Chapter 366: Yao Chi Soldiers

Zhao Xiao still didn't enter the Nine Shadows Snow Valley in the end, these days the descendants of the foreign races will be somewhat wary of the outside world, not to mention that the Nine Shadows Snow Valley is far away from the world than the Eternal Emerald Divine Tree.

In addition to confirming the situation of the Nine Shadows Snow Valley with his own eyes, Zhao Xiao's trip has now been confirmed, and he will naturally not force the other party to do anything if he reminds him of this.

As for the teaching of the method, it is not only a point of meaning, but also to facilitate the future attention of the Nine Shadows Snow Valley. It is difficult to say what the consequences of these snow descendants trying to revive their ancestors will be, and what variables will be caused to Kunlun Continent.

Zhao Huang taught the "True Yuan Purple Book" that he had summarized and created to the Nine Shadows Snow Valley, and if they cultivated it after comprehending it in the future, they would be able to sense it.

This kind of induction inherited through the Dharma lineage is also the work of the Immortal Family, not limited to whether or not they are familiar with each other, nor does they need to call their names to induce, as long as they have enlightenment in cultivation, they will form a subtle connection with Zhao Xiao.

Just like the three elders of Chiyun, even if they claim to dislike the immortal family, they are the descendants of Dongdan Yuanjun, and the connection based on the inheritance of the Dharma lineage is difficult to break.

And the "True Yuan Purple Book" is the result of Zhao Xiao's combing of all kinds of cultivation in the past over the years, combined with the perception of various immortal methods, which can be described as profound, rigorous and complete.

There is no doubt that this immortal method is based on the Lingxiao transmission, integrating the subtleties of the "Five Tibetan Chapters", "Nine Heavens Purple Wendan Chapter", "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" and other methods, and at the same time removing the chaff and retaining the essence, abandoning the complicated use of techniques, only seeking to ascend to the immortal and open up the achievements of the cave.

Zhao Xiao himself did not plan to start a sect, and for him now, the "True Yuan Purple Book" is more like what he created to commemorate the Yuqing Divine Mother and Lingxiao.

The state of mind of mending the sky with his body and sheltering all beings in Kunlun Continent, Zhao Huang can gradually understand. For him, there is no distinction between high and low beings in heaven and earth, so he does not plan to open a separate one, but he will teach it whenever he has a fate.

Leaving the northern frontier, Zhao Xiao and Lu Wangji turned to the southwest and headed towards the western soil.

The land of western Kunlun is undulating, there is no lack of high mountains, majestic and majestic people abound, and there are even many mountain ranges that stretch for thousands of miles at every turn.

However, compared with the broken and dense miasma of the southern soil, the western soil has many vast and flat places, and is nourished by rivers, and the products are not inferior to the middle earth.

However, the west soil is close to the mountains of the source of the river and the quicksand of thousands of miles, and there are hundreds of large and small Rongdi scattered there, often plundering merchants and travelers, long before the Tianxia Dynasty, there are the actions of capturing the city and slaughtering the city and cannibalism.

After the Tianxia Dynasty settled down, it sent a large army to conquer several times, and finally forced the Rong Di to retreat into the mountains and flee to the quicksand. As a result, the western soil has been stable for many years, and gradually became densely populated, and business tourism flourished.

Later, the Quartet was restless, and the Tianxia court sent generals out of the town, among which the general of Zhenxi opened the mansion and built teeth, and the authoritarian side clashed with the local wealthy clans, indiscriminately killing, and caused even more chaos.

In order to suppress the powerful clan of the Western tyrants, the general of Zhenxi at that time had begun to use gold and silk money and grain to recruit Rong Di Fan soldiers, but unexpectedly, this move became the source of the catastrophe in the future.

The king of Baixiang rose in this process, and his origin is not very clear, and it is said that he has the blood of Rong Di, and he is not a big family. In addition to the masters of the immortal family, the outside world does not know what kind of monk he is, only that after the general of Zhenxi established himself in the Yaochi Kingdom, the young Baixiang King devoted himself to accumulating military merits under his command, and he can be regarded as stepping into a high position.

Later, there was an old-fashioned drama of brothers and uncles fighting each other in Yaochi Kingdom, and the king of Baixiang relied on his strong cultivation and was favored by all parties, and he also took the opportunity to accumulate power, and after some driving the wolf, he finally succeeded in usurping the throne and dominating the party.

However, the Yaochi Kingdom was also greatly injured in this civil strife, and at that time, it happened to bump into Xuanju and waved his troops south, and the Yaochi Kingdom was also affected, and lost a lot of cities and land. King Baixiang himself was busy traveling around the country to fight, and he had no time to participate in the later battle of slaying the dragon, but was only responsible for containing part of the forces of the Xuanming Kingdom in the west.

The courage of the king of Baixiang himself is strong, and it is in this process that he gradually makes a name for himself. He is not good at governing the country, and he is not proficient in leading troops to fight, but if he himself encounters the enemy, he often takes the lead and charges ahead, and kills the enemy with his personal bravery.

After the battle of slaying the dragon, the king of Baixiang began to act on the immortal dao inheritance in the Xitu area, which was somewhat similar to Liang Tao at the other end of Kunlun Continent.

However, Liang Tao borrowed the name of the pavilion system, and at the same time made the Chongxuan Pavilion continue to grow, and it was still a little eclectic, making the Chongxuan Pavilion of the Lung Mountain become a party of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao.

The Baixiang King's practice was more of a killing and aggression, because he was dissatisfied with the very prosperous belief in the Holy Mother of Yaochi in the Western Soil, and openly ordered the destruction of the statues and shrines of the Holy Mother of Yaochi in various places.

It is a long tradition for the people of the West to believe in the Holy Mother of Yaochi, not to mention that many immortal sects respect the Immortal Mother of Yaochi and Guishan as their ancestors.

It's just that in Zhao Xiao's view, King Baixiang's move is more to target the powerful clans of the Western tyrants. He is known as the first brave warrior in Kunlun Continent, but the governance of the country is not based on bravery alone, and the strong people of the Western Tyrants are not attached, forcing the king of Baixiang to reuse Rong Di.

However, the customs of Rongdi are different from those of the western land, which has been under the king's rule for a long time, so it is inevitable that conflicts will occur frequently, ranging from weak laws and regulations, difficult to collect taxes, and civil uprisings at worst.

In addition, since the Tianxia Dynasty, the immortal road has been prosperous, and the various immortal sects in the West have been in contact with the mundane, and the red dust is deeply entangled inside and outside, and the powerful clan is far more than just sticking to the Wubao Manor, but also being blessed by the people who cultivate immortals, and they have formed a confrontation with the king of Baixiang in the open and secret.

In the end, the contradictions between the two sides were difficult to resolve, and they reached the level of fighting each other. The various sects of the Western Soil Immortal Dao have also joined forces, but the King of the Hundred Phases is very strong, it can be said that he is invincible and invincible, and none of the sects in the Western Soil is his opponent.

Since the two sides tore their faces, the king of Baixiang was no longer afraid, and simply overthrew the sects of the Western Earth Immortal Dao, leading Rong Di to kill the monks and capture the dojo.

As a result, the various sects of the Western Earth Immortal Dao collapsed, and some sects simply collapsed, even the Immortal Dao sects that were not directly hostile to the King of the Hundred Phases, such as Fengming Valley, were also affected.

In doing so, the king of Baixiang caused many monks to flee the Yaochi country directly, or turn the light into darkness, using the crowded market as a cover, and fighting guerrilla together with the powerful clans in various places.

Although no one dared to question the brave authority of the Baixiang King, but after several turbulences in the Yaochi Kingdom, the national strength was greatly weakened, although the Baixiang King was strong, but when the five countries were fighting, he was still lacking in skills, even if he had to run for his life in order to deal with various battlefields, and the domestic governance was a mess.

Although the king of Baixiang was reluctant to admit it, he eventually had to obey the general trend and recognize the local power of the powerful clans of the Western tyrants, in exchange for their allegiance and tax.

Later, King Baixiang chose to marry several women from major clans, so as to roughly control the Yaochi Kingdom, but his most trusted subordinates were still Zhurong from the mountains and quicksands of the Western Wilderness.

Before the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, the king of Baixiang had already begun to make arrangements to replace the Holy Mother of Yaochi, and asked the people of the western soil to worship themselves as gods, worship them with incense, and build temples and palaces on a large scale.

It is absurd to worship living people as gods and worship them, but the move of the King of Hundred Phases may be to better gather manpower and material resources and consolidate his authority.

However, in the battle of Dilung Mountain, the king of Baixiang was cut off his right arm by Zhao Xiao, and this matter was later known to the people of Yaochi country, which may have been caused by He Qingchen deliberately sending people to spread the news, just to shake the impression that the king of Baixiang was brave and invincible in people's hearts.

King Baixiang was cut off an arm, and he had to recuperate for many years, and when he reached the realm of his cultivation, the cut off arm was not only a physical injury, but also a heavy blow to the foundation.

In order to concentrate on cultivation, King Baixiang threw many government affairs to a few fortunate ministers promoted by himself. These fortunate ministers are not very capable of governing the country, but their ability to take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth is not small.

As a result, the state affairs became increasingly deserted, and the national taxes of Yaochi were so heavy that they could not be increased, forcing the powerful clans in various places to raise troops again.

When He Qingchen was alive, he also secretly sent people to contact these Western Tu clans, thus plunging the Yaochi Kingdom into civil strife, so as to successfully contain this powerful western neighbor.

Now that there is the Xiong Kingdom that has destroyed Jiuli and subdued the Eastern Soil, anyone can see that the next one will be to deal with the Yaochi Kingdom.

However, in the past few years, the king of Baixiang has often been unable to retreat, which gives a good opportunity for the bear country to gradually encroach westward, and some of the big clans in the west simply changed their flags, and even took the initiative to send their sons and nephews to the emperor's capital.

Three years after subduing the eastern territory, Youxiong officially began to recruit troops and horses to the west to crusade against Yaochi State, and took out the righteous name of "punishing the tyranny and pacifying Rong", which was immediately responded to by the people of Yaochi Country.

In addition, there were many Western Tu monks who fled to the country of Ura in the early years. They either wanted revenge, or they were rewarded after seeing that Chiyun was attached, and wanted to revive the sect's inheritance. Seeing that the defeat of the Yaochi Kingdom was imminent, they took this opportunity to join the army one after another.

In this way, the offensive of the Bear Country is comparable to the destruction of the withering and decaying, and some of the Western Soil Rebel Army even rushed faster than the army of the Bear Country.

Faced with such a situation, the Rongdi tribes loyal to the King of Hundred Phases also retreated. They have never had a love for their family and country in Yaochi Country, and since this land boundary cannot be defended, it is a big deal to retreat to the mountains of the Western Wilderness or the land of quicksand.

However, there are also many Rongdi tribes who are used to enjoying it, and are unwilling to abandon their wealth and flee back to the bitter cold land. After some arguments, the Rongdi tribes simply plundered on a large scale, taking away all the property and people they could take away, and set fire to the city before leaving, leaving only the bear country to occupy a scorched white land.

It's just that in this way, the Rongdi tribes have completely provoked the anger of the public, and those Western Tu clans and civil and military subordinates who took refuge in the Baixiang King in the early years have even become the first targets to be plundered and killed.

As a result, the soldiers and horses of the Xiong Kingdom had not yet entered the hinterland of the Yaochi Kingdom, and the court of the Yaochi Kingdom first broke out in internal fighting, and it was completely chaotic.

But at this time, there were still people in Yaochi who took the initiative to come forward, and that was the two sons of King Baixiang.

The king of Baixiang has many wives and concubines, but he himself likes the new and hates the old, and his wife and concubine give birth to children, but he has no intention of raising and disciplining, and turns his head to find a new love. Therefore, the children of the king of Baixiang often rely on the power of the maternal clan, and they are also those who choose to take refuge in the king of the hundred phases.

For most of the people of Yaochi Kingdom, these clans who chose to take refuge in the Baixiang King were no different from traitors, and their powerful position was completely dependent on the Baixiang King.

The king of Baixiang has been in retreat for all these years, which has made their status shaky, and now that the country is about to die, they are not even allowed to switch to the bear country, because the bear country has mentioned them in the crusade against these traitors, and they are destined to die.

Since the horizontal and vertical are dead, these big clans must have to make a last fight, they launched the two sons of the king of Baixiang, and then surrounded some of the hesitant Rongdi tribes with generous gifts, mobilized the people who can be ordered now, carried out the action of clearing the wilderness, held the pass and the city fortress, and resisted the soldiers and horses of the bear country with the help of deep ditches and high barriers.

This move really worked, and because of the rapid march at the beginning, the bear country almost did not encounter decent resistance, and it was inevitable that the enemy would be underestimated. At present, the front soldiers and horses collided with the fortified city of Yaochi Kingdom, and they were immediately hit hard, and even encountered a fierce counterattack, and the armor and horses were lost a lot.

It was precisely because of this victory that the hearts of the chaotic and turbulent people in Yaochi settled down a little, and the Rongdi tribes, who were originally clamoring to flee westward, saw this and felt that the situation had changed for the better, and there was no need to leave in a hurry.

King Baixiang himself did not have a great talent for governing the country, but his two sons were somewhat talented, and successfully persuaded several powerful Rong Di, and led the light cavalry to attack several walled cities by detour, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

However, even this cannot change the strength and weakness of the two countries. Now the country of Youxiong is very strong, with many generals, abundant grain and grass, and many immortal cultivators to help, and a slight loss cannot shake its foundation.

On the other hand, in the Yaochi Kingdom, because of the actions of the King of Baixiang back then, no one who cultivated immortals was willing to help, at best, some side doors and left ways to take refuge here, and most of them could not be counted on.

In the early years, the king of Baixiang subdued several big demons in the mountains of the Western Wilderness for his own drive. But without the King of Baixiang himself, these big demons would not listen to other people's orders at all, and even wanted to see the defeat of the Yaochi Kingdom, so they simply watched from the wall.

Therefore, after holding on for a few months, the country of Yaochi, which had seen a slight improvement, took a sharp turn again, and the two sons of the king of Baixiang were talented, but now they are also lacking in skills.

After several fortresses were breached, the last resistance of the Yaochi Kingdom collapsed, and the Rongdi tribes no longer believed that the two sons of the Baixiang King could turn the situation around, and decided to retreat westward.

But even so, these Rong Di did not forget to loot on a large scale, and the capital of Yaochi fell into the last madness, only killing was left as far as the eye could see, there were no ordinary pedestrians on the road, the doors and windows of the houses were closed, and they had to be blocked with heavy objects. The corpses piled up in the corners of the walls and were not cleaned up, attracting wild dogs and crows to eat, blood staining the roads red, and a strong stench filling the streets and alleys.

This is the scene that Zhao Xiao saw, and in the distance he could still hear bursts of fighting and screaming, flames raging everywhere, the ferocious aura lingering, and the resentment of the soul echoing in every corner.

Zhao Xiao didn't stop the chaos in the city, he just watched it indifferently, and at the same time silently used the great mana to transcend the countless souls, making them gradually calm.
