There were only two possibilities.
Either he had encountered an enemy more powerful than himself,
or he had fallen into a trap orchestrated by the Undying Blood Clan.
Lin Yi felt that the second possibility was more likely.
However, regardless of the possibility, the troops led by the Canglong Army Commander were probably heavily damaged by the Undying Blood Clan.
"There may be great danger ahead, Lin Yi, are you sure you want to continue?" Lu Qingcheng asked solemnly as she looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, "Retreating in the face of adversity is not my style."
"Moreover, if the troops of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty really are in trouble, we should go and see."
He was counting on the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty’s army to sweep away the Undying Blood Clan from the Eastern Domain and restore a sanctuary of peace—how could he just let it be defeated.
Lu Qingcheng’s eyebrows were still tightly furrowed, she could already foresee the danger through the Star Observation Technique, but she also understood the principle of seeking fortune amid dangers.
Her gaze then fell on General Wu, "General Wu, immediately send a message back to the Ministry of War’s military base and report the situation to Lord Grand Minister."
"We continue moving forward to see what trouble the Canglong Army Commander has really encountered."
General Wu bowed his hands and immediately sent the message back to the Eastern Domain base.
This was to prepare for both possibilities, just in case they couldn’t help and instead got caught themselves, the base could then send reinforcements to rescue them.
Outside the city, corpses were piled up into mountains.
Both from the Human Clan and the Undying Blood Clan.
Many of the Human Clan warriors’ bodies had dried up, their blood energy completely drained.
There were also corpses of the Undying Blood Clan—perhaps due to their strong life force, they were almost all mangled and torn into pieces.
There were dismembered limbs everywhere, the scene was extremely bloody, some were not yet fully dead, still wailing and moaning.
The troops of the Ministry of War led by the Canglong Army Commander were trapped in Black Stone City.
Around the city, it was densely crowded with the Undying Blood Clan’s soldiers, encircling Black Stone City tightly.
The soldiers of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty inside the city all wore anxious expressions and were filled with exhaustion.
They had already endured several attacks by the Undying Blood Clan on the city, with heavy casualties, they had just managed to hold onto Black Stone City.
But, the attacking waves of the Undying Blood Clan were getting higher and higher, if allowed to continue, Black Stone City was bound to fall!
At that moment, a middle-aged man carrying a long sword appeared on the city wall, two soldiers immediately bowed to him, "Tyrant Blade Saint General."
The Tyrant Blade Saint General, acting as the Deputy Commander of this military force of the Ministry of War, temporarily commanded in place of the Canglong Army Commander.
In the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty’s Military Department, to be ordained as a Saint General, one generally must possess at least the cultivation of a Semi-Saint.
Tyrant Blade Saint General surveyed the surroundings outside the city, his expression suddenly turned grave, because the Undying Blood Clan’s battle line seemed to have advanced forward by several meters, constantly pressing closer.
This put him, as the Deputy Commander, under unprecedented pressure.
"Lord of Army, has been trapped in that Seven Kills Blood God Array for four days now."
Tyrant Blade Saint General let out a heavy sigh, looking at the Blood Cloud not far in the sky, that Blood Cloud was precisely the Seven Kills Blood God Array set up by the Undying Blood Clan.
From that Blood Cloud, destructive waves were continuously released, enough to obliterate a Venerable, and even a Semi-Saint might find it difficult to escape unscathed.
This was the Undying Blood Clan’s ambush set up here.
The Undying Blood Clan used all the Human Clan captives in Black Stone City as bait, drawing them here and then activating the Killing Array, trapping the Canglong Army Commander inside.
The Canglong Army Commander was not someone so easily eliminated, being the Army Commander of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty’s Ministry of War, but having been trapped in the Seven Kills Blood God Array for four days, there still was no sign of breaking the formation.
This caused some concern for the Canglong Army Commander among them.
This time, a Saint from the Undying Blood Clan was also manipulating the Seven Kills Blood God Array, they might not lack the ability to kill the Canglong Army Commander.
Tyrant Blade Saint General said solemnly, "The Dragon Horn has already sounded, hoping to attract high-ranking experts from the Human Clan to help us escape this predicament."
With their abilities, rescuing the Canglong Army Commander and breaking through the encirclement was simply impossible.
However, many high-ranking experts from the Human Clan entered the Eastern Domain Battlefield to participate in the Holy War, and upon hearing the sound of the Dragon Horn, they would surely come at the fastest speed.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Just as Tyrant Blade Saint General was eagerly anticipating the arrival of reinforcements, a thunderous sound of war drums suddenly rose from outside the city, causing Tyrant Blade Saint General and the leaders of the Ministry of War in Black Stone City to turn pale.
The Undying Blood Clan’s attack had begun again...
From all four directions of Black Stone City, the armies of the Undying Blood Clan appeared, covering the sky and earth like a thick curtain of Blood Cloud, like locusts passing through, sweeping towards Black Stone City.
"Fighting to the death!"
With a "clang" sound, Tyrant Blade Saint General’s expression sharply changed, and he let out a loud shout. He drew his long sword from his body and slashed a heaven-tearing and earth-splitting Sword Light towards the Blood Cloud in front!
