413: One person is enough to go out of the city to meet the enemy

First Princes Residence.

Yan Junlin was savoring fine wine, and he slowly said, “The latest news is that Xie Weilou has already gone to Northern Border City.”

Yan Qingcheng said indifferently, “This is an excellent opportunity, aren’t you planning to act?”

Yan Junlin shook his head, “You said before that the Demon Clan Army’s southward march was the Elders’ decision, and you couldn’t interfere. Since that’s the case, if Xie Weilou goes to the Northern Border, then I won’t interfere either. I can’t see through him, so I can’t fall out with him for now!”

That Xie Weilou fellow is unfathomable. He has been hiding for so long; no one knows how strong his true power is.

He naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to be the first to act. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not confront Xie Weilou directly.

“As you wish!”

Yan Qingcheng frowned slightly but didn't say much more.

Since Xie Weilou had gone to the Northern Border, she would naturally send the news back to the Demon Clan, allowing the Elders to prepare.

Otherwise, those Demon Clan soldiers wouldn't be able to stop Xie Weilou, who could slay a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.

Yan Junlin put down his wine glass, stood up, walked to the window, and smiled faintly, “I wonder what kind of combat power Xie Weilou will display this time. It makes me somewhat look forward to it.”

——————

Half a day later.

The ancient warship traversed sixty thousand li, arriving outside Northern Border City. On the City wall, the soldiers, clad in heavy armor and wielding long spears, had extremely grave expressions.

“It’s the Holy Courtyard’s warship! The Holy Courtyard’s new round of reinforcements has arrived.”

When the soldiers saw the ancient warship, their faces lit up with joy, and they quickly took out jade talismans to transmit messages.

The people on the ancient warship flew down. Situ Jin put away the ancient warship and said to the City guard, “I am Elder Si Tu of the Holy Courtyard, here to reinforce the Northern Border. Please notify General Mu.”

“Elder Si Tu, please wait a moment!”

A commander respectfully saluted, then took out a jade talisman to transmit a message.

A few breaths later.

Mu Bei appeared on the City wall, his armor already stained red with blood. He waved his hand, “Open the City gates!”

Rumble!

The City gates slowly opened.

Mu Bei flew down and saluted Xie Weilou and Situ Jin, “Greetings, Marquis Zhenxi, Elder Si Tu.”

“Mhm!”

Xie Weilou and Situ Jin nodded slightly.

Xie Weilou asked, “General Mu, how are things here?”

Mu Bei said solemnly, “It’s not optimistic. Outside the north of the City, there are 100,000 Demon Clan Army and 100,000 Monster Clan Army entrenched. If we fight them head-on, the Zhenbei Army simply cannot hold them off. For now, we can only rely on the formations to resist.”

The Zhenbei Army had 300,000 soldiers, naturally outnumbering the Demon Clan and Monster Clan Army.

However, the Demon Clan and Monster Clan had extremely terrifying combat power. When fighting, the 300,000 Zhenbei Army were no match at all.

The Demon Clan and Monster Clan had a natural advantage; from the moment they were born, they possessed a certain level of strength.

In contrast, for humans to embark on the path of cultivation, they had to possess spiritual bones. Among the 300,000 Zhenxi Army, cultivators only accounted for a small portion, and most soldiers only followed the ordinary body refinement path, with limited combat power.

Xie Weilou pondered for a moment, then asked, “Have any Dragon Transformation Realm or Divine Court Realm cultivators appeared?”

Mu Bei said, “Previously, no Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators appeared; the strongest were only Profound Manifestation Realm. However, just now, scouts discovered several Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouses entering the Demon Clan and Monster Clan camps. They should be new reinforcements.”

The grand formation of the Northern Border was set up by the Imperial Advisor and could withstand attacks from the Dragon Transformation Realm.

However, if there were Divine Court Realm cultivators, or if the Monster Clan or Demon Clan brought powerful magical treasures, the formation wouldn’t hold for too long.

Mu Bei added, “His Majesty has given an order: if you come to the Northern Border, the 300,000 Zhenbei Army will be entirely at your command.”

Xie Weilou’s achievements in the Western lands had already spread throughout Great Xia, so Mu Bei naturally felt there was no problem with the 300,000 Zhenbei Army being at his command.

“Let’s go take a look first!”

Xie Weilou said nonchalantly.

“Alright!”

Mu Bei nodded with a serious expression, then led everyone to the north of the City.

North of the City.

The City walls were even taller, stained with blood, and covered with numerous formations, including a City-protecting grand formation that enveloped the entire City.

The army within the City was on high alert. On the City walls, many soldiers gripped their long spears, their bodies stained with blood, and ice and snow congealed on their armor and blood, making them appear extremely heavy.

Mr. Yan of the Holy Courtyard stood with over a hundred of The Holy Courtyard's Disciples, their expressions grave as they stared into the distance.

Twenty li outside the City, the Demon Clan and Monster Clan Army were entrenched, a vast, dark expanse that was dazzling to the eye. Demonic qi and monstrous qi surged into the sky, covering the firmament, creating an extremely suffocating atmosphere.

At this moment, 10,000 Demon Clan and 10,000 Monster Clan troops were rapidly approaching the City, intending to launch a new round of attacks.

Xie Weilou and the others subsequently arrived on the City wall.

When Mr. Yan saw Situ Jin, he cupped his fists and saluted, “Greetings, Elder Si Tu.”

His gaze then fell upon Xie Weilou, his expression somewhat strange.

The last time he saw Xie Weilou in the Northern Border, this fellow was still a good-for-nothing, completely unremarkable.

But upon seeing him again this time, the other party was already Great Xia’s Marquis Zhenxi, and a ruthless individual capable of slaying a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.

Situ Jin asked, “Are there any casualties?”

Mr. Yan said, “There are some losses. If you hadn’t come, we wouldn’t have been able to hold on for much longer.”

Situ Jin smiled faintly, then looked at Xie Weilou, “Marquis Zhenxi, how do you think this battle should be fought?”

She also wanted to see if Xie Weilou truly possessed such heaven-defying abilities.

Mu Bei also stared at Xie Weilou with curiosity. With Situ Jin and Xie Weilou arriving in the Northern Border, the pressure in his heart had significantly lessened. He was also very curious about what Xie Weilou would do next.

Xie Weilou said with a composed expression, “If we let the Zhenbei Army continue to charge out of the City, even if they win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. This battle can be left to me alone.”

To him, it was merely a slaughter. Two hundred thousand troops were just right for wielding his blade and slaughtering them, condensing his blade intent.

“Alone…”

Everyone looked at Xie Weilou in astonishment.

They knew of Xie Weilou’s achievements; he had previously destroyed the West Chu army alone with a single sword, breaking through thirteen cities, which was truly heaven-defying.

However, the Demon Clan and Monster Clan were clearly even more terrifying, and who knew how many strong cultivators were hidden in the shadows. Going in alone with a single sword carried immense risk.

“One person is enough! Today, let the land outside this Northern Border City be piled with corpses and flow with rivers of blood.”

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing outside the City.

“This…”

Mu Bei looked at Situ Jin with a grave expression.

Situ Jin chuckled, “Since he is so confident, then let us wait and see!”

“……”

Mu Bei nodded slightly. The Zhenbei Army was already prepared; as soon as they detected that something was wrong, they would sally forth to meet the enemy.

Su Muxue and Xiao Ce looked at Xie Weilou’s back, their expressions somewhat complex. At this moment, they seemed only able to look up to Xie Weilou.

Not long after.

The 20,000 strong Demon Clan and Monster Clan army arrived three li outside the City. Leading them were four Profound Phase Realm Peak cultivators. The Demon Clan and Monster Clan seemed to have agreed, intending to attack the Northern Border together.

It seemed that Xie Weilou’s previous massacre of the Monster Clan in Northern Nether and framing of the Demon Clan had not had too much of an impact.

Perhaps it wasn’t that there was no impact, but rather that both sides had a common goal and temporarily chose to cooperate.
