Tianlan Grassland has poor resources but a vast territory. Regardless of resources, the area is at least twice or even three times that of Tiannan.
Although there are dozens of countries in Tiannan, the territory is really small. Taking the medium-sized country of Yue as an example, it only took a few months for Han Li to hike from Shenshou Valley in the northwest to Mount Tainan in the south.
Although the Mulan people lost a lot of territory to the Tubul people, the territory they currently control is not necessarily smaller than Tiannan.
In the northern part of the grassland, a huge team is moving due north.
In the sky are hundreds of medium and large airships, ranging from tens of feet to a hundred feet in length. From time to time, magicians ride giant eagles to land on the deck of the battleship, or take off from the deck.
Most of these giant eagles only have first-level cultivation, but they are not small in size and generally have a wingspan of more than five feet. Their flying speed is no less than that of a top-grade flying sword flying with a sword.
After taking off in giant eagles, these magicians flew in all directions, assuming the responsibility of scouts.
Although there are many battleships and birds in the sky, their scale is far inferior to the teams on the ground.
Countless fully armed Mulan knights marched at a constant speed. Each of them had multiple horses, with long swords hanging from their waists and strong bows and arrows hanging from their bodies. The horses next to them had food, water bags and other supplies. There was almost no noise in the team, showing a strong sense of discipline.
They formed a team for every 100,000 people. Looking down from a high altitude, black squares were moving. There were hundreds of such squares scattered across the land thousands of miles in radius.
Most of the knights in the team, who are more than a hundred generals, have the Qi training stage, and the horses under their crotches are also unusually tall and handsome. Everyone's expression was solemn, with an indomitable will to move forward in their eyes.
They understand that no matter whether the war is won or not, the mortal knights will suffer heavy casualties.
But they are not afraid of death.
As long as their flesh and blood bodies can become the target of the opponent's immortal cultivator, successfully consuming the opponent's mana will not be considered a wasted death.
Moreover, low-level monks could not use their bodies to catch the arrows shot by the strong bows, and had to release spiritual shields for protection, which consumed their spiritual energy in disguise.
Most of their elders died in the war thirty years ago. This time they are not qualified to be defeated again. They must defeat Tiannan and win a place for their people to survive.
Among the huge army, there are more than a dozen behemoths that are extremely conspicuous.
It was a giant beast dozens of feet tall. Every time a leg was raised and landed, the ground would tremble violently. The nine-foot-tall war horse at its feet was like a sparrow at the feet of an elephant.
In the middle area of the team are countless magicians riding various chariots, war horses, and birds and animals.
At this moment, a closed-door meeting of the highest level in Mulan was held in a large airship, which was the temporary mobile temple of the Mulan people.
In a certain five-story palace building, more than ten magicians who were in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and above were sitting together. Some were talking excitedly, while others were silent. The only thing that is the same is that their faces are not pretty.
A dark-skinned middle-aged man slapped the table and said angrily: "I, the Mulan people, have no way out! If we don't find a way, sooner or later we will be completely wiped out by the sudden people."
The golden-robed old man sitting opposite said coldly: "Of course these old men know, and I fully supported the decision to fight Tiannan before. But things are different now."
"Master Bi's physical body was destroyed and the Thunder Gathering Flag was taken away. Yesterday, a physical body with thunder spirit roots was found and taken away. Now he is in retreat to recover his cultivation."
"Even if Master Bi did not fall in cultivation after he came out of seclusion, his strength will be much lower than before after losing the thunder banner. In addition, Master Zhu died. If the chance of defeating Tiannan before was 60%, now I am afraid it is one or two percent. Gone!"
When the old man said this, he suddenly shook his head and said:
"No! The situation could be more serious!"
"Before the retreat, Divine Master Bi specifically described several treasures and magical powers of a fierce man, and also mentioned that the man claimed to be a monk from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
"Although judging from the movement path, this person went all the way south, it cannot be ruled out that he will return."
"If that person participated in the war, plus the three great monks from Tiannan, we Mulan tribe would not be able to die in Tiannan on the spot! We wouldn't have to persist for hundreds or even thousands of years!
"Even if the vicious man doesn't participate in the battle, even if we are lucky enough to win! What if the vicious man comes back to Tiannan to try to harm us! What if he injures that disciple in the battle, wouldn't he be killed on the spot!"
"The three Masters of God may still be able to protect themselves if they join forces, but the others can only be killed one after another."
"We can't give up all the territory resources. All the mages should huddle in the temple and defend through the formation without leaving the house!"
The people around were silent for a while.
".well."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word and sat down hard, his eyes full of grief, anger and helplessness.
The old man continued: "Previously, we considered that the combat power of the Yue Kingdom might be comparable to that of the late Yuanying, so we decided to let Master Tian deal with it. As a result, such a monster emerged from nowhere. It's really not as good as God. "
As he spoke, the old man looked at a big man in brocade robes. This was Mulan's newly promoted fourth divine master Tian Zhong.
Tian Zhong nodded lightly and said: "I am not confident that I can defeat Jiang Yun. After all, it is recorded in the classics that those aliens can cross levels to fight against the enemy. That person has only reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul for many years, but I am also a beginner. Soon after entering the late stage, I can only try my best to hold him back and prevent him from affecting other battle situations."
Obviously, in the eyes of these people, Jiang Yun's strength is at most the level of late Nascent Soul. Jiang Yun was not linked to the person who defeated the two divine masters.
Sitting in the main seat, a young woman in a green shirt who looked about twenty years old slowly stood up. Everyone present immediately became quiet when they saw this, obviously his status was extremely high.
The woman in green shirt said: "Although we have blocked the news, the Yinluo Sect will definitely become suspicious if Master Zhu is dead and unable to come forward."
"If they know that our strength has been severely damaged and that the Nine Nations Alliance has such terrifying strong men, they will definitely turn around and leave."
"Maybe they will turn around and find the Tutu people to attack us. After all, they don't want resources and territory. They only want the souls of immortal cultivators. The Tutu people will definitely not refuse!"
The mood of everyone present became increasingly depressed. They are certainly not fools to have cultivated to this point.
This time, the Yin Luo Sect was led by Fang Sect Master, who was in the late Yuan Ying period, and brought more than a dozen Yuan Ying monks within the sect to help out.
The reason why people work so hard is because both parties agreed that after the war of invading Tiannan, all the souls of the immortal cultivators from both sides would belong to them.
To put it bluntly, everyone wants what they need. The Mulan people want the territory, and the Yinluo Sect wants the soul.
But the prerequisite is that we can win or the battle is tense. If the enemy is too strong and our side is defeated miserably, not to mention collecting souls, even our own life will be involved, so we will definitely not do it.
A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt to the left of the woman said: "What Master Le said is reasonable. I also think that it is no longer advisable to attack Tiannan."
The black-faced man said in a low voice: "Now we are in a dilemma, Master Zhong, do you have a solution?"
Guru surnamed Le, Master Zhong.
The former is Saint Mulan, who controls an ancient bronze lamp that can summon clones of holy birds.
The latter is one of the four great masters of Mulan.
In the original work, Divine Master Zhong had an impressive record. Not only did he call Yin Yue an evil beast, but he also domineeringly invited Han Li and Yin Yue to go on the road together, chasing Han Li in a panic.
In the end, Han Li spurted out several large mouthfuls of blood essence to activate the magic weapon to escape from Master Zhong's spiritual consciousness in one breath and was able to escape. Later, Master Zhong also showed considerable strength in the Valley of the Fallen Demons.
Facing the eyes of others, Divine Master Zhong said slowly: "I have dealt with the three great monks in Tiannan, and their strength is not much different from mine. Among them, Wei Wuya is slightly stronger, but generally speaking, I don't have a fight with him. You can’t tell the winner from one day to the next.”
"I have also traveled to Dajin, and I have met many late-stage Nascent Soul monks from Dajin. Although most of them have never fought against each other, as far as I know, even Gan Laomo and Monk Yuanzhi are the best in the same class. He can also fight against two people of the same level at most, and it is very difficult to kill them in a one-on-one fight."
"The vicious man severely injured fellow Taoist Zhu in a single encounter, and the two fellow Taoists were defeated in less than a stick of incense. From this, it seems that this person is at least the peak of the late Nascent Soul, and is only one step away from becoming a god. The white mirror described by Fellow Daoist Bi is most likely a legendary spiritual treasure."
"Or maybe this person is an old monster in the stage of becoming a god!"
"But in short, no matter which one it is, it makes no difference to us."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the room became heavier.
Yes, with strength in front of you, is it important to become a god or not? I can't afford to fight him anyway. ,
Divine Master Zhong continued his analysis: "According to the information from several tribesmen hiding in Tiannan, there were monks who transformed gods in the Yue Kingdom. Not long ago, the Blood Killing Sect in Tianluo Kingdom was suspected to have been destroyed by the monks who transformed gods. We I thought it was just a rumor that was not credible, but I didn’t expect that one would actually appear this time.”
"In the past, Tiannan was unable to resist our Mulan tribe, and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's headquarters, Yu State, was also captured by us many times. In addition, this time with the help of the Yinluo Sect, I am still very confident in this battle."
"Now I suddenly feel that the water in the south is too deep and I can't figure out the details."
"But no matter what, we can't sit still and wait for death. I intend to send envoys to negotiate with Tiannan and at the same time find out the information about the old monster."
"If the grassland is unified by unexpected people, Tiannan will not be able to live in peace. After all, there is a price for the monks to take action. They will definitely not take action if they can."
"Rather than fighting with us who are at the end of our rope, Tiannan will definitely be more willing to support us with resources to stop the unexpected people and protect our own safety."
Countless years ago, the Mulan tribe also had god-transformation monks, and they knew some things.
Many people felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts when they heard this and expressed their agreement, but a few others struggled with their expressions. Master Zhong looked at them and said solemnly:
"It is true that this move is shameful, but it is a matter of life and death. For us Mulan people, even if we are used as a shield, it is better than waiting to die."
"For the time being, we must wait for the time to change. Perhaps one day in the future, an amazing and talented person will be born to lead our Mulan tribe to defeat the feuding Tutu tribe."
Master Le gritted his teeth and slapped the table heavily with his hand.
"As Saint Mulan, I agree to send an envoy to Tiannan. If everyone here has a better way, please feel free to speak out. If not, it will be implemented immediately."
There was silence and no one objected.
"Okay! This trip requires one person to be a bad person and advocate for unity, and one person to be a bad person and advocate for death and destruction. Is there anyone here who is willing?"
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge thunder sounded from afar, echoing endlessly between heaven and earth.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and they all stood up and walked towards the door.
Soon they saw a scene they would never forget.
The sky in the south has been completely shrouded in dark clouds, as if covering the entire Tianlan Grassland.
The Yinluo Sect monks on a flying boat in the distance also flew into the air and were stunned after seeing this scene.
Facing such a large-scale vision of heaven and earth, everyone was shocked and began to talk about it.
The mortals on the ground even thought that the world was about to overturn. The well-trained war horses neighed, and there was a large-scale commotion in the originally neat military formation.
A dozen large ancient beasts looked at the dark clouds in the distance as if they were seeing natural enemies, and they huddled on the ground and shivered.
After discussion, Mulan's Nascent Soul old monsters finally decided that Master Zhong, who was good at the art of clones, would go to the south to investigate and bring the only three thousand-mile teleportation talismans with him to save his life.
The Yin Luo Sect sent a Nascent Soul cultivator covered by a black hood to the south to investigate.
Even several states and counties in the Jin Dynasty close to the Tianlan Grassland saw the exaggerated scale of the calamity cloud from a distance.
Several old monsters in Dajin were far away from the grassland and did not see this strange phenomenon, but they all sensed slight changes in the aura between heaven and earth. Among them, the aura of thunder attribute gathered in a certain direction, and they looked at it one after another. In the direction of Tianlan Grassland.
The center of the calamity cloud
When the thunder tribulation began to form, Yinxuan had been locked by the energy between heaven and earth, and had nowhere to escape.
At this time, Yinxuan had returned to her original body shape. Her eighty-foot-long body was covered with dense silver dragon scales, flashing with fine lightning arcs and making crackling sounds.
The intensity of the aura is also rising rapidly, and the thick dragon power fills the land with a radius of hundreds of miles.
The thunder disaster came without warning. An extremely thick purple thunder column bombarded down. At that moment, there was first a bright light and a violent explosion, and then a shock wave with arcs and fire came oncoming.
Jiang Yun stood in the air, his eyes flashing with purple light as he observed Yinxuan's situation.
A few feet away, smoke and dust were billowing, mixed with sparks and lightning, but inside it was calm. Jiang Yun just released his consciousness slightly, which was enough to isolate the impact.
Soon after, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed in the air, and a deep pit with a diameter of a hundred feet appeared on the ground hit by lightning.
A layer of the surrounding grassland for hundreds of miles has been scraped off by the impact, exposing yellow-brown rock and soil. The soil near the deep pit has been scorched black and crystallized.
Soon Jiang Yun's mouth opened slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
Originally he was still worried about Yinxuan's safety, but Yinxuan's excited voice came through Ziyin, which made him stunned for a while.
Then careful observation revealed that not only was Yinxuan uninjured, the dragon scales all over her body became brighter, and dense thunder and lightning kept beating.
This is a manifestation of extremely abundant spiritual energy.
Other monsters survived the thunder tribulation with a narrow escape, but this one seemed to be taking a sauna.
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and quickly figured out the reason.
The Cangmu Divine Thunder in Yinxuan's body is one of the branches of the innate god Lei Yimu Zhenglei. Although the tribulation thunder just now was powerful, it was just an ordinary purple tribulation thunder. Compared with it, it was not even a grandson's grandson.
It is true that Yinxuan cannot control the Cangmu Divine Thunder, but the Divine Thunder will spontaneously protect her.
The result is that when it hits Yinxuan, it will be absorbed by the Cangmu Divine Thunder and turned into nutrients to feed back to Yinxuan.
According to the saying in the previous game: thunder attribute absorption. But the premise is that the power of thunder and lightning cannot be too strong, otherwise it will not be absorbed.
After all, no matter how high the level of the Cangmu Divine Thunder is, Yinxuan will only have the seventh level of peak cultivation. It is not the Divine Thunder that cannot withstand it, but Yinxuan.
After taking a look at Master Xu who had fled thousands of miles away and did not dare to approach him, Jiang Yun told Yinxuan:
"There may be a large force of unexpected people coming from behind. I will deal with these people. You can survive the disaster with peace of mind."
"In the eyes of ordinary people, surviving a tribulation means a narrow escape from death. Those who have just survived a thunder tribulation are all severely injured and are excellent fat sheep."
"Next, you hide in the calamity cloud and don't let anyone see your true situation. This can be considered as a backup plan."
"The spiritual power in your body has already reached its limit, and it cannot be improved before your cultivation level is broken through. But this time, you can temper your body, scales, and bones as much as possible. The scale of this thunder disaster is beyond imagination, and it is a rare opportunity."
"If you really can't hold it any longer, please inform me in time, and I will find a way to eliminate the thunder tribulation."
Yinxuan looked at Jiang Yun worriedly, and finally let out a dragon roar, soared into the air, flew from the ground to high altitude with a few graceful turns, and got into the thick calamity cloud.
"Be careful yourself!" Yinxuan's voice came through Ziyin.
Jiang Yun smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life! When it's time to run away, I promise to run faster than anyone else!"
After Yinxuan got into the robbery cloud, the robbery thunder immediately became restless and became very violent, constantly bombarding Yinxuan. From the outside, you can only see a huge dragon shadow appearing in the clouds amid flashes of lightning, and from time to time, the sound of dragon roars can be heard.
At this time, Immortal Master Xu was thousands of miles away and did not dare to approach Jiang Yun at all.
He took out five white talismans, muttered to them, and then threw them out. These talismans turned into meteors and shot towards the distance at extremely fast speeds.
"High-level transmission notes!"
As if aware of Jiang Yun's murderous intention, Master Xu ran away into the distance without looking back, and soon disappeared from sight.
Jiang Yun hesitated slightly and finally did not pursue him, but chose to start setting up a trap.
Soon half a day passed.
The thunder calamity in the sky shows no signs of weakening.
During this period, dozens of high-level magicians arrived, including three early Nascent Souls, but they were all killed by Jiang Yun.
Another day and night passed.
The color of the thunder tribulation has turned silver, but Yinxuan is still able to do it with ease.
Jiang Yun killed hundreds of high-level monks who were approaching, including seven Nascent Souls. It's a pity that two escaped.
In the blink of an eye, it came to the beginning of Mao hour on the third day. The sun had not yet risen and the dark clouds shrouded the sky and the earth in darkness. Only the flashing thunder light illuminated the sky and the earth.
At this time, the color of the thunder tribulation changed again, turning into silver with strands of gold threads, which was close to the thunder tribulation that Xiao Jin encountered when he transformed.
The power is completely different from before. Each lightning strike will shatter dozens of dragon scales, while the skin will be ripped open and the dragon's blood will flow down.
This is the result of the Cangmu Divine Thunder absorbing part of the lightning and reducing the damage.
But Yinxuan still gritted her teeth and persisted, enduring as many thunder disasters as possible. This is not only related to the tempering of the body, but also related to the degree of transformation.
When I thought about not being chopped enough, I might end up with a dragon's head on my head after transforming. Yinxuan's heart was full of fighting spirit to fight against the thunder tribulation, and from time to time she would fight with the dragon's tail wrapped around the thunder and the dragon's claws.
Jiang Yun couldn't care about Yinxuan for the time being and looked towards the north.
Dense black spots appeared in the sky in the distance. The big black spots were large flying boats, and the small black spots were mages and spiritual beasts.
"He's still here after all!"
An hour later, the mighty army of Tutu people stopped hundreds of miles away from Jiangyun.
Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with purple light as he scanned the area for a while, observing that there were more than a hundred people at the Nascent Soul level alone, nearly twenty mid-level people, three late-level people, and countless people with pill-forming and below levels.
These are only part of the strength of the Tutu people. The grassland is so big that it will definitely be difficult to gather them all in just two or three days.
But even this is amazing enough to compete with the entire Tiannan.
Then four figures flew out from the army.
In the middle is a masked woman wearing a silver robe who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.
The other three are all in the later stages of Nascent Soul.
One of the handsome young men was Master Xu who had escaped before.
A beautiful woman with long purple hair, each holding a fist-sized black ghost head on her bare shoulders.
The last one was an old man with silver hair and burly clothes.
The woman in silver robe looked at Jiang Yun, who was expressionless, and Yin Xuan, who was wailing in the clouds.
This woman's eyes seemed bright and clear, but Jiang had practiced the Six Confusions of Heavenly Demon and could keenly sense the greed in her heart.
Then the silver-haired old man on the side said something to her, and the woman's greed became even stronger.
The woman flew in front of the crowd and said coldly to Jiang Yun: "The saintess Lin Yinping of the Tuwu tribe has met Taoist friend."
"Fellow Taoist killed the Lingxi Peacock of the Xu family. He was obviously powerful but deliberately showed weakness and escaped. He told nonsense along the way to tease my fellow Taoists from the Tuwu tribe. He really had no noble demeanor and made me look at him with admiration."
Mere cynicism has no effect on Jiang Yun. He doesn't care about these superficial things.
Jiang Yun didn't pay attention to this female cultivator with mental problems. Could it be that fighting all the way out of the core area of the sudden people is considered a master's demeanor?
Jiang Yun said to Master Xu: "It's lucky that Fellow Daoist Xu didn't die, and I didn't chase him and saved Fellow Daoist's life. You dare to come back today, but are you prepared for death?"
Master Xu was silent, but the female cultivator was furious.
The silver-robed female cultivator, who had a high status among the Tuwu tribe, had never been so ignored before. She immediately shouted angrily: "How presumptuous! I really thought I was a cultivator of gods!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu has practiced the secret technique of spiritual eyes. It has been confirmed that you are only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and have not hidden your cultivation. I think you just took advantage of the spiritual treasure to catch fellow Daoist Xu off guard!"
"Today, our Tuwu tribe's large troops are here, and three of the four great immortal masters are here."
"If my fellow Taoist knows what's going on, hand over the spiritual treasure and storage bag, and take the initiative to terminate the dragon's ownership contract. This saint may be able to let you live!"
Jiang Yun looked at the silver-robed woman with the eyes of a fool, and asked the three late Nascent Souls.
"Is it because you guys let this woman become a saint because she is stupid enough?"
