Chapter 176: The Battle of the Subjugation of a Nation

He saw that the space three meters in front of him was distorted and blurred.

The next moment, the mirror that looked like ripples on a lake appeared in front of Yan Xiu after a long absence.

Yan Xiu suddenly felt a great sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second the mirror reflected a series of scenes that made him want to tear his eyes out.

Under Sang Qingshan's orders, all dynasties loyal to Lingxu Palace declared war on the Yuan Dynasty.

Although they are not as strong as the Yuan Dynasty, many ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that there is Lingxu Palace behind them.

Many dynasties and kingdoms launched armies to invade the Yuan Dynasty, and some dynasties that had been secretly plotting for a long time also waited for an opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

In less than half a year, the Yuan Dynasty lost fifty states.

Under Sang Qingshan's instructions, all the conquered Yuan territories were left with only the land but no people.

Inhumane massacres were staged every day, and there were more than a hundred Jingguans built in just one city.

For a time, the entire Yuan Dynasty was plunged into a state of war, countless people were displaced, and the land was devastated.

After Tang Zheng learned the news, he immediately mobilized troops from all over the country and went to the battlefield to resist the invasion.

At the beginning, those invading dynasties were no match for the Yuan cavalry. They were often knocked to the ground by a head-on attack, and their morale was greatly disrupted.

Too bad it didn't last long.

Lingxu Palace relied on the advantages of its large number of people and extraordinary realm. Led by the Tiangang realm, more than ten Tianyuan realm disciples, and hundreds of Xiantian realm disciples formed a team and entered the battlefield like a divine army descending from the sky.

In just half a month, all the generals commanding the Yuan Dynasty were assassinated. For a time, the army was leaderless and in chaos.

After hearing the news, the martial artists of the Yuan Dynasty responded one after another. Countless sects sent disciples and elders to join the army to protect the safety of the generals.

It’s a pity that in front of the Tiangang Realm warriors, the Xiantian Realm is like an ant, and the Tianyuan Realm can’t resist the power of a palm.

Even the general who was protected by the entire sect could not escape the disaster.

Without a commander, the Yuan army was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in chaos and being easily defeated.

For a time, everyone in the Yuan Dynasty was in danger. Generals with the ability to command troops did not dare to show up to command, for fear that their lives would be taken away without their knowledge.

In desperation, the emperor had to order his troops to defend the city and no longer go out to fight the enemy, but Lingxu Palace would not stop.

They wander around like ghosts, ruthlessly harvesting lives like the god of death.

After a year, more than half of the 160 states of the Yuan Dynasty had been occupied, and the remaining dozen or so states were surrounded by the dynasty controlled by Lingxu Palace.

The territory and power of the Yuan Dynasty shrank to an unprecedented level, and violent conflicts and civil unrest broke out within the country.

Some people advocated surrender, saying that as long as the Fuzhen Temple was handed over to the Lingxu Palace, the others would be able to survive.

This news caused an immediate uproar.

When the emperor found out about this, he was furious and had the entire family of the minister who proposed this move executed.

People began to flock to Fuzhen Temple one after another, asking the Taoist Master to take action to suppress Lingxu Palace.

Frightened by the unpredictable methods of Lingxu Palace, the clone left behind by Yan Xiu not only had to stay in Fuzhen Temple, but also had to protect the safety of the emperor and other confidential ministers.

Faced with the requests of countless people, the clone could only sigh helplessly and had no way to take action himself.

When the news that Yan Xiu could not take action to protect the disciples of Fuzhen Temple and the emperor came out, the spiritual world of countless people collapsed in an instant.

The lives of your disciples in Fuzhen Temple and the emperor are lives, but are the lives of millions of ordinary people not lives?

Some people who had long been filled with resentment began their own revenge.

Not only did they smash the statues of the Taoist master in their homes, they also broke into Taoist temples dedicated to the Taoist master and injured the disciples and abbots in the temple. Without any explanation, they smashed the golden statue of the Taoist master in the main hall into pieces.

For a time, people started to cut down mountains and destroy temples at Fuzhen Temple.

More and more people began to stop believing in the Taoist master and instead began to worship many wild gods and evil sacrifices that emerged from nowhere.

Under this influence, the fortune of the Yuan Dynasty plummeted to the bottom in an instant. Various disasters occurred in various places, and countless refugees revolted. There were signs that the remaining territory of the Yuan Dynasty would be split up and each of them would declare themselves kings.

Emperor Tang Zheng knew that this was not a solution, so he went to Dayuan Mountain in person to seek help from the Taoist Master.

So half a month later, the Yuan Dynasty had a head-on war with many invading dynasties, and the ghostly Lingxu Palace seemed to be a beast that smelled blood and attacked again.

But this time they did not succeed, but instead lost a lot of good people.

When Lingxu Palace attacked, Helian Cheng had already broken through the Tiangang realm and swept away all the disciples of Lingxu Palace by himself. Even the leader of the Tiangang realm was no match for him and fled with serious injuries.

When this good news was reported back to the capital, it caused a carnival, with countless people shouting Helian Cheng's name.

But this plan can only work once. Having learned their lesson, Lingxu Palace will naturally not fall into the trap a second time.

In the subsequent battles, under the power of Helian Cheng, the Yuan Dynasty won several consecutive victories, which really allowed Tang Zheng, who had been frustrated for a long time, to vent his anger.

Unfortunately, things did not develop as most people expected.

During a certain battle, Lingxu Palace Master Sang Qingshan attacked with lightning speed. Helian Cheng had no time to react and was killed in his hands, without a trace left.

After losing the deterrence of Helian Cheng, the enemy had no scruples and gradually approached the capital at the rate of annexing 300 miles of Yuan territory every day.

When the people heard the news, they were terrified and fled with large amounts of gold and silver.

At one time, countless cities were deserted and people had to leave their homes to escape the war.

When the army approached within a hundred miles of the capital, the streets of the entire city were empty, no longer as bustling as before.

Not only did civilians flee for their lives, but even some officials escaped.

Even the aristocratic families that had survived on this land for a hundred years fled in panic, not daring to stay.

After all, Lingxu Palace also said that only the land would be left and no one would be left alive.

Tang Zheng rejected Ding Xisheng's suggestion and did not choose to run away. Even if he would die under the swords of the enemy army in the end, he would never escape.

Thousands of disciples from Fuzhen Temple also came down the mountain, determined to serve the country until death.

They used the remaining national fortune of the Yuan Dynasty as the core of the formation and the capital as the foundation to build a large formation.

The formation was like an inverted porcelain bowl, transparent throughout and flowing with colorful light, covering the entire vast capital city.

The Dao Master was the core person controlling the formation and was in charge personally.

This formation was obtained from the Holy Land of Yuexian. Even though I am not proficient in it, I have no choice but to use it at this moment.
