Nanling Town.

Several years ago, the Han Dynasty had already deployed a large number of troops to garrison this place.

After the imperial edict to attack Tianshui was issued, generals from various departments rushed from the capital, ready to be dispatched at any time.

After making arrangements in Tianshui, Chen Sanshi returned to Tianshui Island for his final seclusion, before facing the final moment.

……

Tianshuizhou.

Beiyang Road.

"Bah-"

The captain of Tianyong City, who was lying in ambush in a valley, successfully attacked two disciples of the Shengyun Sect once again, and then quickly retreated and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the scene, two figures silently witnessed the entire incident.

"Senior Brother Peng, are we really just going to stand by and watch?"

Wang Jun couldn't help but feel a pang of pity as he watched his fellow disciples shed their blood on the ground.

There's a saying: "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Peng Rui calmly said, "These people are very cunning. They won't show themselves unless there's a chance for a successful attack. How would we find their hiding place then?"

Wang Jun had no rebuttal.

"Chase!"

Peng Rui crushed several talismans, transforming himself into a falcon and following closely behind the Tianyong City Captain.

Wang Jun then used his escape technique to follow closely behind.

The two chased each other for more than half a day until they reached the mountainside of a desolate mountain, where they saw with their own eyes a dilapidated mountain god temple hidden in the dense jungle.

The area around the temple was bustling with people, clearly the secret base of the "demonic cultivators".

"Oh, so that's where it was hidden!"

Peng Rui was overjoyed at achieving his goal: "Let's go back and inform the elder so he can send men to avenge my junior brother Zhang on a chosen day."

After they finished speaking, they left the place one after the other.

Inside the mountain god temple.

"The person should have already left."

Su Can said, "Just as Master predicted, they took the bait."

"pat-"

Zhou Weizhen tossed aside the head of the Shengyun Sect disciple in his hand, and said somewhat dazedly, "Aren't these people all from prestigious sects? Do we really have to exterminate them all?"

"Brother Zhou, have you lost your mind?"

Yu Ji said, "What nonsense about prestigious sects! They are enemies of our great Han Dynasty, and they will never give up their desire to destroy us! If we don't wipe out the Tianshui bandit sect, they will threaten the Eastern Continent in the future."

"..."

Zhou Weizhen did not refute, but his gaze was complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.

……

Twilight Valley.

Cave.

The spirit-gathering array was operating at full capacity, raising the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area to a new level.

Chen Sanshi sat cross-legged on the futon, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After repeated refining through his meridians, he stored it in his dantian.

Understand yourself from within.

Within his dantian, there was a vast ocean, into which wisps of magical power transformed into rain, continuously falling and increasing the height of Fahai.

Until one moment, the rain became increasingly torrential, as if the Milky Way were pouring down from the heavens, irrigating the vast ocean.

[Cultivation Technique: Fire Devouring Technique, Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: Fire Vein]

[Fire Vein: Possesses multiple flames, which can be freely controlled, replacing the traditional fire vein and continuing indefinitely.]

Simply put, from now on, refining pills will no longer require the aid of fire veins. The magical fire generated by oneself will be equivalent to fire veins, allowing one to refine pills anytime, anywhere.

The most effective effect is [Uninterrupted], which greatly reduces mana consumption and makes battles more sustainable.

nowadays.

Chen Sanshi possesses late-stage martial arts true power and mid-stage foundation building in the immortal path. With the combination of these two, he would not be inferior to even a late-stage foundation building cultivator.

If it weren't for Shou Zhongzi's existence, he could have roamed freely in Beiyang Road.

"Rumble--"

A loud noise came from outside the cave.

Chen Sanshi opened the window with a flick of his sleeve and saw that it was indeed in the direction of the main peak of Daze.

The golden light of the Demon-Slaying Array became even more dazzling, almost obscuring the sun within. Even from a great distance, its power could be felt.

Time is running out!

The loosening of the seal on heaven and earth will not be timely, meaning that it could be shaken at any time in the next two months.

The decisive opportunity has arrived.

Chen Sanshi exhaled a breath of stale air, officially ending his seclusion.

"Little bamboo!"

"The slave is here!"

Dongfang Jingxing entered in response: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. It is expected that the people of Shengyun Sect will take the bait in the next few days."

"We will spend several dozen days inside the mountain god temple, at which point the Shengyun Sect will have to send several times more disciples to surround it."

"With so many disciples in distress, I refuse to believe that Shouzhongzi could simply ignore it!"

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi paused, his expression turning serious: "Little Bamboo, do the brothers of Tianyong City know what this means?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Dongfang Jingxing resolutely declared, "Even if I die, I will buy His Majesty and the army a little more time!"

"Do not."

Chen Sanshi shook his head slightly: "After it's done, you should retreat immediately and scatter. Every one of you who survives is a winner."

If Shouzhongzi really went to the mountain god's temple and found out that he had been tricked, would he just give up?

No, before rushing back to Dazefang City, he will most likely wipe out the Tianyong City captains.

That's right, the captains of Tianyong City in this round...

They're expendable pawns!

War is cruel; the saying "one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand" is not just a lament, but an unchangeable fact.

Just like before, without the sacrifice of Lieutenant General Yu Song, how could there have been the victory of directly attacking Meishan?

"Little bamboo".

Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice, "Go and transfer the Yu brothers, Yu Ji and Yu Lie, away. They don't need to stay at the Mountain God Temple."

As for the others, such as Senior Brother Wang Zhi, even if they knew they were going to die, they would never back down.

Again...

dead!

Old grudges remain unresolved, and new ones are already being set up!

When Chen Sanshi made this decision, he no longer hesitated much, because he knew that he had to do it and had to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Divine Continent.

Now he has achieved the ideal of "loving his soldiers like his own children and using them like mud," and is increasingly resembling a qualified general, a qualified... emperor!

"It is I..."

Looking at the sky bathed in golden light, Chen Sanshi slowly closed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly: "Useless."

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Dongfang Jingxing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is only forty years old. Compared to cultivators with long lifespans, you are still a very young junior. But Your Majesty can already protect the peace of this world in front of them. How can you belittle yourself?"

"This is not my achievement alone."

Chen Sanshi didn't say anything more: "Alright, you can go now."

"According to the order!"

Dongfang Jingxing left in a hurry

"boom--"

At the same time, intense strange phenomena reappeared.

This time, however, it didn't come from Osawa City, but from Twilight Valley.
