As the rumors became more and more, and the number of people in Xia Fan's territory changed every day, it really made the people in Xia Fan's territory stunned when they heard it. Some timid people began to lose faith and chose to flee.

Even some of the officials of the former Blue Jade Kingdom, who had originally returned to Xia Fan's side, listened to the rumors, or began to slack off, or simply fled with their families.

In such a situation, although Xia Fan was not anxious, he also felt quite bad, and many things could not be resolved by relying on his personal strength, what he could do was to find ways to send people to arrest those secret agents from the Han Dynasty, the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Divine Eyes Country and other parties and forces, and then kill them in public, one is to deter the enemy, and the other is to appease the people, so that they will not believe the rumors.

Of course, Xia Fan was quite unhappy with Liu Xingchen, the culprit who caused all this, but he did not take the liberty of starting a war with him, because the current situation is really not optimistic, and if he rushes out troops, he will only fall into Liu Xingchen's trap. He was waiting for an opportunity, and then gave Liu Xingchen a ruthless counterattack. At the same time, he will not let go of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Divine Eye Country, and other small countries that want to take this opportunity to completely mess up his territory.

Shenmu Country, Xuantian Cliff.

This is a steep cliff located in a vast quagmire, towering into the clouds, more than 5,000 zhang, the strange rocks on the cliff wall are craggy, like a knife like a sword, it is not ordinary people can climb up at all, plus the radius of thousands of miles is a hundred zhang of muddy water, overgrown with countless reeds, moss, artemisia grass, water pine, willow, all kinds of long vines, and all kinds of poisonous insects, rats and ants, strange snakes and beasts wandering among them, these are already very dangerous, there are all kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds and the poisonous miasma formed after the fallen leaves of plants and trees fall into the water and rot, making this place almost uninhabited Jedi。

However, on top of this Xuantian Cliff, there are very gorgeous palaces built, compared with the treacherous and sinister environment around them, this splendid palace is really very conspicuous, and it has a kind of condescending, overbearing momentum looking down on all beings.

This is the dojo of Hetian Dao, and it is also the lair of Hetian Ancestor.

Because Hetian Ancestor has a strange personality, moodiness, and a thirst for killing, even if his disciples annoy him, he will kill him, so the number of disciples of Hetian Dao is not too much. Especially after the Tianyi Shinto, Hehuan Shinto, and the poisonous crow, which were most valued by him, died one after another, this place became more and more deserted.

Today, this dojo is particularly noisy, because a powerful aura is rising from the dojo, attracting the aura of heaven and earth in all directions to converge, clouds gathering, and the wind is agitated.

As bursts of ferocious and brutal coercion spread, sweeping around, even the birds, beasts, and poisonous insects in the swamp were frightened and fled in a hurry.

This was a unique sight for cultivators when they broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, with an arrogant aura that shocked all things.

"Haha...... My Hetian Ancestor has finally broken through to the Grandmaster Realm!From now on, who dares to be arrogant in front of me?!" Wild laughter sounded from inside the palace, the sound was like thunder, hoarse and ugly, but it was extremely powerful, and the tiles on the palace crackled and shattered a lot. "Xia Fan, hmph, dare to kill my apprentice, dare to destroy my divine incarnation at the beginning, you must die!"

...............

Blue Feather Castle.

Lan Haolin stood on top of the city, watching the siege army crash against the city wall again and again like a surging tide, flickering the light of the impact of the city protection array, getting darker and darker, and his heart became colder and colder.

He had forgotten that he was guarding the head of Qingyu City this time to face such a fierce attack by the army led by Yu Kongyue, during this period, he had experienced the panic of being about to be broken into the city, and he had also experienced the joy of the reinforcements rushing over to defeat the enemy at the moment of life and death, and even when he heard the rumor that Xia Fan was too rampant, annoying the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, so that he was about to be wiped out by the army, he was even more ecstatic. Because he hated Xia Fan very much, he would be extremely happy to hear even the slightest news that he was going to be unlucky.

But soon he couldn't be happy, because it was at that time that Yukong Yue began to launch an endless attack on Qingyu City as if he had gone crazy. Such an attack made the defenders of Qingyu City almost unbearable.

You must know that the army under the command of Yu Kong Yue is not an ordinary army, even if a lot of weak ordinary soldiers were added when it was expanded later, but there are still quite a lot of elite soldiers who have really experienced many fierce battles, and their strength is generally not low, at least it is also a foundation building realm.

For cultivators, the strength of the Foundation Building Realm is really not very high, but for the average big head soldier, this is not very bad, especially for the general army where people in the Qi Induction Realm can be a ten-captain, the strength of the vast majority of the soldiers in the Yukong Moon is generally in the base building realm, and the army is definitely elite and can not be more elite, at least the strength is enough to be a step higher.

Because of this, in addition to trying to force the city by relying on numbers when attacking the city at first, Yukong Yue later realized that the casualties were too serious, so he changed his method and began to order the army to form a military formation to repeatedly attack Qingyu Castle.

This process is not only to siege the city, but also to train the soldiers, through such almost brutal battles to hone the courage and courage of the soldiers in the army, and finally give birth to the most precious military soul of the army.

In this way, although there are still a lot of casualties, they are within the acceptable range of Yukong Yue, and the overall strength of the soldiers and horses under her command has also been greatly improved after being tempered by such a fierce battle.

Whether it was Lan Haolin or the generals of the reinforcements sent by the Divine Eyes Country, they could actually see that Yu Kongyue was using them as whetstones to train their troops, but they could only watch it dry and had no way at all, which made them want to go crazy in frustration. The reason is very simple, they do not have an advantage in numbers, and at the same time, they are the defenders, and all they can rely on is Qingyu City, which is their advantage and also restricts their actions, so that they have no way or the courage to open the city gate to fight head-on with the army of the Sky Moon.

First, because Qingyu City was built on Qingyu Mountain after all, and the terrain was certainly dangerous, but there was no place for thousands of troops to spread out for field battles, which meant that even if Lan Haolin and the others wanted to go out of the city to fight against the army of Yukong Yue. Second, the war has reached this point, whether it is the remnants of the army in Lan Haolin's hands or the reinforcements from the Divine Eyes Kingdom, they are all quite tired.

In such a situation, no one dared to guarantee that if they really went out, they would be directly defeated and collapsed by the army of Yukong Moon before the war began.

It is true that the reinforcements from the Divine Eyes Country are all elite, but no matter how elite they are, it is impossible to be tireless and always have high morale. Especially after the endless and tragic siege battles before, even an iron man will be tired. Until now, they were able to stand on the head of the city to deal with enemy attacks, and in fact they were worthy of their title of elite.

"Could it be that my Wang Tu hegemony is going to end like this?!" Lan Haolin looked at the neatly arranged and amazing military formation under the city, and the frustration and despair in his heart became more and more intense.

He could see that these military formations had made radical progress compared to before, and even the evil qi surging above the military formations had already made it look like they were about to condense the military soul. This made him shocked and jealous, and at the same time quite helpless.

At the beginning, his subordinates also had such an army, but unfortunately they were destroyed by Xia Fan. Since then, his army has become smaller and smaller, bigger and worse, until now he is forced to stick to the point of sticking to this small Qingyu City.

"Xia Fan, you should be damned!" Thinking of Xia Fan, the culprit who caused all this, Lan Haolin's eyes surged with unprecedented monstrous hatred, and with the strength of his right hand, he actually scratched a piece of bluestone on the head of the city.

"Hum ......" At this moment, Lan Haolin suddenly felt that a magic weapon he had placed in his arms vibrate, and rays of light burst out from it.

This is a magic weapon that has been refined and specially used for remote communication, which can originally be used to contact Hetian Ancestor, but later Hehuan Shinto, after the death of the poisonous crow, this magic weapon can no longer be used, because Lan Haolin has called Hetian Ancestor, the titular national teacher, several times to ask him to help him, but he has never been able to get a response.

"Could it be ......" When he picked up this magic weapon, Lan Haolin was still slightly stunned, and then he became excited, and after sending the mana into it, he said: "National teacher, you finally have a response......

"The lord of the country does not need to panic, this ancestor has been in retreat and cultivation some time ago, and now he has broken through to the realm of the grandmaster, just Xia Fan can be killed at will, with the help of this ancestor, the restoration of the country lord is a trivial matter, where are you now, this ancestor will go to see you." "Hetian Ancestor came over with a bit of arrogant laughter, and there was a kind of Grandmaster Realm strength in his body, and there was no one in the world to defeat him.

"Xia Fan, he ......" Lan Haolin originally wanted to say that Xia Fan's strength had skyrocketed recently, and he heard that he had killed two Grandmaster Realm powerhouses, and it was not the kind of soft persimmon that you could pinch at will, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back and said: "I am in Qingyu City, and I am fighting fiercely with Xia Fan's army, waiting for the arrival of the national teacher to help me." ”

"Wait, Ben Ancestor will be here soon. At this point, the light on the magic weapon disappeared, and there was no longer the voice of the Hetian Ancestor.

"Grandmaster Realm!I don't know if it can do it against that guy Shang Xia Fan?!" Lan Haolin put away the magic weapon and looked into the distance, but he really didn't have much confidence in Hetian Ancestor.

Although he was trapped in Qingyu City, he could still occasionally hear some news, so he knew that Xia Fan had shined in the battle of the Three Sects and Four Sects, and he also knew that he had a fierce battle with the Grandmaster Realm powerhouses in the Golden Light City of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and his own Baishi City not long ago, and then the two Grandmaster Realm powerhouses were silent, and they must have died in his hands.

Lan Haolin didn't know Xia Fan's true strength now, but he estimated that he had to be at least the Grandmaster Realm. The thought that his enemy now had such a powerful strength, Lan Haolin's heart was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. However, for him, Hetian Ancestor broke through to the Grandmaster Realm and was willing to come to help in the battle, after all, it was a good thing, at least it could boost morale.
