A few days ago, in Lingtai Realm.
While Jiang Yuebai was still hiding in the mountains, the army from the Huangshiling camp in Lingtai Realm came out in full force.
The armies of the four star alliances, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Vermillion Bird, have all arrived, ready to besiege the main force of the demon army from eight directions.
With one move, we will annihilate all the demons in the Lingtai Realm!
Xie Jingshan led an army alone, with Shen Huaixi as his adviser. The army had 5,000 people, and Zhuo Qingfeng, Hua Yingshi, Xu Qianjin, Xu Qiancheng and Zhao Kunling, five people from Guiyuan Sword Sect, were assigned as deputy generals, each leading a thousand people.
Originally, Xie Jingshan had senior brothers and sisters from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect serving as his assistants, but Shen Huaixi did not trust them. He was worried that they were involved with the Jing family of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect and would trip up Xie Jingshan behind his back.
Only then did he convince Xie Jingshan to assign the positions of the five deputy generals to Zhuo Qingfeng and the other five.
The five of them have now entered the Nascent Soul stage and are more than qualified to be deputy generals.
Shen Huaixi had two followers beside him, one was naturally Bai Jiuyou who was only in the Jindan stage, and the other was Xing Chou who he had to bring with him.
Their mission was to bypass Huangshiling and, while other armies were fighting the demons, to launch a surprise attack from the rear and cut off the demon army's retreat.
So after they received the mission, they set out early under the cover of night. Each of them carried a jade talisman that could conceal their aura, and they circled around Huangshi Ridge.
Along the way, Shen Huaixi had been observing secretly, and he found that Xie Jingshan was really suitable for leading troops.
Unlike other generals who were intimidating and relied solely on their brute force to subdue their subordinates, Xie Jingshan was carefree and got along well with others, making the overall atmosphere of the army relaxed and not depressing.
Even when talking to the old cultivator who was in charge of logistics and taking care of the spirit beasts accompanying the army, he would put down his airs and squat behind the spirit beast to chat with him, without any of the airs of a great master.
Whenever Xie Jingshan encountered the enemy, he always liked to shout exaggerated slogans, be full of passion, take the lead in charging, and mobilize the morale of the entire army.
He was like this when he first formed the Qingyun Society, making everyone excited and willing to follow him and fight until the last moment, regardless of their own lives.
Compared with Xie Jingshan, he, a military strategist, was kept at a respectful distance. Whenever they met him, they would be polite and perform a series of formalities without daring to offend him in the slightest.
Of course, it could also be that his performance in the Qingyun Club made people a little scared.
Xie Jingshan trusted Shen Huaixi and gave him full command of the entire army. Shen Huaixi also assured in front of the entire army that he had a clever plan that would not only allow him to reach the rear of the main force of the demon army early, but also catch them off guard.
Xie Jingshan was full of expectations and eager to try, but...
"Shen Huaixi, what on earth are you doing!"
It was a dark and windy night. In the deep canyon of Huangshiling Mountain, Xie Jingshan angrily ran to Shen Huaixi who was resting at the foot of the mountain. He gritted his teeth and questioned him in a low voice.
"We only have seven days to travel, but you change your orders every day, sometimes going east, sometimes going west. Sometimes there is an ambush in front, sometimes there are pursuers behind. Now it is the fifth day, and you are still leading the army to wander around in Huangshiling. Even if our entire army flies in the air now, we can't catch up with the rear of the main force of the demon army!"
Not far away, the soldiers who were sitting cross-legged to rest all looked over here. Quite a few of them were also angry as they were confused by Shen Huaixi these past few days.
Beside Shen Huaixi, Xing Chou sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing quietly. Bai Jiuyou leaned against a rock, banging on a small figure in偃甲 (偃甲) and taking the arms of the figure apart and putting them back together.
Shen Huaixi smiled and said, "Brother Jingshan, if I say I'm lost, do you believe me?"
“… … ”
Xie Jingshan was speechless and trembling with anger. He held it in for a long while before he lowered his voice and cursed.
"Bullshit! When you were six years old, you could memorize the entire map of Tianyan Sect with just one glance, down to every tree and every stele!"
"Huang Shi Ling, you're telling me you're lost? I won't believe your lies even if I have a head or an ass! Tell me the truth, what the hell are you doing?"
Shen Huaixi looked up at Xie Jingshan. Although his eyes were full of anger, he did not doubt him at all.
Even other generals had suspected whether he was a spy from the demon clan.
He is not a demon spy, but he is not human either.
"Shen Huaixi, if both the human and demon races are defeated, do you think the Sky Witch race will have a chance to rise?"
Fu Zhang's voice echoed in Shen Huaixi's mind. His eyes darkened and he avoided Xie Jingshan's eyes.
"Brother Jingshan, if you believe me, I will give you an explanation when daybreak comes."
"Dawn?! Everything will be too late when the sun rises!! If we can't arrive in time, you know the consequences!"
Shen Huaixi's eyes became deeper and deeper, "I know."
By then, no one will block the retreat of the main force of the demon army, and they are likely to escape. The battle in the Lingtai Realm will be difficult to end, and the human army will be dragged here, making it difficult to support other places.
A single move can affect the whole body!
Xie Jingshan clenched his fists, "If I hadn't grown up with you in the same underwear, I would have chopped you to pieces long ago!"
Xie Jingshan turned his head angrily and found that there were pairs of eyes staring at him. He was rarely angry.
"What are you looking at? You don't understand the counselor's mind and don't guess. Just wait patiently. We will definitely win this battle!"
Xie Jingshan left in anger. No matter how angry or confused he was, he never doubted Shen Huaixi at all. He even began to think about how he would take the blame for Shen Huaixi if his plan failed.
Shen Huaixi saw all of this, his fingers rubbing his knuckles in his sleeves, his brows slightly furrowed.
The night breeze was blowing gently, and the night in Huangshiling was still hot and unbearable. Heat from the ground continued to rise, bringing with it a pungent smell.
In this environment, many impatient people find it difficult to sit quietly and regulate their breathing. From time to time, some people will get up, walk around, and find a ventilated place to get some fresh air.
When the moon was at its zenith, the old monk who was in charge of looking after the spirit beasts at the rear of the army stood up, without disturbing anyone, and went to the formation where the spirit beasts were guarded, to check the conditions of the combat beasts one by one.
After finishing the inspection, he looked up at the moonlight, opened his mouth, moved his abdomen, and spit out a round bead full of demonic energy from his mouth.
A shadow descended from overhead, and a cold wind blew on the back of the old monk's neck. He shivered suddenly and turned around abruptly.
I saw little Bai Jiuyou standing on a huge rock at the foot of the mountain with her hands on her hips. The moonlight cast a huge shadow on her small body, and she looked cold and her eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Good evening, old man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an icy air rushed up from under the old monk's feet and instantly froze him into an ice sculpture. Bai Jiuyou pulled out a heavy hammer from the sky, swung it in a circle, and smashed it down heavily.
boom!
There was a loud explosion inside the formation, but there was silence outside the formation.
The old monk, the demon clan spy, is dead!
Bai Jiuyou stood up straight. She was exhausted these past few days. She checked five thousand people one by one and finally found this guy.
Shen Huaixi changes his orders every day, and the demon spies are unsure of the army's movements, so they have to increase the frequency of reporting to prevent any problems.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to find such an old thing that has no sense of existence at all.
When it was almost dawn, Xie Jingshan was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth and unable to sit down at all.
Shen Huaixi, who had been sitting quietly all night, suddenly stood up and walked towards a deserted place. Xing Chou also stood up immediately and followed behind him to "protect" him.
Xie Jingshan wanted to catch up and see, but a small person suddenly blocked his way. Bai Jiuyou held the black ice stick in his mouth and said indistinctly, "Stay still, old thing, or I'll beat you to death!"
Xie Jingshan: !!!
After turning a corner, Shen Huaixi disappeared. Xing Chou's heart tightened and he hurried to catch up.
When Xing Chou followed to the place where Shen Huaixi disappeared, he suddenly felt a tightening in his dantian, a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness, and the blood in his body flowed backwards.
She is poisoned!
"I've thought about it. I reject Immortal Lord Fu Zhang's proposal!"
Shen Huaixi's voice appeared behind him. Xing Chou was horrified and quickly crushed the jade token in his palm.
A red dragon shadow burst out from the jade plate, shaking off Shen Huaixi's attacking blood claws, entangled Xingchou in it, and disappeared underground.
Shen Huaixi staggered back due to the residual power and could sense the aura of Fu Zhang.
Shen Huaixi was not surprised by this. When Xingchou went to Tianyan Sect to find him, he could tell that Xingchou had met Fu Zhang.
The reason why he asked her to follow him was that he didn't want to alarm Fu Zhang and kill him in advance.
Of course he wanted to revive the Tianwu clan, but he would not do so at the cost of causing chaos or hurting his closest friends. He would use his own way to revive the name of the Tianwu clan!
After calming down, Shen Huaixi returned to where the army was stationed. At present, Immortal Lord Wu Wei was in charge of the Taiwei Star Alliance.
As long as he wins this battle and proves his worth, Fu Zhang will not dare to touch him easily.
"Get out of the way! You naughty kid, this is not the place for you to play, go back and play with mud!"
"Don't think I don't dare to hit you, old man!"
From a distance, Shen Huaixi saw Xie Jingshan and Bai Jiuyou staring at each other. The gloom in his heart dissipated and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Jiuyou, show Brother Jingshan your achievements over the past few days."
Hearing Shen Huaixi's voice, Bai Jiuyou angrily pushed Xie Jingshan away and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Shen Huaixi said that he could find Jiang Yuebai and help her clear her suspicion and return to Tianyan Sect.
Otherwise, Bai Jiuyou would have tied up Shen Huaixi and Xie Jingshan and beaten them to death!
Dare to order her to do something
Write it down in a small notebook first, and when we find that guy Jiang Yuebai, we’ll settle the accounts together!
Bai Jiuyou walked to the place where she had dismantled the Yanjia before, ran up and kicked the mountain wall casually.
Click!
The mountain wall cracked, the formation dissipated, and a big hole suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Zhuo Qingfeng and Hua Yingshi, who had just returned from shift change, also came over. They faintly heard faint digging sounds coming from the cave and it seemed that they had dug very far away.
