He Chuan carefully observed the formation and could not help but sigh in his heart. The person who set up this formation regardless of whether it was his cultivation or his attainments about formation, was definitely not bad.
If he were not a saint cultivator, he definitely would not be able to sense the fluctuations of the formation.
It seemed that he really should not underestimate the people in this world. Even the nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun probably did not have this ability.
If he didn’t reach the level of a saint cultivator, he definitely wouldn’t be able to set this formation.
He used the Divine Eye to continue observing the situation around the capital.
All of a sudden, he felt a powerful aura. It seemed to be from the direction outside the city. The Divine Eye continued to observe.
A group of experts gathered outside the city.
The small-scale army formed by experts was very fierce. Tens of thousands of troops were wiped out just like that.
Of course, regardless of whether it was the Imperial court’s experts or the martial arts’ world experts, they were all judged based on their strength.
There were strong and weak people.
However, to assemble a talented army, they would definitely be composed of experts above Xiantian third stage. In addition, there would be a small number of Houtian eighth to ninth-stage martial artists.
The army with bigger power was all composed of Xiantian experts.
They would undoubtedly be the nightmare of an ordinary army.
If they were all Xiantian fifth-stage and above experts, they would be invincible. They would indeed be everyone’s nightmare.
At the peak of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were all Xiantian fifth-stage expert teams.
Because of this powerful talented army, the Great Zhou Dynasty successfully unified the world.
In these few years, the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongchun announced that he was in closed-door cultivation. Only then did the factions in the martial arts world raise their heads again and secretly accumulate their strength to form a talented army.
A single or two sect’s group of experts would not be able to contend with the Imperial Court. However, when the seven great sects were added together, their strength was already above that of the current Great Zhou Dynasty.
A starving camel was bigger than a horse. In the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had fought openly and secretly. It was already not easy for them to maintain their current situation.
The group of experts that the Imperial Court had formed were mostly eunuchs from the palace. They had benefited from the group of people that nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun had nurtured back then.
This could be considered indirectly laying the foundation for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Back then, Wei Zhengchun defeated the seven great sect masters by himself. He had relied on his strength and the powerful evolved Jing Masters.
The Alliance Army in and outside the capital continued to gather, and a great battle was about to break out.
Zhou Shimin stood on the city wall, wearing bright armor, looking at the Alliance Army in the distance.
A few Xiantian ninth-stage experts protected him.
The 100,000 Imperial Guards could still put enough pressure to the outside world. After all, they were the elite troops that the imperial family selected.
No matter how powerful the experts army were, it was impossible to kill them all.
Hence, the current war still needed soldiers to participate.
With hundreds of thousands of troops fighting head-on, even the grandmaster troops would not be able to win.
When Zhou Shimin saw the elite army that the seven major sects were gathering outside the city, his gaze did not change.
“Generals, received my order. I will defend the capital with you. The city is where the people are!”
When the soldiers heard these words, their morale rose once again.
A few powerful old eunuchs protected Zhou Shimin tightly.
This was because, in the upcoming battle, Xiantian realm experts were joining in. They had to protect the Emperor well.
“Everyone, listen up and attack! Take the stupid King’s head!”
The Alliance Army gave the order to attack. Instantly, the sound of war drums shook the sky.
The Vanguard Army raised their shield array and slowly moved towards the Meridian Gate.
Like a huge wave, they wanted to overturn the capital.
The commander of the Imperial Army, Qin Yuntian, stood beside Zhou Shimin. He was also a XIantian cultivator and was unquestionably loyal to the Imperial Family.
At the same time, he was an important aid to Zhou Shimin.
“Your Majesty, swords and sabers have no eyes. I think you should retreat to the back. No one could bear the consequences if anything were to happen to you.” Qin Yuntian held his spear and stared at the moving Alliance Army with a determined gaze.
The distance was still quite far, so there was no need to waste energy.
Once they were within the range of the archers’ attacks, he would give them a vicious blow.
“I am the chosen one. Why would I be afraid of the might of swords and sabers? Furthermore, the soldiers of the three armies are fighting their lives on the frontlines. How can I retreat?” Zhou Shimin’s tone was very firm. It was impossible for him to retreat.
If not, the Imperial Court’s Army would lose their backbone and morale. They would definitely lose this battle.
Qin Yuntian knew that persuasion was useless. He could only let the few eunuchs protect Zhou Shimin.
“Commander Qin, don’t worry. Whoever wants to hurt His Majesty will have to step on my corpse!” An old eunuch ninth-grade eunuch said with an imposing manner.
Since ancient times, eunuchs had always been the most loyal.
Whether they were greedy for wealth or power, they relied on the foundation of Imperial Power. If the Emperor fell, they, the eunuchs, would have no one to rely on.
They were originally rootless people, so it was even more impossible for them to become the Emperor.
No one in the world would agree. Therefore, no matter how powerful the eunuchs were, they would at most have the position of nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun.
Moreover, every time the dynasty changed, the eunuchs in the palace would basically be changed.
The eunuchs of the previous dynasty would either flee or accompany the Emperor to his death. They had no other choice.
As the Alliance Vanguard Army began to attack the city, the experts formed by the seven major sects held all sorts of weapons and were prepared to charge into the battlefield at any time to help the Alliance Army take down the city wall.
“Archers, get ready!” Qin Yuntian pointed his spear diagonally into the sky.
Tens of thousands of archers drew their bows and nocked their arrows in unison. The scene was extremely shocking.
“Release the arrows!” As Qin Yuntian’s spear slid down fiercely, a rain of arrows whistled through the sky and instantly arrived above the Coalition army.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields.
However, the rain of arrows was too dense. A small number of arrows penetrated the gaps and landed on the Alliance Army soldiers.
As the Alliance Army soldiers fell, his position immediately revealed a flaw. Before the others could fill in, the dense rain of arrows pierced through the flaw.
The Alliance Army soldier who fell first was immediately shot like a hedgehog.
He didn’t even have the time to make a sound.
War was always very bitter, and victory was achieved by countless skeletons facing each other.
No matter how powerful the rain of arrows was, it still unable to stop the Alliance Army from advancing.
At this time, the elite team formed by the seven major sects took advantage of the gap and started to move.
They bent their backs and ran on the ground. They were as fast as arrows leaving the bow, making it difficult for them to track their movements.
Even if occasional arrows were shot to their sides, they would still be easily repelled by them. This was the effect of grandmasters on the battle situation.
“Hmph!” An old eunuch’s gaze turned cold. He grabbed the bow and arrow of a soldier beside him and shoot.
Whoosh!
The arrows shot out like shooting stars, shooting toward the Xiantian realm warriors of the seven great sects at the front.
This move was called striking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
When the warriors of the seven great sects who were running wildly on the battlefield heard the sound of the air being torn apart, their faces immediately changed, and they hurriedly dodged to the side.
Unfortunately, they were still one step too late.
The arrows shot out by the Xiantian realm ninth-stage experts instantly pierced through his shoulder.
Although his life was not in danger, he had already lost his fighting strength.
Unable to take his opponent’s life, Zhou Shiming waved his fist.
Unfortunately, this group of Xiantian ninth-stage experts couldn’t expand their true energy on archery because they still had to prevent the other party from attacking the city.
The group of elites formed by the seven major sects moved faster and faster, and soon surpassed the soldiers of the Alliance Army. They carried a cold killing intent as they headed toward the city wall.
The real battle was about to begin!
