"Yue Qing, obey my command."

"Your subordinate is here!"

"The plan has changed. The Shadow Claw Tribe's Underworld Tower is personally leading an ambush, intending to kill me."

Yue Qing's voice tightened instantly: "General! This subordinate will immediately lead the entire army to provide reinforcements!"

“No.” Zhang Yuan’s voice was frighteningly calm. “Not only can you not come to our aid, you should also intensify the feint attack.”

"what?!"

"Let me finish." Zhang Yuan's voice was like ice water poured on Yue Qing's heart. "The fact that the Underworld Tower set up an ambush means that the Demon Realm already knew we were coming to rob our supplies. Mo Wenshu's intelligence was bait from the very beginning."

"But the fact that they set up this bait here shows that they have all their attention focused on the West End warehouses."

"Their main force is all surrounding me."

"What about the outer defenses of the western district?"

Yue Qing instantly understood Zhang Yuan's intention: "Emptiness!"

“Yes.” Zhang Yuan’s lips curled into a smile. “You immediately mobilize the entire army, abandon the feint attack—and launch a full-scale assault!”

"The target is not the sentry post, but the command center of the Western District's demonic army!"

"All 20,000 Ironblood Rock Battalion soldiers, charge forward! Shatter their command system!"

"The main force of the demon army is surrounding me, leaving my rear vulnerable. They simply can't withstand your punch!"

"Understood!" Yue Qing's voice was full of fighting spirit.

“One more thing,” Zhang Yuan added, “have the Crimson Feather Army and the Vanguard Battalion march ostentatiously along the second route I gave you, towards the direction of Broken Dragon Pass and Ghost Cry Forest. Deliberately leave traces and ‘accidentally’ lose the marching star map.”

"Let the demon army believe that the main force of the Shaking Mountain Army is going to take that 'Heavenly Palace reinforcements' trap route."

"In this way, Blood Butcher will be able to deploy more troops to Black Wind Gorge to set up an ambush."

"The western area will be even emptier."

Yue Qing gasped.

This strategy kills two birds with one stone: to disrupt the demon army's deployment with a strong attack on the western district, and to lure the demon army's main force elsewhere with a fake march route.

General, you anticipated this step long ago.

"Understood, General! Take care!"

Communication was cut off.

Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked at the Tower of the Underworld.

The Tower of the Underworld was also watching him.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Yuan asked calmly.

"Are you ready to die?" Mingta sneered.

“No.” Zhang Yuan shook his head. “Are you ready for a rout?”

He raised his hand, and the Zhenyue Token burst forth with a dazzling gray-yellow flame!
"Breakthrough Team, charge with me—!"

Fifty men, like a sharp knife, plunged fiercely into the weakest point of the encirclement!
The Tower of the Underworld roared, "Stop them!"

Three thousand elite Shadow Claw troops surged forward like a black tide!

A great battle erupted instantly!
Zhang Yuan took the lead, his Myriad Beasts Armor shining brightly, and the phantoms of myriad beasts roared around him!
Left fist, Chaotic Magnetic Shock!
Right palm, the Xuanhuang Divine Fire burns the heavens!
With each strike, several elite members of the Shadow Claw Division were blasted away!

"Your trap was well-laid out," Zhang Yuan said with a sneer to the Underworld Tower as he killed. "Unfortunately, you miscalculated one thing."

"What?" Mingta continued to heal his injuries while clinging tightly to Zhang Yuan.

"You thought I came here to die?" Zhang Yuan smashed the head of a Shadow Claw elite with a punch. "Actually, I came here to hold you back."

The Tower of the Underworld's pupils contracted sharply.

"What do you mean—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

In the distance, from the west side, deafening shouts of battle erupted!
"kill--!!!"

Under Yue Qing's command, the 20,000-strong Ironclad Ironclad Battalion surged forward like a steel torrent, fiercely attacking the Demon Army's western defense line!
The reforged Zhenyue Armor reflected the firelight, the Demon-Slaying Crossbows poured down like a torrential rain, and the halberds stood like a forest, each swing carrying the power of magnetic resonance!

The command hub of the Western District Demon Army was instantly torn apart!
Upon receiving the urgent report, Blood Butcher flew into a rage: "What? The main force of the Shaking Mountain Army is launching a full-scale attack on the western district? What's going on at the warehouse?!"

Intelligence reports indicate that Zhang Yuan is being besieged by the Underworld Tower in the direction of the warehouse.

Blood Butcher instantly realized that Zhang Yuan was bait!
He held back the elite forces of the Underworld Tower and Shadow Claw, creating an opportunity for the main force of the Shaking Mountain Army to launch a strong attack on the western district! "Damn bastard!" Blood Butcher roared in fury, "Send the order! The troops flanking from both sides, immediately return to defend the western district!"

He mobilized all the demonic forces in the vicinity to frantically support the West District.

The three thousand elite Shadow Claw troops who were besieging Zhang Yuan were also forced to withdraw most of them to defend the western district.

A huge gap has appeared in the encirclement.

This was Zhang Yuan's plan!

Weren't you planning to surround and kill me?

Then I'll launch a frontal assault with 20,000 men and tear a hole in your encirclement.

Your soldiers are soldiers, and so are my soldiers.

But the difference is that my soldiers are willing to die for me.

Your soldiers will only flee when you are defeated.

"Breakthrough team, break through the gap!"

At Zhang Yuan's command, fifty men shot out of the gap like arrows released from a bow!

"Trying to run?!" Mingta roared, transforming into a massive shadow as it lunged straight at Zhang Yuan!

Zhang Yuan turned around, gathered the last bit of chaotic star power in his right fist, and clashed head-on with the Nether Tower!
"boom--!"

Both of them were sent flying backwards at the same time!

Zhang Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness.

"What is given today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future."

His figure disappeared into the ruins.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Zhang Yuan did not retreat towards the main camp.

Instead, he led the formation-breaking team and plunged into an abandoned mine tunnel in the direction of Tianyuan City.

"General, what's going on here..." the captain of the Breaking Formation Team asked in surprise.

"Go into the city," Zhang Yuan said succinctly.

"Going into the city?!" Everyone was stunned.

Tianyuan City is besieged by a million demon soldiers, and not even a bird can fly in. The general wants to take fifty people into the city.
“I know a way.” Zhang Yuan took out the jade slip that Venerable Yunji had given him before his departure and probed into it with his divine sense.

Inside the jade slip was an extremely complex map of the earth's veins.

Tianyuan City was built on a massive ley line node.

The earth's magnetic field is powerful and vast, but after millions of years of evolution, many natural fissures have formed within the earth's veins.

These fissures, like underground blood vessels, are interconnected.

One of them runs from an abandoned mine tunnel thirty miles outside the city directly to the underground of the Tianyuan City Star Observatory!
This is a top-secret route that Venerable Xingheng spent a hundred years surveying.

Only Yunji and Xingheng themselves know.

Yunji then handed this route over to Zhang Yuan.

"We travel through the earth's veins," Zhang Yuan explained. "Using the assimilative properties of the chaotic star's energy, we envelop ourselves in underground rock strata and travel through them."

"The earth's magnetic field will conceal our presence, and the demon army will be unable to detect us."

"However, the fissures in the earth's veins are filled with toxic gas from the earth's fire and magnetic storms; a slight mistake could result in being pulverized."

Zhang Yuan looked at everyone.

“I need ten volunteers to follow me. The remaining forty, with the captured supplies, will return to the main camp via the same route. Yue Qing will cover you.”

Fifty men, not one of them retreated.

“General, we will follow you.” The captain of the Breaking Formation knelt on one knee. “Wherever you go, we will go.”

Zhang Yuan looked at them and remained silent for a moment.

"it is good."

"Then let's go."

"Send the goods into Tianyuan City." (End of Chapter)
