Chapter 340: Grim News

, then you can create a hidden paradise, accommodating more high-quality spiritual energy. For example, places like the [Nurturing Qi Hall] by the vast sea, where blue spiritual energy is visible ever...Even the most junior card makers' apprentices wouldn't be so foolish as to dry up a pond and then fish in it.

But now, a real-deal card master is going crazy spending! He's afraid he won't be able to use it all up!

Lu Cheng had completely let go of all restraint, using whatever he could, discarding it after use, without any hesitation, leaving the enemy with nothing.

To strengthen the legion, to have a sliver of a chance of victory... If push comes to shove, even if Chang'an falls... Maybe we can still break out and survive until the next card is drawn.

Lu Cheng is choosing a location for 【The Lair of the Xuanjiao】........

Huo Qubing led a small troop to gallop.

"General Huo, you're back with things again I was going to tell you..." Lu Cheng noticed that Huo Qubing's face was ashen and unusually gloomy.

"Lu Ge...."

"What's wrong The enemy found us, they're chasing after us" Lu Cheng asked hurriedly.

"No." Huo Qubing shook his head. "I've discovered some things, pieced together into a message."

"What news" Seeing Huo Qubing's grim expression, could it be...

"Brother Lu, the dazzling exterior of 【Truthful Garden】 actually has an underlying reason!" Huo Qubing gritted his teeth and said: "The resources are beyond imagination, over sixty wonders scattering magical winds across the land, a paradise like no other, isn't that right"

"That's right, this place is truly prosperous. No wonder the Moon Goddess can support an army of millions with it. Give me this place, and in time, I could make it just as bountiful!" Lu Cheng said.

"Do you know, I've learned that only half the resources here have been sent to the front lines, and the other half... there's a mystery behind it!" Huo Qubing said.

"What's the mystery" Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Huo Qubing had discovered something else

> Over sixty incredible bases are a multitude of [Soul Binding Towers]! These things are down below, where the undead army hunts living creatures, enslaves their souls, and grinds their flesh. This is what supplies the entire army!

Lu Cheng gasped!

"This..."

"General Lu, I'll take you to see the windmills! Come on!"

........

The windmill stopped turning, and Lu Cheng walked closer in surprise. He realized it wasn't a windmill at all, but a magical, gigantic plant standing tall on the ground.

Their names are the Truth Windmills.

The plants were hollow, and there was a road that went straight down. Huo Qubing led Lü Cheng along the dark and eerie tunnel downward.

When the Feilin Guards stormed the first wonder of magic windmills, Huo Qubing noticed something amiss.

Lu Cheng received a tip.

The card flipped over....

It turns out this is a double-sided card! In addition to the 【Abundant Side】, this card also has a 【Dark Side】!

The truth of "Yin An Mian" is vastly different from the bright and flashy surface presented by "Truth Garden".

Here, a sea of corpses and blood. The roots of the windmill of truth run deep within it, countless souls bound to its roots, their essence being drained away!

And these spirits and souls, bound as they are, remain only as fragmented remnants, enduring endless suffering, forever unable to escape...

Li Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Where did these......consumables......come from"

"The livestock and cattle of the Mobei Wangting, including...and even Youzhou!" Huo Qubing gritted his teeth. "The undead have slaughtered the entire Youzhou...and they are advancing south!"

"General Huo, this.......is really true!"

"Absolutely true!"

Li Cheng fell silent.

These restless spirits before us are all Han army monks who failed to evacuate the people of Youdu in time!

He suddenly... didn't want to break out of the encirclement anymore. With this legal card, Qixing felt that he couldn't win. Yaoguang Xingjun exhausted all his efforts to preserve the hundred families' legacy.

Although Lü Cheng was putting in his best effort, he also thought this way: "We can't win. At most, we'll follow Huo Qubing and make a round trip, losing with some dignity."

When he heard of the tragedy...Lu Cheng felt a fire seemed to be consuming him.

Reika is a derivative, but who isn't

Lu Cheng himself is a traverser, but is he truly from another time or just an evolution Who could possibly say for sure

Lu Cheng only has this one thought now!

A terrifying army is slaughtering Youzhou.

We can't let them go, absolutely not!

.......

"General Lü, I know you've always felt we couldn't win this battle. In fact, warfare is unpredictable, and I don't have absolute confidence in victory......" Huo Qubing looked at the scene before him: "But........ there's no other choice. If we don't avenge this blood feud, I, Huo, am unworthy of being a Han general!"

Lu Cheng's breathing became heavy.

Lu Cheng, all things in the world are derived from the laws of transformation. What you see is true.

Is it Yáoguāng Xīngjūn

Lu Cheng listened to Yao Guang Xing's weary voice.

Being a disciple of Cang Hai and still holding the authority of the Hundred Families Order, it's not surprising that the Star Gathering would pay attention to this place.

Are the atrocities of the Death Guard to be believed

"Do they still have a chance" Lu Cheng was referring to the soul in front of him.

"You are my disciple from the Cang Hai, or the Yin Marshal of You Du. You should know that even for a celestial fairy, there is nothing to be done about this situation," Yao Guang Xing said.

"Star Deity........"

"The gap in strength is too great. I believe you and Huo Qubing will ultimately not succeed. You probably think so too. However, you have fought to this point, which deserves admiration....... Discovering this underground secret, you have laid the foundation for the next era....... You've done enough. Now, I will light the way for you....... "

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking, "Disciple knows that rationally, as the leader of the Mohist School, I can still make contributions and should move on. There is another era waiting for me, but... what I see is truth. The owner of the inn died in Yanmen, the Cloud Summit Fort fought to the death, over 2,000 border army soldiers perished, General Huo Qubing led the Feather Forest Guards alone into the desert thousands of miles deep, and yet right before my eyes, there are still the blood of Han soldiers and civilians from Youzhou! They have no other era, Star Lord! I won't leave. Disciple is willing to advance and retreat with them!"

"Haha." Yao Guangxing suddenly laughed, "As expected of someone who has died once, they're not afraid at all! Cang Hai disciple Lu Cheng, obey my orders!"

"Here!"

“My strength is waning, I give you this. Do what you wish, and don’t hesitate. Rest assured, the Han troops before us will die, and if you fall, we too shall fall. But at the very least, we will inflict heavy losses on the Moon God! This merciless army must be eradicated, or the consequences will be dire!”

........

"General Huo, ten days have passed, with four remaining. I've raised fifty Black Mountain Demons for you, all equipped with giant armor, and ten Xuanjiao dragons as well. However, the dragon armor couldn't be finished in time. 1000 [Corpse Soldiers] are all armored warriors, my troops and Imperial Guards can all wear the Xuanjin Automaton Armor... At my command, I will unleash these cards. As for the rest, I know you have a plan, ultimately useful....I... want to accomplish something great."

"General Lu"

"As things stand, I, Lu Cheng, will abandon my cultivation as a Xian. On the tenth day, I will forge a colossal [Summoning Banner] and set up a Reverse Yin-Yang Five Element Formation in the Shadow Realm. I will use star power and residual soul energy to trigger an explosion. To be ashamed, I am only slightly learned and can only do this one formation. I cannot help them with their transcendence, not even my master, Yaoguang Xing. All we can do is... liberate them. But this formation is extremely dangerous, and the Summoning Banner completely defies Heaven's Will. My master told me that I am practically dead."

「........」

On the tenth day, I will unleash my final card, 【Spiritwalker Mountain】. You lead your team to the domain anchor point. I promise you, I will keep my word. I will do everything in my power to destroy this place. I guarantee I'll set off a massive firework display to see you off!

Huo Qubing's eyes were complex: "General, what do you want Huo to do"

"Yes." Lu Cheng patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder. "Smash them!"ould have died for sure!But what can we do about itI am just a monkey demon. I can only fight, and I have been suppressed for 500 years, just as the heart demon said.It has been scrapped.It only knows...
