Chu Helian stood at the bottom of the city gate, although the soldiers guarding the city brought him a chair, but he didn't have the slightest intention to sit down, he almost didn't sleep all night, for a mortal of his age, he should have been exhausted at this time, but he was unexpectedly very energetic, he held the city wall with one hand, looking up at the monk battle in the distance, in his decades of court career, he has also seen many monk fights, but none of them can be compared with this moment.

The battle between the two Huyi monks on the heavenly dome was already white-hot, he couldn't see their figures, he could only see the incomparable sword qi, and the flames that erupted from time to time, the Baoyi female cultivator seemed to be very good at fire path spells, and the flames would occasionally fall from the sky, causing a fire in the forest in the distance.

In normal times, he would have arranged for someone to extinguish the flames, but now he didn't have the slightest intention of caring about it, and looked at this battle that he couldn't understand wholeheartedly.

There are groups of soldiers running over the city wall, they will carry a large number of materials on the city wall, the bow and crossbow that have not been used for many years are re-drawn with strings, one by one the long crossbow arrows are aimed at the sky, the spirit pattern on the tail flickering with a cold light, these soldiers who control the crossbow are actually very nervous, after all, Dayue has not experienced war for many years, these soldiers are actually on the battlefield for the first time, and the opponent is these monks flying around in the sky, and anyone will be a little panicked.

The monks of the traditional school are very scattered, they are scattered all over the banks of the Nanjiang River, and there is no command after launching an attack, they are fighting on their own, their primary target is the monks of Tianji Pavilion and the Wei family, relying on the geographical advantage and many people, they have the upper hand for a while, but the monks of Tianji Pavilion have also been prepared for a long time, and they gathered together, although they were pressed and beaten, but they were not in danger of collapsing.

There are also many people in the traditional school who are also fighting the idea of the keel, but this keel is half sunk in the water, half suspended in the air, two monks hugging a monk on the keel to fight over, trying to fight for the control of the keel, these monks looked at it for a while, most of them were worried that they were involved in a big battle, and retreated for the time being, and a small number of people were not afraid, and rushed forward with courage, wanting to take off a small keel, but I don't know which monk was holding a monk A divine sense swept in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, these people vomited blood and flew upside down.

Some traditionalists had nothing to do and began to set their sights on Nanjiang City.

The first to strike is the monk of Worm Ridge, this sect is also very old in the traditional sect, and the Soul Refining Sect is on an equal footing, and now the traditional faction is three-legged, Soul Refining Sect, Worm Ridge, Sacrifice God Sect, the strength of the three sects is similar, if there is a big event, the three generally discuss it, if there is a difference of opinion, then fight a fight, and respect the winner, but in recent years, the strength of the Soul Refining Sect is slightly stronger, and there is a faint trend of dominance.

The Worm Ridge monks are good at controlling insects, and they also like to cultivate all kinds of spirit insects, and they are the most feared among the traditional monks, even those who like living sacrifices are not as infamous as their notoriety.

This is because their spirit insects are too scary, and the second is because these guys are especially fond of poisonous insects.

In the impression of mortals and ordinary monks, insects are mostly small things, small like ants, which can be pressed to death with one finger, and large ones are only the size of the palm of a hand, compared to people, they are small after all.

But the spirit insects of the Worm Ridge monk's envoy can even be the size of half a city, in their sect, half-human tall spiders, hornets with large human heads, and ants with large palms, these can be seen everywhere, they also often feed the spirit insects with elixirs and the blood of other creatures, so that their bloodlines mutate and turn into unique insects, most of which are extremely terrifying, it is said that in the great war seven thousand years ago, the suzerain of Worm Ridge summoned a city-sized beetle, with spikes on its back, and a terrifying head full of whiskers, three huge compound eyes that were spinning around, flashing with colorful light inside, and the venom that spewed out could not even be carried by the Tianyuan Great Demon, that is, in that great battle, the Worm Ridge Monk became famous in all directions, not only leaving a deep impression on the demon clan, but also scaring his own people.

And the person who attacked the Xingyue Sect not long ago had a lot to do with Worm Ridge.

Although Tianji Pavilion thinks that it is not the cultivators of the Worm Ridge Sect who made the move, most of them are also people from the affiliated sects of the Worm Ridge, and like the Soul Refining Sect, the Worm Ridge has already had hundreds of sects after many splits, and they all have the same exercises and secret techniques, it is difficult to judge which one did it.

The grievances between Worm Ridge and Xingyue Sect actually go back thousands of years ago, and it is simply a piece of unclear history, and the two sides have been constantly killing and retaliating in the past thousands of years, and they have suffered losses, so the current Worm Ridge Sect is very hostile to Xingyue Sect.

When the Worm Ridge monk made a move, the scene was not gorgeous, but it was terrifying.

Chu Helian didn't notice the enemy's attack at first, he just heard a dense buzzing sound, at first he thought it was a monk's spell, but soon felt that it was wrong, he looked around, still didn't find anything abnormal, or a few soldiers shouted in panic, so they found the enemy's location.

Under the city wall, I don't know when a dense group of black insects has gathered, they are flying in the air, like a black cloud, attached to the barrier of the city protection array, eating and biting quickly, the squeaking sound makes people goosebumps suddenly, shuddering.

"Pour oil!" Zhao Zhen shouted.

The soldiers on the southern wall immediately poured down the prepared boiling oil, and at the same time seized the opportunity to throw down a piece of talisman paper.

The rune paper burned out, the fire erupted, and the boiling oil was instantly ignited, turning into a fire dragon under the city wall, swallowing the black worm into it.

The crackling sound was very uncomfortable, and the ensuing burnt smell was even more unbearable, but what shocked Chu Helian the most was that on the edge of the cliff, suddenly a half-human tall spider climbed up, and there was a huge black worm nest on their backs, and when they appeared, pieces of black mist flew out of the worm nest and turned into a huge cloud above the city, and the humming sound was deafening, and even the monk battle in the distance was slightly inferior to it.

Black clouds crush the city.

There were shouts, cries, and angry shouts from the city, and the soldiers in the city could no longer maintain order, for even they themselves were too frightened to move by this terrible scene.

Ignoring the fact that the city was still trembling slightly, the people ran home in a panic, closed the doors and windows, and the adults held the children firmly, looking at the layer of black insects spread on the city guard through the cracks in the windows, their faces full of horror.

"Light the beacon fire!" Chu Helian roared, and the courage in his heart suddenly surged, he pulled a few personal soldiers, personally rushed to the city gate, snatched the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and stuffed them onto the beacon tower.

The fire was raging, this was not an ordinary beacon tower, but it was directly connected to the thirty-six main cities of Da Yue.

Thousands of miles to the north, a splendid city sits at the foot of a hill, and most of its inhabitants are asleep, awakened only by a few idlers who are still spending their days drinking or soldiers patrolling the streets of the city.

They thought it was a quiet night, no different from the hundreds, thousands of nights they had spent in the past.

But suddenly, the beacon towers that had been extinguished for hundreds of years on the four city walls suddenly burst into flames, and four flames rose into the sky, crossing a brilliant arc, converging in the sky above the city, condensing into two big characters.

Nanjiang.

Soon, the mournful war drums sounded, and the lights on the streets were lit up in turn, waking up the sleeping people of the capital, whether it was the gate or the prime minister's mansion, they all hurriedly opened the door, and the disheveled generals rushed out of the mansion, stepped on the carriage, and rushed to the palace.

Each of them understands that a change is coming.
