"Dig your own grave?"
Su Yun watched him go away. Baili Du was extremely powerful and was definitely one of the strongest men in the world. Now Su Yun was not sure he could keep him.
Although Prime Minister Xiao Xingchen was captured alive by Yingying and imprisoned in a golden coffin, Xiao Xingchen was a man of great integrity and had not surrendered yet. He would certainly not be willing to join forces with him to deal with the Immortal Prime Minister Baili Du.
Moreover, even if Baili Du was left behind, it would be useless. Di Hu had countless bodies, and even Di Shu was controlled. It would be useless to take the trouble to get rid of Baili Du!
"Brother Dao, the fight between you and me has just begun!"
A few days later, they passed through the Zhongshan Cave Heaven and returned to the Imperial Court. Su Yun immediately went to the underground of the Imperial Court's Golden Palace, only to see that the new thunder pool was folded up. Even after being folded, the area was more than ten miles in radius. It was unknown how big it would be after it was unfolded.
Su Yun found Chai Chuxi and asked her if she had met Baili Du.
Chai Chuxi was surprised and immediately thought of a craftsman he met not long ago. He said, "There was a craftsman who communicated with me a lot. He had a very profound understanding of the Thunder Pool and pointed out several mistakes in my way of disaster. He was very powerful."
Yingying drew Baili Du's appearance and asked, "Is this the person?"
Chai Chuxi looked at him and said, "That's him."
Su Yun let out a breath and immediately asked someone to check if there was any damage on the thunder pool. He also asked Chai Chuxi to point out the mistakes pointed out by Baili Du and check them carefully.
However, what puzzled him was that Baili Du did not do anything to make the new thunder pool turn red, and there were no problems with Chai Chuxi's skills, great ways, and magical powers.
"If that person is really Baili Du, and Baili Du is Di Hu, then he should not do anything to Lei Chi, nor will he harm me. Among the three forces, Di Feng is the most powerful, we are second, Xie Di is third, and Baili Du is fourth."
Chai Chuxi saw it very clearly and said, "He doesn't have enough troops to fight against us, so he can only use the Thunder Pool to weaken everyone. That way he will have the upper hand. Therefore, not only will he not touch me, but he will protect me and the Thunder Pool."
Su Yun nodded, his eyes flickering as he said, "After this great defeat, Emperor Feng should have dragged all the immortals, gods, and demons to the Seventh Immortal Realm, right? Chu Xi, you must be ready to offer sacrifices to the Thunder Pool at any time!"
Chai Chuxi looked calm and said, "You can rest assured."
Su Yun returned to the imperial capital and thought: "Now I can slowly persuade Xiao Xingchen to surrender. Should I torture him to surrender, or use beauties and treasures to seduce him to surrender..."
Su Yun immediately rejected these two thoughts: "I don't even have a few beauties, how can I let this guy get away with it?"
In the starry sky, Tianshi Yan Ziqi searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Immortal Court Army. The Immortal Court Army was harassed by various departments of the Imperial Court and had to set up camp in the starry sky and defend on the spot.
It is not easy to find them in the starry sky. But fortunately, in recent times, because four of the six old immortals died in battle, only Yue Zhaoquan and Lu Xianren were left, the strength of the imperial court was greatly damaged. Even with the exiled immortal Chai Raofeng in charge, the frequency of sneak attacks and invasions on the immortal court soldiers was not as high as before.
Some Immortal Court camps have already begun to move out and continue to advance. They will set up camp to resist when they encounter an enemy attack.
Yan Ziqi searched all the way and met the first group of Immortal Court troops on the way, so he recruited them into his army. After walking for a few days, he met the second group of Immortal Court troops.
By the time Yue Zhaoquan and the others knew that Heavenly Master Yan Ziqi was coming, it was too late. At this time, Yan Ziqi had already led the immortals and demons of the four caves and had countless capable soldiers and generals under his command. If they launched another sneak attack, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
As Yan Ziqi's power grew, they had fewer and fewer opportunities to take action.
After all, Yan Ziqi is a Heavenly Master. Even if he is on the march, he can make sure that the Immortal Court army does not reveal any flaws, and even set traps one after another. If they come to attack, they will be walking into a trap!
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chai Raofeng summoned the other five armies and said to Song Xianjun, Shui Yinghui, Song Ming and others: "Yan Ziqi has been cautious all his life. With him in charge, we won't have any chance. In this case, we might as well go back to defend the imperial court."
So the six men withdrew their troops and rushed towards the imperial court.
On the other side, the Immortal Emperor Xiao Changsheng led his troops to attack the Northern Crown Great Wall, and once broke into the Great Wall and reached the Sixth Immortal Realm. The defenders of the Northern Crown Great Wall resisted, and the two sides fought a bloody battle.
The war had been going on for half a year, and there were still eighteen immortals, gods, and demons in the immortal court who had not been mobilized. Upon hearing the news, they all came to support.
The Emperor Changsheng was defeated and driven back to the other side of the Great Wall, but he carried his coffin into battle and vowed to fight to the death.
After fighting for half a month, Emperor Changsheng abandoned his coffin and fled. Behind him, the immortals, gods and demons from the eighteen caves and celestial beings climbed over the Great Wall, chasing him and also entered the Sixth Immortal Realm.
Emperor Changsheng led the Nanji Dongtian army to flee, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded on the way. They happened to meet the army of Yue Zhaoquan, Chai Raofeng and others. Yue Zhaoquan, Chai Raofeng, Lu Xianren and others rushed to kill and dispersed the enemy's vanguard troops, thus saving their lives.
Emperor Changsheng thanked them and said, "It's not that I was defeated, but the Queen Mother of Heaven ordered me to go as deep as possible into the Sixth Immortal Realm to attract more enemy troops and lead them to the Imperial Court."
When everyone saw that he was covered in wounds and his body was made of wood, almost cut in half by being chopped and burned, they knew that he was a proud man and did not expose him.
Hong Luo looked at the army of immortals, gods, and demons from the Eighteen Caves with a worried look on his face. He thought, "The Empress and Mr. Shui Jing have made a plan to lead all the immortals, gods, and demons to the Seventh Immortal Realm. The army of the Eighteen Caves is chasing after the Emperor Changsheng. I'm afraid that Heavenly Master Yan Ziqi will soon notice it. Yan Ziqi might be alerted..."
She was one of the few people who knew about the plan of the Emperor and Empress Yu Qingluo. No one else, not even the commanders of the various armies, was told about it.
Moreover, she had once been the second in command of the harem, second only to the Empress Dowager, and was no stranger to Yan Ziqi.
Hong Luo hesitated for a moment, gathered all the generals, and revealed the plan to Empress Yu Qingluo, saying: "Yan Ziqi is cautious by nature, and there is no guarantee that he will have any doubts. If the Eighteen Cave Heavens Army is sent back to the Sixth Immortal Realm by him, the Empress's plan will fail!"
Song Xianjun, Lang Yun, Song Ming, Shui Yinghui, Chai Raofeng and others all fell silent. Only Hong Luo continued, "There is only one way to go now. That is, we have to fight for our lives. Even if all 60,000 soldiers are buried in the starry sky, we must hold back the army of the Eighteen Cave Heavens!"
She paused and said, "Only in this way can the Empress' plan be fulfilled. Although I am willing to die, I cannot force you. Therefore, I ask for your opinion."
Everyone was silent.
Go to die.
Just two words, but they were extremely heavy. Especially for the six of them, they had to decide the fate of all the soldiers under their command, and let their soldiers die with them!
This is what makes them struggle the most.
"Song Ming, do you have a child?" Song Xianjun broke the silence and asked.
Song Ming clenched his fists, but smiled nonchalantly, "Yes. Although I am afraid of my mother-in-law, I married two wives, both of whom are pregnant, a boy and a girl."
Song Xianjun nodded gently and said to Hong Luo: "My Song family can stay."
Lang Yun smiled and said, "If godfather stays, I will stay too. My Lang family will have an heir."
Chai Raofeng said: "If the imperial court is destroyed, the next one will be the Emperor Chai family, I must stay."
Hong Luo's eyes fell on Shui Yinghui and asked, "General Shui hasn't married yet? Does the Shui family have any descendants?"
Shui Yinghui smiled and said, "I am the only one left. But I won't leave. I have a blood feud with Di Feng! Although I can't kill Di Feng, I can kill a few more accomplices!"
Hong Luo stood up and said, "Gentlemen, gather your soldiers. Those who are the only sons in the family and have elderly parents to support, return to the imperial court; those who have no children at home and have young children to raise, return to the imperial court. Those who are willing to stay will be worshipped in the Pantheon in the future!"
Everyone stood up, returned to their troops, and repeated her words.
Upon seeing this, Changsheng Emperor hurried to see Hong Luo and asked anxiously, "Empress Hong Luo, what is this for? Aren't we returning to the imperial court? Why are we fighting again?"
Hong Luo said calmly, "I am no longer the Empress of Di Jue. I have divorced Di Jue. Don't mention the so-called Empress again. Whether or not we can keep the army of the Eighteen Cave Heavens is related to our future success or failure. Therefore, my six armies are determined to stay and hold back the army of the Eighteen Cave Heavens, even at the cost of our flesh and blood."
The Emperor Changsheng cried out in disbelief: "You are crazy! You are all crazy! You want to stay, but I won't!"
Hong Luo said, "In the harem, the Queen is first and I am second. The Queen and I are like sisters. If I die here and you do not save me, the Queen will surely kill you."
The face of Emperor Changsheng was uncertain. Only the head of his body was his own, while the body was cultivated by the Queen Mother using the branches of the Witch Fairy Treasure Tree.
It can be said that his life and death is not in his own hands, but in the hands of the Queen Mother of Heaven!
The Queen Mother was extremely indulgent towards Hong Luo, and placed some feelings on her that she herself did not dare to express. If the Queen Mother knew that he did not save her, she would make sure that he was buried with Hong Luo!
"Emperor Changsheng, you must reorganize the troops immediately. We are going to attack Yan Ziqi's camp." Hong Luo said.
"Attack Yan Ziqi..."
The muscles on Emperor Changsheng's face twitched. These were the few muscles he could mobilize. When he thought about the upcoming battle with such a ruthless being like Yan Ziqi, his muscles couldn't help but tremble.
As one of the four great emperors, he is naturally not afraid of Yan Ziqi in a single fight, but he is far inferior to Yan Ziqi in deploying troops. In addition, their current military strength is far less than that of Yan Ziqi, and attacking Yan Ziqi's camp by force is undoubtedly a suicide mission!
At this time, Yan Ziqi led countless troops and encountered the army of Eighteen Cave Heavens. The two sides merged and each used the most powerful weapons in the army to suppress the luck of each army and let the soldiers set up camp on the spot.
Yan Ziqi summoned the commanders of the various armies and asked, "You are guarding the Immortal Palace and protecting the elders and the people. You have a heavy responsibility. Why are you here?"
The eighteen Heavenly Lords did not dare to neglect and told the story of Changsheng Emperor's sneak attack on the Immortal Court, saying, "We have been chasing Xiao Changsheng all the way here."
Yan Ziqi frowned: "Xiao Changsheng has always cherished his life, why is he so bold this time and actually attacked the Immortal Court? This is not right! He wants to lead you to the Sixth Immortal Realm! You should quickly return to your division and return to the Immortal Court. Don't stay for a moment!"
The eighteen Heavenly Kings looked at each other in bewilderment, but since Yan Ziqi was the Heavenly Master after all, they dared not disobey his orders.
The eighteen Heavenly Lords stood up and were about to convey Yan Ziqi's order to return to the army when suddenly someone shouted loudly, "Your Majesty's envoy! Your Majesty's envoy has arrived!"
Yan Ziqi hurriedly went to greet him with the eighteen Heavenly Lords, only to find that the messenger was actually Chu Shan Gu, one of the Four Assistants!
Yan Ziqi's face changed drastically, and he knew something was wrong. He quickly asked, "Why are you here, fellow Taoist?"
Chu Shangu was also in the eighth level of the Dao Realm, and he still had Dao injuries that had not healed. He looked ashamed and said, "Gou Chen was badly defeated. Your Majesty ordered me to come here. I must ask for reinforcements to take back Gou Chen!"
Yan Ziqi was greatly shocked. Although he had expected this, hearing the news in person still shook him and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Where is Wan Guchen?"
Yan Ziqi asked in a hoarse voice: "Is he okay?"
"Master Wan Tianshi personally cut off the retreat and died in the chaos."
Yan Ziqi fell silent, unable to hold back tears, but without making any sound. When his tears dried, he said, "If your majesty needs reinforcements, I have them here. The reinforcements from the Eighteen Cave Heavens, let them return to the Immortal Court."
Junior Assistant Chu Shan Gu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order to not only request the Heavenly Master's army, but also the reinforcements from the Eighteen Cave Heavens, to wipe out Gou Chen in one fell swoop and avenge our hatred!"
Upon hearing this, the eighteen Heavenly Lords said to Yan Ziqi, "Your Majesty's order must be followed. Heavenly Master, please forgive me!"
Yan Ziqi said decisively: "When a general is away from home, he has no right to obey the king's orders! All reinforcements from the Eighteen Cave Heavens must return to the Immortal Court without delay!"
The eighteen Heavenly Lords hesitated, and Yan Ziqi said, "If there is any anger from the Emperor, Ziqi will bear it, and it has nothing to do with you! If you do not agree, you will be replaced immediately and replaced with an obedient commander of the army!"
Junior Assistant Chu Shan Gu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Dao, this is His Majesty's idea..."
Yan Ziqi said indifferently: "If you continue to talk, Your Majesty can change a junior assistant."
Chu Shangu had no choice but to stop talking.
The eighteen Heavenly Kings had no choice but to return to their camps. Just as they were about to mobilize their troops to return to the Immortal Court, they suddenly heard shouts of killing, and saw sixty thousand elite soldiers rushing straight towards their camp of two to three hundred million immortals, gods, and demons, with great momentum!
Behind these 60,000 elite soldiers is the Nanji Dongtian army of Emperor Changsheng, which numbers more than 100,000.
However, this strength is like using a needle to poke a wall, the power disparity is huge!
Hong Luo held high the battle flag and charged forward. Although he knew he would die, he remained calm, with only the will to fight to the death.
Around her was a large army of women, all dressed in red. Their red clothes were as red as fire, making them extremely eye-catching in the army.
The soldiers were getting closer and closer to the enemy camp. At this moment, a thundercloud suddenly appeared in the starry sky. In the opposite camp, a thundercloud came out from nowhere, and a ray of lightning fell on the head of a soldier from the Immortal Court.
The Immortal Court soldier was knocked down immediately.
Hong Luo saw this and immediately remembered what happened to him. He shouted loudly, "Stop! Stop! Stop now—"
She was so excited that her whole body was trembling, tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her spirit and shouted: "Thunder Pond! It's Thunder Pond—"
Bursts of thunder were heard in the starry sky. That was the sound of thunder coming from the revived Thunder Pool.
