Six thousand Dragon Slayers and Manzi walked slowly following the guide, with Li Chengdao and Cheng Hui walking at the front.
They had been walking for many days and some began to complain that it was too far.
"arrive!"
The guide pointed to the high cliff not far away and shouted.
Li Chengdao looked over and saw that this cliff looked very familiar.
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Chengdao immediately remembered that he had been here with Gui Fei and Gao Qinhu.
That winter, the ghost fetus awakened Gao Qinhu from the curling kettle, and then came here to hunt, sucking the blood of the barbarians hiding here for the winter and turning them into ghost puppets.
Things in the world are so amazing. After going round and round, I am actually back here again.
"Great, it's finally here."
"You can rest now. I want to sleep for seven days and seven nights."
"Is there any meat to eat? I want to eat meat."
"If you eat shit, all the barbarians will run away."
"do not talk."
Li Chengdao was also very happy, finally finding a place to stay, although this place was once the place where he massacred barbarians.
Cheng Hui said happily: "Escape the winter here and wait until spring to find a solution."
Li Chengdao nodded and said, "Let everyone go in."
The Dragon Slayers and Manzi trotted into the cave under the cliff. Everyone was looking for a good place to sit down or lie down, or even sleep in the end.
Li Chengdao walked under the cave and found a lot of broken bones, which seemed to be bitten by wolves.
At that time, many barbarians died here, and the corpses were not cleaned up. When the wolves found out, they ate the remaining corpses, leaving bones and residue.
Li Chengdao looked at the scattered troops and sat down at the entrance of the cave.
Looking at the endless snow outside, Li Chengdao began to think about what to do next.
Things developed beyond his expectations, and he failed to take over the ghost army and become the new king of the ice field as he wished.
With only 6,000 men under his command, it would be too difficult to make a comeback.
Taking out a black stone from his sleeve and looking at the strange symbols engraved on it, Li Chengdao felt a little disturbed.
"emperor." r> When everyone settled down, Cheng Hui came over.
"sit down."
Li Chengdao glanced at the seat next to him, and Cheng Hui slowly sat down.
"Did the king ever suffer such a defeat back then?"
Li Chengdao still mentioned Wu Sheng by his honorific title because Cheng Hui was Wu Sheng's subordinate.
"Victory and defeat are common things for military strategists. The king has experienced it several times in the past, but he can get up again every time."
Cheng Hui followed Wu Sheng for a long time and witnessed every battle.
Li Chengdao asked: "Why can you make a comeback every time?"
Cheng Hui thought about it carefully and said: "The king is determined and will not admit defeat. Even if he is severely injured by Long Yuan and almost killed in battle, he can endure it and sleep for four hundred years."
"The other thing is that our subordinates believe in the king. No matter what kind of setbacks we encounter, we are willing to follow him."
Li Chengdao sighed: "The king's fighting spirit is still there, and the soldiers' morale has not faded, but now."
Now only Li Chengdao is still struggling. The ghost clan has already killed them. It is estimated that after returning, they will immediately seal the Storm Canyon and isolate the ice field from the Central Plains forever.
Under such circumstances, Li Chengdao could only rely on these 6,000 people.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Chengdao asked Cheng Hui. Cheng Hui thought for a long time and said: "The plan mentioned by the emperor is the best, and my subordinates can't think of a better way."
Li Chengdao held the stone and said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty annexed the world only a few years ago. The people of Xixia and Daliang do not agree with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The current situation can be maintained only by Long Chen."
"If Long Chen dies in battle and the empress dies, the situation of the world's three-point division will return again, and everything will be easy to say."
Cheng Hui understood what Li Chengdao meant. As long as Long Chen and the empress were killed in battle, things could be reversed.
But the question is, who can kill Long Chen, the empress?
"When I was in the Holy Realm, the King said that Xuanwu Jue was the highest skill. Now I have only practiced Devouring to be able to suppress Long Chen.
Empress, there is a Xuanwu clone on top of the swallow. In the next time, I will practice wholeheartedly. When the Xuanwu clone is completed, I can kill Long Chen, the Empress!"
The ghost army did not accept his leadership, and Li Chengdao's biggest reliance now was Xuanwu Jue.
After devouring the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, Li Chengdao could clearly feel that the two "fetuses" in his body were growing crazily. As long as he practiced for one winter, the Xuanwu clone could be made!
"Xuanwu clone? This is just a legend."
Cheng Hui has been following Wu Sheng for a long time, and he has heard about many secret things.
At that time, Li Yuanba practiced Xuanwu Jue, which was said to be the most powerful technique.
It's a pity that Li Yuanba has average qualifications and unstable mind. He can't refine Devour, nor can he become a martial saint. A first-class master like Long Yuan can only be reduced to a second-class general.
Before Li Chengdao refined Devouring, Cheng Hui even thought that Devouring was a fake. Only when Li Chengdao actually refined it did Cheng Hui realize that Xuanwu Jue was really powerful.
However, Cheng Hui was skeptical about the idea that there was a Xuanwu clone on top of the Xuanwu Jue.
The reason is very simple. If we say that the Xuanwu Jue has a clone of the Xuanwu Jue, it is equivalent to saying that the Xuanwu Jue surpasses the Ghost Shadow Technique and the Long Family Mental Technique.
Why did the Martial Saint teach such a powerful technique to Li Yuanba, and why didn’t he practice it himself?
Li Chengdao noticed Cheng Hui's doubts and slowly stood up and slowly untied his thick clothes.
"Your Majesty, this is it."
Cheng Hui saw that Li Chengdao's belly was swollen, like a woman who was ten months pregnant and about to give birth.
"The Xuanwu Jue does have a Xuanwu clone. When I was in Jinling, I started to condense fetal energy, but I didn't know what it was at that time. It wasn't until the king told me that the highest level of the Xuanwu Jue is the Xuanwu clone, that I suddenly realized it!"
"When the Xuanwu Jue breaks through the Emperor, it condenses the Xuanwu Fetal Qi in the body. This is just the beginning. If you want to cultivate the Xuanwu Clone, you must practice Devouring, and then continue practicing to become the Xuanwu Clone!"
"I have just refined Devouring and have not yet refined the Xuanwu clone. Your Majesty, the ghost girl is eager to attack Yanmen again. Guan takes revenge, finally."
Li Chengdao sighed slightly and continued: "If I wait until I become a Xuanwu clone and my cultivation level can completely surpass that of Long Chen and the Empress, the current situation will be completely different."
Li Chengdao only said that to become a Xuanwu clone, you need to practice Devouring first, but he did not say that you need to devour a master before you can become a Xuanwu clone.
Cheng Hui was unaware of this and had no doubts about what Li Chengdao said.
"Is the Emperor about to break through now?"
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said: "I am confident that after this winter, I will be able to refine the Xuanwu clone. By then, Long Chen and the empress will be nothing more than a native chicken and a dog's ears!"
This is not bragging, Li Chengdao has such confidence, and when he becomes the Xuanwu clone, Long Chen, the empress will be a scumbag.
Cheng Hui said happily: "As long as we kill Long Chen, the empress, the Eastern Zhou army will be vulnerable!"
Just like the ghost tribe's army, even though they were large in number, after the Martial Saint and the ghost girl were defeated by Long Chen, the ghost tribe was defeated like a mountain.
When Li Chengdao kills Long Chen and the empress, the final result will be the same.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let the ghost clan and Long Chen fight first, I want to concentrate on cultivating a breakthrough."
"The Dragon Slayer Army is resting here. Over at Yanmen Pass and Hera Pass, we have to trouble General Cheng to find out the news."
Li Chengdao plans to hide here and practice, but he still needs to know the news from the outside world, especially the news about Long Chen.
The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
Li Chengdao needs to know the news from both sides to determine his actions after the beginning of spring.
"The last general has issued an order and will set off in three days!"
Cheng Hui also needs a rest, and his spies are also very tired.
Fortunately, there are still some informants left at Yanmen Pass, so we only need to send people to the Black Forest.
"Okay, I'm going to start practicing, no one is allowed to disturb me."
After saying that, Li Chengdao jumped up and flew to the top of the thousand-meter-high mountain.
There was also thick snow on the top of the cliff. Li Chengdao got into the snow, and his true energy condensed into a turtle shield. The snow froze the turtle shield into an igloo. Li Chengdao sat down in it and began to practice attentively.
