Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

On the city wall, the generals and cultivators looked at each other, almost doubting that they had misheard.

Borrow the Tianlu?

That thing is the seat of power in a state, and it is also the foundation upon which the Governor of Hanchuan State can mobilize the fortune of the mountains and rivers and command the state army. How could it be lent out?

The middle-aged man standing in the center of the city wall had an extremely gloomy expression.

This man was none other than Xie Linjiang, the governor of Hanchuan Prefecture.

Beside him, a burly general clad in red armor and carrying a heavy sword snorted coldly.

"Just because he killed a woman and wiped out the Liu family, does this new Xuan King really think he's invincible?"

"They dare to spout nonsense at the gates of Hanchuan City, relying solely on a few unidentified guerrilla units!"

The speaker was named Shi Jingyue, the general guarding Hanchuan City, whose cultivation had already reached the Celestial Realm.

He looked at the three sword-wielding military spirits outside the city, his eyes showing apprehension but not much fear.

The spirit of the army is ultimately just the spirit of the army.

Hanchuan City has 60,000 state troops, twelve floating battle platforms connected to the city's protective formation, and three state guardians at the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Now it's war on home soil again.

How can a newly crowned Xuan King, who has just inherited the title and whose Heavenly Talisman has not yet been reassembled, possibly break through Hanchuan City?

Xie Linjiang ignored Shi Jingyue and stared intently at the armored chariot outside the city.

"No order from the Ministry of War, but an imperial edict from Tianjing."

"A prince of a different surname has led an army of 30,000 across the state border without authorization, besieging Hanchuan City, and openly demanding the state's celestial register..."

He paused, his voice growing even colder.

"Is Gu Changjin planning to conquer Hanchuan Prefecture?"

"Should we still rebel?"

The crowd on the city wall fell silent once again.

There's really no one who can respond to that.

Because what Gu Changjin is doing now, no matter how you look at it, is no different from rebellion.

"Capture him first, then report to Tianjing!"

Xie Linjiang no longer hesitated and took out a piece of azure jade talisman.

The jade talisman was no bigger than the palm of your hand, yet its surface seemed to be engraved with the mountains and rivers of the entire Hanchuan Prefecture.

Each of the patterns was flowing slowly, and the two characters "Hanchuan" at the very center exuded an extremely rich aura of the heavens.

As Xie Linjiang poured his own energy into it, the Azure Jade Talisman suddenly rose into the air!

"Your subject, Xie Linjiang, Governor of Hanchuan Prefecture, begs Heaven to punish this rebellion!"

boom!

The sky suddenly sank.

Wisps of azure energy rose from Hanchuan City, the twelve floating battle platforms, and the distant mountains and rivers, all converging into the sky above.

The next moment, an invisible divine might crashed down upon the area outside the city!

The thirty thousand Northern Shuo Xuanjia soldiers felt their bodies suddenly sink, and the circulation of qi and blood within their bodies slowed down.

The crimson evil clouds that had been hanging above the army formation shook violently, and even the three sword-wielding plant and tree army spirits seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand, their figures quickly becoming illusory.

Gu Changjin also felt the suppression; his cultivation, luck, soul, and even the ground beneath his feet were all rejecting him.

But instead of being shocked or angry, his face showed an undisguised satisfaction.

"nice one."

A single Governor's Talisman can transform the entire province's landscape and fortune into its own domain, enhancing its own power and suppressing external enemies.

If it were to be refined into the "Myriad Spirits Azure Heaven Method", how much accumulation would be saved for one's own Azure Heaven?

This trip was definitely worthwhile.

On the city wall, Xie Linjiang and the others were unaware of Gu Changjin's thoughts.

Seeing that the Northern Shuo Army's aura was suppressed and the three military spirits even showed signs of becoming ethereal, Shi Jingyue immediately revealed a cold smile.

"That's all there is to it!"

The governor's celestial seal's suppression has taken effect, and the city's protective array can extend its power outwards by three hundred miles.

With the presence of three Zhenzhou officials, capturing the king outside the city at this moment would actually end this farce as quickly as possible and prevent those strange plants from taking root and spreading outside the city.

"Open the city gates! Prepare for the enemy!"

The heavy city gates suddenly swung open.

Sixty thousand Hanchuan soldiers formed six battle formations and surged out like a tide.

Shi Jingyue stood personally at the forefront of the army formation, his red armor reflecting the sky, while six different military spirits condensed behind him.

At the same time, three auras far more terrifying than those of celestial beings rose from the city.

An old man with red hair holding a bronze spear, and a cultivator in green robes carrying an ancient sword.

There was also an old general clad in cold armor, his whole being exuding a deathly aura.

Three terrestrial deities!

Seeing this, Gu Changjin simply raised his hand and gently pressed down.

"Form ranks."

Three thousand armored warriors made of grass and wood simultaneously plunged their weapons into the earth.

Countless lush roots spread wildly from beneath their feet, instantly connecting the three military formations into one.

The once ethereal sword-wielding military spirit solidified again, and at the same time looked up at the oppressive azure sky.

The next moment, the three military spirits simultaneously raised their swords!

It wasn't aimed at the Han Chuan army, but at the heavens!

Boom!

Three streaks of emerald green sword light pierced through the clouds.

Countless branches, vines, and illusory shadows of vegetation intertwined above the Northern Shuo army, transforming into a thin layer of blue sky.

The moment it appeared, the omnipresent oppressive force of the heavens was forcefully pushed back!

The blood and qi of the Northern Shuo Xuanjia soldiers boiled again.

The three spirits of grass and wood grew even larger, their longswords pointing forward!

The Han Chuan army, which had already rushed out of the city gate, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

However, with the six military formations already deployed, forcibly turning back in front of the enemy at this moment would only expose their most vulnerable flanks.

They could only keep moving forward!

boom!

The 90,000-strong army clashed violently together.

Spears clashed with heavy shields, military formations and military spirits collided simultaneously, and violent blood and energy stirred up storm after storm on the wasteland.

At the same time, the three land immortals of Hanchuan City also met the Grass and Tree Army Soul.

A bronze spear pierced the shoulder of a military spirit, but countless branches and leaves instantly wrapped around the spear; the old general in cold armor used his military seal to knock back another military spirit, but the next moment he was cut back dozens of miles by a green longsword.

Even with the help of Han Chuan's home ground and the blessing of the heavens, the three true terrestrial immortals could only barely hold off the three grass and wood military spirits!

Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, Gu Changjin sat back in his Xuanjia chariot.

The sounds of fighting seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The Dao Fruit trembled slightly, and one after another, pure white Dao principles flew out from it and entered the body of this other self.

The chasm that stretched between celestial beings and earthly immortals couldn't even hold for a moment before shattering in the pure white light!

An aura truly belonging to a terrestrial immortal rose from his body.

The thirtieth, fortieth, and even fiftieth auras merged into one and completely dissipated. Instead, all the leaked aura on Gu Changjin's body quickly subsided, no longer revealing even the slightest trace.

Returning to simplicity, the ultimate realm of terrestrial immortals!

At the same moment, the green-robed swordsman on the battlefield suddenly burned his own life essence.

With the other two terrestrial immortals desperately trying to restrain him, he took a sword strike from the Grass and Wood Army Spirit and finally broke free from the blockade of the three army spirits.

His green robe was torn, and blood was dripping from his shoulder.

But his eyes were surprisingly bright.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

As long as we capture that new Xuan King who is still at the Celestial Realm, the Northern Shuo army will be thrown into chaos, and this great battle can be ended instantly!

A hundred miles is covered in a single step.

The green-robed swordsman appeared before the Xuanjia chariot in an instant, like a bolt of green lightning, his right hand already reaching for Gu Changjin's head.

"Hehehe! You brat, King Xuan, it's all over!"

The words fell.

Gu Changjin just opened his eyes.

boom!

An aura so vast that it seemed to freeze the entire battlefield suddenly erupted from the black-armored chariot!

The ecstatic joy on the green-robed swordsman's face instantly froze.

The person so close at hand, how could he still be a celestial being?

That aura was clearly that of a terrestrial immortal at the pinnacle of cultivation!
