Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Ten thousand evil spirits were no problem for his fifty thousand Yue Family Army, but the trouble lay with the two Black Tower chieftains in the canyon.

If Yue Fei's army were to be sent, taking the city shouldn't be a problem, but the losses would likely be enormous, making it not worthwhile...

The Yue Family Army should first deal with the evil spirits driven by the Black Tower and surround the two Black Tower leaders before he and Captain Yan Wen can deal with them together.

After formulating the battle plan, Yue Yunxuan immediately ordered: "Captain Yan, I trouble you to lead 10,000 victorious troops to attack from the left side of the canyon and make sure to take the left cliff!"

Yan Zhuangyao patted his chest, "Leave it to me!"

"Captain Wen, I need you to lead 10,000 mobile troops to attack from the right side of the canyon. Make sure to annihilate the evil spirits and capture the right cliff!"

Wen nodded slightly, "No problem!"

After making arrangements for the two, Yue Yunxuan turned to Yuan Xichen beside him and said, "Strategist, I'll give you 10,000 Ta Bai soldiers. I'll trouble you to lead them to block the rear of the canyon and not let any enemy escape!"

Yuan Xichen smiled and nodded, "Okay..."

"And I will lead the remaining 20,000 Beiwei soldiers as the main force, entering from the canyon entrance to trap and defeat them!"

……

the other side.

"Your Highness, the road is open!"

Inside a dark, fortified stronghold, a general stood clad in a gleaming silver unicorn armor, his dark battle robe billowing in the wind.

Four flags bearing the character "Tang" were planted behind him, and a white cloak hung behind him.

He pulled the silver Destiny Halberd from the evil spirit nailed to the wall. The halberd shaft was straight, the blade gleamed coldly, and the crimson tassel fluttered in the wind.

He is Li Moxuan's seventh guardian spirit—Guo Ziyi!

"Keep moving forward!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Guo Ziyi responded in a deep voice. With his order, the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield quickly returned to their posts, and the 10,000-strong army continued to advance toward the Black Tower's camp.

Besides Diao Lingyun, Li Moxuan also brought Jiuli with him this time. She was quite familiar with the Black Tower and knew where its strongholds were.

Despite her seemingly honest appearance, Li Moxuan still put a shackle made of spirit-locking stone on her feet.

Having absorbed Cao Yanbing's experience, Li Moxuan has improved upon it over the years, specially creating a combination lock shackle without any interlocking holes, so even if someone knows how to pick the lock, it's useless.

After wearing the Soul-Locking Stone Shackles, the spiritual power in one's body will be locked, making it impossible to summon guardian spirits or even use the spiritual power within the body, rendering one no different from an ordinary person.

Chapter 78: The Spirit of the Tang Dynasty Army

"Are you just going to attack like that?"

Jiuli, who was following beside her, couldn't help but ask a question. She had thought that Li Moxuan had asked her to lead the way in order to launch a sneak attack, but it turned out that Li Moxuan had directly led an army of 10,000 to attack the city and seize the stronghold.

Such a commotion is clearly a signal to the Black Tower on the mountain that they've arrived...

"if not?"

Li Moxuan gave her a strange look. "I'm not going to assassinate them, so there's no need to hide it. It's good to let the world know the consequences of offending our Greedy Camp!"

"But……"

Jiuli was worried about her friends; with such a commotion, what if they…

"Your Highness, something has happened!"

Guo Ziyi's calm voice came from ahead, interrupting Jiuli's words. Seeing Li Moxuan and Diao Lingyun walking forward, she hesitated for a moment before following them.

"Are you the reinforcements that Old Li brought?"

Yang Bogong, the third leader of the Black Tower, stood in front of the army, followed by many evil spirit soldiers armed with weapons.

Li Moxuan sized him up. "You're Yang Bogong, the third leader of the Black Tower?"

Yang Bogong crossed his arms, his face displeased. "How rude of you! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Why should a dying person know so much?

"Ha, so young, yet so arrogant..."

Yang Bogong was initially puzzled as to how Li Moxuan recognized him, but after seeing Jiuli next to him, he suddenly understood.

"Jiuli, it seems you're doing quite well! You've even learned to let wolves into your house!"

Uncle Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you forgotten that the eldest brother hates traitors the most..."

Jiuli's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "No, I was..."

"Stop making excuses!"

Uncle Yang forcefully interrupted her explanation, "Anyway, there's no use in explaining. Your friends were already dead last night..."

Upon hearing this, Jiuli was struck dumb, collapsing to the ground. He looked up, staring blankly at Uncle Yang, "Why?"

Seeing her so naive, Uncle Yang couldn't help but laugh. "You don't really think that as long as you do what we say, we'll let them go, do you?"

Jiuli sat on the ground, head down, muttering to herself, "So... you've been lying to me all along..."

"Haha, you know now but..."

Before Yang Bogong could finish speaking, Guo Ziyi threw the Heavenly Mandate Halberd in his hand, pinning him to the mountain wall.

"You talk too much..."

Seeing that Yang Bogong, who was nailed to the mountain wall, slowly turned into spiritual energy points and dissipated, Guo Ziyi frowned slightly, reached out, and the Heavenly Mandate Halberd returned to his hand.

"That's so rude! I haven't even finished speaking yet!"

Yang Bogong's figure appeared on the other side, and next to him stood a giant goat, which was his guardian spirit - Yang Xian, the Reversal Star Lord.

Li Moxuan waved his hand, and two soldiers behind him stepped forward and took Jiuli away.

The reason I brought her here was to figure out which path was easier to take, and now her mission is complete.

With a burst of flames, the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd appeared in Li Moxuan's hand. "Have you finished your last words?"

"I never expected that there would be someone as arrogant and conceited as you under Tanlang's command..."

Yang Bogong disliked Li Moxuan's arrogant tone and said coldly, "I don't like fighting, but you dare to try and trample our territory!"

"If a person loses their territory, they'll be driven to a dead end..."

"But it doesn't matter, you're all going to die here anyway!"

Suddenly, Yang Bogong's guardian spirit, Yang Xian, let out a roar, freezing Li Moxuan and Diao Lingyun, along with the ten thousand soldiers behind them, so that they could not move.

"Can't move anymore, right?"

With a smug look on his face, Yang Bogong laughed loudly, "You've all been hit by the Reversal Star Lord's immobilization spell, and now you're completely at his mercy!"

"So what if it's the Greedy Camp? They'll still get what they deserve if they mess with our Black Tower..."

Yang Bogong's laughter stopped abruptly, and black flames suddenly erupted from Li Moxuan's body in front of him, revealing a set of black gold flame-devouring armor.

Meanwhile, powerful spiritual energy emanated from Diao Lingyun beside him, and the War Demon Armor, imbued with Lu Bu's power, slowly appeared on her body.

"It's just ropes made of spiritual energy that have bound us. Do you think this thing can really hold us back?"

With the support of Li Cunxiao and Lü Bu, Li Moxuan and Diao Lingyun easily broke free from their restraints.

"Heh, you can easily break free, but what about the soldiers behind you?"

Yang Bogong sneered and pressed the button in his hand. An explosion occurred on the mountain wall, and countless shattered boulders crashed down on Li Moxuan and the army behind him.

"Guo Ziyi!"

"Give it to your subordinate!"

Guo Ziyi raised the Heavenly Mandate Halberd high, its tip pointing to the sky, and proclaimed, "The Spirit of the Tang Army!"

The four "Tang" flags behind him suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a phantom image of the Bai Ze divine beast appeared behind Guo Ziyi.

The Bai Ze divine beast roared to the sky, and a huge phantom image of the Tang Dynasty military flag suddenly appeared in the sky.

The bound soldiers of the Greedy Battalion seemed to sense something, and they all looked up at the Tang Dynasty military flag in the sky, their eyes instantly turning fanatical.

It felt like a fanatical believer seeing their god...

All the soldiers of the Greedy Battalion roared angrily, their aura rising steadily, bursting forth with intense killing intent, and in an instant they broke free from Yang Xian's restraints.

At the same time, a tiger's roar resounded through the sky, and above the military formation, the Great Tang Army Soul, carrying the will of all the soldiers, appeared as a white tiger phantom.

The phantom of the white tiger roared, and the falling boulder instantly turned to dust...

The evil spirit soldier standing behind Yang Bogong swallowed hard and involuntarily took a step back.

The army before them exuded a murderous aura, as if they had just returned from a campaign fraught with carnage; they didn't seem like an army on their first campaign at all...

Before the fight even started, the overwhelming killing intent alone was enough to tear them apart, sending chills down everyone's spines...

Is there really anyone who can defeat such an army?

"Playing tricks!"

Although surprised, Yang Bogong maintained his composure and waved his hand, "Go!"

The evil spirit soldiers behind him looked at each other, none of them daring to rush down first. Facing such an enemy, what difference was there between rushing down and committing suicide?

"You bunch of useless trash!"

Master Yang was almost driven mad by them. "You are evil spirits! How could you be afraid of a bunch of dead?"

How is this any different from a cat that's afraid of mice?

In stark contrast to his situation, Li Moxuan's gaze sharpened. "Take this place down for me!"

Upon receiving the order, Guo Ziyi took the lead, charging forward with the Heavenly Mandate Halberd, shouting, "Kill!"

"kill!!!"

The soldiers of the Greedy Battalion behind him roared and charged fearlessly toward Yang Bogong and the evil spirit legion behind him.

Uncle Yang's heart tightened. "Yang Xian, stop them!"

However, Yang Xian was now being suppressed by Guo Ziyi and couldn't even defend himself, so how could he have the time to stop this army that was ready to die for their cause?

"hateful……"
