There are already dozens of people standing in front of the gate of Huanhua Wetland and Huiyuyi, the leader is a blonde and blue-eyed, man who looks to be about fifty years old, his forehead is very broad, there are three wrinkles deep on it, a pair of golden thick eyebrows are straight into the sideburns, garlic nose, large mouth, golden short beard densely covered his face, almost covering his entire face, a pair of small ears looming between the scattered hair, squinting a pair of frog eyes playfully looking at the dozen or so people in front of him and the dozens of phalanxes behind them, This person is the powerhouse of the life and death realm from the side of the sect alliance - Kabu.

There was a burly man standing beside him, who looked eight points similar to Pi Yanfei, but at this time, his whole body was trembling, his eyes were wide, and his lips were constantly trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Kabu didn't notice the changes in Pi Yanchuan beside him, but said proudly: "You grass cowards have seen it, this time the old man brought 30,000 elites here, if you know each other, you will obediently hand over those merchants, and send them back to our country safely, and then promise us all the conditions, and be our dogs obediently in the future, in this way, you can all live well." Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed again, and he said coldly: "If not, the old man will level your Huanhua Wetland!" ”

"Cut, the old guy from there doesn't know how to take care of his old age at home and wait for death, but he still has to run out and fart everywhere, don't you think it smells, haha." Taka said with extreme disdain.

Kabu was furious when he heard this, and his eyes were burning and looked directly at Taka, but what surprised him was that Taka's cultivation was actually above him, no wonder this guy dared to contradict himself, fortunately, he didn't rush directly to do it, otherwise, it would be a shame.

"Hmph, don't be arrogant, do you think I'm afraid of you if you cultivate a little higher than me, hmph, I have a master here who has reached the realm of life and death, and it's not a problem to deal with you at all!" Kabu said with some intent, and then turned his head to look at Pi Yanchuan next to him, however, he himself was stunned.

"Hey, I said Pi Monster, what are you smoking?" Kabu looked at the trembling Pi Yanchuan with a puzzled expression.

But he didn't get Pi Yanchuan's answer, looking at his line of sight, Kabu was also startled, only to see a relatively thin old man in the opponent's array, who looked eight points similar to Pi Yanchuan, Kabu recognized the person at once, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Pi Yanfei!" ”

This exclamation suddenly made dozens of strong people behind him a little commotion, most of them knew the name Pi Yanfei, and it was the brother of the first strong man on his side, and he actually appeared in the other party's camp, what to do next.

At this time, I heard Pi Yanfei say in a trembling voice: "Big brother, it's really you." ”

This sound also seemed to wake up Pi Yanchuan, and a flash came to Pi Yanfei's body, the two brothers hugged each other like this, old tears flowed, and Pi Yanchuan murmured in his mouth: "Second brother, finally let me see you, do you know that I have been looking for you for more than half a year, if it weren't for your natal soul Jane who has been here all the time, I would have thought that something happened to you." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, you are actually in this Huanhua Wetland, our brothers are close at hand, if it weren't for this mission, our brothers don't know when they will meet." Pi Yanchuan continued.

Pi Yanfei's heart was also extremely uncalm, but fortunately, he had been mentally prepared in advance, forcibly suppressed the agitated mood, and pulled his brother and said, "Big brother, let's go to the side and talk!" ”

Seeing that Pi Yanfei was ignoring himself, Kabu was immediately furious, and shouted: "Pi Yanfei, don't forget what your identity is, since this Huanhua Wetland is your master, it would be better, you immediately ordered, the Huanhua Wetland is completely attached to us, so it can be regarded as your great achievement!" ”

Pi Yanfei turned his head and glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Idiot! Then he pulled Pi Yanchuan Teng to a huge willow tree more than ten feet away, set up a soundproofing ban and began to speak, ignoring the affairs of the outside world.

Kabu was so angry that his eyes were on fire, but he couldn't do anything about the Pi brothers, and then looked at the smiling Taka in front of him, he actually had a feeling of being slapped in the face, but he didn't dare to do it, because he had already discovered that there was also a first glimpse of the life and death realm and six quasi-life and death masters in the other camp, if they really fought, they might be wiped out.

He didn't make a move, and Taka and they naturally didn't do it, after all, why should a soldier who can surrender without a fight have to fight to the death with others, so in the next half an hour, the two sides confronted each other so quietly.

Suddenly, the figure flashed, and the Pi brothers appeared on the side of the Huanhua Wetland, Pi Yanchuan looked at Kabu and said unceremonously: "Kabu, now I announce the official termination of the employment relationship with you, for the sake of being against the Yeyue Empire, you go, don't try to provoke us again." ”

Hearing this, Kabu almost puffed out his eyes, and his jaw dropped behind him, and after the shock, uncontrollable anger erupted from Kabu's body, and he said angrily: "Brother Pi, you have to think about it carefully, do you know which country you are, don't you think about your own family?" ”

"Hmph, Kabu, you dare to threaten us! How can you people in big countries really regard us as scattered cultivators, the oppression and exploitation of us have never been alleviated, even if we are strong people who have reached the realm of life and death, in your eyes they are just dogs that can be used more, don't say that Lao Tzu is not from your three major countries, even if it is, as for Lao Tzu's family, hehe, if there is a kind, you will destroy it, Lao Tzu is waiting for your news. Pi Yanfei sneered.

"You, you wait, hmph, with the strength of our three major countries, I don't believe that we can't find out where your family is, and when the old man escorts your family in front of you, I hope you can also be angry!" Ka'b roared.

"Okay, old ghost Kabu, you can get out of the nonsense, if you go back late, maybe the strong man of the Yeyue Empire will have already killed the old ghost Hegin." Pi Yanchuan laughed.

Kabu was already angry to the extreme, his teeth were already clucking, at this time a person dressed as a general came to his side and said a few words, Kabu seemed to trust this person quite a lot, after listening to the mood gradually stabilized, and glanced at the Pi brothers resentfully, then hatefully said: "Let's go!" ”

"Haha, run away with your tail between your legs, come triumphantly, run away with a disgraced face, it turns out that the demeanor of a big country and a strong man is like this, if you still want your businessman, just obediently take the money to ransom people, don't do any tricks like pressing people with force, you are not that material, haha~~~" Taka laughed wildly.

Hearing this, Kabu, who was on the march, couldn't help but blush, and spurted out a mouthful of old blood, almost fainting.

On the other side, in front of Bu Yueyi, Qin Wuhui and Mengyi had a big battle, although they faintly suppressed each other with their equipment, but they were not as comfortable as they looked, at this moment he forcibly suppressed a mouthful of reverse blood in his chest, and at this time, two figures in the sky fell beside him, and they turned out to be two strong men in the quasi-life and death realm, and the breath of both of them was a little unstable, obviously falling behind, and then looking at the opponent's large number of soldiers pressed up desperately, I thought that the other party saw that something was wrong on my side, so he ordered without hesitation: "Retreat!" ”

At this time, the military quality of the soldiers of the Yeyue Empire was reflected, although they received the order to retreat, but they did not flee in all directions like stragglers, but combined together to form a phalanx, and fought and retreated, it was not chaotic at all.

The strong men in the sky did not shake off the opponent and turned to run, but stopped the attack, and confronted the opponent quietly, after all, if they trade and then retreat, these strong men of the other party go to kill their soldiers, and the losses will be miserable, until their own army withdraws a certain distance, and these strong men will turn around and leave.

Seeing that there was nothing to take advantage of, Dongfang Meteorite also issued an order to stop the pursuit, and it was only at this time that a faint smile appeared on Gao Jue's face and said, "It's time for us to retreat." ”

After a long time, Mengyi finally couldn't help it, looked at the Eastern Meteorite and said, "Elder Meteorite, there is something unknown about the concubine, and I hope to give me advice." ”

Dongfang Meteorite smiled and said, "You ask." ”

"I obviously told Gao Jue to retreat just now, and he agreed, but why did he command all the soldiers to launch a lifeless attack, this is different from what we discussed in advance." Mengyi said her question in one breath.

"Hehe, you have also seen that the other party's strength is much stronger than ours, and their military literacy is far above us, if we gave the order to retreat at that time, do you think our soldiers can retreat in an orderly manner like others without causing unnecessary casualties?" Eastern Meteor asked.

Meng Yi thought for a moment when he heard this: "Although I don't understand military affairs, I can also see that the strength of the other party's army is very strong, and their training is far above us. ”

"Yes, in that case, Qin Wuhui will definitely order a hunt and kill, don't forget, the strength of the other people is not much less than ours, once the pursuit is formed, our losses may be great." An old man in black next to him interjected in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe, what Brother Eldering said is extremely true, once our army collapses, I am afraid that the losses caused will be unbearable for us, and it will have a great impact on our future plans." Oriental Meteor laughed.

It turned out that the black-clothed old man who interjected was Yue Changling, the strong man who entered the life and death realm sent by the neighboring Yue Country, but at this time, there was no pride or pride on his face, he just nodded slightly, but the other gray-robed old man spoke at this time: "Brother Meteor is really resourceful, and he actually came up with this method of advancing and retreating, making a situation of fighting to the death with the other party, forcing the other party to retreat, and then we won the opportunity to retreat calmly, admire, admire!" ”

Dongfang Meteorite smiled bitterly: "Brother Bai Xuan, these things are not something that an old guy like me can think of, these are all explained by my son-in-law in advance, and the real commander of the army is not me, but the little guy in the Yin and Yang Realm, but he is afraid that his cultivation is too low and he can't control the field, so he just took my name." ”

Bai Xuan and Yue Changling couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and Meng Yi muttered with admiration on his face: "The Lord is really like a god, people can expect the situation of this battle thousands of miles away, and they have also made appropriate arrangements, the concubine is really unconvinced." ”

Bai Xuan said: "May I ask who your son is••••••"

"Hehe, you'll find out later." The Eastern Meteorite laughed.

The two glanced at each other, but they didn't ask any more questions, Yue Changling immediately changed the topic and said: "Since your son is clever, why do you use so many soldiers to send him to death, you know, in the battle just now, your losses are not small, and the soldiers who killed and injured the other party are only a few hundred, this is not like the work of a master." ”

Mengyi sneered and said: "I heard the lord say this, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the reason why this is to fuel the other party's pride, after all, if you want to eat the other party's 100,000 crazy wolf guards, the price you need to pay is also very large, but if you use a strategy, you can reduce a lot of losses, at least you can replace our excellent soldiers with most of the miscellaneous fish, and at the same time, you can also screen out more excellent talents." ”

••••••

Outside Fengming Pass, the merchant army has established a huge military camp, and the number of merchant troops has exceeded one million at this time, and everything is running in an orderly manner in the strict military camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Long Tianyue sat on the top of the commander, looked at the high-level generals at the head of the lower and said in a deep voice: "The truce in the past two days, can you detect the movements of Ling Huazong?" ”

Immediately, a general stepped forward and said, "Marshal, we have found out that the current total strength of the Linghua Army has also increased to one million, but their troop increase trend has slowed down, and it is expected that there will be no more than 300,000 troops at most." ”

Long Tianyue nodded and said, "Yes, then what news do you have on their strong side?" ”

The general shook his head and said with some shame: "Only those we knew before, but the last general is sure that they are definitely more than those, but the quantity and quality of the strong will always be the core secret of an army, so the last general is incompetent." ”

Long Tianyue waved her hand and said, "It's not your fault. After speaking, he looked at the other general and asked, "What is the current situation of our army?" ”

"Marshal, our army currently has 1.1 million troops in place, and it is still increasing at a rate of 200,000 per day, and the materials in the early stage have also been completely in place, and the follow-up will be shipped one after another." The general replied.

A cold light flashed in Long Tianyue's eyes, and she said, "Very good, Ling Hua Sect!" You have made me suffer a big loss, I will never spare you, hum, let you live happily for a few days, and when I have an army of two million, it will be when you are crushed! ”

In the palace of the city lord of Dingfeng City, Dongfang Tianxiao asked the scout in front of him about the situation of the enemy army comprehensively, and then looked at the various generals at the head and said: "Everyone, now that our one million troops have all arrived, the follow-up is just some logistics soldiers, the purpose is just to paralyze the enemy army, so that they can estimate our strength more, but next, we are afraid that what we have to face is the powerful offensive of the enemy army." ”

"General, since the enemy army already has more than a million troops, will they launch an attack, we have won great victories in the two battles on the plain before, are we going to snipe the enemy on the plain again this time?" A general asked.

"Hehe, Long Tianyue has already suffered two big losses, and it is impossible to support a large-scale battle of millions on both sides on the plain, so if Long Tianyue is smart, he will definitely not fight with our army on the plain again, and if he comes, then it will definitely be a large army pressing the border, and the thunderous attack will be, so I am afraid that we will have to defend the city next." Dongfang Tianxiao said.

Gao Xuan suddenly interjected beside him: "I think we should be able to send some strong people to attack their military camp, especially if we can destroy some of their baggage supplies, it would be perfect." ”

The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this, you must know that there are a lot of strong people here, and the merchant army estimates that the quality of the strong is completely incomparable with their own, if they really send strong people to attack, I am afraid that the hope of success will be great, so it will be of great help to the war.

Dongfang Tianxiao smiled and said: "You guys take it for granted, you must know that the merchant army attaches great importance to us, although the quality of their strong is not as good as ours, but in their own military camp anyway, they have laid out a lot of means, and the other party must also have a strong person in charge, if you rashly attack the other party's military camp without knowing the truth and reality, then I am afraid that not only will you not be able to take advantage, but also suffer a big loss, if you accidentally fall two of our strong people in it, then we will lose this war, You know, there is no powerful array in this Dingfeng City. ”

Gao Xuan thought about it, and smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything more, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Gao Xuan still asked a little unwillingly: "Are we going to watch their strength grow like this and do nothing?" ”

This time everyone in silence woke up, and they all looked at the first general with burning eyes, Dongfang Tianxiao took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Of course not, the next thing we have to do is to go to their camp every day to challenge, and I estimate that Long Tianyue will never fight before he has an absolute superiority in troops." ”

Li Qing frowned suspiciously and said, "What's the point of that?" ”

"Hehe, this is deliberately to provoke the other party, so that their anger in their chests is constantly burning and rising, when they attack the city, they will be desperate, so that it is easier to expose great flaws and be caught by us, which is quite beneficial to us." Dongfang Tianxiao said.

"But the generals of the other side are not stupid, won't they think calmly?" Gao Xuandao.

"Hehe, generals won't be impulsive, but soldiers will, you must know that once people are angry, there will definitely be some deviations in the execution of orders." Dongfang Tianxiao smiled a little insidiously.

••••••

Halfway up the mountain of Ling Hua Sect, facing Mei Qi's question, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "They are all ordinary casual cultivators, because the aura in this place is much richer than in other places, so they come here to cultivate." ”

"Coming here to cultivate?" Mei Qi said strangely: "Doesn't martial arts cultivation need a very quiet environment, you see here, it is the main road up and down Linghua Mountain, it will definitely be very noisy, and there are many scattered cultivators, there must be a lot of people who want such a treasure land, aren't they afraid that there will be a sudden sneak attack by others?" ”

Pei Shan said: "That's right, and Linghua Sect also allows so many casual cultivators to cultivate here so unscrupulously, aren't they afraid that there are any ill-intentioned people among them?" ”

"Hehe, at first, it was indeed very chaotic here, there were often big fights and even bloodshed in order to grab a cultivation place, and then the formation master of Linghua Sect established an eighth-level large array here, prohibiting anyone from fighting here, and there is also a sound insulation effect, no matter how noisy it is on this road, it can't be heard on the woodland next to it." Liu Yi explained.

"As for the people with ill intentions, there will definitely be, but in front of the Linghua Sect, what can these scattered cultivators do, and as time goes by, these scattered cultivators have become more and more aware of the benefits of the Linghua Sect, so they all spontaneously organized and supervised each other, if there are any people who dare to fight here, they don't need to do it in Linghua Sect, they will solve it themselves." Lu Yuan added.

Long Yuzhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help but speak: "Wonderful plan, I didn't expect Ling Hua Sect to actually think of such a good way, just relying on the little aura overflowing from the eighth-level spirit gathering array, it attracted many scattered cultivators to spontaneously become their free outer defense line, although it can't resist the attack of any army, but it can greatly curb the prying eyes of some treacherous villains, yes, it's really good, I said Yin Ancestor, do we want to imitate Ling Hua Sect's practice too?" ”

Old Ancestor Yin looked at Mei Qi next to him and said, "Mei Qi, from the perspective of your ninth-level spirit formation master, this formation layout of Ling Hua Sect may be imitated?" ”

Mei Qi shook her head and said: "This formation outside is not difficult, but the eighth-level spirit gathering array is not something I can set up, Ancestor, you should know that the current highest-level spirit gathering array on the continent is also the eighth level, and to set up such a spirit gathering array not only requires a formation map, but also requires a large number of materials and some very cherished genius earth treasures, which we don't have." ”

"Then what if we replace the Spirit Gathering Array with a seventh-level one?" Shang Taijun asked a little unwillingly.

"After the Spirit Gathering Array reaches the advanced level, the difference between the first level can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth, and the difference between the effects of the seventh-level Spirit Gathering Array and the eighth-level Spirit Gathering Array is thirty times! To be precise, the eighth-level spirit gathering array can gather the heaven and earth aura within a radius of three thousand six hundred miles, and as long as he is willing, he can completely evacuate the heaven and earth aura in this area and gather it into a small area, but the seventh-level spirit gathering array has a range of only one hundred and twenty miles, and the effect of gathering the aura is much worse, so if we use the seventh-level spirit gathering array instead, it will not be able to achieve the effect of Ling Huazong at all, it can be said that it is thankless. Maggie explained.

Hearing his words, Old Ancestor Yin was not only not depressed, but his eyes were bright, and he muttered: "The formation diagram of the eighth-level spirit gathering array, Ling Huazong must have placed it in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, this time we must get it, if our royal family also establishes an eighth-level spirit gathering array, but the imperial court will definitely produce talents in a short period of time, although it is not as good as the Yeyue Empire, how can these small countries around it be put in our eyes!" ”

Soon, everyone came to the mountain gate of Ling Hua Sect, and suddenly, the eight people from Shang Guo were shocked again, only to see Ling Hua Zong's endless, tall and magnificent palace wall densely sat in front of all kinds of loose cultivators, they were all concentrating on comprehending something, yes, that is the palace wall, compared to the city wall of the Forbidden City, I am afraid it is also better!

Looking at the wall again, there are vivid reliefs, but the carvings are not beasts and fairies, but a series of exercises and martial arts, although these people have long known that the outer wall of Ling Huazong is carved with various exercises, however, when they see it with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts is an uncontrollable shock.

"Wait, Ancestor, look at the exercises on the wall, isn't it the Lihuo Sui Yuan Gong that our royal family has a collection, it's the exercises of the Twilight Level, why did Ling Huazong engrave it on the outer wall so grandly!" Old Ghost Yin said in surprise.

"And over there, you see, it's the Danxia Sword Technique, the martial art of the Spirit Rank Heavenly Rank, and Ling Hua Sect actually carved it on the outer wall!" Pei Shan couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.

After a while, Shang Taijun spoke: "The old man counted just now, and there are a total of five twilight-level exercises carved on this outer wall, one for each of the five element attributes, twenty-one for the spirit-level exercises, ten for the spirit-level martial arts, and the rest are all mortal-level. ”

The green-robed old man let out a strange laugh and said, "Isn't Ling Huazong afraid of causing others to be jealous and blushing by doing this, and then they all join forces to attack them." ”

"Hehe, with the current strength of Linghua Sect, who would dare to provoke at will, if it weren't for the containment of the Yeyue Empire, I'm afraid we old guys wouldn't dare to run to this Linghua Mountain." Long Yuzhen sneered.

Old Ghost Yin's eyes exuded this blazing brilliance, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "It's all ours, these are all ours, after today, Ling Huazong will have nothing, and all their treasures will belong to us." ”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yin Old Ancestor took a deep breath and said: "Hide all your emotions for me, don't affect our next actions, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth sailing in the Linghua Sect, we must fight its 120,000 spirit!" ”

Looking at the mountain gate that was close at hand, everyone took a deep breath, closed their eyes and slowly suppressed the restlessness in their hearts, and gradually calmed down, and then the group slowly walked into the mountain gate of Linghua Sect under the leadership of Lu Yuan and Liu Yi.

On the contrary, the architectural furnishings in the sect are not as shocking as those outside, and they are no different from the ordinary big sects, except that the scenery is better, the aura is more intense, and the cultivation of the disciples is more standardized.

However, when everyone came to the courtyard wall of the inner gate, they couldn't help but drop their jaws in shock.
