Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path-Chapter 890 - 685 Fright + - 686 Prelude_2

No one would remain indifferent if their cultivation technique was incomplete.

The damage to one’s lifespan from Powerful Condensing and Refining Evil allows for living only a hundred years or so; this is their eternal pain.

In fact, these people also know that the military arts they once cultivated actually originated from the Body Refining Techniques of the Prison Subduing Demon Sect. It wasn’t that no one had taken risks, searching through old scrolls to find demonic cultivation techniques in attempts to defy fate.

No matter the intention, whether practicing in secret or openly defying taboos, no one succeeded.

The suppression of the Subduing Demon Sect’s techniques by the world’s sects is one reason.

Another reason is the severance of the Subduing Demon Sect’s heritage.

Even when accidentally obtaining fragments of demonic cultivation methods, nine and a half out of ten would turn into mad devils, only knowing slaughter and achieving nothing.

Although no one succeeded, they were still aware that once the Subduing Demon Sect’s method reached Great Achievement, one could flawlessly refine divine skills, and the physical body would become so powerful as to contend with the Law Profound Meaning.

According to ancient records, the disciples of the Subduing Demon Sect were capable of suppressing the mortal world with their bodies, even without a shred of nature’s spiritual energy, regardless of the tides of spiritual energy coming and going. Not only were there numerous Divine Martial experts long residing in the world, but there were even existences beyond the Divine Martial Realm...

"If this is truly the case, not only is the Imperial Court in danger, but the world’s sects also face a great calamity. This is not only our own concern but a matter for all sects and world families." freёwebnoѵel.com

"Brother Zheng, do not be anxious. Come with us to face the emperor; this is no trivial matter and cannot be taken lightly."

At this point, Li Xuantong and Wei Yun were more nervous than Zheng Tong. Immediately, they ordered the army to camp on the spot and whisked him back to the capital like a whirlwind.

"Has the heritage of the Prison Suppressing Demon Palace resurfaced?"

In Xiling County, countless soldiers with red bandanas on their heads poured out of the city, dividing into three routes, with one heading south towards Qingzhou.

Behind, countless men and women, young and old, stumbled along while being driven forward by soldiers, crying and wailing.

A scene like hell on earth.

At the location of the Central Army, inside a luxurious carriage, the Red Leaf Palace Master lowered the white veil from her face. There was not the slightest smile on her bewitching face, only solemnity.

"Palace Master, we’ve only just taken the entire Xiling County and three cities in Hushan County. Now with leading an army of 150,000, of which 50,000 are armored, even if we encounter the Ping’an Army, we should still be able to fight. Leaving in such haste, what if concerning the Holy Mother..."

Beside the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe looked puzzled.

Especially confused by Holy Mother Hong Ye’s retreat without a fight.

It’s not that he was reluctant to part with the county city’s prosperity. As a Grandmaster under the Red Leaf Palace, he always enjoyed high status and treatment, not living lavishly as some newly wealthy do once they gain power.

"The Holy Mother wouldn’t concern herself with such trivial matters. Besides, is it possible that the order to withdraw from Yunzhou and rush to Qingzhou came directly from the Holy Mother?"

The Red Leaf Palace Master rarely offered an explanation.

Not only speaking to Daoist Cang Wu but also to the Holy Maiden and Helm Masters under her command.

She knew that casually abandoning the twelve cities they had painstakingly conquered, dismissing it like a joke, would greatly harm the morale if not explained clearly.

Even as Palace Master, this was true.

Once people lose heart, it becomes challenging to lead the troops.

After all, the initial slogan of the Red Lotus Army was "Equal land distribution, Shared wealth." Having just glimpsed the shadow of "wealth" without enjoying it thoroughly, and being back in the turmoil, anyone would find it hard to understand.

"How can that be?"

Daoist Cang Wu was not so much disbelieving as unwilling to believe.

What kind of figure was the Holy Mother, not of this world, how could she intervene in regional strategies?

"Stop overthinking it. The command to retreat was conveyed by this Divine Envoy. You must simply follow the order, not chatter so much."

Ahead, in mid-air, countless lotus petals suddenly fluttered, red light flashing, and countless flowers bloomed.

Amidst the instant bloom of myriad colors, a vague human figure appeared in the center, its features indiscernible, but one could only feel that the shape inside seemed infinitely beautiful, eliciting longing.

"Your humble servant greets the Flowers God Envoy."

Except for the Red Leaf Palace Master, who bowed slightly, all the war generals bent deeper in salute.

"Abandoning Yunzhou to migrate a small number of commoners to Qingzhou is a last resort. All you need to know is this: Wei Yun and Lianxin Palace Master, along with others, lead the grand army from Jiangzhou, withdrawing directly into Xuezhou... The reason is simple. Zhou Ping’an is an opponent who cannot be overpowered directly. Avoiding his peak military sharpness will allow him to clash with the Xiao Dynasty properly. Once their victor stands clear, we can discuss other matters."

"The Divine Envoy is wise."

This time, everyone, including the Red Leaf Palace Master, echoed the sentiment.

Compared to lower-tier Helm Masters and regional leaders, the high-level figures like the Red Leaf Palace Master received more detailed information.

Almost when the Pei Family was defeated, and two grandmasters from the Pure Yang Sect and Heart Image Sect died on the spot, their planted agents had already relayed the information.

By the time the news reached Xiling County, the Red Leaf Palace Master fell silent.

Not wanting to fight even a little.

The original plan to conquer Yunzhou became a colossal joke.

At this point, to raise more troops to contend with the Ping’an Army, drawing in Zhou Ping’an, she feared her army might not last quarter of an hour.

As for the soldiers below, it was one thing; at least for her and the other leaders, it was a matter of life and death.

Though Zhou Ping’an’s combat power was extremely formidable, that was beside the issue.
