Speaking of Xu Haoran True Monarch, who had exhausted his life force and died during ditation, Elder Beast Fury, who also had limited life force, felt a sense of sorrow, and a trace of grief appeared on his face.
With Xu Haoran True Monarch's passing, there was now only one Primordial Spirit True Monarch left in the Yellow Lotus Sect, and that was Saintess Xu ngying. All the pressure faced by the Yellow Lotus Sect now fell on her shoulders.
Relying solely on her, a re woman, it was unknown whether she could uphold the legacy of this Primordial Spirit grand sect that had lasted for two thousand years.
Shortly after Elder Beast Fury led ng Zhang to fly into the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar, they encountered Saintess Xu ngying, who had been waiting for them.
Xu ngying was dressed in mourning clothes and looked sowhat haggard, but her spirit was high, and she appeared full of vitality.
Jade Sword Sect had always acted generously, and after a large number of cultivators entered this place, they at least showed respect for Xu ngying as the landowner.
Of course, in reality, Xu ngying couldn't ddle in many matters. Jade Sword Sect made all the decisions on how to arrange defenses, deploy manpower, and organize the troops.
Xu ngying had beco more like a housekeeper, specifically responsible for so miscellaneous tasks.
She didn't have any objections to this. It was her initiative to join Jade Sword Sect and invite their cultivators to occupy the mountain gate. As long as Jade Sword Sect could erge victorious in this battle, they would treat her well no matter what.
Seeing Xu ngying approach, Elder Beast Fury knew she had a close relationship with ng Zhang and seed to have fought side by side with him before.
After so small talk, Elder Beast Fury found an excuse to leave, leaving the two of them alone.
Apart from exchanging so pleasantries, Xu ngying discussed business matters with ng Zhang.
She briefed ng Zhang on Jade Sword Sect's general defensive arrangents.
Jade Sword Sect knew that their strength was far inferior to that of the Dali Dynasty, so they adopted a strategy of defensive counterattack.
Using the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar as the core, Jade Sword Sect laid out defenses along the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain.
Across thousands of miles on the front, a large number of formations and temporary structures were established, housing countless cultivators, forming an impregnable defensive line.
Jade Sword Sect led the cultivators of the Jiuqu League, holding this defensive line and waiting for the Dali Dynasty's attack.
If soone unfamiliar with the rules of the Cultivation World were to learn about this, they might find it strange.
The people of the Dali Dynasty were not fools, so why would they charge headlong into the tightly arranged defenses of their enemy? Couldn't they find another way?
In the Cultivation World, there have been nurous wars, each with its own rules.
Generally speaking, when a force like Jade Sword Sect set up such a formation, the Dali Dynasty would actively respond.
Even if the Dali Dynasty took so asures to avoid a major battle here, eventually, they would still have to face Jade Sword Sect head-on.
Jade Sword Sect's strength might be inferior to the Dali Dynasty, but they could still easily send out a dozen or so Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
If these Primordial Spirit True Monarchs abandoned everything and stord into the Dali Dynasty's territory, they could cause chaos, engage in guerrilla warfare, and conduct raids on spirit veins. ȓаNΟВЁṢ
Destroying a city today, obliterating a mine tomorrow, and blowing up a spirit vein the day after...
It wouldn't take long to turn the Dali Dynasty's territory upside down. Even if the Dali Dynasty eventually exterminated or expelled the invaders, they would suffer irreparable losses.
However, in reality, when it ca to battles between human cultivators, whether they were in a weaker or stronger position, they would not adopt such thods.
The deciding factor for victory or defeat between the two sides is often a direct frontal battle, sotis involving several encounters.
Even if they send out raiding parties to the enemy's rear, the scale is usually not large, mainly consisting of small teams of cultivators.
Though it seems like no one is supervising, this is a long-standing unspoken rule in the Cultivation World.
The larger the scale of the battle, the less likely anyone will break the rules, and the more strictly they will adhere to them.
The Dali Dynasty, already having the upper hand, naturally wouldn't retreat when facing the defensive line laid out by Jade Sword Sect; they would directly push forward.
During the course of the operation, the Dali Dynasty might employ so strategies, such as feints, flanking maneuvers, and so on. However, regardless of their tactics, a direct confrontation would be inevitable.
On this defensive line, all the remaining forces of the Jiuqu League have gathered.
At the sa ti, Jade Sword Sect is continuously squeezing their potential and desperately deploying more cultivators here.
This battle is of great significance and relates to the future of all forces within Jade Sword Sect and the Jiuqu League.
If the defensive line collapses and they are defeated in this battle, the entire Jiuqu League will no longer have the strength to resist the Dali Dynasty.
At that ti, the only options left would be to surrender voluntarily or escape as quickly as possible.
While explaining their situation, Xu ngying also did not forget to introduce the strength of the Dali Dynasty.
ng Zhang knew that the Dali Dynasty was formidable, with nurous powerful individuals and a formidable army. However, he had limited knowledge about the specifics.
Listening to Xu ngying's explanation, his face turned increasingly grim. The strength of the Dali Dynasty seed to be far beyond his imagination.
He was well aware of the strength of the Jiuqu League, even if there were so hidden forces, they were limited.
Facing the mighty Dali Dynasty, how long could the Jiuqu League resist?
Suddenly, ng Zhang felt an impulse to abandon everything here and escape to avoid encountering the powerful army of the Dali Dynasty.
He suppressed the impulse and looked at Xu ngying with questioning eyes.
Xu ngying, along with the other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who arrived earlier, knew the power balance between the two sides, yet they chose to stay and fight without retreating. They must have so reliance.
Recalling that before, he had heard from other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, it seed that Jade Sword Sect still had great confidence.
Xu ngying didn't directly answer ng Zhang's question, deliberately keeping him in suspense.
After arriving at the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain, ng Zhang was going to et with the higher-ups of Jade Sword Sect and accept his own and Taiyi Sect's missions.
Now, Xu ngying was going to lead ng Zhang to et with the Sect Master of Jade Sword Sect, Jade Sword True Monarch.
At that ti, all his questions would be answered.
As the Sect Master of Jade Sword Sect, Jade Sword True Monarch gained the support of True Monarch Azure Peak and beca the new leader of the Jiuqu League.
After arriving at the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain, despite having the assistance of the Deputy Sect Master of Jade Sword Sect in handling various tasks, he still had nurous matters to attend to personally.
In such a situation, he still took ti out of his busy schedule to et with every arriving Primordial Spirit True Monarch and have a brief conversation with them.
Xu ngying led ng Zhang around the magnificent buildings of the Yellow Lotus Sect Main Altar and finally arrived at a tall and majestic palace.
Originally, this place was the main hall of the Yellow Lotus Sect, where the Cult Master and elders discussed important matters.
Now, it had been temporarily requisitioned by Jade Sword Sect and beca the temporary residence of Jade Sword True Monarch.
Outside the palace, in the sky and on the ground, there was a group of Sword Cultivators dressed in white Dao robes, patrolling or guarding the area.
This was the most elite force of Jade Sword Sect, the Jade Sword Guard, composed of the finest Sword Cultivators from the sect.
Even the lowest cultivator among them at the Foundation Building stage had formidable combat capabilities.
