Lonely Mountain City.
Xuanlong City was one of the few cities that Lu Bei remembered. The last time he came here, he fought for eight hundred rounds with the demon king Lu Li from the Ten Thousand Mountains outside the city. He was lucky enough to get the Fang Tian Hua Ji, 1 Heavenly Book Fragment, and the Golden Winged Dapeng also got the Transformation Tribulation.
Afterwards, he had a meal with Emperor Xuanlong Zhao Fangce, and received a thank-you sword, a demon-slaying sword, and a white-haired diplomat as a gift.
Because the gifts are free, and free things are the most expensive, Lu Bei has not dyed the white hair into his color yet.
In the general's mansion, there is a clearly drawn map of the Ten Thousand Mountains hanging on the wall. It is the territory of the demon clan and it is difficult for human cultivators to penetrate into it. There are a lot of blank spaces on the map waiting to be filled.
This map came from the Chiyun Palace and was surveyed and drawn by the evil demon Bai Su himself. The territories of the four demon kings are clearly marked.
The guarding general, Mo Xiong Tu Yuan, had his hands behind his back, looked up at the map and said nothing. He was 1.2 meters tall, with a serious little face that was a bit chubby.
The powerful Chu army was deployed outside the border, and Xuanlong was attacked from both sides. The situation was extremely urgent.
As a frontline defender, Tu Yuan was angry at Xiong Chu's shameless act of taking advantage of the situation to rob, but she could only stand there and stare and do her own job well.
As luck would have it, the demon kings in the Ten Thousand Mountains behaved strangely, as if they had received some news. They rarely harassed the frontline cities and remained inactive for a long time.
The more the demon clan acted like this, the more Xuan Long treated it as a formidable enemy. He sent more troops to the front line and did not give the demon clan any opportunity to exploit.
The national policy has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Even though Xiong Chu is eyeing them covetously from behind, Xuanlong still fights to the death with the demon clan.
Tu Yuan looked at the map and analyzed what the demon kings were planning. Was there a possibility that Xiong Chu had fallen into depravity and joined forces with the demon clan in order to expand his territory
The noise outside the house disturbed his thoughts. Tu Yuan frowned and stopped. A soldier brought a victory report and he gestured with joy.
"General, a big tree has grown in the training grounds, and it has seven fruits."
"???"
The soldiers were so excited that their voices trembled. Tu Yuan mistakenly thought that a rare treasure had grown in the parade grounds. Only when he went to the scene did he see for himself what was going on.
Seven princes and princesses of the Gu family were hanging on a tree. From a certain perspective, this tree was more precious than any treasure from heaven or earth.
The soldiers were lined up with their weapons and armor, forming a formation using the 'Blood Battle Flag' method, surrounding the big tree. With the help of the golden dragon of luck under Gushan City, the soldiers of average strength were connected by their auras, and the power they unleashed was considerable.
But that was all. The Gu family convoy, whose members were all at the fusion level, was not at all inferior. They looked calm even when they were hanging upside down. Even when Tu Yuan arrived, they did not frown.
The carts were not sealed and they were strong enough to break free from the ropes at any time. The reason they were so obedient was because they were intimidated by Lu Bei, a Mahayana cultivator. They knew very well that the more they struggled, the more excited the other party would become.
Soon, Tu Yuan realized that the big tree did not grow out of thin air. Someone kidnapped the prince and princess of Xiong Chu and sent them to Gushan City.
Looking around, I found two white-haired creatures in the corner of the training ground.
Zhao Wuxie and Zhao Wuyou.
"Strange, why is she here?"
Zhao Wuyou was once Tu Yuan's adjutant and served as a minor general in Gushan City. Later, he was given an important task by Emperor Xuanlong and transferred to Wu Zhou to serve as a diplomat.
A diplomat in the literal sense.
Zhao Wuyou would not return to Gushan City for no reason, unless...
Thinking of this, Tu Yuan looked at Zhao Wuxie again, frowned, and glared at him fiercely.
The blood oath backfired, and yes, it was her thigh that came to bite her.
"The parade ground is an important place for military exercises. How can you make loud noises? All of you retreat. What you saw today must not be spread to others. Those who violate the rules will be punished by military law!" Tu Yuan shouted loudly and drove a group of hot-blooded soldiers out of the parade ground.
"Meet the General."
Seeing Tu Yuan walking quickly towards him, Zhao Wuyou bowed and saluted.
Xuanlong is a country that values military power, and diplomats are civilians. Even though her official rank is higher than Tu Yuan's, she has to call herself a subordinate.
Tu Yuan nodded, realizing at a glance that the jade had been returned intact to Zhao State. He thought to himself that Emperor Xuanlong was overjoyed for nothing, as the plan was well-made but something went wrong during execution.
What a pity!
With seven large carts nearby, Tu Yuan was reluctant to expose Lu Bei's identity, so he looked completely unaware and spoke to General Zhao in a businesslike manner.
"The princes and princesses are of noble status and are worth a lot. Each of them is equivalent to 100,000 soldiers. They are the distinguished guests invited by Xuanlong. They should not be neglected lightly, and soldiers should not offend the emperor. I will trouble General Tu to make the arrangements."
"It should be so. General Zhao is right."
Tu Yuan sent a message to Lu Bei, saying that in order to prevent the soldiers from disobeying military orders, he would rather die than cause trouble to Xiong Chu. The three princesses should be sent to his house and guarded by him personally.
You are such a clever little fellow!
Lu Bei rolled his eyes and told Tu Yuan not to meddle in other people's business and to follow Xuanlong's procedures.
The four princes were sent to the basement and locked up with the demon orcs. The three princesses were sent to the woodshed. A toll booth was set up in front of the door, with clearly marked prices and charged by the time.
That’s your Wu Zhou, Xuan Long doesn’t have such a process!
It was Tu Yuan's turn to be speechless. As for how to lure people into submission, the demon from outside the domain was better. He handed the captives over to Zhao Wuyou for arrangement, and walked into the house side by side with Lu Bei.
When the door closed, Tu Yuan bowed his head and called him "great god".
As he spoke, he took out three incense sticks and offered them to the master in person.
"What a mess, where did you learn this from?"
Lu Bei was speechless. He used to think that the Chiyun Palace was useless and the three villains were more unreliable than each other.
The sword villain has dead eyes, and every day he is either chopping people or on his way to chop people; the demon villain is a stupid bird, and never touches the ground all day long; the demon villain is the worst, not only is he honest, but also has a bad eye, and regards him, a serious Taoist, as a reincarnated demon.
After meeting Lu Dong and Lu Nan, he finally realized that he was indeed the reincarnation of the devil. Tu Yuan had a keen eye and was a master at currying favor with people. He was definitely a wise man who appeared foolish.
However, his reincarnation came in the opposite direction, from the world of immortals to the world of demons.
"Great God, ever since the day I worshipped you as my Lord, I have never neglected my daily worships..." Tu Yuan showed his loyalty and took the opportunity to hug your thigh, explaining the daily routine of three bows and nine kowtows.
There is an altar in Tuyuan's house dedicated to the owner, and there is also a god tablet. People bathe, burn incense, and perform rituals around the altar every day.
This is what a demon cultivator is like!
perhaps.
"You mean the spiritual tablet, the one with all the flowers."
Lu Bei was even more speechless and kicked Tu Yuan away. The worship ceremony sounded very evil. He was not a real demon from outside the domain. He should not do this again in the future.
Seeing that Lu Bei admitted his identity as an extraterritorial demon, Tu Yuan was overjoyed, and whispered that he was ignorant in his early years and went astray, mistakenly worshipping the Five Emperors of the Five Directions. Now he has come to his senses and asked Lu Bei to grant him the title of the Demon Palace and the supreme magic skills corresponding to the title.
This was the first time Lu Bei had heard of believers asking for benefits from the Lord God. He said unscrupulously, "I don't have a title in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Only second-rate Heavenly Demons are ranked according to seniority. The Heavenly Demon Palace can't accommodate a great god like me."
Tu Yuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Lu Bei was lying to her or she was hugging a big thick leg.
"The Lord of the Heavenly Demons, Lu Bei."
Lu Bei lowered his head, his eyes filled with a thick darkness, instantly sweeping away the evil thoughts in Tu Yuan's body: "From now on, worship according to this, do you understand?"
Tu Yuan swallowed his saliva. The silly husband opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Her intuition told her that Lu Bei was talking nonsense and was clearly making fun of her, and he was unwilling to bestow the title of Heavenly Demon Palace on her.
"Why, you don't believe it?"
"No, no." Tu Yuan shook her head embarrassedly. Whether it was true or not, right or wrong, she would know after she went back and paid her respects.
I hope not. She just wants to find a mountain to recognize a big brother so that she won’t become cannon fodder when she ascends to the demon world one day.
She couldn't afford to worship the Lord of Demons, and she didn't want to cause the demons to descend on the world and cause suffering to all living things.
"What's going on in Xuanlong recently? Xiongchu has already attacked at the doorstep, why is there still no movement?"
Lu Bei sat on the main seat of the General's Mansion and flipped through the military intelligence on the case. He added, "What about the Mahayana stage? Where are all the Mahayana stage players in Xuan Long?"
With the blood oath contract in place, Tu Yuan couldn't resist Lu Bei's orders. While serving tea and water, he massaged shoulders and backs and told him the information behind the Shiwandashan Mountains.
"Wait a minute, you're not in the right position like this, go a little bigger, understand?"
The 1.2-meter-tall little Lolita called him "Great God" when she opened her mouth and "Master" when she closed her mouth. Lu Bei felt a pain in his balls when he heard this. Although he knew that the world of cultivating immortals could not be measured by common sense, he still chose to refuse.
Tu Yuan understood immediately and dispersed the secret Qigong technique that he had practiced for nine years. He transformed from a 1.2-meter-tall girl into a tall, charming big sister with red lips.
He looks so fierce and worthy of the name of the evil demon.
Lu Bei gave a thumbs-up manually, patted his chest, and commented that it was solid.
Tu Yuan blushed, lowered her head to avoid Lu Bei's gaze, and acted coquettishly and awkwardly.
"Alright, stop acting. There's no outsiders here. There's no need to pretend to be a good girl. Just continue talking." Lu Bei urged.
Who says that a demon cultivator can’t be a good woman
As the demon from outside the realm said, it’s okay.
The leader spoke, and Tu Yuan had no way to refute. The prostitute moved over and carefully sat on Lu Bei's legs. Seeing that he looked fine, she began to speak.
The human race and the demon race are clearly divided, and there is a dividing line between the two races running through the east and west, which is not much shorter than the Kunlun Mountains.
The Xuanlong front is only a part of this dividing line. It is located in a remote area, far away from the demon clan’s base camp, the Wan Yao Kingdom. Against the backdrop of the main battlefield of the two clans, it can only be regarded as a minor skirmish.
The demon tribe has a large number of people, and their ability to produce troops is first-rate regardless of whether there is a war or not. A litter of seven or eight cubs is too large for humans to catch up even if they die of exhaustion.
Even in terms of talent, the demon race is stronger than the human race. When compared in the same realm, the demon race is always one level stronger.
If one encounters a demon with a unique bloodline talent, such as Lu Li, it would be no problem for him to challenge and kill human cultivators above his level.
All along, the demon race's grand strategy has not changed. Without going to war, in order to consume the human race's resources and prevent the human race from developing, they have been attacking and harassing the dividing line for years, and would rather lose 10,000 of their own than inflict 8,000 casualties on the human race.
The demon clan can afford it. With the Buzhou Mountains behind them, they can have as many little demons as they want.
The human race can’t do that.
With this consumption ratio, at first glance it seems that the human race won the battle, but in fact the demon race achieved a strategic victory.
Xuanlong is the best example. It is a mountain of one hundred thousand meters high. Four demon kings command endless demon soldiers, dragging the entire Xuanlong into the quagmire of war. Even Xiong Chu, Wu Zhou, Qi and Yan have to send money to Xuanlong every year.
As for Xuanlong's Mahayana period.
They were not in Xuanlong. The human race formed a united front and all the countries bordering the demon race formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the same advance and retreat. Under the command of the human holy land, they concentrated on the main battlefield.
Jingyue Kingdom.
Among the major countries of the human race, this country has the worst geographical location. Opposite it lives the Country of Ten Thousand Demons. When you climb up the city gate, you can see thousands of miles of demon clouds covering the sky and blocking the sun.
"Can they come back?" Lu Bei frowned and asked.
"In theory, if you leave the battle line without the permission of the Holy Land, you should be executed."
"That's fine!"
