Chapter 406: War

Zhou Tianlong, Zheng Fei, and Hua Rong left Tianyu Peak and headed all the way to the east, while Lu Xiang, Jia Wu, Zhang Hui and the other three people also left Tianyu Peak and went in all directions to find the whereabouts of Yi Tian and the others.

While traveling eastward, Zhou Tianlong and the three of them inquired about the whereabouts of the Underfire Sect, but to their disappointment, the people in the Tianyu Empire had never heard of the Underfire Sect at all, so along the way, Zhou Tianlong and the three of them could be said to have found nothing.

The three of them traveled all the way east, and finally reached the easternmost sea area of the Tianyu Empire, and on the other side of the sea, it was the Huiri Empire.

The Huiri Empire is located in the eastern part of the Tianyu Empire, across the sea from the Tianyu Empire, and its area is far less large than that of the Tianyu Empire, and the population is not as large as the Tianyu Empire. However, the Huiri Empire is ambitious, bent on destroying the Tianyu Empire and seizing thousands of miles of the Tianyu Empire.

During the reign of the Lei Yan Dynasty in the Tianyu Empire, due to the ferocity and brutality of the then emperor Lei Guotian, political mediocrity, and the decline of national fortunes, the Tianyu Empire was constantly violated by the Huiri Empire, and a large area of territory on the eastern coast was occupied by the Huiri Empire.

Since Ouyang Qingfeng founded the Tianyu Dynasty, he has worked hard to make the Tianyu Dynasty prosperous, and the Tianyu Empire has gradually grown and grown. Ouyang Qingfeng used troops against the Huiri Empire on a large scale several times, and finally recovered the lost territory and expelled the soldiers of the Huiri Empire from the territory of the Tianyu Empire.

However, the Huiri Empire was unwilling to lose, and invaded the Tianyu Empire several times, wanting to continue to occupy the territory of the Tianyu Empire. However, the strength of the Tianyu Dynasty is far from being comparable to that of the Lei Yan Dynasty, and every time the Huiri Empire attacks, it is ultimately a fiasco.

In recent years, the Huiri Empire knew that it was not the opponent of the Tianyu Empire, so it died down, and the border waters between the two countries had been stable for a few years. However, the people of the Tianyu Empire all knew that the wolf ambitions of the Huiri Empire would never give up, they must be recuperating and ready to launch a large-scale attack on the Tianyu Empire at any time. Therefore, although the Huiri Empire no longer invades, the Tianyu Empire's defense on the eastern coast continues unabated, and once the Huiri Empire makes a move, it will kill it without leaving a piece of armor.

Seeing that he had gone all the way to the easternmost part of the Tianyu Empire, and had not yet heard the whereabouts of Yi Tian and the others, Zhou Tianlong was anxious. Now that it has been a month since Liu Yuchen was captured by Yi Tian, Zhou Tianlong really can't imagine what happened in this month. He secretly swore that if Liu Yuchen had any accidents, he would definitely skin and cramp Yi Tian and cut him alive with a knife.

But even if he couldn't find the whereabouts of Yi Tian and the others, Zhou Tianlong could only be anxious. In the end, after the discussion between him and Zheng Fei, it was decided that the three of them would divide into two roads again, along the eastern sea, Zheng Fei would look for it in the north, and Zhou Tianlong would take Huarong to the south to look for it, no matter what the result was, they would meet here twenty days later.

At that moment, Zhou Tianlong took the flowers and went all the way to the south. However, a few days have passed, and the two of them still have no news from Yi Tian and the others. Zhou Tianlong was restless, only feeling that his heart was in chaos, and Hua Rong was also very anxious, sometimes crying silently alone at night, and missing Liu Yuchen very much.

On this day, Zhou Tianlong and Hua Rong were walking along an avenue, but suddenly found a group of people walking from the opposite side of the avenue. There are about thirty or forty people in this group, men and women, young and old, but they have a common characteristic, that is, they are all yellow-skinned, emaciated, ragged, staggering, their expressions are full of panic, and their eyes are full of helplessness.

Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, he didn't know what this group of people was doing, but looking at their dress, they should be ordinary people in the Tianyu Empire, but Zhou Tianlong didn't understand why they would be embarrassed like this.

At that moment, Zhou Tianlong walked quickly to the front of the crowd, stopped one of the middle-aged men, and asked, "This uncle, I don't know where you are going in such a hurry?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Tianlong and saw that he was only a young man less than twenty years old, so he sighed and said helplessly: "Young man, you are from the middle of the empire! Let me tell you, you must not go further south, because many cities on the southern coast have been occupied by the Huiri Empire!"

"Huiri Empire?" Hearing this, Zhou Tianlong's complexion changed instantly. Only then did he suddenly realize that this group of people were refugees who had fled, because their hometown was occupied by the Huiri Empire, so they left their homeland and fled to the middle of the Tianyu Empire.

Hearing that the empire was in trouble, Zhou Tianlong became even more anxious, and asked again: "Uncle, what happened?

The middle-aged man's eyes showed a look of helplessness, and he said: "Young man, I'm afraid you don't know what to do! Some time ago, the Huiri Empire attacked on a large scale, and our Tianyu Empire and the Huiri Empire fought a big battle in the eastern seas, but they were defeated miserably. Some cities on the eastern coast have been occupied by the Hui Sun Empire!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle, according to common sense, the strength of the Huiri Empire is not as good as my Tianyu Empire at all, how can we be defeated?"

Zhou Tianlong knew in his heart that because he had been defeated by the Tianyu Empire several times, the Huiri Empire had not dared to attack the Tianyu Empire in recent years. So Zhou Tianlong was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why the Huiri Empire would suddenly invade the Tianyu Empire again, and more importantly, since the establishment of the Tianyu Dynasty, the Tianyu Empire had never lost in the battle with the Huiri Empire, so Zhou Tianlong didn't understand why the Huiri Empire would be defeated this time.

Hearing Zhou Tianlong's question, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do." But it is said that this time he was betrayed by a traitor!"

"Traitor?" Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, looking at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that the hundreds of thousands of troops sent by the dynasty were almost wiped out, and even the commander was captured by the people of the Huiri Empire!"

"Boss?" Zhou Tianlong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is the name of this coach?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, but I heard that he is still a big man with a head and a face in the dynasty!"

"Big shot?" Zhou Tianlong frowned, and he couldn't guess who this boss was for a while, but if he was a big man in the Tianyu Dynasty, he wouldn't know him.

The middle-aged man saw Zhou Tianlong bowing his head and saying nothing, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't have time to continue to deal with him at the moment, so he hurriedly chased after the fleeing crowd who had already gone away.

Seeing the middle-aged man walking away, Zhou Tianlong could only shake his head helplessly. The wars in these empires must not be known to ordinary people like them, so there must be no way to find out anything from his mouth.

"Now that the empire is in trouble, as a disciple of the Tianyu Sect, His Majesty the Rain Emperor is kind to me, it stands to reason that I can't ignore it! But now that Yuchen is captured by Yi Tian and is in danger, where do I have time to take care of the affairs of the empire?" Zhou Tianlong lowered his head and pondered, caught in a dilemma.

Sighing helplessly, Zhou Tianlong shook his head, and secretly thought in his heart: "Well, I believe that with the strength of the Tianyu Dynasty, it should have enough ability to fight against the Huiri Empire." Alas, now that I have important things to do, let's take care of my own affairs first! After finding Yuchen and getting rid of Yi Tian, I will find a way to help the dynasty expel the Huiri Empire and regain the lost territory!"

Zhou Tianlong originally planned to stop going south according to the refugee's words, but he thought about it, with his current strength, presumably the ordinary Huiri Empire's army would not be able to help him at all, and he could also take this opportunity to understand the situation in the occupied areas of the Huiri Empire, and maybe it could also help the Tianyu Dynasty to recover the lost territory in the future. The most important thing is that Liu Yuchen's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, not to mention that the front has been occupied by the Huiri Empire, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of him, Zhou Tianlong has to take a look to see if there is the whereabouts of Yi Tian and others.

At that moment, Zhou Tianlong no longer hesitated, and continued to walk towards the south with Hua Rong, continuing to inquire about the whereabouts of Yi Tian and the others as he walked forward.

Along the way, Zhou Tianlong and Hua Rong found that some cities along the way were occupied by the Huiri Empire, and they encountered waves of refugees along the way, all of them looked panicked, dragging their families towards the center of the empire, trying to avoid the suffering of war here.

The saddest thing is that along the avenues and trails along the way, Zhou Tianlong and the others also encountered countless people of the Tianyu Empire who were killed or starved to death, mourning all over the wilderness and white bones. Seeing these scenes, Zhou Tianlong's eyes erupted with anger, and he hated the aggressive behavior of the Huiri Empire in his heart.

"The empire is in trouble, and the people are miserable! When I find Yuchen and kill Yi Tian, I must assist His Majesty the Rain Emperor to expel the invaders of the Huiri Empire! If they kill the people of my empire, I will make them pay several times the price!" Zhou Tianlong secretly gritted his teeth.

On this day, the two of them walked into a dense wood.

"Brother, listen, there is a sound of shouting and killing in the woods!" Hua Rong suddenly said to Zhou Tianlong.

Zhou Tianlong's hearing was so keen, he had already heard the shouting and killing sound in the woods, nodded slightly, and walked quickly in that direction with Hua Rong.

Following the sound of fighting, Zhou Tianlong and the others came to a clearing, only to see that there were seven people in that clearing, besieging a huge python at this moment.

The python was seven or eight feet long, and its whole body was turquoise, and a pair of snake pupils were also eeriely green, and even the huge snake letter it spit out was green.

"This is a third-order intermediate demon beast - Aoki Snake!" Zhou Tianlong recognized this demon beast at a glance, and a look of joy instantly appeared on his face.
