Chapter 776 Triple Barrier

Zhu Xiufu had just entered the ancient battlefield.

One after another, strands of magical power containing whispered thoughts pierced towards where Yue Hanzhang was.

Meanwhile, Yue Hanzhang leisurely leaped up from the mountain peak where he was sitting cross-legged. He used his magical power to bind his thoughts and respond to each one, while nodding to the Venerable Kings.

This is different from before.

Previously, when the ordinary ancestors and kings of the moderate families entered the ancient battlefield, Yue Hanzhang had no intention or desire to pay them any attention.

His strength and status have already surpassed those of ordinary ancestral kings from these top aristocratic families.

Only those such as heads of aristocratic families, and those who are Venerable Kings of secret Daoist lineages and those who have reached the later stages of cultivation in the universal top-level Daoist path, remain.

These individuals are considered to be on par with Yue Hanzhang in terms of both strength and status.

Of them, seven or eight out of ten were stationed in the ancient battlefield to be like Yue Hanzhang, stationed deep in the rear of the human race's defense line.

Only a few powerful and less prestigious kings would still participate in the bloody battle. However, these individuals, like the merchant strategist, were often the pillars that could stabilize the overall situation on a certain front.

Yue Hanzhang treated them with great respect.

Similarly, the princes of these moderate families also treated Yue Hanzhang with great respect.

Their connection transcended mere empty pleasantries; family heads like Jiang, Sang, and Shi even inquired about Yue Hanzhang's arrangements for their assigned locations.

no way.

The semi-breakup between Wang Xiaoyu and the Tao family head came too suddenly.

Yue Hanzhang did not consult with any of the cultivators from the moderate aristocratic families before publicly proclaiming the decree.

Their arrival at the ancient battlefield was far too hasty and completely unprepared.

At this moment, facing this ancient and bloody narrow star belt, they were completely at a loss for what to do.

Moreover, they did not want to cause any unnecessary friction with the mainstays of other moderate families over such trivial matters.

Especially at a time when the conservative families were embroiled in infighting.

Even the slightest friction is quite noticeable.

And then he faced the questions from the cultivators.

Although Yue Hanzhang's decision was also made on a whim by Wang Xiaoyu's sudden actions today.

But in the blink of an eye...

The list of the various kings who had taken up residence appeared in his mind, as did the map of the entire ancient battlefield and the current battle situation between the two races.

Buzz-buzz-

In the blink of an eye, the chaotic dynamic algorithm began to run.

Now, this surging computing power and highly efficient model are already able to optimize Yue Hanzhang's terrifying and supreme killing techniques.

At this moment, completing a personnel arrangement plan that takes into account all parties and strives to satisfy everyone is naturally an easy task.

then.

Between the breaths of the practitioners asking questions.

As if without any thought, Yue Hanzhang used his mental voice to decide who would stay in the rear and who would participate in the bloody battle.

Each of the participating kings was responsible for a particular section of the battlefront.

Who were in charge of the various locations where these kings, who were stationed in the rear, were located, as well as the other locations around them, at different distances?

All of these vast and complex contents were arranged by Yue Hanzhang in an orderly manner.

That's it.

The intensity of the human race's formal participation in this bloody war was due to the rise of the Beihai Tiandu lineage and the participation of almost all the moderate aristocratic families.

Surprisingly, even though another half of the aristocratic families were embroiled in internal strife and bloodshed, the conflict reached its peak at the very beginning of the bloody war between the two clans!

Especially with the presence of Venerable Kings, whose Taoist knowledge was as profound as that of a business master, they became the anchors of stability on these fronts.

This solid battle line is sufficient to handle most unexpected events during the battle between the two races.

With Yue Hanzhang's arrangement, even if another aristocratic family were to turn against them and follow the example of the Wang family of Xiguan in the past, the temporary chaos would not cause the battle lines to crumble, and the demon race's forces would not be able to break into the human race's territory even half a step!

And behind this well-established and resilient front.

It is a defensive line that is composed of the heads of various noble families and top-level kings, who are stationed in the rear.

Each of them was surrounded by family friends from the past, or well-known old acquaintances.

On the front lines they needed to protect, there were either their own close, talented, and monstrous descendants, or cultivators from long-standing families with whom they shared interests.

Yue Hanzhang's arrangements satisfied almost everyone, and even the small number of the princes who had to coordinate and adjust were completely able to accept the status quo.

and.

Their positions of command are interconnected and form a strategic defensive network.

Anyone who betrays the cause while in the rear will face a combined attack from the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time.

And the same.

This profound understanding of the placement of supreme rune arrays means that even in the worst-case scenario, when the Ancestral Saint King fiercely cuts through the battle lines of the two races and reaches the rear of the human race, it will still have to face the siege of at least three to four top Venerable Kings at the same time!
This is an extremely meticulously planned arrangement.

But it was precisely because such arrangements were so meticulous and thorough that almost all the princes who heard Yue Hanzhang's arrangements looked at Yue Hanzhang with either surprise or meaningful glances at him.

And in the ensuing reflection, his gaze toward Yue Hanzhang inevitably turned toward awe and fear.

because.

No matter what these moderate aristocratic families thought, they would never believe that such a comprehensive personnel arrangement plan could have been conceived by Yue Hanzhang in an instant.

He was prepared!

He had long ago racked his brains and painstakingly planned out today's situation!
Yue Hanzhang's far-sightedness astonished all the cultivators, who considered him a celestial being.

However, this also means that the infighting and bloodshed among the stubborn families in the Dao Alliance is all under Yue Hanzhang's "control"!
He had outwitted and killed all the stubborn and powerful families!

Wang Xiaoyu's astonishingly chaotic formal logic might be as clear as reading the lines on Yue Hanzhang's palm!

even.

More than one person had this malicious thought.

Could it be that Yue Hanzhang was subtly exerting influence amidst the escalating infighting within the conservative aristocratic families, allowing him to "predict things so accurately"?

Are they secretly fueling the flames?

This is further illustrated by Yue Hanzhang's repeated attempts to clear the area, a blatant scheme that provided a stage for infighting among the conservative families.

More than one person gasped at that moment.

The difference between natural intelligence and shrewdness is often just a thin veil.

They fled here to "avoid disaster" because of Wang Xiaoyu's reckless actions.

However, the fear and astonishment they felt before because of Wang Xiaoyu's actions were multiplied many times over at this moment, when they faced Yue Hanzhang and the "truth" they had glimpsed from their limited understanding!
This complex mix of emotions.

This gave Yue Hanzhang the effect of commanding the top Venerable Kings of the various gentle and aristocratic families as if he were commanding troops, with his orders being as firm as mountains!

It was precisely this unwavering command, coupled with the complex state of mind and emotions of the cultivators, that made this possible.

A subtle influence that Liu Jingqiu accidentally discovered is unexpectedly and rapidly propelling the process of influence due to the birth of a certain misunderstanding.

As the cultivators took their places and found their proper spots on desolate stars, they either forged cave dwellings or laid out talisman arrays on the spot.

Or, like Yue Hanzhang in the past, they would sit upright on the summit of that great star.

Yue Hanzhang, who had witnessed firsthand the orderly completion of the entire rear command line, left his original seated position.

That large star has been "submerged" in the battle lines where the various kings are stationed.

Yue Hanzhang arranged for himself to be stationed further behind the other kings, almost at the very edge of the entire ancient battlefield.

Behind Yue Hanzhang lay the vast borders of the human race.

The ancestral kings who participated in the bloody battle formed the first line of defense, the top kings who were stationed in the stars formed the second line of defense, and now Yue Hanzhang alone formed the third line of defense!

Yue Hanzhang's arrangement of excessively highlighting himself was never objected to by any of the princes.

Not to mention that Yue Hanzhang, with the help of external forces, displayed a combat power that was already half a level stronger than that of the Venerable King in the later stages of the Outer Realm.

The current rulers of the various moderate families have entered the ancient battlefield precisely to avoid the storm of internal strife.

The boundaries of the Dao Alliance are the stage that Yue Hanzhang and his followers left for the stubborn aristocratic families.

Although they believed that even if the stubborn aristocratic families were bloodthirsty, they would not dare to ignite the flames of war in the direction of the ancient battlefield.

But Wang Xiaoyu's madness today has left everyone feeling uncertain.

What if?
What if!
And from this perspective...

Yue Hanzhang's position on the edge of the ancient battlefield is not only the third line of defense in the human race's bloody war, but also a "line of defense" between the moderate and the stubborn aristocratic families.

Having found a desolate star, Yue Hanzhang sat down cross-legged at the edge of the ancient battlefield.

Within his pupils, the ninefold Dao Mother Talisman Array overlapped and intertwined. At this moment, Yue Hanzhang looked towards the direction of the demon race, separated by layers of defenses.

Such a large-scale action by the human race could not possibly go unnoticed by the demon race.

More ancestral kings were dispatched from the demon realm.

same.

This aligns with the three lines of defense established by Yue Hanzhang.

The demon race also adjusted their defensive structure, matching it one by one with the human race.

The Crane King, who was injured by Yue Hanzhang's punch in the past, has returned and replaced the Ape King in his original position. Together with the other Ancestral Saint Kings, they form the second line of defense for the demon race.

And at the same time.

The Ape King retreated further and further back, ending up on the edge of the ancient battlefield on the other side.

However, unlike Yue Hanzhang's "completely unconcealed" sitting posture.

Between the second and third lines of defense of the demon race, the demonic aura of the ancestral holy kings rose up and intertwined with each other in the air, forming a colorful curtain of mist.

Gradually, the Ape King and the entire demon realm were all swallowed up by the curtain of mist.

then.

The ape king, his form concealed, had a thoughtful expression on his face.
