Shudi, Jinguan City. Under the Jinjiang River, small caves.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a large number of people who were pressed by the black pressure, and there were nearly a thousand rude counts. This is all the combat power that the Lich Clan has accumulated for more than 400 years since the Great War in the Wanli period.

These more than 1,000 warriors were divided into four parts according to the difference between the Great Witch, the Third Rank Witch, the Second Rank Witch and the First Rank Witch, and where the formation was.

Among them, there are a total of twelve warriors at the level of the Great Witch, which is beyond the number of Tianzi Iron Guards in the inn who are also at the level of the Great Witch, if the two freaks of Wu Heng and Wu Zong are not dead, there will be two more high-level combat power of the Lich Clan.

There were just over a hundred three-rank shamans, and they were on the left side of the twelve great sorcerers, standing in line from the latter at a short distance. There are only more than 70 earth character iron guards at the same level as the inn and the three-rank wizards, so in this comparison, the inn loses again.

As for the second-grade sorcerers, the Lich Clan is about the same as the inn, and there are only two hundred and fifty people. (This is actually also due to the first battle in Jinguan City yesterday, the second-grade wizards who usually act as eyeliner spies in the Lich Clan, yesterday due to the misjudgment of the situation in Jinguan City, led to a large group of second-grade witches, and the inn's Dizi Iron Guard and Xuanzi Iron Guard, the two sides fought fiercely, and the inn Iron Guard side relied on several higher-level Dizi Iron Guards, and caused a great blow to the second-grade sorcerers of the Lich Clan.) ）

Finally, there is the lowest-level, and at the same time the most numerous, first-class wizards. To be honest, the combat power of a first-rank wizard is really useless, and even a wizard of this level is extremely difficult to do such a job. Generally speaking, whether it is an inn or a lich clan, they all regard the first-rank wizard (the yellow iron guard of the inn is the first-rank witch) as the reserve of the second-rank wizard, and rarely really hand over some tasks to the wizard of this level (the inn only allows some of the yellow-character iron guards to be stationed in various branches respectively, acting as hotel staff, and most of the time they only deal with ordinary people, and occasionally receive cultivators in the night world). This almost completely eliminates the need for force, so in essence it is a job that even ordinary people can do. ）

The number of first-class sorcerers of the Lich Clan is also comparable to that of the inn, with more than five hundred.

It can be seen from here that the Lich Clan has been fighting for more than 400 years, and its low-level combat power has long been on par with the inn, and it has surpassed the inn in terms of medium and high-level combat power, and it also has a certain advantage in the top-level combat power, so Wu Ji is determined to win the war launched this time.

However, at this time, in addition to his ambition, Wu Ji still has a trace of doubt. In the cave on the mountain, where Wu Yan and Nanshan and the four Dharma protectors were discussing, the leader of the Lich Clan was sitting at the top of the house, frowning slightly, looking at his old friend who had been with him for thousands of years: "Yi, why hasn't Wu Yan come back yet? Seeing that she is about to send troops to fight, how can she be absent?"

"Well, she's probably not done yet. The cold sweat behind Wu Yi stayed, when he was in the imperial capital, Xu Guan disappeared inexplicably, and Wu Yan's three subordinates did not see a shadow, he had already vaguely guessed the inside story, out of love for Wu Yan, he deliberately said that Wu Yan should stay and study the eye of the enchantment under the coal mountain, the real purpose is to create an opportunity for Wu Yan and give her a little time to settle her private affairs. Who would have thought that this Wu Yan would never come back. This time it's really shooting myself in the foot. The old man secretly regretted that he shouldn't have done it in the first place, and his mind was racing to come up with some reason to deal with this matter.

"It's just a formation, it's all broken, and it's unobstructed. No matter how subtle it is, why don't you have a clue for so many days of research. Wu Ji's face was not good, and something beyond his control happened, which really made him very unhappy.

"That's what I said. Wu Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yan'er did a bad job this time. This little thing should not be done like this. Even if you rub it down, come back and study it. ”

"It's really not supposed to be like this. Wu Ji's tone was leisurely, as if it was meaningful: "The night watchman Xu Guan disappeared at the end of the battle of the imperial capital. Wu Yan hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't even gone anywhere. It's weird. ”

When Wu Yi heard this, his heart shook suddenly, his face changed instantly, he stood up from the stone bench and said to Wu Yi: "I, I really just asked her to study the formation in the back." The original chance was that she would come back as soon as she finished researching. As for why up to now, her whereabouts have lost all news like Xu Guan at the beginning, I really don't know. ”

"What are you excited about. Wu Yi glanced at Wu Yi lightly and said, "I didn't say that you let them elope." ”

"Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. Wu Yi shook his head repeatedly.

"I'm sure you wouldn't do that. Wu Yi glanced at Wu Yi deeply, "It's just that when I was assembling people half a day ago, I noticed that one of Wu Yan's descendants was not there, and her tanuki maid and four old slaves carrying sedan chairs were also no longer in the clan. I wanted to send someone to find her, but I didn't know where to look. ”

"Yan'er's five servants have always been inseparable from her, and the servants take her wherever she goes, and this is not the case when she goes out? Wu Yi swallowed dryly and continued, "As for how to find her, there is no doubt about it. She studied the formation under the coal mountain in the imperial capital, and it was absolutely impossible for her to be somewhere else. Seeing that Wu Ji was expressionless after hearing this, obviously not believing himself, he turned around and walked out: "I'll send someone to the imperial capital to have a look, and I'll say that the leader has urged her, and the leader is very dissatisfied with the efficiency of her work, and wants her to come back quickly." ”

"That's it. Wu Yan stretched out his hand behind him and stopped: "Forget it, I believe Wu Yan should be back soon, she won't know that the big war is about to start, and it is the time when she is needed." ”

As soon as the words fell, a girl's voice as clear as a wind chime came in from outside the cave, and what came in with the voice was Wu Yan's lotus posture in the air: "The leader is right, Wu Yan doesn't dare not remember the major events of the war. Expecting that the big war was about to start, he hurried over from the imperial capital. If it's a little late, ask the leader to reprimand. ”

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the two old slaves stopped and stood with the warriors of the clan. Wu Yan went up the mountain and entered the cave alone, and landed lightly in the center of the cave, she knelt on one knee with a fist in front of Wu Yan, who was sitting in the top position, with a respectful posture.

Oops, you're here. Wu Yi secretly wiped his cold sweat, and looked at Wu Yan who was kneeling below to receive the guilt, and before Wu Yi could speak, he hurriedly said: "It's a little late, but it's finally in time." Let's set off with the leader and the warriors of the clan to Diqiu. ”

"Yes. Wu Yan didn't look up, but answered.

Wu Yi turned his head to look at Wu Yi again, and asked in a tentative tone, "Look, this is also a big delay. Moreover, it is precisely at the time of employing people that it is inappropriate for the army to punish a protector of the law. Besides, Wu Yan is also here to study the enchantment formation of the Coal Mountain Imperial Capital, which is for the sake of our clan. ”

"Alright. Wu Yi waved his hand, so that Wu Yi didn't have to intercede with Wu Yan anymore. He looked at Wu Yan below and asked, "How is the Enchantment Array under the Coal Mountain studied?"

"That array of eyes was created by gathering the power of more than a dozen Taoist masters. Anyone who has studied some of the general theory of formation can understand a thing or two. It was only after seeing the formation with my own eyes that I really understood the subtlety of this formation. Wu Yan took out the formation drawings that Tanuki and the two old slaves had reproduced under the coal mountain from his sleeve: "If you want to make the formation both offensive and defensive, it is easy to put forward the idea of a formation set of formations, but it is thousands of times more difficult to really implement it." What's more, the emperor is not just one attack and one defense and two sets of formations, but multiple sets are combined, which is even more difficult. I already have a thorough understanding of the principle of the formation, but when it comes to the specific details, I am a little powerless, this combination is too subtle, even the contemporary Taoist masters may not be able to understand this formation in detail. Shu Wuyan couldn't completely understand the formation in just a few days. ”

"It's just a formation, and if you can't understand it, you can't understand it. Out of the way. Wu Yan was full of ambition, her mind was all about the next war, and she was not interested in this formation at all, since Wu Yan was able to come back in time, it means that she is still loyal to the Lich Clan, perhaps, she really thought too much about it just now. Xu Guan was a night watchman, and he couldn't kill him after suffering so many dangers four hundred years ago, not to mention a mere battle in the imperial capital; Wu Yan was only a few days late in studying the formation, and the two happened to be together.

"Yes. Wu Yan took the reproduced formation drawings in both hands, put them on a small stone table on the stage, and returned to his stone bench to sit down.

At this time, there were already five people here, the leader Wu Ji, Wu Li Wu Yi, the two ancient witches, Wu Yan, the fourth protector who was belated, and Nanshan Stubborn Stone, who had been sitting silently on the other side.

The old guy Nanshan Stubborn Stone's eagerness for war is not lower than that of Wu Ji, and it can even be said that he has lived for 10,000 years, and what he has to wait for is such a day, such a day when he can get the opportunity to ascend to the upper realm, break through the ceiling of his nether power, and become a demon god.

"Ahem. Nanshan stubborn stone coughed lightly, and the big knife behind his back seemed to be humming lightly with excitement: "It's time to go." ”

"Brother Nanshan, don't worry, the manpower is not yet ready. Wu Jian shook his head slightly: "In order to win this battle, we have to wait a little longer." ”

"Okay. Nanshan Stubborn Stone had no choice but to nod and wait patiently.

"The young man from the Nightfish hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how he's recovered from his injuries. Wu Ji said and got up and walked out: "You wait here first, I'll go to the Mist Forest to see how he is doing at the moment." Besides, we still have a large group of friends in the Misty Forest, and this time, we have to ask them to help. ”

After saying this, Wu Ji had already walked out of the cave, and he didn't see any movement, as soon as he wore a gray robe, he automatically puffed up, his feet left the ground, and the whole person rose steadily into the air, flying in the direction of the north.

After he left, the remaining four people looked at each other a few times, did not speak, and each closed his eyes to adjust his state.
