After the outbreak of the Western barbarian war, the smoke rose in all directions, and the mountain bandits raised their flags in support of the Western barbarians. Or rather, it could be said that they were the people that the Western barbarians had planted in the Central Plains in the first place.

Since the invasion, the Western and Southern armies had advanced at a great pace. After entering the Central Region, the clans of the Western and Southern Sects had also joined forces in the Central Region.

Unexpectedly, the Southern Sword Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect began to retreat towards the north in the name of escorting the commoners and the young disciples of the clans.

On the other hand, not only did the Million Flows Sect not retreat to the north, they even brought people to support the Middle Earth.

There were a total of nine lines of defense in Central Land. Due to the combination of the troops from the second southwest region, they had fought with the Western barbarians for nearly half a year in the third and middle layers.

Although the civilians were trying their best to retreat, more people were trying to do so. The population of seventy to eighty million would definitely not retreat as fast as they did before. With the speed of the citizens, there was a distance of 1600 miles from the center of the Middle Land to the north looking for protection.

How could that be enough time without a year or two or more? This meant that the sects and aristocratic families in the Central Region would need to hold off nearly two million Western barbarians for at least a year.

After all, the Western barbarians were faster than the people of the Central Plains. If those ordinary commoners were caught up to, they would only die.

This was the first line of defense of the last three lines of defense. Facing the Western barbarian army, the Golden Crow Sect and the Myriad Flow Sect finally decided to move the remaining two lines of defense to the Golden Crow Sect's side.

The previous defensive line battle had let everyone conclude one point. Although that kind of arrangement was easy to retreat to, it was too easy to break one by one.

In order to provide a layer of protection for those who had retreated down the line of defense, the aristocratic families at the back line of defense were unable to go to the previous line of defense to provide any reinforcements.

This time, the Golden Crow Sect and the Myriad Flow Sect had decided to use their flesh and blood to buy enough time for the common people of the world to retreat.

In the tower of Golden Crow City, a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe stood with his hands behind his back as he looked at the smoke and fireworks flying in all directions. Just by standing there, he gave off the feeling that he was looking down upon the world.

Beside the middle-aged man stood a violet-robed middle-aged man with a golden cloud tattoo on his back. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his aura was no weaker than the violet-gold robed man.

Dressed in a purple and gold robe, this man was the Master of the Golden Crow Sect, the Sect Leader of the Golden Crow Sect, Inspector Xu.

The gates of the Golden Crow City opened, and a steady stream of refugees poured in before exiting through another door. This was the last batch of refugees.

A child looked up at Xu Xun and Zhang Yuan, clapped his hands and said with a bright smile,

"The Golden Crow, the East Ten Thousand Streams, is a place where the people lose their limbs.

The Golden Crow shall descend, and ten thousand streams shall flow, to guard the mountains and rivers until their blood dried up. "

When Xu Xun and Zhang Yuan heard this, they looked at the child. The child saw the two of them looking at him, so he cowered behind his mother. When his mother saw them looking at him, she immediately knelt down on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, the child's mother was pulled up by an invisible force. Xu Xun smiled and said, "We can't waste our escape time because of common etiquette. Let's go!"

The mother looked touched as she heard the news. She pulled her child and continued on their way.

At this time, two disciples of the Golden Crow Sect were rushing over from afar. Seeing their flustered expressions, Xu Xun couldn't help but frown.

"Report!" The two disciples who were below the city shouted as they knelt on one knee.

"Speak!" Xu Xun frowned.

"The western barbarians are quickly approaching. We can't delay them any longer!" The disciple shouted.

"Ai, brother Xu, let's go block it!" Zhang Yuan sighed as he looked at the civilians who had yet to leave.

"Block, of course block. What are you sighing for? The people of Central Earth, the west, and the south, listen to my orders. Those with over sixty percent of their power, follow me to stop the Western barbarians! " Xu Zhaogao shouted.

"Men of the east, listen up. Men of the sixty years of strength, follow me to stop the western barbarians!" Zhang Yuan shouted.

Following the orders given by the two of them, the two of them took the lead and rushed forward. In an instant, densely packed people dressed in different outfits appeared in Golden Crow City, each of them performing a lightness technique as they followed Xu Xun and Zhang Yuan.

The number of people who had suddenly appeared didn't look to be less than ten thousand.

Ten thousand martial artists with one set of skills and one set of sixty years old were nothing to fear.

This ten thousand strong warriors could be said to be the backbone of the Central Plains. If the Western barbarians had the ability to kill them all, then the Central Plains would not be far from being destroyed.

They stepped onto the treetops, and once these ten thousand people appeared, they formed a black mass. The disciples that were rushing about couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the sky, and they occasionally saw some familiar figures in the black mass.

"Isn't that the Sect Leader?" A young man said to the person beside him.

"There's also the Grand Elder."

"No, no, no. The second and third elder are both here."

This kind of scene made every sect's young man's blood boil. They knew what their seniors were doing, because their seniors were rushing towards the western barbarian army that was said to have two million soldiers.

The Western barbarians looked at the ten thousand men running towards them, and one of them mocked, "These few people want to fight with so many of us? In the words of the Central Plains, wasn't it like a mantis trying to block a car? "Haha …"

With that said, the people around him were all amused by him.

No matter how one looked at it, a battle between ten thousand people and two million strong army was just like being crushed. In reality, it was not the main force. If they were to fight, it would indeed be the case.

The western barbarians also have people with sixty years of cultivation within them, and there are even people who are on par with the leaders of the five great sects.

However, it was different if he could hold it off. His kung fu skills were high, and his skills were deep. He could come and go freely in the army of a million.

Deep in the south, in a village filled with the stench of corpses, there was a small room. The owner of this small room was already dead. At this moment, two middle-aged men sat inside.

One was dressed in a purple dragon robe while the other was in a purple black dragon robe. The room was filled with dust, except for the two people sitting on the chairs and the table in front of them.

Of these two people, one was the Sect Master of the Storm Sect, the other was the High Lord of the Devil Dao, Yuanshan.

"The Western barbarians invaded. The entire world and the martial arts world are in ruins, and the people don't live in peace. Yet, at this time, you, the distant mountain, made me suffer so much!" The leader gritted his teeth as he stared angrily at the distant mountain path.

"You spent so much effort to kill me and my people, if I don't hide, do I have to expose my neck to cut it for you? You, a million members of the great sects and families, can't stop the Western Iron Cavalry? " Yuan Shan also stared furiously at the common master.

"Hmph, the Western barbarians have been plotting for a long time. The Southern Sword Sect and the Cloud Sky Sect are all indecisive, how would I dare to block the Western barbarians with all my might?" The co-owner stood up and snorted.

"You didn't dare to block the Western barbarians with all your might, so you dared to destroy the martial arts world, and you dared to leave the people in the world in disarray?" Yuan Shan angrily slammed the table as he shouted.
