The grain and grass troops advanced rapidly, even if they were far away, everyone heard the noisy sound of horses' hooves, and the place where the troops passed was dusty and mighty forward.

All the disciples pinched their sweats, today's task is not simple, in addition to facing a large elite army, they also have to face the pursuit of the spirit master troops, which is extremely dangerous.

The vanguard of the grain and grass troops had already passed the ambush circle and advanced forward, Jiang Heng signaled them not to move rashly, and he did not issue an order until most of the troops entered the ambush circle.

All the disciples who were in ambush all stood in the dangerous places at both ends of the road to launch a surprise attack, Jiang Heng leaped up and cut through the huge stubborn stone with a sword and rolled down, crushing a large number of soldiers, and the others played countless spiritual qi training, and for a while, there was a mess below, and people turned over on their backs.

The spirit masters who were mixed in the troops jumped out one after another to fight back, "Quickly burn the grain and grass", Jiang Heng shouted. He alone withstood the siege of several powerful spirit masters and launched an earth-shattering battle.

Ignoring it, the fire spirit master frantically unleashed countless flames at the crowd and the chariots and horses, and a large number of chariots and horses and the crowd turned into a sea of fire.

A group of temporary targets came to stop them frantically, and the two sides were in chaos.

Many of the soldiers below wailed, "You water spirit masters hurry up and put out the fire, and the rest of the people will give priority to hunting fire spirit masters", Song Yue commanded his spirit master to fight.

"A few of you who stop them, don't let them stop our Fire Spirit Master," Jiang Heng shouted.

He slashed the spirit master who besieged him with a few swords, rushed into the crowd and killed the water spirit master who put them out the fire, and Song Yue also saw the culprit.

"Bastard, give me death", Song Yue, as the right-hand man of the Shadow Moon King, is not weak, and he has set his sights on Jiang Heng and launched a big battle.

At this time, more and more grain and grass carts and horses were ignited, and more and more grain and grass turned into a sea of fire, and the situation was completely out of control.

Zhao Tianhu saw that the task was basically completed, and he was ready to let the ambushed spirit master urge the trapped formation. But finding that Jiang Heng was encircled, he had to pause.

"Senior brother, hurry up and break through, it's too late if you don't leave", Zhao Tianhu shouted.

Hearing Zhao Tianhu shouting, he knew that the task was basically completed, and he was ready to get out, but at this moment, more than a dozen powerful temporary beings surrounded him, and Song Yue was also in hot pursuit, and it was difficult for him to get out.

"A few of you protect the Spirit Formation Master, I'll go to support him," Zhao Tianhu shouted.

He jumped down and crushed the large number of sergeants frantically, and the ordinary soldiers could not stop them in the slightest.

"Senior brother, I'm here to help you", Zhao Tianhu killed a few people and rushed in.

"You shouldn't come in, let them launch a spirit array to cover their retreat," Jiang Heng shouted.

"Once the spirit array is activated, we will also be trapped, and it will be difficult to leave when the time comes," Zhao Tianhu said.

"There is no time, we can't let all the disciples fall into trouble, the two of us will kill with all our might, as long as I am alive, I won't let you fall", Jiang Heng burst out with terrifying sword qi, and several spirit masters died in an instant.

Zhao Tianhu issued an arrow, and several ambushed spirit masters instantly urged several large arrays, and for a while, the aura was monstrous, and a large number of people and horses were trapped in several spirit arrays, and Jiang Hengyou sounded the horn of retreat.

"Retreat," one of the disciples shouted.

"But senior brother, he's still trapped," someone wondered.

"The task is more important than everything, carry out the order", someone shouted.

Seeing that the order to retreat was issued, all the remaining spirit masters who had escaped from the trap chose to retreat in an orderly manner, and soon disappeared from view, with their withdrawal, the spirit array quickly ran out of spiritual energy, and disappeared, Jiang Heng and the other four or five people fell into a heavy encirclement.

"Today is your wings, I will capture all of you alive and send them to the general, let him decide your fate, and kill all of you for me", Song Yue roared.

If they were all allowed to escape today, he would not be able to escape the crime, and the general would certainly not spare him.

"Later, I will create an opportunity for you to escape", Jiang Heng and the others relied on each other to form horns to defend.

"Hands-on".

The war broke out again, and Song Yue's more than thirty surviving spirit masters were all killed, and Song Yue started a big battle with him again.

Jiang Heng burst out with terrifying power, his heavy sword was devastating on the battlefield, it was very terrifying, although his strength was not weak, he didn't dare to fight head-on, so he could only rely on his powerful spiritual skills to deal with him.

He wanted to wait for the other spirit masters to deal with the remaining few people, and then work together to take him down.

Jiang Heng saw him stalling for time and knew his intentions, he chose to attack other spirit masters, he unleashed several terrifying sword blades, and the sword qi that split mountains and stones killed several spirit masters on the spot, and everyone took a cool breath.

Song Yue killed again, his swordsmanship was weird, his strength was not strong but his moves were subtle, and he killed one of Jiang Heng's junior disciples as soon as he made a move.

Successfully injured Zhao Tianhu again, "You will fall one by one, this is the consequence of you provoking the Danyang Empire", Song Yue roared.

Jiang Hengzhan has so far left only him and Zhao Tianhu to insist, and the other few people have fallen to the ground and their lives are unknown.

"It's now, I'll create an opportunity, you fly out", Jiang Heng plunged his sword into the ground, and shouted, his Tianmai acupoint erupted with amazing might, "Earth Explosion Tiangang" Jiang Heng launched his strongest move, he grabbed the injured Zhao Tianhu and threw him onto the steep mountain wall.

The huge sword qi penetrated the heavens and the earth, and the earth elements within dozens of zhang around him rotated wildly, and he instantly pulled out the big sword and shot out a huge circular sword qi, and the huge sword qi spread out wildly with him as the center, with a wide range of dozens of zhang.

The terrifying qi blade cut off the more than a dozen powerful spirit masters around him, and many warriors who had no time to dodge on the periphery were instantly killed by the terrifying qi blade, and the wind he rolled up blew away a large number of soldiers.

This set of sword moves could only be possessed by a heavy swordsman with a strong aura like him, but his blow almost exhausted all his spiritual energy, and at this moment he had entered the end of the strong crossbow.

At this moment, Song Yue, who fell in the distance, was scared with blood spitting blood, and his spirit armor was directly shattered, but he still blocked it.

Seeing the corpses that were cut off all over the field, he had palpitations, "Everyone will kill me, who can capture him alive, and the official will be promoted to the third level", Song Yue shouted.

The rest of the spirit masters swarmed up, seeing Zhao Tianhu on the cliff escape from danger, he no longer had a trace of scruples, even if the spiritual energy was exhausted, he was also brave, his heavy sword caused a huge deterrent to many soldiers, many people saw him killed, and their legs were weak with fright.

At this moment, his whole body rock and soil armor was shattered, he no longer had any strength to gather armor and body protection, and fell into an endless military formation, his whole body was in tatters, he had been frantically overdrawing his physical strength, stubbornly refusing to fall, and the corpses around him fell in pieces.

But in the face of the vast sea of people, he fought until he couldn't even raise his sword, and finally fell in the sea of corpses and blood.

On a big mountain in the distance, Zhao Tianhu did not stay away, he saw Jiang Heng's trapped beast fight, he never understood why Jiang Heng fought so crazy every time, he saw this man's courage at the moment, even if he was under siege, he wanted to create hope for his teammates to escape.

Zhao Tianhu saw Jiang Heng fall in the sea of corpses and blood, and knew that he must be more than lucky, so he could only flee the scene with injuries, preparing to organize his brothers to recapture his remains.

In this operation, in the absence of foreign aid, although the forcible action barely achieved the result, but it had to pay a terrible price, and in the secret camp, everyone's faces were full of worry this time.

It wasn't until Zhao Tianhu dragged his injured body to the camp that the others realized that their senior brother was more than lucky.

Song Yue finally took down Jiang Heng at the cost of a large number of spirit masters and elite soldiers, and Jiang Heng, who was unconscious at the moment, was captured alive by him, as well as several disciples who had fallen before.

This raid burned a lot of supplies, which was bound to greatly damage the morale of the Shadow Moon army.

Under the sunset, Song Yue set up the battlefield, gathered the surviving materials, and led the troops to continue to advance, after they left, the battlefield left countless messes, the blood on the ambush position stained the road, it was terrifying, and many crows were eating the bodies of the dead.

Zhao Tianhu finally woke up under the help of everyone, he looked at the countless eyes staring at him, and said painfully: "At the last moment, Senior Brother chose to throw me out of the battlefield, facing the vast army alone, and finally fought to the last strength, and finally fell in a pool of blood."

"We have to organize an attack plan to retrieve the remains of the senior brother when they arrive, and we can't let him be humiliated, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the master when we go back," someone stood up and said.

"Senior brother told us before leaving, we must focus on the task, he sacrificed in order to complete the task, if we rush forward, we will only take our lives in vain, at this moment we should send someone to find Uncle Li Dufeng, and he will decide our next action", someone said.

"Senior Brother is the first disciple of the sect, and the stakes are very high, so we must immediately send someone to the sect to report to the sect and let him avenge the elder brother," someone else said.

"I don't care what you do, my life was saved by Senior Brother, I will go and snatch his remains tonight, if any of you want to go, follow me", Zhao Tianhu said.

"I'll go".

"I'm willing to go", several people were willing to follow for a while, and everyone talked about it for a while.

"Otherwise, on the one hand, we will send someone to inform Senior Uncle Li and the head of the sect, and on the other hand, we will go to the place where they are camping to see if there is a chance to make a move, if there is no chance, everyone must retreat, otherwise we will all live up to everything that Senior Brother has done", someone stood up and said.

"That's the only way, leave the two of them to report the news, and all the other disciples who still have combat ability go," Zhao Tianhu said.

"Don't go if you're seriously injured," someone advised.

"You underestimate me, even if I am injured, I am better than you," Zhao Tianhu said.

They marched quickly through the darkness of the night, chasing the troops of the Shadow Moon Fortress along the road, and arrived at the place where they had set up camp in the middle of the night.

But to everyone's speechlessness, these people seemed to know that they might come to the rescue, and they sent out a huge number of patrols, full of secret posts, and people were always on the lookout.

"They have suffered huge losses this time, they will not let us take it easily, as long as we pass, we will definitely be surrounded", someone observed the situation in the camp.

"You wait, I'll go grab someone and ask", a disciple who was good at assassination, he quietly knocked out a patrolling soldier unconscious.

His big hole was sealed by everyone, "waking him up," Zhao Tianhu said.

The soldier woke up, but was completely unable to move, his eyes were rolling in fright, but he couldn't make any sound.

A bright knife was pointed at his neck: "You can answer honestly what we ask, otherwise you will die immediately."

The soldier had long turned pale with fright, "Where is that man during the day, is he still alive?"

"I—I don't know," the soldier shuddered.

"Are you looking for death? Say it quickly, or you will die immediately."

"He was taken back to the front-line camp by General Song Yue overnight, and he knew that you would come to intercept and kill, so he rushed to the front line overnight," the soldier said tremblingly.

"Is he still alive?"

"I'm just an ordinary soldier who doesn't know much about the situation, but I don't think I will survive when I see General Song loading him into a carriage along with a few corpses," the soldier said.

Everyone's hearts were half cold, but they didn't expect this to be the result, "Since my senior brother is dead, you can also accompany him", Zhao Tianhu killed this soldier with a knife.

"Let's go to the front camp to investigate," someone said.

"There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the front camp, and even if the old man is trapped, he will not want to escape, and we may be strangled by the patrol force halfway," someone said.

"This operation is canceled, wait for the instructions of the sect, the senior brother has a very high status in the sect, and the head of the sect will find a way to avenge him", someone said.

Zhao Tianhu was dragged away by them with great reluctance, and the operation was forced to abandon.

In the military camp twenty miles in front of Dark Night City, Song Yue had arrived at this moment, and at this moment he was facing the wrath of the Shadow Moon King's return to the sea of clouds.

"Song Yue, the old man gave you dozens of elite spirit masters, but you have betrayed the trust of the general, it can be called a fiasco, your defeat has shaken the morale of the army, the old man's attack has to be delayed again, this is a capital crime, come on, drag it out and cut it", the general was furious, a lot of military rations were destroyed, and he couldn't explain to His Majesty the Emperor.

"The general is angry, although I didn't keep the military rations this time, but I caught the culprit and several of his companions, he is now unconscious and waiting outside the tent for the general to deal with it, begging the general to spare his life", Song Yue said tremblingly.

"The general is angry, although Song Yue made a big mistake this time, but he has been loyal to the general for many years, and being able to capture the culprit can be regarded as being able to stabilize the morale of the army, and the death penalty can be avoided, how about changing it to a battle?"

"Bring the culprit in first, and General Ben will see for himself if he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall", and the Shadow Moon King calmed his anger.

The two sergeants walked in with the unconscious Jiang Heng, who was still in a coma at the moment, with blood stains all over his body, and he had been stripped of his spirit armor and bound by shackles.

"Lift his head up for the old man," the Shadow Moon King ordered.

"It's really a waste, a young man in his twenties will beat you Song Yue like this", the Shadow Moon King's anger flared up again, and Song Yue didn't dare to come out.

"General, don't look at his young age, his strength is already the best among the younger generation, even a dozen of our spirit masters are not his opponents, and it has cost a lot of soldiers to capture him", Song Yue replied in a low voice.

"Is this man really so brave?" the military advisor asked.

"All soldiers can testify that Song Yue did not flinch, his fighting ability is really exaggerated, and Song is not his opponent," Song Yue explained.

"General, you know Song Yue's ability, to be able to defeat Song Yue, this young man is not simple", the military advisor said.

"To wake him up, I want to see how arrogant the young man who has repeatedly made us suffer a lot," said the Shadow Moon King.

Song Yue stepped forward and sent some aura to Jiang Heng to wake him up, at this moment Jiang Heng collapsed all over his body, he almost increased his potential, and now he couldn't even stand, when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was tied up in a military tent: "I'm not dead yet, you must be the Shadow Moon King returning to the sea of clouds, hum", Jiang Heng sneered.

"Good boy, as a prisoner of General Ben, you still dare to be arrogant, tell me what you are behind the scenes, General Ben will let you die a happy death", the general said.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to make a big statement, aren't you afraid that the heroic spirit of the former emperor will come to you to settle accounts?" Jiang Heng instantly roared and struggled fiercely, and the sergeant held him down.

"Bold, dare to contradict the general, you are tired of life", Song Yue said.

"Am I wrong? Back then, the famous Shadow Moon family colluded with Jiang Bingkun to kill the emperor for the sake of glory and wealth, isn't it a chaotic minister or a thief, what a bullshit general, I'm sorry", Jiang Heng disdained.

Over the years, since the Shadow Moon King Gui Yunhai took over his father's official title ten years ago, no one has dared to expose his family's scars like this, "Come on, cut off his head and show it to the public, chop up his body and feed it to the dogs", the Shadow Moon King took a deep breath.

"How can you talk about your sore spots, Jiang Bingkun has given you a lot of benefits over the years, right, lackeys, the emperor will come to you sooner or later", Jiang Heng sneered.

The two sergeants were about to drag him out and behead him, when the sergeant suddenly said, "Wait."

The two sergeants paused for a moment when they heard the words of the military division, "What does the military division mean?" asked the general.

Zhang Tiancheng suddenly walked to Jiang Heng's side and carefully examined his body, and sure enough, he saw a strange mark on his chest, and he walked towards the Shadow Moon King and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Shadow Moon King's face suddenly changed greatly, and then he said calmly: "There are still murderers in this matter who have not yet been arrested, temporarily put him in prison, and after all the murderers are arrested, they will be beheaded together, although Song Yue has made a big mistake, but he has caught the culprit, he has been exempted from the death penalty, and he will be punished with a hundred military sticks and fined for one year", the Shadow Moon King changed his attention.

When everyone retreated, the Shadow Moon King said to the military advisor, "What you said is true, are you sure?"

"When you interrogated him again just now, I was thinking, why did he retaliate against us three times and twice for no reason, unless he has a blood feud with us, he will be so desperate, just now I accidentally saw the mark on his chest, I immediately understood, although he has made modifications and changes to the mark, but the unique mark of the royal family can't hide from my eyes", Zhang Tiancheng said.

"Is he really the lost crown prince Jiang Yuheng of the previous dynasty?"

"I was the deputy general of the Imperial City Guards by the side of the former emperor, and I have seen him many times when he was young, and I have also seen the imperial mark on his chest, and I can't be wrong," Zhang Tiancheng said.

"It's a little interesting, it turns out that he came for revenge, I said how could he have such a big resentment, and he didn't hesitate to provoke me to kill him, he turned out to hide his identity", the general suddenly understood.

"Leaving him behind may not be a bad thing for the general, and he may be able to become a powerful help for the general to achieve great things in the future," the military advisor meant.

"What do you say?"

"What did the First Emperor do to your Shadow Moon Family back then? What did Jiang Bingkun do now to make the Shadow Moon Family submit to his rule? You know better than all of us, maybe he can become an important pawn for the Shadow Moon King to bring down Jiang Bingkun in the future", the military advisor said what he thought in his heart.

"Bold, you will let me die without a place to bury, if your majesty's minions hear it, we will be punished by the Nine Clans", Gui Yunhai said.

"General, your Shadow Moon King is very talented, how can Jiang Bingkun be compared, he forced your father to death, and killed many important people in your family, have you forgotten your father's hatred, and stooped in front of the enemy all your life to lay an iron bucket for him? Sooner or later, one day the cunning rabbit will die, the lackeys will cook, the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden, how can Jiang Bingkun's eyes be able to accommodate the Shadow Moon King who has a high degree of merit", the military advisor said suddenly.

The hatred of the Shadow Moon family has been buried deep in his heart all these years, but in order for his family to survive, he has to swear allegiance to Jiang Bingkun and expand the territory for him, and he also understands the possible future in the future.

"But this kid is not a good stubble, he is extremely talented, how can we prevent him from hurting us?"

"The general is wrong, he and the general you don't have any grudges, his enemy is Jiang Bingkun and not your family, he is just a lost dog now, it is more difficult to take revenge than to ascend to the sky, if we can give him a clear way, he may become the general's right-hand man."

"Then what can we do to rein him and control him?"

"First lock him up for a period of time to sharpen his temperament, and declare to the outside world that he has died in yesterday's battle, I ordered someone to forge a head to hang on display, his original identity is completely dead, we give him a new identity, only one identity that belongs to you Shadow Moon King, promise to help him complete revenge, and use his former prince as the former prince to create favorable conditions for you to bring down Jiang Bingkun in the future, he will become a pawn for you, and when the plan is completed, we are getting rid of him, and the world will not be yours at that time?"

"In the future, if his identity is revealed, what if someone supports him as emperor?"

"It has been 20 years since the first emperor died, and the ministers of the court and the central government have changed a few times, who else will remember him as a prince of the dead country, when the time comes, there will be many military ministers who will add to your yellow robe, and the water will rebel against you, and the soldiers will stand on your side, who will support him if he has no power and no power", the military advisor said.

"But I'm still worried that his strength is too strong, and no one will be able to control him in the future, and when his revenge is completed, how will he deal with us?"

"Just one person wants to confront our million-strong army, even the sect masters of the Moon Worship Sect and the Tianhua Sect dare not boast of Haikou, not to mention that he has not yet reached this point."
