chance the enemy will flee Ying River and back into the Da Zhou territory."
"It's too late to send reinforcements now..."
"You five, head south and block the road. You must kill those three!"
A burly man sat atop the fortress, his unusual eyes emitting a strange, mysterious light...
Furthermore, they can mobilize troops from thousands of miles away, ordering Imperial Dynasty Cultivator to counterattack and hunt them down!
"As you command!"
Awaiting their reply--
The man's gaze then turned to the other side again!
In that instant, he also established contact with cultivators from other places!
"Southwest direction -- Bamboo Slip Sect!"
"A chaotic battle erupted, with nearly ten Qi Condensation cultivators fighting to the death..."
"You all, hurry and provide reinforcements..."
Meanwhile -- Zhengyuan Dao District -- Zhengyuan Sect!
"Boom!"
Thunder roared from the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down, instantly raising a cloud of dust!
At this moment, four terrifying figures stood in the void!
Every gesture he made exuded a Dao Rhyme; with just a light touch, bolts of lightning would crash down...
In the sky--
Leaving behind a breathtaking view of a thunderous forest!
"This Third-Tier magic array is really tough, like an old turtle. Our Ji Clan's Thunder Method can't even break through this turtle shell!"
"If all else fails..."
"Elder Xia, why don't you try using the Law Treasure passed down from your ancestors?!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to crack this turtle shell today!"
The man surnamed Ji, while urging the thunderous attack formation, joked, showing no awareness of being in a foreign land, quite carefree and at ease...
His unruly nature is hard to believe; he is actually a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator!
Upon hearing this—
The oldest man, Elder Xia, nodded slightly...
With a wave of his hand, a massive bronze cauldron appeared, perched high in the sky, its imposing presence seemingly capable of suppressing all things in the world!
The body of the cauldron is further decorated with nine totems, depicting countless famous mountains and rivers...
There are also scenes of the establishment of an imperial dynasty, and the image of ruling over thousands of tribes...
An unparalleled imperial aura surged forth from the cauldron!
"Go!"
Once the imperial edict was issued--
The bronze cauldron trembled slightly at first, then split into nine identical bronze cauldrons...
Its spiritual power was so immense that it gave the feeling of tearing through space!
The next moment--
The nine tripods fell simultaneously, instantly suppressing the mountains, rivers, and lakes within a radius of thousands of miles...
The earth cracked open, as if a dragon had turned over, and opened its blood-red maw to devour countless plants and creatures, returning them to the embrace of the earth!
Furthermore, towering mountains and famous peaks have collapsed, rivers have surged, and waterways have been diverted elsewhere!
That Third-Tier magic array--
It only held out for a few seconds before instantly shattering and dissipating into nothingness...
"Sigh~"
"I have to admit I'm getting old!"
"I couldn't even withstand the Nine Provinces Cauldron after a few moves, so the rest is up to you young people. Don't mess it up for this old man..."
Alright!
"Elder Xia, please get some rest!"
The man surnamed Ji agreed with a grin, then transformed into thousands of bolts of lightning and crashed to the ground, instantly causing lightning flowers to bloom on the earth!
It was as if Thor had descended to earth, unleashing a raging thunderstorm!
The other two didn't move.
One person stood guard beside Elder Xia, seemingly to protect him from any intruders taking advantage of the situation...
The other person gathered his golden Spiritual Power, silently preparing a killing move, and occasionally observed the desolate mountains and wilderness, as if searching for something!
"Elder Xia, Elder Shang..."
"Whether..."
"It's gone a little too smoothly?"
"Although Zhengyuanzi was tricked by us and severely injured, his lineage, the Zhengyuan Sect, was also captured and destroyed..."
"Hundreds of Qi Condensation cultivators have turned Zheng Yuan upside down!"
Such a sudden turn of events...
"The fact that the Daliang Daliang True Person remain calm and methodically maintain the situation suggests that he may be plotting something."
Upon hearing this—
Elder Xia lightly lifted his fingertips, retracting the nine cauldrons into one, and gazed towards the north...
"This old man doesn't know either..."
"But I can still faintly sense the power of that Golden Core cultivator..."
"He has not weakened; on the contrary, he has become even more steadfast!"
"Furthermore, the Zhengyuan Sect is now just an empty shell; most of the deceased cultivators were elderly and had exhausted their potential..."
"Their true core disciples have probably long since fled."
The situation is unclear at the moment...
"Destroy this place as soon as possible, dispatch a large army to press the border, and then gradually erode the Zhengyuan Dao District. Do not rush..."
"I have a premonition..."
"This Daliang is probably up to no good. Let's not rush things. We'll proceed cautiously and let those foolish barbarians from the Chiyuan State do the work..."
"Using other countries as bait, let's test the true nature of this Daliang Liang..."
Having said that--
The man surnamed Ji worked even harder, and in no time at all, he had completely destroyed the place, burying it underground...
Turning into dust of history--
Yingchuan County -- Muxuan Mountain
"A massive army is pressing in?"
"Is this a complete and utter breakdown in relations with Daliang?"
"I wonder how my father is doing..."
Qin Xiao frowned, but could only suppress his questions...
but--
If a full-scale war breaks out, although the risks are enormous, it is also an fortuitous opportunity, a chance to strengthen the Beichuan Qin Family!
Many years ago--
The father had considered this point, and thus successively cultivated talented generals such as Wang Jian and Wang Li, and even built the Qin Elite Soldiers Army and the Black Dragon Legion!
With such a fierce and powerful army, conquering cities and seizing territories will be a piece of cake!
"Someone come here!"
"Order Wang Jian, Wang Li, and others to mobilize the Qin Elite Soldiers and the Black Dragon Legion to leave Sichuan!"
"Choose a day to launch a counterattack against the Ying River!"
