466 Chapter 466/you can’t break through this city
It wasn’t a strange thing for him to be surnamed Jiang.
However, the previous sect master of the heavenly corpse sect was also surnamed Jiang.
More importantly …
The other party was a sky corpse.
Although the news that Yuan sect had obtained the sky corpse was only spread among the higher-ups of the sect, there was no such thing as an impervious wall. No matter how closely-kept the news was, it would still leak out eventually.
In terms of information.
The players were the most well-informed.
There was an offline forum, so as long as one was willing to pay a little price, the news could be almost seamlessly connected.
…..
Even though not everyone knew about this.
However-
There were so many people in the sky origin sect, so there were still some who knew about it.
In less than a day.
The news of a Deva great demon sneaking into North cloud Manor and fighting with a Yuan sect expert before being forced to retreat had also spread out.
For a moment.
The North cloud Manor was jittery.
At this time, with Marquis North cloud leading the king of the Army, North cloud Manor’s strength could be said to be at its weakest.
If the demons were to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the North cloud Manor, they would be in deep trouble.
He wasn’t paying attention.
There might be a fatal disaster.
This was especially so when even Devas and great demons had been mobilized. The problem was even more serious.
In the entire North cloud Prefecture, there were only two people with the combat power of a celestial being. One of them was Marquis North cloud’s residence, and the other was the yuan sect.
Other than that.
There was no third force that could withstand an attack from the celestial realm.
If a Deva-level great demon were to launch a surprise attack on the yuan sect, the yuan sect would still be able to defend against it. However, if the other party were to bypass the yuan sect and directly enter the heart of North cloud Prefecture, death would be the only outcome for anyone who encountered them.
Even the great sects of the large regions felt a strong sense of danger.
Even these sects that had existed for a thousand years.
He also didn’t have the right to resist a Deva.
Therefore, when this news spread, many sects felt threatened and turned their attention to Yuan sect.
It was the only top sect in North cloud Prefecture.
To be honest.
Yuan sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture.
It was just that some of the major sects in the large regions were indignant when they saw that Yuan sect had completely surpassed their thousand-year accumulation in just a few years. They were not willing to admit this fact.
But now …
In the face of the invisible threat of the demon race, some sects immediately turned their attention to Yuan sect.
“Grand Elder, the elder of the formless blade sect requests an audience!”
A Deacon stood at the side and reported.
Zheng Fang’s hands paused for a moment, then he said, “”Invite him over!”
“Yes!”
After the deacon left.
There was some doubt in his eyes.
The traceless sect was a major sect in a large region of North cloud Prefecture. Even now, the strength of this sect was one of the most powerful sects in North cloud Prefecture.
However, the yuan sect and the traceless sect had never had any interactions.
For a moment, Zheng Fang could not figure out the purpose of the traceless sect’s elder’s visit.
A few minutes passed.
A grey-robed old man came over. The moment he saw Zheng Fang, he chuckled and cupped his hands. I’m su Yuan from the traceless sect. Greetings, great elder Zheng!
“So it’s elder su, please take a seat!”
“Many thanks!”
Su Yuan thanked him and then sat down opposite Zheng Fang.
To be able to become an elder of the traceless sect …
He was a Grand cultivator of the divine martial realm.
But even so …
Su Yuan did not dare to underestimate Zheng Fang, a cultivator in the airborne realm.
“What is elder SU’s purpose for coming over this time?”
Zheng Fang asked calmly as he looked at su Yuan.
Hearing this, su Yuan’s expression turned serious. He said, “”I’m here for the demon race. I heard that a Deva demon attacked your sect, but I don’t know if it’s true.”
“Yes.”
Zheng Fang let out a soft ‘hmm’, which was considered a silent agreement.
However, he now understood the purpose of su Yuan’s visit.
The demon race!
Since the traceless sect and Yuan sect did not have much interaction, it was impossible for the other party to come over just to show his concern. The real reason was probably related to his own interests.
right now, the Imperial court is constantly having internal conflicts. It’s hard for us sects in the cultivation world to stay out of it. The North cloud Manor is located close to the endless Mountains, and the demons there are also eyeing it covetously.
After getting Zheng Fang’s acknowledgment, su Yuan took a deep breath and said seriously.
elder Zheng, you should know very well how powerful the demons are. The cultivation world of our North cloud Manor is weak. If the demons attack us on a large scale, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for us to fight them.
Therefore, I hope that my traceless sect can join forces with your sect to fight against the demon race!”
He didn’t have any intention of beating around the bush.
The current situation did not allow the formless blade sect to do so.
Otherwise …
No one would be able to gain anything if they made Yuan sect unhappy.
As for Zheng Fang, he did not reply immediately. Instead, he muttered to himself for a moment.
The Alliance!
He had also thought about this matter, but he had not done it.
Because of the Alliance, whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
With Yuan sect’s strength, they could just sit on the fishing platform and wait for the other sects to take the bait.
Su Yuan’s arrival proved that the other sects could no longer withstand the pressure of the demon race.
Otherwise …
The traceless sect would definitely not send anyone here.
He thought about it.
Zheng Fang didn’t give a direct reply. Instead, he chuckled and said, “”Is the Alliance only your sect’s intention, or do the other sects have the same intention?”
“This is the intention of the traceless sect, but I think the other sects have the same idea.”
“Yes.”
…..
Zheng Fang nodded, but did not say anything else.
The scene was a little awkward.
After a short while.
“I wonder what your sect thinks about this matter?” su Yuan had no choice but to ask.
“I don’t have much of an opinion. We humans are of the same breath and branch, it’s only natural for us to fight against the demon race together.” Zheng Fang smiled and said, “”However, who should be the leader of this Alliance?”
Yuan sect is a top sect in North cloud Prefecture. They should be the leader.
Su Yuan replied without thinking.
“If that’s the case, then please forgive my sect for not being able to agree.”
alright … What!?
Su Yuan wanted to nod and agree, but he reacted quickly. He looked at Zheng Fang with a puzzled expression, as if he didn’t understand why the other party had rejected him.
The entire cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture was led by Yuan sect.
It was also a direct acknowledgment of Yuan sect’s Supreme status.
This way …
Yuan sect’s reputation would definitely increase.
In his opinion, sky origin sect should not have rejected such a good deal.
Zheng Fang shook his head and said, ” this matter is of great importance. We’ll discuss it again when our sect leader returns. Elder su, you must be tired from your long journey. You can rest in Liangshan city for a night and return to the traceless sect tomorrow.
At this point, he had already directly asked him to leave.
Seeing this.
Su Yuan could only stand up and leave.
After su Yuan left, Zheng Fang sneered and shook his head, saying to himself, “”It’s a good plan to have Yuan sect as the leader.”
This matter seemed to be of great benefit to sky origin sect.
In fact, if one were to seriously think about it, there was nothing practical at all.
As the only top-notch sect in North cloud Prefecture, it even had two Deva-level experts.
Regardless of whether the other sects acknowledged it or not, it was impossible to shake the Supreme status of Yuan sect.
This kind of status.
It was obtained by Yuan sect with its own strength and didn’t need others to show off.
On the contrary.
If Yuan sect agreed to the traceless sect’s Alliance, the entire cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture would look for them immediately if anything happened. By then, Yuan sect would be in deep trouble.
A top-tier sect had become a thug for North cloud Manor.
Of course.
If other sects were to obtain this position, they would be willing to even be hired thugs.
However, to sky origin sect, there was no need for that.
Su Yuan wanted to gain something empty-handed, so how could Zheng Fang fall for it?
With Yuan sect’s current power, they didn’t need those illusory things.
It was either that the sects offered practical benefits.
Otherwise, sky origin sect wouldn’t have gone to play with them.
Of course.
Even though Zheng Fang was the first elder, he couldn’t make the decision for all of these matters. He still had to wait for Qin shujian to return before he could make a decision.
And …
Currently, the other sects in the cultivation world of North cloud Manor did not feel too much pressure. They were not in a desperate situation yet.
After all …
Although some Deva-level demons had entered the North cloud Manor, they did not cause any harm to the North cloud Manor. It was just that they had been forced to retreat by Yuan sect the moment they came out.
The reason why Su Yuan came …
It was also because he was afraid of the fear of Devas and great demons.
&Nbsp; however, it wasn’t easy to make these sects pay the price with just one shock.
Unless …
Only when these sects truly felt the pain would they have the possibility of giving in.
it’s a good idea to gain something without getting anything in return. Unfortunately, I found the wrong target!
Zheng Fang laughed and was full of disdain for su Yuan.
On the other side.
After su Yuan left, he did not look too good.
Yuan zongzi’s direct rejection had completely ruined the original plans of the traceless sect.
As for what he said about waiting for the sect leader to return before making a decision, it was also completely perfunctory words and had no credibility at all.
In this regard.
Su Yuan could not force anything.
If sky origin didn’t agree, he could only think of another way.
Just as the North cloud Prefecture was in a state of turmoil, the situation in the central Prefecture Prefecture became even more tense.
Originally, there were dukes and princes.
The situation in the central Prefecture had been alleviated a lot.
However, with the outbreak of a few consecutive battles, the Imperial court’s side was forced to retreat again and again. They lost many experts and troops, causing the initial advantage to be completely destroyed.
Kill!
The battle between the armies continued.
The arrows shot out like a flurry of feathers, bringing with them a spray of blood.
The originally stable defender array was now shaking violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Although the bloodstains on the sturdy city walls had already been refreshed and disappeared, the terrifying attacks still left behind inerasable marks.
“All the enemies who set foot on the city wall will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for every person they kill!”
Fang Jin exploded an enemy soldier with a single palm strike, then looked around at the chaotic battle with a Scarlet gaze and shouted.
Up until now.
He had even forgotten how long he had been in this state.
It could have been ten days, or it could have been more than a month.
The Army’s offensive had never stopped. The guards on the city walls had been changed again and again, and the casualties were countless, but they had always done their best to stop the enemy’s advance.
Until now.
There were already many enemy soldiers climbing up.
However, the city wall was still under the control of the Imperial court.
“Kill!” Fang Jin casually picked up a Broken Sword and threw it forward. A terrifying power exploded in the air, directly killing more than ten enemy soldiers.
Soon after.
He took another step forward and rose into the air. As he slashed down, he cut two divine martial realm Grand cultivators who were attacking the city’s defensive array in half.
After doing all this.
Fang Jin’s chest heaved.
Even after breaking through to the Deva realm, there was still a limit to the vast amount of true essence he had.
He had been fighting for so long, and he had never stopped. Even if he had vast true essence, he couldn’t withstand it.
Fang Jin had not expected this.
The rebel Army’s offensive was so frenzied that they did not stop at all, and they did not care about the deaths of their soldiers.
Until now.
Most of the soldiers who had been guarding the city were either dead or injured. Those who were still defending the city were almost all people sent over by the Imperial court.
At this moment.
In the void.
There were also celestial realm experts fighting.
With the intervention of the sects and the other Dukes, more and more Deva realm cultivators were fighting.
Dan Hao was the leader.
There were seven Devas on the Imperial court’s side, and on the rebel’s side, the number of Devas was not small either.
Zhang Yi held the mountain burning flame flag in his hand, and the thousand-foot golden Crow of flames burned the mountains and boiled the seas as it pounced towards dan Hao and the others.
On the other side.
Du Cheng Wu’s fist momentum was also shocking, with a tendency to destroy everything.
Boom-
The void trembled and the sun and moon lost their light.
Fang Jin was also paying attention to the changes in the battle situation in the void.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to make a move, but that he didn’t have the chance to.
The rebel’s offensive was fierce, and without him, a celestial being, there was a possibility of breaking through the city at any moment.
&Nbsp; so,
He could only stand guard here and stabilize the situation.
uncle Qin Yang, how dare you betray the Imperial court!!
Suddenly, dan Hao’s furious voice reverberated through the heavens and earth.
One of the people who had been fighting the rebels suddenly turned around and attacked dan Hao while he was unprepared, causing him to cough up blood.
For a moment.
The battle situation had already undergone a huge change.
“Not good!”
Seeing this, Fang Jin was shocked.
Then, he looked into the city and saw that the Xichong Prefecture’s Army had already charged at their own soldiers. The situation was in chaos.
Marquis Xichong has betrayed us and killed all the soldiers of the Xichong Prefecture!
Fang Jin did not fully trust these Dukes, so he had made preparations.
Soon after.
He took a step and soared into the sky to receive dan Hao.
Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but with the betrayal of Marquis Xichong, Qin Yangbo, and dan Hao’s heavy injuries, the Imperial court’s side had suddenly fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Among them, dan Hao was in a dangerous situation.
Fang Jin couldn’t just sit by and watch dan Hao die, so it was only natural for him to save him.
He rose into the air.
The battle blade in his hand slashed out, and the blade energy directly slashed towards Qin Yang Bo.
Qin Yangbo struck out a palm, and the palm energy immediately destroyed the blade energy.
Fang Jin took a step back and slashed out with his sword, instantly defusing his opponent’s attack.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Dan Hao had originally been caught off guard by Qin Yang Bo, but after Fang Jin’s intervention, he had also taken this opportunity to adjust.
“Everyone, retreat to the city!”
Dan Hao covered his chest with one hand as he looked at the battle situation in front of him. He immediately made a decision.
Upon hearing this.
The other celestial realm experts did not waste any more time with Zhang Yi and the others, and they immediately fled into the city.
The Deva realm expert wanted it wholeheartedly.
It would be very difficult to stop them.
Thus, Zhang Yi and the others allowed the Imperial court’s Devas to retreat.
“There’s no need to rush. Dan Hao is already heavily injured. Now that Marquis Xichong has joined our side, breaking through the city will be a piece of cake. Letting them escape will only give them a few more days to live.” Zhang Yi looked like he had victory in his hands.
At this moment, Qin Yang Bo opened his mouth and said, ” the Xichong Army has already caused internal strife in the city. Now is the best time to attack the city. Otherwise, when they recover, the difficulty of attacking the city will increase greatly.
There was one more thing he didn’t say.
If they allowed the Xichong Army to fight alone, the longer they dragged on, the greater the losses would be.
As for Qin Yang Bo’s thoughts …
The others were also very clear in their hearts.
Soon after.
The few of them returned to the central camp tent and immediately commanded the Army to attack.
Instantly.
The strength of the siege became even more intense.
On the other side.
Dan Hao and the others retreated back into the city, their faces frighteningly ugly.
The thing he was most worried about had still happened.
Some of the other vassals who had saved the Emperor had also secretly formed an alliance with the rebels.
Now that the Marquis of Xichong, count Qin Yang, had rebelled, no one could guarantee that the other Dukes would not be the next count Qin Yang.
However, before anything happened …
The Imperial court couldn’t take any action.
Otherwise …
The rebels had not even attacked, and they had already fallen apart.
Fang Jin’s expression was grave. He looked at the pale-faced dan Hao and asked,”How are your injuries, general Shan?”
“It’s alright. If I hadn’t been prepared for that old thing, I might have really died in his hands.”
Dan Hao panted a few times, but his complexion had also improved. He gritted his teeth and said, ”
He had never thought that uncle Qin Yang would betray him.
It was only because of Luo Jing’s incident that he had been on guard.
The result.
Uncle Qin Yang was really a rebel.
In this regard.
Dan Hao was both angry and helpless.
Fang Jin said, “now that count Qin Yang has rebelled, the Xichong Army in the city has started a civil war. If I’m not wrong, those rebels will definitely take this opportunity to break into the city.
At the end.
He was also feeling tired.
If there was no internal strife, they could still defend the city with their current strength.
However, with the Xichong Army’s cooperation from the inside and outside, the garrison in the city was in chaos, and it was difficult to do anything.
Upon hearing this.
The other people’s expressions were also ugly.
“If things can’t be done, we should preserve our strength.” One of them suddenly said.
Dan Hao and Fang Jin immediately looked at each other, their thoughts unknown.
The person who spoke was none other than him.
They were experts from the Imperial Observatory.
To some extent, the Imperial astronomer represented the face of the royal family and had a lot of power.
&Nbsp; so,
Whether it was dan Hao or Fang Jin, neither of them could ignore the other’s words.
“If we retreat, I’m afraid His Majesty will punish us,” Fang Jin said.
this is not city Lord Fang’s problem. There is nothing we can do even if the city is broken. How can His Majesty punish you? at most, I will plead for city Lord Fang. I believe His Majesty will not be angry easily.
Ji Yun smiled slightly, resolving Fang Jin’s worries.
Upon hearing this.
Fang Jin’s heart settled.
As long as the Imperial astronomer was willing to step in, there would not be a big problem.
Dan Hao also nodded and said, ” the city is in chaos right now. It’s impossible to defend it. Zhang Yi and the others have gained a Saint warrior like Qin Yang Bo. Their strength has also increased greatly.
The best thing to do now is to abandon the city and preserve our strength.”
“I guess that’s the only way.”
Fang Jin nodded.
He was not someone who only knew how to defend to the death.
He could still clearly distinguish when he could do it and when he could not.
Not long after.
The teleportation gate opened, and everyone left one after another.
The city that had been defended for more than a month was finally destroyed.
Compared to the intense battle here …
On the other hand, the battle on the other side was clearly much calmer.
Although there were also armies attacking the city, their attacks were not as intense as Zhang Yi’s and the others’. The two sides fought back and forth, and no one had any advantage.
On the city wall.
Marquis northcloud stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the battle ahead with a calm gaze.
In the rebel camp.
Shen Hong stared at him coldly and shouted, ” Marquis northcloud, the human Emperor is already dead. As a mighty figure, why do you have to risk your life for Xi Yang? why don’t we join forces and take down the Imperial City? wouldn’t it be better to share the world with us in the future? ”
the Xiao family has finally served the Imperial court for generations. Although the human Emperor is dead, the Imperial court has never let the Xiao family down. How can I be such an unloyal and unjust person? ”
Marquis northcloud laughed. His voice was clear and bright.
“In my opinion, it is better for the Marquis of wuan to retreat. As long as I am here, you will not be able to break through this city!”
“Xiao chengfeng, even if you can stop me, can you stop others? the destruction of the great Zhao dynasty is inevitable. Even if you are an Almighty, you don’t have the right to defy the heavens and change your fate!”
“I can’t say that I can change fate, but it’s enough to deal with you.”
“You …”
Shen Hong’s chest heaved up and down. It was obvious that he had been angered by Marquis northcloud.
If he could, he wanted to destroy the city in front of him right now and let the other party understand that even higher beings could not do whatever they wanted.
However-
Even though Shen Hong was furious, he understood.
With his current strength, unless he joined forces with the other Dukes, he might not be able to do anything to the other party.
An Almighty.
To a certain extent, it was already enough to suppress one side.
Furthermore, Marquis North cloud’s Army was made up of the North cloud Prefecture’s elites. In terms of strength, they were not much weaker than his martial peace Prefecture.
From the start of the war until now.
It had been going on for several days, but there was still no progress.
It wasn’t that Shen Hong was unwilling to attack the city with all his might, but Marquis northcloud’s presence made the city impregnable. The difficulty of breaking through the city was beyond anyone’s imagination.
“Retreat!”
After thinking for a long time, Shen Hong suddenly ordered the retreat.
They only saw the Army that was originally attacking the city retreating rapidly like a tide.
On the city wall.
When su Mingyang saw this scene, he couldn’t help but say, “”Marquis, should we take this opportunity to kill Shen Hong?”
“If he retreats, then let him retreat. The city is enough.”
Marquis beiyun was calm and did not care about Shen Hong’s retreat.
The thing he had promised the Imperial court was to protect the city under his feet from being broken through by rebels.
As for the other matters, they had nothing to do with the North cloud Manor.
Su Mingyang and the others also understood Marquis of North cloud’s meaning, and their faces revealed some smiles.
They were afraid that their Lord would truly swear his loyalty to the Imperial court to the point where he would not even care about the lives of his brothers.
But now, it seemed like …
Things were not that bad yet.
