What happened today has been widely spread, and the world only knows that in less than a month since the crisis in the southern mountains, a great victory has been achieved.
But in fact, this battle took more than two years to prepare.
It was led by the Prince of Zhenyang, with permission from Emperor Daqian, and assisted by Si Tianjian.
Among them, the Chengming Heavenly Master's Mansion, the oldest in the world, uses four gods in the realm of refining gods, eight true traditions of casting cauldrons, hundreds of Taoist masters, and many realms of qi refining to help.
"The situation has been decided. It's time to hand over the military post of commander of the Seventh Mountain."
Lu Wan thought to himself: "Fortunately, I did not neglect my duty. Although there were casualties in this battle, the gains were substantial, and it can be considered a victory."
The reward for the Seventh Army is a matter for the imperial court.
As for Xuantian Guan's disciples, various affiliated forces, and the scattered monks who followed Xuantian Guan's call, Lu Wan needed to personally reward them.
Among them, the outstanding ones can be classified as Xuantian Guanshan Sect.
This time when selecting disciples, the most important thing is their character, followed by their talent.
With this thought in mind, he put away his armor.
He is a suit of armor, a total of sixteen high-quality magic weapons, which are combined together, and they can echo each other to form a protective formation, which is no less than a magic weapon!
"With this treasure, this trip is worthwhile."
Lu Wan thought this and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, outside the tent were the soldiers of the Seventh Mountain.
Led by the deputy commanders, they all knelt down and prostrated themselves.
"Meet the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Get up."
Lu Wan said calmly: "After today, I will no longer be your commander-in-chief."
Everyone had expected it, but their emotions were complicated.
After Lu Wan took over the position of commander-in-chief, few people truly believed in him.
But after this battle, Lu Wan held the gap in the city wall with one sword and fought out with his sword, killing the beasts all the way until he faced the Demon King in the God Refining Realm and killed the three tripod-forging monsters!
As the highest general of the Seventh Mountain, he takes the lead and is not afraid of death!
After experiencing this battle, everyone was finally convinced!
Yuan Li's leadership has been finalized.
The commander-in-chief of the mainland killed the rebel generals, took over the military power of the Seventh Mountain, fought back against the beast tide, and won a great victory!
But after everyone recognized it, the commander-in-chief was about to step down.
"It's not far away. Directly north is Kaiyang Mountain."
Lu Wan laughed and said lightly: "There may be some of you who are dissatisfied with me, or even hostile... But as long as you don't go to Kaiyang Mountain, you won't be able to see me. If you can't see me, you can't be upset!"
Then he raised his hand and said, "But those who are willing to be friends with me can come to Kaiyang Mountain to visit friends in the future. Lu will definitely welcome them!"
When he said this, he looked at the many soldiers with a solemn expression.
Suddenly he bowed and saluted.
"To the south of Kaiyang Mountain is the Seventh Mountain."
"You have been guarding the mountain for many years and have kept the peace and stability of the mountain. It is a great blessing that Lu can be where he is today."
"From now on, I still need to rely on you to guard the south."
"If something unexpected happens, we can also send a message to Kaiyang Mountain."
"After today, although I will step down as the commander-in-chief, I and you will still be on the battlefield, fighting the enemy together in blood!"
——
And in the first mountain city.
King Zhenyang looked solemn and paced back and forth.
He was thinking about the follow-up issues of the Twenty-Four Mountain Defense Line.
The temporary military power that fell into the hands of Chengming Tianshi Mansion and other forces can be easily taken back.
But it is difficult to take back the three mountains handed over to Si Tianjian.
"You can't give up the military power of these three mountains?" Granny Feng said this with complicated eyes.
"I am not reluctant to give up the military power of these three mountains..."
King Zhenyang looked strange and said slowly: "I can't bear to bear the victory!"
This time they won the battle and annihilated millions of birds and animals in the southern mountains, including many monsters.
Twenty great demons have been killed and casted in the cauldron, and there are even three demon kings in the realm of refining gods!
The main line of the Pluto Sect was defeated by the three young masters in one fell swoop, severely damaging its Taoist heritage!
From now on, the southern mountains will be peaceful and stable for at least thirty years.
However, if the defense line of the Twenty-Four Mountains is completely stabilized, he can once again control the military power of the Twenty-Four Mountains, and he can even take the initiative to clean up again and expand the territory.
"My lord, if you have to give up, just give up." Granny Feng sighed.
"These soldiers fought bloody battles, and the results they achieved were thrown away?" King Zhenyang gritted his teeth slightly, vaguely unwilling.
"After all these years, you still haven't been able to clearly define your position." Granny Feng sighed: "You are already the contemporary King of Zhenyang. You are not the fierce general who led his troops to attack and swept across all directions amid thousands of beasts... You should know how to weigh the situation between the imperial courts."
"..." King Zhenyang didn't respond, but his face still couldn't hide the unwillingness and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Grandma Feng pointed to the south and said slowly: "The mountains in the south are all barren mountains and wild ridges. When the territory expands, construction will be carried out, which will cost endless money."
"And over the years, how many natural and earthly treasures and various spiritual creatures have been born in the southern mountains?"
"Even these monsters are actually extremely rare materials... The materials needed for alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, array formation, etc. can all be found from the southern mountains."
"If you kill all the monsters, prevent their reproduction, and occupy the southern mountains, how will the imperial court raise so many treasures?"
"More importantly, His Majesty in the Divine Capital will be even more afraid. Are you cultivating treasures unique to the Zhenyang Palace in the southern mountains?"
After a pause, Granny Feng said again: "What's more important is that his great achievements shocked the master!"
Hearing this, King Zhenyang fell silent again.
As word of this battle spread, the power of Zhenyang Prince's Palace had reached its peak, like the sun was rising!
Not only the people and practitioners in the eight southern regions, but also the entire Daqian Dynasty will spread the news!
The reputation of Zhenyang Palace is enough to make His Majesty even more fearful!
"The reputation is too high and has reached its peak. If the prince no longer has restraint, he will usher in his demise!"
Granny Feng added: "The prince also mentioned before that after this battle, there will be peace and stability for at least thirty years!"
"South of Daqian, there will be no foreign aggression in the next thirty years, but you can completely control the military power in the south, run the business with impregnable strength, and become the overlord of one side. How can your Majesty feel at ease?"
"The military power handed over can be regarded as our previous deal with Si Tianjian, but in fact, it is to stabilize His Majesty's heart!"
Speaking of this, Granny Feng whispered: "The old prince has appeared, representing our Zhenyang Palace. From now on, there will only be the prince..."
King Zhenyang was shocked and his face became extremely ugly.
Although it has been many years since he succeeded to the throne, in the past, he still retained the warm-blooded temperament of a warrior, and did not have too many worries about court affairs and various political struggles.
Because he knew that his father was behind him.
As long as my father is still alive and working hard in the south, there will be no real turmoil.
But maybe from now on, there will no longer be an old prince behind Zhenyang Prince's Mansion.
He will be the only pillar of Zhenyang Palace.
"Your Majesty has been willful for so many years. It's time to take responsibility." Granny Feng said in a low voice.
"Father, are you really unable to survive this fate?" King Zhenyang said in a deep voice.
"No matter whether you can survive this disaster, from now on, you will be the only prince in Zhenyang Palace." Granny Feng said, "If you can't survive this disaster, everything will be lost! If you survive the disaster, Your Majesty will not be willing to do so." I saw an old prince in the Zhenxuan realm..."
Even after passing this calamity, he achieved the realm of Zhenxuan.
The old prince of Zhenyang Palace cannot continue to exist.
There may only be one extremely powerful "Tu Yi Sanren", but there will never be the old prince Li Yitu!
"Father, are you still at the Seventh Mountain?"
"He doesn't want to see you."
"..."
King Zhenyang sighed.
But he didn't know that he was outside the First Mountain City at this moment.
The old prince Li Yitu looked at the mountain city in the distance with sad eyes.
Beside him was the elder of Lei Fa lineage from Chengming Tianshi Mansion.
"Elder Zhou, I heard that the thunder method is the power of heaven, so you are also involved in divination and calculation. Can you do a fortune telling for me?"
"The old prince is at the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm, seeking to break through the true mystery...and the secret threat is even more powerful." Elder Zhou shook his head slightly and said: "It involves too high a level. With my cultivation level, I cannot bear it."
"I have noticed the traces of Lei Zu." The old prince said suddenly.
"Um?"
Elder Zhou was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
He walked aside and was silent for a while.
Suddenly the sky darkened and then became bright again.
Then he turned around and came back with blood coming from the corner of his mouth.
"Strip the bed to your skin."
Elder Zhou only said this and stopped talking.
The old prince sighed: "It turns out to be a bad omen."
After he said this, he leaned close to Elder Zhou's ear and read.
Elder Zhou's pupils suddenly shrank.
"real?"
"real."
"I will return to the mountain immediately and report to the Heavenly Master."
He said this and left in a hurry.
But in the rush, there was a vague sense of escape.
Strip the bed to the skin, and the danger has eroded to the skin.
The legendary demon may be beside Li Yitu.
"It's time to prepare for the funeral."
The old prince said this and headed towards the first mountain city.
Before leaving, let's pay homage to the soldiers who died fighting over the years to resist the monsters in the southern mountains.
Over the years, because he was greedy for life and fearful of death, and hid from the world, the movements in the southern mountains became more frequent, and the casualties of these soldiers also increased year by year.
To this day, the guilt in his heart has reached an extremely deep level.
——
At the same time, in the Hades Sect and the Purgatory Palace.
The current leader of the Pluto Sect, who was at the peak of the God Refining Realm, looked extremely ugly.
He slowly headed towards the back mountain.
After passing through layers of formations, we finally arrived at the cave.
"Sir, is this a little too much?"
"What does the sect master mean by this?"
"In order to successfully send the demon species out, you actually destroyed the main line of my Hades clan, and the three main halls were almost completely annihilated."
"It's worth it." The gentleman's voice came from the cave.
"Is it worth it?" The face of the leader of the Pluto Sect also became ugly: "My Pluto Sect is just hanging on to survive. After this incident, nearly half of it was lost. Do you think it is worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it." The gentleman laughed and said: "I set up the formation in advance, and with the help of the three young masters, I killed all the people in the three halls of the Hades Sect, sacrificed them to the Hades, and got a token. Isn’t it worth it?”
"What token?" Master Pluto looked solemn.
"The position of Impermanence." The teacher said: "Now that Yama is not coming out, and Impermanence reaches the top, I may not be able to compete for a higher rank in the future... This position is prepared for you."
"Huh?" Master Pluto's expression softened, and he suddenly asked: "When will you ascend the throne?"
"Your life is about to end." The teacher said: "When your life is over, your soul will return to the netherworld, and you will become the Yin Commander in one fell swoop, ascending to the impermanent position! But remember, today is different from the past, the old department has long been purged, you have to Prepare in advance, the team in Hades..."
"If my Yin God returns to the underworld, will I be a ghost and god from now on, and will I live in this world forever?" Pluto Sect Leader asked again.
"If there is no catastrophe, this should be the case." Mr. said.
"What if there is no catastrophe?" The leader of Pluto was shocked.
"Under the catastrophe, all the past immortals and gods will be destroyed, let alone the ghosts and gods in the dark world?" the gentleman sighed.
"I see."
After the Pluto Sect Master finished speaking, he slowly retreated.
But the Yin Qi here is confused.
It was silent for an unknown amount of time.
Only then did I hear sighs coming from the cave.
"I'm not going out."
"..."
The yin energy gathered and condensed into an illusory figure, and he sighed: "I have been staring at you for a long time. Every time... you trapped yourself in a cage in the layers of killing arrays, so why bother?"
"You wanted to eat me, so I had to build a cage and trap myself in it."
The gentleman in the cave also sighed and said, "It seems like many years have passed."
"Your killing formation has been stacked up hundreds of times. It will take about another hundred years."
The illusory figure said: "Even now, even if an immortal comes to this world, he won't be able to kill you."
"Aren't you just the 'gods and demons' in this world?"
The gentleman laughed, and when he said this, his tone was actually quite cheerful.
At this time, the illusory figure spoke again.
"The prey I was eyeing has been hiding for a long time, but I can't find any trace of it. It must be an old guy from Chengming Tianshi Mansion who helped him."
"This time, he showed up."
"I've got my eye on him."
"He can't run away anymore. I'm just waiting for him to take another step forward and the fruit will ripen."
"But there's a guy I'm afraid of."
That illusory figure said so.
The gentleman seemed to understand and said, "That Headmaster Xuantian who has never shown up and is hidden in mystery?"
"This new headmaster Xuantian can't find the past, the present, or the future."
The illusory figure said faintly: "He is probably of the same kind as us! Therefore, I am afraid that this time the prey will choose Kaiyang Mountain, a place where fruits are ripe!"
The gentleman thought for a moment and then asked: "What do you mean?"
The illusory figure spoke again and said: "You are well versed in ancient and modern classics, involved in various fields, and have outstanding achievements. I am here to ask you to divine a divination for me."
"It is rare for a hunter to seek advice from his prey."
"If you agree, I won't come looking for you for a hundred years."
"Throughout the ages, demons have been the most cunning. How can I trust you?"
"You released the demon seed in an attempt to create a demon!" This illusory figure suddenly became angry and said, "If the demon becomes successful, he will definitely come and eat me! Now that I can't find the whereabouts of the demon seed, I can only choose to eat Li Yitu. I will have to eat him afterwards." Strive for power and devour Yu Shenjun as soon as possible, I have no time to pay attention to you anymore."
"That's true!" the gentleman responded.
"If you don't do this, I will definitely not spare you." The illusory figure continued: "I can't eat you, the devil will definitely break the formation and devour you! As long as I am by your side, you will be affected by the devil. s concern!"
"It makes sense."
The gentleman's voice came from inside, and after a moment, he slowly said: "Even if there is no danger of a deer, if you go into the forest, a gentleman will be reluctant to give up and be stingy."
"You mean that I should no longer consider devouring Li Yitu and can only give it up?"
"That seems to be the case, unless you find the 'Yu Guan' it symbolizes."
"Where is Mr. Yu?"
"Si Tianjian."
"..."
The illusive figure gradually dissipated.
——
At the same time, the seventh mountain city.
Lu Wan sorted out what he had gained.
He made great contributions and was heavily rewarded.
Many of these rewards have not yet been given, but some have already been transferred from the Twenty-Four Mountain Cities.
Among them, what pleased Lu Wan the most was the extremely rare fire-based spiritual objects... He had collected them all in the treasury of Twenty-Four Mountain City, and he had finally gathered them all.
In addition, Xuantian Guan is still collecting spiritual objects, so they may be able to complete them.
"This time I return to the mountain, all eight Taoist platforms are safe!"
Lu Wan thought to himself: "I can start preparing for Daoji!"
The eight avenues together form the base of the Tao.
Some people collapsed during the merger because the platform was too fragile.
Some people, because the Tao platform is too strong and unable to cooperate, spend their entire lives and still stop before the Tao foundation.
There are also some people who, because of the different levels of Taoist platforms, cannot find the appropriate rules and have been unable to form the Taoist foundation.
For Lu Wan, the Immortal Taoist Platform is naturally extremely stable, but precisely because of this, he may face the second difficulty.
"With the help of the Divine Flower, logically speaking, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
The Fourth Patriarch said this, and then added: "You should be able to gain something if you carefully study the method of casting the Immortal Grade Taoist Platform! In addition, the guy with eight low-grade Taoist Platforms... just take it back."
It has eight lower-grade Taoist platforms. Once formed, it will become the ninth-grade Taoist foundation, the weakest Taoist foundation!
How can the weakest Taoist platform achieve its foundation without collapsing?
The fourth ancestor was also very curious about this and thought it could be used as a reference!
"Is it appropriate?" Lu Wan said: "Si Tianjian's people are at the Eighth Mountain, watching us... Taking away the soldiers from the Seventh Mountain is poaching? Will this be regarded as provoking the imperial court? "
"You are still the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Mountain. Is it okay to dismiss him?" Grandma Third Grandma suddenly said.
"That's no problem." Lu Wan vaguely understood.
"And I, the true disciple of Xuantian Temple, plan to take away such a guy who is not a soldier of the imperial court. Isn't that considered provoking the imperial court?" Grandma Third Ancestor asked again.
"Understood."
Lu Wan suddenly looked happy.
Then I heard sounds from outside.
Taoist Li Shou is about to return to Tianshi Chengming's Mansion.
But before that, he obviously had something to say and wanted to talk to Lu Wan.
