"Fang Yuan Daozi, please sit down..."
Arriving at the third level of Bahuang City, in the main hall in the center of the city, I saw that the layout of the main hall was extremely simple, even crude, with only black hard rocks paving the ground, and surrounding fiery red stone pillars supporting the dome. , at the end of the main hall, there is a square of stone chairs with simple carvings. There are only two rows of futons on both sides of the surrounding area, giving people a solemn impression.
The three black-robed elders of Bahuang City led Fang Yuan to sit on the futon in the center of the hall. On his left and right sides, there were already several other elders of Bahuang City, as well as several elders who were obviously dressed as immortals. He was looking at Fang Yuan quietly all the time.
They seemed to be well prepared, with thick rosters and pens in front of them.
Fang Yuan bowed to them one by one and then sat down. He didn't say anything more and just waited quietly.
This time he came to the Devil's Edge, and all his affairs had already been arranged. He would first accept the canonization of the divine generals of Bahuang City, and then go to one of the ten divine passes to be responsible for guarding the divine pass. At that time, what to do , it’s actually very simple. He just needs to be familiar with the affairs of guarding the divine pass and ensure that nothing happens to the divine pass. After that, he can make his own decisions on refining weapons and so on...
Only if there are some matters that have a great impact, you need to come to Bahuang City to report to the commander-in-chief.
However, it is still uncertain which divine gate he needs to guard.
The Devil's Edge battlefield has Bahuang City as its core, but the real front line is the ten sacred passes three thousand miles away from the Devil's Abyss.
Each divine pass is responsible for guarding the land 100,000 miles outside the pass, and beyond these 100,000 miles, there are countless small passes, which firmly lock the various passages of the Demon Abyss, and fall within the scope of the ten major divine passes. It is also within the scope of responsibilities of these guardian generals.
In normal times, the people who are responsible for guarding these ten divine gates are called the top ten divine generals. However, there are many people on the demon side, and they have accumulated merits. There are no one knows how many divine generals there are. Only those who can guard the divine gates can have them. Qualifications are ranked among the top ten divine generals. Of course, there is no measurement standard for these ten great generals. Usually, there can be many people who hold the position of these ten great generals, but the closer they are to the catastrophe, the older generals They all retreated and left a place for the stronger people one by one...
"Fang Yuan Daozi, who traveled thousands of miles to come to the Devil's Edge early to make great contributions, is really respectable. After receiving the letter from Wangqing Island in Bahuang City, he issued the order of the Divine General, and the Immortal Alliance also ordered us old men to come over. , is responsible for your canonization. Now everything is ready. Now that you are here, you can immediately choose an auspicious day to hold the ceremony, but you don’t have to worry!"
When Fang Yuan heard this, he bowed his head again and said, "Thank you, seniors!"
In his heart, he was not interested in the auspicious days of the zodiac, nor was he interested in the scene of the divine general's seal. He just wanted to know which divine gate would be assigned to his name. Before coming to the devil's side, he had already forgotten his feelings. Dao got the records of the ten sacred passes in his hands and studied them respectively, but he still didn't know which one would be guarded.
"only… "
Just when Fang Yuan was thinking about it, one of the Bahuang City elders suddenly hesitated slightly, nodded gently to Fang Yuan, and then said: "There is something that I need to let Daozi know. The matter of the divine general's seal is not generous. , but the guarding of Shengguan requires long-term planning..."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Yuan looked up at the elder and frowned slightly.
The old deacon of Wangqing Island beside him also changed his face slightly, but he held back and did not speak.
"Don't be upset, Taoist, just listen to me and tell you slowly!"
The elder of Bahuang City hurriedly said: "After receiving the news that you were going to the Demon's Edge, Bahuang City immediately sent out the book of the Divine General's seal. There also happened to be an old Divine General who had been guarding the Demon-Suppressing Pass for hundreds of years. Just because After resigning, it is most appropriate to arrange for you to succeed. But no one expected that the crown prince of the Nine Heavens Dynasty would also leave the country at this time. A letter from the Immortal Emperor came to him, saying that both of you are newly promoted divine generals, with the imperial title. It’s not generous, but now there is only one vacancy in the Divine Pass, but which one of you two is responsible for it?”
"The son of the Ninth Heavenly Emperor?"
Fang Yuan immediately understood the whole story, and his face suddenly sank slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Of course, this matter has long been a routine, so it's best to stick to the routine. Both of us want to come to the devil's side to make meritorious deeds, and naturally we also want to have a space to show off our skills. Shen Guan only has One place, then whoever comes first will get it first!"
What he said seemed polite, but in fact he was very tough and showed no intention of giving in.
In the main hall, the elders of the Immortal Alliance and the elders of Bahuang City suddenly looked a little embarrassed and looked at each other.
Fang Yuan saw their embarrassment, but had no intention of giving in.
Now, there are only twenty years until the great catastrophe comes...
In these twenty years, he has a lot to do and must do it, so he must cherish every minute of time.
Besides, he didn't have any bad feelings towards the son of the Ninth Level Emperor who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had met him before the Jade Gate Divine Pass. However, after all, they both came to the Devil's Edge at the same time and became the first holy place to be born and walk. Daozi, then the two of them will also have a fight. This is not a matter of personal grudges, but a matter of destiny.
Just like the Jade Gate Divine Pass, there is only one teleportation formation.
Today, there is only one vacancy among the ten levels of Demon Border.
Either you or him, no matter how hard you want to fight, you must continue to fight.
What you want to do requires this magical barrier, and the face of Wangqing Island also needs to be won by yourself!
Because of Fang Yuan's attitude, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressed.
The elders of the Immortal Alliance and Bahuang City seemed not to have expected that Fang Yuan, a Taoist from a humble background, would have such a tyrannical attitude. He was not as easy to talk to as they had expected, so it was hard to say what he said next. , looking embarrassed.
But at this moment, a female general sitting behind several elders, wearing a white robe and with a face as white as jade, suddenly spoke and said lightly: "You have been guarding Shengguan for decades, or For hundreds of years, they have made numerous achievements and performed extremely well, but as soon as you Holy Land Daoists come here, you immediately ask them to step down from their posts, or directly integrate them into the army, or become your staff. This is a ridiculous thing in itself, even if you These Taoist disciples of the Holy Land have received great resources, great fortune, and extraordinary strength, but how many of them know how to organize their troops? Why do you want to let those veterans with meritorious service and experience step down as soon as you come here?"
As she spoke, she smiled coldly and said: "To be honest, if this wasn't written in the ancient covenant, I would not have wanted you to guard the divine pass in the first place. However, since even the Immortal League agreed to this, Covenant, it's up to you to ask for blame if something happens, but if at this time, you still have to fight for a pass, saying "first come, first served", that would be ridiculous. The devil has been fighting for many years, you Every line and thought is related to the lives of countless people. What comes first, comes first, is the only thing that can be said... "
She turned her clear but cold eyes to look at Fang Yuan and said word by word: "...it's strength!"
Fang Yuan heard this person's words and glanced at her lightly.
An elder from the Immortal League next to him saw what Fang Yuan meant and said hurriedly: "This is the third disciple of the city lord of Bahuang City. Her name is Liuhuo. She is the guard of Feiyan Pass, one of the top ten sacred passes. She is the replacement for the city lord. You are here to help us deal with this matter!”
After hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded slightly and said to the woman calmly, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"
The goddess who summons flowing fire said calmly: "Of course I want you two to compete and decide who is better. Need I say more?"
When Fang Yuan heard this, he knew that they had already planned something, and turned to look at the elders of the Immortal Alliance.
One of the elders of Bahuang City held up a volume of scriptures and said in a deep voice: "When you sit in the Shengguan, you must not only guard the Shengguan so that it is as solid as gold, but you must also go out of the pass at all times and lead your troops to conquer the surrounding area for hundreds of thousands of miles. The dark creatures within are constantly strangled to prevent them from having a chance to grow up, but just a month ago, the old god general Meng Juyue who was originally stationed at the Demon Suppressing Pass was temporarily alienated and was grown by a dark creature within three thousand miles. When Meng Jinghan stood up, thousands of dark creatures gathered together and roared together. Meng Jinghan sent out troops three times, but failed to kill the dark creature. Instead, it devoured many god generals. Meng Juyue was the Therefore, he resigned from the post of divine general..."
After talking about the matter of the Divine Pass, the Bahuang City elder slowly closed the book in his hand, looked directly at Fang Yuan and said: "And long before you and the Crown Prince of the Jiuchongtian Dynasty came to the Devil's Edge, We have already discussed that the two of you are extraordinary and have a very high status. We in Bahuang City can't say who of you two will guard the divine pass first and who will wait for punishment in Bahuang City first. Therefore, we simply set up a competition. Whoever can kill that dark creature between the two of you will naturally become the guardian of Shenguan!"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and then said calmly: "Where is that dark creature now?"
His tone was calm, and he didn't seem to take this dark creature seriously.
But when the elders heard this, they looked a little embarrassed, as if they couldn't speak for a while.
After a long while, an elder from the Immortal Alliance took over and said: "Fang Daozi misunderstood. He is stationed at the Divine Pass. Although personal cultivation is important, it cannot determine everything. More often, it depends on your coordination. Soldiers and generals are capable. Therefore, this time the battle will not be fought by you or the followers around you, but by assigning a certain amount of manpower to you, and then it will be up to you to make a military plan and rehearse the formation. In the end, whichever side's troops can retrieve the head of the dark creature will win!"
"This is actually the method..."
After hearing this, Fang Yuan pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking about it in his heart.
Several elders in the hall fell silent at this time, quietly waiting for Fang Yuan's answer.
"You said that you need to rely on strength to gain a foothold in the devil's side. I agree!"
After Fang Yuan pondered for a long time, he looked at the female general Liu Huo who was wearing a white robe, nodded, then glanced at the elders in the hall, and said calmly: "I also respect Bahuang City for sticking to the devil's edge. Dare I It is my passion to guard the border for the world, so I agreed to this matter. I will follow the rules you mentioned and compete with the Prince of Jiuchongtian on the ownership of the divine pass... "
"But, only this time!"
As he spoke, he had already stood up, his eyes were stern, he glanced in all directions, his voice was low, and he whispered: "I have my own things to do when I come to the devil's side, and I don't want to distract my energy, so don't do it in the future. Don’t bother me again with this cat and dog thing!”
I’m so excited to add more! I have to edit it again before uploading it, so I’ll put it out around seven o’clock!
