When he heard the words Tai Su Qing Lan, Ao Beijiang’s mind buzzed, and without even thinking, he raised his hand and slapped a talisman directly on top of his brow.
The name Qing Lan might not be heard of now, but many years ago, no one did not know that there was a Qing Lan in Tai Su. After Qing Lan crossed the second decay of the Dao of Harmony, he wanted to go to the Tai Yi Realm to find a way to prove the third step of the Dao. As a result, Tai Su Realm Master Yin Xingwen did not allow him to enter, and at that time, Yin Xingwen and three Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors joined forces to deal with Qing Lan.
Although Qing Lan was severely injured in the end, the Taiyi Realm lost a Daoist powerhouse, and Yin Xingwen and the other two were wounded. After Qing Lan was seriously injured, he did not return to the Tai Su Realm, and I heard that he left the Five Tai Realms to go to a more distant interface in search of the third step of the Dao of enlightenment, or just disappeared far away anyway.
When Qing Lan suddenly appeared at this moment, it would be strange if Ao Beijiang was not afraid. He didn’t think he could compete with the Taiyi Realm Master, Yin Xingwen, and now that Yin Xingwen and the rest of the Hedao Saints were being held back, it would be strange for someone to come to his aid. Besides, after so many years, who knew whether Qing Lan had attained the third step of the Dao?
Ao Beijiang had escaped from countless crises in the void, relying on his incredibly agile mind. After Qing Lan’s name was announced, he didn’t hesitate half a second to offer up the Transport Talisman.
While the Transport Talisman was attached to his brow and turned into a blood light, two grey dao rhythms remained wrapped around Ao Beijiang’s body, curling up a blood light.
After the blood light splashed out, Ao Beijiang disappeared from the void without a trace.
“What a genus of rats, running so fast.” Qing Lan sneered at the void.
From the time Ning Cheng sacrificed the Fifth Bridge of the Afterlife, to the time when Ao Beijiang attacked Ning Cheng, to the time when Qing Lan suddenly appeared and Ao Beijiang fled, the process in between could be said to be nothing more than a gap.
Immediately after these events, Yin Xingwen knew that the strength of Hedao had changed, he had fought Qing Lan and Qing Lan’s strength would definitely not be weaker than his. Moreover, after all these years, he did not know how far Qing Lan had reached.
As for Qing Lan knocking Ao Beijiang away in one move, Yin Xingwen could only despise it in his heart. What he despised was Ao Beijiang, Ao Beijiang could obviously block Qing Lan for a while, but this fellow was afraid of death and would rather escape even if he was seriously injured.
As soon as Xiao Qiandong saw Qing Lan appear and Ao Beijiang flee, he knew that the Tai Su Realm would at least not lose the battle. He likewise flew up and sacrificed his magic treasure, blasting at Qu Bai. It was obvious that Shi Yiqing could not stop Qu Bai, and if this continued, Shi Yiqing was afraid that he would be the first to be killed.
Now that Qing Lan was here, and now Xiao Qidong had struck again, Yin Xingwen could only sigh helplessly in his heart. Once Taiyi lost another Hedao, it would be a total loss for the Tai Su army. He had not expected the Tai Su Realm to be this strong before he left for the army. Those dozens of Hybrid Saint Emperors of unknown origin and incomparably powerful, there was no telling where Ning Cheng had found them from.
Just as Yin Xingwen wanted to call for a halt, a warship once again flew over in the distance at speed.
The battleship stopped at the periphery of the battlefield with great speed, and Lu Dong Ce appeared at the front of the battleship as he shouted to Ning Cheng at the edge of the protective formation, “Brother Ning Cheng, I, Lu Dong Ce, have come to help you.” As he spoke, dozens of hybrid powerhouses rushed out of the battleship and sacrificed their magic treasures to join the melee.
The group of people that Lu Dong Ce came over were all Mixed Origin Saint Emperors, none of them were Harmonious Dao powerhouses, nor did they bring the Dao Court Army over, so they obviously did not come over on behalf of the Tai Shi Realm, but on behalf of individuals.
Yin Xingwen’s heart sank completely. Taiyi was now gaining the upper hand, and the fact that the number of Taiyi’s Dao Court Army was far stronger than that of the Tai Su Realm was certainly an important reason. But there was another, more important reason for this, and that was the fact that Tai Yi Realm’s Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors had the upper hand, and that the Mixed Yuan powerhouses had even overpowered the Tai Su Realm.
Now that Qing Lan from the Tai Su Realm had come over, and Ao Beijiang had fled, plus Lu Dong Ce had brought dozens of Mixed Yuan Saint Emperors to help, the contrast in strength was immediately revealed.
Now it is not too obvious, but when Qing Lan stops one of the Hedao Saint Emperors and the Hedao powerhouses from the Tai Su Realm go to deal with the Hybrid Saint Emperors, then the contrast will be revealed immediately.
“Daoist Emperor Ning, everyone stop. Since Daoist Friend Qing Lan is also here, let’s sit down and negotiate.” Yin Xingwen said on the spur of the moment.
Ning Cheng simply ignored Yin Xingwen’s words and even said aloud, “Thank you, Brother Lu, for coming all the way here to help.”
After saying that, his tone became more and more intense as he said, “All of my Tai Su Dao Court army, Tai Yi is shameless and wants to take over our place, kill our cultivators and rob our resources. In order to preserve my Tai Su, senior Qing Lan, who lives in seclusion in my Tai Su Realm, has also come over, and both Tai Shi and Tai Chu have helped each other, and now it is finally our turn to attack. Fellow Daoist Black and White, follow me and shift back and forth …… Shasu, mobilize the Tenth Dao Court Army and guide all my Tai Su’s Dao Court armies to attack and exterminate Tai Yi’s invading trash.”
“Exterminate the Taiyi trash!”
…….
Ning Cheng’s words provoked the nearly twenty million Tai Su Dao Court army to counterattack, and under the guidance of the formation flags of Sha Su’s army, the Tai Su Dao Court army, which had been resisting each other by virtue of their formations, suddenly scattered. The Taiyi Daoist Court army was also led by a Mixed Saint Emperor, and as soon as the Tai Su Daoist Court army scattered, the Mixed Saint Emperors of the Taiyi Daoist Court knew that it was no good, that it was going to switch formations.
It was just that Tai Su had two great powerhouses, Ning Cheng and Black and White Whiskers, presiding over the formation transfer, and there were still over a million formation masters leading the 10 million plus Tai Su Daoist Court Army in front of them.
In contrast, the Taiyi Dao Court Army was a mixture of people from several Dao Courts, who had previously suppressed the Tai Su Realm by virtue of their strength, making it impossible for the Tai Su Realm to change formations and only relying on the protective formations to correspond. Now that the Mixed Origin Saint Emperors and the Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors could not gain the upper hand, the Tai Su Realm looked like it was about to turn from defence to attack.
Knowing this, the Mixed Origin Saint Emperors of the Tai Su Realm did not have the means to respond in the same short period of time.
Sure enough the chaotic formation on the side of the Tai Su Daoist Court Army finished regrouping in a short period of time, and one Tai Su Daoist Court Army followed the formation masters that Sha Su had detached and immediately began to interpenetrate after breaking out of the protective formation.
As the person presiding over this great battle, Yin Xingwen naturally saw clearly the changes between the Taiyi Daoist Court Army and the Tai Su Daoist Court Army. It was just that although Chu Man Ho was inferior to him, he was not a weakling either. The more anxious he became, the more relaxed Chu Man Ho became.
Just as Chu Man Ho was thinking about how to make Yin Xingwen get hurt, a voice came out, “Leave this Yin to me, you go deal with the rest of them.”
Following this voice came two completely different Dao rhymes, Chu Man He did not care about these two Dao rhymes. She knew that the person who came was Qing Lan, and she had seen how Qing Lan had just blown away Ao Beijiang. This person’s strength might even be above hers, so when Qing Lan came over, she immediately stepped aside and pounced on Weisheng Hao.
Although Yan Binji and Wan Yi were half-step Hedao practitioners, they were strong veterans. But they still seemed to be struggling against Weisheng Hao, and Yan Binji was even seriously injured.
Chu Man Ho’s strength was already far stronger than Wei Sheng Hao’s, and now that she had joined the battle, Wei Sheng Hao’s pressure suddenly became heavier.
Ye Qianhua, the Daoist ruler of the Yuqing Dao Court, who had been pinned down by the Yongwang Sect’s Wu Lin, had become anxious when the Tai Su Dao Court had changed its formation to an attack. Now, when he saw that Wei Shenghao, the Daoist protector of the Yuqing Dao Court, was in danger, the thought of retreat immediately came to his mind.
Originally, the Jade Emperor’s court had sent out its troops because the Tai Su Realm was bound to lose, but now it seemed that the Tai Su Realm was getting stronger and stronger, so it was difficult to predict the consequences of the Tai Yi Daoist Court’s army continuing to fight. If they did not retreat at this time, then the Jade Clear Daoist Court might really suffer heavy losses.
Staying here for the sake of a mere bit of Chaos Qi would really be more than worth the loss.
“The Jade Clear Daoist Court army will retreat immediately, and the Weisheng Protective Court will also protect the army to retreat ……,” Ye Qianhua was extremely decisive and immediately issued the retreat command after deciding to retreat.
The Taixuan Daoist Court had only sent a token million Daoist Court army, in their opinion it was too easy for the Taiyi Realm to crush Tai Su. The Daoist Monarch Xie Xinshui of the Taixuan Daoist Court had not intended to send an army, and now that he had sent one it was just for show. So they were only doing some token attacks at the edges.
And now that Tai Su was getting stronger and stronger, with a main force like the Yuqing Daoist Court retreating, he, the Taixuan Daoist Court, was still staying here looking for death.
Almost at the same time as Ye Qianhua gave the order to retreat, the leading court pillar of the Taixuan Daoist Temple also gave the order to retreat.
As soon as tens of millions of people retreated, the whole scene became even more chaotic.
Ning Cheng and Black and White Whiskers secretly cried out in pity, this Ye Qianhua was too decisive and retreated too quickly for their trapping and killing formation to even shift in time.
Lei Xiu Ran of the Cloud Light Daoist Court was greedier, although he sensed that the Tai Su Daoist Court was moving the Trapped Kill Formation, he was still thinking of using the opening when the Tai Su Realm broke out of the protective formation and pressed on to crush the Tai Su Daoist Court army at once.
Lei Xiu Ran’s idea could not be said to be wrong, if there was no guidance from a formation powerhouse like Black and White Whiskers, and if there was no sudden retreat of the tens of millions of Daoist Court troops from the Yuqing Daoist Court, it might have been possible.
Now that the Dao Court army of the Jade Clear Dao Court had suddenly retreated, the Dao Court army of the Taixuan Dao Court also retreated violently, immediately giving him a feeling of being caught off guard.
Before Lei Xiuran could give the order to retreat, Qu Bai in the distance let out a piteous sound. Immediately afterwards, thousands of dao rhyme lights exploded out of the void, and countless rule auras collapsed into the air. The majestic aura pressed down as if a bucket of water had suddenly dispersed, dissipating swiftly. These dissipated Dao-rhyme light and rule breaths directly tore the Dao Court army in front of them into pieces, and finally blasted at the Tai Su Realm’s great boundary protection formation, causing the Tai Su Dao Court’s great boundary protection formation to shake for a while after another.
As Qu Bai fell, Lei Xiu Ran’s heart sank and a cold, icy chill surged through his heart. It was appalling that a Hedao Saint Emperor had fallen without even having a chance to escape in the middle of such a great battle between the Dao Court armies. At this moment, where was the thought of hesitation, he did not hesitate to issue the order to retreat.
The moment Qu Bai fell, the entire Dao Court army of the Lucid Dao Court was in chaos. A large portion of the Tai Su Dao Court’s trapping and killing formation shifted, and countless Dao Court armies of the Liuzhou Dao Court became defenceless under the siege of the Tai Su Dao Court army in the trapping and killing formation.
Ye Qianhua and Weisheng Hao, who had retreated to a distance, also sighed in their hearts, from today onwards, the Daoist Court of Liuzhou was completely finished.
Weisheng Hao also knew that the reason why Qu Bai had fallen was because of him, he fled straight away, Chu Man He did not chase him, but made a move on Qu Bai. Qu Bai’s strength was already the weakest, and now that three Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors had struck at him at the same time, it would be strange if he didn’t fall.
On the other side, Feng Si-tseng’s soul was scattered and Qu Bai fell, and as soon as he had made his escape, he began to swear that he would never come back to the Tai Su Realm in this life.
