Jiuxiao

Nanju Kingdom occupied the vast southern part of the Taichu Continent.

After the Fairy and Demon War, the order of the four races in the three realms was re-established. The fairy race ruled the upper realm, the monster race retreated to the ruins of the North Sea, the demon race had another world, and the human race reproduced the fastest. From the initial weak group, it became the current continent The human race can be seen almost everywhere in the world, and it has become the largest and most prosperous race among the four races.

Desire did not disappear with the growth of the race itself. On the contrary, the situation in the mainland has been changing between separation and reunification. Before Zhou Yin's previous life, the mainland was still a unified dynasty. Years later, the dynasty fell apart due to war and civil strife, and became a dozen countries, large and small, headed by the five kingdoms of Dongyue, Xiling, Beichang, Nanju, Canghe.

In the past few decades after Zhou Yin's rebirth, small countries have been annexed and cannibalized. For example, Zhoujia Village, where he was born, originally belonged to Anyang Kingdom, and Anyang Kingdom had already established it more than 20 years ago. Dongyue's iron cavalry perished.

Now on the mainland, there is Dongyue in the east, Xiling in the west, Beichang in the north, Nanju in the south, and Canghe in the middle. After the other small countries have almost been wiped out, the big countries naturally turn their attention to each other.

An ambitious king will never be willing to just inherit the country left by his ancestors, let alone stop at the original territory, but a king who does not want to be annexed by the weak must work hard to cultivate his country's military, economy, and The strength of monks.

Therefore, every war between countries is nothing more than the law of the jungle and the supremacy of strength.

In this case, Dongyue's war against Nanju was not just driven by the upper realm.

Dongyue is close to the East China Sea, and the land is fertile. Relatively, it is also the most powerful among the five countries.

The current Dongyue King is a more capable person than all his fathers.

A capable monarch, of course, has the dream of dominating the world.

He supported the Right Prime Minister Jiang Hui and suppressed Hui Jun, the former Marshal of the Pingnan Army, not because he listened to slander, but because Hui Jun had too much military power and had already deterred the royal power, so he needed to take back his power. This is not the same as Hui Jun or Jiang Hui It doesn't matter who is loyal and who is traitor, it is purely the emperor's mind.As for Jiang Hui being killed by Zhou Yin later, although it was unexpected, it was just the right prime minister. Without Jiang Hui, the country can still function as it should be, just to promote another one.

After the country had a unified strength, the Dongyue monarch began to think about what he should do.

Canghe Kingdom itself is also very powerful, and it is not a bone to chew on. If Dongyue attacks Canghe, the best result is that both sides will suffer, and other countries will benefit.

Although Beichang is relatively weak, but the climate is harsh, the land is barren, and the foreign race is fierce and good at fighting, it is of no benefit to defeat it, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

As for Xiling, with Canghe and Nanju separated, it was even more impossible for the Dongyue army to drive directly there.

So he turned his attention to Nanju.

Nanju has humid land, pleasant climate, rich products, rich country, and middle-level strength among the countries, so it is an ideal target.

But relying on Dongyue alone, it is definitely impossible to swallow Nanju in one go. The result of doing so is to attract dissatisfaction from Canghe and Xiling, and Dongyue will also be in a bad situation at that time.

So the best way is for Dongyue and Canghe to unite and form an alliance to carve up Nanju together. At that time, as long as Dongyue occupies the south of Nanju, so as to open up the key to Xiling, it can lay the foundation for attacking Xiling in the future. Not only that, once Xiling is captured in the future, Canghe in the middle can be surrounded by three sides.

This is a typical long-distance and close-attack strategy, step by step strategy. It has to be said that this is a very long-term plan.

Under Dongyue King's plan, and it just happened that the upper realm wanted to eliminate mortal monks, Tiandi Chengming chose Dongyue's Lingtai Temple as a starting point to realize his plan.

It can be said that the unintentional combination of the two is completely in the interests of both parties.Although Dongyue King didn't know that Lingtai Temple was behind the Upper Realm, this did not prevent him from supporting Lingtai Temple, because in his opinion, the goal of Lingtai Temple to unify the world's cultivation sects and to unify the continent with Dongyue is not the goal. contradiction.

The capital of Nanju is located in Tanjing, which is in the south of Nanju, not far from the coastline. If the monarch of Nanju Liguo is alive in heaven, he will definitely be grateful for his wise decision to establish the capital in Tanjing, because under the fierce offensive of Dongyue , and now most of the northern part of Nanju has been caught in the flames of war.

Lingzhou, which is a little closer to the border between the two countries, has already become Dongyue's possession, and the ones farther away, like Zhongzhou, are also in jeopardy.

Luling outside Zhongzhou City is just a town, but it is a transportation fortress and an important military town. The two armies clashed, and many troops were lost here. Originally, the Nanju Army was already at a disadvantage, and Luling was about to be lost. The state was almost lost, but at this moment, Master Kassapa died.

Jiaye is the soul of Lingtai Temple, and Lingtai Temple is the reliance of Dongyue Kingdom. Now that Jiaye died, the Dongyue Army was in chaos and was almost taken advantage of by the enemy. At the critical moment, Marshal Lu Da of the Pingnan Army stood up and still ordered The army set out to compete with the Nanju army for Luling.

Although the monks of Lingtai Temple were panicked by Kasyapa's death, they were already tied to the same chariot with Dongyue Kingdom at this time, and it was impossible to leave immediately. Kassapa died, and they had to win the battle first Let's talk about the war.

When the Nanju army heard about Kasyapa's death, their morale was naturally boosted. They were completely different from the Dongyue army. They were all gearing up and wanted to kill a few heads to make meritorious service in this battle, not to mention that they had Qinggumen on their side. Patriarch Lexian's presence is almost guaranteed.

Right now, outside Luling Town, a war is imminent.

Swords and swords, horns and drums contend, and thousands of troops are waiting in full battle.

Spring in early March should be the most beautiful season. The pear blossoms in Luling are in full bloom, and the eyes are full of large expanses of snow-white, flawless as fine suet jade. If a literati is here, they must recite three or five poems about pear blossoms. give up.However, at this moment, these bright and clean petals seemed to be just a ceremony before the war, a prelude to the coming bloody storm.

In the center of the front of the army, a bronze chariot was pulled by four horses, and a man sat cross-legged on it. He had white hair and a childlike face, and his red clothes were like blood. He was the famous Patriarch Lexian.

A dozen or so monks gathered around him, all riding on horses, and next to him was General Nanju who led the army this time.

Behind them, tens of thousands of troops, including infantry and cavalry, were waiting in formation.

On Dongyue, the abbot of Lingtai Temple was succeeded by his eldest disciple Feichen. In order to improve the strength of Lingtai Temple, Jiaye once opened the door for his disciples to help them reshape their spiritual roots with the power of immortals, and transformed their cultivation In order to greatly improve, now that Kassapa is dead, those disciples under him can take care of themselves.

For example, the Buddha cultivator Qingchen who is in the Dongyue camp in front of him, as Feichen's younger brother, has already cultivated at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are several Dongyue monks around him who are also in the late Jindan period.

Patriarch Lexian of Qinggumen stroked his long hair on the side of his cheek, and looked at the other party counting the number of people, without any nervousness on the battlefield.

"Since your teacher is dead, if you surrender now, I will spare you from dying."

Qingchen smiled coldly, and raised his hands and sleeves without talking nonsense.

A white light flashed from the sleeve, before everyone could see where they were going, they had already arrived in front of Patriarch Lexian!

Patriarch Lexian's expression remained lazy, he just raised his hand, waved his sleeve lightly, and the white light instantly deflected and landed on the ground in front of the chariot.

With a bang, countless dust was blown up, all of which were blocked outside the barrier.

Qingchen's face remained unchanged, and he said something to the side and a monk, and those people flew to the middle of the two armies and stood in a strange position.

Although Patriarch Lexian couldn't hear what he said, but seeing this posture, he knew that the other party was going to form an formation.

He snorted, but didn't take it to heart.

Sure enough, those people sacrificed magic weapons respectively, and magic weapons of different colors swirled above everyone's heads.

In front of the Nanju army formation, everyone saw that the scenery in front of them changed accordingly. The opposite side was no longer the armored Dongyue army, but a gray, vast and boundless mist.

Patriarch Lexian straightened his body, but still had a disdainful smile on his face.

"Break the formation," he said.

"Yes!" The monks beside him responded, and flew out one after another, their bodies submerged in the mist.

It has almost become a custom for monks to fight before the battle of the armies.

The soldiers on both sides watched the monks' strange moves intently, with expressions of awe and amazement on their faces.

The supernatural powers of monks are a world beyond the reach of ordinary people like them in their lifetime.

This fog is obviously not an illusion, and it is not just an illusion created by the joint efforts of several Golden Core monks.

There are many traps in the mist, dangers emerge one after another, flashes of light and shouts from time to time, it is obvious that the Qinggumen monks who went in just now, some are fighting, some are breaking the formation, but they can't solve it for a while.

Qingchen's mocking voice came from the other side of the mist: "Le Xian, aren't you omnipotent, now you can taste the wind flashing your tongue?"

This formation was taught by Kasyapa, so it goes without saying that it is powerful.

Patriarch Lexian is a very arrogant person, even with his actions, the whole Qinggumen is also very arrogant, otherwise the Qinggumen would not have no allies, but he does have the capital of arrogance.

Just like right now.

He got up slowly, dusted the corner of his clothes, and at some point there was a dust whisk in his hand.

The roots of the dust whisk are black and shiny, as if painted with oil. The dust handle is carved from a whole piece of black jade, and many talismans and mantras are engraved on it. If Zhou Yin is here, you can tell at a glance that it is very precious. A rare high-level magic weapon.

Patriarch Lexian picked up his whisk and waved it left and right in front of him twice, his movements were unhurried.

The white mist in front of him gradually parted from the middle with his flicking movements, revealing the situation inside.

But I saw a few Dongyue monks forming a circle, standing still with each hand pinching the formula, the Qinggumen monks were surrounded by the circle, their eyes were red, they looked crazy, and they were killing each other.

Patriarch Lexian snorted lightly.

The volume was obviously not loud, but everyone felt a thunder in their ears in an instant, everyone in the field was slightly shocked, and those monks who had fallen into madness suddenly woke up.

The formation showed signs of being untenable, Patriarch Lexian persisted in swiping the whisk for a few more times, suddenly there was a gust of wind, the wind and sand filled the sky, and the wind turned into sharp blades, hitting the few cultivators who were forming the formation hard, forcing them to go He fell forward and vomited blood.

The Patriarch Lexian didn't stop moving, he flew up from the ground, the whisk suddenly stood up, stretched like a wire, stretched infinitely, and plunged towards Qingchen.

The attack was as fast as thunder, no one could see how he moved, and he had already reached Qingchen's head in a blink of an eye!

Qingchen's protective barrier couldn't stop Patriarch Lexian, but his reaction was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he pulled out the golden flower and silver leaf staff left by Kasyapa from the storage magic weapon, and waved his hand at the wire whisk.

Unexpectedly, those iron wires were extremely hard, the tin rod bounced back immediately after hitting it, and it couldn't be shaken by half.

Qingchen gritted his teeth, added a lot of spiritual power to it, squeezed a Lie Yan Jue with one hand and attached it to the tin stick.

The tin rod was entangled with the whisk under the mighty fire, and the two of them, holding their magic weapons in their hands, also flew up into the air. Flying dust is everywhere, and the situation changes color.

The people below were so angry that they didn't dare to show it.

Including Patriarch Lexian and Qingchen, no one noticed that the originally sunny sky had gradually turned dark, with dark clouds and endless turbulence.

After about a stick of incense passed by, after all, Patriarch Lexian's cultivation base was superior. Hearing him sneer twice, Qingchen immediately became vigilant, but before he could react, he saw Patriarch Lexian twist his wrist, The whisk then twisted, and the strength of the golden flower and silver leaf stick became stronger in an instant. Qingchen could hardly hold it, and resisted letting go, adding a lot of spiritual power to it.

However, his mind was on the golden flower and silver leaf staff, so he must have ignored the opponent's movements, even if it was just a breath, it was enough for a master!

Patriarch Lexian suddenly turned his palm into a claw, his left hand was covered with a thick layer of black air at some point, his five fingers were sharp, peeking at the hole in his neck, and grabbed it fiercely!

There was a bang, and there was a burst of thunder above the head, and the sky became completely dark at some point, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and it went straight to Patriarch Lexian.

Patriarch Lexian was shocked, and he didn't care about Sha Qingchen, he retracted the whisk, and flew back, avoiding the thunder and lightning that happened to hit him just now.

The thunder was rolling, the lightning was brighter than the other, and the dark clouds were overwhelming the city. Not far away, the entire Luling Town seemed to be crushed, and there was an indescribable dullness.

The sudden weird weather and everything that happened in front of them made everyone forget their reactions. They all stared blankly at Patriarch Lexian, who was still invincible just now. Back and forth.

What exactly is going on?

High-level monks may be able to call the wind and call the rain, but that is only within a small area, it is absolutely impossible to create such a big momentum, it looks like a celestial phenomenon that has passed through the catastrophe, even the ancestor Le Xian can't do it, Qingchen is even more can't.

So Qingchen didn't hide his surprise.

Is it God's punishment?

At that moment, such a question emerged in everyone's mind.

And their answers were quickly answered.

On that day, everyone on the battlefield will never forget the scene they saw.

Among the turbulent thunderclouds, suddenly a beam of light shot down from the clouds, connecting to the ground.

Then, like a ladder, a person appeared in the beam of light.

Standing in mid-air, he looked at the people below indifferently, as if looking down on ants.

"Who is Patriarch Lexian?" He asked, his voice was very nice, but extremely cold, even more proud than Patriarch Lexian.

He was actually a Void Refining Cultivator!

For monks, everyone knows what the realm of refining the void means, it means ascending to the upper realm, crossing the catastrophe and becoming a fairy!

In front of them, a living fairy appeared in front of them.

Why did the gods from the upper realm appear on the battlefield between the two countries?

No one can explain this problem.

The monks present were terrified and could not make a sound.

Even if the ordinary soldiers didn't know the origin of this failed guest, they were already so oppressed by its power that they couldn't move a single bit.

Patriarch Lexian had already realized it, and before he had time to think about it, his years of monk life made him feel bad. He protected Fuchen in front of his body, and built a protective barrier to raise his spiritual power to the extreme.

He is arrogant, but he is also very clear that it is impossible for him to face a monk who is in the realm of refinement, let alone the other party who is obviously not good at coming.

The man looked around and his eyes fell on Patriarch Lexian.

Le Xian jumped up in an instant and flew back tens of feet!

When he moved, the man also moved!

In fact, the gods of the upper realm, to put it bluntly, are the upgraded versions of the monks of the lower realm. Seal, you can find his essence.

However, for high-level monks, a little higher cultivation base is enough.

He is already faster than Patriarch Lexian!

Then he turned around and stretched out his hand, white light flew out of his hand, and before Patriarch Lexian had time to raise his fly whisk, the white light had already penetrated the protective barrier, and even penetrated his heart.

With a puff, Patriarch Lexian's body had a blood hole the size of a bowl, and he fell from a high altitude, with an expression of disbelief still on his face.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, their minds went blank.
