Peerless Taoist

This place was surrounded by a desert, and only this lone city stood tall.    

At this time, the protective formation of Coldsteel City had already been activated. Outside the city, there were still countless cultivators staring at the people in the city with unfriendly expressions.    

"Those bastards from the Lu Family, they are sending our Great Nether Army to their death!" Luo Jian and the others stood on top of the city wall with serious expressions.    

The Great Nether Army had already guarded this lone city for a month. However, the supplies and reinforcements that the Northern Alliance had promised were now nowhere to be seen.    

Ever since Wang Chen killed the Ice Region experts and disappeared without a trace, many people guessed that Wang Chen was already dead.    

The Great Nether Army that Wang Chen had originally controlled was also controlled by the Lu Family. It was treated as a blade and would go to the most dangerous places every time.    

A month ago, the five Exalts of the Ice Domain had led the army to attack.    

The Northern Alliance sent out the Great Nether Army as usual to stop them, but they didn't give them any supplies or support.    

The reinforcements were clearly not far away, but they just hadn't moved at all. It seemed that the Great Nether Army had suffered heavy casualties.    

"General, the enemy is charging up again!" A soldier came to report.    

Luo Jian frowned and waved his hand, "Gather the spirit stone and turn it into a killing formation. Let's charge out!"    

In a month's time, there was not much spirit stone left in their hands.    

Rather than slowly being worn down, they might as well fight to the death.    

"The three of us can hold back their Supreme state experts. You have to find an opportunity and run out quickly." Di Xiao walked over with the two Supreme Being Realm experts.    

They were the experts of the Poison Scorpion Sect that Lu Yu had subdued earlier.    

Although they were supreme beings, their bodies were covered in wounds and they were exhausted.    

The opponent had five supreme beings, five against three. It was already their limit that they were able to persist until now.    

Luo Jian raised his voice and said, "The Great Nether Army has no precedent of abandoning their comrades. If they want to die, we'll die together!"    

"Fools!" Di Xiao berated, saying, "The people of the Lu Family pushed us to the brink of death because they hope that we will be completely wiped out. If all of you die, who will avenge us in the future? "    

Dong! Dong! Dong!    

On the battlefield in front of the city walls, the sound of war drums suddenly resounded.    

The cultivators of the Ice Realm controlled their weapons and charged toward Gu Cheng.    

"They've sent even more people this time!" Luo Jian's face turned pale seeing this.    

They had previously estimated the number of enemies, but today's battle formation had far exceeded their expectations.    

"Eight Zhizun realm experts have come. This time, it is likely that the odds are against us." Di Xiao took a deep breath.    

A feeling of despair enveloped the hearts of all the soldiers of the Great Nether Army.    

Originally, they were almost invincible in the Northern Region with Lu Yu. No one would have thought that their final outcome would be like this.    

Luo Jian said in a deep voice, "Activate the grand defensive formation and prepare to fight!"    

The grand defensive formation of Coldsteel City was instantly activated. In an instant, a murderous aura enveloped the air.    

But at this moment.    

On the other side of the ice zone, there was a sudden call for retreat.    

"Lord Mu Shou has ordered the ice region to stop fighting immediately. All the troops fighting at the front line will retreat immediately. Those who disobey will be killed" A dignified voice echoed in the sky.    

As the voice disappeared, the Ice Region Army quickly left. Outside of the city, it was quiet again.    

"Is this a trick from the ice?" Luo Jian asked doubtfully.    

"The Ice Realm has indeed left" Di Xiao used the Spiritual Sense to scan his surroundings. "We can take this opportunity to leave and ask the Lu Family why they didn't help us!"
