Chapter 998: Cao Yucang's Heavenly Curse Falls

"Boom ......"

Lightning and thunder, dark clouds, torrential rain, everything came so suddenly.

Especially outside the gate of Yong'an City, it has become the center of thunder and lightning, and Cao Yucang, who has experienced a curse, immediately understands that this is the coming of heaven.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when the curse really came, he still felt palpitations inexplicably, and in the face of the power of heaven and earth, no matter how powerful his cultivation was, it seemed so insignificant.

Without any hesitation, the monks of the three sects immediately meditated on the spot, using all their strength to resist this powerful thunderbolt attack.

All of them seemed to be experiencing a catastrophe, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

It's a pity that this is not a tribulation, but a curse, and the power of this thunder and lightning is far stronger than the kind of thunder and lightning encountered during the tribulation.

The monk armies of the three sects stood together, the people of Wanxiu Mountain led by Cao Yucang stood in the middle, and the monk armies of Yunfeng and Liupo Mountain were on both sides.

When the thunder and lightning struck, the location of Wanxiu Mountain was the most centered, and Cao Yucang's people bore the brunt of the thunder and lightning, and the ones of Yunfeng and Liupo Mountain were relatively weaker.

One after another, thunder and lightning kept hitting the army of monks sitting cross-legged in this camp, letting out one miserable cry after another, and then falling down one by one.

The first to fall were those masters of the Tribulation Period, who suffered the baptism of thunder and lightning for the first time, and had little ability to resist at all, followed by the masters of the Earth Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they could resist for a while, but after more than twenty thunderbolts, they also began to fall one after another.

Cao Yucang has the cultivation of Da Luo Jin Immortal, and he has been supporting until after thirty-six thunderbolts, but he was only seriously injured, but he did not die immediately, but he can continue to support it.

When the thirty-six thunderbolts finally ended, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief with deep relief, feeling that he had finally survived.

He deeply remembered that the last time the curse was thirty-six thunderbolts, and Yan Hongzheng also became a survivor of the curse.

However, just as he was relieved, the thirty-seventh lightning bolt pierced the sky and struck again, followed by an explosion of thunder, which shook him a little distracted.

More than thirty-six thunderbolts?

Cao Yucang immediately had a desperate mood,

Resisting thirty-six thunderbolts had already exhausted his cultivation, and he was about to reach the limit of what he could bear, and if the thunder and lightning continued to strike, it would be difficult for him to hold on.

The thunder and lightning did not mean to stop, it seemed that this time he was even more angry, and when Cao Yucang insisted on the forty-second thunder and lightning, he finally lost his soul and lost his life.

The thunder and lightning did not stop there, but when it came to the forty-eighth path, it finally stopped completely.

After a while, the dark clouds dispersed, and the rain cleared the sky, but the day was approaching dusk.

The last rays of the sun shone outside Yong'an City, and there were corpses everywhere, except for the soldiers who died in battle, that is, the monk army that had just suffered the curse of heaven.

The monk armies of the three sects had all suffered heavy losses, the most serious of which was Wanxiu Mountain, which had almost been wiped out.

And because Yunfeng and Liupo Mountain are not in the center of the thunder and lightning intensity, there are about 1,000 people left in each gang, which can be regarded as heavy casualties.

However, those who can persevere are all people who have cultivated well, but after experiencing the curse of heaven, almost all of them are seriously injured.

Qu Yunyang led the people of the Demon Realm to quickly rescue the people of the three sects to Yong'an City and settle down temporarily.

The two million army of the Xiyu Kingdom, when Wu Changkong died in battle, there were only about 300,000 left, and with Wu Changkong's death, they became prisoners of the Demon Realm army.

After all, Yong'an City has become the base camp of the Demon Realm again.

After the thunderstorm, Qu Yunyang blocked the news of the damnation, and then gathered all the remnants of his army and held on to a lonely city.

At this time, Mu Qianmei had already retreated to Lingzhou City and temporarily lived in the City Lord's Mansion in Lingzhou City.

Returning to Lingzhou City with her, there were also Liu Tingfeng, the generalissimo of Zhengxi, and Mo Xiao, the lord of Lingyun Pavilion.

Others were scattered to other cities.

When night fell, Mu Qianmei summoned the three core figures to the city lord's mansion in Lingzhou City, namely Liu Tingfeng, Jun Moxiao and Shangguan Qingsleeve.

Although Shangguan Qingsleeve is the city lord of Lingzhou City, it is Mu Qianmei who is sitting on the main seat at the moment, and after she asked the three of them to sit down, she said slowly:

"I just received the news that Yong'an City has been lost, General Wu Changkong has died, and we have lost a great general and two million soldiers!"

There was a deep sadness in his tone.

Liu Tingfeng also said sadly:

"General Wu insisted on guarding Yong'an City, and the Demon Realm army had more than 10,000 monk troops, and we were powerless to rescue, at that time, there was no way back to go as much as we went."

Jun Mo smiled and said quietly:

"This is a deliberate choice he made, and we are powerless to change it, presumably in the last battle, they also eliminated a lot of demon armies."

Shangguan sat silently with light sleeves and did not speak, she sat respectfully opposite Mu Qianmei, looking down with her eyes down, not daring to look directly at Mu Qianmei, but she couldn't help but look at this legendary queen with her afterglow.

As a woman, and as the lord of a city, she naturally understands that it is not easy for a woman to be in a high position, but Mu Qianmei has done it so handily, which makes her admire.

She often felt exhausted and troubled when dealing with the affairs of a city, but now that she is a big family of five countries, there are tens of thousands of cities, large and small, how much will happen every day?

Above the court, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and there are many talents, how can everyone be willing to surrender?

Thinking that this Mu Tianwang was not yet twenty years old, Shangguan Qingsleeve was even more unimaginable, how he did all this.

After listening to Liu Tingfeng and Jun Moxiao's words, Mu Qianmei pondered for a long time before she said slowly:

"According to the latest information, due to the help of the Monk Army in the Demon Realm army, their casualties were slightly lower, with about one and a half million casualties, while we suffered one hundred and seven thousand casualties, and 300,000 troops became prisoners."

"When night fell, there was a rain and storm over there, lightning and thunder, it is said that it was a curse, I don't know how many casualties were caused, there is no specific news for the time being."

Jun Mo smiled and replied after thinking about it:

"I counted carefully just now, there are a total of forty-eight thunderbolts, twelve more than the last Heavenly Curse, based on this calculation, the monk army of those three sects must have suffered heavy casualties."

After a pause, he continued with regret:

"It's a pity that the Kunlun faction is gone, otherwise this is a good opportunity to attack!"

Liu Tingfeng also said regretfully:

"Yes, the current army of the Demon Realm must be less than five million, if there are people from the Kunlun Sect to resist the monk army, we will be able to settle the battle in one battle."

Mu Qianmei looked at Jun Mo and asked with a smile:

"How many monks do we have now?"

Jun Mo smiled and groaned slightly, and then replied:

"In terms of numbers, we still have six thousand left, but there are only less than two hundred cultivators above the Tribulation Period, and we don't have an advantage at all against them!"

Mu Qianmei muttered:

"I just don't know how many monk troops they have left, and what is the extent of the remaining monk army injured in the curse?"

Jun Mo smiled and guessed:

"They have three monk armies, among which Wan Xiushan is the main force, and they must have suffered the most from the curse, and the other two sects will probably be lighter."

"However, the people who can survive the Heavenly Curse, their cultivation is relatively high, presumably they are all above the Earth Immortal Realm, even if there are only one or two thousand left, then we can't shake it."

Mu Qianmei looked at Shangguan Qingsleeve and asked:

"Can we still find out the specifics over there?"

Shangguan thought for a moment and replied softly:

"Now that Yong'an City has been completely controlled by the Demon Realm, it is difficult for us to find out the detailed news, and the news we received before was the news that someone escaped and brought back when they were not yet fully controlled."

"This kind of thing, presumably they will also find a way to block the news and prevent us from finding out."

After a pause, Shangguan Qingsleeve continued:

"If you want to find out, in fact, there is another way, that is, to send a visiting delegation to negotiate, the two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill the envoys, you may be able to find out some news."

Mu Qianmei thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"This is indeed a good way, in fact, there are still our secret agents in Yong'an City, as long as our people can enter, once contacted, they can bring back some important news that we don't know."

"But who's going to visit?"

This kind of negotiation sent important people over, afraid of encountering danger, after all, the two sides are still in a state of battle, if there is a chance, they will not kill at that time, but once they get out of Yong'an City, with their existing masters, it is easy to assassinate outside Yong'an City.

However, sending someone of too low status appears to be insincere.

Shangguan looked at Jun Moxiao with light sleeves, and then looked at Liu Tingfeng, feeling that these two people were very important people, so he had to take the initiative to ask:

"Weichen is willing to take a trip, no matter how I say it, I know the Demon Venerable Qu Yunyang, and I am not important enough to be worthy of his assassination, he will probably be willing to see me!"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qianmei nodded:

"Then it's troublesome for the Shangguan City Lord to go."

"When negotiating, it is best if you can persuade to surrender, if the persuasion is not successful, then try to let them release the seized soldiers of the Xiyu Kingdom, if you can exchange it for spirit stones, you can exchange it for spirit stones, even if it is proposed to exchange it for the small cities around Yong'an City, we will exchange people back first."

Liu Tingfeng guessed and said:

"I estimate that Qu Yunyang will probably put forward a request for land division and signing an armistice agreement, the general trend is gone, if there is a land belonging to the Demon Realm, and there can be a permanent truce, they can become an independent country and continue to exist with us."

Jun Moxiao also nodded and said:

"I also think he's going to put it on that condition, because that's probably the two things he needs the most right now."

Mu Qianmei thought for a moment, then said in a firm tone:

"We must not agree to such conditions!"
