The Soul Master is a spiritual body created by the martial artist's true qi. Its power comes from the martial artist's core - true qi, and is intertwined with the martial artist's unique attributes and traits.

When martial artists release this skill, they will spread a large amount of true qi outside their bodies, which will merge with their own attribute elements and gradually condense into a soul master with a substantial form.

However, in order to summon this powerful soul master, the martial artist's cultivation must at least reach the Shenglong realm.

Martial artists who can reach the Shenglong realm are extremely rare, and most of the strong men in this class gather in Tongtian Pavilion, one of the five super sects.

The other party claimed to be from Tongtian Pavilion and could release the soul master, so there is no doubt that they are from Tongtian Pavilion.

However, Tongtian Pavilion and Shenjian Sect had no grudges against each other, so it stood to reason that they should not attack a second-grade sect.

What is the reason behind this?

Just as Duan Tianyang was lost in thought, a soldier suddenly broke into the room and interrupted his thoughts.

The soldier eagerly intervened and saluted, and said nervously: "Sir, a large army has appeared outside the north city. Judging from the flags, it is very likely the main city army!"

As soon as the news came out, Lu Jingyuan and others stood up, instinctively tightened their weapons, and prepared to fight the opponent at any time.

Duan Tianyang saw this and quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down. He said in a steady voice: "Don't panic, just rest here and leave the matters of the main city army to me."

Then, he turned to Lu Jingyuan, patted his arm gently, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, relax and heal your wound first. I also want you to help me win an Olympic gold medal. Oh, no, you want you to teach me archery!"

The purpose of his saying this was, on the one hand, to make Lu Jingyuan feel at ease, and on the other hand, it also revealed his intention to recruit Lu Jingyuan under his command.

Lu Jingyuan showed a bitter smile and said, "Master Duan, you are my savior. My Divine Arrow Sect is willing... willing to obey your orders."

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang showed joy on his face. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly left the yard with Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and others and headed towards the north city.

On the way, Guan Hu asked thoughtfully: "Brother Tian, ​​did Tongtian Pavilion attack Shenjianmen because they are dark martial artists?"

The five giants are all of light attributes and have always held a rejection attitude towards dark attributes.

Duan Tianyang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason behind this is, the most urgent task is to deal with the main city army outside the city."

He walked firmly to the north gate and decisively ordered it to be opened.

Afterwards, all the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner, ready to welcome the arrival of the main city army.

The city gate slowly opened with a heavy sound, and Duan Tianyang led three thousand soldiers out of Xiguan City.

They quickly formed into a neat square formation and stared into the distance.

The dust in the distance was flying, covering the sky like a raging sandstorm.

When the figures of the oncoming army gradually became clear, they were shocked to realize that the army in front of them was large in number and dense like a tide, like an endless ocean, vast and boundless.

The army now marching has more than 10,000 people, and its momentum and grandeur are truly breathtaking.

After observing, Guan Hu approached Duan Tianyang and whispered, "Brother Tian, ​​the soldiers from the two main cities combined are really terrifying!"

Duan Tianyang stared at the main city army in front of him with a sharp gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said in a deep voice: "There are only more than 10,000 people."

He paused and continued, "The military strength of Xuanhuang City alone has reached 100,000, and the combined military strength of the twelve main cities is close to one million. In comparison, what are these 10,000-plus people?"

When Guan Hu and others saw the main city army, their first feeling was amazement. They were amazed at the huge army before them that had the momentum to swallow up mountains and rivers.

But for Duan Tianyang, his thoughts drifted to the more distant future.

He imagined that if one day his power in Xiguan grew and attracted an attack from Xuanhuang City, how would he deal with the combined pressure from the twelve main cities?

The main city army continued to advance until they approached the city gate and stopped.

Then, the front camp split to the left and right, and dozens of riders walked out. Their leaders, wearing golden armor, were Lü Yun, the city guard chief of Xihui City, and Gao Qiang, the commander of Mingfeng City.

In the military system, the duty of the city guard chief is to manage 5,000 soldiers, while the position of commander is one level higher, commanding 10,000 troops, which is equivalent to the position of the city lord of thirty-six affiliated cities.

The two men rode their horses and walked towards Duan Tianyang and others at a leisurely pace. Duan Tianyang turned his head slightly and glanced at Guan Hu beside him.

Seeing this, Guan Hu immediately urged his horse to speed up, came up to the two men, put his hands in salute, and said respectfully: "I am Guan Hu, the chief of the Xiguan City Guard, and I am here to see you two adults."

"Isn't Su Wen the chief of the Xiguan City Guard?" Gao Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at Guan Hu with arrogance, "When did you become the chief?"

Guan Hu knew that the other party was pretending to be ignorant, so he replied: "Reporting to Lord Gao, Lord Su was unfortunately killed by the barbarians. Now I am temporarily taking over the position of the chief of the city guard of Xiguan City."

"Oh, so that's what happened." Gao Qiang nodded, and suddenly changed the subject, "I want to ask you, where are the remaining rebels who fled to your Xiguan City now?"

“They fled into the territory of Xifan!”

"What?" Gao Qiang was shocked, frowning. He pointed at Guan Hu and asked sternly, "Did you let the remnants of the rebels escape on purpose?"

Without waiting for Guan Hu's response, Duan Tianyang rode forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with Guan Hu, put his hands together and said, "Master Gao, it was entirely my fault that the rebels were able to break through Xiguan City. I accidentally fell into the hands of the rebels, and they used me as a threat to force Master Guan to open the city and let them go."

Gao Qiang turned his gaze to Duan Tianyang and looked him up and down.

Duan Tianyang had an extraordinarily handsome appearance, a rare sight in Gao Qiang's life.

He had never expected that such a person existed in this remote Xiguan City.

After a brief look, Gao Qiang asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"I am the commander of the Xiguan City Battalion, Duan Tianyang."

"Battalion Guard Commander?!" Gao Qiang was furious when he heard this. It was ridiculous that the rebels could force Xiguan City to release them just by kidnapping a battalion guard commander!

He roared angrily, "Do you know how much our Mingfeng City paid in order to retake Yunzhong City? How many brave soldiers were defeated and shed blood on the battlefield? However, you, Xiguan City, let him go easily just because a battalion guard captain was kidnapped. Who gave you such courage and decision-making power? Come on, capture Guan Hu for me!"

As he finished his words, a group of soldiers from the main city army camp behind him surged out like a tide and surrounded Guan Hu tightly in the middle.
