Chapter 680 - The Storm Begins

Xichen asked Yang Guang to gather an army, the purpose was to launch a war against the Tang State again, of course, Xichen was not to help Yang Guang dominate the world, he never cared about the gains and losses of these secular dynasties, but had other purposes.

Now that the Sacred House has lost one after another, he desperately needs a victory to prove his ability and not be liquidated afterwards.

Dealing with Tang Guo was not the main goal, what he wanted was to be able to completely dismantle the academy, which was not only a great achievement, but also could get more information, much faster than his own blind exploration.

After so many years of accumulation in the academy, Xichen definitely didn't believe that there was no information about the origin and imprint in it, because with the existence of the academy dean, the information could only be hidden.

In the past, I tried not to have too much conflict with the academy, for fear of angering the dean of the academy and affecting the next actions, but now I don't have to have so many scruples!

Compared with the threat of the academy dean, the consequences of the failure of the mission are obviously more serious, if you continue to use these unreliable information of the Nanban, you will always have to be one step slower in doing things, maybe when the Taoist Sect and the Buddha Land have already gained something, there will still be nothing on their side!

Moreover, it has been a while since he came to the Nether, but he has never seen the dean return, and the description of his strength is inevitably exaggerated.

Come to think of it, no matter how strong the academy dean is, he is only limited by the lower realm, where is the opponent of the upper realm immortals, maybe he will be captured or killed long ago, don't worry too much!

And this time to do it to Tang Guo, Xichen also wanted to try if he could bring Lu Ji's soul body back, although that guy was a waste, but now he is really no one available!

He was also puzzled in his heart, it was said that Shi Qing'er should have come back a long time ago, but there was no news for a long time, such a strong man in the infant god stage disappeared silently, without splashing a little splash, which is very unreasonable!

It's just that Xichen didn't have a clue for a while, and the biggest possibility he could think of was that the Dao Sect and the Buddha Land had made a move on Shi Qing'er, and he really couldn't figure out who else could pose such a big threat to Shi Qing'er!

Now that I think about it, I am really not qualified as a team leader, Lu Ji and Shi Qing'er have had accidents one after another, but the things explained by the Holy Court have not made much progress.

Yangguang's work efficiency is still very fast, and the domestic army has been assembled, and he can start an expedition at any time.

Ever since he succeeded to the throne of the Southern Barbarians, his control over this kingdom has been increasing day by day, and now there is no power to compete with it except Xiao Se!

Regardless of whether the civil and military generals in the country were convinced of him or disobeyed him, he actually held the greatest power and was the only monarch in the Southern Barbarians today.

"Xiao Se, that damn guy, this time it should be the end of the road!" Yang Guang thought so in his heart.

He transferred Murong Ba back to serve as the commander of the army, with this famous general in charge, coupled with Xichen's combat power that far exceeded the standard of the Metaverse martial artist, it was not difficult to destroy Xiao Se and level the Tang Kingdom!

Leading the army to fight is different from fighting, and it requires extremely unique and keen judgment on the arrangement of battle formations, the insight of people's hearts and the prediction of the situation, and Murong Ba is one of the best!

As a qualified commander, his own combat power is still secondary, and the most important thing is to gather the strength of the army, give full play to the subjective initiative of each soldier, and form an unstoppable joint force to crush the opponent!

This is not something that can be easily done, so there has been a saying throughout the ages that "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find", which has a basis.

However, the battle array between the worlds has lost its due significance for a powerhouse of Xichen's level, even if these people stand in place and withstand the attack, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to cause damage to them, and their casual attacks are a catastrophe for these soldiers!

Yang Guang has long wanted to destroy Xiao Se and then move eastward, not only because of the long-standing feud between the Southern Barbarians and the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, because the Tang State is rich, only by annexing the Tang State, can he have the possibility of competing with the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom and competing for the world!

As for the Western Wilderness, Yang Guang didn't care very much, although the strength of those people was not weak, but the resources were scarce, if he sent a large army to conquer them, it would definitely be worth the loss!

If he can destroy the Eastern Tang Dynasty and subdue the Northern Desert, then the Western Wilderness will not be able to turn up any big waves! When the time comes, you can just give them some benefits, and you can truly become the co-master of the world!

Although Yang Guang killed his father and usurped the throne, he himself didn't think so, these are what he deserves, his father is already old, and his virtue is not worthy, so he should abdicate and make way for Xian!

He always believes that he is the one who is destined to lead Nanban to the road of prosperity!

"Ancestors and ancestors, just keep your eyes open and watch carefully, I Yangguang will become the real 'Emperor of the Ages'!" Thinking so in his heart, the fist in his sleeve clenched unconsciously.

Under the pressure of Murong Ba's integrated army, even Xichen did not show up, and Xiao Se's side was defeated and retreated.

It is not unreasonable for Murong Ba to be called a famous general, he is well versed in the way of using soldiers, and when he lets go of his hands and feet to target Xiao Se with all his might, the latter is a little unbearable!

The main reason why Xiao Se was able to gradually develop before was that Nanban divided the battle line into two, and the defeat on the Eastern Tang side also affected the battle against Xiao Se.

But now that Murong Ba has integrated the elite combat power of the Southern Barbarians, there will be no luck, and no matter how hard Xiao Se struggles, he finally has to sigh "Manpower is sometimes poor"!

At this time, unlike in the past, when Yang Guang had just usurped the throne, the loyal ministers and good generals and people with lofty ideals in the Southern Barbarians had a strong rejection of Yang Guang, and when Xiao Se stepped forward, they would become a help behind him.

But with the passage of time, Yang Guang's power in Nanban has been consolidated, and now he is a real monarch, becoming a king or defeating a king, driven by interests, how many people will care about the usurpation of the throne at the beginning, I am afraid that only Xiao Se, a dead eye, is still confronting Yang Guang!

Now Yang Guang is the orthodoxy of the Southern Barbarians, and Xiao Se, the guy who intends to overturn the case, is a chaotic minister and thief, and the things of the world are so ridiculous and impermanent!

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Xiao Se finally wins, what can he do? Is it true that the princess will inherit the throne and become the empress? Don't be funny, they can't accept such a thing that violates the ancestral etiquette!

Nowadays, there are many people who think that there is nothing wrong with Yang Guang being the emperor, except for those who oppose it, as long as they support it, they and their families can still get benefits, anyway, whoever is the emperor is not doing it, as long as their interests are not damaged!

Under the collapse of the army this time, the army led by Xiao Se was defeated on all fronts, and only he led a personal army to kill it, and then disappeared!

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers under Xiao Se are still a group of hard bones, that is, after the defeat, those who are willing to surrender are very few, and the consequence of this is a large-scale massacre, it is not an exaggeration to say that "blood flows like a river, and corpses are everywhere"!

Under the fortified city guarded by Xiao Se, the heads of people were piled up into high hills, and the scene was shocking!

Murong Ba is not a soft-hearted person, he just wants to use this bloody means to deter people with two hearts, anyone who goes against Nanban and his Murong family will end up like this!

Immediately afterwards, Murong Ba led the army to march eastward, and now that there is no Xiao Se making trouble in the Southern Barbarians, they can deal with the Eastern Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly.

Now that he has the help of Xichen, he doesn't have to worry about those high-end combat power of the Tang Kingdom, as for who is the blade in whose hand, this kind of thing doesn't really matter, as long as Nanban can get benefits in it!

Among the generals of the Tang Kingdom, only Forestry and Xue Potian are worthy of his attention, as for the rest, they are just a group of local chickens and dogs, who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and they can only flee under the iron hooves of the Southern Barbarians, where is his enemy?

And when Nanban's side started to move, Dongtang's side naturally received the news, and Dongtang has actually maintained a considerable degree of attention to this old opponent.

Although the "World Warping Tang" failed before, but the Nanban side has always been a thief, judging from the news obtained this time, it was led by Murong Ba himself, and the turmoil in the territory had been pacified before that, Xiao Se was defeated and fled without a trace, and the entire territory of Nanban is now under the control of Yang Guang and the Murong family, and the combat power that the Nanban army can exert will inevitably be further improved!

The news was informed to Lin Yan by Emperor Tang for the first time, and now the two sides are in a cooperative relationship of mutual help, and the previous battles have also proved Lin Yan's strength and ability, for Tang Guo, this is a rare partner!

With the development of Momen in Chang'an, many ministers in the court and China complained about this matter, and repeatedly admonished the Tang Emperor, believing that the development of Momen should be curbed, otherwise it would threaten the rule of imperial power.

In this regard, Tang Huang was noncommittal. Although any emperor has a strong desire to control power, Li Junlin is completely at ease with Lin Yan, not only because Lin Yan turned the tide and saved the royal family from fire and water, but more importantly, he understands Lin Yan's heart, this person's purpose is not on the dragon chair of imperial power, Li Junlin suspects that he took the initiative to give him the throne, and Lin Yan will never accept it!

Since this is the case, Li Junlin doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as Lin Yan is still this Momen for a day, then no matter how fast Momen develops, it will be a beneficial and harmless thing for Tang Guo.

Lin Yan and Xiao Miaozhi made an analysis of the situation in front of them, Nanban made a move, this matter seemed very sudden, because the timing was too sensitive!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan said: "It seems that the previous news is correct, the Holy Courtyard is the person behind Nanban!" ”

Xiao Miaozhi nodded and said, "There is a great possibility that this sudden attack by the Southern Barbarians against the Eastern Tang Dynasty was instructed by the people of the Holy Academy, but I don't know what their purpose is?" ”

Lin Yan said: "The Holy Court will not be interested in the hegemony of the secular dynasty, and it is impossible for Yang Guang to command these Holy Court powerhouses to do something, so there is only one possibility, this is the Holy Court taking the initiative to promote, to be precise, it is the meaning of that Xichen!" ”

Momen has its own intelligence network, and although this kind of thing is classified, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and it is not difficult to get a name.

Lin Yan paused, and then said: "If there is anything in this Metaverse that Xichen cares about, it is only the origin and the imprint!" ”

Xiao Miaozhi said: "But Tang Guo has no news about this?" Could it be that the news of your fusion origin has leaked, so he wants to deal with you? ”

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "This is not very likely, because only a few of you know about my fusion of origins, and the news will not leak out in such a short period of time." Moreover, if he really knew that the origin was in my hands, he would have come to the door to kill me a long time ago, and he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths! ”

Xiao Miaozhi said: "Could it be...... Yang Zizhen? ”

As Lin Yan said, there are not many people who know about this, and the only person she doesn't trust is Yang Zizhen, this guy is not from the Metaverse in the first place, if it weren't for the suppression of the academy dean, it would be impossible for this guy to fight side by side with herself and others.

Xiao Miaozhi has always been deeply wary of her, she has no doubt that as long as there is a chance, this guy will definitely slap them behind her back, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will not know how to die!

Lin Yan thought for a while, and continued to shake his head: "He is indeed not credible, but he will not release this kind of news at this time, because it will not be beneficial to him at all, but it may be affected and put himself in danger." ”

"Moreover, now that he has lost his hard-earned body again, this is not a good time to turn against us, although this guy is insidious, but he is not stupid, the dean is still in the world, he will not do this kind of self-digging grave thing!"

Lin Yan seemed to think of something, and said, "I think there is a possibility, this time Xichen's target is the academy itself!" ”

Xiao Miaozhi was puzzled: "Although there is no tangible basis, there are various signs that these people from the upper realm have maintained a considerable degree of restraint so far to avoid direct conflict with the academy, and I think it should also be a fear of the academy dean!" ”

"It stands to reason that before the victory or defeat of the battle above, these people should not take the initiative to have a big dispute with the academy, but should focus on finding the origin and imprint, which is also the purpose of their nether realm this time. But now Xichen is abnormal, what is there in the academy that attracts him? ”

Lin Yan didn't reply, but he thought in his heart: "Perhaps, it's not that the academy attracts him, but that apart from the academy, he can't think of any other way to break the situation!" ”

Xichen's action is a signal, the Taoist Sect and the Buddha Land will not be willing to be lonely, a wave of unsettled waves and waves, it is really a mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!
