Chi Zhi stood in a stone castle converted from the ruins of an ancient palace, looking at the bustle of the street square outside the windowporch, where a sacrifice ceremony was being held around a simple altar.

At the end of the ritual, the priest slashed the throat of a stag and sprinkled the spices and petals that had been prepared beforehand.

As the blood flowed on the altar, he noticed a vague shadow appearing on it, followed by a burst of aura mist, and everyone involved in the sacrifice cheered loudly.

As a soldier of the Divine Captain Army, he knows a lot about the gods, and there are only dozens of sacrifices in front of him, and what he sent is not a good sacrifice, but he has received a response from the gods, and even revealed miracles, this should not be because the gods on the opposite side have no place to squander their divine power, but because their real bodies are near here, so they don't care about this consumption.

However, judging by the scale, it is likely that the "god" worshipped by these people is just a spiritual creature.

He asked, "When did this 'fog god' start the sacrifice?"

The burly man sitting at the table munching on a leg of lamb thought for a moment and said, "It's been two years." ”

Chi Zhu said: "Don't the officials of the capital over there care?"

The burly man said very casually: "Where do they dare to take care of things? Those who dare to take care of things either sink into the sea or are driven back, and the rest are honest." ”

Chi Zhi snorted and said, "No wonder the capital wants to clean you up, you have gone too far!"

The burly man pursed his lips, and said in his heart, Without the support of your Divine Captain Army, do we dare to go so far?

But he sighed on his face and said: "There is no way, Chaoming City was originally established by our three major tribes and seventeen small tribes, and the food and wealth here are all created by us, but the Duhu Mansion wants to accept it with just one sentence, and wants to control us like slaves, so we have to resist, Chi Junhou, don't you say?"

Chi Junhou said: "I said don't call me Junhou, others will misunderstand when they hear it." ”

I think you're hoping that others will misunderstand, right?

The burly man was disdainful in his heart, but he said yes in a loud voice, but what is the correct name, he knows very well in his heart, so how to call him or how to call him.

Chi Zhi took his eyes off the window, turned around, looked at him and said, "I want to know, how many people can you mobilize now, and how many gods can you invite?"

The burly man paused, and replied: "In the past ten years, each of our three tribes has worshiped a god, and two of them can definitely echo us. ”

Chi Zhu frowned and said, "What about the other one?"

The burly man hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the god of 'evil chaos', we are afraid that we will invite him over, and we will make a mess ourselves, so it is better not to invite him." ”

When Chi Zhu heard this, he unceremoniously criticized: "Since this is the case, how did you worship this god in the first place? Where is your brain?"

The burly man was speechless for a while, didn't he have no choice at that time? Otherwise, who would want to believe in such a god?

He smiled and said, "It's because we didn't think it through, we didn't think it through, isn't this Chi Jun waiting for you to come? Even if there is one less god, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"This time it's different. ”

Chi Zhi's eyes became sharper, and he said: "The Xuanfu has recently eliminated the Plague Gods, and they have not suffered too much loss, we don't know what they rely on, but in this matter, there must be a power that we don't know." ”

When he returned to Chaoming City, if things could be handled well, it would be nine out of ten to return to the position of the military candidate, but he was also under a lot of pressure, because he really didn't know what kind of opponent he would face.

The burly man said, "I want to ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a Divine Lieutenant soldier walked in quickly, until he reached Chi Zhi's side, whispered a few words, and handed over a letter.

Chi Zhi spread the letter he received on the table, and after reading it, he tapped it with his finger and said, "Xuanfu is really ready to do it," and then he took out a piece of paper with someone's name written on it, glanced at it, and threw it aside. ”

The burly man's eyes were sharp, and after seeing it, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, and said, "This is the list." ”

Chi Zhu said indifferently: "There is no need to look at this thing, if the Xuanfu sends out a force that we don't know, it will never be clearly written on it for you." ”

The burly man smiled and said, "It's good to see, it's good to see." He flattened it with a greasy piece of paper, looked at it a few times, sighed, and said, "This Zhang Yu seems to be the one who killed the plague god, I think it's worth noting." ”

Chi Zhi smiled coldly and said, "That's just the person who the Xuanfu deliberately pushed to the forefront, and there should be someone else who took action against the plague god." ”

When the burly man saw that he was serious, he also felt that things were not ordinary, he thought about it, patted his chest, and said, "Then what does Chi Junhou want to do? ”

Chi Zhi said, "I mean, immediately hold a ritual and try to summon the true bodies of all the gods here,"

The burly man was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it too early?"

The true body of the gods is generally asleep, if they wake up, the sacrifices required every day are massive, and now there are more than five gods worshiped by tribes of all sizes, although a few of them are only spiritual creatures, but the consumption will not be much less.

And what if the people of Xuanfu don't come for a long time, who will be responsible for this loss?

Chi Zhi stared at him with sharp eyes and said: "The power of the Xuanfu is unknown, we can only go all out, at this time, don't think about some sacrifices in distress." ”

The burly man hurriedly said: "I naturally agree with Chi Junhou, but this matter is not for me to decide alone, and I still need to ask for the opinions of the other chiefs." ”

Chi Zhu frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome?" Then you go and discuss it and give me an answer as soon as possible!"

On the other side, an inconspicuous sea ship is also departing from Dangang, along the coast, heading southwest.

Zhang Yu, dressed in a cloak and a hood, stood on the deck, looking at the raging waves ahead, his robe constantly blowing by the sea breeze.

When he came to Ruiguang City by boat at the beginning of the year, he was just a young scholar who knew a little breathing, but now when he went to sea again, he was already a monk who had cut through the mysteries.

Although he has some strength now, it is only enough to protect himself, and it is far from enough to control the situation of the capital protectorate.

An assistant came over at this time, bowed his hand to him, and said, "Zhang Xuanxiu, Dou Xuanxiu is invited." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Got it." He turned and made his way to the main cabin on the upper deck, and as he reached the door, the two attendants who were waiting there immediately pushed the door open for him.

He stepped inside, swept his eyes, and saw that there was a fixed round case in the cabin, and Qi Wu and Wang Gong, who were traveling with him this time, had already arrived.

In the middle, there stood a monk in his seventies, who looked quite old, but with thick hair, deep eyes, and an extremely strong body.

His name is Dou Chang, and he was also a disciple of Xuanshou back then, but he had been dealing with the plague gods in the north all year round. Now that the plague gods have been wiped out, they have been sent back.

His long fighting career has made him extremely powerful, even if he stands there, there is a very pressing coercion on his body.

This time the operation to Chaoming City was also presided over by his people.

Zhang Yu didn't know the specific situation of Dou Chang, but guessed that this should be a Xuan Xiu who specialized in the "body and mind", and only such a person could survive in the confrontation with the alien gods for a long time.

Dou Chang is vigorous and resolute style, saw Zhang Yu walk in, and said: "Senior Brother Zhang is here, that person is here, come, Senior Brother Zhang, let's sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Yu walked over and saluted the three of them, and then sat down.

After Dou Chang sat down, he looked at Wang Gong and said, "Senior Brother Wang, you can take out the map." ”

Wang Gong immediately took out a scroll from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and spread it out in front of the three of them.

Zhang Yu looked at it and saw that this was a detailed defense map of Chaoming City, and after just a few cursory glances, he had already memorized several important locations in his heart.

After Dou Chang saw it, he said in a deep voice: "Is the map accurate?"

Wang Gong said: "This is drawn by the previous batches of officials who went to Chaoming City, I have compared them with each other, and they are generally not much different, and even if other things can be adjusted, once the altar is erected, it will be moved again, even if there are some discrepancies in the details, it will not hinder the overall situation." ”

Dou Chang nodded, the ordinary armament arrangement did not pose much threat to them, only the alien gods were the objects that needed to be paid attention to on this trip, as long as the alien gods were eliminated, Chaoming City would not be a cause for concern.

Qi Wudao: "Senior Brother Xiang thought before that we must have the eyeliner of the Divine Captain Army in our Xuan Mansion, and if we are dispatched, we may not be able to hide it from the Divine Captain Army, so they will not sit idly by and watch us do it, and they will definitely send someone to help." ”

Dou Chang agreed: "This can't be cautious. ”

He said in a solemn voice: "The left army of the Divine Captain Army, Hou Almotai, is missing, it is not clear whether it is the Divine Captain Army who is a ghost, in addition to Almotai in the Divine Captain Army, there is also the former Left Army Hou Chi Zhu, if these two people are in Chaoming City, then the matter will be very tricky." ”

Wang Gong said: "Half a month ago, I had already sent a few disciples to sneak into the city, and as early as last year, I was there to attract eyeliner, I believe that the news will come back soon, if it is confirmed that these two people are there, then according to Senior Brother Xiang's meaning, we will wait and see for the time being, and there is no need to rush to do it." ”

Dou Chang thought about it and agreed, the two military candidates plus several alien gods were definitely not something they could resist, which was a more appropriate approach.

He turned his eyes at this time and saw that Zhang Yu had been looking at the map, so he asked politely, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you have any suggestions for this trip?"

Zhang Yu looked up at him, then at Qi Wu and Wang Gong, and said, "I have an idea." ”
