Not only Qingyang was attacked by troops, but also the cities of the Zhou family.
Heishui and Shunyi were unable to come to their aid and had to face the eager gaze of the Sanhe Sect and the 'Dual Alliance'.
Bai Feifei glanced outside the city and said, "You only have so few troops, and you still want to attack the city?"
Not to mention the army of 100,000 mortals, but in terms of the combat power of the monks, there are only a few more golden elixir warriors than Qingyang. Facing the fourth-level defensive formation, as long as they don't leave the city to fight, the opponent will not be able to break the city at all.
Su Yue said: "Either it's just the vanguard, or there's someone hiding in the spirit beast bag."
Wei Siyu: "That doesn't hide much."
Shang Zhuoqing: "In the Hidden Gold Elixir Realm, mortal soldiers and horses are just decorations. The Xiahou family has many positions, and it is not possible to dispatch a large number of troops to cross the Zhou family's sphere of influence for the time being. They probably want to use the monks' fighting power to make us submit, etc. We’ll find out later.”
Su Yue: "Where is Zhong Yan?"
Yun Qianxun: "Retreat, come out soon."
Wen Hong stepped forward quickly and said: "The Sanhe Sect and the Ba Yuan Sect have indeed moved, and they are marching towards Heishui and Shunyi respectively, taking advantage of the situation to rob them!"
As expected, everyone looked normal.
Wei Siyu asked: "What did you say?"
Wen Hong said carefully: "Shunyi plans to hold on and has asked for help from the capital, but has not received a clear response yet. However, the Fire Cloud Sect will not give up on Shunyi. The nine golden elixirs of the Ding family are all beast control masters, and Shunyi It has important strategic significance in the northwest..."
Although Shunyi formed an alliance with Qingyang and Heishui, it left a way out. The only time he did not listen was when the capital ordered to attack Heishui. At other times, the Ding family sent monks to help the Fire Cloud Sect. Attack other forces.
Wen Hong: "The Peng family hasn't made up their minds yet, but there are only four golden elixirs in the entire Blackwater City. It's impossible to hold on. We should retreat to Qingyang."
The words fell.
There were sounds from outside the city.
"Where is Zhong Yan?"
"You can't get the elixir, so you hide behind women and act like a coward?"
"The king of soft rice is well deserved!"
"Hahaha~"
In his early years, Zhong Yan stood up for Ye Xiu and Feng Bu, and became famous in one battle. Later, he was challenged by many talented people. He said that he would stay in seclusion and form elixirs instead of fighting, but he was still unable to complete the elixirs. The news spread, making him a laughing stock in the cultivation world.
"Senior Su, junior Xia Houdeng, I have admired my senior for a long time. Why don't you open the door and surrender, and bring your sisters to join us? Don't worry, we will sweep the bed for sex and take good care of you beauties! Haha~"
"Beautiful Qianxun, you're all right. I'm curious. Among Tang Sanyuan, Quan Boguang and Zhong Yan, who is better in bed? I think it's the evil cultivator Quan Boguang, right?"
"Zhong Yan definitely can't do it. How can foundation building satisfy the golden elixir young woman?"
"Hahaha~"
"Is Zhong Xi here? I heard that Zhong Xi is as beautiful as a fairy, unparalleled in the world. Why don't you come out and let us see her true face?"
"If it's true as the rumors say, it doesn't matter if you have little qualifications. You can avoid the difficulty of taking her as a concubine and call Zhong Yan uncle!"
"..."
Many monks continued to cast spells and condensate their voices to make teasing shouts and conduct verbal and psychological attacks, which attracted bursts of laughter.
Yun Qianxun had a smile on his face and was not affected at all.
Shang Zhuoqing's eyes flickered and he said, "Why does it feel like a bluff?"
Qingyang was in a dilemma.
The invading army may be a vanguard army. These strengths can only be seen openly. One is to contain Qingyang and prevent Qingyang from rushing to the Zhou family's city, and to wait for the follow-up troops. If so, Qingyang is fully capable of swallowing up these troops.
But the other party may also be trying to spread suspicion and secretly hide more powerful golden elixirs to lure the Qingyang monks out of the city. Once the golden elixir is damaged, it may be difficult to hold on to it.
Su Yue pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Wait! There is a large formation, so we can hold it for a while. If the situation is unfavorable, it is not too late to make a choice and call for help."
Although the Xiahou family is powerful, there are many battlefields. If they disperse their troops to Qingyang, they will definitely be targeted by other princes' forces elsewhere, and they may take the initiative to withdraw their troops at any time.
There was a lot of shouting outside.
A purple-robed golden elixir cultivator threw something away and shot towards him.
Su Yue reached out and grabbed the golden cloth and unfolded it - the surrender letter.
The purple-robed golden elixir monk shouted: "Three days to consider! If you don't surrender, attack the city immediately!"
Everyone glanced at the cloth, and Yun Qianxun laughed angrily: "What a big statement! Ninety percent of the tax and tribute is not even as good as the fourth-class princes. What do you think of me, Qingyang?"
The so-called tax tribute is 90% because Qingyang has surrendered to the Xiahou family. The income tax collected within the jurisdiction is 90% as tribute. However, Qingyang does not have the final say on the amount of tax. It is determined by population statistics. With such heavy taxes, Qingyang City will definitely be in the future. The water is deep and the fire is hot, so there are no conditions for practice.
The war between the various forces is to fight for the strength of the weak. Who sets the rules, who has the final say, and who takes the lion's share. Those forces that surrender and rely on can only let it go and survive.
But generally speaking, for cities with acceptable strength, they will offer good conditions.
Shang Zhuoqing snorted: "You are just trying to deceive us! Sister, send troops out of the city to try!"
Zhao Kun from the Keqing Mansion said: "If they want what we think, wouldn't they fall into the trap?"
At this time, there was another shouting and fighting outside.
A blue-shirted golden elixir monk soared into the sky.
"The fairies of Qifeng are not only beautiful in appearance, but also superb in listening to Taoism. Who will come out to fight?"
Yun Qianxun was about to step out, but Su Yong stopped him: "Don't act rashly!"
at the same time.
Blackwater City, the land of the Peng family.
Peng Wanli, Peng Yuanzhong, Peng Yuanqing, and Wang Baoshan, the four golden elixirs, plus Peng Lichang, who had completed the foundation of Dzogchen, gathered together.
Wang Baoshan, the former leader of the Five Elements Sect, was seriously injured and captured. His junior brother Peng Lichang interceded for mercy, and later joined the Peng family, where he received preferential treatment and attention.
Peng Lichang took advantage of the affection and trust between his brothers to scheme against the Five Elements Sect. He felt guilty and gave his own Spirit Fusion Pill to Wang Baoshan, which shows the deep relationship between the two and the character of Peng Lichang. sex.
Peng Lichang said anxiously to Peng Yuanzhong: "Father, what are you thinking about? If Qingyang and Shunyi don't support us, we won't be able to defend it at all. In seven days at the latest, the Allied troops will be on the way to the city!"
Peng Yuanzhong frowned and pursed his lips tightly, with a look of reluctance. Today, Heishui City completely belongs to the Peng family. Both the Keqing Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion are in control. No one would give up the ancestral land easily.
Peng Yuanqing said: "How about waiting? With a large formation guarding us, it shouldn't be a problem to resist for a month or two. When Qingyang and Shunyi retreat, they can help relieve the siege."
Peng Lichang: "Third uncle! The Xiahou family is so powerful that Qingyang cannot protect itself. Zhong Yan has not shown up in seclusion for nearly a year. Who knows what he thinks? The situation is changing rapidly. If we are late, not to mention many clan members, we may not be able to leave. !”
Peng Yuanqing retorted: "If we retreat from Qingyang now, we will become vassals of his Zhong clan, and we will also be dependent on others. We might as well choose a powerful prince!"
Peng Lichang's lips moved, but he stopped talking.
After a while of silence, the four of them looked at Peng Wanli, the only person sitting in the venue.
Peng Yuanzhong asked aloud: "Second Ancestor, what do you think?"
Peng Wanli was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with a lazy posture and a cynical look. He held his chin and thought for a while: "The monks with qualifications above three spiritual roots and under twenty years old should retreat to Qingyang Liuhe."
Peng Lichang said "Hey" in his heart, bowed and quickly went out to make arrangements.
…
Three days flew by.
The head of the east gate of Qingyang.
"Report! Benli City is destroyed! The Zhou family retreats to Danliang City!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Benli City was a small city and belonged to Danliang, but it was the 'gateway' of the Zhou family and was heavily guarded.
Just like Wudong City in Qingyang, when it was discovered that the invasion of soldiers was coming in advance of the month, the city was abandoned and retreated to Qingyang, temporarily staying at the Xiahou family.
Wei Siyu looked solemn: "If the Zhou family can't hold on, they won't turn around and attack us, right?"
Apparently, the army outside the city also received the news. Purple-robed Jindan shouted: "Fellow Daoist Su, what do you think? Fight or surrender, give me an attitude."
"We can attack!"
Su Yue raised her hand to signal, and Li Xi took the token in his hand and activated the city defense formation. The entire city wall held up a light blue halo, flickering.
"drive!"
The enemy army rushed out a warrior general.
Another monk each from Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Pill flew forward and started shouting for battle.
All kinds of taunting and humiliating words are getting harder and harder to hear.
Two days in a row.
Xiahou's army only provoked, but did not attack the city.
Shang Zhuoqing said again: "Sister! There is obviously something evil! Once Liangcheng is lost, the Zhou family is likely to surrender and attack Qingyang in turn!"
Su Yue's eyes flickered, hesitant.
"Try him!"
Yun Qianxun took a step forward, flew out of the city, and attacked the high-level white-robed golden elixir monk.
"Old Six!"
"Sixth sister!"
The girls were startled, and Shang Zhuoqing followed closely.
Su Yue shouted: "Don't move rashly!"
Boom~
After striking out, Yun Qianxun's eyes narrowed and he shot backwards, only to see a person rushing out of the spirit beast bag of the golden elixir monk in white.
Shang Zhuoqing gave Yun Qianxun a slap in the face and pulled Yun Qianxun back to the city wall.
The golden elixir in white chuckled: "Beauty Qianxun runs very fast!"
Shang Zhuoqing looked ugly and said apologetically: "I was wrong."
The army outside the city continued to shout provocations and was extremely arrogant.
Another day.
The Jindan monks outside the city began to attack the formation in groups of twos and threes.
Su Yue and others on the city wall were able to easily defend themselves against the enemy through formations.
Shang Zhuoqing frowned, and had a strong intuition that the other party was bluffing, but she almost fell into the trap before, which made her doubt herself. The other party might also be deliberately taking advantage of her own mentality to lure them out of the city, hoping to attack Qing with very few troops. Positive.
The ninth day of confrontation.
Two flying boats came across the sky, with more than a thousand monks, including thirty golden elixir auras!
At the same time, the scout came to report: "Xiahou's army has abandoned Danliang, and an army of 1.5 million is heading west in a detour, and may be heading towards Qingyang!"
Sure enough... Shang Zhuoqing slapped his palm on the city wall and shouted: "Treacherous!"
Yang Xinnian hurriedly asked: "Master, what should I do?"
Su Yue was silent, glanced at the faces of Wei Siyu, Yu Qingyao and other people in the Zhong family, and asked: "Can Zhong Yan explain which prince to choose?"
Wei Siyu: "Ayan said there are too many variables and has not yet decided. However, he mentioned that he is more inclined to the Fire Cloud Sect."
The Huoyun Sect was once the giant of the Yan Kingdom. Although it was divided, the great elder Fu Pengzhan was in charge, so it must have a closer relationship with the Shenxiao Sect.
Yu Qingyao: "But after many times of ignoring the capital's orders, there was a quarrel. Will the Fire Cloud Sect send troops to rescue?"
Yun Qianxun: "When it comes to war, we don't care about this little friction. Interest is fundamental."
Yu Qingyao added: "Furthermore, if Fengdeng City sends troops to assist Shunyi, will the Fire Cloud Sect still have extra troops to support us? It is better to find Ming Hao Sect, whose husband is close to Senior Lin, which is more feasible!"
outside the city.
Xiahou Zhi, an old man from the Jindan clan of the Xiahou family, dressed in black robes, stepped forward and said, "Su Yue, I'll give you one hour to think about it. Your submission after the expiration date will be invalid! Kill without mercy!"
"casual!"
Su Yue replied with a sneer, took out the communication talisman, and prepared to ask for help from the Fire Cloud Sect.
But at this time.
A strong pressure came over, covering an unknown distance.
Inside and outside the city, mortals, warriors, and low-level monks were all palpitating and suffocating. Large areas were kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Even a strong person with a golden elixir had abnormal chest tightness, disordered breathing, and uncontrollable cold sweat in an instant.
Xia Houzhi and others stumbled and fell to the ground.
Countless people looked up to the sky.
I saw that the originally clear sky suddenly had many dark clouds. They quickly gathered from all directions and moved to the sky above Qingyang City - where Cangbao Street is located.
"Rumble~" Men Lei said in a low voice.
Everyone was astonished.
Xia Houyan secretly wondered: "Is this... the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"
Su Yue looked in disbelief and murmured in her heart: "A natural disaster? Did that guy cause it? How is it possible?"
As a result, in just a blink of an eye, the dark clouds dissipated, the sky was clear and clear again.
The invisible and sudden pressure came and went away even faster.
The body and mind were restored to relaxation, and countless people were surprised and started talking.
Damn it, I was so scared, I thought someone in Qingyang City was going to survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation... Xiahou Zhi was frightened, his eyes flashed for a while, and he was even more determined to capture Qingyang. Such a strange phenomenon , since it is not a heavenly catastrophe, it must be mysterious, or it may be caused by a treasure that defies the heavens!
Without waiting for an hour or waiting for the follow-up army to arrive, he raised his hand and slashed forward.
"Siege the city!!!"
"Kill~~~~~"
Among the people on the city wall, some controlled formations, while others released magical attacks outside the city.
After a stick of incense.
Above the city wall, Yuan Ziyi flew over quickly and sent a message: "Sister, my husband said there is no need to ask for help, so hold on for half a month!"
Many enemy monks who were attacking the formation were stunned and their movements paused.
Who is this woman?
So beautiful!
