Chapter 219: Attacking the Xiaoyao Palace
The Holy Emperor Bai Xiaoyao personally ordered 20,000 demon cultivators and asked them to attack the Xiaoyao Palace, but they suffered defeat on the first day, retreated to the foot of the mountain, recuperated their strength, and prepared to fight again!
To say that Yang Gongyuan's strength would never dare to challenge the Xiaoyao Palace, but he has the support of the Holy Emperor.
"We lost the first battle, it's not surprising, but defeat must also be worthwhile, judging from the attitude of the Holy Emperor, our defeat is still valuable. β
Yang Gongyuan's expression was solemn, and Liu Fei and Long Binghan waited respectfully on the side. Several of his commanders are almost dead, the Xiong brothers are still watching in Xiaoyao Palace, and Hu Yidao has disappeared since the sheep inspection.
Liu Fei said, "My lord, isn't this the Holy Emperor tantamount to letting us die, leaving aside the two emperors of the southeast in the Xiaoyao Palace, it is not easy to deal with those few Terran monks." β
Long Binghan also echoed, "Yes, my lord, in this battle, the two emperors haven't made a move, and we won't be able to form an army, how can we fight this battle?"
Yang Gongyuan smiled and said, "The Holy Emperor has his own decision, you guys guard the camp well, and you are going to go to the Xiaoyao Palace." β
"Xiaoyao Palace?" Liu Fei was taken aback when he heard this. "My lord, Xiaoyao Palace can't wait to eat our meat, aren't you going to die like this?"
"The two soldiers are fighting, if you don't kill them, they won't do anything to me!"
The sheep was far from confident, his hands were tied behind his back, and he walked away alone.
Xiaoyao Palace can now be regarded as a corner of safety, relying on the protective array left by Xie Tian, although Bai Xiaoyao has thousands of troops and horses, he is helpless.
"There is no news from Xiaotian so far, how can this be good?" Qinglong was a little anxious.
Emperor Vermilion Bird was still stable, "There is no news from Xiaotian, which can be regarded as good news, at least it proves that he is not dead." β
The people in the hall agreed with Emperor Suzaku's words.
"Bai Xiaoyao's people have already attacked us once, and I believe they will make a comeback!" Fei Yiqi said.
Wu Changkong also nodded, "We have limited manpower, so we can't fight hard, I think that if there is a good opportunity, we should withdraw, and there is not much point in defending an empty city!"
Zhang Che frowned, "I don't approve of this, in case Childe comes back, but we lose the Xiaoyao Palace, how can we be worthy of Childe's trust!"
Many people agreed with Zhang Che's words, especially the Bai sisters. The atmosphere in the hall was quiet, and no one wanted to speak anymore, and they didn't know what to say.
Huang Lang hurriedly came in and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Gong is far away outside the palace and asks to see him!"
"Ma Dan, he still dares to come, I'll clean him up!" Wu Changkong got up and said.
Qinglong said, "You said he came to ask for a meeting, but he was alone?"
Huang Lang replied, "It's really him!"
"Bring him in and see what he says?" Emperor Vermilion Bird nodded.
Huang Lang turned to leave, and after a while, Yang Gongyuan appeared in the main hall with a proud expression, he looked around, and then said, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor ordered me to send an invitation, and I have invited the Eastern Emperor and the Southern Emperor to move and discuss the plan of the Sea of Stars!"
After Yang Gongyuan finished speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Qinglong, and then said, "I wonder if the two emperors can agree to the appointment?"
Emperor Vermilion Bird said coldly, "Go back and tell that Bai Xiaoyao, we will go to the appointment on time." β
Yang Gongyuan turned around and left, but was stopped by Wu Changkong, "Want to go?"
"What does this mean?" Yang Gongyuan looked at the people in the hall vigilantly and said coldly. "You're trying to snipe me to death in the main hall, what a good means!"
He laughed and looked disdainful. Emperor Vermilion Bird waved his hand, "Let him go, if you want to kill him, there is a chance, don't dirty the Xiaoyao Palace!"
Yang Gong was far out of the Xiaoyao Palace, and then he took a long breath, this kind of thing, it seems that he will have to do less in the future, and he will not do it if he can do it, in case people are in a bad mood, he will kill people directly, where to reason.
In the main hall, the military commander was in the air, "Why don't you let me kill that guy with one sword?"
"Two soldiers are fighting, and they don't kill them. If we don't talk about morality, won't we just be used by Bai Xiaoyao to buy people's hearts!"
Fei Yiqi is reasonable, in fact, Wu Changkong also understands this truth, he is just angry and arrogant.
Qinglong and Suzaku felt that this was a trap, but they couldn't help it, so they urgently held a meeting, and the content was nothing more than what happened after they went to the appointment.
Qinglong and the Second Emperor of Vermilion Bird are the strongest combat power in Xiaoyao Palace, and if the two of them are not there, Bai Xiaoyao will definitely take this opportunity to attack Xiaoyao Palace, so everyone must cheer up.
Early the next morning, the green dragon and the red bird left together, and Bai Xiaoyao chose the location of the negotiation on a small island. The area of the island is not large, there is no vegetation, and it is bare, which is also to dispel the doubts of the two emperors of the southeast.
Now although the sea of stars is already a white and free world, but the emperor of the two emperors of the green dragon and the red bird is still there, one green and one red, two figures stand on the coast, the momentum is slightly released, there is a demon cultivator in the sea to appear, after the worship ceremony, the true body is revealed, the second emperor is humped, and the waves are gone!
Some of the islands are washed by the sea all year round, and there is no vegetation left, leaving only bare rocks. It has become a habitat for seabirds.
It was late autumn, the sky was blue, a flock of seabirds was scattered, and among the scattered birds, an exquisite pavilion was carried by several large birds and landed on the island from somewhere.
In the pavilion, in front of the exquisite piano table, Bai Xiaoyao was dressed in an imperial costume, sitting with an unparalleled momentum, and four handsome boys were standing beside him.
The place to negotiate with the two emperors of the southeast was chosen by him, and only on such a clean island was he willing to stay, and he even airlifted his favorite pavilion and Tong'er.
Qinglong and Suzaku stepped on the back of the turtle, rode the wind and waves, and came to the island smoothly.
Bai Xiaoyao smiled, his fingers gently brushing the strings.
Qinglong sat opposite Bai Xiaoyao very casually, holding the teacup, "Say, how are you going to deal with us?"
Bai Xiaoyao pressed the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, "You think too highly of yourself, right! I just want to get my Xiaoyao Palace back!"
Suzaku's face was cold, although he had long known that Bai Xiaoyao's invitation might be to divert the tiger from the mountain, but when he said it himself, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
"You think that if we leave, your subordinates will have a chance, you are so naΓ―ve!"
Suzaku also came over, but he didn't like other people's tea, so he just looked at Bai Xiaoyao coldly.
"You think that if you lure us away, Xiaoyao Palace can be at your mercy, you see Xiaotian as too simple. β
Bai Xiaoyao said, "It doesn't matter about these verbal disputes, we just need to sit and wait for the news, oh yes, I recently pondered a new tune and played it for the two of you to enjoy!"
Qinglong said angrily, "This is your purpose, to hold us back." β
Bai Xiaoyao's fingers brushed the strings, "That's true!"
Boom......
The sound of the piano sounded, the blue sky lit up with a flame, and Bai Yao smiled, "The show begins!"
Yang Gongyuan looked at the bright fireworks in the sky, and waved his arm, "Attack!"
After the two emperors of the southeast left, Fei Yiqi took over the city defense, and all the soldiers were already guarding their posts, closely monitoring every move at the foot of the mountain.
The wind blew, whining and whining. However, in this dashing wind, there is a hint of whistling. A sentry frowned slightly, listened carefully, and suddenly shouted, "Arrow attack!"
Before the words fell, an overwhelming array of arrows roared. Because of the sentinel's warning, most of the soldiers hid in the fortifications in time, and only a few soldiers were a little slow to react and died under the arrows.
The arrows that didn't hit the people were stuck in the fortifications, and the monks of the Xiaoyao Palace patted their chests, glad that they reacted quickly, and they also had to thank the sentinel who had given the warning, but the sentry had been pierced into a hedgehog.
No one paid attention to the arrows, which had lost their effect, but leaned out and prepared to meet the enemy. However, the mutation abruptly changed. The wind started out of nowhere, blowing through the arrow feathers, and then, a mark on the arrow feathers that seemed to be deliberately left suddenly lengthened and connected to another line.
Boom Boom!
An extremely destructive force exploded on the arrow feathers, and the nearby soldiers were instantly overturned, Zhang Che suddenly understood, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Fu Arrow!"
Only then did the people react and move towards a place where there were no arrows. The palace was disturbed by a burst of arrows. Wu Changkong also knew the magic of these arrow feathers, and when the crowd dispersed, a trace of spiritual power was released, and the remaining arrows were detonated.
Boom Boom!
The aftermath of the explosion was overwhelming, the remnants of arrow shafts were flying everywhere, and there was a hissing sound everywhere.
Another group of soldiers fell, and Wu Chang's eyes were about to split, but he still restrained the hatred in his heart and shouted loudly, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The demon cultivators at the foot of the mountain had already taken advantage of the chaos to rush to the outside of the palace, and the largest bear clan began to hit the door frantically, the mountain shook, and there were constantly falling rocks falling off the cliff and falling into the sea.
Xiaoyao Palace was in a hurry by a rain of arrows, but it soon calmed down and returned to its position one after another, ready to meet the enemy.
Looking at the gate that was about to be destroyed, Fei Yiqi shouted, "Open the door and fight!"
Crunch......
The door opened, and the demon cultivator roared and rushed in, instantly touching the formation left by Xie Tian. The first of these formations is the Flying Stone.
A wave of earth-shattering air exploded, and the stones buried under the lawn were stirred by the energy in the formation. Bumped into the demon cultivator who was rushing towards the door.
Bang bang bang!
The power of the flying stone is no worse than that of an arrow, it is really bruised, and the shot is dead. Yang Gongyuan's vanguard was attacked by rocks, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded.
But these demon cultivators were not afraid at all, and continued to rush forward, it seemed that they were planning to break through with their bodies.
After the Flying Stone Formation, there are also fire arrays, thunder arrays, and smoke arrays......
The people in the Xiaoyao Palace were dumbfounded, this is too awesome! There are so many powerful formations, how can they not know it.
Yang Gongyuan's face was blue with anger, he expected that there would be traps in the palace, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious, 20,000 demon cultivators, half of them were broken before they reached the main hall, and the price was too great.
