Controlling Wanyan Shahe's body allows control over the earth veins, enabling control over the already manifested Endless Sand Realm, and further establishing the Ten Thousand Miles Cliff Great Wall.

To this end, Sha Qian has been plotting for a long time.

Unfortunately, the earth veins have too much influence on Sha Lingzi, preventing Sha Qian from resolving Wanyan Shahe's consciousness of resistance.

While mastering Wanyan Shahe's body, Sha Qian also sensed a special power spreading within the earth veins, and he lost control over the portion of the earth veins where that power spread.

Without turning his head, Sha Qian instructed the Sand Envoy behind him, "Go deal with that person."

The Sand Envoy, upon hearing, responded, "Yes."

Under his lead, several Sand Envoys left the Sand King Hall, heading to the City Lord's Mansion to intercept and kill Chu Tiange.

As the Sand Envoys left the Sand King Hall, they didn't notice a man standing in a nearby building, covered in blood with tattered armor.

Song Ming saw them flying towards the City Lord's Mansion and silently tore a piece of cloth to bind his abdominal wound, enduring the pain as he hurried in that direction.

Although his Divine Soldiers had been taken by the enemy, he was not dead, albeit heavily injured.

By chance, he discovered the "origin" of the group attacking him and hid nearby to watch.

He originally planned to notify others to take over monitoring this entrance and exit.

But now seeing them flying towards the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't have time to find others, so he quickly rushed to the mansion to warn Chu Tiange to be cautious of those people.

While on the road, Song Ming used the Communication Talisman to send a message to Chu Tiange.

Due to Chu Tiange being too close to the earth veins and influenced by them, the message via the Communication Talisman failed to reach him.

Song Ming received no reply from Chu Tiange and didn't know if he got the message, so he sped up his pace towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The Sand Envoys from the Sand King Hall charged into the misty City Lord's Mansion, unaffected by the fog as they headed straight towards the direction of the earth veins' entrance.

Lu Yu keenly detected the sound of their movement, unfurling his senses to "see" Sha Eli, Sha Lan, Sha Tong, and others heading this way.

So many people, I'm no match for them, what should I do?

"Roar~" A giant white tiger rushed out, charging at the few people. Sha Tong saw the white tiger and stood up to intercept it.

The many leaders formed an array, conjuring a white tiger's phantom, which began to fight with Sha Tong. Left arriving were only Sha Eli and Sha Lan.

Neither Sha Eli nor Sha Lan is a match for Lu Yu by himself, so he planned to get Chu Tiange out to avoid the risk.

"Stop!"

Song Ming shouted aloud, his voice shattering the surrounding mist, revealing the figures of Sha Eli, Sha Lan, and Sha Tong.

"Enter the formation!"

Song Ming leaped up, descending onto the white tiger phantom.

Upon hearing, the leaders shifted their formation to catch Song Ming and formed a new White Tiger Slaughter Array, exponentially increasing its power with Song Ming at its forefront.

Unfortunately, Song Ming's Divine Soldiers were lost, or else the White Tiger Slaughter Array led by him might have been able to fend off Sha Eli, Sha Lan, and Sha Tong.

Song Ming controlled the White Tiger Slaughter Array, holding the three of them back.

Sha Eli punched out, colliding with the giant white tiger's claw without discernible advantage.

Song Ming felt a strong impact spreading inside the white tiger; others helped him share most of the force, allowing him to withstand Sha Eli's punch.

A sand pillar shot up into the sky as the white tiger continuously dodged.

Despite the good coordination among the team, unfamiliarity still led to an eventual mistake amidst the high-intensity dodging, with the white tiger hit by the sand pillar, blasted towards the sky.

From the sky, sand spikes fell like a torrential rain, sharp spikes piercing through the white tiger's phantom, injuring many leaders during the attack.

Just as Lu Yu was about to assist Song Ming and the others, he suddenly thought, why did the Sand King Hall act against Chu Tiange now?

Is it because Chu Tiange threatens their interests?

The Sand King Hall's interest is to establish the "Ten Thousand Miles Cliff Great Wall." If I let these people go to influence Chu Tiange's progress, would that be helping the Sand King Hall establish the Ten Thousand Miles Cliff Great Wall?

But before that, I need to extricate myself.

Lu Yu shouted into the cave, "General Song Ming is still alive; he's fiercely battling the enemies who entered the City Lord's Mansion. It's looking grave—should I go help him?"

Chu Tiange heard Lu Yu's voice, looked up at the top, but could only see a circular hole.

He glanced at the earth vein's orrery, which needed no personal control, meaning he need not stay for protection.

Thinking of the Divine Soldiers in his ring, he took it out and threw it up the hole, saying, "Go help him, and return the Divine Soldiers to him."

Lu Yu caught the flying Divine Soldiers, glanced at the hole, and subtly scanned over a ruin, then headed towards the direction of the fight holding the Divine Soldiers.

"General Song, catch the sword!" Lu Yu shouted loudly.

He threw the Divine Soldiers towards the white tiger. Song Ming, upon hearing the sound, turned to see the flying divine sword, and felt the blood connection—it was indeed his Divine Soldiers.

With a thought, the Divine Soldiers flew into the white tiger phantom. Under Song Ming's control, the white tiger's claws gleamed with sharpness, greatly enhancing its attack power.

Swipe~ The white tiger slapped down, tearing the ground as the three evaded and retreated.

Taking advantage of the retreat before they could regain their strength, a slash was made.

A dazzling line dividing day and night swept across the skies; the blade's light slashed through Sha Tong, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
