C370 method of breaking down a city
After leaving nearly three hundred formation masters to set up the formation, Su Jue led the huge army and rushed to the imperial city.
At night, they arrived at the main gate of the imperial city.
The four great legions of over a hundred thousand people began to set up camp.
In the imperial city, it was easy to defend, but hard to attack.
Inside the pavilion, Su Jue sat at the seat of honor with Yue Feiyun and the rest below him.
"An attack with force is definitely not possible. The imperial city has a large defensive formation called the Star Dou Qi Formation. It's almost impossible to break it apart by relying on our power." Yue Feiyun said.
"Who is in control of this great formation?" Xiao Qianjue asked.
"Of course it's that Ye Wuya." Yue Feiyun said.
Su Jue nodded his head and said immediately: "It's impossible for the big formation to break from the outside, but we can break it from the inside. Right now, the method we need to think of is to think of a way to enter the imperial city."
Yue Feiyun thought for a while, then became happy: "Su Jue, can your Earth Escape Technique enter inside the city?"
"That's fine. Even if there's a formation underground, I still have a way to enter. But even if I enter the capital by myself, it will still be useless." Su Jue shook his head.
"In that case, I have a plan."
As Yue Feiyun spoke, he suddenly stood up and took out a map. He pointed to a spot on the map and said, "This is the Divine General's Estate. A few years ago, I dug a secret room under the Divine General's Estate for my own cultivation.
"Soldier's flag!"
Zhou Wuhen was startled, and immediately said: "I remember the military flag is at the mountain behind the imperial city, and it is less than three kilometers away from the array formation."
"That's right, and I secretly left a gap in the formation back then, but I need to enter the inner circle to open it, so …"
"So you want me to enter the underground area of the Divine General's Estate to open up a crack before digging a tunnel to come in?" Su Jue laughed.
"That's right."
Yue Feiyun laughed, and continued speaking.
"The Grand Astral Formation is based on the number of Earth Fiend. As long as we have 72 formation masters, we can break this formation. At that time, the army will directly enter the imperial city and kill them all."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
"Reporting to the marshal, there's movement in front of the imperial city's gates."
Just then, Jing Wei suddenly entered the handsome tent.
Everyone was puzzled as they filed out of the camp and looked towards the imperial city's gate.
At this moment, a corpse was hanging in front of the gate. Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it was likely that it had been dead for a long time.
"It's Emissary Xiang!"
Tang Zhitian sighed.
Su Jue's expression turned cold, he had a good impression of the Emperor, he was extremely loyal and had a proud character.
However, such a person had actually died.
"Old Xiang is probably the only person in the capital who hasn't been bribed by the Ye Family. I never thought that he would end up like this. This grudge must be avenged!" Yue Feiyun said with a gloomy face.
"Marshal, we just received news that the envoy from the Emperor was killed by the newly appointed Palace Master of the female emperor's palace, Xu Yourong." Jing Wei walked to Su Jue's side and said.
"Xu Yourong." Su Jue frowned, then looked at the rest of the people and said: "This matter can't be delayed, I'm going to the Palace to take a look, wait at the back of the mountain."
"Alright." Yue Feiyun said and then left.
At the same time, Su Jue found a remote area, took out his Thick Earth Magic Flame Bell and entered underground.
Just as he thought, there was a formation underground as well.
However, the Thick Earth Magic Flame Bell also had a stronger ability to pass through the array after leveling up.
However, in the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he passed through the formation and entered the imperial capital.
The city was extremely quiet, and there was no sign of the bustling scene from before.
Su Jue took the small path and rushed towards the direction of the Divine General's Estate's army headquarters.
After sinking into the soldier leader's territory, Su Jue had indeed discovered the secret room that Yue Feiyun had mentioned.
At the end of the room, there was a stone sculpture.
There was a faint starlight flashing around the sculpture. Clearly, this was the gap in the formation.
According to what Yue Feiyun said, Su Jue slowly turned the stone sculpture, and following that, a huge door opened.
Su Jue was ecstatic, he anxiously entered the door and walked all the way until the end before escaping.
Stepping out of the ground, Zhang Xuan saw a forest of ancient trees, and not too far away, there were several flickering flames.
"Su Jue, you succeeded?" It was Yue Feiyun. Other than him, there were also a few Beast Face Legion warriors.
"Success." Su Jue said.
"Alright, the spirit beasts that I have brought with me all excel at digging underground tunnels. There are tunnels that they can tunnel into the imperial city in less than a day. However, we need to put out some smoke bombs first." Yue Feiyun said.
Su Jue nodded and smiled, he would leave it to Shentu Jun and the others.
Closing his mouth, Su Jue directly left and came to the agreement.
"Shentu Jun, tomorrow you will lead thirty thousand men to attack the imperial city, bring along a chariot and two battleships. You must let them know that we are attacking with all our might."
Shentu Jun nodded, and quickly passed down his orders.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Shentu Jun led his huge army and attacked the imperial city.
Although the defending army of the imperial city was less than fifty thousand, Shentu Jun's side still suffered a lot of casualties due to the advantage of the city and the great array's might.
In order to let the battle continue, Su Jue also asked Zhou Wuhen and Xiao Yun Feng to bring twenty thousand people each to help Shentu Jun.
On the other side, Yue Feiyun's beast face squad was also madly digging the tunnel.
At the same time, inside the imperial city, at the Ye family.
Ye Wuya sat on the seat of honor with a cold expression.
"Last night, I felt that there was something strange about the formation. I told you to go investigate it, did you guys find out?" Ye Wuya looked down at Dong Tianlong and the others and said:
"Elder Ye, we did investigate, but we did not find anything, I think it was not done by Su Jue." Dong Tianlong said.
"No?" This Su Jue cannot be underestimated, have you guys not learned your lesson and continued to investigate? " Ye Wuya scolded.
Dong Tianlong nodded, and then left the hall.
After Dong Tianlong left, Ye Chen frowned: "Seeing the attacks outside the city, this Su Jue probably can't think of any other way, if not, this kind of fighting style that isn't good enough to lose is definitely not his style."
"This is precisely the problem, since it is not his style, he did it uncharacteristically, there must be a reason behind it. Now that our plan has not been completed, the spirit vein is still in the hands of the female emperor, and we cannot allow Su Jue and the rest to enter within a month." Ye Wuya said coldly.
"One month. I don't think it'll be a problem at all, but can you be sure of who the Empress is?" Ye Chen asked.
"Hmph. That woman is already different from the past and she is not my opponent. The only trouble is the Guardian Formation in his palace. Without a month's time, it will absolutely not be broken."
"That's true. If the female emperor was truly as strong as she was back then, how could she have stayed in her own palace and not come out?"
"Hmph. She won't be able to live for long. If she dares to betray that person, the only path for her is death."
Just as Ye Wuya finished speaking about that, Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted as his eyes revealed a strong sense of fear.
Night quietly descended.
The great battle outside the city had finally come to an end.
This battle could be said to be extremely tragic. Both sides suffered great casualties, and Su Jue's side had lost at least ten thousand people.
But it was also because of the fierce attacks of Shentu Jun and the others, that caused a large portion of the capital's combat power to be gathered at the city gates.
"Marshal, the passageway over there has been opened." At this time, Jing Wei came over to Su Jue's side and said.
Su Jue was overjoyed. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Send a message to Xiao Qianjue, let him take charge of the camp. As for the rest of the Star Treading Realm warriors, gather at the entrance of the mountain."
With that said, Su Jue immediately escaped and entered the forest.
"Su Jue, I have already transferred the seventy-two top-notch formation masters from the Sky Corpse pit. They are just waiting for your order." Yue Feiyun laughed.
Su Jue nodded, after waiting for fifteen minutes, everyone finally arrived.
"Everyone, listen carefully. This time, when we enter the capital, we will divide into seven or two teams. Your mission is to protect the array masters and break it."
Very quickly, everyone had separated into their teams, and with Su Jue leading, they entered the tunnel.
A group of five hundred people left the secret chamber one after another and immediately disappeared in all directions.
"I don't need to completely break through all 72 array bases. As long as I can break through half of them, then the great array will be useless. The chances of success are still very high." Hei Zuo said with a smile.
At this time, Yue Feiyun's eyes were filled with memories.
"It's been a hundred years, and I've finally returned here." Yue Feiyun sighed.
"We'll have to sigh later. We still have one more thing to do." Su Jue said.
Yue Feiyun laughed, then looked at Tang Zhitian and said: "I know, save Tang Qinghe!"
Tang Zhitian immediately cupped his hands: "I hope Marshal Yue can save my father."
Your father is my brother, so of course I have to go and save him. Yue Feiyun looked at Su Jue and said.
Su Jue laughed and said: "Before I came, I already received news about the fire. Now that Tang Qinghe's cultivation has been sealed up and he is in the Palace, we can go right now."
With that said, Su Jue stood up and rushed back to the palace.
The Palace of the Female Emperors was the final barrier in entering the palace. It was meant to be a guardian of the female emperors.1
But it had now become the Ye Family's territory.
