#561 - The city fell and the war was urgent
Luoyu Xianmen, the hub city of the south.
The urgent sound of war drums demonstrated that Duen, who had just established his authority and won the hearts of the people, had a large city fall under his command on his first day in office.
This is obviously not a good thing, in every way.
"Can you bear it?"
Meng Changqing, who was active in the starry sky, sent an urgent call as soon as possible.
Of course, he also learned about the outbreak of the war, not only because the alarm had been passed on to him, but also because various invasions by hostile sects occurred simultaneously in the southern universe of Luoyu Sect.
The battle for supremacy among the immortal sects affects all living things, involves the universe, and the entire human world cannot escape from it!
"Yeah, that should work."
Dunn responded calmly, without any self-righteousness, only rational judgment.
"Then I'll leave the Southland to you first. If you can't handle it, just retreat. I don't believe that the other guys will just sit there and do nothing!"
Apart from anything else, Master Zhuding, who is in charge of the West Land, is very close to this side and has enough spare capacity to come to our rescue. Of course, although Meng Changqing said this lightly, the consequence of doing so is that the matter of joint defense will be confirmed, and from now on there will be more than one master in the South Land!
However, when it comes to that critical moment, we can only discard the trivialities and keep the key core...
"Speaking of which, True Lord Juanzhi from Xiulin Immortal Sect has brought another message..."
"Ahem! Isn't it inappropriate to talk about this now?"
Although he said so, Meng Changqing had just heard it all.
He knew that he was trying to cover up his mistake, so he changed the subject decisively: "Although she is one of our kind, Xiulin Immortal Sect cannot be influenced by her. Therefore, you cannot believe any public actions or words from Xiulin!"
"I know."
Dunn just nodded slightly.
Meng Changqing didn't say much and quickly ended the emergency contact.
Then Duen stepped out and came to the outside of the hall.
Zhen Hong Zhenren, the Lord of Shuttle City, had already hurried back and was waiting outside, bringing with him the details he had learned.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Jiuping City, located in the north and serving as an important city connecting the South and Zhongdu, is the only large city in that direction. It was attacked by the enemy just now and was breached in a short time. Now the information exchange has been cut off. Even the feedback from our formation in that area has begun to show signs of agitation and is unable to be effectively controlled or interfered with. We can only temporarily block that area in advance!"
Those great monks were now performing their respective duties, calmly executing various war rules and regulations, causing the entire South to quickly turn into a war state.
Obviously, his previous actions were quite effective. These guys did not pretend to obey his orders and do bad things secretly. But correspondingly, if he cannot effectively and promptly stop the invasion of the Fudong enemy army, then these guys who have just surrendered will become disloyal in an instant!
In addition, the Fudong Immortal Sect is coming with great force, and it is obvious that this is not a small-scale infiltration like before. This time they must have all kinds of preparations and means, so they really cannot be underestimated, otherwise they may face a very dangerous situation!
Therefore, the current situation is as urgent as a raging fire!
Zhen Hong Zhenren also understood the urgency of the situation. The Fudong Immortal Sect took advantage of the situation when the people were not yet stable and their morale was in turmoil and took action, which was really a fatal blow.
"Master, the current situation is not optimistic. If Fu Dong makes a move, and is able to move, I am afraid that Xiulin Xianmen will also have strange ideas. Although I have talked to you before... what do you want me to do now?"
He only touched upon the matter briefly, pointing out the key points, and then he continued to be a good subordinate, not making any rash comments or offering any suggestions.
"For the time being, there will be no obvious changes in the Xiulin Forest. Unless I am unable to stop the situation in a short period of time, appearing to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and the Resolution Party is also unable to help, then they will think they can take advantage of the opportunity and start a frenzy of division."
After Du En finished his thoughts, he spoke calmly and told his plan: "I will go there myself, to the enemy-occupied area of Jiuping City, to fight against the main force of Fudong's invading army. You, Old Master, will lead the defense of various places."
"There are three points that need special attention. First, immediately divide and conceal the mundane territory, especially the area around Jiuping City and the territories adjacent to the border. Second, quickly count the existing inventory of fifth- and sixth-level materials and transport them to my side properly. Third, we need to organize various elite small forces and use our large formation to put out fires everywhere, and eliminate the small forces that may have dispersed or lurked in advance."
"I understand, and I will do my best!"
Zhen Hong Zhen did not feel strange about the first point. After all, this was the routine operation of Du En's sect. He felt a little strange about the second point, but he thought about it. As for the third point, it was a very routine thing. He had actually arranged people to prepare on the way here.
The reason why Duen has to make it clear now is just to ensure that the order is implemented. If there is any mistake in this regard later, he can be held accountable!
The old Taoist didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, he had only surrendered for less than half a day.
"Don't we need to do special work to prepare for the defense of Xiulin Xianmen?"
"No need. Just concentrate your resources on other things. Moreover, when the time comes, you can ask Xiu Lin for help. The condition is to give them the area from Nanmo to Lin'an."
"ah?"
Faced with such an operation of ceding land and asking for help due to a disagreement, Zhen Hong Zhenren could not help but show a look of astonishment, and for a moment he naturally did not dare to accept such a very dangerous order.
Losing teachers and territory is a great sin shared by all the major sects!
He couldn't bear such a responsibility, and neither could Duan...
"Don't worry, just do as you are told. The decision makers will understand and even approve of it. What's more, we dare to give it to you, but I don't know if Xiu Lin dares to accept it."
“This…I understand!”
Zhen Hong Zhen's eyes turned, and he immediately realized that this was just a delaying tactic. Although it was still very risky, after all, Xiu Lin Xianmen was fully capable of taking advantage of the opportunity.
However, he didn't know that the land of Nanmo involved the layout of Supreme Luoyu, and the concessions and gives here were actually not counted. Although Xiu Lin Xianmen wanted to occupy it, they really needed to be extra cautious and even hesitant at the moment when the Supremes still had a tacit understanding.
It is indeed a delaying tactic, but there is an error in the mechanism of action.
In short, after arranging the general matters, Du En quickly left the southern hub city and headed for the northern city of Jiuping.
at the same time.
In Jiuping City.
This place is located in the hinterland of the hinterland, close to the central area of Luoyu Xianmen, and serves as a logistics city that serves as a transit point between Zhongdu. At this moment, it no longer has the peace and prosperity of the past.
The city walls collapsed, blood was flowing, and the scene was in ruins everywhere. Corpses were everywhere, being chewed by various monsters and beasts, making all kinds of crunching and popping noises, which made people shudder and tremble with fear.
It is a elegy for death and a feast for gluttony.
And when they arrived at the inner city, on top of all this, there were even more screams of pain. The Jindan stage cultivators' Jindan were dissected and eaten alive, leaving only their energy to struggle and wailing. The Yuanying stage cultivators were even more miserable. They could not escape, and after being caught, they were either skewered and roasted, thrown into a frying pan, or eaten alive and regurgitated, endlessly.
The one in the Spirit Transformation Stage who was in charge of this big city was actually better off. He died in battle on the spot, and his soul exploded. Now just his tattered corpse was being eaten.
"Damn you Luoyu bastard! How dare you self-destruct your own soul! Damn it! That should have been the best offering. After refining it, I can use it to fill my Wanbao Pregnancy Pool!"
The Divine Silkworm Master, who had already reunited with his fellow disciples, looked grumpy and cursing at the moment, and was extremely angry, but he still had a half-smile on his face, which seemed particularly wrong, so that no one nearby dared to approach him, and no one dared to torture anyone for fun, for fear of disturbing him.
All the fellow monks avoided it, only two people stayed close.
Naturally, they were the two real men who commanded the Fudong army this time.
There was a man and a woman. The man's Taoist name was Jiao, an ancient monkey. However, he was tall and mighty, with a straight back and sharp eyes. He felt disgust and fear towards the True Man of Divine Silkworm. He snorted coldly when he heard the voice and did not respond.
"Brother Shencan, don't be angry. The quality of the cultivation animals in this city is quite good. Let them have fun and eat their fill. Then refine and squeeze the juice. Wouldn't that fill up your pregnancy pool?"
The other woman responded in a harmonious voice, her voice was clear and majestic, but the content was frightening. In the distance, there was a woman who was wandering around in a daze. Because she had a pair of ears that could hear, she was suddenly shocked after hearing it, and was terrified. She subconsciously chose to flee.
"Alas, why do you need ears? Why can't you just die? Isn't it your duty to contribute to Brother Shencan?"
A sigh of pity was revealed on the beautiful face of the woman, and she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed in the air, which turned into green sharp claws like flowing wind. She grabbed her soul directly before the subordinate, who was quickly fleeing outside the inner city, showed joy on his face.
"Junior Sister Qingluan, you passed!"
At this moment, Master Qia could not help but speak. Although he did not move, he had the power to directly break Liu Feng's green claws.
He seemed to be a fair person. The goddess who had survived the catastrophe could not help but show tears of gratitude in her eyes. However, as soon as her soul returned to her physical body, she heard those somewhat dull words.
"You must be punished by death if you desert the battlefield!"
There was still some fear in his eyes and his expression of joy had just solidified when an invisible force descended upon him and smashed him into a pile of minced meat.
"Alas! Junior Brother Qia, Junior Sister Qingluan, why do you always shout and kill your own people, and each of you is so cruel? You should consider the future of the immortal sect and the overall situation of the war!"
"Come on! A failure like that that will run away will only ruin the overall situation if we keep it!"
Master Qia spoke with disdain.
Looking at the turmoil just now, there were hardly any people in the inner city whose eyes showed any ripples. They ate when they were supposed to eat and tortured when they were supposed to be tortured. They were like puppets frozen in time by their animal nature. They could only move like wild beasts and would not think about anything else.
This is the Fudong Immortal Gate!
Except for some people who are worthy of training or have other uses, the rest are just covered with fur and horns, with their hearts transformed, and are treated like beasts and slaves by the middle and upper classes!
In other words, people who act independently here are often regarded as failures and will be disposed of arbitrarily and ruthlessly!
In fact, among the five major immortal sects, there are not many real great cultivators, or those who are regarded as great cultivators. This is the reason why many people in the God Transformation Stage are just big cannon fodder that have been fertilized, and this situation is particularly serious in the Fudong Immortal Sect.
"Hey, hey, brothers, stop arguing. We need to work in unison to deal with that what's his name, oh, Du En, a first-level junior master."
"Humph! He is only in the early stage of Void Refinement. No matter how powerful he is, can he still be a match for the three of us who have reached the Perfection of Void Refinement? If he dares to come, we will make sure he has no chance of returning!"
“Junior Brother Yao, this is your laziness! He is no longer in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and he is very strong, a true genius. Although I have completely achieved the status of a weak genius, and you can barely be considered a weak genius, you still cannot be underestimated!”
"You... Humph! There's no need to boast about your prestige. Although the difference in realm cannot make up for the gap in talent, we came prepared. Apart from anything else, True Lord Qiongqi asked me to bring the corpse with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gnawing sounds beside him stopped, and a head was raised up stupidly, rolling its rotten tongue. The air was filled with a strong smell of death, which made people dare not underestimate it. The three real people immediately tensed their expressions slightly, looking a little nervous.
It looks like a tiger, forms like an ox, has wings, and is called Qiongqi!
This Qiongqi zombie did not move unusually. After finishing its meal, it squatted there stiffly, silently waiting for its next meal. Although its breathing had stopped, it seemed that it was breathing in some other way, swallowing in all the evil air that filled the city, making it become even more ferocious.
"Okay, two brothers, instead of arguing about this, why don't you come over and help? It takes a lot of effort to smash a corner of the Luoyu Xianmen's southern formation so that the power of the True Lord can penetrate directly and we are no longer restricted!"
True Man Qingluan's words stopped the verbal dispute between the two True Men from continuing. Although they nodded, they did not join in adding fuel to the fire.
The reason is actually very simple.
Because Duane is here.
