Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and autumn comes again in a blink of an eye. At this time, it has been nearly three years since Ye Wuchen fell into the soul-breaking abyss.
In the western part of Tianlong Kingdom, there is a desolate land, where weeds are everywhere, and there are few people. At this time, there was a huge team coming in a uniform manner, the number of people was as many as 10,000, and the word "Zhuge" was written on the flag of the team.
In the middle of the team, Zhuge Wuwu looked at the front coldly with majestic eyes. Since the past year, the number of Dafeng Kingdom's attacks has become less and less. It is rumored that the mysterious and powerful "evil sect" has repeatedly tossed and tossed him, and he is too busy to take care of himself, but he can't be careless. In order to completely drive out the constantly tempting Gale National Army, he put on his own clothes again and again.
Speaking of "Evil Sect", it was a mysterious force that suddenly appeared a year ago, and it took only one year to enshrine its prestige in everyone's hearts. Its power can only be described as "frightening". This force initially appeared in the form of an organization, specializing in receiving various killing missions and selling various information. And during this year, none of the murder missions they accepted were completed, and the information they sold, as long as they could meet their asking price, none of them could not be obtained. And the one time this evil sect was completely crowned with the title of terror was when it took over the task of destroying the Huangfu family of the Dafeng Kingdom at a high price, killing more than three hundred members of the Huangfu family, old and young, in one night, without a single survivor.
The Huangfu family is one of the five great families of magic and martial arts in the Dafeng Kingdom. There are many masters and the power is known to everyone, but they died overnight. What's even more frightening is that none of the people around that night heard the sound of the battle. However, the matter did not end here. Killing so many people undoubtedly required a sky-high price, and the person who entrusted Xiezong to kill Huangfu's family turned out to be Baili Family, one of the five great magic and martial families in Dafeng Kingdom. They did not expect Xiezong at all. To actually complete this shocking killing mission, he couldn't pay the price set before at all. As a result, the Baili family's house was ransacked overnight, and more than five hundred members of the family were killed.
From then on, no one in Tianchen Continent knew the name of the evil sect. Whenever the word "evil sect" was mentioned, they would feel chills in their hearts. Some people even compared the strength of the evil sect with the Southern Emperor Sect and the Northern Emperor Sect. Although no one believed that the evil sect was stronger than the Southern Emperor Sect and the Northern Emperor Sect, it was far more terrifying. At least, although the Southern Emperor Sect and the Northern Emperor Sect are strong, they will not get involved in worldly affairs, let alone commit such acts of murder and ransacking their homes.
However, it was also reported that the Southern Emperor Sect and the Northern Emperor Sect planned to capture the people of the evil sect and find out their details, but all of them ended in vain. Where the Xiezong lives and how many people there are, no one knows, and no one has seen anyone in the Xiezong. It is just a rumor that the head of the evil sect is a person named "Evil Emperor", who is rumored to be as terrifying as a devil, who usually only haunts the Great Wind Country, and wherever he is rumored to be, no matter how daring people see him He can't help shivering.
Anyone with a heart can see that the evil sect seems to have a lot of hatred for the Great Wind Nation. They will only take over the large-scale killing missions of the Great Wind Nation, and they will never take over the other three countries. The people who are killed will only be some villains who are on the hegemony side. And the small army stationed outside the Gale Nation would often be completely annihilated for no apparent reason, and two bright red characters written in blood would be left on the ground strewn with corpses—Xiezong.
Because of this, the national army of Dafeng was panicked. When they marched, they looked forward and backward, and their fighting spirit was greatly weakened. It also slowed down the pace of the invasion of Tianlong Kingdom. In the past three years, the biggest reason why the Great Wind Nation has not invaded on a large scale is the Southern Emperor Sect. Now, the three-year period is coming soon.
"Father, what are you thinking?" Beside Zhuge Wuwu, a petite and slender soldier in heavy armor and holding a spear whispered in a low voice. Although the voice was intentionally thickened, it still had a high-pitched tone, making it sound more like a woman.
As for her, it was Zhuge Xiaoyu who had followed Zhuge Wuwu into the battlefield all these years and had experienced wars of all sizes. This year, who has been in her 20th year, her brows have lost a bit of the agility and savagery of the past, but instead contain wisdom and majesty. A girl who used to be carefree and the biggest girl in the world, from the fear and nausea she showed after insisting on going to the battlefield for the first time, to getting used to seeing life, death and blood, her whole person is constantly changing with this change . Her slender eyebrows are like moon, her eyes are like diamonds, and her small diamond lips are slightly dry. The bulky armor on her slender body not only does not look incongruous, on the contrary, it sets off her heroic spirit.
No one in the army knew that she was a woman, the daughter of Zhuge Wuwu, but no one found out. Even Long Yin never mentioned it after he knew about it. Because, her amazing performance in the past three years made no one want her to take off her armor and leave the battlefield at this turbulent moment.
Zhuge Wuxin looked ahead, and sighed: "I haven't been home for three months, your mother must be worried about you to death, alas, if I knew today, dad really shouldn't have taught you a girl to touch these things .” He smiled wryly again, and said, “It’s just that Dad can’t leave you now.”
Hearing Zhuge Wuxin's oblique praise, Zhuge Xiaoyu immediately beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? After this battle is over and we drive them all out, we can go home. Mother will definitely treat you as before." I cook a lot of delicious food."
Zhuge Wuxin patted her on the head with a smile, and said: "You, you have always been so relaxed, but you don't know a word to be afraid of. If you don't pay attention on the battlefield, you will lose your life. A little miscalculation, but everything will be destroyed. The army is in danger of being annihilated."
"Hmph! There's nothing to be afraid of. The army of the Great Wind Nation brags so much every day, but it's nothing more than that. I beat them to the ground every time." Zhuge Xiaoyu said proudly.
Zhuge Wuxin didn't refute. Zhuge Xiaoyu seemed to be born with an extremely sensitive sense of the battlefield, and could always quickly judge the general plan of the enemy army, and then make a lot of strange moves to catch the enemy by surprise.
"Wait a minute, dad!" Zhuge Xiaoyu suddenly said, frowning and looking forward. Zhuge Wuwu immediately waved his hands when he heard the words: "The whole army stops advancing."
The huge team stopped in an orderly manner. Zhuge Wuwu trusted Zhuge Xiaoyu already, and said cautiously: "Yu'er, did you discover something else?"
Zhuge Xiaoyu looked around and said: "Let the archers go forward, prepare the rockets on the spot, and the cavalry in the center. The rear army draws 3,000 people to go around the steep slope to the front of the two miles, and move quickly. I remember that the place is marked on the map. There is a path."
Zhuge Wuxin nodded, waiting for her to explain.
Zhuge Xiaoyu pointed forward with his finger, and said seriously: "Passing the small slope a hundred meters ahead, there is a lot of withered grass, as tall as a person, there should be countless autumn insects, but when our army marched here, there was no one in front If the bird is startled, there must be an ambush in the withered grass. It is impossible to defend against the cover of withered grass, but the position they chose is to push themselves into a dead end, because there is a line on our right that can be copied to their rear Burn it with rockets, mess up its position, and attack from front to back. If there are no accidents in this battle, there will be no suspense."
Zhuge Wuwu thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Yu'er, it seems that you already know all the sections of our journey."
"Dad taught me very early on that the battlefield is ever-changing, only the terrain will not change. Familiar with the terrain in all directions must be prepared before marching and fighting. So every time I march, I will take a look at the map I found. Many times. Along the way, I will take it out and look at it more. Dad, even without me, you should be able to see it. Order it quickly."
Zhuge Wuxin chuckled, thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Pass the order down..."
The team immediately began to mobilize in an orderly manner. The front was replaced by a large team of archers, each of them raised their bows behind their backs and held a rocket tied with brimstone in their hands. A team left quietly behind.
The army continued to move forward, and there was a small slope less than five meters high in front of it. Zhuge Xiaoyu kept frowning. If she expected correctly, as long as the team passed the front, they would be ambushed. At this moment, she made a move, and Zhuge Wuxin gave an order, and shouted: "Rockets are ready, let the arrows go!"
The rockets were ignited one by one, and then shot forward and upward mercilessly. The flaming sharp arrows flew over the small slope in a fiery arc, flew a long distance, and landed on the overgrown withered grass, instantly igniting the withered grass. The fire spread quickly by the wind, and a large area was ignited in a blink of an eye.
There was a sound of panic mixed with miserable cries, and the army that had been ambushing in the withered grass suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.
The corner of Zhuge Xiaoyu's mouth twitched when he heard the sound, "Hmph, that's true, let's go!"
The cavalry cleared the way first, and rushed forward amidst the shouts, with the momentum of a broken bamboo. As soon as the confrontation broke out, they killed the Gale National Army, which was already in chaos. After struggling for a long time, they were finally defeated and fled. Behind them, there was another shout suddenly, a Heavenly Dragon Army that came from nowhere blocked their retreat, attacking back and forth, and killed the team that was ready to go, throwing away their helmets and armor, wailing all over the sky …
In the distance, two figures stood on the highest hillside. The tall figure standing in front of him was dressed in silver all over, and strands of silver light reflected under the light. His face was wearing a silver mask, which seemed to be made of sterling silver, covering his entire face, leaving only two terrifying eyes exposed. With his hands behind his back, he stood there quietly looking at the completely one-sided chaotic battlefield. Occasionally, the wind blew, and the dry grass on the ground was skewed, but it failed to brush the corner of his clothes. The person standing behind him was all in black, with a black mask on his face. His slender figure and bulging chest made it easy to see that she was a woman.
"She has grown up." The silver-clothed man sighed softly. He no longer needed to watch this moderate battle. Turning around, he said flatly, "Continue to protect her."
After finishing speaking, the body of the silver-clothed man flew up like a big bird, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
The woman in black looked devoutly and admiringly at the direction in which the man in silver was leaving. She didn't come back to her senses until he had gone away, and her pair of extremely sharp eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiaoyu. As long as there is anything that endangers her, she will strike like lightning.
Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, the forgotten corner.
"It's been twenty-five years, and it's finally coming again." Chu Cangming raised his head halfway, not knowing whether he was talking to himself, or telling the two people in front of him.
"What twenty-five years?" Chu Jingtian scratched his head and asked in confusion. At this time, he was thicker and taller than he was three years ago, and his big piercing eyes implied impatient eagerness. And on his back was a slender sword. The scabbard is dark blue. Beside him, Leng Ya, who had also matured, looked much thinner by comparison, but his aura was quite different. For three years, he was like a sharp knife, very cold and stern. Now, however, he has a lifeless and listless expression, but the occasional glances from his half-closed eyes are sharper than knives, making people tremble with fear and chills all over.
"Twenty-five years have passed since the last Tianchen Demon and Martial Arts Conference. Twenty-five years have passed... Tianchen Continent has been relatively stable, and there have been no more disasters, but because of this, the magic and martial arts have withered. The young man who had a strong strength back then None of my seniors has made much progress in these years, and the strongest ones are still us old men." Chu Cangming murmured to himself.
"Tianchen Demon Martial Arts Conference?" Hearing the name, Chu Jingtian's eyes lit up, and then his eyes became fanatical: "Will there be many masters there? Can anyone participate?"
"The Tianchen Magic and Martial Arts Conference is held every twenty-five years. It is a competition for the highest strength in the Tianchen Continent. There, the real No. 1 in the world will be judged. Back then, I was known as the 'Four Gods of Heavenly Dragon' along with Feng Chaoyang, Wu Hangao, and Xuenv." It was obtained at the Tianchen Magic Martial Arts Conference. Twenty-five years... There can be several twenty-five years in a life, and anyone with a certain strength will not have the heart to miss it. Every time there is a competition, there is a real strong Those are like clouds." Chu Cangming said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes," Chu Jingtian nodded vigorously, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Grandpa, do you want us to..."
"In the past three years, I have seen your amazing progress. This competition is the best time for you to test yourself. I hope that you will not let me down." Chu Cangming said in a long voice.
"No, no, no, I will definitely not disappoint grandpa." Chu Jingtian, who had blood of war in his bones, was terribly excited. Can't wait for the game tomorrow. He is good at swords, but he is locked here and not allowed to go out. It is almost a dream that he wants to find a master to fight.
"Grandpa, will you go to the competition?" Chu Jingtian asked excitedly.
"I'm tired, so I don't mind going." Chu Cangming waved his hand, "It's getting late, you go to sleep. Leave here tomorrow, the world is so big, let you roam around, no one will restrict your freedom anymore."
"Okay!!" Chu Jingtian turned over excitedly, turned around and was about to run to his nest.
"I want to go back to Tianlong City first." Leng Ya, who had not said a word, raised her head and said. For three years, he missed his mother more and more day by day.
"Hehe, don't worry, there is enough time." Chu Cangming smiled rarely, expressing his approval for his filial piety.
"Okay! I just happened to go to see Brother Ye and Sister Ningxue. I haven't seen each other for so many years. What's on my mind." Chu Jingtian laughed.
Hearing this, Chu Cangming sighed leisurely: "Go, go and have a look... But you have to remember that when you travel around the world, you will often encounter unexpected situations, and you must be fully prepared."
Chu Jingtian was confused, so he nodded in agreement in a daze, and went back to sleep.
