From now on, all traces of Tianshui City have been completely erased.
As the original residents of Tianshui City fled to various cities and towns, various rumors spread throughout the Southwest Prefecture at an extremely fast speed.
Some people claim that the reason why such a tragedy of destroying a city happened is because the commander who dispatched the mission of extraterrestrial visitors was actually a cruel and violent lunatic.
Others claimed that Tianshui City was originally going to surrender to the ghost market, but because the city lord wanted to die, a wave of ambushes came, which angered the commander, and the entire Tianshui City was buried with him.
Some people even claim that all this is the initiative of those aliens. They are just a group of lawless fanatics. It doesn't matter if they blow up a city.
All in all, this miscellaneous news came together, frightening and frightening the people of Southwest Prefecture, and then caused panic among the people. Many people decided to move their families to Nanxuan Prefecture first.
Towns closer to Tianshui City ushered in a wave of surrender.
After all, Baihutang and the Zi Nong Xie family do not have strong control over the entire southwest prefecture. It is the limit to send a great master to a transportation artery such as Tianshui City, and its location is not just to look after Tianshui City.
By the way, surrounding towns are also included.
As a result, after Tianshui City exploded, it directly caused a domino effect.
This situation can also be described as a ghost market, and the entire southwestern state capital has no choice but to surrender.
At this moment, the player army has also launched a second wave of expeditions. Taking advantage of their current reputation, they naturally want to take the opportunity to expand their results.
Compared with previous battles, in towns where there are no hard-core garrison of Baihutang and Zi Nong Xie clan, when they see this group of lunatics trying to attack the city, they rarely fight for it. Most of them fast forward to the surrender stage and start fighting directly.
The benefits you can get after taking refuge in the ghost market.
Even if there is a stubborn city lord, he will hand in the letter of surrender under the coercion of various local forces.
After all, if the city is bombed, the ones who will suffer the most are the forces that have been operating in the local area for a long time. They dare not bet on whether there will be a second bombing of the city.
After Qin Fan confirmed that the basic overall situation of Xuanlu Domain had been decided, he continued their journey with Li Shizhou and Yu Cangmiao.
------------------
"Is there no news from you either?" Qin Fan asked, lying on his fat body, watching Li Shizhou flying the homing pigeons with a serious look on his side.
"No." Li Shizhou lay on his back, with an inextricable sadness between his brows, "Baihu Qisu died, Xie Yiren also died. The outcome of the entire battle was determined by the explosion of Tianshui City.
It went directly to the ghost market.
However, the soldiers on the front lines of these two forces are still fighting and retreating in an orderly manner, which is abnormal."
From his standpoint, he hopes that the Southwest Alliance will launch a counterattack as soon as possible. Only in this way can he prove that the opponent's target has been transferred from his Shaohou Army to Gui City, but this coward still reveals a steady tactics.
, leaving him completely confused.
"Perhaps we have overestimated the other party. They only control the few troops on the front line." Yu Cangmiao said calmly.
"Then just wait." Qin Fan was not in a hurry.
Forcing the person behind the scenes in advance is not necessarily a good thing for him.
Nowadays, the entire southwest state capital is being occupied by the ghost market at a speed visible to the naked eye. The other party does not actively respond, but instead facilitates the progress of its strategy. Regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is unable to do what he wants or has a bigger conspiracy, as long as the territory he occupies,
That's what belongs to him.
So he really didn't mind that the other party was just holding it in the dark.
Then Qin Fan looked at Li Shizhou and said, "These few days are enough for you to digest what happened before."
"What do you mean?" Li Shizhou frowned slightly.
"It means whether your current strength can accommodate your ambition. To be more specific, if you are alone and ambushed by White Tiger Qisu, can you turn the tide and block the last ray of Buddha's light from Shangguan Jinhong?
If not, you need to rethink your positioning.
After all, you are not yet completely independent of the Daxuan Dynasty, so you still have the opportunity to continue to rely on the big tree."
Qin Fan and Yu Cangmiao exchanged glances before speaking.
He knew that Li Shizhou was a restless person, so he said that he had a dual fate. Who among Fang Yingzhou and Li Chenzhou was willing to rely on others all the time?
But the actual situation is that there is no shortage of talents under Li Shizhou, but none of them have grown up enough to face this bloody storm. Even Li Shizhou himself can't keep up with the update progress of the version.
He can build a mountaintop during the celestial realm, but it is difficult for him to rule the roost in the era of dharma realm.
Li Shizhou also thought of this. After he and Qin Fan fought against Baihu Qisu and Xie Yiren, he had been struggling with this matter.
It stands to reason that he has done a very good job, becoming the representative of the Liehou line, using his strength to establish the Shaohou Army that has reached a quasi-first-class army, and relying on his early arrangements, he has hidden forces in various states.
Coupled with the fact that he used his destiny body, he recruited a number of subordinates with great potential in advance.
And becoming the only 'demon' known in the world.
If there were no outside forces to enter the country in advance, with the power it currently possesses and the support of the Daxuan Dynasty, it would be more than enough to become a warlord ruling a state.
But after seeing the irresistible Buddha's light emitted by Shangguan Jinhong before his death, he suddenly felt that everything in his hands was like a castle in the air and could be easily destroyed.
Then Li Shizhou raised his head and looked at Qin Fan and said, "I didn't think you would be so kind and worry about me from my perspective."
"We are allies now." Qin Fan paused and said, "You can also say we are friends. Naturally, I don't want to see you step towards doomed destruction."
Li Shizhou didn't believe every punctuation mark in this sentence. He said bluntly: "What do you want to use me for?"
"What is there to use or not? I just think there is a lot of potential for your identity. Wouldn't it be better to temporarily put away your ambitions and continue to lie dormant for a while?" Qin Fan blinked and gave the other party a kind smile.
Li Shizhou simply closed his eyes.
He understood what Qin Fan meant, which was to let his wild horse, which had just escaped from the reins, take the initiative to put on the reins again.
He does not have the power to compete with the Dharma Realm, but the Daxuan Dynasty, or the Daxuan Heavenly Court behind it, must have it. As long as Li Shizhou continues to be an obedient and loyal minister, he can mobilize this power to a certain extent.
for one's own use.
After all, unlike Qin Fan, the King of Zhennan, he has been a Daxuan man with Miao Qing roots since birth.
Besides, he can use more than just the identity of the Little Marquis of Daxuan.
Then he looked at the scales emerging on the back of his hand and said thoughtfully:
"My situation is different from what you think."
"You mean you're not a pure demon?"
"That's definitely not the case." Li Shizhou took out a jade pendant angrily and said, "I was guided by it and got something, so I became a demon."
Qin Fan wanted to take the jade pendant, but Li Shizhou shrank his hand and took it back.
Seeing this, Qin Fan was not embarrassed and continued to ask: "What do you mean by some things?"
"There are things that can awaken it, and there are also things that can improve my strength. Among them is that ring. It's a pity that the residual consciousness inside was destroyed by you." Li Shizhou pointed to Feng Mo's right hand.
This is the god-refining ring that once attracted him to Xuanyang Domain. (See Chapter 249 for some details)
After Qin Fan got the ring, he knew that it would cost 10 million yuan to awaken the consciousness inside, so he simply let it swallow it, and then gave it to Feng Mo, who killed living creatures to sharpen his mental power.
"So what you mean is that you can't get some help from your identity as a 'demon'?" Qin Fan thought for a while and asked.
Li Shizhou nodded: "To be more precise, I am not the real 'demon', it is."
"Then it..."
This time Qin Fan was interrupted by Li Shizhou as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Do you think my relationship with it will be friendly?"
Qin Fan shook his head, and he understood that the consciousness in the jade pendant did not exist as Li Shizhou's grandfather at all, but an object that was ruthlessly exploited by him. It is estimated that Li Shizhou got ten benefits from him.
Only then will he be given a tenth of a share.
So if you want to pass it, there is no need to consider using the power of the demon clan.
After all, if this thing can escape Li Shizhou's exploitation, the first thing he should do is kill Li Shizhou.
"Then can you tell me how you became like this?" Qin Fan asked, pointing to the scales on the back of his hands and the strange vertical pupils.
"After eating something it gave me, it said it was one of the holy objects condensed from the essence of the demon clan's great sage. It gave me the feeling of a ball of extremely strong and yang energy. After absorbing it, my
His spirit was shocked and he almost took advantage of him.
But it also brought me a lot of benefits.”
It was impossible for Li Shizhou to tell all the benefits. It was normal to conceal a little bit. After all, this was his secret method. But just hearing this information, Qin Fan had some guesses. At the same time, his
His expression became even weirder.
"What's wrong?"
"After you ate that thing, your resilience became stronger and your qualifications improved to a certain extent. And until now, you haven't fully digested the energy in it.
Is it because you are worried that the beastly impact of that energy will affect your spirit? Or is it because you don’t want to become a ghost like a human being?”
"Is this all your guess?" Li Shizhou's face looked a little ugly, because Qin Fan was right, including his thoughts.
"Although I am not sure whether the thing you are talking about is the same thing as what I was thinking about, I think you can put down some scruples and absorb it with all your strength." Qin Fan said with a serious expression.
Li Shizhou didn't say anything, but kept looking at Qin Fan.
Qin Fan said helplessly: "The debt you owe now has not been paid off, so I can't push you to a dead end. Taking ten thousand steps back, from the moment you become like this, your position is not entirely up to you.
It's up to your will to decide.
And it just so happens that you, like Zhishan, are natural allies with me."
Li Shizhou continued to be silent, but his eyes no longer stared at Qin Fan, but fell into deep thought.
Qin Fan sighed, then rummaged through his space ring, found a book copied by an extraterrestrial visitor, and handed it to him.
"What is this? Is it related to the destiny body?" Li Shizhou took the book, looked at the two characters "Wind and Cloud" written on the cover, and then started reading.
While he was looking at the book in bewilderment as Xiong Ba tried to set himself up in various ways for four sentences of criticism, Yu Cangmiao came to Qin Fan's side and said through a message:
"What he ate was Long Yuan?"
"It feels very similar...and don't you think those scales look like dragon scales?"
"I've never seen a dragon before."
"I haven't seen it either, but it's golden, so it should be about the same."
"With this kind of luck, he probably still has a fateful body."
"Duan Lang? Po Jun? Jue Xin? It can't be Bu Jingyun or Nie Feng. It doesn't matter. I hope he can completely transform into a dragon. In this way, he might be able to confirm his identity and get in touch with the demon clan.
, anyway, it has been determined that external forces will join, so why not make the situation more chaotic."
Yu Cangmiao nodded and then said:
"You probably haven't forgotten something."
"What's up?"
"As the Zhennan King of the Daxuan Dynasty, the territory you have divided only occupies the five areas of the Southwest Prefecture. With the retreat of the opponent's frontline troops, you are close to occupying the three areas."
"Are you saying that this is their real purpose? To abandon a large territory and use my greed to provoke a conflict between Gui Shi and Da Xuan? If this is really the plan, the people behind the scenes are a bit petty.
Besides, these five domains also include the Zi Nong Domain, the family land of the Xie clan in Zi Nong, so I don’t believe he would let it be so simple.”
"If you calculate the time, your corpse bearer should have arrived in the Zi Nong area."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Southwest Prefecture Capital, Zi Nong Territory.
Compared to the chaos in other territories, the order here has not been affected at all.
Even the bombing of Tianshui City did not cause a trace of turmoil.
Of course, [Demon King] doesn't care about all this. He is now only thinking about delivering Xie Yiren's head to the Xie family's ancestral home, sneaking in to collect some intelligence information, and trying to complete the task as soon as possible.
Along the way, the passive effect of the title did not attract the attention of others. Even though there were layers of checkpoints in the Zi Nong Domain, it was still easy to sneak in with his lightness skills.
Until they reached the center of Zi Nong Territory, there was a large city-sized Xie family's territory.
"What's the situation?" Perhaps because he was used to the tight defense of Zi Nong Domain, looking at the unguarded gate made [Demon King] a little confused.
As a qualified corpse bearer, even if there is no one at the door, he still chooses to walk along the wall with a dexterous jump.
After entering the Xie family's land, a creepy feeling sprouted from his heart. Just because he didn't see a single person along the way, the family's land was too empty, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
It wasn't until he walked into the hall of Xie's house that he saw the first person, and possibly the only person.
"Ahem, I'm here..."
Before [Demon King of Confusion] finished speaking, he saw the woman sitting in the main seat, as cold as ice, suddenly raised her head, and swung a sword light from her sleeve, killing her directly. At the same time, the wooden box in [Demon King of Confusion]'s hand was also gone.
Fall.
Xie Yiren's head just rolled to the woman's feet. She glanced at it expressionlessly, and then wiped it away completely with a finger.
After the resurrection, [Demon King] looked at the mission interface that popped up in front of him with a confused expression.
