Lin Dongjiu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, put away Hua Yueyao's life jade card, and said with a smile:

"Thank you Sect Master Liao, I will definitely get Yueyao back, and I will ask Sect Master Liao to help take care of our children then."

"Get out!"

Sect Master Liao was angry, twisted around and waved out a big hand of spiritual power, but found that Lin Dongjiu had already disappeared.

"This little bastard, he has the same virtue as his master!"

Liao Yin clenched her silver teeth, but for some reason, there was no anger in her heart.

She shook her head, walked out of the main hall to gather the elders and disciples of the whole sect, and began to arrange the explanation with Lin Dongjiu.

...

Tonight's moon is exceptionally round, like a sprinkling of moonlight, reflecting the stars set in the night.

Lin Dongjiu drove the Flying Cloud Boat without stopping for a moment, and when he returned to the Luoxia Sect, it was already the second half of the night.

The sect was quiet, after the battle of Blackwater City, most of the disciples were concentrating on healing in the Enlightenment Square, and only a few patrolling and vigil teams were left to wander in the shadows.

Lin Dongjiu went back to Xianyun Peak in the dark, and when he arrived at the door of the house, the lights had been turned off in the house, presumably the eldest lady and Yin Tao had already slept, so he turned around and went to Ling'er's residence, planning to spend the night there tonight.

"Smack!"

With a snap of his fingers, a cluster of flames burst out from his fingertips, Lin Dongjiu took the opportunity to light an oil lamp on the table, and Ling'er's room was suddenly illuminated by an orange light.

The layout of the room has not changed, most of the items Ling'er has not been taken away, everything is still as familiar as before, and even the familiar smell of Ling'er seems to remain in the air.

He looked at the spotless floor and the neatly arranged mattress, and he didn't have to guess to know that it must be the eldest lady who often came to clean it.

Lin Dongjiu took off his clothes and went to bed, the soft bed was a little cold, even though he was already very tired, but the memories rushed into his mind uncontrollably, making it difficult for him to sleep, and he could only stare at the oil lamp that kept flickering in the flames.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing through the crack in the door, blowing out the oil lamp on the table.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed in the darkness and burrowed into Lin Dongjiu's bed.

Lin Dongjiu only felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and he couldn't help coughing helplessly:

"Ahem, Fluttershy, push harder, you're going to break my neck."

Only then did Butterfly Phantom Yi let go of the arms that were holding Lin Dongjiu's neck, and said coquettishly:

"The master didn't sleep with that girl, so the slave family will serve the master to sleep tonight."

Smelling the faint fragrance that rushed straight to his nose, Lin Dongjiu moved away from Butterfly Phantom's dishonest hand, and said in a tired voice:

"Fluttershy, don't make a fuss, I'm a little tired today."

"Then the slave family will warm the bed for the master."

Butterfly Phantom Yi obediently curled up beside Lin Dongjiu, hugged his arm and said:

"Master, this is a girl's room, right?"

"My sister's."

"She's also the master's sweetheart, right?"

"Uh..."

Lin Dongjiu nodded noncommittally.

Butterfly Phantom said faintly: "Since the master is so greedy, then the slave family should also be wanted, okay?" The slave family can be small, as long as it can stay with the master. ”

Lin Dongjiu didn't talk.

"The slave family actually understands in their hearts that the master does not look down on the slave family. When the master finishes solving the affairs of the Demon Palace, the slave family will leave, and he will not disturb the master's life again. ”

Butterfly Phantom smiled angrily, but her voice sounded a little trembling, she let go of Lin Dongjiu's arm and got up to leave.

Lin Dongjiu still didn't say anything, but reached out and grabbed her arm, and sighed deeply:

"Iniquity!"

"Hey!"

Butterfly Phantom's eyebrows and eyes were curved like crescent moons, she threw herself into Lin Dongjiu's arms, rubbed his chin like a kitten, and said happily:

"The slave family loves the master the most..."

Early the next morning, Lin Dongjiu woke up, the butterfly phantom clothes beside him were no longer there, he got dressed, went out and went straight to the sect master peak.

Half an hour later, in the meeting room of the Sect Master's Peak...

The sect master, the elders, and the three city lords were all present, and perhaps the only one who was out of place with everyone at the meeting was Yuan Cai, who was sitting in the corner, silent.

Lin Dongjiu's expression was serious, he looked around, and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, so he asked one by one:

"Sect Master, have you negotiated with the Hundred Grass Field?"

Su Bei nodded and said, "The elders of the Hundred Grass Land Sect will all participate in the battle, and provide 150,000 spirit stones and 10,000 pots of healing pills. ”

Lin Dongjiu said to Elder Wuzang: "What about public opinion? ”

Elder Wuzang pondered for a moment and said:

"Mixed reputation."

"Some people think that the Demon Palace's cholera Lingyun Kingdom has joined the mercenaries to participate in the war, and some people think that we want to infect the secular world, so we have come up with a set of remarks about the Yin family's defection to the Demon Palace. Of course, more people are still in a wait-and-see state, and they don't care about themselves. ”

Lin Dongjiu bowed slightly, and Elder Xu Ming took the initiative to speak:

"The teleportation array from Blackwater City to Crescent City has failed, and it is estimated that the main array on the side of the Qingyuan Mountains has been destroyed by the Demon Temple."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Dongjiu responded simply, and then said to the three city lords: "Is the recruitment of mercenaries smooth?" ”

Leng Fei responded as a representative: "Counting the private armies of Blackwater City and Snow Man City, plus the mercenaries summoned from the major cities during this time, there are almost more than 30,000 people in total!" ”

Lin Dongjiu frowned and said, "Have you investigated?" ”

Leng Fei replied: "Every monk who came to sign up has used the little prince's talisman to check, but it has checked out many demons who want to blend in with the mercenaries. ”

"Of course, we just declared to the outside world that those demons were not qualified to apply, and secretly sent people to kill them."

Lin Dongjiu nodded with satisfaction, and then showed a smile to Yuan Cai and said:

"Brother Yuan, has the Scattered Cultivation Alliance settled down?"

Yuan Cai stood up "rubbing", where would he have thought that one day he would sit at a table with these big people, and the senator was still about a big battle to decide the future of Lingyun Country, hearing Lin Dongjiu call him, his nervous legs and stomach were clenching.

He tried his best to keep his voice from trembling, and said with a serious face:

"The 10,000 scattered cultivators of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance have been assembled, and the Zheng Alliance is ready to join the large army at any time!"

"Good!"

Lin Dongjiu's eyes flashed with cold light, he stood up, and said excitedly:

"Everyone, the Demon Temple has poisoned the Spirit Cloud Kingdom for many years, and now it's our turn to settle accounts with them!"

"Before noon today, we will strive to gather the armies of all parties, march towards Crescent City, and start fighting against the Demon Temple... Officially counteroffensive! ”

The cold wind was cold, the dark clouds covered the sun, and a murderous aura shrouded the Enlightenment Square of the Luoxia Sect.

As long as it wasn't a disciple who was seriously injured and affected the battle, they had all assembled in the square, and there were about five hundred people.

After Jiang Yunli's impassioned pre-war mobilization, the eyes of the disciples were full of flames of war, and they were full of murderous energy.

Everything is ready, the army is officially launched!

Su Ruxue and Yin Tao waved at the gate of the sect with tears to see Lin Dongjiu off, and Lin Dongjiu responded with a smile, and when he walked to the front of the team, his smile immediately retracted, and the momentum on his body changed drastically.

He carried the Qingguang Sword on his shoulder, and his whole person was like a living god of war, and his aura was compelling, even Jiang Yunli, He Qing and the others who were walking behind him were affected by his momentum, revealing a look of eagerness to enter the field and kill the enemy now.

Su Bei and several elders had already taken the lead in going to Blackwater City, and the team of the Luoxia Sect was led by him and went to Blackwater City to join the army.

Lin Dongjiu looked at the suddenly changing sky, and sighed in his heart, thinking that when the Luoxia Sect went to the Burial Dragon Mountain Range to train, he was still a fish-touching disciple who was mixed in the second team, and now he has become a leader who can take charge of himself and be admired by everyone.

But compared to the leader, he still wants to be a salted fish that can only bask in the sun, the kind with a very high salt content...

Thinking back to reality, the team he led marched quickly, and by the time they arrived in Blackwater City, the mercenary team of more than 10,000 people had just been assembled.

The mercenaries of Xueman City and Huoyang City will not come to Blackwater City to meet, and there is no need for this, so the mercenaries of these cities will go to Crescent City in three ways.

And I have to mention that although Huoyang City was broken by the Demon Palace, only Cen Tiancheng escaped from the city lord's lineage.

But this did not affect the Luoxia Sect's recruitment of troops in Huoyang City, and even the number of monks in Huoyang City who signed up for mercenaries was much higher than that of the other two major cities due to the destruction of their homes.

As night fell, the army of Blackwater City, led by Subei, marched towards Crescent City non-stop.

Due to the size of the army, the speed of the march slowed down, and it was estimated that it would be dawn to reach Crescent City at the earliest.

And there are many people, and the movement is naturally not small, and it is indispensable to be captured by King Gongsheng's spies along the way, but this is not a small fight like a sneak attack on the Imperial Holy City, but a confrontation between the two armies to decide life and death, of course, it can't be hidden.

...

At this time, inside the Imperial Palace.

King Gongsheng, dressed in a dark gold dragon robe, sat behind the desk, flipping through the information stacked into a hill on the table, his face gloomy and terrifying.

He raised his eyes to look at his henchmen below, and said in a deep voice:

"How many troops have the three city lords of the Imperial Holy City, the Northern Jade City, and the Lonely Blue City gathered so far? Have you brought the troops over? ”

The henchman replied: "The strength of the three cities is almost 20,000, and the three city lords have now personally led their troops to Crescent City to support. ”

"Twenty thousand?"

King Gongsheng's beard trembled, and he slammed the table:

"Do you know how many troops the Luoxia Sect has? Counting the remnants of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, there are a full 30,000 people! How will this battle be fought? You tell me how to fight! ”

The henchmen below crouched down and said cautiously:

"The prince can rest assured, Chen Hongyi has already set up a net in Crescent City, as long as the 100,000 troops of the Acropolis can be dragged to support, these rebels will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the prince's heart will be completely solved."

King Gong Sheng was a little more relieved at this time, and said:

"Have the leaders of all the large and small sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm sent invitations?"

The henchman lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's all arranged!" ”

King Gong Sheng squinted his eyes and explained:

"In this current situation, there is always a place where you can use those grass cowards, and the enthronement ceremony the day after tomorrow is a good opportunity to win people's hearts, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

...

The sun dawned, the morning light shimmered, and the silhouette of Crescent City loomed in the morning dew.

"Big brother, Crescent City is coming soon!"

After a night of marching, He Qing did not have any tired look in his eyes, but was full of energy and excited.

Jiang Yunli quipped from the side: "Yes, it's about to be a battle, if you can't fight at that time, remember to run behind me." ”

Not to be outdone, He Qing said: "Cut!" Senior Brother Jiang, don't be too complacent too early, the eldest brother has instructed me in several moves, and if Senior Brother Jiang has not killed as much as I have killed, don't cry your nose! ”

Jiang Yunli chuckled, "Hey! One Gu worm of mine can be worth the Tenth Army, and it is like a dragon entering the sea on the battlefield, just rely on your half-hanging swordsmanship, obediently hide behind me, don't go out blindly. ”

"Okay, when is it, and there is still leisure to talk about it!"

Lin Dongjiu scolded with a smile: "Senior Brother Jiang, you too, if you want to protect He Qing, just say it, why beat around the bush." ”

"I don't!"

Jiang Yunli turned his head and quickly denied it.

Suddenly, he turned his head again, and said in a very serious tone:

"Senior Brother Lin, if I can't come back from this battle... I would like to ask you to do me a favor. ”

He Qing complained: "Senior Brother Jiang, why did you say such depressing words before the war!" ”

Jiang Yunli waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "Senior Brother Lin, you must help me with this favor!" ”

Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows: "Say, what's the hurry?" ”

Jiang Yunli's eyes revealed memories and yearning:

"Senior Brother Lin, there was a girl named Lin Beibei from Luoxia Sect, but I haven't seen her since I met her."

He made a bow and said very solemnly:

"I want to ask you to help me find her, tell her that there is a man in this world who has been looking for her and loves her, if she can, I hope she can remember the name of that man, his name is Jiang Yunli..."

Lin Dongjiu's scalp was numb for a while, and he couldn't wait to chop Jiang Yunli on the spot:

"Stop! I've got you covered! Senior Brother Jiang, you are my brother, but don't say it again! ”

"Good brother!"

Jiang Yunli burst into tears and patted Lin Dongjiu's shoulder heavily.

He Qing on the side stepped forward and shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Big brother! ”

"The little brother also has something to ask for!"

Lin Dongjiu glanced at him and said coldly:

"I refuse!"

He Qing shouted: "Why Senior Brother Jiang's, mine can't, big brother, you treat it differently..."

Lin Dongjiu glared at him fiercely:

"No just no way! I don't know what kind of tricks you have for a bunny cub who hasn't grown yet? If you dare to mention it again, beware of me beating you! ”

"But I haven't mentioned it yet..."

He Qing wanted to cry without tears, but because of Lin Dongjiu's obscenity, he had to swallow his grievances into his stomach.

Lin Dongjiu turned his hands behind his back, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"It's here..."

Lin Dongjiu narrowed his eyes and walked to the front of the army.

The heat emitted by the morning sun dispelled the fog ahead, revealing a huge trench that separated Crescent City from the outside world, and the blackened defenders at the gate of Crescent City.

Looking at the defenders as dense as an ant colony, Lin Dongjiu made a slight rough estimate, I am afraid that there are more than 20,000 people!

Due to the proximity of Blackwater City to Crescent City, the other two large cities and the army of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance had not yet arrived, and only 10,000 of them were exposed to the enemy's vision.

As the commander of the first army, the Subei Sect Master waved his hand, and the troops in the rear immediately stopped in unison.

He glanced at Lin Dongjiu, who came to his side, and said in a solemn tone:

"Strange... Our reinforcements have not yet arrived, and it is a good opportunity for the Demon Temple to fight more and less, but they seem to be defending Crescent City, and they do not plan to take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that there is some ambush ahead. ”

Lin Dongjiu looked coldly at the defenders not far away, and said, "Since there is an ambush, let's wait for the city lord Cen to come." ”

Su Bei was the head of the jaw and ordered the garrison in situ.

About half an hour later, reinforcements from the Cen City Lord, the Gou City Lord, the Baicaodi, and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance arrived one after another.

After consolidating the team, the host sect master and other leaders quickly held a small meeting.

The main problem now is how to attack Blackwater City when you know that the Demon Temple is in ambush?

The proposal given by the city lord Cen was to select a hundred people to form an advance team, let them open the way, and test what kind of ambush was arranged in the demon hall, but it was vetoed by the city lord of Gou.

The reason she gave was that although these mercenaries were paid to do things, no one would really want to be pawns to find their way to death, and if they were to choose from them, the morale of the army would be scattered.

If you want to choose, you can only choose from the disciples of Luoxia Sect and Baicaodi.

However, Lin Dongjiu was still not optimistic about this decision, he believed that although the disciples of Luoxia Sect and Baicaodi were not as numerous as the mercenaries, they were much stronger than the mercenaries in terms of cohesion and comprehensive strength.

To put it mildly, the disciples of the sect are more expensive than the mercenaries, and if the disciples of the sect are sacrificed in vain, it is really putting the cart before the horse.

Besides, as long as the large army here does not move, Chen Yi can completely hide and not release, even if the advance team is allowed to cross the line, there are 20,000 troops guarding, what kind of storm can the small advance team set off?

Time passed minute by minute, Lin Dongjiu saw that this was not good, the march and battle were all about one blow, if it dragged on any longer, the blow to morale would be too great.

Can't put it off any longer... Lin Dongjiu and the others:

"In this way, I and the host sect master will step forward to open the way, and you will follow the second time, remember, this battle cannot be retreated!"

Su Bei frowned and said: "That's all, but it's still me and the Leng City Lord to open the way in front, you stay in the rear and follow the big army." ”

"It's different."

Lin Dongjiu smiled slightly: "The Demon Palace will not let me go first, and only if I take the lead, the Demon Palace will not be able to hold its breath and launch an ambush in advance." ”

Su Bei was persuaded, and the two of them moved and took the lead in rushing towards Crescent City.

"Keep up!"

Leng Fei gave the order, and the army immediately moved, and the marching speed was well controlled by him, and he followed behind Lin Dongjiu and the two unhurriedly, opening up a distance of almost a mile.

Lin Dongjiu had just run a short distance here, and he felt that this place was a little different from other places, and the aura seemed to be a little thinner.

He looked at the trench not far away, his divine sense swept to the rear army, and found that a third of the army had followed, while Chen Yi did not move at all, as if there was no ambush here.

Is it so stable... Lin Dongjiu's brows furrowed slightly, and a halo of light flowed behind his head, turning into a divine yang and rising.

Su Bei glanced at Lin Dongjiu in surprise, all his energy in the past two days had been focused on preparing for battle, but he hadn't had time to ask Lin Dongjiu how many exercises he had comprehended in the forbidden land.

Looking at the Shenyang behind Lin Dongjiu's head now, there is only appreciation and relief left in his heart.

Luoxia Sect can produce a genius disciple like Lin Dongjiu, so why worry about revival!

Lin Dongjiu grabbed Shenyang and shouted, "Sect Master! ”

Su Bei immediately understood, with one arm, two divine suns emitting blazing light condensed in his hands, and together with Lin Dongjiu, he quickly attacked the defenders of Crescent Moon City.

Just as they were about to cross the trench, Lin Dongjiu felt a strong formation fluctuation emanating from them, and a majestic murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire audience.

It's a killing array, and sure enough, there is an ambush!

Lin Dongjiu's heart sank, and in his sight, four stone pillars broke out from the edge of the battlefield, bursting out with a dazzling light that shot straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, I saw waves of fiery red heat rushing out from the ground, turning into flames and sweeping in with the momentum of a prairie fire.

I also saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, thunder exploding, and dark purple thunderbolts looming in the clouds, as if they would split down at any moment, turning the space into charcoal.

The fire like a wave surged across the earth, and when it was about to flow past the foot of Lin Dongjiu and Subei at the front, it was divided into two and rushed to both sides.

"Six days together, ten thousand fires will not invade!"

Su Bei subconsciously shouted out and said in surprise: "Good boy! ”

"Boom!"

An explosion drowned out Su Bei's voice, and he jerked his head up, and a pillar of thunder as thick as an arm was reflected in his pupils, slashing down towards their heads.

Su Bei snorted coldly, and with a wave of his big sleeves, the thunder pillar disappeared in an instant.

Although the thunder and fire in the sky could not hurt the two of them in the slightest, the extremely fast spreading fire and the thunder pillars that kept chopping down made the rear army chaotic, especially the one-third of the mercenaries who entered the big array, and they turned their heads in a panic and wanted to run out of the big array.

"Defectors, no mercy!"

Several city lords and several elders leaped up, caught a few people who had lost their armor, and immediately killed them.

Elder Xu Ming threw out a few array disks in front of him, and those array disks emitted a soft light, protecting the army in it, temporarily blocking the attack of the killing array.

Although the army stabilized, there were still people who were scared and trembled, and their faces were like ashes.

Seeing this, Lin Dongjiu hurriedly played the Nine Flames Burning Dragon Decision, and then operated the Root Spirit Creation Decision, releasing the two giant beasts of the Blue Dragon Xuanwu.

The fire dragon and the green dragon lay on both sides, forcibly parting the sea of fire and opening up a path to come out, while Xuanwu stretched out four thighs like heavenly pillars and carried down the Dao Dao Thunder Pillar descending from the sky.

Jiang Yunli reacted the fastest and yelled:

"Attack!!"

"Kill!!"

The disciples of the Luoxia Sect on the left flank took the lead in charging, and with them starting the group, the remaining army naturally had the confidence, and as they entered the killing formation, under the protection of Lin Dongjiu, they rushed towards the trench.

Trenches were erected one by one, and the warriors rushed across the wooden bridge at great speed in three steps and two steps, killing the defenders outside Crescent.

But just when everything was going well, the mutation was born again.

Pitch-black claws poked out of the trench one by one, shattering the wooden bridge erected on the trench, causing many disciples and mercenaries who were crossing the bridge to fall, let out a scream and then no longer sound.

Lin Dongjiu gritted his teeth, and countless rune chains flew out behind him, intertwining into a huge net in the air, and buckled upside down on the trench, serving as a new bridge for the army to charge.

The claws tore at the runic webs above their heads like madness, but wherever they were torn apart, new rune chains were added to keep the monsters trapped in the trenches.

At this time, Lin Dongjiu's face was pale, cold sweat flowed, and the huge consumption of spiritual power made him weak all over, and it seemed that even one more word would make everything he had done go down the drain.

Fortunately, the army passed very quickly, and they were also afraid that the bridge under their feet would disappear at any time, and they did not dare to linger on the bridge for a moment.

As the last mercenary passed through the trench, Lin Dongjiu was finally able to withdraw all his moves, he gasped for breath, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Su Bei hurriedly supported Lin Dongjiu and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Dongjiu swallowed a handful of the spirit pill and said, "The sect master doesn't have to worry about me, let's go and lead the troops first." ”

"Stay safe."

Su Bei bowed slightly, and flew towards the sky above Crescent City.

Lin Dongjiu sat cross-legged on the ground, fighting his fate to turn the five elements and ten thousand ways to restore the lost aura, and at the same time divided his mind and observed the movements on the battlefield.

The war has completely begun, the powerful mana hedge has beaten the earth to the ground, countless stumps and fragments are flying all over the sky, and the smell of blood has aroused the ferocity of the soldiers, in the interweaving of roars, explosions, and wails, pushing the tragedy of the war to the peak.

He saw He Qing wielding a long sword and cutting off the heads of his enemies; Seeing Jiang Yunli manipulating the Gu worm, he only saw white bones everywhere he passed; Seeing that every disciple of the Luoxia Sect rushed to the forefront, fearless of life and death, fighting bloodily...

From attacking Fengyinmen, eradicating traitors, and then defending Blackwater City, after these large and small battles, the Luoxia Sect has completely swept away, and the disciples are growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and fortunately, thanks to the previous ups and downs, the word unity can be deeply rooted in the bones of every disciple.

Otherwise, in today's battle, you may not be able to see the disciples of the Luoxia Sect who regard death as life and rest assured that they will hand over their backs to their companions.

And if the place where the armies of the two sides fought is called the first battlefield, then the second battlefield is in the distant sky.

Lin Dongjiu looked at it, and there were five overhauls of the sea realm: Subei, Weixinghai, Leng Fei, Gou Rong, and Cen Tiancheng.

And against them, he saw Chen Yi, saw Luo Suifeng, the master of the Fengyin Gate, and three strange men with the same strong breath, presumably the three city lords of Gongsheng City, Northern Jade City, and Lonely Blue City, it can be said that in the second battlefield, the strongest combat power of the Lingyun Kingdom is gathered here.

The battle between them, even the Infant Transformation Realm cultivator could not intervene, any move played by any one of them would release a palpitating terrifying aura, if it were not for the intention of both sides to stay away from the first battlefield, the aftermath of the battle they caused would inadvertently take the lives of countless people below.

And the mana confrontation between them is as colorful as a firework, the blue sky seems to be covered with a layer of black cloth, the surrounding void has broken cracks, and the void storm released inside carries a strong suction, sucking the air and dust into it, emitting bursts of whining wails, as if complaining that if this war does not end, this place will turn into nothingness.

However, in Lin Dongjiu's opinion, this war is also coming to an end.

Because of the overhaul of the old Sea Expansion Realm like Subei and Weixinghai, almost no one in the enemy camp is their opponent, and with the two of them as the leader, the outcome of this war is almost no suspense.

In other words, from the beginning of planning this war, Lin Dongjiu has unparalleled self-confidence, because he has already handled the details of the early stage one by one, and the situation has been controlled by him very well, and now that the general trend of the Demon Palace has gone, there is no reason to lose this battle, and it is impossible to lose!
