Yu Tianliu used his sorcery for the first time outside the gate of Kunlun Mountain and summoned a monster, but he did not attack immediately.
For many years, he has been practicing the immortal arts of famous and upright sects. This kind of unorthodox way is the first time he has learned it. He has not practiced enough and is not yet proficient in it.
If his hand movement was slightly delayed, the spell would be interrupted, and the monsters all over the mountains and plains quickly dissipated into demonic spirits and disappeared in the dark mist.
"Master, I think you are acting too hastily." Ge Huai said anxiously, "The monster you just summoned has been seen by the Kunlun defenders! If we don't attack immediately, they will probably be prepared... What should we do?"
"Why are you so impatient?" Yu Tianliu glanced at him coldly, and felt that his subordinate was too impatient: "My main purpose is to let them see it."
"..." Ge Huai paused, then changed his mind and praised him hastily: "Yes, Immortal Lord is wise. This move is called shaking the mountain to scare the tiger! Tianji Lord's subordinates, seeing your boundless magic power, must have been scared to death!"
"What tiger? It's just a worm at best." Another subordinate flattered, "Master Immortal, there are so many monsters and they are very strong in combat. Lord Tianji is no match for you. In a few days, they will surrender."
Yu Tianliu was thinking about how to attack the city, and ignored their flattery. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Next, we have to rely on everyone's unity of purpose."
"Master Xian is virtuous, wise and decisive. He is truly a great leader. We will work hard to take back Kunlun." Ge Huai said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Madam Ji for this."
Ji Yao stood behind Yu Tianliu without saying a word. After hearing what Ge Huai said, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Immortal Ge. I have only tried my best."
"Do your best?" Ge Huai said hurriedly, "If Madam calls this doing your best, then we are nothing."
"Ji Yao, don't be so modest." Yu Tianliu looked at her with a gentle expression and said, "If it weren't for you, this Immortal Lord would not have been able to return to the gate of Kunlun Immortal Mountain so quickly."
After Ji Yao was released by the Lord Jijiu that day, he fled all the way south and joined Yu Tianliu's army.
Of course, she would not be grateful for being let off. She still had resentment towards Yu Tianji and Mu Qingning and wanted to overthrow them and regain the glory of her family.
What's more, she has had a crush on Yu Tianliu since she was a child. Now that she finally has the chance, she must grab it.
However, after arriving here, things did not go as smoothly as she expected.
Ji Yao was proud of her beauty, but Yu Tianliu only wanted to conquer Kunlun and was always indifferent to her and not obsessed with her.
What was even more unbearable was that Yu Tianliu did not trust her very much. He was always on guard against her and tested her, which made her depressed and sad.
Ji Yao was of course unwilling to remain silent like this, and she was determined to make a contribution so that Yu Tianliu would look at her differently and even fall in love with her.
She saw it clearly—Yu Tianliu had few cultivators under his command, and it was not enough to attack Kunlun.
If you want to attack Kunlun as soon as possible, you can only borrow troops.
Where can I borrow it?
Ji Yao's heart sank, and he immediately thought of the vast black fog outside Kunlun Mountain and the endless demonic spirits...
After thinking about it all night, she finally mustered up the courage to lift her skirt and came in front of Yu Tianliu again.
"I have a plan that can help Lord Tianliu defeat the rebels and take back Kunlun." Ji Yao said slowly.
"Oh?" Seeing that she was confident, Yu Tianliu couldn't help but become serious.
"This plan is to borrow troops."
"Borrow troops?" Yu Tianliu laughed: "Of course I want to borrow them, but it's not easy. How can I borrow them without a year or so?"
Yu Tianliu was of course anxious.
To attack Kunlun, now is the best time - Kunlun has just gone through a great war, suffered heavy casualties, and was defeated everywhere. It has also just convened a Fairy Alliance Conference, and has consumed a lot of money and treasures. It is now the most empty-handed time.
It’s a pity that I have no soldiers at hand.
After I prepare for a year or so and gather enough troops, I'm afraid Yu Tianji will have almost recovered.
Yu Tianliu was anxious in his heart, but he had to remain calm on the surface and would call his men together to discuss things from time to time.
"That's what I said." Ji Yao smiled sweetly: "Borrow the ghost soldiers!"
"Borrow ghost soldiers?" Yu Tianliu was puzzled: "Where do the ghost soldiers come from?"
Ever since Yu Tianliu clashed with Yu Tianji at the Immortal Alliance Conference, he has been keeping a distance from them, so naturally he has no idea about Kunlun's current situation.
Ji Yao was secretly delighted, and hurriedly explained in detail the scene of the evil spirits surrounding Kunlun.
"Lord Tian Liu has never seen the scene around Kunlun, but I have seen it with my own eyes." Ji Yao said: "The devil souls fill the world. If they can condense into monsters, it will be an incomparably huge military formation!"
"Oh?" Yu Tianliu frowned immediately when he heard her say that, and began to think carefully in his heart.
"I was able to leave Kunlun thanks to the evil spirit." Ji Yao said, "Evil spirits were everywhere around Kunlun. Mu Qingning led people out of the city to investigate the evil spirits. I followed them and luckily escaped during the investigation..."
Yu Tianliu was not careless in his actions. He repeatedly questioned Ji Yao and used various methods before he finally trusted her completely.
Moreover, in recent days, a few cultivators have escaped from Kunlun and defected to Yu Tianliu. What they said is consistent with what Ji Yao said. It is true that demonic spirits are everywhere around Kunlun.
“However, no one in the immortal sect knows about this evil technique of condensing the demon soul into a demon creature.” Yu Tianliu said cautiously.
"So what if the immortal sect monks don't know?" Ji Yao smiled and said, "Don't Lord Tian Liu have followers of the Demon Sect under his command?"
At that time, the Demon Cult launched a massive attack on Kunlun, but was later defeated. Many of the escaped Demon Cult members fell into Yu Tianliu's hands, and some even turned to work for him in order to survive. As long as he ordered them to teach him evil magic, it would be no problem for him to do so.
"Absolutely not!" Ge Huai said in astonishment, "This evil technique of controlling monsters... people like us who practice Taoism cannot touch it!"
"Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details." Other monks also advised: "So-called immortal arts and so-called evil arts are just different names. In order to achieve the right path, it is not wrong to occasionally borrow the evil arts of the demon sect."
Yu Tianliu finally accepted Ji Yao's advice - at the moment, this seems to be the best strategy.
He himself has practiced immortal arts for many years and has profound skills. He only needs to change the way of casting spells to successfully learn the evil arts.
So, there was the scene of gathering the monster.
Yu Tianliu does not trust his subordinates very much, so of course he has to cast spells and control the monsters himself to feel at ease.
"Then... may I ask the Immortal Lord, when will we attack?" Ge Huai said.
"Speed is of the essence in war. It can be done tomorrow." Yu Tianliu said.
Although his sorcery was not yet proficient, he had already mastered the trick. He only needed to practice for one more night before there would be no obstacles.
Unexpectedly, that very night, an uninvited guest came to the tent.
Su Xu.
"Master Su?" Yu Tianliu frowned and looked at Su Xu, who was covered in dust and looked very panic-stricken. "Why are you here?"
"I am naturally here to lend a helping hand to Lord Tianliu." Su Xu said with a smile.
Yu Tianliu frowned, turned around out of habit, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Yao was not there.
When Ji Yao was scolding Yu Tianji, he mentioned Su Xu, saying that it was Su Xu who followed Yu Tianji's orders and framed the Ji family. What's funny is that after the rabbit is dead, the dog is eaten. Su Xu did so many bad things that he ended up being thrown into death cell by the Lord Jijiu.
Fortunately, Ji Yao had returned to his tent early to rest, so he did not run into Su Xu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Isn't Lord Su imprisoned in the death row?" Yu Tianliu asked coldly, "How did you escape to my place again?"
"Tian Liu Jun is indeed omniscient and knows everything." Su Xu flattered, "I was indeed imprisoned in the death row a few days ago, which is why I was in such a desperate situation... Fortunately, I faked my death and escaped..."
"I didn't know that each of you had such great abilities." Yu Tianliu sneered, "One or two of you were able to escape from Kunlun and run to me."
"To be honest, Kunlun is in chaos." Su Xu hurriedly revealed the news he knew: "Tianji Jun's temperament has changed drastically, and he and Lord Jijiu have become enemies. Now, both of them are ignoring government affairs... That's why I was able to take the opportunity to escape."
Yu Tianliu stared at him for a long time with his eagle-like eyes, and asked someone to use magic to test the truth. Finally, he determined that what Su Xu said was all true.
"Even if Master Su did not deceive me, I cannot keep you here." Yu Tianliu sneered, "Everyone knows that Master Su is only good at talking, flattering, and has no real skills. I don't want to keep an idle person here!"
Su Xu was startled and hurriedly expressed his loyalty and discussed military tactics.
He knew that Yu Tianliu was a strict person and not easy to fool, so he had no choice but to reveal the information he had just obtained from Wan Guangliu.
"I am willing to draw up Kunlun's defense deployment for Tian Liujun." Su Xu recalled Wan Guangliu's words: "Also, I have a brilliant plan that will definitely help you attack Kunlun in one fell swoop!"
"What's the plan?"
"Tomorrow when we attack the city, we only need to attack the southeast mountain gate." Su Xu said, "The defense there is weak and it can't withstand a single blow."
It was late at night, and everything was pitch black, with a thick fog that seemed to have no end in sight.
Yu Tianliu stood up and looked out of the account with a frown.
Tomorrow will definitely be a fierce battle, but we have the advantage of time, place and people.
With the monster army in hand, they are invincible; Kunlun is in chaos and powerless to resist; as for the troublesome Lord Jiji, I'm afraid he has already been killed by Yu Tianji.
