Xu Mengting led the assembled alliance army to the outskirts of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

Although there were not many people this time, less than a hundred thousand, more than half of these hundred thousand were the young elite of the Celestial Court’s guard army.

Adding the elite from several other families, it could be said that this force of less than a hundred thousand was more than enough compared to a hundred thousand strong army.

Without any nonsense, Xu Mengting directly ordered the coalition to summon their pets and prepare to start the siege.

This battle was one of city destruction, so there was no need for words—just put all effort into taking the city, as was required by the Ancestral Court.

After receiving the task, Xu Mengting had already researched the situation in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, especially the famous previous battle there.

He was very clear that if someone like Chen Guan were present, this battle might be challenging.

Now that Chen Guan was not present, taking down the Southern Heavenly Kingdom would be too easy.

Even so, Xu Mengting would not hold back in the slightest; he would also go all out to destroy the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

"Now that Chen Guan is not in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, this battle has no suspense at all, making it hard to get excited," a general of the coalition said with a chuckle.

"After all, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom is just a rabble. They won before only because of the Ten Great Families’ support. Now without their support, what is the Southern Heavenly Kingdom worth? Even if Chen Guan were there, we would still beat him to a pulp," said a general from a prominent family.

"Today, let’s show these swaggering people what true strength is."

Everyone was full of confidence, barely putting the Southern Heavenly Kingdom in their mind.

Even Chen Guan, in their mouths, seemed to become nothing more than a jumping clown.

"Everyone, prepare to attack the city," Xu Mengting said with a smile.

He was very pleased with the high morale, as he himself was of noble birth, considered part of the academic school. Although his ancestors were ordinary soldiers, several generations of high-ranking officials in the Ancestral Court had made him see himself as nobility, finding nothing wrong with those words.

"Rest assured, Commander, we will definitely breach the city within the day," the generals all shouted in agreement.

Xu Mengting issued the order to attack the city, and the generals immediately took their troops, preparing to launch a fierce assault on the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

But before they could start their attack, they suddenly saw someone standing on top of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom’s gate tower.

They squinted to take a closer look at this figure, only to be greatly shocked, their faces changing dramatically.

"How is this possible? How can Chen Guan be in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom? Didn’t he already ascend to the Great Cave Heaven?" One by one, the generals, alarmed, hurriedly ordered their troops to stop the attack.

They had spoken confidently before because they knew Chen Guan had gone to the Great Cave Heaven and wouldn’t return.

Seeing Chen Guan still there now instilled incredible fear in their hearts.

Although they hadn’t faced Chen Guan directly, they had studied the terrifying role he played in that battle and knew how fearsome this person was.

"Commander, our intelligence was wrong. Chen Guan never entered the Great Cave Heaven. Should we reconsider our strategy?"

"This Chen Guan is extremely cunning. Creating the illusion of going to the Great Cave Heaven was deliberately done to lure us into attacking the Southern Heavenly Kingdom. Under no circumstances can we fall for it."

"Yes, yes, we cannot fall for his ploy."

Just moments ago, these generals boldly claimed they could defeat Chen Guan even if he were here, but now each one pleaded with Xu Mengting not to attack the city.

Looking at the generals, Xu Mengting said, "Three other cities have already started their siege. If we back out, Chen Guan and the Southern Heavenly Kingdom will have the chance to support Purple Sun City. Have you considered the consequences?"

The generals hesitated, knowing that there was a portal between the Southern Heavenly Kingdom and Purple Sun City.

If they did not attack now, Chen Guan and the Southern Heavenly Kingdom could support Purple Sun City at any time, endangering the siege force there.

"No matter how strong Chen Guan is, he is just one person. How could he be a match for our vast army? Everyone just needs to fulfill their duties and contribute their efforts. With our battle array and army skills combined, what can one Chen Guan do?"

Xu Mengting smiled and said, "The previous defeat of the Celestial Court Army was due to their lack of unity. Will we repeat their mistake, or will we be united to take down the Southern Heavenly Kingdom and kill Chen Guan? You can decide for yourselves."

"We will follow the commander’s orders," the generals gritted their teeth and said.

They too knew that if they retreated now, even if they made it back, they would unquestionably incur the wrath of the Ten Great Families, and at that time, it would not only be their own lives at risk.

"In that case, attack the city with all your might. Show Chen Guan what a true elite regular army is." Xu Mengting gave the order, and the entire army officially began the siege.

With the collaboration of the generals, nearly a hundred thousand elite troops, along with their pets, unleashed the power of Secret Skills, reaching a level of Unity of Man and Pet.

The combining of human Secret Skills with pet’s Secret Skills resulted in a combined attack technique, forming a gigantic sun-like light sphere that was cast upon the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

Such a terrifying combined attack skill, even the full operation of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom’s defensive shield would be difficult to stop, likely breaching the Southern Heavenly Kingdom in one strike, leading to a subsequent brutal slaughter in the city.

The soldiers and generals of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom watched as that sun-like light sphere grew closer and larger, as if swallowing the entire Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

Chen Guan stood on the city wall, gazing at the terrifying light sphere, and pure yang sword aura rose from his body.

My God... Pure Yang Sword Immortal...

The sword light poured out like a star river across the sky, instantly shattering that light sphere with endless sword light.

The continuous endless sword light still rushed towards the alliance army like a tidal wave.

Everyone in the alliance army had a drastic change of expression, including Xu Mengting, with faces full of disbelief.

Nearly a hundred thousand elites combined with pets’ explosive combined attack skill was broken by a single strike from Chen Guan.

What terrifying power is this, how could such power appear in the Grotto Heaven, it’s not scientific.

Yet they had no time to consider such things, countless sword auras were already charging into the middle of the alliance army.

In the previous battle of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, Chen Guan did not truly slaughter the Celestial Court army.

But this time, Chen Guan showed no mercy.

Such matters, having a first time would indeed lead to a second. If problems are not solved thoroughly, endless troubles will follow.

Since he was in Great Cave Heaven, he couldn’t possibly return in time every single time.

If he couldn’t frighten them once thoroughly, the danger of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom’s destruction would always loom.

Thus began the brutal slaughter, the entire coalition was cut down like harvested wheat under the endless pure yang sword aura.

No matter what talent you have, what Secret Technique Secret Skill you wield, what Secret Collection you possess, in the face of absolute power, it all became irrelevant.

No matter how strong the pet, it was but a sixth sense pet.

Chen Guan wielded my God and Pure Yang Sword Immortal as a seventh sense being, absolutely suppressing power.

He didn’t even need the World’s End’s assistance because it wasn’t necessary.

"Chen Guan!" Xu Mengting looked at the countless soldiers and generals pierced through by the sword aura in an instant, his eyes full of fear and anger.

He exploded with all his might, trying to resist the vast sword aura.

But before Chen Guan, his power was as insignificant as dust before the sea.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred thousand elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of pets of the alliance army were slaughtered, corpses piled like mountains, rivers of blood flowed.
