After paying the price of nearly 20,000 people, the Yeyue army finally retreated to the mouth of the valley, although it is the mouth of the valley, but it is also a huge passage with a width of one mile.

Nan Guoyan looked at the thirty snakes left in front of her, but they were dozens of zhang thick and hundreds of zhang long, there was no fear or the slightest worry in her eyes, just like a calm lake, without the slightest wave, she said lightly: "Tianshi team, it's time for you to appear, if these are just ninth-level peak demon beasts can't deal with it, you can go and sweep the stables yourself." ”

There was no response, only a click of footsteps gradually faded away, in front of the Yeyue Army, the shield array separated, and then slowly retreated, a group of sergeants wearing pale gold armor walked out, exactly a thousand people, they held a pale gold shield of freedom in their left hand, and a pale gold spear in their right hand, the tip of the spear was spiral-shaped, and there was a strong white light mist on it, and the gun body was engraved with complex Xuan patterns, and there was a flash of light circulating, this turned out to be a quasi-spiritual weapon!

These thousand people quickly replaced the original shield array, due to the advantage of the terrain, they now only need to face a maximum of two big snakes at a time, however, to the surprise of all Ye Yue Army, these people did not take a defensive posture, as soon as they came up, while the big snake's thinking had not yet changed, its commander spit out a word "Kill!" ”

There was no imposing roar, only the sound of the clicking and running footsteps, and a pale golden torrent rushed straight towards those big snakes, at this time, the big snakes also seemed to react, and suddenly became angry, hissed, and threw their tails directly.

The two soldiers who were about to be attacked by the tails of the two big snakes did not change their expressions, and even the pace of the charge under their feet did not change, just before the tail was about to come to their bodies, they used a shield strike at the same time, and with a bang, the tail of the big snake and the shield of freedom collided together, this was simply a pure strength fight, however, the next moment, all the soldiers of the Yeyue Army let out an exclamation in unison, and the result was that the tail of the big snake was knocked away, and the soldier just took a footstep, and his whole body flashed, He kept up with the rhythm of the big army again and rushed towards the big snake!

Just when the tail of the big snake was smashed and roared in pain, the soldiers of the Tiens team had already rushed to the front of the big snake, and their body was not even ants compared to the big snake, however, it was this group of ants who used the spear in their hands to stab the huge body out of thousands of blood holes in an instant, and the sound of the sharp blade snorting into the flesh sounded continuously, and the terrible roar of the big snake did not stop, it was just a breath or two. There were thousands of blood holes in the bodies of the two big snakes, and the pale green snake blood gushed out, and they all gathered into a small tan under their bodies.

However, the big snake is not a vegetarian, and by such a series of attacks, it instantly aroused its ferocity, its big mouth opened, and a large piece of dark green gas spit out, covering a range of five zhang, and shrouded towards the soldiers below.

However, just as they were spitting out the poisonous gas, several cold shouts suddenly rang out: "Wall of Fire!" As the sound fell, two large pale blue flames burned under the poisonous gas, and the range just blocked the poisonous gas completely, and the next second, the poisonous gas fell into the flames, making a slight clanging sound, and then a black smoke rose, and after a while, the flames disappeared, and the poisonous gases disappeared.

In just a short time, countless holes were added to the body of the big snake, and due to the obstruction of the terrain, the big snake behind could not be replenished at all, one by one could only roar in the back, but nothing could be done, a golden healing wave catapulted onto the body of the big snake, and its injuries recovered quickly, however, at this moment, a black charm appeared in the hand of a soldier, and threw it on the body of the big snake, and a green smoke suddenly drilled into the body of the big snake, and in an instant, their injuries stopped recovering, It's as if you've never been treated with light waves.

The big snake roared angrily, and its huge body pressed down heavily, wanting to rely on its heavy body to crush these ants to death, however, just in front of its head, a shield of freedom quickly became larger, but in the blink of an eye, it became as big as five or six zhang in a radius, the whole body was golden and dazzling, and it was wrapped in a powerful and incomparable momentum that hit the snake's head, boom, a loud sound that was enough to break the eardrum spread throughout the battlefield, and the next moment, the big snake let out an extremely sharp hiss, Its entire body fell backwards with a thud, slamming to the ground with a thud, and even the barbarians five miles away felt the ground shake.

At this time, the body of the big snake was already in tatters, and it was no longer able to stand upright when it fell, and its huge body writhed on the ground for about a stick of incense before it gradually stopped and stopped moving, however, what shocked everyone next was that the big snake behind it no longer devoured their corpses, but swept it out with a tail, and then roared and attacked the humans in front.

In the sky, in the face of the masters of the Yeyue Army, whose qualities have greatly increased, although the masters of the barbarian army were a little surprised, but they did not panic, a thin and short, with five colors painted on his face, and the barbarians who could not see the men and women took out a beehive the size of a human head, and chanted a few words in his mouth, and then saw dense bees flying out of it, and after a while, it was a large piece that covered the sky and the sun, enough to cover a hundred zhang square, and the next moment, with a strange cry of the man, there was a buzz, The swarm of bees shrouded towards the masters of the Yeyue Army.

Seeing the swarm of bees coming, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of all the masters, and one of them waved the staff in his hand, which was also a move of the wall of fire, but it was more than ten times stronger than those of the gold-armored soldiers, however, the next moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen, the swarm of bees actually pierced out of the wall of fire, and it didn't seem to have been hurt at all!

However, their reaction was also extremely fast, and their bodies immediately retreated, and another master also waved his staff at the same time, shouting: "Frozen for thousands of miles!" ”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in this area, and the temperature dropped suddenly, just in the blink of an eye, a large number of ice flowers appeared to surround the flying bee colony, this trick seemed to be useful for the bee colony, their speed suddenly decreased, but the effort of a breath was frozen into an iceberg, stopped in mid-air but did not fall.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, everyone in the Yeyue Army felt a little novel, just when they were pondering the reason, there was a slight red light flickering in the iceberg, and then they heard the sound of clattering ice blocks, and everyone was shocked at this time, and one of them muttered: "Is this bee actually invulnerable to fire and water?" ”

"No, you see, those bees used to break the ice are clearly fire attribute attacks, and although ice is essentially water attribute, it does not restrain fire, so if you want to kill these bees, it should be a water attribute attack, not an ice attribute!" A life-and-death realm powerhouse spoke.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, and at this moment, the iceberg made a bang, and then turned into a piece of broken ice and fell to the ground, and those bees were flashing with fiery red light on their bodies, but they stopped for a moment, and then buzzed and vibrated their wings, wanting to attack everyone.

A cold snort came, and another Yeyue Army master waved his staff and shouted: "The waves are turbulent!" "Bang, a wave that is enough to envelop the whole bee colony towards the bee colony, as soon as I see the waves coming, the bee colony seems to be very afraid, turn around and run, however, the speed of the wave is extremely fast, the bee colony has not run far before it is caught up, boom to cover a solid knot, at this time I heard an angry strange cry from the barbarian army, look over but find that the thin and short guy is jumping up and down there, chirping and wah, comparing and drawing, but I don't understand the meaning, But it can be seen that he is very angry now!

The battle in the sky soon entered a white heat, all kinds of magic decisions, witchcraft, beast control techniques, etc. were frequently used, and Pei Yan in the distance was already dizzy, and he only hated that he couldn't rush up to fight.

Ziyun's pretty face was also flushed, as if she had just come out of the sauna, and she said while staring intently at the battlefield: "It's really a rare battle, the battle of dozens of law cultivators, wizards, and beast masters on both sides, such a grand battle, I have seen it for the first time, the confrontation of the law is really shocking, and the gods of both sides, the control of treatment and recovery is really too accurate, the battle of masters, this is the real battle of masters!" ”

At the mouth of the valley, thirty big snakes have been solved by the Tianshi team, and thirty huge corpses lie across the valley mouth, but they have become a barrier for the Yeyue Army, however, for all the deaths of his subordinates, the Nine Colored Poison Emperor is indifferent, it sizzled out the snake letter, turned its head and meandered away, not looking at those barbarians, but disappeared in a breath or two.

Regarding the departure of the Nine Colored Poison Emperor, the barbarian whose face was covered with color didn't seem to care at all, and continued to blow out a strange and ugly bass, Nan Guoyan's eyes changed slightly, and he said in his heart: "These barbarians, are they going to summon some weird demon beasts to attack." Thinking of this, she suddenly ordered: "The whole army is on alert, I'm afraid they are going to summon something weird again, the Tianshi team withdraws, and the shield array is in the forefront!" ”

The order was issued, and the formation changed accordingly, however, next, the barbarian army still had no intention of attacking, just stood there motionless, just when the Yeyue army was inexplicable, there was a very fine rustling sound, everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it, Mo Li's eyes lit up, and said: "Could it be that the Nine Colored Poison Emperor has summoned a large number of snakes to run over!" ”

Nan Guo Yan shook his head and said: "Impossible, even if it is the Nine Colored Poison Emperor, it is not possible to summon so many snakes in a short period of time, besides, the wisdom of the Nine Colored Poison Emperor is very high, it must know that we have the ability to kill it, so when we kill all its snakes, it will leave without looking back." ”

Mo Li was surprised: "So, what is this sound coming from now, it sounds a little infiltrating." ”

Nan Guo Yan shook his head and didn't speak, and in the next moment, they saw that the barbarian army in the distance became even more frightened, desperately squeezing on both sides, and even dozens of people had already flown into the sky, and more and more people climbed up along the mountain walls on both sides.

Nan Guo Yan's eyes lit up, and he was about to order the archers to release their arrows, but he suddenly saw a black line appear at the entrance of the South Pass of the Bottle, advancing towards them at a very fast speed, but it was only a moment's effort, and the back of the black line became a black ocean, and everywhere it passed, everything disappeared, including stones and soil!

"That, what is that, even those boulders after the collapse of the city wall can be destroyed like decay, such a terrible power, how can we stop it!" Mo Li said with some fear.

"Don't scare yourself, this must be some strange creature summoned by the barbarian, it's just the characteristics of the creature, Mo Li, remember, fear comes from the unknown, the reason why you are afraid is because you don't know what it is, but as long as you overcome this fear and analyze it carefully, then the bureau will soon be able to come up with the answer."

Mo Li responded, but his heart was still sudden, at this moment, there was an exclamation from the barbarian army, and everyone immediately raised their eyes, only to see that the black tide had come to the place where the barbarian army was, and went straight over, however, the outermost people who happened to block the black tide path turned into a white bone in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of people in the barbarian army turned into white bones!

"Man-eating ants, man-eating ants!" At this moment, everyone saw clearly what it was, and immediately someone screamed, and the atmosphere suddenly became restless.

Nan Guo Yan's face is also quite ugly, man-eating ants are not demon beasts, they have no strength alone, however, once their number gathers to a certain extent, it will be very terrifying, it can be said that water and fire are invulnerable, wind and thunder can't help it, and they are not afraid of poison, in front of it, everything has to give way.

"Generalissimo, let's retreat quickly, in front of these things, how many of us will get in." Mo Li said anxiously.

Nan Guo Yan also sighed deeply and said, "My Southern Regions are also about to enter an era of chaos, and the whole army will retreat!" ”

••••••

On the Jinluan Hall of the Yeyue Empire, Li Tianyou fell silent after listening to Wutong's return to the Eastern Regions, at this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not have any good ideas, and the needles fell in the entire hall.

After a long while, the right prime minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the ministers and others have misunderstood the old marshal Shan before, if the old ghost of the Dongfang family really intervenes in the Eastern Regions, then things will be much more troublesome." ”

Li Tianyou said: "There is no doubt that the Dongfang family is involved in the Eastern Regions, and the Taishang Second Worship has already fought with Dongfang Cang and Dongfang Tian of the Dongfang Family, and it can already be determined that they are colluding with the Donglin Kingdom and the major martial arts forces in the Eastern Regions. ”

At this time, Lantai Yushi came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if there is an Oriental family operating behind the scenes, the old marshal Shan should not just give over a large area of territory to others, you know, the resources there are enough to supply the continuous consumption of millions of troops, if it is managed well, it can even gradually develop, and form a long-term confrontation with our army, so the minister thinks that the old marshal Shan's move is very inappropriate." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately supported by some people and seconded it, but Li Tianyou did not say anything, but at this time Li Yan stood up and said: "Lord Yushi just made an analysis from the aspects of land and resources, but he never considered it from the military and strategic aspects. ”

Lantai Yushi turned his head, looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, "Hehe, the lower officials listen to the generalissimo's high opinion." ”

Li Yan didn't care about his attitude, and said: "All the territories east of Aoki City are plains, even if there are occasionally some mountains and forests, they are not a favorable condition for soldiers, but it is extremely unfavorable for the army to fight, you know, the other party has two virtual realm powerhouses, and there is only one on our side, one is not good, and the two worshippers may fall, therefore, fighting the enemy there, the final result will definitely be a heavy blow to our army!" ”

When Lantai Yushi heard this, his heart jumped, and he said: "I originally just wanted to take this opportunity to participate in that unit dragon book to avenge the revenge of the day, but I didn't expect that it seemed to be a bit of a sign of trouble." ”

At this moment, Li Yan's voice sounded again: "In those places, although we have cities, but their defensive power is not worth mentioning at all in front of the powerhouses of the Void Realm, and the result is still the same, and the current situation of the empire cannot afford such a loss." ”

"Aoki City, as the capital of the entire Eastern Regions, has a strong formation prohibition there, even the strong people of the Void Realm do not dare to act recklessly, besides, if you take the initiative to give up those places, the enemy army will inevitably spend a lot of time to digest, which also gives us the opportunity to adjust our tactics and deployment, with the advantages of Aoki City, we can even confront the enemy for a long time, so, this commander believes that the approach of the unit dragon is correct, and it is the only correct choice at present!"

Li Tianyou also nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the Generalissimo said is reasonable, there is a matter about the Eastern Regions, I have decided to hand it over to Old Marshal Shan, and there is no need to discuss it in the future!" ”

All the ministers nodded when they heard this, and at this time, Li Tianyou took out another copy and said: "The secret report from the Western Regions, Ximen Changli constantly launched sneak attacks on the alliance of the three major countries, but they all ended in failure, and every time they lost a large number of elites, some time ago, they sent out the generals of Long Wuwei and Feng Yiwei, but as a result, the two guards were wiped out, hum, this Ximen Changli, this Ximen family, what do they want to do!" ”

At this time, Wu Tong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ambition of the wolf son of the Ximen family has been revealed, and the reason why Ximen Changli did this is to take all the troops loyal to His Majesty to death, and then control those unknown soldiers, and finally achieve the goal of splitting the entire Western Regions!" ”

This remark did not cause much repercussions, and the right prime minister came out and said: "What Lord Wu said is not bad, in fact, some time ago we have analyzed the current situation of the Ximen family, among the three major families, the Beitang family is the weakest, it is certain that they do not have a strong man in the virtual realm, and the Nanguo family has a strong man in the virtual realm on his face, but their strength is also known by the imperial court, at least they have no intention of betraying the empire, but this Ximen family is too mysterious, and we still don't know whether they are also the existence of the strong people in the virtual realm, And even with their middle and high-level strength, we are not sure whether the information obtained is true, so the ambition of the Simon family is beyond doubt, and what Ximen Changli did was nothing more than to reduce resistance. ”

Li Tianyou heard this, although there was no reaction on the surface, but the anger in his heart could be seen from his trembling hands, and after a while, he controlled his emotions, picked up another piece of music and said: "This is handed over by Ximen Changli in the past few days, hmph, he actually personally overturned his own report a few months ago, saying that Chen Ping and Su Xiaoxiao did not die, nor did they return to Xiyuan Pass, but went directly to the north, became a deserter, and asked to punish their nine clans for treason, what should you do about this?" ”

The military department Shangshu immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Pingsu and the two have always been loyal to the court and His Majesty, saying that they defected, and the minister didn't believe it anyway, but the Ximen chief was suspicious, please check your majesty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many generals immediately expressed their support, and for a while, the court actually formed a crusade against Ximen Changli, and after a while, the right prime minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the real purpose of Ximen Changli's performance is not to care whether it can be recognized by the imperial court, but to test Your Majesty's attitude." ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "What does Prime Minister Right mean by this?" ”

"His main purpose is to test His Majesty's attitude towards the Western Regions, and his attitude towards his Ximen family is also to test His Majesty's current bottom line, and there is another meaning, that is, to tell His Majesty that his Ximen family is ready." Right Prime Minister said.

Li Tianyou still didn't quite understand, and the right prime minister continued to speak: "If Your Majesty completely follows Ximen's request for Changli, then it means that Your Majesty still needs to rely on his Ximen family, that is to say, what can be done to them now, so they can temporarily stay still, continue to prepare secretly, and continue to strength; If His Majesty completely rejected his request and rehabilitated the two generals, it would mean that His Majesty no longer cared about his Ximen family at all, and then they would definitely immediately rebel and split the Western Regions! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and Li Tianyou also had a solemn face, and at this time, Lu Xiong also came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the news we have obtained recently, the Ximen family does have the possibility of splitting the soil and standing on its own, and now that Ximen Changli has made a truce with the alliance forces of the three major countries, the ministers are worried about ••••••."

He didn't continue, but Li Tianyou felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said a little eagerly: "Go on, what are you worried about!" ”

"The minister is worried that if they tear the ground and stand on their own, they will make peace with the three major powers, and then turn their heads to concentrate on dealing with the imperial court, after all, the imperial court is their number one enemy, and the most terrible thing is that there are still many elites of the imperial court who are worshiped by Taishang Changli, if they use tricks to plot against Taishang to worship••••••" Lu Xiong said this and kept silent.

However, anyone could hear what he meant, Li Tianyou finally couldn't sit still, slapped the table and said: "His Ximen family really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, do they really dare to do this, hmph, they are really sure that they can get the Taishang offering!" ”

"Your Majesty, as the so-called is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is a head-to-head battle, even if they have two virtual realm powerhouses, it is impossible to keep Taishang to worship, but they are not allowed to use any yin tricks, you know, Taishang is not good at this aspect!" At this time, a middle-aged man in a python robe stood up and said.

As soon as he saw this person speak, Li Tianyou's expression became a little more solemn, and he said, "King Yun also thinks that it will be very dangerous for Taishang to stay in Xiyuan Pass!?" ”

Yun Wang said: "Now it is certain that the Ximen family will be opposed, since this is the case, then Taishang worship is their biggest stumbling block, they will definitely find a way to get rid of it, but now there is Dongfang Li there, and they have not completely torn their faces, so they have not enshrined Taishang for the time being, but this does not mean that they are not prepared, so, Taishang worship stay there for one more day, it will be more dangerous, the minister suggested, immediately recall Taishang worship, as for the rest of the army, Let's recall it as well, but how much it can come back depends on the will of God. ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, he was silent for a long time, but no one dared to speak anymore at this time, after all, King Yun above had already made the matter very clear, that is, he was going to give up the entire Western Regions, if this kind of words came out of other people's mouths, it would be suspected of betraying the country, so no one dared to say more about this topic now.

After a long time, Li Tianyou took a long breath and said, "So, what about Chen Ping and Su Xiaoxiao's matter?" ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were relieved and there was some sadness at the same time, the dignified emperor was actually forced to be like this by a courtier family, at this time Wu Tong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, for Chen Ping and the others, the two methods mentioned above cannot be used, we must buy a certain amount of time for Taishang to worship, but we also have to tell Ximen Changli that Your Majesty is not at their disposal, so the minister thinks that there is only one way to wronged Chen Ping and their family." ”

"What the hell is going to do?" Li Tianyou's tone was a little angry, obviously, he didn't want to think about it now.

Wu Channel: "Your Majesty can confirm the treason charged by Chen Ping and the others, and destroy their direct family, so that the Ximen family will not rebel immediately, and Taishang will have enough time to worship, and Ximen will not dare to make any outrageous moves at will for a period of time after he leaves." ”

Li Tianyou was furious when he heard this, slapped the imperial case in front of him to smithereens, and said angrily: "You all know that Chen Pingsu and Su are loyal to the imperial court and have always been defending me, but now, I can't even protect them, how can this not make the soldiers below feel cold!" ”

Looking at Li Tianyou's angry appearance, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak anymore, including King Yun, Li Yan and others, after a while, Li Tianyou slowly sat back, and after a while, his sharply undulating chest was calmed down, his lips squirmed, and he said in an extremely difficult tone: "Passing the decree, Chen Ping and Su Xiaoxiao escaped from the battle, and then rebelled with the army, they are really thieves who communicate with foreign countries, so they are dismissed from their positions as generals, deprived of all their titles and rewards, and exterminated their clans, so as to set an example!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all lamented and were silent, but Li Tianyou's heart was unwilling to roar: "Linghua Sect, Ximen Family, Dongfang Family, do you really want to force me to use the last hole card!" ”
