Destiny is ashes

Chapter 441: Chenli Iron Cavalry
If it were someone else, the focus would definitely be on aspects such as the "sect competition", "five sects martial arts test", "three-year agreement", and "internal targeting".

But An Jing only grasped the real point after hearing the whole thing, and his eyebrows immediately lit up: "There is a whole mountain left for me to farm?"

[Farming? ]

Chen Yinzi was a little puzzled, and An Jing coughed and said, "Grandmaster, you also know that I am from the An family in Gufeng County... I say it is a poor family, but in fact I just farm and herd in the countryside, and occasionally do some small business."

"As the name of Gufeng County suggests, my family is best at farming. We even have some skills in growing spiritual plants, but we are unable to use them because of the poverty in the northern border."

“So, when I thought about going to the Mingjing Sect and finding a mountain where I could experiment with my family’s spiritual plant skills, I immediately became excited.”

[So that's how it is] After hearing this, Chen Yinzi understood, but he still explained: [But Mingguang Peak is not really just one peak, but an area carved out from the Jiankong Mountain Range, roughly... about the same size as the area around Duanren Mountain]

After casually describing the astonishing size, Chen Yinzi said in a casual tone: [The place where the earth veins in this area converge is Mingguang Peak. The top of the mountain is the peak master, which is the residence of the saintly True Lord like me and Guangchen. The bottom of the mountain is the main hall, where you, the true disciple, live. Both places can control the formation and mobilize the power of the local earth veins and sea with a thought to respond to Jiankong Zufeng.]

[However, the blessed lands and caves left by the immortals and sages of the other eight peaks have made their ancestral lands extremely prosperous, while Mingguang Peak is a newly-born peak, and most of it is wild mountainous areas with weak earth veins and no spiritual land.]

[If you want to plant some spiritual plants to cultivate your body and mind, it's easy. Just pick a piece of land.]

——Isn’t this better!

An Jing almost jumped for joy when he heard this - an area as big as the Broken Blade Mountains belonged to him? God knows, doesn't this mean that he can plant spiritual plants there at will and build a Tianyuan Realm production line without anyone caring?
I was just thinking about how to get a base, and here it comes! Master Ming Guangchen is not here, and no one from above cares about him. Even if he is here, it is highly likely that no one will care. And the master seems to be a kind-hearted person who protects his shortcomings, so it doesn't matter if he makes a big move!
The An family naturally had no skills in growing spiritual plants. An Jing only planned to transfer the evergreen trees and some spiritual plants from the Tianyuan Realm to the Huaixu Realm.

To avoid suspicion, lay the groundwork with some family craftsmanship in advance.

Anyway, Gu Fengan's family was almost wiped out, so it was a good opportunity for him to read the history books!

[An Jing, don't be too careless]

Seeing that An Jing seemed to be concentrating on farming, Chen Yinzi coughed and reminded him: [The hard condition for my sect's true teaching is the martial vein.]

[Your physical body is comparable to your martial veins, but the true strength of your martial veins lies not in your body, but in your martial vein body formation.]

[Although in my opinion, if you advance, your strength will not be inferior to that of senior martial artists, and it will be easy for you to win a place, but you must not be arrogant and careless.]

"I understand." An Jing answered in his heart: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to complete the five divine powers this year and find the opportunity to open my martial veins."

Starting from the time he followed the Tianyi Demon Sect to the northwest, An Jing spent two years laying a solid foundation, from the realm of mind and body skills all the way to the three supernatural powers of inner strength, without any bottlenecks from beginning to end.

After two enlightenments, his martial arts path was unobstructed and he only needed to practice. By the time he arrived at the Mingjing Sect, he would have achieved martial arts!

Chen Yinzi couldn't deny this either. An Jing's confidence made him very happy: [That's it - in short, what this kid from the Gu family said is not wrong, but the situation is not as bad as he said.]

[I am curious, who in my Mingjing Sect gave him the information? How could he, a Dachen, know so much about the situation in my Sect? Although his granddaughter does have some skills, she is definitely not suitable to be a spy.]

——Ha, I’m afraid he is your good disciple and my good master.

An Jingxin said.

If it was really as he guessed, besides Ming Guangchen, there must be a group of younger people in Mingjing Sect who were familiar with Ming Guangchen and had connections with King Jing. If Gu Yunzhi inherited these connections, it would not be surprising that he could arrange Gu Yeqi to join the sect and gain access to the internal intelligence of the various peaks.

"Apart from the problems within the Mingjing Sect, Linjiang City where you are now is also facing a disaster." In reality, Gu Yunzhi was also using cold energy to create illusions and show An Jing the situation around Broken Blade Mountain.

The information he brought was the same as Chen Yinzi's, but more detailed: "Under King Ju Guang's command, three Chen Li cavalry units have already headed south, conquering three cities and twelve towns along the way, and are heading towards the Broken Blade Mountains."

Upon hearing this, An Jing did not feel anything, because although the victory results sounded like a lot, in fact, it was only an area as big as the Broken Blade Mountains.

But what happened next was the scene where Gu Yunzhi appeared, which moved him.

In the illusion, three groups of Chenli cavalry came with tremendous murderous aura and rolling black wind. Gray and leaden clouds covered the sky and easily surrounded the Dachen city.

An Jing recognized this city. It was the big city in the northwest of Hanhai [Kuoyu City]. There were three martial veins in this city, a civil official guarding the formation, two masters attacking, and nearly a thousand martial guards and nearly ten thousand defenders. It was truly impregnable.

But who would have known that among these three cavalry units, one was practicing the Wilderness Martial Formation. This elite force, which had been reborn after hundreds of battles with the Hanbei and Dachen border armies, took only one day to set up the formation flags, which triggered an earthquake and temporarily cut off the earth veins, causing the earth energy around Kuoyu City to surge into the sky, but not a single bit of it could flow into the city.

The earthquake not only cut off the earth's veins, but also destroyed a part of the city wall, causing half of the city to collapse, and killing and injuring countless soldiers and civilians in Kuoyu City.

When Kuoyu Chengzheng and the two masters saw this, they realized that it was meaningless to defend the city. They organized a group of elite troops, intending to break through the blockade and behead the commander of the main formation of the Wasteland Iron Cavalry.

All of a sudden, groups of chariots rushed out of the city, stirring up a huge cloud of snow and dust. More than ten shuttles broke through the air and rushed towards the enemy at full speed.

However, there were already enemy ambushes hidden in the ice and snow. When the shuttles passed by, countless ice blades and ice spears shot out from the ice and snow on the hills along the way, like rain and tides, pouring back into the sky, destroying all the shuttles and scattering them into debris all over the sky. Many chariots were also submerged by the avalanche, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

Although the shuttle technology is not strong, the Tieli tribe has long had a set of skills to deal with low-flying shuttles, especially during the frost disaster, when the power of frost magic has doubled. Even if the shuttle escapes into the clouds, it is inevitable to be tracked and shot down.

After this battle, a martial arts master was killed and the morale of the defenders of Kuoyu City was completely destroyed. They fled in all directions and divided into dozens of teams, intending to pass intelligence to the surrounding towns and let them gather superior forces to destroy the enemy.

But the third group of cavalry were good at taking advantage of the wind to launch surprise attacks. They had been lurking around the city to record the movements of each team. They moved silently, and before they knew it, more than half of the teams were wiped out.

In less than half a week, the big city of Kuoyu City had almost all its resistance completely eliminated and fell into the hands of Tie Li.

An Jing watched the whole process with a frown on his face.

"Without the Heavenly Warriors, many of the divine weapons have been moved away, and the earth veins are too fragile."

He said slowly: "The earth-shaking formation, like the previous Kuoyu City, will at most make the earth vein formation malfunction for half a day. However, under the protection of the divine soldiers, this city is equivalent to being guarded by a divine treasure. The Tieli people will have no chance of breaking in."

"But the removal of the divine soldiers was too fatal. The soldiers and civilians of Kuoyu City had no idea how to fight without the divine soldiers guarding them, so they were easily defeated by the experienced Tieli cavalry."

"Also, where did this information come from? How come it's like seeing it with your own eyes?"

"This information is thanks to your junior brother Cang Lin Zu."

Gu Yunzhi said: "If it weren't for his ability to see through the dark, we would have no idea that the Iron Li elite had actually reached a level comparable to the Great Chen Wu Army - over the years, we have really underestimated the technological progress of the Chen Li side."

"And now, this battle-hardened cavalry with rich experience in siege and encirclement is heading towards Broken Blade Mountain."

"An Jing, how are you going to deal with this?"
