736 Verdant Canyon Attacks (2/2)

The cloud violently twisted and accumulated until it suddenly turned into countless beams of light, dissipating in the sky. A power beyond humanity crushed down to the ground.

”Boom!”

The earth badly shook and the horses began to panic and howl.

The whole Verdant Canyon collapsed.

The West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army had been guarding against the Tang Army or the Tang cultivators in the Verdant Canyon. However, they never expected that the one who strarted to attack was not a man.

The one who attacked them was the Verdant Canyon itself.

The green and beautiful gorge turned into the most terrible place in the world.

Smoke caused by the collapse rose to the sky from the gorge. Judging from the height, the situation inside must be terrible.

Countless heavy rocks rolled down over the cavalry of the South Jin Kingdom, creating thundering sounds and rolling forward with bloody bodies.

The dull thuds constantly sounded and lasted for a long time. As the smoke became thicker and thicker, it turned into a vast dust cloud and covered the whole gorge.

The soldiers' screams came out of the gorge and were covered by the dull thuds until they could no longer be heard. The people outside barely heard anything until it became deadly silent inside.

By this time, it had been a long while since the Verdant Canyon collapsed. The huge rocks which were bigger than carriages finally stopped rolling and the shaking wilderness calmed down as well.

The West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army in the Qinghe County was in silence.

Everyone was shocked and scared.

Bai Haixin's face was extremely pale and his hand holding the reins kept shaking.

The collapse had killed over 20,000 people by now.

Even though this loss could not change the overall strategic situation and fundamentally weakened the strength of the coalition, he still felt extremely sad and unacceptable.

As the commander-in-chief of the West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army as well as the military leader of the South Jin, he could not stand to witness his 20,000 soldiers just being killed like this before they met their enemies.

Inside a carriage, Ye Hongyu was trembling, looking very serious. She was a little scared, but she tried to calm dowm, smoothing her robe which was wrinkled when she was nervous.

She was firm and fearless, so this kind of emotion was foreign to her, even if her opponent was formidable.

However, as she expected, to destroy the Verdant Canyon was countless times more difficult than Jun Mo chopping the Buddha statue in the Lanke Temple. Only Haotian could do this.

How did the Tangs collapse the gorge?

Who was in that verdant gorge?

What on earth happened in that gorge?

Compared with the famous Min Mountain, the verdant mountains across the southern wilderness in Tang were not too high and dangerous. However, since the surface of the mountains was covered with hard and heavy granite while the interior was limestone, which would be easily soluble in rain; landslides and rock reductions usually ocurred.

Given that, the mountains looked bizarre: the cliffs were steep in odd shapes and difficult to climb even for a martial cultivator.

Fortunately, there was a gorge crossing the mountains, connecting the central hinterland of Tang and Qinghe County. Otherwise, it would be a long trip to go around the mountains.

Hundreds of years ago, the Tang used a lot of labor and resources to widen the gorge, reinforcing both sides of the valley by Talisman Masters and Array Tactical Masters, and planted numerous trees with prosperous root systems to strengthen the control of Qinghe County. Eventually, the natural road in the valley was turned into a smooth road.

Since that day, the road from the north to the south became unobstructed. This great road of great strategic significance made the Tang and Qinghe one family, never to be separated.

However, nowadays, the warlords in Qinghe County rebelled and surrendered to the West-Hill Divine Palace, joining the coalition on its way to attack Chang'an. The Tang Empire had been divided.

Then, what's the point of this verdant gorge?

Let it collapse.

Let it bury the past.
