After more than three hundred rounds of battle, he fought Gao Siji to a draw, ultimately killing him with a returning horse spear. Wang Yanzhang, having reappeared, defeated thirty-six Tang generals in succession. To eliminate him, the heroes of the world at that time went to great lengths. Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, and Guo Wei, all known as the Five Dragons, personally engaged him but were nearly outmaneuvered by Wang Yanzhang.
Finally, cornered, Wang Yanzhang drew his sword and took his own life.
"It's the fictionalized Wang Yanzhang!"
Yang Hao rejoiced. Looking at Wang Yanzhang's profile, it was clear this was the Wang Yanzhang from the historical romance, significantly different from the Wang Yanzhang in official history!
Supreme Profound Venerable!
The current Great Han had already begun to rank among the top forces in the Three Thousand Daozhou Plane. Although there was still a considerable gap with the Eight Great Families of Zhongzhou, with Wang Yanzhang's appearance, the Great Han Divine Dynasty was sufficient to surpass forces like the Ye family!
"Divine Emperor! Chancellor Li Si requests an audience outside the hall!"
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian approached softly from outside the palace doors and reported to Yang Hao.
"Announce him!"
Yang Hao withdrew his thoughts and said.
"Your subject, Li Si, pays his respects to the Divine Emperor. May the Divine Emperor live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
Li Si, with a somewhat solemn expression, entered the grand hall and directly paid his respects.
"What is it?"
Yang Hao lowered his head and opened the memorial from Crown Prince Yang Chen.
"Replying to the Divine Emperor, the Ye family's invitation has arrived. The Human Race Grand Ceremony has been moved forward! It will be held in ten days!"
Li Si stood up, took out the Ye family's invitation, and handed it to Wei Zhongxian.
"Hmm?"
Yang Hao's expression changed. The sudden advancement of the Human Race Grand Ceremony must mean something significant. He took the invitation and read it carefully: "Ren Zu Yun Yi's divine clone was almost shattered. Li Si, what do you think?"
"Divine Emperor, your subject believes that Yun Yi's true body must have faced a mortal threat while joining the battle in Zhongzhou. Otherwise, hundreds of his clones outside hundreds of Daozhou would not have been implicated."
"Zhongzhou has likely experienced a great battle!"
Li Si said solemnly, his brow furrowed tightly. "Consort Yun has already submitted a memorial. The Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty will dispatch the Invincible General Liang Fang to participate in the Human Race Grand Ceremony!"
"The battle in Zhongzhou concerns our Great Han's strategic deployment. The longer they delay, the more it benefits our rapid development. The Blackwater Immortal Dynasty has been annihilated, and with dozens of Daozhou territories, a series of policies and measures are in place. You must keep a close eye on this. Order Xian Zhen to lead the Xuanwu Army to rest for ten days, and then resume their campaign against the Fallen Immortal Dynasty!"
Yang Hao put down the Ye family's invitation and said sternly.
He pondered for a moment, then stood up: "The true identity behind the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty remains unclear, and we must make early plans. The Human Race Grand Ceremony will be the prelude to another internal conflict within the Human Race. You are to immediately summon the ministers of the Military Affairs Department, and using the Azure Dragon Legion and White Tiger Legion as a basis, formulate a plan of action against the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty. Once there are any changes at the Human Race Grand Ceremony, immediately order the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Legions to march out and sweep across the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Li Si bowed solemnly.
"Furthermore!"
Yang Hao walked to Li Si's side: "Order Crown Prince Yang Chen to represent me and go to Ren Zu Realm Yang Nan City to attend the Human Race Grand Ceremony. Confer upon Wang Yanzhang the title of Left Dragon General and have him accompany the Crown Prince in the competition for the position of Human Race Co-Lord!"
"In a word!"
"I want to firmly grasp this position. I want the position of Human Race Co-Lord, and I also want the six hundred Daozhou territories of Bei You!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Li Si's heart trembled. Wang Yanzhang! Another hero has appeared!
...
Dongwu City, in the southern territory of the Southern Xuanwu Palace, in the East Yao region.
Following the battle in the southern territory, the White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty, in alliance with the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, annihilated two million elites from the Xuanwu Palace and the Human Race Realm. They have now encroached upon half of the Xuanwu Palace's territory, and two-thirds of their army is temporarily stationed in Dongwu City, planning to sweep away the Xuanwu Palace.
"Are there any updates from the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty?"
In the grand hall, a figure in black robes said coldly.
"The Great Yin Immortal Dynasty is currently gathering intelligence on the forces of the Xuanwu Palace and the Human Race Realm. Within three days, precise distribution maps will be provided."
A Great Heavenly Venerable from the Fallen Immortal Dynasty said in a deep voice, twirling the skull of an unknown beast in his hand.
"We still need to hurry. The Great Han Divine Dynasty has pacified the northern and western regions of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty and is now encircling Blackwater Palace. To our northeast, Geng Yan is leading the Yun Clan army to clear out the northern gateway of Azure Dragon Palace. The situation is precarious. We urgently need to open up a situation in the Xuanwu Palace and reverse the tide of defeat!"
An elder from the White Tiger Pavilion said with a heavy tone.
"Urge the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty to quickly ascertain the strength of the Xuanwu Palace and the Human Race Realm. Time should not be delayed too long. We should quickly encircle the clan lands of the Xuanwu Palace." Another elder from the White Tiger Pavilion said coldly, sounding somewhat impatient.
"I agree. Yun Shan has officially declared war on us and even conferred the title of Flying Tiger General. Let's act quickly, sweep away the Xuanwu Palace, and split our forces into two to launch surprise attacks on the Human Race Realm and the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty!"
"Dongwu City?"
At this moment, Liang Lin, a hundred li away from Dongwu City, said indifferently. He led a million troops and launched a surprise attack from the Azure Dragon Palace's territory into the Xuanwu Palace's domain, heading directly for Dongwu City.
Looking at the golden, luminous city, Liang Lin turned to the vice-general behind him and said coldly, "You, immediately command the army to charge towards Dongwu City!"
With that, Liang Lin directly opened the void and appeared above Dongwu City in a single step. Looking at the city protected by the city-guarding formation, he smiled coldly. Two-thirds of the White Tiger Pavilion and Fallen Immortal Dynasty's armies were stationed in this city. Having existed for a long time, he greedily eyed this prize.
"It is through you that my name will resound throughout this realm!!"
Holding his twin hammers horizontally, a vast spiritual energy storm immediately condensed beneath them. Liang Lin seemed to lift two divine mountains, layers of cyan divine light surged outward, covering the sky and obscuring the sun. The entire Dongwu City was instantly plunged into darkness. The twin hammers descended, directly smashing into the city-guarding formation!
Boom!
As the twin hammers fell, azure dragons roared, and the void for ten thousand miles shattered. Countless mountains were destroyed. The city-guarding formation above Dongwu City, like paper, turned into debris. The enormous phantom of the twin hammers swallowed half of Dongwu City, and countless lives instantly disintegrated. Waves of blood washed over the other half of Dongwu City!
In the void, Liang Lin held his twin hammers, boundless battle intent instantly locking onto eight Great Heavenly Venerable beings!
Boom, boom, boom...!
Half of Dongwu City vibrated violently. Countless figures fleeing in the dust perished in an instant. Puffs of hot blood continuously suppressed the dense smoke and dust.
"Ah!!"
Eight figures, appearing in a disheveled state, rushed out from the ruins and smoke into the sky. They could never have imagined that Liang Lin, this newly conferred Flying Tiger General of the Yun Clan, would launch a surprise attack on their base camp, and moreover, on Dongwu City where they, eight Great Heavenly Venerables, were jointly stationed!
Boom!
Liang Lin's twin hammers vibrated, and his boundless divine power surged outward from the eighth layer of the Great Heavenly Venerable realm!
Ninth layer of Great Heavenly Venerable!
Supreme Profound Venerable!
In the horrified gazes of the eight Great Heavenly Venerables, the divine power surging in the void, that aura like the destruction of heaven and earth, directly shattered the void they occupied. The terrifying divine power suppressed them to the point where their hearts dared not beat or tremble!
