The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 58 Before the Battle
"I ordered twelve Yellow Turban Taoist soldiers to command forty-nine pieces of paper to drive away evil spirits and to be the vanguard camp."

"Give each member of the Jinfan navy a blue crane to serve as a scout camp."

"The other Taoists and I are in the main camp. We are the main army of the main cultivation. Each of us holds a wind order and a wind flag, forming a Tianluo Gangfeng formation to prepare for a head-on decisive battle!"

Taoist soldiers are paper soldiers, so it is natural for them to serve as vanguards. After all, compared with the immortal way, the training cycle and the time it takes to form combat power are shorter. Other aristocratic families offer generous salaries to support Taoist soldiers and use them as vanguards in expeditions.

Taoist soldiers are in charge of destiny!
Furthermore, with paper soldiers in front of him, Wu Yong did not have the kind of discrimination based on the cultivation contempt chain, and would not let the Yellow Turban Taoist soldiers be used as cannon fodder after all.

As for the cultivators of the Feng family, almost every first-level Taoist has a Wind-Controlling Decree, and the Wind-Controlling Banner that every second-level sorcerer must practice is one of the Feng Dao family's signature tricks.

Dozens or even hundreds of cultivators used wind magic at the same time. Under the guidance and control of the Wind-Controlling Banners, the chaotic gusts of wind were combined with each other in an inexplicable pattern, forming a huge formation of strong winds like a net covering the sky and the earth.

It can also be combined with water and fire techniques. No matter it is the roaring force of naval battles or the strong wind and fierce fire, they are all extremely good killing formations. Once the formation is opened, no one can break it except a magician!
Naturally, the Feng family's regular soldiers at this time are more suitable to be the main camp, and are also the axis of the final decisive battle.

His future positioning is that the Taoist soldiers will serve as the vanguard of combat cultivation, commanding spirits, demons, monsters and ghosts to form the first line of defense.

Let the immortals serve as the magic army in the main camp, using Taoism, magic, barriers, etc. as tools to win the battle.
In this way, there are only a few hundred Taoist soldiers and immortal cultivators, but the demons and ghosts they drive can number in the tens of thousands. They then use the method of restraint to capture the local monsters and ferocious beasts to form an ant army. This is the terrifying reputation of the immortal way in all realms.

Before the two realms fought, it was clear that both sides had about the same number of people, but after the battle began, the group of immortal cultivators had a steady stream of combat power, so many that it was staggering, and the indigenous cultivators were directly questioning their lives.
Wu Xuan was appointed as the military supervisor of the Taoist camp and the commander of Zhichang, Wu Yong was in charge of the main camp, and Cui Yaer's group of rangers and Taoist priests were scattered out to act as scouts and sentinels. Thus, a battle group was initially formed.

"Well, you guys pack up your camp and rest for a while. I'll go to the Cloud Tower to get the order."

Wu Yong and several sorcerers had already reached a consensus on the tactics and formation of the battle team. Now was the time to encourage each other and form the troops before the battle.

After giving the order, Wu Yong led Wu Changgui to the cloud tower that was floating in the misty clouds.

The eldest son of the Jing family and the prince of Yunmeng Fairy City is back!

The two of them quickly climbed up the cloud tower, and Wu Changgui, who was accompanying them, was a little confused.

"Master, haven't the three families of Dongjun temporarily followed the signal of the county government and advanced and retreated together? Why are we now separated?"

How can this be seen as the Dongjun Alliance advancing and retreating together?

Wu Yong looked at the hundred-foot-high cloud ladder. When he heard Wu Changgui's words, he shook his head and lowered his voice, saying:
"This prince is so domineering that he won't tolerate any alliances or factions among the various families in Dongzhou. We must avoid suspicion, and you'd better watch your mouth!"

"At least on the surface, we'll just go our separate ways, got it?"

"Yes!" Wu Changgui responded with a fist, only to feel a chill on the back of his neck.

He grew up listening to the legend of Prince Yunmeng. The legend of looking down on the world and being the only one in Dongzhou was embodied in this prince!

When he first embarked on the path of cultivation, this prince once went alone into the Penglai Sea and chased the enemies for 43,000 miles. He used his spiritual practice to kill a True Lord of the Shenlu Sect alone. For this great achievement, he was elected as the prince by the thirteen branches of the Yunmeng Jing family.

Even except for the three True Lords of the Jing family, all the rest, whether brothers, uncles, or higher-level clan members, must pay homage to him and call him True Lord Jingxiao.

The third level of Taoism is called Zhenjun, and no one in the Nine Provinces has any objection to it!
Faced with such a powerful person, the noble families in Dongzhou had no choice but to be alert and deal with him cautiously.

Thinking of the prince's tyranny, Wu Changgui shrank his head and quickly followed Wu Yong.
"I heard that we will be leaving tomorrow. Hehe, luckily I just bought a snow eagle beast from the little guy from Yinhuan Ma yesterday."

"Yes! I heard that Prince Yunmeng had just finished resolving the fight between the two counties in Fengling, and seeing that the governor had not returned, he wanted to personally send us to the Qingyun Realm!"

"Oh, you are so well-informed. What happened to Fengling and Shouchun? Who won?"

"Who else can win? Shouchun Yuan is a direct descendant of the first-class family - Taiyin Yuan, and he has several great magicians to protect him. But the Lingbei Alliance headed by the four Fengling families is not so easy to talk to. The two counties have been fighting on the banks of the Jingshui River for almost two months, and several magicians have died."

"Right, right, right! I heard that the two counties were fighting fiercely. Shouchun Yuan didn't look down on the small alliance of local states and counties. Three great magicians went to the battlefield directly, but the Lingbei Alliance didn't tolerate them. The two Yin Shen Zhenxiu from the Yang and Li clans even traveled out of their bodies at night and moved high during the day. They used the great magical powers of Mu Yue and Yu Ri together, and the fight was so fierce that it was dark and chaotic."

"Oh~ Yin God. A third-level Yin God who practices Qigong is traveling? That's true. If it's a ruthless person who practices Qigong, then it makes sense. But why do you know so much about it?"

"Humph! I'm from Li County. I passed by Fengling Ferry when I came to Xiancheng and saw it with my own eyes."

"."

Before entering this palace in the clouds, their footsteps were still on the jade steps of the cloud corridor, and they heard blatant whispering in the outer hall.

It seems that the dispute between Fengling County and Shouchun Yuan has really attracted a lot of attention!
But it's also a good thing. If the four Fengling families are ruined by Shouchun, the remaining payment of more than 10 million Daozhu that the Wu family transferred from the Penglai route will be a bad debt.

This Yuan family member is just like Xu Yin, outsiders who come here to do things that are not decent.

"Wu family patriarch, please come this way!"

A maidservant walked towards Wu Yong with graceful steps, knelt down in greeting, then extended her right hand and led Wu Yong to the inner hall.

The Taoist boys on both sides immediately brought the attendant Wu Changgui to the outer hall.

After taking a quick glance at the back, Wu Yong nodded slightly and followed the maid straight into the inner hall.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw that the heads of various families were already sitting upright, except for him.

He is the last one to arrive again!
"This group of old guys, I have already arrived half an hour earlier, but they are still ahead of me?" Wu Yong looked at the leaders of the Ying and Zhou families with some resentment.

Fortunately, he was not late, otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

After finding his seat, Wu Yong sat down calmly, waiting for the prince to appear.

Soon, when the agreed time arrived, the heads of the various families only felt the air suddenly thicken, and a young man in a purple robe appeared on the main seat.

He sat upright on the main seat, his posture and expression meticulous, just like the model in "Tao Li" that the children of aristocratic families learned since childhood. This was the heir to a top aristocratic family.

Looking from almost every angle, one could only see the word "solemn" on the young man's face. His solemn expression overwhelmed the entire hall and cast a layer of gloom over everyone's heart!
"The governor hasn't returned yet, so maybe there's some delay, but the agreed date has arrived, the families are waiting, and the Taoist army in Qingyun is also waiting, so I'll just send you off in person."

Jing Xiao sat upright in the main seat, looking around at everyone.

"To go to Qingyun Realm, the eleven families must split into two directions, one going to the South Continent Cloud Land, and the other going to the West Continent Cloud Land."

"There is a demon country on the West Continent, which commands hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers in Yuntu. The ruler calls himself the Great Immortal Huangmei, and is a great demon king who can only be subdued by a top-level magician." "Of the four continents in Yuntu, the most vicious demons have been locked up in the North Continent by the governor, and the East Continent is occupied by my Jing family. The West Continent and the South Continent are also full of demons."

"Originally, I, Yunmeng, was going to cultivate the Qingyun Realm for hundreds of years and completely control the three continents. However, now that you all know about the great changes in the Dao Court, I, Yunmeng, had no choice but to withdraw half of the Dao Army and return."

"I am Yunmeng, a second-rank official. I am one of the four true lords. I am capable of protecting Dongzhou. If the Jing family is safe, Dongzhou will be safe. If Dongzhou is safe, your families will also be able to prosper."

Did he think of himself as a true god? Or had he already attained the primordial spirit without realizing it?
Jing Xiao didn't care what everyone else said and started his division directly.

"These two continents, which have been reclaimed by my Jing clan, will be shared with you. The unowned land will belong to whoever can conquer it. You can circle the land and run your horses as much as you want!"

"Why do you think my Jing clan branch keeps making things difficult for you? This is a familiar place that they have spent half a century to circle out."

The chief seat chuckled, then his voice sank and he looked towards the ancestor of the Zhao family - Zhao Zhen.

"Zhao Zhen, the governor specifically asked you to go to Xizhou to subdue the Yellow Eyebrowed Demon King. You can choose five of the eleven families present to form a military alliance."

"As for the Yuntu Continent, my Yunmeng Jing Clan can divide the land with you and govern it separately."

The demon kingdom on earth, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, and the top demon king.
Although Zhao Zhen had some guesses, the difficulty was indeed somewhat surprising. Even if he promised to choose any assistant or even split the land to be crowned king, it was still unacceptable to Zhao Zhen.

What does it mean to have a demon kingdom on earth with hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers? It can't be defeated by the power of a county alone. Do you really think that they can defeat it with just a few scattered guards?

"Haha. I knew that the governor's empty words wouldn't impress you."

"But I can make a private agreement with you. If you are willing to help me take over Xiheniuzhou, you can use its center as the boundary and divide the land between us."

After saying that, he took out a jade bottle filled with the energy of creation from his sleeve and held it in his palm.

"The immortal green flower, the elixir of good fortune that can extend one and a half decades of life, was given to me by the immortal when I first met him."

"If I use this to my advantage, Zhao Zhen, are you willing to help me take over Xihe Niuzhou?"

As soon as the Immortal Dew of Longevity appeared in Jing Xiao's hand, all the mages in the field were shocked, especially the old mages who could not hide their desire.

This is an elixir that can extend one's life by nearly a hundred years without any responsibility. For a wizard whose life span is over eight hundred years and whose deadline is within a thousand years, it is already a miracle drug.

However, I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire East Continent who can take on the task of restraining and eliminating the demon country on the ground. Only Zhao's meal has been in the morning dew for 600 years and has trained the morning glow purple qi into the golden glow of the top magician.

Moreover, he was stuck at the limit of 700. If he went any higher, he would not be able to go any further. But at this moment, if he could continue to reach the peak for another 100 years with the immortal dew, perhaps he could also explore the mystery of the primordial spirit!

"Are they willing to obey my orders? Moreover, these Taoist armies are too weak. I must re-select the elites to form an army."

"After the Black Water Ying family transformed into a dragon, they are almost as powerful as the third level. The Five Fire Zhou family's flame formation is famous in Dongzhou. The swordsmanship of the old Taoist Xu Yin is just right for killing on the battlefield. The beast taming method of the Silver Ring Ma family is also very useful. And the Fuyao Wu family, the three battalions of the court guards are just right for this kind of battle to cut down mountains and destroy temples!"

Zhao Zhen's words immediately made the other families' faces frown.

You would plan to take the descendants of the Black Water Ying family after the evil spirit turned into a dragon, the precious enchantment of the Five Fire Zhou family, the beast-taming disciples of the Silver Ring Ma family, and even more outrageously, the three battalions of the Wu family's guards, and even the patrol officer himself.
Shouldn't the most prominent families in Dongzhou open their boxes to repay him in exchange for the bottle of longevity elixir?

"Wu Yong. Tianxiang Xunshi sought a seat for him in Nanzhou, and wanted him to conquer the Fire Crow Flame Valley in Nanzhanbuzhou as a test for him!"

"That was a hurdle set up for him by the Great True Lord of the Xun family in the Dao Court-Yuxu Palace. It was the stepping stone for Wu Yong to enter the Yujing True Transmission Circle."

"He can't move!"

Jing Xiao curled the corner of his mouth and repeated Xun's words without changing them, even adding some words.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators in the field suddenly turned their heads to look at the young patriarch of the Wu family. Wu Yong was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and drank two sips of tea.

He was originally watching the extreme tug of war between "True Lord Jingxiao" and Zhao Zhen, and then he saw the two of them bypass the governor and make a private appointment.

Could it be that this prince wants to steal his father's girl?
But before he could finish watching the fun, how did he get involved?
"This kid, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come he has such good luck? He can even get in touch with Yujing."

"It's great to have someone above you. It's not like you and me, who have to take credit for our hard work for old man Zhao."

"Look at Master Xu, even he himself was chosen to be the forward? Hehehehe"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the practitioners in the field began to express their dissatisfaction through teasing.

The black-robed wizard of the Ying family stood up suddenly and opposed this arrangement on the spot.

“No, there are only a few people in my Ying family who can cultivate the Black Dragon Dharma Body. They are all legitimate sons of the family with strong True Spirit bloodlines, and there are only the three of us who can cultivate the Black Dragon’s True Body.”

"Old Man Zhao, do you want me to be your vanguard?"

The black-robed wizard's face turned cold and thunder exploded outside the hall. Although his fighting power was slightly inferior to that of Ji, he had awakened the black dragon bloodline and proved his true form as a black dragon, which still far exceeded that of ordinary wizards.

Let him be the pioneer? I'm afraid Zhao Zhen doesn't have the nerve to do that!
"Don't worry, we can discuss the dispatch of troops from different families. If you really don't have enough troops, I can also allocate two battalions of rampant soldiers and French soldiers to you."

Jing Xiao pressed his hands lightly in front of him, making Wu Yong feel suffocated. It was as if he was pressed down on the spot by a prehistoric beast. He dared not move at all. The Lingguan Sutra and Huangtian Taoist robe on his body were about to react.

But Wu Yong stopped the movement of his spiritual treasure and magic power in time, and together with the others, he lowered his head and waited for the orders of Master Jingxiao!
"Zi Ling - Zhao, Hei Shui - Ying, Wu Huo - Zhou, Yin Huan - Ma, Taoist Xu Yin, Qing Zhu - Liang. The two families of Dong Jun, the two families of Hei Shan, and the two families of Jiangshang in Danyang, with the combined strength of the six families, Xihe Niuzhou will belong to you."

"The details can be discussed later, but we will just reorganize six Taoist armies!"

"The two families in Li County, Danyang County, the Zhu family in Heishan, and the Wu family in Fuyao should go to Nanzhanbuzhou."

"The first round of land reclamation will last for ten years. After ten years, you can increase or decrease the troops, or even withdraw. It's all up to you. The spiritual land and output that are opened will also be permanently reserved for you!"

"That's it, I will send the five families from the Southern Continent to take turns. Zhao Zhen, you should think about it carefully."
