99: Chapter 99 Participation

Five days quickly passed, and the cultivation countries surrounding Yan Country arrived one after another.

During this period, Yan Country was responsible for guarding the first and second days, the third and fourth days were handled by Han Country and State of Wei, and the fifth and sixth days were handled by State of Qi and State of Shu.

These four cultivation countries could not be compared to Yan Country in terms of strength alone; the number of Cultivator dispatched from them was only 200,000, and the individually mobilized Golden Core Master were only three or four.

Meanwhile, Yan Country had a full 400,000 Cultivator dispatched, along with nearly ten Golden Core Master.

After all, Yan Country's strength could rank in the top five even among the dozen or so surrounding countries, and it could even be said that these several cultivation countries had once been Yan Country's territory, except that two thousand years ago, a major upheaval occurred in Yan Country and the three Nascent Soul factions disappeared overnight.

It was precisely because of the disappearance of Yan Country's three Nascent Soul factions that Tang Country, Chu Country, and Zhao Country seized the opportunity to develop and become Nascent Soul factions.

Chen Changqing and the others went to the battlefield once again.

Through the battles of the first and second days, Yan Country lost tens of thousands of Cultivator in action, meaning an average of 10,000 to 20,000 Cultivator died each day.

This consumption could not be described as small; if every day were like this, then this Great Wall could at most hold out for twenty days.

Fortunately, the Yao Race itself also suffered heavy losses.

When attacking Yan Country on the first day, a total of nearly one million Yao Beast were dispatched, and casualties reached tens of thousands.

As long as the Human Race continued to inflict larger-scale casualties on the Yao Race, this war would end.

It was just not that simple; the rear of the Yao Race was still continuously teleporting members of the Yao Race from within the Yao country over.

As long as the teleportation Formation was not destroyed for a single day, this war would not end for a single day.

After a few more days, the Heavenly Talisman Sect of Zhao Country led 500,000 Human Race Cultivator to join the war, and even Great Immortal Master Tianfu personally arrived.

On the side of the Yao Race, after ten consecutive days of attacks, hundreds of thousands of the Yao Race were killed or injured.

Since the rear Yao Race were not replenished in time, they had no choice but to retreat and recuperate first.

Although there were several large teleportation Formations in the rear, even if these Formations operated at full capacity, they could at most teleport tens of thousands of the Yao Race per day.

Coupled with the fact that the Yao Race was attacking on multiple fronts, their consumption naturally expanded further.

In fact, it was also because they were too eager for quick success, as the daily consumption of the teleportation Formations required a massive amount of Spirit Stone, and the Yao Race had only conquered State of Zheng and Lu Country, while State of Wei was only half-conquered.

On the contrary, this piece of territory belonging to Yan Country was extremely hard to crack.

The Yao Race was almost giving up on this place, but if Yan Country's territory was conquered, they would completely occupy the southern territory of the Human Race and could use this as a springboard in the future to conquer other territories.

Of course, the Human Race would not give them this opportunity.

The three countries of Zheng, Wei, and Lu could be lost because their own strength was not considered strong, but if Yan Country completely perished, they would lose a share of combat power in the northeastern corner of this Eastern Domain—that is, the territory of these seventeen countries—and would even lose a significant amount of their say in front of the major Dynasty.

The reason why these seventeen cultivation countries could survive here safely was partly due to the three Nascent Soul factions.

Several thousand years ago, they relied on those three factions of the Wanta Sect, and several thousand years later, they relied on these few Nascent Soul factions of the Qinglian Sword Sect.

The three cultivation countries ruled by the three Nascent Soul factions of the Qinglian Sword Sect occupied over half of the combat power of the seventeen countries' territory.

As for the following Yan Country and Song Country, both cultivation countries possessed around twenty Golden Core Master.

As for the remaining cultivation countries, most of them had a dozen or even only a few Golden Core Master guarding them.

Chen Changqing and the others climbed onto the city wall.

Looking out, apart from quite a few Cultivator cleaning up the battlefield, there were no living Yao Beast present.

The biggest battle achievement obtained when the one million Yao Beast previously pressed upon the border was actually slaying two Golden Core Master and heavily injuring several Golden Core Master.

As for Purple Mansion Master, the casualties were even greater.

Although Human Race Cultivator were replenished in time, Golden Core Master and Purple Mansion Master were not so easily replenished; whenever one died, there was one less.

This was also why Golden Core Master dared not lead teams to encircle and suppress the Yao Beast, mainly fearing that they had an ambush.

For the Yao Race side, the more the war was dragged out, the more advantageous it became for them.

They could wait for the Yao Beast in the rear to slowly replenish and then rely on numbers to consume the high-tier Cultivator of the Human Race.

Their Tier 4 Yao Kings would launch sneak attacks from the shadows against the Golden Core Master of the Human Race.

As long as the number of Golden Core Master continued to decrease, it would be even easier for them to conquer Yan Country.

In the following few days, Chen Changqing and the others were very idle.

The Yao Race at most dispatched small-scale Yao Beast to harass the Human Race, and the Human Race naturally had strategies to cope, similarly dispatching small squads of Cultivator to harass the opponent.

Of course, the mission of going to the rear of the Yao Race to fight was extremely dangerous, so the upper echelons of the Human Race also gave some rewards.

As long as one was willing to go to the rear to raid the Yao Race and complete the mission, they could withdraw to the rear first.

If it weren't for these rewards, no Cultivator would be willing to go.

However, not just anyone could participate.

The requirement was for the cultivation base to be at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment or above, or for the strength to be at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment or above.

Through Li Qingling's introduction, Chen Changqing had an audience with Master Baiye.

After displaying the combat power of the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment in front of Master Baiye, he also successfully joined the team.

During this period, quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivator also came, but most of them failed to pass because their cultivation bases were mostly below the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.

Although their strength was stronger than those of the same tier, their comprehensive combat power was still some distance away from the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Changqing walked into the grand hall, where all the Cultivator who were going to the rear of the Yao Race gathered.

He was together with one Purple Mansion Master and another nine Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Among them, the cultivation bases of two people were also below the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment—one was at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, and one at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.

When they saw Chen Changqing joining them with the cultivation base of the third layer of Foundation Establishment, several people immediately became unhappy.

This was a fatal mission; if just any Cultivator could participate casually, wouldn't they be harmed to death?

"Fellow Daoist, I am Zhang Zheng. Did you walk into the wrong place?"

Although his tone carried a sense of admonition, looking at his appearance, his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Chen Changqing said in a calm tone: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Fellow Daoist. I am precisely ordered to go to the rear of the Yao Race to disrupt the enemy."

Hearing this, the eyes of several people carried scrutiny and uncertainty.

But after just a moment, they withdrew their own unrealistic thoughts.

A Cultivator at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, even if their Dao Foundation was of top-grade quality, could at most be equivalent to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.

And this young man was unknown and lacked fame; how could he possibly have this kind of strength?

"Senior, our trip this time is a narrow escape from death. If we bring along a burden, wouldn't that harm everyone?"

Zhang Zheng said respectfully.

"This is the decision from above. Since he has been included in the list, perhaps there is something special about him. Since all young friends have determined to join, I hope you can join hands with one heart to deal with the enemy."

Master Moxuan, dressed in a black robe, swept his gaze across everyone and realized that most of them mistrusted the young man before them, so he had no choice but to offer an explanation.

Seeing that Master Moxuan had no objections, these Foundation Establishment Cultivator had some guesses in their hearts regarding the identity of the young man before them, but it was not convenient for them to say anything more.
