Chapter 779 Loss

Chapter 779: Chapter 779 Loss

The six great families’ own Dao Emperors couldn’t directly participate in the war, but the forces they hid in the shadows were extremely powerful.

Each family’s team of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners consisted of a dozen or twenty Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners. These martial artists were either Guest Elders with interests tied to the various families, or they had been selected and slowly nurtured by the families since they were weak to step into the Dao Emperor level.

They all had to listen to the dispatch of their respective families.

The ancestors of the six great families were paying attention to the battle situation in Flowing Light City. They were quite relaxed, chatting and analyzing the situation.

In fact, in their view, Splendid Dojo was bound to lose without a doubt.

They were also fairly familiar with the power of Splendid Dojo. In terms of overall combat power, Splendid Dojo was not weaker than the Gai Family, which had the secret support of their six great families.

However, the issue was that Splendid Dojo was the attacking side, while the Gai Family was the defending side. The Gai Family had the advantage of terrain, with many formations guarding each commandery. These formations alone could consume a lot of power from Splendid Dojo.

Therefore, they believed the Gai Family had more than a ninety percent chance of winning.

If the Gai Family had a very low chance of victory, then the six great families wouldn’t necessarily risk it for the elusive Qiankun Ring. Gu Wanquan claimed the Qiankun Ring was on Jing Yan, and obtaining it would grant an unprecedented inheritance, but this was all said by Gu Wanquan; they could not be sure the Qiankun Ring truly existed and hid the legacy of the Death Temple’s owner.

Because they believed in the Gai Family’s obvious advantage, they agreed to Gu Wanquan’s request and secretly dispatched a powerful team to support the Gai Family.

"Jing Yan is ultimately too young, too impulsive,"

"Yes! If he could calm down and slowly develop the Glory Alliance, his chances of winning would grow!"

"Wait and see! Perhaps within a month, the Glory Alliance will completely collapse. A group of martial artists assembled by interests, once the casualties increase, will easily waver in their hearts. By then, many will likely choose to flee!"

The six people all wore smiles on their faces.

...

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

"Bang! Bang..."

From all four directions of Flowing Light City, the martial artists of Glory Alliance were fiercely attacking the city’s protections.

Inside and outside the city, light shimmered brilliantly as the Guardian Array was suffused with streams of light, pushing the energy of the Advanced Array to its limit under the powerful attacks.

The Attack Array launched potent assaults against the Alliance’s martial artists. Most of the attacks were blocked by the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners, but still, a few assaults required the Dao King Realm martial artists to withstand. Some stronger Dao King Realm practitioners could barely hold them off together.

However, the less powerful Dao King Realm martial artists were in great danger.

In just a short period of time, numerous Dao King Realm martial artists were gravely injured.

Fortunately, they all had access to powerful Healing Pills. Once injured, they immediately retreated and consumed elixirs to heal.

With ample supply of Healing Pills, unless the Dao King Realm martial artists were very unlucky and instantly killed, their lives could be saved.

Within a short span, the losses on the side of the Alliance were not that great.

Jing Yan personally led this team to fiercely attack the City Protection Array.

Holding a black Spiritual Artifact longsword, Jing Yan also exerted his Primordial Energy to the fullest, sending terrifying bursts of Sword Light that continuously struck the Defensive Array’s Energy Shield.

With every strike, parts of the Array would tear open. However, Flowing Light City’s Advanced Arrays were not typically few in number, and even Jing Yan found it challenging to breach multiple Defensive Arrays in a short time.

Moreover, completely destroying an Array was not an easy task. Though Jing Yan could easily tear apart the Array Formation Energy Shield, if he could not locate the Array Base, the Energy Shield would recover to its original state in a relatively short time.

One day later!

"Alliance Hierarch, we have already lost eleven Dao King Realm Practitioners. Besides, one Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner has been seriously injured and will need at least ten days rest before being able to rejoin the battle!" a Hall Master reported the latest battle news to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened!

These losses might not seem very great, but it was important to note that, so far, the Gai Family had not suffered any personnel losses. At most, they had consumed a considerable amount of resources to maintain the operation of the Big Array.

"Alliance Hierarch, should we temporarily halt the assault and let everyone retreat to rest? We’ve consumed a lot of Healing Pills and Essence Energy Recovery Pills," Seventh Hall Master Leng Hongying asked.

"Do not stop, continue the attack!" Jing Yan said resolutely, without hesitation.

"Understood!" Seventh Hall Master Leng Hongying naturally wouldn’t question Jing Yan’s decision.

But among those near Jing Yan, some couldn’t help but worry.

They did not know how long they would have to continue attacking the Big Array in this manner before they could completely destroy the Advanced Arrays inside and outside Flowing Light City. By that time, the losses on the alliance’s side could be enormous!

Three days passed!

The alliance had been attacking Flowing Light City non-stop for three days.

Over thirty Dao King Realm Martial Artists had perished, and even more were injured. About half of the injured had temporarily lost their combat power.

There had also been one unfortunate fall among the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners, with another three injured and temporarily rendered unable to fight.

The fallen Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner, who was at the middle stage of his Cultivation, had been somewhat careless while attacking, coming too close to the Array. He was accidentally trapped by a concealed Binding Array and, after continuous bombardment from the Advanced Array, was ultimately killed.

As the losses mounted, the morale among the alliance’s ranks began to waver. Multiple requests to pause the attack had reached Jing Yan.

However, Jing Yan was very resolute, demanding that the members of the alliance continue to attack.

This situation persisted for a few more days.

"Is that little bastard Jing Yan still not retreating?" Gu Wanquan squinted his eyes as he paced in the Great Hall with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, they have been attacking continuously for seven days!" Gu Jinlan reported.

"How are our Arrays holding up?" Gu Wanquan asked.

"Our Flowing Light City has eleven Advanced Defensive Arrays. As of now, only two have been severely damaged and are unusable. The remaining nine Defensive Arrays are operating normally. However, four out of these also exhibit damage and their power has been greatly reduced. We have already sent four High-level Array Masters to urgently repair the two severely damaged Big Arrays. For Jing Yan to completely break through the city’s Big Array—it’s going to take much longer. But to withstand such attacks, our resource consumption is extremely severe. We’re using tens of thousands of Top-grade Spirit Stones every day!" Gu Jinlan explained.

"Hmph, what’s the big deal about consuming some resources? Let that kid continue his fuss! I want to see how long he can hold on," Gu Wanquan said with a cold laugh.

"The Glory Alliance? They’re just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Just watch, give it another week, and someone’s faith will definitely waver! By then, we’ll see how this little beast Jing Yan responds!" Gu Wanquan said confidently.
