On this day, the five tribes and ten factions who were retreating in Brown Valley received a secret letter. The letter contained a lot of information, including not only the new place for refining the Gu pill, but also the secrets of border defense and the map of Kunzhai King City.
The secret letter was unsigned. Su Ye clenched his fists silently when he saw the handwriting.
In the past two months, too many changes have happened. From the day Yan Tingshen said goodbye, everything changed. The Beishan clan was restrained by the Demon Sect. Although Qin Hanchuan took action to stabilize the overall situation, he could not completely stop the evil people from causing chaos and trouble. Therefore, facing the pressure of the Western Xinjiang army, they could only send partial support.
Among the ten sects, the sects that surrendered four years ago when the frontier war was in full swing were the first to come to our aid. Seeing the rampant Xirong, the decline of the five ethnic groups, countless ordinary people becoming refugees, and corpses littering the fields, the leader of the ten sects In order to protect the reputation of the Immortal Sect and win over people's hearts, Guangyao took the initiative to help the five clans. Once he became the leader, other sects also started to take action. The Qing Gui Sect attempted a sneak attack on the Su Ze clan, but later it was discovered that the instigator was Kunzhai Houhou. He sincerely apologized to Su Ye, the leader of the Su clan, and was willing to form disciples of the whole sect to help the five clans fight back to Xirong and pretend to be cultivators.
In the past month, the war situation has been terrible. At the bottom of the ten sects, there are only one or two hundred monks in the whole sect, and only a dozen or so high-ranking monks. Even the leader Guangyao, who claims to have two thousand disciples, can't resist the endless killing of Xirong pseudo-cultivators. . Among the five clans, the disciples of Xie's poisonous sect suffered the most serious injuries. Xie Cong experienced family destruction and death, and became prematurely old. His hair was already gray. Sheng Shangpei is not much better. The family is in chaos, the second son is deaf, the daughter-in-law is dead, the third son is abducted and his life and death are unknown, the reputation of the unmarried daughter-in-law is ruined, and the root of the disease has fallen into grief. Now the situation is completely controlled by the new generation.
Among them, Qin Hanchuan, who has the highest cultivation level, has the most say. However, she is not good at tactics. Instead, she has been pinned down by Yan Tingshen for a long time many times. Therefore, she received the secret letter, which was a ploy to lure the enemy deeper. There is no first Time sends disciples into action.
At night, as the letter said, the Rong army sent most of their troops back. Sheng Xuanyao speculated that something had happened inside Kunzhai and called everyone to discuss it.
Most of the leaders of the ten sects are Qing cultivators who are not familiar with worldly affairs and are not interested in calculations. They always follow the instructions of the five clans in battles. Therefore, those who come to this camp to negotiate are either the new sect leader or the young son of the current clan, plus other members of the clan. The most knowledgeable deputy of the hall leader in the clan.
Su Ye said bluntly: "The secret letter was sent by Yan Tingshen, and this is his handwriting."
Lu Yuhao frowned: "What's his plan this time?"
"Since it is him, the content of the letter cannot be trusted." Xie Yangyu lowered his eyes: "The disciples on the tower saw that Mo Yun was returning alone with many people. Maybe it was staged. Hope we take the bait."
Sheng Xuanyao shook his head: "If it was a real plan, he would not let the remaining soldiers be so alert."
"In other words, something may have really happened inside Kunzhai." Lu Yuhao thought: "Looking at it this way, it might not be a bad idea to lead a raid."
"Something happened in Kunzhai? Could it be that the captive monks took the opportunity to come out?" Su Ye guessed: "Mo Yun was eager to protect the master alone, so he hurried back."
Sheng Xuanyao sneered: "Yan Tingshen knew in advance and sent us a letter. I'm afraid it wasn't him who released it."
Sheng Zijing, who was silent at the side, suddenly said: "Since this is an opportunity, I will go and rescue Ah Jing." He was completely deaf, thinking that everyone was discussing how to take the opportunity to raid and rescue people, and the few people in front of him were all speechless. With a serious look on his face, Sheng Xuanyao sat him down: "Let's continue talking about us..."
Su Ye stood up: "It's a waste of time to wait. Anyway, the battle will drag on and we will lose. If we take the opportunity to make a breakthrough, we might still win."
"Why are you so impulsive?" Xie Yangyu gritted his teeth and said, "Can we afford to lose? Su Ye, if it's really a trap, wouldn't it mean leading someone to death?!" He added, "Sheng Xuanyuan died a month ago and there is no news. , he left the country without authorization for personal reasons, and I’m not sure where he is now. He has really stayed alive in the Western Desert for so long, I’m afraid he either accepted surrender or became the prince-in-law.”
Sheng Xuanyao's eyes were sharp and he said coldly: "Xie Yangyu, watch your words!"
Su Ye became angry: "You surnamed Xie, you can't speak out of your mind? Sheng Xuan resented him for pacifying the Yin and Yang disaster by himself. He didn't even say a word about the hardships. Now he can't see anyone alive or dead, but you doubt that he surrendered?!"
"I suspect that Yan Tingshen deliberately set up a trap tonight to lure us into a trap!" Xie Yangyu slapped the table and stood up: "Aren't you sitting here all because of the blood of my people? How unfavorable the war situation is for us. , but you are relying on your strength, your in-law relationship, and your two-generation friendship to save a person who is almost impossible to save. What are you doing when the monks of my clan died tragically?!"
Lu Yuhao shook his head, took the initiative to put aside the relationship with the Sheng family, and brought the topic back on track: "That's not what happened. Mr. Xie, please calm down. We are talking about the secret letter, and we have not made a decision yet."
When Sheng Zijing saw Xie Yangyu's attack, he also understood and said coldly: "There was no chance in the past. Today, the army is finally loose. I will save it myself."
"What's all the fuss about?" Qin Hanchuan walked into the tent: "My secret men have found out. Mo Yundu was indeed ordered to return. There is one general left in the fifth battalion in the north. The western position is empty. Since it is a good opportunity to take action. , the people of my clan should be saved, and by the way, we will bring back many of the captive disciples. I am almost recovered from my injuries, so I will lead people to intercept Mo Yundu. You go and discuss it with the leaders of the ten sects. , be prepared for a frontal attack."
Xie Yangyu thought of the tribesmen who had become prisoners of war, and nodded in agreement. Everyone discussed for a while, and Qin Hanchuan led a team of elites to rob and kill Mo Yundu on the way. Sheng Zijing took a shortcut to save his comrades, and faced the enemy head-on. The soldiers in the valley were responsible for cultivating the enemy. Get up to it.
Sheng Zijing went to the valley to look for monks who were willing to rescue people with him. When he heard that he was going to rescue his fellow sects who had been taken captive, many people took it upon themselves to do so. There were about thirty people from each sect and all races, half of whom were high-ranking. Su Ye stuffed a note into Sheng Zijing before they left. It said: If you see Lu Xiyan, please stop the person who wants to kill her to apologize. She is not a trick, so take her back with you.
Su Ye didn't believe that Qiong Yi was a traitor as rumored. Yan Tingshen was a fact, but neither was Qiong.
He hated Yan Tingshen extremely, hated him for indirectly killing his father, hated him for mistaking his sister's feelings. There was not a day that went by that Su Ye didn't want to kill this traitor with his own hands and avenge his dead classmates and relatives.
*
Mo Yun alone heard that Su Hejin had summoned him urgently, and he must have encountered trouble. Yu Wufei rushed towards the royal city, but was stopped by Qin Hanchuan's leader, his sword was unsheathed, and a fierce battle broke out.
When Qin Hanchuan was dragging back the returning army, Sheng Zijing led his men with swords all the way to the palace among the oasis. The palace was deserted, with bloodstains all over the walls and floors, and there were dead bodies everywhere as far as the eye could see. Extremely surprised, he rushed to the palace on guard.
Sheng Zijing only felt that there was a familiar atmosphere here, but it had completely changed. Not long after, a joyous call came from behind the team: "Sir Young Master Sheng! You are still alive!"
A figure of Sheng Xuanyuan appeared at one end of the palace wall. He dragged his sword in his hand and slowly walked towards them step by step. The blade of the sword made a "clucking" friction sound against the masonry on the ground, which was very harsh. Sheng Zijing couldn't hear the call or voice, so he turned around slowly, only to see the figure stepping up, very fast, and the monk who was still waving his hands instantly turned into two human corpses, and was chopped from the waist alive. No one had time to react, Sheng Zijing Xuan Yuan continued to raise his sword and stabbed the next person.
"Senior brother! -" Lu Li cried out sadly. The senior brother beside him was separated from the top and bottom, and his body was covered with blood. It was not enough for Sheng Xuanyuan to kill one person. He wanted to take his life. Lu Li had no time to escape and was pulled by Xu Yichen behind him. One handful, lucky to survive.
"Ah Jing! What are you doing?!" Sheng Zijing was shocked, and the monks were also shocked. They all pulled out their swords and took out their magic weapons. Lu Li was still in shock, and shouted in pain to the corpse on the ground: "Third Senior Brother!... "
The third senior brother's eyes were not closed and he could not survive. He just said weakly: "Take Xiao Wu... go back... I'll leave it to you... Xiao Qi..."
Sheng Xuanyuan raised his hand to perform the technique, and the true energy that had penetrated into his body suddenly exploded. In an instant, no bones remained. Lu Li was affected by the explosion before he could touch the body of the third senior brother. He turned to look at the murderer with his bare eyes and said in a tight voice: "Shengxuanyuan!————"
"Why? We are here to save you!!"
Sheng Xuanyuan wiped the blood from his cheek with his fingertips and did not answer. After he killed Yan Tingshen in revenge yesterday, and then slaughtered the entire palace, he was most murderous at this time and lost all his consciousness. Finally, a living creature appeared in front of him. , naturally unwilling to stop. He raised Cheng Ying, the sword emitted a cold light, and he moved towards them.
Xu Yichen held his sword under the barrier. Unexpectedly, his sword energy was so powerful, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood: "Brother Sheng! You... wake up..."
Sheng Zijing drew out the Luo Xing Sword and shouted for everyone to disperse. The monks dispersed and surrounded Sheng Xuanyuan, trying to subdue him. Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was too large and the law cultivator could not control Sheng Xuanyuan's actions. He then It was extremely difficult for them to kill him, even though he wanted to kill him. During the fight, several people were injured or killed.
"Sheng Jing!" Sheng Zijing struck the Chengying Sword and said angrily: "Are you crazy? It's us!"
Sheng Xuanyuan turned a deaf ear. Seeing this, Sheng Zijing also guessed what happened to his brother. He came to save him and must take Sheng Xuanyuan back alive.
Xu Yichen was knocked to the ground by the sword energy. Sheng Xuanyuan caught the flaw and could kill anyone. He came straight towards Xu Yichen. Sheng Zijing stabbed and picked up the sword. Seeing this, the Xie family monk threw a bomb. The fog exploded and Zen Yin's monk saw the opportunity and put a bell cover on him to suppress Sheng Xuanyuan. Sheng Xuanyuan inhaled the drug inside the golden bell, and his eyes became even redder. He smashed the bell with three punches and two palms, and staggered to kill with his sword. His swordsmanship was chaotic and there was no trace of Jichen's swordsmanship. He just wanted to kill.
He fought with everyone for an hour or two before he couldn't withstand the power of the drug and fell down. Before fainting, his consciousness seemed to have returned. He shouted "Second Brother" in a hoarse voice and fell to the ground.
Most of the monks came to save people, but he killed most of them. The disciples of Tianwu Sect were red-eyed and were about to punch Sheng Xuanyuan on the head, who was lying on the ground. Sheng Zijing stopped him. His face was extremely ugly. : "Don't kill him. I know that my brother has committed a serious crime, and I have to take him back to China to make a decision."
Lu Li's arm was cut off. He wiped the blood and tears on his face, shook his head and called for people to go to the palace to find the prisoners. Of the thirty monks who came here, there were only dozens left, and they were all seriously injured. They were in the palace. After circling up and down for several times, I didn't see any living people. After asking around the royal city, what I finally found was the ruins of the Panchi where human Gu was refined.
Looking at the huge pothole, everyone was speechless.
They didn't know exactly what this pothole was used for, but there was the smell of their comrades in it.
They disappeared, leaving only Sheng Xuanyuan alive.
The answer is almost self-evident.
If it were not for Sheng Zijing to protect him, the monks from the ten sects would have killed Sheng Xuanyuan here to vent his anger. Lu Li could not find Qiong Yi. He did not believe that Sheng Xuanyuan could have killed his senior sister without being recognized by her relatives. But if that wasn't the case, why did the senior sister disappear so completely?
Lu Li no longer dared to think about what happened to her senior sister, it was heartbreaking. Everyone was afraid that Sheng Xuanyuan would wake up again and riot, so they locked his consciousness, fed him a drug, and carried him back to Brown Valley.
