Xia Sheng chose to go to the south, of course, there was a very good reason, because Mu Chenyi was there, Ye Shuai's corpse was there, the demon clan was there, and Mo Yuan was also there.

To this day, Xia Sheng still doesn't know why Mo Yuan betrayed the human race, let alone whether Ye Shuai's death has anything to do with it, he must figure this matter out.

Of course, more importantly, he needs to stop the demon people from continuing to advance north.

If he wants to do this, he can't do it alone.

But Mu Chenyi can do it.

In addition, the second saint-level powerhouse that appeared in the demon clan also made Xia Sheng very concerned, in the dark, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was not sure of defeating the other party.

But maybe Pei Xu and Yang Tianxiao, who were seriously injured, teamed up to have this certainty.

This time she went south, of course Ye Xiao'e had to follow, but this time, Xia Sheng had no reason to dissuade her, after all, her father died in Nanchuan.

Qin Yan learned the news of Qin Xiaohua's return from Xia Sheng's mouth, and the burden in her heart was suddenly relieved of more than half, and now that the situation in the capital has been decided, the most important and perhaps the most thrilling battle for Xia Sheng, she abandoned the advice of the good people and resolutely left with Xia Sheng.

Naturally, there were Ning Zheng and Bi Qingwen, and Xia Sheng also sent a message to Pei Yuan thousands of miles away, hoping that the two sides would meet in Xiucheng.

Although the grassland people are overwhelmed, at least the main force of the Zhennan Army will drag on for a few days, and the barbarians have been defeated, and the thorn army and the teachers and students of the Spring and Autumn Academy can also free up their hands to intercept the grassland people.

What's more, Bai Qiu also chose to go to the west, and Xia Sheng believed that even if the dean of the Spring and Autumn Academy was defeated by Nalan Ruoxue, he would at least have the means to entangle with him.

So now the biggest threat to Dajin, and at the same time the most critical, has become the army of demon clans in the south.

Therefore, Xia Sheng used almost all of his energy on this trip, if it weren't for the fact that Nan Sirong, the leader of the Seventy-two Alliance, and the masters of several other major sects were all buried in Changbai Mountain, causing the current Seventy-two Alliances to fall apart and scatter, in fact, the cultivators in these major sects were the most powerful weapons in Xia Sheng's hands.

Xia Sheng lost Nan Sirong, the most solid ally, and lost the biggest voice in the Seventy-two Alliance, and now the only way to control the Seventy-two Alliance is to rely on the imperial court.

With Zhao Chen here, Xia Sheng is not particularly worried about this, but it takes time, and what he needs to fight for most when he goes south this time is time.

Therefore, Xia Sheng simply did not contact the people of the Seventy-two Alliance, but went directly to Xiucheng.

According to the latest information from the Heavenly Star Academy, it seems that the demon army has not completely crossed the Shuo River until now, perhaps because of the disappearance of the Demon Emperor, or because of some other accident on their way north, but in short, this is good news for Xia Sheng.

When Xia Sheng and his party rushed to Xiucheng on Shantang's flying horse, they didn't encounter a single demon clansman, and they were greeted by an old man with a long sword.

Xia Sheng took the first step, came to the old man to salute, and said respectfully: "Teacher." ”

Pei Yuan waved his hand with a big grin, pouted his lips with some dissatisfaction, and said: "You guys are too slow, if the demon clan really has the heart to fight, I'm afraid that Xiucheng has already become a ruin." ”

Xia Sheng didn't care about Pei Yuan's complaints, but was more interested in the deep meaning of his words.

"What's going on with the demon people right now?"

Pei Yuan spread his hands: "What else can it be, I can only say that the princess of the demon clan does have two brushes, and she won't fight when she hits Shuohe." ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng was suddenly shocked, and said in a deep voice: "It's really a good method." ”

The demon army came in a mighty way, successively defeating the vanguard of the Thorn Army led by Ye Shuai, as well as the reinforcements of the Heavenly Star Academy, but did not continue to go north, but stopped at the Shuo River.

This matter seems unreasonable at first glance, but it is actually Ziling's most wise decision.

In this way, the demon people are not ready to swallow the entire Dajin Dynasty in one go, but are ready to fight a protracted war with the human race.

And the reason why they chose the Shuo River as the dividing line is, of course, because the demon people are good at water, once they occupy the Shuo River valley on all fronts, if the human army wants to counterattack back, I am afraid it will be really difficult to enter the sky!

To put it bluntly, the Shuo River has now become the most terrifying natural danger, completely blocking the pace of the human army moving south, and also dividing the territory of the Dajin Dynasty into two.

In the water, human cultivators have no chance of winning.

I think that when Emperor Gaozong was still in power, although he recovered the thirteen counties of southern Xinjiang from the hands of the demon people, it was difficult to make an inch, because once the demon people escaped into the water of the South China Sea, they would have nowhere to be found, and they would have no power to chase them.

Now the demon army has pulled the front from the South China Sea to the Shuo River, which can advance or retreat, attack or defend, like a sharp dagger against the throat of mankind, so that the Dajin Dynasty has lost half of the country.

It is true that if the demon clan wants to completely control the southern Xinjiang, they still need to clear many obstacles, such as the Tianxing Academy, such as the Seventy-two Alliance, but with the Mo family here, there is a steady stream of demon clan powerhouses coming from the South China Sea, all of this is only a matter of time.

Xia Sheng knew that there was not much time left for him.

So he turned to Pei Yuan and asked, "It is said that there is another holy rank among the demon clansmen, have you ever seen it?"

Pei Yuan shook his head: "Before, I originally wanted to lure the princess of the demon clan over and slaughter her, it was a good thing that the holy order appeared to spoil Lao Tzu, although I couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly in a hurry, but it seems to be a girl." ”

Xia Sheng took a deep breath, and suddenly turned around and asked Qin Yan, "Is there any news from the Yaobei Army?"

Qin Yan shook his head: "Now all the channels south of the entire Shuo River have been blocked by the demon clan, and even if there is news, it can't be transmitted. ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng seemed to be a little disappointed, he knew that time was pressing, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he raised the Haoran Sword in his hand and asked Pei Xu: "How many people are there in Xiucheng now? Is it enough to fight?"

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Of course you can fight, my Pei family has two hundred good players, the Han family has also come with almost two hundred people, my grandfather has brought all the qi in Changbai Mountain, plus some remnants of the Tianxing Academy, counting seventy-seven eighty-eight, there are almost more than two thousand people in total." ”

Xia Sheng nodded: "That's enough, sir, you gather everyone first, I'll go to see the Sword Saint, this battle is not for a big victory, but for a battle to destroy the top strength of the demon clan, so that the morale of the army is in turmoil! ”

Pei Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "Who?"

Xia Sheng smiled and let the old man behind him to the front, and introduced to Pei Yuan: "This is my brother, the best at the way of the formation, presumably sir, you should have heard of his name, he is one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest in the past, Ying Tianwu!" (To be continued.) )
