Just when the rulers of the four countries in Shangyuan City realized the seriousness of the possibility that the Heavenly Court army might cross the Nieshui River from Shangfeng and enter the heartland of Lingqi Dao Kingdom, the ruler of Lingqi Dao Kingdom, Daozun Si Tuan, immediately summoned a senior minister of Lingqi Dao Kingdom and gave him an imperial edict, ordering him to immediately go to the capital Zixi City to report to the prince to mobilize troops to fight.
The Shangqing took the imperial edict, bowed and left. Afterwards, Taoist Master Si Tuan summoned more than a dozen Shaoqing and issued the same imperial edict to them, ordering them to immediately go to the cities and passes of various states in Lingqi Dao Kingdom to report the news, ordering them to guard against the enemy with all their might. If they found any trace of the enemy, they must report it immediately and organize a defense.
As the young ministers took orders and left, Daoist Master Si Tuan showed no sign of being relieved. Instead, he was visibly nervous.
The other three Dao Masters also noticed Dao Master Si Tuan's worry. They exchanged glances, but Dao Master Taixu said, "Dao Master Si Tuan, I'm afraid it won't work if we send a Shaoqing alone to deliver the message."
Hearing this, Daoist Master Si Tuan immediately looked towards Daoist Master Taixu: "Daoist Master Taixu, what do you mean?"
Taoist Taixu said, "Since Fang Jian stayed here, it means that the one who crossed the river must be the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Since the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady crossed the river from Shangfeng, where is her most likely target?"
"Qingluo City," Daoist Master Si Tuan said, "If they cross the Nieshui River from Shangfeng and enter the heart of our country, then the first city they will arrive at will be Qingluo City."
Daoist Master Taixu said, "Since that's the case, then Daoist friend, please go to Qingluo City immediately to take charge."
Hearing this, Daoist Master Si Tuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then this Shangyuan City..."
Daoist Taihua said, "We are here in Shangyuan City. Daoist Si Tuan, you don't have to worry. Even if the traitor Taiyuan comes with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he won't be able to defeat the 200,000-strong army in Shangyuan City."
Daoist Master Si Tuan nodded, then bowed to the three kings and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be in your service here, Daoist Masters."
The three kings said one after another, "We are allies. Daoist Master Si Tuan, there is no need to be so formal. Let's go to Qingluo City quickly. I hope it's not too late."
Taoist Master Si Tuan nodded slightly, then bid farewell to the three kings, turned around and turned into a green light and disappeared into the hall.
However, less than an incense stick of time had passed since Daoist Master Si Tuan left when a high-ranking official from the Lingqi Dao Kingdom rushed into the hall with a panicked look on his face, saying anxiously, "Your Majesty, Qing..."
But when he looked up, he found that his king was not in the hall. There were only three kings in the hall: Taixu, Yaocheng and Taihua.
Seeing the panicked, stunned, and stunned reaction of the High Lord, the Three Kingdoms rulers had a bad feeling in their hearts. Daoist Master Taihua said, "Daoist Master Si Tuan just left. What's the matter?"
The High Lord quickly reacted and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, two days ago, a celestial army raided Qingluo City. Just now, a High Lord who escaped from Qingluo City came to report that the city had fallen."
After saying this, the Shang Qing hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, three Dao masters, where has my ruler gone?"
The three kings were stunned for a moment. They were just guessing that the Queen Mother of the West would raid Qingluo City, but they didn't expect that the report of the fall of Qingluo City would arrive so soon.
At this time, Daoist Master Taixu said, "Daoist Master Si Tuan is going to Qingluo City."
"Ah?!" The senior minister was stunned, then reacted and said immediately, "The king went to Qingluo City?"
Daoist Master Taixu said, "Your ruler has already gone to Qingluo City, so you don't have to worry. Go and lead the army. This is the most critical moment, and the defense of Shangyuan City must not be compromised."
Upon hearing this, the Lingqi Dao State's High Minister immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your orders."
Lingqi Dao Kingdom, Qingluo City.
Qingluo City is the capital of Fenglingzhou and the most prosperous city in the eastern part of Lingqi Daoguo.
Although the heavenly army had entered the city for two days, Qingluo City was still in chaos at this moment. The main reason was that the nobles in the city were still resisting, so there were battles everywhere. More than 200,000 people in the city were desperately fleeing outside the city, but the heavenly soldiers did not chase after the common people of Lingqi Dao Kingdom who had escaped from the city.
"Let them run, don't chase them." The Queen Mother of the West ordered Yan'an and Zhu Yun.
"We will obey the order of the law." The two men bowed.
But as for the nobles of Lingqi Dao State in Qingluo City, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was not polite. "Carry out a thorough search and arrest all the nobles of Lingqi Dao State in Qingluo City."
Two thousand celestial generals, armed with precious guns, used the power of 'Patrol the Sky' to fly up and down in Qingluo City, searching for and capturing Qinggui.
The nobles also organized their family soldiers to fight back, but unfortunately, their resistance was meaningless in front of the heavenly generals' precious guns and the three great powers of "Power of Mysterious Qi", "Boundless Dharma Sea" and "Patroness of the Sky".
Luo Xiuling, the Prime Minister of Lingqi Dao State, the Prime Minister of Fengling Prefecture, and also the Lord of Qingluo City, was fleeing in panic in the chaos.
The 5,000 city-defending troops under her command had been defeated. More than half of them were killed by three volleys of muskets and one charge from 500 heavenly soldiers, and the remaining small half collapsed directly.
"Shang Qing, Shang Qing!" Just as Luo Xiuling was in panic, a Shao Qing rushed to her and said, "Quick, change your jade robe and remove the seal on your waist!"
When Luo Xiuling heard this, she suddenly reacted. She immediately took off the seal of the Shangqing and threw it into the flowers beside her. Then she changed her jade robe with a brocade robe.
"Come on, Shangqing, let's go out of the city through the north gate." The Shaoqing said as he led the way.
Luo Xiuling nodded, then followed the young official closely as he ran towards the north gate. Her children were now separated, but Luo Xiuling could no longer care about so much. In this dangerous situation, the most important thing was to escape first.
