My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"We don't need to pay attention. As long as His Majesty and Senior Ling Kui hold the fort here, we can take Kunyang City before dawn, and then decide whether to let them cross the river for a direct confrontation. There's still time!"

"Exactly!"

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan echoed, "Your Majesty, Chen Sansi wants to come ashore across the river. There must be a trick to it. We definitely can't play into his hands!"

"Only brothers understand each other."

Emperor Longqing agreed with this view.

He had fought together with Sun Xiangzong in the Northern Territory in his youth, so how could he not see through such a simple provocation, and said lightly, "Let's take down Kunyang first."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Dan!"

Ling Kui emphasized, "It's enough with me and His Majesty here. You go assist in the siege, and don't forget to help me kill Chen Sansi's wife and children."

"Then I'll leave this to the two of you!"

Dan Liangcheng accepted the order and left.

The siege began at noon, continuing until sunset, and then from the glow of the setting sun to the starry night. Corpses had long piled up on the city walls, and blood flowed like a waterfall from the stumps and ruins, forming a bizarre scene under the glow of the fire.

The city protection array of Kunyang was breached.

However, the court's troops were still reinforced by the Six Ding and Six Jia great array, each soldier covered in protective auspicious light.

Beiliang soldiers had to expend seven or eight-tenths of their qi power just to break through this light, basically costing ten lives to barely kill one enemy.

The combat power of both sides was incomparable.

Even the cultivators of the Guiyuan Sect found it increasingly difficult.

Not to mention the other side also had cultivators; the sheer number of enemies alone was enough to drain their mana, something they could not sustain.

Every so often, about twenty cultivators had arrived through the transmission array to the Divine Continent, and after just half a day, only fifteen remained.

After the flying swords killed over two thousand people.

Qian Qiren's mana was nearly exhausted.

Cultivators of the Shengyun Sect took advantage of this, unleashing three consecutive pure attack spells, leaving him defenseless, and he collapsed spitting blood after being struck by a Golden Light Technique.

If not for Cui Zhichen's intervention, Qian Qiren would have died on the spot.

After that, he was also exhausted.

As for Huang Laojiu, he was fleeing along the city wall, holding his head.

At this rate.

They would die in front of the city soldiers!

"What is Chen Sansi doing?!"

Shangguan Haichang's Yanling Saber was already chipped, and he shouted with a ferocious expression and red eyes, "Where are the promised reinforcements?"

"Everyone, don't panic!"

Xu Wencai climbed to the top of the city wall and yelled to reassure them, "The Lord's entire clan is in the city. How could he break his promise? He must have arrived as agreed and is arrayed on the opposite side of Luojian River!

"Otherwise, think about why Longqing and Ling Kui haven't attacked the city personally?

"They must be busy dealing with the Lord, unable to spare attention for Kunyang!"

With these words.

The crowd came to their senses.

Neither Cao Kai nor his companion had shown up, indirectly proving that the White Robe indeed arrived at the destination on time.

But...

"The question is, when will he be able to fight his way over?!"

Qian Qiren, unable even to wield his flying sword, gritted his teeth and said, "If this continues, we'll all die here before dawn!"

The distance from Bagong Mountain to Kunyang is still considerable; they simply can't hold out that long.

"..."

"Six Ding and Six Jia guard the left, Heavenly Soldiers Descending on the right!"

As they spoke.

Dan Liangcheng unleashed another display of formation might.

Hiding behind the Thick Earth Barrier, the group found themselves helpless, being worn down to death was inevitable.

"Sprrllch!"

Qian Qiren, at Qi Refining Perfection, once his mana was exhausted, was wounded by a Great General of the Profound Image Realm in the melee.

Other ordinary Qi Refining cultivators were more likely to be wounded by Hua Jin, Meridian Passage, or even lower-level Martial Artists.

The cultivators of the Guiyuan Sect and many high officials had long lost any war intent.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

"..."

A haggard Huang Laojiu shouted thrice to escape.

But these words.

Instead, made the cultivators even more desperate.

Having initially believed the words of the White Robe and stayed in the city, now trapped within the Thick Earth Barrier, they cannot leave without first breaking through it!

A second-tier great array; who can easily break it?!

Under everyone's gaze.

Huang Laojiu fumbled in his arms for a crumpled yellow talisman paper, and with his old and hoarse voice, he shouted, "This old man can open the Life Gate! Fellow Daoists, hurry and leave with me!"

"That's..."

Qian Qiren stared at what the old man held, quickly recognizing it, and exclaimed with joy, "A talisman treasure?!"

"Senior Huang has a talisman treasure!"

"We're saved, we're saved!"

"Quick!"

"Let's leave this place first!"

"If Chen Sansi is indeed at Bagong Mountain, we will join him!"

"If not, let's flee!"

"..."

"Wait!"

King Yan Cao Zhi said, "Daoist Qian! Take my sister-in-law and her family with you!"

If they abandoned the city and fled, ignoring the family of the White Robe completely, the latter would definitely turn against them, and at that point, their lives would be in real danger.

Because once backed by the Yunding Palace, they could simply disregard them!

Protecting the Chen family's relatives is truly their only talisman of survival.

"Alright."

Qian Qiren quickly understood the stakes and immediately acted as instructed.
