"Ten years at most."
"In ten years at most, the Zhao family will clear out half of the south side of Yunmengze. At that time, other forces who see the opportunity will swarm in."
"When the time comes, there will be no place for demons in Yunmengze."
This is the most widely circulated rumor in Nanze Pass, and many direct descendants of the Zhao family are involved.
Everyone can see a bright future, and most of them may get rid of their status as casual cultivators and occupy a place in Yunmengze.
As for the Zhao family, their enthusiasm is even greater. The birth of the three immortal magic species Golden Lotus gave them insatiable greed.
"If we can capture the entire Nanze, I'm afraid it won't be long before we surpass the Jinlan Sect, right?"
Standing on the wall of the border gate, a monk from the Zhao family thought so.
Looking at the watery land outside, his eyes showed desire. The more resources the family obtains, the more resources they disciples can have, and the greater the chance of building a foundation.
No one can resist such temptation.
In a daze, the Zhao family monk saw a black spot in the distance getting bigger and bigger, followed by more and more black spots.
"What happened?" His eyes bloomed with green light, trying to see clearly the scene in the distance.
However, what was faster than him was the expansion of those black spots, and he discovered the appearance of those black spots almost immediately.
That was a person, building his foundation and galloping in the sky, practicing his Qi and running wildly on the ground, and there were many members of the Zhao family among them.
"What happened?" It was not just the Zhao family disciple who noticed this scene, but also the other defenders on the city wall.
When he didn't know why, the foundation building in the distance was approaching, and the look of fear on his face was clearly visible.
"Quick! Inform the elders to set up a formation!"
"The demons counterattacked, the front line was defeated, and all 300,000 people became the prey of the demons."
The first sentence made people confused, but the latter sentence made everyone tremble.
In order to attack the south of Yunmengze, the Zhao family added 500,000 troops to the original 1.2 million defenders at Nanze Pass. In the past six months, nearly 2 million soldiers had lost 1.2 million.
Now it's three hundred thousand less? Or during a battle?
In the huge border gate, the bells were ringing continuously, and all the foundation-building monks were forced into the sky.
"Dong'ang, what happened?" A steady old man from the Zhao family asked in a deep voice as he looked at Zhao Dong'ang who had returned in fear.
The fear in Zhao Dongang's eyes had not completely dissipated, and he told everything he knew when he heard the old man's question.
"We were attacked by monsters under Mount Ashan. There were monsters from all directions, too many to count. The army of 300,000 mortals couldn't hold on and was scattered."
"Not only the numbers, but the strength of the demons are also different. A small number of them are already able to fight head-on with members of the family."
What is a small number of demons out of hundreds of thousands?
Everyone in the sky fell silent, and the old man then asked: "Where is the ancestor?"
Zhao Dongang shook his head, "I don't know, my ancestor was besieged by several demons, but I think there's nothing wrong with it."
"No problem?" The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhao Dongang angrily, "If something happens to our ancestor, all our plans this year will be wiped out, and all of us here will have to go back in despair."
"The whole Yunmengze will see our Zhao family's jokes, you tell me it's okay?"
After finishing speaking, the old man no longer cared about Zhao Dongang and turned back to the city lord's mansion in Nanzeguan.
"Awaken the Chaotian Stick to assist the ancestor, and make sure the ancestor returns safely!"
Soon, a flash of green light rushed into the distant sky, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the sky.
However, what the people of Nanzeguan were waiting for was not the ancestor of the Zhao family, but an overwhelming demon that was like a howling dark cloud.
"Something happened." Countless people looked at the countless ferocious monsters with pale faces.
"Notify Mushan immediately."
Light enveloped the border gate, and a bloody fight bloomed in the bright red blood.
However, what frightened everyone was that the drooping dragon head under the sea of clouds in the sky was spitting out thunder.
…
After more than a year, the five ancestors of the Zhang family and some elders of the clan gathered together again.
This time there is no Zhang Baiyu, but Zhang Qing still has a place. Reading books
"Three days ago, I received a letter from Zhao Jingmu, saying that the south was lost."
"In the past year, the Zhao family used bamboo baskets to fetch water. More than two million mortals in Nanzeguan were slaughtered by demons."
Zhang Shenling's face was solemn, obviously this news was beyond everyone's expectation.
"What are you doing? Isn't the Zhao family in Kaijiang? Why are you beaten like this by demons? More than two million mortals..." A clan elder scolded the Zhao family with anger, while most of the others remained silent.
"The Zhao family does not like to underestimate the enemy. We have suffered a lot from making plans and then taking action. The problem should not lie with the Zhao family." Zhang Shenyuan opened his mouth and analyzed.
"That's a demon. How can the demon in Yunmengze have the strength to do this?" The one who spoke was Zhang Shenxiang, the ancestor of the Fourth House.
"If the demon in Yunmengze can't do it, then there are demons other than Yunmengze."
Zhang Qing's eyes moved slightly, "If it is a demon other than Yunmengze, could it be related to Xianyue City?"
"Xianyue City is close to the west of Yunmengze, a little far from the south."
"But if something happens to Xianyue City, it won't be their family's problem? Xianyue City shouldn't be alone in the million-dollar mountain, right?"
"But they still ran to Yunmengze like bereaved dogs."
After hearing Zhang Qing's words, everyone started thinking.
"If Xianyue City is not an exception, then what happened in the Million Mountains may not be as simple as we thought."
"If Xianyue City can appear in Yunmengze, there will be no surprise for the demons."
"It's just that the Zhao family has borne the price."
"It's not a good thing for demons to appear in Yunmengze. Zhao Jingmu asked us to support the south. Jinlan Sect and several others have also notified us, so do you want to help with this matter?"
"Nanze Pass is still a long way from the city where mortals live. Demons will not appear in a short time. My suggestion is to wait and see for a while. As for the Zhao family, we can give some elixirs and talismans."
Zhang Shenwen did not support the monks' support. There were so many demons, and if the Zhang family had a few disciples inside, the loss would be unbearable.
What's more, he also knows that the family is now considering a retreat other than Yun Mengze, and retaining strength is the most important thing.
"I suggest supporting the Zhao family. If the demon drives straight in, it will be uncontrollable. Even if we have to wait and see, it will not be until Nanze Pass is back in our hands."
"In addition, we are not sure yet about the strength of the demon. If he is involved, there is still a chance to reach into the south. The Zhao family has already lost. They will not be able to eat alone again."
"Recently, we have recruited a lot of mortals with spiritual roots in Jiang Country, and we also need resources to cultivate them."
Finally, Zhang Shenling stood up.
"Let's just settle this matter, but how to do it needs to be discussed carefully."
