With a third-level Heavenly Immortal army of 20,000 people, this card on the surface is not small.

Looking at the entire immortal world, people who can have such an army are not small people.

Putting aside the quality of the army for the time being, first of all, you need to have enough financial resources to maintain the daily consumption of such an army.

20,000 people, the level of a third-level heavenly immortal, this year's expenses are not a small amount.

Moreover, as the standing army of Chuzhou, Xuanbingtai mastered that Ma Tianjiao had maintained this army for hundreds of years.

Seven hundred and eighty years, to be exact, almost a full eight hundred years.

"With such a large army, how can he feed him on a Chuzhou city?" Chu Ke looked at Wu Wen and said.

He is not a man who knows nothing about military affairs.

On the contrary, Chu Ke is still very familiar with things in the army.

You must know that he has learned the art of war in the Ancient Continent, led soldiers to fight, and is also a person who has seen blood on the battlefield.

"With a year's income from Chuzhou City, it is already very difficult to maintain such an army. Coupled with other miscellaneous matters, there are definitely all kinds of deficits coming out one after another. Chu Ke said.

"If this Ma Tianjiao has another city under his name to rule, then the combined financial resources of the two cities can make such an army a standing standing. ”

"What His Majesty said was extremely true, when we saw this report at that time, all of us in the Xuanbing Platform were also very surprised. Wu Wen nodded.

Indeed, it is really a very unbelievable thing that this Ma Tianjiao can have such an army.

"Normally, a Chuzhou City must not allow Ma Tianjiao to have this standing army, but after our work in the past few months. We found out that this Ma Tianjiao is doing a very profitable business, and it is because of this business that he can feed 20,000 people. ”

Business?

Chu Ke couldn't help but become interested in the business that Wu Wen said.

What kind of business profit can be so high that it can feed a standing army of 20,000 people with an average level of third-level heavenly immortals?

"What business?" asked Chu Ke.

"Smuggling. ”

Smuggle?

"What kind of smuggling can be so profitable?" Chu Ke didn't understand, there was only such a thing that could be smuggled in this world.

In the fairy world, in many cases, I'm afraid that the "weapon" will be subtracted, right?

For example, smuggling to the Demon Realm, the profit of immortal weapons is really not high.

"I'm afraid that you don't believe it, Ma Tianjiao's smuggling is weapons. Wu Wen also smiled helplessly, "Moreover, his smuggling direction is the Demon Realm." ”

The most unlikely two scenarios have happened.

Chu Ke felt that his jaw was about to fall in shock.

"How is it possible? What is the use of the Demon Realm asking for the weapons of the Immortal Realm? Can they use the Immortal Weapon? The immortal weapon is sold to the Demon Realm, and those people in the Demon Realm have to refine it again before they can use it, and the power has to be discounted. Who is so stupid and has a lot of money, and does all this loss-making business?"

Chu Ke asked questions like a cannonball, so that Wu Wen had to appease him first.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Wu Wen said, "The immortal weapon sold by Ma Tianjiao, his subordinates think that there should be a cat in it." ”

"Oh?" you continue. Chu Ke said.

"Although we haven't gathered much detailed information, all the clues we have have hinted at a faint fact. That is..."

Wu Wen paused.

"The weapons he sells are definitely not weapons in the ordinary sense. ”

Chu Ke looked at Wu Wen with strange eyes, puzzled in his heart.

Wu Wen, who was originally an honest person, why did he suddenly make such a cold joke, this is not in line with his personality?

Did you take the wrong medicine today?

Without waiting for Chu Ke to ask, Wu Wen explained in advance.

He took out another jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Ke.

Chu Ke took it and took a look at it, and found that it was a soul jade slip, so he infiltrated the immortal sense into it, and the contents inside.

In the jade slip, Chu Ke saw a simple long sword with a mottled sword body.

The body of this sword is already rusty, which is very rare in immortal weapons.

Because even the spiritual weapons used by immortal cultivators are incorruptible and immortal for tens of thousands of years, which is a very normal thing.

Higher-quality immortal weapons, as long as they are not destroyed, how to say that they have maintained their integrity for hundreds of thousands of years, it is also a common thing.

If a fairy artifact is rusty, then there is only one case.

Its "spirituality" has been destroyed, as has the materials used to make the weapon itself.

From immortal weapons to mortal iron, rust will appear.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if this broken immortal artifact turns into a pile of scrap metal, its shelf life is still very long.

At least it won't appear in a few days, and then it will be blown away by the wind in a dozen or twenty years.

"Is this kind of antique that Ma Tianjiao is selling?" Chu Ke withdrew his spiritual sense and looked at Wu Wen in puzzlement.

In his opinion, this kind of antique-level immortal weapon can't even be sold for the price of a spiritual weapon.

"Yes, as His Majesty said, this is one of Ma Tianjiao's latest shipments, one of the antique immortal weapons. Wu Wen said.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, although this sword is in tatters, Ma Tianjiao sells it not for its own power, but for its fame?"

"Fame?"

"Yes, the owner of this sword is a great master who is well-known in the south of the Immortal Realm, and has an emperor-level cultivation. Wu Wen told the history of this tattered sword.

"The life of this master, although it cannot be put into the long history of the entire immortal world, can also be called a big ups and downs. Coupled with the writing and compilation of later generations of literati and writers, he was extremely famous and heroic in the south of the fairy world. ”

"So, because of the reputation of the owner of this sword, even if it becomes a pile of scrap metal, it can still be sold for a sky-high price?" Chu Ke recalled

The appearance of a sword.

Indeed, it is not ostentatious or delicate, but it has a bit of the taste of a hero's sword.

"But how much can this sword be sold for? Can 20,000 people be sold for half a year?" he still couldn't understand.

"This sword found a buyer from the Demon Realm, and he happened to like this hero very much, although he was from the Demon Realm, he also spent 20 million high-grade spirit stones to buy it. ”

Not enough, that's not enough to see.

Twenty million high-grade spirit stones is indeed a lot for one person.

But for an army of 20,000 men, one person gets only a thousand.

The black-clothed guards of the Xu family still have one hundred and fifty-one years of Yulu, and there are so many officers in the army, and Yulu is even higher.

20 million, at most a year.

In this way, that Ma Tianjiao has to sell such an antique every year.

Whether there is a buyer or not, at least he can't get that many antiques.

Chu Ke waved his hand, and Wu Wen didn't continue.

The current information held by Xuanbing Terrace can be summed up in one sentence.

Of little consequence.

Yes, it's dispensable.

Not much of the information available is valid.

And the useful aspects are basically speculative.

However, Wu Wen has a good sentence, what Ma Tianjiao smuggled will definitely not be a simple antique.

"Then go ahead and look it up. Chu Ke said with a little regret.

If it weren't for the fact that there was too little information he had, he would still want to go to Chuzhou City to have a good time.

Go meet this Ma Tianjiao for a while and see what kind of character he is.

What is certain is that all the current intelligence is showing one thing, that is, this Ma Tianjiao is definitely a more difficult character to deal with than Xu Zhuo.

...

Not to mention the matter of Chuzhou City, when Chu Ke and Xuan Bingtai were still conducting intelligence work on Ma Tianjiao.

In the north of the fairy world, the front line against the demon world.

But all the people who could be counted in the Immortal Palace received an order from the Outer Han Immortal Emperor.

From now on, raise the vigilance of the Demon Realm and prepare to enter a state of war at any time.

It's a short word, but the meaning is not simple.

When these bigwigs received this order, they all understood what the meaning behind this sentence was.

Originally, it was only the Demon Realm that might launch a war between the two realms, but now it is certain that the Demon Realm will definitely launch this war.

Ready to enter a state of war at any time, then the implication is that the war between the two realms is not far away.

"Tell the marshal, the number of Chaos creatures has plummeted in recent days. Our people's harvest in the recent period is not as good as one-third of the previous one. ”

In the palace of a suspended island in the Fallen River, a sixth-level Immortal Emperor bowed down to a mighty man sitting on the top of the main hall.

Anywhere in the Immortal Realm, the sixth-level Immortal Emperor is a great master and a great powerhouse in the traditional sense.

No matter which side of the force it is, it will treat those who have reached this level of cultivation with a friendly attitude.

At this time, such a sixth-level Immortal Emperor stood respectfully and meticulously in the palace.

Obviously, the mighty man sitting on top of this palace is not a simple figure.

In fact, the mighty and strong man sitting on the first seat of the palace at this time is a legendary-level existence in the immortal world.

Eighth-level Immortal Emperor, Yang Yutang.

He is also the commander-in-chief of all the centaurs who sits in the north of the fairy world and borders the Fallen River.

"Generalissimo, from the available indications, we can infer that the time for the Falling River Riot is coming to an end. "Sixth-level Immortal Emperor Li Kangjie

Said.

"General Li, how many Chaos Hearts have we gained in total from the Immortal Palace?" Yang Yutang asked.

"Generalissimo Qiyu, there are a total of three hundred and eight Golden Immortal-level Chaos Hearts, and eighty-six Immortal King-level Hearts. As for the Immortal Emperor level, there are twenty lower grades, nine middle grades, and three upper grades. ”

The Immortal Emperor-level Chaotic Heart, according to the division of the Immortal Palace, the first, second, and third levels are the lower grades, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades are the middle grades.

The seventh level is the top grade, as for why the eighth and ninth levels do not appear in the top grade...

That's because so far, no chaotic creature higher than the seventh-level Immortal Emperor quality has ever been found.

"That's right, last time we only had a top-grade Chaos Heart, this time our harvest is already very good. Yang Yutang nodded with satisfaction.

"After these things are sent back to Asgard, we can create another group of strong people within a thousand years. ”

Heart of Chaos is really a good thing, the effect is significantly improved, and there are no side effects.

It can indeed be used for cultivation in a short period of time, so that a person's cultivation can be greatly improved.

However, Yang Yutang himself didn't have much thought about such things as the Heart of Chaos.

Cultivating to his level, without the chaotic heart of an eighth-level Immortal Emperor, it would not be of much help to him.

Even if it is the Chaos Heart of the Seventh-level Immortal Emperor, even if you take a dozen pills, the effect of increasing is only that.

It can be seen that the heart of chaos also has its own limitations.

For people in higher realms and even in the same realm, the Heart of Chaos is not of much help.

"Three more days of hunting, and then it's over. With a wave of his hand, Yang Yutang decided on the next plan.

"Humph!"

But then, Yang Yutang snorted very unhappily.

"Those big families in the fairy realm, I don't believe they don't know the state between the Demon Domain and the Immortal Palace. In this case, they didn't hand over a share of their harvest to Asgard to fight the enemy together, they were really a bunch of insatiable guys. ”

Every time there is a Falling River Riot, there will always be a few particularly powerful families who will unite and organize a hunting team like the Demon Domain Immortal Palace to participate in the Falling River Rebellion.

But every time, their harvest was used to cultivate the children of their own family, and they never thought of handing over some to the Asgard Palace.

And for these family forces, although the Asgard Palace is extremely powerful, it is not good to contradict them because of this matter.

So all along, Asgard has also turned a blind eye to the actions of these families.

"Marshal, why do you bother with these people? Sixth-level Immortal Emperor Li Kangjie smiled helplessly.

"Although these families have selfish intentions, the children they provide are quite good. There are also many people who have become the backbone of the Asgard Palace in the future, and looking at it this way, our Asgard is not a loss. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about them, you will get angry when you say it. Yang Yutang waved his hand, not hiding the unhappiness of these families' behavior, "Garrison troops, how are you arranged?"

As soon as he talked about the garrison, Li Kangjie immediately became serious.

"Generalissimo Qiyu, I received information yesterday that there is already a full force of 20,000 soldiers and horses with an average combat power of a third-level immortal king being mobilized from the Immortal Palace

Come here. Presumably, we will arrive in two days tomorrow, and our garrison on the edge of the Fallen River will be greatly strengthened. ”

With a full force of 20,000 third-level immortal kings, the Immortal Palace is worthy of being the most powerful force in the immortal world.

Ma Tianjiao's 20,000-strong third-level Heavenly Immortal army was surprising, and the Immortal Palace increased its combat power dozens of times as soon as it made a move.

"Well, no one knows when the Demon Realm will make a move, and the more soldiers and horses, the better. Yang Yutang nodded and said.

"The two of them, Ming Wujian and Li Zhenyang, also stayed on the front line on the orders of His Majesty, and with these two here, there is no need to worry about the sneak attack on the other side. Now that's all right, go on step by step, but there can be no mistakes. ”

"Yes, the last general will retire!" Li Kangjie gave a military salute, and then left the palace.

Outside the palace, it was still pitch black, with only a river of countless rubble.

But in this vast space, there was an inconspicuous point of light that flashed, and no one could see it.
