My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The soldiers just realized that the Emperor had emerged.

They recalled the scene moments ago, as if an immortal descended or a true dragon had arrived. Even the legendary undefeated White Robe, Chen Sansi, was struck down by a single sword and fled in disgrace.

Everyone revered him as if he were a deity.

In an instant.

The million-strong army knelt as if blown by the wind like waves of grain, chanting in unison.

"Long live Great Sheng Emperor Wan Shou, His Majesty the Emperor!"

The sound shook the heavens and the earth!

...

Kunyang City Wall.

"Commander!"

"..."

Zhao Kang and others hurriedly approached.

The pale-faced Chen Sansi raised his hand, indicating he was fine, but only after entering the tower and closing the door did he cough up a mouthful of blood.

The commander's injury could greatly demoralize the troops, so no matter how severe the injury, it must not be shown to the subordinates.

After a brief meditation and bandaging his wounds, and swallowing a few healing pills, Chen Sansi returned to the city wall.

"Junior Brother?"

Cheng Wei and others looked worried.

"Just a flesh wound, nothing serious."

Chen Sansi said casually.

"Fellow Daoist Chen."

Huang Laojiu took out a porcelain bottle from his robe: "Old man here has some healing pills; I hope you don't mind taking them."

"Thank you, Senior, for your assistance."

Chen Sansi didn't plan to consume them but still accepted the pills, cupping his hands in gratitude.

His heart was filled with greater confusion.

According to his previous judgment.

The true level of Huang Laojiu was likely beyond the Qi Refinement Realm.

Yet earlier, he only used a Second-tier Talisman without taking action himself.

What is he waiting for?

Once Longqing is dead, the enemy army will collapse.

Or perhaps Chen Sansi's guess was wrong, and this person is indeed just a Qi Refining cultivator whose cultivation method is particularly unique, making the Qi Observation Skill unable to see through?

No matter what, he could only rely on himself.

"The, the former Emperor has emerged!"

The already demoralized generals inside the city became even more panic-stricken.

"Ascended to immortality?!"

"Has the former Emperor truly become an immortal?"

"..."

Many people did not understand the cultivators' realm divisions and merely felt that Emperor Longqing, wielding the Dragon Abyss Sword, possessed an aura similar to a Daoist Ancestor or a Sword Immortal.

Even though Wei Xuan explained that Foundation Establishment prolongs life to two hundred years, not a true immortal, it was still hard to calm the hearts of the troops.

Roughly half a day later, the court tried attacking the city again.

With no way to fend off Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Huang Laojiu had no choice but to activate the full power of the Mysterious Armor Xunfeng Formation.

The enemy army began to relentlessly wear down the City Defense Array day and night using the Liuding Lijia Formation.

"Spirit Stones, my Spirit Stones!"

Huang Laojiu wailed continuously.

...

Outside the city.

A million-strong army.

Central Army Tent.

"Your servants, pay respects to Your Majesty."

"..."

Prince Qin and numerous generals cupped their hands and bowed.

"You cultivators, why aren't you paying respects?!"

Huang Hong pointed at Shengyun Sect cultivator Yuan Simiao, scolding harshly.

"What does this mean?"

Yuan Simiao frowned and said: "We cultivators are not citizens of your Sheng Dynasty. Isn't offering Jianghu courtesies enough?"

"How dare you!"

Huang Hong's sharp voice rose suddenly: "This is the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty. How can mortal rulers compare? Even cultivators, when in Eastern Continent meeting Emperor Wan Shou, should show loyalty like subjects! Otherwise, they will be punished according to the laws of our Great Sheng Dynasty!"

"What did you say?!"

Yuan Simiao was furious, about to explode with anger, but seeing Cao Kai, who sat cross-legged on a prayer mat with closed eyes, sneering immediately.

This is...

A betrayal!

Friendly before, now hostile!

Not long ago, the man surnamed Cao was earnestly pleading with Shengyun Sect to cooperate, exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills and other resources.

Having successfully reached Foundation Establishment, now he shows an entirely different attitude.

Yet...

Nothing could be done about it!

The other party possessed an ancient treasure capable of resisting the Heaven and Earth Seal, being the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in this realm.

To speak bluntly.

Even if he really were to be killed here for not showing respect, as long as Emperor Longqing remains inside the seal, even if the Shengyun Sect's ancestor came, they could do nothing!

Moreover...

If Shengyun Sect still desires Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein, they can't even afford to turn hostile, and may have to heed this person's whims in the future.

Offense and defense have switched.

This person could be said to bear humiliation for the greater good.

Understanding the stakes, Yuan Simiao did not insist on preserving his face, eventually leading fellow sect brothers in bowing respectfully in the direction of the Emperor:

"Shengyun Sect's Yuan Simiao, pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

"No need for formalities."

It was only then that Emperor Longqing slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a low voice: "What is the situation in Kunyang City?"

"Reporting to Father Emperor."

Prince Qin answered with cupped hands: "Whenever we send people to attack the city, they activate the City Protection Array. However, my sixth brother and most of the Guiyuan Sect cultivators have already retreated. As long as we gradually wear them down, once the Formation collapses, it will be their complete annihilation."

"Fellow Daoist Ling Kui."

Emperor Longqing slightly glanced to the side: "I am personally overseeing the situation here, you take several Shengyun Sect disciples to kill the Guiyuan Sect rebels."

Earlier, Cao Huan and others were able to retreat smoothly.

The main reason was the need for True Power Middle Stage to oversee the army.

But now that Longqing has emerged, the situation is quite different.

"Understood."

Ling Kui, without saying much, chewing a dogtail grass, left the tent, leading seven or eight cultivators to pursue Cao Huan and the civil and military officials of the New Dynasty.

At the same time.

The remaining cultivators of Shengyun Sect coordinated with Dan Liangcheng's Liuding Lijia Formation, bombarding the City Defense Array day and night.

"Don't panic, don't panic!"

Huang Laojiu advised others not to panic, but he himself was running around: "The spirit stones brought from the sect this time are indeed used up. But this old man still has some savings over the years, which can hold up for a while."
