Shang Yang Pass, Fang Lin and Li Xianzong did not take the initiative to attack, nor did they take any action, as if two people were competing for patience, in the tent of the commander of the Ling Hua Sect, a disciple arched his hand towards Fang Lin and said: "Sect Master, the situation in the other two levels is almost not far from what you expected in advance, the enemy army mainly attacks with catapults, cloud-piercing crossbows and various siege equipment, and does not use warriors to directly attack the city, although the scene looks very shocking, but both sides have no personnel losses." ”

Fang Lin waved his hand lightly after hearing this, as if he didn't care about these at all, however, at this time, the disciple continued: "It's just ••••••"

"Huh?" Fang Lin frowned and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"It's just that Shangyuan Sect seems to be particularly active, and for three consecutive days, it sent the powerhouses of the Life and Death Realm to break the formation, and at first it made us scramble, but on the third day, after Elder Tianzheng came over to beat the two Life and Death Realm powerhouses away, everything returned to normal, during which the Shangyuan Sect launched a large-scale siege battle, losing some personnel, and some losses on our side were not big." The disciple reported.

Fang Lin nodded, waved the disciple away, and then smiled and said to Li Haoran next to him: "It seems that this Shangyuan Sect is very anxious, and he is a little desperate for the Blue Emperor Secret Treasure in our hands." ”

Li Haoran pouted and said: "Shangyuan Sect, it's just a group of idiots with great ambitions and talents, just because they still want to break through our level, in other words, even if they let them in, they will only be completely wiped out." ”

"Hmph, if we don't have too many scruples, we really want to destroy the Shangyuan Sect." Qu Shan'er pouted.

"Don't worry, Shangyuan Sect we will have to deal with sooner or later, hehe, let me tell you a good news, the ancestor already has signs of a breakthrough, once his old man breaks through successfully, we will have another layer of protection!" Fang Lin said with high interest.

When everyone heard this, their spirits lifted, and Princess Xiangxiang couldn't help but speak: "The predecessors are really talented, it's only been a long time, and I've already sensed the signs of a breakthrough, hey, it's been like us, it's been so long, and none of us have reached the level of returning to the yin and yang realm, compared with the predecessors, aren't we all a little too stupid." ”

"Haha, you little guys are feeling sorry for yourself here again, I have told you many times, cultivation can't be rushed, you must continue to accumulate in the realm of Yin and Yang Realm, compress, and build your own Yin and Yang Bridge, in the future, you will have to go further than us old guys." A hearty laugh came in.

Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Minghui walked in, and everyone immediately stood up to salute, Fang Lin said: "Minghui Ancestor, why are you here!" ”

"Hehe, it's not that I'm worried that your kid is here to sing the empty city plan with Li Xianzong, so come over and take a look, how about it, Li Xianzong didn't make any moves." Dongfang Minghui said with a smile.

"Haha, Li Xianzong is a battlefield general, and he is extremely sensitive to military formations and dangers, I have set up such a big battle waiting for him, he will naturally not be stupid to deliver food, so I don't have to worry at all, I am very safe here." Fang Lin Road.

"Aren't you worried that Li Xianzong will send a master of the Life and Death Realm to fly over from the side of the mountain to raid you, once he finds out that you don't have a strong person in the Life and Death Realm here, he will probably send a strong man to come." Dongfang Minghui frowned.

"Hehe, if Li Xianzong's purpose is to destroy us, he will definitely keep sending strong people to attack and harass us, and he will not waste his troops on attacking the other two checkpoints, his purpose is just to drag down our army, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome, after all, we have already captured the four of them in the realm of life and death, if one of them is not good, and the strong are captured by us for two, his tiger guard will probably be retaliated against by the Bur Qi Department at all costs." Fang Lin said confidently.

At this time, Concubine Shu stepped forward and held Fang Lin's big hand with both hands and said softly: "Since the seniors have already come, it is better to stay for two days, and it proves that other places are not in a hurry, you have calculated Li Xianzong's thoughts, but there is no guarantee that the people around him also think so, in case a hot-blooded guy comes to attack our army with high strength, then everything will be exposed." ”

Everyone was in their hearts when they heard this, although Fang Lin was a little disapproving, but he would not refute Concubine Shu's face, besides, Concubine Shu was also for his good, so Dongfang Minghui stayed down, and also supervised the cultivation of Fang Lin and the others by the way.

It was night, there were no stars and no moon, the whole world was dark, if it weren't for the fact that there would be a moonstone every other distance in the barracks, no one would have known that there would be people here.

The patrol walked around the entire barracks with heavy steps, and from time to time they could hear the sound of clattering armor rubbing, whoosh~ A black shadow fell from the top of the hill that was not very high, falling to the ground like a leaf, glanced left and right, and found that he had fallen behind the barracks, about two miles away from the barracks, the black shadow took out a charm from the ring and hit his body, and disappeared in an instant.

In the barracks, a team of patrols was clicking past a moonstone, suddenly, the leading captain raised his hand, stopped the movements of the sergeants, and looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing to find, unwilling to release his mind to scan, still nothing was found, the captain shook his head, muttered: "Am I a little nervous, really, the sect master is here, who dares to run to die." With that, he clicked away with the patrol.

In the shadows, a dark shadow flashed, and then disappeared, the entire barracks was still so quiet, there was no other sound except the click of the patrol, but the lights in the central marshal's tent were much brighter than the outside, it seemed that Fang Lin was dealing with something, so he deliberately did this.

The curtain of the tent was silently raised, and then put down silently, Fang Lin, who was immersed in official business, didn't seem to have any awareness of all this, and wrote something on the paper like a flying pen, at a certain moment, the space three feet in front of Fang Lin suddenly made a muffled sound, and then a black shadow showed his figure, he was not wearing a face towel, and the stunned and unbelievable on his face could not be dissipated for a long time.

Fang Lin raised his head and grinned, and said softly: "Since the seniors are here, let's stay and have a cup of tea, Fang has always been hospitable, and it seems that several of your partners are also guests in the Sect." ”

The man in black suddenly came back to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you do it?" ”

Fang Lin smiled silently, the man in black was not disappointed, just when he was about to step forward and forcibly capture Fang Lin, he suddenly had an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart, and without hesitation, his body was short, and then he rolled towards the side for the eighteenth time, and almost at the same time, a palm suddenly appeared in the place where he was standing before, and slapped it on the air wall with a bang, smashing it to pieces, turning into a little spiritual light and gradually drifting away.

The man in black was shocked, got up and didn't say a word, his figure showed a sneering sound, the man in black had already broken through the tent wall and jumped out, Fang Lin could only see a flash of black shadow, and the man melted into the night and disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't even catch his divine thoughts.

"Hehe, our luck is good, the strong man who forgets the realm of life and death, and is also proficient in the way of concealment and assassination, even I can't catch up." Dongfang Minghui said with a smile.

Fang Lin's face was extremely ugly, blue and white for a while, and he clearly understood that the genius swore that the other party would not send a master to come, but the people came at night, and they found him directly, if he hadn't habitually set up an iron wall array, maybe he would have been successfully captured by others.

As if seeing Fang Lin's thoughts, Dongfang Minghui spoke: "The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, there is no absolute perfection in the world, just like what Concubine Su said, you have counted Li Xianzong, but you can't count everyone around him, don't care too much, if you have a demon in your heart for this kind of thing, it's not worth it." ”

Fang Lin smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Thank you Ancestor for mentioning it, it seems that I am still too conceited, and the young man's ambition still has a certain negative impact on my heart, so I have to take it as a warning." ”

••••••

Outside Fengming Pass, the army of the Shang State once again gathered to 800,000, Long Tianyue did not ride a horse, stood in front of the army, his sharp eyes swept over the army, and then took a deep breath, and bowed to the army suddenly, this move made everyone at a loss, and for a while, the neat and quiet military formation was a little restless and in an uproar.

Without giving everyone much time to react, Long Tianyue spoke: "Soldiers, first of all, I, Long Tianyue, want to apologize to everyone here, and also apologize to those brothers who died in battle!" The day before yesterday, my Great Shang Kingdom had gathered 500,000 cavalry, but I was blinded by hatred because of my brother's death, and I only wanted to kill the past to take revenge, which also led to a rash rush to kill the past without knowing the enemy's situation, but it led to a big defeat, and also caused countless good men to die on the battlefield in vain, all because of my fault, for this, I Long Tianyue dare not shirk, and when this expedition is over, the emperor will be guilty. ”

Speaking of this, Long Tianyue's tone changed, and he shouted: "However, now that we have gathered an army of 800,000 again, so we have the capital to take revenge and wash away the shame, today I will take you to completely sweep away those miscellaneous fish of Linghua Sect, and use the prestige of Yang and my great business!" ”

"Defeat the enemy and raise the prestige of our country!"

"Defeat the enemy and raise the prestige of our country!"

"Defeat the enemy and raise the prestige of our country!"

Three consecutive roars of 10,000 people, the momentum is not enough to describe it as earth-shattering, every sergeant's blood is ignited, every drop of burning blood contains endless battle intent and killing intent, this is a tiger and wolf army, this is a yearning for blood and killing division, to destroy and annihilate everything metal in front of you!

On the plain, the two armies were far away from each other, looking at Ling Huazong's camp, Long Tianyue couldn't help but squint his eyes, his own strength was increasing, and the opponent's strength was also increasing, that is, in two days, Ling Hua's army had increased to 600,000, and the speed was not slower than him.

Looking at the formation again, it was still the same as before, Long Tianyue couldn't help sneering in her heart, and said secretly: "Hmph, you still think I will be stupid to use cavalry to bump, wait and see, I will give you a big gift." ”

Long Tianyue slowly raised the spear in his hand and moved straight forward, and then, the 100,000 sword and shield soldiers of the front army walked with a very rhythmic pace, slowly approaching the enemy, and at the same time, the big knife in his right hand also hit rhythmically on the shield in his left hand, but the momentum was a shocking feeling.

Ling Huajun didn't move, standing quietly in place, as if it was a sculpture, and at a certain moment, there was a sudden shout in the army: "Shoot!" ”

In the face of such a rain of arrows, the sword and shield soldiers were unimpressed, and with a bang, 100,000 large shields were raised obliquely to the sky, protecting all the soldiers tightly, and the sound of crackling rain hitting the plantain sounded, but the effect was minimal.

"Kill!" A loud shout came out of Long Tianyue's mouth, and the next moment, 100,000 people roared in unison, charging towards the Ling Hua Army, which was less than thirty zhang away, and the second wave of arrow rain of the Ling Hua Army fell, this time because the other party was in the process of charging, the effect was much better, but it was just shooting hundreds of people on the other side, and it had no effect at all.

A sonorous sound of metal sounded, and a row of tower shields was erected in the front row of the Ling Hua Army in an instant, as if a steel city wall had risen from the ground, and then, a sound of metal friction sounded, and dense spears stretched out from the hole in the tower shield, turning this city wall into a huge nail board waiting for the enemy to crash into it!

In the face of such a formation, Long Tianyue showed a sneer of disdain, and then, the command flag waved, and the charging sword and shield soldiers flashed together, the sword and shield disappeared, and a huge metal pillar appeared that needed to be lifted by ten people, and the front end of the metal pillar was a sharp cone, and from a high place, it looked like a siege vehicle, and it slammed into the steel city wall that was close at hand!

Bang~Bang~Bang~~~ The giant metal pillar ignored the dense spears and slammed into the tower shield, making the seemingly stable city wall crumbling, Long Tianyue's face appeared a hideous smile, and shouted: "Bang, hit me hard, they can't hold on a few times, haha." ”

Boom, boom, another terrifying crash sounded, those heavy tower shields were sunken down, and some of the eyes were even more deformed, and they could no longer be called "shields".

"Okay, okay, that's it, next time their shield array will collapse, and then it's time for us to slaughter, haha, the cavalry array is ready to charge!" Long Tianyue yelled excitedly.

However, the next moment, Long Tianyue was instantly stunned, and a whistle suddenly sounded in the opponent's formation, and then, those tower shield hands actually used the tower shield as a weapon, infused the true yuan and threw it towards the merchant army, and the hundreds of thousands of pounds of tower shield smashed like a boulder, and immediately messed up the formation of the merchant army, and even killed thousands of people, which was even better than the effect of its arrow rain.

Immediately afterwards, the light in the hands of the tower shield soldier flashed, the sword and shield were in hand, and they roared and rushed towards the chaotic merchant army, this time it was indeed a surprise, the merchant army was still carrying the metal pillar and was ready to be ruthless, in the face of the other party's rush to kill, it can be said that there is no slightest defense, just a few breaths, the merchant army fell tens of thousands of people.

However, this group of merchant troops can be regarded as a hundred battles of strong soldiers, after the initial chaos, there are thousands of soldiers roaring to gather all the soldiers, and fight and retreat, slowly stabilize their own formation, however, at this time, the general trend has gone, and their own casualties have exceeded thirty percent.

Just when these soldiers were struggling to resist, the shouts of the charge and the sound of rapid horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the rear, and the eyes of the commanders couldn't help but light up, and the more thoughtful ones shouted loudly in their free time: "Brothers, hold on, our cavalry is coming, as long as we hold back for a while, we can fight back!" ”

This was like a stimulant, and suddenly the heart of the merchant army that was about to collapse was reunited, and every merchant soldier gritted his teeth and fought desperately, just for the final victory.

Click~~~ A burst of bowstring flicking sounded, followed by a burst of mournful neighing of war horses, the sound of countless heavy objects falling and the screams of the soldiers, and then, there was a shocking shout of killing in the camp of the Linghua army, boom, the sound of ten thousand horses galloping was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of these sword and shield soldiers of the merchant army, they actually forgot that the other party also had cavalry.

The fierce battle lasted until the evening, when the two sides withdrew their troops, and in the tent of the commander of the Linghua army, a soldier reported to Dongfang Tianxiaoyu: "General Qiqi, our side suffered 80,000 casualties in this battle, and a total of 140,000 enemy troops were killed. ”

Dongfang Tianxiao waved the soldiers away, and said to Gao Xuan and the others in the account: "Hehe, it seems that this Long Tianyue has learned the lesson of the last time, and this time he is much more cautious in using soldiers." ”

"I think this is also the general's deliberate doing, I have seen several obvious omissions of the merchant army on the battlefield before, I believe the general has noticed it a long time ago, but he just deliberately turned a blind eye." Gao Xuandao.

Dongfang Tianxiao glanced at Gao Xuan appreciatively and said: "Yes, now we can't beat Long Tianyue at once, if he can't hold on to it, I will really have a headache, so we have to take it slowly, we have to let him see hope, so that the merchant army will continue to come to death." ”

Everyone shook their heads with a wry smile, and Gao Xuan said: "But our soldiers are also constantly suffering casualties, 80,000 casualties today alone, we can't afford such losses." ”

"Hehe, you are too worried, you must know that although today's casualties are 80,000, but those are all recruits who have been in the army for no more than a year, their combat ability and military quality, it is normal to have such casualties, and it is also necessary, otherwise what will we do to catch a big fish, and the soldiers who survive from it will become the mainstay of guarding the sect and expanding the territory." Dongfang Tianxiao waved his hand and said.

After a pause, he took care of himself and said: "What's more, when we get to the back, we will all be real strong soldiers in a hundred battles, and there won't be so many casualties." ”

••••••

There is no smell of war here, even if there are drinkers in the tavern talking about war, but it is just talking, as if a pebble has been thrown into the sea, and it does not cause any ripples at all.

A group of thirteen people walked into a wine shop that was not high-end, asked for a private room, ordered some wine and food casually and sent the guy away, eight of the thirteen people were old men, two middle-aged men, two middle-aged women and one old woman.

A white-bearded old man waved his hand and said without a prohibition: "Everyone, now that we have arrived at the Victory City, the next step is to prepare to attack the headquarters of the Linghua Sect, according to our internal report, the Linghua Sect's Sect Protector Array has not been opened, everything is still as usual, which is very beneficial to our next actions." ”

"The most important point, is there any old monster in the life and death realm in the headquarters of the Linghua Sect now, and how many are there, don't let us people rush over and find that the two strong people who know the slightest in the life and death realm are there, then it will be sad." A middle-aged man said.

"Hehe, Long Yuzhen, are you too careful, you are at this level of cultivation at the entrance level of the Life and Death Realm, why are you still cowering like a hut." An old man with half-white hair laughed.

"Hmph, old ghost Yin, do you think I'm like you, a strong man who has just gotten a glimpse of life and death, and I'm still so frizzy in doing things, so I'm not afraid of playing myself to death." Long Yuzhen snorted disdainfully.

"Okay, okay, I said that you two are old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, why do you still quarrel as soon as you meet." The old woman was born and reprimanded.

"Hey, Shang Taijun, it's not that you don't know this pair of living treasures, forget it, I don't even bother to talk about them, but what Long Yuzhen said is also right, the highest cultivation among us is me and Shang Taijun, but it's just a matter of life and death, if the two people who know the micro level are there, we really won't have a chance." The white-bearded old man from earlier spoke.

"Hehe, it's still Yin Lao Zu who is fair, and he won't be a donkey like someone!" Long Yuzhen smiled proudly.

Seeing that the two of them were about to pinch up again, Shang Taijun shouted with some annoyance: "Okay, you two are not finished yet!" Then he turned to another middle-aged woman and said, "Pei Shan, tell me about the news we received." ”

The dignified and beautiful, graceful middle-aged woman nodded slightly, got up and said: "According to the report of our insider and secret agents, at present, the Supreme Elder of the Linghua Sect, Tianzhengzi, is dealing with the attack of the Shangyuan Sect, and another strong man at the Zhiwei level is sitting in the Fanglin camp, and it is not clear whether there are strong people in the life and death realm in the Hongshi Pass battlefield for the time being, but it is estimated that it is impossible not to have it, as for our army, it should be able to hold them down one or two strong people in the life and death realm, and the Western Regions can hold at least one, so if you count it, There should be at least one powerhouse in the life and death realm in the headquarters of the Linghua Sect, but he doesn't know who it is. ”

Everyone was a little silent after hearing this, and after a while, an old man in a green robe spoke: "Even if they stay in the headquarters to sit in the master, we don't have to be afraid, you know, we have two people here who are in the realm of life and death, two people who are beginners in the realm of life and death and a strong man who has a first glimpse of the realm of life and death, and the other three are also strong men in the quasi-realm of life and death, and our mission this time is not to kill the enemy but to rob, so we don't need to think so much at all, It's entirely possible that we'll be able to do it before we know it. ”

There was silence in the private room for a while, and after a while, Old Ancestor Yin spoke: "What Meng Changjun said is extremely true, let's not forget the purpose of coming here this time, as long as we act carefully, pretending to be a few disciples of the Linghua Sect, it is not impossible to take away the Linghua Sect's Hidden Scripture Pavilion and Sect Treasury with lightning speed under the response of our internal line!" ”

Speaking of this, Yin Laozu glanced at another middle-aged woman, the woman smiled and nodded, everyone would understand, and they all laughed all of a sudden, as if a big stone pressed in their hearts fell to the ground.

The mountain range where Linghuazong is located on the periphery of the Yumeng Mountains has now become Linghua Mountain, there are no other buildings here except the buildings of Linghuazong, the original style of the entire mountain range has been preserved to a great extent, the dense and lush woods give people a kind of freshness close to nature, but it does not shade the sunlight sprinkled in the air, through the gaps in the branches of the trees scattered on the grass and the land, there are colorful butterflies playing in the forest, insects and birds are endless, There is a dreamlike beauty to see a few hares bouncing on the meadows, and a wide bluestone avenue winds its way up from the foot of the hill to the end of the sight••••••

A group of eight martial artists dressed in the costumes of the inner disciples of the Linghua Sect slowly marched up the bluestone road, their formation was very neat, as if they were an ordinary patrol team without attracting attention.

"It's really a good place, these people from the Linghua Sect really know how to choose a place, I'm a little jealous of building the mountain gate on such a treasure land." The middle-aged woman named Pei Shan took a deep breath of fresh air and said with a hint of intoxication.

"Hehe, Pei Shan, you don't know this, when Linghua Sect was just a third-rate small sect, this place was not what it is now, it can be said that it is simply a barren land, although the vegetation is lush and the aura is abundant, but it is recognized as a barren mountain that no one wants." The middle-aged man laughed.

"Giggles, I can't see that this Linghua Sect is really amazing, in just ten or so years, not only has the sect been run to this point, but even the environment around the sect has been managed so well, how good it would be if these people could be used by us." Another middle-aged woman laughed.

"Hehe, Mei Qi likes these beautiful things, to put it mildly, the environment of the Linghua Sect is so good, at least half of the credit goes to their Spirit Gathering Array." The last old man of the Reincarnation Realm laughed, and continued without waiting for others to ask: "The eighth-level Spirit Gathering Array, what kind of concept is that, it can gather all the idle spiritual energy within a range of thousands of miles around, don't you feel that the closer we get to the Linghua Sect headquarters, the more intense the spiritual energy becomes?" With such aura nourishment, coupled with Ling Hua Sect's deliberate actions, the surrounding environment is not good. ”

When the group of people walked halfway up the mountain without hurrying, there were already two inner disciples of the Linghua Sect waiting here, and when they saw eight people coming, one of them stepped forward and whispered, "The end of the Beacon Smoke Cage." ”

Pei Shan immediately stepped forward and continued: "Yin Shang is in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Chen Luyuan has seen a few seniors!" The previous disciple immediately saluted.

"Chen Liuyi has seen a few seniors!" The other person also quickly saluted.

"Well, now our patrol team is complete, hehe, otherwise if you really enter the Linghua Sect headquarters, it is very likely that you will be suspicious." Pei Shan laughed.

Lu Yuan and Liu Yi introduced some of the basic information of Linghua Sect to the eight people after a while, to everyone's great delight, the management of Linghua Sect did not seem to be as strict as they imagined, but very loose, except for the compulsory morning and evening classes every day, the disciples had all the freedom the rest of the time, including patrols and other things were released in the situation of the sect's mission, and Linghua Sect's Pill Pavilion, Refining Pavilion and other places for exchanging resources were also open around the clock, even the Hidden Scripture Pavilion was no exception, as for the sect's library, All the inner disciples know its specific location, but it is not for the disciples to go.

Just as the two of them were talking about explaining to everyone, Mei Qi suddenly pointed to the ground in front of her, reassuring her cultivators: "They shouldn't be from the Linghua Sect, how can they cultivate here?" ”
