There were still more than two hundred miles away from Shuangye City. Chu Jun finally stopped, turned around and said to Yang Yun and others: "Thank you for your hard work, you can stop and set up camp now."
At this time, the torrential rain was still falling, and it was probably late at night. The sky was heavy, and the vast and barren mountains were getting darker and darker. Coupled with the heavy rain, it was impossible to distinguish the east from the north from the north. If someone hadn't responded, , it is absolutely impossible to come here.
Yang Yun and his generals used their eyes to look down. It was raining heavily in the dark night, and the visibility was too low. They could vaguely see a quite open valley below, surrounded by tall and dense trees. However, this place was obviously far away from the city. Yecheng is not far away, because the spiritual energy in the air here is very thin, and there is even some lifeless smell, and the leaves of the trees are starting to turn yellow.
As we all know, wherever the ghost clan goes, they will first destroy the spiritual veins. In this way, the place will become a dead place. In places with poor spiritual energy, the combat effectiveness of immortal cultivators will be greatly weakened. This is also the battle between human beings and the ghost clan. One of the reasons why we lose more and win less.
"Lord King Chu, we are setting up camp here. Where are your people?" Jiang Bin asked curiously.
Chu Jun smiled and said: "You guys set up camp first, our people will arrive soon!"
The generals became even more suspicious. Yang Yun used his spiritual consciousness to scan the surrounding area for several miles, but he did not find any disciples of Hua Zong and Shu Zong ambushing around, nor did he know what kind of medicine Chu Jun was selling in his gourd.
Yang Yun looked at the terrain and finally chose to station the 20,000 Qinglong Army halfway up the peak behind the valley.
The Qinglong Army is indeed an elite force. It only took half an hour to set up camp and arrange various restraining and concealment arrays. The concealment array is an ordinary blinding array and a spiritual shielding array, which can prevent the divine consciousness from being swept out. Enemy experts from hundreds of miles away detected it. However, this kind of hastily arranged concealment circle is not very practical. Once the other party's scouts sneak into the vicinity, they can still easily detect it. But now with this overwhelming heavy rain, the ghost clan's scouts may have to hide behind their backs. Let's go to Yechengzhong.
The Qinglong Army had already set up camp, but the men and horses Chu Jun mentioned had not yet appeared. Lu Xun couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty King Chu, why haven't your men and horses shown up yet? Are you fooling us?"
Chu Jun chuckled and said: "It's almost time, wait a minute!"
…
In Futaba Castle.
The deputy commander of the ghost clan, Gui Dongya, was sitting on the main seat in the hall, and there were more than a dozen high-ranking generals of the ghost clan sitting in the hall according to their status.
The heavy rain pounded on the steps outside the hall, and there was a ghostly atmosphere inside the hall.
Gui Dongya looked at the equally gloomy sky outside with a gloomy expression. None of the high-ranking ghost clan members in the palace dared to speak. Last time they suffered a huge defeat in the Guizhen Mountains and lost nearly a centaur. Master Shuaizuo was in a bad mood, so everyone These days have not been easy. I have been scolded and scolded if I was not careful. But today I received news that the humans in the Beast Taming City actually drove tens of thousands of ferocious beasts to attack this place. No one dared to express their opinions rashly.
At this time, a cloud of ghost mist flew in from outside the palace and instantly transformed into an ugly ghost captain with long hair and red eyes. He was dripping wet and had obviously just come back from spying on information from outside.
"Reporting to Lord Commander, the man from the Beast Control Sect is driving fifty or sixty thousand spirit beasts towards here. They are already three hundred miles away!" the ghost captain said loudly.
Gui Dongya asked in a deep voice: "How many human cultivators are there in total? Is there a regular army?"
"They are all disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. There are only about 15,000 people. No regular army has been found!"
The ghosts in the palace couldn't help but uproar. They were so arrogant that they even braved the storm to attack Shuangye City. There were more than 10,000 mobs, plus tens of thousands of beasts, and they wanted to attack Shuangye City. They didn't let the big ghosts go. If it's in your eyes, you're simply looking for death.
"Commander, give me an army of 30,000, and I will ensure that these arrogant humans will be killed without any chance of return!"
"Commander, my army of 20,000 is enough. These damn human cultivators were so arrogant last time when they had a small victory due to their advantage. It's time to give them a blow on the head!"
All the ghost generals clamored to destroy the invading humans!
Gui Dongya, however, had a calm expression. Last time, the Guizhen Mountains made him realize that human cultivators were obviously not all idiots who would retreat at the first touch. That person made him lose nearly a centaur in a battle. This lesson was not a heavy one.
During this period, Gui Dongya worked hard to investigate, and finally found out that the man who defeated him was called Chu Jun. This man had a great reputation in the human world. He found out as soon as he checked that this guy was called Chu Killing Star and died in his hands. There are three continent masters in the Concentration Stage. No wonder they are so powerful. Each one of them can move freely among his army, making them unstoppable.
Gui Dongya also found out that Gui Wanglie, the son of the handsome Gui Wangji, almost died at the hands of Chu Shaxing. Later, it seemed that Gui Wanglie had helped a human woman who happened to be Chu Shaxing's woman, so he picked him up. After returning his life, Gui Dongya was afraid of such a person, which was why he never counterattacked the Beast Taming City. He didn't expect that Chu Shaxing would take the initiative to attack him.
Gui Dongya does not think that Chu Jun is a fool, otherwise he would not have lived until now and done so many great things, so the other party cannot be so stupid as to think that he can defeat his 60,000 or 70,000 elites with only tens of thousands of spiritual beasts. , the other party definitely has a back-up plan.
When all the ghosts saw Gui Dongya, he didn't say a word and just meditated. Then they gradually calmed down and all looked at him.
Gui Dongya just told the scout: "Continue the reconnaissance, send all our spies out, and find out the situation within the five hundred miles radius of Shuangye City. There must be no omissions!"
The ghost lieutenant detective sternly agreed to withdraw. Soon, thousands of ghost mist rushed out from Shuangye City, dispersed in all directions, and quickly disappeared in the torrential rain.
About half an hour later, spies from the ghost clan returned one after another, and news flew into the hall like flakes of snow.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we haven't found anything within a hundred miles to the east!"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we haven't found anything within a hundred miles to the south!"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we haven't found anything within two hundred miles to the south!"
“…”
Hundreds of scouts reported that they had not found anything, but Gui Dongya became more and more uneasy. The more he did not find anything, the deeper the opponent was hidden, and the more unclear the situation, the more dangerous it must be.
At this time, another scout flew in. Regardless of being wet, he gasped and said urgently: "Reporting to the commander, we have found hidden enemy troops two hundred miles northwest!"
The ghost generals in the hall were all shocked, but Gui Dongya breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he finally found them. He sat up straight and asked, "How many people are there?"
"The number of people is probably less than 30,000. The rain was too heavy and it was impossible to see the exact number of people. Moreover, the opponent had extremely powerful anti-scout hunters. My subordinates and several brothers were killed when they tried to get close. I managed to escape only after fighting to the death." Come back!" The ghost clan spy shouted: "It's definitely the Qinglong Army!"
A senior ghost general's face darkened, and he shouted sternly: "Fart, let's investigate again, we must find out the specific number of people!"
The ghost spy was immediately frightened and trembled, and he quickly agreed and retreated.
"Cunning humans really want to take advantage of the heavy rain to launch a sneak attack. The army of spirit beasts from the Beast Control Sect are just their pawns to seduce us. The real killers are probably those Azure Dragon Army, grandma's, sneaking in without making a sound. It's two hundred miles away!" the senior ghost general said loudly.
The other ghost generals also nodded with lingering fear. Tens of thousands of Azure Dragon Army actually sneaked into Futaba City two hundred miles away. Once everyone leaves the city to deal with those spirit beasts with all their strength, and this elite Azure Dragon Army suddenly attacks from the side, they are guaranteed to be defeated. Everyone was caught off guard. Human beings are indeed cunning. Fortunately, Mr. Shuaizao was wise and sent out all the scouts, and finally discovered the enemy's conspiracy.
"Master Handsome, what should we do now? The opponent will attack here soon!" asked a ghost woman with a hot figure and half-exposed spherical breasts.
This woman from the ghost tribe turned out to be a senior ghost governor, which is equivalent to the cultivation level of the late god refining. No wonder she is qualified to sit in the front.
Gui Dongya was extremely calm at this time. What he was most afraid of was that the enemy's situation was unclear. Now that the enemy's situation was clear, he no longer worried at all. He calmly said: "Chu Jun wants to surprise us, but now that we have seen through it, they won't know how to do it." There is an opportunity to take advantage of. According to my expectation, the Qinglong Army lurking two hundred miles away is Yang Yun's remnants. Their number does not exceed 30,000. With the strength of our troops in the city, there is no need to be afraid, not to mention our reinforcements. Coming soon!”
The ghost woman said happily: "Commander, have reinforcements from Ghost King Lie arrived?"
"It should be arriving soon. Even if the heavy rain slows down the journey, we can arrive in two hours!" Gui Dongya said calmly.
"Haha, these hateful humans, let them never come back this time!" A ghost general said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, we will stay in the city, and when the young marshal's army arrives, we will work together to destroy them all!" Another ghost general also shouted excitedly.
Gui Dongya said calmly: "No, the opponent's Mingchu troops will attack soon, and I decided to take the initiative!"
The ghost generals couldn't help but be puzzled. The senior ghost general asked: "Commander, since the other party is preparing a sneak attack openly and secretly, why should we still be fooled?"
The ghost woman turned her eyes and said: "Gui Wuhei, handsome master, this is called using the enemy's plan!"
Gui Dongya glanced at her approvingly, nodded and said: "Gui Chunniang is right, I just want to use the trick. Gui Wuhei, you lead an army of 30,000 to fight against the rabble of the Beast Control Sect, I will personally lead the three Ten thousand troops attacked their ambush!"
All the ghost generals' eyes suddenly lit up. This plan was very high. The Qinglong Army was lurking two hundred miles away and was preparing for a sneak attack. They certainly didn't expect a counter-sneak attack from their own side. Moreover, with the cover of the heavy rain, the Qinglong Army must have thought that they were not attacked. They found that by the time they reacted, the commander's army was already in front of them.
Gui Dongya stood up and said to the ghost woman: "Gui Chunniang, sit in the city and wait for the arrival of Marshal Ghost King Lie. If the situation goes wrong, ask him to send troops to support!"
Gui Chunniang stood up in a charming manner, and said with a smile: "I wish the commander a great victory, and Shuangye City will be handed over to my subordinates!"
The 60,000 ghost army in the city came out in full force. The senior ghost general Gui Wuhei led the 30,000 ghost army outside the city to prepare to challenge the beast army of the Five Jue Sect. The deputy commander Gui Dongya personally led another 30,000 people in the direction of the Blue Dragon Army. He drove past quietly.
But... the moment the ghost army quietly left the city, a ghost bird standing on a withered yellow branch outside the city quickly disappeared into the rain. No one noticed this inconspicuous bird.
