Fight your grandpa!

Shameless!

The height of shamelessness!!!

Lord Taishan nearly fainted from anger. This was clearly taking advantage of someone’s misfortune, and this “misfortune” was a trap she had deliberately designed for him to fall into!

Thinking through everything from beginning to end, what wasn’t clear?

The previous three feint attacks and harassment had made Lord Taishan unable to not suspect that the enemies behind them wanted to do something, and it would be in this position behind the formation. So after losing a small portion of forces in those days, to ensure sufficient troops at the Ghost Gate Pass garrison, they had to supplement soldiers from the Extreme Territory’s seventy-two cities.

But when supplementing soldiers from the seventy-two cities, how could anywhere be more convenient than the nearby Watch Platform?

The formation that extracted earth force and yin essence from the Watch Platform was created by that rare judge under Lord Qin Guang who was deeply versed in formations. The enormous power of gathering earth force and yin essence formed storms within the formation—even he, with his peak Void Return cultivation, dared not easily test it.

In other words, the Watch Platform itself was very safe.

So when he decided to secretly withdraw forces from the Watch Platform to supplement the ghost soldier formation at Ghost Gate Pass garrison, he hadn’t thought that the enemy’s real target was precisely the Watch Platform!

A diversion!

A complete diversion strategy!

However, looking back, Lord Taishan felt that no matter what, he couldn’t have avoided falling into the trap: if he didn’t supplement forces and focus on defending the rear, the enemy would attack head-on, abandoning the Watch Platform to directly ambush their rear; if he supplemented forces as now, leaving the Watch Platform vulnerable, it played right into the enemy’s hands!

What meticulous and vicious thinking!

He almost instinctively issued an order for the ghost soldiers in the rear formation to rush to reinforce the Watch Platform. However, just as the words left his mouth, he realized an even bigger, more terrifying trap!

No!

Something was wrong!

Countless thoughts raced through his mind in this instant!

As Jian Chou’s sword fell like a long river sunset, Lord Taishan had already understood the key to it all.

A long howl suddenly pierced the sky!

“Come back—”

Still an order directed at the ghost soldiers! But it was already too late…

Cultivation world wars were ultimately different from mortal wars.

Mortals needed a long time to cross a distance of more than ten li, but ghost cultivators didn’t. The instant Lord Taishan spoke, the ten thousand ghost soldiers who received orders to reinforce had almost reached the wilderness directly facing the Watch Platform garrison!

How could they retreat now?

In the ghost soldier formation that had originally been evenly matched with Jiushijiu Zhou, suddenly lacking these ten thousand people was too obvious.

How could such a massive change in military strength escape Xie Buchen’s eyes?

He held his bow, a slight smile playing at his lips, and simply waved his hand from on high!

“Rumble!”

Jiushijiu Zhou’s attacks suddenly became fierce without warning!

The previously terrifying momentum could simply be called gentle compared to this wave of attacks!

The balance of power had already changed—how could the Extreme Territory ghost soldiers withstand such a fierce offensive from their opponents?

Countless attacks immediately fell into the formation!

One ghost soldier after another screamed and fell, their faces blurred, turning into black smoke and being absorbed into the depths of the wilderness…

Lord Taishan watched with rage in his eyes!

He wanted to immediately rush to the Watch Platform to stop what was about to happen, but was repeatedly blocked by Jian Chou’s fierce and powerful attacks, unable to break free as he struggled left and right!

In just this moment, the deadlocked battle situation had already tilted toward Jiushijiu Zhou!

Across the entire desolate wilderness of Ghost Gate Pass, there were loud or hoarse battle cries, overwhelming attacks, and the human and ghost shadows of combatants…

Yet beneath the ground at this moment, it seemed extremely quiet.

Walking through those maze-like corridors, one could clearly hear the magnificent sounds of battle from the surface above.

Qu Zhengfeng’s expression was calm to the extreme.

The instant he stepped into the corridor leading to the Watch Platform formation, that face wrapped in sickly air that belonged to Xiao Mou silently changed back to his sharp-featured appearance. His pure white robes, as if soaked in ink, were dyed from top to bottom into profound black in an instant. Dark golden embroidered patterns crawled across the entire robe, swaying in the surging earth force and yin essence with his steady steps…

The ghost soldiers patrolling outside saw his figure.

In that instant, they sternly shouted from the corridor entrance: “Who goes?!”

But Qu Zhengfeng acted as if he hadn’t heard at all, continuing toward the end of the corridor. In no time, he was already standing at the edge of the abyss where the earth force and yin essence storm leaped!

The exquisite and obscure formation on the ground was still the same as when they had first seen it.

Qu Zhengfeng casually placed the Lower Crescent Command Token he had obtained from Zhang Tang into the crescent-shaped groove on the right side.

“Click.”

A soft sound.

In this instant, suddenly a pure white light completely different from the endless earth force and yin essence storm outside exploded!

One line flowed along the fine holes in the groove toward the bottom of the abyss;

More surged like raging tides, filling the entire corridor!

The instant this line of white light reached the bottom of the abyss, the entire abyss shook with a rumble, shaking this underground maze built around the Watch Platform and making the entire ground surface tremble violently!

At first rustling, then violently!

Such a great commotion almost spread across the entire battlefield. Whether it was the nearby Extreme Territory ghost soldiers or the distant Jiushijiu Zhou cultivators, all turned their heads in shock!

Lord Taishan looked back in complete despair and terror, hearing beside his ear a long, resonant roar like thunder, followed by what seemed like floodgates opening and ten thousand beasts howling!

Fifteen li away, the ground at this moment was as fragile as paper!

With a great “rumble,” it was broken through!

A hurricane of earth force and yin essence like ten black dragons embracing each other burst forth from underground, from the abyss, from the wilderness!

Becoming the most terrifying phenomenon between heaven and earth!

And a profound black figure stood proudly atop this hurricane, like a demon god overlooking all living beings!

Qu Zhengfeng!

The fierce and valiant Yashan cultivator from eleven cycles ago!

How could Lord Taishan not remember him?

Indeed they were in league!

Indeed it was calculated!

What this earth force and yin essence that suddenly exploded from underground meant, no one knew better than Lord Taishan!

This black hurricane rushed from underground toward the sky! Crashing into the firmament, connecting heaven and earth!

Who could not recognize that figure?

Jiushijiu Zhou’s side immediately erupted in celebration, only Daoist Hengxu remained silent.

There were too many unexpected changes in this battle, almost completely beyond Jiushijiu Zhou’s control.

Those who could understand the opposite side’s situation were only a few.

Back in the Watch Platform hall, Xie Buchen had personally witnessed Zhang Tang giving the Lower Crescent Command Token to Jian Chou. So when he discovered the previous three rear harassment attacks on the Extreme Territory ghost soldiers, he clearly judged Jian Chou’s purpose and could completely predict all the changes that would occur today.

It was just somewhat unexpected that Qu Zhengfeng didn’t participate in battle but personally went to close the Watch Platform.

Just as this thought fell, another change arose in the battle formation!

In front of Ghost Gate Pass were the figures of Jian Chou and Lord Taishan locked in endless combat!

Behind Ghost Gate Pass was that hurricane of earth force and yin essence that suddenly exploded from the ground and Qu Zhengfeng standing atop the hurricane!

And at this moment, two other figures actually rushed out from Wrongful Death City in this instant, attacking from left and right!

Toward Qu Zhengfeng!

And toward the Watch Platform he was closing!

Enormous pressure instantly pressed down!

One had a slender, graceful form—appearing to be a woman with delicate features wearing gauze robes; the other looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a soft little cat lying on his shoulder, his face full of solemnity and anger!

The Seventh Hall, Lord Dushi!

The Fourth Hall, Lord Wu Guan!

No one knew why they had suddenly appeared here, but all could see their target at this moment!

One light and ethereal, one like rushing thunder!

But their speeds were equally swift, their incoming momentum equally fierce!

Everyone widened their eyes at this moment.

Even Jian Chou, in the midst of fierce battle with Lord Taishan, couldn’t help but glance sideways!

However, no one had expected that just as Lord Dushi and Lord Wu Guan were about to reach Qu Zhengfeng, the entire sky suddenly darkened!

The Extreme Territory had no sun or moon!

The alternation of day and night only relied on the wondrous changes of light and darkness from the outside sky.

This sudden darkness was simply like sending everyone into night!

It was a vast and ancient aura!

Coming from the distant ends of the wilderness…

Everyone looked up in shock. The speeding Lord Wu Guan and Lord Dushi Jiang Chang also realized some dangerous change at this instant and looked up!

It wasn’t that the sky had darkened at all?

Clearly this cloud-covered sky had suddenly been covered by some enormous existence, whose shadow fell down, blocking everyone’s entire field of vision!

Then fierce winds swept up the remaining clouds!

Before Lord Dushi and Lord Wu Guan could react from this suddenly descending terrifying pressure and enormous shock, a giant tail fin had already swayed down from the clouds!

Big!

Really too big!

Ordinary-sized people were simply like tiny ants before a mountain, like fragile lone boats in angry seas before this enormous fish fin!

Without even reaching them, just the fierce wind it stirred up struck like giant waves!

“Boom!”

Caught completely off guard, Lord Dushi and Lord Wu Guan were directly swatted back!

However fast they came, that’s how fast they went!

Swift as lightning! Beyond anyone’s reach!

“Bang bang”—two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, the tremendous noise of two Yama Kings both crashing hard into the wilderness ground!

The swirling fierce wind scattered the dark clouds at the horizon. Only then did everyone see clearly the true form of this enormous shadow in the sky!

It was an extremely large fish.

The instant the tail fin retracted, it suddenly transformed into a giant bird with wings that covered the sky!

Spanning thousands of li, like land floating in the sky!

Its back like Mount Tai, its wings like clouds hanging from heaven; striking water for three thousand li, soaring upward ninety thousand li; transcending cloud qi, bearing the blue sky!

The monarch of the sky, the master of the vast sea!

Fu Chaosheng’s figure had somehow already disappeared from his original position, landing on that broad roc’s back, forming a tiny point of pale green…

Ancient and aloof, with demonic bearing!

Even the three Yama Kings and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers on this battlefield combined couldn’t match half of his momentum at this moment!
