Star Trace Gate

Sunset Town.

In this third-grade secret place, the battle has now reached a pitch-black state.

Above the ancient town, there were mysterious lights and the roar of the avenue.

Above the sky, dark clouds covered the sky and heavy snow fell slowly like goose feathers, just like the corpses fallen in the battle, their lives ended when they gently landed on the ground.

In the ancient town, Ren Ye and Big Fat Dragon led more than a thousand people to charge out of the town three times, but with little success, and there was almost no possibility of escaping from the battlefield.

On the enemy side, Bau personally commanded more than 20,000 soldiers, 10,000 of whom surrounded the entire town like an iron barrel; 10,000 of them controlled bows, crossbows, hidden weapons, and poisonous gases, harassing and charging continuously.

Above the ancient town, the purple-robed old monster who came to assist Han Chan, Li Baishou, Chi Shui Niangniang and other eight fourth-grade masters, with more than fifty third-grade masters and hundreds of second-grade masters, fought only with the top masters of Ren Ye's side, intending to delay them, and then slowly separate them and surround and annihilate them.

Ren Ye's side was caught in an unprecedented tough battle. Top masters like Li Yan, Feng Lin, Ai Fei and others all displayed their unique skills. They flew swiftly over the town and used the vast space to deal with them.

However, if this continues, it will only delay time. Once the top combat power is exhausted and the number of deaths among Zheng Ningshan's soldiers gradually increases, it will be a situation where they will inevitably lose if they defend for a long time.

There were simply too many enemies, covering the entire mountain and field, endless.

Moreover, this place is a third-grade secret realm. Li Yan, Fenglin, and Big Fat Dragon are all suppressed by the laws of nature here. They are simply unable to use fourth-grade magical abilities and many spells. They are restricted everywhere.

Of course, Li Baishou, Chishui Niangniang and other fourth-rank masters were also demoted to enter this area and were also suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, but they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

When a person at the peak of the fourth rank enters the third rank, his combat power is second only to the Heavenly Dao.

The eight of them besieged Li Yan, Fenglin, Big Fat Dragon, and the concubine who controlled the four Night Wanderers, and it was a situation where each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

but!

There are more than fifty third-grade masters of supernatural powers on the periphery, waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Whenever they see a high-grade master on Ren Ye's side being held back, they will collectively display their supernatural powers in an attempt to kill one of them first, thus breaking the balance of combat power.

If Ren Ke was not able to fight at the third rank, and Yin Guang, Zheng Ningshan, more than a dozen Golden Scale Owl Guards who had entered the third rank, as well as the four boys and Xu Bangzi and others, all had strong combat capabilities, then they might not even have a chance to delay time.

In the air above an inn, a huge blue arm, as if covering the sky with one hand, was photographed from the air.

"Boom!"

With one palm strike, three houses were reduced to dust in an instant, the ground cracked, and thick smoke rose.

The fat dragon was like a celestial monarch, his entire body enveloped in a thick purple aura. He controlled his dark blue spiritual arm with his mind and suddenly grabbed forward: "How lucky are you to slay a dragon? You're not fucking qualified?!"

"Snapped!"

A vanguard general under the Bau was about to rein in his horse to dodge, but he and his horse were grabbed by the huge blue hand.

"puff!"

With a light squeeze of his palm, the man and horse were shattered into a ball of meat and thrown into the crowd.

"Boom!!"

The fat dragon's aura rose to its highest point, and it soared into the air, heading towards a purple-robed old monster from the Yu Lin Party.

In mid-air, the old monster squinted at the fat dragon and sneered, "No wonder there are rumors that Prince Ren of Southern Xinjiang is the one personally chosen by Emperor Wanwu to succeed him. He is named Ren and has a magical item like the Wushen Spirit Arm... Hehe, your father, the emperor, is really good to you. He even gave you an arm of the Wushen... Could it be that he doesn't want to break through the limit and step into the Supreme?"

“Wait until I twist your head off and stuff it into the skin eye of Goddess Chishui, then I’ll tell you why my father gave me this spiritual arm!” The fat dragon roared, controlling only the spiritual arm and punching the opponent.

"?!"

Goddess Chishui was scolded for no reason and was stunned for a moment.

"Your opponent is me! He puts it in, and I take it out!" Li Yan's body is like a dragon, with blood surging.

"brush!"

Lady Chishui dodged and cursed, "Dirty and reckless man..."

On the cliff.

Han Chan stood facing the wind, staring at the sunset battlefield, and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that this fat dragon is also a fourth-grade supernatural power. Before, he was quite hiding his shortcomings."

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Peng walked over from behind and replied calmly, "Prince, it's normal for you to hide your incompetence before."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a fourth-rank warrior or not." Han Chan looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and said with a firm expression: "If nothing unexpected happens, the overall situation here is settled."

"The man in the court set up this trap to kill the dragon and seize the fortune, and a minister in the cabinet has exposed it." Monk Peng said: "For these two dragons, he also paid a huge price."

Han Chan narrowed her eyes and asked calmly, "I know how to slay a dragon, but how do I take away this luck?"

"Mr. Han, you don't need to worry about this. When the two dragons are tied up, just hand them over to me." Monk Peng replied calmly, "The people in the court have given me the secret method and have set up a large formation in advance. The two dragons will be deprived of their luck and will die. You can bring the bodies back to Daqian to ask for credit. Killing a prince from Southern Xinjiang and beheading the nephew that Emperor Jing hates the most, this kind of great achievement... is rare to come by."

Han Chan was neither happy nor excited. She only glanced at Ren Ye and the others who were still struggling, and said softly, "The Soul Banner and Blood Pill are ready. I will go see Guan Feng now. You will take charge here."

"Okay." Monk Peng nodded slightly.

"brush!"

Han Chan quickly turned around and left, preparing to do the last thing in southern Xinjiang.

Sunset over town.

After Ren Ye repelled the two supernatural powers with one sword, he angrily sent a voice message to the fat dragon: "Damn it, I don't believe that you, the second prince of Southern Xinjiang, didn't give you any means to save your life after entering the martial arts world?! If you have the ability, use it quickly. If you drag it on any longer, you will all die here!"

While fighting with the others, the fat dragon replied, "I am not the worm in Guan Feng and Han Chan's stomach. I can predict their move, but I can't predict when and where! If I can see through everything, why would you investigate the case! Isn't it better to just kill people directly?"

"What do you mean? Are you going to wait here to die?" Ren Ye immediately replied: "If that's the case, then I will take my people and leave first...!"

"I fucking promise you! The reinforcements will be here soon!" The big fat dragon didn't know where he got the confidence from, and he said firmly: "We don't need to rush out to fight, just stay here!"

Ren Ye looked at the densely packed rebels around him, holding his sword and angrily yelled, "I will only trust you for three minutes...!"

……

Kyoto, Wushen Palace.

Emperor Wanwu sat on the dragon throne, holding a secret letter in his right hand, with his head lowered and his eyes staring straight at his feet.

The secret letter had just arrived, and its content was very concise - Bau rebelled in Lingnan Prefecture, and the Qianli Green Camp, without receiving any imperial edict, gathered bandits and went down the mountain to attack the three areas of Lingnan.

There was no ripple on his old face, nor was there any anger. He only asked softly, "Jin Guoting - where is Lord Jin?"

"Your Majesty, we have checked and he is in the palace." The eunuch next to him immediately bent down and replied, "Your Majesty, do you want to touch him?"

"It's just an old thing put on the stage. No need to rush..." Emperor Wanwu shook his head and asked again: "Where is the stinky rat?"

"Lord Rat replied one stick of incense ago. He has led 30,000 soldiers to Sunset Town with the generals of the three prefectures of Haizhou. Since you notified the generals of the three prefectures of Haizhou to prepare for war in advance and secretly sent Lord Rat, the soldiers gathered quickly and set out as soon as they heard the letter." After the eunuch replied, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, this old servant has something unclear."

Emperor Wanwu glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "What's the matter?"

"The Second Prince is in danger, and the situation is extremely urgent. If we calculate based on the distance, the First Prince might be able to get there faster if he sets out from Hezhou Prefecture." The eunuch said bluntly, "Why... why didn't you give orders to the First Prince, and didn't you give orders to Qianli Green Camp?"

Emperor Wanwu sat there, silent for a few breaths, then waved his hand: "You can leave, I want to be alone."

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and left.

Emperor Wanwu raised his hand and waved it, and the gauze curtain in the hall fell down by itself, hiding his figure.

He slowly closed his eyes and thought as if in meditation.

……

Hezhou Prefecture, Tianxiong Pass Camp.

The eldest prince sat on the handsome chair, his chin resting on his right hand, and remained silent.

Next to him, Zhang Hong, the governor of Hezhou Prefecture, half-bent over, asked in a hurried tone, "Your Highness, this Bau rebelled and joined forces with the Daqian bandits to surround and kill the Second Prince. The Qianli Green Camp has also gathered tens of thousands of bandits, and their horses are trampling on the three places of Lingnan... We are so close, are you really not going to send troops?"

The eldest prince slowly turned his head, looked at the other person calmly, and asked softly: "Where is this place?"

Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's Hezhou Prefecture!"

"Father, do you know that this place is close to Sunset Town?" the eldest prince asked again.

"Well... then of course I know."

"When did we receive the news of the Bau rebellion?"

"It's been half an hour...!" Zhang Hong's brows were already furrowed at this moment.

"Yes, it's been half an hour. If you can get the call, then the emperor can certainly get it too... He also knows that we are very close to Sunset Town, but he didn't issue an order for me to send troops." The eldest prince slowly stood up, looked outside the tent and said, "...Don't be too smart. If there is no order, then we are not needed."

"I understand." Zhang Hong immediately clasped his fists and said no more.

……

Lingnan West Gate, inside the city gate.

Eight thousand defenders all stood on the top of the city wall, holding spears and steel swords, standing on both sides of the large crossbows and artillery carts, ready for battle.

“Ouch—!”

At this moment, the cry of a bird suddenly sounded in the sky.

The leading general immediately looked up at the dark sky and saw a dozen blue forest birds flying from the west.

"Tap tap...!"

Soon after, from the mountains outside the Great Wall, the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth was heard, and torches instantly entered the forest, lighting up the black mountains within a radius of dozens of miles.

Soon, smoke suddenly rose on the official road, and dense groups of bandits riding tall horses rushed straight to the outside of the city.

When the general saw this scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he turned around and ran towards the watchtower.

Inside the building, Bau's nephew Tao Ziliang, now wearing armor, was sitting behind a desk drinking tea.

"Report——!"

The general who came in to report the incident knelt on the ground in a state of complete disarray, and shouted, "General Tao... Pass... There are a large number of bandits rushing in from outside the pass, so densely packed, the number of whom is unknown!"

"Oh, damn it!"

Tao Ziliang stood up suddenly and sneered, "My uncle is really good at predicting things. The Qianli Green Camp has really made some moves! To rush from Meishan to Luori Town, we must pass through Lingnan Prefecture! Tell the generals, don't be afraid, we have the advantage of the city wall and the third-grade magic weapon to protect the city. Even if they come with 20,000 or 30,000 people, they can't even step into the city!"

"Take my sword, and follow me to the top of the city wall to fight!"

He roared and walked out of the building.

Soon, the stars and the moon became bright. Tao Ziliang climbed to the top of the city wall and looked into the distance.

The official road ahead was already filled with densely packed bandits, and at a glance there were at least tens of thousands of them.

In the direction of Meishan, countless beacons were lit up, connecting hundreds of miles, and a large number of brothers from far away were rushing here.

More than ten green forest birds were circling in the sky. The second and third rank generals could vaguely see someone standing on the back of the birds.

Tao Ziliang glanced around and shouted in high spirits: "All troops, line up and fight!"

"Shua...!"

At the command, the 8,000 defenders on the city wall all took their positions, ready to kill the enemy with bows, crossbows, chariots, and city-defending artillery.

"Ow!"

At this moment, a blue forest bird swooped down from the dark sky.

Yan Bo stood on the bird's back, looking down at the entire city wall and yelling, "The leader of our Qianli Green Camp has said that the rebellion of Bau is an act of greed. In order to protect the young Prince Huai and the second prince, our Green Camp must pass through this place! Guards below, if you know what's good for you, open the city gates immediately and welcome our Green Forest Army into the city wall!"

"Fuck you!"

Tao Ziliang came up with a series of three qualities: "You are the Yan Bo, right?! My name is Tao Ziliang, and I am the nephew of the Golden Wolf General! Do you think I can let you in?! A bunch of ruffians who can't even unify their armor, and you still want to capture the official city?"

"I'm telling you clearly, the eight thousand defenders in the city can defeat thirty thousand!"

"When you get there, King Huai's body will have been chopped into pieces!"

"If you know what's best for you, get out of here and don't ruin my drinking pleasure!"

"...!"

He angrily scolded Yan Bo, speaking five sentences per second.

Yan Bo stood on the bird's back and whispered, "Foolish pig, even gods can't save you."

After saying this, the Green Forest Bird soared into the sky and returned to the sky.

On the dark sky, the handsome dragon head looked down at the city gate and said calmly: "Please, eight old ministers, let the name of our Green Camp be famous in southern Xinjiang from today!!"

"I have received your order!"

"I have received your order!"

"...!"

In the eight directions of the city, on the back of each of the eight green forest birds stood an old man.

They looked at Guancheng calmly, and seemed to recall the scene when they conquered the world with the previous Dragon Lord.

"Boom boom boom...!"

Under the stars and the moon, the eight old men raised their arms at the same time, and their bodies burst into a bright light like the sun.

The star power rose to its maximum, and the surrounding mountains were suddenly filled with strong winds, sweeping across the earth like a storm.

At the front, the old man who was the leader of the Eight Old Ministers, dressed in a white robe, was the first to summon his life-defining magic weapon, and gently lifted it up, saying loudly: "My child has grown up, and is going to take the stage in this chaotic world!!"

"Hunyuan Sword—go!"

"Boom!"

The sword light shot towards the moon, from top to bottom, straight towards the city gate.

"Whizzing……!"

At the same time, the other seven people's natal magic weapons all emitted brilliant light, like seven long rainbows, smashing towards the Lingnan city gate like a breaking sun.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, everything fell silent.

Thick smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the main gate of the city collapsed, turning into powder and floating in the air.

The defending general Tao Ziliang turned into flying catkins amid his own angry curses...

"Little Dragon Lord... the door to the troubled times is now open." The old man, who was the leader of the Eight Old Ministers, bowed slightly.

The dragon head on the back of the Qinglin Bird smiled slightly, revealing its shining silver teeth, and roared, "Let the horses go, enter the pass! Those who lead troops will be killed, and do not disturb the civilians, and do not kill the soldiers!"

At the command, tens of thousands of troops galloped straight into the pass.

This voice, like a dragon roaring at the border, completely opened the door for the Qianli Green Camp to step onto the stage.
