"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Jiang Li, you have succeeded, why don't you let me go? I need to take a bath, it's so sticky!"
In the spacious house in the backyard of the military office, Hong Ling Tuan huddled in the corner, whimpering and crying, weak and helpless.
Tears fell down, pitifully, the bound demon body looked haggard and weak.
The fiery red fluffy tail looked like it had been ravaged by a storm, hanging weakly behind it.
"Although I have left a mark on your soul, it is easy for others to misunderstand you!"
Jiang Li held his hand, and the bones of Qi Pang Emperor disappeared immediately and appeared in the mental altar, suspended around the soul together with the golden pages, the mysterious cauldron and the martial arts bones.
The golden pages hang at the top, suppressing everything.
"There's no one here, and besides, my monster body was swallowed by a black dog, and the stench of dog smell all over me is unbearable!"
Hong Ling twisted her body hard, and the red rope wrapped around her body squeaked.
Damn Black Dog, this red rope was a magic weapon she cultivated herself, but Black Dog snatched it away. While her soul was subdued by the magic knife, the mark of telepathy on it was erased.
"Wow, I saved your life, and you're not grateful but scold me instead? You're really a wolf with a heart and a fox's heart."
The big black dog worked hard on a large piece of silver-scaled dragon fish meat, and his mouth watered when he chewed it. Hearing Hong Ling's complaint and disgust, he raised his head and barked in anger.
If he hadn't swallowed Hong Ling's demon body in advance, Jiang Li's slash would have forced half of the blood essence out of Hong Ling's demon body.
Unlike the big black dog's Taoist and martial arts, the fox clan's physical body is innately weak and not suitable for tempering and strengthening.
Hong Ling is a great demon in the body-stealing realm, but his body is not much stronger than that of an ordinary lion or tiger.
Unable to withstand the intimidation of Demon Sword Rentu.
During the battle, many monsters with weak bodies will choose to hide their bodies in a safe and secret place, and directly travel as ghosts to participate in the battle.
"If I don't scold you, how can I thank you?" Hong Ling trembled angrily, baring four pointed fangs.
"Hong Ling, the Fox Demon King did not hesitate to offend the Zhou royal family. He visited the palace at night to steal Pan Emperor's bones. The plot must be quite big. Why are Pan Emperor's bones still preserved by you big monsters to this day?"
Jiang Li has always had a question in his mind since he discovered that there was a piece of Pandi's remains hidden in the big black dog.
The remains of Emperor Pan are magical and mysterious, and have extraordinary effects. They are definitely regarded as rare treasures in the world. If used properly, their value is immeasurable.
The Fox Demon King tried his best to steal five bones, but instead of taking them back immediately, they left them in the hands of a few big demons, which was totally against common sense.
"Xiaohong, Golden Spider died in Zhenwuhou Mansion, and the remains he was responsible for transporting disappeared mysteriously. I went to Shengjing City to inquire about the news, but was knocked down by the masters in the Yinwu Pavilion of Wuhou Mansion, and the remains failed to be returned to the demon. King, it’s understandable!”
The big black dog also asked: "But you have been cultivating under the Demon King's throne since you were a child. Why didn't you hand over the bones? Could it be that you are also greedy?"
"Nonsense, I didn't!"
Hong Ling immediately denied it. She stared at the black dog angrily for a while, but the fierceness in her body suddenly leaked out, and her tears fell again. "My king is missing. Lao Lu and I have been looking for it all day long." It’s been half a year, and I’ve recently gotten some sporadic clues, so come to Northland to try your luck!”
"Woof?"
The big black dog was stunned when he heard this, "How could the Fox Demon King disappear? She is not one of those unreliable demon kings? It's impossible to give up halfway after planning something for so long!
Was he caught? The nine-tailed fox lineage is cunning, ever-changing, and the best at escaping. Even if they are two or three realms higher than her, they may not be able to catch her. There are not many existences in this world that can trap her! "
"I don't know either. On that day, my king scattered the remains for us to take out of Shengjing. We originally agreed to meet up in seven days, but Lao Lu and I arrived at the agreed place and waited for three full months, but we still didn't see my king. Figure!"
Hong Ling shook his head slumped and sighed, "After Lao Lubu calculated and inquired from many parties, he set his sights on Liangzhou in the north. I smelled your scent when passing by Lishan Mountain. Lao Lu continued to search north, and I followed the smell to catch you. You, but I never wanted to be betrayed by you!"
Talking about the sad part, I started crying again.
"But it's weird. What happened to the Fox Demon King!"
The big black dog shook his head and continued to exert force on the dried fish.
"Hongling, you have my mark in your soul. If you don't want to die an unexpected death, just stay in the barrier city. Dahei, help me keep an eye on her!"
Jiang Li felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Although he has mastered the divine power of Tiangang and has the magic sword to kill people, he is not really able to sit back and relax.
When encountering a body-stealing monster like Hong Ling with a weak body, he might be able to suppress it with the sword intent of Demon Sword Rentu.
But for warriors above the realm of divine transformation, even if they have a magic sword in hand, it is difficult for them to compete.
After all, the Demon Sword only recognized his aura, rather than truly surrendering.
There is only the last Xuan Lei Tian Breath Talisman left, which is not enough to kill beings above Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal.
And the Fox Demon King is at least in the realm of a calamity ghost and immortal, and one finger can crush him to pieces without leaving any residue.
"My strength is still too weak. Although the four branches of Qi, Martial Arts, Taoism, and Confucianism are involved, I don't have the realm of any of them to break through the level of the Holy Class!"
"Four-line practitioners are certainly powerful, but they will distract energy and time. In the future, perhaps we should focus on one of the lines until we have power comparable to that of a saint!"
Jiang Li walked out of the room, thinking about the direction of practice. When he looked up, he saw Shangguan Qingyan standing under the eaves looking at him.
The woman is wearing a light green dress that reaches the floor. Her long, fine black hair is draped over her shoulders. She is slightly feminine. Her slender waist is restrained by a cloud belt and cannot be held tight. Her face is cold and guarded, and she looks at her with a pair of phoenix eyes, her eyes strange and... Complex and full of scrutiny.
"Is there a woman in your room? I think I heard crying!"
"She shouldn't be considered a woman!"
"Hypocrite, do you dare to act like this?"
"I misunderstood, she's really not a woman, um, she's a female monster!"
"Let me tell you, the smell smells a bit weird. I didn't expect you to have this hobby. What kind of it is it?"
"fox!"
"……hehe"
"Shangguan Qingyan, what's your expression?"
"It's nothing, just whatever you think it is!"
"..."
Jiang Li was unable to argue. He had been born in two lifetimes and naturally knew what kind of label a woman would place on him. He would never be able to tell clearly by just speaking.
It can only be proven by facts.
He walked towards Shangguan Qingyan, whose face was getting colder, intending to take her to the room to have a clear look, but the sky above his head suddenly darkened.
The two of them looked up and saw a large bird with wings stretching nearly ten feet descending from the sky and landing in the square in front of the military office.
"The fourth prince is back!"
Jiang Li's heart moved, and he turned around and walked towards the front yard.
Shangguan Qingyan glanced at the closed door and the faint sound of crying coming from inside, her eyes flashed, she stamped her feet in annoyance, and left with a puff of sleeves.
…
"Jiang Li, after seeing each other for a few days, I am impressed by the appearance of the new army in Zhancheng City!"
In front of the military office, the Nine Nether Flame Bird fluttered its wings and landed. Its huge body, its wings folded, stirred up the airflow, and earth and rocks flew up.
Sima Ye jumped off Yanque's back with six Taoist martial arts masters. He was full of energy and energetic, and strode towards Jiang Li.
This is the first time Sima Ye has returned to Shengjing since he was sent to the Liangzhou camp in the north six years ago after having a dispute with his father in the court.
Emperor Jing's first words when he saw him were teasing, and he asked him, "Did you conquer the land of Yunjing this time when you returned to Beijing? Why haven't I seen the congratulatory report until now?"
But after hearing that Sima Ye had brought complete basic Qi techniques and that Linghe Fort had collaborated with the enemies of the surviving clan of the former Wei Dynasty, the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately straightened up.
The father and son talked in secret for three days and three nights before formulating a preliminary plan, and urgently summoned the Twelve Ministers and the cabinet's academicians to the palace for discussion until yesterday when they decided on a new military strategy.
Sima Ye met his mother and concubine in a hurry, and immediately set off to return to the north, coming to see Jiang Li as soon as possible.
"My father praised you very much and said that your merits are worthy of the title of Marquis. No first-class Marquis can match your achievements!"
Sima Ye and Jiang Li sat in the lobby of the military yamen, with joyful expressions on their faces: "The imperial court has decided on a strategy. In the near future, they will select capable veterans in the army who are suitable for practicing Qi meridians, conduct unified training, and teach the methods of Qi meridians practice. They will implement them with strong commands. We won’t tell them the truth about the integrity of Qi pulse in the early stage!”
Sima Ye geared up and said eagerly, "Our Liangzhou Camp is one of the four armies attacking Beimang in the Northern Expedition. It is also the place where the Qi Meridian inheritance was first spread and experimented.
"In just a few months, the military strength will inevitably double. Not only will we invade Beimang, our chances of winning will be greatly increased. It is not impossible to completely eradicate Beimang and regain the two far northern states!"
"Your Highness means that the Northern Expedition will be postponed?" Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
"Well, according to my father's arrangement, the official Northern Expedition will be postponed for two months. However, in order to prevent Beimang from being suspicious, a small number of elite troops will be deployed to fight deep in Beimang to create panic and attract King Mang's attention!"
Sima Ye nodded and said: "My father has agreed to your proposal. In order to ensure your safety, there will be experts coming to the North to cooperate with your deployment tasks!"
"Where is Linghe Fort? How does the Holy One plan to deal with it?" Jiang Li suddenly asked.
"Of course it's a thunderous method, and it will be destroyed silently!"
Sima Ye sneered, with a murderous aura coming out of his body, "As a Great Zhou sect, you actually colluded with the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty. If you hadn't discovered it in time, the Great Zhou foundation would have been destroyed, and it was very likely that it would fall into a place of eternal destruction.
"Marquis Wu took the initiative to ask for help, and my father has already prepared. At this moment, the thirty thousand elite Zhou Dynasty elites and many Taoist martial arts masters should have left the capital. In less than five days, there will be no Linghe Castle in the world!"
"Jiang Shirong really intervened!"
Jiang Li laughed secretly, not surprised by Jiang Shirong's choice.
Since he has a close relationship with Xi Yingying, there are probably clues in Linghe Castle.
Jiang Shirong can better erase all traces by taking action himself.
As for the half-picture of the dragon crane that Xi Yingying asked Jiang Xinbai to hand over, I am afraid she will also take this opportunity to clear it and hand it over.
"Jiang Li, because the inheritance of Qi is so important, your reward will have to be postponed for some time. My father asked me to tell you that neither the imperial court nor my father will let you down for your loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Sima Ye carefully took out a small wooden box from his arms and placed it on the table next to Jiang Li with a solemn expression.
"Jiang Li, this contains two of the nine inherited secret techniques of the Great Zhou royal family. One is called "The Wrath of the Wild Sky", which is a secret technique that doubles the strength of the physical body at the cost of consuming blood!
The other is the secret martial art body-building method "Flame Bird Feather Transformation Technique" that only the prince of the Zhou Dynasty can practice! "
Sima Ye took a deep breath and said: "In the more than eighty years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family has inherited and rewarded foreign surnames. This is the first time!
"Father knows that your spirit has been deposed by Marquis Wu, but it is not appropriate to intervene in the dispute between your father and son. I hope you can understand that even if you are a monarch, you cannot control everything!"
In the military office, Sima Ye and Jiang Li conducted a more detailed analysis and arrangement on the future deployment arrangements of the Liangzhou camp, then stood up and left in a hurry.
As the chief officer of the Liangzhou camp, he cannot leave the camp for a long time. Only by sitting in charge of the camp can hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the three provinces feel at ease.
"The Nine Secret Inheritances of the Great Zhou Royal Family, "Wrath of the Wild Sky" and "Flaming Bird Feathering Technique"!"
After Sima Ye left, Jiang Li opened the wooden box and placed two red albums quietly inside it.
Although Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty started at a young age, he had constant adventures and prosperous fortunes throughout his life. He was classified as a secret not to be passed down by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its value is by no means weaker than the "Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and "Taiyan Ancient Demon Body Refining Chapter" 》!
…
Linghe Castle is one of the ten registered sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has been established for 300 years. The inheritance of Taoism and martial arts has its own uniqueness, and its ranking is not low.
Since the establishment of the sect, there have been tens of thousands of warriors who have come out of his sect. They have luxuriant roots and numerous followers, and they have a good reputation and status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are many people from the Linghe Fort who hold important positions in the army, and there are countless officials of the general banner and hundreds of households.
Especially in the past ten years, Linghe Castle has developed rapidly, and many children from powerful families have come to practice in it, including the two daughters of Marquis Zhenwu.
But three hundred years of prosperity came to an abrupt end on this night.
Thirty thousand elite Zhou soldiers arrived from nowhere. Wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons, they rushed into the mountain gate on horseback.
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, regardless of identity or reason, swept across, crushed and slaughtered everything.
The mountain gate, which covers an area of dozens of miles, was ablaze overnight, and the heads of thousands of Linghe Fort gatekeepers piled up outside the mountain gate like a hill.
Only then did the soldiers count and identify themselves one by one according to the roster.
In the deepest part of the mountain gate of Linghe Fort, in a large hall, the corpses of more than a dozen old men of high status were lying scattered.
From the embroidery of the sky crane intertwined with gold and jade on their bodies, we can know that these people are the most senior and most powerful elders in Linghe Castle, including the previous two generations of Linghe Sect Masters.
Everyone's breath was cut off and they were all killed with one punch.
"Why, why did the Holy One order the entire family of Linghe Fort to be destroyed? Are you the Marquis of Zhenwu? You are indeed very strong. My mother told me about your deeds day and night. The nineteen Supreme Elders of Linghe Fort actually... It’s no match for a punch!”
A handsome boy of 13 or 14 years old, holding the body of the previous Linghe Sect leader and his grandfather, with blood in his eyes, glared at Marquis Wu, "If there is an afterlife, I will kill you, no matter how strong you are, I I will also trample you under my feet!”
"Are you the child with a special constitution?"
The cold and merciless eyes of Zhenwu Marquis Jiang Shirong looked at the sad and angry young man in the palace. His spirit and will were concentrated in his eyes, and he instantly penetrated the young man's clothes and saw all his bones and blood.
"Nine Jue Pulses, Tianqi Sect, Yingying involved the entire Linghe Castle because of you, and eventually caused the disaster? Although it is stupid, it may not be unworthy!"
Jiang Shirong waved his hand and threw a set of ordinary Great Zhou sergeant's clothes and armor in front of the young man, and said coldly: "I am Lord Wu of Great Zhou Zhen, and I am also your biological father. If you don't want the thousands of lives of Linghe Fort to be wasted for you, Sacrifice, put on your armor and leave with me.
The Qi Meridian inheritance is about to appear, and the world may be yours in the future. Remember, from today on, your name is no longer Xi Muchuan, your name is Jiang Buli. You are my descendant left behind among the people. Linghe Castle has nothing to do with you anymore! "
There will be another chapter later
