Chapter 1166 - Chapter 1166 Chapter 1170 Rout

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1170: Rout Chapter 1166: Chapter 1170: Rout Li Yunzi took a deep breath.

Peng Chen and Pengwu were two very important divine generals. In recent years, they had continuously persuaded small continents like the Holy Quel Continent, which had fallen to Tian Shu, and thereby established a very large Exotic Land Holy Army, whose strength was absolutely on par with some lower organizations of the gods.

When deciding to go to war with Tian Shu, Li Yunzi had deployed them in Giant Wing City to the southeast of Tian Shu God City…

This deployment was quite stealthy, so much so that, in order to avoid detection, Peng Chen and Pengwu had divided the Holy Army into six groups, scattered across the great cities in the southeast direction of Tian Shu God City. Only when the official attack was launched would these six groups of the Holy Army converge like streams into a river, launching a fierce offensive against Tian Shu God City and coordinating with internal agents.

However, all the forces lurking within and deployed outside were chopped down!

Even the two important god generals, Peng Chen and Pengwu, were dead!!

“I understand.” Li Yunzi also gave a word of caution to Commander Cheng before entering the Divine Temple.

Upon entering the Divine Temple, her subordinates were all in a hurry to report.

It was news of the sudden deaths of people holding important positions outside; Li Yunzi could only have someone note them down on the side. After everything was written down, she found that the list was very long…

Many people had died.

There were servants with high cultivation bases, important generals, loyal Loose Immortals, and some significant family doors…

The lengthy list even made Li Yunzi somewhat unclear whether it was Tian Shu God Manor using its vast power for a major purge, or if it was targeting them entirely!

…

For four consecutive days, news of deaths kept coming in.

And finally, the very thing Li Yunzi was most worried about happened!!

The Female Monarch Guards, who set out from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent before the campaign, were ambushed by the Asura Clan led by Ming Meng God in their territory!

The entire army was defeated, and less than thirty percent survived!!

This expeditionary force from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent was the main strength of the God Guards against the Ascetic Monks and Golden Supreme Martial Monks!!

What Li Yunzi never expected was that before they even reached Xuange Country Capital, they had already been severely crushed!!

The person leading this team was none other than Hong Geng, Emperor of the Holy Quel Continent, yet he was also captured, and his life or death remained uncertain!

…

Silence filled the Divine Temple; the divine generals present also found the news hard to believe.

Their God Army, God Guard, and Holy Army were clearly preparing, clearly converging like streams, about to form a vast river that would sweep over Tian Shu God Manor. Yet, the battle seemed to have ended before it even started!

At this moment, Li Yunzi could already feel an invisible hand clutching her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe!

The painstaking efforts of her undertaking had been crushed in just a few short days!!

With these God Armies gone, how could they contend with Tian Shu God Manor? No matter how high their Cultivation Base is, they would still be overwhelmed by the vast power of Tian Shu God Manor!!

Before the final showdown with Hua Chou had even begun, they had already been routed beyond recognition.

In the Divine Temple, no one spoke for a long time, as the events of these days simply defied all reason.

“Now it’s probably very difficult to contend with Hua Chou. Even if we go all out now, we might not even see the Divine Tower of the Divine City. I’m afraid we must leave Xuange Divine Country and retreat back to Supreme Court Courtyard Continent,” Commander Cheng expressed his view.

“All of this is very sudden. Now we’re certain that the opponent has a Prophet, who already understands all of our deployments and movements. Our core members have been subjected to various ambushes in a short period of time…” Zheng Yu spoke.

“What National Aid Zheng is saying is that even if we were thinking of retreating to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, the enemy might already be aware of it. Will our retreat still be troubled??” Nie Xiaoxuan asked.

Zheng Yu nodded. He glanced at Li Yunzi, saw that she was not speaking, and thus had no choice but to preside over the meeting himself, continuing to discuss countermeasures with everyone in a relatively calm tone.

Every move being known, and with the forces deployed outside all uprooted, this left them all completely in the dark about the outside situation.

Had Tian Shu God Manor already launched an attack?

Were the Divine creatures of the Hua Chou Faction lying in ambush outside?

And, how many strong gods do they currently have???

All unknown!

They were extremely passive, with bad news continually coming in.

“Then we can only defend the Xuange Country Capital to the death. The God Country Capital is made up of four large Holy Cities, akin to steel mountains and iron ridges. It would cost Tian Shu God Manor’s Ascetic Monks and Martial Monks a heavy price to break in,” the newly appointed War Saint Hu Gong said.

“One of the Holy Cities has already been destroyed by the Evil Fallen Buddha. If the enemy indeed has a Prophet, they must know this. Therefore, I guess that they will attack from the direction of White Holy City soon. We truly have no choice but to hold this God Country Capital… Has the defense of White Holy City been reinforced?” Zheng Yu said.

“Three days ago, as the Female Monarch ordered, reinforcements were sent,” War Saint Hu Gong said.

“Everyone needn’t panic. Our people from Yuheng Star Palace will also arrive in the next few days. Xuange Country Capital itself is easily defended but hard to attack. If people from Tian Shu God Manor come attacking, it might not be a bad thing for us. Using the current defensive mountains and those Arrays in the God Country Capital, it’s not impossible to fight against Tian Shu God Manor,” Linghu Ling spoke at this moment.

Linghu Ling had already received reliable news that the God’s Head Meng Bingci was coming with various Celestial Maidens, Celestial Respects, and Sword Gods–although few in number, these were all strong Sword Cultivators!

“Some fellow disciples from our Immortal Mountain will also come. We must not become disoriented,” Cai You said to boost morale.

Cai You had just arrived these past few days.

When ascending to Ghost Mark Star, Cai You also entered a breakthrough period. In order not to affect her cultivation, Zhu Minglang let her stay in Yuheng Star Palace to cultivate together with Meng Bingci.

Cai You did not disappoint, breaking through her Cultivation Base constraints and stepping into the Divine Monarch level.

Of course, Cai You’s breakthrough was also related to Zhu Minglang’s substantial increase in strength. After all, Cai You was originally Divine Soul Servant to Zhu Minglang, and the improvement of Zhu Minglang’s Divine form and Divine Soul brought huge benefits to her as a devout follower!

Her arrival was like a glimmer of hope amidst the recent spate of bad news.

The fellow disciples mentioned by Cai You were naturally the Fu Chen Servants from Dragon Tail Mountain, with seven great servants to come, all reaching the God principal level!

“Our situation is unfavorable, and they will surely take the initiative to attack, primarily with the army of Ascetic Monks from Tian Shu God Manor. Could we potentially do this: only allow some people to stay behind to defend Xuange Country Capital to attract the attention of the main forces of Tian Shu God Army, while our main force in the Divine Realm could abandon Xuange Country Capital and go directly to Tian Shu God City, to strike down Hua Chou in one fell swoop?” Linghu Ling proposed.
