Chapter 20: The Peak of Seclusion

At the last moment, when the iron spear in his hand was less than two inches away from his throat, a white flame suddenly ignited at the tip of the spear, and the spear forged by the dark iron turned into molten iron in an instant. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The most frightening thing is that the flame did not be extinguished, but attached to it with the momentum of a prairie fire along the barrel of the gun, and in the terrified eyes of the enemy generals, it turned into a pile of black powder, and disappeared into the sky and earth by the breeze on the city wall.

Dongfang Juben thought that he would definitely die, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel pain, when his eyes full of doubts opened, what he saw was a boundless sea of fire, and the flames ignited the enemy troops on the city wall one after another, and in an instant he didn't even have time to escape, and he was gone.

The flames quickly stretched down the city wall, and the ladder was ignited and turned into a fire ladder, and the soldiers on it could not escape death.

This white blazing flame appeared too quickly, and when the ordinary soldiers reacted, there was no one within a hundred steps of the city wall, and thousands of people were instantly burned into ashes by the flames, and the air was filled with a thick smell of burning, which made the soldiers nause, and many of them even vomited on the spot.

In fact, all this happened only in an instant, except for two men who had passed through the Nether Realm who had predicted that something was bad in advance and escaped with their own Dao Realm, none of the rest of the enemy troops were spared.

With such a large-scale move, even the wise Chen Lin was frightened, which inevitably caused greater casualties, and hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the army retreated ten miles away like a tide, and camped near the mountain pass to discuss countermeasures.

"We've won!" the soldiers never dreamed that victory would come so easily, and they raised their arms and shouted and ran to tell each other.

Different from the simple celebration of the soldiers, Nangong Li, as the main general, knew that this was the time to establish his prestige, so he quietly glanced at the Oriental Giant.

Although Dongfang Ju's blade was lost and his true qi was too depleted, his basic consciousness was still there, and he immediately led the generals to shout loudly: "Long live Your Highness! Long live Your Highness!"

As the generals shouted, the soldiers remembered the victorious man, and they cast their gazes looking up at the majestic figure on the city wall, and shouted long live.

Through the prompts of the system, he learned that at this moment, the people's hearts in Quling City were rising rapidly, and Qi Yue also had a smile on his face.

The jubilation on the city wall is only temporary, although Qi Yue has burned thousands of soldiers, but the local government will definitely come up with countermeasures tomorrow, and it will come back and forth, and then it will be the real fatal time.

After celebrating a little with the soldiers, he ordered Dongfang and others to guard the city wall, while he himself quietly returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Nangong Li and the Divine Arrow Guard.

After half a day, the sunset had already set unconsciously, and the half crescent moon was faintly revealed in the west, and it was obviously night.

Qi Yue went back to the room first, and saw that Bian Yuzhu's mood seemed to have settled down, and he chatted with him with a few words of relief before getting up and going to the hall council.

When he walked into the hall, he found that the rest of the people under his command had already arrived, except for a few people who had guarded the city wall, including several newly appointed officials yesterday, who were also dressed and waiting for him with a calm face at this moment.

Seeing that Qi Yue was late, of course no one among the ministers would ask him where he went, but Qi Qi got up and bowed down and said, "Weichen, see Your Highness!"

"All the secretaries, please sit" casually pressed his hand to signal to sit down, and said: "Gather everyone here, I guess the purpose is clear."

The next head Wenwu, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Nangong Ze took the lead in getting up: "The specific matter has been informed by Weichen, but I don't know if His Highness summoned me and others, is it to discuss countermeasures or ......?"

Qi Yue nodded: "That's right, I think you already know that although I am unprepared to temporarily repel the enemy army, but Chen Lin will definitely come up with countermeasures for tomorrow's battle, and at that time, with the existing defenders, I am afraid that it will be attacked on the city wall again, and it is to gather you here to discuss countermeasures."

When it came to military issues, the civilian officials collectively entered a fugue state, avoiding Qi Yue's eager gaze, and in desperation, he could only put his hope on the side of the military generals.

Nangong Li, who is the head of the generals, is also in the position of commander, so he naturally got up and said: "I have an idea from a humble position, but I need the help of Lord Li, I don't know if His Highness can agree."

The Master Li in Nangong's mouth was naturally Li Daoxuan, who had just returned, and it seemed that he had already expected this matter, and he was not surprised when he heard this, but responded with a smile.

"As far as I know, Master Li is proficient in the art of stargazing, Nangong, do you want him to help you find out something?" Qi Yue 105's intelligence was not white, and Nangong had already guessed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Nangong Li didn't deny it, looked at Li Daoxuan and said: "I want to ask Lord Li to help me calculate whether there will be rain in the near future, at this time, it is related to whether this battle can be won, and I hope Lord Li will not refuse."

Li Daoxuan didn't seem to like to talk very much, so he just smiled, then glanced at the sunset outside the house through the window, turned his head and said indifferently: "There will be a heavy rain at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, which will roughly last for half a pillar of incense, and after the rain, there will be a brief miasma rising in the north col of Quling City, and people and animals will hallucinate when they hear it."

Li Daoxuan's tone was light, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but when he heard him make your ears, he felt a little too casual, and many colleagues frowned.

Seeing this, Chu Le'an was afraid that this nephew would anger the prince, so he hurriedly added: "This is how the national teacher predicted the time of heaven back then, and it is rumored that it is their Li family's secret technique, and it has never been wrong so far."

Hearing this, the doubts in Qi Yue's heart disappeared, and then he agreed: "I see, there are such secret techniques in the world, and His Royal Highness will definitely have a good discussion with Master Li on another day."

When it comes to family heirlooms, Li Daoxuan finally has some expressions, and his expression is slightly arrogant: "Your Highness has won the award, and Weichen must know everything."

Since Nangong Li has a countermeasure, Qi Yue naturally doesn't want to ask too carefully, on the one hand, he is worried that someone under his command will leak secrets, on the other hand, he doesn't want to restrain his subordinates, giving people a feeling of being too strong, which will make his subordinates lose their own ability.

......

At night, Qi Yue naturally returned to his room, he didn't want the other party to feel unkind.

After returning to the house, he unexpectedly found that Bian Yuzhu was sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by a cold and icy true qi, which made the surrounding frost all over the ground, and the tea on the table was frozen, like a world of ice and snow.

Standing at the door in a daze, she thought for a long time, since she decided to marry the other party, there was no need to seal her dantian again, after all, Quling City was not safe now, and she was always a little uneasy as a weak girl.

With a few flicks of her fingers, the fire dragon's true qi entered several big holes on her body, and suddenly a cold and icy force erupted head-on, catching him off guard and causing him to take a few steps backwards again and again.

He looked at Bian Yuzhu with a suspicious expression, he clearly remembered that he didn't have such a strong cultivation before, and there must have been some kind of change in the other party's body.

When she was stunned, Bian Yuzhu also woke up from her cultivation, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the entire room had been completely frozen, but that person was standing at the door, looking at her with complicated eyes.

This kind of gaze reminded her of the events of last night, and she hurriedly protected her front with both hands, and retreated to the corner of the bed, looking at him in horror with a pair of watery eyes.

Such a big action made Qi Yue also come back to his senses, and when he saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just see that your cultivation seems to have improved a lot, and I just think it's a little strange."

Hearing this, Bian Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and said with surprise and joy: "This ...... Is what the master said true?"

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be afraid of himself, Qi Yue came to the table, and the flame in his palm suddenly melted the frost in the cup, and the fragrance of tea filled the room.

After the girl muttered to herself, she hurriedly stretched out a jade hand, and her true qi condensed into an ice crystal similar to a snowflake in her palm.

After seeing this ice crystal, the girl seemed to see something incredible, covered her mouth with one hand and trembled: "Eight snowflakes...... It's really eight snowflakes!"

Attracted by the girl's exclamation, Qi Yue also looked at her left hand, and found that there were indeed eight pieces of ice crystals in this article, but he couldn't think of why the other party was so surprised.

Although Qi Yue didn't open his mouth to ask, the girl obviously wanted to share this joy with others, so she grabbed his arm in excitement and shook it happily: "Master once said that once the practice of this sect reaches the eight ice crystal flowers, it means that it has reached the peak cultivation of the Secluded Realm, and only the last ice flower is needed to step into the legendary transcendent realm!

Seeing the girl's smile like a flower, Qi Yue seemed to have forgotten the troubles in his heart, and became happy: "Although I don't know how you broke through, I want to congratulate you"

The girl smiled even more happily at Qi Yue's congratulations, and after a while, she turned back to her and said, "Hurry up and see if your cultivation has improved."

"My?" Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't stand the girl's eager gaze, his mind moved, and he entered a state of inner vision.

"How could it be like this...... when did it happen!"

Although the size of the giant tree in the body has not changed, the true qi stamens on the tree are all blooming, and the branches where the fire dragon is entrenched are even more fruitful, and you can almost smell the enticing fragrance of the fruit.

According to Liuyun Zhenren's original words, such a situation is really a complete achievement, and at the same time, cultivation is a sign of reaching the peak of the Passage Realm.

It is good to make progress in cultivation, but if he doesn't know the reason, it is enough to make him tremble.

Hurriedly exited the inward state, looked at Bian Yuzhu who was full of anticipation beside him, and said suspiciously: "How do you know that my cultivation has progressed?"

Hearing this, Bian Yuzhu showed an expression that was really like this, and after a while, his little face turned red, and he said shyly: "This exercise method is peculiar, as long as the practitioner breaks the body, both sides will be blessed by the other's skills, so we will advance together, you ...... You don't blame me, do you?"

Qi Yue's heart was already happy, there was still such a good thing in the world, and he made up his mind that if he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation in the future, he would definitely go to find a woman from Tianya Pavilion again, maybe he could break through directly.
