Chapter 132.1
Thus, General Wang Jinhai led an army of 300,000 to resist the oncoming million believers.
Wine Sword Immortal and Empty Hand Master went to assist.
It is said that the Yellow Sky Sect was founded by three Innate powerhouses, who call themselves General Tiangong, General Digong, and General Rengong! Its just unknown which one of them is leading the troops this time, Wang Jinhai spoke up.
Who cares who it is, just cut them down! Wine Sword Immortal took a sip of wine and said with a bold and unconcerned air.
If only it were that simple! Wang Jinhai said.
Although the enemy they faced this time was a million devotees, in reality, they were just common people. With their 300,000-strong army, they were more than capable of handling them, but the fear was that something unexpected might happen.
The three generals of the Yellow Sky Sect were always shrouded in mystery.
They were able to amass millions of followers in a short period of time, which in itself is no mean feat.
Therefore, we must be cautious in this battle.
As they conversed, the million-strong followers of the Yellow Sky Sect had already arrived in a mighty throng.
Looking out, there were heads as far as the eye could see, densely packed, a veritable sea of humanity that made ones scalp tingle.
But upon closer inspection, it was hard to bear the sight.
Most of these followers were emaciated, their clothes barely covering them, including men and women, old and young, all carrying sticks or kitchen knives. It seemed as though they were not here to fight but to beg.
Master Empty Hand was stunned: This is the million-strong army of the Yellow Sky Sect? Old Wang, give me 100,000, no just 50,000, and I could rout them completely!
50,000? I, this old man, would suffice with 30,000! Wang Jinhai was also puzzled. They intended to attack Great Xia with such an army?
Who on earth gave them the courage to be so recklessly overconfident?
Looking further back, he saw that behind the million-strong army, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers clad in armor, wielding long swords, or carrying shields, which at least looked somewhat like a regular army.
In the very center of this regular army stood a figure dressed in a generals uniform, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Wang Jinhai and his companions speculated that this must be one of the three generals of the Yellow Sky Sect.
At this moment, this group of Yellow Sky Sect disciples had already arrived at the border of Great Xia, confronting the troops of Great Xia.
Then, raising their weapons high, they shouted loudly,
The Azure Sky is already dead, the Yellow Sky will soon rise!
World peace is upon us, at this very moment!
Their voices were filled with fervor.
Empty Hand Master furrowed his brows, These people seem a bit off!
Wine Sword Immortal whispered, I also feel somethings not quite right! They appear to be in an abnormal state of mind as if theyve been bewitched, showing extreme excitement!
Well have to play it by ear!
Wang Jinhai bellowed, Which general is leading the team? State your name!
General Digong is here! the leader shouted back.
What urgent matter brings your army here? Wang Jinhai asked loudly.
General Digong proclaimed, We come in peace! The world has been in chaos for too long, and its time to put an end to this age of turmoil! The Azure Sky is already dead, the Yellow Sky will soon rise! The merciful Yellow Sky deity commands us to enlighten the people, to let everyone enjoy an era of peace! So clear the way quickly, and let us pass!
How dare you!
Wang Jinhai shouted, You are nothing but a bunch of heretics! With your wild ambitions, you deceive the people with your fallacies and bewitch their minds! I, as a general, will absolutely not allow you to pass and bring disaster upon the people of Great Xia!
General Digongs eyes hardened, The Yellow Sky deity is merciful, saving all living beings! Yet you do not appreciate the deitys kindness, stubbornly resist, and even falsely accuse us of being heretics, committing a heinous crime against the heavens and earth! Men, charge forward!
Charge! A million believers surged forward.
Wang Jinhai didnt hold back either, shouting loudly, Fire arrows!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
Arrows fell like rain, covering the sky and earth.
This group of believers, who had not received any training, became living targets in the face of the arrow storm, falling to the ground one after another.
Yet despite this, they continued to charge fearlessly towards death.
Wine Sword Immortal watched with a sense of pity, Stop shooting arrows, they are just a group of ignorant commoners who have been misled!
Then I ask the two brothers to take action and slay General Digong! Wang Jinhai said with a cupped fist salute.
Alright! Wine Sword Immortal and Empty Hand Master exchanged a glance and swiftly moved to attack General Digong.
They cut through the enemy ranks as if entering a land with no one to stop them, making their way directly to General Digong.
Excellent skill! General Digong shouted, drawing his personal sidearm to meet the challenge.
However, after less than five exchanges, General Digong felt outmatched and actually abandoned his troops and fled.
I will remember this enmity and will surely avenge it another day!
The Wine Sword Immortal and others were dumbfounded!
Just like that, he ran away?
Isnt that too cowardly?
Wang Jinhai was also greatly surprised, feeling that this battle had come quickly and ended just as swiftly!
No, its not over yet!
He saw that the followers he had brought were still fearlessly charging towards the 300,000-strong army of Great Xia.
If there are weapons, use them to kill; without weapons, fight with fists. If hands and feet are of no use, then bite with teeth, headbutt with the skull, truly sparing no effort in the fight.
General, these people have gone mad, what do we do now?
Knock them out quickly!
Since the soldiers couldnt bear to kill, they could only knock them out, which made the scene look somewhat chaotic.
Just then, two sounds echoed between heaven and earth.
Hmph Ha
These two sounds, as if the voice of the cosmos itself, carried a power that shook the hearts of those on the battlefield.
Upon hearing that sound, all the cultists eyes rolled back and they fainted.
The situation on the battlefield was quickly reported to Lin Beifan.
Report to Your Majesty, General Wang Jinhai, the Wine Sword Immortal, and the Empty Hand Master have led 300,000 troops of Great Xia and defeated the million-strong army of the Yellow Sky Sect!
Lin Beifan nodded, They have all done very well. They will be rewarded upon their return.
However, according to the report from General Wang, General Digong was besieged by the Wine Sword Immortal and the Empty Hand Master. Knowing he was no match, he fled! But the million-strong army he left behind seemed to be bewitched, continuing to attack our forces!
Later on, a strange sound echoed between heaven and earth. After hearing this sound, they all fainted! Now they have all regained consciousness and are fine! However, General Wang suggests that it would be wise to observe for another two days!
Lin Beifan was very clear about the matter, for the voice had come from him.
At the time, he had discovered that these people were mentally disturbed, as if hypnotized, only knowing to kill the enemy regardless of their own lives.
Thus, he employed the Dao Heart Seed Magic Technique, uttering the sounds hmm and ha.
These two syllables carried a powerful mental deterrence, and anyone whose mental strength was inferior to his would be overwhelmed by his psychic force and faint.
With that, the crisis was averted.
Good, I understand.
Lin Beifan nodded. Well do as General Wang suggests! After observing for two days and if theres no issue, whether they leave or stay is up to them! If they wish to stay, arrange for them to clear the land!
Yes, Your Majesty!
On the other side, General Digong had already fled back to the headquarters of the Yellow Sky Sect.
Second brother, how did it go? General Tiangong asked with concern.
That Great Xia is indeed formidable; they sent two people with Astral Qi strength to deal with me! Luckily, I ran fast. Otherwise, I might have been left behind! General Digong said with lingering fear.
Its good that youre back safely. Great Xia is not so easy to deal with! General Tiangong said.
However, they shouldnt expect to get off easily!
General Digong said with schadenfreude: I used the art of bewitchment and turned those million followers into death soldiers who only know how to kill! Now, Great Xia must be having a headache, haha
General Tiangong couldnt help but laugh: Good!
Their very foundation lies in the art of bewitchment.
Through the art of bewitchment, they can make followers believe in them and obey their commands.
Even to the point of sacrificing their lives is not a difficult task for them.
It is with this art of bewitchment that they have been able to amass millions of followers in such a short period of time.
Just then, a person rushed in hurriedly, handing over a piece of paper.
After reading it, General Tiangong let out a deep sigh and said with a wry smile, Oh, my younger brother, Ive just received news that your million followers have all been captured by Great Xia! And it seems that they have broken your bewitchment!
General Digongs face turned pale: Impossible!
In this world, nothing is impossible, just look!
General Digong took the paper and, upon reading it, became so furious that he crushed it into powder, grinding his teeth in anger and cursed, Damn it!
General Tiangong sighed again, It seems that Great Xia has measures specifically against us! π£πππππππ¨π©.πππ’
Big brother, what do we do now? asked General Digong.
For now, we can only temporarily give up on Great Xia. Lets not provoke them any further! Otherwise, if we anger them and they send someone to break our bewitching spells, all the foundations weve built will be destroyed!
General Digong, though reluctant, could only sigh, Thats the only way, alas!
Subsequently, the Yellow Sky Sect did not provoke Great Xia, instead focusing most of their energy on the three nations of Great Shi, Great Zhu, and Great Xue.
Seeing that they knew their place, Lin Beifan couldnt be bothered to pay them any attention.
The saying goes, Better for a fellow Daoist to die than for me to perish. Its fine if you bring disaster to other countries, just dont bring it to mine, or else youll learn why the flowers are so red.
Indeed, the Yellow Sky Sect disciples in those three great kingdoms developed very rapidly.
Especially in the nations of Great Shi and Great Zhu, they had just seized the land of Great Yue, which had already been ravaged by Lin Beifan, leaving the common people there unable to make ends meet.
Once the people of the Yellow Sky Sect sowed their seeds of discord, the populace quickly rebelled and threw themselves into the arms of the Yellow Sky Sect.
Thus, these two countries suffered greatly.
The disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect swarmed through like locusts, plundering food and valuables along their path, some even setting fire to cities.
The imperial court wanted to deploy troops to strike at them, but it was particularly difficult.
Because it was impossible to distinguish who was a disciple of the Yellow Sky Sect and who was one of their own civilians; they had completely blended together.
Yellow Sky Sect disciples even infiltrated the ranks of their soldiers, leading to the failure of many operations.
Damn Yellow Sky Sect! Instead of causing trouble in Great Xia, they specifically come to torment us!
Once I catch my breath, I will surely deal with you!
Thus, unable to resist, the nations of Great Shi and Great Zhu were the first to descend into chaos.
Lin Beifan watched with eyes gleaming, his heart filled with joy.
This Yellow Sky Sect is incredibly powerful!
Once youve caused enough trouble for Great Shi and Great Zhu, Ill send in my troops to clean up the aftermath!
