Chapter 433: A Turning Point in the Battle

From October 18th to 20th, ask for pink tickets every day for 3 consecutive days!
-------------------
From this point of view, this old man's motives are very impure, and he probably had the idea of usurping himself a long time ago. The most important thing is that the rumors that Kumaan gave him have no substantial evidence, and this female master is also arrogant, forgetting that rumors are nothing more than a pale wordplay if they can't find human and physical evidence to support them, and they are not the same as the justified accusations of mass destruction released by Elder Crane.
At this step in the field, Jiuma didn't dare to send people to Elder Thorn Crane and Li Jianming anymore. Just kidding, how many people's eyes are staring, not to mention that she sent someone to do the blackout, and now these two guys have suffered personal injuries by accident, and everyone will settle this account on her head.
In fact, if Ning Xiaoxian was allowed to change places with her, the first thing he would do was to kill Elder Crane first, regardless of anyone's criticism, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Such a thing as people's hearts can be slowly made up for afterwards.
Besides, it seems that God is not willing to help Kuma. When the two high-level leaders of the hidden stream were engaged in a war of words, the Northwest Coalition launched another attack, and this time their actions really provoked the hidden stream.
The weapon of the Northwest Coalition this time is fire. The Ba Snake Forest is actually not afraid of fire. Not to mention the means of maintaining hidden currents, even ordinary forests also have their own fire-fighting mechanisms, otherwise if a wildfire burns in autumn and winter, will hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest be burned? This has never happened in history. The Ba Snake Forest is the nest of the hidden stream. Something similar to the enemy's use of fire attack tactics has been deduced countless times, and the defense mechanism has been fully done. Although the territory of the Ba Snake Forest is vast. But almost every moment, countless forest guards patrol the edge of the forest, using the trees as their eyes and ears, turning the forest into a forbidden area for humans.
Still, Zhuo Erxiu came up with a way to deal with the Ba Snake Forest, uh, partial. When he heard the news, Ning Xiaoxian was having lunch.
"What, there really are banana fans in this world?!" she was so shocked that the chicken legs fell on the coffee table. Sister went west. But isn't this a Journey to the West?!Changtian knocked on the table dissatisfiedly: "Big girl, can you be reserved?"
"What is a banana fan?" Qizai and Qingluan, who had just left the battlefield, came together, and their white feathers were scorched gray and black. Several feathers were also burned. Qingluan's complexion was also ugly.
After Qingluan's explanation, Ning Xiaoxian realized that the magic weapon that Zhuo Erxiu took out was not the powerful banana fan in Journey to the West, but called the divine fan. Generally speaking. The number of natal true fires of an immortal cultivator is extremely limited. In addition to the fact that the Dan Master can control more true fire, the natal true fire that the immortal cultivator can release against the enemy generally does not cause much trouble to people or demons in the same realm, which also makes the use of the natal true fire mostly alchemy, refining, and torture rather than against the enemy, and it is even more delusional to use it to set fire to the forest. Only a monster like Qingluan, who is born with the power of resisting fire, can burn part of the forest.
And the Ba Snake Forest is not afraid of ordinary fires at all.
The Divine Fan is just a low-grade magic weapon, and its style is only one thing: drinking the fire to borrow the wind. The "fire" in this also includes the real fire. To put it bluntly, let the immortal cultivators set fire to the forest. Then take out this fan, and you can roll out a huge wind. Help the fire grow. However, Zhuo Erxiu didn't know where to get this fan, although the grade was not high, but for the upper forest, the effect was extraordinary.
Of course, the Ba Snake Forest is too vast, and there are other supernatural organs arranged in it, and it is impossible for the divine fan to burn all the forests that span several large states even if they are broken. Zhuo Erxiu's action was actually a slap in the face of the hidden stream. Originally, he couldn't shrink in the forest, and he could laugh at himself and say that he didn't have the same knowledge as the Northwest Alliance, but now everyone has deceived him to set fire to the mountain, and if he doesn't move, he will be laughed off by the world.
How can the hidden current, which has always been arrogant, tolerate such a thing?
So Kuma sent troops again, and fought a few battles with the Northwest Coalition Army. However, the latter is also very cunning, as soon as he saw the hidden flow out of the mountain, he immediately retracted thousands of miles away from the Hongyun Plateau, and when he waited for the hidden flow back to the mountain, he immediately stepped forward to harass him, which won the essence of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is tired and disturbs". After repeating this several times, Kuma also had to send troops to chase after him, otherwise he would be exhausted if he tossed a few more times. As you can imagine, the outcome of the battle was not very good for the hidden current.
Fortunately, Langya, who has been grinding and inaction, also responded to her once this time. So the battle of the hidden stream is not too ugly. By this time, the discerning people had already seen that Kuma's team really had no military talent, so the complaints that had been suspended due to the armistice began to spread again and intensified.
Under pressure, Kuma also had to find Li Jianming and ask him to return to the sect to clarify the facts and order Guangcheng Palace to withdraw from the army. However, in the process of escorting or escorting Li Jianming, her personal guards lost people! In full view of everyone, Li Jianming walked out from under the protection of Elder He, and then disappeared inexplicably when he followed Haruma's personal guards to the palace in the forest. And a big living person disappears in the hinterland of the hidden stream in the blink of an eye, which definitely needs a reason that can convince the public.
In the hands of Kuma, there is no such reason. So everyone is making up their own brains, Li Jianming may have been secretly killed?
Of course, this matter was done by Elder He who came to beg Ning Xiaoxian to do it, and she may be the only one in the world who can use the Divine Demon Prison to make Li Jianming evaporate in the hidden current. Besides, she didn't want to return Li Jianming to Guangcheng Palace - he was a sheep into a tiger's mouth and a fish into a shark's den, and it was impossible for him to come back alive.
When the news spread, Kuma's prestige fell to the bottom, and Elder Crane knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for so long had finally arrived.
As an elder, he asked Langya to lead the troops. According to the rules of the hidden stream, the elder does not have the right to lead the troops, but Langya actually agreed this time and allocated him 7,000 people, and these 7,000 people are real elite soldiers, without any water.
People with a keen sense of smell noticed that there was some kind of connection between Elder He and Langya at this time. The first to understand this relationship was naturally Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian. She asked Elder Crane at that time, "How did you say that Langya helped you deal with Elder Crane?" If it is not beneficial to herself, even if Langya has no good impression of Guma, it is impossible to reach out to Elder Crane.
"After I climb the throne of the lord, I will give him the Rose Hall and the Kanji Hall, which are now in charge of the house. Elder Crane said with a smile, looking like an old treacherous man.
After listening to it, she had to admire this old guy's abacus to beat the thief. If these two halls were ceded to Langya, and the latter's power would increase greatly, how could he not agree? As for Elder He, he was not distressed when he was generous to others, and even less when he was in power-as long as Lord Changtian got out of trouble, this entire hidden current would have to be withdrawn into the palm of his hand, and could he still be missing these two halls?
According to the advice given by Ning Xiaoxian, Elder He actually divided into three routes with seven thousand men and horses, and went separately to attack the garrisons of the three small immortal sects in the Northwest Alliance. The other party was unaware that the hidden stream suddenly changed his style, so Elder He's team burst in like a bamboo, catching the others off guard.
This operation will make the Northwest Coalition Army fry the pot. No one wants the rear base camp to catch fire when there is a war in front. It is undeniable that the marching speed of the hidden stream is several times faster than that of the Northwest Coalition Army, and now switching back to the lightning guerrilla tactics at the beginning, the Northwest Coalition Army will have another headache. As for their provocative behavior in the Ba Snake Forest, Yin Liu did not send demon soldiers, but adopted a different way of fighting: whenever someone came to burn down the mountain forest, Lin Wei would temporarily ignite the trees and turn into a raging fireball to pounce on the initiator. Thanks to the strong growth force, it only takes a year to repair the burned forest, so there is no concern about the hidden current.
The battle of the Hidden Stream has now taken a turn again. When he received the news from the front, Kumo threw the dragon-patterned incense burner on the side of the seat and smashed it on the head of the hall master who was kneeling in front of him, and his plump chest rose and fell: "Waste! I have been fighting for two months, and I haven't even won four victories." Old man Crane led the troops, why did he win a great victory on the front line? What is the use of me raising you!"
This unlucky guy didn't dare to use his demonic power to resist, and the incense burner smashed into it, with a crisp sound. He waited silently until Gu Mo finished his anger and sat down again, and then said: "Elder He's subordinates have recruited a few new demon generals, who have escaped from the command of the Grand Duke of Fengtianfu, and it turns out that they have all been on the northern front line and fought against the sects in the north......"
Kuma sneered, "You can pass the blame away. Why don't I have such talents?"
The man didn't dare to say more, and after a while he said, "The matter you want us to investigate has already been revealed." Elder Crane has won people's hearts over the years, and there are his people in the Rose Hall, the Thorn Hall, and the Qingming Hall. In the elders' table, there were as many as five elders who were close to him. ”
Kuma's face changed color and said, "So many people?" The anger on his face retracted, and he thought for a while, "Recognize all the heads." Once this battle is over, it is necessary to strike first. ”
===
The battle stalemate lasted for more than half a month. Yinliu insisted on carrying out such a small guerrilla tactic to the end, and when the large forces of the Northwest Coalition Army were outside, the sect was relatively empty, and they were always caught by Yinliu; if they recalled the monk corps stationed outside, the number of people stationed in the Hongyun Plateau of the Northwest Coalition Army suddenly decreased sharply, and Yinliu sent a large force to meet the attack.
Several times like this, both sides felt very tired. (To be continued......)
