The city of Changyi was destroyed.
The city of Surabaya was destroyed.
Guangling city was destroyed.
Dongyang city was destroyed.
…
In just half a month, twenty-eight cities, large and small, in the Yan Kingdom were captured and changed hands.
The three leading princes first appeared——
The emperor of Yan State supported by Huoyun Sect was called the Zhenguo Army.
Prince Heng (eighth prince) supported by the Chiyang Sect was called the New Yan Army.
The King Yue (the fourth prince) supported by the Haoming Sect (formerly the Law Enforcement Hall faction of the Huoyun Sect) was called the Anguo Army.
Qingyang City, Cangbao Street, Zhongfu.
"Report! Report to the family leader that Yinfeng City was captured and controlled by the Ba Yuan Sect!"
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the map on the wall, his eyes flickering.
It was so fast and completely unexpected.
Yinfeng City, one of the nine giant cities in the Yan Kingdom, with many and powerful immortal cultivating forces within it, was captured just like this.
It can be called the power of thunder.
It is not difficult to speculate that it must be the result of the internal cooperation and the reorganization of the forces of all parties.
Yu Qingyao stared at the map and said: "The central, southern, southeast...most areas have started fighting. At this rate, it will almost take less than half a year to separate the main armies of the princes!"
Zhong Yan frowned and said: "It's a bit chaotic. Many big families have not moved and only occupy one or two cities. If we really want to decide whether one family will dominate, who will obey whom? It's not so fast. When will Su Yue arrive?"
Yuan Ziyi: "For the past two days, I couldn't take the teleportation array, so it took some time."
Wen Hongfei entered the main hall: "Husband! Thousands of monks gathered at the east gate and asked to enter the city!"
"Where did it come from?"
"It seems to be Baiyan City."
"Go and see!"
Zhong Yan jumped up and flew out.
Not long after, he landed on the east gate city wall, and the entire city wall was shrouded in a looming formation.
Many greetings sounded one after another, coming from many monks and warrior generals stationed here.
After hearing the news, many monks from the city gathered under the city gate.
Zhong Yan swept away with his spiritual consciousness and saw a large group of people entrenched a hundred meters away from the city gate. They were in different levels, ranging from the late stage of foundation building to the early stage of Qi refining, most of which were in the Qi refining stage.
A black-clothed monk stood high in the sky, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Friend Zhong Dao, you are well and well!"
But it was Ma Zhida, whom he had not seen for many years, who was appointed as the retinue mage of the Keqing Mansion in Baiyan City. Currently, Baiyan City was being stared at by the Baiye City army, and he was obviously fleeing to avoid fighting.
Zhong Yan took a step forward and returned the greeting with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Ma! Long time no see. Fellow Taoist has made rapid progress."
"Not one-tenth as good as Taoist brother."
Ma Zhida, who was on the fourth floor of the foundation building, smiled bitterly, paused and continued: "Dare you ask me, brother, Qingyang City is now closed to monks?"
Another old man in gray shirt who built the eighth floor of the foundation rose into the air, cupped his hands and said: "I hope that Friend Zhong will do it for your convenience and allow us to enter the city. We must abide by the rules of the city."
At this time.
A black spot appeared in the sky, moving from far to near, revealing the shape of a flying boat. In the blink of an eye, it came closer and lay horizontally in the air.
But it was the Qifeng disciples headed by Su Yue. There were hundreds of female cultivators, all dressed in uniform sky-blue dresses.
Zhong Yan curled his lips. Su Yue had indeed hidden a lot of strength. More than half of the people on the flying boat were in the foundation building realm, and there were about twenty in the late stage of foundation building.
And, that's not all.
Because Su Yue was the only one in the Golden Core realm, the second oldest one, Shang Zhuoqing, was not here, and Bai Feifei was not among them.
Zhong Yan glanced around, cast a spell to condense the sound, and the sound spread to all directions.
"From now on, all monks who enter Qingyang City will register and leave their seals. They will be ready for war and obey orders at any time. If you don't obey, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"You are free to leave the city within three days! Those who stay in the city are regarded as subordinates, and Paul and others will have a safe place to live."
"Open the city gate!"
After the words fell, there was a lot of discussion.
Su Yong put away the flying boat, landed at the city gate, registered the brand, and led many disciples into the city.
More than a thousand monks from Baiyan City hesitated, and after a noisy discussion, they divided into two groups, some flocked to the city gate, and some stayed away.
The news quickly spread throughout the city, and many monks in the city chose to leave. They did not want to follow the orders and participate in the war and avoided the war.
Zhong Yan watched for a quarter of an hour, told him to keep the formation, and led several people including Su Yue to fly towards Cangbao Street.
The other Qifeng disciples were taken to the North District and West District by Yang Xinnian and had already arrived at the mansion.
Zhongfu, the main hall of the first courtyard.
Su Yue elaborated on many important news.
"The Yunmeng secret realm is temporarily blocked by the formation, and only Shenxiao Sect disciples can enter and exit..."
The Shenxiao Sect invited senior experts to drive them away with great supernatural powers. Most of the monks in the Yan Kingdom came out, but there were also a few who hid inside to avoid the disaster of war.
"A conservative estimate is that there are currently more than 300 people in the Jindan realm in the Yan Kingdom. Except for the Shenxiao Sect, the highest is the fifth level of the Jindan..."
Yu Qingyao was surprised: "So many?"
Zhong Yan knew well that the Secret Medicine Garden produced more than 3,000 'Flying Corals', and the Yan Kingdom would get 30% of them. If they were all replaced, they would get nearly a thousand fusion elixirs.
However, many of the monks in the Yan Kingdom who are stagnant in the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment are gifted with excellent true spiritual roots. All they need for promotion is a spirit-melting pill. With the conditions, it is inevitable to create a large number of golden pill realms.
Su Yue said: "There will be more in the near future. The Shenxiao Sect divided Anlu City into branches, built an exchange, and prepared to transfer the Lingling Pills from the sect for sale.
There are four grades, from No Dao Pattern to Three Dao Patterns, priced at 300,000, 500,000, 1 million and 3 million low-grade spiritual stones respectively. "
Wei Siyu: "Unless the foundation is solid enough, ordinary monks cannot increase the chance of forming pills much by using Wu Dao Pattern and Yi Yi Pattern."
Yun Qianxun: "Then I don't have to worry about no one buying it. There are only a handful of alchemists in Yan State who can refine the spirit-melting elixir, and they don't have the materials yet."
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed and he asked: "How many people from the Shenxiao Sect have stayed, and what are their cultivation levels?"
The corners of Yu Qingyao's lips twitched slightly. It sounded like her husband wanted to start a side job!
Su Yue took a look and said, "Not many, maybe two or three hundred. There is a Jindan Dzogchen guarding it. Senior Yuanying has gone back. War has broken out in many places in Chu State. How can Shenxiao Sect have so much energy to take care of a few small countries?" , this war has exceeded expectations and spread to the entire continent, and the Shenxiao Sect has also become an insider."
Gu Dongdong asked: "Master, why are we fighting? Isn't it good for everyone to practice peacefully?"
"It's all driven by profit."
After a simple response, Su Yong continued: "Shenxiao Sect does not interfere in civil wars and conquests in various countries. It only arranges some disciples to join different forces to participate in the war on the grounds of experience. It is for supervision. The only requirement is to pay enough taxes and tribute every year. …”
Zhong Yan said: "For the Shenxiao Sect, it doesn't matter whether the vassal country fights or not, but for the Yan State, they should be looking forward to this war."
In the area south of the Wei River, Yan State, Wei State, Chen State, You Ye... are all vassals of Shenxiao Sect.
Although the overall strength of Yan State is good, it is far behind the leading countries. In the final analysis, it has too few resources.
For example, You Ye State's land area is less than half of Yan State, but its strength is the strongest in the region.
When there were only four golden elixirs in the Yan Kingdom, there were more than twenty in the Youye Kingdom, just because there was a small secret realm within its territory a hundred years ago that was rich in flying star corals.
With the emergence of a new resource based on population, the rosary beads, the powerful You Ye State will continue to be content with being in a small area. In addition, coupled with the civil war in Wei, war is inevitable.
Only by expanding and surviving, and sharing more resources and benefits, can the Yan Kingdom elevate the development of the spiritual world to a new level.
Su Yue sighed: "Yes, Yan needs this war."
Zhong Yan asked: "So, the countries have agreed to have a civil war first and then decide the outcome?"
Su Yue nodded.
Zhong Yan sneered in his heart, they are all chess pieces on the chessboard, who will be able to control them when the time comes?
An hour later.
Zhong Yan sent Su Yue out of the house and asked through a message: "Senior Sister, is there anything else you want to say?"
Su Yue looked at each other for a while and then said: "You can treat the countries as one country, one family has the final say, and the rest are all princes, and the levels decrease."
Zhong Yan understood that this was to unify the countries, and the benefits of the prayer beads were too great.
He couldn't help but wonder, who created the prayer beads?
Perhaps, this is the real culprit.
Su Yue added: "Before coming, all parties set a tone at the negotiating table to end the civil war within ten years."
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and nodded, ten years is easier said than done.
…
Wei State, Jizhou.
Ruyang City, the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion.
Qin Bengao sat at the head, and the main generals and counselors gathered in the hall.
Zhang Shun: "My lord, the main battlefield is within the territory of Yan State. The princes of Wei State are scattered. Our army should go south with heavy troops to attack Bozhou in one fell swoop and eliminate the main force of the anti-king 'Yan Qi'. At that time, all parties will surely respond and establish the foundation of the country!" "
Li Shangwen: "Rebel against the king? Nowadays, except for the royal family and the national army, who is not an anti-king rebel?"
Zhang Shun: "The King of Qi is a traitor by vassaling the clan of Wei State. We, the Yan Dynasty, uphold the national aspirations and are the orthodox Yan Dynasty. It is a just act to eliminate the rebels!"
"Short-sighted!"
Li Shangwen sneered, clasped his fists and said, "Lord! At this moment, we should move eastward and return to attack the country. The Yan Kingdom is the foundation of the country! Without the support of the cultivating forces, no matter how much territory the Wei Kingdom has, it will be nothing more than a passing cloud!"
Zhang Shun snorted: "This war is not a conflict between one or two countries, but a trend across the entire continent. As long as we are strong enough, in any country, there will be more immortal forces taking the initiative to help and support you! My lord, it is wise to go south. !”
Li Shangwen sneered: "Commander Zhang is far-sighted. Who knows how long he can persist without strong support? What's the future?"
The two argued endlessly, and for the first time the left and right military advisors had different opinions.
a long time.
Qin Ben waved his hand: "Both military advisors are right, each has their own pros and cons. I have an idea and go south to capture Bozhou!"
"In addition, the army of 200,000 people will be mobilized, and they will go around Tangshan to borrow Dao Xingcheng, go straight to Qingyang City, and station themselves at the Yanwei Pass."
"What do you think, Master Li?"
Li Shangwen was silent and saluted: "My lord is wise!"
In fact, he agreed with Zhang Shun's point of view.
It's just that Qingyang is located at the intersection of the two countries, so war is bound to break out, but there are too few troops to hold it.
Qin Ben said loudly: "Ask the mage!"
