276 The Eye of Death and the Reincarnation of the Goddess of War
After Ye Changtian led his army to Hexi.
The weather in Dingbeicheng is getting colder and colder.
It should be early spring, but it seems like severe winter is approaching.
The King of Zhenbei walked slowly on the tower of Dingbei City.
Repair work on the city wall is in full swing.
But the people from Northern Xinjiang did not send troops to stop them.
There are no signs of siege, and it seems that they just want to spend time here with the Zhenbei Army.
King Zhenbei clasped his hands slightly behind his back, looking quietly at the looming Jin Kingdom camp on the horizon, lost in thought for a moment.
Zhu Gongqi, the commander-in-chief of the army, came to the city tower and quickly walked to the side of King Zhenbei. He clasped his fists and saluted respectfully——
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people from Northern Xinjiang will not launch an attack for a while."
"...The conditions in Dingbeicheng are extremely difficult. Let's leave this place to Xiaozhu. Your Majesty, why don't you drive back to Yanmen Pass or Yanbeicheng to coordinate and command the army remotely."
Zhu Gongqi said.
When the King of Zhenbei heard this, he smiled softly.
"General Xiaozhu, if the late king commanded the army here, would you also advise him to return to Yanbei like this?"
Zhu Gongqi was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Zhu Gongqi continued to bite the bullet and said——
"The former king is the former king, and the king is the king."
Zhu Gongqi thought about it, "The two cannot be spoken of together."
"...The king still needs to think more about himself."
"General Xiaozhu is worried about my king's good intentions, and I understand."
The King of Zhenbei said, bowing his head slightly, and he also had ulterior motives in the second half of his sentence. Zhu Gongqi was flattered and saluted with clasped fists.
"...But that day, under Dingbei City, many generals from your army came out, but no one could defeat Wanyan Lingxu."
"Dingbeicheng needs me to be in charge."
"...Otherwise, the tragedy like that of old General Yan Tiange will only happen again."
Zhu Gongqi had no words to refute.
While the two were talking, information from the Western Regions suddenly arrived.
...This was sent personally by the Zhenbei secret guards.
As early as the beginning of the war, the King of Zhenbei strictly ordered the Zhenbei army, secret guards, and palace officials not to use flying pigeons to communicate with each other.
Acting secret agent Yi Qiuyue, wearing a dark-colored striped uniform, obtained a secret message for the King of Zhenbei.
King Zhenbei opened it with one hand and glanced at the contents of the letter.
He then smiled softly.
The blue and golden inner energy emerged from his hand, and the secret letter turned into powder.
"The current war has been going on for more than half a year."
King Zhenbei said, and people around him echoed his words.
He looked at the Jin Kingdom camp and continued: "...Now, it's time to end."
…
at night.
Inside the Jin Kingdom camp, patrols are tight.
Wanyan Lingxu sat quietly in the gorgeous and majestic king's tent, closed her eyes and meditated, and the inner energy aura around her body condensed and formed like a substance.
It is different from the immortal gods and Buddhas believed in by the Central Plains people.
People in northern Xinjiang regard "Cangtian" as the eternal and supreme god, so they call it "the Sky of Eternal Life".
but……
The Queen Mother, with her complete appearance and spiritual weakness, had been thinking about it since she was a child——
Immortals in this world are illusory existences, and witch doctors in northern Xinjiang are mostly pretenders.
Then this "Eternal Life Heaven" may be nothing more than a human effort or deception.
Until that day, she became the Queen Mother of the Council of Government. In the second year of ruling the Jin Kingdom, she went to the far north and accidentally entered the ruins of the female war goddess in Northern Xinjiang.
In front of the [Three Lives Stone], Wanyan Lingxu experienced her past life and awakened the power of her past life. Only then did she believe that there really were immortals in the world.
The Immortal Heaven exists.
Reincarnation also exists.
She awakened the memory of her past life, and it turned out that she was really the one chosen by the "Immortal Heaven"! She was the reincarnation of the invincible female war goddess in the legend of Northern Xinjiang during the immortal period!
She is the one destined to lead the rise of the Jin Kingdom and go south to the Central Plains.
Suddenly, Wanyan Lingxu's eyes opened, and the surrounding physical energy aura disappeared.
The blue-eyed golden mane flew back from outside the king's tent and landed on Wanyan Lingxu's shoulder.
In one of its dangling claws, it held tightly a homing pigeon from the Southern Daqian.
The document carried on the pigeon's leg was opened by Wanyan Lingxu.
This is a document from Zhao Lingrui, the new crown prince of Daqian, requesting King Zhenbei to support Hexi. (1)
Wanyan Lingxu smiled lightly when he saw the letter.
"Dagan, do you have no more strength left to mobilize more troops?"
"...The emptiness is internally consumed. Then, as soon as the northern land is broken, the iron hooves of my son from Northern Xinjiang can go straight into the Central Plains!"
"...The war may be able to end earlier."
…
late at night.
Inside Dingbei City.
King Zhenbei leaned over slightly and observed the topography and troop layout around Dingbei City on the map.
He has decided to fight with the Jin army to decide the outcome.
The bead curtain on Jiuzhao's crown swayed slightly.
Suddenly, a ball of fluorescent energy gathered in front of Wang Gu.
Then he turned into a human form and slowly approached.
Fantasy and strange.
But the King of Zhenbei was not surprised.
As if he had expected it, he continued to look at the map without raising his head, and said directly——
"You're here."
"If you are willing to spend your destiny points to call me out, I will naturally come out."
The voice of the humanoid energy is sometimes like a royal sister and sometimes like a lolita. It is beautiful and sweet but also a little weird.
Distinguishing its timbre is the will of the world that was originally transformed into a system.
Since the death of Shen Yupei, the five-united world has become more stable, and the power of the world's will is now becoming more concentrated and powerful.
It can already take on the form of an energy humanoid.
"...Is something the matter?" the humanoid energy asked amid fluctuations.
"Bring something to Yanbei for me. Then, deliver it to Lingxin or Yueling."
King Zhenbei said as he slowly took off a gem ring from his fingers.
On the ring, there is a striking scarlet blood gem, like an eye of death.
This ring was the Yan Family Quan Ring that Cheng Huanian handed over to Yan Wulu on behalf of Yan Dong before he left the Zhenbei Army.
"This ring..."
The humanoid energy said, hesitated to speak, and finally just replied indifferently, "Okay, I'll take care of it."
"... By the way, your Blue Sea Clone Technique has surpassed Amaro and reached the highest level. You can travel through space. Can't you do this kind of thing easily yourself?"
"I can't leave here at will yet." King Zhenbei said directly.
"... Wanyan Lingxu is extremely powerful. Her consciousness has always been paying attention to Dingbei City. If I leave, if there is any slight loophole, she will catch it instantly."

King Zhenbei said quietly, then added as if recalling——
"And, she's very smart."
"...It has both great strength and incomparable resourcefulness. Among all the enemies we have encountered in the past, there is no one that can compare with it."
"...Except for my father and Zhao Purui, I don't think there is anyone who can suppress the other party with their wits."
Hearing this, the humanoid energy seemed to chuckle.
"You underestimate yourself and overestimate your enemies."
"You are my chosen collaborator and the spokesperson of this world."
"...In this world, you are invincible."
The humanoid energy spoke like a reminder.
King Zhenbei raised his gaze slightly, "I know."
"...I'm just a little curious about the source of the other party's power. It's incredible to see such changes in just a few years."
"If you are willing to spend your destiny points, I can do it for you and answer your questions." The humanoid energy said as if it was inducement.
"It doesn't have to be like this." King Zhenbei simply refused.
"Okay, that's up to you."
The humanoid energy said helplessly, "...I don't know if you don't want to rely on my power, or if you are reluctant to part with your destiny points."
"...But as long as you don't get defeated."
"It's time for you to go to Yanbei." King Zhenbei finished.
The humanoid energy seems a little speechless again.
But to get people's destiny points, you have to do things for them, that is, you don't say much, and then disappear.
…
…
The next day.
Outside Dingbei City.
The Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang devoted all the strength of the country and dispatched a total of 800,000 troops.
Such a huge army is powerful enough to destroy the entire world, but at the same time, it is like a bottomless pit. Every time it stays for one more day, a mountain of food, cattle and sheep will disappear.
A long-term confrontation will put great pressure on the Jin Kingdom's rear and will do no good.
For the Zhenbei Army, the war situation in the south is gradually getting out of the way, and the Hexi area is in danger of a flanking attack. It is also disadvantageous to spend a long time in Dingbei City.
The Zhenbei Army and the Jin Army agreed to fight today.
Wanyan Lingxu had no intention of agreeing.
But then she thought about it, recalling that day when the King of Zhenbei attacked Dingbei City, none of the thousands of Northern Xinjiang generals could be his enemy...
She was a little curious and wanted to know how strong King Zhenbei was now.
So, she agreed to the other party's ancient method of fighting.
The two sides followed the ancient method and agreed to set up their positions on a plain ten miles outside Dingbei City for the final decisive battle.
In front of the two armies, the Queen Mother of Northern Xinjiang and the King of Zhenbei of Northern Territory drove their horses forward respectively.
Wanyan Lingxu was wearing a jeweled armor.
Under the dim sunlight, his whole body seemed to be shining, and the huge red agate on his chest was burning like a ball of flame.
"Since the last time we said goodbye outside the royal city, it has been four or five years since we last met like this with King Zhenbei."
Wanyan Lingxu was riding on a red-maned horse and looked at the approaching man quietly, his eyes were ruthless and colorless.
"Yeah, long time no see."
The King of Zhenbei responded calmly, and the black cloud horse under him slowly moved forward, "...Now, the Queen Mother is much more powerful than she was back then."
"...The last time we fought in Dingbeicheng, I was unable to meet the Queen Mother on a narrow road. It was quite a pity."
"Destined to meet, we will eventually meet. Even if it is like now."
As Wanyan Lingxu spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the sharp blades in the hands of the soldiers of the two armies.
She turned and continued to focus her consciousness on the person in front of her, trying to detect the inner strength, but still found nothing as before.
"The strength of King Zhenbei is the same."
"...Back then, I could roughly guess your strength from your aura, but now, it's hard to estimate."
"Whether one is strong or not is not just reflected in this way."
"...Perhaps, the breath of a mortal can also be long and lasting."
The two talked for a while.
But they were unable to extract more information from their opponents.
"Well, let's end the small talk here." Wanyan Lingxu said seriously.
She looked at the person in front of her and continued to speak——
"King Zhenbei, please submit to me. You cannot defeat me."
"...I represent God's will, and behind me is the guidance of the 'Eternal Life'."
The King of Zhenbei chuckled upon hearing this, "The Queen Mother knows this, but I, the King, never believe this."
"I didn't believe it before."
Wanyan Lingxu replied: "I have always believed that I am not the reincarnation of the legendary female war goddess Wanyan Lingxu."
"But until, I went to the far north."
"...There are the relics left by the female war goddess back then. It was also from there that I learned about my mission."
The legendary female war goddess in Northern Xinjiang was one of the most powerful disciples of Jihua Immortal Lord at that time. She was invincible in every battle and conquered all attacks.
Even if many famous generals in the world joined forces at that time, they could not compete with him.
"I know the appearance of the female war goddess Wanyan Lingxu, but unfortunately, you are not what she looks like."
King Zhenbei suddenly spoke.
He had seen the appearance of the so-called female war goddess from his experience with the Red Flame Immortal Lord in his previous life.
"Oh?" Wanyan Lingxu found it interesting, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"So, my guess is not wrong."
"...King Zhenbei might as well take another look at the female war goddess from back then, but she looks like this."
While speaking, Wanyan Lingxu slightly pulled back her Northern Xinjiang braid with both hands.
The internal energy of the whole body surges out, forming an existence like a substantial aura.
Light and shadow changes.
Wanyan Lingxu's appearance also seemed to have changed.
The gemstone's armor reflects the sunlight, like a ghost.
King Zhenbei's originally cold eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at this moment.
His memory of the Kunlun Temple was brought back.
In front of the [Three Lives Stone], in the experience and memory of the Scarlet Flame Immortal Lord, he had indeed witnessed the graceful appearance of the female God of War.
It is indeed the appearance of Wanyan Lingxu in front of me, merged into one.
"you……"
King Zhenbei's eyes were sharp and he smiled indifferently, "There is actually a [Three Life Stones] in the far north."
After hearing this, Wanyan Lingxu immediately understood the reason for the rapid improvement in Zhenbei King's strength.
"It seems that the same is true for King Zhenbei."
"...In the experience of the female war goddess, I also saw the existence of King Zhenbei in his previous life."
"...At that time, you and I were also enemies."
Wanyan Ling said nothing.
The two of them chuckled in unison.
The king of Zhenbei turned his head slightly on his horse and said, "This is really a fateful battle."
Wanyan Lingxu also echoed, saying bluntly: "The Ziwei star moves north, and destiny lies in the north."
The King of Zhenbei laughed and said proudly——
"In that case, let's see where Ziwei Star lands as it moves northward."
Both sides drove their horses back.
The moment of the coach's conversation was specifically used to express that he had made his best efforts to quell the war in accordance with ancient methods.
...Although since ancient times, there has been basically no success in stopping the war by this method.
Under the gaze of all the armies.
The Queen Mother of Northern Xinjiang and the Northern King of Beidi Zhenbei returned to their respective military formations.
The early spring breeze blows.
Dots of green on the grassland are shaking...
Wanyan Lingxu looked at the position of the sun in the sky. If the time was correct, Yanbei City should have been surrounded by the demon army or even broken through.
