I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 660 Rout
With a single slash, the ferocious bird let out a mournful cry and transformed into a bone fan, which then slid down into the ground.

Meanwhile, the Yan family patriarch, who was controlling the treasure not far away, coughed up blood and almost fell off the cloud.

Ji Wufeng, seizing the advantage, did not yield. His blade flashed again, tearing through the void with a whoosh, and with overwhelming killing intent, it struck the Yan family patriarch like lightning.

"Ninefold True Immortal!" The Yan family patriarch's expression changed drastically. He retreated while pointing at the fallen bone fan, which shot back into the sky, attempting to block the unstoppable horizontal blade.

Almost simultaneously, the other two Yan family patriarchs, seeing the situation was not good, hurriedly turned their magical treasures around to intercept Hengdao.

Just then, a giant flaming bird soared into the sky, its sharp fiery claws slashing down at the flaming sword. The two clashed in mid-air, locked in a stalemate.

At the same time, three golden-armored captains unleashed their magical treasures, surrounding and attacking the black flame mountain, trapping it in mid-air and preventing it from returning to its aid.

"when!"

He cleaved the bone fan away with his sword.

Then, with flashing sword light, they continued their attack on the Yan family patriarch.

"Protect the Ancestor!" Upon seeing this, the Yan family disciples who were following closely behind the Ancestor shouted loudly. The immortal treasures that were originally charging towards the army all changed direction to intercept Hengdao and buy some buffer time for the Yan family Ancestor.

At this moment, the Right Commandant's army had already sent out various magical treasures to entangle the magical treasures of the Yan family members.

The number of early and mid-level True Immortals in the Right Commandant's army was actually not inferior to that of the Yan family; the only difference was that the number of Seventh and Eighth-level True Immortals was much less than that of the Yan family.

Now, the Right Commandant not only has one Nine-Assembly True Immortal, but also four Seven-Assembly True Immortals and one Eight-Assembly True Immortal as an external aid.

The balance of power immediately reversed.

Meanwhile, the Yan family was completely unaware of this. Instead of relying on the strong defenses of their mountain gate, they were careless and underestimated the enemy, sending out their entire force in an attempt to crush the Right Commandant's army in one fell swoop.

This played right into Ji Wufeng's scheme.

Seeing that all the magical treasures of the Yan family disciples behind him were entangled, the Yan family patriarch finally showed a hint of panic and fled towards the mountain gate with his magical treasures in hand.

The difference between the Eighth and Ninth Stages may seem like just one stage, but this single stage bridges the gap between the intermediate and advanced levels, resulting in a huge difference in strength.

If the three True Immortals of the Yan family, all at the Eighth Assembly level, joined forces and relied on the mountain gate formation to defend themselves rigorously, they could still contend with Ji Wufeng.

Now, the three of them attacked carelessly, and two of them were entangled, leaving only the Yan family patriarch to face Ji Wufeng alone. Moreover, he was injured at the beginning due to carelessness, and only then did he realize that things were going badly and he might die if things went wrong.

"Where do you think you're going!" Ji Wufeng shouted upon seeing this, and his sword light suddenly intensified, tearing through the void at an even faster speed, and landing on the ball of light enveloping the Yan family patriarch.

"boom!"

The ball of light collapsed, leaving the Yan family patriarch standing alone beneath the blade.

"My lord, spare my life!" the Yan family patriarch cried out in terror.

The voice of the Yan family patriarch echoed in the air, and a cold light swept around his waist.

The patriarch of the Yan family was split in two, his blood splattering across the sky.

"Not good! Retreat to the mountain gate immediately!"

The other two Yan family elders looked panicked upon seeing this and shouted repeatedly.

"kill!"

Ji Wufeng roared and had already turned his blade to kill another Yan family patriarch!

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The Yan family's army arrived quickly, but retreated even faster.

Everyone rushed towards the mountain gate, and beams of precious light swept back and flew towards the mountain gate.

Only by returning to the mountain gate and relying on the protective array can the Yan family's legacy be preserved.

Unfortunately, one wrong step led to total defeat!
Beneath the Blazing Flame Ridge, corpses lay strewn across the land, and blood flowed like a river.

Only one patriarch of the Yan family remained, leading a group of Yan family members to escape back to the mountain gate.

The grand formation was activated, and the restrictive runes flashed across the mountain, protecting the ancestral land of the Yan family.

Outside the great formation, the Right Commandant's army completely surrounded the Yan family's ancestral land. Countless precious lights rained down on the great formation like a meteor shower.

The great formation shook, and the light of the runes scattered and kept extinguishing.

The formation was bound to be broken sooner or later.

All of this may seem complicated, but in reality, the Yan family's downfall happened in a very short time.

Even those watching the battle were still in shock, their minds buzzing, unable to process what was happening.

How did it become the Yan family's defeat?
Shouldn't it have been the Right Commandant's army that was completely surrounded, with only the remnants managing to break through the encirclement and retreat back to the city?
-
County town.

Inspector General's Office.

"Oh!"

"What? The Yan family suffered a crushing defeat, and now only remnants of their army are left to stubbornly resist with the mountain-protecting formation!"

The provincial inspector changed color in anger and slammed his fist on the table.

The large case was torn to pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.

"I've heard that Commander Ji has broken through to become a Ninth-Level True Immortal! Four of his five Golden-Armored Captains have advanced to the Seventh-Level Realm, and Patrol Officer Rong Yuan has also broken through, now becoming an Eighth-Level True Immortal. With their intentions aligned against the unprepared, the Yan family's defeat is inevitable. However, these things are no longer important. Your urgent task is to decide as soon as possible whether to intervene in the Yan family's affairs. I'm afraid that if we delay any longer, the Yan family's mountain gate will be breached!" the advisor said cautiously.

"The Yan family is considered a prominent family in Shayan County, with a long history and a wealth of cultivation resources. Moreover, Yuyan Ridge is not only rich in Earth Flame Soul Sand, but also has many medicinal mountains. Once Ji Wufeng seizes the Yan family, his capital for rise will inevitably be even stronger, making it even more difficult to contain him in the future," the Inspector General said with a gloomy expression.

"Does Your Excellency mean to order Commander Ji to immediately withdraw his troops back to the city and abandon the attack on Yan Family Mountain Gate? But Commander Ji is currently riding high on his momentum, and as a general in the field, he cannot disobey the emperor's orders. Unless Your Excellency goes there in person, I'm afraid he will not obey the order!" The advisor was slightly startled and whispered a reminder.

"Then I will personally go to Yuyan Mountain! If he obeys, fine; if he doesn't, then I will take the opportunity to suppress him!" The Inspector General's face turned ruthless as he spoke.

"My lord, what a brilliant plan! If Commander Ji obeys, the Yan family's predicament can be resolved, and the Yan family will surely submit to you completely from now on; if Commander Ji does not obey, my lord can take this opportunity to eliminate a potential threat!" the advisor flattered.

"Haha!" The Inspector General laughed triumphantly, his earlier shock and anger gone.
-
At Yuyan Ridge, the Yan family's protective formation was on the verge of collapse, and it seemed that it was about to be breached when suddenly dozens of golden lights pierced through the sky from the distant horizon.

As dozens of golden rays approached, an overwhelming force swept across the heavens and earth.

"The Inspector General has arrived! Commander Ji, why don't you stop immediately!"

A majestic voice, like rolling thunder, came.

"Haha! The Inspector General is here! Ji Wufeng, if you have the guts, keep attacking!" Inside the mountain-protecting formation, the last remaining patriarch of the Yan family laughed maniacally.

"What should we do now, sir?" Lieduo and the others came forward and asked in low voices, their expressions anxious and depressed.

Just when it seemed they were about to break through the enemy lines, the Provincial Surveillance Commandant suddenly appeared.

The Inspector General was not only Ji Wufeng's superior, but also reached the peak of the Tenth Stage of the Daoist Cultivation Realm.

Unless Lord Xia is willing to show himself, their captain will have no choice but to withdraw his troops as ordered.

Ji Wufeng's expression was very unpleasant.

What Liedo and the others could think of, he could naturally think of as well.

Xia Daoming, who was mixed in with the spectators, frowned slightly upon seeing this, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of showing himself in public and the consideration for his status as the Inspector General, he would have killed Ji Wufeng long ago if he dared to ruin Ji Wufeng's plans today.

Now, Xia Daoming can only watch from the sidelines!
Just as he was getting annoyed, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared on the Myriad Immortal Banner that was being nurtured in the Yellow Court.

"Huh!" Xia Daoming raised his eyebrows slightly, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"What perfect timing!"

Xia Daoming sighed inwardly, his lips already moving slightly.

Outside the mountain-protecting formation, Ji Wufeng, whose face had been pale, suddenly looked surprised and puzzled, but quickly turned to joy.

　That concludes today's update.
