Xue Tong tried to distract the pursuing enemies, but how could Tang Jinglong be fooled.
He, Mohe and the ten high-ranking ghost kings chased each other, not caring whether Xue Tong escaped.
"You who know practical things should persuade Tu Lun and take over the two states, otherwise you will regret it!" Xue Tong's figure moved further and further away.
Mohe signaled to withdraw his troops, but Xue Tong's ferocious attack made him feel frightened in his heart. He felt that even Tu Lun, who had the strongest red eyes, was no match for him.
"Go back to the camp quickly and report to Lord Turun." Mohe ordered.
There was only one word in Xue Tong's mind: kill!
"Kill until you panic!"
He traveled around and killed the red-eyed troops when he saw them. He slaughtered small camps directly, and left after killing large camps.
The Hong Jing Army shrank significantly, and the external camps retreated, unable to leave the city.
…
Xue Tong patrolled the Yanzhou border for several days. Seeing no chance, he simply returned to the ghost tribe's territory.
Next to him is a violent ape soul beast full of breath.
Xue Tong killed thousands of ghosts, and the soul power absorbed by the violent ape allowed him to grow more in two months than in the past twenty years.
Advance to the later stage in one fell swoop.
Xue Tong was wandering a few miles outside Aicheng.
The ghost sentry recognized Xue Tong and quickly dispatched two cavalry. They were only innate-level ghost cultivators, indicating that they did not intend to be enemies.
"What advice does the Taoist have?" Guihou asked.
"Send a letter to the governor!"
…
Xue Tong proposed to assemble a large army and attack Gucheng in Yanzhou. He quickly received a response. Chang Kui agreed. Ren, the deputy director of the territory, would serve as the chief general of the Northern Army, with Xue Tong assisting him.
The Southern Army was led by Chang Kui himself and was ready to attack Baozhou.
The Northern Army has been gathering in recent months to form an army of 70,000.
Xue Tong led 20,000 front troops and rushed to the front. In order to save the hostages, he had no choice but to become the strongest thug of the ghost tribe.
The garrison of Gucheng was so weak that it took almost no effort to defeat this important town leading to Hong Jing's base camp.
Guan Ren convened a meeting.
Xue Tong hesitated and took the risk to attend the meeting. In order to save the hostages, he could only cooperate with the ghost clan.
Guan Ren occupied the palace of the Lord of Gucheng, and Xue Tong went there alone. There were many ghost soldiers along the way, which made people worried.
Xue Tong made up his mind that if the ghost clan wanted to do something bad, he would use the Tongtian Lingbao to kill it.
There were more than ten ghost kings in the palace. Xue Tong pressed one hand on the storage bag, his face expressionless, and the green energy of the Gang Demon's protective layer floated.
Xue Tong's seat is located closest to the door.
Guan Ren made this arrangement because he wanted Xue Tong to feel at ease as much as possible.
"I didn't expect that Gu Cheng Hongqing gave up the resistance and dismissed the ghost people early. She planned to fight in Yancheng." Guan Ren waited for Xue Tong to sit down and asked everyone.
"In the years of war, except for the garrison in Gucheng, there are very few ghost people. They gave up shrinking. It is most likely that they want to gather a strong force in Yancheng and fight our army decisively." The ghost king in the army said.
"Tu Lun is fighting against the Chang Territory Lord in Baocheng. Is Yancheng strong enough?" Guan Ren asked rhetorically.
He is one of the two ghost lords in the Toluo domain.
"Unless the red eyes let go of the ram"
"Impossible. Gong Yangye was exiled to the second level of the underworld and placed under house arrest in an area controlled by Tu Lun."
Xue Tonghu said: "Nothing is impossible. Chang Kui invited Xue using impossible methods."
Guan Ren's face showed embarrassment, "Don't worry, Taoist Master, once Hong Jing is defeated, the ghost clan will pay a huge reward."
"What do Chang Kui and Gan Cong mean?" Xue Tong asked.
"Lord Chang does have this intention." Guan Ren nodded.
"The war is about to begin. Xue asked for the release of half of the hostages. This will not only provide a few more helpers, but also show the ghost clan's sincerity and no intention to cause harm."
"You guys discuss it!" Xue Tong knew very well how important he was to the ghost clan, and it would be foolish not to make any demands.
After Xue Tong finished speaking, he left the palace and returned to the former residence of the garrison in Gucheng.
One month later.
The Northern Army was ready, and four new guests arrived at Xue Tong's house.
Li Xin, Xiao Yuer, Zhou Luo, Tian Kun!
The ghost clan carefully selected and released four people.
Li Xin, Xiao Yuer, and Zhou Luotiankun were ordinary in appearance. Chang Kui believed that these four people had a normal relationship with Xue Tong and were not very strategic.
The four of them were silent when they saw Xue Tong. Xiao Yu'er had tears in her eyes and couldn't hold them back.
"Just come back. Xue was careless that day and almost hurt everyone."
"I can't blame Taoist priest, who would have thought that Gu Shidong and Chang Kui would be so cunning!" Zhou Luo sighed and said.
Xue Tong asked Xiao Yuer and others about their experiences. After the four of them froze, they were taken to an unknown underground palace. They were not mistreated, but they lost their freedom and could only practice exercises. Half a month ago, the ghost clan suddenly returned the stored magic weapon and was taken to Gucheng.
"We will leave for Yancheng in a few days. If everything goes well, Huo Huang and others will be safe and sound!" Xue Tong said.
…
After marching for two thousand miles without resistance, Guan Ren ordered to set up camp in the outskirts of Yancheng, three hundred miles away.
Just outside the range of long-range artillery.
Xue Tong asked Ying to go to the outskirts of Yanzhou to try to make contact with Hong Jing.
Guan Ren was not worried about Xue Tong's escape and immediately agreed.
Xue Tong disguised himself as a ghost cultivator and went straight to Yancheng.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Three cannon shots were fired fifty miles away.
At the same time that Xue Tong heard the sound of cannons, bombs flew overhead and exploded violently.
Countless iron fragments and awning needles, ten times denser than drizzle, fell in clusters.
The ghost clan's Ten Thousand Blade Bullets attack in a wide range, and those with a master level or below can avoid damage unless they rely on protective magic weapons.
Three thousand-edged bullets exploded in a square shape, no matter the front, back, left, or right, there were tiny needles of shrapnel in all directions.
Xue Tong's Gang Demon protective layer is a heavenly and human-level protection. It can withstand the attacks of thousands of shrapnel and fine needles with a slight shock.
Xue Tong walked slowly towards the east gate of Yancheng.
Boom, three more thousand-edged bombs exploded.
Hong Jing currently has the strongest explosive single, attacking the mid-level master monks indiscriminately.
Xue Tong's Gang Demon protective layer was compressed by half.
He stopped in an open area thirty miles from the city gate.
The main city of Hongyan is not a place where he can go alone.
Hong Jing no longer fires Ten Thousand-Blade Bullets. These bullets cost a lot of money and are a powerful tool for defending the city. It is not cost-effective to waste them on people like Xue Tong.
Xue Tong waited for more than three hours, and a duck boat flew from the direction of Yancheng.
Gui Hou Dacheng-level Hong Jing sent a secret letter.
Xue Tong never expected the weight of this letter!
The letter was written by Tang Jinglong, and Xue Tong was shocked by what he mentioned.
Tang Jinglong's letter said: "Fellow Daoist Xue may be working enthusiastically for Chang Kui, but little does he know that the lives of your friends are at stake!"
"Gan Cong is just a hypocritical assistant sent by the Lord of Minluo to kill Chang Kui. He took advantage of the perfect opportunity of holding hostages to kill your friend, so you won't fight back."
When Xue Tongtong read this, his head was buzzing.
If something unexpected happened to the nine remaining people in Xuanling Dojo, he would set fire to the city and slaughter Chang Kui into pieces, and he would not be able to forgive his hatred!
Tang Jinglong's letter mentioned that the territory is what the domain lord dreams of. The Minluo domain lord has been spying on the Tuoluo domain where wars have been turbulent for a long time. If Chang Kui and Guan Ren can be defeated, he will never show mercy. Gan Cong has two plans, good and bad. Taking advantage of the opportunity, if Chang Kui died and Hong Jing's strength was greatly damaged, it should be regarded as the outcome. When the territorial demands of the three northern states of Tuoluo Domain are raised, Hong Jing will most likely compromise. Therefore, when the decisive battle begins, the hostages will be killed to make Xue Tong rebel!
Tang Jinglong also talked about Xuecheng, the Sixth Island of Bomang Lake and other places where hostages were detained.
Tang Jinglong finally said: "For the current plan, we need to delay time and try to rescue the hostages instead of triggering a decisive battle."
"If you don't fight, Hong Jing's strength will not be damaged. If Gan Cong kills the hostages and makes you betray him, you won't get much benefit. In this way, the hostages are safe."
Xue Tong barely suppressed his inner turmoil and returned to the camp.
He handed Guan Ren a bag of thin shrapnel needles and said: "The quality of the red-eyed ten thousand blade bullets is superior to that of our army. Large-scale siege must be done with caution."
Guan Ren thought that Xue Tong's bad mood was due to the difficulty of attacking the city. He laughed and said, "No need to worry, Taoist Priest. You can continue to collect information and consider it carefully."
…
In the former military camp, Xue Tong and Xiao Yu'er discussed in a secret room, "Xue estimates that Tang Jinglong's letter is 30% true and 70% false, but what he said is not completely impossible and must be guarded against. Fan Ruhua and others must not get into trouble." !”
"You humans are too cunning. This is one of the reasons why the demons hate humans." Li Xin couldn't stand such a complicated situation and said.
Xiao Yu'er insisted on delaying, "If we can't hold on, even if the ghost clan really starts to fight, we can't work hard, we can only show our strength, and sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers!"
Zhou Luo was silent for a while and said: "Tang Jinglong's letter is true and false, but it reminds us that Taoist Master Xue's cards are the best and the worst, so we should use them carefully."
"Oh, tell me carefully!" Xue Tong raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Luo said: "Currently, the three families have chips in their hands. Chang Kui holds the hostage card and forces the Taoist Master to submit; Hong Jing plays the card of exposing Ming Luo's old background and sows dissension; while the Taoist Master has a good hand of playing cards, and both sides They all need to rely on the Taoist priest to defeat their opponents. Zhou feels that Tang Jinglong has an internal agent in the ghost clan, but the information is not very clear. The Taoist priest should continue to contact Tang Jinglong, reach a deal, and defeat Chang Kui!"
"Well said, Chang Kui deserves death!" Xiao Yu'er echoed loudly.
"Well, what Zhou Daoyou said makes sense." Xue Tong nodded.
Two days later, Xue Tong went to the suburbs of Yancheng again and sent a letter proposing a new plan.
Tang Jinglong cannot be the master of the new plan and must ask Tu Lun for instructions.
While Xue Tong was anxiously waiting for a reply, Guan Ren suddenly ordered an attack on the city!
"The night is long and there are many dreams, and changes will occur after a long delay. We should attack Yancheng immediately, and it will be set at two o'clock tonight!"
Inside the Chinese army's account, Guan Ren ordered.
