With a shout, Lin Bai retreated from the Loulan Ancient Army. He looked at the other end of the Beilu Mountain Range. There was a group of practitioners holding weapons in their hands, but standing casually like a pile of loose sand. Lin Bai secretly guessed that this was what Zhuo Lian was talking about.
The Dongzhou rebels!
"The Dongzhou rebels... It seems that a lot of things have happened in the four years since I left Dongzhou."
"Evil dragon!"
Lin Bai shouted in a low voice with an expressionless face.
"As ordered." The evil dragon naturally understood what Lin Bai meant, and immediately bowed and responded, then stepped forward.
When Zhuo Lian saw the evil dragon approaching alone, he hurriedly said to Lin Bai: "Brother Dongfang, although these rebels are like a piece of scattered sand, they are extremely numerous. Now that our legion is damaged, it is better not to confront them head-on. For the time being,
Evacuate, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then fight them to the death."
Lin Bai knew that Zhuo Lian was worried about the safety of the evil dragon. After all, even if he stepped forward alone, even if his cultivation level reached the sky, many ants would bite the elephant to death.
"It doesn't matter, just assemble the army and follow me back to the Lingnan Imperial City later."
Lin Bai said in a low voice.
"Uh, okay." Zhuo Lian was stunned for a moment, then responded and sent the order to assemble the army.
Seeing the heavy damage to the legion, which originally included hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now only 10,000 to 20,000 wounded and disabled soldiers, Zhuo Lian felt strong self-blame in his heart.
In the distance, the evil dragon was already fighting with the rebels, and an earth-shattering dragon roar was heard.
Immediately some soldiers in the legion shouted: "Dragon... dragon... dragon..."
"It's not a dragon! It's a dragon!"
"Mine, a living dragon."
The soldiers of the Yulong Army were trembling all over and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhuo Lian and the Seventy-Two Sword Cultivators of Xiandong Mountain looked back and saw an extremely ferocious evil dragon with fangs and claws, roaring to the heaven and earth, sound waves rolling and shattering a mountain range. The dragon's tail swung and the mountains became flat, and the five claws split and opened the mountain.
Riyue, under his swift and fierce offensive, the rebels were ruthlessly crushed into pieces like pieces of grass and trees.
It would be too easy for the evil dragon's cultivation in the Nine Tribulations realm to kill these rebels.
"This... what kind of cultivation is this!"
Zhuo Lian and others were horrified. Among their rebels, there were even strong men at the seventh or eighth level of the Ascension Realm. However, even such strong men were killed by the evil dragon in the blink of an eye.
No matter what kind of magic weapon, magic array, combined attack array, strong wind, thunder, flame, frost and other offensive attacks hit the evil dragon, they all seem to tickle him without hurting him at all!
In an instant, most of the tens of thousands of rebels were killed. The remaining ones fled in embarrassment, but the evil dragon opened its mouth and spat out an extremely powerful force that shattered thousands of mountains, leveled mountains and rivers, and leveled mountains and rivers.
Kill all the rebels who have escaped!
Then, the evil dragon swung its tail, flew its huge body over Lin Bai, circled around, lowered its head, and shouted with great respect: "Master, it's done."
Lin Bai walked up to the evil dragon's head, stood between the dragon's horns, and let the storm of heaven and earth sweep over him. He remained motionless like a pillar of heaven and shouted to Zhuo Lian: "Junior brother Zhuo Lian, it's time to go back."
The dragon swung its tail and soared into the sky, its deafening roar reverberating around the world, frightening all the creatures on the ground.
Holding a sword and ascending to the sky, riding a dragon and descending into the secluded mountains.
This kind of grace is enough to stand alone among the ancients.
Zhuo Lian felt extremely happy and shouted to the sky: "Shenwu Kingdom is saved. We finally waited until Lord Sword returned."
"All soldiers, follow me back to the Lingnan Imperial City."
"Today the Sword Prince roared and scared away the Loulan Ancient Kingdom. It is certain that the Qilin Prince of the Loulan Ancient Kingdom was frightened and did not dare to raise troops to invade the country in a short period of time."
"Let's go to the Imperial City."
Zhuo Lian shouted loudly and took out the battleships. Dozens of battleships followed the evil dragon in a mighty manner, all the way towards the Lingnan Imperial City.
On the way, Lin Bai deliberately asked the evil dragon to slow down to prevent the battleship behind him from being unable to keep up.
Zhuo Lian flew over, clasped his fists at Lin Bai next to the evil dragon and said, "Senior Brother Dongfang, you call me."
Lin Bai sighed softly: "I have been away from the Mangu Continent for almost four years. It seems that there are many things happening in the Mangu Continent that I don't know about. Please tell me in detail."
"Yes!" Zhuo Lian responded. Thousands of words immediately appeared in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuo Lian finally said: "Brother Dongfang, when you left the Mangu Continent four years ago, the Shenwu Kingdom had just stabilized the East Continent, and there were no wars. The world was at peace, the country was peaceful, and the people were safe, and the Shenwu Kingdom was also in peace.
Under His Majesty’s series of new policies, it has grown vigorously and is considered to be completely stable in Dongzhou.”
"But... the good times don't last long."
"The second year after Senior Brother Dongfang left, the Central Holy Kingdom used troops against Dongzhou. The Shenwu Kingdom and the Central Holy Kingdom fought for three months in Longhe County. Although they were not equally responsible, no one could win over the other."
"We thought this battle would be the beginning of a war between our Shenwu Kingdom and the Central Holy Kingdom."
"Unexpectedly, after the battle, seventy-two tribes including the Dihuang Tribe and the Jiange Tribe in Nanzhou, led by the Poison God Family, attacked the southern border of Dongzhou; at the same time, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom in Beizhou raised troops again
To invade the border, troops attack the northern border of Dongzhou."
"And the Central Holy Kingdom led its troops to attack the eastern border of Dongzhou."
"Even the group of old monks in Xizhou, who were said to be unconventional, entered the Lingnan Imperial City with the persuasive words of 'please His Majesty Emperor Xiao return to the Central Holy Kingdom to prevent the destruction of all life in the ancient continent', which made many generals and civil servants in Shenwu feel that they were old
The monks are right, they all have a rebellious heart."
"At the beginning, His Majesty Xiao Emperor was still able to control the situation."
"But in the past two years, Nanzhou, Beizhou, and the Central Holy Kingdom have increased their military strength at the same time, and the Shenwu Kingdom has been defeated step by step."
"More and more monks from the Xizhou Buddhist Land are pouring into the Lingnan Imperial City, and they have recovered a large number of important officials in the court as believers. It is not right to let His Majesty Xiao Emperor kill them, nor is it right not to kill them."
"Under the instigation and preaching of this group of old monks, many generals and aristocratic families in Shenwu Kingdom have left Shenwu Kingdom and formed a rebel army wandering around Dongzhou!"
Having said this, Zhuo Lian paused for a moment.
Lin Bai's face was cold: "It seems... it's a situation that is besieged on all sides! Where is the Barbarian Soul Society? Back then, I asked them to take care of the Shenwu Kingdom and ensure that the Shenwu Kingdom would not be invaded by the Central Holy Kingdom for at least three years. Why did they wait until I left?
In the second year of this, the Central Holy Kingdom dares to invade the territory?"
Zhuo Lian whispered: "Brother Dongfang, I don't know much about the Barbarian Soul Society. With my current strength and status, I am not qualified to contact the Barbarian Soul Society. It is estimated that only His Majesty Emperor Xiao and Senior Li Zhengyi are qualified to contact the Barbarian Soul Society."
Let them!"
"Senior Brother Dongfang can ask His Majesty Emperor Xiao after he returns to Lingnan Imperial City."
Lin Bai snorted coldly: "I want to ask, now that I'm back, no one who deserves revenge or anyone who deserves to be killed can escape!"
