#621 - Gongsun Liuyun
In less than three hours, the Gongsun family, numbering tens of thousands, was completely annihilated, with no survivors.
The entire battlefield was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a heavy stench of blood and the aura of death.
Li Chengfeng stood at the highest point of the battlefield, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he gazed at the Tower of Shame constructed from the heads of the Gongsun family.
With a casual wave of his sleeve, the tens of thousands of heads of the Gongsun family instantly coalesced into a small tower, barely three inches high, yet seemingly containing endless heaviness and sorrow.
Each head on this small tower was lifelike, as if still retaining the emotions of the living. With a gentle sweep of divine sense, one could clearly feel their unwillingness and pain, sending chills down the spine.
Even more astonishing was that this was not merely a sculpture made of piled-up heads, but a sinister treasure containing the power of tens of thousands of souls.
Li Chengfeng casually absorbed these souls into his Hell Space. At the same time, he skillfully transformed those powerful soul energies into his own authority, totaling hundreds of thousands, enough for him to squander for a while, improving his cultivation and enhancing his strength.
He laughed loudly, his voice revealing endless joy and satisfaction: "Let's leave quickly and return to distribute the rewards. The main force of the Gongsun family will probably arrive soon; we can't stay here for long."
Having spoken, he once again used his divine power, a mysterious light enveloping the entire army, making them seem invisible as they quickly disappeared from the spot.
Xie Zhendong followed closely behind, using his weapon's divine power to submerge the entire army, along with the tens of thousands of miners, underground, silently returning to the Evil Dragon Base.
Their actions were swift and secretive, as if they had never left any trace on this land.
However, just as they had left, countless sounds of rushing wind came from the sky.
The Supreme Elders of the Gongsun family arrived ahead of time, only to see the entire mine had been turned into ruins, a scene of devastation. An unspeakable rage and grief welled up in their hearts.
Gongsun Haiming looked at the scene before him, his heart attacked by anger, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He muttered to himself in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why has the Evil Dragon Clan suddenly changed its tactics?
Since suffering heavy losses in the last battle of the far north, their Dragon Witches here have always been cautious. How could they be so bold this time, achieving a surprise victory?"
He shook his head, a solemn look flashing in his eyes: "The Evil Dragon Clan must have sent a new Dragon Witch who has re-evaluated the tactics.
But even so, we can't be easily fooled. They are doing this on purpose, trying to provoke us, to make us lose our minds and attack their base, which is full of arrays."
Gongsun Liuyun's eyes were bloodshot as he roared angrily: "Are we just going to let this go? This is our Gongsun family's mine. Without these resources, our Gongsun family will have difficulty recovering and rebuilding will take decades!"
Gongsun Haiming calmly guided: "Liuyun, calm down. We can't let anger cloud our judgment.
The most important thing now is to find out the truth and then formulate a countermeasure. Since the Evil Dragon Clan dares to do this, they must have something to rely on.
We can't act rashly, lest we fall into their trap."
Although Gongsun Liuyun was unwilling, he knew that Gongsun Haiming was right. He clenched his fists and said with a firm gaze: "Alright! Then let's find out the truth first, and then settle accounts with the Evil Dragon Clan!"
In the sky above, clouds churned, seemingly foreshadowing the coming storm.
Gongsun Haiming, the wise man of the Gongsun family, finally calmed down from his initial shock and began to slowly survey the ravaged battlefield.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, and every step seemed particularly heavy.
"It seems that the Evil Dragon Clan really came prepared this time," he muttered to himself, his tone carrying undisguised astonishment. "Apart from the aura of the Blood Dragon Clan, there is nothing else here. And one of them is particularly strange, obviously a remnant of the Grand Prophecy Technique.
However, the other party's Great Benefit Element is so powerful that even our three Supreme Elders and the Yin-Yang Grand Array could not completely block it.
The opportunity for battle was actually devoured by some kind of insect, this… this is simply unbelievable!"
He looked up at the sky, his brow furrowed, his heart churning with stormy waves. "Ten thousand insects, this is no small number. The Evil Dragon Clan's preparations are beyond imagination.
We must act immediately, notify the North Sea, and send experts to come and support us. The Shadow has passed away, and the red light he left behind has also been shattered. The Gongsun family is facing an unprecedented crisis."
Gongsun Liuyun, the patriarch of the Gongsun family, looked grave upon hearing this, but did not show the slightest fear. "Is there even a need to say that? My Gongsun family has stood for a hundred thousand years without falling. How can we easily admit defeat?
The other party has only succeeded for a moment. The real battle has not yet begun. Fortunately, we have reserves of spirit stones and resources, enough to support us for decades.
As long as you give us time, we will definitely make a comeback."
His eyes were bright and energetic, like two burning flames, burning with indomitable fighting spirit. "Immediately notify all Gongsun family members outside to return. This place has become ashes. Although there are spirit stones, now is not the time to rebuild. We will discuss rebuilding after the Evil Dragon Clan is completely destroyed."
Gongsun Haiming nodded in agreement. The two looked at each other, and both saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the retreat was temporary, for a more powerful return.
In the next three days, the Gongsun family urgently convened several large and small meetings, and at the same time sought help from the Murong family and the major forces of Xuan Guang Continent, hoping that the human race could send support.
At the same time, they also sent letters of appeal to the North Sea. Letters like sparks of hope were scattered in all directions, awaiting the arrival of reinforcements.
Due to Gongsun Haiming's timidity and fear of falling into an ambush, the Gongsun family's defense line appeared unusually fragile.
At this time, Li Chengfeng led three thousand elite troops, after three days of marching, triumphantly returned and re-entered the headquarters of the Evil Dragon Clan.
The Evil Dragon Clan's President, Xie Wenyu, personally led all the Half-Step Demon Emperors to greet them. This victory was regarded as the most glorious battle in the history of the Evil Dragon Clan.
They not only annihilated the Gongsun family's spirit stone mine guards, but also plundered a large number of resources, effectively alleviating the clan's urgent needs.
And all of this depended on the ingenious prophecies of the newly promoted Dragon Witch.
When the Evil Dragon Clan's team retreated completely, with only one-tenth of their losses, this was already an extremely outstanding record.
Li Chengfeng walked proudly at the front of the team, with three Half-Step Demon Emperors following closely behind, all beaming with joy.
On the way back, Li Chengfeng had already distributed the plundered resources. Although he did not distribute all the resources, but left a part for unified distribution, even so!
Those Evil Dragon Clan presidents and Half-Step Demon Emperors who did not participate in the battle also received generous rewards, especially the three Half-Step Demon Emperors who contributed the most. They received even more generous resources. Therefore, they all seemed extremely happy.
