Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1423 - 601: Two Armies Face Off

"At your command!"

Li Yunjing clasped his fists in response, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He turned and whispered a few words to Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing beside him, and the two quickly left the camp to gather the "Law Enforcement Hall" personnel, responsible for overseeing the battle.

The "Law Enforcement Hall" now had a total of twelve Golden Core cultivators.

Apart from the four from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," five more joined successively later.

These people came from different factions with a unified purpose — to occupy a leadership position within the "Law Enforcement Hall" and to voice opinions on behalf of their sects and clans.

At this moment, the "Law Enforcement Hall" was assembled, lined up outside the tent, waiting.

Li Yunjing gripped the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" and said in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, today’s battle concerns the survival of the East Sea. Anyone who flees from the battle will be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Upon Li Yunjing’s command, the twelve Golden Core cultivators of the Law Enforcement Hall immediately split into four groups, taking their subordinates, the law enforcement disciples, each wielding a treasure artifact, heading to various sites in the "Holy Sound Sea Region" and awaiting orders.

Wen Bin held the "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror," its mirror surface emitting a blue light as it scanned various locations.

He and Liao Wanqing were considered the mobile force, responsible for patrolling the various battlefields.

After the "Law Enforcement Hall" took action, the Five Elements Master, Feiyun Master, and Saint Sound Fairy began summoning the main forces of the "East Sea Alliance," converging towards the "Holy Sound Sea Region."

Originally, there were already 300,000 troops from the alliance here.

Adding the "Holy Sound Sect" and its affiliated sects and clans, not considering cultivation level, just by quantity, there were millions of cultivators here.

Of course, nearly ninety percent were Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

These numbers look intimidating, but in the eyes of experts, a single divine technique could cause thousands of low-tier cultivators to fall, and numbers do not provide more combat power.

Even with array support, the mana provided by Qi Refining Realm cultivators is too little.

Only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can exert the strongest combat power within the array.

Therefore, many giant sects, when forming cultivator armies, set the minimum cultivation level as Foundation Establishment Realm, and will not recruit Qi Refining Realm cultivators for the main battles.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators, apart from patrolling and maintaining order, doing some trivial chores, cannot provide martial support.

At this moment, after orders from the Five Elements Master and all the vice alliance hierarchs, more armies began to converge from all directions of the "East Sea Alliance."

These are the main forces!

All are Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and above!

At the same time, the three great powers of the Sea Race stated that upon returning, they would command thousands of Sea Race species, ambushing the supply lines of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" in the vast deep sea.

As for why not to collaborate with the "East Sea Alliance" for a frontal battle against the "Celestial Net Dao Sect"?

Before the Demon Race in the "Youlan Mountain Range" appeared, showcasing treasures capable of resisting the "Mountain and River Map" level, the East Sea Sea Race didn’t want to gamble everything on the "East Sea Alliance."

If they lost, they’d be finished.

By just being on the sidelines now, even if the main forces of the "East Sea Alliance" were to crumble, they could still retreat with the main forces into the deepest parts of the East Sea.

With the ocean boundless, if they couldn’t survive in the East Sea, they’d keep heading south, towards the South Sea.

There would always be a place to settle.

Seven days, just a few days!

When the last contingent of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from the "East Sea Alliance" stepped into the "Holy Sound Sea Region," the entire world suddenly trembled.

If viewed from afar, the entire "Holy Sound Sea Region" merged into a colorful light barrier, the sea and sky connected as one.

The oval sea region, densely packed with cultivators, moved incessantly like ants, converging towards the frontline close to the deep blue ocean.

And on the other side of the colorful light barrier was the frontline of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

On the sea horizon, pitch-black clouds, dark as ink, gathered and rolled at a speed visible to the naked eye, exuding a silent aura as if the heavens were about to collapse.

The "Celestial Net Dao Sect" did not launch an immediate attack.

In recent years, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" had continuously captured two sea regions, and their losses were not insignificant.

The main battleships needed repairs, and some war instruments also had damages; whether repaired or replaced, these all took time.

As for the injured?

That was irrelevant, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" directly pulled them back for recuperation, as a top-tier sect, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" had not yet fallen to relying on wounded soldiers to fight.

Observing closely, Li Yunjing noticed that within the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" there weren’t only cultivators purely from the sect.

Endless warships with various insignias from different sects and clans were present, clearly indicating that a significant number of cultivators had defected to the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

Their setup was almost identical to the "East Sea Alliance."

The only difference being that those who joined the "East Sea Alliance" had relatively more freedom and rights; whereas the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" was more domineering — those who followed lived and those against perished.

These were all vassal armies, cannon fodder.

Disobey orders, executed without pardon.

This structure had its advantages and disadvantages; the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" maintained strength, and the subordinates dared not resist, complying unconditionally with their orders.

However, if the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" ever showed weakness, the subordinates would undoubtedly retaliate, either fleeing or turning against those who faced the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

Since the initial contact between the two sides, large-scale war hadn’t broken out; instead, patrol teams clashed at various crucial boundary points.
