Chapter 169 Blackmail
In the Chunyang Palace camp, Lin Xiao and Wang Dao have been restricted from traveling, and their entry and exit are monitored. Although Wang Dao has sent a message to the Tianyun Prefecture army, asking them to stay where they are, they are still anxious and unaware of the situation outside.
how.
If the situation is really as analyzed by Night Owl, then the assassination god's conspiracy will cast a shadow over the already complicated situation, making it even more confusing.
More than a day later, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered from the system that a senior member of Night Owl was killed in the battle. Lin Xiao quickly checked and found that it was Wen Xin. The second batch of Night Owl members he personally trained back then also successfully broke into Sihai Company.
Internally, he became a middle- and senior-level manager of Sihai Company, and broke through Zifu ten years ago.
"Headmaster Lin, you look very bad, what's wrong?"
"My sect's spy who broke into the Sihai Trading Company was killed. The sect sent me a message using a spiritual jade book."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, I have already sent a message back and asked the Tiansheng Sect to destroy the Sihai Trading Company's branch in Gongming City."
Lin Xiao's eyes showed a stern look. In so many years, Tiansheng Sect lost its first Zifu monk, which made Lin Xiao extremely distressed. Every Zifu monk in Tiansheng Sect was hard-earned, and the death of one of them is a big deal.
loss.
"Don't worry, Master Lin. I have sent a message to Qi Sheng. Danyang Sect has once again gathered people and formed an army of two thousand. At the same time, Tianhai Sect has also asked them to prepare. They will be able to raise an army of ten thousand within ten days. It will definitely be possible."
Block the tide of beasts and prevent Tianyun Prefecture from suffering disasters."
"The key point is that the fifteen thousand people in Jingzhou are unstable in the rear, unstable in military morale, and less than half of their combat strength. They are extremely dangerous and should leave early."
"It all depends on Ancestor Lu Yan. If he doesn't say anything, who dares to take away the army?"
"Yes, it depends on ancestor Lu Yan."
Lin Xiao nodded. Their strength was still too low to really decide the overall situation, so they could only passively take the beating and wait for the Chunyang Palace's orders.
Another day later, Lu Yan fled back from the wilderness in a hurry, but did not return to the Lu camp. Instead, he went to Chen Qingyang first and told him about the assassination of the god. Chen Qingyang suddenly became extremely frightened.
"Has the fourth-level thunder beast in Purple Thunder Mountain really been killed? Fellow Daoist Lu, are you sure?"
"You can't be wrong. Nine times out of ten, they were all killed. The Thorn God sent out a spiritual light, a Dao Gang, more than twenty Zi Mansion, and hundreds of Condensing Veins. It was easy to break through the Purple Thunder Mountain."
"It's over, it's over, the Chen country is over. Seventy years ago, a rogue cultivator killed a thunder beast, which caused our Chen country to suffer an unparalleled disaster. If the sixth-order demon king comes again, how can we resist it?"
Chen Qingyang was filled with despair. When the sixth-order demon king came to attack, the ancestors of the seven surrounding countries joined hands to fight against the enemy, and they were able to block the sixth-order demon king. But now that the war between the four countries is about to begin, how can there be any concerted efforts?
"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't be discouraged. The top priority now is to stop the war between the four countries, and then go to Song or Qi to ask for help. As long as Senior Shenxu is willing to come to support, there is still hope."
Lu Yan quickly said, Song State is a medium-sized country closest to the Four Kingdoms, and there are also ancestors of Shenxu sitting in charge. As long as they are willing to pay a certain price, for the sake of being human beings, they will most likely be willing to rescue them.
The key point is to get the Celestial Eclipse Nation to withdraw its troops so that the two countries can concentrate their efforts on resisting the beast tide.
"Yes, yes, we must have Ancestor Yun withdraw his troops, otherwise we will fight with him. Chen Qing Valley is going to be over anyway, and we must not let him take advantage of it in vain. Let's go, let's talk to Ancestor Yun."
Chen Qingyang quickly calmed down, and then left the camp with Lu Yan and quickly flew towards the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom camp. Soon, Yun Qingfeng spotted the two of them and flew out as well. His eleventh level of aura was better than the two.
Everyone has a high level of cultivation. Although they cannot win in a two-on-one situation, nothing will happen to them, so they are not afraid of them at all.
"Two ancestors, what are you doing in our Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom late at night? Do you want to start a war?"
"Ancestor Yun, things have changed. I'm afraid our three countries won't be able to have a war, lest the thieves succeed, thousands of miles away..."
Lu Yanxun explained the cause and effect of the matter. When Yun Qingfeng heard this, his heart trembled. The assassins had done more than just one or two things in Nanzhou. This time they were really plotting against the Four Kingdoms.
"Humph, how do I know whether what you say is true or false?"
"Old Ancestor Yun, how dare I lie about such a thing. The sixth-order demon king is attacking. This is a major event for the entire human race of the four countries. It took the human race thousands of years to occupy the territory of these four countries. Once it fails, the thousand years of hard work will be in vain.
"Liu, Patriarch Yun, you can't bear this responsibility."
"Huh, don't scare me. Even if the sixth-level demon king is a beast, that's still the business of your three kingdoms, Chen, Lu, and Cang. If you don't die, what are you doing to our Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom?"
"Huh, Ancestor Yun, don't force me. The worst is, the gate of Chenqing Valley will be gone. I will give way to the way. When the time comes, millions of monsters and monsters will pour into your Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom. Let's see how your Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom resists."
"Thousand-year-old inheritance, why don't you give it up if you say you don't want it?"
"Chen State is surrounded by enemies from both sides, and both sides are dead. It is better to escape from death. Chen and Lu can work together to maintain 30 to 50% of their strength. However, it is your Heavenly Eclipse State. On the left and right are either our two countries or the Cang State. Who wants to
I’ll help you, and you’ll just wait to die when the time comes.”
"This is a good idea, Fellow Daoist Chen. I, the Lu State, welcome you to come at any time. We will just wait and see the good show. When the beast tide subsides, we may be able to gain some territory for free."
"Hmph, you can do it as the first grader, and I can't do it as the fifteenth grader. The worst I can do is lead a tide of beasts to the State of Lu, and I will drag you with me until I die."
"Haha, Ancestor Yun, we are all hundreds of years old, why bother here to vent our anger? No one doesn't want to live. Your lifespan is running out, but Yun Shaoyang is still young. Your original intention was to
Kill one of us, then occupy a piece of territory, and let Yun Shaoyang take over. But don’t forget, Yun Shaoyang is only at the first level of spiritual light, I am already at the eighth level of spiritual light, and Daoyou Chen is at the ninth level of spiritual light. Once you die, Yun Shaoyang will take over.
Shaoyang will not be our opponent."
"If you want the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom to withdraw its troops, you can withdraw the border between your two countries by two thousand miles and transfer it to the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything."
Yun Qingfeng said lightly. At this time, he also hated the Thorn God very much. If they hadn't made trouble, his plan would have succeeded. But now that the beast tide is coming, he really can't carry out his previous plan.
"Two thousand miles, you have such a big appetite, it won't work if the defense line reaches the entrance of my Chunyang Palace."
"If we retreat two thousand miles, our Chenqing Valley is less than five hundred miles away from the border. Patriarch Yun, do you think it is appropriate?"
"You can decide for yourself whether it's suitable or not. You can talk to me after you think about it."
Yun Qingfeng sneered, then turned and left. The Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom had been forced so miserably in the past few years, how could it not find some ground? Since the beast tide is coming, it would be a good time to extort some benefits. I must wait until the beacon fire reaches the border.
, they will naturally agree.
Lu Yan and Chen Qingyang looked gloomy and felt a little overwhelmed. It was a good thing that Yun Qingfeng agreed to withdraw, but his request was also difficult to accept.
The territories of each country were acquired through hard work by our ancestors, especially Nanzhou, which became more mature as we moved toward Beiling Mountain. The two thousand miles in the north were worth more than the four thousand miles in the south. It was really hard to cede them away like this.
I am convinced, but the sect has difficulty explaining it.
The two of them frowned, but two days later, Chen Guo's war raged across the country, and urgent reports reached Chen Qingyang one after another. The sixth-level demon king had gathered a million troops and was moving at a rate of two thousand miles a day.
If we advance quickly, we can reach the hinterland of Chen State in at most three days. At this time, the entire Chen State is already in chaos.
And it’s not just Chen Guo’s family that is threatened by the beast tide. A million-strong army spreads out for thousands of miles. There are enough intelligent monsters on the sixth-order demon king’s side. Chen Guo is only the main attack direction. Cang Country and even Cang Country
Countries further away are also threatened by partial divisions of the demon king's army. Likewise, the Lu State is the same. Once the beast tide army enters the hinterland of Chen State, there will definitely be a fifth-level demon king leading a partial division.
Beacons were lit in all countries, and the overlord sects of each country sent letters to curse Chen Lucang and the Four Kingdoms. It was the dispute between the four countries that allowed the Thorn God to take advantage of the loophole, causing the current crisis. All the overlord sects are urging the four countries as soon as possible.
Resolve disputes and work together to fight the beast tide, or let them bear the consequences.
The strong pressure made Chen Qingyang breathless. Chen State was the main attack direction of the sixth-order demon king and must have suffered the heaviest losses. However, more than half of the country's power was concentrated on the border. The major sects and families in Chen State were panicked and their morale was low.
Nothing, everything is asking Chen Qingyang to make a choice.
Under pressure, Chen Qingyang had already succumbed to Yun Qingfeng's request, but Lu Yan disagreed. Lu Guo could not lose profits for no reason, and Chunyang Palace would not be able to explain to the country.
Two more days later, millions of troops had entered the buffer zone between the human kingdom and the wilderness. The situation became increasingly serious. Chen Qingyang talked to Yun Qingfeng several times, but Yun Qingfeng still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
In this anxious situation, the Cang Kingdom was the first to make concessions, ceding five hundred miles of territory in exchange for the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom's withdrawal of troops, and announced to the world. Then the Cang Kingdom's 50,000-strong army immediately turned around and headed to the southern front to fight against the beast tide.
With the Cang Kingdom at the level, Yun Qingfeng and the other three finally discussed again. The Chen Kingdom ceded two thousand miles of territory, and the Lu Kingdom ceded two hundred miles of territory, in exchange for the conditions for the Tian Eclipse Kingdom to stop its troops. After the announcement was made to the world, the armies of the two countries quickly turned around and headed south.
, are also preparing to resist the beast tide. The Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom's army is immobile, but they dare not attack easily. Attacking the two countries at this time is tantamount to betraying the human race. By then, all the major countries in Southern Continent will not be able to tolerate the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom.
They were just taking precautions. If Chen couldn't resist it, then these hundreds of thousands of troops would have to defend the territory of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom.
The tens of thousands of troops at the border of Lu State turned around and headed south. Chunyang Palace ordered the armies of the states and counties that were in contact with Chen State to go back and resist. The states and counties in the east that were not in contact with Chen State followed Chunyang Palace and once again ordered the entire Lu State to mobilize.
, recruiting more monks to participate in the war.
As soon as Lin Xiao and Wang Dao returned to the Tianyun Prefecture camp, they immediately made arrangements to go south. The Danyang Sect's flying boat was fully loaded and brought thousands of people back to Tianyun Prefecture first. The remaining people, horses, dragons, horses and other demonic beasts also immediately followed them.
Set off and drive with all your strength, no matter how hard you use it. As for the supplies and so on, don't worry about it.
The Tiansheng Sect had hundreds of dragons and horses. Lin Xiao asked Bai Zichen to lead the troops on the way. He took the Danyang Sect flying boat and returned to Tianyun Prefecture first. By the time Lin Xiao returned to the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate, the entire Tiansheng Sect was already in turmoil.
