Chapter 270: The Fog of War
After leaving Wendao Pavilion, Duan Chen did not return to Tianyun Peak immediately, but first went to Wanwu Pavilion to receive the 1,000 contribution points rewarded by this big competition, as well as a medium-grade magic weapon.
And this time, at the suggestion of the Seven Demon Lords, Duan Chen chose a medium-grade magic weapon called the Green Thunder Fire Gourd, once this magic weapon is urged, it can release a piece of heavenly thunder and earth fire, even if the Jindan monk is not prepared, he will also suffer a big loss, and even die on the spot.
Of course, the power of the Green Thunder Fire Gourd is not limited to this, as Duan Chen's strength continues to improve in the future, and even breaks through to the Jindan realm, the power of this treasure will become even stronger.
This was also one of the reasons why the Seven Demon Lords strongly recommended Duan Chen to choose this treasure.
After putting the Green Thunder Fire Gourd into the storage bracelet, Duan Chen and Liang Yu bought some pills to enhance mana and refine the flesh, and then flew towards Tianyun Peak with the retreat light, and returned to the New Cave Mansion after a short time.
However, before Duan Chen's ass was hot, he received a summons from Nangong Yao, saying that he was outside the gate of the cave at the moment, and asked him to quickly open the gate of the cave and come out to greet him.
Duan Chen was puzzled in his heart, so he had to lift the ban on the gate of the cave mansion, and when he opened the gate of the cave mansion, he saw Nangong Yao and Jiang Yuanchao standing in the courtyard outside the cave mansion, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you two here?"
Nangong Yao smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Duan, who do you see coming?"
After that, he and Jiang Yuanchao turned sideways at the same time, revealing two familiar faces, which were Qin Huaiyue and Gongyi Muyun, who had not been seen for a long time.
I only heard Qin Huaiyue smile and said: "If you don't say goodbye to the Great Shang Dynasty, Senior Brother Duan won't be harmed!"
Gongyi Muyun hugged his fists and said: "Gongyu Muyun has seen Senior Brother Duan. ”
"When did you two come here?" Duan Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then invited the four of them into the hall of the cave mansion and sat down.
"I just arrived yesterday and passed the palace trial this morning. Qin Huaiyue sat down and said.
"We were able to participate in the palace trial so smoothly this time, thanks to the letters of recommendation written by several elders on the front line. Gong Yu Muyun added, looking grateful.
After all, their public loss family used to collude with the Demon God Society, and there is such a case record, as the son of the head of the public loss family, he can now join the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, except for their public loss family for all these years
In addition to performing well on the battlefield, the letters of recommendation from several Outer Palace Elders who were on the front line also played a crucial role.
Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way for Gongyu Muyun to pass the review so smoothly and join the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.
However, when Gongyi Muyun mentioned the front line in his words, he reminded Duan Chen of something, and he couldn't help but ask, "How is the battle on the front line going now?"
Gongyu Muyun muttered: "Since the Taishang Elder Yuan Yi of the Inner Palace made a move, the demon clan immediately sent the cultivators of the Transformation God Realm to arrive in the Eastern Wilderness, and now the demon clan army is stationed outside Qingshan City, although they occasionally drive demon beasts to attack the city wall, but they have no intention of fighting to the death, and they don't know what medicine they sell in their gourds." ”
"As for the Northern Xia Dynasty, it has also stopped a lot recently, they seem to be planning something secretly, although the elders on the front line are trying their best to spy on the news, but there is no gain yet, they only know that the demon clan is constantly moving in private, but no one knows what they are doing. ”
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the demon clan suddenly weakens its offensive, there must be a greater plan. Jiang Yuanchao said with a solemn face.
Nangong Yao and Qin Huaiyue couldn't help but nod when they heard this.
Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, there are all the elders and Yuanying seniors on the front line, and there is also the command bureau of the cultivators of the Transformation God Realm, so we don't have to worry about it, let's cultivate in the outer palace with peace of mind, and strive to break through to the Jindan realm as soon as possible." ”
Saying that, Duan Chen shifted the topic to the Reverse Immortal Alliance, and invited Qin Huaiyue and Gongyi Muyun to join by the way, and the two agreed without thinking about it.
Next, the five of them talked in the hall of the cave for a while, and then Duan Chen sent Nangong Yao and the four out of the cave.
"Senior, you said that the demon clan and the demon clan suddenly sent a large army to attack the northern and western regions of our human race at this juncture, what is the purpose? Is it just to plunder the territory of my human race?"
After seeing off Nangong Yao and the others, Duan Chen returned to the cave hall alone and suddenly asked.
Without waiting for the Seven Demon Lords to answer, he said to himself: "In terms of cultivation resources and cultivation environment, the entire Donghua Continent has the Eastern Regions and the Southern Regions as the most, the Middle Regions are the second, and the Northern Regions and the Western Regions are the worst, even if they can finally capture the Western Regions and the Northern Regions, the price they pay in this battle may not be able."
Will you make up for it after the war?"
The Seven Demon Lords were slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to analyze so thoroughly. ”
"Yes, if it is just for the sake of territorial disputes, this reason is indeed not sufficient, after all, the demon and demon clans have occupied the richest land in the entire Donghua Continent, at this juncture, if they really want to break the net with your human race, even if they can win in the end, the price they pay will definitely be very heavy, and they may even lose more than they gain. ”
Duan Chen nodded.
I only heard the Seven Demon Lord continue: "But since both of their clans have chosen to provoke war at this time, it means that it is still profitable, or there is some reason that forces them to do so. ”
"As for what the reason is, the two demon clans suddenly sent troops to attack the Northern Regions and the Western Regions, probably only the high-level leaders of the demon and demon clans know, but one thing is doubtful is that the demon clan attacked the Northern Regions first, and the demons attacked the Western Regions later, I suspect that the reason why the demons attacked the Western Regions this time may be that they secretly reached some agreement with the demon clan. ”
Duan Chen was shocked when he heard this.
"Okay, I don't think you should think too much, when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall ones who will stand up first, you better hurry up and cultivate, and strive to break through to the Jindan realm as soon as possible." "Something similar, Duan Chen said it to Nangong Yao and the four just now, but now it is the turn of the Seven Demon Lords to say it to him.
Duan Chen couldn't help but smile, and immediately stopped asking.
He also couldn't help but think about it a little more because he had experienced some experience on the front line and dealt with the Demon God Society for a period of time.
And perhaps it is precisely because of his dealings with the Demon God Society that he has a more sober and profound understanding of the current confusing situation.
As the Seven Demon Lords said, the Demon Clan led the army to attack the Northern Regions first, and the Demon Army invaded the Western Regions later, and there must be some ulterior connection and secret between the two.
And the longer this war that engulfs the three clans continues, the greater the fog will be that will envelop the battlefield.
It is like an invisible whirlpool, slowly taking shape from small to large, and any ethnic groups and forces that are close to this whirlpool should not want to stay out of it, even if someone wants to stand by and watch, one day they will be unable to help themselves.
