Chapter 622: Strategic Retreat
"Father. ”
Qi Jiuyang shouted loudly: "I'll wait for you to come back!"
Qi Wanhai, the old sect master of the Sword Sect, paused, and his back, which was as straight as pine bamboo, stiffened for a moment.
But only for a moment.
Qi Wanhai straightened up again, waved his hand silently, and stepped into the gate of the starry sky with one foot.
Qi Jiuyang bent down and bowed, his eyes a little red.
For as long as I can remember.
Qi Jiuyang rarely called Qi Wanhai, who was the sect master of the Sword Sect at the time, a father, because he was asked by his mother to call the sect master with the other senior brothers and sisters.
The last time he called his father, it was when Qi Wanhai stepped down thirty years ago and passed the position of sect master to Qi Jiuyang, Qi Jiuyang shouted softly.
Qi Jiuyang still remembers his father, who has a cold face all the year round, and smiled at him as a son for the first time, and his smile was full of indebtedness.
Today, Qi Jiuyang suddenly wanted to shout, because he was afraid that he would never have a chance in the future.
"Wait for the master to return!"
"Wait for the master to return!"
"Wait for my sister to come back!"
The other nine heads of the Holy Land bowed at the same time.
There were fathers and sons, and there were brothers and sisters, looking at the departing eleven backs, and their eyes were red at the same time.
Because it's very dangerous to go to the moon.
Although most of these eleven old sect masters and pavilion masters are at the peak of Jindan, it is really worrying to go deep into the hinterland of the Moon Clan.
Eleven did not respond, and the starry sky gate gradually closed.
Under the Sword Sect's holy weapon.
The ten heads of the Holy Land, including the Red Fire Dao people and Qi Jiuyang, fell into silence at the same time, and it took a long time for someone to speak.
It was Daoist Mo Lian, and she said softly, "Let's disperse." ”
"Sect Master Mo. ”
The Red Fire Daoist muttered, "Do you think what Tan Chang said today is somewhat true, has the Moon Clan mastered the Yunxiao Sect?"
"I don't know. ”
Mo Lian said calmly: "But Mr. Tan has never said that the Yunxiao Sect exists in name only because of the Moon Clan. ”
"What do you mean......"
The pupils of the Red Fire Dao people kept shrinking.
Because of the Starry Sky Gate, the eyes of the Three Sects and Nine Pavilions have never been limited to the earth, but have come into contact with many monks from other stars.
For example, Mercury and Venus in the solar system.
And the many demon king realm demon beasts in the sea area that dominate the sea city, some of them are native creatures of the earth, and they are driven into the sea by the human race.
There are also some "demons" in the strict sense of the word, which actually come from Mercury.
Their ancestors came to Earth thousands of years ago, even 10,000 years ago, and ruled over nearly seventy percent of the sea.
Some of the krakens live in a corner, and the sea area under their jurisdiction is calm. There are also krakens who are brutal by nature and like to eat humans, and the Terrans fight against them.
The Yunxiao Sect really didn't have to be poisoned by the Moon Clan.
After all, there is an old saying in Huaguo, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!
"I'm tired, go first. ”
The Dao Sect Sect Master took a deep look at the Red Fire Dao Man and did not discuss this matter too much, but took the lead in leaving.
After the rest of the Holy Land leaders said goodbye to each other, they also left the island one after another.
Only Qi Jiuyang didn't move, he looked at the bright moon in the sky from afar, and sighed deeply at the same time.
He knows.
Regardless of whether the Yunxiao Sect of the Shangzong is as Tan Chang said, the Three Sects and Eight Pavilions have already completely broken with this Shangzong.
Because there are eyes in the dark that keep an eye on their every move all the time.
"Who are you? ”
Qi Jiuyang stared directly into the void.
......
Moon.
The dilapidated Chang'an City is being repaired in an orderly manner.
The smell of blood remained in the city, but instead of despair, they were full of hope.
The city is in.
It would be impossible for the Moon Clan to invade the Earth on a large scale!
Different from the hope of Chang'an City, there is a gloomy cloud among the Yue Clan, especially the prince Ji Gui.
The royal territory is in the depths of the moon, and this is the place where the aura is most abundant.
A magnificent city rises from the ground, the city wall alone is ten zhang high and three zhang thick, and there are heavy soldiers guarding the city, all of which are the elite of the Moon Clan.
The city.
It is the place where the Moon King lives, and it is called 'Ji Cheng'.
It is not only the city of the Ji family, but also the name of the Moon King. However, few people in the Moon Clan dare to be disrespectful enough to call the Moon King by his name, and often call this city the royal city.
There are not many people who are qualified to live in the city, only a hundred people, and the vast majority of them are surnamed Ji.
Now.
Ji Gui, whose face was pale, knelt outside the black hall in the center of the city, and was silent for nearly ten hours.
In this attack on Chang'an City, nearly half of the elites of the 100,000 Moon Clan died, which was a huge loss.
If the city is captured, Ji Gui will naturally be the first achievement. But with such a fiasco, he also has to carry the biggest black cauldron.
"Father. ”
Ji Gui stiffened his head and gritted his teeth and spoke:
"Originally, Erchen had already led people to capture Chang'an, but a sword flew from the sky, causing heavy casualties to the elite of my Yue clan. ”
"Plus my sister, she sent news that Xu Lai was on the moon and strictly ordered her sons to retreat. Of course, the main reason for the retainers is that they can't rest assured of you, so they withdraw their troops. ”
"Father, this battle is not a defeat, but a strategic retreat. ”
“......”
The doors of the main hall were closed.
There was no sound from the temple.
All the words that Ji Gui wanted to say behind were stuck in his throat, and cold sweat continued to pour out along his forehead, and he suddenly felt a little cold.
The Moon tribe is all underground, and it stands to reason that the wind should be very small, or there should not be a wind. But at this time, the prince of the Moon Clan only felt the cold wind blowing behind him.
"Squeak-"
The swarthy doors of the hall opened.
Prince Ji Gui's eyes were bright, and he looked a little surprised, but he didn't wait for his father, but a little girl carved in pink, about seven or eight years old.
This is the third child of the Moon King, Ji Yu.
Ji Gui's expression darkened for a moment, and he smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, I haven't seen you for a while, but I'm really getting more and more beautiful." ”
"Second brother, my father is tired. ”
Ji Yu blinked his eyes and whispered: "Mother asked you to go back to the fiefdom to rest first, and if you are not summoned by the king's order, you are not allowed to enter the royal city again." ”
“......”
Ji Gui was like being struck by lightning.
What a break.
It's clearly a disguised captivity!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, and his smile became even more reluctant: "Third sister, is Father the Emperor angry?"
Ji Yu quietly looked back at the darkness in the hall and didn't dare to answer.
just pursed his lips: "Second brother, the road is far away, be careful all the way." ”
The little girl retreated back to the main hall, and the door slammed shut.
Ji Gui's expression was gloomy.
He knows that with today's departure, the position of the crown prince may be greatly variable.
He hates!
He's so ruthless!
It was clear that it could be famous for eternity, but it was ruined by a sword that came from nowhere.
Of course.
And that damn Xu Lai!
Ji Gui clenched his fists, and he had unspeakable anger towards his crazy sister.
Why can't you stop Xu Lai?
Why was he allowed to reach Chang'an City?
In doubt.
A monk of the Yue Clan came quickly from outside the city, with a panicked face: "Report! Tang Yu, the son of the leader of the Great Southwest Tribe, has been killed, and the spiritual field where the mixed yuan grass is planted is missing. ”
Ji Gui was stunned.
First there was anger in my heart, and then I was overjoyed.
Sure enough, at the moment when the joy just rose, a voice that was so cold that there was no emotion came:
"Prince, this matter is left to you. ”
"Yes, Father!"
Ji Gui held back the ecstasy in his heart and said worriedly: "But if the son is gone, your father and your safety ......."
"It's not something you should worry about. ”
"Yes. ”
Ji Gui didn't want to take care of it, but the process still has to go through it, otherwise how can he reflect his filial piety?
Leave the royal city.
Ji Gui couldn't help but laugh at his henchmen in his heart: "Who sent a timely rain." ”
The henchman hesitated again and again, but still said in a complicated manner: "Prince, according to the inference of the leader of the Southwest Great Tribal, the murderer is very likely to be Xu Lai." ”
“......”
