Although Chen Xin said that, he agreed with Song Yubai’s suggestion.
After all, they did not believe that the Nether Royal City was defenseless.
As for the Yang Nether army, they were not sure if there were any left in the Nether Royal City.
“Alright, I’ll send someone to inform Lord Huang Shang.”
Lin Zifeng nodded and summoned the Mystic Yang soldiers to inform Huang Shang.
“Everyone, get ready. Once the Nether Royal City’s formation is broken, we will infiltrate the city!”
Song Yubai nodded at the two of them. Then, the three of them separated and prepared to attack the city.
At this moment, Mei Changge had silently appeared outside the Nether Royal City. When he saw the Mystic Yang soldiers and the Red Lotus soldiers trying to break the formation, he revealed a surprised expression.
He did not expect the Nether race to hide in the city and had no intention of coming out.
Mei Changge rode Blood Flame Qilin and discovered Lin Zifeng, Song Yubai, and the others with a sweep of his consciousness.
“Oh? Chen Xin is leading the Swordsmen toward the Nether Royal City with Huang Shang?”
Mei Changge smiled and patted Blood Flame Qilin’s head. The man and beast headed straight for Song Yubai and Lin Zifeng.
“Who’s there?!”
Seeing that someone was approaching from the sky, Lin Zifeng’s expression froze. Then, spiritual energy surged from his body, and golden light surged from the spear.
“Your Majesty!”
Song Yubai also noticed the figure approaching them and saw Mei Changge riding on Blood Flame Qilin.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
At that moment, Lin Zifeng put away his spear and revealed a respectful expression.
“There’s no need to stand on ceremony!”
Mei Changge got off Blood Flame Qilin and waved at the two of them.
After all, they were not within the dynasty’s territory; formalities were unnecessary.
“Your Majesty, why brings you here?”
Song Yubai asked respectfully.
“The Nether race is one of the Great Eight, after all. They might have some backup plans.”
Mei Changge looked at the Nether Royal City and said calmly.
“I just noticed that Chen Xin and Huang Shang are heading toward the Nether Royal City. What’s going on?”
“Your Majesty, General Chen Xin discovered the weakness of the spiritual formation. But I’m still wary and got Lord Huang Shang to go with them.”
Song Yubai said with a serious expression.
Although Chen Xin and the Swordsman soldiers were weaker than the Red Lotus soldiers, the Nether race wasn’t to be underestimated. It was prudent to exercise caution.
“I see.”
Mei Changge nodded and spoke again.
“You two are still in charge of this war. I won’t intervene.”
“Follow your plans to attack.”
Mei Changge could not help but speak when he saw the confusion on their faces.
“Yes, Your Majesty. But General Xu is…”
Lin Zifeng nodded and asked nervously.
“Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen over there.”
Mei Changge smiled.
He also knew that the two of them were worried that Xu Chu and the others would not be able to stop the Yang Nether army. They wanted to take down the Nether Royal City as soon as possible and support Xu Chu and the rest. However, because of the formation outside the Nether Royal City, they had wasted a lot of time.
“That’s good to know.”
Hearing Mei Changge’s words, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“Go on. Let me see the strength of the Mystic Yang soldiers and the Red Lotus soldiers.”
Mei Changge nodded at the two of them. Then, the two of them did not say anything else and walked out.
Once Chen Xin broke through the formation, the two of them would charge into the Nether Royal City with their soldiers.
At this moment, Chen Xin led the Swordsmen towards the weakness of the formation that he had discovered. Beside him was Huang Shang, who was wearing a Daoist robe.
“Is that the spot?”
Huang Shang’s expression was calm as he followed Chen Xin to the weakness of the formation.
This location was in the southeast of the Nether Royal City. Other than the city wall, it was also connected to other things.
“That’s right. If the Swordsmen can’t break it, we will need your help, Lord Huang.”
Chen Xin nodded and placed his right hand on the sword hilt hanging at his waist.
Not only was this location hidden, but one could also see the Mystic Yang soldiers and the Red Lotus soldiers in the distance constantly using their Spiritual Energy Cannons and Flame Summits to bombard the spiritual formation.
Ripples appeared not far from them.
Moreover, it was obvious to the naked eye that the formation barrier here was weak.
“Let the Swordsmen try first!”
Chen Xin nodded at Huang Shang and unsheathed the sword at his waist.
The sound of the blade hummed in the air.
“Nice sword.”
Huang Shang’s eyes gleamed with interest. The sword in Chen Xin’s hand stood out from the others wielded by the Swordsman soldiers. It exuded a crystalline essence and emitted a distinct cold aura.
Chen Xin exchanged for this sword in the dynasty.
It was called the Ice Soul Sword; a Grade 7 treasure.
Its entire body exuded an icy chill, infused with the power of Ice Soul. Legend had it that it could inflict damage upon the soul itself.
It was a long sword he had specially exchanged for this battle in the Nether Battlefield.
“Swordsmen, condense the sword qi!”
Chen Xin pointed the tip of his sword forward, prompting the Swordsmen behind him to adopt serious expressions. Soon, spiritual energy began to coalesce on the longswords in their hands.
“Sword qi, slash!”
As soon as he commanded, the massive sword qi struck the Nether Royal City’s spiritual formation.
