One month later, the Yunhuang Alliance completed its preparations, and monks from all over the country gathered together to form a mighty army, arrayed neatly outside Yuhua City.
In the sky, Tianjizi stood on the void, making the final review and mobilization towards the Yunhuang army in front of him.
Behind him, the commanders of the four armies were waiting quietly. Among them, only Gu Yali, who was responsible for leading the team to help the Western Regions, was in the middle stage of Yuanying, and the other three were all in the late stage of Yuanying.
Two of them are Luo Zi and Wan Tianren.
In Yunhuang's army, a group of Yuanying monks looked up at the sky, but their eyes invariably focused on the last late Yuanying monk.
He is a white-haired old Taoist, and he also has a green tree pattern between his eyebrows that is quite similar to Tianjizi's, but the style is slightly different and the light is slightly dimmer.
"Tsk, tsk, isn't this Tianyinzi? People say that he failed to attack the late stage of Nascent Soul a hundred years ago. How come he has failed now?" Bai Nanshan, the ancestor of Bailuo Villa, clicked his tongue.
"It should be that Changchun Temple hid him on purpose. I don't know who it was to guard against." Fairy Bingyou sneered.
"Don't think the worst. Maybe he broke through recently and didn't have time to inform the various sects. Moreover, Wuyue Sect is suppressing the realm. Naturally, the more the better in the later Nascent Soul stage." Mu Wanchun shook his head.
Not only the Nascent Soul monks in the army were talking about it, but Luo Spider and Wan Tianren in the sky also looked at each other with different expressions in their eyes.
However, Tianjizi ignored these and just waved his arms.
"Yunhuang will win this battle!"
"Yunhuang will win!"
Amidst the shouts of the mountains and the tsunami, four armies set off, three of them headed towards the State of Zhao, and the only one headed straight to the Western Regions.
At the edge of Yuhua City, a faint bloody light shot out, following the Yunhuang Alliance army, heading straight for the Kingdom of Zhao.
…
Wuyue Sect Camp.
"...The Yunhuang coalition forces have set off today and are expected to arrive at the Zhao frontline in half a month."
A young man in gray robe held a jade slip in his hand and reported the situation to the venerables.
"Changchun Temple has recruited a lot of helpers this time, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." Xi Zheng said calmly.
"Haha, if it weren't for the defeats of Donghai and Southern Xinjiang, how could the situation have changed to this point?" Lord Evil Eye sneered.
Ni Mu sat upright and did not react at all even when he heard the sarcastic words of Lord Evil Eye.
At this time, Venerable Zi Zi had his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep, and was not listening to them at all.
Xi Zheng frowned, and just when he was about to refute, a neutral voice sounded in the camp.
"Everything in the world is smooth sailing. Failure is not shameful. As long as you can learn a lesson, it is better than anything else."
The voice came from behind a faint purple curtain. Under the veil, Xi Zheng and the others could only see a broad figure sitting on the bed.
"That's what Master Jiuyin taught me." Xi Zheng nodded without any disrespect.
"Let's get back to business. Although this Yunhuang coalition is just a ragtag group of people, since Master Wu Yueshen wants to see how good they are, we can't just deal with it casually. Send me an order to let the gathered sects
As the vanguard to invade the Zhao Kingdom, the main army is steadily pressing forward. We must capture the Lingfu Sect Mountain Gate and clear out the entire Zhao Kingdom before the Yunhuang Alliance arrives!" Behind the curtain, Lord Jiuyin said calmly.
"Yes!" Someone immediately followed the order and left.
Xi Zheng seemed a little worried at this time, but he hesitated for a moment and finally did not speak.
"Okay, let's all disperse. You all should go back and make preparations. This time, you must not disappoint Lord Wuyue Shen again." Lord Jiuyin said again at this time.
Xi Zheng and Ni Mu immediately said yes and then left.
As if being woken up by this moment, Venerable Zi Zi opened her eyes and looked around, then she chuckled lightly, raised her hand, and a pink spiritual light enveloped her body and disappeared with her.
It wasn't until everyone else left that Venerable Evil Eye stood up, cupped his hands behind the curtain, and spoke slowly.
"You have to be careful of Xi Zheng and Ni Mu. One of them is a snake and the other is a wolf. They don't have any good intentions." He reminded.
"I knew it well, but I was wrong about one thing. Ni Mu shouldn't have any problem. He was already in the position of Liu Yu, and in the East China Sea, he was hampered by that idiot Bai Gu. In the end, he had to shoulder the defeat for her.
It is strange that he is not careful in his words and deeds, but this Xi Zheng is very careful and thinks that he can get my support by trying to please that stupid boy in my family? Naive!" Lord Jiuyin sneered.
Hearing this, Venerable Xieyan's face seemed a little unnatural.
"Things in southern Xinjiang..."
"I know that you are not to blame for Rui'er's death. That Yuan Ming will pay the price sooner or later." Lord Jiuyin said in a cold tone.
Lord Xieyan nodded with hatred and did not mention at all his shrinkage when facing Yuan Ming or his speculation about his identity.
"Anyway, you don't have to worry. I have already prepared ways to deal with Xi Zheng's thoughts. I just hope that he will recognize the reality. If he obeys orders, I will not touch him for the time being."
Behind the curtain, Lord Jiuyin seemed to just look up at where Xi Zheng was, but from his words, Lord Xieyan also sensed a hint of warning to himself.
…
One day more than ten days later.
Outside Shura Palace, Huazhi sat boredly on a broken stone, one hand supporting his head on his knees, and one hand extending several vines diagonally into the sand in front of him.
Not far away from her, a tall white ape was practicing an unknown boxing technique. He was full of fierce and domineering aura, and his punches seemed to be accompanied by strong winds, making endless whistling sounds.
And where the fist landed, it was like thunder following it, roaring and exploding continuously.
The surrounding void was also shaken by his fist, causing it to continuously reverberate, the fist's intention was continuous, and the thunder was rolling.
After returning to Yuan Ming this time, he received a lot of advice from his master, and his cultivation improved slightly.
"Smelly monkey, stop fighting, come here and have a rest." Huazhi shouted out of boredom.
"You've been following your master all this time, why are you still so slack?" King Kong didn't stop practicing boxing and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"What does this have to do with whether you are with the master or not? I said, you uncivilized monkey, you know nothing about cultivation? I am talented and smart, I don't have to work as hard as you, do you understand?" Hua Zhi was angry.
road.
But after saying that, she felt a little guilty. Since she came back from Sanxian Island, her practice has indeed slackened a lot.
"Should we really continue to practice hard?" Hua Zhi was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake suddenly, as if some ferocious beast had woken up underground.
She was startled at first, and then the roots of the tree vines pierced the ground, and the changes in the ground were transmitted to her.
The expression on Huazhi's face instantly changed from surprise to joy, and she said happily: "The master should come out soon..."
At the same time, in the secret room of the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming's whole body was wrapped in demonic energy, and his clothes had long since disappeared. The skin that was exposed to the demonic energy was suddenly black.
There is a layer of black scales on his cheeks, with a metallic sheen on them. Above his eyebrows, the skin is opened, and a sharp black bone protrudes half an inch in length. The whole person looks completely human, but on the contrary
Like a demon.
Qiye could sense the changes in him at this moment, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Because Yuan Ming was going through the most dangerous hurdle at this time. If he took this step, he would be able to successfully obtain the half-demon body. If he failed to cross it, then the best outcome for him would be to completely lose his mind.
Become a monster that only knows how to kill.
In the dark demonic aura, one can still see the chains that penetrated Yuan Ming's body, especially the chain that penetrated from the back of his head. The demonic aura on the surface was so strong that it had liquefied into a black streak wrapped around the chains.
liquid.
The black liquid was following the chain, invading Yuan Ming's sea of consciousness little by little.
Yuan Ming's consciousness sea is now in chaos, and the majestic demonic energy is dense in the entire consciousness sea space. There is only a square inch of clear space left on his spiritual platform, and there are rolling black waves sweeping around the periphery, carrying the potential of destruction.
Come.
His Nascent Soul was also standing at this moment. Because it was contaminated with demonic energy, its whole body was also wrapped with strands of black energy, and it looked a little weak.
But those eyes were still extremely clear.
Just when the darkness was about to submerge this place, the Nascent Soul villain suddenly opened his mouth and let out a silent roar.
Almost at the same time, an extremely strong golden light erupted from its body, instantly burning away the black energy on its body. The majestic power of the soul, with the brightness and heat of the blazing sun, drove away all the demonic energy lingering in the sea of consciousness.
The surging black wave was also forced back by the sudden spread of golden light, and was squeezed to the edge of the sea of consciousness.
At the same time as the power of Yuan Ming's soul exploded, his body also began to undergo drastic changes. His eyes lit up with golden light, and the power of the sun contained in his body began to erupt, and began to blend with the demonic energy that had been incorporated into his body.
The dark color on his body began to fade away gradually, but it did not disappear completely. Instead, it formed a continuous black pattern on his chest, abdomen, back, shoulders and thighs.
The pattern has a weird shape and is different from the runes on Yunhuang Continent, but it contains a mysterious and unspeakable aura.
"drink……"
Yuan Ming let out a cheerful cry, pulled his arms forward suddenly, and took a step forward.
"Kaka"
There was a sound of chains breaking one after another.
The chains that pierced his arms, ankles, and back all broke and turned into little black lights that dissipated.
Yuan Ming shook his head from side to side and tore off the last chain connected to the back of his head. The scales on his face gradually faded in color, leaving only a faint mark in the end.
And the bone angle protruding from the forehead shrank little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, congratulations." Qiye didn't dare to speak out until this moment.
