Zhongzhou, Shenmu City

While both sides were resting, the leaders of the Hedao in Zhongzhou were arguing fiercely. They had received the news that the Ziyun Sect was breached and the Queen of Demons was heading east.

As Lin Jiang expected, all the sects were panicking. In order to support the Shenmu Sect, they brought almost all of their elites. Their homes were very empty. If they did not go back to rescue, their homes would definitely be stolen.

The safety of the sect was too important. The families of all the disciples who participated in the war were there, and their wealth was also there. Even if they were not taken down, just a war there would be enough to cause them heavy losses.

"Stop arguing, be quiet,"

He Laozu shouted, quieting the scene.

"There is no point in arguing now. You want to go back, right? Go back, go back immediately. I don't want Shenmu City anymore. Immediately return to Shenmu Sect and seal the mountain,"

He Laozu said angrily. If these people dared to leave, he would dare to seal the mountain, because once they left, how could the Shenmu Sect resist the demons.

"Don't say those angry words, Patriarch He. Once Shenmu Sect retreats, the southern gate of Zhongzhou will be gone. The demons can attack any sect in Zhongzhou and attack from any direction. Isn't this just wanting us dead?"

Wu Zilin said immediately, playing a double act with Patriarch He. His words had already stated the pros and cons.

As expected, everyone fell silent. If Shenmu Sect closed the mountain, it would be useless for them to run back home, unless they also closed the mountain. But if everyone closed the mountain, would the demons retreat? It was impossible. The demons would only knock down the sects one by one.

"Ancestor He, Ancestor Wu, let's not say angry words. Let's discuss what to do. Now the news can't be controlled. It's not that we want to leave, but our disciples can't control it. The family and friends of each disciple are all at the mountain gate. Who wouldn't worry about his family, right?"

"That's true, so we have to think of a win-win plan. Ancestor Wu, tell the good news."

"Okay, we just received news today that Cao Ying, the Hedao of Yunzhou, has already entered Qingzhou. Cao Ying defeated the monsters in Yunzhou, Hezhou, and Liuzhou successively, and is now sending troops to Qingzhou. She brought the cultivators of the three states, more than two million troops, to the north to fight against the monsters. She said that after solving the monsters in Qingzhou, she would turn to Bingzhou and also cut off the monsters' retreat."

"Never heard of Cao Ying of Yunzhou

." "Who is Cao Ying?"

"Does she have this ability?"

Wu Zilin told the news about Yunzhou. Of course, the data was exaggerated. Everyone didn't believe it at first, because Cao Ying had only been promoted to the Hedao level for a short time and had not yet become famous in the world of immortal cultivation. Many Hedao masters usually practiced hard in seclusion and didn't know about this.

"Cao Ying is the second Hedao in Yunzhou after Lin Batian. Before Cao Ying became a Hedao, she was known as the Witch of Yunzhou. She is quite powerful and has already killed the Demon King in battle formation. In addition, Zhou Huaiying is also in Yunzhou."

"Zhou Huaiying..."

Wu Zilin added, which made everyone's face change greatly. Zhou Huaiying was killed by them together. Basically, everyone present took action, except for a few who advanced to the Hedao level later.

"Don't worry, Zhou Huaiying has been controlled and planted with the secret art of enslavement."

"This, Wu Laozu, what is so special about Yunzhou?"

Someone said what everyone was thinking. What is so special about Yunzhou? It defeated the demons of several states in a row and even controlled Zhou Huaiying.

“I don’t know either. Now is not the time to discuss this. What we need to determine now is our strategy. The Demon Queen’s eastward advance has indeed threatened our retreat. We must find a way to solve this problem.”

“Ancestor Wu, what do you say we should do?”

“What I mean is that Shenmu City must not be abandoned. The main forces here must not move. Each sect must have some people left behind. All the remaining personnel must gather at the gate of Qingchen Sword Sect to resist the Demon Queen’s army. What do you think?” “

Then what about the Demon Queen?”

“Gather the troops from here and go over. When Cao Ying enters Qingzhou, the Demon Emperor will definitely send the Demon King over. We can reduce one or two people here. In the subsequent battles, we will try not to fight and focus on defending.”

“Will this work? In case we can’t resist, we will divide our forces again…”

"This is the best way at the moment. If we break up here, we will be courting death. We can only take a gamble on who can hold on. I don't believe the demon tribe can ignore the retreat. As long as Cao Ying enters Bingzhou, the demon tribe must make a choice,"

said Wu Zilin. Now their hope is Cao Ying. It depends on who is faster between Cao Ying and the demon queen, and who cuts the retreat first, who will have a chance to win.

"I agree with this decision, gentlemen. There is no chance of luck now. It's either life or death. Let's take a gamble."

"I agree, but each sect must send all the forces left behind, and stop playing tricks,"

said the Hedao Patriarch of the Qingchen Sword Sect. If the battlefield is set up at his home, his home will be destroyed no matter what, but it is better than losing his home.

Everyone nodded. This was the time when they were most united. How could they dare to play tricks? If they were not careful, they would really lose everything.

·······

Qingzhou, reinforcements from the Demon God Temple came. This time, it was the old Sky-Splitting Ape and the Peng Bird Demon King. Even the Jiaolong Demon King was defeated by Yunzhou, so the Demon God Temple directly sent the top Demon King.

Together with the original Demon King of Qingzhou, there were three people in total. According to Fengjiu's expectations, it should be enough to deal with them.

This was not the Demon God Temple's tactic of adding fuel to the fire. Fengjiu also wanted to send ten or eight Demon Kings to crush Yunzhou, but the problem was that it could not send more. If the number was increased, the battlefield in Zhongzhou would be lost.

The old Ape Demon King and the Peng Bird Demon King each brought their own people to Qingzhou and joined the Qingzhou demon army. With them came the fifth-level demon king Xiao Shadiao.

The Aurora Falcon was very fast, and the little sand sculpture quickly asked for orders to scout the movements of the human race. However, as soon as he left the demon army, the little sand sculpture sent a message to Lin Jiang, and the two met secretly.

"Brother, why did you come to Qingzhou? Are you really here?"

"The reason is too complicated, I can't explain it, but I really came."

"Hey, what should I do, are you and I going to fight? Don't do this, a lot of my sons are here."

The little sand sculpture was about to cry. His descendants were all under the command of the Peng Bird Demon King, and they were very important. Now they were all in the army. If they fought, wouldn't they kill each other?

"Little idiot, I want to ask you, is Xia Qingshan in the demon army?"

"No, I've only seen Xia Qingshan once and he disappeared. My father-in-law and the others are very afraid of him and never mention him. Brother, what should I do now?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie

?" "Nonsense, it must be the truth."

"Just listen to me and run. Let your descendants run too. You are no match for Yunzhou."

"Brother, is Yunzhou so strong?"

"It's not that my Yunzhou is strong, but there is a terrifying existence in Yunzhou, and we are all controlled."

"Ah"

"I can't go into details. Anyway, if a fight breaks out, the Peng Bird Demon King will definitely not be his opponent. He is your father-in-law and he has never treated me badly before. I don't want to see you die in battle. You must find Xia Qingshan as soon as possible, maybe there will be a turning point."

Lin Jiang said. The demon clan has attached great importance to Yunzhou and sent a top demon king, but the demon clan does not know Lin Die's situation. Lin Jiang has seen Lin Die take action, and the Peng Bird Demon King is by no means his opponent.

"Brother, my mind is in a mess now. My father-in-law won't listen to me. What should I do?"

"I don't know. I said I was controlled,"

Lin Jiang said. He was helpless now. He didn't know what to do. He had to bite the bullet and take one step at a time.

"Hey, why fight? Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace?"

"It's meaningless to say this."

"I'm so embarrassed, brother."

The little sand sculpture really wanted to cry. He was really embarrassed. He didn't want to see the situation of brothers killing each other.

"Little sand sculpture, how about this, in a few days, when the war breaks out, you and I will both fight. I will find you first, and then I will hurt you, and you will take the opportunity to escape back to the wilderness. How about that?"

"But what about my children?"

"How many children did you come with?"

"Thirty-six, six have died, nine are here, and the others are with Lin Fanghua" "

..."

Lin Jiang couldn't spit out a breath in his heart. It was brewed. He really didn't know that the little sand sculpture was so awesome.

"Brother..."

"You make your own decision, I have nothing to say,"

Lin Jiang said. In fact, he wanted to say that if you should give up, then give up.

This is cruel and ruthless, but it is the truth. Even among humans, not every parent treats their children as treasures. Think about those cases of drowning and killing babies. Aren't they also done by the parents themselves? The first instinct of a creature should be to survive.

But Lin Jiang really couldn't say this. It was too cruel.

"Brother..."

"I can't say more, otherwise I can't explain it. Remember, in the first battle, you and I will fight together. You must find me, and then we will fight and retreat. When we get to the edge of the battlefield, I will injure you, and you can run. It's best to run back to the wilderness directly,"

Lin Jiang said. There were more than just the two of them, and there were many more scouts on both sides. They didn't have time to reminisce and left quickly.

Back in the military camp, a large number of immortal cultivators were still busy. Like the demons, they were adjusting their status and waiting for the day of the decisive battle.
