There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 625 Sweep
At the dock of an unnamed island in the waters south of Shang'an Prefecture, a team of Chu soldiers in light armor were registering the captured prisoners. In the distance, someone was cursing loudly next to the warehouse at the dock, because the warehouse was burned down to nothing before they landed.

From time to time, the sound of fighting could be heard from the depths of the island. In some deep alleys, there were still soldiers from Linshui Prefecture resisting. Suddenly, the shouting and killing became louder, causing the nearby soldiers to curse: "Those bastards, we'll skin them all and pull out their tendons when we catch them!"

The curse frightened the captives at the dock and caused the nearby soldiers to laugh. Soon one of the captives lost his mind and wanted to escape. His companions subconsciously wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

There is no doubt that the soldiers of Chu State deliberately allowed this to happen in order to vent their murderous intent. This kind of thing is most common in war. After all, war is accompanied by death, and death is accompanied by hatred. Every soldier of Chu State hated Linshui Prefecture to the core.

The escaped captives were hacked to death amid the grim laughter of several Chu soldiers, which naturally caused a riot among the captives, followed by a larger-scale killing. After the riot subsided, the officer came late and asked the reason, then said lightly: "When the speedboat carrying the captives docks, remember to clean the dock."

Then, the soldiers began to drive the captives to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, and the bodies of the killed captives were thrown directly into the deep pit next to them, which was already full of corpses. There were two Qigong practitioners setting up an altar nearby to absorb the spirituality of the corpses, which would be destroyed after the end.

"Om~"

Suddenly, a horn sounded in the sky, and a bright light rose above the watchtower of the dock that had just been occupied. There was a flag bearer there signaling, urging them to board the ship as soon as possible and continue to advance southward.

Afterwards, two teams of armored soldiers went ashore and took over the defense of the island from the sailors. The battleship sailors boarded the warships at the dock as quickly as possible, and then headed further south with the nearby warships.

Under the clouds covered by the lighting array, Min Yuyan looked at the fleet moving forward below with indifference, put away the communication jade card and said to the people around him: "Count the 'power pills' on you. We have to take over Anmu Island, the westernmost island of Linshui Prefecture, within half a month."

Anmu Island, a giant island in the southeastern sea island chain closest to the Zhongzhou mainland, is the most important strategic location under the Seventh Prince and a necessary supply point for attacking the Zhongzhou mainland.

"There are three-level monks stationed on Anmu Island. We..."

"This is a war for the divine weapon. Not to mention the third-level cultivators, even the second-level cultivators are not allowed to intervene!" Min Yuyan interrupted coldly: "Remember, the one fighting us is the local separatist regime in the southeastern sea area, not the Linshui Prefecture!"

Min Yuyan looked up at the dark night sky. She knew that her master wanted to force the other side to gather their main forces for a decisive battle when they did not have enough intelligence. Then they could use the "power pill" to decide the victory in one fell swoop.

However, the probability is very low, and it depends on the decision made by the opposing commander.

Anmu Island.

The island was named after the Anmu tree, which can be used to make calming incense and candles, and is loved by dignitaries. Even in a state of war, there is still a constant stream of merchant ships coming and going.

At this moment, there were cultivators constantly shuttling back and forth over the island, delivering battle reports from the front line to the top of a watchtower deep in the island, where a Qigong practitioner from Linshui Mansion was already waiting, and as soon as he got the battle report, he went to the dim room next to it.

This room was converted from an observation tower. The originally open windows around it were closed with wooden boards, so there was a strong scent of soothing incense as soon as one entered the room. Under the dim candlelight, Yue Ziyu sat cross-legged next to a coffee table, currently reading the previous intelligence.

Sitting opposite him was the same young water cultivator from last time. He looked at the Qigong practitioner who walked in, his eyes falling on the military newspaper in the practitioner's hand.

"Give it to me first!"

Upon hearing this, the Qigong practitioner first glanced at Yue Ziyu, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he did as he was told.

The young water cultivator flipped open the military report and read the contents of the report without the help of the candlelight beside him. Then he looked up at Yue Ziyu and said, "The front-line fleet was completely wiped out. The Chu fleet has captured our three supply islands on the front line and is still moving south." Yue Ziyu turned his head to look at the waiting Qigong practitioner and said, "What I want is a detailed military report. Capture those disciples who escaped and interrogate them. The more detailed the better!"

"Yes!"

The Qigong practitioner left the room as quickly as possible and closed the door.

The young water cultivator had a little nervousness in his eyes at this moment. After all, they had kept this operation a secret from the Seventh Prince. When he thought about it and was about to speak, Yue Ziyu said coldly: "Wait for the military report first. I need to know how the front line was defeated."

This wait lasted until daybreak, mainly because the disciples of Linshui Mansion on the front line were very scattered after their retreat, and only gathered on Anmu Island at daybreak, while the ordinary soldiers were blocked on the island and could not get out.

"Power pill?"

Yue Ziyu's face was full of confusion.

The monk from Linshui Prefecture who was being questioned added: "It's a very powerful 'Power Pill'!"

"How big can it be?"

"It can temporarily suppress incoming monks!"

"Just suppressing? Then why are you running? The logistics department has equipped you with a large number of Zhen Yuan Dan, as well as magic tools, talismans, and everything else!" The young water cultivator breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he scolded him sternly, "Who on the front line can stop them if you run away?"

The monk who was being questioned subconsciously wanted to argue a few words, but he was not a monk who faced the "power pill" directly, so he could not empathize with him, and swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Yue Ziyu waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

He spent the next half day questioning the disciples who retreated from the front line, and the answers he got were similar. The Chu fleet used a "power pill" that could suppress the incoming monks, and more than a dozen of them were killed in a mere moment.

"I think they are just scared out of their wits!" The young water cultivator looked at Yue Ziyu who was thinking and said, "However, this is also an opportunity. Since the main force of the Chu court is heading south, why don't we take advantage of their strategy, gather all the surrounding fleets to encircle and annihilate them, and then take down Changwen Mansion in one fell swoop."

He smiled and said in a tempting tone: "Changwen Mansion and Qianmu Temple are very close!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a communication token came in from outside and hovered in front of him, making him stunned for a moment. Then a communication token also appeared in front of Yue Ziyu.

The Third Prince’s fleet also launched a fierce attack last night!

The young water cultivator's eyes flashed, and all kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind. He looked at Yue Ziyu and said quickly: "Master, you have to make a decision quickly. Once the fleet of the Third Prince attacks us, we will not be able to mobilize the main fleet. If we fail in the war with the Chu court, you will not be able to have an easy time..."

This is a warning.
