296: General Shen Long, this is a misunderstanding!

"Comparing numbers?" Shen Wudao glanced at the figures surrounding him and couldn't help but sneer.

The next second.

Swish!

A token appeared in his hand, then emitted a glimmer of divine light before shooting into the sky, exploding into a ten-thousand-foot radiance. This brilliant light seemed to pierce through countless distances, visible to the entire Imperial City.

This was a token unique to the Shen Family sequence, which could not be used unless absolutely necessary—only in life-or-death situations or when the Shen Family faced a great disaster.

And most importantly, Shen Wudao had added a little something extra to it.

"The Wang Family army intends to surround and kill the Head of the Shen Family..."

At the same time.

East of the Imperial City, stretching for thirty thousand miles.

On the land facing the Heavenly Demon Realm, an invisible Formation covered an area of one hundred thousand miles. As the Formation operated, it seemed to possess the great power of heaven and earth, allowing those within it to absorb the purest Spiritual Qi.

The Heavenly Abyss region was different from the Five Regions of the Human Race; it was the boundary between the Monster Realm and the Human Race. Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi mingled there, causing the Spiritual Qi to become violent and difficult for any Cultivator to absorb, but this great Formation perfectly solved that problem.

The land covered by this Formation was the barracks of the Shen Family's Cangtian Army!

Within an endless ancient forest stretching for ten thousand miles, the magnificent barracks stood proudly between heaven and earth. Banners of the Cangtian Army swayed in the wind, exuding an ancient aura. The white flags were covered in numerous brown spots, stained with who knows how much blood.

Before even reaching the barracks, one could see the hidden dark guards of the Cangtian Army in the forest. Like shadows, they were adept at reconnaissance and possessed terrifying willpower. After countless years, they remained hidden here, waiting only for a command.

Within this ancient forest, there were also countless terrifying killing Formations; only by crossing these could one see the true face of that majestic barracks.

Above the stone gate, which was forged from ancient stone, the three characters "Cangtian Army" were written in a flourishing, dragon-like calligraphy.

The barracks were immense, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people. On the vast training plaza, three space gates floated in mid-air. Within each space was a Sumeru Realm, where Yao Beasts ran rampant and all sorts of life-and-death crises abounded, with Heavenly Tribulations occasionally descending like the end of the world.

This was where the Cangtian Army trained daily.

At this moment, the army was going about its usual routine, coming and going. Occasionally, thousands of winged Cangtian Army soldiers could be seen descending like flowing rainbows. Everyone stepped on standardized flying artifacts, carried black-gold bows and arrows on their backs, wore swords at their waists, and had cold, stern expressions.

The Cangtian Army was composed of four major branches: infantry, cavalry, archers, and shadows. Their division of labor was clear, yet they could perfectly integrate with one another and execute the Cangtian Battle Formation together, possessing unparalleled combat power!

In the center of the training platform, a figure stared coldly ahead and shouted angrily.

"What are you afraid of? Keep killing! If the Monster Realm attacks, do you have a path of retreat?"

"Anyone who retreats or avoids battle again will be dealt with by military law!"

This was a slightly elderly general, the one with the highest seniority, oldest age, and greatest achievements among the Twelve Generals of the Cangtian Army—the Dragon Heavenly General, General Shen Long!

A general who had been at the Void Return Peak for many years and had established many military merits, his father had even personally followed the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family, Shen Qiong, into the Lower Realm to fight in that great Heavenly Demon War!

Therefore, General Shen Long held an extremely high status in the army, and he himself was also very capable.

In the past, General Shen Long was one of those most opposed to Old Ancestor Shen Min unilaterally deciding the position of the Young Clan Leader, and for this, he had held a grudge for a long time. However, once message after message about Shen Nian reached his ears, General Shen Long changed his attitude completely!

"Everyone, perk up!"

"If the Head of the Shen Family came to the barracks and saw the Cangtian Army looking like this, what face would I have left?" General Shen Long said with a stern expression, his thick white eyebrows raised, displaying full majesty.

Hearing this.

The Cangtian Army in those three Sumeru Realms seemed as if they had been injected with adrenaline, working even harder. One of the most ferocious units was the Divine Feather Guards led by Shen Yi, who had arrived at this place just two days ago to await the arrival of Shen Nian.

It just so happened that they were training, so without a second thought, he led the Divine Feather Guards to join in.

"This foundation is not bad..." General Shen Long watched the performance of the Divine Feather Guards and couldn't help but praise them in his heart.

However, at this very moment.

A divine light lit up in the sky, accompanying the falling voice of Shen Wudao.

At this moment, the entire Cangtian Army barracks fell into silence.

"Good, good, good!"

"The damn Wang Family dares to bully the Head of the Shen Family! Cangtian Army, take orders!" General Shen Long moved, standing directly in the air, gripping a long spear in his hand, his expression cold to the extreme.

"Follow me and kill!"

"Kill!"

Thousands of Cangtian Army soldiers shouted in unison, all with angry expressions. This terrifying aura shook the eight directions, and the earth even began to tremble.

Space shattered abruptly, and countless Cangtian Army soldiers tore through space and left, with Shen Yi leading the Divine Feather Guards at the forefront.

At the same time.

In other barracks, sounds that shook the heavens and earth also erupted.

Eighty thousand miles outside the Cangtian Army barracks, members of the Yao Race who had been lurking there for years to observe the movements of the Cangtian Army suddenly appeared.

"Damn!"

"What is the meaning of this? Is the Shen Family going to start a war?"

"Wasn't it agreed that the great armies would not participate in the competition among Prodigies?"

At the same time.

Inside the Imperial Pass.

"You..." Wang Kun's face instantly turned as ugly as if he had eaten excrement, and then he let out a bitter laugh: "Young friend Wudao, aren't you just throwing baseless accusations at me..."

"When did my Wang Family ever say we wanted to move against Lord Shen!"

Immediately, Wang Kun looked at the surrounding Beixuan Army and couldn't help but curse: "Were your heads squeezed by a door?"

"Who the hell told you to come out!"

The Beixuan Army shouted in unison: "The Iron-Blooded Beixuan Army swears to protect the safety of the Young Clan Leader to the death! We are not afraid of death!"

"..." Wang Kun's mouth twitched. Who the hell trained this army? Why are they like idiots?

Just at this moment.

The Spiritual Qi within the entire Imperial Pass began to become chaotic, and space trembled violently.

"Damn it!" Wang Kun's expression changed drastically, and he secretly thought, 'This is bad.'

"It's over, Lord Wang, what do we do now!" An elder of the Wang Family said in a panic.

Just at this moment.

Rumble!

Above the entire Imperial Pass, countless spaces shattered, and one unit after another of the Cangtian Army, clad in silver armor, stepped out like dragons. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the entire Wang Family Beixuan Army. The sheer number was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

In the sky, on the ground, and in the clouds, there were figures of the Cangtian Army everywhere.

"Wang Kun, pay with your life!"

A long spear fell from the sky, carrying unparalleled killing power. At the tip of the spear, one could see the Void Realm collapsing and divine patterns flowing.

Boom!

Wang Kun tried his best to block this spear, but it came too suddenly, and even he couldn't hold it off. With a thud, he knelt on one knee on the ground, gritting his teeth as he said: "General Shen Long, this is a misunderstanding!"

The combat power of General Shen Long was unquestionable; there was not one among the Twelve Generals of the Cangtian Army who was not a powerhouse!

Don't be fooled by his advanced age!

Even if he went all out, he might not be able to defeat the other party!

"Misunderstanding my ass!" General Shen Long cursed directly. He had been worrying about not having a chance to prove himself. In the past, he had opposed Shen Nian becoming the Young Clan Leader, and during this period, he had been thinking all day about how to resolve this estrangement.

Good heavens, isn't this opportunity just right here?

Today, whether he wanted to or not, he had to beat this Wang Kun!
