In but half ahad fallen into his hands
When word began to spread, the entire country was stunned
It was not just Long Sang that was amazed; even the other six countries were duey reappeared?
What was he trying to do?
While everyone was still in a daze over his brazen actions, Lin Zuiliu had already begun his perfor control of the entire western region, he didn’t march on the capital Instead, he headed for the south, planning on conquering that area as well Because his soldiers were all Origin Qi Scholars, their ined
Even Lin Zuiliu hi the defensive Origin Forle person had taken down an entire city all on his own
He didn’t stop there, though, and immediately proceeded to his next destination
It see over the entire southern region in one fell swoop
At that ’s troops had already reached Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and were preparing for a fierce battle When they heard this news, however, they were i of Chaos had returned? Then ere they supposed to do?
Should they fight here or retreat?
Despite Long Sang’sthree Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators on this expedition, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was still no easy prey
This ti any atteth They had activated the ht to the death
The defensive forraded a number of times in the past few years, and its offensive power and capabilities had been greatly improved as a result The illusion that had tricked Shen Junan and the others was merely one of its new functionalities, not its sole improvement And because the Boundless Sect’s territory included arable fare quantities of resources When factoring in the large nu Realm cultivators, it was entirely possible for the Boundless Sect’s disciples to hold out for a nu’s army did seize Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, they would pay a huge price
General Guan Tao was a veteran, but even he hesitated at this dilemma, unable tohi Coiling City arrived, saying that they were to iive up on this operation and return to the southwest
Guan Tao sighed Thankfully, he had not been impulsive, and the ee at all Fighting a war on two fronts was not wise, especially when neither party was easy to deal with

As such, even though the place didn’t seem like much of a chokepoint, it was an incredibly important location
