Chapter 3833 Zhenyuan Army Master
Inside a celestial abode, numerous cultivators gathered.
"My lord, are we really going to attack the Abyss Immortal City?"
The speaker was a middle-aged cultivator with a thin face, wearing a blue Taoist robe. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of worry, and there was a hint of hesitation and unease between his brows.
Wenren Chen glanced at the other party and sneered: "Don't forget, our lives are now in that person's hands. If we don't make a move, we will die in an instant."
Now that we have already betrayed the Immortal Qin Dynasty, there is nothing to hesitate about.
This battle is also our chance to prove our worth. If we can destroy the Extreme Abyss Immortal City, we will surely gain the attention of the Seven Profound Dao Sect!
At this point, there's no other way but to go down this path to the bitter end.
Two-faced.
There's no benefit to it at all!
of course.
The main reason is that their lives are now in the hands of the other party, and if they were to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, he has already surrendered to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and this has happened in full view of everyone. Even if he were to betray the Seven Profound Dao Sect at this time and say that he was just pretending, I'm afraid the Immortal Qin Dynasty would not believe him.
and so.
Rather than doing something thankless and exhausting, it's better to be straightforward.
If he could destroy the Extreme Abyss Immortal City, he could then take control of another immortal city, and gain the favor of the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Perhaps he would also have other opportunities in the future.
The other cultivators nodded in agreement.
At this point, there's really no room for hesitation.
"What you say is true, sir, but how to deal with the Abyss Immortal City is something worth discussing now, since the Abyss Immortal City's defenses are not weak."
Furthermore, it's their home ground; if we were to force our way in, it wouldn't be easy—"
The middle-aged scholar spoke slowly, a glint of shrewdness appearing in his eyes.
Wenren Chen glanced at the other person, his expression shifting slightly: "What are your thoughts, sir?"
"This is simple..."
……
As dawn broke, a misty fog shrouded the walls of Flying Cloud Immortal City.
The army set off.
This time.
They split into three groups.
Wenren Chen was in charge of Jiyuan Immortal City, Yang Daoxu and others were in charge of Jinshui Immortal City, and Shen Changqing led the army, their forces heading straight for Zhenyuan Pass.
While the army was setting off, Shen Changqing also instructed Gu Chen to strictly seal off Feiyun Immortal City to limit the leakage of information to the greatest extent possible.
but.
Even so.
Even as the army set off, the people of Zhenyuan Pass were still informed of the news.
"Flying Cloud Immortal City has fallen... Wenren Chen led his people to surrender. Such a traitorous minister truly deserves to die!"
Inside Zhenyuan Pass, Han Chongshan's face was contorted with rage.
He was a burly man whose voice boomed like thunder in the tent. The moment his words fell, a powerful aura erupted from him, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami sweeping across the land, suppressing everything.
The other cultivators felt this pressure and their expressions changed slightly.
A celestial general stepped forward, clasped in black armor, his face resolute: "Reporting to the Commander, that force is now heading straight for Zhenyuan Pass. How should we respond?"
"Defend!"
Han Chongshan remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a single word.
Zhenyuan Pass must not be lost!
Before figuring out the other party's background and origins, Han Chongshan had only one word: guard.
Maintaining the status quo!
Before truly understanding the enemy's strength, one should naturally be cautious.
At least.
Zhenyuan Pass must not be lost.
Throughout the entire process, Han Chongshan never forgot his duty: to guard Zhenyuan Pass.
Whether in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm or the Ancient Immortal Realm, Zhenyuan Pass is extremely important. It is a key fortress on the northern frontier of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. Once it falls, war will inevitably sweep across the entire northern frontier.
in contrast.
As long as we can hold Zhenyuan Pass, all other problems are minor.
Even if immortal cities like Flying Cloud Immortal City fall, it won't be a big deal.
The gains and losses of a few immortal cities are not enough to shake the foundation of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
in contrast.
If Zhenyuan Pass had fallen, things would have been different.
Even though Wenren Chen has surrendered, that force still dares to directly attack Zhenyuan Pass, which means that the other side believes it has enough confidence.
As the city lord of Feiyun Immortal City, Wenren Chen could not possibly be completely unaware of the situation at Zhenyuan Pass.
At least.
The other party was absolutely aware of his existence as a demigod.
Even so, that force still wanted to take action against Zhenyuan Pass.
This alone reveals a great deal.
"By my order, Zhenyuan Pass is under full martial law. All array formations and restrictions are activated. No one is allowed to leave the pass without my order. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without exception!"
With Han Chongshan's order, the entire Zhenyuan Pass went into a state of combat readiness.
The war drums are beating!
All kinds of formations and restrictions were activated.
Such a large-scale action naturally made the atmosphere in Zhenyuan Pass heavy.
As a fortress in the northern frontier, Zhenyuan Pass contains no ordinary cultivators, only a large army of soldiers.
At this moment, the army is on martial law, and the chilling atmosphere is enough to change the very color of heaven and earth.
……
"This is Zhenyuan Pass; it truly is extraordinary!"
As the celestial ship soared through the sky, Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ancient celestial city in front of him that seemed to stretch across the heavens and earth, with no end in sight. His calm face seemed to have become more solemn.
The city walls were built of some kind of jet-black stone, towering into the clouds, at least tens of thousands of feet high.
The surface of the city wall is covered with the marks of time, mottled and weathered, yet it exudes an unchanging majesty.
Among the many immortal cities he had seen, this magnificent city was undoubtedly among the best.
Before this, Shen Changqing had already imagined the magnificence of Zhenyuan Pass, but when he actually saw it, he realized that he had underestimated this fortress.
"What a magnificent Zhenyuan Pass! With such a fortified city here, it's no wonder it's the lifeline of the northern frontier!"
Looking at the ancient immortal city before him, Qingxu couldn't help but gasp.
For him, this immortal city was the most magnificent immortal city he had ever seen, bar none.
The Nanming Immortal City, once under the control of the Xuantian Dao Sect, was now before them like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
Let alone one Nanming Immortal City, even a hundred Nanming Immortal Cities would be hard to compare with Zhenyuan Pass in front of us.
now.
The array and restrictions of Zhenyuan Pass were fully activated, and even the void in the sky was engraved with various Dao patterns, exuding an aura that made people's hearts tremble.
More importantly, there is the location of Zhenyuan Pass.
This fortress is located between two forbidden zones of life.
Both sides of it are forbidden zones for life.
Even with Shen Changqing's current level of understanding, it is difficult for him to truly see the reality of those forbidden zones of life.
But there is one thing.
Shen Changqing could make that judgment.
Within these two forbidden zones, there is absolutely a danger that could cause a demigod to perish.
He sensed a threat within these two forbidden zones, a threat that was both real and imperceptible.
Although the threat was not obvious, Shen Changqing sensed a deadly crisis through his intuition.
He never doubted this kind of premonition.
Given his current cultivation level, the fact that two forbidden zones could evoke such feelings in him suggests the dangers involved are considerable.
There are only three ways for normal forces to enter from the northern border and attack the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
They could either break through Zhenyuan Pass with overwhelming force and then advance unimpeded, or they could cross the forbidden zone of life, or at the very least, bypass the forbidden zone of life and enter the Immortal Qin Dynasty from another location.
but--
Shen Changqing glanced at the two forbidden zones of life at Zhenyuan Pass and shook his head inwardly.
If one truly possessed the ability to traverse forbidden zones of life, one could easily break through Zhenyuan Pass directly.
As for bypassing the pass, that would be even more troublesome.
In this way...
The simplest way is to break through Zhenyuan Pass and then advance straight into the fortress.
but.
The simplest method is not necessarily the easiest.
Just by observing the numerous Great Dao restrictions at Zhenyuan Pass, Shen Changqing could tell how formidable this formidable pass was.
Any cultivators who attempt to fly through the air and pass directly through Zhenyuan Pass will be immediately suppressed and killed by the Great Dao restrictions. Even if they do not touch such Great Dao power, the guards of Zhenyuan Pass will not turn a blind eye.
Even if one steps into the Ninth Heaven—
Shen Changqing looked up at the direction of the Ninth Heaven, where the Great Dao restriction still existed.
These restrictive forces are numerous, with the powerful ones comparable to the level of a half-saint, and the weak ones capable of suppressing and killing an immortal emperor, demonstrating that Zhenyuan Pass is as impenetrable as an iron barrel.
Just then.
At Zhenyuan Pass.
A burly figure appeared, standing with his hands behind his back in the void. His majestic gaze swept over the many immortal ships before finally settling on Shen Changqing.
"Zhenyuan Pass is a fortress of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. No one may enter without an imperial edict. If you leave now, there is still room for maneuver."
If you persist in your course of action, Zhenyuan Pass will be your final resting place!
Han Chongshan spoke slowly, his tone calm and even, but the killing intent contained within made the world feel cold.
Shen Changqing remained standing with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent: "So you are Han Chongshan, the commander of Zhenyuan Army?"
"Now that you know my name, why don't you leave immediately!"
A cold glint flashed in Han Chongshan's eyes, but he did not make a move immediately.
Shen Changqing's composure made him somewhat wary.
More importantly, Han Chongshan couldn't see through Shen Changqing's true nature.
In his eyes, the other party was only at the level of an Immortal Emperor, but the problem was, what Immortal Emperor would dare to face him so directly?
Throughout the entire encounter, Shen Changqing's demeanor and behavior were not those of a Celestial Emperor facing a Half-Saint, which was enough to show that the opponent's strength was definitely not as simple as that of a Celestial Emperor.
This also suggests that the person who came was quite capable.
If someone can make it impossible for you to discern their true strength, then their power must be at least at the same level, and they might even be stronger than you.
In this way...
Han Chongshan naturally had to treat this matter with caution.
"Whether you can make me retreat depends on whether you, Han Chongshan, have the strength. In addition, I am also curious about how much more powerful you, the Lord of Zhenyuan Army, are compared to that of the Lord of Zhentian Army!"
"What do you mean--"
Upon hearing this, Han Chongshan's expression changed drastically, but before he could finish speaking, Shen Changqing had already taken action.
"boom!!!!"
