96: Chapter 96 The Chen Family Joins the War!!
In these years as Dayan recovered its Origin Qi, the war in the neighboring State of Zheng grew increasingly tragic.
The combat power invested by both sides became greater and greater, with the Human Race alone dispatching no less than thirty Golden Core Cultivators, while on the side of the Yao Race, Tier 4 Yao Beasts also appeared frequently.
How could the Yao Race easily give up when they had managed to open up a battlefield in the State of Zheng to invade a dozen surrounding countries?
Originally, if the Demon Nations wanted to invade countries like Dayan, they needed to first pass through the Wanshou Mountain Range.
However, the terrain of the Wanshou Mountain Range was rugged, and even if it could accommodate large-scale Yao Beasts heading north, it would take quite a bit of time.
Therefore, several major Demon Nations chose to cooperate with the Blood Fiend Sect.
The Blood Fiend Sect would provide the teleportation Formation, be responsible for transporting the forces of the Yao Race, and join hands with them to occupy a country.
Meanwhile, the major Demon Nations would hand over all the Human Race within their territories to the Blood Fiend Sect for their blood sacrifices.
In recent years, the Blood Fiend Sect could be considered the faction that benefited the most among the three parties.
They sacrificed tens of millions of Mortals within the State of Zheng, and the strength of every Elder and Disciple of the entire Sect soared rapidly.
Meanwhile, the Sect Master of Zhenyang Sect, who was also the Grand Elder of the Blood Fiend Sect, had his cultivation upgraded from the Golden Core Great Perfection to Nascent Soul, becoming the third Vice Sect Master of the Blood Fiend Sect.
Today, the Blood Fiend Sect had a full four Nascent Soul Cultivators, making even several demon nations among the Thirty-Six Demon Nations—such as the Flame Demon Country, the Emerald Demon Country, and the Canglang Demon Country—deeply wary of them.
The Human Race side gritted their teeth with hatred at the actions of the Blood Fiend Sect, not only because of the atrocious behavior of the Blood Fiend Sect slaughtering tens of millions of Mortals, but also because they had previously held blood sacrifice rituals targeting various countries, many of which included the clansmen and relatives of Cultivators from those countries.
"We must destroy the teleportation Formation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the stalemate continues, our losses will be even greater," a Golden Core Cultivator from Lu Country proposed.
Fighting up to now, several Golden Core Masters on their side had already died, not to mention countless Cultivators under their command; if they continued to fight like this, the various countries could not afford such a toll.
All Golden Core Cultivators agreed, especially the Golden Core ones from Yan Country and Wei Country.
The three countries were closest to the State of Zheng; if the State of Zheng completely fell, the three countries would directly face the fierce attacks of the Demon Nations.
However, it was difficult!
Not only was the teleportation Formation guarded by quite a few Tier 4 Yao Kings, but even the Tier 5 Great Yao King of the Flame Demon Country was there.
Previously, the Grand Elder of Shenxiaozong, True Monarch Shenxiao, personally took action to lure away the Great Yao King, while they were responsible for destroying the Formation.
Originally, all the Yao Kings were held back, but in the end, it still fell short of success at the last hurdle, being stopped by Fang Wuxie, the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Fiend Sect.
At that time, his cultivation had not yet entered the Nascent Soul stage and was still at the Pseudo-Nascent Soul level, but they had no powerhouses of the same level to deal with him; otherwise, the Yao Race would have been repelled long ago.
Unfortunately, they fell just one move short.
Now, wanting to organize another counterattack again did not have a high chance of success.
Several Golden Core Masters had died in that previous counterattack, and even True Monarch Shenxiao had suffered some injuries.
Although they still had two Nascent Soul True Monarchs on their side, one of them had to guard the rear to prevent accidents from happening in the rear.
The other Nascent Soul True Monarch preserved his strength to deal with whether the Yao Race had a hidden Tier 5 Great Yao King.
That was to say, they currently had little surplus strength to organize another counterattack.
"Report!" A Purple Mansion Master rushed anxiously into the hall.
"What has happened?" A white-haired and white-bearded purple-robed Golden Core Master frowned and asked.
"Exalted Seniors, the frontline is in urgent crisis! The Yao Race led an army to arrive at Fengtian City."
"What?" All the Golden Core Masters drew a sharp breath.
...
Just as the Yao Race launched a massive offensive against Fengtian City, Yan Country also received the news.
However, in just a few days, Fengtian City was lost.
The Human Race suffered heavy casualties, with nearly ten Golden Cores even dying.
Taking the opportunity, the Yao Race continued northward, splitting into two armies and capturing the gateways of Wei and Lu Countrys.
In the blink of an eye, nearly one-third of the territory of the two countries was invaded and occupied by the Yao Race.
That Qinglian Sword Master of the Qinglian Sword Sect immediately mobilized the Golden Core Masters of all countries including Yan Country, dispatching more than fifty Golden Cores.
Even Yan Country had a dozen or so Golden Cores mobilized, and four hundred thousand Cultivators were conscripted, intending to make a final desperate fight to the death.
A massive number of Cultivators rushed majestically toward the three countries; if the Human Race did not win this war, there would only be a dead end, and almost all Cultivators had nowhere to retreat.
After capturing nearly one-third of the territory of Wei and Lu Countrys, the Yao Race continued to gather forces to attack Lu Country, and in just five days, uprooted Qiankui Sect, the strongest Golden Core Sect of Lu Country.
Having taken Lu Country, they then divided their forces to nibble away at Wei and Yan countries.
Meanwhile, the Yao Race from the rear was continuously dispatched over.
Wuyue Mountain.
Chen Changqing came out of seclusion and, listening to the reports of his clansmen, felt somewhat worried about the current predicament of Yan Country.
After being silent for a long time, he consulted with Chen Xuanyi and others at Qingyang Mountain through a sound transmission talisman.
Their Chen Family had also been conscripted; Xuantian Sect demanded that within half a month, they dispatch one Foundation Establishment Cultivator and one hundred Qi Refining Cultivators to arrive at Xuantian Sect, and then, under the transfer orders of Yuxu Sect, head to various places to garrison.
After the three of them discussed it, they decided that Chen Changqing would go to battle.
Furthermore, another twenty Qi Refining Cultivators would be mobilized from within the Family, and eighty more would be pooled from several Qi Refining Cultivators under their command, rushing to Xuantian Sect together.
After Chen Changqing left, Chen Xuanyi was responsible for looking after Wuyue Mountain to prevent any Cultivators from harboring ideas about Wuyue Mountain.
...
In less than half a month, Chen Changqing converged with the Qi Refining Cultivators under the Family's command.
After a few more days, all the subordinate forces conscripted by Xuantian Sect arrived in full.
At this time, the Purple Mansion Master of Xuantian Sect also stepped forward.
This time, Master Bingyou led the team, while Master Lingxiao was responsible for guarding the rear—after all, the entire Xuantian Sect only had two Purple Mansion Masters left.
Several thousand Cultivators followed Master Bingyou toward the border of Yan Country.
Currently, at the border junction of Yan Country, Lu Country, and the State of Zheng, there was a towering Great Wall blocking the way.
This Great Wall was tens of thousands of li long, about a hundred zhang wide, and two hundred zhang high.
Truly worthy of being the Great Wall!
Everyone felt deeply emotional inside.
The garrison range assigned to Chen Changqing and the others was a two-thousand-li stretch of the Great Wall in Longchuan County.
Here, there was one Golden Core Master, several Purple Mansion Masters, two to three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and ten to twenty thousand Qi Refining Cultivators.
Just as he climbed onto the city wall, Chen Changqing gazed out into the distance.
Numerous black dots connected the heaven and earth, surging forward majestically.
"They are here."
Not knowing who suddenly said with a tremble, Chen Changqing and all the other Cultivators immediately felt waves of tremors coming from beneath their feet.
All the Cultivators immediately grew nervous; some summoned their Magical Artifacts, while others began setting up Formations.
Although this city was not made from particularly good Materials, under the arrangement of countless Formations, the defensive strength of every section of the city wall reached the level of Tier 2 Formations, and even some important places reached the defense level of Tier 4.
Although the place where Chen Changqing was located was only set up with a set of Tier 2 Formations, what he faced would not be Tier 3 Yao Beasts either, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
The main thing was to ensure that his magical power could be fully supplied at all times.
After a little while, that group of Yao Beasts finally arrived at the foot of the city.
A Tier 2 barbarian bull launched an attack first, charging toward Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing simply conjured his mother-and-child swords and engaged it in a fierce battle.
In all other places, it was just the same.
