Chapter 460 The Calm Before the Storm

Chapter 460: The Calm Before the Storm

Hearing Manli Tian's words, the King-level Chaos Beasts present nodded silently.

Chaotian City was indeed a very suitable target.

Among the three super forces in the South Sea Immortal Realm, Chaotian Palace was the weakest.

The entire Sect only had two Great Luo Immortal Kings.

Moreover, their strength was not too strong.

Even Chaotian Immortal King was only a Middle Stage Great Luo Immortal.

Even with the Immortal City's Formation blessing, they were confident they could quickly breach Chaotian City.

But why did Manli Tian want Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge to act with them?

Everyone was very puzzled by this.

With the strength of their Manli Mountain, dealing with Chaotian City was more than enough.

Why bring Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge along?

Wouldn't that just be letting others share the spoils of war?

There was no need at all.

Manli Di asked with some confusion, "Grand Elder, why notify Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge?"

"Wouldn't it be better to let them attack Silver River Immortal City?"

"Maybe they could even help us distract Silver River Immortal Lord."

Manli Tian said indifferently, "Do they have the guts for that?"

"With the meager strength of Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge, how would they dare provoke Silver River Immortal Lord?"

"Moreover, Chaotian City is deep within Human Race territory."

"We absolutely cannot drag this out; we must go in and out quickly."

"Take down Chaotian City at the fastest speed."

"Otherwise, if the surrounding Immortal Cities send reinforcements, we might find it very difficult to escape."

"Bringing Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge also increases our strength."

"Firstly, they can help us clear surrounding obstacles."

"Secondly, they can help quickly breach Chaotian City."

Hearing Manli Tian's explanation, all the King Beasts present nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

Once they ventured deep into Human Race territory, they could easily be surrounded.

Therefore, this operation emphasized 'speed'.

They had to be fast.

Take down Chaotian City at the fastest speed, then quickly transport the sacrifices back to the Tribe.

To achieve this goal, it didn't matter if they shared some spoils of war with Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge.

Safety first.

They didn't want to suffer a major setback in the South Sea Immortal Realm like the Helan Mountain Tribe.

With a command from Manli Tian, the entire Manli Mountain Tribe quickly sprang into action.

They swiftly assembled over two million Chaos Beast Army.

After the forces gathered, they immediately headed straight for the Luoyan Mountain Tribe to the east.

According to Manli Tian's plan, they would meet the three great Tribes at Luoyan Mountain, then proceed east, bypass Silver River Immortal City, and advance towards Chaotian City.

Although this route was much longer, it was entirely worth it to avoid Silver River Immortal Lord's attention.

Despite Manli Tian's confidence in this operation, he still had a backup plan.

He only brought half of the King Beasts from the entire Manli Mountain Tribe, a total of fifty-six.

The remaining King Beasts stayed behind with Grand Elder Manli Di to guard the Tribe.

He didn't even take too many of the Chaos Beast Army.

In this kind of quick in-and-out warfare, numbers were not necessarily an advantage; they could also be a burden.

Manli Tian selected two million elite forces from the Tribe and then quickly advanced eastward.

Manli Di stood on the altar, silently watching the massive army depart.

He muttered to himself, "I hope nothing unexpected happens."

To be honest, if he had a choice, he would rather not have this operation.

Although the Manli Mountain Tribe's strength could easily crush Chaotian Palace, even with the Immortal City's Formation assistance, Chaotian Palace would absolutely not be able to withstand their attack for half an hour.

However, Chaotian City was, after all, located deep within Human Race territory.

They could bypass Silver River Immortal City and sneak over, perhaps catching Chaotian Palace off guard.

Successfully taking down Chaotian City was indeed not a big problem.

But what about afterwards?

How would those two million Chaos Beast Army return to the Tribe?

If the Cultivators of the South Sea Immortal Realm intercepted them halfway, could they still return?

Especially that Silver River Immortal Lord.

If Silver River Immortal Lord cut off their retreat, it would be very difficult for those two million Chaos Beast Army to return to the Tribe.

Now Manli Di understood why the Grand Elder wanted to bring Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge along.

Perhaps it was to find a scapegoat.

Once their retreat was cut off by Silver River Immortal Lord, they could choose to retreat in scattered groups, letting Luoyan Mountain and Qiuyue Ridge help them attract some firepower.

Even so, Manli Di's heart was still filled with worry.

The risk of this operation was simply too great.

If it weren't for the strict orders from the Helan Mountain Tribe, they would definitely not have acted.

It was just a pity that they had no choice.

On the Chaos Continent, the Twelve Great Tribes were their heaven.

Even if the Helan Mountain Tribe ordered them to their deaths, they had to go.

No one dared to disobey the will of these great Tribes.

…

Time slowly passed.

Dozens of Immortal Realms under Heavenly Star Sacred Ground were embroiled in a full-scale war with the Chaos Beasts.

Large numbers of Immortal Cities were breached by Chaos Beasts.

In some Immortal Realms, there were even critical situations where Chaos Beasts broke into Wang-level Immortal Cities.

Fortunately, with the support of Heavenly Star Sacred Ground, the Chaos Beasts were eventually driven out.

To date, no Wang-level Immortal City has been completely occupied by Chaos Beasts.

Even so, the Cultivators of various Immortal Realms still suffered heavy losses.

The great war continued for six or seven years.

The Cultivators of the major Immortal Realms were already somewhat fatigued.

However, what was strange was that while all other Immortal Realms were constantly at war, the South Sea Immortal Realm remained peaceful.

Their Immortal Cities on the Chaos Continent were not attacked.

It was as if the South Sea Immortal Realm did not belong to Heavenly Star Sacred Ground and was completely ignored by the Chaos Beasts.

Zhang Yuhe walked out of the main hall.

He stood at the peak of Silver River Peak, overlooking the entire Immortal City.

Over the past few years, Silver River Immortal City had been continuously strengthening its war preparations.

They constantly collected resources, mobilized various forces, and refined various defensive equipment.

The four city walls of Silver River Immortal City were now covered with Immortal Extermination Cannons of various Ranks.

Among them, tens of thousands of Low-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons were built.

They also built over six hundred Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons.

Although no traces of Chaos Beasts had appeared around Silver River Immortal City, Zhang Yuhe did not dare to be careless.

He even set up warning posts hundreds of billions of miles away from the Immortal City, hoping to discover the Chaos Beasts in advance and win them more warning time.

In Zhang Yuhe's view, this was merely the calm before the storm.

Hundreds of billions of miles away from Silver River Immortal City, there were three Level 4 Tribes.

He didn't believe that these three Tribes would not take action.

That was completely impossible.

Helan Mountain launched a full-scale attack on the Immortal Realms under Heavenly Star Sacred Ground.

How could it possibly miss only the South Sea Immortal Realm?

Perhaps those Chaos Beasts were quietly advancing, just not yet discovered.

Zhang Yuhe believed that once the Chaos Beasts appeared, they would definitely face a thunderous strike from the enemy.

Over these years, no matter how urgent the situation in other Immortal Realms became, Zhang Yuhe never left the Immortal City.

He didn't go to support other Immortal Realms because it wasn't time yet.

Unless he defeated the three great Tribes nearby, he couldn't go anywhere.

What if Silver River Immortal City was ambushed by Chaos Beasts right after he left? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?

Defending the first wave was paramount.

If he weren't so busy with his main body, he would even want to spend a few years traveling a long distance to wipe out those three Level 4 Tribes.

It was just a pity that he couldn't leave.
