Night falls.

Thunder rumbled through the clouds, and the raindrops suddenly became denser.

Under the cover of night and the sound of rain, at the border of the Star Luo Empire, an army clad in armor and armed with weapons emerged from the city and, led by the Star Luo Emperor, headed towards Jialing Pass.

"Your Majesty, the people in Jialing Pass will never have expected that we would attack the city in the rain. Caught off guard, we have a high chance of taking Jialing Pass directly."

The Great General of the Star Luo Empire arrived beside the Star Luo Emperor.

"You will be in charge from now on."

Emperor Xingluo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

As they continued their journey, when they were still some distance from Jialing Pass, the general made a gesture, and the army behind him moved quietly toward Jialing Pass.

The sounds of their movements were completely drowned out by the sound of the rain.

On the city wall of Jialing Pass.

The Knights Templar, belonging to the Spirit Hall, are falling one after another on the city wall, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded with sentries every three steps and patrols every five steps.

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in mid-air, briefly illuminating the surroundings.

One of the responsible knights happened to glance down at Jialing Pass.

In the brief flash of light, he vaguely saw what appeared to be figures moving below.

"alert."

The Templar Knight stopped in his tracks and gently raised his hand.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the soldiers on the city wall began to skillfully draw their bows and nock their arrows, aiming at the darkness below.

The Templar Knights, meanwhile, came to the city wall and stared intently ahead.

Upon confirming that an army was indeed moving toward Jialing Pass, the Templars revealed a barely perceptible smile.

"Go and report to the young lady that there has been an enemy attack."

"Go and wake up all the Templar Knights and bring over all the Soul Guidance Cannons."

"Go and tell the soldiers in the city to prepare for battle."

One command after another came from the Templar Knights.

After giving all the instructions, the Templar Knights quietly observed the situation below.

Before long, the Templar Knights, equipped with soul-guided cannons, arrived one by one on the city wall of Jialing Pass, ready to fight at any time.

The soldiers, in neat formation, also came to the city wall, ready for battle.

Gradually, the Star Luo Empire's army entered the attack range, and the Templar Knights standing by the city wall made a gesture.

"Let them see what it means for times to have changed."

As soon as the words were spoken, the soul-guided cannons placed on the city wall were launched towards the Star Luo Empire's army under the control of the operators. In an instant, there was a continuous roar, and many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were blown away, while those who were close by were instantly turned into blood mist.

"what?"

Emperor Xingluo looked at the situation in the army, then at the Grand General, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

He could understand being discovered midway, and he had already prepared for a strong attack on Jialing Pass, but was this situation right?
Even if it enters the attack range, shouldn't it be something other than a bow and arrow?

But what is it that will explode?
Be stunned for a moment.

Emperor Xingluo immediately realized what was happening. Looking at Jialing Pass ahead, he gave an order and led the charge.

As for the Great General of the Star Luo Empire, he stayed behind to command the soldiers in the siege.

Just as Emperor Xingluo led his men to the foot of Jialing Pass, arrows began to fly down from the city wall, whistling through the air as they struck the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire.

Shouts of battle filled the air.

Emperor Xingluo released his martial spirit, his body flashing with nine spirit rings. He soared into the air, braving the incoming arrows, and headed towards the city wall of Jialing Pass. But just as he reached the sky above the city wall, Emperor Xingluo saw Ye Xi's figure appear on the city wall.

Ye Xi held a drink in her hand, her azure eyes fixed on the Star Luo Emperor in mid-air, her expression utterly calm.

Ling Yuan held an umbrella and stood behind Ye Xi to shield her from the rain.

Behind Ling Yuan stood four Title Douluos: Gui Mei, Yue Guan, She Long, and Ci Xue, along with three Elders: Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo. The two sides stared at each other for a moment.

Ghost, Moon Pass, She Long, and Thorn Blood released their respective martial spirits and headed towards the Star Luo Emperor.

"What level is it?"

"He's actually standing taller than me."

Ye Xi glanced at the Star Luo Emperor and took a sip of his drink without a care.

After scanning the scene and seeing that the army and the knights of the Templar Order were guarding the city in an orderly manner under the command of the Templars, Ye Xi showed no intention of giving any orders.

After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Lingyuan, why don't you go and help too?"

Ye Xi took the umbrella from Ling Yuan's hand and quietly watched the battle unfold before him.

After Ling Yuan went to help, Guang Ling also came to the city wall, released his martial soul, Guang Ling Divine Bow, drew back the bowstring, and shot out arrows formed from soul power.

The arrows fired by Guangling didn't need to be aimed at all; each arrow pierced through the bodies of more than a dozen people.

Blood mingled with the rain, spilling onto the earth.

Before long, the earth was dyed red.

Corpses lay in pools of blood, and even with the rain washing them away, the stench of blood still lingered.

"How is it going."

Hu Liena jogged over to Ye Xi's side and looked down at the city wall.

"We're defending the city, so our situation is naturally better."

Ye Xi spoke in a very calm tone.

According to her observations, their current casualty ratio is approximately one to thirty.

On the Star Luo Empire's side, under a relentless attack regardless of cost, it would take the lives of about twenty or thirty people to exchange for a single soldier on the city wall.

"There is limited space on the city wall."

"Why don't I lead my Soul Master army out of the city and fight them?"

"Don't worry, the Star Luo Empire's army will definitely not be able to break in."

Hu Liena glanced at the city wall, somewhat eager to try.

"No need. If they want to attack the city, let them attack."

"The advantage lies with us. Even if the Star Luo Emperor wipes out all his troops, he still won't be able to take Jialing Pass."

"Since we're not going to lose anyway, we should naturally minimize our losses."

Ye Xi handed the umbrella to Hu Liena, and the Ten-Winged Killing Angel Martial Soul appeared behind her, with eight soul rings flashing continuously on her body.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body".

"Sixth Soul Skill: Ice Sword Judgment".

A colossal angelic phantom appeared in mid-air, its black wings flapping as ice swords emanating a chilling aura materialized and hurled towards the Star Luo Empire's army.

As the ice sword continued to fall, crimson blood splattered into the air.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled my nostrils.

The figure of the Star Luo Emperor fell from mid-air and crashed heavily into the blood.

"Hold them off!"

Emperor Xingluo rolled several times on the ground and entered the army.

Ghost and Bloodthirst were the first to charge into the army, heading towards Emperor Xingluo.
