Chapter 1498: The Collapsed Southern Front!

After two days of recovery and recuperation, the Ancient Dragon Empress’ physical and mental trauma had both been completely healed.

She was once again the high and mighty fourth heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect!

She was going to show her students that she was still their teacher!

She was going to recover her authority today!

All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect Return to Void Stage mighty figures had already gathered at the drill grounds.

An Lin arrived at the venue hand in hand with Xu Xiaolan, and he encouraged in a warm voice, “Don’t be too nervous. Just perform to the best of your abilities. In my heart, you’re the best no matter what!”

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “You sound like a parent who is about to send their child into an examination venue! This is just a simple trial. ”

“This is a very important trial! The Ancient Dragon Empress has worked so hard for us, so you have to work hard in return and leave her with a deep impression!” An Lin spoke with a solemn expression.

The Ancient Dragon Empress’ eyelids twitched upon hearing the words “deep impression”.

However, her dao heart was very firm, and she soon quelled her uneasiness and turned to face Xu Xiaolan with renewed confidence.

Xu Xiaolan and her phoenix took the stage at the same time. This came as no surprise to anyone, including the Ancient Dragon Empress, as it was a well-known fact that the Divine Phoenix Maiden always battled with her phoenix by her side.

She did say that if the students were scared, they could form partnerships to battle her…

But she was still grumbling internally! How could a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure be scared? Two Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures against one teacher? What a shameless duo!

“Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, please enlighten me.” Xu Xiaolan extended a respectful bow.

“Chirp,” the phoenix also spoke in a polite voice.

The Ancient Dragon Empress returned pleasantries before looking at the two of them with a solemn expression.

She had grasped the nightmarish difficulty of teaching at the Four Nine Immortal Sect two days ago. However, she was not one to back down or cower easily. Otherwise, she would not be worthy of her title as a heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect!

“Come!” the Ancient Dragon Empress said with firm conviction in her eyes.

Right at this moment.

Tina’s voice transmission talisman suddenly lit up.

She picked up the voice transmission talisman, and an urgent male voice sounded, “Bad news, Goddess Tina! A massive battle has erupted in the Gem State with the Heavenly Human Tribe, Blood Tribe, and Void Spirit Tribe combining to create an army of over thirty million… Qiu Guang City has already fallen, and over half of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army have been killed or wounded.

“The four Return to Void Stage mighty figures of the Realm Pavilion, Tian Shi, Hua Kui, Nan Linghua, Zhong Chenggu, as well as the Return to Void Stage Felicia from the Blood Pavilion and six Return to Void Stage mighty figures from the Kingdom of the Nine States have all fallen in battle! We’re currently retreating toward Nan Chao City and… They’re coming… Ah…!”

A wail of anguish erupted.

The voice transmission talisman fell silent.

The Ancient Dragon Empress, Xu Xiaolan, and the phoenix had also abandoned their match to turn toward Tina.

“What’s going on with the Heavenly Human Tribe army at the southern front? They’ve deployed all of their troops at once?” In Liu Qianhuan’s experience, the Heavenly Human Tribe had always been quite cautious in their approach, and it was very rare for them to deploy a massive army in the tens of millions like this.

Everyone fell silent, and their expressions became extremely grave.

Even though no Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures had fallen, the fact that over half of the united army had been wounded or killed alongside eleven Return to Void Stage casualties was already a cause for great concern.

Tina turned to look at An Lin. “Giant An Lin, I have to go now. The Realm Pavilion is responsible for the Southern front, so I have to be there.”

Cassidy and Merlin also stood up.

The Blood Pavilion and the Realm Pavilion were both responsible for the southern front, so they had to provide reinforcements too.

“Hold on.” An Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. “Why don’t we do something big this time?”

“Do something big? What do you mean?” Liu Qianhuan’s eyes also lit up, as if An Lin’s excitement was contagious.

“We’ve got so many people here…” An Lin smiled. “Let’s make a concerted effort to completely eradicate the presence of the Heavenly Human Tribe from the southern line!!!”

“Gasp…”

Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this.

Even the Ancient Dragon Empress and Raphaella had been completely dumbstruck.

“G… Giant An Lin, what are you saying?” Tina murmured.

“Do you know how powerful the Heavenly Human Tribe army on the southern front is? Setting aside their numbers, they have several hundred Soul Piercing Stage generals, about a dozen or so Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, and even a legendary Divine Heaven Stage powerful being and a Heavenly God among their ranks…” Xuanyuan Cheng cautioned in an urgent voice, “Please don’t do anything rash!”

“I’m not being rash or impulsive here…” An Lin turned toward everyone. “Sometimes, one breakthrough is all that’s needed to turn the tables on an entire battle. My return is the exact catalyst we need for this breakthrough!”

Everyone’s heart wavered upon hearing this.

However, Xu Xiaolan poured a bucket of cold water over everyone’s flames of enthusiasm. “All of our powerful beings are being watched by the Heavenly Human Tribe. As soon as we appear on any of the fronts, the Heavenly Human Tribe would make strategic adjustments. If Little Huang and I were to appear on the southern front, the Heavenly Human Tribe army on the northern front would immediately take this opportunity to increase their offensive output, thereby placing our army in the north under extreme pressure… In other words, Little Huang and I must guard the northern front at all times!”

This war had progressed for several decades, and both sides were already aware of the powerful beings among their enemy forces. As such, all of them had to be very careful about what they did in case one false move adversely affected the entire war.

“If Xiaolan and Little Huang can’t go, we wouldn’t be able to do much, even with An Lin’s inclusion as a surprise weapon. I don’t think it’s possible for us to vanquish the entire Heavenly Human Tribe army on the southern front,” Su Qianyun said in an unconfident, mellow voice.

Everyone had already considered pooling together forces to dominate one front first.

However, the reality was that it was simply unfeasible.

“Who said I’m going to be the only surprise weapon?” An Lin smiled. “What if the Celestial Thearch, the Great Empress, Shangguan Yi, and Meng Zhi were all thrown into the mix?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“Holy crap, I almost forgot about them! The Celestial Thearch! He’s the most powerful being in the Kingdom of the Nine States! Imagine what a surprise weapon like him would be able to do!” Xuanyuan Cheng was extremely excited.

“The Great Empress of the snow maidens is also an extremely powerful Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure. With Meng Zhi and Shangguan Yi in addition to them, our forces would receive a significant boost!” Xu Xiaolan nodded.

“Even if we can’t vanquish the entire Heavenly Human Tribe on the southern front, we’ll at least give them a battle to remember!” Merlin’s eyes also lit up with roaring flames.

“I said we’re going to destroy the entire Heavenly Human Tribe army on the southern front, and we’ll definitely be able to do so,” An Lin said with an extremely serious expression before turning to Xu Xiaolan and the phoenix. “You should come with us as we have more chemistry in battle together. I’ll leave the Great Empress, Meng Zhi, and Shangguan Yi here to guard the northern front. That way, we can give the Heavenly Human Tribe army of the northern front a surprise as well…”

Xu Xiaolan’s eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea!”

Xu Xiaolan would descend upon the southern front, luring the Heavenly Human Tribe army of the northern front into thinking that there was a vulnerability for them to exploit. Three extremely powerful snow maidens would then strike them with an unexpected, lethal blow…

Just the thought of it made everyone extremely excited.

However, An Lin showed no signs of stopping there. He turned toward the Ancient Dragon Empress and Raphaella with a sincere and friendly smile…
