Rongguo, although it was already the dead of night, but the imperial study in the palace was still brightly lit, Emperor Shang Rong, the crown prince and many important ministers of the court were here, and their faces had a trace of solemnity.

Shang Rong opened his mouth and said: "Shang Ning, you are really too reckless this time, is the Ling Hua Army so easy to deal with, their strength and command ability have been proven by many major battles, there is no doubt about it, but you still don't pay enough attention to it." ”

Shang Ning stood up when he heard this, lowered his head in shame, and knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a deep voice: "Father, the sons know their mistakes, they shouldn't be lost by the ethereal interests and the 100,000 tiger guards, in fact, as early as when they retreated without a fight, the sons should have realized that there were masters among them, but the sons still didn't think about it carefully, and relied on the strength of Mu Lao and others, thinking that they would inevitably win, resulting in the fall of hundreds of thousands of elites and pillars of the court. Set an example! ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in their hearts when they heard this, this prince is indeed good, he has no intention of shirking responsibility at all, he has responsibility and courage; The prime minister slowly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has both ability and political integrity, this is recognized by everyone, although he made a big mistake this time, resulting in the loss of the empire, but his original intention is still for the country, but his luck is not good, and he met Fang Lin, hey, that Fang Lin is too demonic, and there is nothing to say if he is defeated in his hands, so please also ask Your Majesty to see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a first offense, and he will be punished lightly!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the ministers also pleaded one after another, Shang Rong nodded when he heard this, he was also quite satisfied with this son in his heart, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "The prince must not be punished for making mistakes, but Nian Er is a first offense, dedicated to the public, and the opponent is also very powerful, so the punishment is lenient, go to the Tomb of the Heroic Spirit to think for ten days!" ”

Shang Ning didn't show a happy expression when he heard this, kowtowed a few times, and then left without looking back.

At this time, the military department Shangshu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have suffered heavy losses this time, and I am afraid that the plan to deal with Ling Huazong will be delayed for decades!" ”

Shang Rong frowned when he heard this, and said, "Is it really so serious?" In fact, he also knew that it was just a bit of luck.

The military department Shangshu smiled bitterly: "400,000, all of them are elites, although we are already secretly cultivating the army now, but you also know that for an army to really grow to the elite level, it takes a lot of time and resources to accumulate, and it can't be discovered by Ling Huazong during this period, so with our national strength, it is still a conservative estimate for decades." ”

Shang Rong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said: "Hey~~ This failure has completely disrupted our plans, who knows that we just want to create some small frictions, Ling Huazong's reaction will be so fierce, even Fang Lin has personally commanded, it seems that Fang Lin is very determined to destroy my Rong Kingdom, Zhongqing, how should we deal with it next?" ”

Da Sima stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should strengthen the deployment of troops in Sanyun City, after all, if Ling Huazong wants to attack our country, it can only come from there, and the bridge on the other side should also be destroyed by us, and not give them any chance to secretly display their positions!" ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "Hey, originally the bridge was intended to be kept for us to secretly use Chen Cangang, but now it is to prevent others from using this trick." ”

While these people were talking and discussing, the space above Sanyuncheng trembled slightly, and then an old man with a crane hair and a childish face appeared here out of thin air, however, his appearance did not cause any reaction, and the soldiers patrolling the city on all sides seemed to have not seen him.

The old man's sharp eyes glanced around, and he said suspiciously: "Ling Huazong reports, Mu Dingfang, who ranks nineteenth, is here, and it has been confirmed by Yin Liguang, who fought with him, but why didn't the old man feel that powerful aura here, there are three in the realm of life and death, but they are not strong enough." ”

After a moment of silence, the old man muttered again, "Could it be that Ling Huazong is deliberately releasing false news?" Hehe, it's impossible, that Fang Lin kid is not so stupid, he won't know the fate of cheating the old man, so why? ”

The divine thought was completely let go, and the entire Sanyun City was shrouded in it and carefully investigated, in the Renyun City, an old man in the realm of life and death was cultivating, fiercely, his eyes opened, he felt a powerful aura of divine thought, and there was a certain hostility in it!

With a long roar, he rose to the sky and flew towards the source of the divine thought, and at the same time, there was also a long roar in the Earth Fortune City and the Heavenly Fortune City, and the two figures also flew towards the head of the divine thought.

After a while, they came to the sky, and the three of them naturally stood in a triangular formation and surrounded the old man in the middle, and the man from Tianyun City spoke: "Dare to ask where this friend is from, and what is his intention?" ”

The old man just let go of his divine thoughts, and did not release any momentum, so the three of them felt that they were only a little stronger than themselves, so they didn't put this old man in their eyes, after all, there were three of them here.

Hearing the other party's unceremonious tone, the old man was not annoyed, and said with a faint smile: "The old man is here to find Mu Dingfang, where is he?" ”

Hearing that the other party didn't answer the rhetorical question, the three of them couldn't help frowning, the man from Diyun City seemed to have a quick temper, and said directly: "It's not too late to capture him first and then ask!" ”

After speaking, he appeared directly beside the old man in a flash, and blasted towards the old man's head with a punch, and the other two saw that they behaved differently, and the person who was weak in cultivation showed a sneer on his face, and said in his heart: "You are only a little stronger than me, and he is much stronger than you, look how arrogant you are!" ”

However, the person who cultivated to reach the realm of life and death and returned to the void changed his face in an instant, and rushed directly over with a loud shout, and shouted in his mouth: "Let's go together!" ”

Just when the fist was about to hit his head, the old man smiled coldly, and then his body was like a catkins, floating backwards with the wind of the man's fist, but the fist never touched his body!

At this moment, the strong man who had returned to the realm of life and death rushed over with a shout: "Be careful, he is a master!" ”

However, as soon as his words fell, the figure of the old man appeared strangely behind the person who had attacked him before, and he didn't see any earth-shattering attacks, but a hand simply poked out, and then pinched the man's neck like a chicken, making him unable to move.

Seeing that the person was restrained with one move, the strong man who had just glimpsed the realm of life and death was instantly stunned, and a cold sweat came out, wetting his whole body, but the strong man who had returned to the realm of life and death rushed over with a roar.

Seeing someone rushing towards him, the expression on the old man's face remained unchanged, a cold snort came out of his mouth, and his left hand slapped towards the person, with a dull explosion, a circle of white qi waves in the sky spread, and the strong man who was still in a daze for the first glimpse of the life and death realm was shocked and flew upside down for a distance of dozens of zhang!

Looking at the battlefield again, the person who sat and forgot about the realm of life and death was still caught in the hands of the old man, the old man stood in place and stood still, while the strong man who returned to the realm of life and death was shocked and flew out more than ten feet, and he was still holding his chest and gasping.

His eyes were full of horror, and his heart was also overturned, and he said secretly: "It's definitely the person who is ranked above Mu Lao, I don't know if it's Mu Lao's enemy, but the current situation can only be solved by Mu Lao." ”

At this moment, the old man's cold words came again: "Where is Mu Dingfang, the old man doesn't have the patience to spend it with you, if you don't say it, he is an example!" ”

When the words fell, as soon as the old man spit out the true yuan in his hand, he heard an extremely miserable cry from the person who had forgotten about life and death, and then, his breath disappeared at a very fast speed, and his whole body was paralyzed, but the old man didn't look at it, and threw it down from the sky like garbage.

In the distance, the strong man who had just glimpsed the realm of life and death saw this, he was already so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he turned around and ran without hesitation, and the speed was not weaker than the strong man who returned to the realm of life and death!

The old man didn't seem to care about that person's escape, but just focused on the strong man who had returned to the realm of life and death, and an extremely strong coercion pressed heavily on that person, and that person instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, a long howl sounded in Tianyun City, and a figure rose into the sky with a powerful momentum, flying towards them, feeling this breath, the old man's face showed a smile, and muttered: "Finally came out, it turned out that a high-level hidden magic circle was arranged underground, no wonder the old man didn't feel it, hehe." ”

As the man approached, the pressure on the Void Strong Man in the Life and Death Realm slowly withdrew, and just when he felt a little better, the old man's faint words came: "Go, this is not something you can participate in, it is not easy to cultivate for a thousand years, don't make mistakes!" ”

When the strong man who returned to the realm of life and death heard this, he didn't know what was going to happen, so without saying a word, he turned around and turned into a streamer and flew away.

"Hehe, Mu Dingfang, I didn't expect that your nineteenth-ranked powerhouse would actually live in such a small place, it's unbelievable, I think at the beginning, the empire repeatedly recruited you, you didn't want to, isn't this a little too ironic." The old man laughed.

"Hmph, that's my business, it's you Li Yi, I have no grievances with you, why did you come to trouble me and kill my people!" Mu Dingfang didn't care about Li Yi's ridicule, and asked directly.

Li Yi laughed and said: "A few little guys who don't know how to be polite, if they kill them, they will be killed, so many whys, as for you, since the old man came to you, then there is naturally something, how about it, come with me, you know, you are not my opponent." ”

"Hmph, Li Yi, although you are the number one powerhouse, we old guys are not easy to mess with, don't go too far!" Mu Dingfang was furious and argued against each other.

Li Yi smiled and said: "It seems that you are very confident in your strength, well, well, you haven't done anything with anyone for a thousand years, let's take a look at your strength today." ”

When the words fell, Li Yi's figure suddenly disappeared, Mu Dingfang was startled, his body instinctively dodged to the side, and at the same time, a palm slapped out in one direction, bang~~ There was a muffled sound, but there was no air wave discharge, but Li Yi's figure appeared there.

"Hehe, yes, it seems that you haven't been in vain over the years, and your skills have increased a lot." Li Yiyi.

"Hmph, that's nothing, it's not a secret that you Li Yi is proficient in spatial attributes, how can I not be on guard." Mu Dingfang sneered.

The next moment, Mu Dingfang's pupils shrank, because Li Yi had already turned into an afterimage and rushed towards him, but this did not surprise him, and he also turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Li Yi, followed by the sound of ping-pong battles resounding through the world, attracting the warriors of the three cities below, but no one dared to come up to take a look.

At some point, an explosion sounded, and a circle of milky white qi waves spread out at an extremely fast speed, and some sharp-sensed martial artists instantly turned pale, and that power was completely enough to destroy them a hundred times!

Li Yi and Mu Dingfang each retreated some distance, but Mu Dingfang obviously fell behind, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, Li Yi said with a slight surprise: "I didn't expect it, your strength has actually reached this level, if it is the second child who comes this time, I'm afraid I really can't do anything about you." ”

Mu Dingfang sneered: "Hmph, even if you are an old monster, what can I do, I admit that I can't beat you, but if you want to defeat me, it will take at least a few days, of course, if you use the spirit weapon, it will be another matter, but do you think that I will still be stupid to fight with you!" ”

"Hey, hey. It's useless, if the old man wants to catch you, you can't run away, it's a big deal to spend more than ten days or even dozens of days or years, anyway, it's not a big deal for us old guys. Li said indifferently.

Mu Dingfang was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Li Yi, you old horseman, where did Lao Tzu offend you, you want to target me like this!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you won't know if you come with me!" After Li Yi finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind Mu Dingfang, and pressed his palm towards the back of his heart.

However, Mu Dingfang was prepared, and his body turned into a black line just before Li Yi's palm wind arrived, he flew out, avoiding this palm, and then a Luan Feng returned to the nest, and his body exploded towards Li Yi, smashing into his chest with a punch.

The two fought again, this time for a longer time than the last time, and when the two separated, Mu Dingfang was obviously shocked again, but this was nothing for a person of their level.

Li Yi's brows not only frowned: "It turns out that you haven't done your best just now, uh, I can't figure it out, with the strength you are showing now, that Yin Liguang shouldn't be able to catch your five moves, how can you have a draw?" ”

"Hmph, that old guy, it's just a spiritual weapon on his body, I'm just afraid that I will avoid it ruthlessly, if he desperately detonates the spiritual weapon to die with me, it will be troublesome, but you are different, even if I try my best, you will not blow up the spiritual weapon!" Mu Dingfang snorted coldly.

However, the next moment, just as Li Yi was about to say something, he opened his mouth wide, because Mu Dingfang turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky when he was slightly distracted.

••••••

In the Huanhua Wetland, where the Linghua Army is stationed, a group of high-level officials in the handsome account were discussing something, and at this time, a soldier came in and said, "Elder Fu Heng, Great General, there is a person outside who claims to be the envoy of the Xuanxuan Annihilation Alliance who asks to see him!" ”

Fu Heng and Feng Wanchun were shocked when they heard this, and then looked at each other and smiled, Fu Heng said softly: "Come on, hehe, bring it in." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was brought in, he was good-looking, of medium stature, although his cultivation was not too high, but he was not weak, seeing that everyone in the account smiled slightly, and then rushed to the head after holding his fists and saluting one by one, Fu Heng bowed and said: "Zou Shun, the executive elder of the Xuan Annihilation Alliance, has seen the elder of the Linghua Sect!" ”

Looking at his behavior that was neither humble nor arrogant, Fu Heng also nodded slightly in his heart, smiled back and saluted, pointed to a position at the bottom and said, "Honorable envoy, please take a seat!" ”

After Zou Shun thanked him, he naturally sat down, and then spoke: "Elder, I was ordered to come here this time to discuss a major matter with your army. ”

Fu Heng smiled, did not speak, motioned for him to continue, Zou Shun spoke: "We know that your army came this time to deal with Tianxuanling, and it just so happens that our Xuanxuan Destroying Alliance is also going to deal with Tianxuanling, so this time we came to act jointly with your army, so that we have a response to each other, and the elders should also know that Tianxuanling is not an ordinary force, its strength is absolutely powerful, if the two of us can act together, we will definitely be able to reduce a lot of losses!" ”

When Fu Heng heard this, he smiled and said: "The envoy should also know that since it is to cooperate, then it must be sincere, what is the strength of my Linghua army, presumably you have been rigorously verified, but we don't know how much strength you have, do you think that under such conditions, can we still cooperate?" ”

Zou Shun was not surprised when he heard this, as if he had expected it, he immediately took out an object and handed it to Fu Heng, and said, "That's natural, so please ask the elders to see this thing first!" ”

Fu Heng took it, it was a golden scroll, unfolded it and looked, it turned out to be Li Tianyou's holy decree, Fu Heng's expression instantly became respectful, and after quickly reading the holy decree, he carefully put it away, and then returned it to Zou Shun, only then did he sigh and said: "It turns out that you are the force established by His Majesty the Emperor's decree, it is really disrespectful!" ”

Zou Shun carefully put away the holy decree, and said with a smile: "Elder, please don't misunderstand, taking out the holy decree in the lower place has no other meaning, just to prove the truth of my next words." ”

When Fu Heng heard this, he laughed and said, "This is very good, please speak." ”

Zou Shun said: "Elders, you should also know some of the formation process of my Xuanxuan Alliance, yes, we were originally only a dozen forces that were unwilling to belong to Tianxuanling, to be honest, even if we were all united, we were not Tianxuanling's opponents, but things changed three months ago." ”

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, glanced at the reactions of the other people in the field, and saw that everyone was curious, he smiled with satisfaction in his heart, and continued: "The imperial envoy found us with the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor, and ordered us to set up an alliance to destroy the Xuanling, gather the big and small forces, and when the time is ripe, the empire will naturally send a strong man over to lead us to jointly destroy the Xuanling Mountains!" ”

Speaking of this, Zou Shun's face couldn't help but show a flush, the corners of his mouth curled, he seemed to have seen the scene of the destruction of Tianxuanling.

Seeing his expression, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of Fu Heng and Feng Wanchun, but they quickly put it away, Fu Heng smiled and said: "Hehe, the envoy still doesn't understand what the old man means, let me tell you this, now that my Linghua Army has subdued this eastern region and a small part of the southeast and northeast, as time goes by, the area under our control will become larger and larger, and when the time comes, the strength of our family will be enough to destroy Tianxuanling, why should we cooperate with you, you know, In front of His Majesty the Emperor, the benefits of enjoying this credit alone are unimaginable. ”

Zou Shun was stunned when he heard this, but then reacted again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the elder may not know, although your army has many soldiers, but it is not so easy to deal with Tianxuanling in this Huanhua Wetland, and you want to rely on those miscellaneous fish that you have subdued, hehe, please forgive me, they don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Fu Heng and continued: "But the army of our Xuanxuan Annihilation Alliance is different, it is trained by the generals directly sent by the empire, and it is specially trained for the terrain of Tianxuanling, I believe that it will not be long before they will give Tianxuanling a big surprise, and the reason why we took the initiative to find your army to unite is not that we have no way to take Tianxuanling, but to avoid unnecessary conflicts and give Tianxuanling a chance." ”

Zou Shun's words were vague, but the meaning was to show that he was safe, Fu Heng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Is the envoy saying that I, Ling Huajun, am only worthy of beating the periphery and beating the side drum?" ”

Zou Shun's face suddenly appeared proud, but he said: "Where, where, your army is strong, we will never dare to doubt it, but for Tianxuanling, your army is not as good as us, so we think that your army will block the periphery, and the task of attacking the mountain will be completed by us. ”

Fu Heng snorted angrily when he heard this, and with a slap he slapped the handsome case in front of him into powder, and shouted: "Okay, you are a Xuanxuan Destroying Alliance, I really think you are amazing, since you have such a strong strength, and you came to us to cooperate with a fart, I see that you Zou Shun did not come here to talk about cooperation at all, but deliberately came to humiliate me and others, and I don't know who gave you such a big courage when you were just a glimpse of the garbage in the realm, or you really think that the old man would not dare to kill you!" ”

After speaking, the coercion of the powerhouse of the reincarnation realm pressed towards Zou Shun fiercely, Zou Shun's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you can't kill me, I, I am the messenger of the Xuanxuan Alliance, I, I am an elder appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, I ••••••"

"Hmph, I don't care who you are!" Fu Heng shouted angrily, pointed at Zou Shun with one finger, poof, and the next moment, Zou Shun's eyebrows were pierced, and his eyes were wide open.

Fu Heng didn't look at it, and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, return this corpse to the people who are with him, and tell them that this person is arrogant and domineering in my Linghua army, and he doesn't take us in his eyes, and he is beheaded by Elder Ben, and then sends a message to him to destroy the Xuan Alliance, about the attack on Tianxuan Ridge, let's do our own thing, it's best not to provoke us, otherwise, Lao Tzu will make him regret it!" ”

The soldiers were ordered to drag Zou Shun's body away, and it was only at this time that the rest of the generals reacted, and they couldn't help laughing, they were also angry by Zou Shun's arrogance just now, but now, they all breathed out fiercely.

After Feng Wanchun laughed, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Elder, after all, he is the envoy sent by the other party, and that is the force established by Li Tianyou's order, if he kills him like this, will it cause any trouble?" ”

"Hehe, the general thinks too highly of them, these people are just a group of ants in Li Tianyou's eyes, but they don't care about their life or death at all, do you still think that Li Tianyou will bother for such a small minion, I bet that the people of the Xuan Xuan Alliance don't even have the courage to report, haha." Fu Heng said with a smile.

"However, didn't the elder say before that he wanted to enter the high-level of the Xuanxuan Destroying Alliance, and now that you have killed their envoys, won't this cut off our way?" Feng Wanchun continued.

"Hehe, I'm afraid this Xuanxuan Annihilation Alliance is not what we imagined, now they are expanding rapidly with the support of the Yeyue Empire, I'm afraid they are a little unpopular, from the attitude of that guy just now, it can be seen that they don't care about us at all, hmph, they actually asked us to clean up the periphery, and they ate Tianxuanling alone, monopolizing all the benefits of it, it can also be seen that they are full of confidence in themselves." Fu Heng said.

"But what does that mean?" Feng Wanchun was puzzled.

"This shows that, first, they do have considerable strength and confidence, I am afraid that there are not only the disciples of these forces, but also the elite troops of the Yeyue Empire, otherwise, it is impossible for them to form combat effectiveness through short-term training, and second, they are very ambitious, they want to replace Tianxuanling and become the controller of the Huanhua Wetland, so they don't want us to get a piece of the pie!" Fu Heng said.

When Feng Wanchun heard this, his expression became a little solemn, and he said, "In this way, Tianxuanling is really a little dangerous. ”

Fu Heng smiled and said: "But we are here, and Tianxuanling is not as fragile as you think, the turtle grandsons of the Xuanxuan Alliance, do they think that they have completely mastered the road to Tianxuanling, those roads may not be safe, and besides, why does the general think that the old man would kill Zou Shun so simply?" ”

Feng Wanchun was taken aback and said, "Elder has another deep meaning!?" ”

"Of course!" Fu Heng narrowed his eyes and said: "The old man just wants to deliberately create some trouble, and when the time comes, we will have an excuse to attack the Xuanxuan Alliance, hmph, since we can't break into their core layer at once, then break them up, and then we will integrate this garbage." ”

Feng Wanchun's eyes showed excitement when he heard this, and he smiled: "In this way, the general trend of the entire Huanhua Wetland is in our hands, and Li Tianyou never dreamed that the plan he worked hard to implement was to make a wedding dress for us, and he also had to provide us with a lot of resources for development, hehe, I really don't know, if he learns the truth, what will he be angry!" ”

Fu Heng sighed and said, "It's not that simple, our troubles haven't started yet, the situation in the entire Huanhua Wetland is still in chaos, and the battlefield on the side of the Zong Alliance is even more worrying!" ”
