The group of experts from the seven great sects arrived at the foot of the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

A sturdy city wall that was dozens of meters tall might be a little difficult for ordinary soldiers, but it was completely useless for these experts.

They all displayed their qinggong and easily leaped onto the city wall after using the city wall as support.

When they reached the top of the city wall, what waiting for them was the expert army of the Imperial Court.

The Xiantian realm experts from both sides instantly started fighting.

True energy raged around them and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.

In this life and death battle, everyone used 120% of their strength and didn’t hold back.

It was either you die or I live!

This battle was even more intense than normal battles.

Countless Xiantian experts had fallen.

Amidst the intense fighting among the experts, the Vanguard Army of the Alliance rushed to the foot of the city wall. They climbed up the ladder and began climbing up the city wall.

From time to time, they would shoot arrows at the imperial court soldiers on the city wall.

“Rolling stones! Hot oil!” Qin Yuntian’s spear pierced through an expert from one of the seven great sects as he continued giving orders to the Imperial Army.

The Imperial Army on the city wall raised a huge stone and threw it down.

Hot oil also being poured down.

The side that attacked the city was naturally at a disadvantage. This was something that could not be done.

The soldiers of the Alliance Army let out wails that intertwined with the sounds of battle.

“I never expected the Imperial Court to have a trump card. These experts are all very powerful.” Wudang Sect Master, Zhang Junbao held his treasured sword as he watched the battle on the city wall.

“Our seven great sects are attacking at the same time. No matter how powerful the Imperial Court’s experts are, they can’t resist for long. As long as nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun doesn’t appear, victory will come sooner or later,” Huashan Sect Master, Yue Yangfeng said disdainfully.

“Amitabha. Sect Master Yue is right. Without Wei Zhengchun, the imperial court will definitely lose!”Huitong abbot said with half-closed eyes.

The seven sect masters of Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, Huashan, Qingcheng, and Kunlun were all waiting. If the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun did not appear, then they would join the battle.

They still had lingering fear from the battle back then.

After the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun defeated them, he forced the seven sects to submit to the Imperial Court.

Several sect masters of Emei, Kongtong, and Qingcheng had passed away a few years ago due to injuries.

The sect masters of the three major sects were all chosen later.

They were most worried about Wei Zhengchun now.

If the other party showed up, it meant that this great eunuch had already broken through to become a saint cultivator.

The rebellion of the seven major sects and the eight great fan kings was very likely to fail.

It was estimated that before Wei Zhengchun was 9,000 years old, the possibility of the seven major sects making a comeback was something they didn’t want to see.

It was not only the sect masters who were worried.

On the other side, the vassal’s kings were also worried about this problem.

“Do you think the 9000-year-old Wei Zhengchun will appear?” The Ninth Prince was still a little worried and asked.

The vassals kings had heard of the legendary figure in the Imperial Palace since they were young. In the past, they admired him.

Now that he had become a rebel army, they were naturally fearful.

Even if they had never seen the nine thousand year old Wei Zhengchun before, there was still an invisible pressure that shrouded their hearts.

“Wei Zhengchun has yet to appear. It is very likely that he has already fallen. The Imperial Palace treasury has many medicinal pills and treasures. It is possible that there is an antidote for the Heart Devouring Pill,” Abbot Huitong said with a smile.

Daoist Tieling from the Kunlun Sect gnashed his teeth. He could have won great merit, but who knew that Zhou Shimin was so lucky that he did not die?

He even let the Alliance Army and the seven great sects fall into his trap.

It was indeed a little inappropriate.

“Everyone, there’s no need to rush. Wudang and Shaolin’s were half-step saint cultivators and were already on their way. When they arrive, the outcome will be decided!” Wudang Sect Master, Zhang Junbao said.

Under Qin Yuntian’s command, the 100,000 Imperial Guards methodically carried out orders to defend the city. With Zhou Shimin personally leading the expedition, it was extremely difficult to rely on the Alliance Army to break through the capital.

In the end, it was still up to the experts to decide the outcome.

What they did not expect the most was that the Zhou Dynasty’s capital had a huge array formations hidden, making it increasingly difficult to attack the city.

“Shaolin and Wudang are worthy of being the great experts of Mount Tai. If half-step saints cultivator from two sects were to fight on the battlefield, I believe the capital would be able to be broken.” The Second Prince twirled the Buddhist beads in his hands. It seemed like he had a close relationship with Abbot Huitong.

The Ninth Prince, who was naturally cautious, frowned.

Shaolin and Wudang had been suppressed by the Imperial Court for so many years, yet so many half-step saints cultivators had appeared in secret.

This was not a good thing.

The five sects of Emei, Kongtong, Huashan, Qingcheng, and Kunlun might be weaker, but who knew if they had other trump cards?

If the capital was broken, who would make the decision?

The Ninth Prince even hoped that a few more half-step saint cultivators from the seven major sects would die later. Otherwise, with the Allied Army’s strength, they might not be able to control the situation.

The other vassal kings did not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

It seemed that there was a reason why the late Emperor did not pass the position to this group of stupid pigs.

The Ninth Prince had many thoughts in his mind, but his expression was very calm.

“Retreat, let’s wait for a few half-step saint cultivators to arrive!” Seeing that they had not been able to take down the city for a long time, the vassal kings announced that they would temporarily retreat. They could not waste all of their remaining strength on attacking the city.

When the Alliance Army heard the sound of metal clashing, they retreated in an orderly manner, leaving behind countless corpses.

The battlefield left behind on the city wall was even more tragic. There were traces of true energy raging everywhere. The power of a battle between innate experts was too terrifying.

If ordinary soldiers were to accidentally charge into the area of battle, they would instantly turn into a pile of minced meat.

Qin Yuntian carefully counted the losses of this battle.

The experts’ losses were not small. Most of them were injured and had lost about forty percent of their combat strength.

The Imperial Court’s losses were actually not that bad. With the advantage of the city walls being strong and tall, they had almost blocked the alliance army below the city walls.

Qin Yuntian reported the loss to Zhou Shimin.

“The loss of the experts is too great! I didn’t expect the seven major sects to secretly accumulate so much strength over the years. My good brothers can’t see the truth clearly!” Zhou Shimin was furious. This battle was actually dependent on the experts.

At the beginning, they had lost nearly half of their combat strength. What should they do next?

Luckily, the Imperial Court experts were all eunuchs and Imperial Guards, and they were extremely loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Take the pills and treasures from the palace treasury and distribute them to them. Leave the defense of the city wall to Commander Qin!” Zhou Shimin said.

The Alliance Army’s attack would not stop there.

They needed to prepare for a long battle.

Zhou Shimin needed to go back and discuss what to do next. The barbarian land was starting to move again, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was facing internal and external problems.

…

He Chuan continued to cultivate in the library pavilion, wanting to increase his strength as soon as possible.

It was still far off for the Divine Eye to unlock the second layer.

Judging from the hidden array formation in the capital, there was still a hidden expert behind it.

Suddenly, He Chuan felt four powerful presences rushing toward the vicinity of the capital.

The four of them were not weak, and they were all half-step saint cultivators.

Since the other party always wanted to cause trouble and make him restless, he had to have a talk with this group of people.
