The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2579: Chapter 2579: Five Hundred White Robes

Although the Eight Gods Pill Sect is a superpower, it is not known for its combat capabilities. The important members within the Eight Gods Pill Sect are mostly Pill Masters. Those in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm are the same. A Pill Master is naturally not comparable to an ordinary cultivator, so it is obviously not suitable to be used as cannon fodder in battle.

The Eight Gods Pill Sect has also specifically hired many cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Level to fight for them.

Before the emergence of Hongmeng City, in terms of wealth, the Eight Gods Pill Sect was absolutely the richest among all superpowers. No one knows exactly how much wealth the Eight Gods Pill Sect possesses. Hiring Immortal Venerables to fight for them is no burden for the Eight Gods Pill Sect. As long as they are willing to pay a high commission, naturally there are plenty of Loose Cultivator Immortal Venerables willing to be hired.

”Alright!” Upon hearing Mingze Sect Master’s words, Yu Hentian nodded in agreement.

”We, the Moon Frost Sect, will not participate in this probing attack,” said Zhang Jianjun, the Sect Leader of Moon Frost Sect, coldly.

In fact, the Moon Frost Sect did not send many people this time, only dozens of cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Realm, and their strength is relatively strong, almost all at the late-stage or peak of Immortal Venerable.

Yu Hentian glanced at Zhang Jianjun.

It is understandable that Zhang Jianjun said the Moon Frost Sect would not participate in the probing attack. The Moon Frost Sect was originally here to assist. Speaking of, the alliance army from Yama Palace waging war against Hongmeng City originally has nothing to do with the Moon Frost Sect. No matter whether Hongmeng City or the Yama Palace alliance army loses, the Moon Frost Sect in the Extreme North will not be affected.

Yu Hentian cannot demand the Moon Frost Sect do anything. That they could come with dozens of powerful Immortal Venerables to assist is already a good enough gesture.

As for those ten or so top-tier first-class forces, they obediently sent people as well without much to say. The plan Yu Hentian proposed was considered quite fair. Although each force contributed one Immortal Venerable, the first-class forces contributed thirty fewer cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Level than the superpowers. What else could the leaders of the first-class forces present say?

In the end, everyone, except for the Moon Frost Sect, obediently sent people to form the probing attack team. This team is led by a Blue-clothed Killing Star from Yama Palace. The Yellow Robed Killing Star from Yama Palace is also at the Immortal Venerable Level and is quite outstanding in attack capabilities.

Inside Hongmeng City.

Jing Yan, Meng Kun, and Lan Zan were floating in the air, watching the direction outside the city. Behind the three were many strong individuals at the Immortal Venerable Peak Level. In Hongmeng City, counting Hongmeng City itself, there are three superpowers, and a few powerful first-class forces are also present. Although the number of strong individuals is fewer than the Yama Palace alliance army, there are indeed quite a few.

”It seems that Yu Hentian plans to test the waters first,” Grandmaster Lan Zan said with a smile, as he looked at a team emerging from the opposing camp and immediately understood that it was a probing attack force.

”Haha, they probably want to see the capabilities of Hongmeng City’s Guardian Array!” Chairman Meng Kun chuckled and continued, ”City Lord Jing Yan, surely you won’t let that old fellow Yu Hentian be disappointed, right?”

”Of course! However, with such a small number of people, they want to test Hongmeng City’s Guardian Array? That’s not enough,” Jing Yan also chuckled.

Jing Yan’s eyes were also on the emerging team from the opposite side. Within this team, there are no particularly strong individuals. If there were strong Immortal Venerable Peaks, Jing Yan would also recognize them. In such a war, of course, Jing Yan must know both the enemy and himself, so the intelligence department had long investigated most of the Immortal Venerable level cultivators in the Yama Palace alliance army and reported this information to Jing Yan.

”City Lord Jing Yan, how about leaving this appetizer to be handled by my Golden Toad Commerce? I’ll send a team to wipe out their probing team outside the city.” Chairman Meng Kun said with a smile.

”The first battle should be left to me, the host here!” Jing Yan shook his head and smiled.

”City Lord Jing Yan, you don’t plan to deploy the Thunder Warriors, do you?” Grandmaster Lan Zan looked at Jing Yan and asked.

The Thunder Warriors of Hongmeng City had already been witnessed by countless cultivators before.

”Haha, to wipe out this group of cannon fodder, there’s no need to deploy the Thunder Warriors. None of us even need to leave the city!” Jing Yan smiled slightly.

”Oh?” Grandmaster Lan Zan and Chairman Meng Kun both turned their eyes to Jing Yan.

No need to leave the city?

If they don’t leave the city, then it would mean using the city’s Attack Array to wipe out the opponent. In that case, wouldn’t it allow the opponent to test the power of the city’s array? At least parts of it could be tested! It’s simple logic; the opponent’s probing team is certainly not foolish enough to charge without taking action while waiting for the Attack Array to kill them. They would also strike from a distance to bombard Hongmeng City’s array. During this process, the power of the array is likely to be tested out quite a bit.

”Gentlemen, you will see in a moment!” Jing Yan did not immediately explain.

...

The probing team from the Yama Palace alliance army flew towards Hongmeng City, continuously approaching.

”Ding Hong!” Jing Yan suddenly called out.

As his words fell, five hundred cultivators slowly flew out from a building not far from the City Lord Mansion.

These five hundred cultivators appeared quite unique at first glance. They all wore the same long robes, as white as snow.

The five hundred white-robed cultivators marched uniformly to Jing Yan’s vicinity.

”City Lord!” All five hundred saluted Jing Yan.

The leading figures among them were Ding Hong, Bang Ao, and others who were first selected by Xu Yiming as cultivators with high soul cultivation talent.

”Ding Hong, take your squad and eliminate that team from the Yama Palace alliance flying towards Hongmeng City. Remember, do not let them enter the range where they can attack the city array!” Jing Yan issued an order to Ding Hong.

”Yes!” Ding Hong responded.

”Go!” With a gentle wave of Ding Hong’s hand, ninety-nine white-robed cultivators immediately moved behind him.

That’s right, these people are all Soul Cultivators.

After more than twenty thousand years, the soul cultivation army of Hongmeng City had taken shape. The number of Soul Cultivators in Hongmeng City is almost close to one thousand. Among these, five hundred are relatively stronger and capable of performing some Soul Technique attacks.

Ding Hong led his squad of ninety-nine Soul Cultivators to the edge of the city but did not leave the city’s coverage. They were all under the protection of the city’s array.

”Layer Master Jing Yan, this... their aura seems a bit different!” Grandmaster Lan Zan frowned as he looked at these white-robed cultivators, vaguely sensing that these cultivators were extraordinary, but for the time being, he couldn’t figure out what made them different.

No one can blame him!

Who would have thought that Jing Yan could form a soul cultivation team?

Throughout the entire Heavenly Domain, the number of Soul Cultivators is also very few. Before this, no force had ever been able to assemble a soul cultivation team.
