He spoke and then directly returned to the large Flying Boat nearby.The Lord of Huyang City and Commander Moli Xiao looked at each other, only able to temporarily dissipate this Divine Power Incarnation.
Inside the Flying Boat.
The three-eyed man, with an indifferent expression, sent a telepathic order, "Proceed with the plan."
"Yes."
Thousands of large Flying Boats and numerous super-large Mechanical Treasures moved at once, their might terrifying.
"Sect Leader, I had felt from the beginning that we should attack the city owner's mansion with the force of thunder," an Elder communicated telepathically, each of the Eighteen Elders already controlling a super-large Legion Mechanical Treasure.
"A large city has been built over endless years; the most central part is the city owner's mansion. It's not so easy to conquer," said the three-eyed man. "Even if we conquer it, I fear the Heartshadow Sect will also suffer some casualties.
Our opponent in this great battle is not the more than a hundred eternal true gods from the five great families of the city owner's mansion at this moment, but rather the large armies under the Marquis of Jiu Jiang."
"What the Sect Leader said is wise," another Elder agreed. "We must conserve enough strong forces; the stronger our forces, the more the Marquis Liu Yin will rely on us. And if we are significantly weakened in the fight with the large army of Marquis Jiu Jiang, our position under Marquis Liu Yin will also be lowered."
"Exactly."
The three-eyed man continued, "The strongest army in Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture is not in Huyang City, but in Jiu Jiang City. Moreover, Marquis Jiu Jiang might also call upon some powerful eternal true gods from other parts of Yu Kingdom. Thus, we must act cautiously."
"Sect Leader," a cold voice came. "War, sometimes, requires a thunderous strike, instilling fear in them. Sufficient deterrence is needed to make the armies under Marquis Jiu Jiang truly wary. You may not want the sect's disciples to suffer too many casualties, but when vying for our sect's foundation, we cannot be tender-hearted and soft-handed!"
"Our Heartshadow Sect has reached this stage; we must be cautious and united at every step," the three-eyed man expressed his headache over the strongest 'Elder Hearteye,' who did not share his view.
"I am just speaking privately to the Sect Leader," said Elder Hearteye, clearly disagreeing with the Sect Leader.
Given his temperament,
he would have destroyed the city owner's mansion at the first chance, willing to bear some casualties to completely occupy Huyang City first.
If Marquis Jiu Jiang dared send a large army, then slaughter! Slaughter until Marquis Jiu Jiang hesitates, slaughter until Marquis Jiu Jiang feels the pain!
As for the casualties of sect disciples? For the future of the sect, it's all worth it!
"Since the two venerable ancestors stand with the Sect Leader, it's fine; this Feng Yuqi may be tender-hearted and soft-handed, but he is also wholeheartedly devoted to the sect," Elder Hearteye, constrained by the instructions from two Primal Chaos Realm ancestors, could only hold it in.
...
Luo Feng, who was inside Dream Flower Tower, also received a continuous stream of messages.
At this moment, every faction within Huyang City was somewhat panic-stricken, feeling that the entire city could face significant upheaval.
"Heartshadow Sect's large army has arrived at Huyang City? With 139 super-large Legion Mechanical Treasures? With thousands of eternal true gods?" Luo Feng was stunned as he heard this, and he immediately called to his servant nearby, "Luo Sa, let's go out and take a look."
"Has something big happened?" Morosa, still eating meat, reluctantly stopped to follow his master outward.
Moyu Qingyan, Dream Flower Tower Master, also went out together.
Whoosh!
Soaring into the sky, Luo Feng looked from afar and, despite the Huyang City Formation's influence, could still see through the air and spy on the thousands of Flying Boats and numerous super-large Legion Mechanical Treasures of the Heartshadow Sect.
"Impressive force," Luo Feng admired. "Worthy of a sect established by a Godly King; decayed to this day, it remains so formidable."
The Heartshadow Sect is a standard Godly King Sect; at its peak, it was also regarded as a significant power with countless disciples.
The Duan Dong River lineage, perhaps the ancestors found training disciples too troublesome, since it was transmitted from one to the next, with the previous Duan Dong River dying in the Universe Ocean. Fortunately, Luo Feng succeeded and continued the lineage, becoming the 193rd Duan Dong River.
"Heartshadow Sect has come; Huyang City is likely to undergo a significant change," the Dream Flower Tower Master was somewhat anxious.
"Their first target would also be the city owner's mansion," Luo Feng observed from a distance when suddenly his expression changed, "This is bad."
"Master, what's the matter?" Morosa asked, and Moyu Qingyan, along with Dream Flower Tower Master, were also puzzled.
"The Heartshadow Sect's army is heading straight for the center of Huyang City, and they're currently invading the 'Primal Chaos Armor Sector's cave mansions,'" Luo Feng said urgently. "Come on, let's hurry back. Don't let them occupy my cave mansion."
"Occupying cave mansions?" Morosa was startled.
Immediately, Luo Feng, along with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, boarded the Flying Boat and traveled through the Void towards his own cave mansion.
Within the bounds of Huyang City, traveling short distances through the Void was not a difficult task for Luo Feng. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
...
At this moment, the entire city owner's mansion at the center of Huyang City was in chaos. The elites of the Five Great Families had already retreated to the city owner's mansion.
"The Heartshadow Sect is attacking?" Moli Feiyun and Diaorong Qi were among the hustling core group of the Five Great Families. The sisters looked outside, only aware of the dire situation.
"Father, Senior Brother Gaowu and the others are preparing for battle," Moli Feiyun said, worried.
"Don't worry, the city owner's mansion is not so easily conquered," Diaorong Qi reassured.
At this moment, the elite of the Five Great Families, including the Huyang Legion and Huyang Guards, had mostly retreated to the city owner's mansion, with only a few still garrisoning the three major sacred areas.
"The Heartshadow Sect claimed they were looking for a foothold, yet now they are headed straight for the city owner's mansion," an old man with white hair observed from afar.
"Is a battle about to start?" the clan leader of the Meiwu Clan said worriedly.
"All we can do now is face it," the lord of Huyang City declared.
As branches of great families, they came to Huyang City to lead comfortable lives. Who would want to fight to the death?
Yet, entangled in a conflict between two nations, they dared not surrender.
On the side of the city owner's mansion, whether it was the direct descendants of the Five Great Families who were eternal true gods or the numerous vassal eternal true gods, there were only about a hundred eternal true gods in total. Even with the unique advantages of the city owner's mansion, whether they could hold it was uncertain.
The lord of Huyang City, Commander Moli Xiao, and others looked on from afar, only to see the troops of Heartshadow Sect moving decisively towards the cave mansions in the neighboring 'Primal Chaos Armor Sector.'
"This cave mansion now belongs to the Heartshadow Sect."
"Move out quickly."
"This cave mansion, we, the Heartshadow Sect claim it."
One after another, the cave mansions were directly occupied.
Among them, the cave mansion belonging to the Zhu Clan covered a vast area, ranking among the top few super-large cave mansions in the Primal Chaos Armor Sector, much larger than Luo Feng's smaller cave mansion. Originally, it was formed by purchasing multiple cave mansions together.
"Esteemed members of the Heartshadow Sect, this is the ancestral land of the Zhu Clan," the clan leader "Zhu Hu" personally stepped forward, followed by five eternal true gods who were quite pleasing and respectful. "My Zhu Clan is willing to offer treasures in exchange for preserving our ancestral land."
"What of the ancestral land?" Suddenly, a massive golden eye descended, its voice thunderous. The giant golden eye fixed on Zhu Hu, causing him to tremble with fear; he felt a threat of death.
"Move out quickly, or none of the Zhu Clan will be spared," the massive golden eye declared. "And about your so-called offering of treasures? Let me see them. If the treasures are not precious enough, you don't need to move out. Just die here instead."
The frail old Zhu Hu's face, marked with green secret patterns, twisted. Behind him, the five eternal true gods of his clan felt somewhat desperate.
"Fine, we will move out immediately," Zhu Hu could only endure, not daring to resist in the slightest, while also obediently offering the treasures.
...
"Whose cave mansion is that?" A super-large legion mechanical treasure looked towards Luo Feng's smaller cave mansion.
"Master Uncle, that is the cave mansion of Lord Luo He," a disciple reported.
