Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Monster on the Prairie
"Oh, let's say, what's the bad news?" Mo Cong stuck the Mawang knife diagonally behind his back, and the excitement on his face had not faded.
"The bad news is that the father of the Seven Princes, that is, Murong Kuo, the Emperor of the Long Kingdom, specially sent an army of 200,000 and seven masters to Juling Pass to take revenge. At the normal pace of the march, it would be possible to reach it in eight days. Lei Leopard said with a bitter face.
"200,000 troops?" Mo Cong was stunned, thinking that he had stabbed a big basket now. Rui Guo is now short of major generals, and it is extremely difficult to fight with the 300,000 Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side, and now the enemy has increased his troops by 200,000, what can I do.
As if he saw Mo Cong's thoughts, Lei Bao said with relief: "Brother, don't worry too much, although the enemy has many soldiers and horses, the battle line is too long, and the grassland is cold and freezing, and the grain and grass will definitely be unsustainable." Let's stick to the gap and attack, and we can consume them to death. So the enemy's 200,000-strong army is nothing to worry about. Hey, the point is that the enemy's seven masters are more difficult to deal with. As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the cliff of Lingyun Mountain and sighed.
Hearing Lei Bao say this, Mo Cong's heart was a little relieved, he thought for a while, and asked, "Brother Lei, what level of masters are those seven masters?"
Since going down the mountain, Mo Cong has also seen many masters, which makes him a little numb to the word master. If the other party sent only a master of the level of Tan Xingyu or Lei Bao or even Chen Ruoping, then Mo said that it was seven, even if it was seventy or seven hundred, Mo Cong would not take it to heart.
"Those seven masters are said to be from a mysterious place called the Demon Sect, and they have extraordinary strength, anyway, they are very powerful. Lei Bao said solemnly: "After careful consideration, I and the other officers have reached an agreement. From today onwards, you should no longer participate in the mission of going out of the city to fight, so as not to encounter danger. ”
Demon Sect!
The two words exploded in Mo Cong's ears like a thunderbolt, and some of the words that the old man had said about the Demon Sect on Lingyun Mountain echoed one after another.
"The master from the Demon Sect?!" Mo Cong muttered.
"Yes, I heard those captives say that the Demon Sect is a mysterious religious sect in the northern grasslands, and it has a very transcendent status in the Long Kingdom. The people of Longguo like to call them the Divine Sect, but they themselves like to call themselves the Demon Sect. Lei Leopard explained: "We don't know much about what is going on. I only know that the people from the Demon Sect are all very powerful. After finishing speaking, he felt that the word "powerful" was not enough, and added: "All of them are as powerful as monsters!"
"Oh, Brother Lei, hearing you say this, I really want to meet those masters. Mo Cong smiled, with a look of eagerness.
He knew very well in his heart that the Demon Sect was not a religious sect at all, and the people of the Demon Sect were not monsters, but cultivators like himself. For thousands of years, the grassland people have been fighting endlessly with the Central Plains, and the Demon Sect and Lingyun Mountain have long formed a blood feud. Since the people of the Demon Sect dared to come to the foot of Lingyun Mountain to help the Long Kingdom invade the Rui Kingdom, Mo Cong definitely didn't say anything, and he had to come forward. Murong Changfeng died at the hands of Mo Cong, and those people came in the name of revenge, and when they encountered such a thing, Mo Cong had no reason to be a turtle with a shrunken head in public or private.
"Are you crazy? Those Demon Sect masters are really powerful, and they are not at all something that flesh and blood can resist. Lei Leopard thought that Mo Cong listened to his words and would obediently stay in the city and not fight, but after saying it, Mo Cong wanted to be stronger. Looking at Mo Cong's eager look, Lei Leopard was anxious and worried. He paused, pointed to the towering Lingyun Mountain cliff and said, "A year ago, in that place, I saw two such masters with my own eyes. At that time, they easily suppressed me and Lord Chen and other generals to the point that they were powerless, and one of the masters made a gesture in the air, and Lord Chen immediately flew out a few feet away, and was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread. Hey, if it wasn't for the immortal manifestation at that time, tsk, it is estimated that it would be more auspicious. ”
"Immortal manifestation?" Mo Cong was stunned, raised his eyes to look at Lingyun Mountain, and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, are you joking, how can there be immortals in this world?"
"There really are immortals, there are really immortals! And they probably live on that mountain!" Lei Leopard said stubbornly and seriously: "Lord Chen didn't believe it before, but after that incident, even he had to believe it." As he spoke, he told Mo Cong in detail the story of the immortal apparition.
Immortal......
Mo Cong couldn't cry or laugh.
Speaking of other places, he may not know. Speaking of Lingyun Mountain, he has the most right to speak.
Looking at Lei Leopard's sworn appearance, Mo Cong wanted to say to him: Big brother, my home is in Lingyun Mountain!
But remembering the old man's warning when he left, Mo Cong didn't want to reveal his true origin.
Immortal apparitions?
Well, if you calculate it, the time that Lei Leopard said and the time when the old man jumped off the cliff coincide. Could it be that when the old man went down the mountain, he used some magic power to kill those two Demon Sect masters, and then everyone mistakenly thought it was a fairy manifestation?
Mo Cong thought silently, feeling that the ins and outs of the whole thing should be like this.
"Brother Lei, according to what you say, then I don't have to be afraid. Anyway, in the end, there will be immortals who will come out to clean them up, so I can go out of the city to fight with peace of mind. Mo Cong pointed to the top of Lingyun Mountain and said to Lei Leopard with a smile.
"Immortals... Immortals..."Lei Bao saw that Mo Cong was so disobedient, and he used his immortal remarks to gag his mouth, and he opened his mouth for a while, not knowing how to refute. He thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said: "Brother, although immortals are immortals, they may not appear every time." Think about it, you went out so boldly, thinking that the gods would come out to save you. What about the immortals, but it is possible that they are not at home, and they just happened to go out to travel all over the world, so aren't you in danger? So, haha, let's listen to the eldest brother and stay in the city obediently. ”
"No, Brother Lei, you let me stay in the city, so how are you going to face those masters?" asked Mo Cong.
The Demon Sect, like Lingyun Mountain, is an existence beyond the scope of the world's cognition, and Mo Cong really can't think of any good way for ordinary people like Lei Leopard to deal with cultivators.
"We... Ahem... There's really nothing we can do. Lei Leopard froze for a moment and said: "For today's plan, we can only find more masters from all walks of life in our Rui Kingdom to help, and I hope everyone can kill those guys when they rush up." Hey, it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor anyway!"
"Masters of all sects... Brother Lei, I am the master of our Black Mountain faction in the Rui Kingdom, since the masters of other sects can fight to meet the enemy, I can too!
"You, you're pretty good, it's just ......," Thunder Leopard muttered.
He saw Mo Cong's skills, and on the basis of Mo Cong's innate divine power, all aspects of his kung fu made Lei Leopard feel that he was not under him. But the Demon Sect's master's powerful Lei Leopard has seen it with his own eyes, compared to the shocking weirdness and magic of those people, Mo Cong's kung fu is too far behind. But what Mo Cong said also makes sense, one more person has more strength, which is exactly the way that the senior management of the Swiss army came up with without a way.
Seeing that Lei Leopard's heart was moved, Mo Cong added firewood and said, "Brother Lei, in addition to myself, there are two masters in our Black Mountain Sect who are also quite powerful. Aren't you informing the masters of other sects to come and help in the battle, why don't you call them too? He thought to himself that the Demon Sect had seven masters at once, and he might not be able to deal with it alone. The enemy's troops are pressing the border, this battle is related to the national fortunes of the two countries, for the sake of insurance, Mo Cong feels that it is more appropriate to transfer Mo Xiao and Mo Min together.
"It's okay, Commander He is preparing to send a book to the country, you tell me the names and addresses of the two masters of your Black Mountain Sect, and I'll go back and let them add it." Lei Bao said.
