“It’s him?”

Zong Shou looked at the main general on the right. Although this person was covered in armor and only showed his eyes, Zong Shou could recognise that he was the one who led the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle, the commander of the seventy thousand Common People’s Xuan Dragon Warriors.

As Zong Shou soon left after the battle, he was unable to find out his name.

However, he left a huge impression on him as he left the seventy thousand cavalry crushed the Yuanchen Blood Cavalry of Great Shang right at the start.

Although he wasn’t an unparalleled General Talent like Zong Yuan, he was still a top cavalry general and was really firm.

With this person here, he was indeed better than anyone under him apart from Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing.

“He is one of the seventh generation disciples from your Common People’s Path called Qinyi. This girl’s commanding ability is only weaker than Zong Yuan’s. Unfortunately, she learnt the Source Life Spirit Breathing, if she can’t break through, then she would only be stuck at Celestial Realm...”

He was a girl?

Zong Shou looked towards Kong Yao in disbelief. He was stunned and shook his head.

He also found it a waste. Although the technique gave cultivators who turned to cultivate Dao Soldier Techniques some hope, it was really slim.

After shaking his head, Zong Shou looked elsewhere. As compared to the army formation, Zong Shou paid more attention to the land’s geography.

“It really is a dead land!”

The plains here was the most fertile in the south. In the future, the Fallen Dragon City would also be one of the top ten famous lands in the Cloud World.

However, at this moment, it seemed connected but it was filled with primitive forests covered with beasts and bugs. There were also swamps which prevented the troops from travelling properly.

It was okay if one won, but if one wanted to escape, they wouldn’t be able to do that. The only safe passage was the Nine Dragon River at the back of Jiuchi Palace.

At this moment, all the cloud ships of the Great Gan weren’t here. Without any ships, this place was pretty much a dead land.

Moreover, after the Shang Army lined up, they could directly reach Min River.

This place only allowed four carriages to be lined up side by side.

Which was why Zong Shou felt that Kong Yao was too vicious when she used troops.

Just as Zong Shou looked out of the battlefield, inside a giant carriage, Emperor Yuanchen Yinyu was looking out too.

“Your majesty, you don’t have to worry. I have searched with a few Taoists. Apart from these five hundred thousand troops, there aren’t any more. Even Taoist Ancestor Taihuang said that it was okay.”

Beside his seat, Yuntai was leisurely drinking tea. He looked really casual and composed, as if there were no problems at all.

The generals and officials in the area all heaved a sigh of relief.

Kong Yao and the hundreds of thousands of Dao Soldiers and troops appearing here had shocked everyone, it made them worry that it was a trap.

Since Yuntai said all that, there should really be nothing.

In this world, there shouldn’t be any illusionary techniques that could hide from the scouting of twenty over Saint Realm Venerables.

Moreover, there was also Taihuang Saint Venerable...

“That is not surprising. Such an important area like the Jiuchi Palace, it also amassed tens of millions of stone of grain. It’s normal that to be more tightly guarded. Before this, there were already three hundred thousand troops guarding here.”

“Since Kong Yao is a top commander, how would she have not prepared against that?”

“Fortunately, Commander Fei was careful and chose to send eight hundred thousand elites.”

The atmosphere was finally really relaxed and the faces of everyone present had a wide smile.

Xuoxin bowed towards Yinyu. “Even from here, we can see that the enemy’s hearts are wavering. I would like to congratulate your majesty, victory is imminent!”

There wasn’t much joy on his face, he was still really calm. The more one felt happy or sad, the more one had to keep it in and not show it.

“The military’s hearts are wavering, they are not certain!”

The person who spoke was Feiyin. This caused everyone to look over in shock.

Just at this moment, Ren Tianxing suddenly pointed out with his sword and galloped out.

“Brothers! Behind me is the Nine Dragon River! It is thirty-seven thousand feet wide with many man-eating fishes within. All our cloud ships are eight hundred miles away. Which is why if we don’t win today, we will die! Are you all willing to charge with me to the depths of hell?”

All of the generals from the Great Gan were stunned. Moments later, their expressions turned solemn. They held their swords and shields and responded.

“We are willing to fight to the death! Fight to the death!”

“We will!”

Ren Tianxing’s laughter shook the area. “What is the point of living, what is the point of death? If we lose, then I will just die here! Ruler has ruled for ten years, with the war strength and great rule that made our Great Gan so prosperous. We are all members of the Great Gan and if we die here, we will be the ghosts of the Great Gan! As long as ruler is here, we don’t have to worry about death!”

The moment he said that, the expressions of some soldiers who had low morale changed. They tossed aside all the worries in their hearts.

The Great Gan had fought for ten years and the families of all the dead received great treatment. They got compensation every year and didn’t need to worry about food and clothes.

Zuoxin’s expression also changed. Ren Tianxing, that was the famous general who was one of the two pillars of Great Gan?

“Cutting off their escape path, and to fight with their backs against the wall?”

Feiyin laughed coldly. “That Kong Yao is not Zhun Yinhou, and I am not Cheng Anjun either!”

Zhun Yinhou Hanxin was a famous general at the end of the Cloud Desolate Era. He led thousands of troops to attack Zhao, he fought with his back against the war and defeated two hundred thousand Zhao troops. The commander of the Zhao army was Cheng Anjun.

“Your Majesty, our army came from so far and if we don’t win, we will die. Our morale is really high and we aren’t afraid. During this battle, it only depends on the difference in strength.”

Feiyin said as he looked to the right, at the thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry.

Darkness flashed across his eyes, what was Kong Yao doing?

To use thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry to block two hundred thousand enemies?

He felt really weird. Kong Yao was always really careful when she used troops, so why would she take such a risk now?

He looked to the left, were they prepared to break through from there?

“Your majesty, I will personally lead the right-wing cavalry! Once we crush the Blood Cloud Cavalry, we can strike their middle troops and crush them in one shot!”

No matter what that woman was planning, he could directly crush it!

He didn’t believe that those two hundred thousand cavalry they had couldn’t wipe out that small thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry!

If Kong Yao really wanted to set some traps, then she was really underestimating him.

Yinyu also looked towards the right-wing. He frowned and also didn’t understand.

A moment later, he nodded. “Okay! We will rely on your power in this battle!”

With a general taking charge, he would be at ease. General Feiyin, who had gone through a large numbers of battles, would be able to smash through in one hit.

Feiyin cupped his fists and left the carriage, jumping right onto his horse.

Zhongxuan also stood up.

“Then I will take my leave too! The altar needs me to spend some effort...”

Yinyu’s expression changed, he actually stood up. He looked towards Zhongxuan with a chiding expression. “Why is Grand Teacher doing that? You can wait for a while!”

Zhongxuan laughed bitterly. “The technique demands too much and we can’t miss the auspicious timing! Actually, your majesty doesn’t need to bother about me, I am using this technique to make up for my past mistakes!”

Everyone present was shocked. Xuebao and Yuntai looked towards the back of the army in deep thought.

A ten thousand feet wide altar was swiftly formed under the help of a thousand spirit masters.

Apart from that, there were three thousand kids. Half males and half females standing within with a numb expression on their faces.

“Is it the Yin Yang Heart Needle Curse?”

Yuntai had a weird expression. “I heard that if the one that is hit is not at End Realm, no matter what his cultivation is, he would die within seven days. However, the person who uses the technique will lose a thousand years lifespan! He would be cursed by Heaven and Earth, a negative fate will form and indescribable calamities will befall on him...”

Curses and spells were different; curses were unable to be used to directly kill people, but it had many unbelievable effects. It was something specific to people who studied divination and also received the jealousy of the Heaven and Earth.

Actually, a thousand years lifespan was just the base amount. If this technique is used, the more noble the destiny, the more lifespan is consumed. The strength of the cultivation also mattered.

Apart from that, it also needed at least a thousand kids to be sacrificed, that was the most vicious thing about it.

Which was why even those Saint Realm Venerables didn’t dare to offend divinators.

“If I can kill that kid, just one to two thousand years of lifespan is nothing!”

His gaze was like that of ice as he looked at the luxurious carriage. He laughed coldly. “I am doing this for myself! If we win, I will be able to live longer. Obtaining one and losing one, it balances itself out.”

As for those calamities, he could naturally use the Great Shang’s prosperity to counter it out!

Because Liu Li was from the Confucians, he couldn’t bear to look. “But these kids...”

If it succeeds, then the kids would all die, their blood and vital energy would be all sucked out!

He was just halfway through with his words when Zhongxuan suddenly interrupted. “All of them are the children of sinners, as their parents have committed crimes, nine generations of their families should have been beheaded. The remaining are from the barbarian races who hurt the Great Shang warriors! They deserve to die here. His majesty will compensate their families and also pardon them for their sins!”

“So that is the case!”

Liu Li still couldn’t accept it but he forcefully suppressed himself.

At this moment, killing that ignorant ruler now was the most important thing for the Confucian Faction.

He was unhappy deep down and said coldly, “Zhongxuan is willing to sacrifice yourself, I am impressed! Let’s hope that in the future, you can forget the thousands of vengeful souls here.”

Zhongxuan smiled. Since he used this technique, he naturally didn’t care about these three thousand lives. Cultivators had to fight with the Heavens and conflict with the Earth.

Why would he bother about just a few thousand kids?

Even Liu Li, although he said those words, didn’t stop him. He was just a fake gentleman.

“That Zong Shou has Kong Rui as his Imperial Astronomer protecting the Great Gan country’s luck, this technique might not succeed.”

“Don’t worry. I have modified and improved it, it is different from before. It will succeed unless that person can’t be invaded by all evil!”

Just as he said that, a commotion happened in the distance. Everyone looked out and it came from the thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry which slowly stepped forward.

Along with this cavalry moving, the entire Great Gan army pushed forward.

Everyone was stunned, they were at a disadvantage and still took the initiative to attack?
