Chapter 317
In addition, the army of the barbarians is indeed quite a lot, but the discipline is too poor, the combat quality is too low, except for bravery, it is worthless, but bravery has a fart use, simple bravery, it is no different from sending death on the battlefield.
Of course, it seems that the barbarians are useless at all, but in fact, they are not, there are many things that the barbarians can do, but they are not in line with the main position of the Destruction Divine Sword Peak.
Therefore, Wei Jiyuan must find another powerful helper, or use it, because for the sake of insurance, the barbarian can only be used as the second choice and reserve force in his heart.
And the ultimate power he needs is naturally the Demon Clan of Mourning Dust.
Ai Chen controls King Cheng's army of 100,000, which is quite sufficient in terms of numbers, even if he forcibly breaks through the Zhongzhou Pass of the Qingxiao Emperor, there is a certain possibility that he will directly hit the foot of Shenjian Peak.
In addition, it is the strong personal strength of Wai Chen, he has the ability to fight with Emperor Qingxiao, although he still fell behind in the end, but it is undeniable that it was just a small fight at that time, if he really risked his life to put it right, even if Emperor Qingxiao finally killed Wai Chen, Wai Chen will never make Emperor Qingxiao feel good.
Finally, and most importantly, that is the power behind Mourning.
This has already involved outside the galaxy, the force where Mourning is located is the Star Pole Palace, whether this Star Pole Hall is the lair of the Holy Clan, or just a branch of the Holy Clan, Li Xunlian doesn't know, and Wei Jiyuan shouldn't know either.
But both of them understood that the strength of the Star Pole Hall far surpassed that of any force in Kyushu, and was even stronger than the Imperial Court and the Inn combined, which could be seen from the powerhouses of the Holy Clan, such as Wai Chen, Luo Wei, and Chi Mu Ling.
is so strong, but it is only a small leader who is sent to Kyushu to charge, so what kind of transcendent existence will stand behind him, you can figure it out with your toes.
This is definitely not an exaggeration, to say that Aichen and Luo Wei are small leaders, it sounds a bit ridiculous, so strong, and small leaders, they all dominate the demon warriors in Kyushu, so they have to be big generals.
Actually, otherwise, if you think about it carefully, how many demon warriors are there on the Kyushu continent, I'm afraid it's not even five thousand, and most of the combat power they use is the Kyushu Terran who took refuge in the past and were enslaved in the past. And Li Xunlian, the garrison of Xinghe, had been there, and he had seen with his own eyes the magnificent city in the last garrison, the tens of thousands of troops, all of which were not under the control of Wai Chen.
Why do you say that, naturally because Aichen did not mobilize an army to come over, if he has that authority, why bother to scheming, why bother to become the king?
Therefore, his status is definitely not very high among the Holy Clan, at least, not super high.
According to Li Xunlian's analysis, Mourning's status in the Star Pole Hall should be equivalent to Shenzhao, or slightly worse than Shenzhao, just an existence with a certain combat power and means, which can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches.
This kind of status, saying that he is a small leader who wronged him, is obviously not wronged.
And Wei Jiyuan wants to use this small leader to involve the huge forces and many strong people behind him. In fact, Wei Jiyuan can think of the ultimate plan very simple for Mourning Dust.
Of course, it's just the ultimate goal of him and Mourning, and no one can guess what the details are.
Not surprisingly, if things develop to the point where the demon clan can no longer form an effective blow to the Divine Sword Peak, Aichen will definitely become the steel knife in Wei Jiyuan's hand, and what method he can use in this is not something that anyone can come up with, but there is no doubt that Li Xunlian definitely has reason to believe that Wei Jiyuan has this ability, and he can make himself anti-guest-oriented, and use the Aichen who originally wanted to use him in turn to serve him.
It is worth mentioning that this service refers to following the path he has set, rather than being at his disposal.
If Wai Chen can destroy Divine Sword Peak, it is good to say that Wei Jiyuan will definitely have the next step to get rid of Wai Chen's constraints. If it were the other way around, he would definitely have the ability to make it impossible for Wai Chen to return to the Star Pole Hall alive, thus causing the high-level of the Star Pole Hall to pay attention to the Divine Sword Peak.
In any case, as long as he can firmly "control" the mourning dust and make good use of it, he will definitely increase his confidence several times in the plan to destroy the Divine Sword Peak.
Therefore, the land in the west is an excellent opportunity for Wei Jiyuan, he has a reason to give up, and he has a reason to join in.
There is also a third possibility, which is also the most terrifying one.
That is, Li Xunlian suspected that Qingming Pass had been controlled by Li Chengsheng. As a Yin Fire Living Dead, a special team that can grow infinitely and quickly without the support of any resources, Li Chengsheng's existence of the Yin Fire Living Dead has overshadowed the Demon Clan, and their threat is not weaker than the Demon Clan, and even greater than the Demon Clan to some extent.
The demon clan rules Kyushu, at worst, it is a change of ruler, a change of civilization, any invasion is to rule, and after the rule is to operate, no matter what way it is operated, whether it is tyrannical or slavery, it can still make the civilization of the Kyushu continent not completely disappear and continue slowly.
But if it was the Yin Fire Living Dead who ruled Kyushu, it would be the beginning of the fall of civilization.
They have no thoughts, no reason, no feelings, and the only idea they have is to assimilate the living body, and Li Chengsheng, as the only one of them who has spiritual intelligence, if the Yin Fire Living Dead rules Kyushu, then the Kyushu Continent will undoubtedly become a country of individuals and a world of a group of walking dead......
Thinking of this, Li Xunlian quickly walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, whether it was Li Chengsheng or his Yin Fire Living Dead who were making trouble, this matter must be investigated to clear Li, not the best, if so, but it is another matter. ΔΩ NET*.┡
Even if necessary, Li Xunlian will suspend the plan about Wei Shaoning in his hand, because in comparison, although Wei Jiyuan's plan is also very large, it does not have the threat of the Yin Fire Living Dead, because his success or failure is not a certainty, and whether the Yin Fire Living Dead succeeds or not, it can have a huge impact on the people of Kyushu.
Suddenly, the city lord's mansion appeared in front of him, this is a very majestic building, think about it, in the Qingming Pass such a border area, even if the guards are a little corrupt and pervert the law, Qingxiao Emperor will not be too responsible, a country's border is like the door of the people's homes, it must be guarded, otherwise it will not be robbed every day.
Therefore, it is not impossible to relax the policy a little in terms of border passes, such as this magnificent city lord's mansion, although the Qingming customs guard is a border general and an important member of the imperial court, but if he uses his own money and the bounty of the imperial court, I am afraid that he will not be able to build such a large mansion.
In addition, even if he has enough financial resources to decorate the façade, he does not have the courage to do so, because decorating the façade of his house is more magnificent than that of some princes' palaces, which is undoubtedly telling the people that he is a corrupt official who bends the law for bribes.
Of course, this is based on normal circumstances.
And this is not a normal situation at the moment, because the Qingming Guards have indeed done so, and they have done it very excessively. In the position where Li Xunlian stood, he didn't have to deliberately look at it, and with a little flickering of the sun, he could see the gold paint on the pillars of the porch, which was not paint, but made of full gold powder.
Dare to be so blatant, the Qingming guard will have special treatment on the imperial court's side, otherwise he would not be so flamboyant.
And such a person, an important member of the imperial court, there was no guard before the mansion?
This is strange.
The so-called abnormal things must have demons, and the problems here are definitely very big.
"I've got to go in and have a look. Li Xunlian whispered to himself, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the city lord's mansion.
The reason for this is because he didn't plan to go in rashly, he wanted to observe the neighborhood first to see if there were any clues in the details.
However, seeing this, I had to enter.
It is obviously unreasonable that a huge city lord's mansion has not even arranged guards at the gate.
It is very likely that all the people inside have been killed, and the existence that is now in charge of Qingming Pass is either Wei Jiyuan, or the Yin Fire Living Dead of the Demon Clan and Li Chengsheng.
Regarding the Yin Fire Living Dead, Li Xunlian has also done a certain understanding before, in this special group, there is only Li Chengsheng who has spiritual wisdom, he belongs to the ancestor of the Yin Fire Living Dead, and he is the existence after the mutation.
Originally, there was no such thing in the history of Kyushu, and when he was in Huangchi Town, he was "released" by mistake, Li Xunlian thought that these were not to prove Li Chengsheng's uniqueness, but to suddenly appear an extremely serious problem.
Since Li Chengsheng can become a Yin Fire Living Dead with Spiritual Intelligence because of his mutation, is there such a possibility that other Yin Fire Living Dead people also exist.
If so, then the threat of this particular group will escalate rapidly to the point where it must be eradicated immediately.
If not, then it's better, otherwise it's really easy to get out of hand. At that time, not to mention Li Xunlian, the inn, even the Imperial Court Dao Sect and the Buddha Sect are all united, and they may not be able to control them.
Pushing open the heavy door, the creaking sound broke the quiet anger, Li Xunlian held the cold howling sword in his hand, and if there was any abnormal situation, no matter what else, first poke a hole in the previous sword.
However, this situation did not come to life, and with it came a rotten smell, slightly with a fishy smell.
The smell of fish is understandable, and it is also in his expectation, because he feels that the entire mansion of the Taishou of Qingming Guan has been destroyed, and if the body is not properly disposed of after death, the corpse will smell fishy over time. And Qingmingguan Taishou was destroyed by someone, and naturally no one would collect the corpse when the door was destroyed, so it was normal to appear in such an unpleasant atmosphere.
But what is not normal, what is the smell of decay?
Has it been a long, long time since it was inhabited?
But it's not right, if the corpse is left unchecked for too long, the smell of the fish should be gone, what is going on?
At this moment, Li Xunlian even regretted killing the red-armored general when he entered the city at the beginning, if he had shown mercy to his subordinates at that time, wouldn't he have been arrested and interrogated at this time.
Subsequently, Li Xunlian carefully searched for it in the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't want to let go of any subtle clues, but it was difficult.
Because the scene has been very badly damaged, don't look at the city lord's mansion from the outside, it is still magnificent, but inside, it is already a mess, the window paper of every room is splashed with blood, and the stone slabs of each path are also left with blood marks.
One can imagine what a tragic massacre there was here at a certain point in time.
The first time was a rough search, in order to see if there were any living mouths left, the result was naturally no, during this period Li Xunlian also counted the number of people, not a lot, but it was definitely not a few, and the incomplete corpses of those stumps and broken arms were removed, there were a total of one hundred and two corpses here.
The bodies were all intact, and the reason for the death was that the neck was torn open, or it could have been bitten open, or in short, because of a fatal blow to the neck.
But tearing and biting apart are definitely not the same thing, tearing open may be some kind of cruel and tyrannical martial arts, the latter's Xuangong techniques, or it may be the Yin Fire Living Dead, and biting open, it may involve barbarians.
After a while, Li Xunlian gave up the possibility that it was the Yin Fire Living Dead who did this, because if the Yin Fire Living Dead attacked here, then what was left here should not be a corpse, but a simple blood stain, or more than a hundred walking corpses.
Therefore, the remnants here are not from the hands of the living dead of Yin Fire, so it may be the handiwork of Wei Jiyuan and the barbarians.
For by elimination, it is known that these people were either brutally tortured or bitten alive by some kind of toothy animal, and this animal must have been specially trained, otherwise it would not have been possible to bite only the neck so efficiently.
Taken together, it can be predicted that the culprit of the slaughter of Qingming Pass is the act of Wei Jiyuan and the barbarians.
Of course, there is also the possibility of other evil cultivators in the rivers and lakes, but this possibility is very small, because with Li Xunlian's understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it seems that there is no such group of cultivators in this area who dares to directly oppose the imperial court.
Maybe it's a little inaccurate to say this, but the precise point should be that you don't dare to go against the imperial court so presumptuously, run to a border checkpoint and slaughter too many guards, if this kind of thing is known by the imperial court, even if you can't draw troops and horses, you have to find a way to destroy them.
Otherwise, how can the imperial court have face, and how can Qingxiao Huang serve the public.
Therefore, it is most likely that it is Wei Jiyuan and them.
But if you think about it carefully, it's a little wrong, if it's Wei Jiyuan, why do they leave such obvious clues, this kind of very characteristic scar, as long as they are good at analyzing and understanding the current situation, they will definitely be able to put their suspicions on their heads, this is not Wei Jiyuan's style.
