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

Before he could react, Guo Ziyi, who had burst out of the flames, pierced his body with a halberd and lifted him up.

But the "curse master" on the Heavenly Fate Halberd slowly transformed into sheets of golden talisman paper and scattered, and Zhang Tianshi behind him also disappeared.

Gone...

Guo Ziyi instantly became alert. The four "Tang" flags behind him suddenly fluttered loudly, and he hurriedly transformed into white flames and dissipated...

Just as he vanished, a massive Eastern Emperor Bell suddenly fell from above, covering the area where he had just been.

Standing atop the Eastern Emperor Bell was the Curse Master. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he said with a hint of regret, "It actually escaped..."

Beside Su Dingfang and Wang Zhongsi, Guo Ziyi emerged from the blazing white flames, his gaze fixed solemnly on the sorcerer atop the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"This magician is not easy to deal with!"

The two sides are not very compatible in terms of expertise, so the fighting is somewhat difficult for both sides...

Meanwhile, Li Moxuan confidently entrusted his back to them and set his sights on Lei Pao, who was preparing to attack Sun Zhantian.

Lei Pao said helplessly, "Kid, I'm not even planning to lay a hand on you, why do you insist on protecting that little girl?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Summoning so many guardian spirits at once, and activating the power of the Demon King, must have taken a toll on your body, right?"

"If you don't make a move, I can pretend I never saw you. But once you do, I'll have no choice but to kill you and that little girl together!"

Seeing the dire situation, Sun Zhantian, disregarding his need for rest, walked over to Li Moxuan despite his numerous injuries.

"Li Moxuan cough... I can still fight... I'll help you..."

Seeing the stubborn look in Sun Zhantian's eyes, Li Moxuan still reached out and stopped her, "Your injuries are too severe, if you continue fighting, your life will be in danger..."

"I don't like going back on my word. If I said I'd help you get revenge, I definitely will..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, Zhan Tian, ​​if possible, could you please help me clear out the evil spirits in the vicinity?"

Li Jing, who was not far away, had already cut the Thunder-Sealing Spear that was trapping Sun Ce and the others, and rescued them.

With their help, Sun Zhantian could at least remain safe and sound in the face of these evil spirits.

Lei Pao saw all this but did not stop it, after all, Sun Ce and the others were completely restrained by him and could not be considered a threat.

Sun Ce cupped his hands in thanks to Li Jing, saying, "Thank you for saving me, General. May I ask your name?"

Li Jing waved his hand, "No need for thanks, as for the name..."

He turned around and walked towards Li Moxuan, "It's not too late to talk about it if we can all survive this battle..."

Chapter 106: Operation Arrangements

Hall of Heroes, woods by the East Gate.

The 200,000-strong Greedy Battalion has arrived here. If such a large army marches together, it will definitely attract the attention of the Hall of Heroes. Therefore, Yuan Xichen is using multiple batches of troops to cover up the situation.

Under Yuan Xichen's arrangement, Bai Shuier, Diao Lingyun, Yang Qianhong, Huo Jiu'an, Wen Zuoyi, Yan Zhuangyao, Wei Molong, Zhang Jinfeng, and Yan Qiaoqiao each led an army of 20,000 away from the Greedy Camp.

As for the Greedy Battalion, it was handed over to Li Laoyi to take charge, with Yue Yunxuan assisting him in guarding the Greedy Battalion. Under Yue Yunxuan's command, the Yue Family Army quickly took full control of the Greedy Battalion.

As for the Prison Guardian... Although Li Moxuan said there was no need to be too wary of him, Yuan Xichen was still cautious and deliberately left the Moon King and Flower King to keep an eye on him.

After all, the Prison-Suppressing Child is effective against Spirit Masters, but the Moon King and Flower King are not Spirit Masters; their true forms are genuine ancient divine beasts, and they are not afraid of the Prison-Suppressing Child at all...

Of course, Bai Luofu, Lian Lumen, Wang Baili, and Li Gubo remained in the Greedy Camp.

Although they had not yet joined the Corruption Camp, Yuan Xichen, at Li Moxuan's special instruction, still gave them the treatment of cadres in the Corruption Camp.

If they turn against us, Muli, who remained in the Greedy Camp, can help deal with them.

After all, the Greedy Camp's headquarters, Sirius Stronghold, is located right under the Fusang Divine Tree, and the highly aggressive Fusang Flower now only listens to Muli...

In this operation, Bei Luoshimen and Yan Fengzha were also dragged into the mess by Yuan Xichen. With their daughter on one side and their sister on the other, the two of them simply couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Besides, since they're beating up the Hall of Heroes anyway, they won't feel any guilt...

On the day Li Moxuan set off for Tartarus, Yuan Xichen ordered them to dig a huge tunnel in Nandou Street leading to the outside woods.

After that, he led them and 20,000 troops through the tunnels and boarded the troop transport ships secretly developed by the Greedy Battalion to the vicinity of the Hall of Heroes.

Subsequently, Yuan Xichen led them to quietly take over several Soul-Suppressing Streets that were far apart in the vicinity, imprisoned the bound Soul-Suppressing Generals, and dug tunnels...

Beiluoshimen controls the earth and digs tunnels incredibly fast, while Yanfengzha controls the wind and can blow clods of earth out of the tunnel. He can dig a tunnel that stretches for several kilometers in less than a day.

It just consumes a lot of their spiritual energy...

Therefore, Yuan Xichen specially prepared a large number of Spirit Essence Pills that could quickly replenish spiritual energy for them.

If too much of this elixir is taken, it can cause irreversible damage to the body. Therefore, Yuan Xichen has carefully controlled the dosage.

If all goes well, they will be able to dig eight tunnels with minimal damage to their bodies. However, it will be tough on Beiluo Shimen and Yan Fengzha, who will have to work day and night.

Although the two wanted to complain, they didn't want to disappoint their daughter and sister, so they could only keep digging and digging...

Meanwhile, the other eight cadres each led 20,000 troops out of the Greedy Camp through the tunnels leading to Nandou Street, heading towards Zhenhun Street, where the eight tunnels Yuan Xichen had given them were located.

These eight tunnels lead to the woods east of the Hall of Heroes.

Once Xiang Kunlun launches an attack on the Spirit Realm, the surprise troops here will immediately seize the main camp of the Hall of Heroes.

Despite Yuan Xichen's efforts to conceal the army's movement, Zhuge Yixin, who had been paying close attention to the Greedy Camp's every move, noticed something amiss.

Shuiyun Street.

Liu Yuchan looked at Zhuge Yixin in front of him, his brows furrowed. "Yixin, do you mean that the Greedy Camp will be making a big move soon?"

"That's right!"

Zhuge Yixin nodded confidently, "According to the scouts, the Greedy Camp has recently started sealing off the streets, prohibiting anyone unrelated to the Greedy Camp from entering Nandou Street."

"The number of soldiers routinely clearing away evil spirits near Nandou Street has decreased significantly, and the officers who usually lead the soldiers in clearing away evil spirits have also disappeared..."

"Most importantly, according to reliable sources, military activity has been detected in several Soul-Suppressing Streets near the Hall of Heroes..."

Han Yuanqing, standing to the side, stroked his chin and asked, "Yixin, aren't you overthinking this? The army near the Hall of Heroes might just be Xiang Kunlun's army..."

Zhuge Yixin pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It shouldn't be..."

He took out a map and analyzed, "The Soul-Suppressing Streets where military traces appeared are in various directions of the Hall of Heroes, but they did not appear in the vicinity of our Shuiyun Street."

"Yuan Qing, do you think it's necessary for Xiang Kunlun to avoid us?"

Han Yuanqing glanced at Liu Yuchan but did not answer. Instead, he voiced his own confusion.

"The main problem is that we haven't noticed any troops leaving the Greedy Camp during this period. On the contrary, Xiang Kunlun secretly sent 100,000 troops from the Hall of Heroes towards the Greedy Camp..."

"And the guards of the Hall of Heroes have all been replaced by Chu soldiers who are loyal to Xiang Kunlun. If there is to be any major action, I think it is the Hall of Heroes rather than the Greedy Battalion..."

Zhuge Yixin fell silent. What Han Yuanqing said was indeed reasonable. According to the current intelligence, the Chu army stationed at the Hall of Heroes numbered no less than 150,000.

If the Greedy Camp really wanted to capture the Hall of Heroes as he thought, it would need at least 200,000 troops, since attacking a city is far more difficult and results in greater casualties than defending it.

Not to mention that the Hall of Heroes also boasts powerful Spirit Masters such as Xiang Kunlun, Lü Xiangong, Yang Luoqi, Lu Shuyu, Lu Tianyou, and Li Gucheng...

It would be almost impossible for an army of 200,000 to march silently... Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?

"Achan, what do you think?"

Zhuge Yixin turned to look at Liu Yuchan, who was squinting and thinking, wanting to hear his opinion.

Liu Yuchan's inner thoughts were actually quite complex. Although he and Xiang Kunlun were brothers, they had different views on the situation in the underworld.

Xiang Kunlun sought absolute dominance, wanting the Hall of Heroes to become the most powerful force in the Underworld, and to set the rules for the Underworld.

Liu Yuchan, on the other hand, sought balance, which was the main reason he stormed the Hall of Heroes to save Cao Yanbing...

The situation with the Greedy Camp is still uncertain, but the Hall of Heroes is definitely planning something big. The fact that he sent troops towards the Greedy Camp is probably because he didn't want them to interfere with his own operations.

After all, the Greedy Camp also has the Emperor-killing Diao Lingyun. If Xiang Kunlun wants to take down the Greedy Camp, he will definitely have to do it personally, and the 100,000 troops alone are far from enough.

Logically, someone who seeks balance should side with the Greedy Camp, but the Greedy Camp's street blockade clearly indicates they've discovered something... or perhaps they're planning something big...

This is such a headache!

Liu Yuchan rubbed his temples. "Let's wait and see what Xiang Kunlun is up to..."

Seeing his words, Zhuge Yixin and Han Yuanqing both nodded. Han Yuanqing sighed softly, "The apparent peace in the Underworld probably won't last much longer..."

Liu Yuchan nodded, then asked, "Where's Tianyin? Hasn't she returned yet?"

"Yes, she said something happened on the way and she might not be back for a while..."

Chapter 107: Unable to Protect Anything

Tartarus.

Seeing that Sun Zhantian was still staring at him stubbornly, Li Moxuan reached out and patted Sun Zhantian's shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, we'll all be alright..."

Then he carried the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd toward the Thunder Cannon, while Sun Zhantian suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Moxuan's wrist, staring into his eyes and giving him a serious instruction.

"Be careful..."

"Don't worry! It's not like we're facing life and death..."

Summoning eight guardian spirits and activating the power of a Ghost King at the same time did indeed take a toll on Li Moxuan, consuming nearly half of his spiritual power.

However, as long as one of the Dragon Chess Generals can be successfully killed, the situation can be reversed. We must finish the battle quickly before the remaining Chess Generals arrive.

Moreover, even if he is defeated, he still has the system reward of a replica of the Wheel of Deity Pearl as a backup!

At its peak, the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation was so great that even Huangfu Longdou himself might not have been able to stop it...

Seeing that Li Moxuan had agreed, Sun Zhantian pursed his bloodied lips and released his grip.

She knew that given her current physical condition, if she forced herself to continue, Li Moxuan might have to pay attention to her, which would be a burden to him.

If I could unleash all my guardian spirits into martial god form, I might be able to help... but Zhou Yu, that stubborn fellow, absolutely refuses to help...

"Kid, you should be the strongest among the three, no, the four Martial God Bodies!"

Lei Pao's tone carried a hint of admiration, "Being able to take on several of us at once, even if you die here, you have every reason to be proud!"

"It's not certain who will die yet!"

Li Moxuan's eyes flashed, and his figure transformed into a bolt of black lightning, instantly appearing in front of Lei Pao and slashing down at his mask with his halberd.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Thunder, who had transformed into lightning, stood in front of Lei Pao and grabbed Li Moxuan's Cloud-Shattering and City-Breaking Halberd with one hand.
