Xingzhou.

Luo Wang Mansion.

Of course, Prince Luo’s Mansion was fully aware of the big moves made by the Divine Sword Sect.

"This idiot was so careless that he actually revealed the news in advance. This really pissed me off."

King Luo sat on the throne, frowning and looking stern.

Originally, he planned to concentrate his strength to catch the Divine Sword Sect off guard and take down the Divine Sword Sect as quickly as possible so that he could block the passage between Taixing Dao and Kunwu Dao.

Now that the plan has been exposed ahead of time, everything will be laid out in the open.

"Has Baihua Palace not responded yet?"

he asked suddenly.

"Your Highness, the response from Baihua Palace is ambiguous. It is obvious that they want to continue to remain neutral."

The black-clad strategist holding a feather fan spoke.

"Humph, this Hua Lianhua is so stupid. She really thinks she can stay out of this and remain neutral. She is such a woman."

King Luo snorted coldly, "Well, just give her a chance to remain neutral for now, and then we can deal with her Baihua Palace later."

"Your Highness, we can change the plan. Since the Divine Sword Sect knows we are going to attack them, we might as well bluff and take over the Hundred Flower Palace instead. The Hundred Flower Palace's territory is connected to the Shuchuan Road. The Brahma Palace, which occupies the Shuchuan Road, is not very strong and is wavering. Moreover, there are only two martial arts sects in the sealed country, and they are not very strong either."

The black-clad counselor's eyes revealed a gleam of brilliance, and he lowered his voice and said, "As the saying goes, plan for defeat before planning for victory. Once the situation becomes unfavorable, we can retreat to the Shuchuan Road. As long as we hold Jingguan, Your Highness will be able to protect himself and will not be cut off from retreat."

When King Luo heard this, he looked thoughtful.

He knew that Mr. Wen was resourceful and could always make accurate judgments in advance. During the previous Yujing rebellion, it was Mr. Wen who discovered something was wrong and evacuated his men in time, so the losses were not particularly great.

He has long coveted the Shuchuan Road.

However, the Baihua Palace stood between Prince Luo's Mansion and Shuchuan Road, and had always been a thorn in his side.

"What about the Divine Sword Sect? If we don't take down the Divine Sword Sect, then we won't be able to block the entry to the Night King's Mansion."

One of King Luo's confidants at the scene couldn't help but speak out.

Sudden changes in plans may lead to unpredictable consequences.
"In fact, if the plan is leaked, it is basically impossible to quickly take down the Divine Sword Sect. It may even drag our Luo Wang Mansion into the quagmire."

Mr. Wen, the black-clad strategist, walked to a large map, picked up a pointer and pointed at a place, "We only need to take over Xuanzhou Yecheng. If we deploy heavy troops along the Qi River, it will be enough to stop the army of the Divine Sword Sect and the Night King's Palace from moving south."

King Luo couldn't help but stand up and walked over. He subconsciously drew a big circle with his hand, and then laughed, "Mr. Wen, with your assistance, I can be as powerful as two gods."

"Listen, and adjust the deployment immediately according to what Mr. Wen said."

Then he returned to the main seat and gave orders.

"As ordered."

Several trusted aides present immediately took orders.

Xuanzhou Smelting City.

This is one of the most important resources in the Divine Sword Sect's territory. The Divine Sword Sect has strengthened its garrison here, and even has powerful elders and grand masters guarding it.

In addition, a martial arts corps of several thousand people was also urgently mobilized to the vicinity of Yecheng.

The Dachang army is mainly divided into two categories: one is the ordinary army, which is dispatched by the imperial court and local governments; the other is the martial arts army, which is commanded by the Emperor Wu.

Most of the commanders and generals of these martial arts armies are martial arts masters from the royal family or related to the royal family.

Many of them even come from the Royal Shenwu Academy.

Although it is called a martial arts legion, it is impossible that all soldiers are high-level warriors. The lowest-level soldiers are often just martial artists who mainly practice the legion's martial arts.

The legion's martial arts are pure battlefield killing techniques, emphasizing battle formations and coordination.

Therefore, even though the martial arts corps is mainly composed of martial artists and low-level warriors, they possess extremely powerful combat effectiveness when fighting in the corps.

The most important thing is that a complete martial arts army is able to rally the morale of the troops and resist the threat of martial arts masters to a great extent.

It is precisely because of this that the royal family was able to suppress the forces of the world. In addition to cultivating enough high-level martial arts forces themselves, there was another major factor, which was that they controlled a number of powerful martial arts legions.

The royal family has one biggest ban on the local kings, which is to strictly limit the number of private armies.

This private army is actually a martial arts corps.

When the size of a martial arts corps reaches a certain size, it will be extremely terrifying.

into the night.

In Yecheng, the Divine Sword Mansion was brightly lit.

Many people were coming in and out, making it seem extremely busy.

In a secret room underground.

Elder Shi sat cross-legged.

As the only grandmaster of the Divine Sword Sect stationed in Yecheng, he is now in danger.

Once Prince Luo's Mansion launches an attack on the Divine Sword Sect, Yecheng will be equivalent to the front line, the place where the war breaks out first, and a great master like him will definitely be the main target of decapitation.

But since he came, he was naturally prepared to die in battle.

"Elder Shi, this is the list of people who entered and left Yecheng today."

A man came in and handed over a stack of papers.

"It seems they have no more cover-up."

After Elder Shi looked at them one by one, he muttered to himself.

Judging from this list, quite a few strangers have come into Yecheng.

As a major city for smelting and mining, Yecheng has many caravans coming and going and a frequent flow of people.

However, there are a lot of them these days.

The situation is turbulent now. Prince Luo's Mansion may take action against the Divine Sword Sect at any time. There are also many caravans coming in. You don't have to guess to know that there is a problem.

Suddenly, Elder Shi's expression changed slightly, and his mind sensed the sound of fighting coming from outside.

"Send a message to the sect immediately. Luo Wangfu has already taken action."

Elder Shi immediately gave the order, stood up and left the secret room, and entered a passage with a group of dormant Divine Sword Sect masters.

At this moment, in the Divine Sword Mansion on the ground, many black-clothed warriors rushed in from the darkness.

The inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect and warriors from other affiliated forces quickly fought back.

The brutal fight began.

At the same time, fighting was going on in other places in Yecheng, including in the iron mines.

Near the military camp ten miles away from Yecheng, a large number of elite soldiers wearing standard heavy black armor, holding swords, spears, shields and carrying bows and arrows, were quietly approaching the camp like a black torrent.

"Enemy attack."

Suddenly, a shrill roar sounded.

In an instant, the entire military camp was in an uproar. A large number of soldiers wearing dark blue armor poured out from the tents and quickly formed a formation.

"kill!"

Under the severe command, the black torrent suddenly accelerated, breaking through the camp in an instant and colliding violently with the dark blue martial arts army that had just formed a formation in the camp.

Divine Sword Gate.

The elder of the Flying Eagle Hall ran into the Divine Sword Hall holding a bamboo tube.

"Master, the flying eagle from Xuanzhou Yecheng has sent a letter."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu quickly took the bamboo tube, unsealed it after checking it, and poured out the note inside. After deciphering it, his expression became solemn.

"Xuanzhou Yecheng was attacked."

He said in a deep voice.

If Prince Luo's Mansion wants to take action, it certainly won't just target Yecheng.

Some other important outposts must also be targets of attack by Prince Luo’s Palace.

As for the location of the mountain gate of the Divine Sword Sect, it is of utmost importance.

"Pass the order down, have all the disciples prepare for the battle."

He gave the order.

Soon, an elder with real power took the order and left.

"When will the celestial being from the Night Palace arrive?"

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu asked again.

"It should be here tomorrow morning at the latest."

Another powerful elder said.

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu nodded.

But he still felt uncertain in his heart. Currently, the Divine Sword Sect had no one to guard it. Once the Luo Palace launched an attack, it would be difficult for the Divine Sword Sect to hold out for too long with its strength.

After all, Prince Luo’s Mansion will definitely send out celestial beings.

Chen bell tower.

Li Qian had just finished ringing the bell to practice when he saw Master Xu running up the mountain.

"Brother Li, the sect master has ordered that if an external enemy invades, the bell on the Chenzhong platform will ring nine times to remind all disciples to prepare for the battle."

Hall Master Xu said quickly.

Li Qian nodded.

"It looks like there will be a big battle soon."

After Hall Master Xu left, Li Qian sighed inwardly, fearing that he would not be able to practice in peace and quiet by ringing the bell from now on.

No one knows how the subsequent battle will develop.

Time passed by little by little.

The top leaders of the Divine Sword Sect are all waiting for the enemy's attack.

It was not until the next morning that a celestial being from the Night King's Palace finally arrived.

The worries of the top leaders of the Divine Sword Sect finally settled down.

With Xiao Tianren still not back, the Divine Sword Sect finally feels more confident with the presence of Tianren from the Night Palace.

But everyone was confused. Why hasn’t the attack from Prince Luo’s Mansion come yet?

Not only that, except for Xuanzhou Yecheng, no news of other places being attacked was reported.

Under normal circumstances, speed is of the essence in war. If Prince Luo's Mansion wants to attack the Divine Sword Sect, it is impossible for them to attack only one place.

Divine Sword Hall.

"Greetings, Ye Tianren, thank you for coming to support my Divine Sword Sect."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu, along with many peak masters and powerful elders, received the celestial beings from the Night King's Palace.

Ye Tianren from the Night Palace was an old man in purple robes. He sat down and asked, "Master Feng, I received news that the Luo Palace was about to attack your Divine Sword Sect, so I had to travel day and night without delaying for a moment. How come there was no movement after I arrived?"

"Ye Tianren, I don't know what happened at Luo Wangfu. They only attacked Xuanzhou Yecheng and there was no other movement."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu said.

"Only attacked Yecheng?"

Ye Tianren frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with your intelligence? Or has the Luo Palace given up the plan to attack the Divine Sword Sect?"

"Ye Tianren, the situation is unclear right now. We have to wait for the spy from Prince Luo's Mansion to send a letter via flying eagle." Sect leader Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said.

"Okay then, arrange a place for me to meditate in seclusion. If anything happens, let me know."

Ye Tianren waved his hand.

"Ye Tianren, please."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu said hurriedly.

Such a heavenly being must naturally be treated well.

Once the Luo Palace attacks the Divine Sword Sect, this celestial being will be needed to take action.

For several days, there was no movement.

Instead, news came back from Yecheng.

Yecheng had been lost, and the martial arts corps guarding it had also been defeated.

Moreover, Grand Master Elder Shi unfortunately died in Yecheng while covering the retreat of his disciples.

Although some of the warriors from the Divine Sword Sect were withdrawn, they still suffered heavy losses.

The force used by Prince Luo's Mansion to attack Yecheng is far more powerful than imagined.

"You say, has the Luo Palace given up the plan to attack our Divine Sword Sect? Did they take over Yecheng just for the iron mines in Yecheng?"

Guiyi Peak Master Hou Shuwen said with a frown.

"The question is, what's the point of taking Yecheng? Luowang Mansion is so far away from Yecheng that we can't actually control it. I guess it can only be controlled by Xuanming Sect. Once the Yewang Mansion's army goes south and cooperates with my Divine Sword Sect, it won't be difficult to take back Yecheng."

Wan Xiangu, the leader of Zidian Peak, said.

"No, it's still different. If the Luo Palace deploys heavy troops along the Qi River, it can completely stop the Ye Palace's army from moving south."

Hou Shuwen shook his head. He stood up and walked to a huge map and drew a line. "But in this way, the Luo Palace will have to passively defend."

He couldn't figure out what the Luo Palace was trying to do?
At this time, the elder of the Flying Eagle Hall came hurriedly and handed over a piece of information.

After reading it, Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Master, what's the news?"

Wu Qu Peak Master Xie Tiancheng asked hurriedly.

"Luo Wangfu did not attack our Divine Sword Sect, but attacked Baihua Palace instead. According to intelligence, the gate of Baihua Palace has been breached."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu said.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone was a little bit unbelievable.

What's the situation?
"The Baihua Palace has always been neutral. It did not participate in the previous Yujing rebellion. The Luo Palace should have been trying to win it over. Why would they attack the Baihua Palace at this time?"

Lingxu Peak Master Wei Quansheng was stunned.

"I see. Prince Luo is probably worried that after the information is leaked, he may not be able to defeat our Divine Sword Sect in a short period of time, so he can only settle for the next best thing. Xiangzhou, where Baihua Palace is located, is the only way to the Shuchuan Road. If Prince Luo's Mansion controls Xiangzhou, it means that they have grasped the gate of the Shuchuan Road and can march straight in at any time."

Hou Shuwen, the head of Guiyi Peak, clapped his hands and said, "It seems that the Luo Palace has already thought of a way out."

When Dachang was first established, the division of spheres of influence among the kings and martial arts sects throughout the world was carefully designed to check and restrain each other, thus forming a delicate balance in the entire territory of Dachang.

The royal family can use this to control the world.

Baihua Palace controls Xiangzhou in order to curb the power of the feudal states in Shuchuan Road. Controlling Wanjing Pass is equivalent to strangling the gateway to Shuchuan Road.

Moreover, the forces within Shuchuan Daofeng, including the Brahma Palace, are not considered strong and have no power to take control of Wanjing Pass from the Baihua Palace.

What's more, if the Brahma Palace really dares to have any ideas, it will immediately be ruthlessly liquidated by the royal family.

"If Baihua Palace doesn't want to be destroyed, it has no choice but to join the Luo Palace."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu sighed.

The strength of Baihua Palace is not weaker than that of Divine Sword Sect.

But it was still breached.

He broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about the possibility that the Divine Sword Sect was caught off guard and suddenly attacked by Luo Wang Mansion.

"Doesn't the Baihua Palace have celestial beings? How could it be breached so easily?"

The powerful elder suddenly said.

"The Hundred Flowers Palace is just like our Divine Sword Sect. There is only one celestial being in the Palace, and this celestial being is very old. When they were attacked without any preparation, the result is predictable."

Sect leader Feng Shaoyu sighed and said.

The celestial beings are very strong.

There are more celestial beings on the side of the Ke Luo Palace.

If the Luo Palace launched a sneak attack on the Divine Sword Sect, even if Xiao Tianren was in charge of the sect, the possibility of his death would be very high if he was caught off guard.

Now, as long as we wait for our great-uncle-master Xiao Tianren to return, and add the Tianren from Prince Ye's Palace, that means we will have two Tianren. Even if Prince Luo's Palace launches a large-scale siege on Divine Sword Sect, we will be able to fight back, and we won't be breached so quickly like Baihua Palace.

a few days later.

The Divine Sword Sect has always lived in peace.

Xiao Tianren finally rushed back.

He even brought back two celestial beings.

The top leaders of the Divine Sword Sect were overjoyed.

"Uncle Master, who are these two seniors?"

Inside the Divine Sword Hall, Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu couldn't help but ask after he saluted Xiao Tianren.

"This is Chai Tianren from the royal family, and this is Hua Tianren from the Baihua Palace."

The bald, white-haired old man Xiao Tianren immediately introduced them.

The leaders of the Divine Sword Sect hurriedly saluted, but they were all shocked.

"Hua Tianren?"

Wasn’t Baihua Palace breached by Prince Luo’s Mansion a few days ago?
How come Hua Tianren appears here?

This Hua Tianren looked rather weak and seemed to be seriously injured.

"Fortunately, Xiao Tianren rescued me midway, otherwise I would have died."

Hua Tianren was a white-haired old woman with no trace of blood on her wrinkled face. She sighed.

At this time, a purple-robed figure strode out from outside.

It was Ye Tianren from the Night Palace.

"Madam Hua, I told you at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that you should not stay out of the situation. If you had made a decision earlier, you wouldn't have ruined the thousand-year-old foundation of the Hundred Flowers Palace."

Ye Tianren said in a deep voice.

Hua Tianren of Baihua Palace could only smile bitterly.

"Brother Ye, I didn't expect that it was you who came to support my Divine Sword Sect."

Xiao Tianren stood up and bowed.

"Brother Xiao, how are you? I didn't expect that you, an old man, are so strong that you could even survive the Yujing Rebellion."

Ye Tianren said with a smile.

He did not go to Yujing during the Yujing Rebellion.

Another celestial being who went to the Night King’s Palace.

"I am still alive now, which means God has taken care of me."

Xiao Tianren shook his head and smiled.

If he hadn't been luckier during the Yujing Rebellion more than a year ago, his grave would have been covered with grass.

Even so, after such a long period of recuperation, he still hasn't recovered.

For a celestial being of his age, if he were injured too seriously, the loss of his life force would be very serious. Every time he was injured, his life span would be shortened.

So he looks much older now than he did a year ago.

Then Ye Tianren started dealing with Chai Tianren of the royal family.

The four celestial beings were talking, and the others couldn't get a word in and could only listen from the side.

No matter what, Xiao Tianren's return finally gave the many senior leaders of the Divine Sword Sect a backbone.

Next, we have to find ways to retake Xuanzhou Yecheng.

Chen bell tower.

Li Qian has been very confused these days.

Didn't they say there would be a war? Why is there no movement at all?

It made him nervous these days.

After all, he is always ready to ring the nine-hour bell.

"But it's better if there is no war."

Li Qian grabbed the hitting rod and slammed it hard on the Chen Zhong.

As the clear bell rang for five times in a row, he bathed in the sound of the bell and felt relaxed all over. He immediately let go of the striker, drew out Sword Eighteen, and began to practice.

At this time, a figure ran up from the bottom of the mountain quickly.

It was actually Master Xu of the Menial Services Hall.

He greeted Liu Ming first.

Naturally, I was very envious.

Liu Ming is so lucky. He has become an entry-level warrior just a few years after coming to Chen Zhongtai.

After Li Qian finished practicing, he bowed and said respectfully: "Brother Li, the inner sect has notified us that martial law is over."

"it's over?"

Li Qian jumped down from the bell tower, feeling very surprised.

Could it be that the crisis has been resolved?

This is better.

This means that he can now quietly practice by ringing the bell.

So he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There's no way, his current strength is totally insufficient.

Can't go up, can't go down.

Let’s not talk about whether we can deal with the celestial beings. Even if we can, they are strong and weak.

Rather than fighting against opponents of higher levels, he prefers to crush others with his realm.

Even if we can't crush each other in terms of realm, we should at least be at the same level, right?
He has no sense of security until he reaches the level of a celestial being.

Therefore, his biggest ambition now is to ascend to the realm of heaven and man as soon as possible.
