Chapter 321: Sneak Attack
In fact, Zongbo has long had the intention of inheritance, he was entrusted by Zhao Feiyu to re-establish the Royal Academy, but the first half of his life was focused on Canglei, so he hoped that Canglei Academy could be reborn after breaking the cocoon, Jiang Dali had a calm temperament, and became more and more stable after previous wars, in addition to his cultivation and low cultivation, he was the best candidate to inherit the position of Dean of Canglei.
As for Ji Fengyu, if he dared to hand over Canglei Academy to him, he would definitely be led astray by him within half a year, and Zong Bo was convinced of this.
As for Ji Fengyu himself, he was not displeased with this, and said to Jiang Dali with a smile: "Oh, that's good! My student becomes the dean, do you want to give me a salary increase and arrange an easy errand!"
Zong Bo slapped his head in the back: "It's beautiful! You give me a hand to stay in the imperial city, the royal academy is in chaos, the students and teachers have run out, and you have to start recruiting students from scratch, and you need ...... manpower."
The only remaining member of the royal family in Tianqing, His Royal Highness Zhao Feiyu is preparing to hold a new academy competition in Zhaoding City, the border town of the original dark flame!
This news quickly spread to all corners of Tianqing through the hands of the dark hall, although after the dark flame fire, the original sixteen academies were greatly injured, but also retained some fire, not all of them died, and the mood after receiving the news was completely different.
And after Tang Lang heard this news, a pleased smile appeared on his face: "Dali actually became the dean of Canglei Academy, not bad, good boy! As for whether these academy people are willing to come or not, it doesn't matter at all, just try out the minds of these people, and when I have time, I will visit them one by one!"
Tang Lang no longer paid attention to the movements of other academies in Tianqing, and concentrated on taking his brothers to repair the city walls little by little, clean the streets, build the ring, and prepare the necessary venues for the upcoming academy competition, as for the place to live, the city was full of vacant houses, as well as a large area of military camps, as for the conditions or something, it was not within Tang Lang's concern at all.
Jiang Dali and Li Xinjue quickly rushed to Zhaoding City to join Tang Lang with the returning Canglei students, and the brothers were naturally very affectionate when they met, but Tang Lang was already concerned about the war between the two empires of Tianlan and Dark Flame at this time, and he had no intention of participating in the competition for hegemony of the academy, and after entrusting the city to the two of them, he left quietly.
After all, the outcome of the battle between the two empires is closely related to the fate of Tianqing in the future, if Tianlan wins, at most it will annex the entire dark flame and become the giant of the Hairuo Continent, Tianqing is attached to his command, even if he is slightly restricted, he can also take the opportunity to recuperate, but if Tianlan is defeated, the dark flame will definitely take the opportunity to fight back, and Tianqing will be on the verge of danger, and he must prepare early.
Tang Lang now regrets a little, when he met Che Hongxi and the others, he should have inquired about Zuo Xiaowei's approximate whereabouts, unlike now, his eyes are black, and he doesn't know the direction at all, if he accidentally breaks into the battle between the two armies, even if he is an emperor-level powerhouse, he will get into trouble.
In desperation, he only knew that he could contact Zha Hongtu and the others through the secret stronghold of Zuo Xiaowei in Chifang City, identify the direction, and gallop towards the north along the border of the dark flame, seeing many traces of the war along the way, and his heart couldn't help but feel some emotion.
"No matter where you go, there will be fights because of greed, civilians are for wealth, cultivators are for spars, and countries are for territory or rights, but in the end, if you succeed or fail, who can prosper forever, Tianqing, Dark Flame, and Tianlan are all ......"
Thinking of this, Tang Lang recalled the past that Gu Yuxia told him about the Central Continent Celestial Empire, and for the first time he had the idea to explore the mystery of this identity: "After this busy period of time, after the dark flame and Tianlan dust have settled, I will leave for the Zhongcang Continent to have a look!"
Day and night, Tang Lang quickly came to Chifang City, at this time Chifang City has also been taken over by Tianlan, he showed Zuo Xiaowei's one-eyed wolf head nameplate was not checked, and soon entered the city to find the original innkeeper.
"Brother shopkeeper, let's meet again!" Tang Lang greeted the shopkeeper with a grin.
The innkeeper was startled at first, and then said indignantly: "At that time, I sent you to the imperial capital, thinking that you were just asking for news, but I didn't expect to be made so many things by you, but fortunately, the arrangements were extremely thorough at that time, otherwise I would not be killed by you!"
Tang Lang raised his eyebrows: "It's all up to the shopkeeper brother to be thorough, but these things I have done are very beneficial to Tianlan, and now I have not already invaded the dark flame, and it is just around the corner to occupy the imperial capital!"
The innkeeper shook his head with a slight hesitation: "How can it be so simple, otherwise Tianlan Dark Flame will not confront each other for hundreds of years! The news from the front line says that the Dark Flame Emperor has shrunk all the elites near the imperial capital, and it is said that there is also a mysterious army participating in the battle, and none of the people who meet them are alive!"
"Is there such a thing?" Tang Lang had a rough guess about the so-called mysterious army, whether it was a corpse Gu Dan or a half-human monster before, it was inseparable from the Demon Transformation Sect, although it was still a little secretive before, but at this time, it was already the moment of the decisive battle between the two empires, and all the hidden forces would be exposed.
"Shopkeeper, you have been infiltrating the Dark Flame for many years to collect intelligence, have you ever heard of anything like a monster army before?" Tang Lang threw out his own question.
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly showed a little essence: "Where did you find out about these things? This is a high secret of Dark Yan, and not many people know about it." He didn't expect Tang Lang to fight against the Monster Legion many times in Tianqing, and he had long been clear about this.
Tang Lang didn't say anything, but emphasized: "I have fought with this kind of monster with Brother Hu Hefeng, so I know something, if you don't have precautions, it's really not easy to deal with." These monsters are not afraid of death, they are only controlled by a flute, and they must use terrain and formations to fight against them!"
"Hu Hefeng also reminded everyone of these situations, but the mysterious legions that appeared this time seem to be different, there are not many of them, and they are scattered all over the place, they are all small team battles, and they are specifically aimed at the middle and high-ranking officers of Tianlan to behead, and they are ruthless, and their cultivation is basically above the sect level, which is extremely terrifying!"
Tang Lang was secretly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then Boss Cha, Brother Hu or Zhai Wu Baihu, are they all right!"
"Our left Xiaowei is in good condition! This mysterious legion should have set off from the Dark Flame Imperial Capital, sneaking up on the Tianlan army from near and far, and the left and right Lingwei were greedy and reckless, and they were the first to be attacked, and more than a dozen hundred household chiefs died, even the thousand households of the right Lingwei were seriously injured by the plot. ”
The shopkeeper's words only made him feel a little relieved, although he and Tianlan had differences because of different interests, but Tang Lang recognized the help of Zha Hongtu and others from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper, where are they stationed, Boss Cha?" I will rush to meet them now, and deal with these monsters, I must take action!"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, took out a dark flame map and put it on the table, shook his head and said, "Lord Cha's whereabouts cannot be easily revealed, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." But I'll be sending a shipment to this place recently, and if you have time, you can help deliver it. ”
The shopkeeper said as he tapped a few times with his finger somewhere on the map, and Tang Lang understood: "I have other things to do, I don't have time to help you deliver the goods for the time being, I will definitely help next time I have the opportunity, and I will say goodbye!"
He didn't stop any longer, and according to the direction pointed out by the shopkeeper, he rushed towards a plain about four hundred miles southwest of the Dark Flame Imperial Capital, preparing to join Zuo Xiaowei and the others as soon as possible to guard against the sneak attack of the monster army.
A day and a half later, just as he was about to reach Zuo Xiaowei's station, he suddenly saw a red dot sweeping across the edge of the system scanning interface.
Tang Lang hurriedly stopped, quietly touched in the direction of the red dot flashing, and just walked forward less than a hundred steps, he found the red dot just now, and counted carefully, there were about sixteen or seventeen.
"Something is wrong! If it was Zuo Xiaowei's vigilant scout, there shouldn't be so many people gathered together, could it be the mysterious legion?" his suspicion became heavier and heavier, and he summoned a stand-in to wrap his whole body tightly, covering all his breath, and lightly fled towards the location where the red dots gathered.
The reason why Zuo Xiaowei specially chose the plain to camp is because the surroundings are unobstructed, and it is not easy to be ambushed and attacked, and there is only a bush that is not lush where the red dot is located, only the height of people's calves, and they can't hide people at all.
Tang Lang desperately opened his eyes wide, and he didn't see any figures, but the red dots on the scanning interface kept flashing, and he would definitely not be mistaken.
"Hiding underground?" Tang Lang reacted for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Hiding underground is my usual method, why do these people also learn from me, it's time to pay the tuition!"
A sly smile appeared on his face, his hands were like electricity, and he threw out more than a dozen quicksand spells in one go, and after careful calculation, each quicksand spell did not overlap, covering a huge area at once.
The ground was slightly yellow, and the hard and flat ground began to flow like water waves, slowly rolling, and all the weeds and gravel on the ground fell.
"Bang...... With a few bangs, the ground suddenly cracked, and more than a dozen tall and burly figures jumped out of the ground, raising dust in the sky, and a dangerous and brutal aura came from its body.
"Whoosh......" Lone Star Short Blade took advantage of the dust, and had already flown out from Tang Lang's side, shuttling back and forth at a rapid pace, drilling several blood holes on the bodies of all figures in less than a breath.
Only then did Tang Lang see clearly that the appearance of these figures was completely different from the monsters he had encountered outside the villa before: these people in front of him were all mentally intelligent and had not been manipulated, and their torsos and heads were no different from ordinary people, but their limbs were really messy, and they looked like all kinds of things, some like wolves, and some like tigers......
Among them, the most sturdy monster had thick black hair on all four limbs, a pair of bear paws the size of a human head, and its eyes scanned around vigilantly, and let out a low beast-like voice: "Who is hiding in the shadows to sneak attack?"
