Chapter 1375: Fuyao

Senior Guanyan once said, if unexpected events occurred,That Star Tower, transformed into a starry ring wrapped around Jiang Wang's wrist,Would carry him back whence he came,Or to other worlds corresponding to the Seven Stars.

Of course, now that Senior Guanyan has achieved Star Lordship,He naturally need not follow the old path.With a mere sweep of his sleeve, boundless Jade Balance starlightEnveloped Jiang Wang and bore him away.Truly, an immeasurable might.Though the process was somewhat hasty...

This was a journey of extreme distance,And unlike the previous two,Whether within the Seven Star Tower or Senior Guanyan's Star Tower,This time, Jiang Wang traversed the void in his physical body.To pierce the distances of time and space with pure flesh,This is a power far beyond the reach of Outer Mansion cultivators.Naturally, the starlight around Jiang Wang...Enveloped him far too tightly.During the journey, he would encounter no difficulties requiring his physical body to face.The Jade Balance starlight was so dense it almost solidified into tangible form,Jiang Wang, within the brilliant starlight,Actually had no leisure to admire the cosmic scenery.Because... he was undergoing starlight refinement of his body.

The first step for most cultivators after achieving the Outer MansionIs to draw upon the light of their Saintly Tower, located in the distant starry sky,To refine their physical body with starlight.The physical bodies of Outer Mansion cultivators are generallyA level stronger than those of Inner Palace cultivators, precisely for this reason.But the final step of Jiang Wang's Starlight Saintly Tower came too suddenly,Formed with a casual grasp from Master Guanyan...He himself was bewildered, all his reactions a beat too slow.Only now, on the journey back to the mundane world,Did the process of natural body refinement begin.

Body refinement can only be achieved using the starlight one controls.So even though his Star Tower stands at the core of the Jade Balance star,He cannot directly refine his body with the vast amount of starlightCurrently enveloping him...Nor is it particularly necessary.Because the Star Power emanating from the first Star Tower he establishedIs too surging at this moment!Outer Mansion Star Power surged through every corner of his body,Jiang Wang constantly drew upon his Dao Yuan to integrate with it,Later finding it necessary to unfold the Light of Divine Abilities to assist in sorting.Even with his utmost effort, he couldn't refine it all,There was no sign of the Star Power deficiency mentioned by senior practitioners.He knew not whether it was because he was still very close to his Star Tower at this time,Or because this Star Tower was of too high quality, its power too strong.

This sensation was very peculiar,Jiang Wang, within the sea-like starlight缠绕 him,Distinctly felt his own Star Tower,Gradually receding into the distance.From this point forward, in the vast universe,He had a clear beacon.In the sense of time and space, it was indeed growing more distant,But in the process of starlight body refinement,He felt himself growing closer and closer to the Star Tower.It was as though it were an extension of his will,Another form of his existence in the boundless cosmos.

He did not know if others felt the same way about their Starlight Saintly Tower,He felt his own Star Tower as if it were another self.There was a sense of fulfillment from within,Not merely a support in terms of power,But also a reliance in terms of will.The conviction he had held throughout this journeyWould be validated upon the Starlight Saintly Tower,Ultimately becoming "true," becoming "Dao."

"Since ancient times, the Lian Zhen star has been the most difficult to discern,"This star is ever-changing and unpredictable,Yet Jiang Wang anchored it with the character "Xìn" (Trust/Faith),Which was indeed fitting.Especially since his "Xìn" was not a castle in the air,But a principle he had always practiced,Furthermore, it was solidified and very convincing.Of course, the Dragon God suppressed within the towerAlso contributed greatly to this Star Tower...

As Guanyan achieved the rank of Jade Balance Star Lord,The formation that had confined the Dragon God in this voidWas silently erased.Jade Balance, after all, would not remain fixed in one place,It once again contracted into a point of light, and then disappeared.Jiang Wang's cyan seven-story Star Tower, established above Jade Balance,Also returned to the starry sky.Of course, it remained within the core range of the concept of Jade Balance,Bathed in the purest Jade Balance starlight...It was like moving into the imperial palace in Linzi.

Upon the Star Lord Jade Balance's natal star,Guanyan held Xiao Fan's hand and strolled through the lush forest sea.The sunlight was just right, casting dappled light and shadowThrough the gaps in the branches and leaves.A squirrel curled into a ball of fur,Rolled on the ground and landed in front of another squirrel.Two birds nestled together on a branch...Time stood still here,And time became gentle from this moment on.

Guanyan stopped and said, "I seem to have forgotten something."Xiao Fan asked with concern, "Is it important?""In my life, what is important, very important, most important..."Guanyan looked at her bright eyes and couldn't help but smile again,"It is all before me."

In the mundane world, the Star-Moon Plain battlefield.The war, which had lasted for a full seven days,Had transformed this place into a living hell.Since ancient times, "a general's success is built upon ten thousand bleached bones,"This saying has become a poignant commentary on the brutality of war.But in reality, where someone succeeds, someone else fails.More despairing than a general's success upon ten thousand bleached bones,Is ten thousand bleached bones without success achieved.Is this the most tragic fate?Xiang Country's Grand Pillar State, Lian Jingzhi,And Xu Country's Grand Marshal, Fang You,Perhaps have a different answer.On the Star-Moon Plain, they had committed hundreds of thousands of soldiers,Hundreds of thousands of their countrymen,Hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave men of their nations...The outcome of this war, however, was irrelevant to them.They could only wait upon their high general's platforms,Watching in silence.Like statues, they had no function left but that of statues.As if it had nothing to do with them, and indeed, they were powerless.They could only watch in this manner.

"Standing on such a high general's platform... Isn't it cold?"Lian Yuchan thought to herself.She felt cold.Especially gazing at the battlefield in the distance,That chill, seemingly seeping from the deepest parts of her soul,Made her want to flee several times—Battle formations gnawing at battle formations,Banners confronting banners.The soldiers of Xiang and Xu Countries were locked in a chaotic struggle,Already difficult to distinguish from one another.Every moment, people fell,A military saber ending a life,A head, punctuating a period of existence.Not for one day was it like this, not for two days.In just seven days, the front-line soldiersHad been replenished seventeen times!The core battlefield always maintained a scale of nearly one hundred thousand people.People were constantly falling, and constantly being replaced.Continuously, filling it with blood and souls.What kind of war is this?

For the prodigies of Qi and Jing,This was a relatively brutal competitive game,Or perhaps, a grand training exerciseTo hone their military talents.But for Xiang and Xu Countries...This was war.The most brutal, the most real war imaginable.A war that caused vivid lives to wither and fall.Painful wails, furious roars, the clash of metal...These were the sounds of war,They echoed in her ears, yet seemed so distant.The twin swords at her waist hummed,If she could, she truly wanted to draw her swords and charge forward.But she could not.

"Grand Pillar State." Lian Yuchan spoke,"When will this battle end?"She had tried her best to keep her voice calm,But it still trembled slightly due to the humming of the swords...She thought she could no longer stand still.

"Until everyone is dead." Lian Jingzhi said indifferently.He was not performing a show of determination,He was merely stating a fact.Of course, there was another possibility for the end of the war—But neither Qi nor Jing Country could choose to surrenderIn such a localized war.Therefore, this battle must endOnly when one side's soldiers are exhaustedAnd their prodigies are completely subdued.Now, the Xiang Country side had not many soldiers left to replenish,The same was true for the Xu Country side.

Lian Yuchan, helmeted and armored,Gripped her twin swords tightly with both hands,Her voice trembling as she said,"This subordinate feels unwell, I shall not watch further,And request permission to withdraw first."

"Stand still. Lian Yuchan, who permitted you to abandon your post?"Lian Jingzhi's voice remained calm and unperturbed.But by emphasizing the word "post," he had already invoked military law.

"This is my, Lian Jingzhi's, shame.I have no right to escape.You are my, Lian Jingzhi's, daughter,You also have no right to escape.You must witness firsthandHow our Xiang Country soldiers die,So that when you are in charge in the future,You can prevent similar occurrences."

Lian Yuchan pursed her lips, remaining silent,And did not move a step.

From the day the war officially began,Until now, the two warring sidesHave consistently maintained a scale of one hundred thousand peopleIn the core battlefield, constantly reinforcing and fiercely fighting.This is the most brutal tactic,Because the most people will die.All soldiers will be sent in bit by bit,And then disappear bit by bit.

But at the same time,This is also the most effective form of warTo temper the prodigies of both sides.The Qi side is divided into ten camps,The Jing side into twenty teams.Dozens of prodigies from both sidesCommand their troops in this core battlefield,Engaging in round after round of fierce combat.

Tonight, the starlight was still brilliant,And there were still a large number of suspended lamps,Illuminating this place like daytime,Without sight of stars or moon.These small contraptions developed by the Mohist schoolAre very suitable for battlefields with a large number of ordinary people.Night would not become a safe barrier,War would erupt at any moment,Continuing in every corner.The Star-Moon Plain no longer held its former beauty,The central part had already become a massive flesh and blood grinder.What was thrown in were soldiers,What flowed out was flesh, blood, and shattered bones.

It is said that human life is of utmost importance,But when human life is worthless,It is also the most worthless.Who is not someone's child,Who does not have a family behind them?But on the battlefield,There is only mud mixed with blood,Corpses piled upon corpses...It is even difficult to identify who is who.

A stray arrow, flying from who knows where,Pierced a suspended lamp hanging in the sky.This suspended lamp, tied with purple flag cloth,Fell abruptly, like a bird with a broken wing.*Splosh!*Its frame scattered.A military boot stepped on it,And the residual light of the lamp was extinguished.The owner of the military boot was a young manWho was roaring in fury.He wore the military uniform of Xu Country,His face frighteningly red from the surge of blood,He gripped his battle saber tightly with both hands,And chopped forward fiercely!It was clear that he was still a new recruit,Completely unaware of how to conserve energy.Perhaps he had undergone much training,But on the true battlefield, he had completely forgotten all that...He needed to truly fight a few timesBefore that training could become instinct,Transforming him into a seasoned veteran—if he could survive.

The blade was parried by the horizontal saber of a Xiang Country soldier facing him.This was a middle-aged man,With typical Xiang Country features.High cheekbones, slightly curly hair.This person was far more experienced,Easily parrying the saber with a casual block,His body already crouching forward.The military saber followed with an arc,Lightly slashing towards the opponent's abdomen.This saber strike required only four parts of his strength.After piercing the abdomen, he could simply step awayTo avoid being wounded by a dying counterattack,His opponent could only clutch his spilling intestines and await death.The Xiang Country veteran was absolutely certain of this,His eyes already glancing towards the next target—But suddenly, a sharp pain in his brow, and he knew nothing more.

This is the battlefield, where anyone can die.Regardless of whether you are a veteran or a new recruit,A good person or a bad person,A father or a child,Death treats everyone equally.It was an arrow that killed him.The arrowhead was like a wolf's fang,With an extremely cold glint.From an unbelievable angle,It traversed the battlefield,And fiercely struck the veteran's forehead.Its remaining force undiminished, it sent the corpse flying high,Carrying the entire person back several zhang,Colliding with five other people.Killing a person with one arrow is not difficult,Piercing the forehead with one arrow is also not difficult,What is difficult is to kill a person with one arrow without piercing through,Sending the corpse flying horizontally,And even disrupting the enemy formation...What is difficult is this vision and precision!

The young Xu Country soldier, having skirted death,Before recovering from his shock,He heard a military order by his ear:"Formation One!"This was a heroic and powerful voice,Landing in his ears, immediately calming his mindAnd making him dare not disobey.Following the training of these past few days,He quickly gathered with nearby comrades,Forming "Formation One."This formation was very simple,Almost a single line and two vertical columns,Already firmly ingrained in their physical instincts.Holding his saber, gazing forward.Although he did not understand military formations,He vaguely felt that, compared to before,The opposing formation seemed to have become somewhat scattered,No longer that suffocating density.

His gaze shifted backward from this simple military formation,And he could see Li Longchuan,The direct descendant of the Shi Men Li Clan,Holding the famous bow, Qiushan!The jade belt wrapped around his forehead was already stained with blood,Adding a touch of sternness to his heroic demeanor.Killing a person with a single arrow was rare in war,But if it was his arrow, killing a mere foot soldier was too wasteful.Li Longchuan was naturally not someone who could only kill foot soldiers with arrows,His camp, since entering the formation in this rotation,Had been fighting for three hours.In these three hours, he had led his men,Seemingly only in simple arrowhead formations,Charging and striking fiercely here and there on the battlefieldWithout any apparent purpose.But in reality, the enemy's two well-functioning battle formations,Under his seemingly aimless attacks,Constantly adjusted, constantly adjusted,And finally intertwined.

If it had ended there, the leader of the opposing forcesWas also a prodigy,Who could quickly readjust.However, the Xiang Country veteranWho was stuck at the edge of the two battle formationsWas shot dead by an arrow, and his corpseEven knocked away five people...Li Longchuan's side then simply shifted formation and pressed forward,The two opposing military formationsBoth simultaneously showed signs of collapse!One must know that on the battlefield,Having a military formation or notIs a completely different concept.Because it is the dividing line between ordinary soldiers and extraordinary power.Within a military formation, mortal bodies can contend with the extraordinary.Outside a military formation, no matter how many people there are,They are not enough for extraordinary cultivators to slaughter.

The Jing Country prodigies were greatly alarmed,And quickly adjusted their military formations.This formation, on the verge of collapsing,Fell into a pair of bright eyes.Beneath the tall Qiankun Roaming Dragon Banner,Chen Suan, a prodigy of Penglai Island,Commanding two teams of five thousand soldiers,Held the rear.Traversing the chaotic battlefield where nearly a hundred thousand troops clashed,His eyes held the calmness that saw through everything.He clearly saw Li Longchuan's performance.He saw how, after three hours of pulling and maneuvering,He simply shot and killed a small soldier with an arrow,And then with a simple change in formation,The battle situation was already different!Under Li Longchuan's constant maneuvering,That area had become a gap in the two Jing Country formations,With even a clear possibility of spreading.If it were to be torn open from this point,The entire battle situation would be in danger of collapse.

"A descendant of the Shi Men Li Clan." Chen Suan thought faintly."Order Ming Fu Cheng to bring his men into the formation in half an hour,Target the Xun 4 position,At all costs, hold the Xun 4 and Xun 5 positions."Nothing could escape his eyes,And nothing would exceed his calculations.Therefore, his voice was very calm.But this calm voice soon rippled:"No, go now!"What did he see?He saw Li Longchuan's camp,Splitting into three with extreme fluidity,Forming three simple formations.But these three simple formations,After a slight adjustment,Immediately formed a terrifying battle formation!Such a battle formation should never appearIn this level of war.Because the prodigies on both sidesDid not have so much time to familiarize themselves with their subordinates,Did not have so much time to train and practice...But Li Longchuan had done it!His ability to train troops was secondary.He used three simple formationsTo disassemble and assemble what should have been a complex military formation.At a young age, he already possessed the ability to analyze military formations!The standard-bearer quickly waved the command flag,Modifying the order.All secret arts are subject to being deciphered.With a surge of military煞 (fierce aura) and chaotic elemental energy,Many Daoist arts are difficult to form.On the battlefield, flag signals are always the most reliable method of command.

"Order Xu San's team to disengage from the fierce combatAnd retreat to the Zhen 5 position.He will know what to do specifically." Chen Suan commanded again.The standard-bearer had just issued the flag signal,When Chen Suan's order sounded again."Tell Wang Kun to bring up the Xiāo Hǔ chariots,Station them at the Li 2 position,When I order him to charge, he is to ram directly!"After issuing three consecutive military orders,Chen Suan gently shook his head,Finally having the leisure to sigh,"Should I say, worthy of being a descendant of the City-Shattering Marquis?"

Among the standard military equipment under heaven,War chariots are foremost.Among war chariots under heaven, those of Chu Country are the finest.Five people per chariot, they are practically mobile battle formations,Undisputed great killing weapons.But Jing Country's Xiāo Hǔ chariotsWould not lose by much to Chu Country's.This time on the Star-Moon Plain battlefield,Only twenty were brought,All within Wang Kun's team.Chen Suan was placing a heavy wager,Intending to forcefully stifle the descendant of the City-Shattering MarquisWho had suddenly begun to exert his power.It was regrettable that at this time, those driving the Xiāo Hǔ chariotsWere not strong soldiers of Jing Country.Although these Xiang Country soldiers had also undergone intensive training,They could not control them as desired...

Such thoughts flashed through his mind,Chen Suan watched the battlefield with indifference.On the relentlessly clashing battlefield,Li Longchuan held his bow in one hand,Plucked the string with the other, and strode forward.If one ignored the sounds of screams and the bloody scenes,It was not like fighting on a battlefield,But rather like sitting and playing a zither in front of one's home.Too confident, too composed.At this moment, Li Longchuan wasShining with a sharpness quite unlike his usual demeanor.

"Formation One advance!""Formation Two follow up!""Formation Three move left!"As he spoke, arrows flew swiftly,Killing enemy soldiers while quickly directing his own camp's soldiers.The extremely lethal Armor-Shattering FormationHad been broken down by him into the simple formations One, Two, and Three,And his subordinate soldiers had firmly memorized themDuring the war of these past few days.Armor-Shattering means breaking the enemy's thick defenses.When the three formations combine, it is a rough version of the Armor-Shattering Formation.This is not a famous formation under heaven,But on the Star-Moon Plain battlefield,It was enough to sweep away most of the opponent's military formations.The two opposing military formations were still rapidly adjusting,As soon as his Armor-Shattering Formation pressed forward,It broke them in one swift strike!

"Formation One retreat!""Formation Two push forward!""Formation Three gather to the right!"After breaking two formations consecutively,Li Longchuan did not choose to expand the gains,But immediately adjusted his formation,Charging extremely fiercely towards the Jing Country Fu Cheng unitAttacking from the front left.The soldiers' vitality condensed into military煞,Military formations collided with military formations,The Armor-Shattering Formation shattered the Scale Formation.Battle sabers clashed against battle sabers,Blood splattered upon blood.

Under the Subtle Insight, all traces were inescapable.Li Longchuan drew his Qiushan bow to its fullest,An arrow flew out like a leaping dragon,Roaring as it faced Fu Cheng, who was clad in chainmail!Fu Cheng led his army forward,Originally prepared to wait for the enemy to tire,Unexpectedly, the opponent's formation changed so quickly,Their attack so fierce...He had to step aside,Temporarily avoiding the sharpness.

*Rumble!*Amidst the ten thousand armies,Suddenly, thunder erupted!From directly in front of Li Longchuan's unit,A tall war chariot with chilling ramming blades,Leapt out like a fierce tiger,Crossing their field of vision.Then came the second, the third...Their momentum was like fierce tigers unleashed from their cages,Meeting a forest of opposing blades and spears.Jing Country's Xiāo Hǔ chariots!Precisely Wang Kun's unit!But at this moment, Li Longchuan's unit,Which had already rammed into Fu Cheng's unit on the front left,Suddenly condensed its military煞, becoming one body,Transforming into a gigantic sharp arrow,Directly piercing through Fu Cheng's unit,And departing gracefully.The completely chaotic formation of Fu Cheng's subordinate soldiersBecame a natural barrier.Wang Kun's Xiāo Hǔ chariots charged forward with imposing momentum,But hit nothing,And could only watch helplessly as Li Longchuan's unitQuickly approached the Qi side's ranks.

"What a pity!"Li Longchuan and Chen Suan, separated by the battlefield,Almost simultaneously sighed.Li Longchuan regretted that he had finally found an opportunityAnd created a gap, only to have it swiftly filledBy Chen Suan's deployment of troops.Chen Suan regretted...He regretted that Fu Cheng was cowardlyAnd failed to stop the opponent.He regretted that Wang Kun was greedy for merit!He attacked without waiting for his orders,Xu San's unit had not yet reached the predetermined position,The pocket had not yet been formed,And a big fish was allowed to escape alive!This move with the Xiāo Hǔ chariots was wasted.On such a fierce battlefield,Every piece on the board must achieve its purpose,Otherwise, it is a huge waste.Especially a piece as important as the Xiāo Hǔ chariots,Wang Kun was committing a crime!But this was not the time to settle scores.Chen Suan could only suppress his anger,Quickly reorganize his forces,And mend the gaps where the two teams had been broken.

Standing on the Xiāo Hǔ chariot, Wang Kun's face was ashen,He glanced resentfully at Fu Cheng,Muttering "cowardly brigand,"And immediately turned the chariot to leave.But he knew very well in his heartThat he himself had made a greater mistake just now,And Chen Suan would absolutely not overlook this mistake.The localized battlefield, which had just been a chaotic struggle,Now only had the remnants of Fu Cheng's unit.He gritted his teeth and reorganized his troops,It was true that his unit had been easily pierced,And he had nothing to defend himself with.

The entire Star-Moon Plain battlefield was interlocked,How could life and death be only a single moment?Li Longchuan had indeed led his army in a spectacular charge,But the impact on the overall battle situationWas actually quite unremarkable.The two broken formations would soon be replenished,Until the last drop of blood was exhausted,This war would not end easily.That's why Li Longchuan wanted to tear open the entire battle situation so desperately!It was a pity that Chen Suan easily sealed it.

In this war, the organizational structures of the Qi and Jing sides were different.The Qi side's ten camps each acted independently and cooperated with each other.The Jing side's twenty teams were all under Chen Suan's command.In extraordinary warfare, it is difficult to say which is superior.Unified command can certainly be considered an advantage,But allowing the major prodigies to showcase their unique talentsAnd compete with their exclusive geniusIs actually more conducive to training military skills.Although the main reason is that there was no prodigy on the Qi sideWho could suppress everyone and thus unify command,Yet fighting in the current manner,After seven days of war,Neither side has achieved a decisive victory.

A Wu is an ordinary person of Xu Country.Ordinary age, ordinary background,Ordinary service as a soldier earning the emperor's pay.To be honest, he didn't know the meaning of this war.He didn't know why he had to fight,Didn't know why he had to risk his life.But meaning, that kind of thing,Is not important in the first place.His father was a soldier,He grew up and also became a soldier,That was all.He loved his country, of course he did,How much, he couldn't say.Whether Xu Country was large or small, strong or weak,He would not leave the country's borders.He didn't have much feeling about it.When the general said charge, he charged,When the general said stop, he stopped.The fear of weeping on his cot before the war began,He had long forgotten.On the battlefield, when his eyes were red from killing,There was no such thing as fear.Either kill or be killed.Here, the relationship between peopleWas even simpler than the relationship between people and pigs.He advanced, he swung his saber, he killed.He repeated this,Until the military order told him to stop,Or until he himself fell.

When the person who looked like a general charged towards him,He knew it was over.This was what his father said,Life and death are destined, his time had come.An ordinary soldier like himCould not withstand the opponent's single strike.But he still instinctively swung his saber upwards,This was the instinct formed by countless swings.This should be the peak strike of his life!The result was as he expected,This powerful and heavy strike missed its mark.And the opponent's saberLightly grazed his chest.He couldn't even see how that strike had come!Is it over?Aside from eating, farming, and being a soldier,He seemed to have done nothing else.What was my life for?A Wu had never thought about this question,He didn't know why, at this moment,In this place absolutely unsuitable for contemplating life,He remembered this question.Ordinary him, had no answer.

Just as he had thought, he was sent flying,And fell heavily!But...He thought about not being the opponent's match,Thought about being sent flying by a single saber strike,But he never expected... that he would not die.He lay on the ground,Looked up with difficulty at his chest,And then lay back down with a sigh of relief.*Hiss!* He exhaled deeply.

And the Jing Country prodigy, Wu Jiangchen,Who had easily sent this nameless foot soldier flying with a single strike,Was equally a hundred times surprised.As a prodigy cultivator,He had merely casually struck with his saber while crossing the battlefield.Killing a nameless foot soldier, of course, did not require effort.Or rather, even using a fraction more strength would be a humiliation.He had controlled his saber's forceTo the point where it would just disembowel the opponent,Absolutely no waste of strength.But this person... was actually sent flying?Wu Jiangchen momentarily doubted his control ability!He couldn't help but turn his head to look,And saw on the body of that nameless foot soldier from Xu Country,After the battle uniform ripped open,Under the light of the suspended lamps,There were somewhat dazzling ice patterns!Wu Jiangchen now began to doubt his eyesight.Did I see wrong? Is it an illusion?A foot soldier wearing ice-patterned inner armor?This ice-patterned inner armor is at leastThe equipment of a Dudong (commander)!Wu Jiangchen had been in the military for a long time,And firmly believed he would never misjudge.If the opponent were a general of the Dudong level,His saber strike would absolutely not have used so little force.But the opponent was clearly a foot soldier?Whose subordinate is this?!

Wu Jiangchen was stunned for a moment,And when he turned his head back,What greeted him... was a dense shower of talismans."Damn!"He only had time to curse,Before being engulfed by the overwhelming talismans.Multicolor spellsClearly surrounded him.

Young Master Yan, clad in silk robes,Stood at a distance, untouched by dust,Smiling approvingly, "Very good, another round."The soldiers nearby, who had been itching for a fight,Tore open the talismans in their hands one after another.Flames, lightning, saber lightSwarmed forward.A green gourd abruptly flew out,Collecting the sky full of light and flames within it.

Jing Country prodigy Xu San came riding the wind,His sword striking out with crimson peach blossoms to block the way,He grabbed the dizzy and disoriented Wu Jiangchen,Turned around and fled.Lin Jie, a prodigy of Yi Country who served as Deputy GeneralIn Young Master Yan Fu's camp,Stood by in a daze, watching this scene,Completely unable to find an opportunity to strike,The fellow who had rashly charged into the formationHad already fled.He couldn't help but look at Young Master Yan with both surprise and admiration.I misjudged. What is Jiang Qingyang worth mentioning?The true peerless prodigy of Qi Country should be this one!

Yan Fu looked at the backs of Xu San and Wu Jiangchen,And said, "Not bad!"Lin Jie immediately explained from the side,"The one who came later is Xu San, his strength is indeed undeniable.It is said that he had a chance to go to the Yellow River Meet...""I said this gourd is not bad, I'll buy one later."Yan Fu said as he handed over a storage box,"Please distribute this box of talismans,The brothers' hands are already empty.""...Okay, General."

*Boom! Boom!*The war drums did not cease.Countless heartbeats also surged with them.*Boom! Boom!*The light of the suspended lamps,Flowed like water.On a long halberd, a brilliant light shone,Then was covered with blood.The long halberd was withdrawn and placed back on the war chariot,The blood had been wiped away,Yet it remained chilling.

"Did you see it?" Chong Xuan Sheng asked."The Xiāo Hǔ chariots?" Lin Xian said, "They are indeed killing machines."War chariots, such battlefield killing machines,Qi Country naturally also had them.This time, twenty were also deployed,But they were clearly a notch below the Xiāo Hǔ chariots.Of course, this was not a full-scale war after all,Otherwise, even the thorny boats from the Illusion Realm battlefield would be deployed,Those things are truly great killing machines.

"No." Chong Xuan Sheng shook his head, "It's Wang Kun."He said with great certainty,"This person has different ideas."Lin Xian was confident that he had some accomplishments in military strategy,But he truly did not see any problemWith the command of Wang Kun's unit just now.At most, it was a bit slow, failing to collide with Li Longchuan's unit in time,But that was also because Li Longchuan's unit charged too quickly—It must be said, Li Longchuan was truly a gifted military talent!However, not understanding did not prevent him from listening to opinions,Being humble and progressive, never stubbornly self-centered.He was already deeply impressed by Chong Xuan Sheng's vision and wisdomIn these past few days,Therefore, he did not ask why,And directly took "Wang Kun has different ideas from Chen Suan" as a conclusion,And asked, "Shall we attack him?"

Chong Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes:"Attack Lou Junlan."Lou Junlan is a Jing Country Outer Mansion prodigy!Her unit was currently fighting against Bao Bo Zhaos' unit.And their battlefield was next to Wang Kun's unit.Lin Xian did not ask Chong Xuan Sheng for his thoughts,He simply said "Okay,"And quickly organized his military formation,Leading his army forward to charge.Chong Xuan Sheng also led his own camp,Accompanied by Shi Si,Following behind unhurriedly.

This scene naturally did not escape Chen Su's eyes.This was a completely normal battlefield movement,He only glanced at it and then moved on.In his mouth, he continued to issue orders,Constantly modifying detailsOn this complex battlefield of interlocking positions with a hundred thousand people.He was very willing to respect his opponents,So every key adjustment he madeWas aimed at leaving no trace,Making it seem more like a natural evolution of the battle situation.Like a diligent fisherman mending his fishing net,Waiting for the moment when the water is deep, the fish are fat,And the entire catch is secured in one net.

No.He vaguely felt something was wrong in his heart.So he looked at the Chong Xuan family's fat young master from afar again.A regulation military formation,A regulation movement,A regulation combat strength...Logically speaking, in this generation of the Chong Xuan family,Only Chong Xuan Zun is dazzling.Since Chong Xuan Zun did not come to the Star-Moon Plain battlefield,There should be nothing to worry about.But this person could contend with the dazzling Chong Xuan Zun for the position of family head,How could he be simple?A person's strength is reflected by their opponent.

"Send Pei Hongjiu's team to Kan 5."After a brief thought, Chen Suan quickly issued the command.He did not have clairvoyance after all,And could not fully understand the opponent's thoughtsWithout more information.But he did not need to,He only needed to put himself in the opponent's perspective,Find the most likely points where problems might occur,And then target them in advance.The Pei family is a renowned family in Jing Country,Pei Hongjiu is also a dragon and a phoenix among men,With considerable ability in commanding troops.Upon receiving the order, he quickly shook off his opponent,And went directly to the Kan 5 position.Chen Suan divided the entire battlefield into Nine Palaces,Each palace further divided into nine areas,Designated specifically from Qian 1 to Qian 9.His command of the battlefield was preciseTo every team and every small area.To grasp every detail on a battlefield of nearly one hundred thousand people,This was terrifying computational power.

The movement of Pei Hongjiu's unitSeemed to ignite a signal,The situation on the entire battlefield suddenly accelerated!Chen Suan saw thatBefore Pei Hongjiu's unit could reach the Kan 5 area,Qi Country's Lei Zhan Qian's unit had already rushed over one step ahead,Occupying the space!And in that localized battlefield,Chong Xuan Sheng's unit quickly split into two,The rear formation suddenly turned around and retreated,Turning to the left-rear, directly attacking Pei Hongjiu's unit.The front formation, however, continued forwardUnder the leadership of a black-armored general,Supporting Lin Xian's camp.Lin Xian's unit at this moment suddenlyPulled open its formation,Assuming a defensive stance,Clearly intending to divide the battlefieldAnd prevent Jing Country from having the opportunity to reinforce Pei Hongjiu.This series of formation changes flowed like clouds and water,The Qi Country side had already opened a pocket for Pei Hongjiu!Was their target to swallow Pei Hongjiu?Had his orders been anticipated?These two thoughts quickly arose in Chen Suan's mind.But immediately he also noticed the unusual activityIn the Dui 7 direction."Who is charging into the formation?" He couldn't help but ask.The standard-bearer beside him, who cultivated pupil arts, also looked into the distance,Only seeing in that battlefield of blades and blood,A thousand armies of cavalry like a whirlwind,Roaring and smashing through countless walls of flesh and blood.Upon closer inspection, where were a thousand armies?Only one person!That person was extremely tall,With a long face and deep eyes,A hooked nose like an eagle's,His entire person possessed an aura that could shatter anything in his path,Constantly advancing, advancing, advancing!

"I am, Wang Yi Wu!!"The Soldier Lord's Divine Ability on the battlefieldWas simply like a dragon returning to the sea,Endless military煞 and vitality,Supported his charging and crashing, his momentum like a rainbow.A single punch was a surging thousand armies.Under his fist, there was not a single opponent who could withstand a single blow!Others watched with awe,But Wen Lianmu, who was struggling to keep up behind Wang Yi Wu,Could only sigh.Seeing Wang Yi Wu seize a battle opportunityAnd charge forward at the forefront again,He truly wanted to throw down his command on the spot!He admitted that Wang Yi Wu's grasp of battle opportunitiesWas perhaps unparalleled under heaven,In such a chaotic battle situation where various prodigies had their plans,He could still spot the location of the battle opportunity at a glance—While Wen Lianmu only understood after Wang Yi Wu had charged out.But was this any reason for a military commanderTo dislike his team being too slow and charge into the formation alone?Leading an army to charge on the battlefieldHad always been his pleasure.But leading an army to run around following the main general was not!Leading such a camp of new recruits,To maintain the integrity of the military formation,To keep up with Wang Yi Wu's pace...How difficult it was.And his refined art of commandHad hardly received any opportunities for direct confrontation—He was just leading people to run around!Was he participating in the Star-Moon Plain Great War,Or the Star-Moon Plain Running Exercise Meeting?

But what could he do?Wang Yi Wu had charged out,He could only grit his teeth,Roll up his banner, and command his subordinatesTo quickly follow.

Chen Suan quickly scanned the overall situation,Not immediately issuing orders.This was simply a chaotic battle.The entire core battlefield was interwoven,You in me, I in you.Evidently, this was precisely the effect the Qi Country side desired,In this situation of chaotic fighting,They could maximize the independent flexibility of the Qi Country's ten camps,And greatly disrupt his command.And this situation had already appeared three days ago,It was at that time facilitated by the combined effortsOf Qi Country prodigies Bao Bo Zhao and Chao Yu's units...But it was actually also with Chen Suan's tacit permission!By now, it had formed a quagmire of flesh and blood,Neither side could easily disengage.They could only continue to invest, invest, and invest,Until one side's blood was completely drained.

"Abandon the Dui position.All reinforcement teams move to the Central Palace position,Xu San and the surrounding three teams,All press forward!" Chen Suan issued the command.The standard-bearer received the order and raised the flag.A nearby personal guard whispered a reminder,"But that is the Pei family..."Chen Suan merely said,"Our Jing Country prodigies do not die so easily,The rest... is not important."The personal guard stopped speaking.

"Order Wang Kun's unitTo charge directly at Wang Yi Wu's unit!Use these twenty Xiāo Hǔ chariotsTo pin Wang Yi Wu there!The rest... act according to the original plan!"After issuing the final command,Chen Suan slowly drew his long sword,And simply said, "Form the formation!"The two teams of soldiers behind him, who had been waiting for a long time,Instantly surged with vitality, forming a military formation,Shaking the military煞, transforming into a Yin-Yang fish.Chen Suan formed the formation,Personally leading his army into the fray,Like blowing the final horn.In the entire core battlefield, the quagmire of flesh and blood,The Jing Country side, with two teams as one formation,Directly transformed their military煞 into tangible forms,Either dragons or tigers.The Qi Country's ten camps also reacted almost simultaneously,Military煞 surged, like blades or spears.

Military formations are certainly powerful.Especially the step of surging military煞 and transforming into tangible forms to charge and kill,It is a killing move within killing moves.For example, Li Longchuan's rapid penetration of Jing Country's Fu Cheng unit earlierUsed this move.However, in the process of transforming military煞 into tangible forms to charge and kill,If a soldier is even slightly careless,They will fall out of the military formation.Ordinary soldiers in this situationCan only die.Furthermore, the vitality of soldiers is limited,So methods like transforming military煞 into tangible formsAre generally used as decisive moves,Only brought out at critical junctures.But at this moment, twenty groups of military煞 transformed into tangible forms,The fierce aura swept across the sky and earth!Even Lian Jingzhi and Fang You on the general's platforms on both sidesCouldn't help but become serious.Although the outcome of this battle lay with Qi and Jing,The result of the victory or defeat still held a great differenceFor their Xiang and Xu Countries.

Golden spears and iron horses, the killing intent filling the sky.At this time, it was Qi Country's fierce attack,Their momentum like a rainbow.It was also the moment Chen Suan decided to conclude the battle.Similarly, at this moment.Wang Yi Wu had seized the battle opportunity he desired,Chong Xuan Sheng had created the opening he needed,Li Longchuan's Subtle Insight reached a thousand li,Bao Bo Zhao's heavenly eyes were like lightning,Both saw the gap in the war...This war had already lasted for a full seven days,With over two hundred thousand soldiers killed on both sides.Until this moment, both Jing Country and Qi CountrySaw the opportunity for a decisive victory.The true outcome of victory or defeatSometimes lies only in a single moment's clash.

But at this time...A brilliant star suddenly illuminated the sky!It's not that there were no stars tonight,Tonight's Star-Moon Plain was still full of starlight,But it had already been obscured by the light of the suspended lamps.And at this moment, this star was extremely dazzling,Not only surpassing all other stars,But also suppressing the light of the suspended lamps,Clearly displaying the aura of the rising sun!

Xiang Country Wan He Temple.Yu Que, sitting at the tea table, suddenly stood up:"Who dares to interfere in this battle?""Calm down, calm down." Jiang Menghong, sitting beside him, said unhurriedly,"No one is interfering in the war,It's just that a certain existenceHas sent our great Qi's prodigy... back."

Yu Que's gaze passed through the window,Looking towards the distant sky:"Jade Balance star... Your Qi Country's reach is quite long."Jiang Menghong smiled mysteriously, and did not speak.

On the Star-Moon Plain battlefield, there was a strange silence for a moment.The light was too dazzling,And the sound of tearing through the void, coming from far and near,Was already like thunder,Making it impossible to ignore.Almost all the prodigies were thinking the same question—"Who is this? Why hasn't True Monarch stopped him yet?"

*Rumble!*That brilliant starSuddenly broke through the sky,Clearly entering their field of vision with a crash.The tightly wrapped Jade Balance starlightExploded silently.Boundless starlightScattered across the sky,Falling like a meteor showerUpon this grotesque battlefield of flesh and blood.At the center of all the starlightWas a young man of extraordinary demeanor.Clad in a cyan robe with a sword hanging at his waist,He walked leisurely.On his clean eyebrows and eyes,A wisp of sharpness, a clear edge, flowed,The increasingly distinct angles, making one unforgettable at first sight.He brought a meteor shower,Drifting like a flying immortal.Amidst ten thousand lights, he was like the sun and the moon.The entire Star-Moon Plain battlefield,With the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers,Witnessed this moment together!And who did not recognize this person?The Yellow River Meet champion who contended for fame on the Guan He Stage,The first Inner Palace in the history of the Qing Dynasty,As personally certified by Yu Beidou.Not long ago, it was also he who came with his sword,Cutting down the human demon before the ten thousand armies,Drawing the Sea-Shattering Sword of the Selfless Human Demon.It was also he who first went directly to the sky,Drawing his sword against the True Monarch.Today, he unexpectedly flew in from beyond the sky?!

Jiang Wang, who had just completed his starlight body refinement,Was actually bewildered himself.Senior Guanyan waved his large sleeve,And sent him away without saying a word.He had no idea where he would be sent,Still pondering how to escape the Seven Star Valley,Working hard to complete his starlight body refinement,Also preparing to face Tian Anping...Unexpectedly, he directly descended upon the Star-Moon Plain!But since he had descended upon the Star-Moon Plain battlefield,And since the two sides were currently engaged in combat,He had no reason to hesitate.His gaze fell upon the tallest Qiankun Roaming Dragon Banner,And he directly walked across the high sky.His goal was exceptionally clear.

Within the Jing Country formation,One person immediately rose into the air.His body soaring with fiery flames,Holding a great spear in his hand,He was like a shooting star,His momentum like a long rainbow,Directly piercing the sky!It was Fu Cheng, a member of the Li Tian Mansion of Jing Country.After his military formation was rapidly shattered by Li Longchuan,He desperately needed an opportunity to prove himself!He was even unwilling to use the power of his military formation,Wanting to rely on himselfTo block this so-called first Inner Palace in history.Succeed or die trying.The longing in his eyes to wash away his shameWas more fervent than the flames burning his body.But an overly large disparity in strengthCannot be overcome by desire.

In that distant starry sky, a point of starlight suddenly illuminated,That faint starlight flashed once,And then rapidly intensified,Its light boundless, extremely dazzling.Announcing to everyone that Jiang Qingyang had reached the Outer Mansion!That Star Tower in the distant sky,At this moment, it shone brighter than all the stars in the sky!What kind of Star Tower was this?What was so extraordinary about the Outer Mansion achievedBy the first Inner Palace in history?Many people harbored questions,But they only saw—Happening simultaneously with the Star Tower illuminating the skyWas a line of starlight drawn across the heavens and earth,Seemingly stretching from one end of the battlefield to the other.Fu Cheng did not even have a chance to react,And was cut in half in the air!

And Jiang Wang's steps did not stop,He merely said, "In the Inner Palace realm, there is none to compare with me in ancient times.Now that I have established my tower beyond the heavens,Beneath the Divine Arrival realm, I shall contend for invincibility!Those who block me shall die!"

"Within a thousand armies and ten thousand horses, you dare claim invincibility?!"Chen Suan flicked his sleeve,Directly mobilizing the power of his military formation,Wrapped in military煞, he charged upward.Closest to this Qiankun Roaming Dragon BannerWas him, Chen Suan,At this moment, he naturally would not retreat.He had originally drawn his sword and formed a formation,About to play the final move in this war,But Jiang Wang, the Qi Country prodigy who had been hidden during the war,Now unexpectedly arrived from beyond the heavens,Charging directly towards the main banner.If he were not killed, how could the army's morale be boosted?Military煞 coiled around his sword,Blood Qi stained the three-foot green edge.At this moment, he was enveloped in the power of ten thousand armies,Like a god or a demon.

"Jiang Wang, come back!"Chong Xuan Sheng roared,Leading his army to rendezvous.Li Longchuan and Yan Fu alsoSurged with military煞 and charged forward directly.Lin Xian also shouted, "General, enter the formation!"The other Qi Country prodigiesAlso led their armies to charge into the formation.

Xu San's unit surged with military煞,Blocking the way.Lou Junlan, Wang Kun, Pei Hongjiu, Wu Jiangchen...The Jing Country prodigies alsoLed their armies to collide one after another.The battle of life and death paused for a moment because of Jiang Wang,And erupted again because of Jiang Wang.The choices of the Qi and Jing camps on the battlefield at this momentWere merely demonstrating a consensus—At this moment, Jiang Wang could not possibly be Chen Suan's opponent.No matter how much the first Inner Palace in history he was,He was, after all, new to the Outer Mansion.And Chen Suan, in the Outer Mansion realm,Was also an absolute prodigy powerhouse.Especially at this moment, having mobilized the military formation,His killing power was more than doubled?Therefore, the Qi army camp needed to rendezvous with Jiang Wang,Therefore, the Jing army camp needed to create space for Chen SuanTo kill this madman.

But Jiang Wang, striding proudly in the air,Did not retreat a single step.Why should he retreat?The sky full of meteor shower was still falling behind him.The Jade Balance Star Lord, or Senior Guanyan.That terrifying starlight of Jade Balance,Which had sent him back to the mundane world,He could command it to his heart's content.Why should he retreat?!

At this moment, his Star Tower became even brighter,Illuminating the night sky.Sword light shone in his eyes,Scarlet gold, indestructible,Flowing fire around his body,Frost white cape unfolded.In an instant, he had manifested the form of a Sword Immortal.And then,Hundreds of millions of starlight held this single sword,And the sword slashed down!

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Suan's eyes!This was his Divine Ability, Heavenly Secret!This Divine Ability was known as "must obtain a thread of heavenly secret."When competing with others, one must seize the initiative!It was his core Divine Ability, the foundation of his future Great Dao.Being in the Outer Mansion realm himself,He naturally clearly saw where the initiative lay,Saw the flaws in Jiang Wang's sword—There were too many flaws,Jiang Wang's sword, at first glance,Seemed to be simply a plain chop.But...The power was too surging, too vast, too unbelievable!This should not appear at the Outer Mansion level at all!Under a single sword strike, starlight surged into a river.In a trance, it was as if the Sea-Shattering Sword of Yan Chunhui from that day was replayed.Jiang Wang's sword, in essence, was an imitation of that sword.Though the technique was rough, the momentum carried a semblance of it.Of course, the main factor was the power...That terrifying starlight that tightly enveloped him,Sending him all the way back to the mundane world,Was all held within this sword by him.What kind of sword was this?A river of stars falling upon the mundane world.Sounds were obliterated, military煞 was swept away, long swords were shattered...Chen Suan fell to the ground,Holding only a sword hilt in his hand,A circle of corpses lay around him!

The fighting on the battlefieldTruly ceased at this moment.Silence all around.This war, testing the young prodigies of the two great hegemon countries,Strictly controlled the scale within a certain range,And did not allow the participation of Divine Arrival level power.But Jiang Wang had just unleashed this sword strike...How to fight?Who could take it?Unless all the Jing Country army were integratedAnd formed a military formation.But with so many people on the Qi Country side,Would they all just watch?This was a power capable of breaking the balance on the battlefield!Extraordinary warfare, sometimes,Depends only on extraordinary power,Military formations themselves are merely a composition of extraordinary power!Such a Jiang Wang was too terrifying!A single sword strike had exhausted all the starlightThat the Jade Balance Star Lord had used to send him back to the mundane world,But looking at Chen Suan, who had only managed to save his lifeBy destroying three secret treasures...Jiang Wang in his Sword Immortal state was still sharply pointed:"Chong Xuan Sheng told me that,In order to save your Jing Country's face,And to control the so-called scale of localized warfare,In this war, the number of Jing Country prodigies who dieShould ideally not exceed three.""I understand this as... I can kill three."He stood tall in the air,His gaze sweeping over the Jing Country formation with abandon,He only asked, "Then, there are two more, who shall I kill?"

The military煞 transformations had all dispersed.The battlefield of one hundred thousand people was silent.Wherever Jiang Wang's gaze fell,People lowered their heads!If this scene were to spread,Perhaps some would say, "Jing Country has a cloud of prodigies,Yet none dare face a single sword of Jiang Qingyang."

"Kill me."At this moment, a voice spoke.Chen Suan propped himself up with his bare sword hilt,Without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth,He stood up unsteadily.He looked at Jiang Wang, "If you can use that sword strike again,Then come and kill me!"

Another person stepped directly into the air,A green gourd swaying at his waist,Still with a smile on his face,He confronted Jiang Wang:"As you said, you can still kill two.Then how about leaving the remaining spot for me, Xu San?"As soon as this voice fell, another voice said,"Jiang Qingyang desires to contend for invincibility below the Divine Arrival realm,I shall assist in this grand endeavor!Come, kill me, Pei Hongjiu!""Kill me!""Kill me!""Kill me!"For a time, the Jing Country prodigies rose one after another,Each seeking death!

"Is it difficult to seek death?"Chong Xuan Sheng shook his body, manifesting the Law of Heaven and Earth,His voice suppressing the surging morale of the Jing Country formation:"Our soldiers from the Eastern Region are very willing to fulfill your wishes!"In an instant, Bao Bo Zhao, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, Wang Yi Wu...All led their armies to press forward.

"If you truly wish to die,Today, we shall slaughter you all!""You are willing to die,But have you asked the soldiers under your commandIf they are willing?"On the Qi Country side, regardless of their relationship with Jiang Wang,Whether they had long-standing enmity or were close friends,On the battlefield, everyone charged forward!

And Jiang Wang, standing in the high sky,Merely raised his eyebrows: "Xu San?"His frost-white cape unfolded,His left stroke and right sweep,The character "Ren" (人) sword roared out.Directly piercing through the sky full of peach blossoms,He struck Xu San to the ground.And asked again, "Pei Hongjiu?"He twisted his body and unleashed a Primordial Pinnacle Sword strike,Sending the son of this renowned Jing Country family flying over ten zhang,Striking him until his hair was disheveled and his saber broken."Below the Outer Mansion, no need to come!""In ancient times, seeking life was difficult, seeking death was easy!Today, I will kill a few who are significant!"He looked at Chen Suan,His sword pointing at Lou Junlan!And Chen Suan was silent,Lou Junlan was silent.Jiang Wang, with two clean and decisive sword strikes,Demonstrated his invincible advantage on this battlefield,And directly questioned Chen Suan and Lou Junlan about their lives and deaths.Perhaps they did not lack the courage to fight to the death,But they clearly knew... that it was irreversible.So they were silent.Thus, everyone knew that this battle was over.

Chong Xuan Sheng looked up at the sky,Only then realizing that at some point, the starlight had faded...Dawn had arrived!

Xiang Country Wan He Temple.Jiang Menghong, with a smile on his lips,Pointed to the teacup in front of him with his chin,And said, "The tea is getting cold."Yu Que, the commander of Jing Country's Dou E Army,Was silent for a long time,Picked up the teacup in front of him,Lifted the lid, and took a sip.Then he put down the teacup,Turned around and left.This place had changed hands!

On the Star-Moon Plain battlefield,The Jing Country camp began to retreat.It must be said, the Jing Country prodigies were by no means ordinary,Even in such a disheartening moment,They still maintained the integrity of their military formationsTo the greatest extent possible.Although the outcome was decided,They still retained the possibility of counterattacking at any time.Of course, there was no such thing as a counterattack.The Qi Country side was also on high alert,No one was relaxed.If it were a true full-scale war,They would certainly not be allowed to retreat so easily.But this localized war on the Star-Moon Plain,The objective of the war had been achieved,There was no need for futile pursuit...Killing more enemy soldiers would still be Xiang Country soldiers,It would not shake the foundation of Jing Country.Everything was over.This nightmarish quagmire of flesh and blood.

Standing on the high general's platform,Xu Country's Grand Marshal, Fang You,Remained silent for a long time.The war was won,But there was no joy in his heart.He should cheer,But he completely lacked that emotion.He completely lacked that emotion,Yet he still raised his arms and shouted, "Victory!"This was what he, a Grand Marshal of Xu Country,Could do.

This was a scene too difficult to describe.Below the tall general's platform,Were the neat ranks of elite soldiers,The victorious army.Upon the tall general's platform,Was the nominal commander of this war,Behind him, the morning sun was rising,Casting a red glow over the sea of clouds for miles.When his voice rang out.One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand...Hundreds of thousands of voices shouted in unison:"Victory!"

Although the Qi Country prodigies did not hold Fang You in high regard,In this scene, they couldn't help but be moved by a great emotion.This was the victory they had fought for!Moreover, it was Qi Country's victory over Jing Country!Who in the world would dare say they could definitely defeat Jing Country in a battle?Even if it was just such a localized war?And they had done it.The people of Qi Country had done it.The people of the Eastern Region had done it!

This intense emotion,After the appearance of the Qi Country Military God, Jiang Menghong,Reached its peak.He came from who knows where,But with a single step, he entered everyone's field of vision,His figure, as if stepping out from the great sun.He landed on the general's platform,And the entire platform was filled with infinite glory because of this.Fang You and Lady XiduUnconsciously stepped back a few steps,Not daring to stand side by side with him.And he stood on the general's platform,His gaze falling,Seemingly lingering on everyone's face for a moment.Everyone could feelThat they were being watched by this great figure,Known as the Military God!The master who could annihilate armies and kill generals,The Qi Country Military God, Jiang Menghong, who had never lost a battle in his life,After looking at everyone,Said in a deep voice:"Thank you! Thank you for fighting with all your might,And bringing the glory of victory to me, Jiang Menghong!"

Who could not be moved?What immense glory this was...They had earned the gratitude of Jiang Menghong!Ten thousand armies, a single voice,A mountain roar and a sea surge—"Victory!"Jiang Menghong raised his hand,Letting the shouting subside:"One hundred articles of military governance, reward and punishment foremost.Jiang Wang, step forward."Everyone looked at Jiang Wang,Looking at this prodigy who had shone most brilliantlyIn this Star-Moon Plain battle.He also held his head high,His back straight, and stepped forward with his sword.Once upon a time, he had also looked up to Jiang Menghong like this.At that time and now, their circumstances were naturally vastly different.But at that time, he was not servile,At this time, he was not arrogant.Still like then, the hand gripping the sword did not waver in the slightest.Jiang Menghong, with those eyes as vast as the sky,Looked at him, and then said, "Closer."Jiang Wang stepped forward calmly,His cyan robe fluttering, walking on the void as if on flat ground.Jiang Menghong said, "Come up to the general's platform!"Jiang Wang then stepped onto the general's platform,Standing before Jiang Menghong.Jiang Menghong looked at him:"You left without a single word of report, abandoning your post in battle.Do you admit guilt?"His first words were to question his guilt!

At that time, Senior Guanyan urgently summoned him,Jiang Wang could not possibly report to anyone.Because once he reported, if it was not approved, then what?The森海源界 (Sen Hai Yuan Jie/Forest Sea Source Realm) was a place he had to go,At that time, he would have directly defied orders and abandoned the battle,His guilt would be compounded!And by leaving without a word,He could still alleviate some of the blameBy arguing that he had not truly participated in the war.Chong Xuan Sheng naturally understood this logic,Which was why he had only told him to "hurry up and get out" at that time.He referred to himself as "Mo Jiang" (last general),Indicating his acceptance of military law and all punishment.Although he could have argued that he had only left to increase his strengthAnd participate in the war again, that he was only waiting for the most opportune moment...That could definitely be debated fiercely, but he did not do so.He had always been a person willing to abide by the rules,His trip to the森海源界 was agreed upon beforehand and he had to go.Since he had already made his choice,Then he was also willing to bear all the consequences he should bear.

"In this battle, you are to be credited with the foremost merit,And also bear the foremost guilt.Since you admit guilt, the merit shall not be rewarded."Jiang Menghong asked, "Are you convinced?"His merit was the foremost merit in defeating Jing Country in this battle.His guilt, in fact, had significant room for dispute.But Jiang Wang bowed calmly:"This subordinate is fully convinced!"He truly accepted this result.Jiang Menghong looked at his eyes intently,Confirming that there was indeed no trace of resentment in his gaze,Only then did he take a step forward,Looking at the officers and soldiers below the general's platform.After a moment of silence, he unfolded a scroll,And read aloud under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of soldiers:"This great victory in battleIs due to the full effort of the three armies!Jing Country has signed the Star-Moon Covenant!"

"Covenant One, from this point forward,People of Xiang Country are not allowed to enter the Star-Moon Plain by half a step.Strong individuals from Xu Country within its territoryMay freely establish towers on the Star-Moon Plain!"Fang You gently closed his eyes,Seemingly finally finding some comfort.

"Covenant Two, the Mirror World Platform shall issue a document to all under heaven,Restoring Jiang Wang's innocence!Jing Country's Fu Dongxu is responsible for the failure to investigate properly,He shall be demoted to Deputy Head,Temporarily assuming the responsibilities of the Head of the Mirror World Platform,To observe the future effect.Zhuang Ting shall have ten years of Daoist resource quota deducted.Zhuang Country's Prime Minister Du Ruhui,Who falsely accused the Yellow River Meet champion,Shall be whipped naked upon Jade Capital Mountain!He shall personally write his confession of guilt,And offer sacrifices before the ancient Demon Slaying Covenant!"

Jiang Wang's eyes, which had been calm and unperturbed,Finally trembled slightly.This war between Qi and JingHad originally begun under the banner of seeking justice for their country's prodigies.After Jing Country lost this battle,It was only reasonable for them to show some gesture.The Mirror World Platform publicly issuing a document was equivalent to slapping their own face.Fu Dongxu being demoted to Deputy Head and temporarily holding the positionWas merely a symbolic punishment.Zhuang Ting should naturally pay a price...But the price was so heavy as to directly deduct ten years of Daoist resources,So heavy as to make the Prime Minister of a country be whipped naked, losing all face.It is truly impossible not to say that this was a resultThat Qi Country had strongly fought for.This was also the true compensation that Qi Country had sought for Jiang Wang!Abandoning his post in battle, he had to be punished.But the military achievements he had earned in this battleWere undeniable.With such great merit offsetting the guilt,No one had anything to say.But the solace that the Qi imperial court gave to this peerless prodigyWas all contained in this article of the "Star-Moon Covenant."

At that time, Jiang Wang stood on the commander's platform,With his back to the generals below,Still in the posture of accepting punishment.His back was straight and resolute,Like his long sword.Chong Xuan Sheng below the general's platform,Looking at this back, suddenly felt a lump in his throat,And quickly looked up at the sky.He knew too well what Jiang Wang wanted!This punishment given to Zhuang Country could only be considered a start,Du Ruhui stepped forward and took responsibility for everything,Making Zhuang Gaoxian completely clean...But it had begun, hadn't it?

And Jiang Menghong's voice continued—"Covenant Three, Jing Country shall dismantle the Yitian TempleLocated within the borders of Xia Country!"Upon the platform and below,All who had some knowledge of thisCouldn't help but be shocked.So this was the highest strategic objectiveOf the Qi-Jing Star-Moon Plain battle!

Regardless of everyone's speculations,Jiang Menghong said indifferently, "Jiang Qingyang."Jiang Wang turned around,Jiang Menghong had already closed the scrollAnd placed it in his hand.He instinctively gripped the scroll tightly,Feeling the weight of the efforts of countless people.In the next moment,The hand holding the "Star-Moon Covenant" was raised high.The Grand Marshal of the Great Qi, who defended the nation,Held his hand up,Facing the officers and soldiers below the general's platform:"These three covenants, witnessed by Heaven and Earth!Gentlemen, this is our shared glory!"

On the general's platform,The Great Qi Military God raised the hand of the Great Qi's first prodigy,As if raising a brand new banner!So resolute, so ostentatious.Below the general's platform,A mountain roar and a sea surge.Regardless of whether they were from Qi, Yi, Zhao, Chang, Rong, Xu...Everyone was shouting—"Glory!""Glory!""Glory!"The sound blocked the flowing clouds,Lingering for a long time.This scroll, the "Star-Moon Covenant," is destined to be recorded in history.And those who forced Jing Country to sign this "Star-Moon Covenant,"How could they not be called "Glory"?

End of this volume.
