Chapter 1528 Rumor

Snowflakes are flying and falling in the Blue Search Secret Realm all the time. The snowfall can be big or small, but no matter when it is, it never stops.

But at this time, in the west of Zhengyang City, on the tragic battlefield between the Gumu Kingdom and the Cangwu Kingdom, the snowflakes seemed to have finally stopped.

Of course the snow did not stop.

It was because of a figure like a shining star falling from the sky in the huge world with a radius of more than ten miles.

Because that meteor unstoppably penetrated the entire mighty Cangwu army formation, pierced through its iron barrel-like terrifying battle formation, and killed all the opponent's core commanding generals.

In such an incomparable battle, the mighty battle is overwhelming, and the terrifying aura shines like the sun in the sky. The snowflakes in the entire space are completely torn apart by the aura in the extremely high sky, or swept away. to the distance.

It seemed that the entire sky was suppressed under this, trembling, not daring to let snowflakes fall again.

Under the good weather without snowflakes falling, the army of the old curtain country led by Xie Chongguang was also as imposing as a rainbow. The Cangwu army formation that was defeated by Ye Tian alone slapped it.

In order to cooperate with the skinny old man to condense the powerful Cangwu divine arrow, almost all the soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom had exhausted their strength and were injured by Ye Tian.

In such a situation where the Cangwu Kingdom has been weakened to the extreme, they still persisted for more than an hour. It was finally completely defeated by the army of the old shogunate country and ushered in failure.

Luo Ying and Luo Rong, who were on the city wall, confirmed that the situation of the battle had turned and the army of the Cangwu Kingdom had no hope of turning defeat into victory. They only left a very small number of troops on the city wall, leading the soldiers and the Feiyan Battalion The elite of the army went out of the city together to besiege and clean up the remnants of the Cangwu Kingdom.

After another hour or so, the field outside the city gradually calmed down.

Surrounded by the soldiers of the Gumu Kingdom, the remaining soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom who gave up their resistance had their auras and internal meridians sealed, and were escorted back to Zhengyang City in batches.

In this battle, when all the magic crossbows were broken and unable to be used, and they were on the verge of extinction, the Shogunate turned defeat into victory.

The 20,000 elite soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom gathered outside the west of Zhengyang City were completely annihilated, and almost all the commanding generals were killed in battle.

Among the 20,000,000,000 elite soldiers, tens of thousands died and thousands were injured in the final battle to clear the land.

The most important thing is that this is the first time since the two countries went to war, the Gumu Kingdom blocked or even defeated Cangwu Kingdom's army.

When the news came back to Zhengyang City, the whole Zhengyang City was almost boiling.

When the battle ended on the west side of the city, the battle in the other three directions was not over yet. The two sides had been entangled for more than half a day and were still deadlocked.

The victory on the west side of the city is definitely the greatest spiritual support for the soldiers of the Old Mu Kingdom in the other directions, and the morale of the entire Gu Mu Kingdom has improved by more than one level.

Of course, this news is also a huge blow to the Cangwu Kingdom, which has been making great strides since the start of the war, and has not encountered any decent obstacles. The two sides have been going up and down, and the Gumu Kingdom, which has been relying on the city wall to be passive and beaten, is struggling to defend the city. It seems that some places have been vaguely found.

But the overall situation remains grim.

Of course, as the results of this battle quickly spread throughout the battlefields of both sides, Ye Tian's name has already attracted the attention of the entire Zhengyang City and Cangwu Kingdom's army.

In the mouths of the common people and ordinary soldiers of the Gumu Kingdom, Ye Tian is an exiled immortal who descended from the sky, and was photographed by God to save them from the Gumu Kingdom.

Especially some soldiers who witnessed Ye Tian's radiant attack in the desperate situation and defeated the entire Cangwu National Army in the palm of their hands, even worshiped Ye Tian.

A huge military medical hall near the west gate.

The sergeants who were injured on the battlefield were all transported here for treatment.

From time to time, the painful screams of wounded sergeants rang out, which made people's teeth ache.

In one corner, a sergeant who had been slashed by a flying sword with terrifying wounds was being treated by a woman who mastered medical techniques.

The woman focused on using the gentle aura as an aid, applying and melting the healing medicine on the hideous wound.

"ah!"

This sergeant looked quite young, his cultivation was just at the foundation establishment stage, his head was sweating profusely from the pain, and his face was grim.

"Shut up!"

The woman said coldly.

"I can't help it..." the sergeant cried out in pain.

"Then who is Ye Tian? Why do you keep listening to everyone talking about it?" The woman rolled her eyes, kept her hands on her hands, and asked, trying to distract this person's attention.

The woman just asked casually out of curiosity, never expecting that upon hearing this name, the young sergeant's eyes lit up, and the pain contained in it was instantly dispelled a lot!

"Ye Tian, ​​he saved Zhengyang City and Gumu Kingdom!" The sergeant trembled because of the painful words, but his expression was full of excitement.

"I saw with my own eyes that he showed his might. With a few punches and a single finger, he completely defeated the army of Cangwu Kingdom!"

"But why has there never been such a strong man before? Isn't General Xie the strongest person in our army?" the woman asked curiously.

"General Xie said later that Ye Tiannai was sent by God to help me keep the kingdom alive." The young sergeant said with admiring eyes.

...

After an hour.

In a house a few streets away from the Military Medical Hall.

After treating the last young sergeant's woman, she returned to her home.

"Mei'er, you have worked hard." A man in a Taoist robe was about to go out. He was wearing a white Taoist robe with a Taoist sword on his waist.

"Where are you going?" the woman asked.

"Make an appointment with a few fellow Taoists to discuss cultivation and prepare for the foundation building in the future." The man said seriously.

The man's name is Xu Hao, and his own cultivation has been stuck at the ninth level of Qi training, unable to break through. Therefore, the lowest cultivation level of the Mukuo's army is the early stage of foundation establishment, and the army of Cangwu Kingdom invaded, so he could not join the army and go out to kill the enemy. It has always been his biggest regret.

The woman nodded slightly, and after the two said a few words of affection, the man was ready to set off.

"Brother Xu, do you know that there is a very powerful man named Ye Tian?" After the woman paused for a while, something suddenly sounded and stopped the man and asked.

"I don't know," Xu Hao thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How strong can it be? Although my old Mukuo Kingdom is now thin and facing disaster, there are still a few truly powerful monks, such as a few Void Returners in the army. The great general in the realm, several elders in the void-returning realm, and the most powerful His Majesty, he is in the asking stage!"

"Didn't you hear about the battle at the West City Gate today?" Mei'er widened her eyes and said seriously:

"Then Ye Tian defeated Cangwu Kingdom's powerful army of tens of thousands of people with one punch and another finger!"

"General Xie Chongguang personally said that he was sent by the gods to save my old kingdom!"

Xu Hao's eyes widened. Mei Er just said a few simple words. When he thought of the content, his scalp felt numb, goose bumps all over his body, and the blood that had been suppressed in his heart completely boiled up. Burning.

"I have been concentrating on practicing at home today, and I don't know when it happened outside!"

"Is it true at this time?"

"Tell me about it in detail!" Xu Hao hurried back, looking at Mei'er eagerly and excitedly.

...

After an hour.

In a room with a rather elegant environment, more than ten monks are gathering in it.

These people include men and women, old and young, but they all have one thing in common: they have not built a foundation.

Except for their cultivation, they, like Xu Hao, were determined to go to battle to kill the enemy, but they had to give up due to the limitation of their own cultivation.

And they are also a group of people who are most concerned about the situation on the battlefield. In their free time, they usually gather together to discuss with each other, study the way of cultivation, and concentrate on building a foundation.

Because of the bleak performance of the Gumaku Kingdom in the war and the serious situation that the country has been threatened now, although everyone is holding back their energy, they can't help being very depressed.

However, this depressed mood that has lasted for a long time has been swept away today.

The news that Mukuro's army defeated Cangwu's army under the west gate of Zhengyang City has spread rapidly, and everyone is full of eagerness and excitement to discuss this battle.

But at this time, the rest of the people were very quiet, watching Xu Hao on the stage while talking seriously.

"Then Ye Tian killed tens of thousands of people in Cangwu Kingdom with one finger!"

"General Xie Chongguang personally said that he is the god of the Gumu Kingdom!"

Everyone only knew the news and battle reports of the victory, but they didn't know much about these details.

And Xu Hao learned many details through Meier, and Meier learned many details through the young sergeant who had personally experienced the battlefield.

Although there are some exaggerated deviations in the word of mouth, but the overall situation is roughly the same, and the people present on May Day were not excited when they heard it.

After these people listened to Xu Hao's narration, they quickly passed it on to more people through many channels.

...

The location of Zhengyang City towards the center of the north is a stretch of huge and magnificent golden buildings. The locations of these buildings are obviously higher than the surroundings, and they are also extremely tall, and they are brightly colored, so they can be seen from many places in Zhengyang City from a distance.

Here is where the imperial city is.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Mu Kingdom lived here.

The current emperor, named Xia Zhan, is the most powerful man in the Gumu Kingdom.

In fact, this person's talent is not the best, his cultivation comes from the Xia clan passed down from generation to generation in the old Mu Kingdom.

When every old emperor dies, his cultivation is instantly transferred to the crown prince, which is also the most important inheritance of the succession of imperial power in each generation of the old shogunate.

When Xia Zhan was the crown prince, his own cultivation was only Yuanying. When his previous emperor died, he was instantly promoted to the late stage of Wendao.

The price for this is that since he has been in power for decades, his cultivation base has not made the slightest progress.

Of course, this kind of cultivation is completely enough, and even he has almost no chance to make a move.

And when the Cangwu Kingdom provoked a war and invaded on a large scale, in front of thousands of troops, the effect of a questioning period was actually not so decisive.

On the contrary, if he died in the battle, the loss would be too great.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the war, Xia Zhan stayed in the command center all the time, and there was no good way to solve the unfavorable situation of successive defeats.

Just now, the rumors outside finally reached the palace and Xia Zhan's ears.

"He is the God of the Old Curtain Kingdom, so what am I?"

Xia Zhan couldn't help asking such a question.

He has the battle report submitted by Xie Chongguang at the first time in his hand, which is also the most official and correct information. So he knew what actually happened, and Xie Chongguang also explained Ye Tian's identity in the battle report.

Xie Chongguang believes that although Ye Tian has demonstrated his ability, it is still unclear whether this is all about him, and he must maintain a cautious attitude.

And this kind of Ye Tian, ​​there is no way to force anything, so Mu Guo can only try his best to make friends.

To be honest, Xia Zhan's heart is very complicated.

This Ye Tian who seems to have really fallen from the sky, if his strength is not enough, it will not help the matter, it is of no great use.

But if the strength is enough, for example, it can influence the outcome of a battle with one's own power like now, which is a good thing for the old curtain country.

But what about him, the emperor?

If there is such a person, then such a person should be the emperor, if not, it should be someone who the emperor can control.

Otherwise, I would rather not have such a person.

And now the rumors outside have confirmed Xia Zhan's original worry.

Although the rumors contain a lot of exaggeration, they can explain some problems.

In the rumors, Ye Tian has become a god, and in people's hearts, a god is an existence above the imperial power.

In fact, from this rumor, it can also be seen that there is a secret dissatisfaction with the royal family, especially the emperor Xia Zhan, among the people of the old curtain country.

The gap between the two has been reflected.

So now Xia Zhan feels very uncomfortable, even a little angry.

Complaints about Ye Tian who suddenly appeared.

He even complained about Xie Chongguang, complaining that he couldn't keep a west gate, and he still needed help from outsiders.

But now he has one more thing to deal with.

"Teacher of the country!" Xia Zhan ordered the guards.

After about a quarter of an hour, a tall, white-haired old man in a black and white Taoist robe walked into Xia Zhan's study.

This person's name is Hua Bo'an, and he is the head of the Old Mu Kingdom Elders' House. However, in addition to his status as an elder, he also has another identity as the Gu Mu Kingdom National Teacher. It is second only to Xia Zhan.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Hua Bo'an saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, National Teacher, please sit down." Xia Zhan pointed to the nearest seat next to him.

"Does the national teacher know what I mean by inviting you this time?" Xia Zhan asked.

"But because of the battle at the West City Gate?" Hua Bo'an said with a smile: "Your Majesty has commanded well, and our army has defeated the army of the Cangwu Kingdom under the West City Gate. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"There is also the hard work of the national teacher," Xia Zhan said with a smile on his face: "But this time it is not because of this."

Hua Bo'an showed a slightly puzzled expression.

"Still on the west city wall, Xie Chongguang reported that this batch of god machine crossbows were all made of such materials. During the war, all of them were damaged, and even caused a lot of casualties to our soldiers! "

"I have already sent someone to confirm this matter, what Xie Chongguang said is true!"

"Our army's magic crossbow is made by the National Teacher leading the entire Presbyterian Court. I hope the National Teacher can give me an explanation on this matter."

Hearing this, Hua Bo'an immediately showed a look of sincerity and fear.

"If it is true, then it is the negligence of our Elder's House, and please punish me, Your Majesty!"

But Hua Bo'an's words said so, and he also showed a corresponding expression, but in fact, it can be seen that he didn't have such meaning in his heart at all.

"Since the war has been won, there is no point in punishing them, not to mention only the death of some soldiers. To me, it is far from being compared with the national teacher."

"What I want to know is, where did the Qingling jade that was originally used in the magic machine crossbow go when it was replaced with diamond jade?" Xia Zhan stared at Hua Bo'an closely, and asked faintly road.

"Report to Your Majesty...those Qing Lingyu, actually..." Hua Bo'an hesitated a bit.

"What's going on, tell me!" Xia Zhan said coldly with his eyes fixed.

"It's the Taiqing Lingtai that I handed over to Your Majesty three days ago." Hua Bo'an said, "This Taiqing Lingtai is very beneficial to monks in the Daoist period. When the batch of Qingling stones were brought back, we I took a suitable part and refined it into the Taiqing Lingtai."

Xia Zhan's expression stiffened for a moment, but he recovered immediately.

"So that's the case," Xia Zhan nodded lightly, and said, "Then you can't use the clear spirit stone that was originally used to refine the magic crossbow!"

"In fact, I also know about this matter. Elder Gu Zongyuan and I made the decision together. We speculated that the battle in the direction of the west gate should not be serious, so we just took the Qingling stone used in the magic crossbow in the direction of the west gate. .” Hua Baian said.

"And even if diamonds are used to make the core talisman array, as long as it is properly preserved, such a situation will not happen. It's just that Xie Chongguang and his generals insisted on not listening to Elder Gu Zongyuan's dissuasion, and lacked proper maintenance of the divine machine crossbow. that happened.”

"Well... the national teacher is indeed right!" Xia Zhan pondered for a moment.

He has been persuaded by Hua Bo'an.

In fact, Xia Zhan is aware of the faint contradiction between the group of people represented by Xie Chongguang and the group of people represented by Gu Zongyuan and now Hua Bo'an in the old Muguo.

Although Xia Zhan has not revealed it on the surface, but in his heart he wants to be on Hua Bo'an's side.

Because Xia Zhan believes that Hua Boan and the others have always respected and pledged their allegiance to themselves.

This can be seen from many places, including the matter of the Taiqing Lingtai this time. Indeed, according to Hua Bo'an's vision, it is possible to take care of both sides, but because of Xie Chongguang's failure, the final result was deviated.

As for Xie Chongguang and others, their preference was for the Gumu Kingdom. This made Xia Zhan feel a little angry in his heart. He Xia Zhan is the old curtain country! These people appear to be faithful, but in reality they are not.

After the outbreak of the war, the Gumu country retreated steadily, and now only the capital Zhengyang City and a small part of the land in the north are left.

The responsibility for the crimes is naturally to be borne by those ignorant generals represented by Xie Chongguang.

In short, to put it simply, people like Hua Bo'an listen to Xia Zhan more.

That's why Xia Zhan made such a choice.

"I have always been clear about the loyalty of the national teacher and others." Xia Zhan said after a moment of pondering.

"As for Xie Chongguang, the ineffective maintenance of the divine machine crossbows caused this batch of divine machine crossbows to be unable to be used normally, and even caused extremely bad effects during the war. Xie Chongguang bears the main responsibility."

"However, the battle to the west of Zhengyang City was won in the end, which is considered a great achievement."

"In this way, the merits and demerits will be offset."

"That's it over there!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hua Bo'an saluted respectfully.

...

After meeting Xia Zhan, Hua Bo'an walked out of the imperial city.

There is an extremely terrifying formation in the imperial city, except for the emperor himself, no one else can fly in it or use movement spells.

Walking out of the majestic gate of the imperial city, Hua Boan's figure instantly disappeared in place.

After a while, he came to a tall building.

Apart from the buildings in the imperial city, this building is the tallest building in Zhengyang City. It is not small in size, more like a tall tower that gradually shrinks from bottom to top.

Hua Bo'an's figure appeared at the top of the tower. There is a huge terrace here. Standing on the terrace, one can see almost half of Zhengyang City's scenery.

When Hua Boan came, there was already a figure on the terrace.

It was Gu Zongyuan.

"Meet the national teacher!" Gu Zongyuan saluted.

"Elder Gu has been waiting for a long time! Don't worry, His Majesty will no longer pursue the issue of clearing the spirit stone." Hua Bo'an returned a salute and said.

"National teacher, of course I can rest assured. Only one-tenth of the Qing Lingshi deducted from the divine machine crossbow was used to refine the Taiqing Lingtai, and all the other national teachers will share half of it with me. Gu will definitely never forget this matter." Gu Zongyuan said, but then there was a gloomy look in his eyes, and he asked, "I want to ask about Xie Chongguang?"

"At this time, the siege of Zhengyang City is still at a critical moment. Xie Chongguang doesn't move. After a while, there will be no more problems. Your idea can be easily realized!" Hua Bo'an said with a smile.

"It's time for the national teacher!" Gu Zongyuan was delighted, and saluted Hua Bo'an again.

"It's all about helping each other!"

...

...

At this moment, Ye Tian was still meditating silently in the room that Luo Ying had arranged in Feiyan Camp.

After breaking through the Cangwu army during the day, Ye Tian disappeared on the battlefield.

Came back here after that.

Later, Xie Chongguang and Luo Ying came to visit together.

It's just that they only stayed for a short time, and the order from above was passed down.

The enemy army in the west of the city had been completely defeated, so Xie Chongguang was asked to leave a small number of troops at the west gate, and take most of the troops to help the defenders in other directions.
