Chapter III: Private Deliberations (3)

The distant eastern frontier is the largest area in the four major territories of the Ming Yuantian, the rivers, lakes and seas, the high mountains and hills, the steep and deep gorges, the vast plains and huge valleys, the vast land of various terrains are scattered across the stars, the momentum is magnificent, the images are thousands, the people who live here are very fond of this beautiful homeland.

Different from the other three territories, the easternmost part of the eastern frontier is a small land separated from the Mingyuan Heavenly Continent, called the Split Sky Fantasy Land. The area of the Split Sky Illusory Land is huge, about two-sevenths of the area of Eastern Xinjiang, and it is about twenty miles away from the mainland, floating in the void, and the celestials can only fly to the Split Sky Illusory Land, but because it is only twenty miles, it is not difficult to go to the island, and there are transport vehicles called "light cloud cars" on both sides of the Eastern Frontier, and people who cannot fly can come and go casually.

The most important reason why the Split Sky Fantasy Land is eye-catching is that there is an empty mountain in the middle of this place, and there is a huge whirlpool gate called "Empty Gate" on the top of the empty mountain, which is far away from the "Heavenly Gate" in southern Xinjiang, one is the gate to the seventy-two different islands outside the sky, and the other is the gate to the rest of the heavens and the human world.

Of course, the celestials don't like the alien islands, and basically no one wants to approach the empty mountain except for those who have been punished and assigned, so this is an ominous mountain in people's hearts, and those who come here will never turn back.

In fact, the four major territories have characteristics, the importance of the "Gate of Heaven" in the south is known to everyone, the "empty gate" in the east is feared by people, and the "zenith" in the west is the source of hope, only the north seems to be slightly inferior, most of the area there is covered with ice and snow all year round, and people rarely enter the ice field except for the wind and snow practice, so for thousands of years, the heavenly people are still a little unfamiliar with the land of the northern Xinjiang, but the Emperor of Heaven knows that under the land of ice and snow is located an ice mansion, which is connected to the four major caves, and is the source of the power of the heaven and earth in Mingyuan, the value is like the Soul Killing Mountain in the ghost domain.

Mingyuan suffered from the invasion of the demon army, tens of thousands of demon troops surging like a tide, since the death of the ancient battle of the southern Tianshuai, the momentum of the demon army has entered the eastern frontier, if it were not for the stubborn resistance of the army led by the Eastern Prime Minister Shufeng, the consequences are unimaginable, these days the battle line has been maintained at the junction of the eastern Xinjiang and the southern Xinjiang, the demon who had invaded the inner belly of the eastern Xinjiang was driven back, and the morale was great, no one would have thought that the first thing to go wrong was the seemingly impregnable line of defense of the people.

Different from southern Xinjiang, after the earthquake, the water of the sky has been rushing into southern Xinjiang, invincible, but due to the topography, the huge tide enters southern Xinjiang and flows towards the south and southeast, but turns to the northeast, so the eastern territory only has war and no flood, when the earth trembles over, the demon army will launch a fierce attack again.

Dongxiang Shufeng is a generation of famous ministers of Ming Yuantian, in charge of the domain of the Eastern Frontier is longer than the reign of the Emperor of Heaven, a total of 1,761 years, it can be said that it is the old minister of the old ministers, the famous of the famous people, many people have believed that he will become the best candidate for the Emperor of Heaven, although in the end it failed to become a fact, but people's evaluation of him is still extremely high, whether it is politics, people's livelihood, or military are deep in the law, the domain of the Eastern Frontier is also a large population, the military is strong, the people of heaven live and work in peace and contentment, I did not expect to encounter a rare demon invasion for 10,000 years.

"Your Excellency."

Hearing the sound outside the tent, Shu Feng put down the book in his hand and looked up, and saw that it was Cao Xuan, the chief general of the Sword Warrior Guard, and asked curiously, "Why did you come here when you weren't on the front line, could it be that there is a situation on the front line?"

Cao Xuan bowed and saluted, and sighed with a worried face: "The demon army's offensive is still fierce, and we have also found that they have increased their troops again, just looking at the thickness of the enemy team, I am afraid that it is twice as strong."

"Double?" Shu Feng gasped, but he was not surprised, this reaction surprised Cao Xuan.

"Didn't you already know?"

Shu Feng picked up a letter on the table and raised it, and sighed lightly: "Heavenly Court came to report, the earth trembled a few days ago because of the hanging sea pouring down, and the huge tide rushed down, flooding a large area of southern Xinjiang, and the war in southern Xinjiang was interrupted, and the flood did not flow eastward, but penetrated into the southeast, dividing the demon army in southern Xinjiang and our heavenly soldiers from north and south, so there was no war in the middle of southern Xinjiang, and the area east of southern Xinjiang was not affected by the flood, the demon army was still fierce, they could not attack Nanxiang City, so they could only come to my eastern Xinjiang, and the number can be imagined."

Cao Xuan suddenly realized, but then his face was like ashes, the battle ahead has always been a tug-of-war, if the demon soldiers add more troops, the pressure will skyrocket, I don't know if the inferior heavenly soldiers can stop it, and I am uneasy in my heart.

Seeing his expression, Shu Feng smiled faintly and said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry too much, my Eastern Xinjiang soldiers are strong and strong, and the terrain is advantageous, although the demon army is numerous, it can't help us, your sword warrior guard is my elite division, as long as you fight hard, you don't have to worry about other things."

Cao Xuan hurriedly said yes, but his trip was not just to inform the enemy of the increase in troops, but for a treasure that had just broken ground between the two formations.

It is an eight-leaf golden lotus incense burner, a bud-shaped golden incense burner, the base is made of eight lotus leaves overlapped, when it was unearthed, it was already golden light, but the strange thing is that this treasure broke the ground and suspended itself in the air, the demon army and the celestial people saw that they especially wanted to obtain this treasure, the battle for the treasure is even more inspiring, many people have approached this treasure, but the dazzling golden light even if the eyes are closed, it also penetrates the flesh and bones, like a thousand small needles, all those who approach are pierced and screamed, so both parties think it is an evil thing, dare not approach.

"That's it!"

Hearing Cao Xuan's description, Shu Feng couldn't help but be very curious, there are many strange treasures in the heavenly realm, and each belongs to the people who are destined, this is not a big deal, he himself also got a purple dragon whip in the sea when he was practicing, which is consistent with the heavenly book "Divine Whip Book" he learned, so he can become one of the many masters in the heavenly realm, since this strange treasure has appeared on the front line, it must not be ignored.

"This treasure divides the two sides, the two armies cannot fight, and the subordinates don't know how to deal with it, please make it clear."

"I'll take a look, if I can get this treasure, it will definitely help break the great demon's plan."

Shu Feng rose up and rushed to the front line with Cao Xuan, but he didn't know that the strong man was gone, and the pattern of Ming Yuantian also underwent new changes.

The location of the eight-leaf golden lotus incense burner is in the Yunlian Valley on the border of eastern Xinjiang, because the valley is lotus-shaped, so it is named "Yunlian Valley", a key road connecting the eastern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang passes through the valley, so it is also a place where soldiers must fight, there is a city called "Suwu" at the north exit of Yunlian Valley ten miles, although the city is not big, but it is the road of the north and south, and it has become a military town at this time.

The demon army raided the camp of Futianshuai, killed Gu Zhibo, and then attacked in the north, occupying Jiaohe City, thirty miles away from the south of the valley as a stronghold, the forward army invaded the south of the valley, and met with the soldiers of the eastern frontier who guarded the exit of the north of the valley.

Shu Feng soon came to the Yunlian Valley, the two sides in the valley have completely stopped fighting, but no one dares to retreat an inch, respectively standing in the north and south of the eight-leaf golden lotus incense burner, only fifty zhang apart, it can be said that the finger bullet is coming, the two sides are tense and tense, and they don't even dare to blink their eyes.

"Dongxiang-sama has arrived!"

After a shout, there was an immediate commotion in the Heavenly Soldier Phalanx, and people crowded to both sides, giving way to a half-zhang wide road in the center, staring at the northern valley mouth with expectant eyes, expecting the arrival of Shu Feng to solve the problem in front of them.

Shu Feng won the hearts of the military, one of which was his smile, although he was old, he still showed a dashing and uninhibited heroic spirit, which made people fall in love at first sight. Although he is a scribe, but he has the key to the art of war, the demon army is now powerful, there are many numbers, it is difficult to win for a while, if you are in a hurry to attack but fall into the mortal, so these days he only let the heavenly soldiers everywhere hold the pass fortress, and then send air troops to patrol back and forth, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the predecessors.

Straight through the passage to the front of the formation, Shu Feng's peaceful gaze first fell on the demon array fifty zhang away, clearly looking at the various strange-shaped monsters in the enemy formation, big-eared, pointy-nosed, one-eyed, three-legged, how strange and weird, one by one grinning, and there are countless shouters.

The high-ranking generals of the Heavenly Army all crowded to Shu Feng's side, and Cao Xuan stood with him, pointing upwards and saying, "That golden light is the treasure of breaking the earth, and now it is separated by two formations, I don't know if it is auspicious or evil."

"It will be a good sign!"

Shu Feng looked at the place where the voice came from, and he was talking as a young general with white teeth and red lips, who looked to be twenty years old, with fine skin and tender flesh, and it was difficult to imagine that he was an officer if it weren't for a silver battle armor.

The young man's name is Dagger Feng, he is a partial general of the sword warrior guard under Cao Xuan, although he is young, his martial arts are not bad, and at the age of fifteen, he got the heavenly book "Lock Sword Technique" at the Zenith Immortal Yuan Conference, and he has been practicing for three or four years.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Dagger Feng was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head with a red face.

"I'll lend you good luck!" Shu Feng smiled.

Looking up at the sky, the golden incense burner is hanging high in the air about ten zhang above the ground, and the incense burner continues to release dazzling light, although it is more than 20 zhang apart, Shu Feng still feels a slight stinging in his eyes, and his heart can't help but be shocked, and at the same time he concludes that this furnace must be a treasure.

"When was this unearthed?"

Cao Xuan said: "About three hours ago, when the two armies were tearing apart, a golden light suddenly appeared, everyone was dazzled by the light, so they had to retreat, this thing was still shrunk together like a bud at first, but soon the eight-leaf golden lotus at the base bloomed, and the golden light was even more abundant, and no one could approach it."

Dagger interjected again: "Since the departure of the lord, the incense burner has risen a foot higher, and it seems that it is still ascending."

Shu Feng put his chin on the gray goatee and thought carefully, this thing will not break the ground sooner, not break the ground late, but when the two armies clash, it will break the ground, and the two armies will be divided, it seems that there is a providence in the dark, but I don't know whether this providence is inclined to the heavenly realm or the demon army, I can't help but feel uneasy, although I am in power, but I am not omnipotent, in case the demon army breaks the defense and invades the belly of the eastern frontier, things will be troublesome.

He didn't know that the demon army also had the same concerns, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The water disaster in southern Xinjiang is big, the water area is wide, and the water nature is strange, if you want to attack, you must cross that forbidden area, which is extremely unfavorable to the attacker, so Eastern Xinjiang has become an important target for the demon army's attack.

There is nothing that the celestials don't know that the demons on the eastern front are heading north from the east road, and the target is the split void phantom land that is separated from the Mingyuan Heavenly Continent, so the offensive on the eastern front is far more fierce than in other directions.

The golden light was overwhelming, like a drizzle of rain sprinkled on the earth, and the entire Yunlian Valley was shrouded in golden light, and as the eight-leaf golden lotus incense burner slowly rotated in the air, the golden beam of light became more and more dense. After a long time, the incense burner stopped rising, but a light pink smoke rose again, as if someone had lit the incense in the incense burner.

The light smoke curls up, and the posture of Ona is like a girl, and the pink color is more suitable, which is a wonder in the sky, and the people on the ground can't be amazed again and again. Both the demons and the celestials forgot that they were on the battlefield, and they all looked at the sky in amazement, their eyes slowly rising with the red smoke.
