The emperor of the Baiyue Kingdom issued several imperial edicts in succession, ordering all major territories to actively prepare for war, which suddenly made the atmosphere on the border tense.
The Purple Flame King's Territory is a key area for preparations for war. It is adjacent to the Western Chu Kingdom in the northwest. During these days, there is also a turbulent period, and there is a strong trend of mountains and rains coming.
The State of Western Chu sent envoys to threaten the royal family of Baiyue State in an attempt to annex the territory of Baiyue State and seize the mineral deposits of Lianhua Mountain. This news reached the leader of Ziyan King and caused a stir, making everyone in the leader of Ziyan King very angry.
.This Western Chu Kingdom is really shameless and takes advantage of the situation.
Knowing that the royal family of Baiyue Kingdom had sternly refused and that there were conflicts at all levels, the leaders of King Ziyan also knew that a battle with the Western Chu Kingdom was probably inevitable.
The people led by King Ziyan are fierce, so it is naturally impossible to compromise on this issue. From King Ziyan to ordinary people, everyone worked together and began to actively prepare for war.
At the beginning of November, the cold wind blew, and it was already a bit chilly on the border. The Purple Flame King changed the whistle from one whistle a day to three whistles a day.
Scouts are sent out every day to observe the enemy situation on the border. If there is any disturbance, it will be quickly reported back to the Purple Flame King's territory, so that they can respond immediately.
The border between the Purple Flame Kingdom and the Western Chu State lies across the majestic and stretching Lotus Mountain. It is precisely because of the rich mineral deposits of this Lotus Mountain that the Western Chu State has always been obsessed with it and has great ambitions.
There is a grand canyon in Lianhua Mountain, which is the first pass for the frontline defense of the Purple Flame King. This pass is very steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a natural mountain as a barrier. Setting up a pass in the canyon can be said to be a one-person pass.
Fumokai's defense.
Once the natural barrier of Lianhua Mountain is broken through, it will be a flat plain all the way south, with no geographical advantage to buffer it. Although the defense lines of the major states and counties in the territory are also very compact, facing the powerful attack power of the Western Chu State, I am afraid that
It’s also hard to resist.
Once it breaks through, it will directly threaten the Purple Flame King City. The Purple Flame King City is an ancient city that is thousands of years old. It has strong defenses and is surrounded by several cities to protect it.
Even so, if the army of Western Chu State were to attack the city, even the strongest city defense would probably be very passive.
Military battles require a three-dimensional defense. When an isolated city is besieged, even if you have an iron wall, the only thing you can do is to delay the attack until reinforcements arrive.
They are now afraid that the opponent's innate masters will be sent out. There are three innate masters in the Western Chu Kingdom. If these three people take action, the defense at the Lianhua Mountain pass will be very troublesome!
As we all know, no matter how strong the acquired warrior is, among thousands of troops, his personal power is very limited and it is difficult to influence the situation of the battle.
But for innate masters, it's completely different.
A congenital master can do many things that an acquired master cannot.
All solid defenses are of little use in the face of innate masters. You can't stop innate masters from approaching, let alone prevent innate masters from coming to assassinate the generals guarding the gate.
And if an innate master participates in the charge, the lethality will be even more astonishing.
For acquired experts, no matter how strong you are, killing dozens of people in one breath is already very impressive. However, for an innate expert, if he strikes with all his strength, it is no problem to kill hundreds of people.
In the Ziyan Palace, Ziyan King, a group of counselors, and close confidants were all standing out, all of them with serious expressions. They were increasingly able to feel the changes in the atmosphere.
The solemn murderous aura coming from the north is already very obvious.
The scouts also kept sending back news——
The Western Chu Kingdom began to mobilize troops and horses...
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the Western Chu Kingdom began to move south...
Three hundred thousand troops gathered in the southern border of Western Chu Kingdom...
The signals this time are all heading in the same direction: the Western Chu Kingdom is preparing to use troops against the Baiyue Kingdom!
"Everyone, I have sent six consecutive calls for help to the imperial capital. I believe that the royal family's back-up and rescue from other territories will come one after another. This battle will not only determine the life and death of our Ziyan Kingdom, but also determine the fate of our Baiyue Kingdom.
Destiny! If the army of the Western Chu Kingdom is allowed to go south, the Baiyue Kingdom will be cannibalized and carved up by various powerful forces. We, those who have perished, may not have a burial place. In this battle, everyone needs to be brave and fight to the death.
"
"You should follow the prince and fight against foreign enemies together!"
"The northwest front is tense, and the northeast front is probably not much better. Our Baiyue Kingdom only has one Martial Saint to protect the country, and we will lose the other if we only care about one. I just hope that in this battle, the other side will not send out innate masters."
The elder said.
He also knows that this is just an extravagant hope. Since the Western Chu Kingdom is determined to win, it is naturally impossible not to send the Martial Saint here. Once the Xiantian Martial Saint goes to battle, the defense of the Purple Flame King will be even more stretched.
…
On the eighth day of November, the 300,000-strong army of the Western Chu State had arrived at the border between the two countries in three groups. The forward force, 50,000-strong, was encamped twenty miles away from the border crossing of the Lianhua Mountain Grand Canyon.
The pass in the Lotus Mountain Grand Canyon is called Tianyun Pass. The leader guarding this pass is He Tianbao, the eldest son of King Ziyan, and the two deputies are both strong men at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
At Tianyunguan Dazhai, He Tianbao was summoning the generals to discuss countermeasures.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the big tent: "Report!"
"General, there is an enemy situation outside the pass!"
"Enemy situation?" He Tianbao was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that the vanguard troops are still camping twenty miles away? Why was it recommended to be outside the pass at this moment?"
"It's not a vanguard force. There is only one enemy. He is a silver-haired old man, wearing a square dress, which is very strange. Our general guarding the gate ordered him to leave several times, but he ignored him. The general guarding the gate suspected that he was an enemy chief and ordered to shoot arrows.
Before reaching him, he turned automatically, which was very weird."
"What? The arrow turned automatically?" He Tianbao was really surprised!
The two deputies beside him also changed their expressions. Their first thought was that they were both innate!
Even if the acquired martial arts is practiced to the extreme, it is impossible to generate strong qi to make the arrows go round and round. You can only use the true qi to shake the arrows away.
Being able to turn an arrow without moving must be an innate strength!
Could it be that the person who came was actually Xiantian?
He Tianbao grabbed the waist knife in his hand and split the cases in front of him into two pieces!
"Let's go and see what kind of evil god it is!"
He Tianbao inherited his father's style and was very brave. Even when he heard the name Xiantian, he was not afraid. He led a group of deputies and headed towards the pass like a whirlwind.
Outside the pass, the Great Martial Saint Yi Chenzi seemed to be completely integrated into the world in front of him. From a distance, it seemed that this person outside the pass was just a scenery in the vast land outside the pass, integrated with the grass and trees of the world.
You can't see anything out of the ordinary.
When He Tianbao saw the formation, he shouted: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Yi Chenzi raised his head leisurely and raised his voice: "Huangkou boy, who is King Ziyan?"
"I am He Tianbao, the eldest son of King Ziyan! You old man is so sneaky, but who are you?"
Yi Chenzi smiled coldly: "Go back and tell King Zi Yan that tonight is the last chance to consider, either give up the avatar, or I will personally go get his head tomorrow. Once the army arrives, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his feet and leaped up to the top of the gate. He suddenly flicked his sleeves and shot out a chain, which rolled directly towards He Tianbao who was closing the gate.
This time, it was so sudden that people were completely caught off guard. The archers who closed the door immediately fired arrows at him, and the guards around He Tianbao also drew out their weapons and chopped at the chain.
"The mantis' arm is like a chariot, and you don't overestimate your own capabilities!" Chuchenzi snorted softly, swept his sleeves lightly, and immediately swung away all the weapons.
And his upward trend was only slightly hindered.
The chain in his hand continued to move forward, like a poisonous snake, around to He Tianbao.
Yi Chenzi's idea was very clear, which was to capture He Tianbao and treat him in his own way. The Baiyue Kingdom captured the emperor's younger brother of the Western Chu Kingdom, so he captured He Tianbao.
It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. He Tianbao felt his eyes flashed, and the chain had already been hooked in front of his eyes. He secretly screamed, and was about to surrender.
Suddenly, a white light suddenly shot in front of his eyes, followed closely by a long whip, which rolled up like a poisonous dragon and wrapped directly around the chain.
"go!"
Only a low shout was heard, and Yi Chenzi, who was about to fall to the door, missed the move by one step, and was missed by a whip shadow in front of him. His body fell rapidly like an eagle.
During the landing, a long roar sounded, and he landed. When he landed, his eyes looked up in surprise, full of incredulity.
He is actually an innate master!
The person who blocked him turned out to be an innate strong man!
He originally thought that there would be no mistakes in this attack, and He Tianbao was already in his pocket. But at this critical moment, an innate strong man unexpectedly shot out of the air.
What horrified him the most was that in this brief confrontation, he deeply realized how powerful the newcomer was. He was even more powerful than him, the recognized strongest martial saint among the major subordinate countries of the Daluo Empire!
Who is coming?
As far as the eye can see, there is a young man standing above the pass, standing in a floating robe, with a long whip in his hand lightly wrapped around his waist, and he is staring at Yi Chenzi calmly.
"Are you the number one martial saint in the Western Chu Kingdom, Yi Chenzi?"
The person who came was refreshed and energetic, and naturally it was Qin Wushuang who had come all the way. This whip not only saved He Tianbao, but also saved the morale of the Ziyan King who had fallen to the lowest point!
Xiantian, they all realized that there was also a Xiantian in their camp, a Xiantian who was strong enough to compete with the other party!
And when he heard that the young man revealed the name of the other party, he turned out to be the number one martial sage in the Western Chu Kingdom! At this moment, He Tianbao also took a deep breath, secretly feeling lucky that he had just escaped from death.
Yi Chenzi took a deep breath and nodded: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Baiyue Kingdom?"
The officers and soldiers behind the gate also looked at Qin Wushuang in unison. Obviously, they were also extremely curious about this question. In the Baiyue Kingdom, besides the Martial Saint who protects the country, when did another innate appear?
