5. Turmoil
Spring goes to autumn, winter passes and summer solstice.
In the blink of an eye, the Tianyuan Continent opened two new pages, and the spring breeze gently swept across the entire continent.
Today, the eyes of many dynasties, sects, and families on the mainland have all gathered here in the Baiyu Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty.
Compared with the pain of two years ago, the White Jade Dynasty can now be described as a spring breeze.
Since Zhao Zhong agreed to Luo Wei's condition on behalf of the emperor of the Baiyu Dynasty, in just one month, the Baiyu Dynasty completely annihilated the 250,000 vanguard troops of the Shengqing Dynasty, killing 80,000 enemies and capturing 110,000 enemies. After half a year, the Baiyu Dynasty recovered the lost territory of Jingzhou and blocked the enemy outside the Jingguan, and at this time the Shengqing Dynasty was in a dilemma and it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Forced conscription and mobilization in various places almost depleted the treasury reserves of the entire Shengqing Dynasty, and if they could not completely capture the territory of the Baiyu Dynasty, then as the initiator of this war, they would lose more than just fame and silver. Now that the resentment of the people in the country has been great, if they give up the war now, then the outbreak of the uprising war alone will be enough to overthrow the entire Shengqing Dynasty.
For this reason, the Sheng Qing Dynasty had to grit its teeth and continue.
But the situation has developed to this moment, and it is no longer a situation that the Sheng Qing Dynasty can fully control.
Behind the White Jade Dynasty is the Xuanwu Palace, and after a three-month buffer, this behemoth has finally shown its hideous side.
A support group consisting of three sect elders and three hundred inner sect disciples arrived at the front border of the White Jade Dynasty in the fifth month of the outbreak of the war. This time, the reinforcements from the Xuanwu Palace were far stronger than back then, and one of the elders had cooperated with Zhao Zhong back then, so after this meeting, he did not hesitate to directly hand over the command to Zhao Zhong again.
After five months of bloody fighting, now Zhao Zhong has officially stepped into the Jindan realm, but when he is facing a group of cultivators who are also Jindan realm, yīn yang mirror, and even dozens of cultivators who have reached the wind and fire realm, Zhao Zhong does not have the slightest stage fright. Command as you want, and even arrange for these young masters to form special attack groups many times... Specialized in decapitation tactics.
His command style is sharp and ferocious, his tactical structure is not only flexible and very changeable, but also his strategic vision and strategic ability, as well as his ability to command the battlefield in real time. And after receiving sufficient troops and support from the Xuanwu Palace, the Shengqing Dynasty could not stop Zhao Zhong's army... From the outbreak of the war to the end of the first year, the Baiyu Dynasty, which almost lost the country, has now annexed one-third of the territory of the Shengqing Dynasty.
But at this time, the Blood Demon Sect behind the Shengqing Dynasty finally couldn't sit still.
After uniting the Ghost Domain Gate, they finally intervened in the war of the Shengqing Dynasty, but when faced with the hordes of Xuanwu Palace powerhouses... But they don't get any benefit at all. Although the war has been in a stalemate on the surface, and the war has not broken out since then, the small frictions and local strife have never stopped, and the entire hinterland of the Shengqing Dynasty has completely fallen into the quagmire of war, and many cities have changed hands almost never for a day.
In the morning, it was under the control of the Shengqing Dynasty, and at noon it was captured by the Baiyu Dynasty, and before they could rest, they had to face the Shengqing Dynasty's counteroffensive army that appeared on the horizon in the evening... Then at night, it fell back into the hands of the White Jade Dynasty, and was recaptured by the Shengqing Dynasty when dawn was approaching.
The war between the two countries has completely fallen into the mode of conquest of the meat grinder... A large number of soldiers died on the battlefield, and the outbreak of plague and famine made the Shengqing Dynasty even worse.
In a whole year, the millions of troops mobilized by the whole country of the Sheng Qing Dynasty suffered more than seventy percent casualties, and by this time, the border troops stationed elsewhere had to abandon the border line and began to drive to the meat grinder battlefield in the hinterland. They all knew very well that although it seemed to be a stalemate on the surface, in reality the territory of the Sheng Qing Dynasty was constantly shrinking.
They knew that this was Zhao Zhong's encroachment tactic, but they just didn't have the ability to crack it. Even with the support of the Blood Demon Sect and the Ghost Domain Gate, the Shengqing Dynasty still couldn't stop it at all... Moreover, the calamity caused by the magic competition of these strong men in the cultivation realm was even more unbearable for ordinary people - if this meat grinder battlefield was formed because of the large number of soldiers killed on both sides, then in fact, more than half of the soldiers died in the power of the calamity
ō and below.
Today, the entire Shengqing Dynasty is like a piece of butter, and Zhao Zhong's soldiers are a hot knife.
Wherever the soldiers pointed, it was the territory of the White Jade Dynasty.
Luo Wei did not deceive Zhao Zhong... did not deceive the Baiyu Dynasty, and the ministers of the Baiyu Dynasty, the emperor, and even the current Zhenguo Hou Zhao Zhong knew very well that if it weren't for this young man who was secretly ruthless, the Baiyu Dynasty would definitely not be able to survive the first three months, and it would definitely not be able to wait for the reinforcements from the Xuanwu Palace and the troops that were urgently mobilized and requisitioned from the country.
If it weren't for the fact that this young man made people feel a burst of fear from their hearts, the emperor of the White Jade Dynasty would even have given him the title of national teacher.
A hundred young and beautiful virgins were completely played dead by him in three months, and in the end, even the bones were not completely preserved. If Lu Li was there, he would have found that some of the physical characteristics of the 100 young and beautiful virgins selected by Luo Wei were very similar to Luo Yu, maybe the eyes, maybe the facial features, maybe the ring finger, maybe the arms, maybe the xiōng part... All of them are different.
As for the 2,000 boys and girls, the fate of these little children was even more tragic.
It is said that at that time, even Zhao Zhong, who was accustomed to seeing blood and even felt that no matter how cruel the scene was, he felt cold hands and feet, and had a nightmare for three days after going back, so he was ill for more than half a month, causing the Baiyu Dynasty to miss an important warplane.
However, from the moment the powerhouse of the Xuanwu Palace rushed to support, Luo Wei completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and only appeared to contact Zhao Zhong when necessary, and there was no other thing at all. Because he knew very well what his identity was, in the past seven or eight years, as long as he was encountered by a cultivator, then it would inevitably be a life-and-death struggle, and those who had fallen into the Three Demon Paths would not be allowed to exist in this world after all.
In a vast plain, the four square military formations were arranged very neatly, and an aura of slaughter permeated the plain.
This moment... It was as if even the wind had stopped blowing out of fear of the breath.
A man over two meters three tall, standing in front of these four military formations, he was wearing a coarse linen shirt and linen kù, and a pair of cloth shoes under his feet... The whole person looks very plain. But no matter how simple this man is, the fierce momentum exuded from his body is also telling that this person is not simple, and his momentum alone faintly suppresses the murderous aura exuded by the combination of these four military formations.
The man holds a spear in his right hand.
The tip of the spear touched the ground as if it had been lightly lifted, but the place where the tip of the spear touched was covered with cracks.
The man raised his head and glanced at Tian Sè, then raised his hand and lifted the spear that was behind his waist... Just casually slammed into the ground, a burst of dust and smoke and a roar burst out in an instant, and when the smoke and dust cleared, a deep pit appeared on the ground with a diameter of three meters and a depth of more than five meters - only the square inch of the place where the man was standing was intact, and it looked like a lone stone pillar had suddenly appeared.
The weight of this gun can be seen.
The soldiers of the four phalanxes behind him looked solemnly in unison, with unconcealable fanaticism and admiration in their eyes.
This young man is one of the strong contenders for the next list of "the strongest people in today's cultivation world", and he is also the younger generation of disciples that Xuanwu Palace focuses on cultivating after Qi Jun.
As long as one of Su Jue, Feng Ziyan, Tang Ruo, Xin Wuming, and Huang Haoxuan is promoted to the fairyland... Then the list of "the strongest people in the current cultivation world" will be rearranged, and these people will naturally not and cannot be on the list again. Therefore, many sects now send the strongest young disciples in their own sects to experience... In order for them to hand over a report card that is out of the sè, so that they can enter the eyes of Qinglou and be included in the list of "the strongest people in the current monastic world".
Of course, these things are actually just wishful thinking of various sects and families, and no one knows how Qinglou's ranking is used as a reference benchmark.
But it is undeniable that the young man standing here at this moment is indeed the most outstanding and potential young disciple of Xuanwu Palace after Qi Jun.
Chen Lizi.
A young disciple with a very strange name.
However, what is even more peculiar is that his age is twenty or thirty years younger than Su Jue, Su, and Huang Haoxuan, which can definitely be regarded as very young in the cultivation world, and it has only been a few decades since he joined the Taiyi Sect... However, his cultivation is already the pinnacle of the Yang Mirror, and even half of his feet have already stepped into the realm of wind and fire.
This time, with the sect's team coming to support the White Jade Dynasty, it was to prepare for breaking through the Wind and Fire Realm - in fact, Chen Lizi was the reason why the Xuanwu Palace would send three elders this time. With such an excellent and extremely potential and talented young disciple, Xuanwu Palace naturally did not allow him to have the slightest loss.
A middle-aged man came out of the military formation, and then walked behind Chen Lizi... He saluted respectfully and said, "My lord, the time is almost up, and the Hou Ye has also sent a secret report that the enemy is coming here." ”
Chen Lizi scratched the back of his head and smiled at the middle-aged man: "What kind of adult, you have said that it is good to call me a little chestnut, and everyone in the sect shouts like this." ”
"The guide doesn't dare. The middle-aged man raised his head and said respectfully.
This person is Lu Yi of the Lu family!
Chen Lizi sighed, then turned his head to look at the billowing dust and smoke raised in front of him, no longer entangled in this question, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, the elite of the Shengqing Dynasty will be lost, and the dynasty that has been inherited for thousands of years will also perish because of this......"
"Yes. Lu Yi nodded.
Chen Lizi shook his head, a little confused, why the Shengqing Dynasty would make such a mistake, the older the dynasty, the more well-established, the more cautious it is? But these actually have nothing to do with him, he drove these troubles out of his mind, and then his eyes became cold and awe-inspiring.
This is a sign that he has entered a fighting state, and it is symbolized!
As Chen Lizi's spear was raised, it then swung down, pointing to the moment of rolling sand in front of him!
The shouts of killing in the military formation shook the sky!。
