"You bastards! You deserve to die!"
Instantly, the auras of nine-rank underground warriors surged, pressing towards the humans. All fourteen nine-rank underground warriors unleashed their auras, poised to strike. The humans also unleashed their own auras, confronting their opponents.
The entire underground cave was swaying under the aura of a ninth-rank official, as if a ninth-rank battle was about to break out at any moment.
Nan Yunyue wasn't worried at all, after all, the current situation favored humanity; during the first great war, there were 16...
There are now only fourteen people left who are ranked ninth. At most, there will be one more, the Rose King, whose whereabouts are unknown. However, given the current situation, the Rose King will not appear, since he did not even appear after his guardian deity was killed.
Moreover, with her, Zhang Weiyu, and Lu Hao—three beings capable of taking on multiple opponents—on the human side, they have even less to fear. Nan Yunyue, on the contrary, looks forward to the arrival of the ninth-rank cultivators from the opposite underground cave, so that she can wipe out most of the ninth-rank cultivators in the Tiannan Underground Cave.
"Hmph, come on then if you dare. A war isn't our problem. The Rose King has disappeared; the most likely explanation is that he went to the Realm of Boundaries. This is betrayal. We've personally dealt with this traitor for you. You should be thanking us—."
Nan Yunyue said with a smile.
Meanwhile, the nine ranks of the underground cave were also exchanging messages, asking Nan Yunyue if what she said was true. After all, if it were true, the Rose City Lord and Rose were indeed traitors.
"Hmph! Human martial artists, don't be so smug. Once we recover from our injuries, we'll show you what we're made of."
After they finished speaking, the auras of the several ninth-rank cultivators all subsided.
A hint of disdain flashed in Nan Yunyue's eyes as she coldly snorted, "A bunch of cowards who fear death! They don't even dare to fight. We should rest and recuperate now. This battle is just the beginning, not the end!"
"This time, we will not stop until we have terrified them and rendered them unable to fight any longer!"
This battle in the Tiannan Cave is a major war that China has been preparing for for two years, gathering hundreds of grandmasters. We must fight our way out and make them powerless against humanity!
A cold glint flashed in Nan Yunyue's eyes; she needed to kill at least four or five more of them!
One city—leaving one spot for him is the limit.
"Let's go back and continue to rest; the current situation is in our favor."
As Nan Yunyue spoke, she picked up the corpse of the rose and headed back to Tiannan City. The life essence in the rose's body was already very little; most of it had been taken away by the Rose King and taken to the Boundary Land, leaving only about ten or twenty pounds.
However, everyone was also very happy about this, after all, this time they killed another ninth-rank without taking any damage. Since they entered, they had killed 7 ninth-rank people, and none of the ninth-rank people on their side had fallen. Under the effect of the life essence, even the injured had recovered. This kind of battle result was unprecedented!
A resounding victory! An absolute and overwhelming victory!
Upon returning to Tiannan City, Grandmasters immediately surrounded him to congratulate him. After all, the human who had just shouted loudly from the Ninth-Ranked Caveman had been heard clearly throughout the entire Tiannan Cave. He must have gained a great advantage, otherwise the Caveman wouldn't be so angry.
Upon learning that another ninth-rank cultivator had been slain, many veteran masters were moved to tears. Victory! Humanity will prevail!
Just as Nan Yunyue returned, on the other side, among the underground warriors who were still discussing countermeasures, a king sensed something and turned to head back to his city.
Before long, a ninth-grade aura rose from the underground cave again.
"What's this? The Lord of Gnawing Tooth City has left, but the direction he's heading... could it be that he's going to invite the demonic beasts and plants of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to come out of the mountain?"
Nan Yunyue looked at the place where the ninth-grade aura was erupting and said.
She had a headache. The situation in the underground cave was becoming more and more complicated. She didn't know where the Rose City Lord had gone. She had just been talking nonsense. Now the Tooth City Lord had also left.
"Minister Nan, there are only fourteen Rank 9 experts left in the underground cave. Shall we move out together now?"
A ninth-rank grandmaster offered his advice.
"No, the situation is too complicated right now. Where is the Rose City Lord? And where is the Tooth City Lord? What if he suddenly returns during the battle to deal with any eventuality? Let's rest first. We have the upper hand now, so we're not in a hurry."
Nan Yunyue refused, saying that the current situation was becoming increasingly perplexing.
Beside him, Minister Wang coughed lightly and said, "Could it be that person who caused the trouble?"
Nan Yunyu said, "Cause trouble? Do you think we could cause trouble all the way to Gnawing City? Gnawing City is 2000 kilometers away from here—"
Moreover, the place Lord of Gnawing City ultimately went was the far west, which was completely unrelated to the area.
Lu Hao, on the other hand, acted as a background figure. After all, Fang Ping and his gang, aside from anything else, were unmatched in their ability to cause trouble.
Lu Hao wasn't too worried about their safety, since Wang Jinyang still had his mental energy clones, which he would release if they encountered any dire situation.
Nan Yunyue distributed the life essence obtained from killing the rose to several grandmasters, since it was a joint effort by them and therefore could not be considered personal property.
No one said anything more, and they continued to adjust their state, ready to face the great battle at any time. After all, the enemy still had fourteen ninth-rank cultivators who had recovered, and they would probably continue their attack. After a while, Yang Daohong, who hadn't said much, suddenly said, "Minister Nan, Garrison Commander Zhang, Deputy Commander Li—now that the Tooth King has left, I must also leave."
When Nan Yunyue heard Yang Daohong's words, she wanted to refuse. After all, the situation was very favorable now, and another battle would be enough to crush the other side. Now that a human ninth-rank had left, the pressure would be even greater.
However, she also knew the importance of the Boundary Land. If the Underground Cave gained another Supreme Being, the problem would become even more serious. Nan Yunyue sighed and said, "Although I really want Grandmaster Yang to stay, the matter of the Boundary Land is also very important. Grandmaster Yang must be careful when he goes there. The City Lord of Rose City may also be going to the Boundary Land to seek an opportunity for breakthrough."
Thank you.
Yang Daohong left without saying much, after all, the others from Zhenxing City had been gone for more than a day and might be under threat now.
Nan Yunyue said with some regret, "It's a pity. With Master Yang gone, we're not in a very advantageous position anymore."
Lu Hao remained silent on the matter, as he had no goodwill towards the Yang family patriarch, who had betrayed humanity.
However, he still had a good impression of Yang Daohong. After all, he didn't leave at the beginning, but fought all the way until he saw that the human side had the upper hand before leaving. In the original timeline, he died in the Boundary Land and was brought back by Fang Ping. He didn't know what the situation was this time. If Yang Daohong hadn't died, maybe the Yang family wouldn't have gone crazy like in the original timeline. But who knows? After all, the other families' top experts were still there, but their Yang family's were missing. If they wanted to regain their status, they would have to find the top experts. The best way would really be to find the ancestor's body.
