Eight days later, the northern city wall of Huanglai County.

Bei Mingfei stood on the city wall, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before. These ten days had worn away all his vigor, leaving only composure and caution.

Six days ago, he led the Purple Thunder Army back from the Guomu-Taihua line, and collided with the Chaotian Pavilion army led by Zou Yuan. Both sides suffered losses, but Chaotian Pavilion suffered greater losses, so it was a small victory. bureau.

But Zou Yuan's strategy was obviously stronger than his. In just two days, he recovered his losses, and even defeated five state capitals in a row, taking control of three-fifths of Jingzhou's land, forcing him to retreat to the wilderness. Laidu

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, I regret bringing Zi Lei to Jingzhou." Bei Mingfei said suddenly, looking at the north. His figure looked a little lonely.

"This matter is not His Highness's responsibility. Besides, His Highness's outstanding military exploits are enough to offset the blame." Beichen said.

"One hundred thousand Lin family soldiers were slaughtered to death by Chaotian Pavilion. I don't even know how to face her." Bei Mingfei said with a bitter smile.

"You also read my father's secret letter last night. If we are defeated, we will retreat quickly. But how can I, the son of the Bei family, be considered a deserter?"

"Let's not talk about whether we can evacuate or not. Even if we evacuate and return to the court, I am afraid that I will no longer need to be the prince, and I will be impeached by the emperor's brothers immediately; and if I can defeat Chaotian Pavilion and walk out of the palace alive, State, then this world will definitely be mine in the future."

Beichen sighed and did not answer. After a long time, he said: "I heard that the Supreme Elder of the Xiang family is also in Huangcai County now. If we ask him for help, we will have a better chance of winning."

"I went to see him yesterday, but he didn't give an answer. I think he was just a theatergoer." Bei Mingfei laughed at himself, and then ordered: "Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow , is the real decisive battle."

After saying that, he climbed down the city wall by himself, but his back looked very lonely.

Huanglai County, Lin's Manor, entrance to the underground palace.

A middle-aged man, dressed in white, was walking quickly towards the entrance of the underground palace. Before he could get close, a soldier drew his sword and stopped him, shouting: "The clan's forbidden area! No one without a handwriting is allowed to enter!"

The man in white smiled, took out a seal from his arms, raised the seal, and said: "This is the clan order granted by the young lady personally. The young lady said that you can enter with this order."

The two soldiers carefully inspected the seal, looked at each other again, nodded immediately, put their swords into their sheaths, and said, "Please come in."

The man in white put away the clan order and walked down the stairs to the underground palace. He walked down for half an hour, and the long staircase just ended, and what came into view was a huge and intricate earth palace.

He took out a map from his sleeve, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face. He walked along the map for nearly half an hour and came to the brightest place in the entire underground palace.

This is a huge round hole with no bottom. If you throw a stone into it, there will be no echo.

The huge cave is more than a hundred feet in diameter. There is a platform on the cave, and there are stone stairs leading to the platform in all directions. On the platform, a huge crystal that shines like a pearl is suspended, surrounded by a spherical transparent cover.

There are eight dark chains connected to it, and the other end is hidden in the huge hole, seeming to be extracting something outward.

"Is this the [core]?" The man in white climbed onto the platform and looked at the bright crystal, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes.

When he just stretched out his palm to grab the crystal, however, a black shadow suddenly took the lead and grabbed the [core]...

Huangcai County, in a private house.

"Your Majesty, the node has been laid out, just waiting for your call tomorrow." A man wrapped in a black robe knelt on his knees and said respectfully to a shadow.

"Well, this matter is related to our clan's grand plan, so we must not ignore it." A strange voice came from the shadow, and the shadow immediately dispersed.

"The God of Hades is immortal through the ages, and our clan will be prosperous for thousands of years!" said the person in the black robe with a sharp smile.

······

Huanglai County, Xiang family.

A waiter served Xiang Gu tea and said, "Old Xiang, His Royal Highness has sent another batch of heavy gifts today, which are piled in front of the door. Do you want to accept them or not?"

"Alas." Xiang Gu took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and said, "That's all, just accept it, just think of it as selling out to the royal family. By the way, is there still no movement from Fang Li?"

The waiter replied: "Is there any movement in the young master's room? There is only the blue light cocoon."

"Huh?" There was doubt in Xiang Gu's eyes, "Forget it, never mind, I hope he can show up before tomorrow. Has the Hanhai Talisman I asked for arrived?"

"It has been sent to the secret room and is waiting for your acceptance." The waiter said immediately.

"Well, you go and deal with the gifts. I'll check the status of the Hanhai Talisman again." Xiang Gu nodded, stood up and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the secret room.

In the center of the secret room, there is a shuttle-shaped crystal quietly placed, with a streamlined design as a whole. There is a layer of hydrogen mist around the crystal, making it difficult to see the internal structure.

Xiang Gu carefully picked up the crystal, looked at it again and again, and after examining it several times, he put it into the ring.

"Tomorrow, it's up to you, little guy..."

One hundred and fifty miles away, the Chaotian Pavilion army was in the commander's tent.

At this time, the commander's tent has become a temporary conference room. All the senior generals have gathered here for the last meeting before the decisive battle. The meeting is coming to an end.

"I think our goal is very clear, to wipe out Huanglai County with blood! In tomorrow's battle, what we want is a crushing victory! By then, both the Mu Pavilion Master and the Taishang Pavilion Master will come to help. Are you confident? !" Zou Yuan asked.

"have!"

"not enough!"

"have!!!"

"Very good!" Zou Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Remember, we want a bloodbath! No one will be left alive, and the Lin family will repay the price we paid thousands of times! Let's break up!"

After the generals dispersed, a man in golden robe quietly appeared in the tent. When Zou Yuan saw him, he immediately saluted and said, "Sir."

"Tomorrow there will be a saint in our palace. Your performance will be seen by the saint. I don't need to say more, right?" The man in gold robe said coldly.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir, we will conquer Huanglai County within two seconds at most!" Zou Yuan's voice became more respectful.

"Don't underestimate the enemy." The man in golden robe looked at him deeply.

The next day.

Huanglai County, North City Wall.

Almost all the elites who have cultivated in the heavenly realm are gathered here to face this battle that concerns their fate.

On the city wall, it was very quiet at this time, and you could hear a pin drop.

Standing at the front was Bei Mingfei, who was dressed in purple attire. Beichen was half a step behind him, and then came the elite soldiers of the Purple Thunder Legion and the remaining strength of the Lin family.

"Your Highness, it's already a quarter of an hour." "There is still a quarter of an hour at most." "After Beiming flew away, a soldier of the Purple Thunder Legion said.

"Son, are you ready?" Bei Mingfei asked.

"Everything has been deployed. With the support of the entire Huanglai County, defense for two days will not be a problem." The general replied.

"Yes." Bei Mingfei nodded, his eyes suddenly turned to Lin He, who was dressed in white, and asked: "Is there any news about Yun'er? When will she be released from confinement?"

"Back to Your Highness: Miss has been in the secret room, and we have no news." Lin He said hurriedly.

Bei Mingfei nodded and looked towards the north again, his face expressionless, showing no joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

About half an hour later.

Bei Mingfei's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and then he shouted: "Prepare the Thousand Tribulation Plane! Head northeast, prepare the Eternal Formation!"

On the city wall, war drums were beaten. Orders were issued quickly. In the camp, huge crossbows were pointed at the northeast, arrows already cocked, waiting for the enemy to appear.

Less than a minute after the order was issued, the rumble of war drums also came from the northeast, like thunder in a violent storm. Huge black and white lotus flags covered the sky and the sun, and they were rushing towards the wild vegetables.

When the army reached about three miles from the city wall, it stopped.

I saw Zou Yuan walking out of the army and said with a cold smile: "I, Chaotian Pavilion, have always been kind. If you surrender, you will not only save your lives, but also get a reward from my pavilion! What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, some of Lin's war-fearing people were shaken in their hearts. Seeing this, Bei Mingfei snorted coldly and said: "Commander Zou, there is no need to persuade you to surrender. Besides, you are so confident that you can eat it." us?"

"You don't need to consider whether you can eat it or not. I'm just giving the wise a choice. After all, I also cherish talents very much." Zou Yuan said with a smile.

"Anyone who dares to surrender will be executed immediately." Bei Mingfei said with a cold expression.

"It seems that if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink?!" Zou Yuan's face darkened and he threatened.

"Thousand calamity plane, let go!" Bei Mingfei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and ordered directly.

Arrows that were more than two feet long were shot out quickly, and there were countless sounds of breaking through the air. Thousands of crossbow arrows were above the Chaotian army in the blink of an eye.

"Then I don't need to say more. Today, the city will be massacred!" Zou Yuan laughed angrily and waved his sleeves. At least nearly a hundred heavenly warriors rose from the army. The powerful Yuan Power swept across the sky in an instant. Take down all the crossbow bolts.

At the same time, a Yuanli cannon was aimed at the city wall and roared, and the cavalry and spearmen rushed forward quickly.

"Aim at the cavalry with the Thousand Tribulation Planes! Everyone, take action to defend yourself!" Bei Mingfei ordered. Everyone on the city wall took action together, and a huge Yuanli barrier appeared, blocking all the Yuanli cannon attacks.

The crossbow arrows spewed out by the Thousand Tribulations Machine are extremely lethal to cavalry and spearmen. Each arrow can pierce the body of at least one person. After a round of volleys, Chaotian Pavilion's charging regiment suffered heavy casualties.

The hundreds of heavenly warriors in Chaotian Pavilion did not take action to defend themselves at this time. Instead, they all flew towards the city wall, constantly attacking the Yuanli barrier, causing the barrier to fluctuate continuously.

"If you want to play, I will accompany you!" Beichen snorted coldly, rose into the air, formed a seal with his hands, and a huge dark brown thunder ball appeared in the air, with electric tongues flying around it.

"Take a hit from me!" Beichen pushed forward with both hands, and the thunder ball immediately flew towards the strong man in Chaotian Pavilion.

The thunder ball was so loud that it caused those strong men to retreat and defend themselves. After catching the ball forcefully, several people vomited blood and fell down. Their bodies were as black as coke from the electricity, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

"Hmph!" Beichen slapped another palm with his backhand, and the giant lightning palm took shape in an instant and fell straight towards where those people were! This is undoubtedly better than Thunderball!

When the giant thunder palm fell halfway, it was stuck. An old man wearing a green patterned robe appeared in the void, and he casually broke the thunder palm.

The old man chuckled and said: "Beichen, what's the point of using your peak power to bully a group of people for a day or two? Why not do it with me?"

Beichen's face darkened, and just when he was about to take action, Bei Mingfei's message came to his ears: "Mr. Chen, retreat quickly!"

Bei Mingfei's voice sounded very anxious. After Beichen hesitated for half a second, he suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and returned.

"Eternal Formation! Get up!" Bei Mingfei shouted as soon as Beichen returned.
