Chapter 108 The Battle of Fog City
The Fog City, which Zhao Qingyun and his group originally came to for training and to help the young people grow, has now turned into a major battle—a meaningless battle with a very low chance of victory. But it's too late; running away is not the true solution.

First, Zhao Qingyun clearly told everyone that they must not reveal their identity as members of the Luoyi Empire, and must completely sever ties with the Empire. They must not allow the Shura Empire to find any connection or evidence related to the Empire. In this war, they must go all out to protect the stronghold in Wudu and safeguard the Empire's interests.

In these final days, Zhao Qingyun and the Crown Prince carefully examined what was to come, made preparations in advance, arranged everything, and were ready to meet the challenge.

Luo An was busy conveying the new information he had discovered to all the forces here, uniting all forces and using all means to do his utmost to organize a resistance force in Fog City and safeguard the peace here.

Zhao Qingyun specifically sought out Yi Mengying, as she was the special person he was protecting this time. Yi Mengying's attributes and skills were exceptionally unique; she was the only person in the empire to possess such abilities. She could attack and defend across ranks, knowing the opponent's strength in advance. Once controlled by her, escape was almost impossible. However, her current rank wasn't very high, and her control distance was short, preventing her from establishing a truly overwhelming advantage.

"Yi Mengying, come with me later. Let's get ready to go!" Zhao Qingyun said to Yi Mengying.

"Yes"

Yi Mengying didn't know why Zhao Qingyun was looking for her or where he was going, so she had no choice but to go back, pack her equipment, and quickly return to await orders. Zhao Qingyun grabbed Yi Mengying's hand and disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was on a small hill not far from the enemy. This place was a safe and hidden spot, still some distance from the enemy's main camp.

"Yi Mengying, sense how many high-level experts the other side has, and what level of experts they are."

"Ok"

Yi Mengying immediately calmed herself down and sat upright, unleashing her attribute skill. A blue wave rippled outwards, spreading in all directions, passing through the trees, through the enemy's protective shield, and reaching their main camp. She sensed a powerful energy; a high-level expert was defending this place, controlling the protective shield. Initially, Yi Mengying's attempt to spy was forcefully repelled, leaving behind a trace of information.

"Lord Zhao, the enemy has one Level One Venerable Realm expert with ice attributes, and five Level Two Venerable Realm experts. I really can't control them. I can only delay their attack and prepare accordingly," Yi Mengying said to Zhao Qingyun.

“Okay, it’s good to delay it a bit. When the time comes, you just stay by my side and don’t worry about anyone else, understand?” Zhao Qingyun said.

"Yes"

"Alright, let's go back!" With that, they were back at their starting point in an instant. Zhao Qingyun told Yi Mengying to focus on her cultivation and not let anything else distract her.

The battle between the two sides has begun. The enemy is determined to take over this place and has gathered a large number of people, which is very disadvantageous for Fog City. This battle will determine who will control Fog City in the future. It is very important for both sides and will definitely be a difficult duel.

That day, Fog City mobilized all its forces, forming over a dozen squads. Thousands upon thousands of troops marched towards Xiaolong Bay amidst deafening drumbeats and horns. Luo An led his base personnel and Zhao Qingyun's men to Xiaolong Bay to participate in the battle. Zhao Qingyun could not openly reveal himself, so everyone participated masked, blending into the various Fog City factions.

This was the first time that Fog City had fully integrated to fight against external forces. The ulterior motives of each faction were unknown, but the scene was indeed spectacular and grand.

On the front lines, there are several martial artists at the second-level Venerable realm in Fog City. They are all leaders of their respective factions and are famous and prestigious figures in Fog City.

"Beat them up and get them out of Chongqing..."

The people on the front lines were filled with righteous indignation, uttering insults and cursing at the enemy, showing no respect for them and declaring that they were not to be trifled with! A major battle was imminent.

Both sides now have tens of thousands of troops, shouting and cursing at each other on the battlefield, neither willing to give way, with drums beating and battle cries echoing endlessly.

"I am Xiao He, who dares to fight me?" A general from the Wudu side stepped forward first to challenge the other side, showing no regard for them.

"I, Qin Xiong, will have a go at you and see how you die." A second-level Venerable expert stepped forward and launched an attack on Xiao He.

In a battle between masters, the outcome is rarely fatal; both are high-level experts at the second-tier Venerable realm, their attacks overwhelming and unstoppable by most. A fierce wind arose as their attacks continued relentlessly. The clash of weapons gradually extended into the air, with both sides unleashing their full power and inflicting damage, neither able to immediately subdue the other. They fought a grueling aerial duel, evenly matched, before gradually moving away from the battlefield and ascending into the higher reaches of the sky.

Below, several other high-level experts had also joined the battle, and the two sides were engaged in a melee. Luo An and his group were fighting to the death with their opponents, and there were not many experts left in front of the great formation. However, both sides were watching the battle and had not yet launched a full-scale attack. They were waiting for their commanders to decide the winner, but it was impossible to have a result in such a short time. The other side was also holding back, letting them fight to the death.

The opposing team's high-level expert didn't appear to fight, so Zhao Qingyun and his group simply watched, patiently waiting for the outcome. They didn't dare to make any rash moves, as the opposing team did indeed have a high-level expert assisting them.

Two hours later, two soldiers from the Fog City side had been defeated, and the battle was going against them. What should they do?

Zhao Qingyun said, "Yi Mengying, you should secretly trap them so that our side can achieve victory as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be severe."

"Yes," Yi Mengying accepted the order and activated her attribute skills, trapping the enemy expert's soul and preventing him from escaping temporarily, thus creating an opportunity for our side to fight and strive for victory.

After a circle of blue light, Yi Mengying and the others were temporarily trapped in the actions of the opposing experts, as if a pause button had been pressed. The opponents were trapped for a few seconds and could not move. This gave our side an opportunity. In a few rounds, we defeated several of the opposing experts, who fell to the ground. The casualties were unknown.

"How is this possible? How could they do this? Isn't this the one from that day? No wonder, I felt something was off. He finally showed up today. Hahaha!" An old man with white hair suddenly appeared in front of the opposing formation. This was the powerful expert at the first level of Venerable Realm.

This expert at the first level of Venerable Realm had already locked onto Yi Mengying. The reason he hadn't made a move was that he had sensed Yi Mengying's controlling power that day and was waiting for her to make another move to resolve the danger on the spot.

This time, Zhao Qingyun sensed Yi Mengying's energy fluctuations and locked onto her location. A powerful energy surged towards her. Zhao Qingyun also sensed the danger to Yi Mengying and immediately stood in front of her, launching a full-scale defense. At the same time, he ordered Luo An to launch a full-scale attack. A great battle erupted instantly, with both sides launching all-out attacks. A massive war swept across the land, with all kinds of attribute skills unleashed. An overwhelming amount of energy poured down on the enemy. Shouts, curses, cries, screams, and the sound of war drums filled the air.

The battlefield was in complete chaos, with deafening cannon fire and fierce fighting. Both sides suffered countless casualties, and as far as the eye could see, Xiaolong Bay was submerged in blood, with blood flowing like a river...

Over here, Zhao Qingyun unleashed his strongest fighting power to protect Yi Mengying, vowing to defend her to the death. Luo An and the Crown Prince also joined the battle against the opposing level one Venerable Realm expert, determined to safeguard Yi Mengying's safety.

A battle between the strong is earth-shattering and heaven-shaking. Zhao Qingyun and his two companions were all at the second level of the Venerable Realm, and their strength was clearly insufficient to withstand the pressure from the first level of the Venerable Realm. They could only defend and had no power to retaliate whatsoever.

The opponent's single icy blade was enough to inflict serious injuries on Zhao Qingyun and his companions, who struggled to wield it with all their might. The attack also spread to those below the sixth rank who lacked strong defensive skills; few survived, and countless others perished. It was truly terrifying and tragic.

The Yi brothers were all deeply hurt and seriously injured in their efforts to protect Yi Mengying.

Yi Mengying was devastated. If they couldn't defeat this person soon, they would all perish here. With all her might, she gathered all her energy and launched a final attack on the powerful figure's soul consciousness.

The dark blue light shot directly towards the high-level expert. Seeing this powerful attack coming, the expert immediately gathered all his energy to defend against it, and ice shields appeared in front of him. However, even this could not stop Yi Mengying's attack on his soul sea, which directly penetrated the ice shields and shot straight into his soul sea.

If hit, the opponent will suffer severe damage, their soul and consciousness will be out of control, and they will be completely manipulated by Yi Mengying. Even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured and unable to recover.

The strong, naturally, were high-level experts, and had their own methods of self-preservation in the face of danger. He simply retreated rapidly, trying to escape Yi Mengying's soul sea attack lock-on, but it wasn't so easy to avoid. Once Yi Mengying's attack locked on, it wouldn't let go; it would remain locked on until he was controlled. The attack relentlessly pursued and tracked him.

Now, he panicked. Unable to attack anyone else, self-preservation was paramount. He sped away, disappearing directly into the portal. The immense energy surged into the portal, unable to dissipate the energy fluctuations within, and was blasted away, reduced to ashes. The portal shattered into pieces.

It is said that the powerful expert at the first level of Venerable Realm was severely injured when the teleportation array was destroyed. He was lost in the chaotic space-time and has been wandering in space-time endlessly ever since!
