Three days later, in a secret room on the coastal battlefield of the Endless Sea.
Li Yuanxing, Cang Ling, Feng Wuji, Situ Lingkong, four Hongwu great masters gathered together.
There are also Dugu Hong, Han Feng, King Ying... and other core leaders of the coastal battlefield gathered together.
At this moment, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
Commander-in-Chief Duguhong said: "His Majesty has replied and agreed to the bet with the Siren Clan. I have also sent people to inform the Siren Clan and prepare to sign a blood oath."
After listening to what Duguhong said, even though they had expected it, the hearts of everyone present could not help but tremble.
This shocking bet with the Kraken clan was finally fulfilled.
If he wins, the Qianlan Empire will have the opportunity to develop steadily for three years.
If defeated, half of the territory will be surrendered, and the fertile land will turn into a vast ocean.
"Did your Majesty explain anything else?" Li Yuanxing asked.
Duguhong replied: "Your Majesty said, let us let go and fight.
If you lose, it will be overwhelming and God wills it.
But even if the territory is lost, as long as the empire still exists, there will be a day when it can regain its strength and regain its mountains and rivers. "
Hearing this, Li Yuanxing nodded happily.
"Your Majesty is indeed like an ancestor. Since your Majesty has such high hopes for us, this battle is destined not to disappoint your Majesty nor the people of the empire!"
Everyone present nodded secretly.
We also know that the cost of losing half of the country is huge.
If it really comes to that point, people will inevitably be displaced and starve to death everywhere.
Not only will the Qianlan Empire's national power shrink rapidly, but more importantly, once people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to reunite.
But if we don't make this bet in exchange for peace along the coast, the empire will be brought down sooner or later by the Kraken clan's long and high-pressure offensive.
Instead of doing this, it is better to fight with all your might and be reborn in Nirvana!
Now that they have come to this step, what everyone is discussing now is how to deal with the general attack launched by the South Sea Kraken clan in one month.
King Ying narrowed his small eyes, rubbed his mustache and said: "These sea monsters are so confident, they must have something to rely on, but it is a pity that the sea monsters' territory is too vast, and there is no information in the deep sea.
The "secret meeting" controlled by this king cannot be probed in depth at all, and it is impossible to determine their details. "
Everyone also knows that if the Dark Dragon King dares to make such a bet with the Qianlan Empire, he must be fully confident.
But today's Qianlan Empire is not what it used to be. Not only does it have two artifacts to control the country, Li Yuanxing has even entered the late Hongwu realm and can be evenly matched with the Dark Dragon King. What kind of trump card does the other party hold?
Finally, Li Yuanxing broke the silence.
"Although our Qianlan Empire has been fighting against the Siren Clan for hundreds of years, the Siren Clan has never regarded us as a real opponent. Their target is only the Tianyuan Dynasty.
And the power of the Kraken clan we see will definitely not be their true strength.
When I was traveling around the world, I also traveled overseas, and unexpectedly heard that the Kraken clan had a holy land called the "Primordial Sea". "
"Primal sea!"
After hearing these three words, everyone looked confused, obviously they had never heard of this place.
On the contrary, Cang Ling's delicate little face like a loli showed a hint of contemplation and reminiscence.
"Eh... when you said that, I remembered that a thousand years ago, when I was traveling in the Western Sea of China, I caught a big fish.
That guy was not weak. In order to save his life, he confided many secrets of the Kraken clan to me, including the "Primordial Sea". "
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and almost forgot that there was a three-thousand-year-old "living fossil" sitting here. Cang Ling naturally knew more information than the average person.
After being questioned by everyone, Can Ling informed that it was revealed by the "big fish" in her mouth.
The Primordial Sea is the holy land of the Kraken clan. It is located in the secret realm of the deep sea, with a vast territory and endless mysteries.
It is said that those who can cultivate in secret are the most evil geniuses of the Siren Clan, as well as the reclusive experts of the Siren Clan.
As for more information, the big fish didn't know it. It only knew all this by eavesdropping on the conversation between the two demon kings unintentionally.
"Is this news true and reliable?" Li Yuanxing also wanted further confirmation.
Cang Ling nodded repeatedly, "It must be true, that guy said anything to save his life.
And in order to confirm what he said, I smashed his head and tortured his soul. After confirming that he was telling the truth, I killed him completely. "
"Ahem...!"
Everyone was speechless for a while, and Han Feng secretly thought, this girl really has no spirit of contract at all.
After learning about the existence of the Primal Sea, everyone was not too surprised.
After all, everyone knows that the strength of the Kraken clan is definitely more than the twelve demon kings on the surface.
Otherwise, they would not be able to control a wider sea area than the mainland, and they would have been fighting with the Tianyuan Dynasty for nearly ten thousand years.
Li Yuanxing muttered: "It seems that in this battle, there will be strong people in the primitive sea taking action. I just don't know how many masters there are and how strong they will be."
While everyone was frowning and thinking, Han Feng suddenly asked: "Does the Tianyuan Dynasty know about this matter? Will they help?"
Mentioning this matter, Duguhong frowned and said: "The Tianyuan Dynasty did make a promise to help us contain the most powerful kings of the Kraken clan, but they did not mention the Primordial Sea."
At this time, Situ Lingkong, who had been silent, also said: "It is impossible for the Tianyuan Dynasty to fully help us unless the Qianlan Empire completely surrenders to them and gives up everything they have now.
Otherwise, today's Star-Moon Empire and Youtian Empire are examples. "
Both Youtian and Xingyue were unable to resist the attack of the Siren Clan. After the front lines collapsed and a large number of strong men were lost, the Tianyuan Dynasty sent troops to take control of the situation. The sovereignty of the country was in name only.
Li Yuanxing also nodded and said: "Yes, we have to face all this ourselves. If we don't want to be reduced to a chess piece, we must have the ability to jump out of the chessboard.
The only thing we can do now is to gather all the forces we can gather in this month on the coastal battlefield and risk everything to win this battle! "
Everyone nodded solemnly, their eyes extremely firm.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Cang Ling, how is Hu Yanzhan's current cultivation situation?"
When it comes to gathering strength, everyone naturally considers top combat power first.
Now there are four Hongwu-level experts in the Qianlan Empire. If Han Feng is added to the list, the number of people who can compete with the Hongwu-level can be counted as five.
In addition to the five people, the Qianlan Empire's most promising people now to enter this realm are Zhang Dingnan and Hu Yanzhan.
Both of them are extremely talented people. When they were at the peak of the Japanese level, they were the top beings in the mainland.
This time, after being teleported from the ruins, both of them had some insights and found an opportunity to prove Hongwu.
So, one was on the coastal battlefield, and the other returned to the Northern Xinjiang Province, and began to seize life and death and comprehend the Hongwu Avenue.
Today, Zhang Dingnan is still retreating in the Tianyan Tower at the Endless Sea Base.
Li Yuanxing asked about Hu Yanzhan's situation.
Hearing this, Cang Ling shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on with that little guy now. You and I are both experienced, and it's not like we don't know. Proving the Hongwu Dao is so difficult and dangerous. How can it be so easy? thing.
Although Hu Yanzhan is extremely talented, he got some opportunities in the ruins this time, but he may not be able to succeed.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, maybe he will suddenly have an epiphany now and usher in the great disaster of Hongwu, hehe..."
Cang Ling smiled and said it casually, just treating it as a joke.
Unexpectedly, she just finished speaking.
Everyone suddenly felt that there was a faint pressure from heaven coming from the north of the empire.
This feeling is extremely subtle and seems to come from a distant world.
If it weren't for the people present at the top of the empire's cultivation level, it would be impossible to sense such subtle changes in the weather of heaven and earth.
In an instant, there was deathly silence in the secret room. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
The next moment, everyone's figures in tacit understanding flashed and appeared above the base and above the clouds.
Everyone looked far away. To the north of the empire, the old God of War's eyes were floating with blue light. Cang Ling also had two "whirlpool-like" red lights in his eyes...
Everyone used their magical powers, and Han Feng also used his eyes to look at the weather in the distant heaven and earth.
I saw that in the distant world, a heavy force of heavenly power gathered.
Even Han Feng's heart palpitated inexplicably when he sensed this aura of heavenly punishment, which had a natural suppressive power.
"Great catastrophe in the Hongwu Realm!"
After a while, Li Yuanxing finally blurted out.
Everyone was also shocked. At this moment, who else is attacking the Hongwu Realm in this direction? It must be him, Hu Yanzhan.
Han Feng couldn't help but look at Cang Ling and thought to himself, Teacher Cang must be "open".
