Chapter 172 - 170 Ye Zhen’s Epiphany
"Ten years ago, Meng Chuan, as the winner of the Qiyun Sect Inner Gate competition, represented Qiyun Sect with five other disciples to participate in the Five Countries Conference. At that time, half of the slots for the Five Countries Conference from Black Water Kingdom were taken by Qiyun Sect!"
Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing recalled with infinite emotion.
"It should be said that Meng Chuan and the others did their best, not only them, but also the martial artists from Phantom Divine Empire, Sword Origin Empire, and Gu’an Kingdom who participated in the Five Countries Conference, they all did their utmost.
However, that year, the martial artists from the Southern Barbarian Tribe were too powerful, one Spirit Master even brought as many as five demon servants of mid-grade Earth Level, and furthermore, their luck was incredibly good!"
In the end, of the six disciples of Meng Chuan who went to participate in the Five Countries Conference, three died in battle, and nearly half of the thirty-four martial artists from the other three countries perished as well. Yet, the War Soul Blood Flag was ultimately seized by the Southern Barbarian Tribe!"
"What happened next, you all actually know. A year later, that is, nine years ago, the Southern Barbarian Tribe launched a massive invasion from Yin Mountain Canyon, and with the help of the War Soul Blood Flag, two hundred thousand Barbarian Army soldiers slaughtered all three border defense regiments stationed at Yin Mountain Border County overnight!
Three hundred thousand border defenders, wiped out overnight by a two hundred thousand-strong Barbarian Army, and the casualties of the Barbarian Army were less than fifty thousand!" Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing said.
Hiss!
The sound of sharp intakes of breath simultaneously came from the mouths of Ye Zhen, Gao Xinglie, and Han Shi.
"Elder Zhong, the border counties of Black Water Kingdom are not peaceful, and our Black Water Kingdom’s Border Army is among the elite of the elites. Facing a two hundred thousand Barbarian Army with a three hundred thousand-strong force, and having the advantage of terrain, even if we might not be victorious, shouldn’t it be impossible to be slaughtered overnight?"
