Chapter 401 High speed, high defense, long range attack
One hundred thousand celestial soldiers, divided into several thousand flying boats, set off in a grand procession into the void.
In the void, the most intense mergers and acquisitions in recorded history are unfolding.
The Skeleton Bandits have been revealed to be the hidden forces of the Haotian Immortal Emperor in the void, and are being jointly suppressed by various forces.
At this moment, the skeleton bandits no longer hid and took out the super-grade array plates bestowed upon them by the Haotian Immortal Emperor. They used defense as offense and were fighting against the demon immortal bandits under the command of the Western Realm Immortal Emperor and the black demon bandits under the command of the Northern Realm Immortal Emperor.
Lu Zichen led his men to train in the void, just as the three sides were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. The turbulent winds and currents in the void could not dampen their fighting spirit.
Lu Zichen had been stuck at the seventh-grade array master level for many years, unable to find a good breakthrough. When he saw the array flashing ahead, he sent out scouts to inquire and learned about the three-way battle.
He distributed some resources to Si Ye and He Baiqing, who had accompanied him, and instructed them to fight a guerrilla war in the vicinity and not to stray too far.
He himself changed his appearance and hid in a small group of Void bandits, watching the demon immortal bandits, black demon bandits, and skeleton bandits fight from a distance.
The Immortal Emperors of several realms have all diligently managed the Void, so the strength they have stationed there is not bad.
Among the demons, immortals, and bandits, there is a long-nosed immortal lord with array-making supernatural powers in charge.
Among the Black Demon bandits, a formation master named Shadow Demon, who was at the Immortal King realm, was sent to break the formation.
Although Long-Nosed Immortal and Shadow Demon are only at the eighth rank of formation, when they work together, they can often generate inspiration and solve one small formation after another.
The formation master among the skeleton bandits is a personal disciple of the Haotian Immortal Emperor, with the immortal title Wuliangzi, and is also an eighth-rank formation master.
Long-Nosed Immortal and Shadow Demon broke the formation, while Quantumless guarded it.
One side has the advantage of having two people working together, which can help each other learn.
One side had an excellent understanding of its master's array formation and had also diligently refined it, so it recovered very quickly.
The two sides fought fiercely for decades without a clear victor.
However, the skeleton bandits were the besieged side, cut off from supplies, and relied entirely on the formation to soften the violent immortal energy in the void.
With limited supplies, the skeleton bandits could barely maintain their daily needs and had no way to cultivate.
The demon immortal bandits and the black demon bandits can receive supplies from their homeland, but they rely entirely on these supplies to support their daily needs, and the resources available for cultivation and improvement are pitifully scarce.
They're only slightly better than the Skeleton Bandits.
After decades of this, both sides were running out of money and were extremely angry with each other.
But both sides are still struggling.
At this point, whoever can endure will be the victor.
Not far from them, the void bandits raised by the Immortal Emperors of the Eastern and Southern Realms were all suspended in the void.
Because they do not need to wage war, their costs are much lower than those of the three parties currently at war.
However, they also found it difficult to endure these days of simply watching their efforts dwindle.
All the Void bandits were anxious, hoping that the caravans in the Void would become active soon.
Only when those spaceships, large and small, are active can they have something to rob.
The current situation, where various Void Bandits are forced to fight amongst themselves due to a lack of external resources, is truly difficult.
In short, the war in the Middle Realm affected the Void Bandits, who indulged in large meals of meat and heavy drinking.
Si Ye and He Baiqing were new "Void Bandits" with excellent equipment and abundant resources. They won several small victories in a row, annexing several groups of Void Bandits, and their ranks suddenly grew to tens of thousands.
At the same time, they also attracted the attention of the Void Bandits. Several Void Bandits stared at their gleaming flying boat, all drooling with greed.
Si Ye and He Baiqing had been fighting for many years, so they naturally knew how fierce this battle was.
Taking advantage of their superior flying boats, they cleverly and flexibly applied the sixteen-character guerrilla strategy taught to them by Zhong Lingxin: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue." They quickly made a name for themselves in the air.
Immersed in the transformation of the formation, Lu Zichen temporarily ignored them, focusing his divine sense on the two sides who were breaking and defending the formation, mentally calculating the dismantling and reconstruction of the formation again and again.
Having seen so much, Lu Zichen was secretly delighted.
As expected of a top-grade formation, and as expected of an eighth-grade formation master to break and defend it.
If it were him trying to break or defend, I really wouldn't know where to begin.
After observing and practicing in this way for several years, Lu Zichen's skill in formations improved significantly.
One day, the superior formation changed in his eyes.
It becomes clearer and more intuitive.
He knew that his formation skills had broken through the seventh rank and he was officially moving towards the eighth rank.
Lu Zichen quietly withdrew from the invisible bandit group and contacted his superiors Ye and He Baiqing.
Taking into account the travel time, they can go back now.
Si Ye and He Baiqing were also extremely happy.
After twenty years away, although they hadn't acquired any resources, they had gained a group of fierce subordinates.
If used properly, these subordinates will be invaluable tools for them to follow their master in conquering the Middle Realm.
Moreover, for the past twenty years, they have been extremely satisfied with the flying boats their masters have given them.
It is fast, has high defense, and long-range attack.
No matter how fierce the bandits in the void were, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of their flying boats.
The first training exercise in the void went even better than Zhong Lingxin and the other two had imagined.
Without the three of them needing to mobilize, the immortal soldiers that Si Ye and He Baiqing brought out proclaimed their absolute advantage in the void.
Furthermore, Zhong Lingxin and the other two readily fulfilled their promise.
Over the past twenty years, all the celestial soldiers who went into battle have received five times the resources of the resident celestial soldiers.
For all the deceased celestial soldiers whose souls had been retrieved, Zhong Lingxin invited the eminent monks of Hongfa Temple, who had recently moved to Xingye City, and she herself held a Bodhi seed to perform a ritual for them to be delivered to the afterlife.
Pure white souls drifted away before everyone's eyes.
The celestial soldiers were relieved; at worst, they would be heroes again in a thousand years.
With the help of the eminent monks of Hongfa Temple and their own master, they might have better immortal roots and higher cultivation in their next life than in this one, and be reborn into a better family.
The names of the fallen immortals were recorded, and the compensation due was distributed to their families, to be paid annually thereafter.
Now the celestial soldiers were even more at ease.
If they die and are reborn into a good family, and their relatives are well taken care of, what else could they possibly worry about?
The Void bandits who surrendered were relieved.
They felt at ease following such a master.
Just follow your three masters and do your job well.
For a time, the immortal generals vying for the second batch of expedition slots were almost fighting each other.
Several arenas were set up, and whoever won got to go.
Yu Wuqing led the team on their journey, and thousands of gleaming flying boats excitedly sailed into the void.
Yu Wuqing has returned with his team, once again sending out 100,000 immortal soldiers and several thousand flying boats. They returned with hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of flying boats.
It was Zhong Lingxin's turn.
