Chapter 2081 - 2085: Subduing the Southern Barbarians, Seizing South State!

"Therefore, I have now decided to advance into South State!"

In front of all the senior generals, Qin Tian solemnly announced, "General Zhao Lanjin will be the commander, and General Lin Yu and General Ye Kun will be the vice commanders. From today onwards, they will lead 150,000 troops to attack South State!"

Zhao Lanjin, Lin Yu, and Ye Kun all stood up and cupped their hands: "We obey orders!"

While the Imperial Capital Army was busy in East State, Qin Tian made his move on South State.

This move was opportunistic and also a way to repay the Dragon Clan for their previous help in winning the battle in West State.

At the same time, when deploying troops to occupy South State, Qin Tian ordered Zhou Yang and Che Aijun to lead 100,000 troops, and in coordination with Yan Ruolan's Leopard Clan and the Fox Clan coalition, launched a final attack on the Southern Barbarian Lion Clan.

At this time, the Lion Clan had significantly weakened power, and with continuous internal strife, when Zhou Yang's 100,000 troops and Yan Ruolan's 100,000 from the west and east were preparing to simultaneously enter Lion Clan territory and launch the final attack on Man City, an unforeseen event occurred.

The Lion King was poisoned and assassinated by his own Great General during internal conflicts within the Lion Clan.

In the meantime, the Lion Clan's Great General immediately surrendered to Yan Ruolan.

Just as Zhou Yang's army reached the Lion Clan's territory, the Lion Clan's situation was completely resolved.

At this time, Qin Tian directly wrote a letter to Zhou Yang, asking him to assist Yan Ruolan in ascending to the throne of the Barbarian King, and furthermore, the entire capital of the Barbarian Clan should be set in Leopard City.

After Zhou Yang and Yan Ruolan returned to Leopard City, they immediately convened the Southern Barbarian Congress, and the kings of the Fox, Lion, Xiong, and Tiger Clans all came to attend.

The newly appointed Xiong King, Tiger King, and Lion King, under the intervention of Zhou Yang and Yan Ruolan, were all friendly towards the Leopard Clan and obeyed its orders.

So, this Southern Barbarian Congress was exceptionally successful, with Yan Ruolan being jointly elected as the new Barbarian King, and Leopard City becoming the new Barbarian City.

The overall situation of the Southern Barbarians was basically determined.

When Zhou Yang left Barbarian City, just in case, he specially requested Qin Tian to send a general with 50,000 troops to station in Lion City of the Lion Clan, and only after Yan Ruolan fully controlled the Barbarian Clan, they would withdraw.

...

Outside West Capital City, on a certain barren mountain peak.

Qin Tian stood proudly on the mountain peak.

He slightly closed his eyes, his arms moving in the air, and two streams of silver True Qi began to spread out...

Buzz buzz buzz!

The True Qi intertwined invisibly, like threading a needle, forming a spherical space in the void!

This is not just any space, but a formation!

The Seven-star Eight Diagram Array!

Streams of True Qi flow long and continuous, guided by the primary mnemonic and laws of the Seven-star Eight Diagram Array, forming this mysterious spatial formation.

This formation, born of the invisible, kills in the invisible!

Invisibly, the formation can envelop the enemy's primordial spirit, placing the enemy's primordial spirit within the formation space. If the enemy cannot break the formation, they will be torn apart by it!

The primordial spirit perishes first, and the body dies afterward!

When Qin Tian previously looked at the law, he thought this formation was only effective against enemies numbering more than ten. But upon actual cultivation, he found that once the caster's cultivation reached the Flying Immortal Realm, it could directly cover and envelop both single enemies and group opponent armies!

Even when the Seven-star Eight Diagram Array is cultivated to the intermediate stage, it can be directly used to trap and kill a small-scale army!

Of course, the more people trapped and the higher their cultivation, the higher the requirements for the caster's cultivation and strength.

If the formation is forced, the caster will suffer varying degrees of backlash.

And the cultivation of those trapped must not exceed that of the caster, otherwise, the True Qi power cannot spread successfully.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

True Qi moved through the air; the primary formation of the Seven-star Eight Diagram Array condensed by Qin Tian has taken shape. However, only he can see it; ordinary people can only see the flow of True Qi, not easily perceivable by the naked eye.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Qin Tian stopped the infusion of True Qi, then, retracting his mind, directly shattered the formation space.

Sweat ran down his forehead, and his clothes were completely soaked.

But fortunately, through days of continuous cultivation and research, today, for the first time, he successfully condensed the most formed and rule-based Seven-star Eight Diagram Array.

"I just don't know its power, whether it can trap people."

Qin Tian exhaled a long breath; the formation condensation just now had consumed too much of him. He quickly sat cross-legged and began to replenish his True Qi.

At this moment, Qin Tian rarely enjoyed leisure time. He certainly would not waste it and used it well for cultivation.

Under Zhao Lanjin's fierce attack, more than half of South State's territory has already been incorporated into West State's map.

Under Yan Ruolan's rule, the control over the Southern Barbarians gradually increased, and the several major clans could hardly stir up trouble.

On the Demon Clan's side, Liu Fei'er also gradually emerged from the chaos of the Demon Clan, continuously developing the economy and increasing the population. Currently, the total military strength of the Demon Clan has reached more than 200,000, fully capable of providing strong support to Qin Tian.

So, at this time, Qin Tian rarely became a fisherman.

He watched the Imperial City and the Dragon Clan battle, preparing to sit and reap the benefits.

Moreover, if the Imperial City and the Dragon Clan become more deeply entrenched in battle, Qin Tian is ready to send troops to the Imperial City at any time!

Of course, all this is predicated on the West State Army, after the West State War, resting and recuperating, with combat effectiveness beginning to improve.

A month quickly passed, and the war between the Imperial City and the Dragon Clan gradually showed a balanced trend.

Additionally, after the War God joined the fight, he seemed to start exerting force, pushing the Dragon Clan eastward.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Tian's Empowerment Divine Skill has further progressed, passing the primary stage, and he can now continue to enhance the cultivation of Zhou Yang and others, allowing each of them to be elevated to the late stage of the Small Immortal Realm.

This is a major leap.

The combat effectiveness of the Qin Army further increased.

Of course, each enhancement also caused significant consumption to Qin Tian. After elevating ten people, Qin Tian even felt his cultivation beginning to regress, and his True Qi was somewhat insufficient, so he promptly stopped cultivating the Empowerment Divine Skill.

The late stage of the Small Immortal Realm is enough for his brothers to handle most of the difficulties.

"Boss, the Demon Clan seems to have been making frequent moves with the Imperial City lately. We have to be careful; the Demon Clan in the northwest has colluded with the Ice Emperor to plot against us." Xiao Zhuang received intelligence from the Imperial City and immediately reported to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said, "Times have changed; if the Demon Clan wants to cooperate with the Imperial City, they must weigh the consequences. Besides, the Ice Emperor's personality is fickle and deeply suspicious; the Demon Clan suffered in the past, and even if they agree now, they will not sincerely cooperate with the Imperial City."

"On the contrary, regarding Long Yin's side," Qin Tian furrowed his brows, "the elite of the Imperial Forbidden Army and the Soul Suppressing Hall have formed the Dragon Slayer Department, killing on a large scale. The losses for Long Yin in the Imperial City are heavy, and they have already sent four requests for help to us."
