372: What better place to hide than here?

One hundred thousand li outside Xitian Pass, dark clouds gathered, countless iron cavalry rode across the grassland, battle flags fluttered, and their Aura pierced the sky!

On the city wall, Ye Tiantong stood tall in his battle armor, his tiger-like eyes scanning the endless depths of the grassland, as if he could see the vast army at a glance!

"Brother Longcheng, there are still three days until the great battle begins!"

Ye Tiantong's gaze was sharp, and his entire body radiated a fierce Killing Intent. This was the Aura he had refined over decades of guarding Xitian Pass, utterly domineering!

Xuanyuan Longcheng, clad in iron armor, possessed an unparalleled Aura and said calmly, "You and I have spent our lives in battle, fighting not a thousand, but at least eight hundred great battles. What is this in comparison?"

"A war involving the twenty dynasties alliance is unprecedented. Even if we die on the battlefield, what of it!"

For soldiers like them, dying on the battlefield was the greatest glory!

Their will to fight a hundred battles was undying; death held no fear!

"Well said! This is an unprecedented war. You and I, old brothers, can still fight side by side on the battlefield. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Come on, give the order, the vanguard army departs!"

At Ye Tiantong's command, the gates of Xitian Pass boomed open. Looking down into the city, a Great Qi army, fully armored, had long been ready for battle, awaiting Ye Tiantong's military order!

This was the vanguard army of Xitian Pass. Their responsibility was immense; they not only had to tear open a gap in the allied forces but also find a way to lure the allied forces into the Great Array of Extinction of the Eight Wastelands!

"Vanguard army, attack!"

Boom! ! !

As the heavy steel gates opened, the vanguard army, without the slightest hesitation, galloped their horses towards the outside of the pass.

Inside the city, many common people watched the army depart. Among these people were their relatives and blood brothers. No one knew how many of these hundreds of thousands of vanguard soldiers would return alive after this battle!

"Great Qi is mighty, invincible with us! ! !"

Suddenly, the departing vanguard army shouted loudly, their voices like thunder, echoing through the sky!

The city's inhabitants, hearing this passionate roar, all trembled. They looked up at the distant army and shouted loudly in response.

"Great Qi is mighty, invincible with us!"

"Great Qi is mighty, invincible with us!"

Their voices, like a majestic Dragon, shook the four wilds, and all the soldiers within Xitian Pass were stirred.

On the city walls, a line of Imperial Dynasty generals also joined in the shouting.

After the great battle half a year ago, all the soldiers of Xitian Pass had long grown accustomed to battles of this magnitude and had long since come to terms with life and death.

They had their own convictions, and the frontier of Great Qi was their stronghold!

Because this was their home!

If their home was gone, then everything would be gone, and Great Qi would cease to exist.

"Our Great Qi is not a warlike army, but we have an invincible army and soldiers who are not afraid of death."

"Even if it's an alliance of twenty dynasties, they won't succeed in dealing with our Great Qi!"

Listening to the shouts of the departing soldiers, Ye Tiantong's heart surged like a stormy sea, and his blood boiled.

These were his soldiers, warriors loyal to the Imperial Dynasty!

With such warriors, what could possibly defeat them?

Nothing!

...In the endless grassland, there was a huge mountain range, lying across the wilderness.

This mountain range divided the grassland from the vast and endless sea, with towering peaks and precipitous ridges, like a natural chasm!

This huge mountain range was called Meng Mountain!

Vast and boundless, with overlapping peaks and extreme danger, this was a true description of this mountain range.

Legend has it that countless powerhouses were buried here, and even immortal Schools once established their Schools here, but without exception, through the vicissitudes of time and countless changes, no matter how powerful, they could not escape the fate of oblivion.

Over time, very few Cultivators dared to enter here, and no powerful Schools established themselves here.

Therefore, this place had instead become a paradise for countless Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts.

On a large mountain, a group of four stood on the peak. Not far away, a massive Vicious Beast lay on the mountain peak, its blood staining the mountain range, nourishing the vegetation, completely devoid of Life Qi.

"Legend says Meng Mountain is a paradise for Vicious Beasts and Yao Beasts, and it seems to be true, even having Great Yao of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm."

"Fortunately, these Great Yao do not leave Meng Mountain; otherwise, the entire Border Wilderness Region would likely see few Imperial Dynasties escape disaster."

Xing Yao glanced at the Yao Beast that had lost its Life Qi in the distance, feeling a bit emotional.

This was already the northernmost part of Great Qi, and beyond it lay the endless sea.

However, entering the sea from here was as difficult as ascending to heaven. The countless Vicious Beasts and Yao Beasts lurking in Meng Mountain were enough to wipe out any Cultivator who dared to trespass.

At least, it would be very difficult for many Imperial Dynasties in the Border Wilderness Region to pass through here to reach the sea.

Shen Tianxing nodded and said, "The Northern Wilderness is ultimately a great domain. Even the Border Wilderness Region, logically, shouldn't be a barren land. The facts prove that naturally born Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts can reach an extremely high level."

"Human Race Cultivators should not stop progressing either. The Border Wilderness Region also holds Opportunity."

The first time he came here, he saw the hidden potential of this place.

Ordinary Cultivators might never be able to leave the Meng Mountain range in their lifetime, but if one could Cultivate in Meng Mountain, there was a complete Opportunity to go very far on the Dao of Cultivation.

It was just too difficult; it was better to go to the Sea of Buried Demons, where there was fertile ground for Cultivator growth.

The more Schools there were, the better the Cultivation environment, and the greater the Opportunity.

"My lord, if Great Qi wins this great battle, will it be possible to enter Meng Mountain to seek Opportunity?"

Liu Yueying agreed deeply and couldn't help but ask.

"There are many Opportunities here, but it is not suitable for the Human Race. Human Race Cultivators cannot resist Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts."

Liu Xianyun glanced at her and said unhurriedly.

But there was one more thing she didn't say: unless someone in the Border Wilderness Region Breakthrough to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, they would not be able to find any Opportunity here.

It was just that among the many Imperial Dynasties in the Border Wilderness Region now, besides Empress Yan Yuzhu, where were there any Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators?

Liu Yueying seemed to understand but did not ask further.

If Liu Xianyun said so, then it must be true.

"The Xitian Pass army has already moved out. The great battle will break out in less than two days."

"According to the time calculation, Your Majesty should have already arrived at Xitian Pass. She should be secretly waiting for the experts under the Holy Heaven Demon Sect to appear."

Yaochi had been calculating the war at Xitian Pass these days, and also the movements of the Empress.

However, the Empress's Cultivation was too high, and she couldn't calculate it.

Every move of Xitian Pass, however, was revealed under her calculations. The vanguard army's expedition, the allied army's movement, she knew all clearly.

She just didn't know what Shen Tianxing was doing here.

Shouldn't he be waiting at Xitian Pass for the other side to make a move?

Shen Tianxing heard this and smiled, "The people of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect are not fools. They probably already know that the Empress cannot leave Great Qi, so they definitely won't stay within Great Qi's borders."

"The closest place to Xitian Pass is this Meng Mountain, and there are no Cultivators or Schools here. What place is more suitable for hiding than this?"
