Chapter 256 Outside the Military Camp
The last one is a Taoist celestial being residing in Qianzhou – Immortal Yunyi.
He originally lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, cultivating himself and not concerning himself with worldly affairs.
Possessing the Qiankun Talisman Scripture, with the power of Qiankun as its foundation, it wields the most mysterious and powerful force in the world.
Those who cultivate this scripture will naturally exude an ancient and profound aura, as if they themselves are a bridge connecting heaven and earth and spanning the past and present.
No need for fancy moves or elaborate cloud formations; a simple flick of the finger, a palm strike, or a sword strike is all it takes.
It can then draw upon the power of heaven and earth to form powerful runes or magic arrays, directly suppressing or destroying enemies.
During this crisis in the Great Qian Dynasty, he volunteered to do his part for the royal family.
The combined strength of these five is a rare lineup in the world today.
Their mission was clear—to launch a surprise attack on the Flame King and decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop!
Night fell, and the starlight dimmed.
The five people transformed into five streaks of light and silently descended upon the border of Yanzhou.
Instead of heading straight for the Yan King's camp, they chose to settle in a remote location.
After all, the Flame King is no pushover, and acting rashly might alert him.
After landing, the five quickly exchanged glances, then dispersed to scout out their surroundings.
Their movements were light and agile, like ghosts, moving freely through the night.
Soon after, five figures rapidly approached from different directions, eventually converging at a single point.
At this moment, their faces all looked unusually solemn, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.
The objective this time is to investigate the true strength and weaknesses of the Yan King's camp.
However, what they saw and heard put them under unprecedented pressure.
The Yan King's camp, as the core of this rebellion, was defended far more tightly than they had imagined.
Exposed and concealed sentry posts were scattered all around, each post equipped with elite soldiers whose eyes were as sharp as eagles, constantly scanning the surrounding area for any movement.
The hidden posts, lurking in the shadows, are even more difficult to guard against, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, making them elusive and unpredictable.
In addition to these overt defensive forces, countless martial arts practitioners were also stationed inside the camp.
These martial arts figures were all hired by King Yan at great expense. They were skilled in swordsmanship, fist fighting, or hidden weapons, and each of them was a master with unique skills.
This undoubtedly made the defense of the Yan King's camp even more formidable.
However, what shocked the five of them the most were the three experts in internal energy at the Celestial Realm level inside the camp.
Although these three were not considered top experts in the Celestial Realm, they were not taken seriously by the five of them.
However, their strength should not be underestimated.
It should be understood that the Celestial Realm is already the pinnacle of the martial arts world, and every Celestial Realm master possesses earth-shattering power.
The combined power of these three is unimaginable.
"Where did the Flame King find these experts?"
The Demon Lord Xiaotian, standing to one side, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
They were all top figures in the martial arts world, so they naturally knew that these masters were not simple people.
Although the Yan King was a king of a different surname in the Great Qian Dynasty, it was by no means easy for him to command such a master.
"It seems there are many people behind the Flame King that we don't know about."
The white-haired and bearded old man, Yunyi, spoke in a deep voice.
Clearly, there's something behind this rebellion by the Flame King.
There are also many people behind the scenes who have been continuously supporting him.
They may be the real instigators of this rebellion.
As for the Flame King, he was merely a puppet they pushed to the forefront.
"Those damned rats!"
Among the five, Jing Yaoyan, the head of the Suspended Mirror Division, had an even more ashen face and shouted angrily in a low voice.
As the head of the Suspended Mirror Bureau, he was naturally aware of the shady dealings behind it all.
These people behind the scenes have been secretly manipulating everything.
They exploited the rebellion of the Yan King to achieve their own goals, completely disregarding the lives and deaths of innocent civilians.
The fall of Xiong'an City and the subsequent massacre of the five major families after their surrender were clearly the work of these behind-the-scenes figures.
As a result, the five major families were immediately slaughtered after surrendering.
That makes sense.
To cover up their crimes, they are willing to sacrifice the lives of innocent people; such behavior is utterly outrageous.
Jing Yaoyan took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart.
He knew that now was not the time to be angry; they needed to calm down and carefully analyze the current situation.
With the Flame King's camp so heavily fortified, it would obviously be difficult for them to force their way in.
King Yan and his advisors were clearly prepared for this move by the Great Qian Dynasty.
They meticulously planned and attempted to build an impregnable defense.
However, in the end they still miscalculated, not because they didn't try hard enough, but because they didn't understand the true foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty.
This is like a chess player who only sees the next few moves when setting up the board, but ignores the opponent's trump cards and special moves.
Or perhaps their limited perspective prevented them from making adequate preparations.
They underestimated the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty!
The Great Qian Dynasty, as one of the five great dynasties, possesses a historical depth and accumulated resources that far exceed what is visible on the surface.
Even a broken boat has three pounds of nails!
Not to mention the Great Qian Dynasty, which ranks among the top of the five great dynasties.
Previously, the Great Qian Dynasty had always fought against you on the battlefield in a fair and square manner.
Isn't it good for everyone to give and take?
Now look what's happened, you're resorting to underhanded tactics, aren't you?
Okay.
We're laying our cards on the table. You're using underhanded tactics. We, the five great dynasties, are your true fathers!
When the Great Qian Dynasty makes a move, it's a force capable of overwhelming most of the forces on the Tianwu Continent.
Although nowadays, because the Flame King is on guard.
Infiltrating the camp undetected was no easy task.
However, this did not deter the five people in the slightest.
They exchanged a glance, a hint of determination and resolve flashing in their eyes.
Now that we've come this far, we absolutely cannot leave empty-handed!
Three mere ordinary Celestials—if the Flame King or those behind the scenes didn't have a backup plan.
These three were not even worth considering by the five of them.
Therefore, the five people began to express their opinions and brainstorm ideas, and soon came up with a meticulous and detailed plan.
According to the plan, the Taoist celestial being would be responsible for creating chaos and attracting attention.
Meanwhile, the old eunuch from the Daqian Imperial Palace and the head of the Xuanjing Division took the opportunity to sneak into the camp to search for the Yan King's whereabouts.
Once the target is found, the royal patriarch and the royal retainers will join forces to launch a fatal blow!
After the plan was finalized, the five people dispersed again to prepare on their own.
As night deepened, the moonlight shone like silver.
Swish!
The five men were like five sharp swords, pointing straight at the heart of the Yan King's camp!
An earth-shattering battle is about to begin...
The Taoist Celestial Being, Immortal Yunyi, was the first to make a move. He stood atop the clouds, his eyes slightly closed, his expression solemn, as if he were one with heaven and earth.
