Chapter 555: Army Collapses

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At the side of Daishui River where killing shouts could be heard all around, Qiuwei sat high above on the platform. His face was slightly red and he didn’t say a word.

Zong Ling looked back, filled with anticipation in his eyes, “What is the situation on the side of the ruler?”

He wasn’t worried about Zong Shou as the outcome of this battle was already decided. The difference would be the number of spoils of war he could obtain.

Qiuwei opened his mouth and was about to speak, only feeling his emotions raging and getting harder to keep control of himself. At this moment, he was actually unable to make a sound.

He could only quietly clench his fists, once that wave-like emotions slowly calmed down, he opened his mouth and say, “The ruler has already wiped out Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. I heard that none of the ten thousand sect cultivators were left alive!”

This sentence alone was like thunderclap sounding out by the ears of Xu Zhengyuan and Zong Ling. Qiuwei stood up once more.

“Spread this news to Hu Qianqiu and Chaiyuan! Order the entire army...”

Taking in a deep breath, Qiuwei’s eyes shone a bright glow, “Ruler has already used seventy thousand cavalries beneath Mysterious Cloud Mountain to wipe out the three million elites of Thousand City Alliance! In a few days, he would be able to return to Gantian Mountain. Today, we need to go all out and not let the Ruler down! The Ruler mentioned asking the generals to help him sweep Donglin! Three months later, Ruler will build the Gantian Country and ascend as the King!”

At this moment, half of the 1.8 million soldiers situated at Gantian Mountain didn’t know where Mysterious Cloud Mountain was at. They also didn’t know that Lingyun Sect was the actual master of Donglin Cloud Continent since yesterday.

These words really could pump up the hearts of the people.

When his words were said, many message talismans instantly flew around in all directions, turning into rays of golden light and flying into the horizon.

Many messengers rode out towards the front, at the tens of square formations who were marching forwards in an orderly manner.

In an instance, the entire wilderness was filled with cheers.

“The Ruler has already won!”

“Three million elites of Thousand City Alliance, sixty percent of them have fallen! A million of them surrendered...”

“Is this information true?”

“Beneath Mysterious Cloud Mountain? Which means that the Donglin Sects have lost! They have lost to the Ruler! If not, why would that happen?”

“Haha! What a good loss! I knew that such a shocking talent like the Ruler wouldn’t fall for them and be trapped by those ignorant and unskilled people!”

“Sweep Donglin! Within 3 months, unify Donglin!”

“War! War! War! The sects have already lost, who else in this continent can face up against our Gantian Mountain?”

“Today, we will help the Ruler sweep the world with our blades!”

Clamours sounded out all about. That vital energy glow that was charging into the heavens appeared thicker. Their aura surged up into the heavens and their fighting spirit spreading all about.

In front of the army formation, pretty much all the faces of the soldiers were flushing red, their eyes dyed blood red. Their footsteps were really stable and they didn’t have anything to worry about anymore.

They firmly looked forward, where the army passed, everything would be torn to shreds! No one would be able to stop them!

At this moment on the other side, opposite the dozens of ten thousand men formation of Gantian Mountain, was another scene.

The city lords who were well-informed and had already learned the situation on Mysterious Cloud Mountain already silently and quietly backed out of the battlefield.

The smarter soldiers placed down their weapons and fled towards the back.

It caused millions of square formation to shatter like broken glass, unlike how magnificent and majestic they looked before.

The formation at the front collapsed right as they clashed. Some of them decided to drop their weapons and just surrender.

Within the core of the army, Xiong Yu was totally stunned, she was totally out of sorts. Her petite face was totally devoid of blood.

The moment she received the news from Mysterious Cloud Mountain, she was still commanding the troops to retreat the millions of alliance army troops out from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

However, the moment the message talisman was sent over, it caused all her anticipation and all her confidence to be smashed into pieces!

At this moment, she really didn’t dare to believe whether the news she got was true or not...

...Blood Cloud Cavalry, slaying million, all twelve hundred dao soldiers dead, Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect wiped out, Shenxiao had fallen!

Many inconceivable phrases flashed across in her mind, causing her to be at a total loss.

Until several voices spread into her ear did she come right back to her senses.

“It seems like the Donglin Sects really lost...”

“Donglin Cloud Continent is really going to change!”

“Twelve hundred dao soldiers all dying in the battle, none of the ten thousand disciples survived. The essence of the Donglin Sects is all gone!”

“Blood kill twin flags! This Monster King is really vicious! That kid...”

“Brother Lian! Please be careful with your words. That Ruler might be our Ruler not long later! If you are not afraid, you can grumble and scold him, but don’t pollute our ears and drag us down!”

“Hey! We wanted to crush a goose but who knew that he was actually an eagle! That person in Gantain Mountain is really destined to soar high and look down on everything in this land...”

“What are you planning when you return?”

“What else can I do? Naturally I will close my gates and defend, and wait to surrender!”

“That’s right! The Donglin Sects have all lost, our eastern city alliance army isn’t their enemy. Who else in this Cloud Continent can defend against them?”

“We have no choice even if we are unwilling, do you think we can fight back stubbornly? We will probably be crushed into dust by the Gantian troops!”

“That’s a good choice too. This chaotic era lasting thousands of years are finally ending today!”

“If I knew that this would happen I shouldn’t have come! All because he was tempted by Lingyun Sect, that Yangfan really deserves to die!”

“Yangfan is just a rat whilst that Ruler is a dragon. How can a rat be compared to a dragon?”

The words exchanged between them was slightly disrespectful towards the Donglin Sects. Only at this moment, be it Zu Renkuang or Yan Feibai, they weren’t in the mood to pinpoint such matters.

If this was the past, when one heard such outrageous words, they would instantly be killed or their entire family would be wiped out.

At this moment, the two of them kept silent, their faces were ashen white.

Not only they couldn’t attack, instead, they also had to be wary and alert. Looking all around, the gazes all over were like sharp blades filled with unfriendly intentions. Some people were tempted to fight.

The current situation had changed. Lingyun Sect’s strength was not even enough to protect themselves much less keep these Donglin cities in check.

In front of them was the Gantian Mountain army bearing down on them. The situation was already decided that Gantian Mountain would sweep past the entire cloud continent.

Out of these people, there might be some people who were tempted to try to cut off their heads to get into the good books of Gantian Mountain.

Zu Renkuang was like an ice statue. His heart turned cold and his skin was also icy cold.

Since he started cultivating, he never felt so cold before.

Defeat! Total defeat!

When he met them initially at Cloud Saint City, who knew that such a dual meridian body, a piece of trash with barriers from heaven could, one day, caused Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect to fall and caused Lingyun Sect to weaken?

After this battle, Lingyun Sect’s most glorious days were already over. As for the future days, they could only barely hold on under the pressure of the various sects.

Yan Feibai was expressionless and didn’t really feel emotional. His expression was really complicated.

That person had such methods, such combat strength, to be really able to turn the tides at the last moment...

“Senior brother, we can’t stay here anymore in case the situation changes. Can we leave now?”

Zu Renkuang acknowledged and came back to his senses. Following which he laughed out, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks.

Although he was laughing, in the ears of others, it was filled with sadness and bitterness.

A moment later when his laugh ended, he bowed towards Xiong Yu, “City lord Xiong! The situation has been decided, there is no point in fighting any more here. Please allow me and my sect members to take our leave!”

When the words were said, Zu Renkuang didn’t even wait for Xiong Yu to agree as he already rose into the air and walked towards the west, before turning into a light and disappearing. The other Lingyun Sect people were either driving artifacts or stepping on the air as they followed behind.

The moment these few people left, the other sect cultivators all scattered. Yan Feibai was the last to go. Before he left, he focused on the east for a short while before rising into the sky.

He let out a long drawn out sigh which lasted for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, dozens of city lords, as well as some generals, remained on the platform.

They were really silent such that a pin drop could be heard. Until tens of breaths later did a laugh spread out.

“Coming in so confidently and in the end running in such a haggard manner. As they say, when the tree falls, the foxes scatter...”

“These sect cultivators usually act so high up and superior, ordering people around and acting with so much pride. However, looking at them now, they just look like dogs who fell into the water.”

“Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! There is still one more Lingyun Sect inner sect disciple!”

The words were filled with a mocking and disdain tone. Xiongyu sat on the main seat, her body feeling really cold.

Zu Renkuang and the others had left, so what should she do? What would happen to their Blazing Flame Mountain, Blazing Bear Race?

When she was useless, they had abandoned her so quickly?

At this moment, the hatred in her heart towards Lingyun Sect blossomed! It even exceeded her hatred towards Zong Shou...

※※※※

South of Xiyun Province, land belonging to Xijie City in the past. The Xijie City was now already leveled out to the flat ground.

However, just two years later, a new city which was no worse than that was already standing on this land.

At this moment, at the side of the city, a hundred fifty thousand strong armies were quietly forming on the plains of the east of the city.

They were all eight feet tall, their bodies were covered in white fur. They wore exquisitely made iron armor and the weapons they held were all really sharp blades.

The formation was slightly messy but it couldn’t hide their ferocity and sharpness.

Shi Fatian stood at the front of the army, his brows furrowed tightly. Beside him was Shi Dingyuan.

The latter was smiling, giving off a cold intent.

“Father, why do you need to worry? I have already searched for news. Although Gantian Mountain is strong but in this Donglin Cloud Continent, it is still the sects who made the decisions. Since it is Lingyun Sect that is attacking Zong Shou, then Gantian Mountain will definitely fall and be destroyed...”

Shi Fatian still didn’t speak, he also knew about this matter. It was because he thought about this point which was why he wanted to rebel.

He just needed to strike the core area of Gantian Mountain and they would be able to deal heavy losses to them.

However, why did his heart still feel uneasy?

Shi Dingyuan saw through what his thoughts were, smiling, “That Zong Shou isn’t a normal person. No wonder Father will feel nervous, but the fame of Lingyun Sect is something even I heard when I was beneath the Cloud Ocean. All the more, Father should have heard of it...”
