It wasn't just the core of the formation that was destroyed.

It's even more so their barbarian tribe's...

Clan fate!

We are deeply grateful for such a huge loss.

It would take at least fifty years to recover.

What other choice did they have but to submit?!

……

In the clouds.

Empress Daqing has never left; the flying sword in her hand is still stained with the blood of an ancient demon cultivator.

She watched the figure on the mountaintop silently, her deep eyes revealing no emotion.

finally.

She did not show herself, but rode her flying sword into the sky and returned to Daqing.

The sun rises into the sky.

The snowstorm subsided.

Wasteland battlefield.

Corpses are everywhere.

Chen Sanshi stood atop Langjuxu Mountain, overlooking the surrounding area for miles.

"grown ups!"

Covered in blood, Zhao Kang arrived with a broken bamboo scissor, giving his final summary:

"This battle!"

"Our Hongze Battalion has killed 80,000 enemy soldiers, captured more than 20,000, and seized countless supplies, cattle, and sheep. In other words... the entire grassland is now ours!"

Chen Sanshi didn't care about the gains; he simply asked, "What about the casualties?"

"casualties……"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kang trembled: "The casualties are also heavy. From the beginning at the Agate River until now, the total number of dead is over seven thousand, and more than two thousand are wounded..."

When Hongze Camp arrived.

Fifteen thousand people.

Now, less than eight thousand remain.

Nearly half of the casualties were fatal.

If we start counting from Tiger Hill...

Their northern expedition.

Having killed over 100,000 enemy soldiers, and having not only traveled thousands of miles but also frequently faced high-level martial artists and extremely harsh weather conditions, the fact that they suffered only 8,000 casualties is already an unprecedented miracle.

But these eight thousand people piled up.

It was also a mountain of corpses.

On the summit of Langjuxu Mountain, Chen Sanshi stood beside the altar, lingering for a long time.

"grown ups."

Xia Cong said cautiously, "The battle is over, we can go down the mountain now!"

"Correct."

Xiao Zheng continued, "The barbarian capital is empty, which is perfect for my army to rest and recuperate for a while. This time, the brothers are truly exhausted."

Chen Sanshi placed his hand on the broken altar, looked at the corpses scattered all over the mountainside, and gave a deep order:

"The entire army will rest for five days."

Five days later.

"Right here on Mount Langjuxu, we will burn incense and offer sacrifices to Heaven!"

"what?!"

side.

Several barbarian khans were startled upon hearing this.

"General Chen!"

Tuoba Hongxin stammered, "This...this might not be appropriate, right?"

Wolf Mountain.

It is the place where their Celestial race was born.

It is also their symbol!

It is said to be in comparison to Ziwei Mountain.

But in the hearts of the Celestial Clan, Langjuxu Mountain far surpasses Ziwei Mountain.

If we really let them burn incense and offer sacrifices to heaven here...

It's tantamount to telling our ancestors that the Celestial Clan is doomed!

The shame was indescribable.

"inappropriate?"

Chen Sanshi sat on the antler chair of the Great Khan Tuoba, looking down at the four barbarian Khans kneeling before him: "Then you should tell me properly, what's wrong with it?"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Murong Khan hurriedly said, "General Chen, if you want to perform the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, then do so. Since my Heavenly Clan belongs to Dasheng, then Langjuxu Mountain is naturally also Dasheng's land. General Chen, what do you want to do? Why do you need to ask for our opinion?"

What other options do they have besides compromise?!

Five days later.

Yinshan Mountains, Langjuxu Mountain.

Chen Sanshi led eight thousand soldiers of the Hongze Camp to the altar atop the mountain.

Offering sacrifices to Heaven!

after that.

They also held a ceremony to worship the earth in the capital of the barbarian tribes.

In this battle, 15,000 soldiers of the Hongze Battalion, led by Chen Sanshi, fought.

Drinking water from the frozen river, sealing the wolf's lair, and performing the Zen ceremony in the barbarian capital!

Soon after.

The four barbarian tribes abandoned Dadu and led the surviving members of their respective tribes to retreat north of Yinshan Mountain. They signed a treaty promising never to invade Dasheng Fertile Land again.

After this battle, there will be no royal court in the southern desert!

north.

The Extinction Array successfully sealed the evil vein.

The defensive barrier that Master Deng and the leader of the Witch God Cult relied on, which relied on the evil veins, was also completely destroyed.

Wen Zhi and Shao Yujing's eyes gradually became excited.

"I'll blame your ancestors!"

Wen Zhi roared and picked up his twin swords, slashing wildly.

Shao Yujing also unleashed his Heavenly Sword Technique, and in an instant, sword light flashed across the sky.

"court death!"

The blood sacrifice formation failed at the last minute.

This was bad news for Master Deng and the others, but it was also a way out, meaning they could leave this place and escape to safety.

The vajra on the chest of the leader of the Witch God Cult exuded a malevolent aura.

Master Deng's flying sword split into two, eventually becoming eight flying swords that hovered in front of him.

until……

Two large, aged hands.

They each placed their hands on their shoulders.

Immortal Master Deng and the leader of the Witch God Sect instantly became immobile targets, turning into corpses under the twin blades and sword light.

The remaining few cultists and monks met the same fate.

"My son!"

Wen Zhi threw down his weapon, collapsed to the ground, and wept bitterly: "Father has avenged you!"

"..."

Shao Yujing sheathed his longsword and closed his eyes to calm his mind.

Thousands of feet above the sky.

The Longqing Emperor controlled the Spirit Extinction Array, completely destroying the evil veins, from which a monstrous evil aura surged forth.

A look of surprise appeared on his usually calm face. He continuously formed hand seals and cast spells to envelop the evil energy, while sealing his acupoints. Even so, a few wisps of malevolent energy still managed to invade his body.

"Sun Xiangzong, why didn't you tell me that sealing the evil veins would backfire on yourself?"

As he spoke, he cast a spell and sent the bead back into the old man's hand.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry to get it, and this old minister has no chance to speak."

Sun Xiangzong took the bead and completed the unfinished seal. Wisps of malevolent energy seeped into his meridians through the bead. Facing the backlash, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he took full responsibility for it.

His already weakened aura became even more corrupt, but unexpectedly, the true energy emanating from his body seemed to be strengthened, rising steadily, and black light surged in his pupils, making him resemble an ancient demon cultivator.

He said calmly, “The evil vein is different from the spiritual vein. To seal the evil vein, not only is the Spirit Extinction Array required, but also one’s own body is needed to bear it. Therefore, I had cultivated some demonic arts in advance. However, I still have to thank Your Majesty for helping me share the burden. Otherwise, with my crippled body, I would not have been able to withstand the backlash of evil energy after activating the Spirit Extinction Array.”

"Haha~"

The Longqing Emperor looked at the increased true power emanating from him, his eyelids twitching almost imperceptibly twice, before he said calmly, "It's alright. I am only doing this to protect the millions of people in Liangzhou. Once this matter is settled, I will not stay any longer."

Finished speaking.

He soared into the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Sun Xiangzong also quickly left the place.

Only after returning to the governor's mansion did he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground.

……

Youzhou.

After reinforcements from various regions arrived one after another.

The war ended in the shortest possible time.

The rest is just some finishing touches.
