Chapter 1622 Strategy for Southern Xinjiang
Xiao Mian got the idea of building a shelter from the Five Elements Sect senior who wielded the Shanrou Sword.
But that senior was only able to do it on his own.
This time, Xiao Mian used the strength of the entire Nanyue State!
The three shelters can accommodate a total of 300,000 low-level cultivators from Nanyue.
Not to mention the huge cost of building these three shelters, the daily consumption of materials by these 300,000 cultivators is also huge.
Although cultivators no longer have appetite after successfully building their foundation, they still have basic physiological needs.
Even if the needs of each low-level cultivator are small, they cannot withstand the large number of people!
Relying on Xiao Mian alone, or even the Nanyue State, is simply a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, Xiao Mian still has the backing of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!
It was with the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce that Xiao Mian dared to mobilize his troops.
Now it seems that at a critical moment, spirit stones can really buy lives!
However, although Xiao Mian had the strategy of hiding his burrows, Lingzhuzi was not completely unprepared either. He was actually building a plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret!
Just as the Shenguang was heading south from Tiandu City and rushing towards the Endless Ocean with great fanfare, another earth-level treasure ship, Lingque, left Tiandu City.
The hundreds of Taoist Tianzun on the Shenguang were all directly under the Renhuang Palace in the Spirit Realm.
The many Yuanying ancestors and Tianzun strongmen on the Lingque were composed of the twelve palace monks under the Renhuang Palace in the Spirit Realm.
The leader was Gong Xianyuan, the only survivor of the first southern expedition!
When the Shenguang was blocked in the Endless Ocean and Lingzhuzi did not hesitate to use tens of thousands of combat puppets to wreak havoc in Nanyue Province, the Lingque set out from Tiandu City, went north to Yan County, then went west to Shu, went straight into the West Sea, and went south along the West Sea to the South China Sea!
The purpose is self-evident - Nanyan Demon Realm!
Lingzhuzi actually planned to attack the Nanyan Demon Realm first!
Of course, this was also because Xiao Mian and Nanyuezhou's defenses were beyond Lingzhuzi's imagination, otherwise, why would there be so much trouble when the Shenguang passed by?
Lingque was just an ambush by Lingzhuzi.
Now it seems that Gong Xianyuan, the defeated general, is not completely useless!
Once the Nanyan Demon Realm is successfully conquered by Lingque, Nanyuezhou will not only lose the barrier it can rely on, but will also fall into the dilemma of being attacked from all sides.
Moreover, Lingzhuzi has doubts: I am afraid that a large part of the low-level cultivators who disappeared from Nanyuezhou fled into the Ten Thousand Mountains!
Once the Nanyan Demon Realm falls, can Xiao Mian of Nanyue still be as stable as Mount Tai?
Therefore, Lingzhuzi, who is in charge of the Shenguang, is not in a hurry.
In this way, the second southern expedition fell into a stalemate...
On the Endless Ocean, the Taoist spiritual practitioners used the Shen Guang as their base camp, neither charging nor retreating, just lying across the Endless Ocean, staring at it covetously.
The ghost spiritual practitioners and the demon lords of the spirit world were divided into camps and ready to fight.
On the land of Nanyue Province, nearly ten thousand combat puppets were rampaging.
Although there were a group of Yuanying ancestors from Nanyue Province attacking everywhere, facing thousands of combat puppets, Nanyue Province was stretched to the limit.
In Wanzong City, Xiao Mian was in charge.
The current situation was one of the outcomes that Xiao Mian and Jie Fengyan had repeatedly deduced.
It can even be said that this situation is the best result...
After all, facing the second southern expedition, Nanyue Province can no longer move freely and kill people like the first southern expedition.
It is fortunate that the Shen Guang did not invade the hinterland of Nanyue in one fell swoop.
As long as it can hold on, there is still hope for Nanyue Province.
Now, the situation in Nanyue Province, the first battlefield, is chaotic and complicated. Next, it depends on who can make the first move in the second battlefield.
Let's leave Xiao Mian and Lingzhuzi aside and talk about Gong Xianyuan!
As the commander-in-chief of the first southern expedition and the only survivor of the first southern expedition, Gong Xianyuan's situation can be imagined.
On weekdays, the eldest brother of the Gong family has been looked down upon.
Therefore, before the second southern expedition, Gong Xianyuan tried his best to seize the command of Lingque from Lingzhuzi.
The purpose is to - avenge the previous shame!
He wants to let the spiritual practitioners who participated in the forbidden training know: He, Gong Xianyuan, is not useless!
He wants to let those barbarians in Nanyue Province in the lower world know: He, Gong Xianyuan, is not soft-hearted!
Driving the Lingque, Gong Xianyuan had a smooth journey and rushed to the South China Sea.
Seeing that the Southern Frontier Continent was in sight.
In his mind, Gong Xianyuan went over the information about the Nanyan Demon Realm again.
Just like Nanyuezhou is at the bottom of the Five States cultivation world, Nanyan Demon Realm is also one of the Four Seas Demon Alliance, but its overall strength is the worst.
Throughout the entire Nanyan Demon Realm, only the Ten Thousand Demon King is in the realm of Demon Venerable.
Under the Ten Thousand Demon King, although there are also ten demon kings, they are not to be feared.
As for those demon tribe armies that claim to have millions of soldiers, they are just a group of uncivilized beasts in front of Gong Xianyuan, who has already achieved the status of Heavenly Venerable!
Moreover, Gong Xianyuan is not the only Heavenly Venerable on the Lingque this time.
To be on the safe side, although the Lingque is an ambush, it is also powerful - in addition to Gong Xianyuan, there are eleven Heavenly Venerable spiritual practitioners sitting in the Lingque!
There are twelve palaces under the Renhuang Palace of the Spirit Realm, and each has one person participating in the expedition.
What's more, under the twelve Heavenly Venerables, there are dozens of Yuanying ancestors accompanying them.
With this lineup of almost ten to one, Gong Xianyuan really couldn't think of any variables, but vaguely, Gong Xianyuan always felt uneasy.
Before the first southern expedition, Gong Xianyuan was confident.
Unexpectedly, the expedition failed and the whole army was annihilated...
"Boss Gong! Southern Xinjiang is right in front of us, why are you standing still?" However, someone asked Gong Xianyuan, who was standing on the bow of Lingque with a frown, calmly: "Could it be that Boss Gong is still afraid that he can't take down the Southern Flame Demon Realm with this Lingque?"
"Mr. Shaohua! Don't ask questions in front of our Boss Gong! Last time, the three heroes of the Gong family went to the battlefield together, and only Boss Gong returned. How tragic was the battle? Now Boss Gong is thinking carefully, and he is also thinking about us..."
"Brother Qiao Huai, what you said makes sense! It's Zhang who misunderstood Boss Gong?"
"Hahaha!"
For a moment, Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai smiled at each other.
Boss Gong turned around, his expression uncertain.
Let's talk about this Shaohua Master Zhang Shaohua, who was born in Tianshi Palace, and the weird Qiao Huai, who was born in Wanshou Palace. In the spirit world, the sects they belonged to had many grievances with the Chongyang Palace to which Gong Xianyuan belonged. Now they took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
According to Gong Xianyuan's previous character, facing the sarcasm of Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai, he would have been furious.
However, after the failure of the previous southern expedition, Gong Xianyuan restrained himself a lot.
Humph!
You brat!
After all, I am the commander in this attack on Southern Xinjiang.
If everything goes smoothly, I won't bother with you.
If there are twists and turns, I will make you look good!
Gong Xianyuan's tolerance made Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai hesitate. Besides, Gong Xianyuan was the commander of Lingque after all, so they didn't dare to act too rashly.
But after this incident, the attack on Southern Xinjiang can no longer be delayed.
At that moment, he took a deep breath and waved his hand!
Suddenly, dozens of escape lights flew away from the Lingque. These escape lights were all in the Nascent Soul Realm, but none of them was a Tianzun.
But at this time, Gong Xianyuan spoke...
"Master Shaohua! Fellow Daoist Qiao Huai! Since the two of you are so concerned about the attack on the southern border, Gong will give you a credit, how about it?"
"Boss Gong! What do you think?"
"After all, there is a demon master in charge of the Nanyan Demon Realm. If it is just these ordinary Nascent Souls without condensed divine objects, I am afraid it will not be enough..."
"You want us to be the vanguard?"
"No! Gong is giving you a great credit!" Staring at Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai, Gong Xianyuan looked selfless: "What? Could it be that Master Shaohua and Ghost Tree Qiao Huai are working together, and they are still afraid of a tiger?"
Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai looked at each other and kept silent.
Seeing this, Gong Xianyuan did not urge them, but just looked at the two quietly.
But at this moment, a breeze swept across the Lingque.
As the breeze passed, a female cultivator appeared at the bow of the Lingque.
The female cultivator was wearing a wind-green Taoist robe, which was a bit loose, but it could not hide her gracefulness. She had a bun on her head and wore a lotus crown.
She was pure and extraordinary, just like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to the earth.
Even Gong Xianyuan nodded slightly when he saw this female cultivator.
Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai even turned sideways and saluted lightly.
This female cultivator was called Lu Zhang, known as Qingci Lu Zhang, and was the best in Bixia.
Bixia Palace was the only female cultivator sect among the twelve palaces under Renhuang Palace. Not only that, it was said that Bixia Palace was the sect left behind by Bixia Yuanjun in the fairy world!
When it came to Bixia Yuanjun, it was naturally better to believe it than not.
Besides, the Palace Master of Bixia Palace is also a Mahayana cultivator, so he should not be underestimated!
"Greetings, three Taoist brothers!" After a polite greeting, Lu Zhang said in a friendly voice: "Although there is only one demon king, Wan Yao Huang, in the Nanyan Demon Realm, there is no guarantee that there will be new breakthroughs among the ten demon kings under her. For Wan Qian, Lu Zhang is willing to contribute his efforts!"
"This..."
"Okay!"
While Gong Xianyuan was hesitating, Zhang Shaohua had already agreed, and even Qiao Huai nodded repeatedly.
The three great celestial masters went together, and the huge Nanyan Demon Realm was almost unbeatable!
In this way, under the watchful eyes of Gong Xianyuan, the three great celestial masters went together.
Let's not talk about Gong Xianyuan's worries, and the three great celestial masters went straight to the Wan Yao Palace!
The target of the three great celestial masters is naturally the Wan Yao Huang.
As long as the Wan Yao Huang is subdued or even killed, the rest of the things will naturally be done by those ordinary Yuanying, and they don't have to worry about the spiritual cultivation of the celestial masters.
However, whether it was Young Master Shaohua, Guishu Qiaohuai or Qingci Luzhang, they probably didn't expect that this trip to the Nanyan Demon Realm would be so dangerous!
The Three Heavenly Venerables attacked the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor would naturally not sit idly by.
Suddenly transformed into a monstrous white tiger, the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor took Zhang Shaohua and Qiaohuai into the battle group, but ignored the Bixia Palace Maid Xiu Luzhang.
With the ruthless style of the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor who was willing to fight to the death, he entangled Zhang Shaohua and Qiaohuai so that they could not get away - this actually went in their favor!
Before the trip, the three Heavenly Venerables had already made a decision.
It would be good to kill the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor quickly, but if the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor fought like a trapped beast, the three would not go head-to-head and provoke bad luck, but would pester him.
Just wait until the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor's spirit is exhausted, and then turn around to deal with the other party.
With Zhang Shaohua and Qiaohuai holding the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor, Luzhang will be invincible.
At that time, Lu Zhang would take action, kill a few demon kings, and take advantage of the situation to anger the Ten Thousand Demon King. Once the Ten Thousand Demon King took the risk, it would give the three great celestial masters an opportunity to take advantage of him.
The plan was carried out step by step, but it ended in failure...
Just when Lu Zhang wanted to do the thing of subduing demons and monsters, an arrow suddenly flew out from the empty Ten Thousand Demons Hall. The arrow was like a meteor, and its speed was extremely fast.
Lu Zhang frowned, and his heart skipped a beat.
This arrow is magical, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can fire.
Could it be...
Before Lu Zhang could think about it for a moment, the arrow light had already reached his body.
With a cold snort, Lu Zhangsu turned his hand, and a green light turned over, like a green leaf, but it also radiated bursts of red light.
The red light took the first step towards the arrow light. The arrow light paused, but it suddenly exerted force and shattered the green leaf in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, even though the green leaves were broken, the arrow light also dissipated invisible.
But before Lu Zhang could catch his breath, another bolt of arrow light struck.
With his eyes focused, Lu Zhang had to repeat his old trick and summon another green leaf.
Before the green leaf could break, another arrow shot out from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace...
This time, Lu Zhang's beautiful eyebrows frowned even more tightly!
It's just that now, Luzhang is a little slow to use other methods - the so-called wrong step, wrong step, nothing more than that!
He saw arrows flying out from the Ten Thousand Demons Hall continuously. In response, Luzhang had to call out green leaves to block the arrows.
If this is the case, nine times, the arrow will light up.
Before Lu Zhang could breathe a sigh of relief, a scream came from the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
Immediately afterwards, there was a golden light rising into the sky...
The golden light broke through the void and appeared directly in front of Lu Zhang.
Even the proud disciple of the Bixia Palace in the spiritual world, the female Taoist cultivator known as Qingci Luzhang, couldn't help but scream strangely when she saw this arrow.
Really, this arrow is difficult to catch and cannot be caught!
It seems that there is only one arrow light, but in fact, this arrow light absorbs all the spiritual energy of the previous nine arrows, and the ten arrows merge into one, which is by no means an easy matter.
If you give Green Chapter enough preparation time, you may be able to deal with it calmly.
However, Lu Zhang was careless after all...
The result of being careless is a disastrous failure!
Fortunately, Lu Zhang had some insight. Knowing that he couldn't take this dominating arrow, Lu Zhang suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart - go ahead!
The next moment, the lotus crown on Lu Zhang's head suddenly expanded.
A spiritual shield shaped like a lotus protected the green seal airtightly. The golden arrow hit the lotus shield, and the spiritual light exploded forward.
In a moment, the lotus shattered, and the arrow light shot through the sky...
With this buffer, Green Chapter first activated the protection mechanism of banning experience.
Taoist spiritual practice——Bixia Palace Qing Ci Green Chapter, fled away...
At the same time, a person appeared in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
I saw that man holding a magic bow and wearing a mask, looking arrogant.
The Queen Mother of the West was supposed to be the Lord of West Kunlun who guarded the Demon Realm of the West Wasteland!
With the power of Queen Mother of the West, it may not be enough to deal with the original Xuanwu, but it is more than enough to deal with a spiritual world god, let alone a sneak attack?
Although Lu Zhang was defeated in a confused way, he was not defeated unfairly!
It should be noted that the divine bow in the hands of Queen Mother Xi is a spiritual treasure divine bow that is superior to the three divine bows of Meteor, Sunset and Sheyue - Hunting Sky!
Even the sky dares to hunt, let alone a mere spiritual cultivator?
Of course, if Queen Mother Xi was not capable of such a sneak attack, although she could defeat Lu Zhang head-on, it would not be so easy.
What's more, today's spiritual practice to attack southern Xinjiang is child's play?
The Queen Mother of the West must do everything she can...
Therefore, after driving away the green seal with one arrow, the Queen Mother of the West bent her bow and arrow, and aimed at the new target - Young Master Zhang Shaohua!
Although Zhang Shaohua and Qiao Huai were working together to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, they were naturally aware of Lu Zhang's defeat. When he saw Queen Mother Xi aiming the arrow at him, Zhang Shaohua was shocked - this arrow could force Lu Zhang away. Zhang, he will definitely be able to force himself away!
Fortunately, I am not alone. If...
Just when Zhang Shaohua was thinking this, Qiao Huai, who was attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor with him, was suddenly knocked away by the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor's tiger tail for some reason.
I saw a black shadow flashing out, and the locust tree turned into a dead tree. It couldn't help but fly back. In mid-air, the dead tree was shrouded in black smoke, and the black air was billowing...
Obviously, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor's blow to the tiger's tail will definitely not be uncomfortable!
But at this time, Zhang Shaohua could no longer worry about Qiaohuai.
After taking away the locust tree, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor focused all his energy on Zhang Shaohua, chasing and beating him fiercely, leaving Zhang Shaohua exhausted and running for his life.
Zhang Shaohua, who had extravagant hope and Qiaohuai worked together, had already lost the opportunity.
He was stalked and beaten by the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, and he had no way of escaping.
There was no time to miss, and a bolt of arrow light came rushing towards me!
A moment ago, he and Qiao Huai were attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor together.
Don't you want to fall into the combined attack of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West in the next moment?
Things in this world are changing and the pace is too fast, right?
Young Master Shaohua, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor's offensive and the golden arrows made Young Master Shaohua laugh and cry.
That’s it! That’s it!
Since the disciples of her Bixia Palace can escape and the disciples of the Wanshou Palace can protect themselves wisely, wouldn’t it be a good idea for me, the disciples of the Tianshi Palace, to take the next step?
For now, let’s leave this mess to the Chongyang Palace!
Anyway, for Zhang Shaohua, this experience is just a formality.
Just like the well-kept treasure of the Immortal Mansion, even if it is found, what does it have to do with Zhang Shaohua? What does it have to do with his Tianshi Palace?
But this little life is Zhang Shaohua's own...
Thinking of this, Zhang Shaohua suddenly made a decision.
After grabbing two talismans, Zhang Shaohua felt a little distressed, but he still threw them out without hesitation, one towards the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor and the other fixed in front of him.
The golden light flashed and the talisman was activated.
The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, who was flying towards Zhang Shaohua at high speed, suddenly stopped. Even the flying wings seemed to be imprisoned and could no longer be flapped.
The majestic Lord of Southern Border, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, was actually immobilized by a talisman!
Just because this talisman is called - Wujian Talisman!
Wujian Talisman has an amazing effect, it can break time and set a time.
Moreover, for the sake of prudence, Zhang Shaohua took out not only one Wujian Talisman, but two, which fixed the Ten Thousand Demon King and the golden arrow at the same time.
Taking advantage of the temporary pause in the offensive, Zhang Shaohua turned into light and left...
At this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Zhang Shaohua was more courageous, there might be a chance to severely injure the Ten Thousand Demon King, but Zhang Shaohua was absent-minded.
First, Lu Zhang's retreat made Zhang Shaohua feel sad.
Second, Qiao Huai's withdrawal made Zhang Shaohua angry.
Of course, more importantly, the Queen Mother of the West has locked Zhang Shaohua. Once Zhang Shaohua delays a little to attack the Ten Thousand Demon King, he may not be able to leave even if he wants to.
Since he has already decided to retreat, why bother?
What does the life and death of the Ten Thousand Demon King have to do with Master Shaohua?
Besides, keeping the King of Monsters would allow her to play with Gong Xianyuan more...
No matter what Zhang Shaohua planned, after he and Lu Zhang were expelled back to the spirit world, only Qiao Huai was left among the three great gods who invaded the Hall of Monsters.
Qiao Huai took the opportunity to escape, but he was unsuccessful!
Because, in front of the Hall of Monsters, there were not only the King of Monsters and the Queen Mother of the West!
