The hundreds of thousands of surviving Wu-Yue coalition troops were surrounded by the Zhou army and compressed into a small Shaanxi area.

Although the natives still did not lay down their weapons, they could not fight at all in the space where there was almost no room to turn around.

Not to mention archery, even throwing a stone into it will kill several people.

At this point in the war, there is no suspense, it depends on when Zhao Yide will order to stop the massacre.

Seeing that the long-cherished enemy who had been entangled with Zhou for hundreds of years finally fell in front of him, Zhao Yide was inevitably a little complacent.

He stood proudly on the high platform and stared into the distance.

It was as if a new empire had emerged before his eyes, with more than twice the size of the current territory, a strong country, subjugation from all sides, abundant resources, and everyone living and working in peace and contentment.

It's a pity that his dream can only go so far, and an accident happens.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the earth, knocking him down and nearly knocking him off the platform.

The troops on the ground fell in large numbers, and there were flaws in the encirclement.

The Wu-Yue coalition army, which was still trapped, saw the hope of survival, and frantically counterattacked the gap, with a great tendency to take advantage of the opportunity to get out of the predicament.

Zhao Yide hurriedly got up, wanting to command the army to stabilize the formation.

However, before he could give the order, the battlefield changed dramatically.

In the center of the battlefield, large swaths of land rapidly crumbled downward, and an unfathomable crater appeared.

Both sides of the battle were so startled by the strange changes that they forgot to wave their weapons for a while.

Before they could come to their senses, black gas erupted violently from the big pit, forming a black pillar and heading straight for Xiao Han.

The black gas sprayed violently, and the air wave formed actually rushed the soldiers within a hundred steps like scarecrows.

Looking around, Zhao Yide found that there were five such black pillars, and the black pillar in front of him was in the center, and there were four black pillars distributed at the four corners. The four black pillars on the horns were about a hundred miles apart, and they encompassed all the great army.

If it was just an earthquake and a crack in the ground, mortals would still be able to understand it, but if these five strange black pillars appeared, they could only be attributed to ghosts and gods.

Faced with the fear of the unknown, the will of the armies on both sides completely collapsed, and they spontaneously scattered and fled.

Zhao Yide on the high platform could only watch helplessly as all this happened, completely powerless, the cooked duck was really about to fly.

Without allowing him to think too much, the black gas emitted by the five black pillars formed a black cloud at the top of each of them, and quickly expanded.

The range of the five black clouds grew larger and larger, and soon merged together, forming a huge black cloud with a radius of hundreds of miles, completely blocking the sunlight and plunging the battlefield into darkness.

Now, Zhao Yide had no other way but to order: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

He himself got up, ready to step down the high platform, and leave this strange place first.

Suddenly, a creepy howl rang out from the big pit in the middle.

Under this terrible howl, those native soldiers who fought from the sea of corpses and blood were actually frightened and collapsed to the ground.

The big pit in the middle opened, and the big pit at the four corners did not show weakness, and the howls came and went, and the soldiers were completely unable to move.

A cloud of black gas rose from the five pits at the same time, and it was from these black gases that the howl was emanated.

The soldiers who collapsed to the ground looked at these black air masses in horror.

Something even more terrifying happened, the black air mass slowly changed, first into a human form, then into facial features, and finally into five evil ghosts with their heads above the sky and their feet on the ground.

The demon in the middle has two horns on his head, his body is the tallest, and his breath is also the strongest, reaching the peak of the late Jindan period.

The demon in the four corners is slightly smaller, and there is only one horn on its head, exuding the aura of the middle stage of Jindan.

The five demons looked greedily at the soldiers on the ground, howling excitedly.

Suddenly, the demon in the middle opened its big black mouth and sucked at the earth soldier on the ground.

The soldiers who had died in battle, their souls were already unstable, and they were the first to be sucked out.

Countless green light clusters rose into the air one after another from a range of dozens of miles, and hundreds of rivers converged into a green stream of light like a sea, which continued to enter his mouth.

And those undead native soldiers are also floating in spirits and suffering.

The boss made a move, and the demons in the four corners were not to be left behind, and they took action one after another, and began to devour their souls.

Five streams of green light were extremely conspicuous in the darkness, even illuminating the dark sky.

In the void in the corner of the battlefield, there were three people whose faces were flushed with excitement.

A kind white-haired old man sat in the middle, a middle-aged man with a full face and a beard and a fierce appearance stood to his left, and to his right stood Yin Xiuyuan, the Yuan Infant Elder of the Yin family.

"After two thousand years of hibernation, today I have finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish. With the souls of these two million sturdy men, with more than 10 million ordinary souls, the Five Ghost Soul Devouring Banners would definitely be able to completely repair them. It's time for our Yin family to return to Wuyin Mountain and ask Yunmeng Sect to repay its debts. ”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a beard, his name was Yin Xiujian, and he was also the Yuanying elder of the Yin family.

"Xiuyuan, what do you think?"

The white-haired old man turned his head and asked Yin Xiuyuan.

The white-haired old man Yin Siqiu, the ancestor of the Yin family, was a cultivator in the middle of the Yuan Infant period, better than Wang Yuren, and was in fact the first monk in Youzhou.

"Third brother, don't be so impulsive. With the repair of the Five Ghost Eater Banners, of course my family's strength will be greatly improved. But the Yunmeng Sect must not be underestimated, the two sides can only be regarded as evenly matched at most, we have no certainty of victory, we still have to continue to hibernate, waiting for the day of revenge to come. ”

Yin Xiuyuan obviously did not agree with Yin Xiujian's opinion, and Yin Siqiu also nodded again and again to express his support.

Yin Xiujian was not convinced, and wanted to refute.

"There are a few juniors who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they have fled to this side. Xiujian, you go and deal with it, remember the monks of the three factions, you just need to block them back, don't hurt them. At this critical juncture, we cannot afford to make enemies everywhere. ”

Yin Siqiu didn't want the two to have a dispute, so he sent Yin Xiujian out.

After receiving the order, Yin Xiujian was just about to leave, and Yin Siqiu's cold voice sounded behind him: "If it is a person from Yunmeng Sect, you don't have to be polite." After enduring for 2,000 years, let's take him to sacrifice the flag first. ”

"Hehe, I don't need to be told by the ancestor, I will do the same. Yin Xiujian replied with a sneer.

After Yin Xiujian left, Yin Siqiu said earnestly: "My lifespan is less than a hundred years, and the war is imminent, I am ready for the fall of the family." The only thing that makes me uneasy is the candidate for the next generation of family heads. Liniang is a daughter, and she can't take over as the head of the family according to the family rules. Xiu Jian acted impulsively, had no overall view, and couldn't be the head of the family, you were the only candidate. In recent years, you seem to have suddenly lost interest in this, can you tell the ancestor what the reason is?"

Yin Xiuyuan opened his mouth several times but couldn't speak, as if there was something unspeakable.

In the end, Yin Xiuyuan's face gradually became firm, and he said: "My grandson's parents died when he was a child, and it is all thanks to the support of his ancestors that he has today's achievements. The grandson has great respect for the ancestor in his heart. However, for the sake of the family's future, the grandson had to offend the ancestor. The ancestor's favor for Yin Yubin has threatened the foundation of the family. ”

"Threatening the foundation of the family, you are a bit alarmist. Yin Siyuan's face also became solemn.

"Back then, the family was besieged by the four factions in Zhongzhou and had to retreat to Youzhou. When they set off, there were more than 1,400 people, and when they arrived in Youzhou, there were only 73 people, and most of them were still juniors in the spirit introduction period and spirit seed stage. Those elders who could have escaped on their own willingly sacrificed themselves to protect these juniors. Our Yin family has endured hardships and can make a comeback, relying on this continuous blood and family affection. ”

"Yin Yubin assassinated Yin Boqin, and according to the family rules, he should be punished by the five ghosts devouring souls. But the ancestor not only punished, but also sent people to protect him in case Yin Gang and Yin Rou took revenge. As a result, the two children had to run away from home and fell one after another, but the ancestor still ignored them. With the favor of the ancestors, Yin Yubin and his clansmen ran rampant at home, bullying men and women, and no one dared to take care of them. In just a few years, the family has been turned into a miasma, and everyone is in danger and detached. Seeing that the family was about to fall apart, I was also disheartened. ”

Yin Xiuyuan's words caused Yin Siqiu's contemplation.

After a long while, Yin Siqiu woke up from his contemplation and said, "You have a good point, after you return home, you will come forward to rectify it." ”

Yin Xiuyuan was also overjoyed to be able to persuade Yin Siqiu, but he still asked, "What about Yin Yubin?"

"From this day forward, he is at your disposal. If you can't truly repent, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to report it to me. When people get old, their hearts are softened. ”

The people on the high platform, including Zhao Yide himself, were stunned by the scene in front of them.

He keenly found that the entire battlefield was only a high platform, and within a few miles of the high platform, it was not affected by evil spirits.

He never believed that it was natural, and that someone must have done something.

Scanning the ministers and guards in front of him, all of them were as pale as earth, and only Yin Lige was calm.

"Teacher, you don't seem to be surprised by what is happening in front of you. Could it be that you have the power of a prophet of the unknown?"

Obviously, Zhao Yide has something to say.

So far, Yin Lige has no intention of hiding it, and has a direct showdown.

"Your Majesty, as a human emperor, should know that there are monks in the world. These monks have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and they are unpredictable, just like immortals. Some of the things in front of him were the actions of the monks. And I also come from a family of monks, but I don't cultivate. ”

"What does your family want to do?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my family has no intention of embarrassing you. A secret array has been laid around this high platform, and there will be no danger. My family just needs the souls of these two million soldiers to perform secret methods, and if you take these souls, you will naturally retreat. ”

"As far as I know, monks are also human beings, so how can you treat the lives of two million soldiers as if they were a mustard? ”

"I know that Your Majesty loves soldiers like sons, but there is nothing you can do about this, and you can't save them. The elders of the family asked me to come and talk to His Majesty about cooperation. ”

"Cooperation, what do we have to work with, let's hear it. ”

"After today, Your Majesty will be able to dominate the most fertile land in Youzhou and have unlimited people. Our Yin family doesn't want much, as long as Your Majesty lifts the souls of a million strong men to us every year, and our return will definitely satisfy Your Majesty. In the history of Youzhou, the longest surviving dynasty was only 800 years old, and it was replaced, which is the way of heaven. If Your Majesty can agree to our conditions, my family guarantees that your Zhao family can be passed on for generations. Anyone who wants to replace the Zhao family, we will secretly help your family solve it. Where to go, please think twice about what to do. ”
