Chapter 1593  Southern Expedition to the East

Let's talk about the southern expeditionary army divided into two routes, two-pronged approach.

Lingchen, along the endless ocean, from west to east.

After three days and nights of rapid travel, Lingchen arrived at the northeastern waters of Nanyuezhou. This direction is straight to the south, where the Five Elements Gate is!

"Senior Gong! This is it!" Looking at the compass on the Lingchen, Wan Xingyun pointed to the Five Elements Mountain Range and said respectfully: "This is the Five Elements Gate!"

"Is this the kid's lair?" A white-haired old man said to himself: "I really don't know what you sects that claim to be holy places are doing! A mere Yuanying cultivator is worth mobilizing so many troops? Just kill him!"

"Senior Gong is right! Just kill him!"

Wan Xingyun's attitude became more and more humble.

Just because the white-haired old man is a spiritual world celestial master.

This person is called Gong Xianyuan, who is responsible for all matters on the Lingchen and is also the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition east route army. Not only is he a celestial master, but his two brothers are also celestial masters.

Gong Xianyuan, Gong Xianchun, Gong Xianzhen, the three brothers of the Gong family overwhelmed the Eastern Route Army.

The remaining two spiritual world celestial masters were weak and usually kept a low profile; Gong Xianchun and Gong Xianzhen only followed the lead of their eldest brother Gong Xianyuan.

In other words, the Southern Expedition to the Eastern Route Army was decided by Gong Xianyuan alone...

As long as Gong Xianyuan was determined to kill Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian would definitely die!

After determining the direction, the Lingchen would no longer move eastward, but head southward.

According to Wan Xingyun's calculations, as long as they crossed the Death Sandbar and the Northern Wilderness Prairie, they would be in the heart of Nanyuezhou and could reach the Five Elements Gate directly.

Even if Xiao Mian was not in the Five Elements Gate, Wan Xingyun was not afraid!

Once the Five Elements Gate fell, Wan Xingyun did not believe that he, Xiao Mian, could still hold back!

In the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference that year, Xiao Mian had the opportunity to become the Supreme.

At the critical moment, the Five Elements Gate was attacked and was in danger.

Rumor has it that Xiao Mian gave up the competition and the title of No. 1 in the world just to rush back to Nanyuezhou to help the Five Elements Sect.

Later, there was news: Xiao Mian broke out and established his own mountain.

But with Wan Xingyun's understanding of Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian would not stay out of it!

So, instead of chasing Xiao Mian all over the world, it is better to attack the Five Elements Sect!

Wan Xingyun thought he knew Xiao Mian, but he overestimated himself...

When the Lingchen entered the Death Sandbar, two earth-level treasure ships also entered the Death Sandbar - one was the Fire Blessing and the other was the Ice Blessing!

Right in the heart of the Death Sandbar, the two sides met on a narrow road.

On the Lingchen, there are indeed five great spiritual world celestial masters.

On the Ice Blessing and the Fire Blessing, they are not just for show.

Huofu, with Wanzong Saint and Chilian Patriarch in charge, brought with them a group of elite cultivators from Wanzong City - from the upper three sects to the lower nine classes, all with Nascent Souls!

Bingfu, with Hunyuan Patriarch and Elder Hu in charge, brought with them idle cultivators from outside Wanzong City - Huoyun Ridge, Five Elements Sect, Luohua Valley and even individual cultivators!

The overall strength of both sides is almost the same.

One side came from afar and attacked in large numbers.

The other side was at the gates of the city and fought back.

When two sides meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win!

Neither side said much and went straight into battle mode.

Only Xiao Mian was jumping up and down.

"Listen up, you spiritual world cultivators! You invaded my homeland, slaughtered my compatriots, and harmed my people. How can this be tolerated? In today's battle, I will send all of you back to your spiritual world home, and beat you until your own mothers don't recognize you!"

"Who is this man?"

"Old Senior Gong! This is that——Xiao Mian of Nanyue!"

"What an arrogant kid! Third brother! Go meet him!"

Gong Xianyuan said this, and the third brother of the Gong family, Gong Xianzhen, was about to take the order and leave.

It was Wan Xingyun, whose eyes turned and his face changed slightly.

"Old Senior Gong, wait a moment! This kid has always been insidious and cunning. If only Senior Gong San goes alone, I'm afraid... It's better to let Senior Gong Er go with him!"

"Hmph! Boy! Are you saying that I can't beat that kid?"

Faced with Gong Xianzhen's questioning, Wan Xingyun said he didn't dare.

Fortunately, Gong Xianyuan thought of the minimum goal of this southern expedition, which is to kill Xiao Mian. Killing Xiao Mian is the first priority of this southern expedition.

"Second brother! You and third brother go! Be sure to kill them all!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, Gong Xianchun and Gong Xianzhen flashed away.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the two men, the three spiritual world celestial masters headed by Gong Xianyuan did not hesitate to rush out of the Lingchen and fight with Wan Zongsheng and others.

The two brothers Gong Xianchun and Gong Xianzhen sneaked out of the Lingchen and quietly walked towards Xiao Mian who was shouting in front of the Huofu.

Just when the two celestial masters were about to bring Xiao Mian into the attack range, Xiao Mian was like a fish, swimming with the water, and landed directly on the Death Sandbank below the battle group.

What a slippery boy!

The two brothers of the Gong family looked at each other, and simply used the escape method to chase after him.

Xiao Mian was in front, and the Gong brothers were behind, and the three rushed into the Death Sandbank.

After a chase, it was seen that Xiao Mian in front was about to be exhausted, and the Gong brothers had even begun to prepare a killing move, intending to send Xiao Mian off.

At this moment, a huge portal appeared in front of the three people.

The deep underground of the Death Sandbar seemed to be hollowed out!

Before the two brothers of the Gong family could see through the details of the portal, three black lights flew out from the huge portal, and the black lights appeared, turning into three ghost cultivators from the spirit world!

These three ghost cultivators from the spirit world are all at the Tianzun realm!

When the two sides met, the Gong brothers were shocked, and even the three ghost cultivators from the spirit world did not seem to expect someone to suddenly appear here.

But at this moment, Xiao Mian shouted.

"Two seniors! This is the gate to the underworld - as long as the gate to the underworld here is destroyed, the ghost cultivators from the spirit world will suffer heavy losses!"

"You! Who said you want to destroy it..."

"What a cowardly Taoist lackey! How dare you sneak attack my ghost stronghold? Kill!"

After a disagreement, the three ghost cultivators from the spirit world besieged the Gong brothers.

Poor Gong brothers, although they are brothers of the same mind, facing the siege of the three ghost cultivators from the spirit world, the two brothers are in danger.

First, the ghost cultivators are three against two, and they have the advantage in numbers.

Second, even if they fight alone, the strength of any ghost cultivator is much stronger than that of the Gong brothers, and it is common for the strong to beat the weak.

At this moment, another ghost rushed out of the gate to the underworld.

Xiao Mian saw it and his face changed slightly.

This person is none other than the Nine Netherworld Emperor——Xia Jiuyou!

After glaring at Xiao Mian fiercely, Xia Jiuyou said nothing and joined the battle.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief...

Seeing this, the Gong brothers were disheartened.

Facing the three ghost cultivators joining forces, the two brothers were already stretched to the limit, and now with the addition of the Nine Netherworld Emperor, the two brothers would surely lose.

With no fighting spirit, the two brothers looked at each other and fled.

However, they were trapped on all sides, and the only place the two brothers could escape was the spirit world!

The next moment, the Gong brothers fled in panic.

It was Xiao Mian who was surrounded by Xia Jiuyou and the other four ghost gods.

"You kid! So clever——killing with a borrowed knife!"

"Senior Netherworld Emperor, thank you for your praise! It's the seniors who have the quickest knives!"

"Hmph! I am a ghost cultivator in the spirit world, how can you let you plot against me at will?" With a cold snort, Xia Jiuyou suddenly made a move and grabbed Xiao Mian's neck. Xiao Mian did not move, allowing Xia Jiuyou to grab his neck, and said with difficulty: "Senior Minghuang! If you kill me, you are not afraid... Aren't you afraid that the master in the spirit world will punish you?"

"..."

Xia Jiuyou was stunned when he heard this, pinching Xiao Mian's neck, without saying a word.

But at this moment, a faint light passed by, and Fu Qingqiong came late.

"Minghuang!"

"..., young master! This boy is insidious and treacherous, and he must not be kept!"

"Xia Jiuyou! Are you questioning my judgment?" Facing Jiuyou Minghuang, Fu Qingqiong said calmly: "Minghuang! Master asked you to supervise me, but not to interfere with me! I am fully responsible for all matters in this forbidden training!"

"Young master, calm down! This old slave dare not!"

The dignified Eternal Heavenly Lord, Jiuyou Minghuang, lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing in front of Fu Qingqiong.

As a result, the hand that was pinching Xiao Mian's neck suddenly loosened.

Xiao Mian's face was pale, and he was breathing heavily, but he was determined in his heart.

"Although I may be suspected of using a knife to kill someone, the spiritual cultivators are on an expedition to South Vietnam, and their target is the Five Elements Gate. Once they conquer the Five Elements Gate, the Gate to the Underworld under the Five Elements Gate will be exposed. At that time, it will be difficult for you seniors to stay out of it!"

"What do you think?"

"South Vietnam can be in chaos, but the Five Elements Gate cannot be broken!"

"..." Looking at Xiao Mian, Fu Qingqiong pondered for a moment and said decisively: "I understand! Hades! You still need to go with me for this matter!"

"Yes!"

Although he was unwilling, Xia Jiuyou had to obey.

First, the Ghost Emperor gave Fu Qingqiong full authority to seal the training.

Second, Fu Qingqiong was the Ghost Emperor's appointed disciple. Not only was his status respected, but he was likely to ascend to the spirit world under the protection of the Ghost Emperor in the future.

If Xia Jiuyou wanted to go further, he had to follow Fu Qingqiong.

But the Gate to the Underworld could not be exposed, and the ghost cultivators in the spirit world could not show up.

Fu Qingqiong, Xia Jiuyou and Xiao Mian flew up together.

Above the Death Sandbar, the battle between the Southern Expedition Army and the South Vietnam Army was in full swing.

Suddenly, Gong Xianyuan's heart moved and his face changed slightly.

When the Gong brothers were driven back to the spirit world by the ghost cultivators, although there was no time to pass the news to Gong Xianyuan, Gong Xianyuan still felt it at the first time.

What happened! ?

In doubt, Gong Xianyuan wanted to return to the Lingchen, but Wan Zongsheng, who had received the news, tried his best to entangle him and could not get away for a while.

Not only Gong Xianyuan, but also the other two spiritual world Tianzuns were restrained.

Originally, the number of Tianzu cultivators in the Southern Expedition East Route Army was more than that of the South Vietnam Army, but Xiao Mian seduced the Gong brothers away.

Now the four Tianzuns of Wan Zongsheng besieged the three spiritual world Tianzuns. Although they could not take down the three at once, the three wanted to leave unless they paid some price.

This price was likely to be quite heavy.

Gong Xianyuan, however, knew that his two brothers had been defeated. He knew that something unexpected had happened, so he gritted his teeth and jumped out of the battle group despite being hit by Wan Zongsheng with all his strength.

The remaining two spiritual world celestial masters were not so foresighted...

After Gong Xianyuan left, Wan Zongsheng did not chase him and tightened his offensive.

It would be even more difficult for the two spiritual world celestial masters to escape.

At this moment, Xiao Mian led Fu Qingqiong and Xia Jiuyou and broke through the air.

The two sides had already reached a consensus, and therefore, Xia Jiuyou rushed towards the two unlucky spiritual world celestial masters as soon as he appeared.

With five against two, the two spiritual world celestial masters soon couldn't hold on...

Almost one after the other, two spiritual lights returned to the spiritual world.

Gong Xianyuan, who had fled back to the Lingchen, saw this scene and his face changed drastically.

"Retreat! Send a message to the Lingxi - ask for help!"

Gong Xianyuan made a prompt decision and led the Lingchen to flee.

At the same time, the Lingxi had just broken through the illusion, but was destroyed by the light energy cannon.

Xiao Mian, who received the news, ordered the Huofu and Bingfu to pursue with all his strength.

In just a moment, only Fu Qingqiong and Xia Jiuyou were left on the huge Death Sandbar - of course, there were also some corpses left by the battle between the two sides.

Let's say the Lingchen was in front, and the Huofu and Bingfu were behind, heading north at a high speed.

On the Lingchen, Gong Xianyuan was uneasy.

"Haven't you contacted the Lingxi yet?"

"Old Senior Gong! The Lingxi is always silent, I'm afraid..." Swallowing his saliva, Wan Xingyun said: "I have contacted the seniors on the Lingxi, I think they will come to join us as soon as possible!"

"Join? Humph! If the Lingxi is completely destroyed, even if they escape, they will hope that my Lingchen will follow the footsteps of the Lingxi!"

"This... shouldn't be possible? Everyone is working for the Renhuang Palace..."

"What do you know? The twelve heavenly palaces in the spiritual world are like your nine holy places - the nine holy places that are high above, don't you have open and secret struggles?"

"..."

Gong Xianyuan's words made Wan Xingyun speechless.

Privately, Wan Xingyun was also puzzled - how could such a large southern expedition army be defeated?

"For now, fly all the way north and reach Tiandu!"

"This..., okay!"

After receiving Gong Xianyuan's order, Wan Xingyun did not dare to disobey.

What Wan Xingyun didn't expect was that the return journey to the north would be a long journey!

The Lingchen crossed the Endless Ocean and was about to enter the territory of Chu County. Suddenly, eight earth-level treasure ships appeared on the north bank of the Endless Ocean!

In addition to the Huofu and Bingfu, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce also had eight earth-level treasure ships - now, these eight earth-level treasure ships were lined up and blocked the north sky.

Before the Lingchen turned, the eight earth-level treasure ships fired psychic cannons at the same time.

The Endless Ocean was boiling in an instant.

The Lingchen endured more than ten psychic cannons, and finally stopped the ship, and quickly took off, while retreating, trying to escape the attack range of the psychic cannon.

Fortunately, the eight earth-level treasure ships only guarded the territory of Chu County.

At the same time, the Huofu and Bingfu quietly chased up.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Gong Xianyuan hurriedly ordered Wan Xingyun to make a decision.

There were only two roads in front of Lingchen: east or west!

The silence of Lingxi made Wan Xingyun dare not return the same way.

Finally, Lingchen turned east and tried to enter the East China Sea.

Huofu and Bingfu followed closely.

The eight earth-level treasure ships of Chu County also started at the same time and sailed eastward along the coastline, as if bidding farewell to Lingchen.

One day later, it was the same sea area again, with three escape lights from west to east.

These three people were the three spiritual world celestial masters who escaped from Lingxi. There was one more person, but he was driven away by the ghost saint in the previous pursuit.

After this incident, the three dared not be distracted anymore and just ran wildly.

During this period, the three also wanted to go north to enter Chu County.

Unexpectedly, there were suddenly several more celestial masters guarding Chu County.

In Nanyuezhou, from the Death Sandbar, a few beams of light energy would be fired from time to time, scaring the three spiritual world celestial masters to death.

At this moment, the three people only wanted to reunite with Lingchen as soon as possible.

Lingchen, after all, is a place to stay!

Through the contact with Lingchen, the three people also knew that Lingchen itself could not be saved.

For now, the only way to survive is to escape into the vast East China Sea as soon as possible.

In this way, Lingchen was in full swing in front, and the three spiritual cultivators were flying at high speed behind, and the previously powerful southern expeditionary army was thrown away.

After chasing for a day and a night, the three spiritual cultivators finally caught up with Lingchen with the speed of their own escape methods.

Without caring about fighting with Huofu and Bingfu, the three spiritual cultivators fled directly back to Lingchen, in exchange for a chance to breathe.

In this way, Lingchen once again had four powerful celestial masters.

However, at this time, everyone on the Lingchen, from Gong Xianyuan to Wan Xingyun, no longer had a single bit of fighting spirit - they just wanted to escape from Nanyue as soon as possible!

As they watched, the Endless Ocean was about to be crossed.

As they watched, the vast East China Sea was right in front of them.

Everyone on the Lingchen was immersed in the joy of escaping death.

Xiao Mian on the Huofu, however, snorted coldly.

Humph!

You come as you please, and leave as you please. What do you think my Nanyue State is?

It's not difficult to come to Nanyue State!

It's not so easy to leave Nanyue State!

If I don't leave something behind, I'm afraid you won't remember it!
