Meanwhile, Wu Qian was processing documents in his room, but he was somewhat distracted. He had long been a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so he knew more than others. He knew that the Blood Slaughter Sect would be taking action today, and that their target was Wuwei City. He was eager to know how things would turn out there.

Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door. Wu Qian was startled, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately said, "Come in." The door was pushed open, and a man walked in. The man's face was not good. He looked at Wu Qian and said, "General, something has happened. Some of the people in the base who believe in the Creation God Cult have suddenly all died."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian's expression changed. He immediately stood up and said, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened. Someone, go and send letters to each base to ask them how things are going there."

Someone immediately responded and turned to leave. The messenger then continued to Wu Qian, "General, just now, those who joined the Creation God Cult suddenly screamed and then all turned into black smoke and disappeared. No one knows what happened, and no one attacked them. They just died suddenly."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian immediately replied, "Okay, I understand. You can go down now and see how many people died this time. Also, reassure the people below and tell them not to be nervous."

The man responded and turned to leave. Only after the man left did Wu Qian's expression relax. He knew exactly what had happened; Wuwei City must have succeeded, otherwise such a thing wouldn't have happened. But what he was curious about was what Wuwei City had done and why this had occurred.

Just then, the person who had gone out to contact the various bases returned. He saluted Wu Qian and said, "General, I've contacted the other bases. Except for Wuwei City, all the other bases say they're fine. I can't get in touch with Wuwei City."

Wu Qian immediately said, "Something must have happened in Wuwei City. Send a letter to the other bases and tell them to go and support Wuwei City immediately."

The man responded and left immediately. Wu Qian then said, "Someone, go and invite General Wu here." Someone immediately responded and then turned and left.

A moment later, a cultivator who looked to be in his forties, not very tall but very strong, wearing a suit of armor, walked in. He bowed to Wu Qian and said, "General, you wanted to see me?"

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Go back immediately, take five hundred kingdom-level experts and five million cultivators, and go to Wuwei City to see what's happened there. Remember, be quick."

General Wu's expression changed, then he responded and immediately turned to leave. Wu Qian watched General Wu's retreating figure with a smile on his face. This General Wu was not a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect and was not on his side, but he was someone Wu Qian had personally promoted and who was very loyal to him. However, he had been in charge of troops in other places before, and this time he was transferred to the front line. Wu Qian had not yet had time to turn him into one of his own. It just so happened that there was such a mission this time, so he would let him complete the mission. He was not a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so his reaction would definitely be the most genuine, and no one would be able to see any problem.

General Wu quickly mustered his troops, because they were on the front line and needed to be ready for battle at any time. In addition, all of them were soldiers, so it did not take long to muster the troops.

General Wu had also tried, but the teleportation array didn't work. So after gathering his troops, he flew straight towards Wuwei City. They weren't far from Wuwei City. Wuwei City, Huyang City, and Yuxu Sect were the three bases that General Li had chosen. Because they needed to support each other, they weren't far apart, only a little over a thousand li in total. Such a distance was really nothing to them.

However, when they were about 300 li away from Wuwei City, General Wu suddenly noticed something was wrong. He realized that they seemed to be flying forward, but after a while, they still hadn't seen Wuwei City, which was definitely not normal.

At their flight speed, if they had really been flying forward, they should be almost over Wuwei City by now. If something had really happened in Wuwei City, they should have seen the Blood Slaughter Sect's Creation Golden Wheel by now, or even heard the sounds of the two sides fighting. But now there was nothing. They kept flying forward, but there was nothing around them. There was no Wuwei City, no sounds of fighting, not even a wisp of wind.

General Wu waved his hand, and everyone stopped. He glanced around and then said, "Something's not right. We've been flying for so long, we should be over Wuwei City by now, but why is there nothing here? Where is Wuwei City?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that. Then they realized what he meant and looked around but found nothing. Their expressions changed and they finally realized that something was wrong.

Just then, a cultivator spoke up: "General, either we are already inside the illusion array, or Wuwei City is blocked by the illusion array."

General Wu nodded, then shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! Attack together! Three, two, one, attack!" Everyone unleashed their magical weapons and charged forward.

The next moment, they felt the surrounding space distort, and several golden wheels of creation were revealed. However, those golden wheels of creation seemed to realize that they had been exposed and flew away immediately.

General Wu, his face grim, said, "Quickly, fly forward! Get to Wuwei City as fast as you can!" Everyone responded and sped up. After flying for a while, they all sensed something was wrong. Logically, they should have already reached the skies above Wuwei City, but they found nothing. How could they not be surprised? They all looked around, their speed unconsciously slowing down. General Wu looked around for a long while before speaking, "Everyone, listen to my command! Attack forward together! Three, two, one, fire!" With his voice, everyone attacked again, but this time there was no reaction from the surroundings—no enemies, no Creation Golden Wheel.

General Wu's expression changed again. He looked around carefully and then shouted, "Map!" Someone immediately responded and flew to General Wu's side. With a flick of his hand, a large map unfolded. General Wu looked around carefully, then glanced at the map. His expression changed again, and he said, "We've flown past it. Wuwei City should be behind us."

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that. They immediately turned around to look behind them, but found nothing. There was no Wuwei City there at all. However, everyone quickly understood what was going on. One of the cultivators said, "Illusion array."

General Wu nodded, and just as he was about to order the army to turn around, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distant sky. General Wu was taken aback, and then he immediately shouted, "Be on alert!" Everyone tensed up and prepared for battle.

The other side also noticed them and slowed down. The two sides slowly approached each other, and when they could finally see each other, they were all stunned because they realized that the other side was one of their own.

Upon seeing the leader of the group, General Wu immediately asked, "Elder Liu, are you also going to support Wuwei City?"

Upon hearing this, a person immediately flew out from the enemy ranks. This person clasped his hands in a fist salute to General Wu and said, "It's General Wu! Yes, we've also come to support Wuwei City."

General Wu gave a wry smile and said, "We've already flown over there; Wuwei City is behind us."

Elder Liu was taken aback when he heard this. He then turned his head and looked over in confusion. He said, "That's not right. We just flew over from there. There..." He stopped abruptly and then said, "I understand. It's an illusion array."

General Wu nodded and said, "Yes, an illusion array. Let's go back."

Elder Liu didn't say anything this time. He directly called his team members to fly back with him. They had sent quite a few people this time. Although they didn't have as many as General Wu's team, it looked like they had about a million people.

This time, General Wu was more cautious. As he flew forward, he kept an eye on the surrounding terrain. After a while, he waved his hand and shouted, "Stop!" Everyone stopped, including Elder Liu and the others.

Elder Liu looked at General Wu, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "General Wu, what's wrong?"

General Wu glanced around and then said, "This should be Wuwei City, but look around." Elder Liu turned his head and looked around. There were trees all around, and Wuwei City was nowhere to be seen.

Elder Liu's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "General Wu, are you sure?"

General Wu said in a deep voice, "It's confirmed, this is the place. Look at the map, the surrounding terrain is exactly the same as here, so Wuwei City is here. The enemy used an illusion formation."

Upon hearing General Wu's words, Elder Liu's expression changed. He glanced around and then said in a deep voice, "Then let's attack. That way we'll know if there's an illusion array here."

General Wu nodded. Just as he was about to give the order, countless magical artifacts suddenly appeared not far in front of them. These artifacts rushed straight towards General Wu and his men. General Wu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Watch out for the magical artifacts!"

In fact, even without his prompting, those people noticed the magical artifacts. They immediately took out their own artifacts and attacked the incoming ones, blocking them. General Wu and the other kingdom-level experts weren't idle either, because among the attacking artifacts were some kingdom-level weapons. Clearly, the opposing side also had kingdom-level experts; otherwise, they wouldn't have used such powerful artifacts. (End of Chapter)
