My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 855 - 255 Du He_3

However, simultaneously, the Sealing Demon Nails shattered, transforming into tiny spots of spirit light, gradually dissipating into the air.

Talisman are different from ordinary talismans; they are not single-use items. The reason they collapsed upon use wasn’t because the Thick Earth Barrier was sturdy, but due to the Heaven and Earth Seal.

The Heaven and Earth Seal suppresses not only cultivators by restricting them to the perfection of Qi Refinement but also suppresses magic artifacts and formations. Once they reach second-tier top-grade, they perish.

If the talisman hadn’t been restricted, it could have been used repeatedly until the boundary was completely destroyed, but now it could only tear open a gap for escape.

A perfectly good talisman wasted just like that, leaving the cultivators heartbroken.

"Hurry up and go!"

Qian Qiren loudly reminded, "Someone’s pursuing us!"

When a flaw appeared in the formation, Dan Liang became aware and immediately headed over with people to check the situation.

"Let’s get out of here!"

Huang Laojiu fiercely whipped the donkey, and the donkey cart shot towards the sky like an arrow, escaping into the heavens.

The others quickly followed, escaping Kunyang City just before the Shengyun Sect cultivators arrived.

They flew more than ten miles and only stopped after confirming no one was pursuing them.

Without the boundary’s concealment, everyone’s vision returned to normal.

"Look quickly!"

A cultivator, using a spell similar to the "Thousand-Mile Eye," scouted towards Bagong Mountain, then shouted, "Fellow brothers, look! Chen Sansi has indeed returned as promised!"

Looking across the Luo Stream, one could vaguely see troops arrayed in formation.

"It seems that Chen didn’t deceive us."

A cultivator asked, "Given this, should we return to the city? Without us, the casualties inside the city might be severe."

"Junior Brother, are you confused?"

Qian Qiren scolded, "Their heavy casualties have nothing to do with us!"

"Don’t worry too much."

Cui Zhichen calmly judged, "The people in Kunyang City can still hold out for a while, let’s observe for now."

"If we can win, we’ll head back."

"If we can’t win, returning now is useless."

"Daoist Cui has considered it thoroughly."

Qian Qiren said, "Our sect cannot afford any more sacrifices lightly."

These disciples in the late stage and perfection of Qi Refining are all Foundation Establishment seeds and the future backbone of the sect.

"Hiss~"

"By the way, how does Chen plan to attack?"

From their perspective,

Tens of thousands of court troops were arrayed along the shore, with golden light barriers resembling city walls. Moreover, with Emperor Longqing and Ling Kui personally overseeing, they couldn’t imagine how to break the enemy, feeling fortunate for their early escape, otherwise waiting for the White Robe would truly be nine deaths and one life!

"Let’s take a look first, take a look first."

Huang Laojiu sat on the donkey, holding the wine gourd, observing.

...

Outside Yongjia Prefecture.

Under the White Robe’s command.

"Commander."

Sima Chi reported, "The battle challenge has been delivered to the other side, but it seems they don’t intend to retreat and let us land."

"Brother."

Zhang Shun held a fish spear and looked out, a bit anxious, "The City Protection Array of Kunyang City seems to have broken, they might not hold out for long, are we just going to watch?"

"The time is almost up, let’s wait a bit longer."

Chen Sansi ordered calmly, "Dan Qunyu, lead five thousand troops to retreat, make as much commotion as possible. Sima Chi, you spread the news of our retreat to the other side."

"Retreat? Alright, I understand."

Dan Qunyu asked no questions and immediately complied.

...

The opposite shore.

Imperial Army.

Emperor Longqing and Ling Kui continued to maintain their positions here.

Across the riverbank, they could even see the occasional silhouette of the White Robe scouts flying into the sky, probing the situation. If not for the fear of an ambush from Yunding Palace, they probably would have acted already.

"Your Majesty, Senior Ling Kui, there’s been a minor incident in Kunyang."

Dan Liangcheng reported, "The people inside the city used some magic skill and tore a hole in the boundary, leading to the escape of the Guiyuan Sect disciples.

"However, this is also a good thing. Without Guiyuan Sect disciples, they certainly won’t hold out until dawn, and our losses will be minimized."

"All escaped?"

Ling Kui urgently asked, "What about the descendants of that little thief?"

"They probably escaped too."

Dan Liangcheng said frankly, "I didn’t see their figures. If Guiyuan Sect escaped, they would definitely take the family members of the Chen. Otherwise, Chen Sansi wouldn’t spare them."

"Report—"

As they spoke,

A scout came to report, "Your Majesty! The Beiliang Army across the river sent a message, saying that since we didn’t dare to have a final battle, they are preparing to withdraw and fight on another day."

Upon hearing this.

Emperor Longqing personally controlled the sky to observe, indeed seeing the army banners across the river waving, as figures retreated towards the east.

"This is bad!"

Third Brother Nie Yuan said, "Your Majesty! My junior brother’s family has escaped, they seem to be preparing to retreat and welcome more troops from Qing Country!"

Ling Kui snorted coldly, "I thought he was some great hero, but once his wife and child are safe, he disregards the lives of others?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Father!"

Prince Qin quickly said, "We can’t let Chen the Hunter escape! If he leaves, with Yunding Palace backing him, it would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountain!"

"That’s true."

Nie Yuan said with great frustration, "But if he insists on leaving, what can we do? We can’t have tens of thousands of troops chase after them, what if they counterattack mid-crossing, what then?"

As he spoke, he caught Dan Liangcheng’s attention.

"Your Majesty."

Ling Kui said in a deep voice, "Why don’t you and I go over together and attempt to slay that little thief directly?"

"..."

Emperor Longqing remained silent, his sharp eyes scanning the opposite shore, looking at the sea of banners, feeling it must be a trap.
