Jian Wushuang gradually understood everything, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He didn’t hide anything and directly revealed the true intentions of Emperor Tang, Li Miao.
It wasn’t just about comforting Chen Yuan; it was about making them understand that the entire city filled with vengeful spirits was for the sake of the empress alone.
Jian Wushuang didn’t believe that Li Miao went to such great lengths simply to resurrect the empress. The empress, if revived, must have a greater purpose, which made him spare no effort to bring her back.
Everyone was shocked by his speculation!
“What a ruthless mind, what cruel methods!” Yang Xiao’s face showed fear.
This was the first time he was truly scared!
Even more so than when he was being hunted by nine late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
Xiang Yang couldn’t help but frown, trembling as he spoke, “To calculate everything so precisely, even predicting that Chen Yuan would appear in Mangshan County—this might not just be the emperor’s doing, right?”
“Your Tang Empire’s emperors, none of them are good people!” Qianzu Saintess didn’t miss the chance to mock.
She usually didn’t care much about the internal affairs of the Tang Empire, but after hearing such a terrifying scheme, she couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.
Jian Wushuang remained calm. To him, it was merely a method to grow stronger.
In the mundane world, such tactics were considered brilliant, a normal approach for a skilled strategist.
In terms of advanced methods, he had seen far too many to be surprised, only curious about what made the empress so special.
Could it be that she could help someone ascend?
In the Crimson Eyes Realm, that might be the only thing that could fascinate people so much!
“News just came in from Zhanxian Tower—something major has happened in Tai’an City, the Tang Emperor has been deposed!!!!”
Yang Xiao received the internal news from the Zhanxian Guard and exclaimed in shock.
But this matter was no longer important.
Whether deposed or not, the other side was still a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Moreover, there were powerful figures with great abilities behind him, assisting with the planning and schemes.
“Has Wei Jiuxian arrived as well?”
Yang Xiao nodded, saying, “The Grand Commander personally led the army and has already reached Mangshan County; they are not far from the county city!”
“Tell him not to send mortals to their deaths. He should come alone!” Jian Wushuang warned.
Wei Jiuxian certainly knew more, and Jian Wushuang wanted to gather some information from him.
“No, the Grand Commander will not come to the County City!” Yang Xiao shook his head and sighed. “The Grand Commander is leading the army, most likely to intimidate the Barbarian Lands and the cultivators of the Southern Sky Realm!”
“Is he really not interested in this place at all?” Xiang Yang asked in surprise.
Yang Xiao nodded. “Yes, the Grand Commander is concerned with the welfare of the world. He has no interest in ascension, which is also why the Tang Emperor targets him!”
“What a pity!” Jian Wushuang sighed slightly.
Insignificant characters didn’t matter whether they came or not.
For now, finding the altar was the most pressing matter.
While they were conversing, the second wave of forces from the three factions entered the County City.
The first group had almost all perished, encountering a Ghost Commander within less than a hundred feet of the city. Unfortunately, it was a mid-stage Ghost Commander, which spelled bad luck for them.
They leisurely stood on the city walls, watching the battle.
The rest were not so fortunate.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the second wave were dumbfounded by the scene before them as soon as they entered the city.
Even Wang Lan was no exception.
Penetrating deep into the County City seemed impossible unless all three factions entered together, paving a path of blood. Otherwise, relying solely on individual strength would only allow those at the Divine Aspect level to move freely in and out.
“Retreat!”
Wang Lan had no intention of delving deeper. As for the cultivators of the first wave, he couldn’t be bothered with them. Since they weren’t from his sect, he turned around and left.
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators shared the same sentiment. Staying would serve no purpose and could lead to being dragged down by the powerful ghost cultivators.
They immediately withdrew from the County City.
They also called back the third wave, as sending them in would only mean certain death.
They had gathered some information about the situation inside Mangshan County City.
Fifty miles away, in a massive ancient fortress, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the three major alliances had gathered, along with a few Golden Core cultivators.
“Is the entire County City filled with ghost cultivators?”
Upon hearing this news, everyone’s first reaction was disbelief.
They hadn’t sensed anything from outside the city, which explained why the first wave had been so silent.
It must have been a barrier that blocked everything.
“This is going to be difficult. A city full of ghost cultivators, with quite a few at the Nascent Soul level. If we risk entering, the losses will be incalculable!”
The first to feel the headache was Miao Renfeng. His forces from the Barbarian Lands were numerous, and most of the powerful cultivators had gathered outside Mangshan County City. Even in the Southern Sky Realm, many innate experts were outside Mangshan County.
If a siege occurred, they would be at a disadvantage.
“Ghost cultivators?” He muttered to himself and quickly came up with an idea. He immediately suggested, “Since they’re ghost cultivators, ordinary innate warriors won’t be of any use. I suggest gathering all cultivators above the Golden Core stage to storm the city. We may not be able to kill all the ghost cultivators, but at least we can find the main hall of the Chiyang Sect. Once we kill the key figures, the remaining ghost cultivators can be dealt with at our leisure.”
He had grasped the essence of Hua Xuejian’s plan, speaking without leaving any loopholes.
Hua Xuejian wasn’t upset that his idea had been taken. Instead, he smiled and said, “Chief Miao’s suggestion is excellent. The most important thing now is to find the main hall of the Demon Sect so we can eliminate them in one fell swoop. Since they are ghost cultivators, only Golden Core stage cultivators and above can deal with them. I support this proposal!”
With two of them in agreement, it was down to Zhang Xiansheng.
He had no reason to refuse.
Charging in together was the best option, saving them from internal strife.
“I agree as well!”
With all three in accord, the message was spread.
An incense stick later, all the strong cultivators gathered to storm the city together!
The call: Eliminate demons and protect the Dao!
The barbarian war horns sounded, signaling the charge. Over a thousand Golden Core cultivators gathered in three groups, advancing in unison.
Such a vast force of cultivators was the last remnant of ancient glory.
Dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators also gathered.
Over a thousand Golden Core cultivators moved together toward Mangshan County City.
As they entered, another horn echoed.
Wei Jiuxian had arrived!
He led his thousand-strong army into battle.
Besides Wei Jiuxian, Chang Feng led another army to the coastal Southern Sky County.
With the powerful cultivators on both sides absent, it was a slaughter feast.
Blood stained the ground red.
Although the warriors of the Barbarian Lands were brave and skilled in battle, they couldn’t withstand the precision strikes of the Zhanxian Guards.
Any innate warrior with significant strength was instantly killed.
The rest were trampled by the overwhelming tide of the army.
