At the north gate of Yanjiang City, many bodies of Yinjiao Army soldiers lay at the city gate, with fresh blood seeping into the snowy ground, looking very bleak.

  "What's going on?" A loud shout, and General Lan jumped off his horse and rushed to the city gate.

  "General, we pursued the Black Armor Army, who would have thought they had an ambush here. Just a moment ago, we lost thirty-six brothers." A Silver Python Army centurion reported this to General Lan, who listened with eyes bulging in anger: "Useless! Not even killing one of them, yet losing thirty-six!"

  At this time.

  "That Black Armor Army had long been planned." A calm voice sounded, General Blue turned his head to look, it was the middle-aged man in gray robe 'Hu Changlao'.

  "Hu Chang continued: "The tripwire on the ground, and those dense footprints over there! The Hei Jia Jun soldiers retreated in shifts, first withdrawing a portion to defend the north gate. Then, the other Hei Jia Jun soldiers followed suit... When we chased them to this..."

  That's all there is to say about this matter.

  "What shall we do now?" General Lan looked at him.

  "Wait!" Hu Changlao was not in the least hurry, "The Island Master will lead a large army to arrive soon, and gather with the Island Master and my ten Pre-Heavenly strong masters. At that time, we will go to destroy the Return to the Origin Sect." After finishing speaking, Hu Changlao turned his head and walked back to Yanjiang City.

  ******

  At noon, Qinghu Island's master 'Guyong' led 500 Golden Scales Guards and 20,000 Silver Python Army to arrive at Yanjiang City. From then on, the number of people and horses in Yanjiang City reached more than 800 Golden Scales Guards and 30,000 Silver Python Army! By afternoon, the mighty army left Yanjiang City and set off towards Jiangning Prefecture.

  The sun sets behind the western hills, and the sky is hazy.

  The mighty army of Qinghu Island, vast and boundless, formed a long dragon that seemed to have no end in sight. The vanguard of the dragon had already approached "Heyuan City" within the borders of Jiangning Prefecture. Heyuan City was the southernmost city closest to Jiangning Prefectural City, only over 300 miles away from it. There wasn't a single guard inside Heyuan City.

  It is clear that Jiangning Prefecture has abandoned this city.

  "The sky has darkened, let's rest in this River Source City for tonight." A thick and low voice sounded.

  "Yes, Island Master."

  ……

  In the castle of He Yuan, Hu Zhanglao and General Lan were following Gu Yong, the island master who wore a yellow robe. Gu Yong had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with long hair scattered around him. His eyes were usually half-closed, occasionally flashing with sharp glints. The whole person seemed like a lion that was suppressing its ferocity.

  "Hu Zhanglao, Lan Shidi, let's go sit over there." Gu Yong said.

  The three of them sat down around a stone table under a pavilion.

  "Hmm?" Hu Changlao turned his head to look into the distance, a smile appearing on his face. "Island Master, it seems that my shifu and the others have arrived."

  Gu Yong also smiled and stood up, and the three of them looked southward from afar.

  Only one by one, men and women wearing colorful robes or armor walked in, a total of ten people, two of whom were women. These ten people each had their own temperament, either ethereal and otherworldly, or full of murderous energy, or warm and easy to approach, or aloof and distant.

  "Gentlemen elders." Gu Yong smiled, "This time in Chu County, the gentlemen elders have worked hard."

  "Island Master!" The handsome young man smiled, "That Iron Clothes Sect has a total of two First Heaven True Dans and one First Heaven Golden Dan. With the ten of us going, it's naturally a sure win." This handsome young man, although his face looked like that of a youth, with skin as white as jade and rosy cheeks, but his hair was silver-white.

  This man was none other than Zhao Dan Chen, the first among the law enforcement elders!

  Zhao Dan Chen, Innate Golden Elixir, ranked tenth on the Heavenly List.

  In the entire continent of Jiuzhou, among them, Yangzhou's Gu Yong, Zhuge Yuanhong and Zhao Danchen occupied three places in the top ten of the "Tianbang". It is indeed astonishing.

  Of course... The Qinling Tian Emperor's family, one of the eight major sects - the Yongzhou Ying clan! There is also Yu Huang's Yu Zhou 'Yu Huang Men', and Shakyamuni's current number one among the eight major sects - Moni Temple. These three major sects have the deepest foundation.

  Because they respectively inherited the Qinling Tian Emperor, Yu Huang, and Shakyamuni Zushi lineage, many people think that within these three major sects, there are hidden super strong practitioners.

  Like Mani Temple, it occupies two provinces but no sect can shake it.

  After all, from ancient times to the present, Qinling Tian Emperor, Yu Huang, Shakyamuni, and Li Taibai, these four people are the strongest, and they have reached an unimaginable realm. Anyone who can inherit their mantle cannot be underestimated. Even if Yu Huang's unified world collapsed, the 'Yu Huang Gate' has stood for thousands of years, which shows its depth.

  "Island master, this is the original treasure map." The silver-haired handsome young man took out two slightly damaged black iron blocks from his bosom.

  "Hmm?" Gu Yong picked up.

  After killing the Iron Armor Sect's leader 'Nie Rong', Zhao Dan Chen immediately transmitted the 'map' he had hastily drawn to the island master 'Gu Yong'.

  "It's indeed the Yu Huang Treasure Map." Gu Yong burst out laughing, "Haha... this material is actually the 'Yu Stone' that Yu Huang refined back then. It has been passed down for thousands of years and even the Yu Stone has defects... it can be seen how brutal the fight for the Yu Huang Treasure Map was over the past few thousand years. I didn't expect that in the end, it would fall into my Qing Hu Island's hands."

  A purple-robed woman beside him smiled and said, "Island Master, that Nierong saw the situation was not good and wanted to escape. Fortunately, Zhao Shizu stopped him, otherwise, it's possible that Nierong would have escaped."

  That silver-haired handsome youth 'Zhao Dan Chen' smiled calmly.

  "This Yu Huang treasure map has fallen into my hands on Qinghu Island, and it's not urgent for the next day or two. After destroying the Guiyuan Sect, I will find the Yu Huang treasure with a clear mind." Gu Yong's face turned serious, "Everyone, this time Hu Changlao led the army to sneak attack Yanjiang City, unexpectedly, Tie Wanjun Tie Longlao was killed by Teng Qingshan in one battle."

  The faces of all ten congenital strongmen changed greatly.

  "Island owner, those green hills..." One by one looked at Gu Yong.

  Gu Yong nodded and said, "Teng Qing Shan has already reached the Xiantian level. A 17-year-old Xiantian expert who can kill Tie Long is too terrifying... So, everyone... This time we destroy the Guiyuan Sect, killing Zhuge Yuan Hong is the first priority, capturing Teng Qing Shan alive is the second. I believe capturing Teng Qing Shan alive won't be a problem."

  "Hand it over." Zhao Dan Chen said.

  "Zhao Lao opened his mouth, and I felt at ease." Gu Yong smiled and nodded, "However, everyone, when dealing with the Guiyuan Sect, you must not be careless. This Zhuge Yuanhong, in his younger years, I once fought a battle of wits with him. This Zhuge Yuanhong always has many tricks up his sleeve, it's very difficult to kill him."

  Everyone nodded.

  If he were to fight alone, no one in the arena would be confident of beating Zhuge Yuanchong. After all, rankings are everything, and Zhuge Yuanchong is ranked sixth on the Heavenly Rankings. Most importantly... Zhuge Yuanchong hasn't made a move in six years!

  Six years?

  With Zhuge Yuanhong's innate talent and surname, who knows what level he will reach in six years and what powerful moves he will create? It is necessary to know that the same realm has different ultimate moves with great differences. For example, Teng Qing Shan, although a pre-heavenly Void Dan, 'Poisonous Dragon Drill' is much stronger than 'Shadow Following Form'.

  While 'Red Tiger Roar' is stronger than 'Poisonous Dragon Drill'.

  Of course, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. 'Like a shadow' is fast and has continuous moves. 'Poisonous dragon drill' has the fastest instantaneous speed and is extremely powerful, but it has an instant gap after casting. 'Red tiger roar', on the other hand, has the strongest power, but it consumes too much innate true yuan and its move speed is not fast.

  The red tiger roars, just like 'Tiger Cannon Fist' has a momentum-building process, but it's a bit slower.

  ……

  Different special moves have different powers.

  Both are innate golden elixirs, some can be ranked first on the Heavenly List, while others hang at the end of the Heavenly List. Why? The difference lies in their individual ultimate moves, although they are similar in terms of realm.

  ******

  November 5th, cloudy sky.

  The snow had not yet completely melted, and the cold wind was blowing freely. On the city wall of Jiangning Prefecture, there were many soldiers wearing armor.

  "Fifty thousand city guards, twenty thousand outer disciples, five thousand core disciples, three thousand black armor army... Although there are many people, can they withstand the army of Qinghu Island?" Teng Qing Shan, wearing a Xuan Tie heavy armor and holding a wheel gun, was walking on the city wall, inspecting it, but his heart was somewhat worried.

  The number of city guards is large, but ten city guard soldiers are no match for one black armor soldier.

  Relying on the city wall's advantage, we should be able to hold our ground." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, "But what I'm worried about... is that the other side has a group of innate experts. If they kill off my sect's innate experts first, then we're in trouble." A city wall over ten zhang high had no obstructive effect on innate experts. Once the Sect Master, Elders, and Generals were all beheaded...

  The ending is predictable.

  "Green Mountain." A gentle voice sounded.

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head to look, and saw in the distance a figure in white robes with long hair scattered, Zhuge Yuanhong standing on the wall with a long sword on his back. The cold wind blew, and the robes fluttered, as if Zhuge Yuanhong was about to ride the wind away. At this moment, the core disciples and Black Armor Army soldiers on the city wall, even with their bravery, couldn't help but feel some worry.

  Only the sect master 'Zhuge Yuanhong' seemed not to worry at all.

  "Master." Teng Qing Shan walked over.

  "The people from Qinghu Island have arrived, wait a moment, you will be around me, don't leave within ten zhang." Zhuge Yuanhong said.

  Although perplexed, Teng Qing Shan still replied: "Yes, Master."

  "Has someone arrived?" Teng Qing Shan looked far into the distance, and with his eyesight, he barely saw a shadowy figure in the far distance.

  ……

  Half a time later, the army of Qinghu Island gathered completely three miles away from Jiangning City. The vast and dense Silver Python Army soldiers were like the endless and boundless dark sea on a cloudy day. As soon as they thought of the three words "Qinghu Island", many city guards and outer disciples were frightened to the point of trembling legs.

  "Zhuge Yuanhong!!!!!"

  A deep and heavy voice, like the voice of a heavenly god, came from afar in the sky and resounded throughout the city of Jiangning Prefecture.

  "Gu Yong!" Zhuge Yuanhong gazed out at a distance of three miles.

  The elegant Zhuge Yuanhong and the overbearing Gu Yong, these two people gazed at each other from afar.

  On the wall, including Deng Qing Mountain, three law enforcement elders stood behind their master 'Zhuge Yuanhong'. Zang Feng, Guan Lu, and Pang Shan, the three leaders, as well as many other elders also gathered here.

  "Huh? Thirteen people?" Teng Qing Shan's eyesight was also able to clearly see the front of the large army three miles away, where thirteen people were standing.

  Thirteen people lined up in a row, with one person wearing a golden yellow long gown in the center. The thirteen people stood there, exerting pressure on Mount Tengqin that far exceeded that of tens of thousands of troops.

  That rumbling sound came again from afar——

  "Zhuge Yuanhong, today I lead the great army myself. However, I do not wish to slaughter you and your clan easily. I give you three incense sticks! Within these three incense sticks, if you open the city gate and surrender with all your clan, I will spare a way out for you and your clan. If not, after the three incense sticks... I will let your clan turn into ashes!"

  A heavy sound, like thunder rumbling, echoed in the sky.
