It's midnight at night.
Chengxi combat headquarters.
Zhong Yan sent a message and asked Ding Shuo and Peng Yuanzhong: "Let me know how powerful these two Taoists are, how many golden elixirs they have?"
Peng Yuanzhong: "I'm the only one! My family didn't get the Flying Star Coral. The only one was exchanged from Yunmeng Exchange at a huge cost. I can only wait for the Shenxiao Sect to start selling Rongling in Anlu City. Dan, it seems like it will have to be at least three or four months before I buy again.”
Ding Shuo: "There are two from my clan. Erfeng shared one and I exchanged one for myself."
Su Yue came over, glanced at the faces of the three of them, and said, "My second junior sister will arrive tomorrow. Minglan has dispatched ten golden elixirs, which is already more than us. We don't know how many will come to Hebo City yet."
Zhong Yan asked: "Can't you invite anyone?"
Su Yue: "Who should I invite? Now we are fighting alone, and others may not come if we spend money!"
After a pause, she changed her voice transmission: "Feifei's formation of pills has been successful. How many flying star corals do you still have? After a trip to Anlu, they have all been changed. Both Xiaoru and Huilan can advance. As long as they have the strength, why? I worry about not having resources in the future.”
The name of 'Xiao Ru' in her mouth is Liu Ru, a registered disciple of Qifeng's generation and the 'maid' who follows Shang Zhuoqing.
Zhong Yan said: "It has been changed."
At this time, a sergeant rushed in.
"Report! The two alliance armies of Wanghai City and Xiya City of Wei State total 750,000, coming eastward!"
Xia Xinzhu: "Let's explore again!"
Everyone looked at the map on the wall.
Zhong Xiaozhong said: "Wanghai and Xiya are still far away. It will take at least more than a month to attack at full speed!"
Qingyang military advisor Lu Ding pondered: "There is no major war in the eastern part of Wei State. Could it be that the alliance army wants to attack Qingyang and enter Yan?"
Zhong Qiyu hesitated a little, looked at everyone, and said: "Father, the Northern Yan Qin rushed south to Bozhou, and the main force was not ready to return to Yan. The original Yan State's various armies, except for the scattered garrison troops and horses, had previously numbered at least two million. The army arrived at the territory via Qingyang or by water."
After the words fell, Jiang Yunruo walked in quickly and said: "Husband, chaos broke out in Anhe City, and thousands of monks from the Qingyu Sect entered the city!"
"Are you coming to my black water?!" Peng Yuanzhong's expression changed, he felt the fluctuation in the storage bag, and hurriedly took out the talisman to receive the news.
Anhe City is a large city adjacent to Blackwater. It originally belonged to the Ming Hao Sect and was guarded by the Anguo Army in charge of the city's main palace.
Zhang Kuishan's eyes flashed and he sent a message to Zhong Yan: "Friend Zhong Dao, perhaps this is the will of the capital. If we take down the Peng family, we can raise an army of 500,000 to fight against Minglan!"
"Noisy!"
Zhong Yan shouted coldly, raised his hand to gather illusory palm prints, and directly smashed Zhang Kuishan's head, causing blood to spray out.
Establishing the foundation of Dzogchen will kill you instantly, and your body and mind will disappear after death.
The sudden move shocked everyone in the hall and could be heard.
Yun Qianxun and Bai Siyuan looked at each other and flew out of the hall one after another, summoning the men to surround and kill the town guard.
Peng Yuanzhong ignored the summons, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at Ding Shuo with a questioning look.
Zhong Yan looked around, pausing for a moment on the faces of Su Yong and He Huan, and said calmly: "Qingyang, Shunyi, Heishui, those who touch the morale of our army will die!"
Peng Yuanzhong immediately understood that it must be Zhang Kuishan who said something to provoke discord. He cupped his hands and said, "What Zhong Daoyou said is that only you and I can work together to gain a foothold in this corner of the world!"
He Huan, the chief retinue of the Keqing Mansion, raised his hands and said: "The situation is chaotic. We are in Qingyang, and we are enemies of all incoming invaders."
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, it's best to understand."
Zhong Yan glanced at him and then said to Peng Yuanzhong: "Heishui should not mobilize troops for the time being. Pay close attention to Anhe City and be careful of any changes."
Peng Yuanzhong nodded.
Half an hour later, Yun Qianxun returned.
The garrison was destroyed, and apart from Zhang Kuishan's family members, only a few dozen guard monks from the Security Department were captured.
the next day.
At Chenshi, Jiang Yunruo received a reply from Yingye, the master of the Palace of Eternal Life: Hold on for a month and I will find a way.
At Youshi, Zhong Qiyu received the news and sent a message: "Father, Qin Ben has traded one city for one city and asked King Kang to send troops to attack Hebo City."
At Haishi, Shang Zhuoqing, the second disciple of Qifeng, arrived, together with Bai Feifei and six female cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.
Although he had seen the portrait, Zhong Yan was still surprised when he met her for the first time. Shang Zhuoqing was quite petite, less than 1.6 meters tall. He looked harmless, and his delicate, palm-sized face gave people a soft and cute impression.
Because of their cultivation, the monks are all taller and the female cultivators are also tall, slim and graceful.
The last person Zhong Yan saw who was so petite was Ye Xu, and Shang Zhuoqing was even more so.
"Brother-in-law Zhong Yan, I finally met him in person. He is really handsome and extraordinary."
Shang Zhuoqing's cherry mouth smiled slightly, her fair and tender face showed no trace of time, and coupled with her height, she really looked like a young girl.
Especially her eyes, which have a light blue luster, are very charming and unique.
Zhong Yan had heard that Shang Zhuoqing came from the 'Qingyi Country' south of You Ye Country, a very small country where tribes lived in groups.
"I have heard about Second Senior Sister for a long time and have been looking forward to it for a long time. I am honored to meet you today. Please give me more advice from Senior Sister in the future."
Shang Zhuoqing waved his hands with a bold look and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk. Let's communicate more in the future."
Su Yue glanced at her, feeling disgusted in her heart. Is this bastard going to have his own evil thoughts again?
As soon as the thought came out, a picture actually appeared in her mind - Zhong Yan holding the second sister's small waist with both hands and raising it in the air...
Su Yue's mind was shaken, her face was unnatural, and she cursed secretly: The little thief is harming me!
"Brother-in-law!" Bai Feifei, who had finished greeting Su Yue, looked up and shouted with a smile, then followed the message: "I miss you so much!"
Zhong Yan smiled and replied: "After the war, I will love you well."
Bai Feifei's face turned red and she turned to greet Yun Qianxun and others.
Su Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
late at night.
"Report! The vanguard of Minglan's bandit army has arrived at Niulan Mountain, and the march has been suspended!"
Everyone's expressions changed.
Military Advisor Lu Ding: "This is to gather all the armies and attack the city again!"
Xia Xinzhu: "Ducheng did not respond."
Zhong Yan frowned and stared at Su Yue: "What do you mean?"
Su Yue's brows were sullen: "How would I know? There are only the Sanhe Sect and the Allied Army left in the Wei State. To the Yan State, how are they any different from the other princes?"
Yan Guo made it clear that he wanted to let people in.
Wei Siyu pulled Zhong Yan's arm: "Maybe it's because of the Yunmeng Secret Realm that the Sanhe Sect wants a share of the pie."
Mad... Zhong Yan cursed secretly.
Now he has a family of two to three hundred people. If Qingyang cannot hold on, he will have no place to run and will be reduced to other people's thugs and cannon fodder.
What's more, after working hard for Qingyang for so many years, how can you be willing to give up?
Yu Qingyao sent a message: "If it doesn't work, retreat to Liusha Island."
"An isolated island is a living target when it is besieged. It will die faster."
In reply, Zhong Yanchao said to the sergeant: "Pay close attention to the movements of the various armies of Wei State."
"The last general takes command!"
The third day.
A female cultivator in black clothes appeared, attracting everyone's attention. No one could see through the realm of cultivation.
"Friend Zhong Dao." The woman held her hands in her hand, expressionless, and said through a voice message: "Just call me Yue Li."
Zhong Yan returned the gift and introduced to everyone: "This is my friend, Taoist Fellow Yueli."
Several Jindan realms greeted each other with their hands flickering, guessing their identities.
Yun Qianxun sent a message with a sour tone: "Where did you find a master?"
Zhong Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and sent a message to Su Yue: "Is there any hidden female golden elixir cultivator from the older generation in Yan State?"
Su Yue was secretly suspicious and replied: "You didn't know who you invited? There is one from the Chiyang Sect. His body shape is not the same. Moreover, Senior Li of the Chiyang Sect was seriously injured and has not made any progress after the first level of the golden elixir."
Zhong Yan knew that this person's name was Li Yan, the second elder of the Chiyang Sect, and he was not considered hidden. "No more?"
Su Yue thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, there are no more golden elixirs in the Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years. Oh, Xuanyin Sect once produced one, but it fell away a hundred years ago."
Zhong Yan asked again: "Have any of the newly promoted golden elixirs reached the middle stage?"
Su Yue said: "It's not that fast. Cultivating the golden elixir requires a huge amount of resources. Even tens of millions of spirit stones may not be able to advance to the first level. Just refining the resources will take a lot of time."
Zhong Yan nodded, it must be from another country, and secretly sighed that the Palace of Eternal Life was indeed mysterious and powerful.
He looked at the woman in black, greeted her, then walked to the corner to sit cross-legged and meditate, as if no strangers were allowed in.
The fourth day.
Qingyang City gathered 880,000 troops.
Top ten golden elixir warriors:
Palace of Eternal Life: Yueli
Seven Peaks: Su Yue, Shang Zhuoqing, Bai Feifei
Zhong family: Wei Siyu, Yun Qianxun, Zhou Yun
Ding family: Ding Shuo, Ding Zhuang
Peng family: Peng Yuanzhong
There are more than 3,200 people in the foundation building stage, and more than 9,200 people in the fifth level and above in the Qi refining stage (including some Shunyi and Heishui reinforcements).
Like a long dragon, a hundred thousand troops lined up outside the city wall.
Stand ready.
"Report!"
"Minglan and the Hebo bandit army met at Niulan Mountain. More than a million people, together with more than 20,000 monks, rushed to attack!"
"The troops will arrive at the city soon!"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if this was good news. The enemy had not waited for all the troops to gather.
Zhou Yunfei landed on the city wall: "Brother, the two armies have converged, and there are a total of sixteen Jindan in the open!"
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then summoned Wei Siyu: "Ask Zi Yi to take the children to Liusha Island and give Liu Ru and Cymbidium the elixir."
Say it.
He stood high in the sky, cast spells and condensed his voice, and his voice spread to all directions.
"Whenever war occurs, there is no way to avoid it."
"Minglan's bandit army wants to trample our homeland."
"In order to secure a stable life, what should you do?"
Inside and outside the city, thousands of troops raised their swords high and their fighting spirit soared into the sky.
"Swear to defend Qingyang to the death!"
"Swear to defend Qingyang to the death!"
"Swear to defend Qingyang to the death!"
After three blasts, Zhong Yan shouted: "At present, we are facing a formidable enemy. A passionate man should protect his family and country and make contributions!"
"After this battle, all of you are from Qingyang! I, Zhong Yan, am with you!"
"Listen to the order and kill one of the generals to obtain ten thousand prayer beads!"
"Kill an enemy with three bottles of prayer beads, based on head count, no upper limit!"
Another burst of mountain roar and tsunami.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the panel. The number of [vassals] kept jumping. It exceeded 100,000 and was still rising.
It's just a million-strong army, attacking the city by force, a wishful thinking!
By the time Wanghai and Xiya troops arrived, the first battle was almost over.
…
The seventh day.
Woohoo~
War horns sounded throughout the city.
Black clouds were looming over the sky, and the air was filled with chills.
The black army that could not be seen with the naked eye moved in a square shape.
Bang, bang, bang... With every step, the world seemed to be shaking.
Ten flying boats lay high in the sky in front of the left, with birds circling and whistling.
"drink!"
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and Minglan's army stopped five hundred meters outside the city.
…
