I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2116 Conflict
With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the withered plants seemed to be reborn and began to grow wildly. On the ground, tender green grass sprouted from the cracked soil. Vines quickly climbed along the ruins, with lush branches and leaves, and even bright flowers. The branches of the trees also became thick and strong in just a few days, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and blocking the sun. The entire ruins seemed to have turned into a vibrant oasis.

The people in the dungeon stood in the middle of the ruins, staring at all this in amazement. They had never imagined that this land, once shrouded in death and darkness, could undergo such a huge change in such a short period of time. Some people reached out to touch the newly grown plants, feeling their vigorous vitality, their eyes filled with wonder and awe.

"This...was this done by that person?" someone asked in a low voice with a hint of trembling in his voice.

"Who else could it be except him?" another person muttered to himself, his eyes still fixed on the wildly growing plants.

They were filled with gratitude and awe for Liu Jun. Liu Jun not only saved their lives, but also created a new living environment for them. Although they still faced many unknown challenges, at least they no longer had to worry about being corroded by the black energy, nor did they have to endure the torture of hunger and fear.

They saw hope in this rejuvenated land. Perhaps they could rebuild their homes and start a new life here. And those wildly growing plants would become an important resource for their future survival.

"He must be an important person, just follow him." One of them whispered, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

The person next to him nodded, but with a hint of regret on his face: "Yeah, it's a pity that the opportunity was missed."

At this moment, the ground shook slightly. At first, it was just a barely perceptible tremor, but as time went on, the shaking became stronger and stronger, as if the earth was shaking. Then, a rumbling sound came from a distance, like a thousand troops galloping, shaking people uneasy.

"Hurry, hide back in the dungeon, those ancient demons from outside the domain must have come back again!" One of them's face suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with fear and panic.

As he shouted, he quickly turned around and ran towards the dungeon. Others also reacted and followed him, hastily hiding in the depths of the dungeon, fearing that they would be affected by the unknown force.

However, the people who came were not the ancient demons from outside the domain as they imagined, but the Fiery Army and the Extreme Fire Army from the Heavenly Fire Divine Domain. After a period of rest, these two armies had made up for the casualties and were in high spirits and well-equipped.

Their goal this time was clear - to capture all the cities in the Platinum Divine Realm and expand the territory of the Skyfire Divine Realm. Behind them, there was an army of more than two million soldiers from the Skyfire Divine Realm, marching in a mighty and imposing manner.

"Hey? There seems to be the presence of Liu Jun here?" Tiger rode a ferocious beast and rushed to the forefront of the Fiery Army.

After entering the city, he suddenly pulled the reins, and the beast let out a low growl and stopped. The tiger's nose twitched slightly, and it sniffed the air carefully, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

It goes without saying how important Liu Jun is to the Skyfire Divine Realm. However, recently, he mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Although Wu Rendi said that Liu Jun had something to do and was temporarily out of contact, it does not mean that they are not anxious.

As the vanguard general of the Fiery Army, Lao Hu paid special attention to Liu Jun's whereabouts, because he knew that Liu Jun's presence might have a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

"Pass the order down, search the city carefully, and make sure to find Liu Jun's trace!" Tiger ordered in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his voice. The soldiers acted quickly and began to conduct a carpet search in the city.

At the same time, those hiding in the dungeon also heard the noise outside. They held their breath and dared not make any sound, for fear of being discovered. However, their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness.

They had already passed through the air vents in the dungeon and saw the flags of the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Army outside.

Although they were not ferocious ancient demons from outside the domain, which made them feel slightly relieved, these were enemy troops. Who knew what would happen if they were caught by the enemy?

"What should we do?" one of them asked in a low voice with a hint of trembling in his voice.

The other person was silent for a moment, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If all else fails, we'll have to fight them."

The atmosphere in the dungeon became tense and solemn, and everyone was thinking about their next move. Outside, the Fiery Army and the Extreme Fire Army were like an unstoppable torrent, sweeping across the city, looking for their target.

Soon, the soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Fire Army discovered this hidden dungeon. The entrance to the dungeon was covered in blood, and several fresh corpses were lying on the ground, which was particularly eye-catching.

The corpses that had been sucked of flesh and soul by the ancient demons from outside the domain would never be like this, they would turn into mummies. So when the ancient demons invaded, anyone captured by them would eventually turn into mummies, but here, it was very abnormal.

"Go, call General Hu Xianfeng over and tell him there's something going on here." A centurion of the Jihuo Army frowned and gave orders to his men. He knew very well that the appearance of these mummies was not accidental, and there was a high possibility that there were still living people in the dungeon.

Not long after, Tiger arrived at the scene riding on the mighty beast. His eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the tragic scene at the entrance of the dungeon, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"General, there's something going on in this dungeon. There should be people alive inside, but the door is locked and we can't open it." The centurion stepped forward to report, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Tiger narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and decisively ordered: "Everyone retreat 500 meters and bring a sky rocket over."

"Charge, the cannon?" Upon hearing this, the centurion gasped, and a picture instantly appeared in his mind. This cannon was the most powerful siege weapon in their hands, with great power. Once used, the area within a radius of hundreds of meters would be reduced to ruins. The general actually wanted to use it to blast open the door of the dungeon?

"General, is this... too risky?" the centurion asked hesitantly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

This city has been badly invaded by ancient demons from outside the domain. The people in this dungeon are probably the only living ones left here. It would be a bit cruel to kill them with one cannon shot.

Tiger sneered, his voice low and cold: "Risk? How about you try to open the door?"

In this situation, the possibility that there is an enemy rather than a friend behind the door is much greater. If a group of people go up and try their best to open the door, if the person inside takes this opportunity to attack them, there would be no telling how many casualties there would be.

The centurion was shocked when he heard this and dared not say anything more. He immediately turned around, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and shouted, "Push the rocket over here!"

The soldiers moved quickly, pushing the huge cannon slowly forward. The heavy cannon and the wheels rolling over the ground made a dull sound, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm.

The people in the dungeon saw the sky rockets pushed in by the soldiers in the distance through the air vents and were stunned. In the dim dungeon, the weak light came in through the air vents, reflecting their terrified faces.

"This, this thing is a cannon, right?" One person said tremblingly, with undisguised fear in his voice. He grasped the iron railings tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

"And judging from the caliber, it looks like a rocket." The other man was also knowledgeable and recognized this weapon with great destructive power. There was a trace of despair in his eyes, as if he had seen the impending destruction.

"We just don't want to open the door for them, so why do we have to bombard them?" One person asked in confusion, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his voice. His eyes wandered around the dungeon, as if looking for a way to escape.

"Is he trying to scare us?" another person analyzed, trying to suppress his inner fear with reason. Although his voice was calm, beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

"Not likely, because we're going to light a fire." One person whispered, staring at the gradually burning fire in the distance. His heartbeat quickened, and his breathing became rapid, as if he had already sensed the approach of death.

"Run!" Someone shouted, and the dungeon was in chaos. People rushed to the other end of the dungeon, trying to find a chance to escape. However, the dungeon was solid, and the only exit had been blocked by themselves. Their struggle seemed so powerless.

At the same time, the muzzle of the cannon was already pointed in the direction of the dungeon. The soldiers were busy lighting the fuse. The fire flickered at the muzzle, like a giant beast about to open its bloody mouth.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the sky rocket was fired. The shell cut through the sky, carrying the power of destruction, and headed straight for the dungeon.

Before the people in the dungeon could react, they were knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave. The stone wall collapsed in an instant, dust flew, and flames rose up.

Not to mention the dungeon gate, there isn't even a complete piece of stone left.

The centurion stood in the distance and witnessed all this. There was no expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. However, a complex emotion arose in his heart, and he didn't know if there were any innocent people among them.

Tiger stood aside, his eyes grim, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was satisfied with everything. He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to continue moving forward. The battle had just begun.

In the ruins of the dungeon, the survivors struggled to get up, covered in dust, their eyes filled with despair and anger. They knew that this battle was inevitable, and they had to fight for their own survival.

"We can't just sit there and wait to die!" One person roared, his voice full of determination. He picked up a knife from the ground, held it tightly in his hand, and looked firmly at the soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Army in the distance.

"Yes! We will fight!" another person echoed, his voice full of fighting spirit. Although they were in a desperate situation, their desire to survive became stronger and stronger.

"Catch him alive!" Tiger ordered sternly, his voice echoing in the empty dungeon with unquestionable majesty.

Although this group of survivors of the dungeon were full of fighting spirit and had an unyielding light in their eyes, they were simply no match for the elite soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Army.

The soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army and the Fiery Army were well-trained and well-equipped, and every move they made was full of power and precision. Although the survivors tried their best, they seemed so powerless under the offensive of the Extreme Fire Army.

Even though the soldiers had shown mercy, within less than an incense stick of time, all the survivors were beaten black and blue and eventually pinned to the ground. Their breathing was rapid, their faces were full of pain and unwillingness, but their bodies could no longer move.

"If you have the guts, let me go and let's fight one on one," one of them shouted.

"Are you going to challenge us as a group? Or are you going to challenge you as a group?" one of the soldiers sneered.
