The person who came was actually not a half-step saint cultivator.
It was He Chuan who wanted to solve the problem. He was prepared to persuade the other party to stop and not disturb his peaceful life.
He put on the silver mask again and walked directly toward the Alliance Army’s camp.
“Who dares to break into the camp? Quickly retreat, or else we will kill without mercy!” A few soldiers on sentry duty unsheathed their swords and shouted sternly.
Not far away, there were soldiers armed with bows and arrows as long as He Chuan dared to move forward.
He would be attacked from all directions.
But did he care?
He Chuan acted as if he did not hear the warning and continued to swagger forward. He did not care about the danger at all.
“Kill without mercy!” A sergeant gave the order.
The Archer immediately aimed at He Chuan and released his fingers.
Whoosh!
Countless arrows shot toward He Chuan.
Faced with such a dense rain of arrows, even a Xiantian realm expert had to retreat.
“Interesting!” He Chuan did not stop and directly walked forward.
The rain of arrows was about three feet away from him, but it was as if they had hit a barrier and were all repelled.
When the soldiers of the Allied army saw this unbelievable scene, they all retreated in unison.
“He’s actually Xiantian ninth-stage. Hurry up and go back and report!” The sergeant had some experience and knew that He Chuan was not someone they could resist.
They had to get the experts of the seven major sects to help.
This kind of protective energy was definitely a Xiantian ninth-stage expert. Otherwise, it would not be so powerful that it could deflect all the arrows.
The person in front of them was definitely not one of their own, so he must be an expert sent by the Imperial Court.
A cloud-piercing arrow exploded in the night sky.
The soldiers of the Alliance Army were fully armed and charged toward He Chuan with weapons in their hands.
In the battle between the two armies, be it the Alliance Army or the Imperial Court Army, they would not let down their guard and basically maintained their combat state.
Their weapons and armor would not leave their bodies easily.
Hence, the Alliance Army moved very quickly. In less than 15 minutes, they had surrounded He Chuan.
Faced with such a situation, He Chuan’s expression did not change at all. He had already swaggered forward.
No matter how many arrows came at him, they were all useless. They were all deflected back.The deflected arrows even injured some unlucky peoples.
“Everyone listen up! Kill!” The left Commander of the Alliance Army rushed over and gave the order.
When the Alliance Army soldiers heard the order, they waved their weapons and attacked He Chuan crazily.
Regardless of whether He Chuan was a grandmaster or a half-step saint cultivator, the military order was as heavy as a mountain!
The soldiers carried out orders as their duty, and they had to face He Chuan head-on.
He Chuan put his hands behind his back, and the protective barrier gradually expanded.
All the soldiers could not get close.
It was as if an invisible force pushed them away. They could not get close, let alone hurt the other party.
He Chuan walked forward while the surrounding soldiers retreated.
He was at ease as if he was strolling in his own yard.
From start to finish, he had his hands behind his back, treating the thousands of soldiers and horses as if they were nothing.
The left Sima in the army was also a Xiantian level expert. When he saw the mysterious person pass through the encirclement so easily, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
With such strength, he was definitely not at Xiantian ninth-stage expert. He was probably already a half-step saint cultivator.
It was not something they could deal with.
Not only did the cloud-piercing arrow inform the Alliance Army, but even the Imperial Court’s Army realized that something was wrong.
At first, they thought it was a night attack. Zhou Shimin and a few eunuchs rushed to the city wall to help, but the Alliance Army did not attack. Zhou Shimin was a little confused.
The fire on the Alliance Army’s side soared into the sky, and he could vaguely see the enemy moving.
However, they were in the Alliance Army’s headquarters.
“What exactly is going on?” Zhou Shimin was somewhat confused.
“I’m not sure either. However, I have already sent out scouts to investigate. There should be news soon.” Qin Yuntian was a qualified General. He was very decisive when encountering trouble.
Soon, the scouts brought back news.
The news shocked Zhou Shimin greatly.
“A mysterious expert barged into the Alliance Army’s camp alone? Furthermore, the Alliance Army’s soldiers are completely unable to stop him?”
Someone gave him a pillow when he was dozing off?
A mysterious expert suddenly went to cause trouble for the Alliance Army?
Hundreds of thousands of alliance soldiers, experts from the seven major sects, and four half-step martial saints were present.
Who would dare to barge in so easily?
Unless it was the nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun.
Zhou Shiming was very clear in his heart that this great eunuch had already fallen. Then who was it?
“Your Majesty, do you think it was the mysterious expert from last time?” An old eunuch suddenly recalled the expert who had suddenly appeared on the day Zhou Shiming was poisoned.
The old eunuch was at the scene at that time. If there was a possibility, it would be that person.
After being reminded, Zhou Shiming also suddenly recalled what had happened a while ago.
However, whether that mysterious expert could deal with four half-step saint cultivators was still unknown.
“General Qin, immediately reorganize the Army and wait for my orders!” Zhou Shimin said.
Qin Yuntian was familiar with military tactics. He naturally knew that the current situation was advantageous to the Imperial Court. They could take advantage of the chaos in the Alliance Army to suddenly attack the enemy’s camp.
“Is the item ready?! Whether it can deal with a half-step saint cultivator depends on that item!” Zhou Shimin stood on the city wall and looked at the chaotic camp of the Alliance Army.
“Your Majesty, it’s ready over there. We’re just waiting for your order. You can use it at any time,” The old eunuch said respectfully.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had a weapon that could counter a half-step saint cultivator. It was very powerful.
Zhou Shiming did not want to use it unless it was a critical moment.
He had no choice but to use it now.
However, it was just an item. Whether or not it could succeed was still unknown.
There was a chance of failure.
Zhou Shimin had never used it before, so he did not have the confidence.
Moreover, this thing required a very powerful energy, and it required the lives of dozens of Xiantian ninth-stage experts to activate.
In other words, even if it succeeded, the Imperial Court would have to pay a huge price.
That was why Zhou Shimin was so cautious.
If he could use the lives of these Xiantian ninth-stage experts to exchange for the lives of four half-step saint cultivators, it would definitely be worth it.
“It’s been tough on all of you. You are so loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the end, you have to sacrifice your lives. I can’t bear it!” Zhou Shiming wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
As a qualified Emperor, he naturally knew how to buy people’s hearts.
If one wanted Xiantian ninth-stage expert to willingly die, they had to put on a bitter act.
“I have followed the late Emperor for decades and followed His Majesty for so many years. It’s time for me to continue serving the late Emperor.” The most senior eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground. He was already prepared to die.
To be able to make the Emperor shed tears for them, this life was worth it.
“Eunuch Wang, quickly get up! You have accompanied me for so many years. How can I not know your loyalty? Please rest assured. I will order people to find a few dolls to pass on to you. It will not be to the extent of cutting off the incense!”
Zhou Shimin immediately went with the flow.
He knew what these eunuchs’ greatest wish was.
It was definitely impossible for them to birth a grandchild, but as the Emperor, there was no problem for him to help the deceased eunuchs pass on their adopted children to the genealogy.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
When the eunuchs who were ready to die heard that there was hope, they immediately became fearless of life and death.
The family had a descendant, so they would have the face to meet their ancestors when they went down.
