It is not just the millions of soldiers and horses of the Xingnan Kingdom and the Ulan Empire who are in tense confrontation.
Ye Chen, Wang Ying and other Tianxu Sect monks stood guard at the head of Zhennanguan City, staring at the Xingnan *** camp below the city.
The leader of the Fire Worshiping Sect Xu Shen, the young sect leader Xu Wei and other Fire Worshiping Sect monks were in the Xingnan *** camp, closely watching the fierce battle on the top of Zhennanguan City almost every day.
Although they were more than ten miles apart, both sides could feel the intense atmosphere of confrontation.
"If we continue fighting like this, when will we be able to capture Zhennanguan?!"
The Fire Worshiping Sect monks looked anxious.
The Xingnan Kingdom's 7.8 million soldiers and horses and the Ulan Empire's 3.4 million soldiers and horses respectively stationed troops inside and outside Zhennanguan, an important border town.
What is the concept of a confrontation between two countries with more than one million troops?
The camps of the two armies were dozens of miles in radius, and the formations of soldiers were even more densely packed. They looked almost endless at first glance. But the problem was that the space at the head of Zhennanguan was limited. It could only hold 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses at most, and the rest of the army could only stand there.
They can be on standby in their respective military camps, ready to take turns to attack the city at any time.
Just the consumption of soldiers and horses will take several months to be used up.
But they, the Fire Worshiping Sect monks, could do nothing in the military camp of Xingnan Kingdom.
They cannot directly go into battle to kill the soldiers. The foundation-building immortal cultivators are helpless in the face of such a huge army. Even if the soldiers are extremely weak, the number of soldiers cannot be killed. The monks' magic power and physical strength are limited, and they will be exhausted when they are exhausted.
.Once the monks' magic power and physical strength are exhausted, they are not much different from ordinary warriors.
In a chaotic battle, the foundation-building monks can leave with their swords at any time. If the monks in the Qi-refining stage cannot escape after being exhausted, the final result will be killed by the soldiers' random arrows and swords. Therefore, monks generally do not directly participate in the war.
Seeing that they were still unable to attack Zhennang Pass, the cultivators from the Fire Worship Sect were forced to panic. They simply sent a monk who was quite powerful in the late stage of foundation building to come to Zhennang Pass and invite a battle with Ye Chen, Qin, Kang and others.
The generation monks fought alone to determine the outcome. A huge bet was also made. The second generation monk of the Fire Worshiping Sect won. The Tianxu Sect must take the initiative to give up Zhennanguan. If the Fire Worshiping Sect monks lost, Xingnan Kingdom would take the initiative.
retreat.
Ye Chen blocked the Fire Worshiping Sect monk back with just one word. This matter was of great importance and he couldn't decide. Should he invite Head Tianxu to have a battle of wits with Head Xu of the Fire Worshiping Sect?
!
When the Fire Worshiping Sect Foundation Establishment monk heard this, he was immediately speechless and retreated without saying a word.
What a joke!
If the leader of Tianxu is so easy to challenge, can he still stand out from the dozens of Jindan monks in Tianxu Sect and become the leader of the nine great immortal sects in Yunzhou?!
After the Fire Worshiping Sect monk returned, he reported to Master Xu. Master Xu was silent for a long time, and his plan came to nothing.
The thoughts that Fire Worship Sect had been ready to move were suppressed again.
More than a month has gone by in a blink of an eye.
The assassination incident that Ye Chen was most worried about did not happen.
The soldiers and horses of the Xingnan Kingdom attacked Zhennanguan with all their strength. Thousands of soldiers from both countries died on the city and below the city every day, which was extremely tragic. In order to avoid a direct fierce battle with the Tianxumen monks, the Fire Worship Sect gave up going into battle directly.
As the battle at Zhennang Pass progressed day by day, Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were just a secular military campaign, the city of Zhennanguan was high and steep, and a large number of Ulan soldiers arrived as reinforcements, so we would be quite sure of holding Zhennanguan.
...
On this day, a large sailboat nearly a thousand feet long flew thousands of feet into the sky above Zhennan Pass. The main mast of this large sailboat hung the flag of Tianxu Sect, and many Tianxu Immortal Sects
The monk stood on the edge of the spacecraft and looked towards Zhennan Pass below.
Such flying sailing ships are not uncommon in Tianxu Sect. Many long-distance material transportation is completed by such large flying sailing ships. Of course, it is also very convenient to transport large numbers of monks.
"Fairy ship!"
"Oh my god. It's an immortal's ship!"
Thousands of soldiers who were fighting fiercely in Zhennanguan with swords and guns stopped one after another, raised their heads, and stared at the sky. An inexplicable and huge panic surged out of their hearts. Such a huge fairy ship
The ship is flying in the sky above their city. Do the immortals want to interfere in this war?! The immortals represent the power of God, and no one knows what will happen next.
"The sailboat of Tianxumen!"
"Go. Go see the leader!"
Ye Chen, who was watching at the gate of Zhennan Pass, was overjoyed when he discovered the warship. Tianxu Immortal Sect used a large sailing boat to directly transport the Immortal Sect monks over, and the arrival time was much faster than he expected.
He called Wang Ying, Xu Ping, Qin Tao, Kang Lijun and other four people, and took Wang Lin, Princess Xingzhou of Ulan State, to the sailboat together.
In Zhennan Pass, five sword lights soared into the sky and landed on the large sailing ship.
On the deck of the spaceship, an old man with a green beard and several golden elixir elders, along with many foundation-building monks and Qi-refining monks, were looking at them with smiles. There were also Zhao Zhen, who was going to Tianxu Immortal Sect to deliver a message, and even Kong.
Master Immortal and Master Wu were also looking behind the crowd of monks, winking excitedly at Ye Chen.
"Disciple Ye Chen, I would like to pay my respects to the head master and elders! I have met all of my fellow disciples."
Ye Chen bowed his hands and saluted, and at the same time he was calm in his heart. Five golden elixir monks came unexpectedly, as well as more than a hundred foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-refining monks. A large amount of the Tianxu Immortal Sect's spare power was given away.
Come here, this power is more than enough to deal with the Fire Worship Sect.
"Dad! Why are you here in person? I thought it was other senior uncles and uncles who brought people here! Dad, this kid has made a great contribution this time!"
When Wang Ying saw Master Wang, she cheered and ran over.
Xu Ping, Qin Tao, Kang Lijun and other monks also quickly visited the leader and several Jindan elders.
Seeing that Wang Ying was fine, Head Wang laughed and said, "Ying'er, you're fine, dad is at ease! These days, dad has been worried about your safety! By the way, who among the five of you is trapped on the ground?
Flame Mountain?"
"Trapped in Yanshan Mountain? Is it Junior Brother Ye Chen?"
Wang Ying was confused.
Qin Tao, Kang Lijun, Xu Ping and others were puzzled. They only knew about the Diyan Mountain discovered by Ye Chen, but they did not know what happened to Ye Chen in the Diyan Mountain.
"The disciple was trapped in Diyan Mountain before, but he has come out. After coming out, he immediately sent information about Diyan Mountain to the Immortal Sect!"
Ye Chen said to the head of the king apologetically.
He had previously deliberately asked Zhao Zhen to say that there was a Tianxu patrol envoy trapped in Diyan Mountain, but he did not say who it was, just to let the head of the king send someone over immediately, so as to avoid delay and delay in coming to support.
"You did a good job in patrolling Ulan!"
Headmaster Wang looked at Ye Chen and nodded with satisfaction.
Although he was a nominal disciple who did not want to become a member of the royal family, he was very satisfied with the fact that he carried out the task quickly and neatly. The information on Diyan Mountain was reported in such detail, and only Ye Chen, who had served as
The disciples of the general manager of Xianmen Mining Area can do it. Neither Wang Ying nor Qin and Kang, two famous Xianmen dandies, can do it.
"Granddaughter Wang Lin, meet grandpa!"
Princess Wang Lin looked a little excited and bowed before the headmaster Wang.
A descendant of Head Wang who had no spiritual roots was sent to Ulan since he was a child. He became the emperor of the Ulan Empire, and Princess Wang Lin was one of the dozens of children of the Ulan Emperor.
If the golden elixir monks and foundation-building monks of the nine immortal sects give birth to children who have no spiritual roots and are not suitable for cultivation, they will be sent to secular countries, large and small, to support them and become the royal families of various countries, thus indirectly controlling the territories, soldiers and horses of each country, and the extremely huge army.
Population of secular countries.
When the nine Immortal Sects compete for control of the secular country, the most commonly used methods are to support the new king with the descendants of the Immortal Sect to ascend to power, and to eradicate members of the old royal family and ministers and generals loyal to the royal family. The most common methods that the Immortal Sect monks participate in are palace coups and assassinations.
.
The fate of the secular royal family is often linked to the fate of the Immortal Sect family. If the main line of the Immortal Sect declines and there is no one to follow, the branches of the secular royal family will inevitably decline and will eventually be replaced by the descendants of other monks.
"Well, Lin'er, get up! How is your father now?"
Headmaster Wang nodded kindly.
"After my granddaughter was granted the title of Princess Xingzhou, she has not seen her father for several years and has been exchanging letters. My father is doing well, but he often mentions missing grandpa in his letters! If grandpa is free, go
Look at your father in the imperial capital!"
Wang Lin stood up, lowered her hands and replied sadly.
"I'm coming to Ulan this time. After I finish handling the affairs here, I'll go see him."
Headmaster Wang said, sighing slightly in his heart, missing the son who stayed in the secular country. After discovering that this son had no spiritual talent, he sent his monks to send him to Ulan Kingdom, where he was almost never seen again. Since there are no immortals,
If you are destined to do so, you can enjoy some worldly glory and wealth. Becoming an emperor with ninety-five degrees of honor, the supreme king in a secular country, is not a waste of time. It will last for decades.
There is a huge gap between immortal cultivators and mortals. Even though they are biological father and son, they will go farther and farther. His father is more than 200 years old and still looks young. His son is in his 50s and 60s, but he has gradually started to grow old.
Headmaster Wang asked Wang Lin a few questions, but didn't ask any more questions. Although she was his direct granddaughter, the family relationship was much weaker after all, not as concerned as he was with Wang Ying.
After some pleasantries, the topic among the Tianxu Sect monks returned to Xingzhou County and Diyan Mountain, which were of greatest concern.
Ye Chen reported to the leader Wang and several Jindan elders about the recent war situation in Xingzhou County. The recent activities of the Fire Worship Sect, his negotiations with the Fire Worship Sect, and the Xingnan Kingdom's attack on Xingzhou of the Ulan Empire
County situation.
"The Golden Pill Master of the Fire Worship Sect, a group of foundation-building monks, have not made any move for more than a month?"
"Xingzhou County is still under the control of the Ulan Empire?"
Headmaster Wang and several Jindan elders were deeply surprised after hearing Ye Chen's report, and couldn't help but look at Ye Chen differently.
On their way here, they were actually prepared for the worst.
That is, the Fire Worship Sect has taken over the entire Xingzhou County with its strength and classified it as the territory of other countries. It no longer belongs to the Ulan Empire. And the large spiritual land of Diyan Mountain has also been taken over by the emerging small Fire Worship Sect.
The Immortal Sect was completely annexed. - Ye Chen and Wang Ying were too weak to fight against the Fire Worshiping Sect. It was not surprising that such a situation occurred.
In that case, it will be very troublesome.
Tianxu Sect fell into a passive position and had to use various means to get Xingzhou County and Diyan Mountain back, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Of course Tianxu Immortal Sect can rely on its own strong strength to defeat the Fire Worshiping Sect with a shallow foundation. But the problem is that the reputation of relying on the strong to bully the weak does not sound good.
What they didn't expect was that Xingzhou County was still in the hands of the Ulan Empire. Tianxu Sect still had the initiative.
This result is much better than the best situation they expected. (To be continued)
