“Oh? The show is finally about to begin?”Seeing the quest prompt, Zhong Yi rubbed his hands together excitedly.The BGM immediately swelled, incredibly stirring.Zhong Yi suddenly recalled playing “Plants vs. Zombies” where a similar “A large wave of zombies is about to attack” prompt would appear during the final wave.“Heh heh, mere Demonic Path, bring [N O V E L I G H T] it on!”Zhong Yi vigorously swung his arms, beginning to frantically recruit various troop types.He had only recently started mining Profound Iron, so his Profound Iron resources were relatively scarce.Therefore, his army primarily consisted of Elementary forces.For Rank 2 troops, he chose to recruit as many Talisman Masters as possible.Because according to the description, Talisman Masters were ranged output characters.Cultivators who had played “Plants vs. Zombies” all knew that output was the key to victory.Zhong Yi’s Spirit Stones and Profound Iron were completely depleted, and a large force had gathered outside the Sect, looking quite impressive.“Ugh!”A scream suddenly came from afar.A red exclamation mark appeared on the mini-map.Your unit is under attack!Zhong Yi quickly dragged his view.Four Utility Disciples who were transporting Profound Iron had already turned into a pool of blood.The Demonic Path army was attacking Zhong Yi’s Lingxiao Sect.“Come on, defend the glory of the Righteous Path!”Zhong Yi roared, leading his troops out.The initial base location was a high position with steep mountains.A typical place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.Zhong Yi skillfully arranged his troops, placing the tough Body Cultivators in the front, and the Spirit Archers and Talisman Masters in a line at the back.Adding a Blazing Rhinoceros and two Spirit Cranes.This was Zhong Yi’s entire military force.“Mere one, two, three, four… huh?”Zhong Yi was about to utter some harsh words, but the more he counted on his fingers, the more he felt something was off.The Demonic Path’s forces seemed to be a little too numerous?More than twenty Scarlet Blood Puppets dripping with black-red viscous liquid, plus a dozen burly Yao Beasts, charged forward first.“Hiss—!”Zhong Yi gasped, beginning to operate frantically.The Demonic Path’s forces had a slight advantage, but he held the advantage of being on the defensive, barely able to hold them off.“These Scarlet Blood Puppets are so tanky, and they slow you down when you get close, but luckily they don’t do much damage…”“The Yao Beasts are the hardest to deal with! They must be Rank 2 forces!”“Fortunately, the Demonic Path doesn’t have many difficult ranged units…”Zhong Yi held his breath, analyzing the situation on the field.He had fewer troops on his side.But he held the terrain advantage, coupled with solid backline output, and for a while, he actually held a slight upper hand.“That’s not right, is it? If there are no ranged means, or means to deal with the backline, wouldn’t this War be too unbalanced?”Zhong Yi suddenly felt confused.Just then,Several shadows flashed past under his nose.Seven or eight figures of the Demonic Path suddenly appeared among his large army.“Holy crap! Assassins!!!”……The battle lasted for about half an hour.The sudden appearance of assassins, and Soul Summoners in the backline who could revive Scarlet Blood Puppets, completely disrupted the balance of this battle.Zhong Yi spared no expense to win this battle.He sold the Gathering Array.He sold the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.He also sold the Myriad Beast Garden.The Spirit Stones he acquired were used to hastily recruit Sword Cultivators to help deal with the assassins in the crowd.Even the Utility Disciples who were mining were summoned by him, raising their pickaxes to strike the assassins’ heads.He even considered whether he would have to sell the entire Sect if this still didn’t work out……After a fierce bloody battle.An arrow imbued with flame Spiritual Qi pierced the chest of the last Soul Summoner.Heaven and earth finally returned to peace.“It’s finally over…”Zhong Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead.In this battle, he suffered heavy losses.Of his buildings, only the dilapidated Sect base and the Martial Arts Hall remained.His entire military force was reduced to only two Spirit Archers and one Talisman Master.In War Mode, soldiers would increase their Rank after killing a certain number of units, with Rank 3 being the highest.At this time, the two Spirit Archers had advanced from Qi Refining to Golden Core, their arrows imbued with random attribute Spiritual Qi.The Talisman Master, on the other hand, had advanced from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul, and the Talismanic Incantations he cast went from single-target to small-area group damage.Zhong Yi looked at the three resilient soldiers, filled with mixed emotions: “It’s truly not easy to have survived. From now on, I’ll call you Xiaoqiang, Xiaoming, and Xiaohong!”Looking at the ruined base, he did not feel discouraged.“It’s alright, as long as we recover for another wave, then…”Zhong Yi was about to recruit Utility Disciples and start earning Spirit Stones to develop again.Just then, he discovered in horror—On the mini-map, dense red dots appeared again!The red dots represented enemy units, which were the Demonic Path.Such dense red dots indicated an attack much more intense than the previous wave!“Maybe they’re all just Utility Disciples mining?”Zhong Yi held onto a last shred of hope and dragged the screen.Looking at the mountain-sized Demon God Soldiers summoned by the Demon Worshippers, and the Demonic Path Array Masters whose attire suggested they were extraordinary, Zhong Yi gasped.“I understand! This must be a plot device. Now I need to… avoid the Demonic Path’s eyes and ears and find a new place to develop!”Zhong Yi’s optimistic mindset would even make Lu Ze give him a thumbs up.“A gentleman’s revenge, ten years is not too late… This home, I will reclaim it sooner or later!”Zhong Yi snorted coldly.He sold the Martial Arts Hall, canceled the garrison, and let the Sect base transform back into a floating island and drift away.Then he nimbly led his remaining three small soldiers and fled in the opposite direction.Previously, he had always explored towards the northwest.This time, he ran directly towards the southeast.The mini-map was covered in a black fog of war in the unexplored areas.Zhong Yi walked and replayed the recent battle in his mind.Though tragic, it was very interesting.After only a few steps.Suddenly, a giant boulder fell from the sky, directly crushing his remaining forces into a pulp.“No!! Xiaoqiang!! Xiaoming!! Xiaohong!!!”“Who is it!? I’ll kill you!!”Zhong Yi was heartbroken and furious.He looked into the distance—Rows of Demon God Soldiers summoned by Demon Worshippers were grinning at him.“…”Zhong Yi swallowed.He changed the direction of the Sect’s floating island and turned to run.“I will be back!!”…As expected,Zhong Yi lost.Watching his base being hammered into fragments by the Demonic Path, Zhong Yi felt a sense of guilt for letting down his Sect.The moment the base exploded.The door to the command room he was in was pushed open.Countless Demonic Path Cultivators poured in, piercing his body with their swords……“Damn it! If I lose, I lose, why do they have to specifically make an ending where I get killed…”Zhong Yi complained angrily.Apart from controlling the units on the screen, all his other abilities were sealed, which could be considered a System kill.This was specifically made by Lu Ze, and it would trigger upon failure.This was to prevent him from having no “death” concept, and the System wouldn’t count his Demonic Path value.Returning to the initial space.A dialogue box popped up in Zhong Yi’s face:You failed in the battle to defend the Sect. Do you have anything to say to your fellow Disciples?Zhong Yi froze for a moment.It showed that six Lingxiao Sect Disciples had already left messages in this chapter.They were clearly representatives of the Lingxiao Sect’s Disciples.“Ashamed, so ashamed! It seems my cultivation is still insufficient!”“We are incompetent, we have shamed the Sect…”“So this prosperous age was fought for by our ancestors in such a tragic War!”“Fun, hehe… fun!”…He didn’t know that this was a method specially designed by Lu Ze.This way, the Disciples’ focus wouldn’t be on “how difficult the campaign is,” but rather on “how to preserve the Sect’s face.”The upright Zhong Yi immediately fell for it.Not only was he not discouraged, but he also began to leave a message with great emotion.“Disciple Zhong Yi, I failed to restore the Sect’s glory and protect the Dao with my life! However, through this battle, I have comprehended the Dao of conquest… To restore the Sect’s glory is our inescapable duty!”
