In order to cope with possible changes in the Battle of Longmen, the human world mobilized more than a million cultivators. It seemed very powerful, but the strength of the six tribes of heaven and humans near the Western Region was actually stronger than that of the human world.
In addition to the 160,000 monks who have arrived in Dawu City, there are also 70,000 monks who have arrived from southern Xinjiang.
This time, there are nearly one million monks from the six classes of gods and humans in the lower realm.
Most of the monks are still stationed near the Gate of Catastrophe in the west of Yinshan Mountain.
However, the Catastrophe Gate is less than three thousand miles away from the Dragon Gate. With the air speed of the heavenly monks, they can easily reach the battlefield within an hour.
If the Battle of Dragon Gate is really expanded, both the human world and the heaven will be able to invest huge forces in a very short period of time.
However, neither side seems to want to start a large-scale battle over a dragon gate that has no strategic significance to cultivators.
So both sides were very restrained.
In the early morning, the army of heaven began to move out again.
Yesterday, because of Ye Xiaochuan's arrival, Phantom ordered the army to retreat five miles to the north.
The reason why he retreated was because Phantom had dealings with Ye Xiaochuan.
This guy has never had martial ethics, and he might use some despicable means to deal with the six legions.
Now that her father has arrived, Phantom is no longer afraid of Ye Xiaochuan.
Early in the morning, the sound of war drums and horns broke the rare brief calm in Longmen.
The heavenly army started a new round of attack.
This time, Phantom's appetite was obviously much smaller than yesterday. He mobilized heavy troops and attacked Longmen Ancient City with all his strength, but did not attack the Longbei Mountain defense line again.
There are two reasons why we no longer attack on two fronts at the same time.
First, Zhan Ying's psychological tactics behind enemy lines had a certain effect.
Phantom has become very cautious now, and has mobilized a lot of heavenly armies from Longmen to defend against Zhan Ying's "Zhenlong Chess Game" tactics. As a result, the heavenly armies near Longmen are not very strong.
Secondly, at dawn yesterday, there was a shocking explosion in Longbei Mountain, which really scared Phantom.
Before the main force of Heaven arrived at Longmen, Phantom really didn't dare to take military action against Longbei Mountain rashly, lest he make the same mistake as yesterday.
Ye Xiaochuan was sitting on the roof of Longmen Inn, holding a wine jar in his hand, watching the brutal fighting in Longmen.
The cry of death from the north was very close at hand.
The shock wave of the explosion even reached the Longmen Inn.
Ye Xiaochuan had no intention of eating, he was just drinking sip after sip.
Maybe it's because he's old, or maybe he saw countless corpses of red-feathered soldiers in the southern wasteland yesterday.
The Dragon Gate battle before him did not make him too angry.
He understood a truth very early on: war is about exchanging human lives for human lives.
The last party to survive is the winner of the war.
However, when Ye Xiaochuan saw the white scarf soldiers igniting the black gunpowder on their bodies and jumping off the city wall without hesitation, he was still somewhat touched in his heart.
Ye Cha, on the other hand, didn't care much about the life or death of these red-feathered troops. He kept commenting on the power of black gunpowder.
Finally, even Yecha had to lament that the power of this black gunpowder was indeed extraordinary.
The lethality of a cloth-wrapped thunder and fire bomb is almost comparable to that of a low-level cultivator.
He said with emotion: "The world has really changed. Cultivators are no longer the masters of this world. If mortals continue to study black gunpowder, they may be able to make it more powerful. By then, the entire Three Realms will have changed."
Damn it."
Ye Xiaochuan agreed with Ye Cha's view.
He predicted before anyone else that the emergence of black gunpowder would end the era of cultivation that had been passed down for millions of years.
He said: "Grandpa Heaven, if one day mortals possess weapons that can easily kill cultivators, what should cultivators do?
Will it disappear into the Three Realms forever like those beast monsters that existed in ancient times?"
Ye Chadao: "Probably not.
Cultivators are not beasts, but humans.
Everyone has desires, and the pursuit of immortality and personal power is also one of the desires.
No matter how powerful gunpowder is, it is just a weapon after all, and it cannot increase an individual's lifespan.
However, if the day you mentioned comes true, there will definitely be a big collision between mortal civilization and cultivation civilization.
When this kind of collision continues for a period of time, it will weaken.
Then, like all living things, the two civilizations will find a delicate balance.
After balancing for a period of time, there will be a second collision until the next equilibrium point is found.
A long time passed in such repeated collisions."
Ye Xiaochuan had some realization.
He could tell that Ye Cha's words were basically consistent with Mu Shen's philosophy.
They all firmly believe that living things will not go to destruction on their own. No matter how bad the external environment is, they will find a way out that suits them.
In the future, there may be a long collision between mortal civilization and cultivation civilization, which is also a way to find a way out.
Everyone saw Ye Xiaochuan on the roof, but no one dared to go up and disturb him. It was not because he was afraid of Ye Xiaochuan, but because he was afraid of the people around Ye Xiaochuan.
In order to avoid another assassination incident like yesterday, Wang Keke personally took over Ye Xiaochuan's defense work.
He could not trust the big bosses of Gui Xuan Sect, but he could only trust the disciples in red who he raised with his own hands.
There were more than a thousand red-clothed disciples, but only five or six hundred of them went out to make friends today. The remaining half of the red-clothed disciples were all mobilized by Wang Keke to take charge of Ye Xiaochuan's security work.
Now, only a few people can approach Ye Xiaochuan freely.
One of them is Qin Guichen.
Qin Guichen prepared breakfast for the senior elders of Gui Xuan Sect, then carried a small basket and leaped to the roof of the inn.
Said: "Zongci, let's have something to eat."
Ye Xiaochuan glanced at Qin Guichen.
At this moment, Qin's boudoir is no longer in disguise, but has changed into her original appearance.
This looks much better than usual.
But Ye Xiaochuan seemed a little uncomfortable with it.
Seeing Ye Xiaochuan looking at him blankly, Qin Guichen said: "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "It's nothing, I'm just used to seeing your old and yellow face over the years, and now I see you returning to your original handsome appearance, I'm a little uncomfortable."
Qin Guichen was speechless.
She said: "In order to avoid pursuit, I had to change my appearance before, but now there is no need.
If you don't like the way I look now, I can change it back."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "No, please don't, I still look good like this."
In the distance, Yun Qiyou clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth as he looked at the couple on the roof.
Her heart has always been calm, but every time she sees Ye Xiaochuan getting too close to other women, an unknown fire will rise in her heart.
Now, she really wants to kill someone, cut the body of Qin's concubine into thousands of pieces, crush her bones and scatter her ashes.
