A million troops, each soldier holding a prisoner, soared into the sky and soon descended once more outside the moat of Yue City.

At this moment, the sky was about to darken.

Darkness shrouded the earth.

A sliver of yellow moon hung faintly on the horizon, with scattered stars and a gentle night breeze blowing.

Under the night moon, the Yue River remained vast and serene, appearing calm and peaceful. No one could tell the lurking danger beneath its waters.

Wang Xiaoqiang ordered the army to halt by the moat. Then, flying above the troops, he commanded, "Soldiers, listen to my order: disperse into the Ring Spirit Formation, using the prisoners as shields beneath you. Cross the river with utmost speed!"

The soldiers responded with a roar, dispersing into the Ring Spirit Formation and shielding the prisoners beneath them as they flew across the Yue River.

As the troops crossed the Yue River, the water talismans in the river were triggered.

Tens of thousands of water talismans lit up, making the surface of the vast moat sparkle like it was lit by thousands of lanterns, competing with the stars and moon in the sky. From afar, it looked as if the Milky Way had descended to the human world, extraordinarily magnificent and splendid.

Then…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The air was filled with a rapid, dense sound as water guns shot out from the water. These water guns appeared like ordinary spearheads but were thousands or tens of thousands of times more powerful than ordinary ones,

each water gun was covered with talismans, with indistinct chanting emanating from them, filled with a mysterious and intimidating aura.

Then…

Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack…

The water guns pierced through the bodies of the prisoners, who were now bristling with them like porcupines, spraying blood and falling into the moat.

A cacophony of beastly roars followed, deafening, as hundreds upon thousands of corpses were dragged into the river, causing the water to churn and surge, blossoming with large plumes of blood.

Hundreds of living beings, soldiers of the True Immortal Realm, perished in the blink of an eye!

The soldiers who used the prisoners' bodies as shields dodged the fatal attacks by a hair's breadth, quickly crossing the moat afterward, but they did not forcibly fly into the city. Instead, they regrouped outside the city walls, forming into the Ring Spirit Formation,

forming Myriad Circle Spirit Formations and Thousand-Position Spirit Formations one after another. By the time Wang Xiaoqiang had already crossed the moat with the Heavenly Demon, Leng Qingqiu, and the Flower Demon.

Wang Xiaoqiang had put the three women into the Sumeru Ring before flying over the river, and the water guns that shot at him all broke upon his Undying Golden Body. None could pierce his body.

Having crossed the Yue River, Wang Xiaoqiang released the three women from the ring again.

At this time, Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing that the troops had crossed the Yue River using prisoners without any casualties and were now arrayed in formation outside the city, felt a surge of relief in his heart.

Now, there was one final line of defense in front of the army—the city walls. Wang Xiaoqiang did not know if there were Earth Talismans on the walls, and he intended to test it out.

So he flew above the city walls, circling once.

As he passed over the walls, the Earth Talismans set up on them lit up, like thousands of lanterns being ignited on the walls,

then the sound of whoosh whoosh whoosh rang out, dense as reeds, as earth guns shot up from the water. These earth guns outwardly resembled ordinary spearheads, but because they carried Earth Talismans, they were thousands or tens of thousands of times more powerful. Each earth gun was covered with talismans, with indistinct chanting emanating from them, filled with a mysterious and intimidating aura.

Then…

They shot towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Thousands upon thousands of earth guns shot towards Wang Xiaoqiang, causing the soldiers outside the city to be terror-stricken. However, the terrifying scene of the body being pierced by a multitude of arrows did not occur. The earth guns shattered upon impacting Wang Xiaoqiang's body, none able to penetrate it.

Wang Xiaoqiang flew back and commanded, "Attack the city!"

Wang Xiaoqiang, with his Undying Golden Body, could easily fly over the city walls, but the soldiers could not. Thus, they had to take the brute approach—siege the city.

Once the city walls were breached, the Earth Talismans would be destroyed as well.

The Myriad Circle Spirit Formations roared into motion, each unleashing the Immortal Emperor, ultimately culminating in the summoning of one hundred and ten Immortal Emperors. These Immortal Emperor Warriors used their Magic Treasures to siege the city.

Boom boom boom boom boom…

The Magic Treasures, wielded by the Immortal Emperors, were unfathomably powerful, exploding like missiles when they hit the city walls.

With loud crashes, the city walls crumbled and shattered, debris and dust filling the sky.

Once the walls were breached, the Earth Talismans and the defending Yue Kingdom Army collapsed along with them without further resistance.

"Charge! Charge charge! Charge charge charge!"

The million-strong army shouted thunderously, storming into Yue City and flying towards the Imperial Palace,

The garrison troops stationed at Yue City Plaza, seeing this, all raised their heads to the sky. Upon witnessing the enormous army advancing toward the Imperial Palace, they were utterly shocked. They then took flight to intercept.

However, the garrison troops only numbered around a hundred thousand. Even though their cultivation base was at the Immortal Venerable Stage, they could only be slaughtered by the Myriad Circle Spirit Formations.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack…

In an instant, the hundred-thousand-strong army was slain by the Myriad Circle Spirit Formations, their bodies ruptured, limbs and torsos falling, creating a rain of flesh and blood over the Imperial Palace.

Having decimated the garrison troops, the million-strong army spread out, surrounding the Imperial Palace, densely packed like clouds and fog, instilling terror. It gave the impression of a storm about to topple the city.

Outside the Imperial Governance Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The civil and military officials of the Yue Kingdom, along with Madame Gou Yi, stood gazing up at the night sky's dense Yellow Dragon Empire troops. Their faces turned pale, panic-stricken, and even Madame Gou Yi couldn't help but feel the same. This influential figure in the Yue Kingdom, the Empress, felt a tinge of despair rising in her heart.

"Report!" A scout rushed in to report, "The enemy has crossed the Yue River, breached the city walls, and annihilated the garrison troops. They are now surrounding the Imperial Palace…"

"How many are the enemy?" Madame Gou Yi inquired.

"Report to Madame, over two million."

"How many did the enemy sacrifice in crossing the river, breaching the walls, and defeating our garrison?"

"Report to Madame, none at all!" the scout replied.

"Alright, your task is complete!" Madame Gou Yi's face showed a trace of frustration. With those words, she flicked her five fingers, and five beams of light shot out, piercing the scout's chest like sharp arrows. Blood spurted forth, and the scout cried out in pain, falling dead to the ground.

The civil and military officials of the Yue Kingdom, upon hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang had taken Yue City without a single casualty, were utterly unnerved. Seeing that the situation was irredeemable, they had initially intended to persuade Madame Gou Yi to surrender, but witnessing her killing the scout, they dared not speak, standing there in utter despair, cold sweat streaming down.

Madame Gou Yi looked up at the night sky, her face icy, flipping her hand to take out a Jade Talisman. With a grip, she crushed it, and a beam of light shot up, exploding in the sky like fireworks, brilliantly dazzling.

After the Communication Talisman exploded, a team of a thousand female soldiers flew from the majestic mountain behind the Imperial Palace, all at the Immortal King Stage. (To be continued.
