"Junior Brother Guangyuan, do you really want to go to the Lizhou front line?"
Lingmisi Cave.
Wang Xuanjian looked at Guang Yuanzi with a surprised look on his face and asked.
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi said with a serious face: "Senior Brother Wang, since I am a guest elder of the Xianxia Sect, I have to share the worries of the Xianxia Sect.
Nowadays, the demonic cultivators from Dayuan Kingdom are aggressive and their troops are pointing directly at my Yao Yuanshui Realm. How can I sit back and ignore them, junior brother?"
After hearing these words, Wang Xuanjian was a little confused.
If this was said by a direct elder of the Xianxia Sect, Wang Xuanjian would not be surprised.
Even Wang Xuanjian found it surprising that some Keqing elders who had been members of the Xianxia Sect for hundreds of years and quite recognized the Xianxia Sect said this.
But it happened that it was less than a month before Junior Brother Guangyuan was invited to join the Xianxia Sect.
Wang Xuanjian felt quite out of place to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words.
You must know that the Xianxia Sect does not force the Keqing elders in Yaoyuanshui Realm to go to the front line of Lizhou.
In fact, even if the Xianxia Sect compels them to do so, these high-level monks will not buy into the Xianxia Sect.
These high-level monks in the Yaoyuan Water Realm are nominally the Keqing elders of the Xianxia Sect, but the Xianxia Sect has very little control over them, or cannot control them at all.
The title of Elder Keqing is more like a special contract between the two parties.
The current situation is not enough for these high-level monks to fulfill this contract.
Of course, that being said.
But facing Guang Yuanzi's sincere attitude, Wang Xuanjian couldn't say no.
He nodded with a complicated expression and said: "Since Junior Brother Guangyuan is willing to lend a helping hand, Senior Brother, I naturally appreciate it."
Wang Xuanjian paused and then said, "I wonder where Junior Brother Guangyuan wants to go to in Lizhou?"
Although he didn't know why Guang Yuanzi went to Lizhou, one of his own Jindan monks could relieve a lot of pressure on the Lizhou front line.
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you also know that I came back from the Endless Sea, and I am not very familiar with the Yao Yuan Water Realm, let alone Lizhou. I asked Senior Brother Wang to teach me.
?”
Hearing this, Wang Xuanjian nodded: "Forget it, let me explain to you, senior brother, the battle situation on the Lizhou front line."
Guang Yuanzi immediately made a gesture of listening attentively.
next moment.
Wang Xuanjian waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of the two of them.
The map was suspended in front of the two people and slowly unfolded. It was the topographic map of Lizhou.
"Lizhou is different from our Lanzhou. This is a state adjacent to Daqian and Yuan. Lizhou is divided into seven prefectures and forty-three counties. After several years of fierce fighting, Dayuan Demon Cultivator and Lizhou led by Lingbaoshan
The monks are in a stalemate around Wu'an Mansion."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuanjian looked solemn, "But a few days ago, the defense line established by Lizhou monks in Wu'an Mansion was broken, and the Dayuan Demon cultivators drove south and have already attacked here."
As he spoke, Wang Xuanjian pointed to a location on the map.
That location is surprisingly the neighboring mansion to Wu'an mansion, Taiping mansion.
Guang Yuanzi looked at the map position pointed by Wang Xuanjian, and a hint of complexity flashed in his expression.
Shangyang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Taiping Mansion.
After all, Lingbao Mountain is a large sect that dominates a state. The strength of Lingbao Mountain, which is launching an all-out counterattack, cannot be underestimated.
Otherwise, Dayuan Demon Cultivator would not have been able to conquer Wu'an Mansion for so many years.
You know, when Su Ming took Gong Xiaocai to escape, the demon cultivators from Wu'an Mansion had already entered Shangyang County.
Unexpectedly, in these years, Lingbaoshan actually pushed back the demonic cultivators and maintained a stalemate with them in Wu'an Mansion for several years.
Seeing that Guang Yuanzi didn't speak, Wang Xuanjian continued: "Now that Lingbaoshan's strength is greatly reduced, we can only rearrange our defense lines in the four counties of Taiping Mansion.
The remaining three counties in Taiping Mansion are guarded by our Xianxia faction."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuanjian couldn't help but shook his head.
Only three counties were guarded.
Guang Yuanzi's heart moved slightly, and he asked: "Just to guard three counties, it seems that there is no need for Yuanying monks, right?"
"Of course it's not needed. In fact, so far, there has been no war between Lingbao Mountain and the Nascent Soul monks of the Holy Blood Sect."
Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi looked stern.
If Jindan monks are the backbone of a sect, then Nascent Soul monks are the true foundation of a sect.
A Nascent Soul-level war breaks out between the Holy Blood Cult and Lingbao Mountain. No matter who wins or loses, the final result will be to defeat Daqian or other sects in Dayuan.
Both sides are very clear about this.
This is also the reason why the two sides have been fighting for so long and have used real firepower, but they have never used the Nascent Soul monks.
Because once a war breaks out among Nascent Soul monks and too many people die in the war, it means that one of the sects in the Holy Blood Sect and Lingbao Mountain will be completely eliminated.
Neither the Holy Blood Cult nor Lingbao Mountain is willing to take this kind of risk.
Thinking of this, Guang Yuanzi cupped his hands towards Wang Xuanjian and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I don't know which county in Taiping Prefecture you are responsible for guarding this time."
Hearing this, Wang Xuanjian pointed to a location on the map and said with a smile: "This is where I am responsible for guarding."
"Shangyang County"
Guang Yuanzi looked at the map and murmured.
Over Tianshu Island Port.
A giant spaceship hovers high in the sky.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Why, it's only been two years since we last met and you don't recognize me anymore?"
On the deck of the flying boat, seeing Su Ming in a daze, Qin Zhen said with a smile.
"Qin Jiaoxi, why are you here too? Weren't you promoted to an inner disciple?"
Su Ming said in surprise.
"I have been promoted to an inner disciple, but do you think that after being promoted to an inner disciple, you will stay in the sect to retire? Also, you are now a disciple of the Xianxia Sect, so just call me Senior Brother Qin from now on."
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin!"
Su Ming smiled and cupped his hands.
When Qin Zhen saw Su Ming, he seemed quite happy and said with a smile, "Actually, being promoted to an inner disciple means better treatment, more resources that can be redeemed, and in addition, you can become a master and learn some new techniques. .”
Su Ming watched Qin Zhen finish pretending quietly, quite speechless.
"Hahaha, don't look at me like that. With your talent, it will be a matter of time before you enter the inner gate."
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "This time the sect issued the Demon-Slaying Order, I signed up immediately, and then I saw your and Xiaocai's names when I was selecting team members.
So I took the initiative to select you two to join my team."
This time, in cooperation with Lingbaoshan to defend Taiping Mansion, Xianxia Sect is only responsible for guarding three counties.
The remaining four counties were all handed over to the Lizhou monks headed by Lingbaoshan.
After all, Lizhou is the territory of Lingbaoshan Mountain. Despite fighting against the Holy Blood Cult in recent years, Lingbaoshan Mountain has suffered heavy losses.
But there are still three pounds of nails in the rotten ship, let alone the overlord of Lizhou.
Guarding only four counties is not a big problem for Lingbaoshan.
As for the Xianxia Sect, there is no problem.
In fact, the Xianxia Sect only dispatched a small part of Yaoyuanshui Realm's power to gather enough people to go to the front line of Lizhou.
Su Ming and other monks were responsible for the defense of Shangyang County.
This place is under the charge of Deputy Lingmissi, Wang Xuanjian, the elder of the inner sect of the Xianxia Sect.
A late-stage Jindan monk is basically the top combat power of both warring parties.
With him sitting in Zhenyang County, this place must be impregnable.
Su Ming followed him, not so much to fight the demon cultivators of the Holy Blood Cult, but to gain military exploits.
So much so that Qin Zhen, who had just been promoted to an inner disciple, immediately signed up to serve under Elder Wang after learning about this good thing.
The first batch of monks sent by the Xianxia Sect to Shangyang County this time, including Wang Xuanjian, the golden elixir monk, totaled more than 2,000 people.
Among the more than two thousand monks, the one with the lowest cultivation level is almost the first-level Foundation-Building monk like Gong Xiaocai who has just broken through the Foundation-Building stage.
A disciple of the fourth-level inner sect like Qin Zhen is qualified to serve as the captain of a team.
Battles between monks are different from battles between mortal armies.
Due to the differences in each monk's cultivation level and skills, as well as the different flexibility of each monk, it is difficult to uniformly organize the monks into large-scale battle formations.
Therefore, battles between monks often break out in the form of small teams.
As for the best ones at the same level, they all fight against each other on their own.
Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai have lower cultivation levels among the more than two thousand Xianxia sect disciples. To ensure their safety, they cannot act alone.
Not only can they not act alone, in order to ensure the safety of these new outer disciples, all the leaders are inner disciples.
For example, Su Ming's team is led by Qin Zhen.
According to the establishment of the Xianxia Sect, there are five people in a team. If they cooperate with the formation flag, they can still fight even if they encounter monks in the late stage of foundation building.
The squad is the smallest formation that went to Shangyang County to fight this time.
Since each team operates independently, there is no direct commander above the team.
The monks in each team usually take the initiative to receive tasks at the defensive station, or accept tasks mandated by superiors. Afterwards, the team completes the tasks together.
After each mission is completed, you only need to bring back evidence (such as the head of the demon cultivator) to calculate the sect's contribution.
The Xianxia Sect said they were going to Shangyang County to defend, but judging from Elder Wang's arrangements, it didn't look like they were going to defend honestly at all.
But thinking about it, Wang Xuanjian is a late-stage Jindan monk.
Even in the entire Lizhou battlefield, he is the top strong man.
How could a person like this sit in Zhenyang County and stay where he is without moving.
"Rumble--"
On the deck of a giant flying boat.
While Su Ming and Qin Zhen were talking, the flying boat started slowly.
Immediately, the speed of the giant spaceship became faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the sky.
Qin Zhen and Su Ming were talking, while Gong Xiaocai looked at the snow-white clouds under the deck of the flying boat, constantly in a daze.
At this time, it had been more than five years since Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai left Shangyang County.
In five years, Gong Xiaocai not only grew up from a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl to a graceful young girl.
He also grew from a third-level Qi-training monk to a foundation-building monk.
Now, Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai, two people who escaped from Shangyang County, are returning to Shangyang County.
Gong Xiaocai looked at the clouds below with an extremely complicated expression.
Qin Zhen thought of something and said, "By the way, I remember that you are also from Lizhou, right? Where are you from Lizhou?"
"Shangyang County."
Su Ming said softly.
"Shangyang."
Qin Zhen's eyes widened immediately, and then he glanced at Gong Xiaocai, who was in a depressed mood, and said no more.
Su Ming's mood was relatively normal, but Gong Xiaocai's expression looked particularly sad.
Five years ago, Gong Xiaocai lost her only relative in Shangyang County.
Looking at Gong Xiaocai lying on the edge of the deck looking at the clouds below, the two of them stopped talking so as not to disturb the homesick girl.
Tianshu Island in Yaoyuanshui is very far away from Shangyang County in Lizhou.
Even if we don't take a detour and fly in a straight line, the distance will be more than 150,000 miles.
Although this giant flying boat of the Xianxia Sect can carry many monks, its escape speed is not too fast, and it cannot even compare to the sword flying of the Foundation Establishment monks.
Therefore, more than half a month passed.
Su Ming and other talents completely entered the territory of Shangyang County in Lizhou.
"arrive!"
Just entered the territory of Shangyang County.
A voice sounded in the ears of all the monks.
Su Ming recognized that the owner of this voice was none other than Elder Wang Xuanjian who was responsible for guarding the defense line of Shangyang County.
"There are a large number of Great Abyss Demonic Cultivators in Shangyang County. Next we need to find a camp and clear these demonic cultivators out of Shangyang County."
While Wang Xuanjian was speaking, the giant flying boat had begun to slowly land.
It won't take a moment.
The giant spaceship began to shrink violently.
Finally, it turned into a palm-sized mini airship and was taken into the Qiankun Ring by Wang Xuanjian.
The monks who followed Wang Xuanjian to Shangyang County were all foundation-building practitioners, so they all took out their respective magic weapons and flew in the air.
Wang Xuanjian's consciousness was fully deployed.
Su Ming felt a terrifyingly powerful consciousness sweep through his body.
Soon, after checking the terrain, Wang Xuanjian pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said, "We will build our base there."
"Yes, Elder Wang!"
Everyone bowed their hands and accepted the order.
next moment.
Wang Xuanjian took the lead and flew towards the mountain peak ahead.
Behind him, more than two thousand foundation-building monks followed Wang Xuanjian, creating violent roars in the sky.
More than two thousand monks took action together.
In less than two days, a decent temporary garrison was built.
Within the residence.
Each monk opened up his own temporary cave.
These caves were built by everyone looking for the tops of mountains in this mountain range.
All the caves are connected together to form this huge camp.
The entire perimeter of the camp.
The array mages jointly arranged a defensive array and an early warning array.
Su Ming couldn't tell the grade of these two formations, but they were obviously much more advanced than the formation flag in his hand.
When the formation master finished setting up the formation, Wang Xuan would take out a mini palace from the Qiankun Ring.
Then he gathered his sword energy with his left hand and waved it gently.
I saw the highest peak in this mountain range, and Wang Xuanjian directly cut off the peak, exposing a flat open space.
Then, Wang Xuanjian gently tossed the mini palace.
The mini palace grew in the wind, and in an instant, it grew into a majestic palace, standing on the mountain peak that was flattened by Wang Xuanjian.
See this scene.
Su Ming was speechless for a long time. This was a late-stage Jindan monk.
Just by raising your hands and feet, you have the power to move mountains and fill seas.
Compared with Wang Xuanjian, although Guang Yuanzi is also a Jindan monk, their strength is obviously not at the same level.
This late Jindan elder of the Xianxia Sect is much more powerful than Guang Yuanzi.
