Destiny Martial God

Xianyang City, in the military hall of the Ministry of War!

After putting down the military book in his hand that recorded the march records of the Northern Expedition, Yu Haoran tapped his right hand on the table while slowly closing his eyes and lost in thought.

According to the records in the military register, since the Northern Expedition army crossed Zuoniu City in Shuangniu Mountain and officially entered the territory of the Central Territory, whether it was the inherited family or the third-rate or above sect they encountered, they either opened their doors and surrendered on their own initiative, or they Violent civil unrest broke out suddenly.

In short, the process of the Northern Expedition was not only very smooth, but the price paid could be said to be minimal.

"The three elders of the He family joined forces to kill the clan leader, and personally led 1,317 people from his immediate family to surrender!"

"The sudden civil strife in the Ma family resulted in the defense of Wencheng being ineffective. General Meng led 300,000 elite troops to capture it easily!"

"The leader of the Blood Palm Sect disappeared mysteriously, and a factional fight broke out to compete for the leader's position. The sect's defensive power was reduced by 70%, and the Holy Lord personally led an army to massacre him."

"…!"

After opening his eyes and taking another look at the military brochure about the process and results of the Northern Expedition's attack on the city, Yu Haoran suddenly stopped tapping the fingers of his right hand on the table, and whispered to himself.

"Qingqiu Fox Clan!"

While participating in the battle for the Hidden Dragon List in the Southern Territory, he killed Qin Tianyi, who had his mind manipulated, and forced the mastermind Qingqiu Saint and Su Wanru, the ancestor of the Fox Clan, to appear, thereby exposing the Qingqiu Fox Clan's secret plan. and conspiracy.

The strange behaviors of the inherited families and sect forces encountered by the Northern Expedition Army were very similar to Qin Tianyi's mind being manipulated.

In other words, the forces secretly assisting Emperor Qin in his campaign in the Central Region are most likely the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the Qingqiu Mountains.

Thinking of this, the fingers of his right hand that stopped tapping tapped on the table again, and there was a trace of doubt in the originally clear eyes.

Because Emperor Qin is different from Qin Tianyi.

First of all, as the Ninth Five Supreme Being of the Great Qin Empire, Emperor Qin, who has national destiny and destiny protection, is difficult for others to control his mind.

Secondly, without being able to control his mind, given Emperor Qin's overwhelming hatred for the Qingqiu Fox Clan, it was impossible for him to form an alliance and fight side by side with them.

Finally, if Emperor Qin temporarily put aside his inner hatred and chose to cooperate with the Qingqiu Fox Clan because of his own ambitions.

Then, with the cunning and caution of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, they would definitely be wary of Emperor Qin's ambition and hatred, and should not fully assist him in improving his cultivation and strength.

Unless there is help from other forces besides the Qingqiu Fox Clan who join the Northern Expedition.

"The Zhou family!"

When he thought about other forces intervening, a figure flashed in Yu Haoran's mind, his expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly.

In the secret realm of demon sealing in the southern region, the reason why the ancient demons were able to break the seal in advance had a lot to do with the help of Zhou Youze's family leaders and formation masters.

Moreover, he believed that with Zhou Youze's methods, even if he could not form an alliance with the ancient demons in the end, he would still have the means to protect himself and leave the demon-sealing secret realm safely.

Thinking of the ancient gods and demons being sealed again by him and the four guardian families, the Zhou family lost two powerful alliance partners in succession.

Considering Zhou Youze's character and madness, it is not impossible to join forces with such an insidious and cunning force as the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

At the same time, combined with the Absolute Immortal Sword and the Immortal Trapping Sword, as well as the three Sea Suppressing Pearls, the Zhou family's background in collecting treasures is not inferior to the four guardian families.

Then, it makes sense why they could come up with conditions for Emperor Qin to temporarily put aside his hatred and choose a temporary alliance with the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

After having a real suspect in his heart, Yu Haoran looked through the records in the military register again, which further confirmed his inner speculation.

After closing the thick military register, he stood up and left the command hall of the Ministry of War, and returned to the Prince Consort's mansion in the air. However, he did not alert anyone in the mansion, but quietly returned to the practice room.

"What kind of magic weapon is the Tower Spirit, the Soul-cutting Banner? What kind of powerful effect does it have? What does it mean to the Qingqiu Fox Clan?" Sitting cross-legged in the practice room, Yu Haoran came from the domain tower He took out the soul-cutting flag as big as a palm and asked in one breath.

The reason why the Qingqiu Fox Clan is feared by countless forces is not only the powerful attacks possessed by the fox tails, but also the terrifying method they can use to manipulate the minds of living beings.

Perhaps because of Emperor Qin's status as the Ninth Five Supreme Being, he had the protection of national destiny and luck, so the Qingqiu Fox Clan could not control his mind, but it was hard to say for the commanders and generals of the Northern Expedition Army.

Therefore, before going to the Northern Expedition to deal with the Qingqiu Fox Clan, he must find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers caused by the Qingqiu Fox Clan's control of the mind.

"The Soul-cutting Banner is the nine-tailed green fox of the Qingqiu Fox Clan that deceived the last king of the Shang Dynasty. It gathered the power of the entire Shang Dynasty and was based on the flesh, flesh and soul of the nine ninth-grade peak warrior gods. Based on the corpse of the nine-headed divine realm peak soul-eating beast, it took ninety-nine years to refine the divine realm peak magic weapon, which is as powerful as the top innate spiritual treasure."

Knowing the reason why Yu Haoran interrogated the Soul Cutting Banner, and the importance of the Soul Cutting Banner to his next actions, Ta Ling introduced the Soul Cutting Banner in detail without any concealment.

"The core formation inside the Soul Cutting Banner is called the Soul-Devouring Formation. It is a peak formation of the divine realm that can forcibly capture the three souls and seven souls of living beings and kill the opponent's soul from a distance."

"At the same time, since the banner is made from the corpse of the Soul Devouring Beast, it can devour the soul that has left the body and transform it into the purest soul power, which can not only improve the realm and strength of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but also help the Qingqiu Fox Clan increase the power of manipulating the mind."

After hearing the detailed introduction of the Soul-Severing Banner by the Tower Spirit, Yu Haoran was shocked, and finally understood why the Qingqiu Fox Clan wanted to take back the Soul-Severing Banner.

For this reason, even Su Wanru, who has the realm of the Three Tribulations and the Half God, took the risk of using the means of the avatar to retake the Soul-Severing Banner.

"Tower Spirit, can the Soul-Severing Banner be used to crack the secret method of the Qingqiu Fox Clan to manipulate the mind?"

Since the Soul-Severing Banner is so important to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, then in turn, whether the ability of the Soul-Severing Banner can be used to restrain the Qingqiu Fox Clan is what Yu Haoran wants to know most now.

"Yes!"

While nodding to confirm, the Tower Spirit further explained the reason for the restraint.

"The method used by the Qingqiu Fox Clan to manipulate the minds of living beings is, to put it bluntly, a secret method of utilizing the soul in their bloodline inheritance."

"Since it is a secret method that utilizes the soul, a trace of the other party's soul power will be left in the sea of ​​consciousness of the manipulated living being."

"Then, the Soul-Severing Banner, which is not a soul of the physical body, can easily seize the soul power belonging to the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the sea of ​​consciousness of the manipulated living being."
