Chapter 497 Sneak attack on Shanhaikou! (Third update! Please subscribe!)
The Marigold Bee Queen is a fourth-level cultivator of the Venerable. A bee queen who has practiced the Formless Divine Art, she transforms into a human form, and there are no clues at all.
Lan Chenguang and others had long known that Fang Liang, who was transformed into Shen Zhui, had conquered many venerable-level slaves.
But even so, when the Marigold Bee Queen and the third-level Venerable Snow Fox appeared, Lan Chenguang and the two Jinwu Guard commanders were still severely shocked.
The fourth-level soul slave of the Venerable, and he penetrated Bian Nan's array defense with one blow, which is simply unbelievable!
What's even more exaggerated is the inhumanly beautiful and charming woman. After Bian Nan was injured, a stream of soul energy passed through the void. She was clearly an illusion practitioner!
You must know that there are only four illusion practitioners among the Jinwu Guards sent here this time, and there is only one person who follows Lan Chenguang.
You can imagine how rare practitioners of illusion are.
However, the young man in front of him actually enslaved a fourth-level Venerable and a third-level Venerable illusion practitioner?
Shen Zhui stood still, quietly waiting for Queen Bee and Xue Hu to deal with Bian Nan.
The venom from the queen bee sting made Bian Nan unable to move, and the poison spread to his soul.
Snow Fox's charm technique was activated, and Bian Nan, who had already fought a battle, had his soul defense broken through very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he became weak.
Lan Chenguang asked: "Do you want help?"
"No need." Shen Zhui smiled. "The snow fox is enough."
"Yeah." Lan Chenguang nodded and said nothing more.
A quarter of an hour later, the chasing army came back one after another.
"Two people died, and the rest were destroyed." Fang Ziyou appeared in front of Shen Zhui with a tired face.
"Old Fang, are you okay?" Shen asked.
"It's okay, just take a rest." Fang Ziyou found a corner and sat down cross-legged and began to recover.
"How's the fighting situation on your side?" Shen Zhui looked at Lan Chenguang again.
His soul servant is slightly weaker than the venerable one on Lan Chenguang's side.
"No one on my side died in the battle, and five people were injured." Lan Chenguang said.
"A total of four of the Lord's servants died." Shen Zhui said.
"The Zhou Dynasty is not allowed to bring soul servants. If you die in this battle, it will be clean."
Shen Zhui squinted his eyes and said, "Young Master Lan has a huge fortune, so of course he doesn't feel bad about it. Do you know how much a Venerable-level slave can be sold for on the black market?"
"Ahem... So you are worried about money." Lan Chenguang said, patting his chest. "This is easy to handle. What do you lack? After this battle, come to my Lan family as a guest, and my grandfather will get it for you. If it doesn't work, my wife will Stick it on for you."
"Brother Lan, your abacus is making a lot of noise." Shen Zhui looked at Lan Chenguang with a half-smile. "You want me to be a guest at the Lan family? That's okay. I still have more than 10,000 lucky coins. Give it to me. Let’s make a contract with the gods.”
"..." Lan Chenguang was immediately speechless.
But when he saw that Shen Zhui didn't look like he was joking, he suddenly took another breath of cold air.
"You, you can't be serious."
"Does this officer seem to be joking?"
"I really can't understand you." Lan Chenguang sighed with emotion. "You can spend so much money on a magical power level... Could it be that you bought these slaves of the Lord?"
"roll!"
Lan Chenguang smiled dumbly.
The generals standing behind the two men looked at Shen Zhui and Lan Chenguang talking and laughing without any scruples. They immediately looked at each other, extremely curious about Shen Zhui.
Lan Chenguang's status, talent, and strength are all self-evident. However, the young man in front of him was able to be so close to Lan Chenguang, and he was vaguely dominated by Shen Zhui's opinions, which simply shocked the Lan family.
"Who is this person and why does the young master value him so much?"
"Our Qingzhou Army has many secret spies. This person definitely cannot come from our Qingzhou Army."
"Is it the genius of the Jizhou Army? As far as I know, among the younger generation, there is no one in the Jizhou Army who can be on an equal footing with the young master."
"Wu'an Army, there is a powerful general in Wu'an Army, but he also appeared in Canglan River yesterday. It can't be him..."
"Shh~ Young Master, if you don't tell me, it proves that this is a secret. We'd better not ask any more questions."
"rational."
When all the pursuers returned, Xue Hu slowly opened his eyes.
She was dripping with fragrance, her face was red and she ran to Shen Zhui's side and said, "Master, it's okay."
"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded and said to Lan Chenguang, "Wait a moment."
"Please." Lan Chenguang stretched out his hand.
The process of controlling Bian Nan was very easy. He was surrounded and suppressed by the Qingzhou Army, corroded by the venom of the Queen Bee sting, and then was destroyed by the Snow Fox and hypnotized by the soul defense.
Now that Shen is chasing after him, he only needs to use the Ten Thousand Hearts and Soul Control Art to control him.
Shen Zhui didn't see any movement. A burst of mist rose up from Bian Nan's body, and the Marigold Bee Queen retracted its stinger. After a moment, Bian Nan stood up and knelt down in front of Shen Zhui: "Master."
Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank. Shen Zhui actually successfully controlled a fourth-level venerable.
Especially the two Jinwu Guard commanders. Among them, the Jinwu Guard commander named Tangshan was a little surprised and said: "Commander Yang, you are relatively familiar with the Liang Kingdom, have you ever heard of such a number one person?"
Yang Jian shook his head and said: "I haven't returned to Liang for 123 years. This person has obviously risen recently. I don't know him."
"The woman who can control the fourth-level servants of the Venerable and who is good at illusions is no less capable than me... This person is definitely not simple."
"You and I can just follow the orders and carry out the tasks. There is no need to inquire too much."
"Yes." Tangshan nodded.
…………
The Dragon Roc warship was flying over the wilderness.
At this moment, inside the warship, Lan Chenguang and Shen Zhui were looking at a map in front of them.
"The war between the two sides involves the True God. All space channels will become extremely unstable and difficult to survive."
"The headquarters of the sect alliance is in the Nine Nether Realm. If you want to compete with me, the Great Zhou, for the land of the Great Thousand World, you must transport strategic materials across the border."
"So the most stable space teleportation array will be activated."
"In a big battle, recovering treasures, huge formation equipment, and mobilizing personnel are all a terrifying number. And many of them cannot be put into the storage ring or the cave world, so people must be sent to transport them."
"Shanhaikou is one of the channels for the sect alliance to transport supplies."
"Destroying this teleportation array will cause a section of the front line to lose support in a short period of time. Rebuilding it will not be possible without ten days and a half."
"That's why my uncle ordered us to make a surprise attack on Shanhaikou." Lan Chenguang introduced.
Shen Zhui nodded: "Is there any military deployment at Shanhaikou? Such an important place may be guarded by a large number of strong men."
"There are strong people, but they won't exceed a certain limit." Lan Chenguang shook his head.
"There are Black Turtle City and Jackdaw City in front of Shanhaikou. Thousands of miles further, there are strong men from Tianjue Sect fighting with my uncle."
"Even if you are not at ease, sending a Venerable to protect it is a big deal, and there will never be a high-level Venerable unless there are countless masters in the sect world."
Shen Zhui nodded, indeed. Experts have their uses.
When the front line of defense is already strong enough, the transportation team sent from behind cannot be stronger than the people on the front line. Unless there are really enough strong people.
If there are really more powerful people than Da Zhou, then just push them across.
The high-level Venerables are the heads of first-class sects. They are at the head level. They are used to guard a teleportation array. They are really overqualified and underused.
In the early stages of the war, this situation will basically not occur. Only in the middle and late stages, when a decline occurs, will the path to retreat be absolutely guaranteed to be smooth.
However, according to what Lan Chenguang said, the protective power of Shanhaikou is not too weak. There are about twenty venerables guarding it, and there must be an intermediate-level venerable standing guard.
"In addition, the sect alliance also has a mobile team from Judgment City." Lan Chenguang said. "This team is led by the Supreme Lord and is used to remedy various situations."
"In case the teleportation array at the rear is attacked, the people inside the teleportation array will immediately call for help, and the rescue team will come immediately to eliminate the hidden danger."
"However, the sect alliance has many teleportation formations, and the distances are very far. As long as the sneak attack is sharp enough, they can evacuate before support arrives."
"Originally, my uncle wanted to catch the Shanhai Teleportation Formation off guard, but it's hard to say now." Lan Chenguang said. "Now that Tianjuezong knows our intentions, no matter how hard they can't spare manpower, the defense of Shanhaikou will definitely fail." will be strengthened.”
"But there is still a chance." Shen Zhui pointed at the map and immediately enlarged a yellow light mask. From within the light mask, a huge stone gate could be vaguely seen, similar to the mountain gate he had seen before at Guiyuan Sect. But it's even more majestic.
"In the battle between Earth Evil and Feihuo, no one escaped."
"When the spiritual communication cannot be used, neither the Tian Jue Sect nor the defenders at Shanhaikou know what the situation is like here."
"As long as we can deceive the barrier guarding the teleportation array and attack from the inside, we can save a lot of time, kill all the defenders, destroy the teleportation array, and leave before the strong ones arrive."
Lan Hai smiled and looked at Bian Nan who was beside Shen Zhui and said: "We have spent so much effort to prevent him from self-destructing. I hope he will not let us down."
Bian Nan said respectfully: "Don't worry, General Lan, I will definitely help the master fulfill his wish."
"It's up to you, Bian Nan." Shen Zhui also took a deep breath.
The reason why they killed the others and left only Bian Nan was because Bian Nan's weight was enough!
First, Tian Jue Sect is the main fighting sect this time, and Venerable Tian Jue is the joint commander.
Secondly, Bian Nan's cultivation level is the fourth level of the Venerable, and his status in the Tianjue Sect is not low. Moreover, he is involved in the weapon refining formation. Due to the shortage of materials for the formation, he happens to be the best candidate to pass through the teleportation formation. .
Thirdly, there are people from Tianjue Sect guarding the teleportation array, which greatly reduces the difficulty.
If he were the white-faced scholar or Fang Liang, his identity would not be enough in terms of status or realm.
"Everyone." Lan Chenguang said solemnly. "After this, everything will be based on Brother Shen's orders. His orders are equal to my orders. Do you understand?"
"yes."
…………
Shanhaikou is a vast and flat basin.
In the center of the basin, there is a temporary city, surrounding a huge stone gate.
There is a watchtower outside the city, with a wide field of vision that allows people within the teleportation array to see every move for hundreds of miles around, preventing errors in spiritual detection.
Arriving outside Shanhaikou, Shen Zhui transferred to Bian Nan's Ye Xiao warship.
He restored the appearance of Fang Liang, the head of Qingyang, and Lan Chenguang's people were all masters of concealment, and now they all looked like members of the Qingxin Sect.
However, the number of people has decreased a lot, from seventy to thirty-eight. The remaining ones who cannot hide and disguise themselves are hiding in the cave world, ready to go.
When everything was ready, the Night Owl warship slowly sailed outside the Shanhaikou.
"Who is it?" A low shout came from the watchtower, and a figure issued a warning from the opposite side.
"Gu Taoist, it's me! Tian Jue Sect Bian Nan." Bian Nan flew out from the Ye Xiao warship. "How come you are guarding the watchtower?"
"Elder Bian Nan?" The Guardian Bone Taoist obviously recognized Bian Nan. "Elder Mingshan, Sect Master Fang, White-faced Scholar...ah, I'm a newly transferred person."
Looking at the people getting off the warship one by one, the guardian was suddenly shocked. "Didn't you go to intercept Da Zhou's team?"
"They've all been killed!" Bian Nan was furious, and his look made the skinny Taoist in front of him tremble.
"So that's it." Bone Taoist nodded, but still had no intention of letting Bian Nan get closer, but asked vigilantly. "Then what is the purpose of the elder coming here?"
"I was worried that the evil bandits of the Zhou Dynasty still had their troops undiscovered, and there were too few defenders at Shanhaikou, so I came here to have a look." Bian Nan said in a deep voice. "By the way, this battle is too expensive, so I need to come here. Add some array materials."
"The garrison has increased a bit, but... the elder wants to enter the city?" Bone Taoist said vigilantly: "Without the commander's order, I can't make the decision on this matter."
"I didn't let you make the decision, you can just report it." Bian Nan said impatiently.
"Here, please wait a moment, Elder Bian." Bone Taoist said quickly. Then he quickly flew from the watchtower into the city.
Seeing the Bone Taoist coming in to report, Shen Zhui, Lan Chenguang and others were also slightly nervous.
It seems that the garrison at Shanhaikou has indeed increased, and even the watchtower has been replaced by a Venerable First Order one.
The previous intelligence is basically invalid. Now we can only take one step at a time and act according to the situation.
"Boom~" After a while, a large number of venerables flew out from the city at Shanhaikou, their aura spread out, ready to attack, and they looked alert.
This scene made Shen Zhui and Lan Chenguang's hearts sink.
The number of people in this group in front of me has exceeded thirty-five, and there are still many people in the city. Especially in terms of momentum, they are much stronger. The defenders are at least twice as strong as before!
And when the figure at the front came out carrying a long coffin, Shen Zhui's pupils shrank.
"Chang Sungu! Why is he here!"
He never expected that Changsun Gu of the Corpse Puppet Sect, a powerful man of the fifth level, would actually become the guardian of Shanhaikou!
