The news of the Battle of Red Rock Mountain soon spread.

After all, the death of a Penglai Immortal Sect's Jindan Elder is by no means a trivial matter, not to mention the vision in the direction of Su Kingdom, many people have seen it, and for a while, everyone is talking about it, who is the Sanxiu Su Chen who seized the Sun Golden Tripod.

At the same time, after Penglai Immortal Sect learned of Qiong Huazhen's death, he was extremely furious, and thus announced the hunt and kill order for Su Chen.

But it didn't really take too many masters because of this.

Because Penglai Immortal Sect's main energy is now also concentrated on the Xuanwu Kingdom, and there are still many industrial areas like Su Country to guard, where can we divide the extra manpower to hunt down a Jindan master who has just obtained a heavy treasure?

The so-called chase order is just shouting slogans to let people know their attitude.

Moreover, as soon as Su Chen was scattered, no one knew his origin and feet, and after leaving Su Country, he was like a fish returning to the sea, without a trace, and nowhere to be found.

This matter can only be put to rest for the time being.

Since that day, Su Chen, the person, seems to have evaporated from the world, no one has seen any trace of his appearance, and the Sun Jinding has never appeared again.

Not to mention other people, even if it was Shui Yunyan, he tried to secretly contact with the transmission note, but he didn't receive any reply.

"Su Chen's identity, let's disappear for a while. The next action is to carry out the ...... as a casual cultivator 'Lin Fan' in Tianyuan City."

A month later.

Su Chen, who had changed his appearance, had already entered the territory of the Dali Dynasty.

Jincheng is located in the south of the Dali Dynasty.

It used to be a well-known silk trading capital, quite prosperous, it was the leading city in the southwest region, with a large number of troops and cultivators sitting in the town all year round, although its scale was not as good as Tianyuan City, but it was also a pearl among the ordinary cities.

It's a pity that because of the turmoil of the dynasty every year, the city has also been devastated by war.

Just over a decade ago, there was a terrible battle here.

At that time, Qiao Qian's army of the old king was besieged here by the army of the Blood God Sect and the Xuanyuan clan, and fought for seven days and seven nights, and finally the city was broken, and the Xuanyuan clan ordered the slaughter of the city for three days without sealing the knife, resulting in the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people under the butcher's knife.

Since then, Jincheng has been in ruins and withering.

Until five years ago, the old princess Qiao Qian, who got the inheritance left by the ancestors of the royal family, woke up the sleeping dragon corpse, obtained supreme power, and led the army to reconquer and recover this place.

After a few years of recuperation, this ancient city has finally regained some vitality.

"All of this is thanks to our Valkyrie, her bravery is praised by people, and her kindness is also loved by people......"

"In fact, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, for us ordinary people, as long as we don't fight every day and can live a quiet life......"

"You can't say that, the Xuanyuan clan is plotting to usurp the throne, behind it is collusion with the Demon Sect, under their rule, can we have a good life? The king of the opposite sex in the north is also a brutal man, and I have heard people who do business in the north say that they must take at least 50% of the income as military expenses ...... if they are tyrannical and expropriating, whether they are farming or doing business."

"Listening to what you say, it's better for us to leave others and be the masters of our own affairs. Her Royal Highness the princess is benevolent and fair, and she is still very good to us, although the front line is difficult, she has never been harsh on the people's livelihood, and she should be a good emperor. ”

"It's just that the situation is still unclear now, I heard that the three armies have been fighting on the front line of Tianxing Valley for several months, and the outcome is unknown. I hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess can inherit the legacy of my ancestors, and live up to the name of the Valkyrie......"

In a teahouse restaurant.

Su Chen sat in the corner by the window, quietly listening to the discussion and conversation of the diners below.

It can be seen from these people that Qiao Qian is indeed very prestigious among the people, treating the people with benevolence and justice, being brave on the battlefield, taking the lead, and winning the hearts of the people.

If he ascends the throne in the future, he should also be a generation of Ming monarchs.

But.

The current situation of the Dali Dynasty is still not optimistic.

Even if the main energy of the Yunyang Sect and the Blood Refining Sect is no longer here, they have been operating here for decades and cultivating their respective forces, and they have already become a climate, so it is naturally impossible to leave them alone, so the two major sects have left many masters here, as well as a Jindan elder.

Even if Qiao Qian relied on the cloud conch to summon and control the corpse of the dragon, her combat power was only barely on par with Jin Dan.

In recent years, the situation in the south has been stabilized, and it is no longer as difficult as before, and it has also developed a more powerful army, but the lack of high-end forces makes it difficult for her to determine the victory.

Now that the Xuanwu Kingdom has attracted the attention of almost all the immortal cultivation sects, this is also the best opportunity for Qiao Qian, so a year ago, she began to raise troops to the Northern Expedition, fought all the way, and also recovered and conquered many cities.

The tripartite expeditions are staggered, sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal, and there are mutual victories and defeats.

Now, it has advanced to the place where the Heavenly Star Valley is located, the hinterland of the Great Li Dynasty.

This is the pivotal place of the entire Dali Dynasty, and now it is in the hands of the Xuanyuan clan, taking this pass, you can approach the imperial capital, capture the imperial city, and threaten the north far away, so not only Qiao Qian wants to capture this place, but the north side will also not sit idly by, and the three families have been in a stalemate for more than half a year.

Winter is coming.

The armaments, food, and grass of all sides are gradually stretched thin, and a decisive battle to determine the outcome of life and death is imminent.

And in this war, there are three parties, before the war, there is no idea who will be the enemy, who will be the ally, or, each of them is the enemy, once the war breaks out, they may face a two-front battle at the same time, which is also where the three parties are afraid and hesitate.

So, with this period of time, the lobbyists and spies of the three parties are all coming and going.

Jincheng is the closest city to Tianxing Valley, so the inventory here is also very strict, when Su Chen entered the city, he was questioned several times, but with his strength, it was easy to avoid these ordinary spies, and he didn't encounter any trouble.

"Finally, when the Immortal Cultivation Sect has no time to intervene, Qiao Qian will definitely not let it go, and in the near future, she will definitely make a move. But just relying on the corpse of the dragon in her hand, I'm afraid it's not enough, if a scuffle really breaks out, the victory or defeat depends on the will of heaven, even if it is a final victory, it is a miserable victory, how to control and rule the country, in the end, it will still be taken over by the sect, which will damage the national fortune, which is obviously not what I want. ”

Su Chen shook his head.

After a moment of thought, he stood up and, with a wave of his hand, placed a piece of broken silver on the table.

Then the figure was gone.

After a while, the shopkeeper who served the tea pushed the door in, but only saw the empty room and the silver on the table, and couldn't help but wonder a little, he had been outside the door all the time, and he didn't see anyone coming out inside, which was really strange.

However, in this land of Jingzhou, there has never been a shortage of knights who come and go, and there are even people who cultivate immortals, who come and go without a trace, he is not particularly surprised, anyway, as long as he gives money.

……

Leaving the restaurant, Su Chen rode on Kunluo and headed north.

After Hongshi Mountain was injured, Kunluo felt that his strength was insufficient, and he didn't help Su Chen at the critical moment, and he blamed himself very much, so after recovering from his injury, he cultivated diligently every day, and his strength improved a lot, although the realm did not change much, but this speed was indeed a lot faster.

It only took half a day, and one person and one bird had arrived at the front line of the Heavenly Star Valley.

Far away can see a huge pass in the vicinity of the Hengduan Mountains, the west is the barren and barbaric mountains, the difficulty of flying birds, belongs to the moat, the east is connected to the Great Plains, is the capital of the Dali Dynasty, and it is also the richest area, and now it is the territory of the Xuanyuan family.

The north and south sides of the pass are now hundreds of miles of flat land that has been carved out, with continuous flags and camp tents, as if mushrooms have sprung up after a rain, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.

Before this Xiongguan, the three armies gathered almost the entire military power of the Dali Dynasty, totaling more than one million people, among which there were many immortal cultivators, it is conceivable that once this battle broke out, it would definitely be a river of blood.

The clash of mortal armies is easy to say, but as long as the immortal cultivators intervene, it will not be of an order of magnitude.

A powerful immortal cultivator is comparable to an entire army in terms of its own destructive power, so the key point of this big victory or defeat is to care about the comparison of the strength of the top immortal cultivators of all parties.

Obviously, in this regard, Qiao Qian is not superior.

"Kunluo, you fly out to the other side to have a look, but be careful, don't get close to the camp and the level, there must be masters sitting there, as well as various formation weapons, be careful to shoot you down."

Su Chen commanded.

Let Kunluo go out to find out the information, with its current strength and speed, as long as it does not fall directly into the encirclement of the other party, there is no need to worry about safety.

Even if you meet the other party's Jin Dan and run away with all your might, there is no problem.

"Tick-"

Kunluo cried and flapped his wings away, and Su Chen's body turned into clouds and mist fluttering, and after a short time, he had already landed in the camp where the Southern Army was located.

It is heavily guarded, with patrols and sentry spies, and a lot of organ formations are also arranged for warning and defense.

In case someone else is going to stab you.

This method is very common in war, assassinating the enemy commander, the risk is high, the return is also high, if it is the Xuanyuan clan or the northern side, it may not be a big problem to kill a boss, because their main combat power is to rely on the Jindan strong, the boss can be replaced at any time to support a puppet when he dies.

But Qiao Qian's side is different.

She is almost the faith and backbone of the Southern Army, and she can pull up this team by virtue of her royal bloodline identity, and she now controls Yunhai Conch, she is the only person who can control the corpse of Jiaolong, and she is also the strongest combat power in the south.

If she can be killed, the corpse of the dragon cannot be used, and the Southern Legion will lose the qualification to compete for hegemony.

Therefore, Qiao Qian has been assassinated countless times over the years, and what Su Chen encountered in Qianji City was only one of them.

It is really not easy for her to survive so many assassinations, after all, there is a Jindan powerhouse on the other side, and if she pulls down her face and plots to assassinate her junior, the success rate is very high.

It's just that they didn't look down on Qiao Qian before, and they didn't think it was necessary, but after Qiao Qian got the corpse of the dragon, even the Jindan powerhouse didn't dare to mess around.

Out of cautious habits, Qiao Qian will still lay all kinds of protective measures and means near her military tent, which can be regarded as coinciding with Su Chen.

Of course.

This level of defense has no effect on Su Chen.

With the strength of his divine thoughts, he only needed a glance to detect the clues, so there was almost no impact, and without alarming anyone, Su Chen had already sneaked into the military tent.

At this time.

In the military tent, Qiao Qian was dressed in military uniform, and was analyzing the military situation on the front line with several cronies and generals.

I haven't seen her for a few years, Qiao Qian's appearance has not changed much, but the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot.

When she was in Tianyuan City, she was just a martial artist with hatred for the country and family, although she had good potential, she was still immature in all aspects. When she was in Thousand Machines City, she was down, struggling, and being chased and killed, so she was full of stubbornness and exhaustion.

And now, after she mastered the corpse of the dragon, she regained her strength, led the army to win successive battles, and had already conquered the great territory and made a name for herself as a Valkyrie.

Therefore, every move, word and deed now finally has the majesty of the superior.

Now she is wearing a bright silver armor, her hair is tied up, she is heroic and handsome, her expression is not angry and self-assured, perhaps because she controls the corpse of the dragon, and there is a trace of dragon power on her body, which makes people dare not ignore it.

"Tianxing Pass is known as the first fortress of my Dali, and it is equipped with a large number of defensive magic weapons, as well as siege magic weapons, which are extremely lethal. If we attack head-on, we will lose a lot. ”

"The officers and men of our army fought bravely, and in order to recover the country and quell the turmoil, they did not hesitate to fight to the death. But what we're worried about is that if at this time, the northern side bypasses the Heavenly Trench Mountain, sneaks up from the flank, or directly joins forces with the Xuanyuan clan, we will definitely be defeated! ”

"The attitude of the north is unclear, and he said before that he would join forces with us to overthrow the rule of the Xuanyuan clan first, but when he was in Quanzhou, he stabbed us in the back, but it didn't contain a lake at all. I have to guard against it! ”

The generals are analyzing the pros and cons.

Su Chen was not in a hurry, listened carefully for a while, and also had a general understanding of the current specific situation and military situation.

It's a pity that everyone only raised various questions when they talked about it, and they never showed a formal objection to how to properly solve them.

After listening to it for a while, Qiao Qian also felt a little tired.

These days, every day is these cliché problems, which makes her a little exhausted, and these things are only at the military level, and it may be possible to solve them if you think of a way and pay some costs.

But if she really wants to win Tianxing Pass, the most important thing is the Jindan powerhouse in both sides, which is the key to restricting the pace of her Northern Expedition.

And on the contrary, with her current strength, resisting Jin Dan is already the limit, how can she defeat it?

"Hey, if I can also get the help of a Jindan powerhouse, it would be good, why be so passive."

Qiao Qian sighed in her heart, and involuntarily thought of "Lin Fan".

When he was most desperate, this man stood up and helped him solve the dilemma, so that he had today's situation, if he was there, there should be a solution, right?

However, when we met in Tianji City a few years ago, he was still only building a foundation realm, how difficult was it to achieve Jindan?

No matter how talented Lin Fan is, it is impossible for him to be so fast.

Besides, he has helped himself a lot, but he has not given a corresponding return, the so-called position of the national teacher, enjoying the national fortune exclusively, is just a promise, and it has not been fulfilled so far, so even if he encounters difficulties, Qiao Qian does not want to trouble Su Chen, he already owes him a lot.

"Let's do this today, let's all go down and rest, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow."

Qiao Qian said, waved her hand, asked everyone to retreat first, and then sat down on the chair next to her, picked up the military newspaper next to her, and didn't have time to read it.

I heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"It seems that your restoration is not going well......"
