#192 - The strategy of winning hearts and minds is under your control

This Qilin Ambush Formation was a special formation set up by Jade Rakshasa, integrating encirclement, concealment, and killing into one, and could be considered a domain.

The reason it was called the Qilin Ambush Formation was because the formation's core was taken from the innate abilities of two Tiger-Qilin beasts. Before setting up this formation, the black-robed clone specifically brought Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang over, almost emptying their reserves. It was estimated that it would take a long time to recover.

Of course, the black-robed clone didn't treat them unfairly, rewarding each with a Rank 6 spiritual medicine. The two guys immediately turned their grief into joy, and asked if it was okay to do it again.

The innate abilities of the two Tiger-Qilin beasts were terrifying. Just the effect of isolating divine sense exploration was enough to turn the opposing army into blind men.

This was like the fog of war in Qin Changqing's previous life's games. The enemy's eyes were dark, but his side had a full map view. How could this battle be fought?

Not only that, Jade Rakshasa also used several Rank 5 and 6 magical treasures as the foundation of the formation. Under the manipulation of several Void Fusion Realm Venerables, they could manipulate the magical treasures to attack anywhere in the formation, making it impossible to defend against.

As soon as the white mist appeared, the imperial coalition forces immediately fell into panic. They were shocked to find that their vision had been reduced to a very low level. Even the Transformation God stage could only see a few dozen meters, and even divine sense could not explore further.

The Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages were even worse. Some couldn't even see their teammates around them, and couldn't help but let out terrified roars.

"Damn it, we've been tricked!"

Liao Zhang's face was ugly. The spiritual power around him surged, and he continuously slapped out giant spiritual power palms, trying to disperse the white mist, but under the blessing of the formation, the white mist quickly condensed as soon as it was dispersed, and it was useless at all.

Yang Yuxin also showed a look of anger and shock, constantly looking around, and shouted angrily: "Ji Linglong, you are also a Half-Step Body Integration, and you actually use such despicable means. This deity looks down on you!"

Ji Linglong, floating in mid-air, had a cold gaze and a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Yang Yuxin had always regarded her as an opponent, the goal of her life's pursuit, but Ji Linglong had never taken her seriously from beginning to end.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, several streams of light burst out from the white mist, heavily bombarding the two dragon carriages.

The two Flood Dragon demon beasts let out painful roars, and the dragon carriages they were dragging were instantly blasted to pieces. At the same time, two figures shot out from them, namely Emperor Kong Yuande of the Golden Crow Dynasty and Emperor Yuan Zong of the Yanyue Dynasty.

"What kind of formation is this?!"

The faces of both of them were also ugly. With their strength, they could only spread their divine sense less than a thousand meters. For monks, this distance was useless at all.

"The alliance leader has ordered, kill those who resist stubbornly! Kill those who are stubborn!"

"Listen up, you people on the opposite side, you are already at the end of your rope. Put down your magical treasures and surrender, and we can spare your lives!"

"Leave no one from the royal family alive!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

In the white mist, although they couldn't see, the imperial coalition forces could still hear the stern shouts from all directions, and they were already nervous, and their hearts were in chaos.

"Petty tricks, you dare to show off!"

Liao Zhang and other Void Fusion Venerables shouted sternly: "Don't panic, everyone. Our strength is not weaker than theirs. As long as we stabilize and wait for us to kill all their Void Fusion Venerables, we will win this battle!"

They needed to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise the army would collapse, and there would be no suspense in this battle.

The Golden Crow Dynasty's guards firmly protected the royal family inside, nervously looking around, surrounded by magical treasures, trying desperately to break through the mist with their divine sense.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, streaks of crimson flames shot out from the mist, instantly enveloping more than a dozen monks in the front.

The power of this spiritual fire was truly amazing, and it even burned and curled the spiritual armor on their bodies. The protective spiritual power was instantly extinguished, and these monks immediately turned into a dozen fireballs, twisting and screaming frantically.

A knowledgeable member of the royal family exclaimed in horror: "This is a Rank 6 spiritual fire. Even Transformation God stage monks can't resist it. We can't resist it at all!"

The source of this spiritual fire came from Jade Rakshasa's bronze ancient lamp. Also serving as the foundation of the Qilin Subduing Demon Formation, the power of the spiritual fire released by the Void Fusion Realm Venerable's natal magic weapon was naturally terrifying.

One of the young men suddenly flipped his right hand and took out a spiritual bead flashing with azure treasure light. Under the spell, a torrential stream of water suddenly spewed out from the spiritual bead, directly blocking the surrounding spiritual fire. Although it couldn't extinguish it, it blocked the erosion of the spiritual fire.

"Azure Sea Treasure Bead!" Everyone was overjoyed and saw the hope of life: "I didn't expect His Majesty to give this treasure to His Highness. We are saved now!"

The Crown Prince said indifferently: "With this treasure, we only need to survive the present situation. When Father kills all the Void Fusion Venerables of the Evergreen Alliance, the crisis will be resolved!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Your Highness is brave!"

Everyone praised him without hesitation.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a faint voice sounded from around: "Those who kill members of the royal family will be rewarded with Rank 4 spiritual medicine. Those who kill direct descendants of Kong Yuande and Yuan Zong will be rewarded with Rank 5 spiritual medicine, regardless of camp!"

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions became strange.

The Crown Prince's face suddenly turned ugly. He flipped the Azure Sea Treasure Bead in his hand, and all the water suddenly retracted, only wrapping himself up.

This was precisely the Evergreen Alliance's strategy to attack the heart.

The meaning of regardless of camp was that as long as you killed a member of the royal family, whether you were from the Evergreen Alliance or the imperial coalition forces, you would be rewarded.

The temptation of a precious spiritual medicine to monks is needless to say.

A monk who has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years may be able to break through and be reborn because of a spiritual medicine, gaining a lot of lifespan and higher cultivation. No one would not be tempted.

The Evergreen Alliance's plan was to take down the imperial coalition forces at the lowest cost, not only reducing casualties on its side, but also disrupting the morale of the other side, killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as this was said, the monks on the Evergreen Alliance's side became even more crazy. For them, the rewards were secondary. If they could gain the favor of the alliance leader in the war, it would be the supreme glory for them.

The eyes of those coalition monks around the royal family also changed a little.

Apart from the loyal confidants of the imperial dynasty, the loyalty of others to the imperial dynasty may not be so high. However, the cost of attacking the royal family was too great. If the imperial dynasty won, no one could bear the emperor's anger, so no one dared to do it for a long time.

"Ji Linglong, get out here!"

"Alliance Leader of the Evergreen Alliance, are you only capable of using such despicable means? Do you dare to come out and fight me!"

Kong Yuande and Yuan Zong naturally heard these words, and their hearts sank. They understood that they had to make a quick decision, otherwise, with the people's hearts fluctuating, someone might defect.
