Volume 4 The Wind and the Clouds, the Four Continents and the Land Sinking, Chapter 8, The New Defeat
Tu Yan looked left and right for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Did we win?"
Shan Yan was also shocked, and Mu Mu said: "It seems that yes, you see that those Xuanhuang people are retreating!"
Shi Yan jumped up and roared: "I can finally let out a breath of bird's breath, brothers copy the guys and catch up to shoot the water dogs!"
As soon as he said this, many of the soldiers of the Secret Vanguard Army also woke up suddenly, and some of them grabbed from the surrounding rubble and rushed forward with Shi Yan.
Just as they had just run a few steps with a scream, the thin and pretty woman slowly floated from the air down on their path, and Yulian tapped the ground with her toes, raising a little dust.
The Dark Pioneers who were charging suddenly stopped, and after she stood firmly, Shi Yan said weakly: "Pioneers, oh no... Fairy, can you allow your subordinates to hunt down the thief?"
Lan Ling opened his big clear and pure eyes, and said lightly: "No." β
Shi Yan hurriedly explained: "Fairy, look, Xuanhuang's people are running away, if you don't chase and kill at this time, I'm afraid that the tiger will return to the mountain!"
Lan Ling's brows furrowed, his eyes widened and he looked at Shi Yan, who also realized that he had lost his words, but when he saw the people of the Cloud Palace who were gradually moving away, he was anxious in his heart, and blurted out: "Let them go, how can the vanguard go back and explain to the emperor?" It is better to let his subordinates chase after him immediately, and maybe he can get some credit." β
Lan Ling stepped towards the center of the military formation, and just said softly, "You can try." β
The stone was in place, in a dilemma.
At this moment, Shan Yan came over and clasped his fists with Lanling and said, "Fairy Qi, such a big victory, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, I'm afraid the emperor will blame." β
Lan Ling still returned to the pair of rubble, picked up the dirty puppet with missing arms and legs, and replied, "I only promised him to retrieve the Desolate Ding, and I don't care about anything else." β
Shan Yan was choked by these words, but he quickly regained his composure, hugged his fists again and said, "The fairy attacked just now, and his skills were shocking." Please rest here now, let us do the work of hunting and killing!"
Lanling held the puppet in both hands, put it on his chest, closed his eyes, and only said: "Kill my Xuanhuang in my Lanling Void, is it because I die?"
"Thisβ" The Yama didn't know how to go on.
After a while, he had no choice but to wave his hand and take care of the soldiers who had just rushed out in front of him to retreat. Then he said to Lan Ling, who was lying on the pile of sand, "Fairy, then we will start cleaning up the battlefield now, what is our follow-up task?"
No one answered him.
The mountain died and walked away with some stagnation.
A long-abandoned post station on the edge of the Great Jungle of Nanyanzhou.
A group of people from Genting Heavenly Palace are resting here.
Lan Sheng sat down on a large rock with his head down and sulked.
Qin Ying walked over and handed him a pot of water.
Lan Sheng looked up, shook his head, and then lowered his head and paddled around the ground with a branch boringly.
Qin Ying smiled, sat down beside him, bumped Lan Sheng with his shoulder, and said, "Still angry?"
Lan Sheng didn't speak.
Qin Ying continued to bump him with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you don't speak, are you holding your breath again?"
This sentence stimulated Lan Sheng, and he shouted excitedly: "We're almost, almost going to kill them." How could such a strange person suddenly appear. Such a big cyclone was wiped out by her move. What kind of monster is this!"
Qin Ying looked at the kettle in her hand and said to herself: "She is not a weirdo, she is the Lanling Fairy, side by side with our Yuanjun, oh no, she is a more powerful character than Zhuo Hua." β
Lan Sheng opened his mouth wide, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Lanling... Is the Lanling Fairy back?
Qin Ying shook her head, chuckled, and said, "Her appearance, just a glance from a distance, will be unforgettable for a lifetime." I... How could I be wrong. In this heaven and earth, who else can have such a white horse-like body and earth-destroying momentum?"
Lan Sheng said unconvinced: "But Yuan Shang also praised your body and white horse through the gap, and you are swift and crowning the void!"
Qin Ying smiled, stretched out her finger to the sky, and then pointed to the ground, laughing at herself: "Compared with the fairy, I am different from cloud and mud." β
Lan Sheng said sullenly, "Is she really so powerful?"
"Naturally, it was so powerful, so as soon as I saw that it was her who made a move, I immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army. β
When the two looked up, it turned out to be Lin Bai.
Qin Ying raised her eyes and looked at Lin Bai, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say it.
Lin Bai patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister Qin Ying, you also know what kind of temperament and personality our palace master is. You can't just worry about your love and love, then you will be too narrow-minded. β
Qin Ying nodded, and silently began to cry again.
Lan Sheng stood up and asked Lin Bai, "Palace Master Lin, then what should we do next?"
Lin Bai turned around, stood up with his hands in his hands, and said: "I can only go back to the Cloud Palace first, we are now suffering more than thirty percent of the casualties, our morale is low, and we have actually lost our combat effectiveness." Now that the Lanling Fairy is here, only our Yuanjun can balance her. β
Lan Sheng said angrily: "It's really infuriating me to retreat like this. Why didn't Yuan Shang let the four guards of the front army and the four guards of the Chinese army come?"
Lin Bai laughed and said, "This is not something that the Twelve Guards of the Cloud Palace can handle. Even if the twenty-eight stars gather, they may not be able to trap the Lanling Fairy. β
Lan Sheng asked, "According to that, then we are not doomed?"
At this time, Qin Ying raised her head and said, "No, as long as Zhuo Hua makes a move, we won't lose, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid he won't make a move!" Lin Bai sighed.
Shan Yan came to Lanling reluctantly, and reluctantly arched his hand and said: "Qiqi Pioneer Officer, we suffered more than thirty percent of the casualties in last night's encounter, but fortunately, half of them were slightly injured, and it will be no big problem to cultivate for a few days." β
Lanling was still lying on top of the rubble, but there was an extra broken mat to cover her pretty face. She hummed in a low voice, and the mountain died as if she knew, and turned to leave. Ke Lanling opened his mouth again and said, "You will pay attention to this kind of thing in the future." I'm only responsible for taking you back to the Desolate Ding, and I don't care about anything else. β
Shan Yan also expected her to say this, so he still bowed his hand perfunctorily, and replied, "Order!" After saying that, he left to clean up the troops.
has been lying in Lanling for a long time, but in fact, he is not sleepy at all.
She sniffed and scolded secretly: "You sent these little fish and shrimp to meet me, and you look down on me like that? The more she scolded, the more angry she became, and she slammed her fist into the half of the remnant wall beside her, and the poor remnant wall could no longer support it, and collapsed with a bang.
Lin Bai and his entourage came to the Yuntian Monument dejectedly, and were about to shout out the customs clearance order. At this moment, a ray of light spread out from under the dark Cloud Sky Monument. Lin Bai knew that someone inside was about to come out, so he raised his right fist high and motioned for everyone to stop in the distance.
After the glow, an old man in purple with goosebumps and crane hair stood under the stele with a smile, stroked the long beard of his jaw, and said to the people in front of him: "The monarchs have returned triumphantly, and the old man has been ordered by the Yuan Monarch to welcome the heroes of the Cloud Palace here!"
Lin Bai took a few steps forward, gave a salute to the old man, and asked in a low voice, "Does the python know that our army has been newly defeated?"
Python Jun smiled, nodded and said, "The old man naturally knows." β
A wave of anger arose in Lin Bai's chest, and he was about to attack. Python Jun laughed, got out of the way and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Bai, and said, "Please also invite the master of the Lin Palace to return to the court! Yuan Jun and the other two palace masters are already waiting for you in the Lingjue Palace." β
Lin Bai arched his hand perfunctorily and strode into the Cloud Sky Monument. The people behind all looked puzzled, supported each other and followed Lin Bai back to the Genting Heavenly Palace.
After everyone was gone, Python Jun restrained his smile, and his solemn expression returned to the face covered with the vicissitudes of time.
In the Genting Heavenly Palace, there are lanterns and colorful flags everywhere. From the festive decorations, it seemed that something happy was coming, and from the faces of the busy servants who came and went, there could only be a deep sense of sorrow.
Lin Bai grabbed a servant of the demon clan and asked loudly, "What is this cloud palace decorating with lights for?"
The little servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt down in front of Lin Bai, and replied tremblingly: "Back to the Lin Palace Master, the little one doesn't know why, he received an order from above early this morning to immediately dress up the Cloud Palace as a New Year's Day." β
Lin Bai flicked the sleeves of his robe and strode into the main hall of the Lingjue Palace with hatred. Qin Ying and Lan Sheng glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to do, so they had to follow Lin Bai into the main hall.
The hall has been fully arranged, and if it is really as the little servant said just now, you can see at a glance that many of the decorations are only hung up during the New Year. In addition to Zhuo Hua, who was high up in the hall with a happy face, there were two people standing under the imperial steps, Kui Wood Wolf and Dou Mu Ji, who looked sad.
The more Lin Bai looked at it, the more angry he became, he lifted his robe, knelt on one knee with a bang, clasped his hands into fists, and said to Zhuo Hua in the hall in a loud voice: "Lin Bai, the general of the defeated army, come to confess." β
Zhuo Hua hurriedly got up, walked down from the throne quickly, helped Lin Bai up, and asked softly: "Where is Lao Jiao, you are defeated!"
Lin Bai was a little puzzled and replied: "The minister was ordered by Yuanjun to exterminate the Spirit Helmet Army this time, but unfortunately he was one step late. The Secret Thief has already made the leap to completion. Not only do they have their original divine sense, but they also have extremely powerful physical bodies. But none of this stopped us from besieging them. However, the sudden attack of the Lanling Fairy scattered Lan Sheng's cyclone, causing us to fall short and lose all our previous achievements. Yuan Shang..."
Zhuo Hua interrupted Lin Bai's speech, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this today, you have killed three percent of the enemy, and your hard work is high, and today the Cloud Palace wants to celebrate your achievements!"
