A group of sect cultivators in Jinyun Valley were ambushed by immortal cultivators from enemy countries when they were exploring in the territory of Feng Kingdom.

The number of immortal cultivators in ambush was three times that of Jinyun Valley, and the leader was overhauled in the later stage of foundation building.

At that time, there were dozens of monks in that group, and they were intercepted from front to back, and almost all of them were wiped out, and none of the three monks who led the team returned.

Lin Lu was unfortunate to be in that group of monks.

Zhao Siyao described in the letter: Lin Lu did not die on the spot, and with his high-quality escape talisman, he barely broke through a distance, and was chased and killed by the overhaul in the later stage of foundation building.

After that battle, Lin Lu did not return and disappeared without a trace on the battlefield of Fengguo.

Zhang Tieshan searched afterwards and inquired many times, but there was no news.

Lu Changan sighed secretly, this situation can be described as very rare.

In the middle stage of foundation building with ordinary strength, he was deeply trapped in the enemy territory in the Immortal Cultivation War and was chased and besieged.

If you don't come back in the short term, you will basically never come back.

In terms of personal relationships, Lu Changan felt sorry and even a trace of pity.

After all, it is the younger generation who has been filial piety for so many years.

But from a neutral point of view, or from the perspective of an immortal cultivator in the Feng Kingdom, this matter is not worthy of sympathy.

Because, the Liang State Sect, and even Lin Lu, belonged to the invaders' side.

"On the battlefield of Fengguo today, I don't know what the battle situation is?"

Lu Changan pondered.

For the overall situation of the immortal cultivation world, he has always paid more attention.

Even if Zhao Siyao knew the specific information on the battlefield, it was difficult to disclose it in the letters.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao said that it was inconvenient to leave the sect and hoped that Lu Changan would go to Jinyun Valley.

Lu Changan speculated from this that Zhao Siyao entered a "locked" state of combat readiness in the list of the second batch of sects, and it was not easy to leave Jinyun Valley.

For this female friend who has known each other for more than 100 years and trusts each other, Lu Changan inevitably has a trace of worry.

On the battlefield of cultivating immortals, whether or not you can protect yourself is only one aspect.

The big picture of the battlefield, as well as luck, are important factors.

……

On the second day after receiving the letter, Lu Changan left Wuqi Mountain in a low-key manner and flew to the western part of Liang State.

Seven or eight days later.

Lu Chang'an stepped on the blue light and arrived in front of the gate of Jinyun Valley Mountain.

Compared with the past, the atmosphere in Jinyun Valley was more solemn, and most of the sect monks who came and went looked urgent.

After the briefing.

Zhao Siyao came out from the mountain gate.

The mountain breeze blows the long white dress, outlining her plump and outstanding figure.

Zhao Siyao looks twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a phoenix hairpin, picturesque eyebrows, and beautiful and refined.

Compared with previous years, and even when the foundation was first built, it was more elegant and calm.

"Lu Daoyou, you're here."

"Zhao Daoyou."

The two looked at each other, smiled on their chins, and did not have too many greetings and politeness.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao flew side by side and entered the latter's cave.

There is a lotus pond in the middle of the cave, which is fragrant and fragrant, and the surrounding pavilions and water pavilions are connected.

"Lu Daoyou, I have you to come over this time."

Zhao Siyao sent off the maidservant, behaved generously, took the mountain spring water flowing in the cave, and made a pot of spiritual tea for Lu Chang'an.

The two chatted for a while, and inevitably mentioned that Lin Lu was trapped in the battlefield of Fengguo, and felt very regretful.

Judging from the available intelligence information, Lin Lujiu died for life.

Even if he didn't die by luck, most of them were captured alive, and the end was not much better.

……

Subsequently, Lu Changan went straight to the point and asked about the situation on the battlefield in Fengguo.

Zhao Siyao muttered: "Two years ago, the Liang State Sect called on the major forces, the first batch of monk armies, to invade the Feng Kingdom from the rear from south to north. In the early days of the war, the Feng Kingdom fought on both sides, and it was overwhelming, and the immortal cultivation forces in the rear were defeated one after another......"

The first part of the narrative is known to the monks who pay attention to the battlefield.

The expedition of the Liang State was relatively smooth, occupying the spiritual land of the Immortal City and plundering a lot of resources.

There have been some good news one after another, which is encouraging.

"However, the Feng Kingdom has a vast territory and many immortal cultivation forces, and its heritage is not comparable to that of the Liang Kingdom. When the first army of monks went deeper into the territory of the Feng Kingdom, they faced great resistance.

"The enemy's immortal cultivation forces, if they are defeated head-on, adopt the strategy of clearing the wilderness. The armies of Liang monks were often attacked by enemies in the abdomen, ambushed, or attacked by immortal cultivators in the rear strongholds......"

Zhao Siyao's voice was pleasant, but her tone was solemn.

"A small country invades a big country, and there is also a gap in the heritage of cultivating immortal civilization."

Lu Changan secretly said that he was not surprised by the current situation.

The territory of the Feng Kingdom is much larger than the Yan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom combined.

The strategic depth is very broad.

Inheriting the heritage and fighting locally, this is the advantage of Fengguo.

In addition to the original three Yuanying-level forces in the Feng Kingdom, there are also many powerful sects, and the power of the Xiuxian family is far greater than that of the Liang Kingdom.

"Yuanying Zhenjun from the Fire Palace, have you ever made a move?"

Lu Changan asked.

The two or three existing Yuanying in the Feng State were restrained by Chu Tianfeng in the frontal battlefield and the Yuanying Zhenjun in the Chen State, and they would not be easily dispatched.

"It is said that there was a shot once to conquer the important immortal city. But in the future, out of some scruples, he did not intervene in the war head-on. ”

Zhao Siyao replied.

"Some scruples?"

Lu Chang'an looked puzzled.

What can make Yuanying Zhenjun scruple is only the same level of deterrence.

In the face of the Feng Kingdom, it is impossible to send a Yuan Ying for a long time to deal with the invasion of the Liang State Sect, and it can only be an occasional emergency.

Otherwise, in the early stage of Yuan Ying, who has been alone for a long time, it is easy to be attacked by Chu Tianfeng, even if it is only seriously injured, it will have a great impact on the situation.

"According to rumors, this matter is related to the sword cultivation of the 'Blood Sword Valley' of the Feng Kingdom who was destroyed and escaped from the Yuan Infant."

Zhao Siyao didn't look so sure, and she was talking about grapevine.

The "Blood Sword Valley" of Feng State, with a slightly remote geographical location, was once attacked by Chu Tianfeng of Yan State and joined forces with Chen State's sect.

"That sword cultivator in the Blood Sword Valley was the first infant of the former Feng Country, and his strength was the strongest. At the beginning, Chu Tian was blocked in the middle of the Yuan Infant of Yan Kingdom, and this person even took the initiative to face the battle, causing Chu Tianfeng to suffer some injuries. ”

"This sword cultivator powerhouse, his Yuan Ying has fled, and it is rumored that he is behind the scenes, commanding the remnants of the Blood Sword Valley. With the assistance of the other two Yuanying Sects, the Blood Sword Valley was dormant and garrisoned in the southern part of the Feng Kingdom. ”

Hearing this, Lu Changan had a general understanding of the situation on the front line.

The first cultivator of the Blood Sword Valley who escaped from the Yuan Infant was obviously not an ordinary Yuan Infant early stage.

If the sect has the pinnacle of the same origin exercise, let it stay in the flesh, there is no need to fight with the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Fire Palace, just launch an attack, and it will also be a dimensionality reduction blow for the Yuanying below.

With the behind-the-scenes command of this Yuanying Zhenjun, coordinating the response, it has a lot of constraints on the invasion strategy of the Liang State.

Not even a possibility is ruled out. The Yuanying Sword Cultivator of the Blood Sword Valley has reached some tacit understanding with the Yuanying True Monarch of the Lihuo Palace, and there are certain restrictions on each other's shots.

"On the whole, the Liang Sect is still attacking the aggressor, but the situation is not so smooth."

……

After chatting about the battlefield of neighboring countries, Zhao Siyao mentioned his own situation.

She is the second batch of sect monks to go on the expedition, and as the late stage of foundation building, her responsibilities are higher than Lin Lu.

Invading neighboring countries presents both opportunities and risks.

Judging from the initial stage of the expedition, the opportunities clearly outweigh the dangers.

At least, the casualties of the Liang State were much lower than those of the Feng State.

Some of the invading Liang monks gained wealth and resources that were difficult to accumulate in several lifetimes.

Including the town clan exercises and inheritance treasures of certain forces, and the chances and secrets of individual monks.

During the war, the number of monks who broke through the bottleneck increased by a few percent compared to usual.

The premise of all this is to survive.

Zhao Siyao, like Zhang Tieshan, has a demand for high-quality war preparation materials.

"In order to buy Lu Daoyou's high-grade talismans and puppets, Si Yao has accumulated spirit stones for several years, including the reserve of knots."

Zhao Siyao's clear eyes looked a little expectant.

Over the past 100 years.

At the critical juncture, the talisman or puppet she obtained from Lu Changan exceeded expectations and played a good role.

"Then it depends on how well prepared Zhao Daoyou is."

Lu Changan smiled slightly.

For Zhao Siyao, he trusts him more and can show some strategic materials that exceed the standard.

In the subsequent transaction, Zhao Siyao lamented that his spirit stones were not enough.

The high-quality talismans that Lu Changan took out included second-order top-level, and even quasi-third-order.

Among them, there are also some talismans with special abilities, which are very rare in the market.

In terms of puppets, they took out a second-order high-grade product, and they were able to contain a late-stage foundation building at a critical moment.

Zhao Siyao's spirit stones, accumulated for many years, are still inferior to Zhang Tieshan.

She made a difficult choice and bought some second-order high-grade, top-notch talismans.

Quasi-third-order talisman, only one was bought.

The puppets of the late second order can no longer afford it.

"This turtle puppet is inferior to the second-order upper grade, and its defense power has completely reached the late second-order stage. If Zhao Daoyou needs it, he can sell it at a relatively low price. ”

Lu Changan took the initiative to sell.

Back then, when he attacked a second-order high-grade puppet master, there was once a failed product of a turtle puppet, and his defense power was not to be said.

The price quoted by Lu Changan was only slightly higher than that of an ordinary second-order mid-grade puppet.

Zhao Siyao was very moved, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, squeezed it again, and used some pills and materials to deduct and buy this turtle puppet.

She sighed: "Xu is related to turtles. ”

"Back then, in the Qingying Secret Realm, that turtle puppet responded to the crisis at a critical moment and played a good role, after being repaired by Lu Daoyou, I gave it to Tan'er a few years ago."

Lu Changan quipped, "The turtle puppet here is cheap and durable, but it doesn't fit the temperament of Fairy Zhao." ”

"There's nothing wrong with a turtle, it's good to live a long life."

Zhao Siyao smiled with her eyebrows, her clear and delicate eyes, and looked at Lu Changan, her eyes softened, as if she was a little envious.

Lu Chang'an's heart skipped a slight beat, and he almost thought that this woman could see some of her details.

"In addition to buying war materials, Si Yao also has one thing to ask for."

Zhao Siyao got up suddenly, with a solemn expression and a bow.

"Zhao Daoyou doesn't have to be like this, please speak up if you have something."

Lu Changan also got up, raised his hand and gently supported Fairy Zhao's soft treachery.

"At our age, we don't have any relatives in the world. Si Yao went to Liang Country this time, and she didn't dare to guarantee that she would definitely come back, only Tan'er, a personal disciple, made me worry. ”

"Lu Daoyou acted steadily and had insight into the world of cultivating immortals. In case I can't come back, I hope Lu Daoyou can take a little care and point out Zhao Tan'er. ”

Zhao Siyao's words have a kind of meaning to explain the future.

"I should do this. I believe that Ji people have their own natural appearance and will not come to that point. ”

Lu Chang'an said.

Judging from the current battle situation, the mortality rate of the Zongmen expedition is not particularly high, but there is a lack of manpower on the front line.

But the battlefield is unforgiving and unpredictable.

Even if it is a real person, there is no guarantee that he will be able to come back.

Zhao Siyao explained the aftermath in advance, which is a rational behavior.

……

After talking about business, the two chatted deeply for a long time until the evening.

In a hundred years of immortal cultivation, there are too many pasts worth remembering.

In particular, this will probably be the last time we will meet, and both sides will cherish it extraordinarily.

During this period, the eyes of the two met from time to time, gentle and tacit, and occasionally smiled without saying a word.

It's getting late.

Zhao Siyao had no intention of sending off guests, and Lu Changan consciously got up and said goodbye.

Zhao Siyao let out a light "um", looked at the young man in white, and did not politely hold back.

She sent Lu Changan outside the cave mansion.

Under the hazy night.

Lu Changan looked back and found that the white dress, elegant and cold, was staring at him, silently watching.

"Zhao Daoyou, I wish this trip to Fengguo, smooth sailing, and get Dan resources. When it comes back, we'll have a drink together. ”

Lu Changan waved goodbye and broke through the air.

……

After leaving the Golden Cloud Valley.

Lu Changan flew in mid-air, recalling the previous conversation, revealing a thoughtful look.

Zhao Siyao is very similar to him emotionally, and she is more self-conscious.

"That talisman, I hope you will never use it on the battlefield."

Lu Changan muttered in his heart.

It turned out that he quietly left a treasure talisman in the turtle puppet he sold to Zhao Siyao, and in the warehouse inlaid with spirit stones.

Zhao Siyao is the only monk in this life who has received this gift.
