During the few days of rest, the garrison troops from Shenzhou Island, Fuyu Bay, and Quejiao Port came one after another to join the alliance.
Several groups of ascetic monks who had lived in the mountains and forests came together to submit their names, and long-hidden family backgrounds and obscure sects emerged one after another.
The defensive line opened in Zixia Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, and there are many people inside and outside the city. The grand occasion has never been seen before.
The various sects put aside their grudges for the time being, leaving only the old and the weak to guard the mountain gate, working together in harmony to fight against powerful enemies.
The meeting hall has been reorganized, and the huge hall is full of seats.
Xuanyuan Yi arrived not long ago. Because of his noble status, the rebel army planned to regard him as the leader of the alliance. However, Xuanyuan Yi claimed to be a leisurely cloud and a wild crane, and refused many times.
The cultivators did not dare to force it, so they recommended this person to take the position of deputy leader together with Xuan Jing, to assist Li Xiaoyang in major events.
Everyone sat in order one by one, with Li Xiaoyang sitting in the middle, and on the left were Xuanjing, Xuanyin, Xuanxu, Lin Daozi, Qi Canghuang, Su Buyao, Mingxiao, Jackdaw, Hanzi, Beiming, and Fu Liuyun.
On the right are Xuanyuan Yi and the two accompanying elders Xuanyuan Li and Xuanyuan Ke, followed by Xuanyuan Hongjian, Qingyan, Xia Yan, Qianxue, Luo Wangshu, Ancient Ape Emperor, Yuan Muyun, and Qingming.
Except for Xiao Zhuyuan and Yang Qingcang who were stationed in Zhenge City, all monks from the world were present. Ming Xiao's injury improved, and even if he couldn't take care of himself, he came to help.
There were more than a hundred monks who transformed into infants on both sides. The sloppy Taoist and Liu Ruoxi participated in the discussion, while the others listened.
Wanlifeng, Yu Dushui, Hu Buyi, Mutong, and Mulei sat behind Luo Wangshu, talking to each other absentmindedly.
After a while of commotion, the hall gradually became quiet.
Li Xiaoyang stood up and said in a loud voice: "The thief Xi Yao is provoking quarrels and causing chaos. The country is in danger like the morning dew. Now we have gathered the rebel army to kill the evildoers. I hope that you will work together to save the world and prevent the inheritance from being interrupted and the Taoist sect from overthrowing."
This is a cliché and no one had any special reaction. Li Xiaoyang continued: "In the morning, Xi Yao sent someone to write a letter of war and agreed to fight at Zixia Mountain in three days." As he spoke, he took the book and handed it to Xuanyuan Yi for reading. look.
Xuanyuan Yi's clothes are simple and plain, but there is an elegant and luxurious demeanor in his movements.
He is the same generation as Bei Ming. He is slightly older than a hundred years but does not look old. He is fresh and energetic, has a slight mustache, and has a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He is obviously good at looking good.
After opening the book and looking at it briefly, he completely ignored the words in the war letter that accused Xuanyuan of spreading rumors to confuse the public, and that the descendants of Emperor Jun wanted to stop the chaos anyway. His eyes were soft and he said: "Three days later? Xi Yao actually chose an auspicious day."
The group of cultivators smiled and thought to themselves that this person did not lack the legacy of his ancestors.
Li Xiaoyang raised the corner of his lips slightly and said: "The previous demon cultivators were frustrated and retreated to Huxin Island to rest. Xi Yao's eagerness to arrange a decisive battle has the intention of cutting through the mess quickly. If you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, you may wish to express your opinions."
Xuanyuan Yi said: "The natural danger of Zixia Mountain is an insurmountable barrier. Since the rebel army has the advantage of the location, it is best to use up the enemy's combat power when they are crossing the sea, and then wait for an opportunity to break out and win a complete victory."
Before anyone in the Xuanyuan clan could agree with the proposal, Jackdaw immediately praised: "Defend and avoid the strong points, attack and attack the weak points, and relax in a controlled manner. This is a wonderful plan!"
Flatterer! The group of cultivators cursed secretly. This matter is obvious, but Jackdaw boasted it like a most magical trick. Not only has this guy's sharpness declined sharply since he reshaped his body, but he has also become more and more cowardly.
Xuanyuan Yi was self-aware and said with a smile: "What I said should be used as a guide, and I don't dare to be a Taoist friend and make false praise."
Jackdaw looked calm and boasted a few words again. He was very thick-skinned.
Li Xiaoyang said: "When Xi Yao planned the war, he could definitely foresee our army's strategies and tactics. His arrangement had profound meanings and must be carefully considered to avoid misjudgment."
The group of cultivators also considered the doubts here, and because they did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the Xi Yao gourd, they sat silently and said nothing.
Qi Canghuang said: "Is this a plan to burn the cauldron and sink the boat?"
Qianxue shook her head and said: "Do not use it easily unless it is an emergency. Otherwise, if you lose, your entire army may be annihilated. Xi Yao has been preparing for war for many years, and he has never been so reckless."
Xuanyuan Hongjian thought the same as Qi Canghuang, so he retorted: "The time, location, and people were all occupied by the rebels. Xi Yao failed to attack a few days ago and was defeated thousands of miles away. The so-called wrong move leads to the wrong move. All-in-one is the first choice. .”
Li Xiaoyang shook his head and said: "According to the research, the Canghai Dragon Clan has decided to join Xi Yao and share military supplies with each other in the hope of plundering the Divine Continent. Since the situation of strong walls and clearing the wilderness has been declared broken, Xi Yao may not be in a hurry to fight to the death."
As he talked, the problem returned to its original point.
Xuan Jing suddenly said: "I heard that Lord Luo Yuan is familiar with Xi Yao. What is this person's plan?"
Luo Wangshu said: "Xi Yaojing doesn't reveal his secrets, but he makes decisive decisions when opportunities arise. He is always wise and clear-minded, and is not a person who acts on impulse."
Xuan Jing said: "How are my generals doing?"
Luo Wangshu said: "A hundred years ago, the practitioners of Kongming were brothers and sisters Xirun, Siqing, Spotted Tiger, Baibao, Taiyunqi and Taiyunqiao. Nowadays, Fengmiao, Yiqiang, Yigao and Bai'e have been added. The rest of the people don’t know. The Tai brothers and sisters have reached the perfect state of the empty and dark stage, and their magical powers are unknown."
Li Xiaoyang interjected: "The rest have all appeared, but the Tai family brother and sister have not shown up. Could it be that they are not accompanying them?"
Luo Wangshu said: "Xiyao Jing knows the art of controlling people, and all his subordinates are sincerely convinced. Among them, the Tai brothers and sisters are the most devoted, following them all day long, and never leaving lightly. Based on my guess, the two brothers and sisters have other important matters. "
After hearing this, all the cultivators said it was abnormal. Xuan Jing said: "The master of the garden is saying that the mystery behind Xi Yao's weird behavior lies with the Tai family brother and sister?"
"The speculation is not enough to support it." Luo Wangshu said intently, "In the past, Master Liu Peak of Biyuan once mentioned the ancient teleportation array. I wonder if there is any news?"
Li Xiaoyang said: "Liu Feng has planned everything, I dare not neglect it. Unfortunately, after searching the surrounding area for nearly a thousand miles, there is still no trace of the teleportation array."
When the cultivators heard this for the first time, they couldn't help but secretly praise Liu Ruoxi for his thoughtfulness. The ancient teleportation formation that everyone had forgotten about might actually be the key to this battle.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The Ancient Ape Emperor impatiently said: "The demon cultivators are coming to fight, just engage in the battle. The rebel army is about twice as strong as the enemy, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Beiming raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan's words are very popular with me. After all calculations, it will end with force. If you can break it, you will break it. If you can't break it, there is nothing you can do. Why bother?"
The implication seems to be that if you can win, then fight, if you can't, then leave.
The strategy is a good one. I am alone in Beiming, but I can travel around the world at will. Unfortunately, the monks here have many disciples and disciples. How can I treat it like a child's play?
Xuan Jing's face had a look of compassion, and he said: "Amitabha, evil things are caused by evil things. If you don't stop them and allow evildoers to run rampant, all sects will face the bad luck of severing their orthodoxy and collapse of their families. At that time, the common people will suffer the disaster of the fish in the pond, and the race will be destroyed." If there is a danger of destruction, I hope you will be considerate of the people and have foresight and foresight."
These words are sincere and sincere, with the intention of earnestly persuading.
Beiming didn't like to hear it, and was secretly annoyed that this young monk actually came to preach to his senior! If Jackdaw hadn't failed to live up to his expectations and his side was weak, he would have jumped over to give the monk a heart-pounding meal.
Beiming was too lazy to say anything, with an unconcerned expression.
He was facing Xuanjing, but his eyes were squinting at Xuanyuan Yi who was calm and composed, as if he was saying that every injustice has its own owner and every debt has its own owner. What shamed the ancestors of Xi Yao was the Xuanyuan clan who was about to be praised to heaven by you. Even Xuanyuan Yi was bored. Be silent, monk, what are you thinking about?
That expression was really well done, and it was self-evident that he was full of complaints, and the cultivators could hardly hold back their laughter.
Beiming had a great reputation, but he had a rogue temperament. Xuan Jing felt a headache when he saw this.
Xuanyuan Yi said calmly: "There is no enmity between our ancestors and Emperor Jun. It is just because the tribes are attacking each other, which has led to the decline of people's livelihood. Therefore, we are determined to conquer the barbarians, conquer Jiuli, and unify all the tribes in Shenzhou. The Xuanyuan family will continue to carry forward the legacy of our ancestors. , help the world and bring peace to the people, and I will not regret it even if I die."
"The master of the house has a kind heart, I deeply admire him." Li Xiaoyang nodded slightly, and then looked at the group of cultivators, "It has been concluded that we will jointly defend against the enemy, and there is no need to discuss it further."
Seeing that the group of cultivators had no objections, he asked Liu Ruoxi for advice.
Liu Ruoxi said: "Xi Yao's move is very risky, how can he not rely on it? Looking at the variables of this battle, if Lu Wu remains on the sidelines, the teleportation array will definitely be the biggest hidden danger."
Xuan Jing said: "On that day, Master Meng Liu Peak taught me a clever plan and persuaded Lu Wu to withdraw his troops. Lu Wu values loyalty and may not break his word before the decisive battle. Moreover, Zhenge City is guarded by Xiao and Yang Beneficiaries, so it cannot be broken in just one day. "
Li Xiaoyang said: "Zhenge City must be fine, but the teleportation array is completely traceless."
Liu Ruoxi said: "That's true. On the day of the decisive battle, we must not use all our strength. We must reserve part of our combat power for emergencies."
Li Xiaoyang accepted his words, and after deliberation, decided that Xuanyuan Li and Ming Xiao would guard the city, and that Xuan Jing and Beiming, two later Kong Ming cultivators, would be deployed to prevent Tai Yun Qi and Tai Yun Qiao from taking advantage of the opportunity.
The remaining people each have their own responsibilities and need to strengthen their combat power as soon as possible and wait for the day of the duel to leave the city to fight.
Beiming was not very happy at first, but when the Ancient Ape King proposed himself to take his place, he couldn't help but reneged on his words, which made everyone in the temple look at him with suspicion.
Li Xiaoyang said: "The demon cultivator has the help of the Canghai Dragon Clan. The Dragon Lord and the Dragon Queen are both high-level monks who have reached the realm of transformation, and their strength cannot be underestimated. You must keep an eye on them carefully, and do not let the demon cultivator in the Kong Ming period fall alone, causing serious casualties to the rebels. .”
Xuanyuan Yi said: "I heard that the alliance leader intends to join forces with the mermaid tribe, is there any news?"
Li Xiaoyang said: "Fellow Taoist Han Zi once went to clarify the interests in person. The mermaid clan knew that disaster was coming, so they did not refuse the alliance's invitation. They must be withdrawing from the Tonghuai Islands in the near future and come here to meet."
Among the many mysterious and weird legends in Canghai, the mermaid tribe is undoubtedly the most beautiful, romantic and fantasy-filled anecdote.
It is said that mermaids live deep in the seabed, have human bodies and fish tails, and have a sad and beautiful voice. They are rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime.
Beiming looked at Han Zi and said, "I heard that the leader of the mermaid clan, Yu Ge, is gentle and beautiful. Is this true?"
Han Zi smiled and said: "The fish owner always wears a scarf when dealing with people. The slave family has never seen her true appearance with her own eyes. However, her aura of being like a fairy is something that no human being can possess."
Beiming remained silent, Xuanyuan Yi nodded and said: "The creation of all creatures in heaven and earth is full of wonders. Mermaids are known as sea elves, so they may be born with a face that confuses all living beings."
The group of cultivators suppressed their curiosity and wanted to wait for the mermaid tribe to come and have a look around and broaden their horizons.
In the solemn and quiet meeting hall, the beauty of mermaids was openly discussed. Li Xiaoyang felt quite embarrassed and said at the right time: "It is difficult to clarify the details of the battle one by one. Let's stop the discussion for today. Please prepare separately according to the planned strategy. When the mermaid clans gather to form an alliance, We’ll discuss it in detail later.”
The cultivators nodded in agreement and stood up to leave the hall.
Li Xiaoyang winked and left Xuanjing and Xuanyuan Yi'an seated at the table. They obviously had something else to discuss.
