"Our race has been hiding, planning, and preparing for this moment for countless generations," said Wrath. "So, make sure everything proceeds smoothly."
Everyone listened as they were used to Wrath's grand speech.
"Who's territory did Di Tian and Wang Wei land on?"
"Di Tian is in my territory," replied Lust.
"I have Wang Wei," added Sloth.
"Yiu guys know the plan: avoid them at all costs."
"So, we will just let them slaughter our people?" countered Envy.
"Unless you have a way to deal with a Nine Extremity Foundation, what choice do you have?" asked Greed with a sneer.
"We are not letting them wantonly slaughter," explained Wrath. "We will use the practice tactics to make things difficult for them and limit their accomplishment. Our objective is for them to leave after accomplishing their goal with the minimum requirement.
"If any of you directly confront any of these two, the result will only be your pointless death."
"That's fair," acknowledged Envy.
"What about the other Ultimate Kings? What do we do with them?" asked Pride.
"With enough planning, we can deal with them, but be extremely cautious," replied Wrath. "However, stay away from Yi Lianxing: give him the same treatment as the two Supreme Kings."
"Him? Our information did not indicate anything special about him. Even his strength seemed ordinary."
"Just know his secret is enough to warrant this level of caution."
The others gave Wrath a look and agreed.
"What about Mo Xingyun? According to our predictions, as an anomaly, she was supposed to be an Ultimate King?"
"The recent information is that she has some conflict with Wang Wei and has to use a puppet to attend to the Clean Up," explained Pride.
"She's in my territory; how do I deal with her?" asked Gluttony.
"Use your troops to eliminate her puppet body and her troops," ordered Wrath.
"As you wish."
"We will regroup if something unexpected changes," declared Wrath before dismissing everybody. "Hopefully, the plan goes smoothly."
Lust Territory, a magnificent palace:
A beautiful woman dressed in a black hanfu with braided hair suddenly opened her eyes. She looked indistinguishable from a human except for her very long nails, which were at least 10 cm and very sharp.
She gently picked two pictures: Di Tian and Wang Wei.
"I finally have a chance to surpass Wrath. How can I give up so easily?" Many things flashed in her mind before putting Di Tian's picture away and holding Wang Wei: "He seems the easiest target of the two: so let's begin with him."
'An Overlord? Nine Extremity Foundation? A Son Era?' Lust sneered. 'Every man has a weakness, and yours happen to be your family.' She then left the palace to prepare.
Sloth Territory:
The group sat in a tent with a table and a map in the middle, looking at a rendition of the city.
"What's the best method to attack the city?" asked Wang Wei.
"A direct attack would result in too many casualties since our enemy is ready," commented Tie Gang before pointing to a spot. "And it does not help there is only one gate for the entire city."
"Although that's bad, it will become our advantage if we can take down the city," commented Li Jun. "Another problem is the City Formation, making things even harder."
"I worry the people will burn the food and destroy the resources once it appears we're about to conquer the city," added Yan Liling.
"Can we siege the city and starve the people inside?" suggested Tie Gang.
"Our logistics won't last for that long," Yan Liling shook his head.
"We don't have a calvary yet, so this limit our options," said Li Jun. He then looked at Wang Ju: "Have your scouts found a group of demonic beasts yet?"
"No, we only find a few beasts, but they are not suitable for war."
Li Jun touched his forehead, "The best option might be to use the advantage of the undying army to break the city gate forcefully."
The city is protected by a powerful formation that can block the three Generals for a relatively long time–even if they use their Immortal Strength–limiting the use of brute force in this scenario.
"Use the Array Virus," said Wang Wei.
"Array Virus?" Li Jun's eyes lit up. "You want the Fate Shadow Guard to infiltrate the City Array with the Virus, deactivate it from the inside and even open the gate from the inside?"
"Yes."
Many years ago, Wang Wei theorized. Arrays were similar to computer programs that worked in reality. So, he invented a prototype of a hacking virus for Arrays and tested it during the Heaven Chosen Selection Trial in the Academy. After so many years, this thing has been perfected.
"The City Formation is only Quasi-Emperor Tier, and the only reason for its power is because it's part of a bigger formation," Yan Liling explained. "However, I did not bring one with me. And it would take some time to make one."
"The Array Virus is now a standard equipment of the Fate Shadow Guard, so we brought some," reported Wang Ju.
"Excellent," uttered Li Jun. "Let's plan the attack for tomorrow night."
Everyone left to prepare for the battle except Wang Wei; he was useless unless a [King] showed up. So, he closed his eyes to cultivate. After calming down and analyzing the situation, he realized this place was an excellent opportunity for him to study Order-Disorder Dao, and Heavenly Dao itself would be his teacher.
By studying this game and the application of Order Dao, he can learn the hidden rules and secrets and dramatically increase his understanding of Fate–not just Order, but also fate.
The night, the troops gathered outside the White Fang City, alarming the Wall Soldiers.
"How many people do we kill after breaking the gate?" asked Tie Gang, sitting on the two horses they could find.
"We will kill 80% and leave the rest for resources farming."
"Alright."
"Archer Squad," roared Li Jun, and a group of individuals in his and Tie Gang's legion prepared their bows and arrows. Li Jun trained these squads by creating a scripture called [Military Archery Art] based on the Weapon Law part of his Slaughter Dao.
The power of Law manifested on all these archers, indicating they were all in the Void Shattering Realm. Li Jun sensed the devastating power of his man and smiled. He had to rely on Time Formation and the Dao Seed Pond to cultivate these men.
The Dao Seed Pond is one of the foundation secret realms of the sect. Whenever a Void Shattering Realm cultivator or above dies, they would condense a Dao Seed to leave in the pond–even sealed individuals would do the same after. Then, future generations can use these seeds to comprehend the law.
However, this feature is not why the pond is so valuable to the sect. Its value came from the fact the sect can choose people to inherit these seeds and the power of the person who condensed it. The only drawback is that a person will forever stay in the realm of whoever seed they inherited.
Most, if not all, Emperor Lineage has something similar. And this pond is why ancient sects from the Ancient Emperor Era have such a deep foundation. The amount of Tier 7 and above cultivators they have cultivated since ancient times is astronomical.
"Fire!"
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Arrows descended on the wall, covering the sky like a plague of rats. The City Formation activated and created a protective barrier over the entire city.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The barrier trembled, and the heart of the soldiers in the wall followed it. Luckily, nothing happened, boosting their confidence. The City Guardian began to yell for his archers to return fire. Unfortunately, he soon discovered his enemy outclassed him in skill since none of his arrows could reach the enemy.
The Archer Squad would fire two arrows for every arrow the Wall Archers fired. One to counter them and the other to cause damage to the formation and city wall.
The attack continued for half an hour when Li Jun received a message from Wang Ju. 'Alright, let's put more pressure on them and force them to focus on us.'
He raised his hand to condense a spear and throw it. A blood-red light cut through the night sky, eliciting deep fear in these soldiers' hearts. Luckily, the formation protected them.
"The space had no change," muttered Li Jun before continuing his attack. And this time, it was a barrage instead of just one attack. Meanwhile, Tie Gang looked at him with envy of his strength.
He practiced the Eight Heterogeneity Foundation; the sect gave him all the resources he needed for his clones. Unfortunately, he failed in the last process of fusion, almost dying in the process.
So now, he has to use a special pill refined by Yan Liling and a secret technique to temporarily fuse and use Immortal Venerable strength.
Suddenly, he noticed the city's protective barrier flickered before disappearing, and his eyes lit up. Li Jun did not waste time and threw a spear that blew the city gate open.
"Charge," he roared, and Tie Gang followed.
