"Black and White Protectors!"

Poison Hand Scholar called out, and the Black and White Protectors immediately entered, their expressions tinged with disappointment.

They had thought Poison Hand Scholar would directly destroy Fang Xing, this offending fellow…

White Protector was even prepared to recommend several cruel tortures from the cult, but now it seemed they wouldn't be needed.

"From today onwards, Ancestor Nature joins our side, preparing for the final battle against the Sect Alliance!"

Poison Hand Scholar coughed lightly and said, "You two, when you see Ancestor Nature, you must respect him as you would respect me…"

"What?"

Black Protector and White Protector exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat incredulous.

Especially White Protector!

She had always been ashamed of her defeat at Fang Xing's hands, but now what? Fang Xing had become her superior?

However, both she and Black Protector were intelligent people. After a glance, they roughly guessed that Fang Xing had secretly joined the cult.

As for the former remnants of the ancient Dao lineage from the Extraterritorial Lands suddenly becoming a favored one of the Great Destroyer God, their minds simply couldn't process it; they wouldn't consider it in that light.

"Alright, next let's look at the battle arrangements…"

Poison Hand Scholar, having received a signal from Fang Xing, said, "Currently, the Seven Great Sect Alliance is based at Blood Shadow Gate's mountain gate, maneuvering against our army… Their high-end combat power includes seven Yang God True Monarchs… Among them, Upper God Hall can use the 'Summoning God Technique' to summon a puppet ancestor at the Yang God realm's later stage to entangle me."

"While sects like Flying Immortal Sect and Hao Yang Palace only have ancestors at the early Yang God realm or so, they also possess treasures for suppressing their sects… Together, they've gathered the 'Six Treasures of Pacifying the Heavens,' enough to entangle with a divine artifact…"

"Our side has six High Priests, who need to set up a ritual in advance to barely possess Yang God combat power…"

"In terms of military formations, our side's professional teams have an absolute advantage, but their numbers are small. Forcibly attacking the enemy's formation would still result in too many losses…"

Fang Xing nodded repeatedly as he listened.

The array formations of the cultivation world are equivalent to the city walls of ancient times. No matter when, attacking an enemy guarded by city walls requires paying a heavy price.

Hence the saying, 'To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill; to attack a city is the last resort.'

Of course, in the cultivation world, it mainly depends on the outcome of the top-tier combat power.

"The reason we didn't launch a decisive battle before was simply because we lacked the power to deliver a final blow. Now that Ancestor Nature has joined, his cultivation is comparable to the later stage of the Yang God realm, enough to kill several Yang God True Monarchs and secure the overall situation…"

Poison Hand Scholar said.

"Later stage of the Yang God realm?"

Black Protector was shocked, and White Protector sighed inwardly, knowing that she might never be able to avenge herself.

Even preparing for the final battle.

And in this process, how many touching deeds and sacrifices the intelligence personnel of each sect made, and how many casualties occurred on each front line, could only be turned into numbers and summarized on the desks of those making the decisions.

…

Blood Shadow Gate Mountain Gate.

Inside a theater.

True Person Xi Lian personally took the stage to sing, with a colorful shadow puppet and paper doll band playing drums and gongs, very lively.

But for the Yang God True Monarchs below, this was just a diversion.

They seemed to enjoy the banquet, but in reality, various divine senses were rapidly intertwined, discussing:

"The Slaughtering Life Cult has unusual movements… There's a 30% chance that reinforcements have come from the Great Zhou!"

"Damn Great Zhou, are the Three Severance Passes and the Great Wall of Defense blind?"

"Hmph, Great Zhou can't wait to exile all heretics here, everyone knows that…"

"What about the 70% possibility?"

The Blood Shadow Gate Ancestor looked like a porcelain doll, with two sky-piercing braids, wearing a large red coat, looking very festive.

Hearing this, she replied: "There is a 70% chance that the Sect Master Nature has joined them… This person is extremely powerful, and I even suspect that he has already advanced to the later stage of the Yang God realm!"

"Impossible…"

An old man wearing a gray beggar's robe and looking chubby shook his head: "The resources of the Extraterritorial Lands are limited. We would be surprised for days if there was one more Yang God True Monarch… Later stage of the Yang God realm? How did he cultivate?"

"And… under the nose of Old Devil Green Wood? Hehe… This old devil is really useless…"

The Hao Yang Sect Sect Master, dressed as a scholar with a jade-like face and majestic appearance, shook his head and said: "Daoist Green Wood's divine powers, apart from preserving his life, don't have many special features. It's no wonder Green Wood Ridge was the first to be driven to the Extraterritorial Lands…"

"Now that Benefactor Green Wood is dead, let's discuss the upcoming battle."

An old monk with a withered appearance, like a piece of dead wood, put his hands together: "We have already cut flesh to feed the eagle and used the incense of the six sects to offer to the Upper God Hall. I wonder if we can summon more Yang God combat power?"

The Upper God Hall Master, dressed like an ancient shaman, with a hoarse voice, said: "The Extraterritorial Lands are too small after all, and the population is too small… The recently accumulated incense wish power can only allow the Third Generation Ancestor to barely move for a while…"

The Upper God Hall is famous for its God Summoning Technique, and is best at summoning various 'gods' to help.

In fact, it is just using various secret methods to preserve the Yang Gods of their own ancestors. The so-called gods are completely gilding their faces.

If this was in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, they would definitely be beaten violently by the Imperial Observatory.

Even, the Yang God thoughts preserved by this secret method cannot be considered resurrection or longevity at all, but rather a kind of 'divine soul refining corpse', and the activation conditions are also very harsh.

Even so, the Upper God Hall has a deep foundation. If given enough faith and incense wish power, it might be able to summon a demigod soul—if someone among its past ancestors could reach such a realm!

"Hehe…"

A Taoist wearing a black feather coat and a Taoist crown shook his head: "My 'Three-Eyed Temple' has been dealing with your Upper God Hall for nearly a thousand years, so I naturally know that your Upper God Hall has a deep foundation. Every time you help people witness covenants, you have to collect incense talisman money… Now, the 'Incense Gold Coins' in the Eight Treasures Merit Wish Pond don't know how much has accumulated. We have been forced to a desperate situation, and even donated ancestral treasures to put together the 'Six Treasures of Pacifying the Heavens'. Hall Master Wu, are you still going to hide your wealth?"

As long as the Shinto has faith and incense, it can continuously accumulate heritage.

Speaking of which, given the antiquity of the Upper God Hall, it would have been a very strange thing for the Flying Sword Gate to be the leader.

Several Yang God True Monarchs exchanged glances and felt that the Upper God Hall was hiding its strength.

"Alas… Incense gold coins are the last capital of our temple. Once too much is used, it will be impossible to maintain the incense spiritual realm, and perhaps even the divine soul Dharma appearance of the ancestor will have the risk of dissipating…"

Hall Master Wu's face was very ugly: "That was the heritage that my Upper God Hall brought out from the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty back then. We didn't dare to use it even when we faced the threat of extinction many times…"

"Do we still have a place to retreat now?"

The porcelain doll-like Blood Shadow Ancestor shouted: "After this battle, my Blood Shadow Gate's territory will be given to your Upper God Hall to preach for a hundred years! Also… I still have several shadow puppet and paper doll combat powers in my hands, which are also the foundation of the sect. This time, I will use them all…"

"Alright, Blood Shadow has already expressed its position, and this old man cannot be stingy."

The beggar-like Yang God True Monarch said: "In this sect, there are several ancient jade talisman treasures. When the time comes, we will launch them together, which should be able to make the enemy flustered…"

"Amitabha… In the Vajra Temple, there are still three hundred golden Arhats who can support this great battle."

The withered old monk put his hands together.

"Since that's the case, this temple also has a heritage left by the ancestor. This old Taoist will bring it along."

The black-feathered Taoist also gritted his teeth: "The Slaughtering Life Cult is not letting us live… As for Hall Master Wu, if several of our sects are destroyed, do you think your family will have a good end?"

Hall Master Wu looked around and knew that everyone had been forced to use their ultimate cards.

And the Blood Shadow Ancestor was not unaware of his intention to squeeze some oil, but he was helpless because most of his territory had been taken down, so he was the most generous.

He sighed: "Since that's the case, my Upper God Hall will not be stingy either… When the time comes, the incense gold coins will be used without regard to cost, enough to awaken another ancestor in the later stage of the Yang God realm… If that Ancestor Nature dares to come, we will definitely give him a surprise."

…

Several months later.

Blood Shadow Gate Mountain Gate.

Fang Xing flew over a valley of paper slaves, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A hundred years ago, he was struggling to survive here.

He didn't expect that more than a hundred years later, he would personally lead troops to flatten this place.

He restrained his mind and came to the front line.

The Blood Shadow Gate relied on a large formation for protection, and there was also a paper house cave and a theater standing outside the formation, presenting a mutual support.

In Fang Xing's view, it was like the outposts and fortresses protruding during a siege…

In cooperation, it can bring more damage to the attacking side.

Fang Xing's eyes were deep, and he saw the densely packed Blood Shadow Gate disciples in the formation, as well as the shadow puppets in the theater, and the layers of paper figures in the paper house cave…

And the enemies of the Slaughtering Life Cult are far more than just the Blood Shadow Gate!

The Slaughtering Life Cult army was also arranged in square formations, the core of which was naturally the five thousand Guardian Warriors.

In addition, there were the Flying Sword Gate and Corpse Driving Sect servants who had been conquered, and the mercenary army composed of loose cultivators…

Once the number of people exceeds ten thousand, it is boundless, and now the Slaughtering Life Cult army seems to be more than tens of thousands?

"Prepare to begin."

Poison Hand Scholar stood on a high platform and gave a faint order.

Rumble!

Siege vehicles were pushed to the front of the formation, and these siege vehicles looked very old, with counterweight catapults on them.

Slaughtering Life Cultists wearing High Priest robes were standing in front of boulders that had been ground into spherical shapes, praying.

"Kill!"

Not only that, but there were also prisoners who were beheaded after their prayers, and incantations were engraved on the giant stone balls with blood.

Fang Xing saw that the siege vehicles and the boulders were emitting a faint spiritual light.

Obviously, after a ritual blessing and blood sacrifice prayer, these siege weapons had become temporary strange objects, which could bring more damage to the formation.

"Fire!"

Along with an order, a large number of catapults roared.

Stone bullets, like meteors, smashed into the Blood Shadow Gate formation and exploded!

Countless terrifying energy and shock waves swept across, making Fang Xing think of 'Meteor Burst'!

The war has begun!
