I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 630 The Long Line of Prison Vans Reappears
Dou Xuange and the remaining True Immortals and Void Immortals disregarded others, suddenly unleashing their immortal power, activating their immortal artifacts to force back their opponents, and stirring up a radiant light as they hastily fled towards the county city.

"Still want to leave?"

A cold glint flashed in Xingyi's eyes, her voice was as cold as frost, and she pointed her finger at the stream.

Instantly, the Earth God's tablet and the Water God's tablet soared into the sky, pulling the entire stream to swirl.

The raging torrent of water resembled a giant silver dragon soaring into the sky, roaring and stretching across the space between the heavens and the earth.

Xingyi walked through the air, her long hair flying. The mouth of the Taiyin Cold Bottle tilted, and the silver waterfall, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, connected with the dragon of the stream, forming a sealed road to the heavens.

"Where to go!"

Almost simultaneously, the six members of the Flame Feather Clan shouted, hovering high in the sky. Their bodies blazed with crimson light, transforming into rounds of fiery wheels like blazing suns, spewing flames and condensing into fire dragons that swept across the sky.

Water and fire, yin and yang, water and fire intertwined—

Two long dragons intertwined in the void, forming a massive Yin-Yang Water-Fire Heavenly Gang Formation, which suddenly sealed off the world, trapping the remnants of Dou's army within.

"Kill—Kill—!"

The remaining troops fought like trapped beasts, roaring and charging in all directions.

The army of the Earth Gods surrounded the battlefield from both inside and outside: soldiers inside were suppressing and fighting, while outside the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Heavenly Gang Formation was blocking the way. Scattered deserters were being knocked down one after another, and the battlefield was gradually closing in.

High in the distance, Dou Wujiu stood amidst the firelight, his gaze somber as he watched the desperate struggle of the remaining Dou family troops.

Even Dou Xuange was in grave danger under the combined attack of Xingyi and Yanling, one water and one fire.

His expression shifted between light and dark.

Several times he wanted to draw his sword to help, but whenever he looked up at the dark cloud that had already drifted to the horizon and was now just a black dot, the immortal power at his fingertips cooled down.

Xia Daoming's attitude is now crystal clear:
This battle began at Yujianqi and also ended at Yujianqi.

He let Dou Wujiu go without pursuing him; he also did not interfere in the battle between the two armies.

However, if Dou Wujiu does not know when to advance and retreat and dares to interfere, then this war will surely extend beyond Yujianzhi and burn directly to the Dou family mansion in the county town—a rage that even the Dou family mansion cannot withstand.

The strongest person in the Dou family was only a Seventh-Level True Immortal.

If we want to fight Xia Daoming to the death, we must ask our superior to descend and intervene.

However, the supplier is located in Langya County, which is a long way away. It would be very costly to ask them to come, and there are many unpredictable variables.

Xia Daoming's anger, along with the distant future, uncertainties, and costs of the upper family, represent a deep abyss that the Dou family dares not easily tread.

After a long silence, Dou Wujiu finally gritted his teeth, turned around with a livid face, and transformed into a streak of fire, disappearing into the sky without even retrieving the Flame Prison Blade.

"Dou Wujiu... he actually left, even abandoning his natal immortal artifact!"

"Hmph, so what if he doesn't leave? That man's attack just now almost sealed him away. If he insists on making a move, the flames of war will surely spread to the Dou family mansion in the county town!"

"Although this man is ruthless, he has a sense of justice. It's merciful that he didn't escalate the war. Otherwise, the scene from six hundred years ago, when the Bone Wolf Demon King caused chaos and turned the county city upside down, would probably be repeated!"

"Back then, the Bone Wolf Demon King was at the Ninth Realm, with many soldiers and generals under his command. This person, regardless of strength or the number of soldiers under his command, should be inferior to the Bone Wolf Demon King. It is wise of him not to escalate the situation. After all, according to legend, there is a high-level True Immortal living beneath the Azure Abyss in the center of the county city. If things get serious and a high-level True Immortal is provoked, that person may not be able to escape death."

"But regardless, the Dou family and other forces have suffered a great loss this time!"

"What will the various factions do next?"

"What else can they do? They'll most likely have to withdraw from the Six Directions Territory immediately, or wait for the Chief Earth's army to arrive at their doorstep?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple! Didn't Lord Si Tu send two letters of farewell? In the second letter, he demanded that they withdraw from the Six Directions Territory within a specified period, return the immortal mines they had acquired over the past two years, and offer apologies. Once the deadline has passed, are they even required to leave their people behind?"

"That was just a warning. If they know when to back down, that expert should know when to stop. Does he really intend to storm their mountain gate?"

"..."

The onlookers whispered amongst themselves, their eyes following the receding flames. Meanwhile, the remnants of Dou's army, seeing Dou Wujiu abandon them, completely collapsed in morale. Large numbers of men knelt and surrendered, too afraid to fight any longer.

Only Dou Xuange and other true immortals and illusory immortals remained unwilling to give up and fought desperately.

However, he was surrounded by a large army and bombarded by magical treasures like a river. Inside, Xingyi and Yanling led five True Immortals and two local deities to intercept and kill him repeatedly. In the end, Dou Xuange was powerless to turn the tide and was suppressed and captured.

The setting sun was like blood, and the wind whipped up the tattered flags.

Green Pool and Black Ridge stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, while Xingyi escorted the prisoners from the Dou family back to the Si Tu Temple.

Two months later, the long procession of prison carts pulled by oxen slowly moved along the riverbank once again.

The difference this time is that the defeated army of the Dou family, which has a greater reputation and stronger strength, is being escorted.

Countless people lined the road, burning incense and kneeling in worship, their eyes filled with awe and fervor.

The rear hall of the Situ Temple.

Xia Daoming sat upright, seemingly having forgotten the battle in the middle reaches of the Jian River.

Until two beams of light flew into the hall from the void, twisted and changed, revealing the figures of Xuanming Nuwa and Youming Yanjun.

"You've worked hard." Xia Daoming slowly opened his eyes, his tone indifferent.

"Serve the Lord!"

The two divine soldiers responded in unison, their figures gradually fading away and disappearing into Xia Daoming's chest.

Xingyi is his personal disciple, and Yanling and others are his first batch of loyal followers in the Immortal Realm. How could Xia Daoming really be at ease abandoning them?

He had already prepared a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances.

A moment later, Xingyi and Yanling returned to report.

"You did a great job." Xia Daoming nodded approvingly.

"It's all thanks to Master's power!"

"It's all thanks to your power, sir!"

The two agreed in unison, knelt on one knee, and dared not take credit.

Xia Daoming smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up.

"Master, you personally took action in this battle, forcing Dou Wujiu to flee in disarray with a single move, which has shaken Biyuan County. This disciple suspects that the other forces will take the initiative to withdraw from the Six Directions of the Land, no longer daring to covet the immortal mines," Xingyi said respectfully.

"They come and go as they please. What do they take our Six Directions Land for? Their backyard?" Xia Daoming's voice was cold, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Xingyi and Yanling were both shocked.

“A person without authority cannot establish trust, and a person without trust cannot exert authority. We have already made our promises twice, and they do not cherish them. Therefore, we must keep them here and offer up all the gains they have made over the years as an apology,” Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"This... Master means to intercept them? But with our forces, we can probably only manage to stop one family at most, unless Master personally intervenes. However, given Master's current status, personally intervening might be beneath your dignity." Xingyi's heart trembled again as she cautiously inquired.

“They are scattered in various places. If they intend to retreat, it will be too late for you to raise troops now.” Xia Daoming shook his head, his gaze deep.

"Then... what are your plans, Master?"

"Write another letter, reminding them of what I said in the first two letters. If they are still stubborn, then don't blame me for personally visiting them."

Xia Daoming's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

In order to have a peaceful environment for spiritual practice, he did not want to escalate the situation, but he would not tolerate anyone treating the Temple of the Earth God and his warnings as a joke.

　That concludes today's update.
