Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 395 - 385: Even the Immortal King Is an Ant, The Correct Way to Wage War

Chapter 395: Chapter 385: Even the Immortal King Is an Ant, The Correct Way to Wage War

Soon, the ark carrying the two of them arrived at the border of the Mogu Immortal Realm.

Just as they were about to enter the Immortal Domain, the Domain Protection Array activated, isolating Lin Dong and Xiao Huo’s ark outside the array.

The next second, a burly middle-aged man wearing a Purple Gold Battle Robe, wielding a pitch-black broadsword, blocked the ark’s path.

The burly man was named Xiao Yang, one of the three marshals guarding the border of the Mogu Immortal Realm, possessing a terrifying cultivation at the Celestial Immortal Second Realm!

He could be considered one of the top figures in the Mogu Immortal Realm. Usually, he would remain at the rear, not personally guarding the border, but he appeared here and intercepted the Heaven Shepherd Alliance’s ark, showing that the Mogu Immortal Realm was prepared to confront the Heaven Shepherd Alliance head-on.

Although the Senyao Immortal Realm and Cyan Radiance Immortal Realm had been secretly resisting, not accepting the annexation of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, they did not openly prevent the alliance’s envoys from entering their realms.

Yet the Mogu Immortal Realm was openly preparing to confront the Heaven Shepherd Alliance directly.

"Please return, esteemed guests, but my Mogu Immortal Realm will not join your Heaven Shepherd Alliance. If you dare to take another step forward, do not blame me for resorting to arms."

Xiao Yang, holding his broadsword, unleashed his aura and said angrily.

Hearing these words, even the usually good-natured Xiao Huo was infuriated.

Because the Mogu Immortal Realm was under the command of the Celestial Peace Divine Realm, and ever since their Heaven Shepherd Alliance conquered the Celestial Peace Divine Realm a few hundred years ago, the alliance advocated a policy of initially using a gentle approach to reclaim these realms, combining kindness and might, aiming for the Immortal Domains to willingly submit. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Therefore, over the past few hundred years, the Heaven Shepherd Alliance has voluntarily provided substantial resources to the Mogu Immortal Realm as compensation, and even sent alliance experts to establish Dao Lineages in the Mogu Immortal Realm, allowing some of the young talented prodigies of the alliance to come to the Mogu Immortal Realm to train.

This method was highly effective, as through it, many Immortal Realm Worlds under the Celestial Peace Divine Realm’s command willingly and peacefully submitted without any military force, recognizing that the Heaven Shepherd Alliance was a good leader that would lead them to greater strength.

This is also why the Senyao Immortal Realm and Cyan Radiance Immortal Realm did not hinder them when seeing the Heaven Shepherd Alliance’s ark, as they too had somewhat benefited from the alliance, whether due to the fear of the alliance’s power or gratitude for its benefits.

Xiao Huo believed that the alliance’s plan was very wise: first offering a sweet deal to secure the position of these Immortal Domains, and if they refused, then a slap would follow.

But in the Mogu Immortal Realm, they directly barred them from entering and shut them out.

After receiving the alliance’s benefits for hundreds of years, was it all for nothing?

Moreover, many excellent elites and young prodigies from the alliance were still in the Mogu Immortal Realm, were they planning to keep them?

Thus, even the usually mild-tempered Xiao Huo was angered by Xiao Yang’s attitude.

"So, have you been receiving our alliance’s benefits in vain for hundreds of years?"

Xiao Huo asked with a cold laugh.

If you were really that tough, truly had a backbone, why did you accept our benefits from the start?

There were indeed some genuinely tough worlds that started off very strong, refusing the alliance’s benefits and help. For those, there was no sugar-coating, just direct military suppression.

But you, the Mogu Immortal Realm, accepted resources and manpower for hundreds of years, and now you suddenly have a backbone and refuse to submit. Where in the world does such a good thing exist?

"I cannot comment on this matter!"

"Leave at once!"

Xiao Yang dared not confront the question directly, holding his broadsword and pointing at Xiao Huo and Lin Dong.

"Then let’s fight!"

A voice sounded from behind.

"Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!"

In the next second, the Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger directly suppressed Xiao Yang. Seeing this, Xiao Yang activated his cultivation technique, holding his broadsword to resist, as Immortal Light clashed against the Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger.

Boom—

The sound of gold and stone clashing rang out. Xiao Yang’s attack was instantly swallowed, and amid endless terror, he was obliterated by the Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, unable to even utter a scream.

"Why waste words with him? Just fight," Lin Dong said with a cold snort after killing Xiao Yang. "What do you say, Ah Xiao?"

"Then let’s fight!"

With that, Xiao Huo threw a Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus towards the grand array ahead.

The powerful Anomalous Fire instantly shattered the grand array and incinerated all the cultivators guarding the border.

Seeing this scene, Lin Dong finally showed a satisfied smile, as if saying, "Finally, you’ve come around."

...

Just like that, the two broke through the defenses of the Mogu Immortal Realm and fought their way inside.

"Senior Brother, should we head straight for the Imperial City?" Xiao Huo asked.

In the previous two operations, the senior brother always made a direct assault, capturing the leader first.

"No, this time is different."

"The strength of the Mogu Immortal Realm is approaching that of a Middle-Rank Immortal Realm. There are two Immortal Kings and more than a dozen Celestial Immortal High Realm experts."

"Although the two of us are both in the Immortal King Realm and can handle things individually."

"But the Mogu Immortal Realm’s Imperial City has an eight-grade Immortal Array laid. Once that grand array activates, we will be at a disadvantage."

From Lin Dong’s words, it was clear that he was a bold and meticulous person.

"Let’s put away the ark first; it’s too conspicuous."

With that, Lin Dong waved his hand, stowing away the ark and concealing their aura.

"Follow me."

Quickly, the two snuck into the Sacred City of the Mogu Immortal Realm, the highest power center of the realm, heavily guarded and extremely prosperous.

It was night.

The two hid in the void.

"Ah Xiao, do you see that grand hall?" Lin Dong pointed at a Glazed Golden Hall.

"I see it, then what?" Xiao Huo nodded.

"How many Fire Lotuses do you have left?"

"Twelve more."

"Good, take one, aim at that grand hall, and throw it."

"What?? Alright!"

The next second, boom—

The entire Sacred City was alight with flames, the ground quaking, and all the cultivators were alarmed.

A Vice Domain Master’s residence was engulfed in raging flames, destroying everything, including the Vice Domain Master!

In an instant, the entire Mogu Immortal Realm was thrown into panic.

...

The next day, the two continued to hide in the void.

"Ah Xiao, over there, throw it for me!"

"Got it!"

Boom—

Under the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus, the entire grand hall residence was reduced to ashes, not a single piece left!

Another Vice Domain Master perished in the sea of fire, and suddenly the entire Sacred City began to panic, speculating how the deaths occurred?

Power struggle? Enemies? Internal affairs??

...

On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day.

A Fire Lotus a day shattered the Sacred City, leaving it riddled with scars, and many cultivators dared not stay there any longer.

In these six days, five Vice Domain Masters were all blown to pieces, along with the deaths of seven or eight top experts in the Celestial Immortal High Realm.

The most crucial part was that the formation core for the grand array was precisely located at the residences of the five Vice Domain Masters. Once all were destroyed, that eight-grade Immortal Array became ineffective.

All obstacles were removed, leaving only the two biggest nuisances.

"Alright, Ah Xiao, no need to hide any longer; let’s finish this."

With that, Lin Dong emerged from the void, unleashing his full aura!
