In the hidden place over there, Xue'er was waiting anxiously. Her body was wandering around, looking towards the sky, and the anxiety in her eyes was clearly visible.
"I told you, Miss Xue'er, don't worry too much. On the way, didn't you ask repeatedly if Zhao Man was okay?"
"I know, but I'm still worried." Xue'er listened a little more, sat down on the stone next to her, and supported her chin with her hands, "I just feel uncomfortable when I think of the suffering he suffered."
"I understand, but you have to believe in Gu Zheng. Maybe they will come back after a while." Su Nan sighed and comforted her.
"Look!" At this moment, Xiao Chong's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed at the sky in the distance and shouted loudly, "Gu Zheng and the others are back."
Xue'er and Su Nan immediately looked into the distance, and sure enough they found a group of people flying towards them. The leader was Gu Zheng or someone else.
When she saw Gu Zheng coming back, Xueer could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. Her eyes kept scanning behind her, and soon she saw the somewhat haggard Zhao Man following behind, and he was also looking straight at him.
Gou looked this way.
"It's so great!" Xue'er murmured with tears streaming down her face.
When Gu Zheng brought everyone down, a familiar scene appeared in front of Gu Zheng again. In his words, in just a few months, the two teams had forced themselves on him twice, but Xiaochong and Su
Nan looked at the other person affectionately again and smiled at each other.
After Xue'er and Zhao Man hugged each other for a while, Gu Zheng had to interrupt them, "I know you have a lot to do, but we still have a long way to go back. We will have the opportunity to get along in the future."
After he was ready to go back, he began to prepare for beheading the corpse, and then prepared for becoming a saint. Of course, he thought very well, and there was no way of knowing whether he could succeed until the last step.
Xue'er blushed and retreated, nodded to Gu Zheng, and retreated to the side in embarrassment. Zhao Man, on the other hand, was obviously in a very good mood and grinned directly.
"Let's leave now, haha."
"By the way, where's Xiao Le."
When Gu Zheng was about to get up, he suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Man, which made Zhao Man's face become disappointed.
"He died to save me."
Gu Zheng shook his head and didn't say anything else. He originally wanted to prepare a new body for Xiao Le, but he didn't expect that he would sacrifice himself for Zhao Man.
"Let's go. When we get back, let's worship him."
Gu Zheng took these dozen people and set off again. This time he had to go back along the same route, but this time the time to go back was much longer than the time to go here.
...
In the underworld, three months passed by in a flash.
"Master Ying, now all of us are in place, and everyone outside has been brought back, but there are still many in other domains who are in chaos or don't care at all."
In the ancient city, Ye Tian reported to Xiaoying.
"Don't worry about them. The underworld will fall into chaos again. We also have some skirmishers to fight for. Is Jin Sanshun ready?" Xiaoying, who is as big as a brat, said expressionlessly.
"Well, isn't it a bit inappropriate to just let Yue Qian serve as the city gate leader?" Ye Tian thought for a while, then asked carefully.
"Why is it inappropriate? I've seen the other person's ability. He's powerful and thoughtful. He's the perfect candidate. Besides, we have few trustworthy people now. Can you find someone else for me?" Xiaoying didn't quite understand what the other person meant.
, but let me explain it again.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Tian thought about it and said nothing more, but he had secretly decided to arrange for others to be behind just in case.
"Go down and make arrangements now. The next step is a hard battle. I hope everyone can persevere and wait for the queen to come back." Xiaoying said seriously.
Ye Tian bowed his hands and retreated, and began to arrange things one by one.
After so many years of development, the ancient city has actually become more complete and more prosperous. However, since Yang Du was reincarnated, many things have been pressing on Jin Sanshun, but the other party has done better and has lived up to anyone's expectations.
The only thing that makes them feel at ease now is the existence of Morning Prison. Even if the other party has been promoted to quasi-sage cultivation, it still firmly protects the ancient city. After the news is passed, many powerful people, including those Lan Ji, Lin Yi and other big
The elders and elders all gathered here, and together with the people brought by Xiaoying, it made this place very safe.
As for why Xiaoying was allowed to temporarily take control of this place, no one had any objection to the fact that Gu Zheng, the other party's personal maid, was extremely powerful. Of course, as Gu Zheng's number one servant, he naturally had a high status.
Coupled with his versatility, Xiaoying took on a new role.
Of course, it's not just him. The team that Gu Zheng left behind have all taken office and started working hard to fight against future enemies.
"But, is it really that serious?"
Ye Tian was in his office, looking at the open door, feeling a little lost.
Not to mention him, everyone else didn't believe that anyone would dare to cause trouble in the underworld.
"Master Ye, I wonder what you want from me?" At this time, a man walked in from outside and said to Ye Tian.
"Qiyue, don't laugh at me all the time. Why didn't Guangyu come with you?" Ye Tian came down from his seat and said helplessly.
"He has something else to do and asked me to come over and check it out." Qi Qi looked around curiously, "By the way, your place is pretty good."
"I'll give it to you if you like it. I don't like this place." Ye Tian shrugged, "By the way, the reason I asked you to come here this time is to ask you to deploy some people behind Yue Qian to make up for his loopholes at any time."
July was surprised, "You mean?"
"That's right, she still became the patrol commander. I think there is something wrong, but Master Ying doesn't believe it. You also know Yue Qian's situation. You almost regard Mr. Gu as the person you admire most in your heart. Naturally, you can get Master Ying's approval.
Trust." Ye Tian shrugged.
He also knows that at this time, trust is sometimes more important than ability. For example, that shadow and his master are all very highly regarded, but Yue Qian is really an exception. How can I put it best?
A little headache.
"Okay, I'll guard it personally, but you have to let Lady Ying give the order so that I can command her troops."
"There is no problem with this. I can take responsibility for all these things." Ye Tian naturally knew how powerful he was now, and he didn't know that the other party trusted him so much, although he would not rebel even if he died.
Qi Qiyue seemed to have known this for a long time, and was not surprised at all. After getting what he wanted, he immediately went down.
When Gucheng began to prepare for war, the same was true for the other three cities in Hades City. But overall, apart from them, including the cities actually controlled by Hades, they were all gathered together, and all the cities in the first domain were gathered together.
Enter the four cities.
But there are still some cities that still feel that Hades is a bit allergic. Although the empress has gone to do something and won't be able to come back for a short time, no one dares to act wild here, so naturally she doesn't take it seriously.
In an ordinary city in the middle, the red captain who had been hiding and the red commander who finally escaped looked at his subordinates and finally showed a victorious smile.
"Everyone below must start taking action and activate our people one by one until the Lord comes." No one would have thought that the hidden red captain had actually become the lord of a city and entered the underworld.
's interior.
"But many of them have made preparations. Isn't it not safe?" One of the subordinates was a little confused and raised the question.
"Although there are some troubles, there is nothing to worry about on the outside. Even if we raid inside, it is impossible to have very good results. What we have to do is to constantly destroy this place and slowly weaken their strength. We don't need more
Whatever you do, just leave it to those soldiers." Captain Red smiled slightly, his eyes full of fanaticism.
"Sir, we are ready."
"Everyone spread out, notify everyone, and when our people arrive, we will use various methods to help them and completely tear the periphery of Hades into pieces." Captain Red immediately issued the order.
Several people in the underground nodded immediately, and soon they activated their people one by one. Although there were not many in number, they were spread across many cities, and some of them were in high positions. They could definitely give them a heavy blow at a critical moment.
The countdown to an invasion that has been planned for a long time has begun, and only the last few days are needed.
A few days later, on the outer wall of the ancient city, Yue Qian and two of his confidants began to patrol around in high spirits.
"Be careful, you can easily fall if you stand so close."
She saw a guard in front of her, who seemed to be looking at something in the distance, and immediately called out a warning.
The guard was suddenly startled. From the voice, he heard Yue Qian's words. He sighed secretly in his heart and wanted to stand upright. But for some reason, he felt his feet slip and his whole body was straight up.
The hook fell off, causing a vibration from below.
The city where the formation had been activated had long since become a restricted air zone. Even if he wanted to fly up, there was nothing he could do. He had to get up from the ground, but preparations had been made below, leaving a crack for him.
As long as Yue Qian starts patrolling, there will always be various accidents, and they are no longer surprised.
"Hey, I've clearly warned you, but you're still so careless. Really, you haven't made any progress in the past few days." Yue Qian shook his head, and then continued patrolling.
As for the confidant behind him, he glanced at the other party with understanding, and then followed him carefully.
Everyone has known Yue Qian, a usually silent person, for a long time. It was not because she volunteered to come here to be a soldier to repay Gu Zheng's life-saving grace, but because what happened to her had long ago
It became something that everyone knew and only she didn't care about.
As long as you are around her, some accidents will always happen. For example, if you are standing well, you will suddenly slide to the ground. Considering that they are all golden immortals at the lowest level, what mistakes did they make to do this?
If you smash it down when it is strange, you will almost go crazy.
Although these small things cannot bring any serious consequences to others, the most serious thing is that the solid city collapsed for no reason. Although it was later discovered that it was because Yang Du once practiced fruit there, which caused some minor problems with the formation, it spread more and more.
mysterious.
However, Yue Qian didn't feel anything. Under Jin Sanshun's order, Yue Qian wandered around without any problems. Although there were many things, everyone liked her more and more, because such things did not happen without reason.
For example, when there are problems in practice, it is because some of them are not paid attention to. If you continue to go on, you can go crazy, and the opponent can interrupt his progress without causing any harm to him. This is what the unlucky guy discovered later.
.
For example, if something unexpected happened to the city wall during the war, it would be a big problem, and it would be solved in advance because the hidden dangers came out.
To put it in one sentence, it’s because there is a problem, but you usually can’t find it, but Yue Qian can help you find it. Not to mention that many people have been taken care of by Yue Qian, and many hidden dangers have been solved. As for some
Small side effects, such as an innocent fall or accidentally entering the wrong person's house, are not a problem.
Therefore, Yue Qian is considered very popular here, allowing her to experience a different feeling, just as Zeng Gu Zheng told her.
"Your physical problem is not your fault. It depends on how you use it. It is like a magic weapon. In the hands of evil people, it is a murder weapon, but in the hands of kind people, it is a magic weapon that can save people."
After a week of inspection as usual, there were not many problems, which made her very satisfied. Looking at the sky in the distance, she felt a little melancholy in her heart. Because of her strength, although she had successfully advanced to Golden Immortal, her cultivation was still weak. Once It's a pity that she is not allowed to appear in battle when there are other things to do.
After resting for a while, just as she was about to go back, something strange happened in the sky.
Dark clouds as black as ink appeared in the distant sky out of thin air, covering almost everything in sight. The originally bright sky seemed to have entered night in an instant, full of depressive atmosphere, lingering in everyone's heart. .
According to Lord Ying's guess, the enemy has finally invaded.
Within the entire scope of Hades' control, all the skies far away from the city have been occupied by black mist. No matter whether they are in the city or in the wild, no one can fail to notice it.
It only took less than half a cup of tea, and so much time that all the forces were unable to issue effective orders. Only some casual people who were not afraid of death tried to rush up to see what was going on in the sky. However, the closer they got, a wave of The huge force pressed on the opponent, making them slower. Before they could get close to it, the enemy fell from the sky overwhelmingly.
The first ones to come out were countless succubi with waving wings. Their bodies were like eagles, but their heads were extremely ferocious human heads. They only had two pairs of sharp eyes and a row of mouths full of sharp teeth, from which they issued harsh hawk sounds. He made a sound and launched an attack on some curious people.
Not only that, among these harpies, some human figures with thin bodies that looked not much different from humans fell down. However, these people were completely naked and could not tell the difference between men and women. Although they had the appearance of ordinary people, But every one of them looked bloodthirsty, as if they had lost their minds. After coming down, they pounced directly on all the enemies on the periphery, and their fingers turned into only three sharp claws to serve as their weapons.
"What Hades said is true."
This is the common thought in everyone's mind, because these enemies did not appear next to the city. The cities that were prepared naturally began to raise formations and prepare themselves, but some cities that were not prepared, in such a short period of time, could not survive at all. It was too late. After a short sprint, the enemies approached the city in just a stick of incense.
Of course, the first ones to rush up were the harpies. Every one of them was at least in the Celestial Immortal stage. Some of the elites had reached the Golden Immortal stage. Even in the panic, there were people below who launched a counterattack. The few people who came from the land were immediately wiped out. , this gives them a huge message, at least the enemy is not strong, and the people who can be here are not weak.
Of course, the people who suffer the most are those who don’t believe that they are still wandering outside. Even if they start to head towards the nearest city immediately, except for a very few lucky people, almost all the others are within the city limits. The death penalty can be pronounced.
Those enemies who look like mummies are all golden immortals with the lowest cultivation level. Some of the elites have even come to Daluo. Even some masters can kill a few or a dozen, but as more and more enemies surround them, , and were eventually piled to death on the road.
If you encounter some more powerful opponents, you may be killed by them in minutes.
For a whole day, almost all the stray people wandering outside had been completely killed, and densely packed enemies began to attack the city.
Although the power between cities is different, they can still sustain themselves against the two previous enemies. There were only a few enemies before. After the reaction, most of the enemies were isolated from the outside. After all, each city has its own
The defensive formation is enough to last for a period of time.
But everyone looked at the black mist that was still boiling in the sky, and everyone's heart became heavy, because they didn't know if there were new enemies on the other side. Now they could see outside the city, they were all enemies.
Almost surrounded them.
Fortunately, the opponent's overall strength is not strong. The only powerful one is the Daluo master hidden among them.
Soon every city began to prepare independently. Taking advantage of the fact that the outside power was still weak, they began to counterattack. At this time, even the red captain and others did not start to take action, because relying on these would only give the opponent some panic at first. If it really happened,
If you react, you will definitely not be able to survive for a few days.
But he did not object. Instead, he gathered more warriors and began to counterattack.
Because these people are just bait prepared for them. Although it is easy for these people to go out, it may not be that easy to come back.
But next time, the real strength comes.
"It's strange why it's so quiet."
Outside the Four Cities, it was quiet, but the black mist still hung in the sky, which made people confused. However, everyone still did not go out, but waited quietly. They believed that it was impossible for the other party not to stop.
Come, especially these four cities, I am afraid they will be the key targets of attack by the opponent.
However, they were basically not afraid. Instead, they were looking forward to the opponent's arrival, because the reinforcements hidden behind Hu were meant to give the opponent the first blow.
As for the outside, they did everything they could.
