Close combat!
The vanguard army of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, composed of the Supreme Dao Fruit and the Chaos Dao Fruit, was the first to arrive at Yong'an City.
Figures like gods from heaven stood outside the Yong'an City magic circle, and pairs of cold and ruthless faces looked down at all the warriors in the city.
In this situation of absolute oppression of the lower-ranking by the higher-ranking, many mentally weak warriors in the Chunyang Sect's camp immediately lost their faith.
On the distant horizon, numerous figures like ants quickly appeared, warships blocked out the sun in the sky, and warriors riding on monster beasts roared to the heavens and the earth.
After seeing this scene, the Grand Elder and many elders of Chunyang Sect couldn't help but show some surprise and horror.
"Keep your formation steady and don't panic!"
The Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect was well aware that facing such a ferocious army, the warriors in the Chunyang Sect camp would easily lose their faith in Taoism, so he immediately sent warriors to calm people's hearts.
On the cloud boat following the Demon Palace army, Lin Bai and Li Guxian stood side by side on the bow, looking at the army that covered the sky and the sun.
At this moment, Lin Bai realized what a scene of "over ten thousand people, like mountains and seas" meant.
The well-equipped and armored army of the Nine Nether Demon Palace advanced forward in neat rows. Even Lin Bai had to gasp when he saw such momentum.
The Demon Palace army gradually moved forward and finally reached the outside of Yong'an City's defense formation.
The Yunzhou, which was protected by Tuan Tuan, slowly appeared in front of everyone.
A path was cleared within the army of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and the cloud boat where Lin Bai and Li Guxian were located slowly moved forward and arrived in front of the defense formation of Yong'an City.
Inside the defensive formation, the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect and a group of elders flew into the air and stood opposite Lin Bai and Li Guxian across the formation.
"Meet Emperor Lin Bai."
"Meet the goddess Li Guxian."
The Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect treated him with courtesy and bowed.
But Li Guxian did not show any good looks to the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect, and said coldly:
"One hundred thousand years ago, the Nine Nether Demon Palace was destroyed, and you, the founder of the Chunyang Sect, received a secret order from the Demon Palace to establish the Chunyang Sect."
"Ninety thousand years ago, the Pure Yang Sect secretly received assistance from the Nine Nether Demon Palace and rose to prominence within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"Seventy thousand years ago, the Nine Nether Demon Palace secretly supported the Pure Yang Sect to become one of the top forces of the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"
"Today, the Chunyang Sect is what it is today, and all of its mountain gates, treasures, resources, magic tools, elixirs, precious medicines, etc., all of which came from my Jiuyou Demon Palace!"
"The Demon Palace is extremely devoted to your Chunyang Sect, why would the Chunyang Sect betray my Demon Palace!"
“…”
Li Guxian had a stern face and righteously reviewed the evidence of Chunyang Sect's crimes. He also carefully listed the benefits that Jiuyou Demon Palace had provided to Chunyang Sect over the past 100,000 years.
"Even the magic array you are using now to fight against the Nine Nether Demon Palace was given to the Chunyang Sect by the Demon Palace back then."
"Don't you understand gratitude at all?"
Li Guxian's voice was not weak. She spoke loudly and directly. Her voice passed through the magic circle and echoed in Yong'an City. It was heard by all the warriors.
The Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect looked extremely grim upon hearing this, and suddenly swallowed back the words he had already prepared.
Especially Li Guxian's words caused a huge wave in Yong'an City. Many warriors could not believe that Chunyang Sect and Jiuyou Demon Palace had such a deep connection in secret.
Many warriors began to waver in their positions and beliefs.
The morale of the army was broken, seemingly in a matter of moments.
The Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect heard more and more questioning and resistance voices in Yong'an City and knew that something was wrong.
"snort."
The Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect quickly straightened his posture, pointed at Li Guxian and retorted:
"The Nine Nether Demon Palace committed a heinous crime 100,000 years ago. Any warrior in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm has the right to kill it!"
"Why does Goddess Li Guxian come here to stir up trouble?"
"Do you really think that your few nonsense words can shake the hearts of hundreds of millions of warriors in my Chunyang Sect?"
Hearing the argument between Li Guxian and the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh.
The prejudice in people's minds is indeed a huge mountain.
What the Nine Nether Demon Palace did a hundred thousand years ago was merely called a "heinous crime" by the warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
But a hundred thousand years have passed, and this matter can still be dug up and can still be used as the sharpest sword against the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
When a person's thoughts and ideas have been fixed, trying to overturn these ideas may be more difficult and troublesome than killing someone.
Goddess Li Guxian sneered contemptuously:
"You only mentioned the heinous crimes committed by the Nine Nether Demon Palace a hundred thousand years ago, but you didn't mention a word about the support the Demon Palace has given to your Pure Yang Sect over the past hundred thousand years?"
"Don't forget that the Chunyang Sect is a branch of the Jiuyou Demon Palace. No matter when, the Chunyang Sect is a part of the Jiuyou Demon Palace!"
“If the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm wants to settle accounts with the Nine Nether Demon Palace for its “heinous sins”, then your Chunyang Sect will not be able to escape death!”
The Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect shouted righteously:
"Goddess Li Guxian, there is no point in saying more."
"If you have the ability, break the magic circle of my Yong'an City, and we will have a real battle with real swords!"
He knew very well that if he continued to argue with Li Guxian, he would suffer losses.
Li Guxian's tricks will inevitably lead him into the ditch.
With just these few simple words, the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect had already suffered several serious losses in succession.
Li Guxian's first words confirmed that Chunyang Sect had been cultivated and favored by Jiuyou Demon Palace many times in the past one hundred thousand years.
In the second sentence, Li Guxian confirmed that Chunyang Sect is a branch of Jiuyou Demon Palace and will always be a part of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
After the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect reacted, he hurriedly changed his strategy. Since they had to fight with the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace anyway, there was no need to say more and just let Jiuyou Demon Palace attack.
If Li Guxian were allowed to continue speaking, she would be able to shatter the Dao hearts of the Chunyang Sect warriors with just her mouth, which would be even more detrimental to the upcoming battle!
"I don't need to waste time talking to Li Guxian. I just need to proceed according to the plan."
“Although Yong’an City has many warriors, most of them are small and medium-sized families loyal to the Chunyang Sect.”
“Although there are several high-ranking elders from the Chunyang Sect here, once the war begins, we will take the initiative to quietly evacuate this place and let the warriors from small and medium-sized families face the Jiuyou Demon Palace.”
"First, we use the warriors from small and medium-sized families to consume the combat power of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Secondly, if the warriors from small and medium-sized families win, that would be the best. If they cannot win, it would also tire out the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"And the place where we will actually have a decisive battle with the Nine Nether Demon Palace is at the sixth line of defense."
"On the sixth line of defense, they are all the elites of the Chunyang Sect!"
After the Grand Elder of Chunyang Sect briefly reviewed the plan of Chunyang Sect, he became more determined in his Taoism.
Seeing that the Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect was no longer willing to argue with Li Guxian, he turned back to the city. Li Guxian then looked at Lin Bai:
"Emperor, shall we begin the siege?"
"Just arrange it."
From beginning to end, Lin Bai didn't say a few words, and stood silently by the side to support Li Guxian.
Li Guxian is the supreme commander on the front line. If Lin Bai relies on his status as the emperor's son to interrupt many times, it will inevitably affect Li Guxian's image as a warrior in the Nine Nether Demon Palace army, which will be detrimental to her command of the Nine Nether Demon Palace army.
Under such circumstances, it was not a good time for infighting among the top leaders of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, so Lin Bai also deliberately restrained himself.
After obtaining Lin Bai's permission, Li Guxian immediately summoned the commanders of each camp of the Demon Palace army and asked them to come to the cloud boat to discuss the next siege.
The fifth line of defense of Yong'an City is not as simple as the previous four lines of defense.
After breaking through the magic formation, the first few lines of defense can be easily resolved by simply suppressing them with warriors at the Supreme Dao Fruit and Chaos Dao Fruit realms.
The fifth line of defense, Yong'an City, gathered millions and tens of millions of warriors from the Chunyang Sect's capital.
Once the formation is broken, the warriors from Yong'an City will certainly attack in groups and fight with the warriors from Jiuyou Demon Palace.
By then, it would be difficult to suppress millions of warriors with the help of the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm warriors and the Chaos Dao Fruit Realm warriors.
At that time, the Demon Palace army will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.
Therefore, Li Guxian had to arrange the details for what would happen after the magic circle was broken in advance.
In fact, Li Guxian already had a plan in mind, and now he called the commanders of each camp to arrange the details.
Lin Bai stood by and watched silently, listening carefully to Li Guxian's deployment of troops and arranging the affairs of each camp properly.
Even he couldn't help but sigh that Li Guxian indeed possessed an extraordinary talent in deploying troops.
"Do you understand everything?"
"clear!"
"Okay, everyone go get ready. Senior Brother Di Zi will break the formation in half an hour."
"After the formation is broken, it will be a good time for you to make achievements."
After Li Guxian had made all the arrangements, he asked the commanders of each camp to go down and prepare.
After the commanders of each camp returned to their camps, they immediately made arrangements. Lin Bai saw that the army of the Demon Palace, which covered the sky and the sun, began to move in a regular pattern and quickly formed offensive and defensive camps.
Lin Bai and Li Guxian waited patiently for about half an hour. Li Guxian calculated the time, and when half an hour was up, he nodded to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai didn't say much, just nodded in response, indicating that she could start.
Immediately.
Li Guxian took out the crystal ball filled with devouring power from her arms again and crushed it in front of the warriors from Jiuyou Demon Palace and Chunyang Sect.
Warriors from both the Jiuyou Demon Palace and the Chunyang Sect all knew that it was the crystal ball in Li Guxian's hand that caused the first few lines of defense to be easily broken like paper.
"Brother Di Zi, can you make the corrosion gap faster, enough to allow tens of thousands of people to charge at the same time?"
Lin Bai immediately understood what Li Guxian meant, nodded silently and said:
"no problem."
"You start!"
The gap is too small and there are too few warriors who can pass through it, so it is difficult to create a charge effect.
Moreover, the gap is too small. The warrior who first passes through the magic circle will be sniped and killed by the warriors of Chunyang Sect.
But once the gap is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people charging through at the same time, the army of the Nine Nether Demon Palace will definitely be able to fight their way out.
After Li Guxian and Lin Bai had communicated properly, she gently crushed the crystal ball. Under Lin Bai's deliberate control, the devouring power that flew out of the crystal ball quickly enveloped the "invisible wall".
Lin Bai's eyes suddenly focused, and the devouring force quickly spread on the "invisible wall" and quickly spread to the surroundings.
As the warriors from both the Jiuyou Demon Palace and the Chunyang Sect waited anxiously, the black devouring power was corroding a huge gap, and this gap was constantly getting bigger.
"Prepare!"
Li Guxian was standing next to Lin Bai and saw that a gap had appeared, but it was not big enough.
She slowly raised her hand, signaling the warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace to begin preparing.
The vanguard of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, the "Heavenly Yu Army", was once an improvement of the Eighteen Guards of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the "Imperial Sky Army" were wearing armor and riding ferocious and roaring monsters.
All of the warriors have the cultivation level of Dao God, and the monsters under them also have the cultivation level of Dao God.
The monsters and warriors are connected to each other with formation spells, and other formations are used to connect the entire army together!
Li Guxian's eyes were fixed on the gap in the magic circle that kept expanding, until the area of the gap was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people rushing through.
Seeing this, Lin Bai nodded to Li Guxian, who immediately understood and suddenly lowered her raised hand:
"attack!!"
She let out a low cry.
“Kill!!!!”
"kill!"
The warriors of the Yutian Army immediately urged the monsters under them to rush into the gap, passed through the magic circle, and headed straight for Yong'an City.
“Here they come!”
“Here they come!”
The entire Yong'an City was suddenly in chaos, with countless warriors attacking randomly and all kinds of magical powers blasting into the sky.
The Grand Elder of the Chunyang Sect shouted hurriedly, "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, kill with calligraphy!"
The warriors in Yong'an City quickly calmed down, stood in their respective positions, and began to condense their magical powers in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, flames, wind blades, ice, sword energy, knife energy and other magical powers blasted towards the sky.
However, there were too many "Sky-Imperial Army" rushing into the gap, and ferocious monsters swooped down from the sky, opened their bloody mouths and swallowed up a group of warriors.
There are more than one warriors riding on the backs of the monsters. There are at least ten warriors on the back of each monster.
At this moment, more than a dozen warriors on the back of the monster rushed out and rushed out of the battlefield.
Hundreds of thousands of Yutian Army warriors passed through the magic circle in just a few breaths, and millions of warriors rushed into the battlefield.
Lin Bai, who was standing on the cloud boat, couldn't help but shrink his pupils as he looked towards Yong'an City. It was simply a scene of hell on earth.
In just a few seconds of hand-to-hand combat, the city of Yong'an was already a river of blood and piles of corpses.
Li Guxian seemed to be accustomed to all this, and arranged the legions to enter the battlefield one by one in an orderly manner.
As the warriors of the "Yutian Army" charged into the battlefield, the savage monsters disrupted the formation of the warriors of Yong'an City. The warriors of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, who had changed their name from "Jiuyou Guards" to "Jiuyou Army", followed suit and began to slaughter those warriors who were left alone, fleeing in panic, and had no one to command them.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to have turned into a huge meat grinder. Blood dyed the sky and earth red, and body fragments flew everywhere, making Lin Bai's face slightly pale.
Lin Bai had fought countless battles in his life, but this kind of battle involving millions of warriors was the first time he had ever witnessed it with his own eyes! !
