Chapter 423 Encounter with the Six Sects Team
In previous years, the Mulan people also often used this trick in the war between the two tribes.
These people did not gather on the front battlefield, relying on the advantage of dispersed numbers to constantly harass the grassroots of the Nine Nations Alliance. If you send people to manage them, they will be led by the nose. If you ignore them, they will gather and disperse from time to time. When they seize the opportunity, they will join forces to attack the affiliated families of various factions and resource locations, causing destruction, and the Three Lights Policy.
Kill, rob and burn, like locusts.
The local chaos will affect the gathering of frontal forces, and people's hearts will be unstable. If you are slow in one step, you will be slow in every step. If you are not careful, the Mulan people will be able to advance to the softer belly area in one breath, and it will be out of control.
This is a strategic disadvantage, which is almost unsolvable.
The so-called strategic disadvantage is that the initiative of the attack has always been in the hands of the Mulan people.
The reason is very simple. It is not about strength or not, but about resources and system. Tiannan people are rich in resources. As long as they go in, they will not return empty-handed. There are many benefits. On the contrary, if Tiannan takes the initiative to attack, the Mulan people are poor and the grassland is vast. No one can be seen for half a month. They will get nothing after tossing for a long time.
Secondly, the system of the Nine Nations Alliance is essentially a sect alliance formed by various sects in the face of external threats.
When the Mulan people come, organize everyone to resist, no one has anything to say, but let them attack the Mulan people for a long time, without any direct gains, just based on strategic significance, it is impossible to convince the immortal cultivators.
However, after so many years of confrontation, the Nine Nations Alliance has also summed up a set of stupid methods.
They have set up a large number of formation strongholds on the first-line borders of Fengyuan Country and in the depth of the second line, like stars everywhere. If the Mulan people want to go in, in addition to the scattered small troops, the vanguard army must go through and must remove these stronghold formations one by one. Otherwise, the army will go in first, and then the Tiannan monks can use these strongholds to quickly block the retreat of the Mulan people, constantly attack their front and back, cut off the Mulan people in half, and close the door to fight the dog. At the very least, it can also delay the pace of the Mulan people and give Tiannan more time to gather strength. Therefore, the focus of both parties in the early stage will be concentrated on these formation strongholds.
Back to the point, the two had no choice but to encounter more than a dozen Mulan teams on the road.
The environment on the way back was complicated. If this continued, the Mulan people would sooner or later send their masters to chase and intercept them, so the two also used a stupid method to pretend to be Mulan grassroots magicians.
This is not difficult for them, it is nothing more than finding someone to search the soul and disguise.
Xu Qingyang once got a high-level shape-changing technique from the leader of the Hidden Evil Sect. Within a period of time, even the aura can be completely transformed into the disguised person, and the Nascent Soul cultivators with ordinary spiritual awareness can't tell. The team they chose was originally a team of a small tribe, and they were calm and unhurried along the way.
But after walking for five or six days, they encountered a large team.
This large team forcibly annexed them for some unknown purpose. The two once suspected that they had revealed their flaws somewhere. After all, they were pretending to be others, and there were always some habits that could not be changed for a while.
Although they secretly investigated, they didn't find anything good or bad.
So they didn't think much about it, and quietly hid in this team and went deep into Fengyuan Country. With nothing to do, Xu Qingyang had the opportunity to get to know the Mulan people carefully. They were not excited to go rob, and the atmosphere was very solemn. Ordinary Mulan people only knew that the superiors had issued a death order this time. This time, they could only advance and not retreat. It was completely inconsistent with the previous idea of robbing and running, and it didn't matter if they kept pulling for decades.
Those Jindan magicians were always on edge.
Xu Qingyang observed along the way, and with the information in his memory, he was able to restore the basic situation of this war. The problem was no longer the Mulan people, but the Tuwu people behind them.
The Tuwu people and the Mulan people lived in the same grassland.
But they were two completely independent ethnic groups with the Mulan people. They had been fighting each other until now, and they were completely mortal enemies. Everyone wanted to expel the other party, or even kill them all, to become the only overlord of the grassland. The war that was about to start with Tiannan was the continuation of their fight.
Obviously, the Mulan people were at a disadvantage.
It was not even just a matter of disadvantage. It must be that the Tuwu people put them under life-and-death pressure, forcing them to rush to find a breakthrough from Tiannan to solve the situation of genocide.
The Tuwu people alone could not have this strength.
So there were deeper background factors behind this war. All the way to the southeast, across the vast grassland, there is a place known as the holy land of the human world, Dajin. Dajin borders the Tuwu people, and there are many exchanges of interests between them. Once the Mulan people have the support of the Dajin forces, they can deal with the Mulan people wholeheartedly.
The Mulan people have fallen into a dead end from the perspective of geography and the relationship with their neighbors.
If Xu is now the leader of the Nine Nations Alliance, he may try to communicate first, such as supporting the Mulan people to resist the Tuwu people in exchange for his own side not directly participating in the war.
Even if it bleeds, it is better than dying desperately.
Unfortunately, he is not, and currently he does not have the strength and prestige to convince the four major organizations in Tiannan, and even if he can communicate, the current effect is not very ideal.
The hatred between the Mulan people and the Tiannan monks is already very deep.
Trust is a huge problem. The key is that the Mulan people still have the power to fight, and they have a serious fluke mentality. There is indeed a probability of success. As long as they take over Tiannan, at the cost of the extermination of the Tiannan people, they will get a space that is more suitable for survival than the grassland.
Every Mulan person now has this dream, regardless of high or low status, and unprecedented unity.
"Brother Xu, look!"
One day, the two of them were discussing when to leave the team. They didn't know the situation ahead and were rashly exposed. They were likely to run into the area where the Mulan people were gathering troops in the front.
During the voice conversation, a team of people in different costumes came galloping from behind.
"Stop them, don't let any of them escape!"
A sharp shout suddenly came from the team. A late-stage Jindan mage who was leading the team raised his chest and accepted the order with great respect, and then said in a loud voice: "Men of the Tianfeng Tribe, form a formation!"
As if the discipline of Master Mulan was engraved in his bones, he formed several arrays at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that the distance between the pair of people was almost the same, the flags of the main formations in each formation wavered, and Biao Feng appeared out of thin air. There were not many people in the team, just a dozen, but all of them were Jindan monks. Facing the Mulan people, The fierce winds released by the magic circle each used their magic weapons, and for a while, colorful spiritual lights "Bingbing Bangbang" resounded through the sky.
"Everyone, just kill these wolf cubs!"
The one who said Ha was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and strong magical power.
Although he is not the team leader and does not have a subordinate, no one refutes his opinion. The size of this Mulan team is only two or three golden elixirs. Even if there are many middle and low-level magicians forming a formation, it is definitely not Their opponents.
"Oh, what a coincidence"
Xu Qingyang and Han Li were also involved in the formation, and it was not difficult for them to master the Mulan people's basic formation.
However, that team was obviously dressed as Tiannan monks, which really surprised them. They should not be too familiar with the clothes of these people. Most of them were in the style of the six sects of the Yue Kingdom, and several of them were known to both of them, such as The middle-aged man who just gave the order.
Not only do they know him, but they don't like this guy.
"Junior Brother Han, there is a team of monks from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance here. It seems that the front is still in Tiannan's hands..."
Since it is in Tiannan's hands, there is no need to worry about rushing into the encirclement of the main force of Mulan's vanguard. There is no need to continue to linger here. The right way is to return to Tiannan quickly.
At this moment, the Tiannan team also discovered that these Mulan people were too calm.
A beautiful woman in palace attire frowned, suddenly raised her head and said urgently: "The situation is not right, Senior Brother Lei, we should go back and hand over the task quickly, and don't get entangled with the Mulan people anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, an ordinary car appeared below A disdainful laugh came from the beast cart: "A group of juniors want to leave after bumping into one!"
Before he finished speaking, an old man flew into the air.
As soon as this person appeared, the Mulan people became excited, babbling and shouting in unknown Tu language.
"No, it's Master Mulan!!"
The members of the sect felt as if they were struck by lightning, their faces turned as white as paper, and the strongest ones were also panicked. But running was the most dangerous thing at this moment. They would be defeated one by one, so they had to fight to the death.
But below, Xu Qingyang also smiled.
Even after hiding in the team for so long, they didn't even realize that there was a Master Mulan hiding there. Moreover, they had seen him before, the Master Mu who blocked Xu Qingyang's path and was shocked by his roar. , Let’s not talk about why this guy was hiding here. Seeing him, Xu Qingyang decided to take action.
He held it in the air, and the dark red dragon bow appeared in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Master Mu's ears suddenly moved, and his eyes instantly shifted from the Tiannan team, locking the positions of Xu Qingyang and the two.
Qi and blood are functioning, the exercises are ineffective, and the appearance is restored at the same time.
"It's you!"
Master Mu screamed strangely and without hesitation released a large piece of blue ice crystal. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Xu Qingyang retracted his dragon bow in an instant, kicked the ground violently, and rushed into the sky with a "boom". The accident happened too fast, Mulan Before anyone and the Tiannan team could react, Han Li's sword energy was raging wildly.
"Damn it!"
Master Mu cursed in his heart, never expecting to see this person again.
Unluckily enough, he was yelled at by Xu Qingyang. After returning to rendezvous, he was told that no one in the other directions had been caught and the matter might be leaked, so he entered Tiannan lurking in an ordinary team.
It was supposed to be silent, but a group of Tiannan Jindan came inexplicably from behind.
It wouldn't work if he didn't show up, but with his appearance and the arrangements he made in the team, he discovered Xu Qingyang who was planning to take action. It was a great blessing among misfortunes. The enemy faced him head-on. Master Mu was prepared, and those ice crystals Under his control, it was as powerful as the dense rain.
Xu Qingyang didn't hold back and immediately held up a blood shield.
"Swish" Xu Qingyang frowned under the impact and reached out to grab a few ice crystals.
This magic weapon is not like a magic weapon, nor is it a magic weapon, nor is it a magic creation. Holding it in your hand, it is bone-chilling, as if some extremely yin energy has been condensed in advance and released at once.
"Spiritual magic, ha~"
He had long heard that the Mulan people's characteristic system was a bit disappointing.
This so-called spiritual art is completely poor. When using magic weapons, the Mulan people lack the corresponding materials. When using spells, the price-performance ratio seems to be very high. However, at the Yuanying level, advanced spells are extremely difficult to master, and the "forward swing" time of release is long. It is long and extremely unsuitable for high-intensity fighting. No matter how powerful it is, you will die several times when it is released.
So this so-called spiritual technique came into being.
Just by feeling it with his hands, he was able to analyze that this thing was a disposable consumable that consumed time and mana and was condensed with Kung Fu. Every time it was used, it had to be prepared in advance.
It is indeed very convenient when used, but it delays daily practice.
Although he looked down on them, Master Mu knew that his opponent was strange and unfathomable. He went all out when he started. The blue ice crystals in his sleeves were endless, turning into blue giant pythons, and madly rushed to upgrade Xu Qingyang's blood shield. This war of attrition would make anyone frown. God knows how much he has prepared.
He couldn't do it by force, so Xu Qingyang reached out and took out a golden talisman pen.
He was seen using one hand to wash the blue giant python, and holding the pen in the other hand to draw talismans in the void. The twisted golden symbols were outlined and formed. Xu Qingyang turned the talisman pen and shouted: "Quick~"
The light of the symbol transformed by the golden text flashed and disappeared, and a golden vortex appeared out of thin air in front of him.
"Well, not good!!"
Master Mu's face changed drastically, but the vortex trapped the blue giant python in one breath, like a black hole. What was even more amazing was that a vortex also appeared below Xu Qingyang, just facing the Mulan formation underground. Blue ice crystals gushed out of the vortex crazily, and the ground was in a mess.
"Senior, we are here to help you!"
The Tiannan team did not stand there and watched. Seeing the situation turn around, they began to use magic weapons to besiege Master Mu.
Master Mu was furious. He pointed his finger repeatedly, and the blue giant python instantly dispersed and turned into ice crystals all over the sky. In another instant, it formed a crystal wall, blocking all attacks.
This was not over yet. He vomited at the same time.
The black magic weapon flew into the sky and instantly turned into a huge peak of a hundred feet. Even Xu Qingyang felt the invisible pressure.
"Die!"
The giant peak was not fancy at all. It smashed down head-on with the force of thunder. The movement was so loud that the Tiannan team was sweating and frightened. If this senior could not stop it, it would be difficult for them to return safely today. However, the crystal had a strong defense and they could not break it together.
"Hehe, you are really good!"
Xu Qingyang suddenly pushed his right hand upward, and a large golden light condensed into a lotus platform under his feet.
"Boom"
The giant peak fell, but it stopped.
Xu Qingyang remained calm, with one hand slightly bent, holding the hundred-foot giant peak above his head steadily. The scene was like an ant shaking a mountain, and Master Mu, who drove the giant peak to attack, was flushed.
"So strong!"
The Tiannan team was very excited, and curious for a moment, who was this master in Tiannan.
As for Han Li, after a fierce attack, the Mulan formation hosted by three Jindan was shattered, and each fled for his life. He did not intend to chase them, but stood still, pinched his hands, and more than ten Qingzhu Fengyun swords merged into a huge lightsaber. He shouted, and the lightsaber flashed and concentrated on Master Mu's crystal wall.
"Bang~"
Half of the crystal wall collapsed, and the Tiannan team also took the opportunity to greet frantically.
But Master Mu could not care about these things. Facing the enemy in front of him, he held his magic weapon in one hand and somehow managed to seize control of it, then raised the giant peak and swung it at him fiercely.
