Chapter 3997: The End of the Battle

y didn't have any deep grudges against each other. Therefore, neither of them truly used their full power.But now, Dao Lian'er is really in a hurry.Mu Tian still looked like nothing had happened, his...That day, the numerous figures once again appeared above the Zhundi Sword. Looking at Jiang Mu sitting there, they smiled and asked: "Old Jiang, how have you been recently"

Jiang Mu stood up and smiled, "It's still the same old me. I'm leaving!"

After uttering those words, Jiang Mu ignored the group of youngsters and strode away with a decisive air towards the distance.

At the same time, a sudden gust of wind appeared, sweeping over Jiang Mu's figure and taking him directly out of sight.

Looking at where Ginger Mu had disappeared, Zhu Shaoshao said with a hint of envy: "Old Ginger is still comfortable. With the mirage demon by his side, he doesn't have to exert himself wherever he goes. Unlike us, we still have to ride on transmission arrays and travel back and forth."

"Oh, this person is so infuriating! It's just not fair!"

"However, recently, Lao Jiang's mood has improved a lot compared to before, which is a good thing!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhuo Shao also sat cross-legged above the Zhendi Sword, his divine sense sweeping into the sword.

Within, deafening sounds of fighting continuously erupted.

In the vast space, one could see cultivators from the four major races everywhere, engaged in a fierce battle with Di You and Di Shi.

Zhushaosha's divine awareness swept over the Zhundi Jian, lingering only briefly before moving on. He quickly took in everything within the sword.

Stroking his chin, Zhu Shaoshao sighed again, "Nine years ago, if someone had told me that one day the Zhen Di Sword would become a testing ground, I would have killed them."

But now, things are really unpredictable!

Yes, the Imperial Extermination Sword is now a place of trial.

However, it is both a trial ground for the Imperial Ghosts and Imperial Corpses of the Emperor's Tombs and a trial ground for the cultivators of the Four Realms.

Initially, the movement of the Zhundi Sword and the Emperor's Tomb launching a simultaneous attack on the eight inner and outer gates led almost all cultivators, including Zhu Shao and others, to believe that there would be a earth-shattering, bloody battle, one that could even encompass the entire Si Jingcang.

This was a fact, yet it greatly exceeded their expectations.

The imperial corpse of the Emperor within the Imperial Tomb, although it did indeed burst out of the Imperial Tomb and into the Town-Suppressing Sword, that's all there was to it! Back then, the four city lords, including Zhu Shao Shao, joined forces with a large number of cultivators, launching their first assault into the Town-Suppressing Sword and engaging in a bloody battle with the imperial corpse.

And just as they were halfway through their attack, all the Di You and Emperor corpses suddenly, inexplicably, retreated back into the Imperial Tombs at an even faster speed than before, like a surging tide.

Everyone was baffled and completely clueless about what was going on.

In the end, it was the four city lords who went together to the tip of the sword. They discovered that there was a gap at the tip of the sword, and the corpses of the four city lords were found there. Only then did they understand that the Imperial Tomb didn't need to break through the formation at all; it simply entered the Town-Suppressing Sword through this gap.

Naturally, the four immediately wanted to fill this gap.

Just as they were about to do so, a large number of Di You and Di Shi poured out from within the Imperial Tomb. Their strength was no weaker than theirs, forcing them to retreat.

At that time, they thought this was the true beginning of the war. They didn't expect that after they left the tip of the sword, those Di You and Di Shi wouldn't chase them out, and retreated again.

This made them think that the Imperial Tomb should only want to keep that gap, and no longer be willing to be completely suppressed.

As long as the four regions don't fill that gap, the Imperial Mausoleum won't launch an attack.

So, they simply abandoned the sword-point portion and continued to reinforce the formation.

However, the Imperial Tomb launched a third attack.

Still halfway through his attack, the Emperor's Ghosts retreated back.

Thus, every so often, the Imperial Mausoleum would launch an attack, but without reaching a decisive outcome, it would proactively withdraw.

After repeated instances, people like Zhu Shaoshao unanimously believed that the Imperial Tomb was clearly a place to hone and temper those Imperial Ghosts and Imperial Corpses.

Therefore, from that point forward, the Four Surroundings also changed their strategies.

On one hand, they continued to dispatch people to repair and reinforce the formation urgently. On the other hand, a large number of cultivators were withdrawn from the Emperor-Subduing Sword, leaving only a small portion behind.

The monks who were removed from their posts are temporarily not allowed to leave the Four Towns City. They must still remain on standby within the city at all times.

Once the Imperial Tomb launches another attack, if the cultivators within the Town Emperor Sword are unable to cope, then the cultivators on standby in the city will have to go to support.

Gradually, this battle evolved into an endless trial.

The cultivators in the four towns, even including the four city lords, rotate every year.

During the year, the city's cultivators also took turns entering the Zhèn Dì Sword to continuously fight against those Emperor You and Emperor Corpses.

Although a number of cultivators still died in battle, the number of casualties was at least within an acceptable range for all the different tribes in the Four Realms Hidden Region.

Moreover, the casualties at Di Ling always exceeded those of the Four Realms combined.

In short, if the Imperial Mausoleum and the Four Boundary Storage can truly maintain this state perpetually, the Four Boundary Storage would be very happy.

However, in the fifth year, because most cultivators had taken it for granted that the Imperial Tomb was merely a place to hone Emperor You and Emperor Corpse's strength, and they had always been victorious in every battle, their vigilance relaxed, and even some began to look down upon the Imperial Tomb.

At that moment, Emperor Ling suddenly launched a large-scale attack, nearly drawing the Zhundi Sword.

Fortunately, Mo Yun Ting, who was in charge at the time, used a forbidden technique from their clan. With his own power, he risked depleting his lifespan to turn the tide, and with Jiang Mu's timely rescue, the situation was stabilized once again.

And after that battle, the Emperor's Tomb resumed its relentless attacks, a constant cycle of assault and retreat that continues to this day.

Now, Jiang Mu has completed his year-long mission and was replaced by Zhu Shao.

Being young and inexperienced, Zhu Shaosheng dared not relax his vigilance. He kept his eyes fixed on the Emperor's Sword while pondering, what was the real purpose behind this kind of attack that the Imperial Tomb had persisted in for over nine years

However, after only a moment's thought, Zhu Shao-shao stretched lazily and yawned, saying, "Can't think of it, forget it. I just hope to finish my year's mission peacefully."

Meanwhile, Jiang Mu, who had returned to Qingshan Mountain, saw the mirage demon appear before him.

At this moment, a rare excitement appeared on Jiang Mu's face as he addressed the Mirage Demon: "I've figured it out! The attacks within the Imperial Tombs must have been orchestrated by our ancestor!"

The mirage demon froze instantly and exclaimed, "No, it can't be!"

"Continuing, Jiang Mu said, 'Over the past decade, perhaps other groups haven't felt much of a difference. But for us, it was a successful shift in the focus of other groups, especially the attention of the Zang Lao clan towards our tribe.'"

"Otherwise, Old Zang would have asked me about my ancestor's affairs last time. If it weren't for the sudden activation of the Imperial Tomb, they would have probably attacked us long ago."

And, the Imperial Tomb has existed for a long time, and there has never been such an incident. Strangely enough, after the ancestor entered the Imperial Tomb, such bizarre things began to happen.

If it wasn't the Ancestor's doing, I really can't think of any other possibilities.

Although the mirage demon always felt that Jiang Mu's ideas were unrealistic, it was a fact that the Mirage Clan had enjoyed nearly ten years of peace.

But he also reminded Jiang Mu, "If the ancestor really could control the Imperial Tomb, why not just come back"

"Master Jiang shook his head and said, 'It's right that the ancestor didn't come back.'"

Once he returns, the Cang Lao Hui will inevitably call him in to inquire about the details of the Imperial Tomb and why he was able to control it.

Even the Ancestor could be in mortal danger.

After all, the Imperial Army is a formidable force.

The Elders of the Tibetan sect would absolutely never allow anyone to control the Imperial Tomb!

Listening to Jiang Mu's explanation, the mirage demon couldn't find any words to refute. She could only smile wryly and say, "So what are you going to do next"

Ginger Mu said, "Since the ancestor is fighting for time for us, I will naturally seize this opportunity."

"I will resign from the position of City Lord and go into seclusion to cultivate, aiming to breakthrough to become an Emperor!"

However, the moment Jiang Mu finished speaking, the communication jade pendant on his body suddenly lit up, and a few surprised cries came from inside: "Old Jiang, come quickly!"

The Imperial Army has retreated, and the crack in the Sovereign Emperor's Sword has also healed itself. The war should be over!!Meanwhile, Jiang Yun's figure appeared before the dumbfounded nine people. His face was calm as a still ancient well, seemingly he had just destroyed something no more than a cobweb, not a space form...
