Chapter 114: Open the door and let him in
On the hilltop next to Taihe City, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the rebel camp in the distance. After a while, Ah Jiu came back first, flew behind the King of Ten Thousand Monsters and said, "The main figures of the Lin family have been dealt with."
"With the Lin family gone, the Zhendong Army will become a headless fly. The pace of advancement will be delayed for a while. We just need to delay the time. If a few generals appear in the Zhendong Army in the future, we will kill them so that they will have no generals to lead." said the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Why go through so much trouble? They are the army of the Canglong Empire. It will take us no more than an hour to destroy them. Why does the Queen want us to keep them?" Ajiu asked puzzled.
"She wants to use this attack to make these families in the country jump out and join the rebels, so that she can eliminate them openly. This way, the people below will have nothing to say, and it will be difficult for them to find other excuses to fight back against the royal family." said the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
"It's too troublesome to manage this country. As long as you have absolute power, you can destroy anyone who dares to talk about it. Why waste time on these things?" Ajiu said disdainfully.
"You naturally don't understand this. Humans have their own way, and monsters have their own way. Why hasn't Caiyi come back yet?"
As soon as the King of Ten Thousand Monsters said this, a beam of colorful light flew down and shouted, "He's back."
"What happened?" Jiu asked immediately.
"I met an acquaintance. Master Cangming was also in the army. I saw that those with him were elders from several major sects of the Canglong Empire, so I came back first. However, I also gave them a warning. They probably won't dare to go deeper in the short term." Caiyi said.
"The Yu Lan Fairy Island is also involved? What kind of ability does this Ji Tian Sect Leader have to let so many major sects participate in the war in the mortal world? There must be something fishy." After all, the King of Ten Thousand Demons has a lot of contact with humans and is familiar with the operation of human countries.
At this time, the King of Ten Thousand Demons sensed the magic of the Xuanguan Mirror, and immediately waved his hand. The water in front of him formed a mirror, and the figure of the Queen appeared in front of him.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, I have discussed with the Left Prime Minister that you should return to Qianjing. You can ignore the attack from the Canglong Empire and the Southern Five Nations Alliance."
Shangguan Rong has now reached the fourth level of the innate realm, and is considered a master among the cultivators of the time. She has been learning various spells from Shu Yao.
"Why? What if the people of our country are massacred? The emperor has repeatedly instructed that this plan must ensure the safety of the people in the city." Caiyi asked immediately.
“The Canglong Empire and the Five Southern Kingdoms have already taken over several cities. The officials and families there have long been secretly communicating with each other. Naturally, the two armies will not do something like massacring a city, which would harm both sides.
Judging from the current deployment of the two armies, their goal is to meet in Qianjing in an attempt to overthrow the dynasty.
Those cities have been carefully managed by major families for hundreds of years. They are related to their interests, so they will naturally make arrangements for their back-up plans. There is no need to worry.
You just need to secretly observe the Canglong Army along the way. As long as they don't do anything to harm the people of Qianyuan, you don't have to take action. If anything happens to harm the people of Qianyuan, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy, and you will serve as the second line of defense. "Shangguan Rong said.
"All right."
Caiyi nodded. In fact, she didn't care about the Queen's orders at all. She only listened to Zhou An's orders. And she was still a little jealous of Shangguan Rong. She had been pursuing her eldest brother for hundreds of years without success. As soon as the Queen appeared, she married her eldest brother's reincarnation. Even Shangguan Rong could see the sourness.
The King of Ten Thousand Monsters didn't want the Queen and Cai Yi to have a conflict, so he dispersed the Mysterious Light Mirror, stretched his body and said, "We'll be free later, so let's just go out and have some fun."
Ah Jiu smiled evilly and said, "The Monster Department is very short of people recently, and Qian Yuan has a lot of idle monsters."
The three of them smiled, then turned into streams of light and flew away.
········ Jingyang County in the south is adjacent to the Wolf State of Yanzhou. Currently, the three major cities here are occupied by the Five-Nation Alliance. The surrounding small cities are afraid of being massacred and have chosen to surrender.
But at this moment, inside the military camp of the Southern Five Nations Alliance, there were four rows of corpses, all of whom were senior generals of the coalition forces.
All the generals had their throats cut, but among the 700,000-man army, no one saw who killed them.
Overnight, the only senior generals left in the army were the supreme commanders of the five countries' respective legions, and all the others had died.
Even the monks who followed the army did not notice it.
The faces of the five marshals changed drastically when they saw this scene, and the morale of the army could be said to have hit rock bottom.
"Master Kongdu, even you haven't found the murderer?" The commander of the Wolf Country asked, suppressing his anger.
Kong Du sighed and said, "These corpses still have demonic energy. I am sure it was done by a demon, and this demon is good at hiding its tracks."
The monks from Yanzhou all frowned, all at a loss as to what to do.
At this time, an officer ran over and took out a flag and shouted: "Report, Marshal, someone left a message on our flag."
The officer handed over the military flag, and the Feng State Marshal took it and opened it. On it were written in blood: "If you don't withdraw today, you will be beheaded tomorrow, Marshal."
The bloodstains on the ten big characters had not dried yet, indicating that they were just written. A dozen monks here immediately flew to various places in the military camp, but found nothing. One of them took out a mirror and shone it around the military camp, but found nothing unusual, which made these monks secretly annoyed.
After cremating the dead general, the five marshals called all the cultivators to the main tent. The commander of the Phoenix Kingdom immediately asked, "Masters, do you have a way to find a senior who can find this monster?"
"I'll go back and ask my uncle for help. He has the Heavenly Mirror and should be able to find this monster." said a monk with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
"Okay, thank you, Immortal Master." The commander of the Phoenix Kingdom nodded, and the cultivator immediately flew away on his sword.
"I've heard that a demon tribe has emerged in Qianyuan. It seems that they have indeed gathered a lot of demon cultivators. I think it would be safer to go back and ask our elders to come out. Demon cultivators have always been unscrupulous. If they ignore their inner demons and attack ordinary soldiers, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties." A Taoist in green said.
Everyone nodded. This time their master asked them to join the army, and told them that if they encountered a powerful enemy, they could come back for help.
After the monks left, the five marshals looked at each other with helplessness on their faces. They were experienced in commanding battles, and there had been almost no monks participating in wars before. This time, they encountered demon cultivators just as they advanced, which made them feel helpless.
At this moment, on the streets of Liuyang City in Jingyang County, Xiao Wu was eating the candies she bought on the street while looking at the various interesting decorations here.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed beside her, and Youji appeared and frowned, "Why don't you take action?"
"Tsk, what's the point of going there? I don't like bullying these mortals. Nothing is more attractive than these delicious and fun things." Xiao Wu said, taking a delicious bite of the fruit cake.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“If the emperor finds out, be careful or he might cause trouble for you. You know how powerful he is.” After You Ji finished speaking, she turned into a black shadow and disappeared in a flash.
"Hmph, if I hadn't listened to the Golden Robe, I would not have been discovered. Damn the Golden Robe, he is still harming me even after his death." Xiao Wu had a look of unwillingness on her face. Thinking about the fact that she would have to be loyal to the emperor in the future, she suddenly felt that the snacks in her hand no longer smelled good.
While she was complaining, she suddenly received a connection signal from Shangguan Rong's Xuan Guang Mirror. She was startled and ran into the alley next to her. She flew and landed in a corner on the top of an attic. With a wave of her hand, the Xuan Guang Mirror appeared in front of her.
"Queen, I'm not slacking off. I'm just passing by here." Xiao Wu explained quickly. She was afraid that You Ji would tell tales, and she didn't dare to offend Zhou An.
Thinking of Miro's wildness and Lao Bai's dagger hidden in his smile, I can't help but feel tired.
Those who have been trained these days feel that they are even more miserable than those little demons. They have completely lost the free days they used to have, and they feel deeply sad about the darkness of their future.
Shangguan Rong looked at her meaningfully. She knew Xiao Wu's personality and didn't force her too much. As long as she didn't do anything to harm the empire, she would let her do whatever she wanted.
"Xiao Wu, you and You Ji don't need to attack the alliance army anymore. Just pay attention to their movements along the way. As long as they don't do anything to massacre the civilians, don't worry about it."
"Ah! Okay." Xiao Wu was delighted when she heard that. Doesn't this mean she can have a legitimate holiday?
Shangguan Rong said again: "Xiao Wu, I know your personality. It's okay to be playful. You must ensure the safety of the people along the way as the Five Nations Alliance advances."
"I understand." Xiao Wu shouted very seriously.
Shangguan Rong smiled and said, "Qian Yuan will get through this difficult time, and I will give you more free time."
"Thank you, Queen." Xiao Wu was happy. After the Xuan Guang Mirror ended, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed as if the Queen could see through her heart.
It was already dark at this moment. Xiao Wu turned into a pink stream of light and flew away, arriving at a big tree outside the coalition camp. You Ji stood on the treetop and looked at the camp.
She immediately said: "Shangguan Rong has spoken, telling us not to worry about the coalition forces, just protect them..."
"I already know. What follows is my personal grudge." You Ji said coldly.
"Personal grudge? How could these mortals have a grudge against you?" Xiao Wu showed a surprised expression.
"I am from the Wolf Country. When I was young, the Wolf Country's royal family and cultivators destroyed my clan. I worked hard to improve my cultivation just to get revenge, but the Wolf Country's high priest is the great elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. I can't defeat him alone."
After You Ji finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Wu and said, "This time they will definitely ask the elders to come and help me hold back the other cultivators. I will take care of the rest."
Xiao Wu was helpless, but seeing You Ji's cold eyes, she was still her sister these days, and it would be unreasonable not to help her. She sighed and said, "Well, I can't escape it anyway."
"After this is done, I will take you to a good place. It's a lot of fun there." You Ji glanced at her, then stared at the military camp and stopped talking.
"It's a deal." Xiao Wu was curious. With You Ji's cold personality, she always said that the fun places must be different from others.
