A bloody storm broke out near the Xuanwu Mountains. After the Qingxu Army slaughtered all the Xuanwumen, the Anbei Army who came in were blocked and killed, and they fought to the death.
These outsiders were too greedy. Once they entered the Xuanwu Sect, they were blinded by the huge resources and only focused on plundering.
Especially ordinary pioneers, anything in Xuanwu Sect is a treasure to them.
If you can grab a high-grade elixir, you will have a ticket to return to your hometown. If you bring it back to Qingxu Continent, you can exchange it for an ordinary sequence of elixir.
As for the commander of the Qingxu Army, he did not stop his subordinates from their looting spree. Instead, he motioned for them to grab more, because they were about to start a period of wandering life.
The combined forces of the two warships totaled 3,000 civilians in the land reclamation order, more than 200 in the pioneer sequence, 50 in the remaining main battle sequence, and more than ten high-level people in the secondary sequence.
According to the plan of the two third-series captains, this kind of force would definitely not be able to defeat the Anbei Governor's Mansion where the general ship was buried, but it would be quite easy to avoid the battle and flee to other counties.
As long as they can find a development base and wait for the base battleship to be repaired, they can return to Qingxu with a large amount of resources.
According to the final information on the landing day, compared to the Central Territory, Heavenly Court’s interception efforts in the north are not too great. With luck, they can completely copy the development model in other worlds.
However, like Yan Luo, they never expected that Zhou Bai would deal with them first.
Although not everyone in the Demon-Subduing Army and the Guards Camp is equipped with a horse, they are all practicing martial arts. They are a group of soldiers with the most resources and the highest martial arts cultivation.
With the support of true energy and abundant strength, long-distance cross-country marches are just a common occurrence. By the time the Qingxu Army recovered from their obsession with emptying Xuanwu Mountain, teams of well-trained warriors had already firmly blocked the surrounding intersections.
In panic, the Qingxu Army wanted to break out of the encirclement, but the Qingxu Army, which was dragged down by the large amount of "trophies", was unable to display its due combat effectiveness.
The Yin Qi exploded, and all nearby mortals died, leaving no Nian slaves to serve as cannon fodder.
After several battles, except for the corpses of a group of civilians who were clearing land at the foot of the mountain, which weakened their morale, they did not have any impact on the formations of the Demon-Suppressing Army and the Guards Camp.
Fortunately, the higher-ups were not stupid. They knew that this was a life-or-death situation and that resources could be put to waste, so they immediately ordered all supplies that were hindering the breakout to be discarded.
Fortunately, there are psychic masters who can open some low-level storage bags and use the storage bags to take away spiritual objects with rich spiritual energy. It is not a waste of effort.
Due to the characteristics of the expedition fleet, the value of the storage bag is more precious than some potion materials. In the Qingxu Continent, treasures similar to the space stone have long been mined.
Immediately afterwards, with the third sequence personally facing the end, the Qingxu Army risked their lives to break through.
Without Zhou Bai in charge, the Yin Shen-level combat power would be really difficult to stop. A great mind master and a great martial artist worked together flawlessly. After blocking for several hours, they were still allowed to open two gaps.
Of course, this is because the Taoist priests and the demon-suppressing army are unwilling to make heavy sacrifices to stop them, because these remnants of the army cannot escape.
They are only the first line of defense, and the second line of defense is the 20,000 government troops who come from behind. Perhaps the individual strength of the soldiers is not as strong as before, but they can still crush the civilians who only know how to fight bravely.
The largest number of pioneers, it would be difficult for one person to deal with a group of soldiers, and even the slightest carelessness would result in the death of many people.
The spiritual energy was revived, and the effects of the military deployment throughout the county had begun to show. Zhou Yuan was quite emotional and proud. He still remembered the battle in Yangyuan last year, where one pioneer could fight one against ten.
In front of the remnants of the Qingxu army, there is the endless black armor army formation. The flags cover the sun and the darkness is overwhelming. The reflection of the swords, guns, armor and stomachs is like a cold light, which makes the sequencers feel cold.
Morale fell to rock bottom, and many people even lost the desire to survive and had no way to escape.
This group of Qingxu people committed heinous crimes, causing almost all civilians around the Xuanwu Mountains to die, leaving only bones in many market towns and villages.
Repay vengeance with straightness and repay kindness with kindness.
This time, Zhou Bai did not order surrender, but wanted to stop killing with killing!
In the order given to Zhou Yuan, he also asked him to keep an eye on the performance of Qingxu Yicong. This battle was their real declaration of surrender.
Anger and murderous intent aroused in Anbei's army, attacking from both front and back, leaving no trace of armor behind.
At this point, when launching the last wave of breakout, the two captains unanimously chose to abandon the main force. Anyway, the Xuanwu Sect's most precious resources were with them.
Faced with the mountain of military energy, they did not even dare to enter the Fu army formation, but fled from the flanks in the air.
It's just that the air is also covered by the military aura of the government army. The military flags are waving, and the military aura is so fierce that the strength of the two people is constantly weakened.
The Great Martial Master could not fly for a long time, so he relied on his explosive power to step into the air in a short time. He almost fell down this time. Fortunately, another Great Martial Master came to help and he was able to escape from the huge army formation of the government.
However, before they could escape within twenty miles and the feeling of joy of surviving the disaster was still in their hearts, the God Lord took action to crush their hopes.

…
There was a bloodbath in the Xuanwu Mountains, but Ruinan City was still unaware of it, and it still maintained a "harmonious" state of daily battles or small-scale battles.
Only Master Xuanwu, the ancestor of the Xuanwu Sect, was aware of the sect's encounter, and all of his direct disciples were dead.
In a secret room in Jiedu Mansion, Yan Luo finally agreed to an interview under the repeated requests of Master Xuanwu.
Obviously the two are not enemies of each other, but Yan Luo always takes care of Master Xuanwu and rarely meets alone.
Because in his understanding, a Third Realm monk can suppress him with the French net and forcibly kill him.
"This secret room is located under the Jiedu Yamen Hall. It is the hub of the French Open. It is wonderful, wonderful."
"Of course, it's my honor that the commander comes to see me despite his busy schedule." Before Yan Luo could speak, Master Xuanwu immediately became angry.
Yan Luo glanced at the skinny old man sitting opposite, and quickly drank tea to hide his embarrassment.
Others might not know how to reply, but as an old bureaucrat with a face thicker than the city walls, he pretended not to understand at this time.
"Ahem, in the past two days, Mr. Zhou Bai has been sending people to provoke him. Several generals have been brutally killed. Please forgive me for neglecting the real person!" Yan Luo stood up and bowed his hands in salute, saying very sincerely.
However, Master Xuanwu was unwilling to give up, and his tone became more and more weird: "I should be the only one left in my Xuanwu Sect now. Are you satisfied, Commander-in-Chief?"
This is blaming Yan Luo. He has to be dragged here so that he cannot take care of the sect.
Otherwise, if there is an ancestor who has perfected the Yin Shen Realm and is in charge of the mountain protection formation, no matter how many methods Qingxu uses, it will be useless. This is the self-confidence of Master Xuanwu to dominate Ruinan County.
When Yan Luo heard the question from Master Xuanwu, his expression did not change, but he said righteously: "The Xuanwu Sect fought against the foreign enemies of Qingxu, leading to the destruction of the entire clan. He is truly a loyal and righteous man. I will report it to the court for Xuanwu's sake." Excellent performance!"
"In addition, I will also let the Taoist officials report to the Tiangong Monument. The Heavenly Court calls on the sects in the world to protect their hometown. There must be some expression."
The false good words were mixed with some real benefits, which made Master Xuanwu's face soften slightly.
If there is a local government official who strongly recommends it, the Heavenly Court may really compensate the Xuanwu Sect with some heavenly merits for being a model of protecting their hometown.
However, the above benefits are not worth mentioning compared to the price paid by Master Xuanwu.
So he still snorted coldly and said: "Commander, don't worry about Zuoyan. When can you give me your piece of five-color gold?"
Yan Luo's hand holding the teacup tightened, and his expression changed several times. It was obvious that Master Xuanwu had hit the point.
Five-color gold, named for its five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black, is more precious than the five-color soil that is the foundation of the Sheji altar.
Even if Zhou Bai hears traces of this object, he will be excited and try his best to get it.
Five-color gold has many miraculous effects. Anyone who hides it can keep their health and good luck.
Of course, the true value of five-color gold is definitely more than that.
Its two most critical uses are, first, as a material for monks to overcome the tribulation treasure. The more five-color gold there is, the more effective the tribulation treasure is at weakening the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Moreover, as long as the weight of the refined five-color gold in the magic weapon exceeds one tael, it will have the miraculous effect of protecting the soul. Even if the tribulation fails, it can still be converted to the path of ghost cultivation, and it will not be irreversible.
It weakens the heavenly calamity and protects the soul. It should be regarded as a holy object to avoid calamity.
It just so happened that Yan Luo happened to have one or two five-color gold in his hand. This was the opportunity he got when he was studying abroad when he was young and accidentally entered the secret realm of the cave.
The seeds of separatism and self-reliance may have been planted from then on.
Because the second use of five-color gold is to cast the national seal.
It is said that the national seal containing five-color gold material can gather energy and stabilize the national destiny.
Some good people have summed up a rule. In history, all dynasties that have achieved national success for three hundred years have their national seals made of five-color gold.
Although these rumors and rules cannot be verified, the founding monarchs of the past dynasties all flocked to them.
Because of the above two important uses, five-color gold is extremely precious in the eyes of high-level monks and the most powerful people in the world.
The secret room fell into silence. After a long time, Yan Luo took a few deep breaths and said sternly to Master Xuanwu: "Since Master Xuanwu wants the five-color gold so much, then we will open the skylight and speak openly. As long as this war can turn the crisis around, the five-color gold You should offer it with both hands."
Master Xuanwu smiled instead of being angry: "Hahaha, Yan Luo, you raised an army to separate the country, suppressed the powerful people in the territory, and packed up the Qingxu warships. Which of them did not require my help? But where is the five-color gold?!"
"Do you know the price of teasing a real person? So what if you are a Jiedushi envoy? If you fail to overcome the disaster, I will kill you first."
Suddenly, Yan Luo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the cold murderous intention made him completely awake. He once again realized the danger of meeting an experienced real person alone.
Without a large army to protect him, the identity of a half-dead Jiedu envoy with declining fortunes is not enough at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Xuan Wu was approaching his end of life and was about to undergo a catastrophe at any time, so he didn't dare to get hurt, he might have carried out the counterattack of human destiny.
Armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arose.
Yan Luo bowed to him and said solemnly: "Please believe me, Master. This time is the last time. If you can stop Anbei's army, I will definitely give you one or two five-color gold with both hands."
No matter how sincere and solemn Yan Luo acted, Master Xuanwu still shook his head blankly: "Empty words."
"Oh, that's good." Yan Luo sighed, and then took out two Jiedu edicts from his arms.
There was a letter full of handwriting, to the effect that in order to express my gratitude to Master Xuanwu, I would like to reward him with one or two gold coins of five colors.
The other edict was blank, but like the edict for raising merits, it was stamped with the Jiedu seal, and it was an official document with administrative validity.
"If I break the contract then, you can use the edict to ruin my luck. This kind of ability must be real."
"There is also this blank edict. Please keep it safe. I will exchange it for five-color gold." Yan Luo didn't know what the meaning of these two edicts was. This meant that his five-color gold national seal would definitely fail. .
After taking out such a certificate, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of Master Xuanwu, and he nodded and accepted the two edicts.
The sect is gone. As long as he is alive, he can build it again. If he breaks through Yang Shen, Xuanwu Sect will become one of the overlord sects in Dingzhou.
…
On July 21, when the war near the Xuanwu Mountains was declared over, Yan Luobu's men outside died one after another, and finally the news was sent to Ruinan City.
Everyone in Ruinan Jiedu Mansion was so angry that it was no wonder that they never carried out large-scale siege operations, but instead killed time by fighting generals.
However, it was not too late. According to intelligence, it would take two days for the main force of the Anbei Army, which was encircling and annihilating the Qingxu people, to return to Zhou Bai's Chinese army camp.
On July 22, under the advice of his generals and advisers, Yan Luo led 30,000 Yamen troops out of the city to find Anbei Army for a decisive battle.
At the beginning, the Anbei Army relied on fortifications such as fences and walls to avoid fighting and insisted on holding on.
The morale of Ruinan's army soared, and they attacked without hesitation. Within half a day, they managed to capture the twelve front camp villages.
But when the battle reached noon, Yan Luo and his men realized something was wrong. The "fruitful" results were good, but the casualties of more than two thousand elites were a bit too much.
Climbing up the city wall again, Yan Luo's face turned dark when he saw that the Anbei Army station was still surrounded by tight barriers and the military strongholds were lined up.
Changing shapes offensively and defensively, it doesn't feel like a good thing.
Yan Luo was unwilling to just withdraw his troops. Now, even with the cavalry in the Anbei Army camp, the number was less than 10,000, which was a perfect opportunity.
After this battle, he finally understood why the three counties of Shuiyang were lost so quickly. The gap in combat power was really big.
The spiritual tide is surging, and everyone in the army is practicing martial arts. Why didn't I think of it?
In order to implement Yan Luo's will, the remaining 10,000 soldiers in the city sent out another 5,000, and then more than 30,000 people only attacked in the direction of the main camp with the fish-dragon flag.
The silver dragon cavalry, which was regarded as a treasure, was also sent out, together with the 400 fine cavalry plundered by the whole army, to cooperate with the two thousand cavalry of Lou Jinpeng.
In order to defend the homeland, and with Yan Luo's heavy reward, Ruinan's army broke out with unprecedented aggression, and even the civil servants of Jiedu Mansion were excited.
One afternoon, we actually took Jiuzhaigou again, only one step away from the main camp of Zhou Baizhong's army.
But just this step, like a natural chasm, blocked the torrent of people.
As the war reached a stalemate, most of Ruinan's most brave and fierce soldiers were killed, and many of them gradually came to their senses.
The offensive was slow and weak, and more and more Ruinan's soldiers were unwilling to die. But dusk had come, and Yan Luo had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
But you want to leave, but the Anbei Army does not agree. Thirty thousand people have gone deep into the military camp for several miles, so it is not easy to evacuate.
