Xinchen was helpless, since he couldn't stop Li Guangxi's expedition, he could only try his best to prepare for the expedition, so he said: "Zhongqing, then prepare quickly according to the general's wishes." Old Chen stayed, and the others dispersed. In such an embarrassing situation, everyone didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and got up and retreated.

After everyone left, Xinchen took out the holy order, solemnly handed it to Chen Zhi, and said: "Old Chen, please take this thing to Bingzhou Dragon City, find Cheng Qingfeng, the guard of Dragon City, and show it to a black-robed strategist beside him with this object." Let's just say that Li Guang insists on going to the Western Regions, please pay close attention to the movements, and if the expedition to the west fails, you must immediately lead a heavy army to help Xijing. ”

As soon as the Holy Order arrived in Chen Zhi's hand, suddenly the colorful light was magnificent, and the phantom beast made a "squeak, squeak" sound in dissatisfaction, so frightened that he hurriedly threw the Holy Order to the ground. Xinchen bent down to pick up the holy order and comforted it: "Okay, okay, I know you don't want to leave me, but I have something important to do, you have to help me protect him, fortunately." ”

"Squeak, squeak", the phantom beast grunted again, and finally calmed down, and the colorful brilliance also dimmed. Xinchen handed the holy order back to Chen Zhi's hand, and said, "Old Chen, don't be surprised, my pet lives here..." ”

Although this thing is very mysterious, Chen Zhi is also a person who has seen the world, after Xinchen's explanation, he has already calmed down, took the holy order and put it away carefully, and said: "Don't worry, Childe, Lao Chen will do it." With that, he turned and walked out of the hall. Xinchen looked at Chen Zhi's departing back and sighed secretly: "I hope I don't go that far!"

After Chen Zhi left, Xinchen thought about it and felt that he should still go to Li Guang to discuss the Western Expedition. The two are the two most powerful people in the East and in fact respectively, and they are the fate of all the people in the East and even the mortal world. So, Xinchen also walked out of the hall and went straight to Li Guang's study.

Xinchen walked outside the study, only to see the door of the study wide open, Li Guangzheng was standing in front of the map of Kyushu and pondering, sure enough, he was here. Li Guang heard the footsteps and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please come in." ”

Xinchen walked into the study and arched his hand: "Uncle Huang, the little nephew has something unclear, I hope you can solve your doubts." ”

Li Guang had already guessed that Xinchen wanted to ask him why he insisted on going west, but he didn't answer directly, but turned around and pointed to a huge gray area on the west side of the map, which was almost equivalent to the sum of the other eight states, and said quietly: "You don't want to go west because you have never been to the Western Regions! I admit that the higher demon races are no different from us, but those low-level demons are completely cruel monsters, and the mortals of the Western Regions are the food of these monsters! When you see it with your own eyes, you will understand my decision." ”

Xinchen was shocked by what Li Guang said, and for a moment he thought of the bloodiness of the Soul Devouring Array, and asked, "Uncle Huang, what about the immortals? I have seen the bloodiness of the Soul Devouring Array several times, don't the immortals also treat us mortals as herdsmen?" As soon as the words came out, Xinchen regretted a little, forgetting that Li Guang's biological mother was also an immortal, and he was also a half-immortal.

Li Guang didn't care, and said: "Immortals are different, they are difficult to survive in the mortal world for a long time due to their physical limitations, although they also treat us as animals, but they don't directly use mortals as food like demons. They taught us how to practice and used our desires to rule over us. ”

Xinchen didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and suddenly thought of Li Cao in the endless abyss, and asked, "Then why can Ling Ci stay in the mortal world for a long time?"

Li Guang paused for a moment and said, "The Endless Abyss is in the mortal world, but it is not the mortal world, but a small realm independent of the Three Realms, and only the special environment there can make people, immortals, and demons survive forever. ”

Xinchen thoughtfully, nodded, and was about to open his mouth to bring the topic back to the matter of the Western Expedition, but he heard Li Guang say again: "Do you know the origin of the Soul Devouring Ancient Array? In ancient times, there was a stunning and brilliant immortal, the shape of the Dharma Heaven and Earth Taiji Bagua, using the soul as fire, taking the blood of all spirits and sacrificing it to himself, cultivating an immortal golden body, so that it can exist forever in the mortal world, and the formation is soul devouring. And the Soul Devouring Array we saw was only a remnant formation, so with the respect of the Immortal Emperor, relying on this formation can only recover injuries, but it cannot last forever in the mortal world, so the threat of demons to us is far greater than that of immortals!"

Xinchen knew that Li Guang was trying to convince himself, so he told these ancient secret histories to himself, and asked, "What happened to the immortals?"

Li Guang replied: "The Soul Devouring Array hurts the heavens and the earth, and it is rumored that the immortal is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and it has not died well. Then he pointed to the map and said impassionedly: "And what we have to do is to drive the Western Regions demons back to the Demon Realm and make Kyushu a free Kyushu!"

Xinchen lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and Li Guang did not urge. After a long time, Xinchen raised his head and asked, "Uncle Huang, then what should we do?"

Li Guang put down the four gentlemen's drawings one by one, turned to the direction of the house door, and said, "I will try my best to persuade the states to suspend the construction of the city and mobilize all forces to march west!"

After January, Xijing gathered an army of one million, Li Guang led the Chinese army of 800,000 to send a letter to the valley to the west, and Xinchen led 200,000 to be responsible for the grain and grass baggage, and the westward expedition with all the strength of the country began!
