Light snow fell from the sky, softly covering the bright red mountain forests, covering up the bloody wars that had occurred here.
The five legions briefly stationed and rested on the Xue Ling Mountain. Tents sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The soldiers came and went, showing the joy of victory.
The battle to annihilate the Xue Ling Sect was the easiest battle the five legions had ever fought. Almost no one was injured, but the gains were huge, and the Xue Ling Sect's warehouses were emptied out.
The generals of each legion were extremely busy, holding meetings until late at night, listening to Liang Zhi's instructions on the subsequent march route, and discussing the distribution of spoils and the treatment of prisoners.
Everyone has their own thing to do, and Ling Xiao is no exception.
He took out four pills and stuffed them into the mouths of Shen Meng and others.
They were paralyzed on the ground as if they were exhausted. Their distracted eyes finally regained some focus, but their bodies were still shaking uncontrollably. They helped each other to get up.
Ling Xiao seemed not to be satisfied yet, and asked with a hint of teasing: "How does it feel to fight for the first time?"
The target of this battle was the foundation-building monks of the Xue Ling Sect. Shen Meng and others were not able to cultivate enough, so naturally they had no chance to take action. However, just watching this battle from the sidelines really scared their souls out of their minds. They were vomited right from the start of the fight. By the end, I was vomiting until I lost all my strength, and even my stomach acid was gone.
Shen Meng's face was pale and she was wearing a mink fur cloak, but she still felt the endless coldness. She said in a trembling voice: "You...I..." She didn't know what to say, only to realize that she had nothing to say.
Before coming here, she boasted that she had rich fighting experience and had fought in every street and alley in the imperial city. What scenes had she not seen before? But it wasn't until just now that she discovered that there was a scene she had never seen before.
It turns out that hundreds of people can die in an instant.
It turns out that blood can spurt out dozens of meters like a fountain.
It turns out that having all the bones broken is so hideous and funny...
The scenes that were like hell made her instantly realize that her so-called fighting in the past was as childish and ridiculous as a child playing house!
It turns out that this is the life of a monk, this is the real war!
"If you want to go back, I can send someone to take you back."
Ling Xiao had no time to comfort the frightened princess. After leaving these words, he returned to the Paradise of Cave Heaven.
Field edge, small melon.
She was wiping the sword in her hand, her expression slightly dazed, as if she was thinking about something.
In this battle, she personally beheaded the current head of the Xue Ling Sect, a strong man in the late stage of foundation building, who had first tested his swordsmanship skills and had an impressive record.
Ling Xiao did not disturb her meditation, but took out a magic basin and began to make her own soul essence.
The soul essence he made before increased the intensity of his spiritual consciousness by nearly 20%. Now that he had obtained two more pills, he naturally had to make use of them as soon as possible.
"If you swallow these two more, you should reach the top."
he murmured.
There is also a limit to self-made soul essence, and it is impossible to improve it without limit.
But a 20% improvement is extremely precious to Ling Xiao. His current spiritual consciousness intensity far exceeds that of ordinary middle-stage golden elixirs, and the accuracy of his spiritual consciousness is beyond imagination.
This can also be seen from his increasingly powerful Ten Thousand Leaves Formation.
Half a day later.
After Ling Xiao absorbed the soul essence of the two groups, a pair of tender eyes appeared in front of him.
"I also want!"
She coquettishly took Ling Xiao's hand and said, "My technique also requires spiritual consciousness!"
Ling Xiao was overjoyed and laughed: "That's just right!"
He took out the talisman and stuffed it into her hand.
"Let's make talismans together!"
…
Ling Xiao came out of Dongtian Paradise and happened to catch up with Liang Zhi stepping into the main tent.
"Sir, everything is ready and you can continue setting off."
Three days have passed.
They have completely conquered the surrounding towns headed by Xue Ling City, and have waited for the reserve army to come to take over the place. It is time to continue marching.
"Then let's go."
Ling Xiao walked out of the tent and called out the small sampan, and Shen Meng and others immediately jumped on it.
After three days of buffering, Shen Meng regained some vitality. To Ling Xiao's surprise, she did not ask to return to the Dragon Star Dynasty, but decided to continue to follow the army.
This time, the princess seemed to really want to experience it.
"When we go back after our training, I wonder if the brotherhood in the west of the city still dares to mess with us!"
"That's right, we'll clean up the Brotherhood when we get back!"
"That territory will be ours sooner or later!"
Xiaoyu and others are also cheering each other on, thinking about the day when they will dominate the imperial city.
Ling Xiao was speechless.
Can you have some success?
You have already experienced it on the battlefield, why do you have to fight fiercely with street gangsters when you go back?
"Where's Sister Xiaogua?" Shen Meng suddenly let out a light sigh and asked.
"Oh, she is busy practicing." Ling Xiao said.
Cultivation of spiritual consciousness.
The improvement of spiritual consciousness by making talismans is a steady process. Xiaogua has been working hard to make talismans these days, and he has become the "little fool" who is laughed at by the spiritual grass people every day.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao and Qingluanshu were by her side and could answer any questions she had at any time, so her learning progress was pretty good and she had already drawn several first-level intermediate talismans.
Just as the army moved, a ray of light suddenly flew from behind and came to Ling Xiao. He saluted and said, "Sir, the night watchmen have arrived in Xue Ling City. They heard that you are here and they wanted to come and pay homage, saying that they are your old friends."
"who?"
"She said her name was Ping'er."
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Bring them here."
He had taught Ping'er for a few days in Emperor Fuyan's capital, and this girl had become quite close to him, so it wouldn't hurt to meet her, as she could push out the issue of tracking down the remnants of the Red Sect.
Within a moment, Ping'er and others came with swords.
Seeing the five legions waiting in full formation, Ping'er's pretty face turned pale, and her expression could not hide her surprise.
When she heard just now that the person in charge of this area was "Governor Ling Xiao", she couldn't believe her ears. But now that she saw Ling Xiao leading his army here with her own eyes, she had to believe it.
When they met by chance on the island, Ling Xiao was ruthless and almost beat the old man in coir raincoat to death in public. This incident caused an uproar within the night watchmen. To this day, some people are still looking for Ling Xiao everywhere in an attempt to regain his place.
What should those people think if they knew that Ling Xiao was already a second-rank official of the Dragon Star Dynasty?
Ping'er was in a daze for a moment, lowered her head and flew to the small sampan, saying respectfully: "Uncle, long time no see..."
Ling Xiao waved her hand to interrupt her idea of introducing both parties, glanced at her, and asked lightly: "These are the only people you have?"
Ping'er nodded.
The Night Watchmen settled in Yutao this time, just like when they settled in Fuyan State. In order to avoid the suspicion of the Dragon Star Dynasty, they could not send too many people. They could only establish some long-term development branches to open up the trade routes in Yutao State in the future.
Ling Xiao said: "Then you send an order back and temporarily send some more people over. There are many red-clothed believers hiding in Yutao Prefecture. Go and dig them out."
As soon as these words came out, Ping'er and others were stunned.
