324 A sense of powerlessness

Wei Yun’s intention to meet Xia Cang had been ruthlessly rejected, so there was no way to talk about negotiations.

The Wei Kingdom’s Army pressed forward, especially with many high-level cultivators. They all appeared and instantly put a lot of pressure on the defense line led by Yunxiao sect.

The war had not started yet, so who would dare to move?

At this crucial moment, there was another piece of very bad news that reached the hands of the Yunxiao sect higher-ups-the Imperial Guards in muyao County suddenly listened to orders but did not obey orders. Yunxiao sect’s orders could reach muyao County, but they could not command the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Army that had received the order to reinforce the front line did not move.

This wasn’t something inconceivable. The Imperial Guards were an Army that was loyal to the Imperial court and the royal family of the Yan Dynasty. At this juncture, it was obvious whether they would stand on the side of Yunxiao sect or the Imperial court.

Moreover, it was clear that this Army might have come with some kind of special mission.

Han xuzi, who was at the front line, was furious.

But what could he do at this moment? Turn around and clear out this Army?

They were tens of thousands of elite Imperial Army soldiers who worked together all year round to train in formations. With the help of the artificial spirit vein that Mulin County had, this Army’s general formation, coupled with the many jiedan experts in the Army formation, and the Yuanying stage zou ziwu holding the fort, under the circumstances of only thinking about defense, how could it be so easy to break through?

Of course, if the Yunxiao sect disregarded everything and mobilized the power of the frontline Army to fight head-on, or even let the Dharma Grandmaster, Weiyun, take action personally, they could indeed get rid of this Imperial Army rather quickly.

However, Wufu had mobilized the core forces at the Pingzhou defense line. Xia Cang of the Wei Kingdom was also a veteran general. On one hand, he was extremely powerful, but on the other hand, the title of ‘great general’ was not given for nothing. It was a title earned from his incisive battle records.

He was also an undefeatable God of War.

This ‘undefeated’ didn’t mean that he had never lost in a solo battle before. That was unrealistic. However, when he led an Army in battle, he had never lost a single battle.

In front of such an ‘undefeatable God of War’, how could they allow the Pingzhou defense line to reveal such a big flaw? If they dared to do so, Xia Cang would definitely personally lead the Wei Kingdom’s Army and completely destroy the defense line in Pingzhou that Yunxiao sect had painstakingly set up. They might even be able to fight an outstanding battle of annihilation and completely wipe out Yunxiao sect’s main forces in Pingzhou.

Indeed, according to the current information, the Wei Kingdom should have received an invitation from the Yan Emperor, li Shiwen, to let Xia Cang lead the Army to the front line in Pingzhou to put pressure on Yunxiao sect so that Yunxiao sect could not spare any manpower to deal with li Shiwen, who had a breakthrough in Yan city. However, if the Wei Kingdom seized the opportunity to take advantage of the internal strife in the Yan Kingdom and directly annihilate the main force of the Yan Kingdom, would they be willing to do it?

They would definitely be willing to do it!

They had completely annihilated the Imperial Guards who represented the Imperial court and the royal family, as well as the Yunxiao sect’s main force who represented the sect Alliance. Xia Cang might not be able to lead the Wei Kingdom’s Army all the way north and directly enter, turning this battle that was originally just a deterrent and a distraction into a real battle to destroy the kingdom.

This was very likely.

Therefore, Yunxiao sect was extremely furious at li Shiwen’s actions. For the sake of his own breakthrough, he had really gone too far. Once things went out of hand, li Shiwen still wanted to advance to the materialization realm? Dharma, my ass! The entire Yan Kingdom might be gone!

Perhaps, the Wei Kingdom was willing to accept li Shiwen’s invitation to send their Army to the front line of Pingzhou because they wanted to wait for an opportunity. If the Yan Kingdom were to fall into internal strife, it would be a good time for them to launch a large-scale invasion.

This was something that Yunxiao sect could not accept.

They would rather reach a compromise with li Shiwen on this matter and acquiesce to the emperor’s breakthrough to the Dharma stage than to see their main force in Pingzhou’s front line get into trouble.

Of course, he was still far from reaching the point where he had to compromise with li Shiwen.

The attitude that the Imperial Guards of Yulin royal guards temporarily displayed was that they still did not listen to the transfer orders and only cared about guarding Mujin County. However, they did not reveal their hostility towards Yunxiao sect.

After han xuzi suppressed the anger in his heart, he made a rather rational decision.

On one hand, he still placed his main forces on the Pingzhou defense line. He could clearly see that his biggest enemy was still the Wei Army.

In addition, a nascent soul cultivator led a small group of Yunxiao sect elites and monitored the Imperial Guards at the border of muyao County.

No matter what, he still had to keep an eye on them, in case this group of most loyal troops of the Yan Emperor really went crazy and stabbed Yunxiao sect in the back. That would be the end of them.

Under such a situation, han xuzi could only complain that he didn’t have enough power in his hands, let alone transferring a nascent soul realm cultivator from the frontline to Yan city to solve the problem.

To a certain extent, he was already thinking about how things would end up in Yan city. It seemed like he could accept it.

If li Shiwen failed to break through, everyone would be happy. At that time, Bai Nantian and Lu Qing would lead the Feiyun state’s cultivators to the South from the North. They would naturally be able to get rid of the Yulin royal guards in muyao County. Furthermore, without any internal strife, the Wei state’s Army would naturally retreat. Otherwise, would they really want to start a full-scale war? The Yan Kingdom is not the only enemy of the great Wei.

If li Shiwen really succeeded in breaking through, that was not the result that Yunxiao sect wanted to see. In the future, both parties would probably have countless disputes within Yan country. Furthermore, it was unlikely that Yunxiao sect could continue to completely crush the Imperial court like in the past. The interests within Yan country would definitely be divided again.

but no matter what, this was a matter of the future. If li Shiwen really succeeded in breaking through, han xuzi also had a plan: The only thing they could do was to make peace with the Emperor. Both sides would work together to force the Wei Kingdom to retreat.

As for the future, it would depend on everyone’s own methods.

He could only hope that this would not happen.

No matter what, han xuzi could not help but feel a sense of powerlessness. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

He realized that he had no control over the situation in Yan city.

“Let’s see if martial nephew Bai can solve this, hehe.”

Lu Qing also hopes that your strength can match your ambition.
