Chapter 129 The Mystery of Chengzhou
As the State of Zhao developed rapidly, like the rising sun, its power was unstoppable. It quickly transformed from a dynasty into an imperial dynasty, and the King of Zhao became the Emperor of Zhao. Its fortunes were also transformed, as if it had been reborn, from a golden python to a golden dragon, as if to show the world that the national strength of Zhao was increasing day by day.
The news that the Zhao state had transformed from a dynasty into an imperial dynasty spread like wildfire, shocking countless forces.
However, this news acted like a shot in the arm, greatly boosting morale at the front lines of Zhao, stabilizing the hearts of the people of Zhao, and making the determination of the entire nation to support territorial expansion as unbreakable as steel.
Moreover, after the Zhao Kingdom transformed from a dynasty into an imperial dynasty, the spiritual energy within its territory increased dramatically like a surging tide. In some places, the spiritual energy even condensed into a tangible substance, transforming into showers of spiritual rain, bringing good news to many low-level cultivators.
However, many advanced cultivators were pleasantly surprised to find that the laws and principles within the Zhao Kingdom were becoming increasingly stable, making their path to higher realms smoother.
These earth-shattering changes in the Zhao Kingdom, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky, attracted great attention from the demon race, the winged race, and the dragon race.
The powerful figures of the three clans were secretly plotting to suppress the Zhao state. They were determined not to allow the Zhao state to continue its unstoppable growth and expansion, otherwise, the Zhao state would become a huge threat to the development and expansion of the three clans.
Therefore, on the border of Zhao, in Chengzhou, the demon race, the winged race, and the dragon race secretly dispatched troops to gather, preparing to launch a joint attack on Chengzhou of Zhao, catching Zhao off guard. Because Chengzhou of Zhao borders Hengzhou of the demon race, Linzhou of the winged race, and Meizhou of the dragon race, it is most suitable for a joint attack by the three races.
The demon race was led by Eternal Night Demon Saint, Linxu Demon Saint, and Ziji Demon Saint, along with thirty demon saints including Cangmang Demon Saint, Tianli Demon Saint, Guiming Demon Saint, and Xize Demon Saint, hundreds of demon lords, and an army of over 100 million demons.
The Feather Clan was led by Lingyun Feather Saint, Zhengtian Feather Saint, and Yunjin Feather Saint, along with twenty-eight Feather Saints including Tianpeng Feather Saint, Yundiao Feather Saint, and Shangcang Feather Saint, hundreds of Feather Clan Grand Lords, and an army of over one hundred million Feather Clan soldiers.
The Dragon Clan is led by Yunxuan Dragon Saint, Tianli Dragon Saint, and Lize Dragon Saint, along with twenty Dragon Saints including Xingchao Dragon Saint, Daoxi Dragon Saint, and Yunyan Dragon Saint, hundreds of Dragon Lords, hundreds of millions of Dragon Clan members, and a large army of Dragon Clan subordinates.
The three armies, like a dense, steel torrent, were poised to break through Zhao's impregnable Chengzhou defenses.
Moreover, a continuous stream of demon, winged, and dragon saints followed, gathering like locusts. The three races attempted to crush the Zhao Kingdom in one fell swoop, causing the Zhao Kingdom to completely lose its ability to expand its territory in this battle.
The Zhao state attaches great importance to Chengzhou, as if it were Mount Tai. After all, the Zhao state knows that Chengzhou is adjacent to Hengzhou of the demon race, Linzhou of the feather race, and Meizhou of the dragon race. They are as interdependent as lips and teeth, and it is the most vulnerable and dangerous place.
However, the territorial disputes among the demon race, the winged race, and the dragon race are like raging fires, frequently triggering earth-shattering battles. Their struggles for blessed lands and territories are even more relentless, like a violent storm. Many powerful figures in the Zhao Kingdom believe that the races are currently at odds with each other and there is absolutely no possibility of them uniting to attack Chengzhou, the capital of Zhao.
Although fierce battles still raged among the demon race, the winged race, and the dragon race, after careful consideration by the powerful figures of the three races, they decided to put aside their differences and unite to launch a fierce attack on Chengzhou of the Zhao Kingdom in order to curb the Zhao Kingdom's aggressive momentum.
Even so, the Zhao state still stationed a mighty army of 200 million in Chengzhou. This army was commanded by King Pingyang Zhao Wenqian, King Chengling Zhao Wenxu, and King Guangling Zhao Wengu, and was overseen by Marquis Guannei Zhao Pingxin, Marquis Hanshou Zhao Yundao, Marquis Pingchang Zhao Yungu, Marquis Huaiyin Zhao Wenyan, as well as forty saints including Daoist Zhenyuan, Daoist Taiqing, Saint Weichu, and Saint Xuanjia. Thousands of experts at the Celestial Realm led the 200 million Zhao army, meticulously setting up numerous formations along the border, like an impregnable fortress.
