Chapter 118 Brothers Reunited
Zhou An waved his hand, and the gate of the courtyard was automatically opened by the true energy. The Spirit Master and Madam Baihua walked in. Zhou An pointed his hand, and a column of water floated out from the ground, condensing into two ice chairs and an ice table.
The Spirit Master showed a surprised expression when he saw it, and after sitting down, he said, "I didn't expect that the Emperor would comprehend the true meaning of Xuanbing so quickly."
"Good luck." Zhou An sat down and swept the table with his sleeves, revealing tea and fruit, which were what he got for signing in. They were all treasures of the world.
"I went to Linggu to check, was it done by Master Jitian?" Zhou An wanted to confirm, after all, the attack on Linggu was just his guess.
"That's right. Actually, after you left, I had already guessed that he would come. I was no match for him, so after you left, I summoned all the spirit tribe members to leave. Although the spirit pool was lost, at least the tribe members were saved for the time being."
The Spirit Master was slightly sad, and looked at Zhou An and asked, "Baihua discovered the Little Mirror Pond in Qianzhou. It is a relatively small spiritual vein where we can temporarily live. Regarding the cooperation between the Spiritual Clan and the cultivators, please speed up the process, Your Majesty."
"Okay, let Madam Baihua contact Wu Yue and teach the method of controlling spirits to the Baihua Palace. I will then let them try to practice together with the Purple Guards. If it is indeed as you said, I can let the cultivators under the empire practice together with the spirit race." Zhou An said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We will take our leave now and wait for you at Xiaojingtan." The Spiritual Master stood up, bowed slightly, and left with Madam Baihua.
After watching them leave, Zhou An did not go to see the garrison commander here, but continued to fly to other areas of Huangzhou to sign in. Now most of the map of Huangzhou has been lit up. Now that the entire state map has been lit up, there will definitely be great rewards, which makes him look forward to it.
At noon the next day, at the Binghai Pass in Beibing County, the northernmost part of Qianzhou, You Ji, Xiao Wu and Zhou Di flew to the city wall of the garrison inside the pass.
While they were still in the air, they saw the outer Ice and Snow Empire army attacking the city, with teams of soldiers rushing up to the city walls one after another to fill in the vacancies.
The soldiers of the Ice and Snow Empire used ladders to crash into the outside of the city wall. The iron claws gripped the wall, and the soldiers rushed up on the ladders. Corpses fell from the ladders like dumplings.
Although it seems that the Zhenbei Army has the upper hand at the moment, that is because of the advantage of the city wall. Once the monks of the Ice and Snow Empire take action, the advantage of the city wall will be minimal.
Because of the severe cold climate, the Zhenbei Army has only more than 300,000 troops in total, while the Ice and Snow Empire has a total of 1.2 million troops. In addition, according to intelligence, there are many immortal cultivation sects involved in the Ice and Snow Empire.
The Zhenbei Army only has one mid-level immortal cultivation sect and a small sect for support, so it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
So far, neither side has sent any cultivators to fight each other, and the Zhenbei Army can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat. It can be said that the Zhenbei Army has no chance of winning this battle. I just don't know why the other side did not use cultivators to attack the city, but just made a test.
Zhou Di was extremely anxious and wanted desperately to see his second brother whom he had not seen for many years.
As soon as the three flew down, a team of guards and a team of patrol soldiers ran over and surrounded the three. On the city wall, a team of archers immediately drew their bows and aimed at them. The arrows were all made of animal bone runes, which were low-grade magic weapons commonly used by cultivators in the acquired realm.
Zhou Di immediately shouted, "I am Zhou Di, the sixth prince of the Qianyuan Empire, and I want to see my second brother Zhou Yuan."
His identity as the Left Prime Minister was useless here. On the contrary, calling him "Second Brother" greatly reduced the soldiers' hostility.
A sergeant shouted, "Wait here, I'll go and report."
Zhou Di nodded, and the sergeant trotted into the city wall. A few minutes later, a man in his thirties wearing white armor trotted over, followed by several bodyguards.
When the two saw each other, they were delighted. Zhou Di rushed forward and shouted excitedly, "Second brother!"
Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, gently patted Zhou Di's shoulder, and laughed: "Not bad, your body is much stronger than before. Unlike before, I was afraid that you would be blown away if the wind was a little strong."
"It's all thanks to Lao Jiu who taught me the Haotian Qiankun Jue and the Xiantian Qiankun Jue, which has helped my physical condition improve a lot." Zhou Di said with a smile.
"Sixth Brother, you really know how to pick the time. Second brother doesn't have time to entertain you at this time. You know the situation. We brothers don't need to be polite. I'll just say it directly. Let's meet and have a drink. You should go back to Qianjing and tell Xiaojiu to use whatever means you can. If you can defend the Qianyuan kingdom, then my death will not be in vain." Zhou Yuan said.
"Second brother, my ninth brother is very capable now. I am here to support you. Don't worry, I will introduce you to the two generals around me. The one in black is called You Ji, a ninth-level innate demon saint, and currently a lieutenant general of the demon department.
The one in blue and white is called Xiao Wu, a ninth-level innate demon saint and a lieutenant general of the demon department. Outside, there are seven demon kings, a hundred great demons, and a thousand demon cultivators. "
Zhou Di said this with a smile. Seeing Zhou Yuan's surprised look, he felt so happy and proud in his heart. Although the Demon Tribe was not under his jurisdiction, he felt inexplicably happy when he saw his second brother's expression.
"The Innate Ninth-Layer Demon Saint! You Ji! Wait, are you the Netherworld Demon Saint?" Zhou Yuan screamed in surprise as he thought of his master's introduction to the Qianyuan Northern cultivator.
"That's right. Since the Second Prince has acknowledged him, I don't need to explain any more. The Emperor asked us to assist you in defending the Ice Customs. Seeing that you are currently at a disadvantage in the battle situation, do you mind if I let us join the battle?" You Ji said coldly.
"That's great, but we have never fought with the demons before, so how can we cooperate?"
Zhou Yuan was excited, he needed reinforcements so badly. If he hadn't known that the country was under attack from all sides, he would have asked Qian Jing for help long ago. In his eyes, every soldier of the Zhenbei Army was his brother.
"No need to cooperate. Monsters have their own way of fighting." You Ji let out a long roar, and after a while, demon cultivators flew forward from the sky. Some of them were still in the form of beasts. They were all ordinary demon cultivators.
Those who can survive the triple heavenly tribulation can cultivate into a human form, which is the level of a great demon, able to fly while standing on the bodies of some demon beasts.
Finally, there are the seven demon kings. Each of them has an awe-inspiring aura, and their demonic energy is strong. For people below the innate level, this demonic energy is likely to be enough to make them lose the will to fight.
This group of monsters flying overhead frightened the soldiers inside the pass, and most of them did not know the origins of these monsters.
The Ice and Snow Empire's army was also thrown into panic when they saw a group of monsters flying towards them.
Soon, a thousand monsters flew out of the city and rushed into the army. The ladder used to climb the city wall was smashed to pieces, and the soldiers and wood blocks on it fell everywhere.
These monsters are either huge in size, with heights of seven or eight meters, or even more than ten meters. They are so powerful that no mortal can contend with them.
It was like a tiger rushing through a group of chickens, and a swipe of its claws could knock more than a dozen people away.
The small monsters were either extremely poisonous or extremely fast, and these soldiers were killed without even seeing who did it.
The joining of the demon tribe instantly reversed the situation of the battle, and all the ladders used to climb the city were smashed within three breaths.
Outside the city, a hundred of the largest monsters stood motionless under the city wall, with a hundred big monsters standing on their shoulders, each of them looking at the slaughtered soldiers with bloodthirsty murderous intent on their faces.
On the city wall, seven demon kings stood, looking coldly at the soldiers falling down in groups below. In the eyes of the demon kings, the lives of ordinary people were the same as those of ants. As long as it did not affect their interests, they would not feel anything no matter how many people died.
The soldiers on the city wall stood there stupidly, watching the enemies below being slaughtered by monsters. Their expressions were filled with indescribable excitement.
Zhou Yuan left his brother behind, used his Qinggong skills, and jumped onto the city wall. When he saw the situation outside, his face turned red with excitement. No one wanted to die, and he was even more unwilling to see his soldiers die.
Seeing this scene, he actually shed tears of joy. His brothers didn't have to die.
