Chapter 3843 Qin Cang

“Zhenyuan Pass!”

When Wei Zhenbei’s immortal ship traversed the void and arrived, the army originally stationed outside Zhenyuan Pass was in turmoil.

Generals from all sides came to pay their respects.   Wei Zhenbei received them one

by one .   At the same time   , he learned about the arrival of the Northern Frontier army.   ”One hundred and sixty million troops!”   ”Almost one-fifth of the vast Northern Frontier’s forces have gathered here. Such a force will definitely not be a problem to deal with Zhenyuan Pass!”   Inside the immortal ship’s main hall, many generals were excited, their faces filled with joy.   How many troops were there in the Northern Frontier?   No one knew the exact number.   But one thing they were certain of   was that the total strength of the vast Northern Frontier would definitely not exceed one billion.   The arrival of one hundred and sixty million troops was already quite a large number.   The Northern Frontier was vast;   mobilizing such a large army would take time.   In just a few days, the cities were able to mobilize an army of 160 million, which was no small feat.   Wei Zhenbei stepped out of the main hall, stood with his hands behind his back in the void, and looked at the ancient immortal city that stretched across the sky and earth before him. The ancient Daoist aura that had existed for countless years made him instinctively feel apprehensive.   ”Zhenyuan Pass!”   Wei Zhenbei took a deep breath. This was not his first time visiting Zhenyuan Pass, but every time he came here, he was shocked by its magnificence.   To this day, Wei Zhenbei still found it hard to believe   that Zhenyuan Pass, with its strength, had fallen into the hands of an unknown force.   ”However… none of that matters anymore. After this battle, Zhenyuan Pass will return to the hands of my Immortal Qin Dynasty!”   Wei Zhenbei’s eyes were firm. Then, with a thought, he summoned the generals from all sides, and with a flick of his hand, corresponding tokens appeared out of thin air.   ”These nine tokens will help you break through the restrictions of Zhenyuan Pass. Now that the army has arrived, there is no need to wait any longer.   Whoever can reach the pass first will be rewarded!”   ”Your subordinate obeys!”   The generals all respectfully accepted the order, then each took a token, and immediately mobilized the armies of various cities to launch an attack on Zhenyuan Pass.   Wei Zhenbei glanced at the troop movements, then turned his gaze back to the direction of Zhenyuan Pass, or more precisely, to the figure on Zhenyuan Pass.   ”I have received your challenge. Now let’s see if you are qualified to stop the army of my Immortal Qin Dynasty!”   Wei Zhenbei smiled, as if he could already see the scene of Zhenyuan Pass falling.   On the other side.   When the army of the Immortal Qin Dynasty launched its attack, many cultivators from the Seven Profound Dao Sect only watched for a moment before their expressions changed slightly.   ”No, the army of the Immortal Qin Dynasty is avoiding those ancient restrictions!”   The restrictions inside and outside Zhenyuan Pass were the most powerful barrier of this fortress.   Originally, it was thought that the previous restrictions alone would be enough to give the Immortal Qin Dynasty a run for its money, but now it seems that the other side also has methods to circumvent these restrictions.   Wenren Chen, who was standing to the side, changed his expression slightly upon seeing this scene, but quickly recovered.   Only Shen Changqing remained calm throughout, showing no surprise at the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s army’s ability to achieve this.   In his view, the Immortal Qin Dynasty obtaining the Zhenyuan Pass map was not too surprising.   Although the Zhenyuan Pass map was important and would not be easily leaked, it depended on the situation.   The restrictions inside and outside Zhenyuan Pass were different, and this kind of map facing the northern frontier was naturally not as important as the map facing the outside world.   Furthermore,   Han Chongshan knew that the Seven Profound Dao Sect wanted to attack Zhenyuan Pass, so it was understandable that the other side had made some preparations in advance.   But Shen Changqing had already rearranged the restrictions, so even if the Immortal Qin Dynasty had the original map, it would be useless.   As expected—   less than thirty miles into Zhenyuan Pass, the void suddenly trembled, and a terrifying power of Daoist energy erupted, manifesting endless rules of slaughter to suppress everything.   This sudden turn of events caused the leading general’s expression to change slightly. He then activated the token in his hand, which unleashed a beam of immortal light, seemingly attempting to dismantle the Daoist restriction before him.   However,   the instant the immortal light touched the restriction, it remained completely unaffected, its unstoppable force continuing to suppress everything, causing the general’s expression to change drastically.   ”Not good!!!”   The general hurriedly tried to defend himself, but it was too late.   The terrifying killing power of Daoist energy descended, and the leading general didn’t even have time to scream before his body was torn to pieces, his soul unable to escape, utterly annihilated on the spot.   Moreover,   this power of Daoist energy was vast and overwhelming, sweeping across all directions.   At the instant the Daoist aura was activated, numerous ancient restrictions seemed to be activated, erupting almost instantly.   ”Boom!!”   The Daoist restrictions outside Zhenyuan Pass erupted simultaneously, unleashing a devastating wave that swept across the entire realm. Any cultivators within the restricted area were instantly annihilated.   In less than a moment, all nine armies were wiped out; not a single one survived.   This scene was so sudden that it caught all the cultivators completely off guard.   They simply stared blankly at the horrific scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, speechless for a moment.   ”Impossible!”   Wei Zhenbei’s pupils constricted sharply. The scene before him caused his right fist to clench so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh without him even noticing.   Nine armies!   A full two million cultivators!   In just a moment, they were annihilated before his very eyes.   Two million cultivators had all perished, not even their complete corpses preserved.   This sudden turn of events made Wei Zhenbei feel a wave of dizziness; his body swayed slightly, and his Dao heart nearly wavered.   He had initially thought that with the geomantic map and the pass to Zhenyuan Pass, he could proceed unimpeded and directly besiege the city.   However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.   Just then…

The void trembled slightly, and a figure dressed in purple casual clothes appeared out of thin air. The person was handsome, not very old, but his eyes revealed a world-weariness beyond his years.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

Wei Zhenbei was startled upon seeing the figure’s arrival and hurriedly bowed.

This was none other than the Third Tribulation Half-Saint of the royal family.

His status was extremely high, and his seniority even surpassed that of a member of the royal family; Wei Zhenbei, though not a member of the royal family, had to address him with the title “Ancestor.”

Qin Cang stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Zhenyuan Pass, seemingly trying to discern some clues, remaining silent for a long time.

After a moment,

Qin Cang slowly spoke, breaking the silence.

“The geomantic map in your hand is genuine, but the passage token is useless. If I’m not mistaken, the original restrictions outside Zhenyuan Pass belonging to my Immortal Qin Dynasty have been secretly altered and erased.

These new restrictions are subtly connected to other ancient restrictions.

A single change affects everything; trying to pass directly using the passage token is no longer possible!”

Qin Cang’s words caused Wei Zhenbei’s expression to change again.   He had actually already considered

this .   But when he truly heard Qin Cang say it aloud, confirming the matter, Wei Zhenbei was still shaken.   ”Ancestor, what do you think we should do to break this deadlock?”   ”It’s simple, just advance!”   Qin Cang stood with his hands behind his back, his face gentle, but his words were as chilling as a dead of winter.   “No restriction can be inexhaustible; power has its limits. This is true even for saints, and even more so for demigods.   The ancient restrictions outside Zhenyuan Pass were left by top-tier experts. The residual Daoist power left by such beings is not easily worn away.   However, Daoist restrictions set up by ordinary demigods are much easier to eliminate.   Moreover, that force hasn’t held Zhenyuan Pass for long. How many powerful restrictions could they have set up in such a short time?   Therefore, we only need to keep sending troops to attack until that Daoist power is exhausted, and all the problems will be solved!”   These words   silenced Wei Zhenbei.   How could he not understand Qin Cang’s meaning?   From the other party’s perspective, it was simply a matter of using cultivators’ lives to pay the price.   After all, to wear down the power of a restriction, the only way is to continuously use other cultivators to forcibly attack it.   But the restrictions set up by those semi-saints were terrifying in themselves, and these restrictions could also trigger other ancient restrictions, creating a chain reaction that would make it difficult for even a Celestial Emperor to survive.   ”Ancestor… is there any other way?”   Wei Zhenbei asked with difficulty.   But as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Cang glanced at him, his voice turning cold.   ”You should understand the principle that a merciful general cannot command an army. Besides, an army raised for a thousand days is used for one. Our Immortal Qin Dynasty has nurtured them for so many years, and now it is time for them to sacrifice themselves for the court.   Issue the order: whoever is the first to reach Zhenyuan Pass, I will grant them an immortal elixir!   However, anyone who dares to stop will be killed on the spot without mercy!”   Qin Cang’s words shook Wei Zhenbei to his core, but he still hesitated.   However, when Wei Zhenbei met Qin Cang’s icy gaze, a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, completely dispelling any remaining hesitation.   In that instant,   Wei Zhenbei understood.   If he continued to hesitate, then this commander might have to be replaced.   Despite his high position and power in the Immortal Qin Dynasty, he was ultimately just an Immortal Emperor, nothing in front of a royal ancestor like Qin Cang.   Below the level of a Half-Saint, all are ants!   This applied equally in the court.   If the other side truly intended to kill him, Wei Zhenbei believed that no one would speak up for him.   Understanding this, he naturally stopped hesitating and directly ordered Qin Cang to command the other armies to forcibly attack the city.   This order caused an uproar among the various armies.   Not long ago,   two million troops had been annihilated before their very eyes.   Everyone could see that the restrictions on Zhenyuan Pass were now terrifying; a forced attack was tantamount to suicide.
