Chapter 388 Confluence of Yan and Wei
The initial news was just such a simple sentence as the news of Cui Qing's death.
How he died, I don't know; who moved his hands, I don't know.
This news almost stopped Dayan's army.
Before further news comes, the situation is too uncertain, it is better to be cautious and wait and see.
And the follow-up news will arrive soon.
Cui Qing died at the hand of Chen Man, the Ghost Face God.
Xia Cang should have really left, and he is no longer on the Eastern Front.
Earlier, after the Qi State was killed with a carbine shot, Cui Qing, who was cautious in character, stopped chasing so closely, but led the Qi State army and fell far behind.
But as more and more temptations were made, and the information gathered by all parties became clearer and clearer, even Yan Guo knew that Xia Cang was no longer on the Eastern Front, so of course Cui Qing also knew.
He began to lead the army of Qi State again, closely forced the Wei army, and took action himself, carefully making several trials.
Then, he discovered that Xia Cang was really gone.
So, he became unscrupulous, chasing and killing Wei's army frantically.
The Wei army had already been broken into pieces and retreated westward. Inevitably there were teams that were overtaken and wiped out by Qi Guo, including two or three Nascent Soul cultivators, who were also killed.
Wei Jun's losses were very large, while Qi State was advancing triumphantly on the way to the west.
But just when Cui Qing was most complacent and shot himself, killing the long-established master, that is, Zhang Shichang, the mighty Marquis of the Great Wei who was disguised as Xia Cang, a sudden change occurred.
Two ghost-faced gods, Chen Man, and a monster that was said to have an inhuman appearance and looked like an abyssal demon suddenly appeared on the battlefield and attacked Cui Qing at the same time.
The power displayed by these three is all at the level of dharma.
Cui Qing was killed on the spot, and the Qi people didn't even get his body back, but was taken away by two Chen Man and the demon.
Three dharma phases? The level of this catastrophe has actually reached this point!
From this piece of information, we can know that the strength of the ghost-faced god Chen Man is increasing very fast!
For Chen Man at two levels of Dharma Aspects, one of them is his main body, and the other should be his Dharma Aspect clone.
But that's unbelievable.
He should have just been promoted to the level of Dharma appearance in recent years, and logically speaking, he should be at the level of Dharma appearance. At this level, the ability of the 'Virtual Spirit Spectrum' cannot support him to master a dharma-level avatar. If you practice the Void Spiritual Spectrum, you must at least obtain the third level of the Dharma Aspect before you can master the first Dharma Aspect clone.
The further you go on the road of cultivation, the higher the gap between each small level and the difficulty of cultivation. Twenty years may be enough time for a talented Qi-training monk to pass the nine-level checkpoint and break through to the foundation-building stage; but for a Nascent Soul monk, it would be good if he can raise a small level in twenty years.
And when it comes to the Dharma phase, the time required to upgrade the small level may be even longer.
According to the current meaning, Chen Man, who has just broken through to the Dharma Aspect for a few years, has actually raised his strength to the third level of Dharma Aspect in a short period of time?
Even Lu Qing would find this speed scary.
Is the imaginary spectrum so awesome? Is the inheritance of the Void Saint so powerful?
"No... This shouldn't be the benefit of the imaginary spectrum, or the pure ancient inheritance, it can't be so big..."
Thinking this way, Lu Qing, it's not that he has never taken the inheritance of the ancient times, and more than once, this level is too exaggerated.
Then he remembered the chaotic scene he saw in Zhaizhou through Mingheng at the very beginning.
Those demons, including Chen Man's Qiming avatar, seemed to be doing something like a living sacrifice.
This is very likely the most important factor for Chen Man to improve his strength so quickly. What he relied on was not the inheritance of the ancient times, nor the genealogy of imaginary spirits, but a gift from the abyss that was serious and honest.
The more you please the demons, the more you will be favored by the abyss, and at the same time, you will be more thoroughly degenerated.
As for the other, inhuman, completely monster-like thing that appeared, it should be the serious demon summoned from the abyss by Chen Man using a large number of living sacrifices.
Counting it down, almost two whole states fell into the hands of Chen Man. In these two states, the countless populations, even including a large number of monks, will become an important resource for Chen Man to please the abyss and open the passage to the abyss.
Through these resources, Lu Qing estimated that this guy really created a temporary abyss passage and summoned a big demon at the level of Dharma.
And Cui Qing's body, together with his Dharma image, fell into Chen Man's hands, which was even more terrible news.
With the body and soul of a Dharma cultivator...
Well, needless to say, there will be another Dharma-level existence in Chen Man's camp, and there is a high probability that it will be a big demon at the Dharma-level.
Calculated in this way, there are three opponents at the Dharma level that the human monks will face next, and Chen Man, among them, has a clone of Dharma, which can be regarded as the fourth Dharma in a sense.
The pressure is as high as the sky.
At this level, even Weiyun, who didn't really care about the chaos before and thought it was Wei's business, panicked.
According to the previous thinking, there is only one Chen Man who has just entered the level of Faxiang in Moluanli. Wei Guo has two great Dharma Prime Ministers, can he be stumped by this Chen Man?
But now it seems... Wei Guo may really be unable to bear it.
Moreover, seeing that there will be an even worse trend at the moment.
Xia Cang is not on the eastern front, and Cui Qing is dead, so the spread of the chaos to the east and south is unstoppable.
It's okay to go south, no matter whether it is the Wu Kingdom in the southeast or the Chu Kingdom in the southwest, they will not sit idly by. Of course, they can also obtain such important information on the battlefield of Qi and Wei, so they will not fail to realize the seriousness of the matter. In order to prevent the chaos from spreading to the country, they must also take action.
At the very least, Lu Qing had immediately sent envoys from Yan to communicate with Wu and Chu.
But to the east, after Cui Qing's death, he was completely out of action.
At the moment, the most worrying thing is that if the two demons that Chen Manhe expected to appear can not be dealt with as soon as possible, once the chaos spreads to the east and spreads to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then spreads to Qi State, The country of Qi could not resist.
If a great evil spirit is born in the land of two states, what about the four states, six states, or even one country?
Perhaps, at that level, it is not as simple as having a few more dharma levels of great evil spirits.
If it doesn't work out, it will really be a catastrophe.
...
In just three days, Dayan reached an agreement with the State of Wei: a temporary truce between the two sides.
The army of the Yan State will stop in the north of Xuzhou. If Xudu is under siege, the Yan army will rescue it according to the situation.
The reason for "depending on the situation" is mainly because we are worried that Wei Guo will break his promise. When the time comes, Yan Guo will fight with demons and demons to death, and Wei Guo will not allow Yan's army to withdraw to Xudu. It will be too uncomfortable.
After all, even if the two countries have reached a temporary armistice agreement, and plan to fight side by side in the future, it will be difficult to really help and trust each other.
In addition, the Yan State army will also organize a wave of high-level monks, led by Lu Qing and Wei Yun, to go to Zhaizhou, go deep, look for high-level demons and demons, and kill them.
Of course, the most important thing is to find Chen Man and kill him quickly.
Obtaining Cui Qing's corpse does not mean that a big demon at the Dharma level can be summoned immediately, it will take some time after all.
And this is also a golden opportunity.
After a while, who knows what will happen next?
These few months have been a nightmare for Wei Guo.
Of course, having said that, Dayan helped Wei Guo to fight, on the one hand, because of the reason that his lips and teeth were cold - although this lip and tooth used to fight crazily - on the other hand, they would also get a lot of benefits from Wei Guo.
Of course Dayan would not work in vain.
Lu Qing knew more about the truth, and wanted to eliminate the demon more urgently. But even he is definitely not the kind of person who sacrifices himself for others and provides free help. The benefits and rewards that should be obtained should not be missed at all.
The whole matter was negotiated with Wei Yun and Lu Qing by Wei Huang and Xia Cang.
Xia Cang was in the Kingdom of Wei, covering the sky with one hand, saying one thing, with the appearance of a super powerful minister. As for the two generations of Wei Huang, a golden elixir, the current incumbent is just a Nascent Soul, and cannot survive Xia Cang.
It stands to reason that even if the strength is far worse, an emperor's instinct must have objections to such a powerful minister. And as a person who has essentially held the military and political power of the Wei State for hundreds of years, I am afraid it will not be too good to face the emperor who is much younger and weaker than himself, but still sits on his head.
But that's not the case.
Wei's military and political system is very stable. The relationship between Emperor Wei and Xia Cang is that of a monarch and his ministers. When Xia Cang became famous and was in charge of the military and political power of the Wei State, the two generations of Wei emperors had a lot of trust in this general and obeyed his words. But it didn't feel like a puppet. As a courtier, Xia Cang always did a good job in terms of etiquette and posture, and gave Emperor Wei the respect he deserved.
And this kind of respect is not even just superficial. He will give reasonable suggestions to Emperor Wei, but he absolutely obeys Emperor Wei's will. Even if it is a very unreasonable request, he will execute it without hesitation after the persuasion fails.
When everyone first knew Xia Cang's status in the Great Wei Dynasty, they would think that he was a powerful minister; after knowing the real situation, they would be dumbfounded again.
Xia Cang is... a true example of a courtier.
During the negotiation process, Xia Cang was still arguing for the interests of Wei. Of course they knew that only Yan Guo could help them right now, and they also knew that Wei Guo would have to lick their wounds for many years after this war.
But despite this, he still showed his tough attitude.
After all, if the Kingdom of Wei is really doomed, the chaos will be completely irresistible, and in the end, the Kingdom of Yan will not be able to escape.
The tug-of-war between the two sides was intense, and the talks almost collapsed in the middle.
But these, interactive gestures have a heavy meaning. In fact, the speed at which the two parties reached a cooperation agreement was also very fast, only three days.
The State of Wei will cede the entire Hezhou and the entire Yingzhou to the State of Yan.
This is vomiting blood, especially Yingzhou, which is a very wealthy state. Among the seven states owned by Yan State, Wuzhou may be slightly better than Yingzhou. And Hezhou is only slightly worse than Jizhou.
Wei State has a total of ten states. Zhaizhou is gone. Half of Xuzhou and most of Huaizhou have been completely destroyed by the demons. This is true in terms of population and production capacity. I don’t know how long it will take to recover. They will be ceded to the two states of Yan State... Almost half of the territory is gone.
But they paid more than that, they also had to send troops for the entire Yan army and pay the 'military expenses'.
This military expenditure is 30 million spirit stones.
Very expensive.
Wei Guo is of course rich, but they also raised a large number of troops and provided a large number of monks. Especially in the war of annihilating the country that was launched against the Qi State this time, of course, it was almost exhausted; in the north, a large number of troops were also prepared to guard against the invasion of the Yan State, and this was also in the south of the Yan State. was destroyed……
After two states were ceded and two states were destroyed, how Wei would pay the money after the war was still a huge problem.
But that's for after the war.
After the signing of the agreement, there was no more beeping between the two countries. Weiyun and Lu Qing led an elite group of monks with only a few hundred people, crossed Xudu and entered Zhaizhou.
Xia Cang had already informed them of their location in advance - now, they are in Huhan County, which is where the chaos first occurred.
Huhan County has completely become a dead city, motionless. But when many monks of the Wei Kingdom entered the county, the whole city immediately became manic, and many demons rushed out, attacking the monks of the Wei Kingdom without fear of death.
Of course, the average strength of these enchanters is very low, and the main force has obviously been taken away. Therefore, they did not pose any threat to the elite monk team led by two dharma figures, and were quickly killed.
Then, Xia Cang and Zheng Yu led people to Ghost Face God Valley.
It stands to reason that this is Chen Man's home field, and the imaginary aura covering here has a fatal effect on normal grooming. Those who can truly remain unaffected for a period of time only come with two dharma signs.
The two entered hand in hand, their attitudes were rather decisive.
But they did not find any trace of Chen Man inside.
And at this time, they received the news that Chen Man had appeared on the eastern battlefield and killed Cui Qing.
Later, after realizing that the situation was completely beyond what Wei Guo could solve independently, he quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Yan Guo.
After reaching an agreement, Xia Cang and Zheng Yu did not choose to advance rashly, but stayed in Huhan County, waiting to join the Yan people.
After the two sides merged into a team, their attitude towards each other was certainly not too close. But the enemy is in the front, it's not intimate, so forget it. Although fighting side by side, they don't need much cooperation with each other, just divide them into two parts.
Although their team is not large in number, they are basically senior monks, with a lot of golden cores, and Nascent Souls have double digits.
No matter how exaggerated the chaos is, it can't keep them.
Of course, advance is the law that can win on the battlefield.
