Having the surname Jiang is not a strange thing.
However, the new leader of the Tianshi Sect was also named Jiang.
more importantly.
The other party is a heavenly corpse.
As for the news that Yuan Zong had obtained the Heavenly Corpse, although it was circulated among the higher-ups of the sect, there was no airtight wall in the world. No matter how close the news was, it would still leak out.
Talking about news.
Players are the most informed.
There are offline forums, and as long as you are willing to spend a little money, messages can be connected almost seamlessly.
Not everyone knows the news though.
but-
With so many people in Yuan Zong, some people knew the news after all.
Hardly less than a day.
The news that a great demon from heaven sneaked into Beiyun Mansion, and then fought against the powerful Yuan Zong, but was finally repelled, was completely spread.
For a while.
There was a rumble of wind in Beiyun Mansion.
At this time, Beiyun Hou led his troops to serve the king, and Beiyun Mansion's strength could be said to be at its weakest.
If the demon clan takes this opportunity to make a surprise attack on Beiyun Mansion, they will be in big trouble.
One doesn't pay attention.
It might lead to death.
Especially since even the celestial beings and demons are dispatched, the problem is even more serious.
In such a large Beiyun Mansion, there are only two people with heavenly and human-level combat power. One is the Beiyun Marquis Mansion and the other is Yuan Zong.
Except.
There is no third force that can withstand attacks from the heavenly and human levels.
It's just a surprise attack by the great demon of heaven on Yuan Zong. Yuan Zong's power can still resist it, but if the opponent crosses Yuan Zong and goes directly deep into the hinterland of Beiyun Mansion, everyone who encounters it will die.
Even those big sects in the big regions felt a strong sense of crisis.
Even these sects that have existed for thousands of years.
There is no qualification to resist the gods.
So when the news spread, many sects were in crisis and set their sights on Yuan Zong.
As the only top sect in Beiyun Mansion.
To be honest.
Yuan Zong Yiran is the number one sect in the cultivation world of Beiyun Mansion.
It's just that some big domain sects feel resentful and unwilling to admit the fact that the Yuan Sect has completely surpassed their thousands of years of accumulation just a few years after its establishment.
But now.
Faced with the invisible threat of the demon clan, some sects immediately took aim at Yuan Zong.
"Great Elder, the elder of the Wuhen Sect wants to see you!"
A deacon stood on one side and reported.
Zheng Fang paused slightly in his movements, and then said: "Invite him to come over!"
"yes!"
Wait until the deacon leaves.
There was a little doubt in his eyes.
The Wuhen Sect is the major domain sect of Beiyun Mansion. Even now, the strength of this sect is one of the few in Beiyun Mansion.
However, Yuan Zong and Wuhen Zong have never had any intersection.
At this time, an elder from the Wuhen Sect came over, and Zheng Fang did not think of his purpose for a moment.
A few minutes.
An old man in gray clothes and a crane came forward. When he saw Zheng Fang for the first time, he cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Su Yuan of the Wuhen Sect, I have met Elder Zheng!"
"It turns out that Elder Su is here, please take a seat!"
"Thank you!"
Su Yuan thanked him and then sat down opposite Zheng Fang.
Able to become an elder of the Wuhen Sect.
He is also a great monk who has reached the realm of divine martial arts.
But even so.
Su Yuan did not dare to have the slightest contempt for Zheng Fang, a monk in the Sky Control Realm.
"Why did Elder Su come here this time?"
Looking at Su Yuan in front of him, Zheng Fang asked calmly.
When Su Yuan heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn and he said: "Su came here this time for the sake of the demon clan. I heard before that there was a celestial demon attacking your sect. I don't know whether this news is true or false."
"Um."
Zheng Fang gave a light hum, which was regarded as acquiescence.
But now he also understands what the purpose of Su Yuan's arrival is.
Monster clan!
Judging from the fact that Wuhen Sect and Yuan Sect have no intersection, it is impossible for the other party to simply come to greet and care. The real reason is probably related to their own interests.
"Nowadays, the civil war on the imperial court is ongoing, and it is difficult for our sects in the cultivation world to be alone. Beiyun Mansion is located close to the Endless Mountains, and the demon clan within it is also eyeing it."
After receiving Zheng Fang's recognition, Su Yuan took a breath and said seriously.
"Elder Zheng should also know how strong the demon clan is. Our Beiyun Mansion cultivation world is weak. If the demon clan attacks in a large scale, it will be difficult to compete with them.
So Su hopes that our Wuhen Sect can join forces with your Guizong to fight against the demon clan! "
He didn't mean to beat around the bush either.
The current situation does not allow the Wuhen Sect to do this.
otherwise.
If Yuan Zong is displeased, no one can benefit from it.
As for Zheng Fang, he did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment.
alliance!
He had thought about this, but he didn't do it.
Because of the alliance, whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.
With Yuan Zong's strength, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for other sects to take the bait on their own.
Now Su Yuan's arrival proves that other sects can no longer withstand the pressure in front of the demon clan.
otherwise.
The Wuhen Sect will never send anyone here.
Thoughts swirled in my mind.
Zheng Fang did not respond directly, but chuckled and said: "Is it just your sect's intention to join forces, or do other sects also have this intention?"
"This is what our Wuhen Sect means, but Su expects other sects to have this idea as well."
"Um."
Zheng Fang nodded, but there was nothing more to say.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
After a while.
Su Yuan had no choice but to ask: "I wonder what your noble opinion is on this matter?"
"It doesn't matter what you think. Humans and I are in the same spirit, so it's natural for us to fight against the monsters together." Zheng Fang smiled slightly, and then said: "It's just about who should lead this alliance."
"Yuanzong is the top sect of Beiyun Mansion, so it should be led by Yuanzong."
Su Yuan replied without thinking.
"If that's the case, then forgive me for not being able to agree."
"What good!?"
Su Yuan wanted to nod and say yes, but quickly reacted and looked at Zheng Fang with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand why the other party refused.
The entire Beiyun Mansion cultivation world is dominated by Yuan Zong.
It can be regarded as a direct recognition of Yuan Zong's supreme status.
Thus.
Yuan Zong's reputation will definitely increase greatly.
In his opinion, Yuan Zong should not reject such a good thing.
Zheng Fang shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance. We should wait for the return of our sect master before discussing it. Elder Su has come a long way and must be tired. He can go to Liangshan City to rest for one night before setting off to return to the Wuhen Sect tomorrow. It’s not too late.”
Having said this, he had directly issued an eviction order.
See this.
Su Yuan had no choice but to stand up and leave.
After Su Yuan left, Zheng Fang sneered, shook his head and said to himself: "With Yuan Zong as the leader, it's a good plan."
This matter seemed to be of great benefit to Yuan Zong.
In fact, if you think about it seriously, there is nothing practical at all.
As the only top sect in Beiyun Mansion, there are two heavenly and human warriors sitting in command.
Regardless of whether other sects admit it or not, it is impossible to shake Yuan Zong's supremacy.
this status.
Yuan Zong obtained it by relying on his own strength and did not need the support of others at all.
on the contrary.
If Yuan Zong agrees to the Wuhen Sect's alliance, then the entire Beiyun Mansion cultivation world will come to them as soon as possible if something goes wrong, and Yuan Zong will be in constant trouble.
The original top sect has directly become the thug of Beiyun Mansion.
certainly.
If other sects achieved this status, they would be happy even to be a thug.
But for Yuan Zong, this is not necessary at all.
Su Yuan wanted to be a white wolf with nothing, so how could Zheng Fang be fooled.
With Yuan Zong's current power, there is no need for those illusory things.
Either these sects can provide practical benefits.
Otherwise, Yuan Zong would not play with them.
certainly.
Although Zheng Fang is the great elder, he cannot really make the final decision on these matters. He still needs to wait until Qin Shujian returns before he can make a decision.
and-
At present, other sects in Beiyun Mansion's cultivation world have not felt too much pressure, and they have not reached a desperate situation.
after all.
Although the demon clan had some great demons setting foot in Beiyun Mansion, they did not cause any harm to them. They were repelled by Yuan Zong just after they came out.
The reason why Su Yuan came.
It was also because he was worried about the intimidation of the gods and monsters.
But it is not an easy task to make these sects willing to pay the price for a deterrent.
unless.
Only when these sects really feel the pain will they be able to surrender.
"It's a good idea to be a white wolf with empty gloves, but it's a pity that you found the wrong person!"
Zheng Fang laughed and looked down upon Su Yuan.
the other side.
After Su Yuan left, his face didn't look good either.
Yuan Zong's direct refusal made all the Wuhen Sect's original plans come to nothing.
As for the decision to wait until the sect leader returns, it is completely perfunctory and has no credibility at all.
To this.
Su Yuan couldn't force anything.
If Yuan Zong didn't agree, he could only find another way.
Just as Beiyun Mansion was making waves, the situation in Zhongzhou Mansion became even more tense.
Originally there were princes and diligent kings.
The situation in Zhongzhou Prefecture has been eased a lot.
However, with the outbreak of several successive wars, the imperial court was retreating steadily, losing a lot of masters and troops in a short period of time, resulting in all the advantages it had previously occupied.
kill!
The armies were constantly fighting.
The arrows exploded like feathers, bringing up a shower of blood.
The originally stable city defense formation was shaking violently at this moment, as if it would break at any time.
Although the bloodstains on the hard city wall have disappeared, those terrible attacks are still there, leaving indelible traces.
"Any enemy who sets foot on the city wall will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for each one they kill!"
Fang Jin blasted an enemy soldier with one palm, then looked around at the chaotic battle situation with scarlet eyes, and roared loudly.
Fight till now.
He had forgotten how long he lasted.
Maybe ten days, maybe more than a month.
The army's offensive never stopped for a moment. The defenders on the city wall changed again and again, with countless casualties, but they always resisted the enemy's advance.
Arrive now.
Many enemy troops have already climbed up one after another.
But the city wall was still under the control of the imperial court.
"Kill!" Fang Jin casually picked up a broken sword, and then threw it forward. The terrifying power exploded in the air, directly shooting dozens of enemy soldiers.
Subsequently.
He took another step forward, his body rose into the air, and when the sword fell, he cut two great cultivators of the Divine Martial Realm who were bombarding the city defense formation into two pieces in the air.
After doing all this.
Fang Jin's chest also rose and fell violently.
Even after breaking through to heaven and earth, there is still a limit to the vastness of true energy.
He has been fighting for so long, and he has basically never stopped. Even the vast amount of true energy cannot withstand it.
Fang Jin didn't expect it either.
The anti-thief's offensive will be so crazy that it won't stop at all, and they don't care about the casualties of the soldiers.
Until now.
The soldiers who originally defended the city were almost all dead and wounded, and those who were still defending the city were almost all people who had been continuously sent over by the imperial court.
at this time.
In the void.
There are also powerful people from heaven and humans fighting each other.
With the intervention of the sect and other princes, more and more Tianren Daxiu were fighting against each other.
Led by Shan Hao.
There are seven heavenly beings on the court side, and if you look at the rebel side, the number of heavenly beings is also quite small.
Zhang Yi was seen holding a mountain-burning flame flag, a hundred-foot-long flaming golden crow burning mountains and boiling the sea, and rushed towards Shan Hao and others.
the other side.
Du Chengwu's boxing power is also shocking, and he has the tendency to destroy everything.
Rumble—
The void trembled, and the sun and moon lacked light.
Fang Jin was also always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation in the void.
It's not that he doesn't want to take action, it's that he has no chance to take action.
The anti-thief offensive is fierce at the moment. Without him as a heavenly being to guard the city, the city may be breached in any minute.
so.
He can only guard here and stabilize the situation.
"Uncle Qin Yang, how dare you betray the imperial court!!"
Suddenly, Shan Hao's angry voice spread throughout the world.
Only one person who was originally fighting against the rebels suddenly turned around and took advantage of Shan Hao's unpreparedness to bombard him until he coughed up blood.
For a while.
The war situation has undergone tremendous changes.
"not good!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Jin was suddenly shocked.
Then he looked into the city and saw that Xichong Mansion's army was already killing its own soldiers, and the situation was in chaos for a while.
"Xichong Hou betrayed and killed all the troops affiliated with Xichong Mansion!"
Fang Jin would not completely trust these princes, so he had been prepared for it.
Subsequently.
He climbed up to the sky in one step and went to meet Shan Hao.
Originally, there was no difference between the two sides, but now the betrayal of Qin Yangbo, the Marquis of Western Chong, had severely damaged Shan Hao, causing the imperial court to suddenly fall into a disadvantage.
Among them, Shan Hao was even more in danger.
Fang Jin couldn't just sit back and watch Shan Hao's defeat, so it was natural for him to come to the rescue.
I saw him rising into the sky.
The war blade in his hand was slashed out, and Dao Gang struck directly at Uncle Qin Yang.
Uncle Qin Yang blasted out with a palm, and the palm of his hand immediately wiped out the sword.
Fang Jin stepped back and slashed out with his war blade, instantly neutralizing the opponent's attack.
Everything happens in an instant.
Shan Hao was originally caught off guard by Uncle Qin Yang, but after Fang Jin's intervention, he took the opportunity to adjust.
"Everyone, retreat to the city!"
Shan Hao covered his chest with one hand, looked at the battle situation in front of him, and made an immediate decision.
Hear the words.
Several other powerful celestial beings stopped entangled with Zhang Yi and others and fled directly towards the city.
The powerful celestial beings want it with all their heart.
It is very difficult to stop it.
Therefore, Zhang Yi and others also allowed these heavenly beings from the imperial court to retreat.
"Don't worry, Shan Hao has been severely damaged. Now that we have Xichonghou joining us, it will be easy to break the city. Letting them escape will only give them a little more time to survive." Zhang Yi looked like he had a chance to win.
Uncle Qin Yang, who was on the side, said at this time: "Our Xichong army has caused civil strife in the city. It is suitable to attack the city now. Otherwise, when they calm down, the difficulty of attacking the city will be greatly increased."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
If Xichongjun is allowed to fight alone inside, the longer it takes, the greater the losses will be.
Regarding Qin Yangbo’s thoughts.
Others also know it very well.
Subsequently.
When a few people returned to the Chinese army's camp, they immediately launched an army attack.
Suddenly.
The intensity of the siege became even more fierce.
the other side.
Shan Hao and others retreated into the city, and everyone's expressions were ugly and scary.
The thing I was most worried about happened.
Some of the other princes of King Qin also secretly formed alliances with the rebels.
Now that Uncle Qin Yang, the lord of Xichong, has rebelled, no one dares to guarantee whether other princes will be the next Uncle Qin Yang.
But before things happen.
The court could not take any measures.
otherwise.
Before the rebels could attack, I and others fell apart first.
Fang Jin looked heavy, looked at Shan Hao who looked a little pale, and asked, "How is General Shan's injury?"
"It's okay. If I hadn't been on guard against that old guy, I might have died in his hands."
Shan Hao took a few breaths, but his face looked better, and he gritted his teeth and said.
He never thought that Uncle Qin Yang would betray him.
It was just because of Luo Jing's incident that I was always vigilant just in case.
result.
Uncle Qin Yang is really a rebel.
To this.
Shan Hao was both angry and helpless.
Fang Jin said: "Now that Uncle Qin Yang has rebelled, the West Chong Army has started civil strife in the city. If what is expected is true, those rebels will definitely take this opportunity to break into the city."
To the end.
He also felt tired.
If there is no civil strife, the city can still be defended with the current strength.
However, with Xichong's army cooperating internally and externally, the city's defense forces were in disarray, and it was difficult to accomplish anything.
Hear the words.
The other people's expressions were not good-looking either.
"If something cannot be done, the priority should be to preserve strength." One of them suddenly said.
Shan Hao and Fang Jin immediately looked at each other, wondering what they were thinking.
It was no one else who spoke.
They are masters from Qintian Prison.
To some extent, Qin Tian Jian has represented the face of the royal family and has considerable power.
so.
Neither Shan Hao nor Fang Jin could ignore the other's words.
Fang Jin said: "If we retreat, I'm afraid your Majesty will be punished."
"This is not City Lord Fang's problem. There is nothing we can do if the city is destroyed. How could His Majesty, His Majesty, punish you? At worst, I will ask City Lord Fang for mercy when the time comes. I am sure His Majesty will not get angry easily."
Ji Yun smiled slightly, allaying Fang Jin's inner worries.
Hear this.
Fang Jin was also convinced.
As long as Qin Tian Jian is willing to come forward, then there won't be a big problem.
Shan Hao also nodded and said: "Now that the city is in chaos, it is impossible to defend the city. With the addition of Qin Yangbo, a powerful man who has reached the saint level, Zhang Yi and the others have greatly increased their strength.
At this moment, the only way to do this is to abandon the city and preserve our strength. "
"That's all it can do."
Fang Jin nodded.
He is not someone who just knows how to stick to it.
You can still clearly distinguish when you can do it and when you can't do it.
It didn't take long.
The teleportation door opened wide, and everyone retreated from here one after another.
The city that had held on for more than a month was finally destroyed.
The fighting here is fierce.
The battle on the other side was obviously much calmer.
Although there were large armies attacking the city, the siege was not as fierce as Zhang Yi and others. The battles between the two sides were back and forth, and no one had any advantage.
On the city wall.
Beiyun Hou stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the battle ahead with calm eyes.
And in the anti-thief camp.
Shen Hong stared at him coldly and shouted in a deep voice: "Marquis Beiyun, the Human Emperor is dead. With your majesty and power, why would you sacrifice your life for Xi Yang? Why don't you and I work together to destroy the imperial city? He Wouldn’t it be better to share the world with each other?”
"The Xiao family has finally returned to the imperial court. Although the Human Emperor is dead, the imperial court has never failed the Xiao family. How can I be such an unfaithful and unjust person?"
Beiyun Hou laughed, his voice full of heartiness.
"In my opinion, it is better for Marquis Wu An to retreat. As long as I am here, you will not be able to break this city!"
"Xiao Chengfeng, even if you can stop me, can you stop others? The fall of Zhao is inevitable. Even if you are a powerful person, you are not qualified to change your destiny!"
"I dare not say that I can change my fate against the will of heaven, but it is enough to deal with you."
"you-"
Shen Hong's chest rose and fell, obviously very angry with Marquis Beiyun.
If possible, he would like to destroy the city in front of him now and let the other party understand that powerful people cannot do whatever they want.
only-
Although Shen Hong was angry, he understood in his heart.
With his current strength, unless he unites with other princes, he may not be able to do anything to defeat the other princes.
The Mighty One.
To a certain extent, it has been possible to suppress one party.
What's more, the army brought by Beiyun Marquis this time are all the elites of Beiyun Prefecture, and their strength is not much weaker than that of Wu'an Prefecture.
From the beginning of the war to now.
It has been going on for several days, and there is still no progress in the siege.
It wasn't that Shen Hong refused to attack the city with all his strength, but that Beiyun Hou was stationed there, which made the city impregnable and difficult to break through, beyond anyone's imagination.
"Withdraw troops!"
After thinking for a long time, Shen Hong suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Only the army that originally attacked the city was seen, now like a tide, retreating quickly back.
On the city wall.
When Su Mingyang saw this scene, he couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, when Shen Hong retreats, should we take this opportunity to snipe him?"
"If he retreats, let him retreat. The city is enough."
Beiyun Hou was calm and did not care at all about Shen Hong's retreat.
His original promise to the court was to defend the city at his feet and prevent it from being breached by the rebels.
As for other things, it has nothing to do with his Beiyun Mansion.
Su Mingyang and others on the side also understood what Beiyun Hou meant, and there were smiles on their faces.
They were afraid that their prince would really swear allegiance to the court to the extent that he would not care about the lives of his brothers.
But now it seems.
Things aren't that bad yet.
