The Yan King finished speaking, and someone promptly went to draft the decree.

Seeing the Yan King agree to use the power of incense offerings to invite Supreme Fairy Zixia to descend to the Lower Realm, the courtiers all relaxed considerably, rejoicing greatly. As long as Supreme Fairy Zixia is willing to descend to fend off the enemy, with her cultivation base at the Immortal Emperor Realm, not to mention one Wang Xiaoqiang, even ten Wang Xiaoqiangs wouldn't be a match!

The minister who proposed the idea earlier now spoke again, "Your Majesty, this old minister has another plan, with a seventy percent chance of ensuring Supreme Fairy Zixia descends."

"Hmm, what method do you have, quickly speak," the Yan King replied with his tiger-like eyes shining brightly, staring at him.

"The hometown of Supreme Fairy Zixia is Jingzhou, which is near the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Yellow Dragon Empire. If Wang Xiaoqiang first attacks Jingzhou and lets Supreme Fairy Zixia see it, seeing her hometown in distress, she would surely be unable to bear it..."

"Brilliant, this plan is very clever!"

Before he could finish speaking, the courtiers applauded one after another, and the Yan King stroked his beard and nodded, smiling, "Yes, not bad, let's proceed with this plan."

"Although Jingzhou is at the border between the two countries, it is ultimately a small place. Wang Xiaoqiang is unlikely to attack Jingzhou..." someone shook their head and said.

"This is easy! Jingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Marquis Dongbo. Your Majesty can order Marquis Dongbo to provoke Wang Xiaoqiang or attack the enemy forces, luring Wang Xiaoqiang to attack Jingzhou. No matter how clever Wang Xiaoqiang is, he would never suspect it's a ploy. Given his personality, he will certainly first annihilate Jingzhou..."

"Hmm, makes sense!" The Yan King clapped his palm in praise, "Let's proceed with this plan. Let there be no leaks, whoever leaks the plan, will have their nine clans exterminated!"

"Yes!" the courtiers agreed.

...

That night.

Wang Xiaoqiang commanded his army into the Yan Kingdom's territory, finding the fief of a Yan Kingdom prince at the border region. He sounded the horn and began the siege.

The Yan Kingdom's national strength was weak, far inferior to the Yue Kingdom. The prince's fief was swiftly breached by Wang Xiaoqiang's army, and the prince's manor was seized.

Wang Xiaoqiang captured the prince, forcing him to hand over all the gold coins in his manor. The prince was sensible, willing to sacrifice his wealth to save his life, handing over all the gold coins.

After collecting the gold coins, Wang Xiaoqiang led his army away from the prince's fief, advancing deeper into the Yan Kingdom, when he saw a ten-thousand-strong force approaching him, but not engaging in battle, instead taunting from afar:

"Wang Xiaoqiang, heartless traitor, may you die a horrible death!"

"Wang Xiaoqiang, violating rights and humiliating the nation, it's a great betrayal that deserves a thousand deaths!"

"Wang Xiaoqiang, abusing men and dominating women, worse than a beast, after death will surely enter Hell!"

...

The ten-thousand-strong force cursed loudly, their insults echoing through the sky, earsplitting.

With his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang scanned and found it was a very ordinary army, with individual prowess around the True Immortal Realm, weak in strength, the leader of the group, however, was at the Immortal King Realm.

Such a force, in front of Wang Xiaoqiang's army, was akin to cannon fodder, logically, they wouldn't dare provoke him actively.

Wang Xiaoqiang found it peculiar, but seeing that they were cursing him by name, his anger surged, deploying ten Myriad Circle Spirit Formations to attack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Myriad Circle Spirit Formations activated, the force retreated, cursing as they withdrew.

"Little Qiang, the enemy is trying to lure us, don't fall for it!" Leng Qingqiu warned.

"The Yan Kingdom's national strength has declined, the Yan King is merely at the Immortal Emperor Stage, not even as strong as Madame Gou Yi, why fear him!" Heavenly Demon said, "Moreover, before us is just cannon fodder, since they dared to provoke, let's annihilate them all! Teach the Yan Kingdom a lesson."

"Hmm, those who dare insult me shall die!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Pass down the order, the whole army attacks! Wipe out this force."

Orders were issued, a million troops activated, rampaging ferociously towards that force.

The leader of the force was Marquis Dongbo, who, following the Yan King's orders, personally led troops to lure the enemy, yet unexpectedly, the plan couldn't keep up with changes, as before he could lead Wang Xiaojun's army into Jingzhou, he was crushed ruthlessly by Wang Xiaoqiang's army.

Boom boom boom boom…

Several hundred thousand troops rushed in, a waves of massacre ensued, Marquis Dongbo's ten-thousand-strong force was utterly annihilated, under the night sky. A vast blood rain fell on a field of corpses.

Relying on his Immortal King Realm cultivation, Marquis Dongbo resisted while fleeing towards Jingzhou.

Wang Xiaoqiang pursued, pulling out the Penglai Immortal Sword, he wanted to test the Sword Spirit power during the Sword Embryo Stage on Marquis Dongbo.

Marquis Dongbo's eight elephant realm Immortal King cultivation, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang catching up, immediately released the elephant shaped beast within, eight crazed pythons emitted terrifying hissing sounds, lunging at Wang Xiaoqiang, who released seven Thunder Elephants from within to fend them off.

Boom boom boom boom...

Though Wang Xiaoqiang's Thunder Elephants were fewer in number than the opponent's crazed pythons, the pythons shattered under the Thunder Elephants' assault, failing to resist.

Marquis Dongbo knew Wang Xiaoqiang was formidable but hadn't expected him to be this powerful, able to overwhelm him across realms using merely Qi Refining Cultivation, terrified, he fled desperately.

Wang Xiaoqiang's figure flickered, closing in on Marquis Dongbo, slashing with his sword.

Seeing this, Marquis Dongbo panicked, pulling out his Immortal Sword to block.

From the Penglai Immortal Sword, accompanied by a shrill cry akin to a newborn's first wail, the sword light flashed with a silhouette like a fetus, crashing into Marquis Dongbo's Immortal Sword.

Crack!

In the instant the two swords collided, Marquis Dongbo's Immortal Sword instantly shattered.

"What? Sword…Sword Spirit…??" Marquis Dongbo stared in fear at Wang Xiaoqiang's Penglai Immortal Sword.

"That's right!" Wang Xiaoqiang let out a cold laugh, unleashing the second slash.

Swish!

Marquis Dongbo's head was directly sliced off. Blood sprayed from the body cavity, like a fountain.

The sword absorbed the blood onto its blade, soon being drawn into the Sword Body.

Seeing the Sword Spirit absorb Marquis Dongbo's blood, Wang Xiaoqiang was momentarily stunned, hmm? Could it be that the Sword Spirit not only absorbs my blood but can also absorb others' blood? In that case, slaying more enemies in the future would spare me from depleting my Essence Blood!

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was contemplating this, a million-strong force approached from the front, similar to Marquis Dongbo's army, cursing loudly before they reached close, their insults unbearable.

This force was part of Yan King's plan, fearing Marquis Dongbo couldn't lure the enemy into Jingzhou. Of course, if this force is annihilated, another will step in to curse, in short, sparing no effort, they aim to lure Wang Xiaoqiang's army into Jingzhou.

"Little Qiang, they're trying to trick us again, don't fall for it!" Leng Qingqiu warned once more.

Heavenly Demon also discerned the enemy's deceit, and said, "Hmm, there's a sign of trickery, but we can't just let them insult us, can we?"

"Activate a hundred Myriad Circle Spirit Formations, engage them, the remaining troops stand by for orders," Wang Xiaoqiang suppressed his inner anger, issuing commands.

Boom!

A hundred Myriad Circle Spirit Formations activated with a roar, charging towards the taunting enemy, relentless in annihilation.

While battling, the enemy retreated, enticing Wang Xiaoqiang's forces towards Jingzhou.

A pursuit ensued.

Finally, after suffering half their casualties, the Yan Kingdom's million-strong army lured Wang Xiaoqiang's hundred Myriad Circle Spirit Formations into Jingzhou.

The stationed Yan Army in Jingzhou was fully mobilized, millions of troops surrounded the hundred Myriad Circle Spirit Formations.

The two sides engaged in an arduous battle over Jingzhou.

Just then…

The entire Yan Kingdom, households burned incense, each praying.

Incense smoke drifted, prayers dense as insects.

In front of the Heaven Worship Altar at the Yan Capital City Palace, all ministers dressed in official robes, solemnly stood, collectively burning incense and praying.

The Yan King clad in a dragon robe, stood before the altar, holding a peculiar small flag in each hand, waving them continuously, chanting incantations. As the flags in his hands waved, the incense across the Yan Kingdom suddenly brightened, generating waves of willpower, rising and drifting towards the Yan Capital City, converging towards the altar before the Yan King.

The vast willpower from all directions surged into the altar like a ferocious storm. Then condensing it into a unique gray light, it soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
