Zhenwu Temple. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
As the ancestral court of the Dachang Daoist Sect, it is said to have more than one hundred thousand disciples.
On the road leading to Zhenwu Mountain, an old man riding backwards on a donkey held a wine gourd, occasionally taking a sip with relish.
Suddenly, he turned the wine gourd upside down, but not a drop of wine came out.
Regretfully smacking his lips, he patted the donkey which then trotted up the mountain with small, quick steps, unobstructed; all the disciples of Zhenwu Temple seemed as if they did not see it at all.
In the end, the old man riding backwards on the donkey arrived at the Zhenwu Hall.
At that time, inside the hall, several of Zhenwu Temple’s top brass were discussing important matters.
When the donkey clippity-clopped its way into the hall, everyone was pleasantly surprised and hurried to their feet to greet him: "Greetings, Ancestor Master."
The people present felt a bit awkward.
The old man sitting astride backwards patted the donkey; the donkey quickly turned around to face its rear towards the people, swishing its tail.
"What was a good situation, how did you mess it up ?"
The old man coldly huffed.
"Ancestor Master, it’s because there were issues from Ning Prince Mansion’s end, which led to the failure of disrupting that national divine artifact."
An elder of Zhenwu Temple said.
"The matter has come to this point; there are no other better solutions. You must be careful."
The old man sighed and took something out of his bosom, which turned out to be a small Array Plate.
"This object, take good care of it. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary, or it will bring endless trouble."
He said and tossed the Array Plate.
"Yes, Ancestor Master."
The Zhenwu Temple elder quickly caught it, recognizing the origin of the Array Plate, and immediately nodded with a solemn expression.
If they fail this time, it might be a catastrophe for the entire Sheep Horn Domain.
Once again, great commotion arose in the Ning Prince Mansion’s camp.
The Martial Arts Armies from both Yan King Mansion and Night King Mansion believed that the Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels could not bear it any longer and were going to attack again.
But unexpectedly, the Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels abandoned their camp and began to retreat in battle formation.
This scene left both Yan King Mansion and Night King Mansion confused, fearing it was a feint, so they did not cross the river to pursue and kill immediately.
When continuous reports came back confirming that Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels were indeed retreating.
Only then did the Martial Arts Armies of Night King Mansion, Yan King Mansion, and Fan Royal Mansion begin to cross the river, but it was too late to catch up with Ning Prince Mansion’s hastily retreating rebels.
Moreover, they did not intend to pursue, but just to occupy the original camp of Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels to prevent them from returning.
However, a day later, an imperial order came from the Imperial Family, demanding that the Martial Arts Armies of the three major mansions pursue the Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels overnight to prevent the rebels from entering the capital.
This command stunned the three princes who were present on the battlefield.
After the retreat of Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels, they were planning to attack Jade City?
Just as all the Martial Arts Armies of Ning Prince Mansion gathered and advanced towards Jade City, in several other territories against the king in Dachang, a large number of Martial Arts Armies also gathered and started marching towards Jade City in a mighty procession.
Although the Imperial Family mobilized all its forces to block the armies of the various rebel kings.
The ceaseless armies of the rebel kings bypassed fortress after fortress without leaving any way out, merging into a torrent sweeping over, and even the Imperial Family’s trump Martial Arts Armies guarding Jade City could not stop the armies’ blades of the rebel kings.
As for the Martial Arts Armies on the distant borders, even if they were called back, it was already too late.
What’s more, they couldn’t be called back.
The neighboring Xia Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom suddenly made moves, unexpectedly sending troops to block the passes at this time.
"The Ning Prince Mansion’s troops are retreating?"
"The Ning Prince Mansion’s rebels are entering the capital to show allegiance?"
"All the rebel kings under the heavens have already gathered their armies and are marching to the capital to show allegiance, and Jade City is about to fall into a major battle?"
Li Qian received several pieces of news one after another in the last half a month.
He was a bit shocked.
The situation changed too rapidly, didn’t it?
He was somewhat dizzy and couldn’t understand at all.
No way, he had too little information, only knowing what was openly available.
"However, it has nothing to do with me for the time being. The most important thing for me now is to break through my Sword Intent to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level."
Li Qian shook his head.
Such a situation of the world, before breaking through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level, he had no capacity to interfere.
So he didn’t even think of going to Jade City to watch the excitement.
He just wanted to mind his own business, quietly cultivating by ringing the bell.
His current cultivation was a bit slow, progressing at the Early Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm once every fifteen days.
It would take four years to break through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.
However, the most important thing was still his Sword Intent... Stuck at 99, it was somewhat uncomfortable.
His current state of mind had touched that membrane more and more frequently and more clearly.
He had a feeling that if he could break through this membrane, entering the Heavenly Phenomenon Level would be as easy as turning his hand.
The rebel camp stretched for a hundred miles, besieging Jade City so tightly that not even water could escape.
This army of millions of rebels, with their Military Heart and Battle Intent gathered, moved majestically like dark clouds pressing down.
Inside Jade City, a large number of Martial Arts Armies loyal to the Imperial Family also gathered.
The battle had not yet started, but the terrifying intent of war collided in the sky, with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surging like the coming of the apocalypse.
The top Heavenly Persons from the five major rebellious kings and three major sects gathered here.
"Gentlemen, this battle is of great importance; we must break through Jade City in one fell swoop. Therefore, the first battle is the decisive battle."
Yan King, the foremost among the five rebel kings, spoke in a deep voice.
