Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Qin Yi was in a great mood, the anxiety in his heart these days swept away.

He left the Military Supplies Supervision Department and entered a high-end restaurant, giving the restaurant owner a look, and asked for a private room.

Before long, a middle-aged scholar with ordinary features entered the private room where Qin Yi was.

When Qin Yi saw the person coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, not daring to be negligent, his expression very respectful.

"You were in such a hurry to find me, could it be that you've found an opportunity?" The middle-aged scholar looked at Qin Yi indifferently and said, "There isn't much time left. With the current situation, every day we delay, the chance of the Wuan army's movements being exposed will greatly increase. I hope you won't disappoint me. As long as you perform well this time, after it's done, you can become an elite disciple of my Myriad Poisons Sect!"

"Senior, please rest assured, this junior will definitely complete this task and will never let you down." A look of joy appeared on Qin Yi's face, "Senior, the reason why this junior came to see you is because the opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived. These days, the city's garrison has been simulating street fighting every day, and the soldiers are very tired. Prince Ning has decided to reward the three armies tonight. Fortunately, the Deputy Supervisor of our Military Supplies Supervision Department returned to Qianlong City early in the morning to prepare for the rear army's needs. Now, the only person in charge of the entire Supervision Department is this junior!"

"Oh?" The middle-aged scholar's eyes lit up and he said, "In that case, it is indeed an excellent opportunity. The current situation waits for no one, we must implement the plan tonight!"

"Senior is right, this junior guarantees to complete the task!"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yi's mouth, "The fall of this border city is imminent, Prince Ning is doomed, and the fate of Da Qian will be rewritten!"

"If the plan goes smoothly, the result should be without suspense." The middle-aged scholar said, pausing slightly, "Have you noticed anything unusual recently? The people around you, or whether someone is secretly watching you?"

"Senior, please rest assured, this junior can guarantee this point, there is nothing unusual at all."

Qin Yi was very confident, saying that he was extremely careful, and since becoming the Supervisor, he had not revealed any flaws, so he would not be suspected.

"Well, everything needs to be done with caution, it's better to be safe than sorry. According to the intelligence information we have, there is indeed nothing unusual."

As the middle-aged scholar spoke, he took out a spatial jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "Inside is the [Tendon-Weakening Qi-Dissolving Powder] specially refined by the experts of my Myriad Poisons Sect. This poison is a gas, colorless and odorless, and extremely secretive. After taking it, the toxicity will begin to take effect in half an hour, lasting for twenty-four hours. Before that, the user's muscles and bones will be weak, their whole body will be weak, their true energy will be stagnant, and their movements will be difficult."

Qin Yi took the medicine bottle and said, "Senior, why not use a more violent poison? If we can directly poison the garrison to death, there would be no need for the Wuan army to enter the city, wouldn't that be more convenient?"

"You are not on this path and do not understand poison." The middle-aged scholar glanced at Qin Yi and said, "The stronger the toxicity of the poison, the worse the concealment, and the easier it is to be detected. The target of this plan is a large number of people, with different levels of cultivation, so we must be cautious and not allow any mistakes!"

"I see."

Qin Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"After the plan is implemented, you need to confirm the results and then pass the news to us!"

"Yes."

Qin Yi responded.

… …

Returning to the Military Supplies Supervision Department, Qin Yi directly took people to the warehouse, preparing the supplies needed for tonight according to the list given above.

In the supply warehouse, a large number of logistics soldiers were busy, packing the supplies needed by the various military camps into Qiankun bags in batches.

"All of you be careful, don't let the ingredients for the major military camps be short, otherwise I'll punish you!"

Qin Yi said coldly, then walked to the Qiankun bags containing the food supplies, opening them one by one, carefully checking.

His expression was very serious and earnest, and each time he reached into the Qiankun bag to count the amount of food.

In the eyes of all the busy logistics soldiers, he was doing this to ensure that the amount of food was correct, but what they didn't see was that when Qin Yi's hand reached into the Qiankun bag, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, and a colorless and odorless gas overflowed from it, permeating the food.

The whole process was done without anyone knowing, and no one here knew that he was not counting the food, but poisoning it.

But what he did did not escape Jing Ya's divine sense perception, and even Prince Ning's divine sense perception could see the abnormality.

"Qin Yi has finally made his move."

Prince Ning muttered to himself in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

The three top sects of Hanzhou had been preparing for this for a long time, as had the Wuan Dynasty.

Wasn't the border city the same?

Half a month ago, Prince Ning, on the grounds of making the worst plan, asked the garrison to practice street fighting.

On the surface, they were practicing urban street fighting, but in reality, they were preparing the battlefield and area.

A huge area was designated for practicing street fighting.

All the people in these areas were moved away and relocated to the South City.

The current border city, the entire North City is empty, becoming a military training area.

The North City has an area of more than two hundred miles in radius.

Such an area, if concentrated encirclement and annihilation, is completely enough to accommodate two or three thousand talisman-armored troops, so that when the war breaks out, the people in the city will not be affected by the war.

The food supplies were delivered to the logistics departments of the major military camps in the afternoon, and the soldiers of the cooking camp began to get busy.

Everyone was in a good mood, with smiles on their faces, and some even humming a little tune.

Every military camp was like this.

… …

In the depths of the mountains where the Qingyun people were located.

Here, a huge underground passage was artificially excavated at some point, and the space was very wide.

At this time, a large number of people were busy.

What were they busy with?

Everyone was cooking!

All kinds of colorful, fragrant, and delicious food, filled with holy spiritual energy, were steaming hot, making people drool.

The strong men under Prince Ning's command stored these dishes in Naring one by one.

These were the dishes that the three armies would eat tonight, and were specially prepared to be replaced with the dishes made by the military camps.

… …

The setting sun was slanting, and dusk was coming.

"Prince Ning."

"Come in."

In the study, Prince Ning sat in a wheelchair, looked at the subordinate who came in, and said, "Are there any results from the poison test?"

"Yes, Prince Ning, the effect of this poison is not very strong, it will not pose a threat to people's lives, it will only make people's true energy stagnant, their muscles and bones weak, and their whole body weak. It is currently not clear how long its medicinal effect lasts."

"As expected." Prince Ning was not surprised, "The number of poisoning targets is too large, they naturally dare not use poisons with too strong effects, which are easy to be detected. Once something goes wrong, their plan will fall short. As for the duration of the medicinal effect, it is not important to us. Everything must be strictly in accordance with the plan. The more critical this moment is, the more cautious we must be, and there must be no mistakes. Go down."

… …

At night, the soldiers of the major military camps had a delicious meal.

Although drinking is prohibited in the army, the soldiers were still very happy, because the ingredients tonight were very difficult to eat on weekdays.

When they ate it into their stomachs, they could feel the pure vitality flowing along the meridians to the limbs and bones, making their whole body comfortable.

However, an hour after eating the delicious food, they all showed a state of weakness and lack of true energy.

The entire military camp was in a mess, everyone had this symptom, supporting each other back to their camps.

The soldiers sat cross-legged in the camps, seemingly trying to meditate and circulate their Qi, but they kept trying and failing, each with a pale face and weak strength.

The commanders of the major military camps turned pale, ordering the news to be blocked, and quickly reported to Prince Ning, sending people to thoroughly investigate the matter to see who was doing the tricks.

Qin Yi personally sneaked into several military camps, witnessed the terrible situation of the soldiers, and heard that those commanders were going to report to Prince Ning, he couldn't help but sneer secretly and quickly left.

This time, Qin Yi did not return to the Military Supplies Supervision Department.

He went directly to that restaurant, met the middle-aged scholar, and told him the news that the poisoning was successful and the plan was going smoothly, and also showed the middle-aged scholar the picture of the three armies' soldiers being listless recorded by the rune memory stone.

"Very good, Qin Yi, you did a great job!" The middle-aged scholar patted Qin Yi on the shoulder and said, "This time, you have made great contributions to breaking the border city, capturing Prince Ning alive, and capturing the largest fortress of Da Qian. Afterwards, the sect will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Qin Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and the beautiful picture of a bright future had already begun to be constructed in his mind.

He was about to go to Hanzhou and join the top sect of Hanzhou, the Myriad Poisons Sect!

What was Da Qian, what was Prince Ning, in front of the Myriad Poisons Sect?

At that time, with his status as an elite disciple of the Myriad Poisons Sect, no one in the entire Qingzhou would dare to challenge him. The half-step Overlords of Qingzhou, the Emperor of Qingzhou, would have to give way to him!

Although when he arrived in Hanzhou, he was only an elite disciple for the time being, and could only barely be considered excellent in Hanzhou, but for the people of Qingzhou, he, Qin Yi, had reached the pinnacle of his life!

Imagining that in the future, everyone in Qingzhou would look up to him, including those dynasty ministers, academy executives, and royal children who used to put on airs in front of him, Qin Yi felt an unspeakable excitement and longing in his heart, and the excitement in his heart made him uncontrollably shake twice like he was finishing peeing.

"What are you shaking for?"

The middle-aged scholar saw him suddenly shake twice, like he was finishing peeing, and couldn't help showing a strange look.

"No, nothing."

Qin Yi hurriedly controlled his emotions and forcibly restrained his inner self.

He didn't want the Dharma Protector of the Myriad Poisons Sect to see his thoughts, which would ruin his impression in the other party's mind.

"Young man, you are very good at working hard to win a better future for yourself. In the future, continue to perform well in the sect. With your talent, I believe you will shine brightly."

The middle-aged scholar smiled.

He had his own plans in mind.

This Qin Yi possesses remarkable talent. Even within the ranks of our Myriad Poisons Sect, his aptitude would be considered exceptional.

Ordinarily, someone like him wouldn't need to prove himself to become a disciple of the Myriad Poisons Sect. The sect needs such individuals.

However, I don't want Qin Yi to join the sect so easily.

How can such a genius not be properly utilized?

Qin Yi must understand that being able to cultivate in the Myriad Poisons Sect is due to this Protector's appreciation for his talent, so that he will remember this debt of gratitude in the future.

When Qin Yi rises higher and higher within the sect, he might even be able to help me in return.

......

The middle-aged scholar used special methods to send a message to the Wu'an army lurking outside the city.

Before long, the Wu'an army, which had been lying in wait hundreds of miles outside the border city, received the message and began to move.

They were numerous, numbering around ten million. Almost all of the troops stationed on the border were gathered here, with only a small portion left behind to patrol and drill in the military camps, in order to lull the border city's garrison into a false sense of security.

The Wu'an army's movements were significant, their numbers too great. The sound of warhorses and rune armor was deafening.

As they entered the valley, the commotion reached the border city.

On the border city's walls, the border soldiers were weak and slumped on the ground, leaning against the battlements, a picture of helplessness.

At this moment, the commanders of the rune-armored army lurking in the mountains behind the border city received orders from Ning Wang.

Although they were loyal to Jun Wuxie, Jun Wuxie had given orders before his departure that they were to obey Ning Wang's commands.

Several commanders led their senior officers to the summit of the mountain, overlooking the border city, their gazes directly passing over the city and landing outside the north gate.

As time passed, a large cloud of dust gradually appeared in the sky outside the north gate, like yellow sand stirred up by a tornado, obscuring a large part of the sky.

Gradually, at the entrance to the valley of the battlefield outside the city, a large number of rune-armored cavalry began to appear.

They were very fast, forming formations and charging towards the city.

After some of the cavalry rushed out, they were followed by infantry, pushing huge siege weapons, heading straight for the city gate and ramming it violently.

Boom!

The huge siege weapon crashed into the city gate, and the terrifying force caused the metal gate to erupt with a deafening roar, and large sections of the city wall trembled under the impact.

Behind them were still densely packed Wu'an rune-armored soldiers, constantly gathering, filling the entire battlefield.

The battlefield area was limited, and could not accommodate ten million troops at all. Even in a crowded state, it could only accommodate a few million at most.

The troops behind stopped and all halted in the valley.

Boom!

......

The city gate was constantly bombarded, and the joints where the metal gate connected to the city wall began to deform and become damaged.

After a quarter of an hour of bombardment, the city gate collapsed with a bang.

"The Dagan border city gate has been breached! We will capture this city tonight!"

Under the bright moonlight, the Wu'an army poured in, surging into the city in a mighty torrent.

"You go up and deal with the defenders on the city wall, the rest of you follow this commander to the other military camps!"

The Wu'an army advanced unimpeded, without encountering any resistance.

Ten million troops surged into the city like an iron torrent, a truly terrifying sight, frightening the people of the south city into hiding in their houses, afraid to come out.

They did not understand why the city had fallen so easily. How could the seven million strong garrison be defeated? What exactly had happened?

On the north city wall, a large number of Wu'an rune-armored soldiers went straight to the city wall, only to find that it was completely empty.

"There's no one guarding it? What's going on?"

"That's not right. According to the information, there were clearly people guarding the city wall."

"Never mind, perhaps the effects of the drug took hold, and they left supporting each other."

"Well, that's true. Now that this city has been breached, our ten million strong army is advancing unimpeded, invincible. Occupying this city is a certainty, without any suspense!"

Several commanders leading troops to the city wall said this, and then led their men away, rushing to the major military camps in the city.

The Wu'an army continued to pour into the border city.

Until the last batch of troops entered the city, the commanders far away in the mountains behind the border city witnessed this situation and immediately issued an order.

The ten million strong army boarded warships one after another, rushing towards the city at the fastest speed.

"Kill!"

In the northern district of the border city, the sounds of battle shook the sky.

The Wu'an army was divided into many groups, each rushing to different military camps.

When they stormed into the military camps, preparing to slaughter and capture the garrison, they found that the troops who had originally lost their fighting power suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

Moreover, fully energized and vigorous garrison troops appeared from all directions, and a large number of rune-linked crossbows were aimed and locked on them.

Seeing this scene, the Wu'an generals were first startled, and then reacted, angrily saying: "You weren't poisoned! You deliberately lured us into the city?"

"It seems you're not completely stupid."

The garrison general sneered. Countless rune-linked crossbows, their arrows flashing with cold light under the moonlight, were aimed at the Wu'an army.

"Hahaha! You only have a few million, yet you lured our ten million strong army into the city. Who gave you the courage!"

The Wu'an generals quickly calmed down and couldn't help but mock.

"A few million? Take a look at what that is?"

The garrison general pointed to the sky above the south city. The Wu'an generals turned their heads to look, their pupils shrinking violently.

Those were warships, huge warships, with a large number of rune-armored soldiers on them.

Roughly estimating based on the number of warships and the carrying capacity of each warship, I'm afraid there are close to ten million of them.

"Damn it, you despicable villains, you actually schemed against us like this!"

"Soldiers, follow me to break out of the city!"

They panicked. Once that batch of Dagan rune-armored soldiers arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Rumble!

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the city walls of the border city.

The city's great formation was activated, directly activated to the highest level. Those outside could not enter, and those inside could not leave.

Although this would consume a lot of the great formation's energy, at least in the short term, the Wu'an army would not be able to leave.

"Damn it! Fight them to the death!"

"Kill!"

In the northern city's major military camps, the sounds of killing shook the sky, and the firelight illuminated the night.

At the same time, the expressions of the powerhouses of the three major sects of Hanzhou, who were lurking in the city, were extremely gloomy.

"What exactly is going on? Why has it become like this?"

They were so angry that their faces turned ashen. Someone suddenly stared at Qin Yi, his eyes bursting with killing intent, and said in a cold voice: "Did you betray us?"

"No! Absolutely not, how could I dare to do such a thing, and I wouldn't do such a thing. That Ning Wang forcibly fed me the Three Corpse Soul-Devouring Pill, and An Ning discarded me like worn-out shoes. I hate them to the bone!"

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Surely not ourselves?" A Half-Step Overlord Saint from Extinction Soul Valley roared, slapping Qin Yi hard in the face, sending him flying on the spot, half of his face smashed to pieces, his skull cracked, and blood flowing freely.

"Whether it was you or not will be investigated! If it really was you, I will make you wish you were dead!"

That powerhouse did not kill Qin Yi, but had people arrest him.

"Now, we can only reverse the situation by capturing Ning Wang alive! Ning Wang is indeed powerful, he actually dared to use a counter-strategy, luring ten million troops into the city. Seeing him mobilizing heavy troops, I'm afraid he wants to annihilate the entire Wu'an army. He's really dreaming. If the top combat power is not good, and the leaders are not safe, no matter how many rune-armored troops there are, it's useless!"

The powerhouses of the three major top forces rushed towards the city lord's mansion one after another, and dozens of powerhouses from Wu'an also followed.

Their goal was very clear, which was Ning Wang and his powerhouses in the city lord's mansion.

"Well, this is really wonderful. I thought the border city was about to fall, but I didn't expect Ning Wang to have seen through it long ago and used a counter-strategy."

A powerhouse of the Haihe Clan squinted his eyes and talked to the people around him.

Beside him were not only other powerhouses of the Haihe Clan, but also powerhouses from the Dagan Royal Academy.

"Just right, Ning Wang is overwhelmed, we will go to Qingyun, kill the high-level people of Qingyun, and capture the master, senior brothers and senior sisters of that kid named Yue. When he comes out, he can only kneel down and die!"

A group of more than a dozen people, all in the Half-Step Overlord Saint realm, rushed mightily towards the mountains near the city lord's mansion.

"People of Qingyun, come out and die! Today, we are here to judge you!"

The powerhouses of the Haihe Clan and the Royal Academy were very strong, with a high and mighty posture, dominating everything.

Their voices echoed endlessly between the mountains, like thunder rolling, and then they rushed into the mountains like more than a dozen meteors.

At the moment they rushed into the mountains and fell into the mountains, a sound of sword cries shook the mountains and rivers.

The bright sword light soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

In this mountain range, several sword qi soared into the sky from each of the five peaks, instantly evolving into a sword formation domain, covering this area.

Dozens of top-grade saint swords flowing with sword formation runes and blooming with dazzling cold light rushed into the air, constantly shuttling, clanging and ringing, and the killing intent swept across the mountains and rivers.

This sword intent killing intent caused the expressions of the dozen or so powerhouses of the Haihe Clan and the Royal Academy to change drastically, and they only felt cold all over.

"Qingyun Sword Formation! Impossible, where did you get so many top-grade saint soldiers!"

The powerhouse of the Royal Academy jumped up and down like thunder, both shocked and angry.

Top-grade saint soldiers, the entire dynasty's treasure house can't produce one.

Now, there are actually dozens of them, all around them, dozens of top-grade saint soldiers blessed by the sword formation, wanting to kill them all here.

How could this be?

They are powerhouses of the Half-Step Overlord Saint, and it should have been easy to destroy Qingyun, but now their own lives are under great threat.

Qingyun, this ant, actually has the power to turn the world upside down.

This is something they cannot accept!
