Chapter 3859 Conquering the Northern Frontier

The Battle of Fulong Immortal City.

The Seven Mysteries Dao Sect also suffered significant losses.

Half of the defending cultivators perished, including more than 200,000 cultivators belonging to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

However, compared to the Tian Ce Army, such losses are naturally not significant.

Eight million Tian Ce soldiers.

The total haul alone amounts to no less than five million.

Shen Changqing secretly estimated that the number of Tian Ce Army soldiers killed in this battle would definitely not be less than six million.

It can be said.

After this battle.

The Tian Ce Army was essentially crippled.

With Pei Chengyue's defeat, the Great Luo Immortal Court no longer has any chance to contend with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

"With the defeat of the Great Luo Immortal Court, there is no one left to contend with in the Northern Frontier. Issue the order: within a year, I will take over the entire Northern Frontier!"

Shen Changqing's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

In this regard.

Mu Chen naturally accepted the order.

……

now.

Upon learning of the great victory at Fulong Immortal City, all factions of the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect were greatly encouraged.

Compare.

The morale of the Great Luo Immortal Court collapsed.

Many powerful figures abandoned the city and fled, while others, faced with the overwhelming force of the Seven Profound Dao Sect's army, simply surrendered with their troops.

Of course.

There are cultivators who fight to the death, but they are ultimately a minority.

Inside the Great Luo Immortal Court, Pei Chengyue's expression changed repeatedly as he watched the constant stream of messages being sent back.

By now.

How could this person not understand that the Great Luo Immortal Court is now doomed?

The battle at Fulong Immortal City shattered the morale of the Great Luo Immortal Court.

Of the eight million Tian Ce Army soldiers, more than half were lost, and less than a million ultimately returned alive.

Such losses pained Pei Chengyue deeply.

The Tian Ce Army is different from other armies; it is an elite force that he has carefully cultivated for many years. Now, in the battle of Fulong Immortal City, it has been almost completely wiped out, and the cost is considerable.

But no way.

In Pei Chengyue's view, the Seven Mysterious Dao Lord was too powerful, and if he did not retreat, he would probably perish on the spot.

Compared to their own lives, the Tian Ce Army was not so important.

"I underestimated this person after all!"

Pei Chengyue's eyes were cold; he considered this crushing defeat a disgrace.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The Seven Mysterious Dao Lord was stronger than he had imagined.

If he did not break through to the Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint Realm, he would have no chance of contending with him.

now.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was also somber. Most of the original generals were now absent, and there were only a dozen or so Immortal Emperors in sight.

Just then.

A guard rushed in from outside and said urgently, "Reporting to the commander, the Seven Mysterious Dao Lords have launched a massive attack. Many of our immortal cities have been attacked, and thirty-six immortal cities have already fallen!"

Upon hearing this, all the other generals paled.

Only Pei Chengyue's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly recovered and said calmly, "I understand. You may leave."

"Yes!"

The guard could only bow and retreat.

After the other party left, a cultivator couldn't sit still and said, "Commander, the morale of the Seven Profound Dao Sect is currently high, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Should we leave the Northern Frontier to avoid their sharp edge?"

Upon hearing this...

Pei Chengyue remained silent, and the atmosphere fell silent once again.

After a while.

Pei Chengyue exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes hardening.

"Send the order to withdraw the entire army from the northern border and retreat to the eastern region. Since the Seven Profound Dao Sect wants the northern border, why shouldn't I give it to them?"

The temporary gains and losses of the ancient immortal realm ultimately cannot change anything.

Once we leave the Ancient Immortal Realm, the Great Luo Immortal Court will surely send troops to the Taiyuan Prefecture of the Star Luo Immortal Domain. At that time, we will definitely exterminate their entire family!

When he uttered the last sentence, Pei Chengyue's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The other generals also secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They were afraid that Pei Chengyue wouldn't be able to swallow this insult and would vow to fight the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect to the death.

After all, it's clear to everyone that the Great Luo Immortal Court is no match for the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and if the war continues, the losses will only be greater.

Even among these high-ranking generals, it's questionable how many will survive.

"The Eastern Region also has fortresses that are no less formidable than Zhenyuan Pass. If we defend these fortresses, the Seven Profound Dao Sect will find it difficult to penetrate even a fraction of their territory."

As the military leader said, the temporary gains and losses on the ancient battlefield are nothing; in the end, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm will prevail.

"Once this Heavenly Dao Battle ends and all living beings depart from the ancient battlefield, we can then settle accounts with the Seven Profound Dao Sects at our leisure!"

One cultivator immediately agreed, and the others nodded in agreement.

……

soon.

Pei Chengyue's order was issued.

Upon learning this news, the various immortal cities in the northern frontier that belonged to the Great Luo Immortal Court were all relieved as if granted a pardon, and hastily abandoned their cities and fled in panic.

The Great Luo Immortal Court's actions were significant; news of their abandonment of the city and withdrawal of troops spread like wildfire.

At almost the same time, Shen Changqing, who had returned to Zhenyuan Pass, also learned the news.

"The Great Luo Celestial Court has retreated!"

This result was within his expectations.

With Pei Chengyue's defeat, the entire elite force of the eight million Tian Ce Army was wiped out, and the opponent was no longer qualified to fight against the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.

If they do not retreat, they will surely suffer total annihilation.

If Pei Chengyue had the courage to fight to the death, then the enemy wouldn't have fled during the battle at Fulong Immortal City.

Because of this, Shen Changqing concluded that the other side did not have the determination to fight to the death.

With the Great Luo Immortal Court now retreating and the resistance in the Northern Frontier weakened to the extreme, Shen Changqing would not miss this opportunity.

Under a series of orders, the army of the Seven Profound Dao Sect captured one immortal city after another at an astonishing speed.

When many independent cultivators heard the news of the Seven Profound Dao Sect's army pressing in, they all fled at the mere sight of them, and not a single one dared to resist.

after all.

The Great Luo Celestial Court has been defeated.

How can they counter it?

In less than six months, all the numerous immortal cities in the vast northern frontier fell into the hands of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty-one immortal cities!

Without exception.

With so many immortal cities falling into the hands of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, Shen Changqing was not stingy at all and immediately rewarded them according to their merits.

The Seven Mysteries Dao Sect's twelve peaks reward merit regardless of cultivation level or background.

From the highest Immortal Emperor to the lowest Ancient Immortal King, anyone with outstanding achievements can become the lord of an Immortal City, refine the Immortal City Dao Stele, and enjoy the blessings of Heaven.

Those who failed to obtain the position of Lord of the Immortal City were also generously given cultivation resources.

After all, the vast Northern Frontier is dotted with numerous immortal cities, and the cultivation resources they contain are astonishing.

Although the resources of the Northern Frontier were greatly lost due to the successive divisions among various forces and cultivators, the Seven Profound Dao Sect's army later swept through the Northern Frontier, killing many cultivators and capturing many immortal cities, achieving equally impressive gains.

When such a batch of cultivation resources is bestowed, it is enough to make the remaining cultivators eat until their mouths are full of oil.

the reason is simple.

Originally, the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect had quite a few cultivators who entered the ancient immortal realm, numbering around ten million.

After numerous battles, only less than two million cultivators have survived to this day.

With fewer than two million cultivators enjoying the cultivation resources of the entire Northern Frontier, the benefits are self-evident.

Shen Changqing was not particularly affected by the fact that millions of disciples of his sect had died in the battle.

This ancient battlefield was created by the Heavenly Dao to nurture the Gu.

Any cultivator who steps into this world will either become a hunter or a prey; there is no third possibility.

The winner survives!

The loser dies!

That was the rule of the ancient battlefield.

Even Shen Changqing couldn't guarantee that he would be able to leave the ancient battlefield alive, let alone the other cultivators in the sect.

Therefore, such battle losses were unlikely to cause him much psychological distress.

……

now.

Inside Zhenyuan Pass.

Many high-ranking members of various sects gathered here.

The remaining cultivators who came to join us, apart from the initial powerful figures of the Immortal Qin Dynasty such as Wenren Chen, were not eligible to be included in the list.

"Sect Master, now that the entire Northern Frontier has fallen into our sect's hands, shall we take the next step and conquer the Eastern Region?"

"Having heard that the Great Luo Immortal Court is entrenched in the Eastern Region, since we have already broken ties with them, why not seize this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

The speaker was Mingxi, the former peak master of the Sword Peak of the Xuantian Dao Sect and the current peak master of the Lanyue Peak. His face was filled with intense killing intent, and deep in his eyes was an unquenchable fighting spirit.

His words immediately drew excited looks from many people.

The Battle of Northern Xinjiang.

All cultivators in the sect received a large amount of cultivation resources, not to mention the sect's higher-ups.

Having already tasted the benefits of the Northern Frontier, if they could also conquer the Eastern Region, they would undoubtedly gain even more cultivation resources.

in this way.

How many people could resist such temptation?

Shen Changqing glanced at them and shook his head slightly: "The Eastern Region is guarded by fortresses. If we want to take it, we will definitely have to sacrifice more lives."

Moreover, although the Great Luo Immortal Court seems to have suffered heavy losses, Pei Chengyue is still alive, so it cannot be considered a serious blow.

Moreover, besides Pei Chengyue, there are other half-saints in the Great Luo Immortal Court.

"If this is a battle against the Eastern Region, the Great Luo Immortal Court will not easily back down; this is one reason."

"Secondly, if the sect takes over the northern frontier and then continues to send troops to the eastern region, the Taihua Holy Land and the Yanxu Holy Land will probably become wary."

At that time, if the two major powers joined forces with the Great Luo Immortal Court, it would be a losing proposition.

"not to mention--"

Shen Changqing paused here, noticing the slight change in everyone's expressions, before continuing.

"The sect's foundation is too shallow. One Northern Frontier is enough. If it really wants to take over the Eastern Region, or even dabble in the entire territory of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of other forces."

The ancient battlefield is different from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm; here, a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

If a sect truly provokes a united attack, then destruction is not far off.

Right now, the sect only needs to defend the northern border. With the blessings of the heavens from the 13,621 immortal cities in the northern border, its strength will increase significantly.

Any more words, and I'm afraid I'll choke!

Things are different now.

Back then, Shen Changqing might have had the idea of ​​taking over the Northern Frontier and then swallowing up the entire Immortal Qin Dynasty.

But things are different now.

With the emergence of three new powers, some things should change.

Shen Changqing's words instantly calmed many cultivators down.

Having cultivated for many years, they naturally understood the underlying principles; they were simply blinded by the interests of the Northern Frontier.

Now that Shen Changqing's words have directly awakened them, they can clearly see the danger involved.

"The Sect Master is absolutely right!" (End of Chapter)
