Guan Rentu ordered the attack on the city, but it was Chang Kui's decision behind it.
Xue Tong did not express any objection. It was almost impossible to defeat Hong Jing in a battle, so he just went with Guan Ren's wishes.
…
The army was dispatched and the attack fan was five miles wide.
The huge cannons from both sides blasted wildly, and those who were unlucky died. Xue Tong Jiugong Jianyun protected dozens of people close to him, and the bone puppet, soul beast and Xiao Yu'er were accompanied by about four people, and they quickly advanced to within ten miles from the city.
The red-eyed ballistae fired intensively, and the ghost tribe laid down thousands of corpses, and finally rushed hundreds of feet outside the city.
Several huge cannons from the Toluo Army hit the city wall, and the wall protection collapsed, exploding numerous cracks.
The black mass of ghost monks swarmed towards Yancheng like ants, jumped up on the wall, and fought hand to hand with Hong Jing.
Xue Tong saw at a glance that ghost monks were falling in pieces a few miles to the northwest.
It must be Tang Jinglong or the big ghost Mohe!
"Follow me and kill the opponent's general!"
Xue Tong called to the ghost kings around him, and headed towards the northwest with the help of clouds.
The red eyes on the wall threw iron spears, and the shots were like rain. Xue Tong spat out his sword skills, and the Nine Palace Sword Formation roared and slashed away. Firestones flew randomly, and the black stone wall exploded with a gap several feet wide.
Xue Tong swept away most of the Huntian Ju, and the remaining red eyes that slipped through the net were handed over to the Bone Puppet Tyrannosaurus Ape, Li Xin, and Xiao Yu'er.
The Tuoluo army poured into Yancheng like a tide.
When Mohe saw that it was Xue Tong, he gave an order in a low voice, and his subordinates fired the retreat bomb, and retreated towards the second protective wall with red eyes.
Guan Ren's Chinese army has surged forward.
Xue Tong's sword formation was exhausted and could not replenish it for a while, so he withdrew the nine swords.
The red-eyed ghosts fell down piece by piece amid the Tuoluo army's killing shouts.
Xue Tong pursued him the most ruthlessly, and no one survived wherever he passed.
Ten miles away, the ten-thousand-bladed cannons inside the two walls fired a volley, forcing the Tuoluo army to stop.
"Bang!"
The gray sky in the ghost world turned red, Guan Ren ordered the firing of a message bomb to terminate the attack!
…
The Toluo army suffered a tragic victory.
Three thousand were killed in battle, and in exchange for four thousand red-eyed corpses, the only consolation was that they broke through the first line of defense in Yancheng.
Xiao Yuer's face showed a long-lost smile.
She hadn't fought for many years, and when she attacked the city, she easily killed seven or eight innate-level red eyes, which was really exciting.
"It's really killing. Didn't you say that you can't do your best at work?" Xiao Yu'er asked.
"Not working hard is against common sense. Besides, letting Hong Jing suffer more will make it easier to conclude a deal." Xue Tong said.
"We tried today. Neither side is sure of winning. It's time to negotiate." Zhou Luo said.
"Well, Xue has suggested that the casualties are too high and peace talks should be considered."
"Guan Ren agreed to negotiate according to the old plan first and ask Territory Master Chang for instructions." Xue Tong said.
…
The negotiation location was chosen in Tuoshan.
The flat stone mountain, which is a hundred feet high, looks like the back of a turtle at seven points.
Xue Tong brought three high-ranking ghost kings from Tuoluo Army to the meeting.
On the side with red eyes are Tang Jinglong and five ghosts.
Xue Tong and Tang Jinglong knew very well that the negotiation was just a show for the entourage he had brought.
Tang Jinglong proposed that Tuoluo Territory should be ceded to the three states of Yan, Bao and Xue.
The negotiations were difficult, and Xue Tong sent a message to Tang Jinglong: "Fake agreement after a few times. After Chang Kui releases the remaining hostages, Xue will help you find a way."
"The method you mentioned in your letter is to bring about two and a half states, otherwise we will first fake peace and then fight against the water of Tuoluo Territory," Tang Jinglong said in a message.
"Um"
"Why should I trust you?" Tang Jinglong asked.
"Xue has a third-grade earth-level sword. Later, when you ask for the magic weapon of Dead Red Eyes, Xue will mix the magic weapon with it and pledge it to you."
The magic weapons of the ghost clan are far less sophisticated than those of the dwarves.
The Red-Eyed Clan who invaded the Tuoluo Territory only used the third-grade earth-level magic weapon of Lord Tulun. You can imagine the rarity of the sword.
"It's so careless. If you really didn't fulfill the contract, Tang wouldn't have been scolded so badly by Tu Lun." Tang Jinglong muttered in Chuanyin.
The rest of the ghost clan were talking animatedly, with Xue Tong and Tang Jinglong interjecting from time to time, and they spent more than half of the time chatting in secret.
The two of them had higher magic power than the others, and they used the human voice transmission technique, so Hong Jing and the ghost cultivators from the Tuoluo Realm had no way of detecting them.
"Taoist Master Xue killed two thousand Hongqing in Yanzhou and robbed countless magic weapons. If we want to make peace with him sincerely, we can return some of them," Tang Jinglong said.
"The peace talks have just begun, so it is too early to return the magical artifacts, but to show sincerity, I will return a small amount."
Xue Tong fiddled with several storage containers, filled a storage bag, and mixed in the treasured sword of Xue Tu, the strongest person in the dwarf tribe.
Negotiations for half a day yielded no results, and it was agreed to continue in ten days.
After three months, the Tuoluo Territory retreated to the bottom line: the two states of Yanzhuang and the Big Bear Mountains in southern Selangor were given over to the red eyes.
Tu Lun agreed to negotiate peace on this condition.
Chang Kui later proposed that each party send a number of hostages to live in the other's territory. After five years of nothing, they would all be withdrawn and a new group would continue.
The list given by Toluo Yifang is the six ghost king-level auxiliary generals who have performed very well in recent years.
"Here is our list. Hong Jing will be dispatched as well. Your Ghost Lord is in Tengzhou. We will treat each other well and Qiu will not do anything wrong."
"Five years of practice will pass." Guan Ren said.
The two groups do not completely trust each other, so this approach makes it much more difficult to break the agreement.
Tang Jinglong was stunned and said displeasedly: "It's not right for you to create extraneous matters. Let's not talk about whether these assistant generals are willing. Such distrust will make people very uncomfortable."
If a hostage link was added to the secret discussion between Tang Jinglong and Xue Tong, it would be extremely difficult to implement, so of course he would not agree.
"Whoever is willing to hold his life in the hands of others is hard to find and can only be forced to do so. What's more, every five years will only make more and more backbones of the clan feel resentful and dissatisfied. This proposal is inappropriate."
"If I really want to add insurance, why not make a guarantee for Xue? If I tear up the agreement, I will become Xue's enemy." Xue Tong said.
After ten days of delay, Chang Kui finally took back his orders and reached a peace treaty with Hong Jing.
There is hope for Chang Kui in the mid-term stage of heavenly beings. When the late stage of heavenly beings ascend to the spiritual world, the Tuoluo Realm will come to nothing. Why fight to the death at all costs?
The Toluo Ghost Clan is weak, so ceding two states and one ridge is almost the best result he can get.
Xue Tong was concerned about the benefits of Gan Cong in the Minuluo Region. Guan Ren informed Chang Kui that Chang Kui had made arrangements to send a small amount of spiritual objects, plus half of Snow State to be leased to the Minuluo Region free of charge for five hundred years.
"It is extremely difficult to find an extremely cold place like Xuezhou in the entire Minluo." Guan Ren said.
"Gan Cong will satisfy Tang Jinglong that he wants the three states!" Xue Tong thought to himself.
He was uneasy, worried that Gan Cong would attack the hostages of Xuanling Dojo.
Half a month later, on the outskirts of Acheng.
At the agreed hill col, three ghost carriages drove up and seven people got out.
"Where are Fan Ruhua and Huo Huang?" Xue Tong shouted anxiously.
Ren Jue
Xue Tong took the letter, opened it and read it.
Guan Ren's letter mentioned: Chang Kui never showed up during the negotiation with Hong Jing from beginning to end. Firstly, he was worried that Xue Tong would find him unlucky. Secondly, Fan Ruhua and Huo Huang were never brought back after they were taken away by monk Minuluo. Chang Kui never showed up. Kui urged him again and again, but Gan Cong just smiled and said he would wait, and finally pretended to agree to Chang Kui's suggestion, saying that he would pick up the person personally and never return.
As for why it was Fan Ruhua and Huo Huang, Guan Ren analyzed that the two had the highest martial arts level. Gan Cong guessed that the two had the closest relationship with Xue Tong and were rare treasures. After being selected, they were taken away by his cronies and imprisoned in a secret location.
Guan Ren wrote in his letter: "Guan thought that Gan Cong had brought the two of them back to Minuluo and was setting up a trap for the Taoist priest to dig in."
"The Taoist Master may consider giving up the two of them and returning to the human world as soon as possible. Our people are stepping up their evacuation from the Valley Road. The situation there is enough for the Taoist Master to discuss."
"If Taoist Master wants to go to Minuluo, be careful. Territory Master Chang sent something. I hope it will be helpful."
"The Chang Territory Master is hiding somewhere where the Taoist Master can't find him. I will temporarily take charge of this domain. I hope that the Taoist Master will not fall into Gan Cong's scheme, anger Tuoluo, and start another war."
Xue Tong threw the letter to Xiao Yu'er, took the storage bracelet, unlocked the heaven-level restrictions, and glanced at the items inside the bracelet.
"Taoist Master plans to join forces with Hong Jing to cause trouble in Tuoluo, or..." Zhou Luo asked cautiously.
"How can I send you back first after burning down Chang Kui's lair!" Xue Tong said with a dark face and gritted his teeth.
"Then you go back to the ghost world?" Xiao Yu'er asked with a serious expression, not daring to show off her temper.
"Well, I have to do it even though I know there are tigers in the mountains."
"how long"
"Ten or eight years is enough!"
“What is Gan Cong Tu about?”
"The idea of seizing Xue's property may have come from the cruelty of the war. Seizing land requires sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of Minuluo ghost cultivators, which may not be cost-effective." Xue Tong guessed.
…
All the ghost people in Yougu Road were evacuated.
In the Tianqi Hall, Xue Tong told King Tianqi and all the monks about the trip to Tuoluo, and entrusted Xiao Yuer and others to King Tianqi.
King Tianqi was naturally overjoyed that there were no more ghosts in the valley road, and the resentment of the people in the kingdom was calmed down.
"You are all heroes of the Tianqi Kingdom. Several Taoist Priests are temporarily staying in the Yanyuan of the Royal Palace. Taoist Priest Xue will take care of things on his own. However, I will follow the advice of the Imperial Master and seal the boundary road. The Taoist Priest will pass by using a spell on his return."
"According to the king's wishes, Xue takes his leave. These magical weapons and spiritual materials will be donated to Tianqi Kingdom."
Xue Tong gave him more than a hundred top-grade and top-grade magic weapons, as well as a large number of acquired innate-level spiritual materials. These things are useless in Xuanling Dojo, but there are many monks at all levels in Tianqi Kingdom, so they will be able to make the best use of them.
Xue Tong's heroic move has deep meaning.
…
Ghost world, Gucheng.
The place agreed between Xue Tong and Tang Jinglong.
After listening to the story, Tang Jinglong frowned and said, "Taoist Master Xue means not to restart the war for the time being."
"The earnings from Hong Eye will always satisfy you for ten or eight years. After fighting for so many years, you can rest and practice the exercises."
"Tang will not return that earth-level treasured sword."
"Xue has broken the promise, just take it."
Xue Tong was too lazy to talk, and the sword was rare. Tang Jinglong had never found a way to upgrade the magic weapon. This sword was enough for him to enjoy for decades or hundreds of years.
…
Xue Tong went to Xuzhou and packed ten storage bracelets with ice.
He stayed in the snow cave for half a month, trying to figure out the treasures given by Chang Kui.
Chang Kui was worried about Xue Tong's crazy revenge, so the things he gave away were extremely valuable.
Even Xue Tong couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Ghostly Hidden Shirt!
It was after seeing this shirt that day that Xue Tong completely gave up the idea of killing in Tuoluo Domain.
The Onigakure Shirt is worn inside the outer robe, and it can lower the Fakai's spiritual pressure by one level without resorting to any techniques. Even when martial arts and Fakai are operating at full strength, the same effect is achieved.
The Ghost Hidden Shirt comes with magic weapon-level protection
"In this way, Xue can hide his identity, enter the Mingluo Territory alone, and choose the opportunity to rescue Fan Ruhua and Huo Huang."
Chang Kui left a note explaining that this shirt had been collected for a hundred years just for refining materials, and was now presented to Xue Tong in the hope of helping him.
