Chapter 107: Unprecedented and Unrivaled (Two in One)
The King of Qi was naturally the eldest prince of the Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Yanwei's half-brother, and the best candidate for the crown prince.
Previously, it was because the King of Qi went north to kill the barbarians that the education officials were left unsupervised, giving Zhou Yanwei an opportunity.
Now that the King of Qi has been unexpectedly captured by the Ye Man, if anything goes wrong, Zhou Yanwei will naturally be the most likely candidate.
However, this matter is still uncertain, because the queen has a younger son, the third prince, who is only two years old.
Zhou Yanwei is the eldest, but the third prince is the legitimate heir. If Ji Chengtian is more partial, it is entirely possible that he would directly bypass Zhou Yanwei and choose to train the third prince.
Ji Chengtian is only 42 years old now, in the prime of his life, and can completely train another one from scratch.
Although Chen Kuang actually felt that Ji Chengtian might not want to appoint a crown prince at all, so he didn't care about this at all...
After all... he is looking for the elixir of life.
If one could live forever, who would train an heir for themselves?
Of course it feels better to have all the power in your hands.
But even so, for Zhou Yanwei, something happening to the King of Qi should be something he would welcome.
Chen Kuang thought so in his heart, but the three people's faces did not show any joy. On the contrary, they looked extremely heavy.
It seems... the breach of the Beiyuan defense line is far more serious than the capture of the King of Qi.
Zhou Yanwei obviously knew what others would think, and explained with a serious face:
"The most difficult thing in the world is greater than the struggle between family and country."
"If the Beiyuan defense line is torn apart, it could be the beginning of a catastrophe not only for the Great Zhou, but also for the entire Central Region, and even for the human race..."
Chen Kuang knew that he was not exaggerating.
Because the Liang State is located in the southeast of the Central Region, a long distance away from the Beiyuan, it is relatively prosperous and peaceful. In Chen Kuang's memory, he did not have a deep impression of the invasion of the Yeman.
But I still know some of the history and things that have been passed down orally.
The Night Barbarians and the Human Race have a mortal feud that has lasted for thousands of years.
Ultimately, there is only one reason.
The Yeman people live by eating humans.
Even if they can fill their stomachs with other meats or monsters, they will soon die of exhaustion. Therefore, the Night Barbarians must plunder humans for food.
In ancient times, the human race was prosperous and the emperor Shuo was in charge of the human race. Therefore, the Yeman dared not act rashly and could only live in a corner and were driven to the ancient glacier outside the Beiyuan to fend for themselves.
But after the "Battle of Hunting the Sky", the Human Emperor fell, the country's fortunes declined, and the chaotic times were full of endless wars. The Ye Man took the opportunity to make a comeback, secretly picking up corpses and eating them during the war. When they reproduced to a certain size again, they began to invade the Central Region wantonly.
And Ye Man was not actually called Ye Man at the beginning.
In ancient times, they had another name——
magic.
To this day, the Yeman have grown and developed in the Northern Plains. There are a total of 72 tribes, large and small, who support the Yeman king Ahus and are eyeing the Central Region covetously.
The reason why Ye Man is still unable to cross Xunmi Mountain.
One reason is that the natural barrier of Xunmi Mountain is too high and too vast, stretching across Beiyuan and blocking Yeman's advance route.
This should also be the consideration of the Human Emperor back then.
Second, countless practitioners and mortal armies who fought one after another built an extremely solid Beiyuan defense line with their flesh and blood.
Even among them, practitioners are not the main force.
The mortal army that relies on the "force formation" to fight is the main force in the battle against the Yeman.
The practitioners are very powerful, but their numbers are too few after all.
The reproduction rate of the Yeman is very terrifying, and their cannibalism is not just eating meat and drinking blood. They can directly absorb spiritual energy and completely transform humans into their own nutrients. In a short period of time, they can grow to the same strength as an innate realm practitioner.
Two fists cannot beat four hands. No matter how strong a practitioner is, when facing hundreds of enemies, there will be a moment of exhaustion.
Two years ago, there were rumors that a cultivator at the Grandmaster level was trapped deep in the Northern Plains, where his spiritual energy was drained away and he was eventually eaten.
In comparison, a force formation only requires a well-trained mortal, plus a low-level practitioner who has practiced the force formation as the core of the formation, which is enough to exert a strength far beyond that of the practitioner at the core of the formation.
For example, Li Hongling's Black Armor Army is the best among them.
Her major was also formation.
If she had not been killed by Chen Kuang on the way, she would have led the Black Armored Army to attack King Qi.
The border of the Great Zhou Dynasty is right next to Beiyuan, and it is the first and most important line of defense.
If this line of defense is completely torn apart, the people on the border of the Great Zhou will be in unimaginable trouble. If the Great Zhou cannot stop it, the countries behind it will also suffer...
"However, even in this situation, Ji Chengtian still wanted to use his military strength to destroy the Liang Kingdom."
Chen Kuang shook his head secretly: "His desire for immortality is too strong."
But when I think about Su Yu, it seems that the desires of the kings of the world are roughly the same.
"The defense of Beiyuan is of great importance and cannot be delayed. As a sect that advocates involvement in the world and takes the destiny of heaven as its own responsibility, we cannot stand idly by."
Qi Sibai continued to explain: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country, and we cultivators have an even greater obligation to do so."
He mentioned destiny, and Chen Kuang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't you say before that your destiny was the demon sword? Now that your destiny is gone, what will you do next?"
Qi Sibai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood."
He smiled and explained with a bit of amusement, "So Brother Chen came here in such a hurry because he was worried that my destiny was gone?"
