RETURN OF THE RULER

127. Towards the battlefield.

When he got the message from the jing shang mountain Xian Tang along with some of the zhang hua kingdom officials and temple officials immediately gathered. They immediately packed up and set off that afternoon also towards the desert bow, because so far their group had not found anything in the mysterious forest area so decided to leave the region.

The faces of the temple disciples and warriors of zhang hua kingdom were seen sparkling after hearing they were about to tear apart the region of the bow desert. They were eager to try out his new strength of fellow cultivators after training for a few months in the mysterious forest by fighting against hundreds of ferocious beasts.

The distance between the mysterious forest and the jing shang mountain was so far away that Xian Tang decided to head towards the center of the second city in the desert arc after the desert city froze. Xian Tang got a message from Yang Xuan so that they would not have to rush over as the distance from the center of the arc desert region towards the jing shang mountain was also quite far. The ruling group of the bow wasteland would also take one night if it moved the troops at full force.

"Stop...!" Xuan Li raised his hand up. They had already arrived at a valley, the moment they were about to rest suddenly a sound filled the air.

"Chairman, isn't this the valley of death" Xian Tang asked curiously. Finally he understood why Xuan Li contained hard lead them on the journey from that path.

"Klan Shen, it's been decades that I've been scouting this clan so I've decided to come to this place" Xuan Li replied as he had his group launch an attack.

The loud explosions instantly earthy even shook the valley of death. The energy from the tens of thousands of high-tier weapons continued to hit the protection array of the Shen clan.

Xuan Li also had tens of thousands of people surround the place in anticipation of the Shen clan wanting to escape.

Xuan Li also immediately sent a message to Yang Xuan that they would destroy the Shen clan in the valley of death that night as well.

******

"Badjat!" shouted the old man behind the protection array wrathfully, he did not expect the zhang hua royal group to turn out to know of their clan, he said, whereas all this time they did not make a move after the zhang hua kingdom group arrived in the mysterious forest.

The old man hurriedly took the badge from inside his robe and instantly sent a message.

One by one the clan members guarding the central point of the protection array were thrown and severely injured.

"Defend the protection array, soon the ancestors will arrive." shouted the old man and continued to direct the clan members to guard the central point of the protection array.

Their faces were all deathly pale and frightened after several times the protection array suffered a rift. Just as the other clan members were about to replace the severely injured, they suddenly heard rumbling sounds, hundreds of energy spears missed at high speed towards the protection array.

BOOM!!

A fierce explosion occurred, the protection array shattered into pieces along with loud shouts filling the skies of the Shen clan. Thousands of Shen clan members were severely injured and thousands of other weakest clan members were killed when the protection array was destroyed. Thick smoke billowed into the air, the air fluctuation became chaotic.

"Arrrrggghhh, no. " cried the old man fell limp from his place. He had not expected their protection array to be destroyed before their ancestors arrived.

*****

A raid?!

The tens of thousands of zhang hua kingdom group scourged into the Shen clan after the smoke disappeared, within a short time the valley of death turned into a sea of fire. The average temple that set out towards the mysterious forest was a user of the fire element. The loud cries came back as the energy of the fireballs continued to surge and destroy anything within the clan.

"Patriak Shen Diang, I did not expect that this day would arrive, it turns out that luck was still on our side after several months of being in this territory. Your clan's involvement in destroying the Xuan clan and the zhang hua kingdom in the past will pay you today, tell us where the mysterious forested clans are hiding so that we can consider your life." yuan Li snapped with already mounting anger.

"Sadly, you guys are only lucky to find our clan because by accident, you are satisfied now after decades of searching for this clan" Shen Diang said with a sardonic laugh. The old man even looked relaxed and could still laugh.

"Haha! I deliberately brought my group from this region despite all the protests, I have long known about your clan, only that I did not dare to deal with that glorious shen clan. Are you still waiting for your ancestral skeleton to return" Xuan Li said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Shen Diang asked with a raised voice.

"Just ask the same gatekeeper of hell." Xuan Li replied as he raised his hand.

"Destroy the Shen clan, don't you be afraid because the ancestors of this clan have been eaten by your Young Master's pet." Xuan Li's shout echoed.

In a short matter of shen clans disappearing from the map of the eastern region, the Shen clan even became the moons of temple members. Shen Diang even saw all the members of the Shen clan being mercilessly slaughtered and not sparing a single life.

"Gather all their bodies we will give gifts to pets, Young Master" said one of the temple disciples.

They cleaned the place without any waste. After which, the elders sealed the place and set up a killing formation with dozens of spears as the center of the formation. A white flag bearing the sun flew after Xuan Li's group left the area.

Somewhere else.

The entourage that departed from the Jiang empire was currently resting at the border of the Jiang empire and the bow wasteland. The group had even been split into two parts, one group that could fly had already moved first and another group was still resting. The elders and the chief of the temple did not want the territory they had seized all this time to fall back into Hou Chen's hands.

As they rested the imperial warrior jiang whispered whisper to the disciples of the various temples out of curiosity who the girl who always clung to Long Yue was.

"Madam, why are you in this war?" emperor Jiang asked Long Yue to break the silence on the long night.

"I just want to train His Majesty's students." Long Yue replied briefly.

"Are they your students ?" asked Emperor Jiang while pointing at the two girls who were near Long Yue with curious faces.

The temple disciples and the jiang imperial warriors had actually wanted to get acquainted since departing from the Jiang empire, however, they did not dare because the two girls had always been clinging to Long Yue.

"Belgium ... Does Your Majesty want to make one of them a concubine?" long Yue asked while raising her eyebrows.

"Haha! Madam, I only asked because the temple disciples and warriors seemed to be so curious about the two girls, I only represented their curiosity." Emperor Jiang replied laughing.

Emperor Jiang sighed heavily many times, up to this point he had never again met Yang Xuan making his head sometimes dizzy. He was eager to give a lesson to Yang Xuan for already making his daughter suffer.

"Your Majesty, the servant is Princess Shui of the Kai family, our family is from the kingdom of fire." replied Princess Shui politely.

"Your Majesty, the servant is Li Ling of the water kingdom." replied Li Ling while bowing her body.

Emperor Jiang simply nodded his head while smiling at the two girls. Seeing that, Long Yue became furious that her son was never coming back, let alone Emperor Jiang even she herself was already annoyed to Yang Xuan.

After speaking stale for a while Long Yue's group immediately packed up and would continue on their way.

******

Yang Xuan who was aware of the situation that had occurred the past few days in the region of the bow desert instantly moved an army of up to hundreds of thousands of people. Although it costs him a lot, it does not matter because he has decided to attack with full force.

Even Yang Xuan sent a relief group from the water kingdom to bring some mercenary cultivators through the river of the ming alley with a supply of foodstuffs and resources. About five large ships departed from the port of lei hong strait.

After arriving at the zhang hua kingdom thousands of cultivators re-increased after they learned a battle was about to break out in the Jing Shang mountain region. They brought small ships from the zhang Hua kingdom, because the upper reaches of the ming gang came from two different places so that large ships could not sail up to the Jing Shang mountain.

All the higher-ups of the temple group who were in the water kingdom including Kai Feng group and the group from the misty valley did not want to miss, whereas Yang Xuan had advised that they continue the construction. Yet Yang Xuan was also pleased that the ship had never again sailed from the water kingdom to the bow desert region, it would also be of great use to open up trade routes, as well, if there are obstacles along the river flow of the ming gang then they will be easier to overcome them.

"Chairman kai, have you ever seen a weak group like us set out for battle." Ming Kun asked the former Ming village chief.

"Haha! elder Ming, today we will carve out a legend."

Kai Feng laughed out loud. Although the night was very long and the wind gusts of the river ming gang very cold, however, their blood was already turbulent after knowing everything that happened in the eastern region was sourced from the bow desert.

"Chairman Kai, we information gatherers once robbed robbers with Young Master Yang in the Ming alley stream around the misty valley, even the group was terrifying." Said Hang Feng suddenly.

"Did the elders of the Ming village join in quelling the river pirates of the ming gang with, Young Master Yang?" guess Kai Feng was curious.

"It's true elders, but our job is only to collect loot. Will we plunder the ruler of the bow desert this time?" Hang Feng asked while laughing out loud.

They could still laugh out loud as so far the group had not found any obstacles.

*****

Next day.

Early in the morning, the jing shang temple looked busy. Every temple disciple and warrior of the Jiang empire who had prepared themselves since midnight after resting began to gather in the temple courtyard with weapons and war supplies that had been prepared in advance. They look anxious and overwhelmed with worry because guests who will visit even five times their number. Even before, some of them could not rest in peace even though the elders had warned to rest as much as possible.

Small groups were already on standby at several points, including at the four corners of the temple to guard the central point of the protection array.

General Xu and General Lui Xang along with the elite soldiers and thousands of elite disciples from various temples had already made preparations at some point on the slopes of jing shang mountain. Several elders from the various temples had already prepared themselves to protect the group hiding at some point.

All the bridges and crossings in the ming alley river that flowed about a hundred meters from the foot of the jing shang mountain had been destroyed.

The head of the flying blade temple along with the head of the red lotus temple kept going around to ensure the readiness of their entire group. The two of them could clearly see the faces of the entire group of temples looking anxious and worried even though war was not their first time.

Dozens of small groups were also set up at several points on the slopes of the jing shang mountain to make rescues if anyone was injured from their group. It was done to anticipate the number of casualties on their side, the group also had expertise in medicine and they hid in the cave that had been made before.

Even the thousands of caves on the mountainside had been prepared beforehand after they had erected the temple, the temple group had already expected sooner or later the temple would have guests.

The advantage of the Jing shang temple group can not be attacked from various sides, it is because the location of the temple is on the slopes of jing shang mountain, which is located on the slopes of jing shang, if there is an enemy attack, the temple will only guard from one side. But for those who can fly in the air it does not matter even though the location of the temple is on the hill. However, not being able to fly to the temple location from the foot of the jing mountain is quite difficult because the terrain is too steep, not to mention the ming gang river will be a little difficult for the enemy.

Large hill-shaped stones have been prepared at several points on the mountain slope since they established the temple at that place. Each pile of stones is already there to guard, the location of the jing shang temple about five hundred meters from the foot of the jing shang mountain. It turned out that they had been considering it from the very beginning to anticipate the sudden attack.

At the top of the mountain jing shang fire eagle and white eagle perched on a giant tree branch while eating an ape. The eyes of the two eagles continued to pay attention to the surrounding area because the white eagle had told the fire eagle that war would break out in the region. The white eagle also just arrived from the mysterious forest after the zhang hua kingdom group exited the location.

BOOM!!

The sound of a loud explosion suddenly filled the mountain slope in the follow with the shaking of the jing shang mountain. The massive explosion managed to send the entire temple group into a panic as the successive attacks never stopped hitting the mountainside with balls of energy.

"Whung.." the shrine protection array immediately activated.

"The enemy has arrived, prepare yourselves!" shouted one of the temple elders.

All the temple members and imperial warrior Jiang were instantly on standby at their respective places to deliver a surprise attack. They were still hiding in their respective places and did not make any movement, so some of the enemy groups continued to approach across the river ming alley towards the foot of jing shang mountain.

Hundreds of thousands of horses from the second group filled the area about a kilometer from the foot of the jing shang mountain across the Ming alley river from the north, the riding entourage made the villagers around the jing shang mountain immediately save themselves and away from the location.

The group of temples that were hiding at some point held their breath with a face of fear when looking at the number of enemies of around two hundred thousand people. They immediately came out of hiding slowly and passed the Qi energy element to the boulders that had been provided previously to deliver a surprise attack. Likewise with the group of General Xu and General Lui Xang who had made various weapons of the Qi energy element.

A raid?!
