Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 206: Battle with Qiu Qianbian
"Taozi, sister will take you there."
Die Huanyi took the initiative to take Yin Tao's little hand and flew her down.
The sect leaders of the Hundred Sect Alliance went to maintain the scene, and the commotion there quickly subsided.
Yin Tao personally helped the monks heal their wounds and apply medicine, and asked for help, which won praise from many people.
When the monks learned that King Gongsheng had been executed and that the little sister in front of them was Queen Yin Tao, they all showed flattered expressions and cried to her about what they had experienced in Beiyu City in the past few days.
After Yin Tao heard about all the atrocities committed by the Demon Palace in Beiyu City, her pair of pink fists clenched tightly, her eyes sparkling, and there was an inexplicable sadness.
She ascended the throne at the age of six, but was trapped in the palace all day long. As she slowly became wiser, she realized that she was just a puppet at the mercy of others, and that everyone around her, except Uncle Hai, had a purpose to get close to her.
She didn't know what the meaning of her life was, so she could only sit on the cold bed and stare at the window in a daze.
Just like now, pairs of angry eyes fell on her. This strange yet familiar feeling made her a little scared. She didn't know what to say or do in her current capacity.
Yin Tao subconsciously looked at Lin Dongjiu, only to find that Lin Dongjiu was looking at her with a complicated look. She could no longer tell whether the look was expectation, encouragement, or disappointment.
She only felt that the world in front of her was getting bigger, while she was shrinking.
Her breathing became rapid, her head was buzzing, and her heart was so panicked that she just wanted to escape from here quickly so that she could return to her brother.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded in Yin Tao's ear:
"Don't be afraid, Taozi, just say what you want to say. With your brother here, no one will dare to bully you."
Yin Tao's thoughts were brought back from fantasy to reality by this voice. She glanced at Die Huanyi who was holding her palm. For some reason, she suddenly felt much more at ease, and even the scenery in front of her returned to normal.
She didn't know who this sister was, but this sister gave her a very familiar and kind feeling, just like... just like Sister-in-law Ruxue!
A question slowly floated in Yin Tao's mind, but she didn't think much about it and just cast a grateful look at Die Huanyi.
Die Huanyi smiled slightly and pushed Yin Tao forward slightly.
Yin Tao took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked directly at the crowd, and said:
"The crimes committed by the Demon Palace are tabooed by both humans and gods, and are not tolerated by the law of heaven! However, the law of heaven can be deceived, and retribution is indefinite. There are millions of people with lofty ideals in Lingyun, how can they deceive me, who has no one in Lingyun, and let the Demon Palace trample on me at will!"
Everyone was silent. Everyone knew the truth, but when it was said by a child, no one was embarrassed and did not dare to look down upon Queen Yin Tao.
Lin Dongjiu finally showed a smile of relief. His aura was rising steadily, and the invisible aura attracted all the eyes. He spoke in a thunderous voice:
"Queen Yin Tao is right. The Demon Palace tramples not only Lingyun Kingdom, but also our face, our integrity, and our dignity! If everyone is cowardly, the Demon Palace can kill twenty of Lingyun's innocent people today.
Ten thousand, tomorrow it will be two million! With all the people in the house, who will be spared then?"
Lin Dongjiu looked around the audience with sharp eyes and said:
"Having said that, I would like to ask all the gentlemen present, can you join me in the battle?"
"war..."
Everyone's hearts are agitated, but few are speaking out.
Lin Dongjiu frowned slightly, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he let go of Qianzhang's spiritual consciousness to cover the entire audience, and said word by word:
"Everyone here, can you join me in the battle?"
"war!"
A young monk shouted, and immediately, the roar spread throughout the audience:
"Fight! Fight! Fight!..."
Everyone waved their arms and shouted, blood filled the city!
"good!"
Lin Dongjiu nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Those who are interested in participating in the war can run away from all directions, go to Crescent City to join the army, and then fight in Beiyu City to surround the Demon Palace Corpse Puppet Army. All those who participate in the war will receive the same pay as mercenaries. After the victory, General Luoxia Sect will
Register and get paid, and never break your promise!"
"yes!"
The crowd at the scene became excited and dispersed towards the city gate.
Lin Dongjiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, for him, whether these people participated in the war or not had little impact on the overall situation.
But the reason why he took so much pains to encourage these people to join the war was that he ultimately wanted to help Yin Tao win over the people and accumulate prestige. In this way, she could regain power as soon as possible and secure the throne...
Ji Ping flew over, and Lin Dongjiu asked: "Have you recorded everything?"
“It was recorded from start to finish!”
Ji Ping took out a few picture stones and showed them to Lin Dongjiu.
Lin Dongjiu nodded with satisfaction and explained:
"Now send people with the image stones to the major cities. The more people you can see, the better."
"Also, send someone to Crescent City to inform the Lord of Subei City and ask him to accept new soldiers and move to Beiyu City."
"good!"
Ji Ping set about taking care of it, and Lin Dongjiu exchanged a few words with Die Huanyi before setting off to fly to the Misty Immortal Sect.
...
The distance to the Misty Immortal Sect was getting closer and closer, and as far as the eye could see, Lin Dongjiu could see large luminous formations standing on the ground. The black army was trapped in the formations, causing the brilliance on the surface of the formations to boil.
At this time, a stream of light rushed straight towards Feiyun Zhou. Lin Dongjiu appeared outside the warehouse, looked up and down at the leader Liao Yin who had arrived in an instant, and said with a smile:
"Sect Master Liao has been looking a lot haggard recently. He must have been too distracted by the younger generation's affairs. I will definitely pay more respect to the sect leader at the celebration banquet."
Liao Yin rolled her eyes at him and said coldly: "Young poor man, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Lin Dongjiu was helpless and said angrily:
"Didn't I come to bring good news to Sect Master Liao? The situation in the Demon Palace is over, and the Tiger Talisman has been obtained. Sect Master Liao can withdraw."
Liao Yin snorted coldly: "Humph, that's very good!"
After saying that, she roughly picked up Lin Dongjiu and rushed towards the formation below.
Outside the formation, Lin Dongjiu looked at the chaotic crowd inside the formation and felt dizzy.
Liao Yin glanced at him lightly and said: "Activate the spiritual pressure formation!"
"yes!"
The two beautiful female disciples next to him replied crisply.
Lin Dongjiu watched the two female disciples hurriedly controlling the formation. After a while, he heard a "rumbling" sound coming from the formation. The troops in the formation seemed to be enveloped by an invisible pressure.
They all knelt on the ground.
The only one standing proudly and motionless in the formation was a middle-aged man wearing heavy black iron armor, a full beard, and an extremely burly figure.
He didn't seem to be restricted by the laws of the formation, and he walked towards Lin Dongjiu and the others with long strides.
"Liao Yin, there is still a chance to turn back now. Don't be stubborn. This formation will trap us for two days at most. You have to think clearly about the consequences then!"
The man shouted in a low voice across the formation, the sound was like thunder.
Liao Yin didn't seem to want to waste words with this rough guy, so she gave Lin Dongjiu a look and let him feel it for himself.
Lin Dong nodded slightly to Liao Yin and said to the man, "Are you Tao Shan, the lord of the garrison city?"
Tao Shan snorted coldly, as if he didn't hear it, and didn't even look at Lin Dongjiu.
Being ignored... Lin Dongjiu was not annoyed and slowly opened his dragon pupils.
"Um...?"
Tao Shan suddenly looked at Lin Dongjiu, his lightning-like eyes clearly filled with indescribable shock, and couldn't help but ask:
"Yin Family Longtong...who are you?!"
Lin Dongjiu threw the shadow stone and the soldier talisman into the formation and said with a smile:
"City Lord Tao will know it at a glance."
Tao Shan stretched out his hand to grab the image stone and the soldier talisman. His eyes stayed on the soldier talisman for a few seconds, and then his expression became suspicious, and then he carefully checked the contents recorded in the image stone.
As time passed by, his expression alternated with shock, fear, and rage. Finally, his face turned red, he knelt down on one knee with a "bump" sound, and shouted:
"General Tao Shan, please pay homage to the prince!"
The relationship between the Yin family and these city lords is a monarch-subordinate relationship. Lin Dongjiu was not surprised and said to Liao Yin:
"Sect Leader Liao, please withdraw the formation."
Liao Yin nodded, personally took out the formation flag and withdrew the formation.
After the brilliance of the formation dissipated, Lin Dongjiu hurried forward and trotted two steps, helped Tao Shan up, and said sincerely:
"City Master Tao, please get up quickly. This junior cannot withstand such a great gift from the City Master."
In terms of human relations and sophistication, he has always been impeccable, which can be said to have given Tao Shan enough kindness.
Tao Shan's expression became more natural, but he did not stand up, but said in a deep voice:
"I will eventually be deceived by King Gongsheng and almost cause a catastrophe. Please punish me, Prince!"
Lin Dong Jiuqiang pulled Tao Shan to stand up and said sincerely:
"At that time, King Gongsheng held the military talisman, and City Master Tao was just following orders. Besides, City Master Tao guarded the border for Lingyun for many years. It is not an exaggeration to call him the patron saint of Lingyun, so how can he talk about punishment?"
Liao Yin glared at Lin Dongjiu and cursed in her heart. This brat is really good at talking and winning people's hearts. No wonder he was able to trick my precious disciple. It's so abominable!
Lin Dongjiu didn't notice Liao Yin's slightly resentful eyes and continued to discuss with Tao Shan:
"City Lord Tao, without further ado, let's lead the army to Beiyu City as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble if the zombies in the Demon Palace spread out and hurt innocent people!"
Tao Shan was even more nervous than Lin Dongjiu, and he did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately organized his army and prepared to set off.
Lin Dongjiu looked at Liao Yin with a smile: "Sect Master Liao..."
Liao Yin's expression changed, and she walked away with a flick of her sleeves, calling to all the disciples:
"Return to the clan!"
Lin Dongjiu's smile remained unchanged and he said to Tao Shan:
"City Master Tao, let's go!"
...
Piaomiao Xianzong is relatively far away from Beiyu City, and due to the huge size of the army, the speed is even slower. By the time Lin Dongjiu and the others approached Beiyu City, it was already dark.
Beiyu City was built on the flat slope of the valley. Lin Dongjiu climbed up and looked into the distance. He could see that the fire was raging outside the city, the demonic energy was soaring into the sky, the sound of explosions and fighting could not be heard endlessly, and the stench of blood and rotting corpses swept along with the strong wind and rushed into the nasal cavity.
Disgusting!
The war has begun!
Lin Dongjiu and Tao Shan looked at each other. The former swooped down, while the latter recruited troops and led an army of 100,000 to form a circular formation and surround Beiyu City.
After entering the battlefield, a mountain of corpses rushed towards him. Lin Dongjiu suddenly felt that he had traveled through time, to a movie he had watched in his previous life, World War Z!
"Stay back, I'm here!"
Those mercenaries naturally knew Lin Dongjiu. After hearing what he said, they immediately withdrew their defenses and retreated decisively, as if they were afraid that if they ran a step slower, he would kill him along with his corpse.
However, their worries were not wrong. Lin Dongjiu opened his arms and held up two large fireballs of different colors. There seemed to be chains tied to the fireballs. He grabbed the chains and swung the fireballs like a meteor hammer.
, and smashed into the pile of corpses.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the fireball hit it, it would make a deafening explosion. The sparks would hit the corpse puppet, and the sea of corpses would turn into a sea of fire. After a while, Lin Dongjiu cleared a large open space in front of him.
Those mercenaries opened their mouths wide, they were all shocked by Lin Dongjiu's methods, with only admiration and admiration left in their eyes...
This damn guy is so fierce, he deserves to be the man who can conquer the Flower Fairy!
Lin Dongjiu didn't care about other people's opinions. He just got more and more excited as he played, like a bulldozer opening the way, leading the mercenaries deeper into the battlefield.
As Lin Dongjiu continued to go deeper, he saw the sect masters, elders and major city lords fighting with the corpse puppets.
They are all capable of blocking hundreds of people at once, and the corpse puppets have no room for resistance in front of them, and they will kill a large area at will.
With them charging forward, it can be said that it really helps the mercenaries share a lot of pressure.
Lin Dongjiu felt a little relieved and searched around, but he still couldn't find Qiu Qianbian and Chen Yi.
"Dong Jiu, this way!"
Su Bei shouted from a distance, and Lin Dongjiu followed the sound and saw a majestic altar built in the center of the city.
This altar is dozens of times larger than the one Lin Dongjiu saw for the first time in Luo'an Village!
The entire altar was made of stones, with a pit dug out in the middle, which was filled with bubbling blood, with purple-black evil energy floating above it.
In the center of the blood pool was a stone statue about three meters high. The statue was still carved into a smiling Buddha, which made Lin Dongjiu have the urge to kneel down and worship.
Qiu Qianbian was kneeling in front of the statue, his whole body soaked in the pool of blood, like a devout believer, muttering something constantly.
Su Bei said with a solemn expression: "I can't see through his cultivation!"
"We can't let him absorb the power of blood sacrifice anymore, otherwise we may not be his opponents by then!"
As Lin Dongjiu spoke, a bright red halo rose up from his body, and a huge divine sun slowly formed behind his head, and the blazing light even illuminated a small half of the night sky.
He held Shenyang with both hands, which seemed to be struggling, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and slammed Shenyang towards the altar below.
Su Bei also summoned Shenyang and smashed it down together with Lin Dongjiu's Shenyang.
"well..."
A faint sigh echoed in Beiyu City, but the sigh seemed to be ringing in the ears, and everyone inside and outside the city heard it very clearly.
"If I hadn't wasted some time, how could my sincere prayers have been interrupted by you ants? Damn it!"
In Beiyu City, which was shrouded in demonic energy, an angry roar rang out. The entire Beijade City was shaken, and it also rolled up the demonic energy in the sky, forming a giant black vortex.
A creepy aura was released from the center of the vortex, as if an ancient monster was slowly awakening inside.
At this time, Baicao Cao Sect Master Wei Xinghai and several major city lords also gathered over. Their faces were all solemn and their eyes were full of fear.
"I feel the suppression of the realm. Who is in the whirlpool, but that old demon Qiu Qianbian?"
Wei Xinghai stared at the center of the vortex and spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right!"
Su Bei nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said:
"Qiu Qianbian has probably advanced to the Concentration Realm. I'm afraid no one but us can intervene in this battle. Let's all be prepared!"
Just as the rest of the people were about to join in, the terrifying aura in the vortex suddenly erupted, and overwhelming pressure swept towards them.
"Do it!"
Su Bei shouted angrily, and everyone sacrificed their magical weapons. Lin Dongjiu also took out his blue light sword and prepared to fight, but unexpectedly, Su Bei grabbed him by the collar. Then he felt a huge force coming from his whole body.
The man instantly rose up, like a fired cannonball, flying towards the sky uncontrollably.
I'm sorry!
Lin Dongjiu's heartfelt cry was masked by the howling wind. He flew farther and farther away, but as far as his eyes could see, he could still see a terrifying battle going on high in the sky above Beiyu City.
He stopped, quickly turned back, and flew over Beiyu City. He saw that most of the city under his feet was destroyed, with ruins and rubble everywhere, and was gradually submerged in the billowing dust and smoke.
High in the sky, a huge head poked out of the demonic cloud, staring at Lin Dongjiu with huge red eyes.
There was a pair of horns on the head, one of which had been broken. The open bloody mouth was full of fangs, and the ugly face had no human features at all.
"Lin Dongjiu, you ruined my twenty years of hard work, I want you to die!"
The monster roared, its voice hoarse and harsh, and then it waved out a huge black claw, passed through the clouds, and grabbed Lin Dongjiu fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
Five figures arrived in an instant, guarding Lin Dongjiu.
"You stinky boy, what are you doing here? What a nonsense...cough cough cough!"
Su Bei coughed up blood, his energy and energy suddenly slumped, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, and his body swayed and he fell backwards.
"metropolitan!"
Lin Dongjiu was shocked, but luckily Leng Fei quickly helped Su Bei with his quick hands and eyes.
"Just now, Sect Master Su used his body as a medium to carry the energy, blood and spiritual power of the four of us, and together we defeated Qiu Qianbian. However, Sect Master Su also suffered backlash from this, increasing his injuries. It will probably take a long time for him to recover.
"
Leng Fei spoke in a deep voice, his tone was very weak.
Lin Dongjiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still heavy. Su Bei and the other five were all seriously injured without exception. Coupled with their combined attack, it is estimated that the spiritual energy in their bodies was almost exhausted.
So...Is Qiu Qian dead?!
Lin Dongjiu stared at the large hole in front of him that was made by Qiu Qianbian, as if staring into an abyss.
