Looking at their puzzled eyes, Jia Xu sighed lightly and said, "In the eyes of the Tianwu Clan, they have always believed that there is a certain big force standing behind the Northern Qin Kingdom, so the space blockade array they have arranged at the moment is obviously to imprison the teleportation array of Yuntong Pass and prevent more strong people from teleporting over. ”

"Therefore, in the case of using this formation, the only possibility is that the Tianwu Clan is preparing to attack Yuntong Pass again, and will definitely send a more powerful powerhouse, which is very likely to be a martial artist in the late stage of the Breaking Dan and Returning to the Ruins Realm."

"In this case, if Your Majesty comes back, it will be dangerous, once Your Majesty has an accident, our entire Northern Qin Kingdom will be finished!"

Di Qing's faces changed suddenly when they heard this.

In Yuntong Pass, there is no strong man who can fight against the late stage of the Broken Dan Returning to the Ruins Realm!

If it really comes, then Yuntong Pass is in danger!

Now they understand why Jia Xu said that Lu Zihong can't come back now, which is a good thing for the Northern Qin Kingdom.

"Looks like we're going to face a bloody battle next!" Di Qing said.

"Even if we die in this Yuntong Pass, we must not allow the army of the Tianwu Clan to enter the Northern Qin Kingdom!" Yang Zaixing said.

"That's right, this battle, when the blood fights to the end!" Zhao Yun also said in a deep voice.

They never thought about the retreat.

Because Yuntong Pass is the gateway to the northern border of the Northern Qin Kingdom, and it is the only way for the barbarian iron horsemen on the Yeqi grassland to enter the northern territory on a large scale.

Defending Yuntong Pass can completely block the way for the Tianwu Clan to invade the Northern Qin Kingdom.

Once Yuntong Pass is lost and the enemy army invades, it will be able to attack the northern hinterland of the Northern Qin Kingdom from multiple directions, and even make a detour to the east and west.

The integration of the Barbarian Iron Cavalry by the Heavenly Witch Clan, coupled with their own army of the Heavenly Witch Clan, was enough to pull the entire Northern Qin Kingdom into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, Di Qing and the others have no choice, they must defend Yuntong Pass!

Only in this way can the large-scale invasion of the Heavenly Witch Clan be contained!

So, it can't be withdrawn!

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Di Qing looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"Yuntong Pass can't be lost, but only Yuntong Pass can't be lost!" Jia Xu said.

Di Qing frowned slightly, and said, "What does the prime minister mean to give up the two positions of Falling Ghost Slope and Lihua Ridge?" ”

"That's right."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Since it has been concluded that the enemy will send the powerhouses of the late stage of the Broken Dangui Ruins Realm to attack Yuntong Pass, then we should gather all our forces in Yuntong Pass and defend it with the help of the Yuntong Pass city wall and the large array of city protection." ”

"If we continue to defend the Fallen Ghost Slope and Lihua Ridge, it will only disperse our garrison forces and give the enemy a chance to break through one by one!"

Di Qing, as a top general, understood what Jia Xu meant after a little contemplation, and said, "Okay, just follow what the prime minister said." ”

Then he looked at Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun, and said, "Two generals, you should immediately go and withdraw the troops of Falling Ghost Slope and Lihualing now." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun immediately received their orders.

Soon, the two of them brought the troops from the two positions back to Yuntong Pass.

A full 200,000 army is sitting in Yuntong Pass, under the leadership of Di Qing, ready to fight!

……

"Report!"

"General, the scout has come to report that all the troops on the enemy's Ghost Slope and Lihua Ridge have withdrawn!"

In the barbarian barracks, the adjutant general hurriedly found the main general Na Kunping to report.

"Withdrawn?"

Na Kunping was stunned for a moment, but soon frowned slightly, and said: "It seems that Lu Zihong realized that our Tianwu Clan would have a master coming, so he withdrew the army of these two dangerous places and concentrated all his forces in Yuntong Pass!" ”

"In this way, there are 200,000 troops in Yuntong Pass, coupled with the strong city walls and the strong city protection array, the defensive strength of Yuntong Pass has increased significantly!"

"So what?"

Ruiling Tianwu snorted disdainfully: "As long as we wait for Haosong Tianwu to arrive and let him kill Lu Zihong and the rest of the high-level combat forces of Yuntong Pass, the remaining troops and minions will not be our opponents at all, and this Yuntong Pass will be broken by then!" ”

Na Kunping nodded, he was very convinced of this.

However, after a little silence, he said: "The general thinks that since Lu Zihong has given up the two positions of Lihua Ridge and Falling Ghost Slope right now, then we should take the opportunity to take these two positions, and then occupy the high points of the mountains on both sides of Yuntong Pass, and arrange our Tianwu Jin Crossbow!" ”

"No!"

Ruiling Tianwu hurriedly said: "Although the enemy army has released these two positions, but Lu Zihong, a strong man who can defeat the bloodsucking Heavenly Witch Dai Aoqi, is still there, if we divide our troops to Lihualing now and provoke Lu Zihong to make a move, we will not have a strong man to resist him at all, and then this army will be slaughtered in vain, but it will damage our own strength." ”

"Slaughter? Does he dare? Na Kunping sneered.

Although the warriors of the Broken Pill and the Ruins Realm are extremely strong, they also have an extra shackle on their bodies, their souls!

The reason why martial artists can live for a thousand years after cultivating to the realm of breaking pills and returning to the ruins realm is because the soul of a martial artist has completely formed a substance, and as long as the soul is not shattered by others, the strong soul is enough to ensure that they are intact in the passage of thousands of years.

Thus, it has a lifespan of 1,000 years!

But there is an exception, and that is the evil spirit!

On the Martial Spirit Continent, any living creature will form evil qi in its body since its birth, and as the creature steps into the martial path, the evil qi will grow with the killing of living beings.

The heavier the killing, the faster the evil energy will grow!

The damage of evil qi to the soul of the warrior is huge, once the evil qi in the warrior's body is condensed to a certain extent, it will burn his soul, which will cause the warrior's mind to lose his mind, and finally be affected by the evil qi into the body, becoming a monster who only knows how to kill.

However, the more you kill, the faster the evil qi will grow, and the faster the evil qi will burn the soul, so that the soul of the warrior will gradually begin to weaken and eventually disappear.

When the soul disappears, the warrior will naturally die!

Before a martial artist reaches the realm of breaking the Dan and returning to the ruins, even if you are a grandmaster at the peak of the late stage of the Dan realm, as long as the evil qi accumulated by you indiscriminately killing innocents does not reach the point where the evil qi enters the body and the mind is lost, the impact of the evil qi on yourself is still relatively limited.

However, after the warrior reaches the realm of breaking the pill and returning to the ruins, the soul of the warrior has formed a substance, and the evil qi is contaminated on the soul of the warrior like a bone appendage, and then it will impact their soul that has condensed into a substance, thus causing the weakening of their soul power.

Once the condensed evil qi reached a certain level, it would cause the rapid decline of their soul power, which would cause them to form a substantial soul and completely collapse, further causing their own realm to fall back to the Dan realm.

It is precisely because of such restrictions that in the Martial Spirit Continent, it is rare to see a strong person in the Ruins Realm killing innocents indiscriminately against ordinary people.

This group of people will cherish their realm incomparably, so it is absolutely impossible to do anything to kill ordinary people, which will cause their realm to fall.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Although the evil qi entering the body is terrifying, not all martial artists are afraid.

Like a demonic warrior.

They practice demonic skills, and many demonic skills are cultivated with the lives or souls of living people, in this case, they will naturally be affected by evil qi into their bodies, but the existence of demonic skills will help them resist some evil qi invading their minds.

But this resistance does not come without cost.

The price may be to make the demon path martial artist become a slave of the demon skill, and become the master of the martial arts, rather than the martial artist controlling the exercises.

It is also possible that they will also become monsters who only know how to kill, but with the Demon Dao Technique, this kind of killing monster will survive for a longer time.

But the biggest price is a reduction in longevity.

Just like a martial artist who cultivates the Demon Dao Technique to break through to the Breaking Pill and Returning to the Ruins Realm, the lifespan of others is thousands of years, and their lifespan may only be five hundred years.

And the halved lifespan is enough to make those strong who want to live longer stay away from the Demon Dao Exercises.

In addition to demonic martial artists, there is another exception, which is to find magic powers or treasures to dissolve evil qi.
