The next day.
Huang Ce and the civil and military officials rushed to Liuu Jingtun to send off the troops embarking on the expedition.
After drinking the farewell wine, Wang Xiaoqiang, under the hopeful and expectant gazes of the crowd, led his troops and set out.
Eleven Myriad Circle Spirit Formations and eleven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations, formed in pairs, majestically advanced towards Yue Land.
Wang Xiaoqiang, seated in the General's Immortal Carriage, followed towards Yue Land, escorted by dozens of capable personal guards. Guan Qingsi, Jiang Yingxue, Sai Ya, and Xiaoo Jianmei were arranged to be the Great General's logistics support, taking care of Wang Xiaoqiang alone.
A thousand miles journey was completed in a day.
By almost dusk of the day, the army arrived at Yue Land.
Ultimately, under Wang Xiaoqiang's arrangement, the army camped outside the bustling Wild Goose City. Wild Goose City bordered Yue Land and faced a Wall Formation from afar.
Wang Xiaoqiang knew that war was not a matter of a day or two, but rather a relatively long process, so he intended to make Wild Goose City the army's backup supply station, with Wild Goose City providing the necessary rations for the battle. Unexpectedly, Wild Goose City had already surrendered to the rebel army.
When the army arrived, Wild Goose City's gates were tightly shut. Wang Xiaoqiang ordered his soldiers to approach and knock, shouting out, yet not only did the gates refuse to open, but the soldiers on the city wall even launched arrows at them. Two soldiers knocking on the gate were killed on the spot.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaoqiang was immediately enraged.
With a thought, the Path of Courage flew out from his body, swelling in the wind, and eventually became as large as city gates, gleaming with golden light. Inside was embedded a lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm, crackling with electric arcs. It had become twice as massive as before, its power several times stronger, intimidating the soldiers guarding Wild Goose City to tremble all over.
With a point of his right hand towards Wild Goose City's gates, the word "Courage" boomed forward, crashing directly into the gates.
Boom!!!!
With an earth-shattering noise, the gates of Wild Goose City were smashed open, shattered into pieces, finally reducing to a pile of powder.
The lightning within the word "Courage" exploded simultaneously, with a crack like the Divine Thunder of the Nine Heavens striking, it detonated, blasting the city tower into pieces, large and small stones were flung away, scattering everywhere, and the soldiers on the tower were blasted into corpse fragments, blood and flesh smeared the ground.
It seemed like human hell.
With the city gates blown open and the tower overturned, Wang Xiaoqiang activated a Myriad Circle Spirit Formation and a Thousand-Position Spirit Formation and entered Wild Goose City.
The defenders of Wild Goose City flew in successively to support and were brutally slaughtered by the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation.
Under the mighty Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, those defenders had virtually no power to resist, all meeting their deaths, becoming a pile of corpses.
The Myriad Circle Spirit Formation was unstoppable. Under the cover of the Thousand-Position Spirit Formation, Wang Xiaoqiang led it directly towards the City Lord's Mansion of Wild Goose City.
Upon reaching above the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Xiaoqiang released the Path of Courage again, aiming at the majestic gates of the City Lord's Residence, ramming into them.
Boom!!
The gates were shattered, exploding outward.
"Breach the gates, first destroy the ancestors!" Wang Xiaoqiang swept with his Divine Sense, locating the ancestral hall of the City Lord's Mansion and charged the Path of Courage towards it.
With another boom, the ancestral hall instantly collapsed under the crash of the word "Courage," turning into a heap of rubble.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion were in disarray, men and women, young and old, scurried about, and those with cultivation bases naturally fled in time.
Wang Xiaoqiang did not give them the chance to escape, placing down the Spirit Fixing Disk, which inflated with the wind,
As Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base increased, the power of the Spirit Fixing Disk enhanced, eventually becoming as large as a tree crown, casting down an enormous light curtain, completely enveloping the massive City Lord's Residence within it.
The people attempting to escape were bounced back upon hitting the light curtain, screaming in fear, each wearing an expression of panic.
"People of the City Lord's Mansion, listen, bring the City Lord out promptly to talk, or I'll massacre the City Lord's Residence, leaving neither chicken nor dog!" While using the Spirit Fixing Disk to tightly confine the City Lord's Residence, Wang Xiaoqiang shouted, his voice spreading like rolling thunder, the entire Wild Goose City was buzzing from his voice, terrifying the city's civilians into hiding in their homes, not daring to come out.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion was in greater chaos, the men and women, old and young, scurried about like ants on a hot pan, yet not knowing where to hide, trembling under heaven, people were even more frantic.
"Ignorant child, I'll fight you!" The steward of the City Lord's Mansion flew up, charging directly at Wang Xiaoqiang.
Seeing that he was merely at the Immortal Venerable Stage, Wang Xiaoqiang summoned the Patterned Beast, which flew from his back, roaring angrily at the steward,
Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled playfully, saying, "Baby, hungry, huh? Here comes the food, eat well to fight well!"
As the steward rushed over, before he could reach Wang Xiaoqiang, the Patterned Beast charged at him, its blood-red mouth opened wide, swallowing him whole.
The Patterned Beast, now more than ten times the size of a regular tiger, swallowed a human like gulping down a meatball, without a hitch.
Like the wind sweeping up clouds.
Simple and decisive.
Quickly the steward was inside its stomach.
The Patterned Beast burped contently, letting out a satisfied sound, though it sounded not quite fully satisfied.
By now, no one dared to take flight and seek death.
Wang Xiaoqiang used force to impose sound, saying, "If the City Lord doesn't come out to speak soon, I'll kill one person every minute."
Upon hearing this, the people below became even more frantic, rushing indoors, no one daring to expose themselves.
A minute quickly passed.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang saw a True Immortal Realm cultivator hiding in the study of the main hall below, face filled with venomous hatred, focused and vigilant, clutching an Immortal Sword, seemingly waiting to strike at the opportune moment.
With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang sent the Patterned Beast down, crashing open the roof of the main hall's study, pouncing towards the sword-wielding person.
The person was tense, eyes filled with immense fear, urging the Immortal Sword, Sword Light as vast as a mountain, slashing towards the Patterned Beast.
The Patterned Beast wielded eight Demon Arms, one waving to knock the Immortal Sword to the ground, then pounced forward, a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, swallowing the person into its belly. Only the person's screams could be heard from the Patterned Beast's blood-red mouth, sounding dull, bizarre, terrifying!
After swallowing another person, the Patterned Beast finally felt full, contently burped, then flew above, yet just as it flew out of the main hall, a red shadow flashed, and a curtain came falling overhead, covering it.
The curtain was entirely blood-red, shining with red light, accompanied by extremely pure Fire Element Spiritual Energy.
After being covered by the curtain, the Patterned Beast, using its eight-armed Demon Claw, tore at it chaotically, finally ripping open the curtain after much effort, and flew upwards.
A woman's figure flashed, appearing below the curtain. With a slender hand, she seized the torn curtain in her hand, and from her arm flowed a stream of red, pure Spirit Energy, transmitting to the curtain, quickly repairing the damage.
Then this woman bit her fingertip, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the curtain. Suddenly, the red curtain burned blood-red, with the Spiritual Energy atop it seeming to burn.
With a whoosh, the entire curtain opened like an umbrella and floated up, becoming a blood-colored curtain a square yard in size.
"Go!!"
With a delicate shout from the woman, her jade finger flicked, and the blood-colored curtain was flicked up like a handkerchief, spinning continuously, charging towards Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang saw this woman to be eighteen or nineteen years old, beautifully delicate as a flower, slender and graceful, with a naturally lofty air between her brows, eyes clear as autumn water, warm and bright, yet her eyes were filled with hostility when looking at him, making him displeased.
This woman possessed the Threefold Spiritual Root of Gold, Wood, and Fire, with extraordinary talent, reaching the First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage at a young age, not to be underestimated. However, Wang Xiaoqiang did not regard it as significant,
Seeing her use pure Fire Element Spiritual Energy and mouthful of Essence Blood to urge a blood-colored curtain towards him, he couldn't help but gaze coldly at the girl, sneering, "Miss, making a big fuss over nothing, why use a menstrual cloth just for a fight?"
