Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"If there are any objections, we can discuss them later!"

Having said that, he stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow as he slammed down on the crowd, his oppressive aura spreading out and enveloping everyone below.

Jiang Chi's breath hitched, then he clenched his fists, barely managed to raise his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, General Xuanwu."

The other demon generals also struggled to speak.

Seeing this, the Xuanwu General withdrew his oppressive aura and sat back down in his chair.

"This afternoon, keep your lines of defense in place."

"yes!"

The generals nodded and retreated helplessly.

…………

At noon, outside Xuanwu City, the army stopped and prepared various weapons. Zi Shu quickly walked out.

Looking at Xuanwu City not far away, he took a step forward and stepped into the void. Above his head, a large seal flew out, and purple energy swirled around him.

He let out a long roar, and twenty-four Earthly Fiend Daoist runes immediately appeared on the seal. It then grew larger, transforming into a seal covering more than ten kilometers in the blink of an eye, before falling down towards Xuanwu City below.

"Xiangming, come out and face your death!"

The massive seal blotted out the sky and descended rapidly. Just as it was about thirty feet away from Xuanwu City, a semi-transparent red barrier suddenly rose up, blocking the seal's downward momentum. Immediately afterward, a powerful voice rang out from within the city.

"Are you shrimp soldiers and crab generals here to die?"

Immediately afterwards, a heavy figure flew out and punched the bottom of the seal.

The seal trembled slightly, then slowly began to rise, and was actually lifted up by him.

Seeing this, Zi Shu showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, she shouted to the people behind her, "Form the formation!"

At the same time, he took out six array flags and threw them towards the cultivators below.

In an instant, the thrown array flags landed in six directions above the army, and the cultivators arranged themselves into formations according to their pre-trained routines.

Immediately, six divine generals, each a hundred feet tall, clad in golden armor and surrounded by purple aura, appeared above the magic array. They wielded various weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, and halberds, and all exuded the cultivation level of the mid-stage Purple Mansion realm.

"The Yun Kingdom truly has some clever methods!"

In the midst of the army, the Holy Mother Lingxi looked at the six golden-armored generals and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"Senior, what kind of formation is this? It's so powerful!"

Seeing that the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros seemed to know about the formation, Zhou Yan asked her about it, secretly shocked.

She glanced at him, then spoke, "Do you know how the human race rose to prominence among all races in ancient times?"

"I don't know." Zhou Yan shook his head. Neither the original owner's memories nor the knowledge he learned from the Yun Kingdom's collection of books introduced much about the origins of the human race.

They are mostly methods of spiritual practice.

"In ancient times, the human race was weak and small in stature, and was often bullied by other races. However, some human ancestors created a combined attack formation suitable for the human race by combining the laws of the heavens and the earth with the laws of all races."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was unaware, the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros was not surprised at all and slowly began to explain.

"After that, with the help of the combined attack formation, even a group of cultivators with low cultivation levels could gather their power to defeat powerful enemies. Later, with the development of this combined attack formation, the Divine General Formation was born."

"By gathering the power of everyone and condensing the divine general, the array master can control the divine general through the array flags."

After saying that, she pointed towards the military formation. Zhou Yan looked over and saw that there was indeed a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator holding a formation flag with a solemn expression.

"The formation used by the people of Ziyun Kingdom is the Eighteen Divine Generals of Soldiers created by the military strategists of Zhongzhou. The person who forms the formation can condense up to eighteen Divine Generals of Soldiers: sword, spear, halberd, axe, battle-axe, hook, fork, whip, mace, hammer, claw, halberd, staff, lance, club, spear, dagger and lance."

The Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros continued.

"Thank you for informing me, senior."

Zhou Yan slowly exhaled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards her.

At the same time, he secretly wondered about the origin of the Purple Cloud Kingdom. Compared with the surrounding Purple Mansion Kingdom, the Purple Cloud Kingdom was simply far stronger.

"It's alright." The Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros shook her head and then said, "Keep an eye on the army formation; it's my turn to make my move."

Having said that, he moved swiftly and appeared on one side of Xuanwu City. With a flick of his wrist, the Azure Water Mirror emerged, pouring out a large expanse of azure water that transformed into countless demonic beasts that attacked Xuanwu City.

In the army, those cultivators who had not formed a battle formation also launched an attack, using spells, talismans, and crossbows in a dazzling display.

Zhou Yan did not advance to attack, but instead circled around the army formation, guarding against any sneak attacks.

Although the formation provides protection to each member, this protection is ultimately passive. If someone with ulterior motives wants to launch a sneak attack, they can still break through it.

While patrolling, Zhou Yan also observed the battle situation in Xuanwu City.

At this moment, the battlefield is mainly divided into four places. One place is the battlefield between Zi Shu and Xuanwu General. In the two, Zi Shu controls the great seal and keeps attacking him. Xuanwu General, who is at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, is suppressed and is at the bottom.

The second instance was when the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros faced off alone against a late-stage Purple Mansion Demon General and two mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon Generals. However, thanks to the magic treasures in her hands, the Azure Water Demon Beast continued to condense, and she managed to fight the three Demon Generals to a standstill.

The third battlefield was between Ling Shu and nine others, facing off against five demon generals. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the opposing side had a demon general at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, putting them at a disadvantage.

The last place was a chaotic battleground. Led by six military generals, a large number of cultivators launched an attack. Jiang Chi led three demon generals and a large number of demon soldiers to fight back fiercely.

"Xiangming, surrender. Why risk your life for that guy?"

On the battlefield, beads of sweat appeared on Zi Shu's forehead as she manipulated the Purple Cloud Seal, repeatedly repelling Xiang Ming while shouting commands.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Xiang Ming's expression remained unchanged. Large skeletal structures emerged from his body, covering him. Holding a long bone spear, he deflected the Purple Cloud Seal and charged straight at Zi Shu.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

Seeing that her attempts to persuade him to surrender had failed, Zi Shu snorted coldly, suddenly flashed away to dodge his attack, and then summoned a precious pearl that emitted a purple-gold light, with eighteen Earthly Fiend Daoist runes appearing on it.

"The Purple-Gold Demon-Slaying Sword, appear!"

With a flick of his wrist, the radiance of the pearl spread out, transforming into a purple and gold sword, its cold light chilling.

A sense of crisis washed over him, and before Xiang Ming could react, the Purple-Gold Demon-Slaying Sword transformed into a beam of sword light and appeared before him.

not good!

Xiangming frowned, but his expression remained calm. He raised his spear and held it in front of him.

With the sword tip pressed against the spear tip, a loud explosion rang out, and Xiang Ming was instantly sent flying backward. Cracks appeared on the bone spear in his hand, which bore fifteen Earthly Fiend Daoist runes.

The Purple-Gold Demon-Slaying Sword flew back to Zi Shu's side, and he solemnly said.

"We haven't played yet, Xiangming!"
