Heading to the Tianhe Continent were not only Jun Changxiao but also the Tianyuan Soul Suppression Tower and core disciples like Li Qingyang.
Destroying the Star Fortress was dangerous, so he hadn’t brought disciples along. But this time, going to help another realm, he could naturally use the opportunity for training.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Su Xiaomo said excitedly, “I’m a bit thrilled!”
“Me too!” Li Fei clenched his fists, “I feel like my blood is boiling!”
“Stay calm.”
Li Qingyang said with his eyes closed.
To talk about true calm, it had to be Lu Qianqian.
She stood on the deck, her cold face and clear eyes showing no emotional fluctuation, only occasionally glancing toward Jun Changxiao at the bow, when a slight ripple would appear.
This man had not only built the sect into the strongest on the Xingyun Continent—now he was truly going to conquer the sea of stars!
“Hmph.”
Ye Xingchen, leaning against the cabin entrance, snorted coldly, completely devoid of the wretched appearance from when he was carried out of the prison by Zhao Doudou earlier.
Long Ziyang, Li Shangtian, and the others were sharpening their weapons in their own cabins, waiting to reach the unfamiliar world and embark on an exciting journey of slaughter!
Of course.
Jun Changxiao wouldn’t let his disciples go head-to-head with overly powerful martial artists, so when dealing with Jiuquan Continent, he would definitely rely more on the Tianyuan Soul Suppression Tower.
After this supreme treasure was modified, when placed in the Eternal Sect it was the Prison Suppression Tower, serving as a prison. Once brought out, it became the Soul Suppression Tower, which could not only be used for defense and suppression but could also summon large numbers of prisoners!
“I’m already getting a bit impatient!” Jun Changxiao said.
When one realm invaded another, it was absolutely large-scale with grand scenes. Releasing all the prisoners from the tower—the picture would be beautiful as a painting.
Moreover!
This was righteous heroism.
The twelve wardens would definitely recognize him because of this.
“Ptui!”
The system spat, “You took their spirit stones—how dare you call it righteous heroism!”
…
Tianhe Continent.
In terms of overall strength, it was weaker than Jiuquan Continent but far stronger than Xingyun Continent.
However, this second-tier realm was currently riddled with war and devastation.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Sounds like cannon bombardment rang out above a city of extremely high specifications. The defensive barrier hidden in the void gradually became visible.
Half of the thousands of formation masters inside the city responsible for maintaining the array were blown away, with reserves filling in behind them.
The city they were protecting was called Tianying City, the second-largest city on the Tianhe Continent. If it fell, more than half the realm’s territory would be completely lost.
So even with a million troops on the opposite side and powerful siege weapons, the defenders inside the city all wore expressions of determination to die, without the slightest retreat.
“Load ammunition!”
A thousand zhang away outside the city, a general in pitch-black armor shouted.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Hundreds of soldiers carried heavy spheres and installed them one by one on catapults, beginning to adjust and calibrate.
This was a siege weapon created by Jiuquan Continent specifically for invading other realms. It was driven by formations and used crystal cores as bombs, producing extremely powerful explosive force.
Tianhe Continent had already lost more than twenty large cities, all without exception blasted open by this thing.
“Quickly!”
“Maintain the formation!”
The Tianying City defensive general shouted.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
Thousands of formation masters released their spiritual power simultaneously, once again reinforcing the tottering city defense array.
Although they knew they might not withstand the continuous bombardment, their homes and people were behind them. At this moment, they had to stand up and fight desperately!
“Fire!”
The Jiuquan Continent general shouted.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
In an instant, over a hundred crystal core bombs containing extreme power were launched. Upon colliding with the city defense barrier, they produced earth-shaking explosive sounds!
When everything calmed down, the defensive barrier had developed cracks, and more than half the formation masters maintaining it had been injured by the shock.
“General!”
The deputy general standing on the city tower said painfully, “The city defense array probably can’t hold much longer. Why not charge out and fight them to the death!”
“I agree!”
“Since we can’t reverse this, kill one to break even!”
The Tianhe Continent experts standing nearby, mostly at the Half-Saint and Martial Saint realms, all expressed agreement.
Normally, when realms went to war, they would limit cultivation levels—for instance, on Xingyun Continent, those above Martial King weren’t permitted to fight.
Tianhe Continent also had regulations, but only internally. Now that Jiuquan Continent had come as invaders with various Martial Emperor and Martial Saint experts in tow, such cultivation restrictions naturally didn’t exist.
“No!”
The defending general said in a deep voice, “We can only choose to defend!”
The enemy was strong in troops and horses. If they acted impulsively and removed the formation to fight head-on, it would only accelerate the city’s fall, handing over more than half their territory.
“Continue maintaining the city defense array!” the general shouted loudly. “Wait for reinforcements to come help!”
Reinforcements?
Everyone’s hearts were bitter.
This time, Jiuquan Continent’s invasion of Tianhe Continent was clearly planned over many years, and they had divided their forces to attack important cities. Who could come to their aid at this time?
“Look!”
Just then, the deputy general pointed toward the sky with wide eyes.
Everyone looked up and saw that in their field of vision, light suddenly began flickering.
“Whoosh—”
In that instant, rolling waves of energy suddenly surged through the Tianying City battlefield. A warship emanating an ancient aura gradually appeared.
“Hmm?”
The experts from Jiuquan Continent frowned.
“Everyone.”
Suddenly, a voice came from the warship, “Give Jun a bit of face—stop fighting.”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The cold wind blew away the energy waves surrounding the warship. Jun Changxiao appeared wearing sunglasses, draped in a mink coat, and smoking a cigar, with Ye Xingchen carrying a speaker and Li Qingyang and others following behind him.
“Swish!”
Xiao Zuiji stepped forward with practiced ease and set up a chair.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao shrugged his shoulders. The mink coat fell off and was caught by Su Xiaomo. He then sat down gracefully, directly facing the hundred catapults lined up ahead.
“Step! Step!”
Li Qingyang and the other disciples all stopped, standing proudly with their hands behind their backs.
The entrance was stylish to the extreme.
“Hmph.”
The experts from Jiuquan Continent immediately sneered coldly. From their facial expressions, it was clear they weren’t planning to give Dog Emperor any face.
Normal.
After all, they hadn’t eaten the Face-Face Fruit.
Moreover, Jiuquan Continent already held absolute advantage. Taking Tianying City would be easy as pie—why would they casually give up?
“Boy.”
The commanding general responsible for this siege said in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
Jun Changxiao removed his sunglasses, ran his five fingers through his hair from his forehead, and said, “Xingyun Continent Martial Alliance Leader, Eternal Sect Master, Jun Changxiao.”
“Xingyun Continent?”
“Seems like a third-rate realm.”
“Hired help?”
“Don’t joke around. Hiring a third-rate realm for help—has Tianhe Continent’s brain broken?”
The Jiuquan Continent experts began discussing, their eyes full of disdain.
“Third-rate?”
Jun Changxiao tossed away his cigar and ground it with his foot, then leaned back in his chair, interlaced his fingers, and said with cold eyes, “You need to take full responsibility for every word you’ve spoken.”
“Boy!”
A Jiuquan Continent expert flew out from the camp, gathering powerful spiritual energy in his right hand, his killing intent surging, “Stop playing dumb here!”
“Boom—”
Suddenly, a deafening explosive sound rang out. The approaching person’s head was pierced, and he fell to the ground with a “thud.”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao shouldered his smoking AWM sniper rifle and said, “I’ll just play dumb—what can you do about it?”
“Seeking death!”
The general in charge of the siege raised his hand and roared, “Blast him to pieces!”
“Snap.”
As soon as the words fell, Jun Changxiao appeared in front of him, the Desert Eagle gently pressed against his temple, his tone cold, “You try it.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
On the other side, Li Qingyang, Ye Xingchen, and the others charged over and dismantled all hundred catapults in three moves, then skillfully stored them in spatial rings.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The Jiuquan Continent experts were displeased. They rolled up their sleeves, fully releasing their cultivation levels, about to charge over.
But!
The next second, they all stood rooted to the spot like wooden chickens.
Because near that fellow holding the general hostage… a large group of people suddenly appeared!
They wore strange clothing resembling zebra stripes, their hands all bound by chains. Some were shaking their heads, some were doing leg stretches and squats, some were combing their messy hair, some struck seductive poses. The aura they emanated was absolutely terrifying!
“Come on!”
Jun Changxiao beckoned with his finger and shouted loudly, “Have fun!”
