The six major sword sects gathered together to start the competition. The elder of the Broken Sword Sect announced that No. 4 would come on stage to fight. Duan Yuerong walked onto the stage and found that her opponent was not at the Lingwu Zun realm, but his strength was unfathomable.
After the two girls exchanged greetings, they officially started a battle. There was constant back and forth. From the battle point of view, the two of them were equally matched.
But the elders of the Lingjian Sect knew very well what happened to Luo Qianjiao, and they were deliberately letting things slip.
He wanted to stand up and remind him that this was a grand competition among the six sects, but he couldn't put the sect's reputation first and couldn't let it be damaged by his words.
There was always going back and forth between them, and Duan Yuerong kept the words of the sect leader and junior brother in mind, not to compete with each other and just perform as usual.
This battle lasted eight or nine hundred rounds, and the battle was still going on. However, the elder of the Lingjian Sect received an order from his sect leader to cooperate with the Golden Sword Sect in all competitions, which made him very puzzled.
It was not until the battle lasted for a thousand rounds that both women showed signs of physical exhaustion and spiritual energy exhaustion, and the battle ended in a draw with no outcome.
Dugu Chang really didn't understand. These were the four geniuses of the six major sword sects. They were really powerful. They lost two and drew two. He thought they could win four, but it seemed that he thought too highly of them.
The current game is for their Broken Sword Sect to appear, hoping that his son will win. This is also his arrangement. After all, the strongest members of the Golden Sword Sect have already appeared.
The Great Elder of the Broken Sword Sect had no choice but to declare a draw, and then invited No. 5 to the fighting stage. This time, it was his sect's young master's turn to appear.
Dugutian and Yi Wuge came on stage one after another, and the two started to fight without saying much. At the beginning of the battle, Yi Wuge did not use his full strength, and it was not until thirty rounds that he fully exerted his fighting power.
This battle lasted less than fifty rounds, and he quickly defeated Dugu Tian, shocking everyone's attention.
It can be said that Dugutian was completely dejected. The first four games were at least 100 rounds later, but he didn't even last 60 rounds. It really hit his confidence.
Dugu Chang was greatly disappointed. His Tian'er actually lost. Could it be that everyone in the Golden Sword Sect is a genius? He would never believe it.
So far, in the first match of the five major sword sects, no one has defeated the Golden Sword Sect.
As the referee, the Broken Sword Sect let out a long sigh and was silent for a long time before announcing that the Golden Sword Sect had won.
The sixth competition was changed to the Nine Swords Sect versus the Sword Controlling Sect. The battle between the two sects was very fierce. As the second core disciple of the two contemporary sects, the two were fighting equally well.
After fighting for more than a thousand rounds, there was still no winner. Xiaobai and Yunyue started chatting privately, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two sects, and believed that if the battle continued like this, there would be no winner.
The two men also fought very smoothly, using their limited attack distance to launch attacks without getting into close combat with each other, and finally ended in a draw after exhaustion.
As night fell that day, the Wei army began to attack the Qi army, attacking one by one and defending one by one. The eight marshals of the four groups ordered the army to attack and retreat when they were within range of the Qi army.
This caused Xia Houyuan's 200,000 troops to suffer heavy casualties, and the Sword Sect was no exception. Shangguan Lingyun and Xia Houyuan were furious.
However, their military strength was not enough to fight against the four marshals and eight marshals, so Shangguan Lingyun began to have a plan in mind, and secretly contacted Xia Houyuan to plot major events.
Shangguan Lingyun said straight to the point: "Generalissimo, we can't continue like this. Our personnel will surely be killed and wounded. We have to find a way to get rid of eight of them and seize their military power to control the entire army, so that we can quickly capture Lingxia County."
"As Mr. Yi said, what should we do?" Xia Houyuan wanted to hear his advice.
Shangguan Lingyun whispered his suggestion in his ear, hoping that he could send a few people to assist him. After all, the eight people on the other side were all Lingwu Lord's cultivation level.
"I still need to think about this matter. Now is war time, and I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation."
"It's just because it's wartime, so we must fight quickly. Do you want to continue with the current situation?"
After much thought, Xia Houyuan agreed and acted according to Shangguan Lingyun's plan, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop.
Shangguan Lingyun reassured him that it was impossible for them to survive when they were sleeping one to three late at night.
The King of Tang's troops were in the rear counties, settling the post-war affairs, and were on their way to Lingxia to receive the imperial edict from the Lord of Wei. During the march, they unexpectedly received a letter from their son-in-law.
After reading the letter, it was really unimaginable to him that all the four marshals and eight marshals were his people. Did he want to control all the armies of the Wei State, capture Wei after destroying Qi, and make himself emperor?
Yunyue made it very clear in the letter, asking him and the Eight Marshals of the Four Routes to use the war to destroy the Wei army's Grand Marshal's men, isolate the Wei Jian Sect and seize all military power.
Before he rushed to the Wei army's camp late at night, the four marshals and eight marshals were assassinated by assassins at the same time. He first used incense to see no movement before entering the Chinese army's tent.
But as killers, how could they be so easily killed by the tricks of several killers?
When the killer entered the account, they had already disguised themselves and hid in one place. When the killer stabbed the quilt together, they realized that no one was inside.
After killing one person immediately with the strength of eight people, relying on his own strength and experience as a killer, in the dark night and the timely discovery by his general, he led his troops to surround the entire Chinese military tent.
The remaining killers couldn't escape even if they wanted to, so they could only be killed one by one by eight people in the military tents of each camp.
The eight people ordered the matter to be kept secret. After turning on the lamp, they opened the killer's mask and discovered that it was actually Xia Houyuan and Shangguan Lingyun.
Xia Houyuan's people were easily killed by them, and they had no experience as killers. However, these people from the Sword Sect were definitely former killers, and their methods were exactly the same as those of Shadow.
Guan Feiyu stood beside Shangguan Lingyun, waiting quietly for the results to arrive, but after waiting and waiting, there was still no news.
"Did father fail? This is unlikely. They are all killers capable of killing Lingwu Lord."
"Looking at the current situation, it seems that it has completely failed. So many people have been lost now, but remember that we have to pretend that we don't know anything." Shangguan Lingyun told his son that there was nothing to be afraid of if he failed. The worst he could do was let everything point to him. Xia Houyuan.
There was a report from a disciple outside the tent. After being allowed to enter the tent, he told the king of Tang Dynasty that he had rushed to the military camp without stopping.
Shangguan Lingyun didn't expect that his old acquaintance would arrive from the rear at this time, and he arrived at the right time.
After the King of Tang returned to the military camp, he happened to encounter this incident. Someone actually assassinated the four and eight marshals. This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
If there is a killer sneaking into such a heavily guarded military camp, we must first conduct a comprehensive investigation in the military camp.
Xia Houyuan was very happy when he learned that the king of Tang had returned. When he heard that he wanted to conduct a thorough investigation of the military camp, he deliberately stopped him, thinking that the killer must be someone from Qi.
The four marshals and eight marshals all agreed that the King of Tang was completely encamped. When the King of Tang ordered it, they secretly sent out a large army to surround Xia Houyuan and Shangguan Lingyun.
"The Sect Master is in trouble, we have been surrounded by a large army." An elder came to report.
Shangguan Lingyun did not expect that his plan would be discovered. It seemed that he had to find a way to resolve this crisis.
"Why panic? Go and make a register immediately. Those people have died in the siege. As for the people who assassinated them, I have my own way to deal with it." After Shangguan Lingyun gave the order, when the elder left the camp, he just moved He picked up the ring before standing up and walking out of the tent.
After the King of Tang's efforts, Xia Houyuan's missing men happened to confront the assassins and were captured on the spot by twelve Lingwu Lords.
As for the remaining assassins, when they rushed to the camp of the Secret Sword Sect, they were reported by General Tian, who was under his command. The dead killer suddenly changed beyond recognition, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison.
King Tang and the Eight Marshals of the Four Routes felt troubled, but they still had to go anyway. The Chang Wei Jian Sect was indeed short of sixteen people.
However, Shangguan Lingyun asked someone to bring a book, indicating that the sixteen people had died in the siege, leaving everyone in the Tang Dynasty helpless and had to withdraw the army.
After this night, the King of Tang completely took over the position of generalissimo and rectified the army to become a monolith.
Shangguan Lingyun and his son never imagined that their plan would fail because they missed that link.
Now they have been suspected. It can be said that one mistake made them lose the whole game. Qi State has already lost one game, and it happened again in Wei State.
Shangguan Lingyun knew that now he could only resort to dangerous tactics, so he secretly ordered his son to quietly leave the camp overnight and rush to the Wei capital to control the Wei master as soon as possible and then assemble the army.
He secretly mobilized 100,000 troops from various counties to block news from the rear. When the time comes, he will kill them all in Xichuan, and the White Tiger Continent will be their world.
Guan Feiyu had always hidden his identity in the Wei army and turned it into an inconspicuous identity. He quietly left the Wei army camp that night.
With King Tang in control of the entire army, he launched an attack on Lingxia early the next morning, and the city was defeated in less than a few hours.
Tian Heng had already anticipated this and brought most of his troops to Jiutai County in advance, otherwise the Wei army would not have broken the city so quickly.
At this moment, Tian Heng had already mobilized the defenders of Xichuan and Baihu Pass, and assembled an army of 1.5 million to prepare for a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Under the leadership of the King of Tang, the Wei army reorganized its army after capturing Lingxia County, and had learned of Tian Heng's intentions.
Now the two armies have begun to confront each other in Lingxia and Jiutai counties. The Wei army has 1.3 million troops, plus the nearly 100,000 troops of the Guijian Sect, the total is only 1.4 million troops.
On the contrary, the Qi army had 1.5 million troops, and they still couldn't get out of the city. The Wei army had no choice but to stay in the city and couldn't get out.
After all, once a war breaks out, the Sword Sect will be an unstable factor, especially after investigation.
It turned out that Shangguan Duyun's true identity was revealed. The king of Tang wanted to immediately send troops to surround and kill him, but he had to endure it.
Once they confront Shangguan Lingyun, the Qi army will definitely know to launch a counterattack. By then, they will really be in danger and lose more than they gain.
Now he has to notify his son-in-law and mobilize his forces to reinforce him. All he can do is wait for the opportunity.
