Chapter 365: Chapter 364: Seven Days of Consecutive Defeats

Jia Yueguan, the last defense line of the Southern Region, was a majestic city on the vast terrain of the Southern Region.

Early the next day, Lin Bai appeared outside of Jia Yueguan.

Last night, he had handed his horse over to the messenger for help, telling him to rush to the Imperial Capital urgently and to meet with His Majesty, urging him to send reinforcements.

What Lin Bai didn’t know was that as soon as the messenger arrived at the Imperial Capital, he was discovered by the men of Prince Qi and discreetly disposed of, not even seeing His Majesty.

After riding throughout the night, Lin Bai arrived at the base of Jia Yueguan.

At this moment at the gate of Jia Yueguan, countless martial artists hurriedly moved towards the city gate, heading towards the Imperial City of Shenwu Kingdom.

These were all martial artists fleeing for their lives, their cultivation levels all below the Earth Martial Realm.

Martial artists below the Earth Martial Realm had absolutely no chance against the armored cavalry of Dayue Kingdom.

Lin Bai went against the flow and entered Jia Yueguan.

Within Jia Yueguan, martial artists wearing heavy armor and holding long spears were on patrol back and forth, not putting their guard down at all.

The army was stationed at Jia Yueguan, and at this moment, all sorts of food, resources, spiritual medicines and ores were being transported there.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai."

Just as Lin Bai was silently walking around in Jia Yueguan, he suddenly heard a shout of surprise.

Lin Bai looked back and saw a handsome man, dressed in linen armor, with his hair tied up, his eyes bright and spirited, resembling a young god of war, imposing and awe-inspiring.

"Li Jianxing, why are you dressed like this?" Lin Bai smiled faintly.

"It really is you, Lin Bai. You’ve finally come. This is the linen armor prepared by the First Princess for us. It is said to resist the attacks of common Third Grade Spiritual Weapons." Li Jianxing responded excitedly.

"You’re finally here. I thought you weren’t coming."

Li Jianxing patted Lin Bai and exclaimed.

Lin Bai laughed, "As soon as I came back to the Spirit Sword Sect, I heard that the frontier was in urgent need. I immediately came without delay. How are things now? Have the disciples of the Four Major Sects joined the battle?"

Li Jianxing’s face darkened a bit, "Yes. Dayue Kingdom refuses to accept Shenwu Kingdom’s offer of negotiation through martial arts competition. They plan to force their way in, seemingly wanting to swallow Shenwu Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"Since they refuse the martial arts competition, the disciples of our Four Major Sects can only enter the war directly."

Lin Bai asked, "Which disciples from the Four Major Sects have arrived?"

Li Jianxing answered, "Quite a few. Almost all the martial artists from our Spirit Sword Sect who are at least of the Earth Martial Realm are here."

"As for the Canghai Yuntai Palace, Wu Jian, one of the Inner Four Emperors, has been here for more than ten days. However, he has never taken any action."

"The Fire Palace sent the Fire Spirit! He is the second genius of the Fire Palace and a master of fire attribute cultivation skills, reaching a peak level of skill."

"The Edgeless Sect did not send anyone."

"As for our Spirit Sword Sect, since Su Cang is breaking through in retreat, the ones who came were core martial artists, Ye Mobei."

"Not only the disciples are involved. The main dispute is among the Elders. Two of our ten Elders from Spirit Sword Sect are here, Elders Ji Bei and Ji Bai."

"And the Canghai Yuntai Palace sent Murong Qi and more than a hundred Elders of the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer."

Upon learning this, Lin Bai couldn’t help but feel a chill inside.

Each of Wu Jian, Fire Spirit, and Ye Mobei was an absolute genius.

Each one of them was extremely powerful.

Wu Jian, known as one of the Inner Four Emperors in the Canghai Yuntai Palace, has terrifying strength and is also a master on the Shenwu Genius List.

Fire Spirit, the second son of the Palace Master of the Fire Palace, and also known as the second genius of the Fire Palace. As a master on the Shenwu Genius List, he possesses superior power comparable to his level.

Ye Mobei, one of the nine core martial artists of the Spirit Sword Sect, had an unfathomable level of cultivation. He spends most of his time traveling outside the sect. When he returned to the sect for the Core Martial Artist Assessment, the war broke out, so he came to the frontier with the fleet."

Ji Bai and Ji Bei, both among the top ten Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect, with their cultivation nearing the half-step Divine Pill realm, had undoubtedly become the mainstays here.

Murong Qi, who also stood at the half-step Divine Pill state, was an old Elder of the Canghai Yuntai Palace and trusted deeply by the other few grand Elders and the sect leader of the Canghai Yuntai Palace. His cultivation was also alarmingly exceptional.

"There are also many more unparalleled masters that are uncountable," Lijian Xing said.

Lin Bai simply nodded, "Where is the First Princess? I need to meet her."

Hearing Lin Bai, Lijian Xing was shocked awake and said with a stunned face, "Oh no, I nearly forgot the crucial matter."

"Lin Bai, the First Princess is currently in front of the formation, conversing with Tuoba Feng, the prince of Dayue Kingdom."

"You wouldn’t know, the martial art sects in Dayue Kingdom have sent challengers these days and have consecutively won for ten days. Meanwhile, the spirit of Shenwu Kingdom has completely diminished, and the military’s morale is scattered."

Lin Bai asked, "What happened? Tell me about it."

Lijian Xing replied, "Let’s go, we’ll talk on top of the city wall."

"Talk while we walk."

While walking with Lijian Xing, he explained to Lin Bai.

Tuoba Feng was the second Prince of Dayue Kingdom and also an exceptional master in Dayue Kingdom’s genius list.

In recent years, there were frequent rumors about the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom’s dwindling life span. As a result, to win his father’s favor, Tuoba Feng launched a personal expedition towards Shenwu Kingdom by the end of the year.

Thus, the current war between states occurred.

After Dayue Kingdom breached the Nanning Pass, the four Major Sects of Shenwu Kingdom began to join the battle, and by this time, the Martial Art Sects of Dayue Kingdom also began to engage in the war.

The quantity of Martial Art Sects in Dayue Kingdom was less than that of Shenwu Kingdom.

Dayue Kingdom only had one super sect, the Shengyue Sect.

The Shengyue Sect was undoubtedly the most powerful Martial Art Sect in Dayue Kingdom, under ruler-like control, any faction that just popped up would be swallowed by the Shengyue Sect.

As a result, the Shengyue Sect now had close to five hundred thousand disciples, over a hundred thousand inner disciples, more than a thousand core martial artists, and nearly three thousand members of the Elder Pavilion.

The foundation of such a sect even overshadowed the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

The levels within the Shengyue Sect were exceptionally strict. The warriors who had surpassed the Heaven Martial Realm were eligible to become inner sect martial artists. And only those above the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer were qualified to compete for the position of core martial artists.

For this state war, the Shengyue Sect dispatched nearly ten thousand inner sect martial artists to the frontier. At the same time, seven hundred core martial artists and five hundred elders followed along.

The Shengyue Sect mobilized so many masters, as if they intended to help Tuoba Feng swallow Shenwu Kingdom.

After breaking through Nanning Pass, Tuoba Feng’s army rampaged through the southern region.

Afterward, Tuoba Feng stationed his army outside Jia Yueguan, facing First Princess Bai Xiaoxiao.

Jia Yueguan was harder to breach compared to Nanning Pass. Plus, with abundant military supplies, cultivation resources, and miraculous elixirs inside the city, it was enough for the army of Shenwu Kingdom to hold on for a month.

So in order to force the First Princess into battle, the Shengyue Sect would send a champion to call for a battle in front of the formation every day.

Starting from seven days before, no matter how many masters from the four Major Sects the Shenwu Kingdom had sent into the battle, all were defeated without exception.

After suffering defeats for seven days straight, Bai Xiaoxiao was stuck like a thunderbolt, the morale of Shenwu Kingdom shattered, the momentum was completely lost. Even the soldiers on the city wall thought that Shenwu Kingdom might be facing annihilation after seven days of defeat.

After seven continuous days of defeat, a portion of the soldiers in the army started to waver and fled from Jia Yueguan.

The number of soldiers who escaped the army during these seven days exceeded one hundred thousand!

Seven days of continuous defeat, the military’s morale was scattered.

And today, was the eighth day.

Just like before, the army of Dayue Kingdom was calling for battle outside of Jia Yueguan.
