Dongzhou, the city of the king of Chu, within the cave.

Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters.

This is in the Zhongyuan Realm Great Chu King City.

But this is not on the land of the Great Chu King City.

This place is above the heavenly dome of the Great Chu King City.

This piece of secret realm cave heaven was originally the top secret of the Great Chu Dynasty, even the true Yuan Sect sitting in the Zhongyuan Realm, did not know about it, until later, the Great Chu Dynasty carried out a cultivation ceremony and took the initiative to disclose this secret realm cave.

The five great immortal sects were all shocked.

Now this secret realm cave is no longer hidden, but only high-level officials of the Great Chu Dynasty can set foot here.

Now the one who is ordered to guard is the great teacher Lu Qianqing.

He was sitting cross-legged, breathing steadily.

There are three million forbidden troops here, all of them under his command.

On the surface, he was guarding the secret realm, but in fact, Emperor Chu ordered him to lead an army to garrison here, and the idea was quite obvious, that is, to supervise the ancient existence in it.

He also knew that His Majesty Emperor Chu led his army to Jusheng Mountain, but he didn't have much to worry about, although Jusheng Mountain after Bai Shengjun's death was still extremely powerful, it was not enough to stop the Great Chu Dynasty.

As for the news from the outside world, he does not know at the moment.

However, at this moment, invisibly, the sky seemed to sink.

There was an indescribable sense of coercion, which suddenly came and spread all over the cave.

As strong as this supreme true mystery, a powerful existence with the seal of the national teacher, he couldn't help but throb in his heart.

Bang!

He looked up with surprise on his face.

I saw countless cracks burst out between the blue sky and white clouds, like a blue-white porcelain surface, suddenly cracked!

Boom! The sky shattered!

Behind the shattered void was an infinite turbulence, each of which was filled with an extremely strong chaotic intent, which made this supreme true mystery feel terrified and shocked.

However, in the midst of this infinite turbulence, another figure fell.

The figure was full of light.

The light blessed him.

But the turbulence still broke the light and hurt him.

He was still not shallowly injured, and his breath was weak.

His breath made Lu Qianqing stunned for a moment.

“......”

Lu Qianqing's heart trembled, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

The figure fell from the sky.

Vaguely, he was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't see his body and clothes clearly.

However, despite the loss of the crown and the destruction of the imperial robe, the man still clung to a piece of the Dharma seal on his chest and held on to it.

The faint breath that was almost extinguished was like a candle swaying in the wind, but Lu Qianqing still sensed the emperor's aura and felt the power of the national seal.

His heart shook violently, seeing such a situation, as a courtier, he was busy going forward to greet him.

Boom!

Somehow, there seemed to be an aura that stopped him.

is like a breeze, but it is full of sharpness, so that Lu Qianqing can't stop it.

Bang!

The figure above the sky smashed down and smashed on top of a mountain.

Immediately there was a rumbling sound, deafening, shaking in all directions, and immediately the rubble collapsed and the dust rolled out.

The mountain suddenly collapsed in half.

And the figure lay in the collapsed mountain.

"Your Majesty......"

Lu Qianqing stood still, his face changed.

And beside him, there seemed to be a voice laughing, and the tone of the laughter seemed to be mocking.

Lu Qianqing held his breath slightly, tilted his head slightly, and looked at a man in black armor with an ugly face.

This person is the Divine Venerable, who was once the only true Xuan Jiuyin great monk in the Great Chu Dynasty, except for His Majesty.

Although there are many peak true mysteries in the Great Chu Dynasty now, this god's status is still respected.

But before, the Divine Venerable stopped him, and let His Majesty fall into the mountains, suffering more severely and his breath weaker.

This man, known as the Divine Venerable, just put his hands behind his back, looked at the scene in front of him, smiled, and said: "He is the peak true Xuan, although he is seriously injured, he can't die, but after all, he was injured too badly, not only was he seriously injured by the true dragon before, but he was attacked by turbulence in the void, and it is indeed rare to survive, but his injuries are not shallow, he has lost his mind when he fell just now, and he will not know the truth of this scene just now." ”

Lu Qianqing's face was cold, and he said: "When Your Majesty wakes up, the old man will definitely join you! Shenzun, you are also my great Chu courtier, and if you want to see Your Majesty's jokes, this crime is not light." ”

The Divine Venerable did not deny it, but said with a smile: "So, as a courtier, you watched Your Majesty fall from the top of the sky, but did not catch him, the crime is indeed not light." ”

Lu Qianqing said angrily: "Just because you ......"

The Divine Venerable asked rhetorically: "Stopped because of an evil wind? After all, you are afraid that you will be injured, and let Your Majesty be hurt? After all, you are not loyal enough!"

Lu Qianqing's face turned pale, and he finally fell silent.

“......”

"Lu Qianqing, be smarter, just assume that this doesn't happen. ”

The Divine Venerable spread his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "If you say this, not only will it be useless, but you will be guilty, and in addition, more importantly, you will see his jokes." ”

Lu Qianqing became more and more silent.

The Divine Venerable asked again: "Since you have seen him make a fool of himself, can he, the majestic and solemn Emperor Supreme, still tolerate you? If you don't mention this matter today, but just save his life, then he will be very grateful to you, and you will be able to be promoted to a knighthood and receive a rich reward, and your official seal will give you greater strength, and it will also make your cultivation more profitable." “

Lu Qianqing took a deep breath, he knew that what the Divine Venerable said was good.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

Loyalty doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he, a courtier, finally watched Emperor Chu fall.

"Bring him back, ask the seven teachers, and ask them to help him." ”

The Divine Venerable said this, carrying his hands behind his back, and laughed.

——

Gather in the Holy Mountain.

This battle, although it was a complete victory, repelled the offensive of the Great Chu Dynasty.

But no matter how heavy the casualties of the Great Chu Dynasty were, no matter how conspicuous the results were, for the Dongsheng Dynasty, it was a great loss of vitality after all, and there was a gloomy haze that shrouded the entire Dongsheng Dynasty.

"This time......" Zhuang Ming looked at the sea of corpses and blood like purgatory in front of him, his expression was complicated, and he asked out loud: "How many people have I lost by gathering the Holy Mountain?"

"A total of 810,000 people fell, including 2,000 Longwei, 1,260 people who cultivated the body of gods and demons, and Sizheng Longwei, who was of the True Xuan level, fell eleven people. Lao Wulu Changshou looked gloomy and said in a low voice.

"There were heavy casualties. Zhuang Ming's heart froze, and finally read such a sentence.

"He suffered heavier casualties in the Great Chu Dynasty. Tang Tianying was beside him, and suddenly said.

"But the foundation of the Dongsheng Dynasty is ultimately weaker than that of the Great Chu Dynasty. Lu Changshou turned his head and said: "Even if the Great Chu Dynasty completely destroys the Eastern Yuan army, it will only lose all the army, and it will not shake the country's foundation, and now it can only be regarded as a broken muscle." However, for the Dongsheng Dynasty, one million troops are already the strength of the whole country, and now the loss of 810,000 people is the turmoil of the country, if it is not suppressed by us, there may be riots in various places, which is almost the destruction of the army of the Dongsheng Dynasty......"

"There's no way around it. Chen Ming said: "Gathering the blessed land of the Holy Mountain, the radius is only 20,000 li, except for those barren mountains and mountains, the territory of the Dongsheng Dynasty is not more than 10,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and it is not easy to raise such a group of elites of millions of people." ”

"The Great Chu Dynasty controls hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers and has infinite treasures, so it can raise hundreds of millions of cultivators. Old Wulu Changshou looked at Zhuang Ming and said, "Thirteen, you are the monarch of the Dongsheng Dynasty, what do you mean?"

"Then expand. Zhuang Ming said: "The Great Chu Dynasty controls seventy percent of the Dongzhou boundary, and the remaining thirty percent of the Dongzhou boundary is behind us...... The Great Chu Dynasty wants to destroy the Holy Mountain, first, because we are too strong, so that he is afraid, and because he wants to cross us and attack the remaining three percent of the Dongzhou boundary, and now we have blocked the Great Chu army, so the remaining three percent of the territory, the Great Chu Dynasty has no idea of getting involved. ”

"The Great Chu Dynasty can't be defeated, we can fight!" Lu Changshou said in a deep voice.

"In these years, the Great Chu Dynasty has attacked all directions, killing endlessly, countless families have been destroyed and displaced, and we have risen up wars for no reason, and the division is unknown, I am afraid it is difficult to have morality at all. Although Wen Li's methods were fierce, after all, the literati were very angry, sighed, and said: "The war together has suffered all the lives of all parties after all. ”

Tang Tianying said coldly: "Today's bloody battle, we have suffered countless casualties, and we are here to defend the Holy Mountain, but also for them, and they are watching from the wall, and now we are waiting for a miserable victory, but they want to sit and enjoy a peaceful and stable world, no matter what outsiders think, I will never allow it." ”

"Boss, I know that you are a human being, and I don't want you to move this time!" Chen Ming said in a cold voice: "I and the third child will personally subdue these immortal sects and Taoist sects, and from now on, the boundaries of the three Dongzhou will all belong to the scope of my Gathering Holy Mountain." ”

"I'm in favor of it too! In this way, we also have more treasures and can raise more soldiers and horses. Lu Changshou nodded suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, now that Emperor Chu doesn't know where he is, there will inevitably be chaos within Great Chu. ”

"This time there are heavy casualties, and the matter of expanding the territory will be discussed after recuperation. Zhuang Ming looked strange and responded.

"Good. Wen Li looked at everyone, nodded slightly, and said: "It's better to appease people's hearts first, although the results are very rich, but the fall of every soldier is the sorrow of the family, they are all young people selected from all the families of the Dongsheng Dynasty, enlisted in the army, and refined into steel, this time...... For the Dongsheng Dynasty, it is a great test, and there may be a lot of chaos, how do you think it should be appeased?"

"If you win the battle, you should celebrate!" Zhuang Ming said: "If you die on the battlefield, you should be compensated, and your wife, children, and parents will be taken care of by the government, and they must not be bullied and unjust because the pillars of the family die on the battlefield." ”

That's exactly what I said. Lu Changshou and Dongsheng soldiers fought together and strongly agreed with this.

"An army of millions, more than 800,000 have fallen, and this pension is probably too heavy. Chen Ming frowned and said: "And according to your preferential treatment, I am afraid that every family in the territory of the Dongsheng Dynasty will receive preferential treatment, and with the national strength of the Dongsheng Dynasty, this cannot be done......"

"Do your best. Zhuang Ming said: "The treasury is empty, and then it will be expanded! Moreover, the treasury will not be empty?"

"What?" several senior brothers were extremely stunned.

"Within ten days, I will settle the matter. Zhuang Ming said.

"How to solve it?" Wen Li asked.

"Brother, look. ”

Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and smiled heartily.

When everyone stepped forward to take a look, they saw that his hands were illusory and unreal, and there was no flesh and blood.

"When are you?" Wen Li said in surprise.

"Just at the time of the war with Emperor Chu. Zhuang Ming said.

"Aren't you afraid that Emperor Chu will take the opportunity to attack you?" Wen Li asked.

"I'm sure. Zhuang Ming said: "The people on the bright side, as long as we remember, have the direction to kill, and the people in the secret, once they miss the opportunity this time, they sink into the darkness, and it will be difficult for us to find the culprit in the future." ”
