Chapter 511: Chapter 125: Chaotic World (4/3)

"Haha, as expected of the Divine Mandate, such a grand temperament." Upon hearing that Prince Zhong was put at a slight disadvantage, Song Shihang let out a hearty laugh, turned, and walked away, while Prince Zhong shook his head: "Fighting now is actually a good thing, my intentions are truly sincere."

—Although, whether the fight happens now or later, the fate of everyone at Broken Blade Mountain will not be good.

Several days later, reinforcements really did arrive.

However, it was not the Prefecture Government’s reinforcements, but Gu Yunzhi’s Flying Shuttle Team.

This special Flying Shuttle Team flew in from above the Snow Clouds, evading the encirclement and pursuit led by Dust Li’s side. Aside from some Jade Liquid as supplies, there was also a whole squad of Red Armored Guards; a surprise force sent by Gu Yunzhi.

He must have already made a secret connection with Virtuous King, and indeed seriously wanted to support An Jing, but with wars erupting all over the Northern Border, as the General in charge of all the Northern Border’s military affairs, Gu Yunzhi truly had no spare capacity to continue supporting An Jing.

Meanwhile, he brought with him a piece of bad news.

—According to intelligence from Gu Yunzhi, the Taiming Sect’s reinforcements had also reached Yujiang City.

This wasn’t actually bad news.

The real bad news was that the ’opportunity’ Iron Li’s side had been waiting for had finally arrived.

On the fifth day after An Jing rejected that inexplicable order from the Prefecture Government to go to war, during a windless, snowless afternoon.

Whether it was the Iron Cavalry waiting for instructions, or the Martial Army on constant alert; whether it was the Martial Guards patrolling back and forth in the granaries, or the ordinary people lying quietly at home to conserve energy, everyone felt a palpable heart tremor that originated from the depths of their soul.

Even An Jing, who was in the middle of Cultivation in his workshop and close to breaking through the sixth prohibition, sensed something. He quickly walked out the door, looking towards the north.

He saw, to the direct north of North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, clouds being forcefully pushed and spread layer by layer as if a giant stone was dropped into a calm lake, and the continuous overcast clouds that obscured the Northern Border’s sky for years suddenly revealed a huge void.

Above the void, at the very top of the firmament, was no longer the deep blue, purple-tinged beautiful canopy of the sky but a segment of abysmal dark colored starry space, with stars emitting bright and fierce light, drawing complex trajectories amidst the dark, even overshadowing the brilliance of the sun.

Bai Bu from Dust Li, the people who were struggling and migrating through the snow, the battle zones in the Northern Border, and the soldiers who were fighting with the enemy. No matter if it was Martial Artist or commoner, Demon Spirit or human, even the True Persons from the Divine Repository who were suppressing the battle lines behind to maintain order, all noticed this occurrence, whether shocked, incredulous or with a presuming sigh.

Only a very few people knew what this scene represented.

[The veil of Heaven and Earth has been lifted; the Great Dao of the Extreme North Icefield is in turmoil; a Pure Yang Heavenly Lord has intervened... No, they were forced to intervene!]

Chenyinzi said solemnly: [The Frost Calamity itself has been unleashed!]

An Jing witnessed this scene.

Right in the middle of the vast void in the sky north of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, a piece of ice-blue Sword Light shot straight into the sky. This Sword Light was detached and cold, as if it personified all the sorrow and anguish, all the solitude and tranquillity in the world. It was pure to an incredible extent, almost as if it was the Great Dao itself; this Sword Light cleaved the heavens, shattering a segment of the sky canopy, causing endless starlight from the dome of the heavens to pour down like waterfalls, as if heaven was enraged and was about to suppress it.

But it was not truly the heavens.

It was Pure Yang Heavenly Lord who carried out the Heavenly Punishment!

—At the Extreme North Icefield, three Pure Yang Heavenly Lords from the Five Sects of Dust Li, joined hands with Conquering King and Solemn King of Da Chen, as well as the current Taiyuan Demon God, to battle against the three True Demon Venerables of the True Demon Sect that had emerged, and the two Exalted Great Heavenly Demons from the Netherworld. One side sought to once again suppress the Tribulation Soldiers ’Frost Calamity’ from the ancient Venerable Heavenly Demon, while the other side sought to set it free, to break through the Heaven and Earth seal of the Ancient Path Sect.

Not only that.

From the south, the rumbling echo of an earthquake traveled along the Earth Vein, and towering Demonic Qi turned into a dark purple light, tainting all the clouds in the southwest direction.

News gushed like a waterfall over An Jing’s Water Mirror that the previously suppressed Demon Disaster in Hanhai had erupted anew, the sky filled with Demonic Qi, innumerable demons surged forth from the Netherworld, waves of demonic onslaught pressing towards Silver State. The demons that had been suppressed in the great lake of Hanhai had somehow slithered underground and circled back, appearing on the outskirts of the defensive Great Formation; the rapid march launched a surprise attack on the central hub of the local Formation.

When An Jing received the news, the Great Formation set against the Hanhai Demon Disaster had already completely collapsed, and Silver State’s Prefecture Government was encircled tightly, while the reinforcements from seven states were blocked on the other side of the Kuohan Mountain Range. Clearly, this was a premeditated assault with inside help, to the point that even the Tianyi Demon Sect was helping their believers evacuate at this time.

With the renewed shock of the Hanhai Demon Disaster, the Earth Veins beneath the state governments stationed in Han South vibrated and temporarily malfunctioned, severing all contact between the Hannan Path and the outside world!

"An Jing, the time has come."

"Right, I understand. We must also go to war."

Inside the Divine Sea, the Subdue Evil sword hilt vibrated violently, An Jing could feel its excitement — it seemed to have some inexplicable connection with the Frost Calamity. Considering that the Subdue Evil sword hilt was also from an ancient site in the Northern Border of Hanhai, belonging to the Tianyi Demon Sect, the connection between the two might be much greater than imagined.

An Jing exhaled deeply; at this point, even if there was support from the Chenyinzi Grandmaster’s true form in Bright Mirror Sect, it could hardly be swift and timely. And with the renewed outbreak of the Hanhai Demon Disaster, the Northern Martial King and Virtuous King would certainly be dealing with it as their top priority.

With the increasingly intense battles in the Northern Border, Gu Yunzhi wouldn’t have much energy to come to his aid either. His few ’trump cards’ were swept clean in an instant.

Of course, An Jing wouldn’t be so arrogant to assume that all this was the enemy’s plan targeting him, nor would he be so conceited to believe that all major events in this world were related to him and that he had to be involved.

These events had surely been planned for dozens or even hundreds of years in advance, a time when he had not yet been born.

But An Jing wouldn’t belittle himself either.

The Root of Cause and Effect has a long and distant origin, perhaps sprouting and spreading thousands of years ago. But no matter how grand and magnificent the Tree of Cause and Effect, it will ultimately yield the ’Tribulation Fruit,’ awaiting the one fated to pick and resolve it, or else it will fall into the mundane world, stirring boundless waves of suffering.

If nothing else, the side of the Heavenly Demon is already causing troubles now, both the Demon Shedding and the True Demon Sect lurking within Broken Blade Mountain would immediately shatter the seals of Broken Blade Mountain, releasing what is likely part of the origin of the Frost Calamity Venerable — the Exalted Great Heavenly Demon Bitter Silence!

His power, though not enough to confront them directly, is sufficient to make a critical impact in key areas and contain the spread of the great calamity!

Moreover, not only have my side’s reinforcements been lost, the enemy side also lacks reserves — I don’t believe that the True Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demon have much power to target me right now. And over at Da Chen, the officials and generals who have long regarded the Northern Border as easy pickings will definitely be paying close attention to the Hanhai Demon Disaster.

A war is never just about the battlefield itself.

[Eldest Senior!]

At this moment, urgent messages from Cang Linzu also arrived in An Jing’s Water Mirror: [At Yujiang City, the Iron Cavalry under Dust Li have all been mobilized! They seem to have been prepared for a while, and now they are already advancing to the front!]

"Good, I got it."

An Jing immediately forwarded the relevant information to Hang Mofeng. He took a deep breath, sword-like brows appearing on his forehead as he gazed north of Linjiang.

On the broad plains along the river by Broken Blade Mountain, a silent army stiff as iron marched forth, every man and steed clad in intricate Armor engraved with detailed Formation Patterns.

They trod a straight line across the minefield, the momentum of many Martial Artists linking together, their Turbid Evil energy enveloping the area, detonating all landmines within days of distance, flames and hot winds melting the snow and covering the army in a shroud of white steam, escorting them step by step towards Broken Blade Mountain.

On the other side of the plain, thick golden-yellow and silver-white glows reflected against the sky, the Martial Army’s Formation resonating with the Earth Vein, the Martial Army of Da Chen likewise marched forward.

Hang Mofeng’s reply had arrived; he would keep the Iron Cavalry outside Broken Blade Mountain.

Yes, the war has begun.

It’s now.
