Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 227 War, Attention from All Sides
Black Mountain Pass is the first line of defense for the Great Yu. Now that the army has marched out of the pass, all the soldiers are silently organizing their equipment. The dark mountains make the entire pass appear somewhat gloomy.

Lu Ming glanced in the direction of Dayu and said calmly, "Let's go!"

Given Wu Han and Zhang Mu's personalities, it won't be long before their army besieges the city. He must intercept and kill Lin Mu, Shi Hong, and their skilled men as quickly as possible; only then can the army move freely.

"Have you located Lin Mu and Shi Hong correctly?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been investigated. They are currently facing off on the Blackstone Plains, and almost all the experts from both sides are there," Zhang Meng said hurriedly.

In recent days, the Great Yu has dispatched many experts to investigate.

Many people died in the process of securing their exact location, including a powerful True Immortal.

Lu Ming nodded. "Then let's go."

As soon as the voice fell, the chariot soared into the sky, followed closely by tens of thousands of personal guards.

Besides these, he was accompanied by dozens of True Immortal Realm retainers, all of whom were transferred from various sects.

Among them, the Blood Sea Sect Master is the strongest.

Back when he was in the Beidou Domain, he controlled a large sect. Although it was not as powerful as the seven major sects, its strength was already very close to that of the sect leaders of the seven major sects.

After joining the Great Yu, he was quite loyal to Lu Ming and therefore received a lot of care. Now his cultivation has reached the peak of True Immortal.

Just one step away from becoming a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal).

Therefore, she was able to stay by Lu Ming's side.

This was arguably Lu Ming's first time traveling so far, and what he saw before him was nothing short of shocking.

Perhaps it was because I happened to be there during the sacrificial season.

He discovered that sacrifices were being held in various places. Many families in the city had driven ordinary people outside the city and set up altars, where terrifying and abrupt sacrificial inscriptions were recited.

The killing began.

Millions of people were slaughtered by the butcher's knife, and even their souls were taken away.

Besides these, he also saw several dangerous places occupied by demons and left unattended.

Inside, miasma swirled and blood mist filled the air.

Mountains of white bones, human skin like felt.

Amidst treacherous mountains and treacherous waters, the roars of demons could be heard from time to time.

The roars of the human people.

"It is said that since the destruction of the Human Dynasty, the Immortal Realm has become the domain of the strong, with no rules to speak of. As long as one is strong, one can kill at will. Over the years, countless people have died at the hands of the strong of various races and even their own race."

Zhang Meng said cautiously.

Even after years of fighting, his heart had hardened like iron, and his face looked rather grim.

Looking back now, compared to the Immortal Realm, the Big Dipper Realm was so much happier back then.

"Yes, the human race has become a huge piece of meat, and everyone wants to tear off a piece. Moreover, the human race does not have its own saints, and no one will stand up for us, which has led to the current situation."

Even the Humanity Dynasty, a force that posed only a slight threat to those powerful figures, was suppressed and destroyed.

Lu Ming said calmly.

He knew that his future path would be difficult, and that he might not even reach the end, but he did not want his descendants to become fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Therefore, he is now even more determined to establish the Humanitarian Dynasty.

At this very moment, inside the Shangqing Palace.

Qingxiao, however, opened the Xuan Guang Mirror and was checking the movements of the Great Yu. She would take it out to check when she had nothing to do, since it was too boring on Golden Light Island.

Moreover, besides Da Yu, she also visits other places.

But now there is another Great Yu.

However, as soon as she opened it, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

The Dayu army actually launched an attack on other territories of Donglin Prefecture.

Judging from the scene, the Great Yu should be the one taking the initiative to attack.

This made her uneasy.

Putting everything else aside, Lin Mu and Shi Hong are both experts. How could Lu Ming possibly be their match with his current cultivation level?

Moreover, given the resources and capabilities of the Great Yu Kingdom, it was absolutely impossible for it to dominate an entire prefecture.

After all, apart from the celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, one can't even dream of controlling a prefecture without the cultivation of a Golden Immortal.

Otherwise, even if it is breached, it will be difficult to hold.

With that thought in mind, he tapped his finger on the mirror.

She was going to check where Lu Ming was now.

However, when he pointed his finger out, he found that he couldn't find the other party's trace at all.

Then he remembered that even a sage couldn't predict his junior brother's fate, so it was obviously impossible for him to lock onto him.

Therefore, he immediately stood up and walked towards the main hall of the Shangqing Sect Master.

I want to tell the other party this news.

But just as they arrived at the door, the voice of the Shangqing Sage rang out.

"I already know about your junior brother's situation. Let him fight if he wants to. Just be prepared to clean up his mess."

Clearly, even the sage Shangqing did not have a high opinion of this battle.

However, since the disciple was confident, I couldn't stop him; I could only let him experience some setbacks.

Once they suffer a defeat, they'll know to lie low for the rest of their lives.

If the impact is limited to one prefecture, Qingxiao can still be saved.

If it comes to a bigger event in the future, I might have to make a personal appearance.

What a loss! It's better to suffer the consequences sooner rather than later.

After all, in the early stages of a prosperous era, those who could conquer a prefecture were all exceptionally talented.

With Lu Ming's cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to achieve this.

Anyone who sees this would find it impossible.

"Yes, Master!"

After hearing what the Sage of Shangqing said.

Qingxiao didn't think any further and then retreated.

Meanwhile, in a grand hall of the Xuanhuang Sect, Lu Hui had obviously also received this news.

During this time, he kept a close eye on Lu Ming, especially after the disciples he sent out never returned, he knew they must have fallen into Lu Ming's hands.

They worry that the other person will find out what they've guessed and come looking for them.

Therefore, he never dared to be careless. Now, after hearing that Dayu had launched an attack on Lin Mu and Shi Hong in order to unify the entire Donglin Prefecture, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered to himself, "I was thinking about how to deal with you, but now that you've asked for your own death, I can finally relax."

Then, he entered the secret chamber to prepare for seclusion.

Recently, he has shown signs of a breakthrough.

If one can reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, one's status may also rise to a higher level.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming, after traveling for several days, arrived at the far reaches of the Blackstone Plain.

It is called Blackstone Plain because the surface of the entire plain is covered with a large number of black stones in an uneven manner.

Therefore, especially when the sky is overcast, the entire plain appears more gloomy than other places.

Lu Ming stood at the edge of the plain.

His gaze was fixed on the distance.

A moment later, a figure flew over.

It was the Blood Sea Sect Master. Upon arriving, he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we have already investigated everything. Lin Mu and Shi Hong know that we have launched an attack, so both sides have mobilized a large number of troops to return to their respective border defenses."

Lin Mu and Shi Hong stayed behind to cover the rear and prevent a sneak attack. Now, each of them had few men left, totaling less than 100,000. Of these, only about 3,000 were elite Celestial Immortals, the rest below that level.

Upon hearing the report, Lu Ming's lips curled up involuntarily.

If these are the only people, a frontal attack will suffice.

There's no need for me to hide anything.

Thinking of this, a solemn look appeared in his eyes. "Target: Lin Mu's base. Let's attack."

Led by Lu Ming, the elite of the Ten Thousand Celestial Realm, accompanied by more than Fifty True Immortal experts, might not be a match for a hegemon who occupies a prefecture, but they would be more than enough to deal with Lin Mu.

Even if Shi Hong wanted to join, he would surely die.

"Roar!" The chariot started moving the next moment, rushing forward at an extreme speed.

A large army followed behind.

After they arrived outside Lin Mu's camp.

The other side had obviously already noticed Lin Mu, who was standing in mid-air, clad in silver armor.

Behind him stood tens of thousands of soldiers, their spears pointed directly at Lu, who roared, "Emperor Yu, do you know the consequences of opposing me? I represent the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing his words, a hint of indifference appeared in Lu Ming's eyes.

"So what if it's the Heavenly Court? Kill them!"

As his orders were given.

"boom!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the army of Dayu immediately charged out.

Zhang Mu stood in the air, holding a long sword in his hand.

He raised the sword with both hands and slashed downwards.

The heavenly soldiers who had just come to meet him were actually cleaved in two by his single strike. Although these were only trained in the lower realm and could not compare to real heavenly soldiers, it was enough to show Zhang Mu's strength.

Lu Ming, standing to the side, had a grim expression on his face.

A spear appeared in his hand, and he stared at Lin Mu without saying a word.

"Whoosh!" The weapon slashed down instantly.

It collided with the air, producing a sound like waves rippling.

When the sharp point lands.

Lin Mu had already been smashed into the pit, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Lu Ming was incredibly strong; he was a fierce man who had withstood the disciples of saints and fought his way through countless disciples of major sects.

How can a forest shed be compared to this?

Shi Hong, who was opposite the garrison, did not see this scene, but he had already discovered that the Dayu army was attacking Lin Mu's garrison.

The general standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Sir, should we charge in?"

Shi Hong did not claim the title of king, so his subordinates generally called him "Sir".

After the voice rang out, the other person raised an eyebrow and said, "What's the rush? They're both our enemies. Who should we help? Let's wait until they've decided who's the winner."

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Shall we bring that secret treasure?"

As a disciple of the Tianheng Sect, he exchanged for a secret treasure within the sect when he left.

Named the Yin-Yang Talisman, it releases Yin and Yang energies when swung at an enemy, making it extremely powerful.

Even a Taiyi True Immortal could be instantly killed by such an attack, unless they were a top-tier prodigy.

It was also his trump card for survival.

Normally, it is kept in its own residence and it is reluctant to be taken out.

After arriving at Blackrock Plains this time, I planned to graze in Yinlin, so I had someone fetch it for me.

The general heard the sound.

He quickly handed the talisman to Shi Hong.

Although he had heard that Lu Ming was not very strong, he still felt a sense of unease for some reason.

Meanwhile, in Lin Muxian's camp, after the enemy's death in battle...

His men were no longer able to resist.

In less than an hour, most of them were dead or wounded, and the rest began to scatter and flee.

Lu Ming ignored them.

They were just some of his subordinates; let them escape. For him, it no longer affected the overall situation.

Then, staring at Shi Hong's camp, he said, "Leave three thousand men to wipe out the remaining enemy forces; the rest of you, follow me and kill your way out!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Shi Hong's camp.

Zhang Mu, the Blood Sea Sect Master, and others followed closely behind.

Shi Hong, dressed in black armor, saw Lu Ming.

Without further ado, he threw the Yin-Yang talisman in his hand directly.

"Stab!"

Then, the two intertwined beams of light crashed into Lu Ming.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, the Blood Sea Sect Master actually stood in front of Lu Ming.

This scene was unexpected for the latter. Although the Yin and Yang energies were powerful, he was able to withstand them with his strength.

However, he truly hadn't expected the Blood Sea Sect to be so loyal.

After all, even a typical Taiyi True Immortal couldn't withstand this talisman, let alone the opponent who was just a True Immortal.

Moreover, there's not enough time to consider it in such a short period of time.

Without further ado, before the Yin and Yang energies clashed, Lu Ming flung the Blood Sea Ancestor aside with his spear and then unleashed a palm strike.

"Boom!" A massive palm print floated forward, filled with the power of thunder.

It instantly shattered the yin and yang energies.

However, the Blood Sea Sect Master was still too close and was affected.

One of his left arms exploded.

There was a look of pain on his face.

Lu Ming frowned at this moment, and then looked at Shi Hong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The spear slashed straight down, locking onto the opponent firmly.

At this moment, Shi Hong felt a ferocious beast from the primordial era charging towards him.

It was too late to escape.

"Crack!"

His body was split in two in an instant.

Lu Ming's personal guards charged forward, smashing through Shi Hong's camp in an instant.

Although the Blood Sea Sect Master was injured, he did not retreat.

At this moment, he suddenly grabbed a long sword and charged forward again.

Lu Ming did not continue to fight.

Instead, they landed on the ground. By this time, the overall situation was settled, and the important thing was to improve the cultivation of their subordinates.

After Donglin Prefecture was captured, they managed to retain their territory.

Next, I opened the system shop to exchange for some supplies.
