"I just asked Wu Lie to monitor the Yueying Temple area, and suddenly I saw this pillar of light." Shan Hui explained, "Is this Qixing causing trouble?"
"Being able to see a beam of light from such a distance is probably not an ordinary spell." Chi said in a solemn voice, "At least I haven't seen similar records in Penglai history books."
Indeed, Xia Fan was convinced that this pillar of light reached straight into the sky, and even the dark clouds above the sky were penetrated by it. The height of a few was several kilometers. The more and more abundant spell practice made him vaguely realize that the performance effect of alchemy is closely related to the breath. The more powerful the spell, the more breath is consumed. Although continuous practice can improve the effectiveness of the technique, it will not change its essence.
In other words, if you want to emit such a beam of light that penetrates the sky and the earth, even if it is just for lighting, the amount of energy consumed will be astronomical.
The only thing that can change the essence is the way of thinking.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid we have to advance our attack plan." Xia Fan suddenly said, "Ask Olina to prepare and send the alchemist troops up first. This team met at the top of the mountain in the south, and then sent a Dongfeng No. 2 Set it up.”
The current alchemist army in Jinxia City is mainly a magic weapon team composed mainly of elf spiritualists - this group of people can join the Jinxia Army after receiving the first and second popular courses and going to the Ministry of Industry for one month of further training. Their magical combat capabilities are not strong, but they can use new rail rifles and Dongfeng artillery. They are considered to be the formation with the strongest firepower projection capabilities in the army.
With Olina's loading capacity, it would take about three or four turns to send the artillery assembly and a dozen people to the top of the mountain.
"Eh... isn't this too hasty?" Ning Wanjun said slightly surprised. She knows Xia Fan's temperament and will always choose the safest strategy when fighting.
The initial battle plan was to place the main force at the front at the foot of the mountain, and then the artillery battalion would directly launch straddle fire at Yueying Temple from behind, using fierce firepower to destroy the Seven Star Army's fighting will. Wait until the enemy troops are defeated, and then high-level alchemists will follow and pursue them.
But it will take at least one day to reach the scheduled location and complete the pre-war arrangements.
"I don't know what that beam of light represents... but I have a bad feeling." Xia Fan said in a deep voice, "One day may be too late for us."
The way you think can change the nature of art.
It's like the evolution from lightning striking wood to copper wire pendant - using the former as a medicine guide, even if it uses up the energy of dozens of people, it will be difficult to generate a Nine Heavens Thunder. If magic is compared to a product, then the way of thinking determines the efficiency of manufacturing it.
However, the Nine Heavens Thunder that can trigger celestial phenomena can only last for a short time and cannot exist as stably as the light beam.
At least Xia Fan couldn't figure out how to use limited energy to trigger such an astonishing sky-high light.
In other words, this technique's way of thinking is more advanced than his.
Similar situations have occurred in the Dragon Climb Tower and Escape Tower.
He has become more and more certain that Yueying Temple, the destination of Qixing, is a large magic weapon similar to the Dragon Climbing Pagoda. Not only did the other party find it first, they even mastered how to activate it. The power of this magical weapon is difficult to fathom. No one can predict what will happen if we wait another day. If we stop Qixing now, we might still have some chance!
If anyone else makes a conclusion without any reliable clues and information, it will only arouse everyone's doubts, but Xia Fan is an exception. Even ordinary soldiers in the Jinxia Army know that although they are loyal to the princess, Master Xia is equally trustworthy.
Soon the new decision was re-planned and issued by the staff. The main force moved closer day and night, trying to shorten the encirclement time to tomorrow morning, while Xia Fan, Li, Chi and Yu Linglong and other fist forces first helped the alchemist troops capture the south. At the top of the mountain, we rushed to the temple area.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Fan spread his wings and took Li into the air first. Chi and Olina followed closely behind, using the cover of night to fly to the top of Rising Sun Mountain.
…
In Yueying Temple, Kaiyang Envoy finally heard the report he wanted to hear most.
"Sir, the qi filled in the immortal weapon has met the locking requirements. The locked location is Chen Bingtai, Yongding City, Xu State. Do you want to activate the Tianmen?"
In fact, this magical weapon can not only send people to where they want to go, but can also be used as an anchor to send people far away to the Rising Sun Peak. The only drawback is that it consumes more energy, almost as much as the previous one. Plant twice as much. Luo Yunzheng originally planned to go to the location of the Gate of Heaven predicted in the prophecy to point out the direction for the Seven Stars to fight for Heaven. However, when the trophies seized from Chishan City arrived at the temple, he found that the An family's "collection" was indeed quite rich, and even It greatly exceeded his expectations.
The An family has been operating on Yama Island for hundreds of years. Not only has it accumulated a large number of soul-gathering talismans, it has also raised a group of special slaves whose hearts and souls have been taken away - most of them are demons, and there are also a few local Qi-sensing people from Yama, who have lost their consciousness. Because of it, it looks like a doll at the mercy of others. Moreover, most of these slaves were women. Due to their sense of qi, their appearance and figure were quite outstanding. Luo Yunzheng could guess what the An family would use them for without even thinking.
Therefore, in his opinion, it was a kind of relief to use these people as medicine and sacrifice to the immortal weapon, and they had no scruples at all when consuming them. Relying on the Soul Gathering Talisman and these Qi-sensing Medicine Guides, the immortal weapon gained sufficient power, which also made it possible to open the gate from Xu State to Xuri Mountain.
Since there is no shortage of medicine, Qixing does not need to rush for a while, but will take time to figure it out.
What's more, the Kaiyang envoy also heard that the Jinxia Army has arrived at the outer edge of the mountainous area. Once Xu Guo's support arrives, wouldn't it be possible to completely annihilate this annoying army without any effort? They had suffered losses in Qi State, and now was a good time to settle old and new grudges.
"Open the Heavenly Gate." Kaiyang Envoy raised the corner of his mouth.
He was originally worried that the dark clouds above his head would turn into a wild night, but after a day and night, the dark clouds remained unchanged, and the aura flowing among the mountains was also very normal, which made him let go of the last stone in his heart.
It seems that luck is indeed on Qixing's side.
"Yes!" The alchemists responsible for controlling the immortal weapons responded in unison.
The scene in the void space began to change. It seemed to fold the world into two parts. One half was still nothingness, and the other half was the familiar square of the royal capital.
"Sir, there is a battle on the southern hilltop, and our army was attacked!" Suddenly, a general in armor walked into the temple and reported to Kaiyang Envoy.
"Oh? Who is the attacker?" Kaiyang envoy asked nonchalantly, "Didn't the checkpoint send a warning signal?"
"I don't know, everything is normal at the bottom of the mountain, but the enemy seems to be flying up!" The general's tone was also quite puzzled, "If Lord Dai hadn't noticed the ground shaking, we wouldn't have even noticed that the southern mountain top had been attacked! "
"I see..." Kaiyang envoy thought thoughtfully, "Could it be the Dragon of the West?"
"What... dragon?"
"You don't need to worry, those who come should be elites." Luo Yunzheng grinned, "I heard that there are many experts in the Jinxia Army, not only Yuyi and Qingjian from Shangyuan Privy Palace, but also Jiuxiao who is no less than Yuyi. The Heavenly Thunder Envoy... I wonder if we can meet him this time?"
Then he calmly ordered, "You continue to control Tianmen and let me go meet these young people for a while."
