95: Chapter 95 The Yin Soldiers' Martial Might Arrive to Reinforce!

The Jing Dynasty's campaigns in the Sanchuan Sand Sea have buried countless elites.

As the backbone of the Jing Dynasty, the Dao Soldiers... account for more than seventy percent of these countless elites!

Even in death, they cannot return to their roots.

Some have even been eroded by Evil Qi, transforming into Yin Puppets, wandering all over the Sanchuan Sand Sea!

Together with Yao Beasts, Loose Cultivators, evil cults, and outer gods, they are known as the Five Poisons of Sanchuan.

They are extremely troublesome... causing one's head to ache just at the mention of them!

The Ancient Battlefield is a highly unique landmark in the Sanchuan Sand Sea.

Most of the Ancient Battlefields have already been sealed off by the Jing Dynasty with Formations... trapping all the soldiers of the Ancient Battlefield within.

The purpose, naturally, is to prevent them from hindering the Cultivators and humans of the Jing Dynasty.

On the other hand, it is also to collect Evil Qi!

These elites have already been eroded by Evil Qi... they have lost their consciousness.

They can only be used for this purpose!

Do not speak of human sentiment...

Making the best use of everyone is the Law of the Jing Dynasty.

No one is an exception.

Furthermore, the pensions for the Dao Soldiers have already been distributed, and their wives and children have received rewards and merits.

But there are always some anomalies... who, relying on a strong will, manage to preserve their consciousness amidst layers of catastrophe.

Transforming into a terrifying existence.

The Jing Kingdom calls them... Yin Soldiers!

Yes, exactly, Yin Soldiers.

Currently, within the Jing Dynasty, there are three systems.

One is the secular clan and aristocracy system corresponding to the common people.

The Holy Land and Immortal Sect system, which caters to Immortal Dao Cultivators.

And finally... the incense-fueled godhood system established for spirits and the underworld, specifically for those with high prestige and great Karma.

Yin Soldiers belong to this third system.

They are subordinate to the City God Temple and follow the orders of the local City God.

Under the City God, there are the Black and White Impermanences, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and the Day and Night Patrol Gods.

But the former three are responsible for inspections and patrols.

Maintaining stability and order... and dealing with the threats of spirits.

That is the duty of... the Yin Soldiers!

The conditions for the birth of a Yin Soldier are not harsh, but a Yin Soldier with a sufficiently deep foundation represents a higher ceiling.

A good general is hard to find!

The Yin Soldiers that appear in the Ancient Battlefield... belong to the latter!

The Annihilation Spirit Storm mentioned in the intelligence reports is, in essence... a great weapon developed by the Immortal Dynasty's retainers.

It belongs to the self-destruct program for Yin Puppets and Yin Soldiers...

The Immortal Dynasty's retainers release it into the Ancient Battlefield... the Annihilation Spirit Storm is both Evil Qi and something that can dissipate Evil Qi.

Thereby maintaining the balance of the Ancient Battlefield...

This object also possesses a very terrifying ability.

"Eradicating the intelligence of all things..."

Yes... to deal with the threat of riots in the Ancient Battlefield, the Jing Dynasty chose a one-size-fits-all approach.

Directly obliterating all consciousness.

Because the Sanchuan Sand Sea is too uncontrollable!

Shen Yi stared blankly, simulating a possibility.

If the Annihilation Spirit Storm comes from the Ancient Battlefield, then the Origin of these Yin Soldiers is obvious.

They don't know which Ancient Battlefield they escaped from... seeking a glimmer of hope for survival!

The Annihilation Spirit Storm will follow these Yin Soldiers until their Yin Qi Origin dissipates and the Yin Soldiers die violently.

To be able to escape the Ancient Battlefield, they must be Yin Soldiers with their consciousness intact, and of high quality, capable of understanding and seeing through the layout of the Formations...

Then, could he use this characteristic of the Annihilation Spirit Storm to have a showdown with Wanren Cliff?

By doing so... using the Annihilation Spirit Storm to eradicate all the Stone Demons and Sword Puppets within Wanren Cliff?

What is this called in military strategy again?

Right... driving the tiger to devour the wolf!

Shen Yi felt determined; he picked up the Pioneering Order and bit his finger.

Fresh blood spread... covering the patterns on his hand.

He suddenly pressed it down...

Steward Zhao was shocked...

"This... this thing has a time limit!"

"Brother Shen... you... you are confused!"

Steward Zhao looked completely bewildered... hurriedly trying to take back the scroll, ready to turn tail and leave.

Nonsense, he wanted the merit, but he didn't want to go courting death!

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi grabbed Steward Zhao.

He laughed.

"Steward Zhao... you are a bit too anxious."

"Wait... bring out all the demon-slaying orders!"

Steward Zhao was suspicious.

Shen Yi chuckled, his eyes full of the smile of someone who had already won.

"I didn't say I wasn't going..."

"But going slowly, going gradually... going in batches."

Listening to this slick bureaucratic talk, the corners of Steward Zhao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Can we not speak like normal people?"

"Hahahaha!!!"

"Brother Zhao, just lie back, spread your legs... and wait for the merits to roll in."

Steward Zhao had a face full of black lines.

"Vulgar... vulgar..."

...

A hundred miles away.

Wu Yi struggled to get up from the sand... spitting out the yellow sand in his mouth.

He discovered that the original dry feeling had long since disappeared.

In its place was a lingering emptiness!

That kind of emptiness could not be soothed by drinking water, eating, or sleeping.

That kind of emptiness was like an abyss, devouring his reason at every moment.

Wu Yi had seen too many comrades consumed by this emptiness, turning into monsters...

Monsters among monsters.

He pulled himself together... and patted his chest.

The armor on his body was already somewhat dilapidated, covered in claw marks and sword gashes.

There was no lack of traces from battles with Yao Beasts!

On his chest... a crack extended from his right shoulder to his left abdomen.

This fatal injury, in the eyes of Wu Yi, was of no consequence.

Because he was dead...

He had been dead for hundreds of years or even longer.

He also didn't know what state he was in now... If one said he was dead, he was still alive.

If one said he was alive, there was no difference between him and the dead!

Wu Yi gripped the long saber in his hand, his feet stepping on the gravel...

Leaving no footprints on the sand.

Behind him... followed dozens of remnant soldiers.

"Commander... where are we going?"

A Commander is a genuine eighth-rank military officer.

In charge of fifteen hundred First-grade Dao Soldiers, several Second-Rank Dao Soldiers, and himself being a Second-Rank elite or a Third-Rank Dao Soldier!

A position of considerable power!

But now... it was all a thing of the past.

Looking at the sun, Wu Yi shook his head.

His voice was dry.

"I don't know."

Behind him... waves rose without any wind.

The invisible waves of emptiness turned into dark blue ripples, spreading quietly like ripples on water.

Wu Yi's face was indifferent... and the many remnant soldiers were also extremely calm.

An illusory middle-aged figure said hoarsely.

"Little Wuzi... I can't hold on anymore!"

"We escaped the Ancient Battlefield through a loophole in the Formation... the Annihilation Spirit Storm finds it hard to lock onto us quickly."

"But if we can't hold on... the Annihilation Spirit Storm will quickly locate us."

"Commander... what should we do?"

Wu Yi was silent, and he saw many remnant soldiers behind him speaking hoarsely.

"I am too hungry."

"Commander... I don't want to run anymore either."

"We have already fled for thousands of miles... that ever-present hunger is about to consume me."

"Without the imperial edict from the court... we are not Yin Soldiers, but vengeful ghosts."

"We are people of the old era; there are no tickets for the new era left..."

"Commander... give up on us, and run for your life!"

"Your will is firm, you will definitely be able to survive!"

Seeing this, the last bit of persistence in Wu Yi's heart was quietly shaken!

He actually slowly lowered his long saber and laughed hoarsely.

"We are all comrades who have lived and died together... if you all die, what is the point of me living on as a lonely ghost?"

After saying this... everyone looked at each other and smiled, walking together towards the Yin Soldier who was nearing madness.

Opening their arms.

"Little Wuzi..."

"You coward, managing to persist until here is already not bad."

"I knew from the beginning that you were a talent worth molding..."

Dark blue mountains and waters, the might of heaven rolling in...

But it was slow to descend.

An anomaly... was quietly born!
