In the northern region of the Yeyue Empire, in a secret room at the headquarters of the Shangyuan Sect, twelve people sat cross-legged on the ground, and they were the supreme decision-makers of the Shangyuan Sect.

An old man in gray who sat at the top of the dragon bell half-squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Since Li Tianyou purged the entire martial arts, my sect has chosen to be false and wrong, so that it has sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of disciples to preserve the inheritance of my sect. ”

"Elder Tianyi doesn't have to be sad, no matter what, at least we have preserved the most essential part of the sect, this is not easy, now, our chance to rise has come." The next old man in a plain robe said.

"Hmph, Elder Tianer is right, the reason why we groveled in the past was not because our strength was not as good as others, and if the news brought back by the disciples three years ago was true, it would be an opportunity for our sect to take a leap, there was no chance before, but now, the opportunity has come!" A couple in their fifties spoke.

"Elder Tiansan, what is the opportunity you are talking about, you must know that although we have been plotting against the Linghua Sect, and in the past three years, we have been trying our best to send spies to the Linghua Sect and install disciples, but the effect that those jobs can have now is not worth mentioning, and what is even more tragic is that the Linghua Sect's several purges have eliminated all the people we sent, hey." A middle-aged man spoke.

"Elder Tianqi is right, and according to the current strength of Ling Hua Sect, it is not something we can compete with at all, hey, the most tricky thing is that even if we tell the news to Li Tianyou now, with the power of the empire, there is no way to take Ling Hua Sect, if we don't get it, we will still make a fuss." An old woman sitting at the end spoke.

Elder Tiansan smiled slightly, and said: "Elder Tiansan should not be in a hurry, if it is a strong attack, we will definitely not be the opponent of Linghua Sect, after so many years of development in our sect, there are only twelve powerhouses in the realm of life and death, hidden so deeply, naturally there is a plan, but with our current strength, if we want to fight with Linghua Sect, we are looking for death, but now we have a great opportunity, if we have the inheritance obtained by Linghua Sect, Senior Brother is very likely to be promoted to the Void Realm!" ”

Everyone was slightly excited when they heard this, and after a while, Elder Tiansan coughed dryly twice, pulled everyone's thoughts back, and continued to speak: "At present, the situation in the north must be known to everyone, the strength of the Linghua Sect has been divided into many shares, and the Dugu tribe in the west is the most, attracting most of their strength, and the imperial military captain of the empire is also holding back his forces at Tianlei Pass, and the Northern Alliance will definitely find the right time to give a blow." ”

After a pause, she continued to speak: "Such a multi-front battle, even if he Linghuazong has developed well over the years, even if he Linghuazong has more masters and more soldiers, I'm afraid it will be a little stretched, and the empire is probably quite unwilling to lose control of the north, but because he doesn't have enough strength now, he can only let it go." ”

A purple-clothed beauty's eyes lit up suddenly when she heard this, and she said, "Elder Tiansan is saying that we can go to the emperor and say that we are willing to send troops to conquer Ling Huazong!" ”

Elder Tiansan smiled and nodded: "Elder Tianliu is right, and there is another advantage to doing so, although the Beitang family is currently in a situation where the second son has seized the throne, and the family is relatively chaotic, but, after all, they are the four major families, with a deep heritage, and the current Northern Regions have not yet escaped their control, and if they go out at this time, they will definitely be able to call the Beitang family to dispatch manpower and troops, as long as we get the dominance of the battlefield, those people from the Beitang family are not ••••••."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and a rugged man stroked his palms and laughed: "Haha, Elder Tiansan is worthy of being the wise man among us, such killing two birds with one stone, it is simply paving a broad road for the future of my sect, as long as the power of the Beitang family is partially eliminated, then, next, the control of the Northern Regions will fall into the hands of my Shangyuan Sect." ”

The next day, on the Jinluan Hall of the Yeyue Empire, Li Tianyou looked at the ministers below and said lightly: "I received the list from the Sect Master of Shangyuan Sect, and they expressed their willingness to send 200,000 disciples to form an army to attack the Hongshi Pass of Linghua Sect, what do you Aiqing think about this?" ”

Li Yan, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses sitting in the imperial capital and the head of the nine generalissimos, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, at this time, Ling Huazong's forces are scattered, according to the latest intelligence analysis we have obtained, the current number of troops stationed in their headquarters is less than one million, and the maximum number of troops that can be dispatched is only 500,000. ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, he showed a hint of joy slightly, but then he was silent again, and only after a moment did he speak: "Even so, these 200,000 people from Shangyuan Sect alone can't do anything to other people, it's just to send them to death." ”

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have troops, has Your Majesty forgotten the Beitang family, there are also some other families who can also requisition some troops, and the imperial court will take out another 50,000, if you calculate it, it is not a problem to dispatch a million troops." ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, he was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he was calm and calm, and said lightly: "Uncle Huang, please continue." ”

Li Yan said: "The army is conquest, the most important thing is the choice of generals, it's a pity that the old minister can't leave the imperial capital, so the choice of the leading generals is extremely important, Shangyuan Sect, as a sect, may be able to train some ordinary generals, but they can't train generals who can lead millions of troops and attack the city, so this general must not be a person from Shangyuan Sect!" ”

At this time, the secretary of the military department stood up and said: "I agree with the generalissimo's statement, but since this matter was proposed by Shangyuan Sect, if the position of the main general is given to others, it will be a little too much, not to mention, can the empire find a more suitable person now, although Cai Wenyong of Shangyuan Sect is not a general, but he can barely be competent, as long as he is equipped with a suitable supervisor, it should be foolproof." ”

Li Yan shook his head and said: "Lord Shangshu, war is not child's play, and you should know who we will face once we attack Hongshi Pass, this is the first point, the second point, Shangyuan Sect, as a martial arts sect, actually took the initiative to ask to attack the pass, don't you think it's strange?" ”

At this time, Wu Tongcai stood up and said: "What the generalissimo said is good, if Shang Yuanzong's move has no purpose, I'm afraid no one will believe it, so we have to guard against it, but what if they have a purpose, as long as it doesn't affect the empire's plans, as long as it doesn't conflict with the interests of the empire, as long as it's still within the control of the empire, what if it gives them some benefits?" ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't speak, they were silent for a moment, and the right prime minister spoke: "Master Wu is right, for a martial arts force like Shangyuan Sect, we must use and prevent it, we must give some benefits, but we can't ask for anything, so the minister thinks that Shang Yuanzong's proposal can be passed, form a large army, and attack Hongshi Pass, but the main general of the army can't give Shang Yuanzong, but it can be given to a deputy general, and at the same time, the imperial court will send a strong man of the first worship tower as a supervisor, the main purpose is to deal with local powerhouses, There is also the option of spying on the Shangyuan Sect to see what they really want! ”

Everyone thought for a moment, and all agreed with the statement of the right prime minister, and Li Tianyou also nodded his appreciation for the right prime minister's thoughtful consideration, and then asked: "Who can be the commander of the army?" ”

Li Yan opened his mouth and said: "Beitang Ao, Beitang Ao, his leading talent is actually above his brother Beitang Mo, but he has not shown it all the time, he has been by the side of the old minister all these years, and he also knows more about his people and ministers, which can be of great use, and with Beitang Ao as the main general, His Majesty can recruit at least 500,000 elite troops from the Beitang family, Shangyuan Sect, as the proposer, cannot be too stingy, at least 300,000, and the rest of the families can recruit 200,000 to 300,000, so if it is calculated, the million army can be easily obtained." ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, there was irrepressible excitement in his eyes, but at this time, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "Generalissimo, is it too ruthless to recruit so many troops in the Beitang family at once, do they do this, are they willing." ”

Li Yan smiled coldly and said: "After the death of Beitang Mo, the Beitang family fell into the embarrassing situation of the two sons competing for the throne, the two heirs did not give in to each other, and the infighting continued, do you know that their fighting consumption has reached more than 10,000 people, and they are all elites above the Nine Secluded Realms, rather than internal friction, it is better for the empire to conquer the foreign empire, in this way, I am afraid that the entire Northern Regions will also be more stable." ”

On the Jinluan Palace, the laughter of a group of old foxes spread.

••••••

Qiu Jinlong sat alone in his military tent, frowning, lowering his head, and muttering to himself: "That woman named Xiangning must be a spy sent by the enemy, but logically speaking, his first target of temptation should be Feng Wanchun, but through my observation in the past few days, she just ran to tempt a few partial generals, what is going on?" ”

Just when Qiu Jinlong was puzzled, a burst of silver bell-like laughter came into his ears, Qiu Jinlong was suddenly startled, raised his head and shouted: "Who! ”

The curtain was gently opened by a small hand like green white jade, and a graceful and angry figure slowly walked in, before he could see the woman's face, Qiu Jinlong already had a feeling of blood gushing, and his heartbeat increased three times in an instant, if there was not still a trace of reason, the nosebleed pig brother must have been revealed.

"Mei Gong, it's Mei Gong again, but why is the power of this Mei Gong so strong, it feels a little similar to Mei Ji's Mei Gong, but, how is that possible, it is absolutely impossible for Mei Ji to come here, and it is absolutely impossible for us people to perform Mei Gong, so, who is this woman? Could it be that in addition to Xiang Ning, Ye Yuejun also sent another Mei Gong master to come! Qiu Jinlong thought in horror.

"Hehe, general, can you bear to look at the concubine standing outside the account like this?" The woman's voice came into Qiu Jinlong's ears slowly, like resentment, resentment and begging, so that Qiu Jinlong's thoughts gradually fell into a fog, and he was almost about to open his mouth to let her in.

After a long time, Qiu Jinlong spoke with great difficulty and whispered: "Who are you, this is a military camp, and it will not be good for you to mess around!" ”

When the woman heard this, she let out a burst of giggles, and said: "Why is the general so ruthless, the slave family has not harmed the general's heart here, on the contrary, it has brought a great opportunity to the general, and it is guaranteed to allow the general to show his strengths, and he will soar, hehe." ”

Qiu Jinlong's eyes began to become confused, his breathing gradually became heavy, his lips opened and closed several times, but he didn't make a sound, after a while, he couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, flicked wildly, and roared loudly, and after a long time he hoarse voice, and said intermittently: "No matter who you are, no matter what you want to do, all of them, get away from Ben, Lao Tzu, don't eat this set, ah~~~!" ”

Seeing the appearance of Qiu Jinlong slamming his head on the ground, the woman smiled with satisfaction and slowly walked into the military tent, as she walked, Qiu Jinlong actually felt that the effect of the charm was gradually disappearing, until the woman came to him, and the charm was completely gone.

Qiu Jinlong let out a long breath, slowly stood up, and looked at the woman in front of him, however, to his slight disappointment, the woman's face was covered with a veil, and he didn't know what material, even the divine thoughts couldn't penetrate it, but the eyes that were revealed had a kind of seductive taste, if she was not strong-willed, she might be willing to go to the soup for it.

Seeing that Qiu Jinlong had recovered a little, the woman bowed and said softly: "General Qiu is so determined, the little woman had the courage to try it before, and I hope the general will not be surprised." ”

Exhaling again, Qiu Jinlong said in a deep voice: "Who are you, what is the purpose of coming to this general's account, and besides, there is such a commotion here, why no one has come to check, what happened to you to my soldiers!" ”

Faced with Qiu Jinlong's series of questions, the woman smiled slightly and said, "The concubine is Mei Ling, Mei Ji is my sister." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Jinlong felt a bang in his head, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and then he thought of the horror of that charm, Qiu Jinlong couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time he was a little lucky, fortunately he withstood it just now, fortunately this is not an enemy.

I only heard Mei Ling continue: "The Lord sent me to help you secretly, and there is also a secret order for you, as for the little guy called Xiangning, hehe, let her jump first." After speaking, he gave a note to Qiu Jinlong, and then added: "By the way, all this is ordered by the Lord, and besides, don't let others know about my existence, as for those soldiers of yours, hehe, this girl just made them have a good dream, very fragrant kind of oh, giggles." ”

In a string of silver bell-like laughter, Mei Ling's figure slowly disappeared, but Qiu Jinlong was attracted to the heat, shook his head violently, ran Zhenyuan to erase that feeling, and cursed a goblin in his mouth, which put Zhenyuan into the spell.

••••••

In the extreme northwest of the Huanhua Wetland, this is a place where only the craziest adventurers will come, there are not only terrifying third-level or even fourth-level spirit beasts, but also Jedi that make people have no way to enter and exit, unguardable poisons, strange and unpredictable mutations, in short, enter this area, nine deaths.

Of course, the benefits of this are also unimaginable, the precious mineral resources, the rare treasures of heaven and earth, and even some people have obtained the powerful inheritance techniques of their predecessors in it, and the items that have been brought out are enough to make people crazy.

In a green willow forest, a man carrying a guqin and a fair woman wearing a red flower dress walked side by side, the two walked silently, no one spoke, however, from their demeanor, they were so peaceful and quiet.

However, the man's face was slightly sad, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes looked around from time to time, and occasionally let out a slight sigh, and the woman's whole body was placed on the man next to her, watching his every move, as if every small movement of his could cause her heart to ripple.

Finally, after the man sighed again, the woman said softly: "Tianqinzi, don't worry too much, senior sister, she just can't think about it for a while, maybe she is looking for a place to hide, and after a while, she will naturally come back to you, and with the strength of senior sister's life and death situation, it is estimated that no one can do anything to him." ”

Tianqinzi said leisurely when she heard this: "Actually, I know all this, but before I see her in person, I can't rest assured anyway, Linghua, I have always known your heart that I failed you, but after all, your senior sister is a woman who has accompanied me for thousands of years, how can I let go of this love." ”

When Linghua Gu heard this, her heart was full of sourness, but after thinking about it, she smiled again, and said: "This is my favorite point about you, it has been more than a thousand years, it has never changed, I said, you want to find your senior sister, I don't object, and I will accompany you to find it, if you abandon your senior sister like this, I still have to suspect that you are no longer you." ”

Tianqinzi smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said: "Hey, my character has suffered you and your senior sister, sometimes, I wonder what it would be like now if I went to the Northland with you at the beginning." ”

Hearing this, Linghua Gu's body trembled slightly, and her eyes were slightly red and said: "It's enough for you to have such an idea, I don't blame you, really, in fact, I have never blamed you, as long as I can be with you, I can do without everything else." ”

Tianqinzi sighed, smiled, and said: "It's been more than a month since I entered this polar region, you and I have experienced several wars, and almost lost my life, she was taken away by the ghost old man, we have already found several extreme yin places in this southern land, and there is another one here, if you can't find it here, then it is estimated that it is the result you said, let's go back to Tianqin Valley, I think if she figures it out, she will definitely go back to find us." ”

When Linghua Gu heard this, she instantly smiled like a flower, and nodded again and again: "Everything is up to you." ”

Suddenly, Lyrako reached out to stop Linghua Gu's progress, and made a silent gesture towards her, and then the two of them dodged and hid in a dense bush, completely disappearing from the perception of others.

After about a stick of incense, a group of five or six people came to the place where they were hiding, they did not walk fast, it seemed that this area was a relatively safe area, and several people were very relaxed.

A small-eyed man who looked very shrewd said to a majestic man, "I said, boss, something strange has happened to our north recently, do you know?" ”

Dahan shook his head and said: "Lao Tzu is not interested in those things, how can you know, you kid can say something if you have something, let it go if you have a fart, don't talk there." ”

Another young woman giggled and said: "Third child, I just said, let you not sell it in front of the boss, you still want to do this, look, you are scolded, you deserve it, hehe." ”

The third child rolled his eyes, and then said: "You all know the original place of Sikong League, since they annexed Tianxuanling, isn't it vacant, but later it was occupied by the people of the Yuyang Gang, which makes the people around you envious, didn't our brothers also have an idea." ”

The big man was a little impatient when he heard this, and he gave the third child a violent shudder, and shouted: "Tell the point!" ”

The third man covered his head, and screamed for a while before he said aggrievedly: "Just three days ago, a monster came there, it looks like a woman, but the whole face has become similar to a ghost, and there is a pair of fangs, this is not the most terrible, the most terrifying thing is that this monster will kill as soon as it comes to the Yuyang Gang, and in less than three hours, more than 2,000 people in the Yuyang Gang have been killed, including the gang leader of their reincarnation realm. ”

Hearing this, the young woman said contemptuously: "Cut, isn't it just a story of a monster killing people, which of us didn't come from the mountain of corpses and blood, the third child, are you still missing the lives in your hands, what's so strange about this, if we go all out, what kind of reincarnation realm gang leader is not the same to hate?" ”

The third child glanced at the woman with disdain, and said: "What do you know, if it is just to kill people, there is really nothing remarkable, but after that monster kills people, it will suck all the essence and blood of their bodies dry, and turn them into a dry corpse, hum, sixth, don't say that you often see this kind of thing." ”

The big man frowned slightly when he heard this, but at this time, a slightly chubby man in his forties and fifties spoke: "In this way, the strength of that monster is quite strong, but that's fine, after that monster leaves, we can go and occupy that place, and then open a market to earn the resources of the entire northern region, hehe." ”

When the third child heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Okay, second brother, don't think about it, that monster seems to have identified that place, just around there, no matter who it is, as long as it is close to a mile there, it will inevitably be attacked and killed by that monster." ”

Another middle-aged woman spoke, "Sikong Alliance is a good place there, didn't the rest of the guys think about killing that monster and then taking that place for themselves?" ”

"Hehe, you've thought of it, fourth, how could others not think of it, in the past two days, several groups of people have gone to kill the monster, but the result is that none of the people who went came back, all of them were killed and turned into people." The third child seemed to be more and more excited, and said with spittle: "Just yesterday, two old monsters from the realm of life and death came out to call on everyone to go and kill monsters, and organized more than 300 strong people, and their cultivation has at least reached the yin and yang realm, but the result is still the same, including the two old monsters of the realm of life and death, they were not spared, and they all died!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, but the two Tianqinzi who were hidden in the shadows listened to all their conversations, thought for a moment, and saw that those people were about to leave their sight, Tianqinzi's figure flashed in front of those people, and Linghua Gu also appeared at the same time, and the momentum of the two broke out unabashedly, crushing this group of adventurers who cultivated to the highest level of life and death almost to the ground.

"Seniors, if we have any offenses, please say clearly, we will sincerely change, and please be merciful to our seniors." The big man gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

Nodding with satisfaction, the two slowly retracted their momentum, and Tianqinzi said lightly: "Let me ask you, is what you just said about Sikong Alliance true?" ”

The third child hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the seniors, what the little one said just now is true, this matter is now known to the entire northern region, and the seniors only need to find someone to inquire casually to know that the little one is not lying." ”

"Does anyone know where that monster came from?" Tenkoto continued to ask.

The third child shook his head and said, "At first, no one paid attention at all, and when everyone came back to their senses, they were all frightened by the monster, and no one knew his origin." ”

"Can anyone see the monster's attack?" Linghua Gu suddenly interjected and asked.

Lao San said: "It is said that he didn't use any martial arts at all, but his combat consciousness and fighting instinct are very strong, very common poke and stab, but in his use, it is just right, and because of this, everyone speculates that he should be a very strong man, at least at the high level of life and death!" ”

Tianqinzi was slightly distracted when he heard this, which reminded him of his wife, and seeing this, Linghua Gu continued to speak: "You mean that the monster has been hovering in the Sikong Alliance, never leaving, and no one is allowed to approach, so what else has he done?" ”

When the third child heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "I didn't do anything else, well, by the way, he would let out a very sad howl there every night, but no one knew what it meant." ”

Next, the scene fell into an eerie silence, and after a while, it seemed that he couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and the sixth raised his head and called out timidly, "Senior." ”

When Linghua Gu heard this, her expression did not change, and she waved her hand and said, "Let's go." When they heard this, they fled as if they had been amnestied.

It was only at this time that Tianqinzi's body began to tremble slightly, and it became more and more intense, and she muttered: "It's her, I have a feeling, it must be her, she turned out to be like this, damn ghost old man, what did he do to her, made her look like this, no, I'm going to see, I must go and see!" ”

Linghua Gu came to Tianqinzi's side, held his arm and said: "You calm down, let's go over and have a look, but maybe it's not her at all, you know, Senior Sister is a strong person who knows Wei Wei in the realm of life and death, although she is not the top in the level of Zhiwei, but if you want to hurt her, no one can do it, not to mention, he hasn't used any martial arts, so you must be calm, otherwise, with the way you are now, even if you see him, you can't help him." ”

Perhaps it was these words that had an effect, Tianqinzi gradually calmed down, looked at Linghua Gu, and said softly: "Linghua, thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do now." ”

Linghua Gu smiled slightly: "Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you, I said, I am willing to be by your side all the time, okay, now let's go, go and see if it is her." ”
