Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

As the war spread, the raging flames dyed the night sky blood red, like a long river woven by flames, winding down from the branches of Yushan Mountain and swallowing up the valleys under the Great Wall.

In that sea of ​​fire, numerous ferocious beasts were wreaking havoc, releasing terrifying power.

Among them, the insect poison with a strength of up to level five feeds on fire, attacks cities and plunders land, and clears the way for the army of ferocious beasts.

"General Zuo, the northern border defense line is already shaky, and many soldiers are no longer able to fight. If we don't get any more support, I'm afraid..."

On the top of the mountains, in the commander-in-chief’s tent of the Ningyuan Army, the generals witnessed the battle line getting closer and closer, and once again faced the decision of whether to retreat.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. You and I both know that abandoning the Great Wall is part of the plan. It is to put pressure on the Empress. The family will not sit idly by and watch the beasts invade the northern border."

General Zuo's face was solemn and his breathing was unstable. It was obvious that he had underestimated the wisdom and cruelty of the ferocious beast in the last battle. Although he escaped by chance, the subsequent developments had exceeded his expectations.

Especially the collapse of the Great Wall defense line and the cunning of the wise king of ferocious beasts, these were things that he, the leader of the army, had not foreseen.

Now, he can only rely on the power of the Ningyuan Army’s top leaders.

Otherwise, the loss of the northern border defense line will cause the northern border territory that Yan State has managed for many years to once again become a barren land.

"Report! General, a level 6 beast was spotted on our right wing!"

Suddenly, a roar came from behind. General Zuo's face changed abruptly and he turned around to look.

Under the red night sky, thick fog surged towards the mountains like a tide. Wherever it passed, ice flowers bloomed, rocks collapsed, and the earth was frozen.

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed to come from ancient times, a giant beast covered with an iceberg shell appeared in the distance like a small mountain.

"A sixth-level ice-armored dragon turtle? This beast shouldn't be here."

"General, I'm afraid we have no way to retreat."

General Zuo's team members looked at the terrifying creature with ice spikes on its back and walking on ice, with despair on their faces.

The sixth-level ferocious beast has not appeared in the world for a very long time, and it was only recorded at the time of the founding of the State of Yan.

Their reappearance in the human world now means that this beast tide is of great significance. It is an all-out attack on the human race by ferocious beasts.

Moreover, the timing chosen by the ferocious beast was too coincidental, as it was the moment when the border troops were trying to break free from the control of the imperial court.

During the power struggle between the imperial court and the border troops, they were unable to fight with all their strength due to weighing the interests.

With premeditation and without any warning, the ferocious beasts launched a general attack on the State of Yan!

"Crash!"

The ice spread and the fire was suppressed in an instant. In the thick smoke, the sixth-level behemoth looked down from above, overlooking General Zuo and others on the mountain.

In the icy mist beneath their feet, ferocious beasts slowly walked out, their red eyes locked on the nearest Ningyuan Army soldiers.

This fierce battle finally broke out after the fire barrier disappeared.

Sharp screams were heard from the front line as hundreds of small ferocious beasts charged forward like lightning. Most of the soldiers on the front line were controllers of kerosene insects and wind-powered insects.

According to the Ningyuan Army's tactics, even if the Great Wall was lost, they could still resist the beast tide by building a wall of fire between the mountains.

However, they underestimated the impact of the beast tide and their defeat was inevitable.

"This battle will be the most difficult battle since the establishment of my Ningyuan Army. I have no time to pursue right and wrong. I only know that I must pay a price to save and atone." General Zuo sighed and looked at the defeated front line under his feet with compassion in his eyes.

He was once one of these 30,000 people. Due to his Wu family bloodline and his extraordinary talent, he was able to control an army at a young age.

But now, he does not think this is an honor. Instead, he feels that it is his own ignorance and blind loyalty that led to this tragic defeat.

"The door of Yan State has been opened, and the Wu family will surely go down in history, whether it's from your human race or our side." A thunderous voice cut through the sky and echoed in everyone's ears.

General Zuo tightly grasped his sword, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit: "The ancestors of our Yan State were able to kill and suppress you, so we, the younger generation, may not be unable to do so either!"

The voice disappeared, as if recalling the pain of the past, or as if mocking General Zuo's arrogance.

Afterwards, an endless tide of beasts flooded the mountainous area. The 30,000 Ningyuan soldiers were surrounded, and screams rang out one after another.

The giant beast spewed lava from its mouth, shattering its vitality shield. The Gu beast, which was eager to protect its master, was burned to charcoal.

The giant beast trampled past, the mountains shook, the ground cracked, and the soldiers of the Ningyuan Army could not stand steadily and were unable to fight back.

Broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere, and blood gathered into a stream, dyeing the bluestone valley bottom red.

The tragic and brutal battle was taking place all the time, and the soldiers of the Ningyuan Army also fell into madness.

This is not a battle with humans. There is no possibility of surrender or negotiation. The only way to survive is to fight to death.

……

At the Ningyuan Army headquarters, in the Wu family's meeting hall, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

"Elders, Wu Yun is the son of the clan leader. He is gifted and is truly a rare talent in our Wu family. I met him by chance in the wilderness and brought him back. What's wrong with this?" The general of the Wu family's side branch held his head high and faced the scrutiny of many senior officials calmly.

At this time, a servant was holding the broken deer-patterned bracelet in his hand, quietly moving among the crowd, delivering evidence of disobeying military orders.

"There is only one son of the clan leader. How can you, a mere bystander, interfere?"

The great elder's eyes were wide open, and he overturned the tray in the servant's hand with one hand. His hair and beard stood on end, and he scolded angrily.

"Although I am from the collateral branch, my achievements today are all due to the support of the brothers and sisters of the Wu family. I may not have the right to inquire about the affairs of the direct line, but I firmly believe that everything I do is for the benefit of the family, whether it is the direct line or the collateral line."

The general had a firm look and sharp eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.

"How dare you, a member of the side branch, be so rude to the elders of the clan?"

Several powerful elders of the Wu family had livid faces and eyes as sharp as hawks, making the atmosphere even more tense.

"Elders, calm down. I want to ask this brother a few questions."

A young and mature member of the clan stepped out of the crowd, his eyes full of contempt and provocation, and sneered, "Brother, you claim that Wu Yun is the eldest son of our Wu family. I wonder what evidence you have?"

"The suppressive power of the direct bloodline is ironclad evidence. There is no need to provoke his anger. Just standing in front of him, you can feel the surge of blood power." The general answered calmly, ignoring the other party's provocation.

"Perhaps his bloodline has mutated, and one of his parents has Wu family bloodline, but this does not prove that he is a direct descendant of the Wu family. He may be lucky, but that's all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned. Things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction.

"The reason why the direct bloodline is noble is because of its orthodoxy. Wu Yun never grew up in our Wu family, let alone practiced our Wu family's skills. Even if he has the power of blood, he may not be a direct descendant of our Wu family. I wonder if the elders think what I said is right or wrong?"

The young and mature man glanced at the crowd and spoke in a loud voice.

"This..." The elders looked at each other in silence, not daring to draw conclusions easily.

"If you have the direct bloodline, you are the direct descendant of the Wu family. If you have outstanding abilities and strength, you are qualified to become the head of our Wu family. If you want to break the supreme status of bloodline, you should not just rely on verbal disputes!"

The general sneered and exposed the other party's true face.

"I am also from the side branch of the Wu family, and I believe that the legitimate heir of the Wu family should be born within the clan. Is there anything wrong with me supporting the eldest son? Do you want to challenge the legitimate power of the Wu family as a side branch?" The mature young man responded sharply.
