Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 856 - 835: The Tu Shan Maiden Corps Overwhelms the Northern Plains Army

Forty-two years ago, the Tu Shan Maiden Corps expelled and annihilated the remnants of the Blood King Army, taking possession of the entire prairie governed by the Righteous and Demonic Alliance.

At that time, due to the restrictions of the causal skill by the Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, which had lasted for ten thousand years, the vast prairie outside the Fourth-Order Spiritual Veins was under the rule of the Tu Shan Maidens.

They established grassroots governance, collected taxes, conscripted soldiers, and trained new recruits… managing the Righteous and Demonic Alliance prairie as tightly sealed as a drum.

The Northern Plains Families were trapped within the Fourth-Order Spiritual Veins and mines, becoming isolated islands in a vast ocean, cut off from inside and out.

The Immortals of Nascent Soul from the Northern Plains Families were furious, but could only fume in anger.

In fact, even without the restriction of the causal skill by Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, mid-stage and later stage Nascent Soul cultivators were not a match for tens of thousands of Tu Shan maids.

Only Peak Nascent Soul cultivators or a large group of Immortals of Nascent Soul working together could contend with the military formation of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps, who had long stopped being regarded by them as a minor force that could easily be wiped out.

Under these circumstances, the Tu Shan Maiden Corps entered the King's Court Blessed Land, confronting the army formations of the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect for several years.

Later, the Tu Shan Maidens' war with the Great Sun Sword Sect, known for their belligerence, erupted.

The Great Sun Dharma Sect observed the battle from the sidelines, neither joining forces.

This was to be expected.

The enmity between the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect even surpassed that of the Righteous and Demonic Alliance families; they would rather kill each other personally than lend a hand.

Furthermore, even if the Righteous and Demonic Alliance army collapsed, the Great Sun Dharma Sect and the Great Sun Sword Sect did not take the Tu Shan Maiden Corps seriously enough to consider taking the considerable risk of setting aside their grievances to join forces once more.

Why not? Because they were the true powers that had fought countless bloody battles and ended the dominance of the Northern Plains Families!

Disciples of both sects were extremely proud and did not take this loose cultivator force, which had sprung up from nowhere and lacked any background, seriously.

Their real opponents had always been each other, always on guard against one another.

When the Tu Shan Maidens chose to attack the army of the Scorching Sun Swordsman led by the Great Sun Sword Sect, the Great Sun Law Children and a host of sect Immortals of Nascent Soul were excited.

They believed the situation had become clear, and the Great Sun Dharma Sect would emerge as the ultimate victor of this King's Court war, with their sect's Nascent Soul hastening to birth and the domination of the Northern Plains within reach.

The result, however, was beyond everyone's expectation.

The army of the Great Sun Sword Sect, which boasted unparalleled swordsmanship, led by the Sword Madman, the Northern Plains Elite Scorching Sun Swordsman, with numerous Sword Intent swordsmen, took to the field with a million Swordsman Cultivators.

Their opponent was merely a loose cultivator force, with only one hundred and eighty thousand in number, a tenfold numerical advantage.

The victory should have been as easy as demolishing decayed wood.

Throughout history, there had never been a lack of such loose cultivator forces rising from the bottom, arrogantly and ignorantly challenging their betters, flourishing momentarily; but as soon as they caught the attention of a real major force, they would swiftly perish without exception.

This had happened repeatedly throughout history.

Yet, the reality dealt the Sword Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect a massive mockery.

The million Swordsman Cultivators were annihilated effortlessly by the hundred and eighty thousand Tu Shan Maids!

On the frontal military battlefield, the two were not even on the same level, like a child dueling an adult.

At that time, the hundred and eighty thousand Heaven Light Dao Troops with their Flying Swords filled the sky, with spring, summer, autumn, and winter, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and sunlight, nine phenomena, nine Domain cycles, the military formation's pressure reaching for the heavens, altering the color of the sky, with no light from the sun or moon.

The swarming Flying Swords of the Great Sun Sword Sect, upon entering their ranks, were instantaneously eradicated and shattered.

The Scorching Sun Swordsman and a group of Sword Intent swordsmen of the Great Sun Sword Sect refused to accept defeat and led the charge personally. With a single sword, they struck out but were instantly bloodied and seriously injured by the thunder, with over half of the Sword Intent swordsmen dead or injured.

They were completely outmatched!

At that time, the Immortals of Nascent Soul from the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect were watching the battlefield, focusing on this King's Court battle that would determine the fate of their sect.

When the military formation of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps appeared, they were all shocked, their complexion ashen.

This was not just a fight between juniors!

```

Even they, if they charged in with less than fifteen people, would immediately perish, at most they could only escape with their Nascent Souls. If they dared to dally even a little, unable to let go of the pride of their senior Immortals, even their Nascent Souls might perish!

The Scorching Sun Swordsman fled with grave injuries!

The Great Sun Sword Sect's King's Court army collapsed!

Following close behind was the Great Sun Dharma Sect's King's Court army.

They were originally watching the debacle, looking to reap the benefits as onlookers, many Cultivators had already begun fantasizing about the various opportunities of the King's Court war, dreaming of how they would ascend to Nascent Souls and rule over their own Sects.

However, to their disbelief, the battle situation changed drastically in a short period of time, and the Great Sun Sword Army of a million soldiers completely collapsed.

Among the ground littered with corpses and blood, the fierce Tu Shan Maidens marched towards them, with 108,000 Daoist Soldiers' Flying Swords filling the sky, and the nine types of army formations of wind, rain, thunder, spring, summer, fall, winter, and sunlight creating an array that blotted out the heavens and the earth.

The Great Sun Law Child tried to resist, but in the blink of an eye, he was swallowed by the Tu Shan army formation and had no choice but to abandon his troops and flee in a frenzy.

Within a mere few months,

Both the Great Sun Sword Sect's and the Great Sun Dharma Sect's King's Court armies completely collapsed and were annihilated!

The Tu Shan Maiden Corps absorbed the prisoners without increasing the number of Daoist Soldiers, but the number of Golden Pill Monks among the 108,000 Daoist Soldiers nearly tripled, all of whom were Loose Cultivator Golden Pills, small forces' Golden Pills from the Great Sun Sword Sect and Great Sun Dharma Sect.

Among the Maidens, Golden Pill Cultivators became a common sight.

The Tu Shan Maiden Corps defeated every Sect, every family's army, all forces involved in the King's Court war!

However,

Did this mean they had won all the victories of the King's Court war?

"Individual combat strength and mobility..."

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

The strength of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps was already proven.

Invincible!

What about the Six Dao Saint, the Ice Snow Holy Maiden, the Guiju Saint, the Scorching Sun Swordsman, the Great Sun Law Child... These were elite Golden Pills, Cultivators who were almost guaranteed to become Nascent Souls if they had Nascent Soul Cultivation Methods.

In the direct battlefield, they were no match at all.

However, the battlefield wasn't just made up of direct confrontation.

Unwilling to let loose Cultivators monopolize all the opportunities of the Court's Blessed Land, the Great Sun Sword Sect, Great Sun Dharma Sect, the Righteous and Demonic Alliance, and even solo male Cultivator powerhouses like Blood Cloud were compelled to unite.

They had no large armies left as they had all collapsed, and the hastily organized troops were easily shattered.

Thus, their tactic was to avoid direct combat entirely, targeting Tu Shan Maiden Corps' logistics, small-scale troops, and the regions they governed.

They formed small teams of Cultivators, sometimes just one or two, sometimes a dozen or so, employing assassination, poisoning, ambushes, anything they could, leaving the Tu Shan Maidens harassed and at a loss.

They could only endure and wait in a difficult situation.

Small troops, when encountering elite Cultivators from Sects and families, would perish in an instant, unable to fend for themselves.

Large-scale troops, such as a section of Daoist Soldiers ten thousand and eight hundred strong, would just see the enemy instantly flee and couldn't catch up; even the fastest Tu Shan Maidens from the Xun Wind Section were no different.

Exasperated, Maidens like Chun Jian and Hei Louxi could only turn their hopes towards Han Lin, their only Golden Pill Elite.

Without a word, he simply said, "Fellow Daoists, remember to bring me the Court's Blessed Land Token," and then he instantly went into hiding.

As if it was a joke.

So many elite Golden Pills, he would be insane to try and stop them.
