With the neutral gate valves taking refuge in the second prince one by one, the situation of the country is gradually becoming clearer!

However, the four princes were assisted by the two powerhouses at the peak of the Bone Shedding Realm, General Zhushi and the Iron Sword King, and with an army of 400,000 in hand, they were not completely defeated for a while.

Six months later, nearly half of the cities under the command of the Four Princes had fallen, and the armies under the command of the Iron Sword King and General Zhushi had shrunk to the vicinity of Wind Lotus City.

Among these cities, the South Cave City has become an outlier.

To the north of the South Cave City, it is already the territory of the second prince.

To the south of the South Cave City, there are forty-three cities, and the second prince also occupies twenty-six, and only seventeen cities have not yet surrendered.

Among these cities, only nine are firmly controlled by General Zhushi and the Iron Sword King, and the others are all cities of the Gate Valve Family, which may turn against each other at any time.

And the South Cave City has become a nail in the heart of the second prince, he has sent three Bone Reduction Realm powerhouses to infiltrate the South Cave City, and they all disappeared silently!

The South Cave City seems to have turned into a devouring giant beast.

In Quhe City, which is adjacent to Nangu City, the second prince is holding a banquet, and the heads of all the gate valve families are present at the banquet.

On the side of the second prince, there are also three middle-aged warriors, two men and one woman, all wearing knife-shaped hair brins, which are the marks of the mad knife grandmaster, and only the seven disciples of the mad knife grandmaster can wear this kind of hairbrand.

"I've met His Royal Highness the Second Prince. The heads of the various gate valve families stood up and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, you are all the pillars of my country, now the disaster will be peaceful, you have also made great contributions, and when the traitor bows his head, this prince will be rewarded for his merits, and the remaining eighteen cities will be handed over to you to manage. The second prince motioned for everyone to sit down, and said loudly at the same time.

Hearing the words of the second prince, the eyes of these gate valve families all glowed green.

Eighteen cities, what a lot of fat is this, the second prince is so willing.

"As for how to reward them, what do you think?" the second prince looked at these family heads.

"Your Highness, according to the old minister, whoever shoots it down will own it!" Taishi Dou was the first to shout.

"It makes sense, Master Dou is right. The other heads of the family chimed in.

"Master Dou's method is very fair, so let's do it!" the second prince nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, Your Highness, long live your Highness, long live, long live!" all the heads of the family stood up at the same time to thank them

。

Seeing the excitement of the heads of these gate valve families, the second prince sneered in his heart.

The people who participated in the banquet today were all neutral gate valve families, and he threw out this piece of fat meat in order to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, so that the major families could fight to the death with the four princes.

Although there are only eighteen cities left, the four princes' forces have not lost much, and the Pillar Stone General and the Iron Sword King are still unscathed.

Eighteen cities are the final bottom line of the four princes.

Once the second prince continues to persecute, the fourth prince, who has no way out, will inevitably break the kettle and fight to the death with the second prince.

When the time comes, the two armies will fight, with countless casualties, and even if the second prince masters the invasion of the country, he can only be a puppet emperor if he does not have enough troops.

That's why he will give away these eighteen cities, driven by huge interests, the gate valve families know that there is danger, and they will desperately rush forward to fight for the city.

When the time comes, the second prince will easily unify the country, and then slowly figure it out, with the support of the Crazy Sword Grandmaster, and the help of the Dushan Grandmaster, he believes that in ten years at most, he will be able to completely control the country.

And these neutral gate valve families, he will not let go of any of them.

The killing intent in the hearts of the second prince was unknown to the major families, but the three Holy Lake disciples on his side were very clear.

"Your Highness, I will understand what you mean, but now there is a trouble, who will solve it in the South Cave City?" said Yuan Ke, a disciple of the Holy Lake.

They didn't dare to go to the South Cave City, where four Bone Transforming Realm martial artists had already died, and the first one to die was their third senior brother, who practiced in vain.

If the other party can kill Leng Dao Bai Lian, he will be able to kill them, there is no doubt about it.

Moreover, the garrison near the South Cave City has also entered the city, and now there are as many as 40,000 defenders in the city, and there are city walls to rely on, if you want to capture this majestic city, I am afraid it will take 200,000 troops.

"The hard bones of South Cave City, those gate valve families will definitely not choose, we can only do it ourselves, but if we attack it, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. Another Sacred Lake disciple followed.

The second prince fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he spoke, "It's really not good, this prince can only ask the master to go out of the mountain, but he is just a dignified grandmaster, but he wants to attack a city, this matter is a little embarrassing, you must not say it outside." ”

"I'll understand. The three Holy Lake disciples nodded in unison.

......

In the city of the South Cave, Qin

Next to Xuan's mansion, I don't know when there was another city lord's mansion.

Ling Hu Xiang took down the mansion next door to Qin Xuan and used it as a temporary mansion, and he could feel at ease by Qin Xuan's side.

Although the generals in the city did not understand, they did not dare to ask more.

Now the battle situation is unfavorable, and the whole city is panicked, but fortunately, the South Cave City is a fortress, the city is high and the walls are thick, and there are two mountains to guard both sides.

For a while, the army of the second prince could not enter.

As for the attack and killing of the martial artists of the Bone Shedding Realm, these generals didn't know about it at all, and Ling Fox didn't spread it, even the four princes didn't know about it.

Qin Xuan's meaning was very clear, try to keep a low profile, and when the time came, the threat of the Crazy Sword Sect Master could naturally be resolved.

Ling Hu Xiang didn't know that Qin Xuan was trying to break through to the Bone Shedding Realm and make his strength go to the next level, so that he could be more sure of dealing with the Crazy Sword Sect Master.

He thought that Qin Xuan was just waiting for his master's support.

As for Fang Dian, the general of the Bone Realm who mastered the garrison, he was assassinated by the second prince two months ago!

Now tens of thousands of garrisons outside the city have also fallen into the hands of Linghu Xiang and are under his control.

After Ling Hu Xiang knew that the Crazy Sword Sect Master had chosen the second prince, he expected today's scene, so he hoarded grain and grass early, and now the grain and grass in the South Cave City are enough to support a year.

Even if the four princes are completely defeated, the South Cave City may not fall.

......

In the dead wood courtyard, the true qi in Qin Xuan's body surged, and the surroundings were filled with a strong aura.

Now that his soul power had reached the middle of the fifth order, the giant Spirit Gathering Array covering the entire mansion had also been operational, and the aura was ten times stronger than the small Spirit Gathering Array, no less than the environment of the Sun Moon Academy.

Cultivating in this environment, Qin Xuan's cultivation increased day by day, and he finally reached the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, and at this moment, he was in the critical period of breaking through the realm.

Bang!

The true qi in Qin Xuan's body tumbled and surged, and under Qin Xuan's control, it condensed into a tiny whirlpool, and as the whirlpool turned faster and faster, his true qi also began to condense and transform, turning into a substantial mist.

"Finally broke through!" Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In his previous life, he had the purple gold rune as his backing, and he didn't need to worry about the endurance of the dantian at all, just close his eyes and forcibly rush through the level.

But you can't do this in this life, breaking through this bottleneck, Qin Xuan spent half a month.
