Not long after, news came that shocked the entire Da Qi court!
The three frontier states of Daqi were suddenly attacked by barbarians. Most of the cities in the three states were captured within three days. The life and death of Zhenman Gong Yuetai, who had guarded the frontier for more than a hundred years, was unknown. His three hundred Houtian warriors formed a close group.
The guards were completely wiped out.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the King of Qi quickly mobilized his army to rush to the three border states. He also sent envoys to report the news of the barbarian invasion to the three sects of Da Qi.
Yan Kingdom, Black Demon Sect.
Among the thirteen peaks of the Black Devil, each peak is taller than the last, and each peak is more dangerous than the last.
Peak No. 3 is even more towering, with almost no prominent edges visible from the mountainside.
Different from the bustling Peak No. 13, there are almost no people here from top to bottom, and there are no buildings. There is only a solitary black hall on the top of the peak, which exudes a cold atmosphere all the time.
The main hall was dimly lit, empty, and seemed quite deserted.
A man with sword eyebrows wearing a gold-rimmed black robe sat cross-legged in the center, with billowing black light emitting from his body, condensing into a black flame that seemed to be substantial, about ten feet high, and shrouding the whole person inside.
Suddenly, a bracelet on the sword-browed man's wrist suddenly emitted a faint black light. The thin runes of mosquitoes and flies in the black light danced and quickly condensed into a small circular array.
There was a flash of void in the magic circle, and a black jade slip the size of a palm appeared out of thin air.
The middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes, and without saying a word, he reached for the black jade slip and put it on his forehead.
The next moment, he raised his brows and all the black light on his body dissipated. He immediately stood up and hurriedly walked outside.
Almost at the same moment, a hall on another nearby mountain suddenly opened, and a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long black beard walked out with a stern expression, also holding a black jade slip in his hand...
The top of Peak No. 1 is shrouded in clouds and mist, the cold wind is howling, and it is covered with a thin layer of snow all year round.
In the vast white, there is a majestic black palace, which looks particularly eye-catching.
The entire palace is built using a spar that is as dark as the night sky. It is divided into three floors, gradually getting smaller from bottom to top.
Above the third floor of the palace, there is a huge slowly rotating ball. It emits bursts of dark light all the time, as if a huge black flame is burning inside, adding a bit of mystery to the entire palace.
In a meeting hall on the first floor of the palace, there are more than twenty large seats on both sides. They are basically full at the moment, except for the main seat in the middle.
Naturally, the only people who are qualified to sit here are the principal and deputy sect masters, the masters of various peaks, and the major elders.
Gu Hu, Ning Ping, and Jin Xiaocha, who had met Shi Mu and others that day, were all here.
However, these big figures in the Black Demon Sect had different expressions at the moment, looking at a side door in the hall from time to time.
There are people sitting on the left and right of the main seat, one of whom is the person called "Master Xie" that Shi Mu saw in the Spirit Code that day.
He was wearing a purple Confucian robe, which was covered with rune patterns. It exuded faint mana fluctuations. There was a sapphire thumb on his right thumb. He also held a purple staff made of an unknown material.
The top of the staff is inlaid with a purple crystal stone, which lights up with a purple electric light from time to time.
The sword-browed man sitting opposite him looked to be in his thirties, with sharp eyes, but his temples were slightly white, giving him a slightly aged look.
The people in the hall, headed by two people, were divided into two parts, the left and the right, and their expressions seemed to indicate that they were in separate groups.
At this moment, the figures in the side door were blurred, and an old man in black robes came out.
This man has a thin and dry body, a delicate face, and is dressed in a black robe. He looks simple and plain, and his manners are calm. There is nothing outstanding about him.
But as soon as this person walked into the hall, everyone in the hall immediately stood up.
"I have met the leader." Everyone bowed and saluted at the same time, with respectful expressions.
"Now is an extraordinary period. There is no need to be formal. Please sit down." The old man in black robe said calmly and sat down on the main seat.
Everyone sat down as instructed.
"The barbarians suddenly invaded in a large scale. In just a few days, they have occupied the three frontier states of Daqi. Even the life and death of Yuetai is unknown. It is expected that the situation is more serious." The old man in black robe said straight to the point without being verbose.
Everyone present looked at each other and said nothing for a moment.
"Junior Brother Xie, you are in charge of the communication circle within the sect and the outside world. How is the battle situation now? Are the sects of Da Qi taking any action?" The old man in black robe looked at the man named Xie and asked.
"Reporting to the leader, our sect has not planted many spies in the three states of Daqi's frontier fortress. There is no specific news yet. However, the three sects of Daqi have successively sent their disciples to the frontier fortress, and the Daqi dynasty has also set off three expeditions.
A hundred thousand troops were sent to three states to help." The man surnamed Xie sat up straight and said with cupped hands.
"In addition, I have contacted the three Daqi sects. Once they get specific information about the barbarians, they will send a message immediately." The man named Xie paused briefly and then added.
"Thank you, senior brother, although these are extraordinary times, but for important matters such as contacting other sects, according to the sect rules, you need to first obtain the consent of the sect leader or the great elder. It is too overstepping your authority for you to act on your own." The sword-browed man
Hearing this, he suddenly spoke, with an obvious accusation in his tone.
"The situation is urgent. Xie has taken the decision without permission. He is indeed suspected of overstepping his bounds. Please punish me, senior brother." Master Xie's expression did not change, and he bowed slightly towards the old man in black robes and said.
"It doesn't matter, these are extraordinary times, and there is nothing wrong with Xie Xie's move." The old man in black robe waved his hand.
Teacher Xie nodded slightly as a thank you.
A hint of coldness flashed in the sword-browed man's eyes, and he snorted lightly without saying anything more.
"As far as I know, the scale of the barbarian invasion and the speed of its actions are rare in a century. Its purpose is still unknown. You are the backbone of our Black Demon Sect. What do you think?" The old man in black robe sat down.
Sitting on the chair, he casually glanced at the people who were following him and asked.
"Brother, head, according to the agreement made by the seven sects of our Three Kingdoms, the barbarian invasion threatens all the races in our three countries. The seven sects must join forces to fight against the enemy. I think the top priority is to form an alliance with the other seven sect leaders as soon as possible, gather the strength of the sect, and rush to Daqi to resist the barbarians.
Invasion." The man named Xie said immediately, his voice sonorous and powerful.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were immediately seven or eight peak masters, and the elders responded and agreed.
The head of the Black Demon Sect nodded slowly and seemed to agree with the man named Xie's suggestion.
"Brother, the leader, although our seven major sects have this agreement, I don't think it is necessary to send reinforcements to Daqi immediately." The sword-browed man suddenly said.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall looked at him sideways.
The face of the man surnamed Xie opposite him darkened, and when he was about to speak, the head of the Black Demon Sect raised his hand slightly, blocking his next words.
"Junior Brother Feng, why did you say this? It's okay to say it." The old man in black robe said.
"As the head brother said just now, the purpose of this barbarian invasion is unknown. Maybe they are still the same as before, they just want to rob some materials and people. What I mean is not to refuse to rush for help, but I might as well wait for a while and wait and see.
Change, let the three sects of Da Qi fight with the barbarians first, and explore each other's true and false situation before making a decision." When the man with sword eyebrows and golden eyes said this, he sneered.
"Also, the head brother, could it be that I have forgotten that barbarians invaded our Shangqian County of Yan Kingdom five years ago and broke into several cities in more than ten days. In the end, it was our Black Demon Sect and Fenghuo Sect who joined forces to repel them. The three sects of Da Qi also
Not many people were sent for reinforcements." The man with golden eyes said coldly.
As soon as this was said, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and several people immediately nodded in agreement.
The head of the Black Demon Sect had no expression on his face and tapped the handle of the chair lightly with his fingers, as if he was moved by the sword-browed man's words.
"Brother, the leader, back then it was just a small tribe of barbarians who invaded. It was more than enough for the two sects of Yan Kingdom to deal with it. Today's situation is very different from five years ago. The barbarians are so ruthless this time. I'm afraid they have a plan. If not,
, How could Xinghe City be destroyed overnight! If we and the other seven sects are still fighting each other at this moment, I am afraid that they will be defeated by the barbarians one by one, and it will be too late by then!" The man named Xie's face changed, and he stood up in a hurry and said.
Seeing this, the sword-browed man quickly stood up and wanted to say something.
The top leaders of the Black Demon Sect are obviously divided into two major forces, one is led by the man surnamed Xie, and the other is led by the sword-browed man Feng Kongzi. The two sides are fighting overtly and secretly, and it has long been an open matter within the sect.
"Okay, you two don't have to argue anymore. Let's see what other people think." The leader of the Black Demon Sect frowned slightly and waved his hand.
The man surnamed Xie and Feng Kongzi looked at each other, snorted heavily, and sat down each.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a middle-aged man in black robe strode in, and said loudly and anxiously:
"Something bad has happened. Huo Yao, the great elder of the Xuanwu Sect, and Gongsun Yu, the great elder of the Tianyin Sect, are in trouble!"
"What's going on? Tell me slowly." The leader of the Black Demon Sect was startled and stood up hurriedly.
Everyone else was also surprised.
"Reporting to the head of Qi and the elder peak masters, we have just received news that Elder Huo Yao was retreating in the forbidden area in the gate, but he was killed by Mang Shang, the strongest barbarian who suddenly appeared! On the same day, Elder Gongsun was out.
, was attacked by several powerful barbarians of the earth level and was seriously injured. Although he successfully escaped back to the sect, his cultivation level was greatly damaged." The middle-aged man in black robe said loudly, his voice trembling.
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this.
The head of the Black Demon Sect also changed his expression and slowly sat down.
"Is the news true?" the man named Xie asked coldly.
"The news was sent back at the same time by our disciples who were stationed in Xuanwu Sect and Tianyin Sect. There is absolutely no mistake." The middle-aged man in black robe hesitated before saying.
The leader of the Black Demon Sect waved his hand gently and asked the middle-aged man to retreat.
Everyone in the hall looked extremely ugly, especially those of the Feng Kongzi group, who looked ugly and a little embarrassed. (To be continued ~^~)
