Looking at Leng Chan and Leng Sha, Sikong Jing slowly spoke...

"Now, I will immediately head for Nidao City."

"You will manage the affairs in Willow Leaf City. I will tell Ye Wushen that all actions must follow your arrangements, and Renyou will be the channel for communication between you and me. All my orders will appear in Renyou’s hands."

As Sikong Jing said this, Renyou, who was also present, stood up and solemnly accepted the order.

She naturally knew that once Young Master Sikong left Willow Leaf City, his orders would be relayed to her through the people Old Fat Head deployed, essentially being issued through the channel of the so-called Su Old Demon Remnants.

Immediately after, Sikong Jing looked at Ye Wuzhi, deeply instructing, "Young Master, Yue Xi and my parents are entrusted to your care. No matter what happens, their safety should be prioritized."

To this, Ye Wuzhi solemnly guaranteed.

After giving a few more instructions, Sikong Jing departed directly, accompanied by a Divine Shuttle merchant ship leaving the Batian Branch.

Contained within, of course, was the Split Armor Flying Scorpion.

After Sikong Jing left, Leng Chan and Leng Sha did not immediately take action.

Instead, they continued to enhance the power of the main teams like Ye Ke’s Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, relentlessly and manically honing them.

According to Sikong Jing’s analysis, Willow Leaf City would enjoy a period of calm for about two more days.

To everyone, every moment was extremely crucial.

Sikong Jing naturally didn’t leave Willow Leaf City immediately but first went to Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Upon seeing Ye Wushen, Sikong Jing plainly stated, "Lord Ye, I need one of your Willow Leaf Tokens and a number of Mechanical Messenger Birds. I must mobilize all Willow Leaf Saint Manor forces within the Willow Leaf City Region."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushen suddenly trembled slightly and asked, dazed, "Ajing, is it starting?"

His expression immediately turned tense...

"Yes, the battle outside the city is likely about to start, and Willow Leaf City may soon be surrounded."

"In any case, be prepared for defense at all times."

"If the opponents encounter resistance in the battle outside the city, Holy Martial Stage experts might directly enter Willow Leaf City for intimidation, and you must withstand their initial strike and apply pressure..."

With Sikong Jing’s explanation, Ye Wushen nodded heavily; in this aspect, Sikong Jing didn’t need to elaborate.

In these two days, their primary focus was strengthening the defensive formations of Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Additionally, there was no slack in the Soldier Killing Array; even if all of Willow Leaf City were destroyed, Willow Leaf Saint Manor must not fall.

Thus, Ye Wushen unhesitatingly gave Sikong Jing a Willow Leaf Token.

He also provided Sikong Jing with numerous Mechanical Messenger Birds from Willow Leaf Saint Manor to contact various Willow Leaf soldiers outside the city.

After obtaining these, Sikong Jing did not linger and swiftly left Willow Leaf Saint Manor, then stealthily ventured out of the city to meet up with the Split Armor Flying Scorpion that had also been secretly sent out...

In the forest outside the city, Sikong Jing held a map indicating all personnel and forces of Willow Leaf Saint Manor stationed outside the city.

Taking a slight breath, he suddenly emitted the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, summoning numerous Little Demon Beasts, promptly attaching Mechanical Messenger Birds to them and instructing them to scatter.

Now, the Message Birds couldn’t normally relay transmissions due to the space sealing by Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, so Sikong Jing had to employ tricks by using Little Demon Beasts for transmission...

He would have the Little Demon Beasts release the Message Birds when near key figures to ensure they weren’t intercepted.

Given the vastness of the Central Plains, the initial strategy in any war was to obstruct Message Birds’ passage. If intelligence couldn’t get out, victory was half-won.

However, Sikong Jing had Little Demon Beasts, allowing for slower messaging yet maintaining control over all sides.

Finding ways to break the Message Birds’ blockade to generate war intelligence is a necessity for any party on the battlefield.

After resolving this, Sikong Jing quickly merged with the Split Armor Flying Scorpion in the Man and Horse as One formation, transforming into the aura of Little Demon Beasts, and darted towards Nidao City. Along the way, he saw numerous people heading towards Nidao City.

These were the people from the various small towns and villages within the Willow Leaf City Region.

Due to the terrifying news of Imperial Dragon Mountain preparing an offensive, people from ordinary small towns and villages, and even mid-sized and small factions, were beginning to relocate and flee.

Otherwise, the small towns and villages would undoubtedly be leveled by the terrifying forces and likely affected by the Soldier Killing Formation.

As they couldn’t leave the Willow Leaf City Region, their only choice was to head for Nidao City.

In the view of everyone in the Willow Leaf City Region, Imperial Dragon Mountain surely aimed only at Willow Leaf City, making Nidao City—which had a poor relationship with Willow Leaf Saint Manor—the safest option.

Most people were reluctant to head towards Willow Leaf City now...

Those inside were eager to escape; who would dare go back?

Unfortunately, most people were unaware that this time, it was Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, not Imperial Dragon Mountain, making Nidao City extremely perilous.

Sikong Jing’s departure from Willow Leaf City was precisely to ensure victory for Nidao City.

...

While Sikong Jing was stealthily moving towards Nidao City, Pei Yupo and Pei Chang had already received items from Xiong Tingting. Even Pei Chang started researching the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation.

But shortly afterward, Pei Chang laughed casually: "What is this stuff? Is this the so-called Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation? It indeed enhances combat power a bit but not significantly, and it’s negligible for us."

However, Pei Yupo frowned deeply, softly saying: "It shouldn’t be like this; the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation is rumored to be quite formidable."

He recalled intelligence from Hanluan City in the Central Plains East. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At that time, the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation showcased by the Soul Dominator’s Heir was far from weak.

"It’s simple; the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation by the Soul Dominator’s Heir was indeed strong, but he was blasted to death by me."

At this moment, Changle Emperor chuckled softly, analyzing: "And those who now master the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation are far inferior to the Soul Dominator’s Heir. After layer upon layer of transmission, it has deteriorated into a sorry state."

This explanation suddenly enlightened everyone, indeed making sense.

Primarily because the Soul Dominator’s Heir was dead.

Next, Changle Emperor continued, "However, I’ve heard Nidao Sect’s Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Formation is quite strong. As the rumors go, Willow Leaf Saint Manor is nearly always utterly defeated by Nidao Sect, suggesting Shi Douxing is much stronger in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yupo nodded heavily; Xiong Tingting had mentioned this.

Moreover, there’s a rumor stating Shi Douxing wasn’t guided by the Soul Dominator’s Heir but inherently excelled in this field.

Considering this, Pei Yupo suddenly smirked and slowly proclaimed: "Then, we can begin our actions: slaughter Nidao Sect, seize Shi Douxing’s Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Formation, and drive Willow Leaf Saint Manor into a panic."

With Pei Yupo’s words, the high-ranking members of Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall nodded heavily, grinning menacingly.
