"How could this be?" Tang Lang couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, although he knew that Tianlan had a slight advantage, he would not have swept through the dark flames, otherwise the two empires would not have faced each other for hundreds of years in the Hairuo Continent.

"What the hell is going on? There must be something wrong with it!" Tang Lang was sure that something had happened.

The person who came hurriedly wrote a secret report written by Wei Yuankui on the ground, and only then did he have a general understanding of the battle of Dark Flame Tianlan: it turned out that eight days ago, a powerful mysterious force suddenly united with Tianlan, and only then did he break through several fortresses on the border of Dark Flame in one fell swoop, and Dark Flame was caught off guard.

"Mysterious forces?" Tang Lang didn't have a clue for a while, in the Hairuo Continent, Dark Flame and Tianlan had always been the most peak existence, where did the other forces intervene?

Since the dark hall has not been in business for a long time, it does not have a deep foundation in the dark flame territory, and the sources can only collect some relatively public information, and there is no way to know the inside story or secrets.

"I have to go to Dark Flame, I can't sit here and wait, maybe I'll miss the perfect opportunity!" Tang Lang immediately made up his mind and informed Shen Zilan and several familiar team captains, asking them to continue to maintain a high level of vigilance, and in case of any emergency, immediately withdraw from Canglei and return to the imperial city.

Although Shen Zilan, who had finally been alone with Tang Lang for a few days, was a little disappointed, she endured the reluctance to part, and told Tang Lang a lot of bits and pieces, which made Tang Lang's heart warm, and she took her into her arms heavily, hugged her tightly for a moment before parting: "Zilan, don't worry about waiting for you in Canglei, I will be back soon!"

"Well, I will definitely wait for you!" Shen Zilan looked at Tang Lang's distant figure, and secretly decided that she must restore Canglei City to normal before he returns.

At the same time that Tang Lang was hurrying at full speed, Tianlan's three-way army also hurriedly stepped up, constantly breaking into the Dark Flame territory, everyone regarded Dark Flame as a delicious cake, and they couldn't wait to swallow it alone, and the most delicious part of the cake was the Dark Flame Imperial Capital, and they all wanted to be the first to capture the Dark Flame Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital of Dark Flame, which should have been in chaos, was in good order at this time, and the streets were still full of people, except for the fact that more and more Dark Flame troops were stationed outside the Imperial Capital, and they were not affected by any imminent war.

In a certain dormitory in the depths of the Imperial Palace, Duan Hongyun, the Emperor of the Dark Flame, opened his eyes from the meditation, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and said to himself: "I have already stepped on the threshold of breakthrough, but I always feel that there is a slight chance missing, it is really hard to find!"

"With your qualifications, it is rare to be able to cultivate to the current level, and it is almost impossible to go to the next level, even if you are reluctant to make a breakthrough, but if you want to expect the emperor level, it is simply wishful thinking!" A voice from the depths of the shadows actually talked to him.

Duan Hongyun didn't have a look of surprise, and said indifferently: "You want to lure me to cultivate the Northern Demon Realm again, let me say it again, even if I don't advance an inch, I won't turn myself into a half-human, half-beast monster! In Hairuo Continent, I am the first person to cultivate!"

"Hairuo Continent is just a small land, a mere seven-rank martial emperor can claim the title of king and hegemon, whether it is in the Northern Demon or Zhongcang, without emperor-level cultivation, who would dare to be the king!" The voice in the shadows was extremely disdainful.

"But this is Hairuo! My Duan clan has been dominant in Hairuo for hundreds of years, and I don't need the people of the Northern Devil to dictate him!" Duan Hongyun is also-for-tat.

Out of the shadows came a strange figure, the body and head were no different from ordinary people, but the limbs were so thick that they were not like words, the arms were almost the thickness of an adult's waist and abdomen, the complexion was dark blue, the surface was covered with fine black hair, and the hands were actually a pair of wolf feet, and the sharp bone claws inside flashed with a dark blue shimmer.

The half-werewolf was not annoyed by Duan Hongyun's words, and continued to persuade patiently: "You can continue to cover your ears and steal the bell, but I am afraid that the territory of Dark Flame has already lost a small half, and there will be half a month at most, and the Duan Clan will not even have a chance to turn over! And you should know very well that Dark Flame is okay to deal with Tianlan, but if there is the intervention of the Zhongcang Continent, Dark Flame will not be enough to see at all!"

"Damn!" Duan Hongyun scolded secretly and didn't speak, and he didn't know if he was scolding Tianlan or Zhongcanglai, or the half-werewolf opposite.

The half-werewolf continued to exert pressure: "You are now gathering all the Dark Flame elites near the imperial capital, don't you just want to fight to the death with Tianlan here, but without my help, you are just stubbornly resisting, and Dark Flame is about to become a thing of the past!"

"Besides, Dark Yan hasn't been secretly studying what corpse Gu Pill and magic transformation secret techniques are, the things in your hands are just some fur left over from the past, how can I have the authentic method here. In ten days at most, I can create a tiger and wolf division for you!"

The half-werewolf's incessant bewitchment finally made Duan Hongyun a little moved: "I can reluctantly accept the assistance of the Northern Devil, but I have a few requirements: first, Dark Flame will never become a vassal of the Northern Demon, and if there is no intervention from Zhongcang, the Northern Demon will also not get involved in Hairuo's affairs; second, all the secret methods must be reviewed by me first, and they can only be used for the transformation of the army after my consent, and there can be no backhand left in the secret methods; finally, the safety of my Duan clan must be guaranteed!"

A bright smile appeared on the half-werewolf's face: "Don't worry, the goal of the Northern Devil has always been Zhongcang, and when we were driven away, one day, the Northern Demon will reoccupy Zhongcang!

He wiped it from his chest, a row of shiny crystal bottles floated in the air, filled with dark red blood, faintly still shining with a hint of blue-green light, the half-werewolf continued: "These essence blood are the best choice, you only need to select a group of scholar-level dead soldiers, with the blessing of my secret method, you can let them quickly reach the high-grade sect level, and they are not afraid of death, there is no possibility of betrayal!"

Duan Hongyun couldn't believe that there would be such a magical secret method that could forcibly raise a person's cultivation to two great grades, and asked tentatively: "If the Northern Demon really has such a powerful secret method, how can it still be trapped in the extreme north, and it should have captured the Zhongcang Continent long ago." So there's bound to be some limitations, right?"

The half-werewolf didn't hide it, and generously admitted: "That's natural! This method requires a lot of overdraft of life force, which means that the lifespan of these dead soldiers will be greatly shortened while their cultivation is improved, only a few months, but it is just right for the current situation of Dark Flame, isn't it?"

Duan Hongyun was noncommittal, and could be regarded as agreeing with the other party's statement.

"As for a perfect transformation like mine, not only will it not affect lifespan, but it can also bring unexpected benefits, such as increasing potential and breaking through bottlenecks!" The half-werewolf looked at his wolf claws, his eyes full of fanatical expressions, as if it was a sacred thing to be transformed into this half-human, half-beast appearance.

His last sentence was naturally deliberately said to Duan Hongyun, which was tantamount to a huge temptation for a person who had been trapped in the existing realm for more than ten years.

Duan Hongyun really couldn't help but ask: "When you think of breaking through the realm, do you have to become like this?" Of course, it is good to be able to break through the realm, but with this kind of change, I am afraid that I will not be able to gain a foothold in Hairuo!"

"For us, what power and wealth are not as important as our own cultivation! As for the worldly vision, you don't have to take it to heart, if one day, you can rule the entire Hairuo, the standard of good, evil, beauty and ugliness can be reformulated by you!"

Although Duan Hongyun was very clear about the other party's intentions, on the one hand, after Tianlan received the support of Zhongcang, he had already overwhelmed the realm, and on the other hand, his cultivation could not find the direction of breakthrough, so he fell silent for a while, and when the half-werewolf saw this situation, the corners of his mouth grinned in an arc, and he turned back and retreated into the shadows......

As he continued to approach the other end of the Moting Jungle, the doubts in Tang Lang's heart were also constantly magnifying, last time he could detect the traces of the Dark Flame Scout in the jungle, but this time he couldn't even see a single figure, after the beast tide caused by Tang Lang last time, the number of demonic beasts decreased sharply, and the entire jungle seemed extremely quiet.

The wide and tall walls of Zhaoding City soon appeared in front of him.

As the gate checkpoint of the dark flame north, the last time it was stationed was the more elite Huwei army than Yokono and Li Feng, although it fell short under Tang Lang's sneak attack, but it was not comparable to the Tianqing army, that is, it also had the power to fight against the Tianlan Xuanjia army.

The last time Zhaoding City was heavily guarded, but this time there was not even a figure on the city wall, and the city wall that was destroyed by Tang Lang before was only half repaired, and everything looked extremely weird.

Tang Lang didn't approach directly, but turned on the system scanning, and carefully searched for a long time near the city wall, and finally confirmed that Dark Yan really set off, and then flew up the city wall to check what was going on.

Zhaoding City is a military city, although there are not many residents in the city, there are thousands of people, but at this time the city is quiet and lifeless, and the ground is full of scattered property, which shows how hurried the evacuation was.

"Could it be that there is a great change in the country of Dark Flame?" Tang Lang had no clue about this, and the only thing he could guess was the battle between several princes.

In any case, the current situation is a godsend for Tianqing, not only to take this opportunity to regain territory, but also to recuperate.

Tang Lang, who was standing at the top of the city wall, fell into deep thought, whether to stick to Canglei City, or be more daring, and simply take Zhaoding City as his own, so that even if the dark flame makes a comeback one day, he will break through here first, so that he will have the opportunity to enter the Moting jungle, so that Canglei City has a greater strategic position.

"But I don't seem to have enough manpower!" Tang Lang glanced at the city wall that stretched for dozens of miles, even if the thousand people on hand were all standing under the city wall, they might not be able to see each other clearly, let alone help each other defend each other.

"it! Kill the bold, starve the cowardly, such a good Xiongguan is in front of you, where can you find such a good opportunity!"
