As the black smoke dissipated, the pile of corpses also returned to calm, and the terrifying roaring and crying sounds could no longer be heard.
Suddenly, a white spirit emerged from a corpse and floated into the air. Ye Fangcun was overjoyed when he saw it. He smiled excitedly and said: "If there is one, there will be two, come out!"
As if cooperating with Ye Fangcun's words, after the first soul appeared, countless souls rushed out like troublemakers who escaped from the cage.
Although the 10,000 Blood God Army soldiers were defeated in Sanxiang City, the corpses left behind were only about 3,000, of which the Blood God Guards accounted for the majority. In fact, there were not many Blood God Generals who died here.
At this time, the number of souls emerging from the corpses was much more than three thousand. It could be clearly seen that the corpses appearing on the corpses of the Blood God Generals were much larger than those of the Blood God Guards.
When all the souls flew into the air and disappeared, the corpses burned. The flames were extremely fierce and soon burned the pile of corpses to ashes.
Xiang Wentian's face was ugly. He looked at the ashes blown away by the wind and murmured to himself: "Is the salvation over?"
Ye Fangcun nodded lightly and said: "It's over..."
Xiang Wentian frowned. He thought for a while before he said: "There are far more souls than corpses. I originally thought that the Blood God Army only devoured human bodies, but now it seems that it is more than that. These Blood God Army are everywhere. So weird!"
Ye Fangcun was also worried, and he said with a bitter look on his face: "Wentian, it seems that these Blood God Army can even devour souls and even imprison other people's souls in their bodies. This is not only the annihilation of human nature, it can be said that It’s going against heaven!”
Xiang Wentian clenched his fists and said angrily: "What a King Wu Zhao! Not long ago, I rescued several Liangzhou people on the border. I learned from them that Wu Zhao was hunting people in Liangzhou to cultivate the Blood God Army. Now it seems that Wu Zhao is really courageous, not only killing people, but also not sparing their souls!"
Ye Fangcun lamented without saying a word. The information he received one after another this day was so shocking that it was difficult for him, a young Taoist priest who had lived in Shidao Mountain for a long time, to accept it...
Xiang Wentian said firmly: "Brother Ye, I have made a decision, and I vow to destroy the damn Wu Zhao!"
Ye Fangcun also said excitedly: "I'll help you!"
"It's a deal!" Xiang Wentian said and stretched out his right hand.
"Until death lasts!" Ye Fangcun understood immediately and extended his right hand to hold Xiang Wentian's hand tightly. The friendship between them has deepened a lot because of this agreement. Men's friendship is often that simple.
"Hahaha, I, Xiang Wentian, like to make friends with righteous people the most. Although I have been recommended by saints, we have only known each other for a short time. I have not been very close to you, Brother Ye, in the past few days. After today, I think you and I will definitely become Best friends in life and death!" Xiang Wentian said proudly.
Ye Fangcun also laughed and said: "I am just a small person who has lived in Shidao Mountain for a long time. Today, thanks to His Highness Prince Shun, he thinks so highly of me. I will definitely live up to his friendship!"
Xiang Wentian waved his hand and said: "Brother Ye, don't belittle yourself, you and I will have a few drinks in a while!"
Ye Fangcun cupped his fists and made a salute gesture in the martial arts world and said: "I will stay with you until the end!"
At this time, the two of them were not like a prince and a Taoist priest, but more like two heroes who made friends with each other.
Dashun's army was rigorous in running the army. Under the leadership of Zhang Jian and Yan Fan, the soldiers outside Sanxiang City quickly took care of everything.
More than 10,000 people were killed by the defenders of Sanxiang City, and their bodies were brought back to the city and handed over to their families for burial.
The Dragon Elephant Army cavalry are heavy armored cavalry. Their combat power is outstanding. Although individual soldiers are not the Blood God Army, they are not comparable to the City Guards. Soon after these elite cavalry took action, the Blood God Army began to flee. They The losses were not large, only a few hundred people.
These corpses were put into bags made of horsehide, and would then be taken back to their hometowns by the robesmen. Returning them wrapped in horsehide was both an honor and a sorrow.
There are bound to be casualties in war. It is sad to see Paoze die, but a great victory is also worthy of celebration. Since Xiang Wentian brought wine and food to reward him, the soldiers naturally began to set up stoves and prepare food outside the city.
Xiang Wentian and Xiang Wentian were not idle after their conversation. They came to Sanxiang City.
In the gate tower of the south gate of Sanxiang City, Xiang Wentian appeared here again wearing armor. The halberd and bow on his back were full of domineering, and the quiver full of black iron arrows seemed too ordinary.
Only Ye Fangcun was followed behind him, not even Zhang Jian or Yan Fan.
There were some people gathered in a big room in the gatehouse. They were the righteous warriors who came to support Sanxiang City today.
After a great battle, less than twenty of the more than thirty people were left, with more than half of them being casualties. This was because of their strong individual strength, otherwise it would not be impossible for them to be annihilated here.
Two people were lying on a simple wooden bed in the gatehouse. One of them was the leader of this group of people, Huo Dali, the head of the Broadsword Sect. He was already awake, but his injuries were serious and he was temporarily unable to move.
The other one was Fan Jiuxi, a young genius disciple of Chiyang Sect, but this one did not wake up and was still in a coma.
Everyone present was very excited when they saw Xiang Wentian's arrival. Even Jian Suxin, a beautiful woman with a somewhat cold temper who was standing in front of Fan Jiuxi's bed, stood up with a look of surprise on her face.
The old man Yucrow, who was also unconscious not long ago, is not here now. The old man has woken up not long ago. After learning that the battle in Sanxiang City was won, the old man turned into a cloud of crows and disappeared.
Before leaving, Old Man Yuya left a message: "There is always a balance between good and evil in the world. In times of crisis, we may be able to work together in times of crisis. In times of peace, we still have to be self-aware. I will not embarrass you heroes!"
His words made the martial arts masters who came here a little uncomfortable, but no one said anything to stop the old man, not even Huo Dali, who had experienced life and death together and was even rescued by the old man. He just looked a little uncomfortable and opened his mouth but didn't. Really speak up.
After seeing Xiang Wentian and the others, everyone clasped their fists and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Even Huo Dali stood up to greet him. When Xiang Wentian saw this, he hurriedly said: "You are all righteous men who have stood up for me, Shun. You don't need to be polite. Huo Daxia, you are an elder, so there is no need to be polite!"
Huo Dali was a little excited and said: "Huo is flattered that His Highness the Crown Prince can come to see us... If His Highness hadn't taken action, we would have been here today!"
"Thank you for saving your life, Your Highness!" The sword-wielding ranger named Fan Ying knelt down on one knee and took the lead in saluting.
Everyone followed suit and saluted and shouted.
Xiang Wentian hurriedly stepped forward to help Fan Ying up and said, "You don't need to thank me. I should thank you all."
He paused and continued: "I have ordered people to collect the bodies of those martyrs who died in the battle. If relatives and friends want to take them away and bury them, I have no objection. However, if there is no such intention, Shun will give them the highest courtesy of death in battle." A generous burial! Shirts and money will also be distributed to the soldiers!"
Xiang Wentian's words made the martial arts masters present a little surprised. You must know that these things are easier said than done. To obtain death treatment for a group of martial arts masters who are not in the army, if any general in the army dares to do this, he must obtain military law. Disposal is not possible.
Apart from King Shun, the only one in the entire Shun Dynasty who could do this was the eldest son Xiang Wentian. The other eldest sons and princesses did not receive such treatment.
The martial arts masters once again chanted words of thanks.
Xiang Wentian had no choice but to speak again to calm everyone down.
"Now Shun is facing the invasion of Wu Zhao. Are you willing to join my army of Shun?" Xiang Wentian extended an olive branch to the masters in the world.
Huo Dali took the lead and said: "Your Highness, we are used to being wild and rough. If we join the army and there are so many rules, we really can't adapt to it. Let's forget about it!"
"The leader is right. After joining the army, there are many people supervising you. It's really frustrating!"
"That's right, as the saying goes, after three years in the army, a sow competes with a fairy. I don't even have a woman, so you might as well just chop me up!" A man with a somewhat wretched face glanced at Jian Suxin and said.
"Tch, you just went to the brothel for a few moments. Those ladies who paid the money will naturally not dislike you. Can you stand it if you are such a good woman?" Immediately, another expert started to cheer. road.
The more people spoke, the more outrageous they became, and their words contained the meaning of rejection.
Xiang Wentian, however, still looked confident. He smiled calmly and said: "Don't be too busy to refuse. I am recruiting you this time not on behalf of the entire Great Shun Army, but on behalf of the Dragon Elephant Army and myself!"
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Huo Dali, who had been shaking his head and sighing just now, immediately lit up his eyes when he heard this, and his complexion looked better.
Not just him, all the martial arts masters present stopped complaining, but pricked up their ears and waited quietly for Xiang Wentian's next words, even Jian Suxin was no exception.
"I, Xiang Wentian, invite you all to join the Dragon Elephant Army today and become my personal guards!" Xiang Wentian said angrily.
His smile was even brighter at this time, and he looked very cheerful.
There was silence in the big room, and no one spoke. Huo Dali swallowed hard and said, "Your Highness, you didn't even investigate the origins of this group of reckless people, and you took us under your command so easily?"
Xiang Wentian said confidently: "I have always been very accurate in judging people. To trust you is to believe in myself. What's more, even if some of you really have problems, what can you do to me!"
Such domineering words even sounded a little conceited, but what Xiang Wentian said was extremely convincing.
Hearing a bang, Huo Dali turned over and fell to the ground. He knelt down on the ground with difficulty and shouted loudly: "Huo Dali, the five disciples of the Great Sword Sect, are willing to join His Highness's command, and from now on they will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The rest of the people immediately knelt down on the ground. No one, including Jian Suxin, refused Xiang Wentian's solicitation.
Being directly brought under Xiang Wentian's command, this matter represented the supreme honor in Dashun!
