The Fallen Immortal Dynasty and the White Tiger Pavilion, seizing the momentum, once again gathered five million troops and plunged into the Xuanwu Hall battlefield.
Yun Yi, who was stationed within the human realm's immortal sects and temporarily served as the Human Ancestor, was further enraged upon hearing the news. Upon careful analysis, he found the actions of the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty's army to be quite strange, with the Jiangzuo family's four clans lurking behind them. However, lacking sufficient evidence, he could not easily issue a decree, and could only pressure the Ye family to continue dispatching troops to rescue Xuanwu Hall.
The Ye family, helpless and solely focused on the Human Celebration, dispatched one million troops to reinforce Xuanwu Hall to appease Yun Yi, but none of their high-ranking officials appeared.
At this time, the Central Plains region was engulfed in war. Whether on land, in the void, or within the nothingness, battlefields of the Central Plains' eight great families were everywhere, in a stalemate.
The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for the Wang, Zhan, Jian, and Gu families. They were compelled to seek aid from Yun Yi again. In utter desperation, Yun Yi left behind a decree and a clone to continue suppressing the immortal sects, while his true body, accompanied by three black-robed elders and three thousand white-armored soldiers, departed the immortal sects and charged into the Central Plains battlefield.
With Yun Yi's intervention, the great war in the Central Plains began to shift towards the void.
February 10th, fortieth year of the Great Han Dynasty.
In the Dao Celestial Palace within the imperial palace of the Great Han Divine Dynasty's capital, Chang'an, in the Western Frontier.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for occupying the northern gate of the Azure Dragon Palace. The Xuanwu Legion has annihilated the west of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, and Li Siyi has annihilated the north of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, earning four hundred million kill points!"
"Divine Emperor, a military report from the Xuanwu Legion states that Commander Xian Zhen and his three armies have completed the encirclement of the western territories of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty. A million troops are advancing towards the Blackwater Palace. Within five days, the Blackwater Palace will be encircled, and within ten days, the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty will be annihilated!"
Du Ruhui, the Minister of War, reported respectfully.
"Divine Emperor, Imperial Consort Yun's urgent plea states that Commander Geng Yan and his million troops have advanced into the ancestral lands of the Azure Dragon Palace. The Azure Dragon Palace battlefield is at a critical juncture. Geng Yan, Deng Qiang, and Zhang Hao cannot be easily moved. However, the Xuanwu Hall battlefield is in crisis, presenting the best opportunity for our Great Han Divine Dynasty to officially enter the Xuanwu Hall battlefield. Therefore, we implore the Divine Emperor to dispatch two generals to the Yun clan to lead the armies in participating in the Xuanwu campaign!"
Prime Minister Li Si said with a solemn expression.
"Divine Emperor, a secret report from the East Remote Embroidered Uniform Guard states that the battle at Xuanwu Hall, where the Xuanwu Hall, Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, and Human Realm allied forces suffered a great defeat, has many peculiar aspects and raises numerous doubts. According to reports, when the armies of the White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty were encircling and annihilating the armies of Xuanwu Hall and the Human Realm, the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty's army loitered nearby. While the two armies were locked in a bloody battle, the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty's army continued to linger. It was only when the battle was nearing its end that the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty's army pressed towards the edge of the battlefield!"
"In a single encounter, they directly turned and headed towards the ancestral lands of Xuanwu Hall, which resulted in the tragic slaughter of many soldiers from Xuanwu Hall and the Human Realm. The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Mao Xiang, speculates that the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty has already defected to the four clans of the Hong family, using the Xuanwu Hall battlefield as a setup to continuously weaken the strength of the Human Realm and Xuanwu Hall, and perhaps even coveting the position of the Human Co-Lord!"
Changsun Wuji produced a memorial, bearing the great seal of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and handed it to Wei Zhongxian.
In a mere five to six days, the three thousand Daozhou plane experienced turbulent changes, with the situation constantly reversing. Xuanwu Hall, which had barely held on, was sent to its coffin by a single great battle.
"Where has the Crown Prince reached at this time?"
Yang Hao, flipping through the memorial from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which detailed the specifics of the Xuanwu Hall battle, found the numerous doubts to be indicative of the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty's intentions.
It could be said that the great defeat of Xuanwu Hall and the Human Realm this time was orchestrated by the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, directly sending the two armies to the blades of the White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty.
"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, the Crown Prince has reached the Yan Province."
Wei Zhongxian, standing beside him, replied respectfully. Su Dan Novel Network.
"The Eastern Remote battlefield is crucial to our Great Han's entire strategy; a single move affects the whole. It must be taken seriously!"
As he spoke, Yang Hao stood up and looked at Li Si: "Order Liang Lin and Liang Fang to return to the court immediately and proceed to the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty to assist in the East Remote campaign!"
"Order Ma Yuan and Yang Ye to proceed to Yan Province to protect the Crown Prince!"
"As for the Southern Marsh Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, continue to let Xian Zhen handle it entirely. What I want is steady progress, to sweep away the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty within ten days and advance towards the Fallen Immortal Dynasty!"
"Regarding the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, what are your thoughts?"
"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, there are many peculiar aspects to this matter, and numerous doubts arise. It is far from the Western Frontier, and there is nowhere to investigate. However, I believe that the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty has reasons to weaken and suppress Xuanwu Hall and the Human Realm."
"Currently, the Human Celebration is progressing and will commence soon. The Human Celebration concerns the position of the Human Co-Lord and the rule of over six hundred Daozhou in the Northern You. The Yun clan, with the assistance of our Great Han, is rising. The Human Realm has inherited many legacies of the Immortal Lord, and recently we heard that the thirty-sixth generation Supreme Elder of the Ye family in the Human Realm has not perished. This situation is unfavorable to the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty. Regarding defecting to the four clans of the Hong family, it is possible, but there is no conclusive evidence!"
Li Si slowly stated, "Although there is no evidence, the possibility of defecting to the four clans of the Hong family cannot be ruled out. I believe it is appropriate for our Great Han's northeastern border to strengthen its defenses!"
"This minister seconds the motion!"
"This minister seconds the motion!"
"This minister seconds the motion!"
...
"Two fists are no match for four hands; a tall tree attracts the wind. At this time, we must prioritize the Eastern Remote and Southern Marsh. We must grasp both firmly. Prime Minister and all departments, you must constantly monitor the Southern Marsh and Eastern Remote battlefields, seize favorable opportunities, and facilitate our Great Han soldiers to break through!"
"Li Siyi, leading one hundred thousand soldiers, continues to advance eastward. There are many cities, and the affairs are heavy, and it is close to the Central Plains. Your ministries of war, personnel, and works must be closely coordinated to avoid any mistakes!"
Yang Hao, as he spoke, penned several imperial edicts and handed them to Li Si, then spoke again: "Order Imperial Consort Yun to mobilize the available troops of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty to advance towards the territory of Vermilion Bird City. Vermilion Bird City suffered greatly in the Battle of Undying City, with top powers annihilated. The Yun clan's troops can occupy over a hundred Daozhou territories without much effort. Begin implementation!"
"Your servants obey the decree!"
...
"The Immortal Emperor has decreed that Liang Fang is to be conferred the title of Invincible General of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, and Liang Lin is to be conferred the title of Flying Tiger General of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, both holding the rank of First Grade. Liang Lin is hereby ordered to lead one million troops to join the Xuanwu Hall battlefield!"
In the imperial palace of Yunchi City, Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, Northern You.
With Yun Shan's decree, from the nobles and officials in Yunchi City to the common folk, all were shocked.
Although the incident with Geng Yan had previously made them extremely angry that the reigning Immortal Emperor did not recognize talent, now, with the Azure Dragon Palace on the verge of destruction, Geng Yan, who had previously been the target of their decrees, had become a hero in their hearts.
They had barely recovered from that shock when another decree came from the palace, announcing Liang Lin and Liang Fang, two names they had never heard before, entering the streets and alleys of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty.
Everyone was stunned, beginning to question if these two could be compared to the Grand Marshal.
