Chapter 348: The stalemate of the battle

Just as Yan Nannan died, in the main camp of the Ziyin Sect, fifty miles outside the Heavenly Demon City, a gray-bearded old man stumbled into Yan Nantian's tent, shouting in panic: "Sect Master, something is wrong! The Great Elder is dead!"

"What? You said my sister is dead?"

Sitting in the big tent, a burly man sitting on the cushion closed his eyes and breathing after hearing this, he opened his eyes and stood up, then shouted sternly: "Ma Guoqiang! Don't be fooled by others here! There is only one Wunan City in the north of the Han Dynasty. Although there is a large formation of the protection sect in this city, the defenders in the city are only in the foundation-building stage cultivation. Nan Nan and Tiezhu are both Jindan cultivators. Even if they can't fight, there is no danger. How can they die in battle?"

The white-bearded old man was Ma Guoqiang, the second elder of the Zi Yin Sect, who had the peak cultivation level of the early stage of the Jindan period. Needless to say, the burly man was Yan Nantian, the sect leader of the Zi Yin Sect.

Ma Guoqiang said with a sad look: "Sect Master, this matter is absolutely true! As early as three days ago, the order card of the third elder Mu Tiezhu was broken. But because the sect master said that you would study the corpse explosion technique, we should not disturb you. But now the order card of the great elder is also broken. You can't help but notify you!"

"Then take me to the place where you store the order cards of the elders!" Yan Nantian was flawlessly studying the corpse explosion technique again. If there was a problem with the army in the north, then his army would become an isolated army that penetrated the enemy forces and faced the danger of being attacked by the Demon Sect on both sides.

Ma Guoqiang naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately led Yan Nantian to the place where the order card for the seven elders of the Corpse Yin Sect was placed.

Yan Nantian walked to the spirit card and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw that Yan Nannan's token, who was placed first and Mu Tiezhu token, who was placed third, had broken.

He suddenly felt dizzy. His parents died at the hands of the old demon monster that year. Only his sister depended on him for life. Then the brother and sister kept holding on to their strength to take revenge and blood.

In order to gain more spirit stones and elixirs from the Five Poisons Sect to improve their cultivation, they recruit soldiers for the Corpse Yin Sect. In front of the Five Poisons Sect, the brother and sister have put down all their dignity and bowed their knees in extreme humility.

In order to get the Five Poison Sect to agree to make golden elixirs for them to advance to the Golden Pill stage, Yan Nannan even recommended himself to sit on the bed with the deputy leader of the Five Poison Sect, Caiyin, for several nights. The Caiyin Old Demon likes to abuse the beauty the most. The scar on Yan Nannan's face was injured by Caiyin Old Demon.

The two endured so much pain that ordinary people could not bear. They suffered humiliation that others could not imagine, just to one day return to Han, avenge their parents, and revive the Siyin Sect.

But now, seeing that the situation is getting better, the cornerstone of the Tianmo Sect is already shaking. His beloved sister and brother-in-law suddenly died in battle. How can he not be angry and sad?

Just when Yan Nantian was in pain, Ma Guoqiang saw that his eyes were already in confusion, so he quickly grabbed his hand and reminded him: "Sect Master, please beg for the change! The situation in the north must have deteriorated. Should we withdraw our attack on the Demon City first and return to Wunan City first?"

Ma Guoqiang's shout woke Yan Nantian up from his confused mood. He then reacted immediately, and after taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "No! Now we have suppressed the Heavenly Demon Sect to breathe. If we suddenly retreat now, it will definitely give them a chance to breathe. Once Tu Junde takes the opportunity to lead his army to cover up and kill, we may turn from an orderly retreat to a retreat."

After pausing, he continued, "Even if Tu Junde is a suspicious person, he will definitely send someone to investigate and investigate if he doesn't come to the front immediately. With the foundation that Tianmo Sect has accumulated in the Han Kingdom for many years, it will not take long to know the drastic changes in Wunan City. At that time, once they jointly attack the cultivators of Tianmo Sect in Wunan City, we will encounter the previous severe situation of Tianmo Sect, and will be attacked on both sides and fall into a hard battle... But we do not have the strong foundation of Tianmo Sect, and we may be defeated thousands of miles and encounter the crisis of destruction again."

When Ma Guoqiang heard this, he was also shocked. He frowned and asked anxiously: "Sect Master, what should we do now? It is impossible to keep giving a nail behind us to threaten our way of retreat."

After thinking for a while, Fang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect in Wunan City should have just waited for one or two masters with a cultivation level that was enough to overwhelm Nan Nan and Iron Pillar. They could not have too many troops. I guess. They are still unable to move south for the time being. We can still act like a siege to attack the Heavenly Demon City, but we just siege and not attack. Let the enemies of the Heavenly Demon City dare not act rashly. When the enemy has become a frightened bird, quickly raise troops to go north and annihilate the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the north in one fell swoop!"

After hearing this, Ma Guoqiang said in a little puzzled manner: "But, the sect leader, the enemy has many spies outside the city. If our army really wants to go north, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide it from them."

"Haha, don't be afraid. Even if they can really detect our army heading north, I have a way to prevent them from chasing them! Elder Ma, please rest assured!" Yan Nantian had calmed down at this time and returned to his previous calmness and wisdom.

Although Ma Guoqiang was very suspicious of how such a big action could prevent the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect from catching up with him, Xu Junde was not only not an incompetent fool, but also extremely smart. But since Yan Nantian said that, he could only hide his suspicion in his heart and execute the sect leader's instructions without fail.

...

Jiang Chen did not give his subordinates too much rest time. He knew the allusion that "it is better to chase the enemy with the remaining courage, and not seek fame and learn from the overlords."

Therefore, although he and his fellow brothers were exhausted, they still insisted on pursuing the defeated generals of the Ziyin Sect without giving them a chance to breathe.

This pursuit did achieve great results. Most of the foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators who escaped from the last battle of Wunan City were killed in the pursuit, and only a few people escaped. Most of the physical refiners recruited money from the Ziyin Sect. At this moment, most of them fled back to their hometowns, mingled in the markets of various towns, and served as guards in the immortal cultivation family.

After defeating the main force of the Siren Sect in the north, Jiang Chen personally led a large army to kill the Siren Sect's mountain gate.

At this time, Ziyin Mountain had already started the empty city plan. Originally, there was a guardian of the late stage of foundation building, leading more than 30 Qi Refining Cultivators to guard it. He heard that Jiang Chen was just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building and wanted to compete with Jiang Chen indifferently.

But after hearing that Jiang Chen even killed Yan Nannan and Mu Tiezhu, the guardian was immediately frightened. It turned out that there was a large formation of the guardian sect in the Siren Mountain. However, after being attacked by the Tianmo Sect more than a hundred years ago, it had already burned into a Guangshan. This time, the Siren School rebuilt the mountain gate and only symbolically built several houses for people to live in. I never thought that the Tianmo Sect would come back so quickly. There was no defense facility.

After measuring the guardian, he immediately gave up the mountain gate and fled to the central part of the Han Dynasty. On the grounds of reporting military information, he went to the Yan Nantian army that attacked the Tianmo City.

At this point, almost all the northern part of the Han Dynasty were restored, and only a few towns were still under the control of the Siyin Sect, but it was no longer hindered the overall situation.

However, what made Jiang Chen a little strange was that although Yan Nantian knew that the situation in the north had been reversed, he had never sent troops back to rescue, or turned his fingers to attack Wunan City. Instead, he still acted as if he was besieging Tianmo City, making Zilou, Zixi and others dare not act rashly.

However, Yan Nannan's army was wiped out, and the collapse of the entire line of the Ziyin Sect in the northern part of the Han Dynasty was so important that although Yan Nantian tried his best to blockade, with Jiang Chen's efforts, they still broke through their blockade and informed Zi Xi of the changes in the situation in the north.

After receiving this news at first, all the cultivators in the Heavenly Demon City did not believe it. The great elder Zilou and several other elders were skeptical. Only Zixi took a try attitude and took action personally, captured several Foundation Establishment disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect, and then searched the soul to verify the news.

It just so happened that one of these people was Yan Nannan's subordinates, and he finally escaped back to Yan Nantian. He thought he could breathe for a few days, but he didn't expect to fall into Zi Xi's hands again.

After Zixi learned about the whole story of the matter, she was overjoyed and quickly notified Tu Junde and Zilou.

After hearing this, the two felt like they had a treasure, so they actively prepared for a counterattack.

At this moment, the scout reported another important news that the army of the Corpse Yin Sect outside the Heavenly Demon City had begun to pack up and showed signs of departing.

In this way, the three of them believed in this matter.

So, when the army of the Ziyin Sect retreated, they launched several consecutive assaults in an attempt to severely damage the enemy.

But what they didn't expect was that Yan Nantian had already set up many ambush on the road. In these few pursuits, not only did they not seriously damage the army of the Zi Yin Sect, but instead got ambushed and suffered heavy losses. They had to retreat back to the Heavenly Demon City.

Not long after, the scout reported that only a small part of the army of the Yin Sect was still stationed outside the city, and the main force had begun to retreat.

At this time, Zilou did not dare to order a pursuit again. Only Zixi suggested that another attack could be launched. She believed that the Ziyin Sect should really plan to retreat at this time.

However, her opinion was not approved by most elders.

As a result, outside the Tianmo City, the troops of the Tianmo Sect and the Ziyin Sect also fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who had just pacified the mountain gate of the Siyin Sect, did not hurriedly lead his army south, but returned to Wunan City and ordered the troops to start resting and recuperation and restore the normal trading order in Wunan City. He planned to accumulate strength and wait for another battle. (To be continued.)
