Chapter 2284 - Lips and Teeth Cold
Suddenly hearing the voice of the guard, Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were stunned for a moment.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both showed puzzled expressions.
Tianzhu Mountain has been calm recently, what will happen to make the guards so panicked?
Ji Tianxing said in a majestic tone: "Come in and talk!"
Then, a guard in armor stepped briskly into the room and saluted on one knee.
He handed over his hand and reported: "Qi Yu Gongzi, there is news from the seventy-two cities in the north that it was attacked by a large number of demons last night, and there were heavy casualties.
In just one night, twelve cities were breached, and nearly a million warriors and civilians were slaughtered. ”
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned, "A large number of demons attacked the seventy-two cities, and captured twelve cities overnight?"
Yun Yao also felt incredulous, and asked with a puzzled voice, "This shouldn't be! The demon clan only returned from a big defeat a year ago, and then it was hit hard in a row, and its vitality was already greatly damaged.
Isn't the demon clan recuperating now? How could they suddenly send troops to capture the seventy-two cities?"
The messenger guard didn't know much news, so he could only shake his head and say, "Son, madam, my subordinates just got the news from the scouts of this sect, so they rushed to report it.
As for the specific information and situation, the subordinates are also not clear. ”
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "You can step aside." ”
The guard saluted and took his leave, turned and pushed away.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a while, and said in a low tone: "There must be something strange in this, let's go to Huanglong and ask for clarification." ”
With that, he took Yun Yao out of the room and rushed to the study of the Huanglong Daoren.
As soon as they were halfway there, they were in a corridor, and the two met the Huanglong Daoist who was in a hurry.
When the Huanglong Daoist saw Ji Tianxing, he hurriedly quickened his pace to meet him, bowed his hand, and said, "Master, something happened in the seventy-second city, and the disciple just got the news and was about to report to you." ”
Ji Tianxing stopped, nodded and said, "Well, the teacher is also about to look for you, let's talk about it in another place." ”
The Huanglong Daoist made a 'please' gesture and said, "Please move the master to the main hall, the disciple has already gathered several elders and is ready to discuss countermeasures." ”
Ji Tianxing glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are thoughtful and understand the stakes. ”
Huanglong Daoist bowed and didn't say anything.
After a hundred breaths, the three of them entered the council hall together.
The six purple-robed elders had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and they were talking to each other.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing and Huanglong Daoren were coming, everyone saluted and said hello.
Ji Tianxing took Yun Yao and walked to the first place and sat down, and the Huanglong Dao people sat down first on the left.
The hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Huanglong Dao people.
Huanglong Daoren said with a solemn face: "Just now, this seat received news from the scouts, saying that a large number of demons appeared last night and attacked the seventy-two cities in the north.
In just one night, twelve cities were captured and nearly a million people were slaughtered.
It is conceivable that the number of demons must be large, and they are divided into several batches.
I believe everyone knows that the Seventy-Two Cities are located between Tianzhu Mountain and the North Styx Mountain, which is a buffer zone.
Our Tianzhu Mountain and the seventy-two cities are in a relationship of lips and teeth.
Now that the demons have begun to invade the Seventy-Two Cities, once they are allowed to succeed, the next target should be Tianzhu Mountain!"
Hearing this, the six elders all nodded their heads in agreement.
"That's right! We all understand the truth of cold lips and teeth!"
"We can't sit idly by, and we can't let the demons rage!"
"Yes, even if we don't start a war against the demons, we must try to fight the demons, and we must not let them succeed in occupying the seventy-two cities. ”
"The old man thinks it's very strange, isn't the demon clan suffering from a serious injury and recuperating?"
United, the people reached a consensus almost without discussion to help the seventy-two cities.
Still, one elder raised questions.
Ji Tianxing also asked Huanglong Daoren, "Huanglong, do you know how many demon armies there are, and who is the leader of the army?"
Huang Long replied without hesitation, "According to the news sent back by the scouts, it is estimated that the number of demons is more than 300,000.
As for the leader, they didn't see the two notorious Demon Saints, but instead found a huge black flying boat.
In addition, there are several strange-looking powerhouses, all of whom emerged from the flying boat. ”
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.
"As I expected, it's them!"
Yun Yao also nodded and said, "I see! It was an attack launched by An Yu and the alien race, no wonder it was unexpected!"
Huanglong Dao and several elders all looked puzzled, and asked with puzzled faces, "Master, what's going on?"
Ji Tianxing explained: "There was a group of foreign invaders, numbering about eighty, piloting a black battleship and breaking into the North Styx Mountain.
In just two months, they occupied the five southern regions of the Northern Stygian Mountain, ruling over hundreds of tribes.
The Ancestor Demon God didn't get out, and the two Great Demon Saints couldn't do anything about them, so they could only compromise and retreat.
The two sides have even reached a cooperation to join forces to deal with us!
But their cooperation failed, and the Ancestor Demon God also broke through the God Realm, and sooner or later they would drive out those alien races and recover the Southern Five Domains.
Therefore, those alien races can only act in advance, vainly trying to capture the seventy-two cities and use them as their lair in the future. ”
After listening to Ji Tianxing's explanation, the Huanglong Daoist and the elders suddenly realized.
"I see! The main messengers behind the scenes are those aliens!"
"Before, the old man was thinking that the demon race's vitality was greatly damaged, and he shouldn't have any more sword soldiers, but he didn't expect that it was those alien races who were making waves!"
In this way, it makes sense, in order to plan for the future, those alien races can only pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, and invade the seventy-two cities. ”
After everyone discussed for a while, Ji Tianxing said in a solemn tone: "The situation is clear to everyone, and now this seat announces a decision."
Seventy-two cities have been invaded by foreign races, and we in Tianzhu Mountain cannot sit idly by, and must come to the rescue.
Everyone must understand that this is not only to help the seventy-two cities, but also to take precautions to protect Tianzhu Mountain.
However, for the sake of safety, everyone should stay at Tianzhu Mountain in case of accidents.
This will personally go to the Seventy-Two Cities and try to deal with the alien and demon armies. ”
Huanglong Dao and several elders suddenly showed a look of concern and persuaded him one after another.
"Master, you can't go alone, it's too dangerous!"
"Master, it's enough to have a great immortal stay in Tianzhu Mountain, we are willing to go with you!"
"The alien race is ferocious and powerful, it is not appropriate for the ancestor to act alone, so he still has to bring a few more helpers!"
At this time, Yun Yao stood up and said in a firm tone: "You don't need to persuade anymore, I will go with Tianxing to fight against the alien race together."
Our husband and wife have joined forces, and they are not afraid of anyone except the three martial gods. ”
