Chapter 187: Capture the thief and capture the king first
The hill of the dragon's head is the most central place in the demon world, you can attack the Lingshan and retreat to the Qingqiu country, the north-south passage is now in our hands, and the ten witches of the Lingshan are now only left with the lord Wu Lang and the military commander Wu Peng, as well as Wu Xie and the witch ceremony responsible for the sacrifice, Wu Zhen is like a waste person after the Gu Eagle was torn to pieces by the nine infants, and the ten witches of the Lingshan who once had a high status in the demon world now exist in name only.
"Now there are only the rebels of the Spirit Mountain who are isolated in the west of the Demon Realm, when do you plan to start attacking the Spirit Mountain?" I looked at Yinyue and asked seriously.
"The Ten Witches of Lingshan were defeated in Changliu, although the indestructible Zhu Yan was still killed by the Three Witches, but if we are still too far behind in terms of strength." Yinyue said to us with a calm face. "The number and strength of the rebels gathered in Lingshan are ten times that of us, and there are also Lingshan Heavenly Trenches that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Hades Emperor and I have infiltrated Lingshan, even if we break through that thick and huge stone gate, if we want to drive straight into Lingshan, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and with our current strength, it is difficult to forcibly break into Lingshan Heavenly Trench."
Yinyue took out the mountain and sea map and put it in front of us, pointed to it and said sternly, even if you can forcibly break through the Lingshan moat, there is not much left of the demon clan alliance army, but what you have to face is dozens of times more than the rebel army, in the long stay Yinyue witnessed the bewitched Zhu Yan completely ignorant of fear and fear, there are very few spirit demons in the demon clan alliance army who can really fight except for the demon fox, I am afraid it is difficult to resist so many demon world rebels.
"The most troublesome thing is that it is very difficult for the Lingshan Heavenly Trench to advance and retreat, if it is attacked and wants to exit again, it will be even more difficult, and then the Lingshan army only needs to wait for the front and rear to attack, and it is likely that the entire demon clan alliance will be destroyed." Yinyue pointed to the map and said worriedly.
"And how are you going to deal with it?" The prince asked.
"There are two ways, the first is that the Nine Babies are fierce and incomparable, and it will first destroy the defenders of the Lingshan Trench, so that our troops will not be lost before entering the Lingshan as much as possible, and then fight to the death with the demon rebels in the Lingshan." Yinyue replied with a resolute face.
"What about two?" Yun Duruo asked calmly.
"The other is to find a way to attract the demon rebels in the Spirit Mountain to the outside of the Spirit Qi Trench, so that we don't have to be afraid of the threat of the Spirit Mountain Trench, this is the best result, but I believe it is impossible to do it." Yinyue sighed and said in a low voice. "Ping Lian told me that the demonic energy she can maintain can last for ten days at most, and after ten days, the demonic energy will begin to weaken again, and even she can't do anything, and Ping Lian and Shenmu coexist in symbiosis, she feels that Shenmu is about to die, if we can't capture Lingshan within ten days, we don't have to wait for Lingshan Ten Witches to wave their armies and the entire demon world is in danger."
"So in ten days, all the demon clans in the demon world will perish?" Yun Duruo should have asked nervously worried about Lu Wu.
"All the demon clans in the demon world rely on to survive is the demon qi, and the foundation of the demon world is destroyed when the divine tree dies, and no demon clan can be left alone." Yinyue nodded and replied gloomily.
"Actually, there is another way." I was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to someone else.
"What's the solution?" Yinyue asked.
I walked back and forth a few steps and said my thoughts thoughtfully, although the Lingshan army is far superior in number and strength to us, but the nine-tailed demon fox and the nine babies are on our side among the twelve ancestral demons, and I have seen the witchcraft of Wu Yi for a long time, and he is second only to Wu Xian in the ten witches of Lingshan, but the end is that he is vulnerable in front of the nine infants.
Presumably the other ten witches are not worth mentioning, although the number of the army is not as good as the Lingshan rebels, but if you count me and the prince and Yun Duruo, how to see that we are above the Lingshan Ten Witches, the most tricky thing is the Lingqi Trench, we only have the last ten days left, we are afraid that the Lingshan Ten Witches will avoid the enemy and delay the time, although we are weak in numbers, but if we really fight, we may not be able to win.
But our real opponent may not be the Ten Witches of Lingshan and the rebels of the Demon Realm, the one who controls everything in Lingshan is the mysterious cloak from beginning to end, until now we don't know the strength of this cloak, and we can also see the clues from a few points, the Ten Witches of Lingshan clearly know that there are Hades, Demon Two Emperors and Nine-Tailed Demon Foxes who returned to the Demon World this time, but the Ten Witches of Lingshan are not afraid at all, but in the Lingshan Hall, Yinyue and I have seen with our own eyes how the Ten Witches are in awe of the cloak.
The Ten Witches of Lingshan are thoughtful, since the rebel Demon Emperor must have the support they think is appropriate, presumably in the eyes of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, the strong are respected, so it is not difficult to see from their actions that the cloak in their hearts is far stronger than us.
Another thing is that when I first arrived at the Demon Realm, the cloak could imprison the four Yin Kings, and in Lingshan, I injured the Nine Babies and almost killed them, and I asked myself that I can now injure the Nine Babies with one hit, and it is obvious that the cloak is indeed far more powerful than us.
"Our only chance of victory is to gather the strength of a few of us to defeat the Lingshan rebels, but if we are defeated by the cloak, the demon clan alliance that follows the battle will inevitably be easily wiped out, so the top priority we need to think about is not how to defeat the rebels of Lingshan, but how to deal with that mysterious cloak." I finished my thoughts in one sitting.
"Since that cloak is the Demon Emperor's minions, I have seen the Demon Emperor's divine power to cover the sky with one hand during the God and Demon Tribulation, just a Mi Ziqi makes us powerless now, not to mention the minions sent by the Demon Emperor, it is not easy to defeat." Yinyue shook her head worriedly and said.
"I forgot to tell you about this, that cloak may not be a minion sent by the Demon Emperor." The prince and I glanced at each other and told Yinyue what I had confirmed from Lu Wu.
"People of the Divine Realm?!" Yinyue was dumbfounded when she heard this, the same reaction we had when we heard the news before. "How could the Heavenly Realm God Emperor ......?"
Yinyue frowned halfway through speaking, walked back and forth a few steps, muttering thoughtfully, Bai Ze couldn't perceive the origin of the cloak in Weilong Mountain, it can be seen that this cloak has the ability to control the ancient divine power from the sky and the sea, the five ancient god emperors have not yet come into the world, and the human emperor Yingzheng is still waiting for us to help him be reborn, if the demon emperor is still sealed at the bottom of the underworld as expected, the only one left who can have the feelings that Bai Ze can't perceive is the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Yinyue tells us that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is the first god of ancient times, one of the five great god emperors of ancient times, and became the most powerful god emperor after the god and demon catastrophe, to be precise, he should also be the biggest beneficiary of the god and demon catastrophe, and divide the three realms into the world.
"Donghuang Taiyi has long been respected by the Three Realms, although he has not been able to emulate the Demon Emperor and the Five Realms to unify, but the two worlds of the underworld and the demon are not within the Three Realms at all, it stands to reason that he is already satisfied, why would he instigate the Ten Witches of Lingshan and the Demon Realm?" Yinyue shook her head in confusion and said to us. "If Qi Ziqi can still understand that it is to release the sealed Demon Emperor, then what is the purpose of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi doing these things, and what is the benefit of destroying the Demon Realm to the Heavenly Realm God Emperor?"
We have been thinking about this question until late at night and can't think of a reasonable reason, Yinyue sighed heavily, it should have sensed the seriousness of the situation, and asked me sincerely.
"Before, the Hades Emperor said that there is another way to break through the Spirit Mountain, I don't know what it is?"
"It's a bit bold, and it's a bit risky, to be cautious." I looked at the others and walked to the mountain and sea chart and said calmly. "This Lingshan moat is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the army has become the target of everyone, and every move is in the detection of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, I have thought of an extremely risky method."
"What's the solution?" The prince asked.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" I watched as the army pointed its finger on the spiritual mountain of the mountain and sea chart.
"What do you mean...... "The prince should have reacted quickly." Let's defeat that mysterious cloak first?! ”
I nodded and pointed to the mountain and sea map and said seriously, whether it is the ten witches of Lingshan or those rebels who are ten times our size, after all, they are just puppets manipulated by cloaks, according to the current situation, it is the ten witches of Lingshan who come forward to command the rebels of the demon clan, and the cloak only controls the ten witches of Lingshan behind their backs.
The witchcraft of the Ten Witches of Lingshan is easy for us to deal with, if we can defeat the cloak, then the demon rebel group of dragons can win without a fight, of course, this is the best result, but if we are defeated in the hands of the cloak in Lingshan, it is equivalent to losing the only hope of the demon world.
"This method can not only prevent the demon clan from suffering too many casualties, but also calm the disaster in the shortest possible time, but this is a gamble, if the bet is lost, the demon world and our lives are hanging by a thread." I say it solemnly.
Yinyue and the prince and Yun Duruo glanced at each other, they finally nodded very firmly, Yinyue said that the result is actually the same, if you can capture Lingshan, you must eventually defeat the cloak, but at that time, I am afraid that the demon clan that followed her will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and there are few left, and her attack on Lingshan is also to protect the demon world from poison, if you want to kill and injure so many demon clans in exchange for peace, it doesn't make much sense.
It's better to capture the thief and capture the king first, sneak into the spiritual mountain and the cloak to fight for life and death, if you win the chaos of the demon world, it will be calmed, and if you lose to the cloak, the result will not be anywhere, after all, if you can't recover the Shenmu after ten days, all beings in the demon world will die.
"The Lingshan Trench is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I specially sent the Demon Fox to carefully investigate in the Lingshan Mountain Range, originally I planned to find a way to cross the Lingshan Trench, so that before the war was launched, the Demon Fox would assist the Nine Babies to destroy the defenders above." Yinyue pointed to a place on the map of mountains and seas and said to us. "The emperor lives up to his wishes, in a place called Qiuru near the north, the demon fox found an extremely rugged mountain road, although it is steep and steep but can be climbed, but it is not suitable for the army to be easily detected, I thought about using the nine babies to consider that the nine babies are huge and easy to find, so if you want to sneak into the Lingshan Mountain, you must cross the Lingshan moat from this mountain road with your bare hands."
