…

Six months later, Shenlong Island.

After Li Yang stabilized the situation in the entire Central Plains, he sent his 1,000 dead soldiers and hundreds of members who joined the Chinese Martial Arts Academy to Shenlong Island, preparing to eliminate the Shenlong Sect, a heresy that refused to accept enlightenment.

"Reporting to the leader, dozens of warships from the imperial court have surrounded the entire Shenlong Island!"

"This is really too much of a deception. Our Shenlong Sect has already announced that we will close the island and stop interfering in Jianghu affairs. The imperial court still refuses to let us go."

Hong Antong was extremely angry at this moment. In his opinion, he just failed to respond to the imperial court's call and joined the martial arts academy headed by the imperial court.

But now, the imperial court had sent troops to surround his Shenlong Island.

Obviously, this was for him, Hong Antong, and the Dragon Sect to make the final choice.

"Master, now all the martial arts sects in the Central Plains martial arts have joined the Imperial Court's Martial Arts Academy. Now I am the only one who has stayed away from the Shenlong Sect, which is deep overseas. This is definitely not allowed by the imperial court."

"Hmph, it's not that easy for the Shenlong Sect to rely on the imperial court like this."

"Come here, gather all the believers and prepare to fight against the imperial court." The stubborn Hong Antong immediately ordered.

Hong Antong's subordinates shook their heads secretly one by one. It was obvious that they were not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of Shenlong Sect at all.

If the life and death of all the Shenlong cultists had not been firmly controlled by Hong Antong, based on what these Shenlong cultists had seen and heard in the Central Plains during this period, they would have turned to the imperial court long ago.

Because the power of the new Ming Dynasty is much stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the court has also established a martial arts academy to attract many martial arts people.

Together, these people are countless times more powerful than any other sect.

Now they are the only ones who have the Shenlong Sect. Because they are overseas, Hong Antong has long been used to being a local emperor. How could he join the imperial court so willingly and obey his orders?

Soon, when Hong Antong issued an order for all the Shenlong Cult members to prepare for war.

In an antique courtyard on the island.

"Madam, the leader has mobilized all the believers to prepare for war with the imperial court." A maid said to the wife of the leader of the Shenlong Sect.

"The leader is really confused. I made it very clear before I returned to Shenlong Island. Today's court is no better than any previous court."

"Not only does the imperial court have an extremely powerful 100,000-strong heavenly army, but it has also recruited a large number of martial arts people from the Central Plains to join the Martial Arts Academy. It is absolutely impossible for our Shenlong Sect to stay out of this matter."

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty decided to withdraw from the capital and return to the outside world, the wife of the leader of the Shenlong Sect, who had been playing the fake queen mother in the harem of the capital, was completely obsolete.

Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty withdrew from the capital, Su Quan, who was pretending to be the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty in the palace, left the capital. After traveling around the Central Plains, she finally returned to Shenlong Island.

Su Quan, who returned to Shenlong Island, also proposed to Hong Antong to attach himself to the court.

But he was rejected by the stubborn Hong Antong.

On the other side, on the outskirts of Shenlong Island, there are dozens of warships.

"Master Tai, it seems that the Dragon Sect is not willing to obey His Majesty the Holy Emperor's will."

Gui Xinshu, who was on the deck of the warship, looked at the large number of followers on Shenlong Island preparing for war, and knew that the Shenlong Sect was still planning to resist.

"The Shenlong Cult occupies the entire Shenlong Island, and its core cult members number nearly ten thousand people. Its leader, Hong Antong, is an extremely stubborn old stubborn. If you want to make him submit, you can only suppress him through force."

"Tell General Qin and the others that there is no need to waste words with the Dragon Cult."

The leader of the army of dead soldiers who came to encircle Shenlong Island this time was Qin Hu. The 1,000 dead soldiers he led were all level 3 dead soldiers.

Moreover, after more than half a year of practice, all the third-level dead warriors, the worst of them now, have developed the internal strength of a second-rate master.

Coupled with the already strong physical fitness of all the third-level dead soldiers, any one of the 1,000 third-level dead soldiers can now face off against the original Hai Dafu without fear of any weird internal skills moves.

There are also a small number of dead soldiers who lead their cultivation, and their internal strength level is already comparable to that of Li Yang, and they have all reached the first-class level.

But above the first-class, there are also super first-class ones like Master Jiu Nan and Gui Xinshu.

Super-class internal strength masters are already the ceiling of combat power in this world.

According to Li Yang's plan, his goal was to make himself and more third-level dead soldiers reach a super-first-class level.

On the dock of Shenlong Island, a large number of Shenlong cultists gathered here, preparing to confront the imperial army.

There were only a thousand people in total who came to encircle and suppress Shenlong Island this time, which was several times less in number than the Shenlong Cult.

However, the total number of second-rate masters and first-rate masters among the nearly ten thousand members of the Shenlong Sect is only a few hundred.

The other Shenlong Cult members are just third-rate and inferior people.

With such fighting power, there is no way it can compete with the Legion of Death.

As for the first-class masters of the Shenlong Sect and the super-first-class master Hong Antong, they will be dealt with by Gui Xinshu and his wife and Master Jiu Nan.

"Fire the arrow!"

As the warships on the sea continued to approach, the Death Soldier Corps on the warships began to attack the Shenlong cultists on the shore.

Phew!

In an instant, a large number of arrows from the warships were fired at the large number of Shenlong cultists on the shore.

As for the followers of the Shenlong Sect, they are all people in the world.

They don't have any armor or any other protection.

At this moment, when these Shenlong Cultists faced the rain of arrows fired at them from the warships, they could only block with the long swords in their hands.

It's a pity that only second-rate masters can completely block these arrows. There are a large number of other inferior and third-rate masters. Faced with these arrows, hundreds of people will soon be killed by them.

As wave after wave of arrow rain came, the followers of the Shenlong Sect quickly retreated to the shore, looking for obstacles to avoid the arrow rain.

So after more than ten consecutive waves of arrows, all the warships docked and landed.

I saw the leader, Gui Xinshu, and other martial arts masters from the martial arts academy, directly charging into the members of the Shenlong Sect one by one.

At this time, Hong Antong also came with a group of masters from the Dragon Sect.

"Hong Antong, come and accept your fate!"

Gui Xinshu looked at Hong Antong from a distance, and immediately ignored the ordinary Shenlong cultists around him, but jumped up and ran towards Hong Antong quickly.

Soon, Gui Xinshu and Hong Antong were fighting fiercely.

"Damn it, why is the imperial court so aggressive?"

"Hong Antong, the current Holy Emperor is the chosen one. You and the Dragon Sect are stubborn and unwilling to obey the orders of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. You should be punished for your crimes."

"Suffer death, Hong Antong!"

Gui Xinshu had a pair of iron fists and started to fight hard at this moment.
Chapter completed!
