#2030 - The Gods Come

The Yushan City army launched a full-scale attack, leaving the city to relentlessly pursue the Langya army.

The soldiers were incredibly excited.

No one had anticipated that this seemingly arduous war would result in such a swift and decisive victory.

Minister Yue was too powerful, divinely gifted, practically an invincible existence.

So many half-step Celestial Gods were as vulnerable as clay chickens and earthenware dogs before him, as he swiftly killed dozens of them on the battlefield.

The garrisons of each fortress received their orders and rushed out of the city walls.

The Langya army, on their offensive routes, also received orders for a full retreat.

Although they didn't know why they were retreating, nor were they aware that their half-step Celestial Gods had been annihilated and the emperor's main force had collapsed.

However, a sudden retreat at the height of their morale undoubtedly meant a major event had occurred.

Their minds were unstable, and seeing the Yushan garrison charging out with soaring momentum threw them into disarray.

"Brothers, the Langya half-step Celestial Gods have all been killed, and the Langya Emperor is in retreat! Follow me to annihilate the Langya army!"

The generals at each defensive point of the fortresses shouted the same words, leading their soldiers in a frenzied assault on the retreating Langya army.

These words caused a tremendous psychological shock to the Langya army.

Although they were unwilling to believe it, they had no choice but to accept it.

If nothing major had happened, why would they suddenly retreat across the board?

This caused the Langya army's fighting spirit to collapse, completely losing their morale.

Under the pursuit of the garrison, they were routed, with a large number of Langya soldiers dropping their weapons and kneeling to surrender.

On Jun Wuxie's side, he relied on his speed to quickly catch up with the Langya Emperor.

By the time the Langya Emperor saw him and prepared to use the Divine Boat to escape, it was already too late.

The Langya Emperor was a veteran half-step Celestial God.

However, he was completely powerless before Jun Wuxie.

The Langya Emperor's guards attempted to resist, but were sent flying with shattered bones by a sleeve, unable to rise.

Jun Wuxie did not kill the Langya Emperor on the spot, but instead subdued him, guarding the only pass where they could retreat back to the border city.

With the emperor captured, the Langya army collapsed even further, abandoning their weapons and stripping off their armor.

The Langya Emperor stared at Jun Wuxie in horror and anger.

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

He should have used the Divine Boat to escape directly.

However, he had considered that as the emperor leading the personal expedition, he should retreat with the army.

This would stabilize the army's morale to some extent, and possibly allow more of the army to retreat successfully back to the border city.

As a result, he fell into the hands of the enemy.

He knew he was finished.

To be captured like this as the ruler of an imperial dynasty was simply a great humiliation.

Even if the other party released him, he would not have the face to continue sitting on the throne when he returned to the dynasty.

This pursuit lasted for more than ten days.

The various units of the Langya army collapsed, fleeing to different places, some trying to hide in the mountains.

But they were all found by the Yushan garrison.

Because the Langya army's morale had collapsed, there was little resistance.

Therefore, casualties were light, and the vast majority of the Langya army became prisoners.

For these days, small batches of well-equipped garrison soldiers continuously escorted the Langya soldiers, who had removed their armor and laid down their weapons, back to Yushan City in numbers ten to twenty times their own.

This war was watched by the world.

Before the war even began, people from all over the world had arrived near the border between the two countries.

They naturally saw these scenes and were deeply shocked.

Who exactly was that Minister Yue of the Lanling Dynasty?

His power exceeded imagination!

So many half-step Celestial Gods were utterly powerless before him.

Could he be a Celestial God realm expert?

"It's impossible to be a Celestial God realm expert. How could the Celestial God experts of the Lanling Royal Family not be able to tell?

Celestial Gods have a special divine law aura. Even if they can usually hide it, they absolutely cannot hide it during battle.

Besides, if he were a Celestial God, how would he dare to go directly to the battlefield? He would surely be jointly punished by all the Celestial Gods in the world.

Minister Yue is such a shrewd person, how could he do such a thing?

I think his talent must be beyond imagination, and his Divine Forbidden Domain must be frighteningly high!

That's why he can crush half-step Celestial Gods!"

In the area bordering the two great dynasties, on a mountain peak in a certain mountain range, someone was talking.

Their gazes penetrated a great distance, paying attention to the situation of the Yushan City garrison and the Langya army.

This battle gave them unparalleled shock.

The Langya army of 120 million pressed the border, the Langya Emperor led the personal expedition, their morale was extremely high, and there were dozens of half-step Celestial Gods.

As a result, they were so easily defeated by the isolated Yushan City garrison.

The Langya Emperor was captured, and the Langya army surrendered one after another, with nearly 100 million Langya soldiers becoming prisoners.

Such a thing was unheard of in the war history of the major dynasties, it was definitely a miracle in war history!

As time passed, the shocking news quickly spread throughout the entire world.

The people of the five states were in an uproar, discussing it one after another.

The most discussed was the Minister Yue of the Lanling Dynasty.

What kind of divinely gifted war god was he, sweeping away all half-step Celestial Gods?

Such an existence was already completely invincible below the Celestial God realm!

Speaking of which, with his talent, entering the Celestial God realm was almost without doubt, a certainty.

However, this might also be very difficult, depending on whether there were corresponding resources.

This kind of person, who is also a body cultivator, requires far more resources than those who cultivate true qi.

The citizens of the Lanling Dynasty were extremely excited to hear that the Emperor and Minister Yue had achieved successive great victories on the border, achieving the strongest record in war history.

The most uncomfortable were the Langya Dynasty and the Lanling Royal Family.

Since receiving the news from the border, the Lanling King's initial reaction was disbelief. After several confirmations, he vomited three liters of blood on the spot and fainted.

This time, almost all of the elders of their Xiao family were wiped out!

Now, only three elders remain in the Elder Council!

The Xiao family's power had suffered a heavy blow.

It would take an unknown number of long years to restore the number of half-step Celestial God experts.

These days, he couldn't eat, couldn't drink, and suffered from insomnia at night, his hair turning gray a lot.

He had repeatedly gone to the forbidden area to seek an audience with the Celestial God ancestors, but had not received a response.

Today, he came again.

The ancestors finally reacted.

After entering, the Lanling King, with bloodshot eyes, recounted the events on the border with grief and indignation.

The entire five Celestial God experts in the forbidden area trembled and were infuriated after hearing what he said.

During this time, they had been in seclusion, comprehending and entering a deep state of cultivation, and had only woken up today.

They never expected that such a thing would happen!

"Ancestors, now our Xiao family's half-step Celestial God experts have been almost wiped out.

The Emperor's power on the border is growing stronger day by day.

That Yue fellow doesn't know what means he used to make the Yushan County garrison's combat power soar.

If this continues, not to mention our Xiao clan controlling the Lanling imperial power, I'm afraid even the family won't be safe in the future!

That Yue fellow's talent is too terrifying, and his combat power is amazing.

Once he finds an opportunity to break through to the Celestial God realm in the future.

At that time, who else in this world will be able to restrain him?"

"Xiao Zhong, what you said makes a lot of sense, it is indeed something we need to consider.

However, do you want us Celestial God experts to take action personally?"

The Xiao family's ancestors were very calm.

"Ancestors, now there is no other choice.

Our Xiao family has no other way to go.

If we don't kill that Yue fellow on the road to growth as soon as possible, it will inevitably bring unimaginable disasters to our Xiao family in the future!"

The Xiao family's few ancestors were silent for a moment.

The youngest-looking ancestor, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, hmm'd and said, "Xiao Zhong, don't be anxious.

As the head of the Xiao family, the more you are at this time, the more you need to be calm and composed.

According to the analysis of the situation, that Yue fellow captured the Langya Emperor alive, and now it's not our turn to take action.

With his character, I'm afraid he won't let go of the Langya Emperor.

Will the Langya imperial family let it go?

Will the Wang family let it go?

Don't worry, wait a little longer.

That Yue fellow can't possibly break through to the Celestial God realm in these few days.

If this old ancestor is not mistaken, the Langya imperial family's Celestial God will definitely come forward and personally go to Yushan City to demand the person.

With things developing to such a point, not only we and the Langya Dynasty's Celestial Gods are afraid of that Yue fellow, but the Celestial Gods of other states will also be afraid.

If the Langya Dynasty's Celestial Gods disregard everything and attack that Yue fellow, the Celestial Gods of other forces may not have any objections, and may only pretend to say a few words.

So, let's wait and see what happens.

If we don't have to come forward and the Langya Dynasty's Celestial Gods solve the hidden danger, that would be the best."

Xiao Zhong heard this, was slightly silent, and then said, "Ancestors, will the Langya Dynasty's Celestial Gods really take action?"

He was not a Celestial God expert, and although he understood the restraints between Celestial Gods, he was far less knowledgeable than the Celestial God experts themselves.

Therefore, he did not know whether the Langya Celestial God would take action.

"Whether they take action or not, this old ancestor cannot be sure, but the Langya Dynasty's Celestial God will definitely go to the border Yushan City to demand the person.

As for what direction things will develop in when the Langya Celestial God arrives at Yushan City, it's hard to say.

In short, let's wait and see what happens for now.

If they really don't take action, then one of us will quietly go to Yushan City and personally solve that Jun fellow.

Alright, you retreat, pay attention to the situation in the border Yushan City at all times, and tell this old ancestor and others in time."

"Yes."

Xiao Zhong left.

He always felt that the ancestors were too cautious.

If they had taken action against that Yue fellow before, they might have been criticized by other Celestial Gods, making the family passive.

But it was different now.

The strength that Yue fellow had shown was enough to make other Celestial Gods afraid.

In this situation, if the ancestors took action to kill that Yue fellow, those Celestial Gods should not make things too difficult for the Xiao family.

After all, they were dealing with internal matters of the dynasty and not killing people from other dynasties.

… …

Several days later, at the border city of Jade Mountain.

A figure appeared outside the city.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, possessing the majesty of a superior and a powerful aura.

He came from beyond the city, appearing at the horizon.

When he reached a distance of ten thousand meters from the city, he actually rose into the air as he moved.

This sight caused the faces of the soldiers on the city wall to change drastically. The commanding officers were even more solemn, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

“Quick! Quickly report to the master that a Celestial God Realm expert from the Langya Dynasty has arrived!”

The general hurriedly said to his subordinates.

His gaze was fixed on the old man.

His footsteps treaded on the void, walking step by step.

Every thousand meters or so in the air, he would land on the ground, borrow some strength, and then step into the air again.

Below the Celestial God Realm, one can only achieve extremely brief levitation, and it is impossible to cross such a long distance in the void.

Undoubtedly, the old man was a genuine Celestial God!

Celestial God Realm existences almost never appear in the world.

Many people live for thousands of years without ever seeing the shadow of a Celestial God expert.

Unexpectedly, a Celestial God personally arrived at Jade Mountain City today.

It seems that he is definitely not here with good intentions.

Celestial Gods do not appear for no reason.

Since he came from the direction of the Langya border, he must be a Celestial God from Langya Prefecture, and most likely a Celestial God Realm expert from the Langya royal family.

In that case, his purpose is self-evident!

Soon, the Celestial God Realm expert from the Langya royal family arrived at the city gate.

He glanced at the city gate, soared into the sky, directly crossed the city wall, and entered the city.

“Esteemed Celestial God, this is an important border town of my Lanling Dynasty. Without the permission of our master and the Emperor, you must not trespass!”

Although facing a Celestial God Realm expert, the commanding officers and soldiers trembled with fear, they still stepped forward to stop him.

“Who can stop me from going wherever I want? Overestimating yourselves.”

A cold voice came from the old man's mouth.

Immediately, a wisp of faint true energy溢出 from his body.

The commanding officers and soldiers blocking his path were sent flying with a bang. Their armor shattered, blood sprayed wildly, their internal organs ruptured, their bones broke, and they could hardly get up.

“Celestial God, you are going too far!”

The general who was blasted into vomiting blood struggled to get up, but couldn't manage to do so.

“A group of ants. If it weren’t for the Celestial God Agreement, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago.”

The old man glanced at them with emotionless eyes and strode forward.

“Without permission, you must not trespass!”

Several generals led a large number of soldiers to block his path.

“Courting death.”

The old man said indifferently, about to make a move.

“A dignified Celestial God, running to my Jade Mountain City to bully soldiers. Does that make you feel proud?”

A dragon-like roar came from the City Lord's Mansion, echoing in the sky above the city.

The old man, who was about to attack, slightly raised his head and looked over, his gaze piercing through the sky, locking onto the City Lord's Mansion.

“Are you the Minister Yue of the Lanling Dynasty?”

The old man said from afar.

“That’s right, it is this official. All of you, step back, do not stop him, let him in.”

Upon hearing this, the soldiers silently retreated, their hearts filled with anger.

Despite their inner fear, they still felt a surge of anger at the Celestial God's forceful intrusion into the city.
