"The Chu army was defeated." Jianzong Zuojian reported to Yu Xi: "Mangdang Mountain collapsed and flew off the cliff, blocking the Chu army's backup and fighting fiercely in the middle of the night. After Zhaoyuan led his army to attack, the front camp was destroyed."
Yu Xi asked: "What's the doubt?"
Zuo Jian said: "General Zhao Boya and his four subordinates died in the battle."
Yu Xi was moved: "All of them died in the battle?"
Zuo Jian nodded: "All of them died in the battle, and no one survived. Zhaobo Ya is a senior in the God Refining Realm. He has experienced three Chu-Wu wars, and countless small battles. Generals Cheng Zhe and Cheng Mu, brothers, are in the God Refining Realm. He has always been a brave general fighting against the Jin State. The generals Sun Huai and Jing Xiu are both in the realm of refining gods. They were transferred from the direction of the Ba State and are the guards of Baling Pass."
Yu Xi asked: "In a night battle, five Chu generals at the God Refining Realm were killed. Do you think Mangdang Mountain has the strength?"
Zuo Jian shook his head: "The heavy losses have been rare in the past ten years. Let alone Mangdang Mountain, the Chu army has fought against Jin and Wu for many years. No matter which battle, there has never been such a heavy loss. The strength of Mangdang Mountain is unmatched by us. You know, the four refining gods Yuan Zirang, Lu Fang, Jin Youxiang, and Yongzhi, and the three divine wizards Dao Nanshe, Huang Feilong, and Anuo have no problem saying that they have the upper hand in the surprise attack, but there is no problem in thinking about a It is absolutely impossible to kill all the five generals of the Chu army without falling."
Yu Xi said: "So, Shen Wu showed up?"
Zuo Jian nodded: "Normally there must be a high-level cultivator behind him, but even if he applies to Shen Wu, can he achieve this level?"
Yu Xi said: "Don't underestimate Shen Wu. If Shen Wu is Shen Yu, it will make sense."
Shen Yu is the biggest suspect in the massacre of Yingdu Academy. He can make Shen Zhuliang and Si Xiangwei leave no one alive. No matter how you overestimate his strength, it is not too much.
Youjian had been silent all this time, but now he suddenly said: "I'm going to find him, I want to compete with him!"
Yu Xi Wen said: "I know you are obsessed with Taoism, but this is not the time for a martial arts competition. If Shen Wu and Shen Yu were the same person, he would be the enemy of our Jixia Academy. We must not ignore it, and we must not act rashly. We should act accordingly." Take people first.”
Zuo Jian said: "According to this, the Chu army has retreated after this defeat. Zhaoyuan ordered them to withdraw from the mountain and prepare for a soft and appeasement strategy. Let Cui Ming go to Mangdang Mountain to persuade them to surrender."
Yu Xi was a little surprised: "After such a heavy setback, plus the former partial general Sun Liang, the Chu army lost six members of Lian Shen, Zhao Yuan can actually endure this? He is really a character!"
While he was talking, Zhaoyuan sent someone to apologize to Yu Xi, saying that he had failed to fulfill his trust and could not go south anymore.
Yu Xi replied kindly, saying that he asked Zhao Yuan not to worry about it.
After the Chu people left, You Jian asked: "If the Chu army retreats, how can they search for Shen Wu's whereabouts?"
Yu Xi said: "No need, I have made arrangements. Now that Shen Wu appears, the next step is our business."
As expected, the Chu army retreated, resolutely and without delay. When Wu Sheng saw Cui Ming appearing on the official road in a car, he knew that the war was over. The Chu army had been beaten too hard, and he needed to change his strategy. .
Wu Sheng relaxed slightly, but the string in his heart did not relax. He always felt that someone was looking for him. Although he did not find him, he kept staring at this valley.
This put a lot of pressure on him, but the safety of Mangdang Mountain had not yet been determined, so he could not leave with peace of mind.
Wu Sheng went underground again and resumed his previous lurking state. He asked Hook Snake to be on guard outside while he concentrated on refining the five natal magic weapons.
The harvest from this battle was great. Four of the five natal magic weapons came from the Chu army's general Pi, and the double hammers came from Zhao Boya, the general on the chariot. Refining it as soon as possible to improve his cultivation level is Wu Sheng's top priority right now.
The two sides have been working hard to negotiate. Cui Ming spent more than a month going back and forth between the Chu Army Camp and Mangdang Mountain. When Lu Fang followed Cui Ming by car to the Chu Army Camp outside the valley, Wu Sheng knew that the two sides Negotiations are almost at the end and an agreement is about to be reached.
Wu Sheng has no contact with Mangdang Mountain. Ever since he gave Mangdang Mountain to Lu Fang and Jin Wuhuan, he has become indifferent to the ownership of this fiefdom. Now that Yongguo has been destroyed, his only hope is that these relatives and friends are safe and sound. , continue to live freely in this land, their land and wealth will not be plundered at will, their wishes will not be forced by others, and they actually don't care whether they are incorporated into the Chu State.
More than half a month later, when he knew for sure that the two parties had reached an agreement, Wu Sheng finally completed the refinement of Zhaoboya's natal twins.
The five natal magic weapons gave Wu Sheng five cloud patterns, three of which were repeated and two of which were new theorems. They were driven into the Qi Sea by Wu Sheng and continued to improve and build his Qi Sea world.
The biggest gain is the spiritual sand. The influx of nearly 700,000 spiritual sand has greatly increased the "resolution" of the Qi Sea world. The mountains, rivers and valleys have become clearer, and the true energy has become deeper.
Wu Sheng emerged from the hole in the ground and was about to leave. A gust of breeze blew away the mud on his body.
When he was about to leave, he stopped again, remained silent for a moment, and turned around.
Two swordsmen, one on the left and one on the right, wearing gray linen short clothes and hats, were separated behind them. The one on the left has his left arm broken, and the one on the right is missing his right arm. Just standing there, you can hardly feel the breath on their bodies.
Even the hooked snake seemed to have just seen them, and it immediately raised its neck and spat out words at the two people.
"It was hidden underground, no wonder I couldn't find it." The man who was missing his right arm suddenly said.
The man with the missing left arm on the other side stared at Wu Sheng, licked his lips, and asked: "Are you Shen Wu? Or Shen Yu? What is this snake? Are you a witch cultivator or an alchemist?"
Wu Sheng raised his hand and said, "Who are the two of you?"
The swordsman who was missing his right arm said: "The two of us are under the command of Fengxing. I don't remember my real name. You can call me the sword sect's left sword, and this is the right sword."
Wu Sheng's heart sank to the bottom: "Yu Zongxing?"
Zuo Jian said: "My family believes in going down the mountain to investigate cases. I advise you not to struggle in vain and just come with us."
Wu Sheng asked: "How did you find me?"
Zuo Jian said: "How can you understand the methods of the academy?"
Wu Sheng asked: "Where is Yu Fengxing? Where is he?"
Zuo Jian said: "Yu Fengxing is waiting for you at the foot of the mountain... Where is Zhaoboya's magical weapon? Where is it hidden?"
Wu Sheng looked around the mountain, looking for Yu Fengxing.
Zuo Jian flew out of the long sword on his back, opened the cave where Wu Sheng was hiding, and looked at the entrance of the cave for a moment: "Where is Zhaoboya's magical weapon?"
Wu Sheng asked: "What did you do to the natal magic weapon?"
Zuo Jian threw out a rope: "Tie it yourself, so you don't have to worry about me."
Wu Sheng suddenly smiled.
Zuo Jian frowned: "Prisoner below, why are you laughing?"
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Are all the methods used by the academy like this? To win by frightening?"
Zuo Jian asked lightly: "What do you mean?"
Wu Sheng said: "First, Yu Fengxing is not nearby, and second, you two are not sure of taking me down, so you are delaying time here. Am I right?"
