Chapter One Thousand and Nineteen: Following the Trend
Just when everyone shouted in unison and their morale was boosted, there was a person who did not show any excitement, but instead frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Naturally, Shi Mu also noticed this, and asked, "Patriarch Shu, what do you want to say?"
"President Shi, Tianting suddenly came to discuss peace this time, have you ever said why?" Shu Youjin asked after hearing the words.
As soon as this remark came out, the others also fell silent and turned their gazes to Shi Mu.
"The people from the Heavenly Court just said that they want me to go to the Nantianmen in three months, and that the emperor wants to negotiate peace with me in person. But for what purpose, he didn't say clearly. However, I can feel that there may be something wrong with the emperor. Please ask me." Shi Mu pondered for a moment before replying.
Naturally, Shi Mu knew that the content of the peace talks between Emperor Wei and him must be related to the Taoist plan, but he did not intend to explain it to everyone here. It was not intentional concealment, but the matter involved a lot and it was not appropriate Let everyone know.
"Since we won't make peace with the Heavenly Emperor, how dare we ask the leader, what should we do next?" Lu Kuizhong asked.
"I have already agreed to peace talks with Di Kuan." Shi Mu said.
"What?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. We don't know what the emperor wants now, but since he proposed it first, let's take it as our bargaining chip. Instead of refusing, we should follow the plan and see what the heavens are playing. Tricks." Shi Mu explained.
"It turns out that the leader of the alliance has planned for a long time, but I don't know, how is it a trick?" Lu Kuizhong asked.
"As a show of sincerity, Heavenly Court promises to stop invading the Tianhe Star Field before the peace talks, and promises that I can lead anyone into Heavenly Court at will during the peace talks. I want to take this opportunity to lead the army straight to Heavenly Court." Shi Mu said.
"Emperor Kuang won't be so confused, just let us enter the Heavenly Court like this?" Di Yan, the patriarch of the Dilong Clan, said hesitantly.
"That's natural, but since Emperor Kuang put down his words, I can bring people into the Heavenly Court at will, so there is no reason to stop me from bringing an army in." Shi Mu said.
"If the emperor does not allow the lord to bring in the army, what should we do?" Lu Kuizhong asked.
"If he doesn't want me to lead an army in, I will naturally not have peace talks with him." Shi Mu replied with a light smile.
"Since the emperor dared to say such big words, he must have been prepared. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to enter the heavenly court." The elder who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Yeah, when I followed General Baiyuan, I also heard him say that the location of the Heavenly Court is very strange. If you want to enter, you can only pass through the four heavenly gates, and these four heavenly gates are guarded by the Heavenly Court. The most important thing, if you want to break through, it must be difficult and dangerous." Chong Wu also said.
"What Chongwu said is right. The four heavenly gates of the Heavenly Court are indeed a natural moat. It is not easy to break through, but we have no choice if we want to enter the Heavenly Court. This time, Shi Mu led his army into the South Heavenly Gate through peace talks. , it is a rare opportunity for us to wait for." Li Sheng, who was sitting beside Shi Mu, also said at this moment.
"I've heard of the Four Gates of Heaven before, but I never know where they are?" Lu Kuizhong asked.
"Tianmen, as the name suggests, is the portal of the heavenly court, and it is the gateway for the communication between the heavenly court and many star fields in the lower world. Although it is located in the four directions of the heavenly court, there are many teleportation entrances distributed in the vast star field. Most of these teleportation entrances are very secret, and There are heavy soldiers guarding them all the year round. It is through these teleportation entrances that the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Court invade each star field." said Master Li Sheng.
"The Nantian Gate that Emperor Xuan invited me to, one of the teleportation entrances is on the Jiangdao star in our Tianhe Star Field. The teleportation entrance of the West Tianmen is located in the Lichen Sect in the Miyang Star Field. One of the East Tianmen The teleportation entrance is located on the Oolong star at the junction of the Black Demon Star Field and the Wutian Star Field. As for the teleportation entrance of the North Tianmen, it is on the Bollworm Star at the border between the You Chong Star Field and the Tianhe Star Field." Shi Mu Then he said.
"Jiang Island Star? Why does it sound familiar?" Lu Kuizhong asked with some doubts after hearing this.
"That's the largest subsidiary planet of the Wa Yao Clan." Zhao Zhuming said with a slight frown.
"Yes, that's right! Unexpectedly, the Nantian Gate of the Heavenly Court is there. No wonder the Wa Yao clan was beaten the worst back then, so that the clan members scattered in the Tianhe Star Region and have not been able to reunite until now." Lu Kuizhong beat his palm with one hand. , suddenly said.
"Heavenly Court invited us to the Nantian Gate. Could it be that a trap has been laid there, waiting to catch us all?" Di Yan said worriedly.
"What Patriarch Di said is true, I also have this concern. Therefore, we did not gather all the troops to go to Nantianmen. This time, the heavenly court will send heavy troops to Nantianmen. At that time, I will lead the army of the four clans to Nantianmen and Nantianmen. The Emperor's Peace Talks. The Great Elder will lead the army of the three tribes and the Chongwu Demon General to lead his demon soldiers, lurking in the teleportation point on the Bollus star, waiting for an opportunity to attack Beitianmen." Shi Mu said.
"At that time, I will also lead the army under the Qinglan Holy Land to capture the Lichen Sect in the Miyang Starfield and control the teleportation entrance there." Li Sheng continued.
"The teleportation entrance on Oolong Star, when Lord Shi goes to the South Heaven Gate, I will also lead the Black Demons and the Necromancer army to lurk there, wait for the opportunity, and attack the East Heaven Gate." Yan Luo added.
"Master Shi, in this way, will the troops be too scattered, which is not conducive to a full-scale war?" Di Yan asked.
"The strength of the heavenly court is superior to ours. If we attack directly, the chances of winning are not high. But if we take this opportunity of peace talks, divide the troops into several groups, and adopt a feint attack strategy according to the situation, it can instead spread the pressure, disturb their eyes and ears, and win with surprise troops ... On the day of the negotiations, if I successfully lead the army into the Nantianmen, the three armies can stay put for a while... If there is any doubt, I will send a message in time, and then the four armies will attack the heavens together and fight to the death." When Shi Mu said this, his eyes flickered, and his tone was decisive.
...
Heavenly Court, Hanli Palace.
This is a palace built on a white snow-capped mountain. The whole body is made of white cold jade, emitting crystal white light and shining brightly.
In a quiet pavilion in the depths of Hanli Palace, a girl in white clothes like snow is sitting cross-legged here, with her feet protruding from the hem of her skirt, without shoes, her complexion is as snowy as ever.
Her eyes were closed tightly, and a faint white mist was emitted from her body, forming a mist ball, making her appearance blurry, but her stunning beauty can still be seen from the outline.
Not Ximenxue, or who?
As his lips moved slightly, gusts of ice and snow gathered from the surroundings, merged into the mist around him, and flowed up and down, like a living thing.
In the distance outside the small pavilion, Jin Xiaochai stood flat-footed, quietly looking at Ximenxue, with a complex expression flashing across her eyes from time to time.
Time passed little by little, and after an unknown amount of time, Ximenxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes, with orchid fingerprints on both hands, a layer of crystal white light appeared on her body, and then spread towards the surroundings extremely quickly and go.
Where the white light passed, everything was frozen by a thick layer of ice crystals, and large white ice flowers appeared in the air, flying up and down with the wind.
The small pavilion on the mountain covered in silver, and the stunning beauty in the white ice flowers, this scene outlines a poetic and picturesque scene.
Ximen Xue muttered something, waved her jade hand, and typed out a series of formulas.
As if under his control, large pieces of ice flowers rolled and converged towards her with the urging of his magic arts. These ice flowers intertwined and merged up and down, and gradually condensed into a white ice flower field with a radius of seven to eight feet.
A gleam of joy appeared on Ximen Xue's face, she moved her hands together, and dispersed the magic formula in her hands, and the white domain slowly dissipated.
The sound of "pop" applause came from outside, Ximen Xue followed the sound and saw Jin Xiaochai was smiling and walking over, patting her hands.
"Xue'er, your strength has improved really fast. Not only have you reached the middle stage of the divine realm, but you have also comprehended the mysteries of the realm, which is really enviable." Jin Xiaochai said.
"Hehe, thanks to the Ice Soul Immortal Realm bestowed by Lord Di Kuang, I was able to comprehend the mystery of the domain in one fell swoop." Ximen Xue smiled sweetly.
"The Bingpo Immortal Realm is a legendary treasure handed down from the upper world. That emperor is willing to give it to you. It seems that he values you very much." Jin Xiaochai said, but there was not much smile on her face.
A smile appeared on Ximenxue's face, as if she was a little pleased to be valued by the emperor.
"Are you really planning to stay in the Heavenly Court and continue to be Emperor Kuang's subordinate? Are you going to ignore him at all?" Jin Xiaochai asked.
When Ximen Xue heard this, her pretty face was slightly cold, and two cold lights seemed to shoot out of her beautiful eyes.
Jin Xiaochai was happy and fearless, and looked at her calmly.
Ximenxue's eyes gradually softened, she looked away, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Since I made that choice at the beginning, I won't regret it."
Jin Xiaochai sighed upon hearing this, with a complicated expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Did something happen outside?" Ximen Xuemei asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"That's right, during the period of your retreat, the situation outside has changed... Today, Shi Mu has recovered the entire Tianhe star field, and has contacted many other star fields for help. Now he has become a party leader. The overlord, all the clans of the Tianhe Star Region have followed suit." Jin Xiaochai said.
Ximen Xuemei's eyes flashed a gleam, but she recovered immediately, and said, "Oh, so what?"
"Master Di Kuan seems to be quite scrupulous about him at the moment, and invited him for peace talks." Jin Xiaochai paused and continued.
"Peace talks?" Ximen Xue couldn't help being slightly taken aback when she heard these words, her eyebrows frowned slightly.
Although she doesn't know much about the deep enmity between Heavenly Court and the major star regions, she also knows a little bit. There should be no room for peace talks.
