My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 517 - 192: Defying Orders at Huqiu Mountain, Marching Straight to the Great Capital City
Now.
Liangzhou City was almost entirely trapped within the boundary.
Only three camps of soldiers remained outside!
These three camps were forcibly deployed outside at Chen Sansi's insistence!
If it had been according to Cao Huan and others' plans, there probably wouldn't have been a single soldier outside by now, and more than a hundred thousand troops would have been trapped within the Great Wall.
"General Fang!"
Cao Huan lamented, "It is thanks to your persistence, otherwise, we really would have had nothing left but to await death."
"Even so, the situation is still not optimistic,"
Zhao Wuji said.
Even with three camps of soldiers outside.
We still need to find a way to make contact.
With the entire heavenly dome shrouded, exotic beasts like Hai Dongqing could no longer pass through at will.
"Old Big!"
Cheng Wei, the second senior brother, leaped to the front of the fog wall and, mobilizing vigorous Qi-Blood, shouted to the outside, "Ji Ji! Can you still hear us from the outside?!"
Outside the boundary.
Ji Ji and Nie Yuan had just led the troops less than twenty miles from the Great Wall when sudden abnormalities burst forth behind them.
They witnessed with their own eyes.
Above the sky of the Luotian Mountain Range, the sky seemed to tear open, spewing forth a scarlet blood mist, dyeing the entire canvas of the sky before forming a boundary that descended.
Liangzhou City was trapped!
Regardless of whether they were human or animal!
"Old Big..."
Nie Yuan pulled his horse to a halt, "What... what is this?"
"The Luotian Mountain Range."
Ji Ji made a quick judgment, "I thought my master completely abstained from the war, turns out there were problems at the core of the mountain range."
"Related to the Poisonous Beast?" Nie Yuan asked, "What should we do next?"
"Let's go back and see."
Ji Ji ordered the troops to halt their advance. He rode the Fire Horse swiftly to the boundary and, holding the Heavenly Halberd filled with rolling True Qi, struck down mightily upon the blood fog. The result was a whiff, as if the fog was truly ordinary mist, and his Heavenly Halberd smashed solidly into the ground, stirring up waves of mist that swept toward him.
He hurriedly retreated, widening the distance.
"What a peculiarly eerie boundary!"
They saw before their eyes, a sparrow fly into the mist and then dissolve into blood.
Immediately afterward, they heard the second senior brother Cheng Wei's voice.
"Old Big, can you possibly hear the sound?"
"Old Two?"
Nie Yuan hastily replied, "We can hear you!"
Suddenly.
Both sides let out a slight sigh of relief.
The essence of the great formation was the refining of flesh and blood; it had not reached the point of completely severing internal and external contact. If even communication could not be guaranteed, then it really would have been nothing left but awaiting death.
"General Ji!"
Cao Huan shouted, "Things are looking bad, we must resolve the trouble within a set time; otherwise, the millions of soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou will all be refined by this strange blood mist!"
"After you go to Huqiu Mountain, join forces with General Chen, and then immediately proceed to You State to assist in the battle. Go inside the mountain range and destroy the Array Eye," he said.
"You State."
Ji Ji nodded, "I understand."
"What comes next?"
Zhao Wuji spoke, "How do we maintain timely communication?"
The battlefield changes in an instant; even with Hai Dongqing, they couldn't guarantee real-time intelligence. They certainly couldn't always rely on shouting across the air since it was far too inefficient.
Ji Ji examined the Heavenly Halberd that had come into contact with the blood mist and remained unharmed; he quickly figured out the pattern of the formation. He took an Iron Core Bow, drew it to its full extent, and shot an arrow toward the fog wall.
"Whoosh—"
Within the fog wall.
Cao Huan and others successfully saw the arrow.

"This will do."
Ji Ji suggested a method, "We still use Hai Dongqing to carry messages, we only need to have people wait inside and outside the fog wall, then tie the messages to arrows and shoot them through the blood mist."
Once the most convenient method of communication was established.
Cao Huan directly sent the Emperor's handwritten letter outside the blood mist.
"The Emperor?"
Ji Ji, looking at the letter, grew even more solemn, "The Emperor is also inside Liangzhou City now?"
He knew in his heart that there was no time to waste and immediately led the troops toward Huqiu Mountain.
...
Langju Xu Mountain.
"The formation is complete!"
At the altar.
The High Priest of the Witch God Sect spoke faintly, "With time, Liangzhou will be devoid of humans and animals. Once the Slaughter Vein is revived, swarms of Ancient Demon Immortal Masters will flood in. Not to mention Liangzhou, Dasheng, but the entire world, the entire Eastern Continent will be ours!"
Now.
Through a great sacrifice, they had only managed to bring in a few Immortal Masters.
But if the Evil Qi revived, the heavenly and earthly seals would automatically unlock, and by then, this place would truly become the land of the Demon Clan.
Mortals.
How could they contend with gods and demons?!
"Well done."
The Great Khan Yuwen addressed the other three, "Gentlemen, shall we discuss how to divide the territories thereafter?"
"Indeed."
The Great Khan Tuoba pulled out a map he had prepared earlier.
This battle.
They were fighting with ease.
All they needed to do was guard the Array Eye; the rest would be taken care of by the Demon Clan's Immortal Masters.
Afterward, not only would they gain the world, but they would also be able to practice Demon Techniques, pursuing the Immortal Path of everlasting life.
...
The Agate River.
Early in the morning, Yu Wenxin stood atop the high slope looking toward the South, only smiling coldly with satisfaction when the expected anomaly occurred, "Excellent, it's started! Nephew, do you see it? Millions of people in Liangzhou City, along with countless livestock, have all become materials in the cauldron."
"Uncle, that's not quite right."
Yu Wenxin added, "Did you forget? There's also Chen Sansi's eight hundred Light Cavalry. After they took down Huqiu Mountain, they'll surely send people over to garrison, and there might be two camps of soldiers."
"Ah, you've improved,"
Yu Wenxin, tall as an ox, patted his nephew's shoulder, "I've already sent people to scout the situation."
