At this moment, Xuanyuan Tong was also looking around.

“Roughly 3.7 million and they are all martial master level troops. Who knew that the cities of the east would have such strength…”

Looking around, they could only see hundreds of thousands of the enemy. However Xuanyuan Tong was experienced, and he could sense the situation around the entire area.

Above and below Mysterious Cloud Mountain, the geography was flat. It was basically frozen ground and large armies could be spread out.

However, the commanders of the Thousand City Alliance did not gather all of their millions of troops together, and instead lined them up in layers, showing no weakness at all. The force covered the hill so closely that even water would not be able to make its way through.

This was especially true of the area in front of Mysterious Cloud Mountain where the troops went from three hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand. They were obviously wary due to the arrival of Seven Spirit Sect and Kongqi Sect.

Looking this arrangement, even Xuanyuan Tong was a little impressed. “This commander is a good general…”

Zong Shou nodded, his expression slightly more solemn. The number of enemy troops were a little more than he guessed.

However even then, this could not even be considered a small problem.

The seventy thousand cavalry behind him had mostly woken up, and their stamina was mostly recovered.

Actually long before he had come here, the cavalry had already rested once. They had been waiting here to give Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect a chance to gather up the surrounding troops.

Taking a deep breath, Zong Shou looked around, only to see their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation. First he smiled, following which he said seriously, “Mingdou and Liehe, please lay out the formation!”

He bowed towards Tianqi. “I know your Kongqi Sect has many spirit masters, please replace them to help cover the Blood Cloud Cavalry!”

The moment his voice landed, Mingdou and Liehe were pumped up, their eyes showing a cold glow. The former first took out a light gold colored tray with ten different spiritual items, all of which were magical treasure grade.

The two of them began to activate the golden tray, and moments later, a layer of spiritual light shone from the item.

At this moment Tianqi burst into a laugh. “Do I dare to not follow?”

Instantly he took over, personally casting the spell to cover the four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry in black mist.

That golden tray became brighter and brighter, and then the ten treasures flew up and circled a thousand feet around. Mingdou and Liehe were brought along, into the air.

Right as the two of them hung in mid-air, a few hundred sword lights descended from the sky.

Zong Shou looked out, only to see three hundred people on flying swords, dressed in scholarly attire.

The one in front was fat. Zong Shou recognised him right away. Wasn’t that Jin Buhui, the golden fatty? After this person there were hundreds of cultivators, all of them filled with a righteous aura. On each of their heads, there was two to three feet of spiritual light. This was a spiritual sign of someone who was well-read.

Zong Shou was totally stunned, his heart filled with tens of thousands of questions. Why was Jin Buhui here at this moment?

When Jin Buhui landed in front of him, Zong Shou uncourteously asked, “What are you here for? Don’t you know how dangerous this battle is?”

“I’m here because I know how dangerous it is!”

Jin Buhui smiled as he touched his nose, feeling a little ashamed. “I asked master and he wasn’t willing. I only could bring this small number of people to repay my debt. At the crucial moment we should be able to slaughter our way out! I, Jin Buhui, see you as a brother. Since you are my brother, we must share our problems and die together!”

Zong Shou was startled. The people followed Jin Buhui, their faces were ashen white, and their eyes were filled with helplessness.

Who knew what these Haoxuan Sect disciples owed Jin Buhui to actually be forced by this fellow to come to his dangerous land.

He couldn’t help but feel warm inside. Seven Spirit Sect and Kongqi Sect only stood at his side because they knew that he would win.

Jin Buhui came because he really treated him as a friend, and wanted to save him. How was he going to repay this act of brotherhood?

Moments later a heaven-shaking laugh broke out. “Speaking of friends.h.i.+p, how can you not include this Leidong? Since even the golden fatty that loves money like his life is here, if I don’t come, wouldn’t I be laughed at by others?”

The moment these words landed, a body descended from the sky. It was Leidong. Behind him was a weapon. A giant sword, near ten feet long.

There were hundreds of people behind him who smiled at Zong Shou.

“I, Leidong, am similar to the golden fatty and brought a few people. I am here to die with you! That day we made a pact to live and die together, to take blessings and calamities together. Your Brother is not capable enough, and can’t help you win this. Let’s see if we can help you kill your way out.”

Zong Shou was numb, and then he laughed out loud, “Good! What a great way to die together. It is my good fortune to have you two as friends!”

The moment those words were said, a layer of light spread out from above, with Mingdou and Liehe at the core seventy thousand feet above. In that instant, it covered the land a hundred miles around.

Those ten magical treasures were spread out until they were dozens of miles out, still circling the pale golden tray, totally locking down this region.

Ling Xueyun and Hu Ruodong stepped into the air, helping to protect Mingdou and Liehe.

Leidong was stunned as he looked up, following which he thought of something, and his expression changed.

“…Mingdou Liehe, this is Fuling Sect’s Pinnacle s.p.a.ce Dome Formation!”

Jin Buhui finally remembered what the light was, and his expression changed.

“Zong Shou, are you crazy? Fuling Sect’s Pinnacle s.p.a.ce Dome was never even completed. The moment this formation was laid out, for one day, no one can leave this place!”

Zong Shou laughed. That was exactly what he wanted. In the next twenty-four hours, no one would even be able to think about leaving!

The Blood Cloud Iron Cavalry would use these four million living spirits as a sacrifice!

※※※※

“Pinnacle s.p.a.ce Dome Formation? Is this Zong Shou crazy?”

In the same instant, at the peak of Mysterious Cloud Mountain, someone made a similar exclamation.

The one who spoke was Daoming Sect’s Wuyue. His eyes were filled with seriousness. “He knows he is in danger but dares to use the formation to lock down the battlefield. What is he attempting?”

He spoke, deep in thought, “Seven Spirit Sect, Kongqi Sect, along with Haoxuan Sect and Wulie Villa. There are already four sects. Aren’t they worried that Zong Shou will lose?”

Yuankong’s expression was unchanged, but regret appeared in his eyes.

He didn’t show anything on his face but his heart was, just as Zhao Yanran had mentioned, totally filled with regret.

Just hearing Wuyue’s words, he knew that this person felt like retreating.

He was also the same. Before the war had even begun, he was already starting to regret his choice to stay.

They originally want to eat meat, but who knew that they had bitten a peach core that would cause their teeth to fall out.

Since seventy thousand cavalrymen had arrived beneath the mountain, there had been too many surprises.

… Seven Spirit Sect, Kongqi Sect, Haoxuan Sect Jin Buhui, Wujue Villa Leidong.

Each new arrival made him feel a little shocked.

Actually, his Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect had already lost today. No matter the result, they would suffer heavy losses.

However the matter had reached such a stage, they were unable to get off the tiger they were riding, and had to fight. The Cloud Sect’s members who had come over were all nearby, watching the situation.

To back out now would cause Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect to lose face entirely!

He could not help but look at Han Nishui, who was behind the many sect leaders, only to see that his direct disciple’s face was dark. He was not excited, but instead looked worried. As expected from his choice for future sect leader, he had probably thought through the pros and cons.

“This is the so-called ‘back against the water, going all out,’ there is no need to worry!”

Within the hall, Ling Weizi’s expression was really calm. “Gantian Mountain had the ability to ask the Seven Spirit Sect to help, that is really unexpected. However, didn’t we gather the four million elites of Thousand City Alliance and a thousand-odd grade-6 Dao soldiers for that reason?”

This one sentence caused the uneasy people in the hall to calm down once more.

That made sense. Of grade-6 Dao soldiers alone, there were twelve hundred people.

During this battle, even if the enemy had Seven Spirit Sect and Kongqi Sect helping, what did they have to fear? Could Zong Shou turn defeat into victory?

With so many Dao soldiers, everything would be smashed into dust!

“Those words were a little extreme. Looking at the two sects, although we have the majority, we still need to worry about those four hundred Mysterious Dragon Warriors!”

“With the Mysterious Cloud Mountain formation to help, we have the advantage!”

Although Ling Weizi didn’t bother paying attention to the discussion below, he looked towards Yuankong. “No matter what Brother feels, during this battle we need to go all out. If we lose, I am afraid no one will be able to save your Mysterious Cloud…”

Yuankong kept silent. He knew about the interests within that statement.

Following which, Ling Weizi turned towards Wuyue. “Brother Wuyue, at the moment this place is locked up. For the next twenty-four hours, we can’t retreat. We can only win this battle. If we retreat due to fear of losses, if Zong Shou gets stronger and tries to search Daoming Sect to take revenge, what would happen?

Wuyue gave an awkward smile and nodded. “Don’t worry, Daoming Sect will go all out!”

Ling Weizi nodded slightly. As long as the three large sects worked together, why would they need to worry about not winning? Although the Seven Spirit Sect was strong, compared with Lingyun Sect, it could not compete with the combined strength of the second and third-ranked spiritual houses.

“Then let’s begin! In my opinion we should use the various city forces to reduce their combat strength and then crush them all…”

Coincidentally, a sword light sped in from the horizon through the light barrier that had not completed lock-down, entering the hall in the mountain peak.

Ling Weizi took it in his hand. He then smiled. “What a coincidence, Senior Brother also agreed. The Tailing Sect has connections with my sect. They said that if Seven Spirit Sect is wiped out, Tailing Sect will bear all the consequences!”

The atmosphere of the entire hall relaxed. Moments later the million troops below moved. Amongst the rumbling, the cavalry surrounded in the middle broke out.

A heaven-deafening battlecry rose up into the sky.
