Three days later, the battle in Huangcheng finally came to an end.
From the successful encirclement at the beginning, the Eight Banners Army encircled and suppressed, the city defense formation showed its prowess, and then two days after the war started, the giants of the Eastern Region such as Three Thousand Sword Sect, Tai Sect, etc. arrived one after another. This encirclement and annihilation battle against the demons became No more suspense.
In this battle, tens of thousands of demons were annihilated, thousands of elites in the Three Void Realm and above, and many in the Tribulation Realm were annihilated.
However, the most important result was the killing of seven demons at the peak of the Sky Profound Realm!
An unprecedented victory!

"call……"
Xu Yue collapsed on the ground, the golden light on his body slowly fading away, revealing his scarred body, and his hands were shaking and convulsing slightly.
During the battle, he fought tooth and nail to kill a demon at the peak of the Sky Profound Realm, and also eliminated countless low-level demons, making great achievements in battle.
It can be said that Xu Yue was one of the most dazzling people on this battlefield, giving hope and inspiration to countless soldiers in Huangcheng.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
Someone limped over with a spear in his hand, then sat down next to Xu Yue, took a drink from the wine bottle, and then threw it to Xu Yue.
"Well, it's no big problem."
Xu Yue took it, the strong wine passed down his throat and was very hot. After drinking, he wiped his mouth, threw it back to Huang Gan, and asked softly: "Brothers Huang Jia and Huang Ye, have they settled down?"
"Of course, why do you need to ask more about this?"
Huang Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, while Xu Yue hesitated, obviously confused by the question, and silently lowered his head, his eyes dim.
After all, two loyal and powerful seniors from the Immortal Realm died heroically in the battle just now.
Seeing this, Huang Gan shook his head and looked at the dizzy sky with tired eyes. Several hideous wounds on his body were still bleeding. He said slowly in an inexplicable tone: "You don't have to be so sad. Birth, old age, illness and death are just mortal things." The end point, then shrouded in horse leather, is the destination of our soldiers! Those two guys were attacked by demons three months ago and suffered heavy casualties. To die fighting so hard today can be regarded as avenging their shame... Humph, they will be lazy and retire early. , unlike us, who have to continue to work so hard!"
Huanggan stood up staggeringly with his spear in hand, cursing the gone Huangya Huangye. There was no anger in his words, but only blessings to his comrades and a trace of undetectable envy.
Xu Yue looked at it silently, and he understood this truth. Those who left were relaxed, liberated, and could rest. Those who were alive had to carry the things they left behind and continue to move forward.
"Put yourself together and come to the tower. Mr. Chang and Mr. Gan are waiting for you."
"I know, Brother Huanggan."
Huang Gan left, and he needed to comfort his soldiers who suffered heavy casualties. Xu Yue also took a deep breath, and after resting on the spot for a full quarter of an hour, he slowly walked forward to the closed tower.
Along the way, many soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield looked at them with admiration. Several people wanted to help Xu Yue, but he politely refused.
After boarding the tower, Xu Yue heard several voices discussing while still far away.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, is this action too risky?"
"I also feel that Huangcheng should inform me. In this case, it will not only prevent our sects from being in chaos due to ignorance, but also help you coordinate your actions from the side!"
Several figures gathered around Chang Lao. Although their tone was somewhat dissatisfied, it was not an accusation, just a slight complaint.
"You fellow Taoists don't know. This is an emergency situation and we did it on the spur of the moment. We apologize for any offense."
Chang Lao had no intention of saying more, but Gan Qing next to him hugged his fists and apologized to a few people. Then he glanced at Xu Yue who was walking towards him and urged: "Xu Yue, come here quickly. You planned this action. It should also be explained to several fellow Taoists in person by you."
Hearing this, Xu Yue curled his lips. This is not the way to sway the blame. When I brought it up, didn't you pat your thighs and agree?
But even though he thought this way, he still came to the crowd, looked at several figures, cupped his fists and said, "Xu Yue has met these seniors."
Some of these people he was very familiar with, such as Shang Daoqian, the leader of the Three Thousand Sword Sect.
Some were once enemies of each other, and even fought against each other, such as Xiang Chongshan, the head of the Tai Sect, and Jiang Xian, the head of the ancient Jiang family.
There are also others that he is not very familiar with, but has met several times. For example, the skinny old man in red robes, with a terrifying face, and constantly exuding a sinister aura, is the red-robed old ghost who is the master of the ghost sect.
The giant man standing next to him, who was several feet tall, wore a giant bull-head bone ornament on his head, and had tattoos all over his strong body, was Ao Gang, the king of beasts in the Valley of Beasts.
They are all the leaders of the giants in the Eastern Region. After receiving the urgent military report from Huangcheng, they immediately arrived as the vanguard. There were also large troops marching behind them, but because there were too many people, they had not yet arrived.
But now, the battle is over and they can return the way they came.
As for the Emperor Demon Sect, the only giant from the Eastern Region that had not arrived at the scene, since Qing Yao and Mingchuan had been killed in battle, there was only one big red demon left in the sect, and he had to take charge of the sect, so no strong man was sent.
But they also immediately issued an edict, calling on all the demons in the Eastern Region to rush to the aid of the deserted city without any mistakes.
"Xu Yue, long time no see."
Shang Daoqian nodded and smiled. In the battle just now, the two of them had fought side by side. The demon at the peak of the Tianxuan Realm that Xu Yue killed was injured by him.
However, due to the tension during the war, there was no chance to reminisce about old times, so it was not until now that we actually said hello.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is so polite."
On the side, the red-robed old ghost and Ao Gang returned a salute. The former looked at Xu Yue with his dark green pupils, seeming to be sizing him up. The latter even reached out to shake hands with Xu Yue. The power of the Beast King made him wince in pain. tooth.
As for Xiang Chongshan, the leader of the Tai Sect who attacked Yidi Mountain five years ago did not speak, but it was Jiang Xian who took the lead in attacking.
"Xu Yue, this exercise in Huangcheng was all planned by you? Do you know what serious consequences it will have if the demon is not fooled and you spread false news like this and wantonly disturb the overall situation of the Immortal Realm." Jiang Xian looked grim. , the voice is quite energetic.
I just don’t know if he is really thinking about the Immortal Domain, or if he is simply targeting Xu Yue.
"Of course we know that it is a great sin to mobilize troops and spend money on them."
Xu Yueping looked at Jiang Xian, but was not afraid, and said in a deep voice: "But fortunately, we succeeded, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and even killed seven demons at the top of the Tianxuan Realm, right?"
"This is too risky! You are betting the entire deserted city!" Jiang Xian's voice suddenly became louder and he questioned Xu Yue.
"Dangerous tactics are the key to victory! Can you defeat the demons by simply guarding and guarding? Or, Mr. Jiang, do you think we should push all the forces to have a great internal fight in the fairyland like you did five years ago? Is this the real defense against foreign enemies?”
"you!"
Xu Yue's voice was cold and merciless. After hearing this, Jiang Xian's eyes widened and he was full of anger.
"Xu Yue, please stop being rude."
At the critical moment, as the master Chang Lao intervened, Xu Yuecai's eyes flashed, his expression softened instantly, and he cupped his hands to Jiang Xian in an extremely perfunctory manner, saying that I was wrong.
"snort."
In response, Jiang Xian waved his sleeves, turned around and walked away, standing at the edge of the tower, no longer gathering with a few people, and looking at the scenery inside the deserted city quite depressedly.
"But, Xu Yue."
Xiang Chongshan walked over and said in a deep voice: "We still need an explanation. If this operation fails, mobilizing so many troops from the Immortal Alliance is a trivial matter, but triggering an internal crisis of trust is a big deal. If there are demons again in the future Do we believe the military report of the invasion? And..."
"Xiang Sect Master, I'm sorry to interrupt you."
Xu Yue raised his hand, then glanced at Chang Lao and Gan Qing, and said slowly: "Who told you that the purpose this time was just to lure the demon?"
"Um?"
Xiang Chongshan paused and frowned suddenly. Jiang Xian, who was not far away, also moved his ears slightly, obviously listening to what was going on here.
"I can tell you very clearly that even if the demons are not fooled this time, we have accomplished the set goal! As for the crisis of trust you mentioned... After this time, once the internal dangers have been cleared, we will naturally not use it again. This is a strategy to deceive others and defraud yourself.”
Xu Yue whispered, and his words immediately made several giants become energetic, their eyes brightened, and their breathing became a little faster.
"Internal hidden dangers? What do you mean?" Shang Daoqian asked urgently.
But Xu Yue didn't speak for a while. He just looked at the altar of heroes on the horizon and the vast outer city, slightly silent.
After this battle, there will be no more theft of building materials at the Hero Altar, and the cohesion of the deserted city will reach an unprecedented height.
Due to the impact of the war, everyone in the outer city had been cleared out. Taking advantage of this gap, Huang Luo and Huang Mo searched every giant's stronghold. Although there was no substantial discovery in the end, now The deserted city can finally be called a clear water. As long as the people entering the city are strictly controlled in the future, it will never become the mixed bag of fish and dragons it used to be.
Therefore, taking Huangcheng alone as an example, this exercise was worth it anyway.
Of course, there is no need to explain these two things to Shang Daoqian and other people from outside the sect.
Except for that one thing.
"Wait a minute, I've sent someone to ask. I believe the news will come back soon." Xu Yue withdrew his gaze from the Hero Altar and the outer city and said no more.
Shang Daoqian and others looked at each other. Although they didn't know why, they could only wait quietly.
"Report!!"
Not long after, the voice of a messenger came hurriedly from a distance, and several big guys immediately cast their gazes on him, watching closely as he panted upstairs, and with a final bang, his face turned red. He knelt in front of him.
"Report! Adults! News came from all over the Immortal Domain. Not long ago, a large number of unknown people suddenly broke out and attacked and killed the strongest generation of each sect. However, they were all neutralized and no one died! The detailed information of each sect is being On the way, delivered immediately!”
"What? The strongest generation?!"
The hearts of a group of giant sect leaders trembled, and they suddenly became nervous. This was the lifeblood of the Immortal Realm. A few months ago, the haze of several of the strongest generations being killed one after another was still lingering in their hearts.
However, when they hurriedly looked at Xu Yue, they found that he was exhaling with relief, as if they had expected it!
"Is this the internal hidden danger you mentioned just now?" Shang Daoqian reacted immediately and asked quickly and excitedly.
Before Xu Yue could answer, information came one after another from a distance.
"Report! According to the information from the God of Feathers Sect, some gangsters attacked the retreat place of Ling Li of the God of Feathers Sect, and they have been killed by the sect leader Hua Shenyu!"
"Report! News came from the Temple of War that Xia Jingxian was attacked. The sect leader of the Protector Mountain came to his aid in time. In the end, the enemy self-destructed and killed a statue at the top of the Tianxuan Realm!"
"Report! Hudao Mountain sent a message that Jiang Li was ambushed in the Nanling Mountains. He was rescued by the five elders of Hudao Mountain. In the end, the enemy self-destructed, killing two people in the late stage of Tianxuan Realm!"
"Report! The Taoist sect urgently reported that Taoist Hongtian was attacked by spies within the sect. Fortunately, fellow Taoists from Hudao Mountain were well prepared and stopped him. In the end, the enemy self-destructed and killed one of the late stage members of the Tribulation Realm!"
"Report! News from the Blue Sea Divine Dynasty..."
One piece of information from the major giants in the Immortal Realm came in one after another. The people who heard it were shocked and could hardly think. Even Jiang Xian couldn't pretend anymore. He walked over from the edge of the tower and returned without saying a word. Among several people.
"Hudao Mountain? Did you arrange this?"
Shang Daoqian was shocked because he had just heard the information from his Three Thousand Sword Sect, saying that after Shang Jun completed sword-making for a day, he was attacked by several "sword seekers" who had transcended the tribulation realm on his way back to the cave. Fortunately, he was protected by several monks from the Dao Protector Mountain in time, and he was only slightly injured.
Shang Daoqian also knew that these people from Protector Mountain suddenly came to Three Thousand Sword Sect a few months ago, saying that they wanted to find some weapons for Protector Mountain to enrich the arsenal. Now it seems that it is more than that?
"Yes, I arranged it."
Seeing several eyes looking at him at the same time, Xu Yue nodded and admitted frankly.
Since he dared to spread the news that the deserted city was destroyed and deliberately lured the people in the dark to attack the strongest generation, then he would naturally add a strong insurance for the geniuses!
This insurance is the Dao Protector Mountain!
Xu Yue was not sure who the murderer was who hunted the strongest generation. It could be a demon or a giant within the fairyland!
Therefore, this is also an important reason why he did not notify the Immortal Alliance about this exercise. After all, once informed, all the giants would definitely know, and the purpose of luring the snake out of the hole would be defeated.
But Hudao Mountain is different!
Although this sect is not a guardian clan, due to its special sect nature, the protection of many of the strongest generations is entrusted to them. It can be said that Protector Mountain is the bodyguard of the geniuses in the entire fairyland.
And thinking about it this way, if Hudaoshan was the murderer secretly, wouldn't all of the strongest generation have died long ago?
After all, it would be too easy and convenient for them to take action!
Therefore, Xu Yue concluded that there was no problem in Hudao Mountain, and the Wanli Kuangsha Liangzong incident a few months ago made everyone on Hudao Mountain hold their breath and vowed to catch the culprit!
In this way, everything fell into place. Xu Yue learned from Xiao Hu's letter to Huangcheng that all the guardians of the Dao Protector Mountain had been dispatched to protect the strongest generation of each major sect overtly and secretly, so he Before the performance, notify Xiao Hu and ask all guardians to be on high alert. The enemy is likely to launch an attack in the next day or two!
As a result, there was the current scene, where all the Whisperers were blocked by the strong men from the Protector Mountain, and almost all of them were killed!
Shang Daoqian, who knew all the plans, Xiang Chongshan and others had no objections to the exercise in the deserted city.
Externally, a large number of monsters that were a huge threat were annihilated.
Internally, the vicious and hidden internal troubles were eliminated.
No matter from any aspect, it is an unparalleled achievement and deserves to be praised throughout the fairyland!
Some people died, but not completely...
