As Ying Zheng and others issued their orders, the numerous figures within Hongmeng City began to withdraw one after another.

Soon, the entire Hongmeng City became a ghost town, with only Ying Zheng and other high-ranking officials remaining to see what the army sent by Liuli City would do next.

They didn't have to wait long before an army of hundreds of thousands, led by four Seven Star Divine Officers and the pale-faced, heavily injured Wu Yu, approached Hongmeng City.

Seeing these figures appear, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly: "It seems these guys have brought all the forces here, otherwise the Emerald Universe Civilization alone couldn't have assembled such a large army!"

"Yes, they've come out in full force, leaving us no way out!" Immortal Lord Hongluo said solemnly.

"In that case, let's go back. Don't worry, when we come back next time, we'll definitely build an even more magnificent Hongmeng City!" Ying Zheng promised, looking at the somber expressions on everyone's faces.

"That's right, temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter. We'll come back stronger one day!"

"..."

Afterwards, they left the Canglan Illusionary Realm directly. When Wu Yu and the others led their army to arrive, they only saw the silent Hongmeng City, where only corpses remained, and their expressions immediately turned grim.

At this moment, the four Seven Star Divine Officers arrived in front of Wu Yu. Looking at the scene before them, they had their own guesses: "It seems they have given up. Damn it, why didn't they fight to the end!"

Wu Yu's face grew increasingly pale as he said unwillingly, "That guy isn't that stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be living such a comfortable life and even receiving the protection of the Heavenly One Saint Lord. Everyone, destroy this city!"

At Wu Yu's command, the army of Emerald City surged forward like a tidal wave, using various means to destroy this magnificent city.

Watching Hongmeng City being destroyed step by step, they felt a sense of satisfaction, but when they thought of the military pledge they had made, their faces were filled with worry: "Now that they have abandoned Hongmeng City and preserved their fighting force, what are we going to do?"

"Leave some people here to wipe out all the online members of the Hongmeng Universe. As for Ying Zheng, I'll settle accounts with him after I recover from my injuries. Otherwise, you guys are no match for him. With the protection of the Heavenly One Saint Lord, it's not appropriate for us to openly cause him trouble!" Wu Yu said helplessly.

Although the others were somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to proceed with the plan.

At this moment, Ying Zheng in the Hongmeng Universe was also thinking about a way to break the deadlock. It was clear that acting in the same way as when he destroyed the Huoyu Universe Civilization last time would not work.

Although Wu Yu's strength has greatly declined, he is not someone that just anyone can kill.

Moreover, wanderers with strength reaching the eighth level of the cosmic level are already rare.

Even if Gu Yi intervenes, he probably won't find a ruthless person who would dare to destroy the Emerald Universe civilization at this critical juncture.

After all, beings at that level would definitely be monitored by ninth-level cosmic-level powerhouses if they entered the Canglan Universe.

At that time, before the Emerald Universe Civilization is even destroyed, he might be caught red-handed, and even the Heavenly Saint Lord wouldn't be able to protect him.

Therefore, the only option from now on is to wage guerrilla warfare within the Canglan Fantasy Realm, firing one shot and moving to another. As long as Emerald City dares to send people out, they will all be wiped out.

After finalizing the plan, Ying Zheng shared his idea with the Great Vajra Saint and others in the conference room, but it was met with unanimous opposition.

Immortal Venerable Hongluo said worriedly, "Ying Zheng, although you are indeed very strong, there are always stronger people out there. If they seize the opportunity to surround and attack you, it will be a real problem!"

"That's right, after all, that guy has four Seven Star Divine Enforcers helping him!"

"..."

"You don't need to worry about that. Even if they gang up on me, it won't work. You've all seen my strength. I can move freely even in an army of ten thousand, let alone fight a guerrilla war. Besides, do you have a better idea?" Ying Zheng asked the crowd in return.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, as they couldn't think of a better solution.

As for leaving the Canglan Illusionary Realm, that would be even more difficult to break the deadlock, after all, it is a level seven cosmic civilization, and it is quite famous in the entire Canglan universe.

“Then what about negotiating with them?” Mahadeva asked hesitantly.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Absolutely impossible. We are now mortal enemies!"

"Since that's the case, then we have no other choice. But Ying Zheng, you must be careful. You are our pillar now. If something happens to you, annihilation will be the only thing waiting for us!" Immortal Venerable Hongluo said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be careful. After all, I cherish my life!" Ying Zheng chuckled.

"..."

After finalizing this plan, Ying Zheng also sent people to the Canglan Illusionary Realm to investigate the situation.

The scouts reported that the entire Hongmeng City was now in ruins, with thousands of soldiers still guarding it. If it weren't for the special nature of his cultivation path, he would probably have been discovered long ago.

"Then let's act now. This is the time when they're off guard. Let's go back and catch them off guard!" Ying Zheng said confidently.

Then, he took out the Illusionary Spirit Pearl, and his figure disappeared into it.

The Great Vajra Saint and the others sighed helplessly: "Our strength is ultimately too weak, which is why we have dragged Ying Zheng down!"

"Yes! But improving your strength isn't that easy!"

Then, everyone present fell silent, their pride making it impossible for them to accept the fact that they were dragging the team down!

At this moment, Ying Zheng returned to the Canglan Illusionary Realm once again. His figure was hidden in the ruins, listening to the conversation of the soldiers stationed there.

"This task is so annoying!"

"That's right, if we just stay here and wait for those terrified people from the Hongmeng universe civilization to come online, the little bit of Canglan Points we earn won't even cover our daily expenses!"

"But there's nothing we can do; it's Lord Chernas's order!"

"I've heard that Lord Chernas is determined to cripple the Hongmeng Universe Civilization. He even wants to capture that guy named Ying Zheng!"

"But that guy won't fall into this trap so easily, after all, even Lord Wuyu suffered a loss at his hands!"

"Forget it, these big shots' affairs have nothing to do with us. We just need to do our patrols properly!"

"..."

Through their conversation, Ying Zheng gathered intelligence and roughly understood that the highest leader currently stationed here should be that guy named Chernas.

According to the intelligence we have, Chernas holds a position in the Emerald Universe civilization second only to Wuyu, and is the commander of one of the four major legions.

He is also a level seven powerhouse at the cosmic level, no wonder he has such great ambitions, wanting to wipe out the Hongmeng universe civilization in one fell swoop.

Ying Zheng scoffed, "Since that's the case, then I'll start with you!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng looked at the many divine artifacts in the Canglan Mall. His own divine artifact, the Vajra Breaking Formation Spear, was not suitable for assassination. Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the Shadow Blade. This dagger possessed characteristics such as bloodlust and concealment, as well as the unique skill Shadow Concealment, which allowed one to hide in the shadows. It was simply the most suitable divine artifact for assassination!
However, the Shadow Blade was expensive, costing 10,000 Azure Points. But Ying Zheng knew he would face many assassinations in the future, so he decided to buy it anyway!

With a flash of light, a dark dagger appeared in Ying Zheng's hand. The blade of the dagger was engraved with strange scarlet patterns, exuding a bloodthirsty nature.

At this moment, Ying Zheng silently approached the two soldiers, his figure lurking behind them like a ghost, the shadow blade in his hand lightly slicing across their necks.

The two patrolling soldiers only saw a black shadow flash before their eyes, and before they could even issue a warning, they were already dead, their blood absorbed by the Shadow Blade.

Ying Zheng collected the artifacts they had dropped, looked at the two or three items in his hand, and said with a sneer, "What a bunch of poor bastards. But even a mosquito's leg is meat, after all, I desperately need a large amount of Canglan Points right now!"

Afterwards, Ying Zheng disposed of the corpses and continued the hunt.

After all, the soldiers and junior officers guarding this place are only at the second or third level of the cosmic realm.

For Ying Zheng, assassinating them would be an incredibly easy task.

If it weren't for the presence of Chernas, a level 7 cosmic-level powerhouse stationed here, Ying Zheng would have already brazenly stormed in and wreaked havoc.

Although Ying Zheng's strength surpassed that of Chernas, the presence of thousands of soldiers in his way meant that even he would face some danger.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Ying Zheng carried out the assassination plan. As the moon rose higher, a faint smell of blood began to permeate the camp.

The once densely packed patrol teams gradually became sparse.

Chernas, who was stationed here, paced back and forth in his tent, a surge of emotion welling up inside him.

According to his plan, he would just wait for the people from the Hongmeng Universe to come online, then swarm them and take them down.

If given the opportunity, we should also try to capture Ying Zheng and other high-ranking figures from the Hongmeng universe civilization.

At that time, with this achievement, Chernas will definitely be able to surpass the other three generals and become a person second only to the emperor.

The Emerald Universe Civilization is a Level 7 civilization. While Level 7 civilizations are not numerous, they do exist.

At least within the Emerald Universe civilization, there are nearly ten individuals whose strength is comparable to that of Chernas.

At this moment, Chernas looked up at the top of the tent, his ambition growing ever stronger: "I hope the Azure Waves will protect me, and that brat Ying Zheng will come to me of his own accord!"

Just as Chernas was muttering to himself, he suddenly smelled the increasingly strong stench of blood in the air. His expression changed drastically, and a bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Men! Something's happened at the camp! Everyone, assemble here!"

The thunderous roar echoed throughout the area, and all the patrolling soldiers quickly converged on it.

At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was lurking in the shadows, was about to make his move when he noticed the sound and movement, and realized that his assassination plan had been exposed.

But it doesn't matter. In just this short time, he has already killed four or five hundred people. The number of people stationed here now is less than half of what it used to be.

"Now that we've been exposed, let's wipe them out before that guy Chernas arrives!"

Ying Zheng's Vajra Spear appeared in his hand. He no longer hid and charged into the gathering ranks like a ferocious beast.

With Ying Zheng's arrival, his bloodthirsty killing intent, like that of a demon god, erupted. The assembled people immediately exclaimed in alarm, "It's Ying Zheng! It's Ying Zheng from the Primordial Universe attacking! Quickly form a formation and raise your shields!"

This small team consisted of several dozen people. They hurriedly raised their heavy shields, but these shields were completely useless against Ying Zheng.

"boom!"

The heavy shields were like paper in front of the Vajra Breaking Formation Spear, easily pierced through. The spear swept to the left and right, and the dozens of people instantly cried out in agony as their figures were swept away.

The intense pain and terrifying force caused their chests to cave in, and several people died instantly from the sweeping force of the shot.

Fear filled the eyes of the injured: "This guy is a devil, I have to get out of here!"

Then, using the Illusionary Spirit Orb, their figures instantly disappeared from the Azure Illusionary Realm.

Ying Zheng didn't care about their departure. He knew that these seriously injured guys would definitely get worse after leaving the Canglan Illusionary Realm, which would damage their Dao foundation.

It would take hundreds of billions of years to recover, and even if it did recover, the damaged foundation could not be repaired without extremely precious treasures, making further progress virtually impossible.

As for the news leak attracting support from the Emerald Universe Civilization, Ying Zheng was not worried about that.

He couldn't possibly kill them all, and besides, this place is quite a distance from Emerald City; even if they came here, it would take them a long time.

By the time their reinforcements arrive, Ying Zheng will probably have already wiped them out and returned to the Hongmeng Universe.

Then, Ying Zheng continued his charge towards another group of people who had gathered.

The sounds of fighting on the battlefield and the terrified screams of the soldiers made Chernas in the tent immediately realize that Ying Zheng had appeared.

"This is utterly arrogant! Today I'll show you that there's always someone stronger!" Chernas roared menacingly, his face radiating bloodthirsty excitement.

He carried the bronze Moonbow on his back and the Purple Moon Sword at his waist. He rushed out of the tent like lightning, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and leaped onto the treetops, watching Ying Zheng's figure roaming freely on the battlefield.

"You will pay with your life for killing my soldiers!"

Chernas drew an arrow from his quiver, nocked it to his bronze crescent bow, and pulled the bowstring taut. The silver arrow, as radiant as moonlight, had a purple tip, clearly coated with deadly poison.

"Ying Zheng, die!"

As the low growl sounded, the long arrow shot out like lightning, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

"call out!"

A silver glint, accompanied by a purple arrow shadow, flew swiftly towards them. Even with Ying Zheng's current reaction speed, upon seeing the long arrow hurtling towards them, he could only hastily draw his Shadow Blade.

Holding the Shadow Blade, Ying Zheng flicked his arm, splitting the long arrow in two. The arrow grazed Ying Zheng as it fell to the ground and embedded itself deeply.

At this moment, Ying Zheng gazed into the distance at the tiny figure on the treetop. He knew that this was a master, and it must be Chernas, who was in charge of guarding this place.

If a level 7 powerhouse of the universe were to die here, even Wu Yu would probably be heartbroken.

After all, cultivating a level 7 powerhouse of the universe is by no means an easy task.

Moreover, being stationed here at this juncture, this person must be one of Wu Yu's trusted generals: "Since that's the case, then let's start by collecting some interest from you!" (End of Chapter)
