The Kunlun Daoist Sect and Oliver Sheng are mortal enemies.
As long as Oliver Sheng lives, the Kunlun Daoist Sect will find no peace.
Da Li will also not allow Oliver Sheng to live.
A Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage, and so young, is a tremendous threat to Da Li.
Once Zhao Tingsheng passes away, Da Li will have no one capable of stopping Oliver Sheng.
At that time, Great Wei will also wage war, attacking Da Li to avenge the grudge from a hundred years ago.
“How many people are involved?” Zhao Tingsheng asked.
He was secretly shocked by the Kunlun Daoist Sect’s grand scheme.
Three Ascending to Immortality Dao Tools to set up a killing array, and three Yang Spirit Great Perfection experts—this wasn’t just to hunt a Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage.
This was to hunt a half-step Martial Emperor!
“Our sect has three Ancestors, and Sword Dao Mountain has a Sword Saint. If Ancestor Zhao joins, there will be five supreme experts.”
“If Ancestor Zhao can invite the Ancestor Jiang from Da Chu, with six supreme experts and three Ascending to Immortality Dao Tools, supplemented by the natural killing array, we will surely be able to kill that scoundrel.”
Zhao Tingsheng was stunned. Such a grand setup just to kill one person—was it really necessary?
Was the Kunlun Daoist Sect being overly cautious?
To deal with a Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage, they were taking such precautions.
“Alright, I’ll send a message to Old Jiang and see if he agrees to come.” Zhao Tingsheng did not refuse.
The Kunlun Daoist Sect’s caution made Zhao Tingsheng serious as well.
The second largest Daoist Sect in the world had no reason to act this way.
It must be that Oliver Sheng was so troublesome that even the Kunlun Daoist Sect had to take such measures.
Agreeing to participate in the hunt for Oliver Sheng, Zhao Tingsheng began to cooperate with the Kunlun Daoist Sect in their planning.
……
At the border of Da Li, by the time Wen Renshu arrived, the Great Wei army had already captured several cities of Da Li.
In Qizhou of Da Li, most of the territory had been occupied by the Great Wei army. The Da Li army kept retreating, unable to withstand the terrifying River West cavalry.
Seeing half the province fall, Wen Renshu immediately called his grandson to inquire about the situation.
“What is going on? Is the Great Wei army really that fierce?” Wen Renshu asked Wen Renli.
Wen Renli was now leading the army.
“Grandfather, the Great Wei army is unstoppable. Their cavalry is too terrifying,” Wen Renli replied.
Especially the heavy cavalry, charging across the plains, they were invincible. Even Grandmasters dared not stop them.
With the situation reversed, once the battle began, the two Great Grandmasters of Great Wei would hold him back, and his soldiers would be unable to withstand the River West Army and the General Who Guards the East’s army.
“Is the Shengwu King already stationed at Tianmen Pass?” Wen Renshu frowned.
“Yes, grandfather. The Shengwu King of Great Wei is already at Tianmen Pass. We can’t resist the Great Wei army and can only keep retreating.”
Losing cities and land, Wen Renli had no other options.
The Marquis Zhang was severely injured and disabled, the Marquis Xu was killed, and he, a late-stage Grandmaster, couldn’t turn the tide.
Wen Renshu had heard of the Shengwu King’s achievements. Last year, he killed four Yang Spirits of the Kunlun Daoist Sect, two of whom were late-stage Yang Spirits.
The mid-stage Martial Saint of the Sima Clan of Da Chu was also confirmed to have been killed by Oliver Sheng.
Wen Renshu, being only a mid-stage Martial Saint himself, was unwilling to face the Shengwu King.
He hadn’t lived enough to go seeking death.
“In that case, when encountering the Great Wei army, resist if you can, retreat if you can’t, preserve the army’s strength, and wait for reinforcements from the court and the royal ancestors,” Wen Renshu decided immediately.
After Shen Jianting went into seclusion to heal, the General Who Guards the East’s army was temporarily under Oliver Sheng’s command.
Oliver Sheng immediately ordered the army to attack Da Li.
At the same time, he mobilized troops from several states and counties in the eastern region to join the attack on Da Li.
He aimed to launch a war to unify the Central Plains, first destroying the Huns and then achieving Fenglang Juxu.
But the Central Plains were still divided into three parts, which was unacceptable.
First, destroy Da Li, then Da Chu, and finally sweep through the Southern Border.
This would not only bring unparalleled achievements but also harvest countless Kill Points.
……
Wesley Hu and Cameron Guo, upon receiving Oliver Sheng’s military orders, hurried to Tianmen Pass.
“General, Wesley Hu reporting!”
“Cameron Guo, reporting as ordered!”
The two looked at Oliver Sheng, excited beyond measure.
Now, the entire Great Wei was in an uproar. The Shengwu King had led the army to crush the Huns, achieving Fenglang Juxu, his merits unparalleled in history.
This news had spread throughout Great Wei, and countless people worshipped Oliver Sheng to the extreme.
Wesley Hu and Cameron Guo hadn’t achieved much in the campaign against the Huns.
So, hearing that Oliver Sheng was going to attack Da Li, they rushed over.
They didn’t want to miss out on the military achievements of attacking Da Li.
“Not bad, you two are quite fast!” Oliver Sheng looked at them.
It took quite some time to get from River West to Tianmen Pass.
“With the General’s orders, we’d run ourselves to death to get here,” Cameron Guo said, his arm in a sling.
He hadn’t even fully recovered from his injuries but had rushed to Tianmen Pass without rest.
“Alright, since you’re here, follow the battle plan and start the attack,” Oliver Sheng said with a smile.
“Yes, General!”
The two received their orders and happily led the army out of the pass.
When the troops from various states and counties arrived, Oliver Sheng had an army of 300,000 under his command, which then marched east.
Empress Hazel Han and the courtiers of Great Wei fully supported Oliver Sheng’s campaign against Da Li.
After crushing the Huns, Oliver Sheng’s prestige in Great Wei had reached its peak.
Empress Hazel Han, fearing the forces were insufficient, mobilized troops from over a dozen states, forming an additional 300,000-strong army to head to Tianmen Pass.
It was a move to avenge past humiliations.
The White Lotus demonic sect in Xuan Province, hearing that the Shengwu King had crushed the Huns, kept a low profile, fearing to draw the attention of the Shengwu King.
With the army marching east, Oliver Sheng followed, entering Da Li territory.
The terrifying military force was unstoppable, quickly occupying all of Qizhou in Da Li and advancing to the next state.
In just seven or eight days, three states of Da Li had fallen, occupied by the Great Wei army.
Wen Renshu had once glimpsed Oliver Sheng from afar but never dared to make a move against him, focusing only on retreating with his army.
Gongyang Mountain!
“Is the array set up?” Zhao Tingsheng asked.
He had received news that the Great Wei army had already captured three states of Da Li.
If this dragged on, the nine western states of Da Li would all fall.
“It’s ready. Ancestor Zhao can go with Ancestor Jiang to lure that man over,” Yin Xu Zhenren said.
“Can the two of us lure him over? What if Oliver Sheng kills us instead?” Jiang Han said.
Having heard of Oliver Sheng’s terror, Jiang Han felt that even a Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage might not be his match.
What if they failed to lure him and got killed instead?
Zhao Tingsheng frowned at Jiang Han’s words.
How to lure Oliver Sheng was indeed a problem.
“Isn’t the Shengwu King attacking Da Li? Have the Da Li army retreat to Shangzhou, drawing the Great Wei army over. The Shengwu King will naturally follow,” said Lingxuan Zhenren, the Ancestor of Kunlun.
“Let’s try it. If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of something else,” Zhao Tingsheng nodded.
Jiang Han and Zhao Tingsheng left Gongyang Mountain, heading to the front lines.
……
In front of Huling Pass, fifty thousand reinforcements from Da Li arrived, joining the Da Li army that had been pushed to this point.
The troops retreating from the occupied states, along with Wen Renli’s army, totaled 300,000, retreating to Huling Pass.
With 800,000 troops, they prepared to defend Huling Pass to the death against the Great Wei army’s attack.
The Great Wei army, unstoppable, had reached Huling Pass in less than half a month, occupying five states of Da Li.
Their military might showed Da Li the terror of the cavalry.
They also witnessed the unstoppable force of the heavy cavalry.
Chi Tiansheng led 8,000 heavy cavalry, and without a Great Grandmaster to stop them, Da Li’s army couldn’t hold them back.
Under the lead of Oliver Sheng’s heavy cavalry and 60,000 light cavalry, the Great Wei army advanced effortlessly into the heart of Da Li.
Knowing that Oliver Sheng was attacking Da Li, Empress Hazel Han, fearing that Oliver Sheng’s Great Grandmasters were insufficient, sent two Great Grandmasters from the Great Wei royal family to serve under Oliver Sheng’s command.
In front of Huling Pass, the might of the Great Wei army made even the Duke of Zhou from Da Li frown.
