"Supreme Treasure, when will your broken peach tree bear peaches? The peaches I bought from the mortal world are really not delicious..."
"Zhizunbao, have you really never been to this small town in Guanzhou? Are you really not a local, why are you not familiar with anything?..."
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Zhizunbao, this Mount Emei is so beautiful. If only we could live here forever..."
"Supreme Treasure..."
Ever since the woman in green had her first interaction with the Supreme Treasure, she would secretly fly down from the sky from time to time when she was alone.
At first, they were just drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion on the top of "Kaishan". The two people who had nothing to do with each other got along extremely harmoniously.
Of course, almost all the women in green were talking non-stop, while Zhizunbao was just watching blankly from the side, interjecting a few words from time to time.
But more often than not, he was still accustomed to being a loyal listener. It seemed that any trivial life of the woman in Tsing Yi seemed so beautiful.
In this way, spring passed and summer came, autumn passed and winter solstice came, and two spring and autumn came again.
With this woman in green clothes, Zhizunbao's practice has also come to a halt. Simply drinking tea and chatting can no longer satisfy the demands of this woman in green clothes.
So, the two of them went down to the top of "Kaishan" and wandered around in the nearest town of Guanzhou.
The woman in Tsing Yi must have never had such an experience before. She seemed to find everything new and strange when she saw it. She kept asking about this and that, and even bought a lot of things that she didn't know what they were used for.
Zhizunbao followed silently behind, acting as a "coolie". He remembered the scene when he had just left Huaguo Mountain and went out to find a teacher.
She was so similar to the woman in green in front of her, but she was even more miserable at that time. She didn't know etiquette, didn't know how to dress properly, and couldn't even use chopsticks when eating.
After wandering around the Nanzhan continent for many years, he slowly learned the basic rules and principles of various human races. Unfortunately, when he arrived at Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, he still looked like a stubborn monkey.
Those years seem to have passed for too long. If it were not for walking around the world with the woman in green, Zhizunbao would not even be able to remember it.
At that time, he didn't have much cultivation. He just relied on the physical talent of the natural stone monkey, which was stronger and more dexterous than him.
However, why is it that now that he has reached the peak of "Daluo Golden Immortal", he no longer has the carefreeness and freedom of the past?
Guanjiangkou is such a big place, and it didn't take them long to find any new place to go.
Ever since, Mount Emei, hundreds of miles away, has become their new destination.
After being in contact for a long time, Zhizunbao finally knew the name of the woman in Tsing Yi - Zixia.
A very common name, referring to a maid who served the Queen Mother. The person who often appeared with her before was actually the most powerful Nine Heavens Xuannv before the Queen Mother.
"Zixia, it's time for us to go back -"
Whenever it gets dark, Fairy Zixia must return to heaven. This is an unbreakable rule.
Although, both of them hate this rule from the bottom of their hearts.
It's a pity that one of them has long been accustomed to this rule, while the other has not thought about whether he should break this rule.
"Zhizunbao, thank you for accompanying me these two years, but tomorrow, I won't be able to come down and play with you..."
On the way back, Fairy Zixia's mood had been a little low. When they were about to separate, Zixia murmured.
"Oh, is your Xuannv sister back again? Then just stay in the sky and come down when you want to play when you are alone."
Zhizunbao didn't seem to feel anything strange about Zixia. Looking at the sun that was about to set, he just felt that the night must be beautiful tonight.
"No, the demons are going to attack Heaven. After tonight, Nantianmen will no longer be allowed to come in and out casually. I'll see you next time...
..I don’t know how long it will take yet. "
In fact, on the way out for fun recently, they also met some people from the demon clan. Sometimes they just couldn't stand it, so the Supreme Treasure just dismissed those people.
Fairy Zixia on the side was stunned.
It stands to reason that she should know the strength of the Supreme Treasure. At least the two of them fly together. No matter how Zixia exerts her strength, the Supreme Treasure can follow behind her calmly.
However, how could such a thin person be able to wipe out more than a dozen "Golden Immortal" level demons in just three strokes and five divided by two?
"How about you stay at Guanjiangkou temporarily?..."
The two became very familiar with each other, and Fairy Zixia once asked Zhizunbao why he could stay so aloof in Erlang Zhenjun's dojo.
You know, in the entire heaven, and even the entire three realms, Erlang Shen Yang Jian is known to be a cold-faced and ruthless person.
The only person who has had a close relationship with him for thousands of years is the third prince of Nezha.
Of course, Yang Jian's reputation as a doting sister and a madman has been widely circulated. After all, Fairy Zixia and the "Three Holy Mothers" are also familiar people.
It’s just this person in front of me, the Supreme Treasure? I have never heard of Fairy Zixia before.
Even in the past two years, she had quietly inquired through people she knew. Unfortunately, no one knew anything about the Supreme Treasure.
"I'm just a friend of Lord Erlang——"
This was Zhizunbao's answer. He didn't want to deceive this little girl, but he couldn't tell the truth.
friend?
A very common, yet extremely precious word.
"It's better not to go back. If I don't go back, the Queen Mother will be unhappy."
When Fairy Zixia heard that the Supreme Treasure was trying to keep her, the little girl's eyes brightened. Unfortunately, she was soon pulled back to reality.
As the head of the female fairies, the Queen Mother naturally has many female officials following her, but there are only a few who are truly valued by the Queen Mother, and Fairy Zixia in front of her is one of them.
Rather than saying that Zixia is the maid of the Queen Mother, it is more appropriate to say that she is the disciple. Before Zixia took her form, she was taken by the Queen Mother.
He even relied on his "quasi-sage" cultivation to personally cover up Zixia's secret, so that ordinary people could not see her demonic nature.
For more than a thousand years, Zixia has always stayed by the Queen Mother's side. Not only did she teach her the skills, but she also gave her two top-quality acquired spiritual treasures.
One is the "silver-locked golden bell" on Zixia's hand, and the other is the "purple green sword" on her waist.
It's a pity that the innocent and romantic little girl doesn't like boring training too much. As of now, she is only in the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian".
"Supreme Treasure, if there is a way for us to meet often, you...are you willing to do it for me?"
Fairy Zixia said goodbye and left. Zhizunbao just looked at it like that. Just when Zixia was about to disappear, she turned around again.
"Tell me, what can I do?..."
Zhizunbao hesitated to speak, and finally asked, even though he knew that in his current situation, he should not be exposed outside at all.
"The demons are going to attack in a big way. I heard from Sister Xuannv that the combat power of Heaven is insufficient and they intend to recruit people with great supernatural powers within the Three Realms. Can you do it?..."
As the sun set, I looked at the figure that was gradually blurring. He was so thin that it seemed as if a gust of night wind could blow him away.
"I......"
Supreme Treasure opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not give a positive answer.
Zixia still left, and returned to the high sky before the last ray of setting sun passed away.
...
"Brother Yao, you are so majestic now. You have swept across the entire northern Xinjiang, and even wiped out the demons in Dunhuang, Tingzhou, Qiuci and other places in one fell swoop. You are truly a great contributor—"
In "Zhenguan City", the two most capable handsome men of the Tang Dynasty finally met.
However, Xu Maogong was dressed in Taoist attire. In front of Li Yaoshi, he directly gave up his position as the commander of the first army and at most returned to his old profession as a military advisor.
"Haha, it all depends on His Majesty's careful planning and the soldiers of the three armies. Otherwise, no matter how powerful a certain family is, they will not be able to wipe out such a large territory in half a year."
Seeing the legendary "Zhenguan City" for the first time, even the well-traveled Pharmacist Li couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.
In terms of area alone, the size of the outer city wall of this "Zhenguan City" even catches up with the two Chang'an cities.
Pharmacist Li used his eyesight enough to vaguely see the protective formations hidden in the city. They were faintly visible and sometimes absent, but they gave people the feeling of being surrounded by giant beasts.
"This is true. If it weren't for your majesty's majesty, how could there be so much help! You can come to help me in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke would like to thank you on behalf of your majesty and on behalf of the billions of people in the Tang Dynasty——"
The lord of "Zhenguan City", the current Liang King Li Ke, was brought out together with Xu Maogong, but Xu Maogong went one step ahead and came to greet Medicine Master Li, whom he had not seen for many years.
Following Li Yaoshi were not only the 30,000 strong troops he brought out of Chang'an City, but also many capable people and strangers who gathered along the way.
Learn the art of culture and martial arts, and bring goods to the emperor's family.
Nowadays, the demon clan is raging throughout the three realms, not only the ordinary people are suffering, but even some small sects and many casual cultivators have also suffered unreasonable disasters.
Of course, there are those extremely vicious and opportunistic people who directly turned to the demons and became the vanguard and executioners of the demons ravaging the three realms.
"Your Majesty, Prince Liang, you are welcome. The Tang Emperor has an old relationship with our Beihai Dragon Palace. It is only natural for Ao to come to help us. If the Tang Dynasty is defeated, how can our Beihai Dragon Palace survive alone?"
Li Ke's words especially mentioned that he was thanking Li Zhi on behalf of the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was speaking as one of the many capable people and strangers.
This person is none other than Ao Ze, the second prince of Beihai Dragon Palace. This time he came south to support the Tang Dynasty, bringing with him two thousand Beihai Hai tribesmen.
Today, the Sihai Dragon Clan's gratitude to Tang Emperor Li Zhi has reached its peak.
You must know that Li Zhi not only married the seventh princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace as his concubine, but Ao Lie, the first dragon clan in thousands of years to break through the "Daluo Golden Immortal", even recognized Tang Emperor Li Zhi as his master.
If these were not enough, when Ao Lie broke the blood curse of the Dragon Clan, which was entirely the result of Tang Emperor Li Zhi's efforts, and was even punished by God for it, the entire Dragon Clan was completely uneasy.
Although not everyone can be promoted to "Daluo Jinxian", the blood curse that has plagued the Dragon Clan for thousands of years has been broken, and there is finally hope for promotion.
Moreover, the living example of Xiao Bailong Ao Lie is here, which is the most convincing.
The demons are raging in the three realms, but due to the special environment of the four seas, their core areas have not yet been affected.
However, everyone understands the truth of dying lips and cold teeth, let alone the Beihai Dragon Palace, which is closely connected to the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as they heard that the demon-suppressing army of the Tang Dynasty had set off from Chang'an City, the Beihai Dragon Palace also took action. Ao Lei and Ao Ze, who were closely related to Li Zhi, wanted to come over, but they were left behind by General Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea.
The fight against the demons was a dangerous one, and Ao Shun only had two dragon princes, so he had to leave one behind for Bei Hai.
Not only did people come from the Beihai Dragon Palace, Ao Ze also spread the news to Beiju Luzhou, and the "Tianlang Mountain" was headed by the wolf master Yu Wenpo, who personally led the four elders including Yu Wen Jue, Yu Wen Gong, and Five Hundred Days. Here comes the wolf warrior.
This force is very powerful. With several "Daluo Golden Immortals" here, plus the two demon generals from the Asura tribe in Li Yaoshi's army, are the demons in northern Xinjiang still enough to wipe out?
"Hahaha, old brother, should I call you Brother Xiahou, or should I call you Lord Yuwen Wolf?"
Seeing the former "Xiahou Swordsman" among the crowd, Yan Chixia also walked out behind Li Ke.
Yan Chixia and this "Xiahou Swordsman" have been friends for many years. The other party has never been able to get any advantage from Yan Chixia.
It's a pity that now it seems that Yan Chixia is left far behind by the other party.
.
No matter how talented Yan Chixia is, she has just broken through to "Golden Immortal". On the other hand, this "Xiahou Swordsman" is a good guy in the middle stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
"Haha, in front of Brother Yan, I will always be your Xiahou Xiandi——"
Yu Wenpo also came over, not because his status had changed, nor because his cultivation level was much higher than that of Yan Chixia. Yu Wenpo was so complacent and arrogant.
Instead, he saluted Yan Chixia as always, as if he was still the good brother he was back then.
"Hahaha, okay, you are indeed my good brother, Yan Chixia. From now on, you and I can fight side by side again——"
Yan Chixia is an impressive person in her own right, not to mention that he is now the helmsman of the "Li Jing Sect" under Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. This style and magnanimity cannot be compared to others.
Everyone gathered in "Zhenguan City" not to celebrate a grand party, but because the demons from the northern border of the Tang Dynasty gathered together and sent a letter of war to Li Yaoshi, the "Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal" of the Tang Dynasty.
In the past six months, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and others from the south swept through Guanzhong, Hedong Road and Henan Road.
Later, they continued to move closer to the east and south, and successively captured Hebei Road and Shannan Road before temporarily stopping.
After all, the number of troops that the Tang Dynasty can mobilize is limited now, and every time a place is recovered, the garrison must be rearranged and local production and life must be restored.
Li Yaoshi's department in the north is even more powerful. With the help of Beihai Dragon Palace and "Tianlang Mountain", he has also gathered many monks in the Tang Dynasty. He, the "Devil-Conquering Grand Marshal", has regained much more territory than Qin Qiong and the others. .
It was precisely because the demons in the south and north had suffered heavy losses that the "Black Robe" Protector, who was in charge of the overall situation of the southern continent, had to gather all the demons in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Rather than being defeated individually, it is better to gather in one place and complete the victory in one battle.
The "black-robed" Great Protector thought so, but he played into the hands of Medicine Master Li.
Therefore, Li Yaoshi, who originally stopped his troops in the Altai Mountains to prepare to advance westward, changed his planned plan and headed east to join Li Ke, Xu Maogong and others in "Zhenguan City".
.......
"Everyone, the human race has a saying that goes, 'People cannot move without a head, and birds cannot fly without a head. We are gathered here to annihilate the demon clan in Nanzhan Continent in one fell swoop."
"Now, those present here include my Beihai Dragon Clan, my friends from the Demon Clan in Tianlang Mountain, friends from all over the Nanzhan Continent, and even the elite divisions of the Tang Dynasty."
"We have a thousand members in our family, but we are in charge of one person. We cannot be scattered. I, the Prince of Beihai, Ao Ze, suggest that we all obey the military orders of Li Yaoshi, the Grand Marshal of the Tang Dynasty. If there is any disobedience, we will be dealt with according to military law——"
The city lord's palace of "Zhenguan City" is also Li Ke's "Prince Liang's Mansion" today. It was full of guests.
Those who can sit in this hall must be at least "Xuanxian" or above. A rough calculation shows that there are more than a hundred people.
Of course, the top combat power is still the Asura demon generals around Li Yaoshi, Rutuoluo and Indra, and then the two elders of "Sirian Wolf Mountain" and the wolf master Yu Wenpo.
These few are all in the middle stage of "Daluo Jinxian" or above, and their combat power is enough to instantly kill everyone else in the hall combined.
"I fully agree with Prince Aoze's proposal. We are here to fight against the demons not only to protect ourselves but also to attach ourselves to the Tang Dynasty from now on."
"The current Tang Emperor is not only the master of the Tang Dynasty, but also the master of Tianlang Mountain! I, Yu Wenpo, have spoken first. If you are sincere in resisting demons, you will naturally welcome him."
"If you have other intentions and do something shameful in private, even if Marshal Li bypasses you, I, Tianlang Mountain, will take your life——"
Good guy, among the strange people sitting in the main hall, "Tianlang Mountain" and "Beihai Dragon Palace" are the largest. Others occasionally have the Taiyi realm, but they are just casual cultivators running a single gang.
These two are the first to speak like this, will anyone else have any objections?
"Agree——"
"We support the commander-in-chief of Marshal Li——"
"If anyone dares to act recklessly, I will be the first to spare him——"
This meal showed determination and took a full quarter of an hour.
There is no way, everyone here is not just a human race.
The Dragon Clan, the Sirius Clan, the Monster Clan, and even a few Witch Clan, of course, like Rutoro and Indra, are actually classified into the Human Clan.
"Hahaha, you are indeed my good friends of the Tang Dynasty, Lord Medicine Master. As everyone is waiting for you, please move and take your seat at the head of the table——"
Li Ke'an was the city lord of "Zhenguan City" and had the identity of Prince Liang. He was also the brother of Tang Emperor Li Zhi, so he naturally sat at the top of the list.
The position in the middle of the hall was deliberately left vacant from the beginning. This was planned in advance by Li Ke, Li Yaoshi and Xu Maogong for this scene.
Although the three of them had already calculated it together, when this scene appeared so smoothly, the three of them couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
Pharmacist Li would not think that he really had such great prestige. Even if his true self in heaven came down, he would not be sure whether he could surrender to these people.
Among those "Daluo Golden Immortal" people, which one is not a rebellious person, just because of the one who took a shortcut to become the "Daluo Golden Immortal"?
These people, whether they are Beihai Dragon Palace or "Sirius Mountain", are all here for the current Tang Emperor. This is because Li Zhi was not present. If Li Zhi could appear here, the scene would probably be even more lively.
"In this case, I would rather obey orders than be respectful——"
Li Yaoshi stood up from his seat, clasped his fists towards the surroundings, and strode to the handsome position in the center.
Su Dingfang and Hou Junji stood behind Li Yaoshi with their swords on the left and right.
"Everyone, here is a letter of challenge from the Demon Clan's Great Protector Black Robe. It is agreed that in three days, we will come to Zhenguan City for a showdown. What do you think of this?"
Sitting on the commander's seat, Li Yaoshi looked around at the hundreds of people in the hall, feeling filled with emotion. This feeling was something he, a man who had led the army in war for decades, had never experienced before.
There are more than a hundred masters of "Xuanxian" and above, as well as the combat power of several "Da Luo Jinxian". Can these people compete with the true master of Heaven?
"Generalissimo, we are all practitioners and know nothing about marching and fighting. If you have any military orders, just give them and we will never refuse."
I don't know who shouted, and many people followed suit.
Such a scenario was also expected by Li Yaoshi and others.
After all, there is a big difference between fighting alone and fighting on a large scale. People who are as powerful as the demons can only rely on brutal methods and fearless raids to destroy many forces in an instant.
If the two sides are equally powerful and have their vehicles, horses and artillery clearly displayed, then it is not certain who will win.
"Okay, in that case, I have given the order."
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Pharmacist Li also stood up from his handsome chair. The old man was really excited.
"Although the demons have stated that they are coming to attack Zhenguan City, we cannot completely defend the city. As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose, not to mention there are millions of humans in this city."
"Zhenguan City" was built not long ago, and it did not originally have such a large population. This time the demons ravaged the northern border, but they "drove" people from many places to "Zhenguan City", a temporarily safe place.
"Therefore, I plan to use Zhenguan City as bait and rely on the protective Five Elements Formation in the city to hold back the main force of the demons."
"And everyone here can be divided into four teams, and they surrounded the demons from the four directions of east, west, south and north."
"The center is blooming and surrounded on all sides. This battle has only one purpose. It may not necessarily annihilate all these demons. In this way, there will be no more demons in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty."
Wreaking havoc——"
"Lord Yuwen Wolf, please lead two elders and the Tianlang Mountain troops to surround the demons from the east. When they attack the city, when they see a huge red light in the city, they will kill them in one fell swoop."
Li Yaoshi picked up the first command arrow. Yu Wenpo, who had never experienced such a scene, stood up quickly and took the command arrow in one hand.
"Yuwen Po received the order——"
"Great Elder Yuwen, you also led an elder to select two hundred people from the strangers who came to support from various places, and surrounded the demons from the west. You also used the red light in the city as a signal."
There is no other way. Three of the "Da Luo Jinxian" present here are concentrated in "Tianlang Mountain". Li Yaoshi must balance his strength, otherwise he will not be able to achieve the goal of annihilating the demon clan.
"I haven't said anything yet, I, Yuwen, will never let go of a demon thief——"
Seeing that all the "Tianlang Mountain" tribesmen accepted the order happily, Medicine Master Li breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his determination. Everything still depends on the business.
"Demon General Rutoro, please cooperate with Prince Beihai Aoze and his subordinates to surround the demons from the south. Be sure not to let anyone go."
Rutuolo was one of his own, and Yaoshi Li had been fighting alongside him for more than half a year, and they had developed a certain friendship.
Therefore, Medicine Master Li did not ask Rutuolo to "lead" the Beihai tribe, but instead used the word "cooperate".
"Marshal Li, fighting on the battlefield is all about fighting power. I, the Beihai tribe, are willing to obey the command of Demon General Lu——"
Li Yaoshi said it euphemistically, but Prince Aoze of Beihai couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. He had just broken through to "Taiyi Xuanxian", so how could he ignore Rutuolo who was in the later stage of "Da Luo Jinxian".
"Haha, no matter how you are dispatched or not, I am killing demons with the same strength, just to serve the Lord."
Give him a peach and repay him with a plum.
Having stayed with Li Zhi and the others for a long time in the past few years, although Rutoluo still has such a straightforward temper, he has not lost any of the careful thoughts he should have.
"Demon General Indra, you and Yan Chixia will lead the three hundred elite members of the Lijing Sect. In addition, ask Su Dingfang and Hou Junji to come and cooperate with you."
"Although there is little chance of the demons escaping to the north, once they leave there, they will probably all be big shots of the demons. You will be under a lot of pressure to wait."
Pharmacist Li picked up the fourth command arrow and handed it to Indra himself.
Over the past six months or so, Indra has left a very deep impression on Medicine Master Li. In his opinion, this person can be regarded as the number one person under the command of the Tang Emperor.
Whether it's his personal combat prowess, his commanding ability, or even his deep thoughts, they are far beyond the reach of others.
If it weren't for Li Yaoshi's unique "God of War" advantage in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the title of "Demon-Conquering Grand Marshal" would be more appropriate for this Demon General Indra.
You must know that when Li Zhi is governed by Medicine Master Li, he is just a monarch and his ministers, but when Li Zhi is governed by Indra, he is a master and a subordinate.
"Don't worry, Marshal Li. There is a certain family here. Even if the black-robed protector comes in person, the certain family will never let him go——"
Indra solemnly took the command arrow from Li Yaoshi. He understood the special nature of the northern encirclement. It was either irrelevant or faced with desperate men.
"Everyone, if you can defeat the demons in the North in one fell swoop, we will do it here. I hope you all can work together and defeat the demons in three days. Li and His Highness Prince Liang are preparing wine here to serve your majesty and the Tang Dynasty. Please give me credit—"
After a unique "Four Orders", everyone left in excitement, except for Li Yaoshi, Li Ke and Xu Maogong.
But no one noticed that a slightly fat old man returned to the camp, changed his clothes, and used the "Earth Escape" technique to sneak out of "Zhenguan City" quietly...
