The 30 powerful warriors intended to launch a sneak attack. Just as Lu Li had guessed, they wanted to kill some of Lu Li's families and capture some of Lu Li's family members.
Lu Li was the soul of the Grim Reaper. It was said that Lu Li valued his family members very much. When his family members were captured, Lu Li would have to either quit the war or surrender to them.
Lu Li was the leader of the 10 masters. If Lu Li were to quit, the Alliance of 10 would be disbanded at once, which would tip the balance to the Tong Race and the Gang Race.
However, as soon as they arrived at the Tian Yue City, they found themselves ambushed.
They had been waiting for them to sneak into their pockets. The Teleportation Altar was closed and the shield was activated.
The Teleportation Altar had been closed, and the Great City Barrier Array had been activated. They had nowhere to run and could only fight to the death.
If they could kill their way to the Lu Residence and capture some of Lu Li's family members, there was a chance to turn the tables.
According to their intelligence, none of Lu Li's family members were powerful warriors. One of them could take down all of them.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as they took out their weapons, they realized something was wrong.
This was because they felt an invisible force suppressing them, causing their Source Qi to become chaotic.
Source energy was the source of strength for all powerful warriors. Without it, they could not use many moves and their abilities would be reduced to less than 30%.
"Hmm!"
The Winged Sovereign and the others laughed coldly. Their bodies shot forward like wild dragons, surrounding the thirty experts.
The 30 powerful warriors were taken aback by how fast Sovereign of Wings and the others were. Their abilities were not affected at all.
They were all close to the consummate realm. One side's abilities were suppressed by 70% while the other side was unaffected. There was no doubt about the outcome of the battle.
The powerful warriors from the Immortal Region took out their weapons and fought with all their might. They also used many strange skills. But in the end, they were killed one by one.
"Impressive!"
Lu Li was shocked by what he saw.
He did not know that the Tian Yue City he had lived in for so many years had such a miraculous formation.
Since it was a formation around him, Lu Li did not ask Blood Fairy to check, fearing that the other leaders would be offended.
Lu Li put his mind at ease when most of the powerful warriors were killed or captured.
When he was about to retract his psychic power, a Great Patriarch came out from the Hall of Patriarchs and dashed toward the Lu Residence.
The Elders Hall was very close to the Lu Mansion. They arrived at the Grand Elder's residence in an instant.
"Alright!"
Gu Yushan's face was filled with bitterness. He stopped attacking. The Winged Monarch's reputation was still pretty good.
He could not run away now, nor could he capture Lu Li's family and friends. He could not run away. Death was his only option.
Now that he could protect his family, it was a good ending.
The battle ended quickly. Of the 30 powerhouses who were infinitely close to the Great Perfection realm, 23 had been killed, and 7 had been captured.
Gu Yushan and the two Saint King Elders were captured. Other than a few castles being destroyed and a few civilians being accidentally killed, there were no other losses.
The danger was over. The patriarchs began to make arrangements. Lu Li could put his mind at ease.
Looking at the situation in Skyreach City, unless a Paragon came to attack, any ordinary expert who was infinitely close to a Paragon would die if they wanted to launch a sneak attack.
Of course, they could also attack from the outside and destroy the entire Skymoon City. In that case, the array formation within the city would be useless.
Lu Li turned his attention to the Purple Cloud Region.
The battle here was still fierce. Another one million warriors had been killed or injured. Many Great Patriarchs were injured.
But the number of Great Patriarchs that had died was decreasing. Both sides were afraid. Or maybe, neither side wanted to risk their lives. After such a long time, only one had died.
Time flew by. Soon, half a day had passed. The Hall of Apotheosis ordered a retreat.
The Tong Race retreated as well. Over half of the millions of warriors had been killed or injured. Nearly 20 of the dozens of warriors who were infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm had passed away. The rest were wounded. The battle was evenly matched.
"Get ready!"
Grand Master of the Hall of Apotheosis ordered. Many Teleportation Altars had been built in the base camp. Some of the powerful warriors left first, followed by the armies.
Teleportation Formations were built in the base camp as well, which could hide the outside from detection. There were only 10 million warriors here. The powerful warriors had to leave first. The armies didn't matter. The Hall of Apotheosis wouldn't care if all of them were killed.
In just two hours, all the powerful warriors had left, followed by the armies.
When the armies were leaving, they were noticed by the Tong Race.
They had deployed so many scouts. How could they not notice such a large-scale retreat?
The higher-ups of the Tong Race held an emergency meeting. At the same time, a large number of powerful warriors infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm came to investigate. Finally, they confirmed that the Hall of Apotheosis was indeed retreating.
After half of the Hall of Apotheosis army had left, the higher-ups of the Tong Race ordered a full-scale pursuit.
The Tong Clan's army and experts charged over. The runes here were destroyed one by one, and the army here was slaughtered.
There were three to four million soldiers left here. They were slaughtered mercilessly. Not a single captive was left.
Boom, boom, boom!
After most of the soldiers were massacred, the ground below suddenly lit up with rays of light, followed by a terrifying explosion.
This was set up by the Hall of Apotheosis. If they just left like that, they would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Setting up a Divine Rune Formation here to attack the enemies could explain that they were pretending to retreat. Their real goal was to use the Divine Rune Formation to blow up the armies and powerful warriors of the Tong Race.
The Divine Rune Formation was indeed very powerful. It had wounded more than a dozen powerful beings who were infinitely close to the consummate level, and killed two of them. The Tong Clan army was torn apart in droves, and over a million of them had been killed.
"So cruel. They even blew up their own soldiers …"
The powerful warriors infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm that escaped looked at each other. The Hall of Apotheosis was blowing up their own soldiers. They had been prepared to use them as bait.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, they would all have been killed.
"Continue the chase!
We can't let their main force escape. "
The leader of the Tong Race ordered. He didn't care about the tricks of the Hall of Apotheosis. Exchanging three to four million soldiers for more than a million and two powerful warriors infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm seemed like a good deal.
But that wasn't the case.
They had set up here for so long to achieve this result. They were clearly at their wits' end.
