"I'm here!" Duanmu Hongdao, who was a great sage, immediately appeared in front of him.
Duanmu Hongdao is a veteran of the divine sect. As early as two thousand years ago when the Tianping divine sect launched its army, he was in the right position to inspect the teaching position.
Almost all the powerful men at the level of the great sages of Shenzhou come from the martial nobles. The very few great sages like Duanmu Hongdao who come from poor families are all "black".
Duanmu Hongdao is an old man from the Yisheng sect, so he has been idle in the sect for many years. Among the seven martial sage generals that Jiang Yao poached from the divine sect, Duanmu Hongdao has the highest cultivation level and the strongest military skills.
"Leave the army under your command and continue to pursue Li Xingce." Jiang Yao ordered, giving him the army general seal.
"Okay." Duanmu Hongdao took the military seal.
Jiang Yao called the name again: "Zhi Cheng!"
"I'm here!" Zhi Cheng, who was already a Formation Saint Master, came to Jiang Yaoma.
"Shi Zai, let's go first and go to the Valley of Lost Souls." After Jiang Yao said that, he grabbed Zhi Cheng and used a teleportation technique.
By this time, Jiang Yao had already mastered the great escape technique, and had awakened to the even more powerful magical power of teleportation. He brought a living person from Zhi Cheng to the Valley of Lost Souls in an instant.
With such magical power, even Duanmu Hongdao secretly smacked his lips.
He was sure that the strength of Jiang Yao, a second-level martial saint, was not inferior to that of a great saint like himself!
When Jiang Yao brought Zhi Cheng to the Valley of Lost Souls, Li Xingce's army had not arrived yet. Calculating, it would take at least an hour to arrive.
As soon as the two of them entered the deep and dark Valley of Lost Souls, Zhi Cheng sensed it immediately. "Lord, there are many powerful natural trapping and killing formations here."
Jiang Yao nodded, "Yes. That's why I brought you here to use the natural trapping and killing formation here to set up a formation that can be controlled by us and strangle Li Xingce who passes by here."
After he finished speaking, he sacrificed a natural formation mother, "Do you remember this formation mother? This magic weapon was the treasure you risked your life to get from the natural formation tomb. Today, it finally comes in use."
Treasures such as the Natural Formation Mother cannot be underestimated even by the ginger medicine that awakens memories. Zhi Cheng was able to obtain it back then only because he was an array spirit body.
"This..." Zhi Cheng suddenly looked troubled, "My lord, although we have a natural formation mother, if we transform the natural formation in the Valley of Lost Souls into a large formation domain, I, a holy formation master, simply cannot do it."
"According to my perception, at least two holy formation masters are needed, and then using the natural formation mother, we can barely do it. However, I only have one holy formation master here."
You can count the holy formation masters in the entire Western Region on one hand, and one of them is himself.
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Shizai is worrying too much. I am also a Holy Formation Master, and with Shizai and you, it should be enough."
What?!
"My lord, you..." Zhi Cheng looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion.
My Lord is a famous master of martial arts and medicine in Shenzhou. He is already a Medicine Saint and a Martial Saint before he is fifty years old. This is already a talent of creation.
However, the lord is actually a Holy Formation Master? How is this possible?
The Lord is a Medicine Saint because he has a Medicine Spirit Body, but the Holy Formation Master...if he were not a Formation Spirit Body, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to develop.
He couldn't understand it at all.
How did Zhi Shizai know that this lord was a ninth-level immortal formation master in his previous two lives?
Not only the formation, he was also a ninth-level immortal talisman master, ninth-level pharmacist, ninth-level weapon master, and ninth-level weapon immortal in his previous life!
Among the nine paths of martial arts, medicine, talismans, formations, weapons, soldiers, agriculture, music, and hexagrams, he has seven paths that are considered immortal and two that are considered genuine.
By inheriting the memory inheritance, Jiang Yao can also become a seventh-level array mage.
Jiang Yao saw that Zhi Cheng was in disbelief, so he casually played a formation technique, which was mysterious and unpredictable. Zhi Cheng was immediately shocked when he saw Jiang Yao's formation technique.
Holy Array Master!
The Lord is indeed a Holy Formation Master, and his attainments in the Formation Dao are by no means worse than his own Formation Spirit Body.
this…
Zhi Shizai simply couldn't understand why there was such an eternal genius like his lord in the world.
"My lord, my lord, my lord, I really admire you so much that I can't express it in words...my lord, my lord..." Zhi Shizai, who had not stuttered for many years, once again found it difficult to speak.
"Haha!" Jiang Yao laughed when he saw this. He patted Zhi Cheng on the shoulder, "Did you scare Shi Zai? It's my fault. Well, my talent for formations is definitely not as good as yours."
Jiang Yao laughed while performing a few tricks, annihilating several poisonous soul shadows in the blink of an eye.
The poisonous soul shadows in the Valley of Lost Souls are very powerful and can kill the souls of living people. They are so numerous that they are difficult to guard against. If not for the protection of Jiang Yao, Zhi Cheng would have been taken away by the poisonous soul shadows long ago.
Of course, although the Valley of Lost Souls is dangerous, those with strong martial arts skills can still protect themselves enough. If a large army passes through, even if the losses are serious, the entire army will not be wiped out.
"Thank you, Lord." It was only then that Zhi Cheng realized that his Lord had saved his life.
The ginger medicine stimulated the natural formation mother, and when he was about to communicate with Zhi Cheng about the natural formation here, he suddenly sneered.
"Shi Zai, someone is coming."
After saying that, he used a gesture to hide himself and Zhi Cheng.
As soon as the two of them became invisible, three figures landed nearby.
Two of them are generals of the alliance with martial saint cultivation, and one is an formation saint master with martial god cultivation.
"Is the general too cautious?" said the Martial Saint General, "How could there be an ambush here? It's absolutely impossible."
"If there is, the ambush will not wait for us, and we will suffer heavy losses. Besides, where does Jiang Yao still have the troops to ambush here? Even if there is, can he still calculate so accurately?"
The Formation Saint Master with martial god cultivation shook his head:
"Master Xue is wrong. The natural formations here are so dense, it can be said to be full of dangers. If there are two or three holy formation masters, and there are treasures such as natural formation mothers, they can use the natural formations to set up a dragnet!"
Zhi Cheng, who was invisible by Jiang Yao, immediately recognized that the Holy Formation Master was the number one Formation Taoist in the Western Region, Nie Xuanqi.
Commander Xue said, "Even if Jiang Yao's calculation is so accurate, where can he find two or three holy formation masters? If he takes ten thousand steps back, even if he can find two or three holy formation masters so quickly, where will he find the natural formation mother?"
"Sage Nie, although I am not a formation saint, I know that the natural formation mother is an acquired spiritual treasure. How can I possess it so easily? It's not that coincidental."
Another Martial Saint also shook his head: "The general is indeed too cautious. How could Jiang Yao use the natural formations here to set a trap? Go back and report."
Nie Xuanqi looked around and around, but found no trace or anything suspicious, and then nodded, "Go back and report."
After that, the three of them left together through the air and disappeared in an instant.
"Lord, they leave. We..." Zhi Cheng said.
Jiang Yao shook his head, "I'm not busy, I have time. Just wait."
He remained invisible for more than half a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, the space moved, and three figures reappeared, extremely unexpectedly.
Surprisingly, Nie Zhen Sheng, Xue Junzhu and others came here not long ago.
"Is there really no one there?" The three people checked again and looked at each other.
It turns out that the previous conversations between the three of them were all acting. The purpose was to test whether Jiang Yao had sent a holy formation master.
Then leave, and then suddenly come back with a shot.
If any abnormality is discovered, immediately send a warning to Li Xingce so that the army will not enter the Valley of Lost Souls.
But fortunately, no problems were found this time.
"Let's go." Nie Xuanqi took a final look under a big tree and shook his head, "We are overthinking."
Immediately, the three of them broke through the air again and left.
"My lord is wise. If my lord hadn't been cautious, we would have been discovered." Zhi Cheng admired his lord with all his heart.
Zhi Cheng said this and was about to walk out when he heard Jiang Yao say: "Wait a minute."
What? Could it be that those three people would fight again to fight back?
Jiang Yao pointed to the big tree hundreds of miles away, "Before, Saint Nie Zhen walked around under the big tree. Take a closer look."
Zhi Cheng was already at the martial arts level. He concentrated his consciousness and carefully examined the big tree hundreds of miles away, and immediately found a section of gray dead branches.
This gray dead branch is not a real branch at all, but an induction array disk.
If Zhi Cheng hadn't been a formation saint, he wouldn't have been able to tell that it was an induction formation disk.
With this natural formation disk here, as long as someone changes the natural formation here and arranges an ambush, Nie Formation Saint will be able to sense it immediately, and Li Xingce will know it.
Thanks to the lord's reminder, otherwise, he would never have imagined that Nie Xuanqi had secretly left a disguised induction array disc.
Zhi Cheng suddenly smiled bitterly, "Li Xingce, Nie Xuanqi and others are so cunning, they were fooled accidentally."
Jiang Yao looked indifferent, "How can he be careless? The 80,000 troops he leads are the largest elite of the Western Regions martial arts. In order to preserve these soldiers, Li Xingce cannot be too cautious."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he grabbed it with a handprint.
He did not grab the induction array, but used medicinal methods combined with array methods to "treat" the induction array disk.
Soon, Jiang Yao had Zhi Cheng stunned, and the "treatment" changed the rules of the induction array.
That induction array disk suddenly became "blind" and "deaf".
Moreover, it can also prevent Nie Xuanqi from sensing this change.
The lord's methods were too powerful. Zhi Cheng's heart was filled with turmoil. Since the lord's return this time, his cultivation has been completely transformed, and he has become more and more powerful.
After completely disabling the induction array, Jiang Yao and Zhi Cheng arranged the arrangement together.
The monarch and his minister sacrificed the natural formation mother and performed mysterious formation techniques together to communicate and sense the natural formation here.
Natural formations, large and small, such as the killing formation, the trapping formation, the ecstasy formation, the poisonous miasma formation, the phantom formation, etc., all appeared slowly and densely under the magical power of the two formations.
The two of them cooperated with each other to lead the mystery of the infinite formation, and the entire Valley of Lost Souls was filled with formations.
At this moment, the two of them are really indispensable.
At the same time, the natural formation mother gradually connected all the natural formations under the formation Daoyun of the two people, and finally became the formation center of all natural formations.
This is the power of the natural formation mother.
Natural formations are originally difficult to control.
But the two of them controlled all the natural formations through the natural formation mother. As long as they used a formation technique, they could activate the natural formation and mobilize the natural formations here.
It took the monarch and his ministers half an hour to complete the formation and then went into hiding again.
After more than half an hour, Li Xingce finally led an army of 80,000 to arrive outside the Valley of Lost Souls.
The veteran looked at the Valley of Lost Souls sandwiched between two peaks, with a worried look on his face.
Although after reaction detection and the induction array plate was hidden, no abnormality was found, he was still uneasy.
Even when he came, he hesitated, hesitated, and found himself in a dilemma.
"General, let's leave quickly." Seeing Li Xingce's hesitation, Lord Zhao and others couldn't help but become anxious.
The Yuan Lord also sighed: "General, although the Valley of Lost Souls is dangerous, the losses will not be too great. But if we don't go through the Valley of Lost Souls, we will have no choice but to climb over the mountain."
All the generals looked solemn.
Climbing the mountain is more dangerous.
There are waves of void beasts, void turbulence, and sudden appearance of cold regions and void whirlpools on the mountain peaks. The whole army is likely to be annihilated.
Relatively speaking, it is much safer to go out through the valley.
Seeing that all the generals were focused on entering the valley, there was nothing they could do about it, and there was no other better way. In addition, the Ming army's pursuers were getting closer and closer, so they could only order: "The whole army is entering the valley, beware of the natural formation restrictions.
"
Immediately, all 80,000 troops entered the valley.
Half an hour after entering the valley, there were constant casualties among soldiers, but there was no great danger.
The coalition generals couldn't help but feel more relieved.
Well, it seems that we can pass through this crisis-ridden Valley of Lost Souls with a maximum loss of 10,000 people.
But at this moment, there was suddenly a strange fluctuation in the space, and there were faint formations.
Nie Xuanqi's face suddenly changed drastically!
"The general is not good! He was fooled..."
But before the Nie Zhen sage finished his words, he heard a loud "boom boom" sound, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, and the two peaks were falling.
The entire space was suddenly filled with murderous intent, and the sky was filled with black mist. Countless natural formations were launched like thunder, and they continued continuously, like a punishment from heaven to destroy the world.
It was too late, but it was too late. Jiang Yaojunchen had just activated the natural mother formation and launched an attack. The next moment, the entire space gave birth to a huge formation domain.
The remaining coalition forces were caught off guard and had no time to react before being enveloped by the giant formation.
Li Xingce reacted very quickly, and at the same time as the formation was activated, he also activated the military seal.
"Broken Domain Formation! Broken!"
The coalition's battle field immediately emerged, blocking the huge natural formation.
Li Xingce is truly a famous general in the world. He was suddenly ambushed, but he was still able to activate the coalition's battlefield in the shortest time.
Unfortunately, there are too many natural formations here. Under the arrangement of the Natural Formation Mother and Jiang Yaojunchen, the power is far more powerful than that of the 80,000 coalition army battlefield.
Jiang Yao used natural formations and almost borrowed the power of heaven and earth to kill the coalition forces.
"Boom boom—"
"Kaka—"
In just one round, the coalition battle field was under the natural formation, cracked like an eggshell, and disintegrated instantly.
"It's over..."
Under the formation, everyone from Li Xingce to a soldier with martial arts cultivation was imprisoned by the formation.
Even with such a cultivation level, Li Xingce was suppressed under the control of the formation domain, making it difficult for him to use his magical powers to escape.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Xingce suddenly laughed, "I have been on the battlefield for more than three thousand years, but I am completely defeated today! I know that there are natural formations here that may be exploited, but I still lead my army here, it's my fate!"
The generals were shocked and angry, but under the overwhelming natural formation, even if they were strong warriors, they could not escape through the air.
Neither the teleportation talisman nor the magical teleportation power can break through the natural formation.
Lord Zhao sternly said: "Jiang Zhongda! Come out!"
"Child Jiang Yao!" Lord Yuan yelled with an angry look, "Even if we perish, you will not be able to escape death after all!"
I saw ripples in the air, and a young man appeared in the air. The young man looked down at the coalition forces calmly and chanted:
"It's hard to turn back in the Valley of Lost Souls. The 80,000 allied troops are captured in one fell swoop. The Wu family hates the moon and the moon, and the fighting spirit weeps at night in the autumn of the mountains."
After chanting, he shook his feather fan slightly and said: "Li Xingce, you are right, time is also destiny. Today you have entered my nest, and I borrow the land of heaven and earth to control your life and death in a single thought."
"It is no longer your choice to surrender or not to surrender."
Li Xingce's hair suddenly became desolate and white.
"I have been a noble member of the martial arts family for generations and a general of Shenzhou. How can I surrender to you, a traitor from a humble family?" Li Xingce smiled miserably, "Jiang Zhongda, so what if you occupy the Western Region?"
"There is the Great Zhou Dynasty in the east and Mo Liang in the west. They are both great powers in the world. How long can you be so arrogant?"
"You were also born in the Wu family and received favors from the Wu family, but you turned your back on a poor family. Why is this? Jiang Zhongda, why is this?"
Having said this, Li Xingce spoke harshly and was furious. He pointed his halberd at the ginger medicine and looked distressed.
"You are a genius of the Divine Continent and of noble birth. Why do you want to go against the grain and disrupt the Divine Continent?!"
The Lord of Wei also shouted: "Jiang Yao! Look at this world, who else is from a poor country! You are a nobleman of Jiang Zong, the son-in-law of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and your path is as good as heaven, why do you want to rebel!"
Jiang Yao looked into the void, his voice as cold as ice, "What do you know? Do you know what will happen to this world if it continues? Apart from your own path and power, what else do you care about?"
"It has been more than 200,000 years. The Wu family's world has been too long for so long that the law of heaven has abandoned the Wu family."
"Only you...only you are still sitting on the high platform, enslaving the world, and being proud and arrogant."
"The way of heaven is vast and vast. Whoever obeys it will perish. Those who go against it will perish. I took the land of several counties and tens of thousands of soldiers to rise from Qiunan. It is unstoppable. Do you know why?"
"That's because I have figured out the secrets of heaven and the general trend, and have been protected by the way of heaven. What is the way of heaven? When heaven hears, it means the people listen, and when heaven sees, it means the people see."
"In the future, it will not be the Wu family that will protect the world, but the humble family. It will not be you, but the few."
"You don't understand, and you won't understand until you die."
Of course Jiang Yao's words were not meant for Li Xingce and others. These people are too stubborn and cannot be moved by words.
He was telling the coalition soldiers to listen and brainwash them.
After all, most of these soldiers came from poor families.
When they heard Jiang Yao's words, they all looked thoughtful.
At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard outside, and it was Duanmu Hongdao's Ming army who caught up.
Once the 100,000 Ming troops arrived, the 80,000 allied troops became a turtle in the urn.
Duanmu Hongdao and other Ming army generals were extremely impressed when they saw their lord using natural formations to trap 80,000 troops in the Valley of Lost Souls.
Is this okay?
When the coalition general saw one hundred thousand Ming troops chasing him, his face turned ashen.
Completely finished.
The whole army is wiped out, and it is difficult to fly with wings.
"Hahaha!" Li Xingce laughed, and suddenly a strong aura of death emitted from his body, "Jiang Zhongda, what you said is righteous and majestic, but you are too childish."
"You don't know how powerful the martial arts family is in the world. Even if it's the Charming Tapir Barbarian Tribe, it's the nobles who make the decision. Every country is your enemy. You can't succeed or grow..."
He pointed at the ginger medicine, and suddenly his body tilted and he fell off the horse, annihilating his life and committing suicide.
"Haha!" Master Zhao and others laughed miserably together, extinguishing all hope of life.
More than a dozen Martial Saint generals from the coalition forces, including Lord Zhao, Lord Wei, and Lord Yuan, all annihilated their vitality and committed suicide!
Generals at the level of Martial Saint, Quasi-Sage and Martial Immortal also committed suicide one after another!
For a time, the strong men of the coalition army fell like rain!
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army were all horrified!
Jiang Yao's face also looked a little ugly.
These people would rather commit suicide than surrender themselves.
So many powerful human beings, including a dozen martial saints, and such precious high-end combat power of the human race, were just gone.
such a pity.
It is difficult to stop Ginger Yao.
He can trap the other party, but cannot prevent the other party from dying.
"Those who don't surrender will die!" Duanmu Hongdao shouted.
The 80,000 coalition troops dismounted one after another, put down their weapons and military soul cards, and took off their armor.
Those who descend are like clouds!
However, there are still more than 20,000 people who would rather die than surrender.
These people are almost all pro-soldiers who have followed Li Xingce and others for many years. They are the most die-hard loyalists, with higher backgrounds and the highest cultivation levels. They are all fed by the resources of the Wu family.
Not only did they refuse to surrender, they also glared at the Ming army.
"You won't surrender?" Jiang Yao's face suddenly darkened when he saw that there were more than 20,000 people who would rather die than surrender.
More than 20,000 coalition troops shouted, waved their weapons and weapons in vain, and shouted and made noises.
"Kill!" Duanmu Hongdao gave the order. As soon as the Ming army soldiers moved into battle, more than 20,000 allied troops who refused to surrender fell one after another.
Rivers of blood!
The remaining more than 50,000 coalition troops all surrendered and were taken to the rear to be selected and replenished to the Ming army.
Later, Jiang Yao led his army out of Lost Soul Valley and invaded Xunzhou.
The main force of the Ming army was divided into three groups in Xunzhou: Jiang Yao marched west, Duanmu Hongdao marched north, and Qin Yu marched northeast.
The Ming army's offensive was like a tiger. In just one month, they captured Xinzhou, Tingzhou, and Jeju!
Everywhere you go, it's like entering an uninhabited land, with the vast number of poor families roaring with joy and thunder, and the heaven and earth are overjoyed.
The nobles of the Wu family, on the other hand, were miserable and in panic all day long.
In one month, as many as ninety-two martial clans were destroyed by the Ming army!
It was not until Eshui was reached in the west, Yanshan in the north, and Tianhuang River in the northeast that the Ming army had to stop and digest the results of the battle.
In one month, the military power covers millions of miles!
With the addition of Xunzhou, the Ming Dynasty had swallowed up four states like a whirlwind. The Ming Kingdom suddenly owned seven states and more than 300 counties, and became the overlord of the Western Regions.
The Ming Dynasty's consecutive victories and strong rise not only changed the Western Regions, shook the Divine Continent, but even the demon and witch kingdoms all turned their attention!
It was in this manner that Duke Jiang Yao of the Ming Dynasty officially joined the ranks of the princes of the world!
