There are very few large state capitals in the southwest because the mountain roads here are rugged and difficult to navigate and are not suitable for building large cities. Most of them are actually small villages.
Because of the Wu family's rebellion, Linjiang Prefecture, one of the few large prefectures in western Hunan, also fell into the hands of the evil cultivators of the Liangui lineage.
This state capital is one of the few state capitals in western Hunan that has the presence of Jingyesi, but at this time, the local Jingyesi branch has been slaughtered.
"Brother Wu, your Wu family is very brave this time. Not long after the Hongye Army caused trouble, you continued to cause trouble. Aren't you afraid of making the court really angry and sending a large army to destroy your Wu family?"
A man with half of his face extremely dark and half of his face completely pale sat in the blood-covered Yasushi lobby and asked teasingly.
A younger Wu family disciple snorted coldly: "If you get benefits, just do things honestly. You will get the benefits. We, the Wu family, will bear the blame. No matter we win or lose, we will not treat you badly in the future!"
But the man rubbed his hands and said, "Since you can't treat us badly, why don't you, Brother Wu, be more generous?"
The disciple of the Wu family was just about to tell the other party not to push too far, but at this moment, a red flying knife suddenly appeared in the void, evolved in thousands of ways, and completely penetrated the man, turning him into a hornet's nest.
At the same time, there were loud and frightening shouts coming from outside. Apart from those shouting and yelling for help, the most deafening words among them were three words: Red Leaf Army!
The disciple of the Wu family came out and saw that countless practitioners with red leaves embroidered on their bodies had surrounded them and were killing them with ruthless hands.
"Everyone stop it! Our Wu family is doing this to fight against the imperial court. Are your Red Leaf Army crazy? Are you actually attacking us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vitality palm print fell from the sky. Before he could unseal his ghost body, he was directly crushed into a puddle of flesh and blood.
Ye Mingge, who looked somewhat honest and decent, walked out of the crowd and said calmly: "You are resisting the imperial court so you can dominate the city and kill innocent people to take souls and refine ghosts? The Red Leaf Army is killing scum like you!"
The other cultivators of the Red Leaf Army also swarmed forward, using ruthless and decisive methods. If a person could kill with one blow, he would never use a second blow.
As the Red Leaf Army, which had raised a rebellion in the past and even fought against the imperial court's elite border troops, its combat power was far beyond the imagination of these left-leaning cultivators, and it was almost as if they were crushed against them.
Although the Hongye Army, who came from a wild background, was not as good as the Imperial Border Army in terms of marching and formation, but in terms of individual combat capability, the Hongye Army was stronger than the Imperial Border Army.
In a short period of time, Linjiang Mansion experienced two killings. Ye Mingge looked to the west. Gu Cheng and the others should have arrived now, right?
The purpose of the Hongye Army's attack this time was to clean up these leftist practitioners who had been seduced by the Wu family. These people were too scattered, and Gu Cheng had no time to spend time with them. The Hongye Army came directly under the banner of practicing Dao for the sky.
alright.
When the time comes, no matter whether the court or anyone traces the relationship between him and the Hongye Army, Gu Cheng will only use a little prevarication.
That is because the Red Leaf Army couldn't stand the Wu family's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so they acted for justice. Gu Cheng's attack on the Wu family could be said to be taking advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, even if there were people who secretly suspected that Gu Cheng was leading all this.
Gu Cheng came here mainly for Li Yuangong's fantasy of immortality. As long as Li Yuangong didn't doubt him, who could do anything to him?
Just as the Red Leaf Army was annihilating the left-right monks of the Ghost Refining lineage, the news also reached the Wu family.
Although some of these leftist practitioners were grouped together spontaneously, in fact most of them took advantage of the chaos and even attacked the state capital after being instigated by some disciples sent by the Wu family. Otherwise, they would only have to rely on themselves.
How dare you dare to capture the imperial capital?
The Wu family already knew the news as soon as those disciples died.
The Wu family's headquarters is not a city, but a large village hidden in a valley.
Countless villages and courtyards surround the first half of the valley. As for the second half of the valley, where there is no sunlight all day long and the yin is thick and dense, that is where the real foundation of the Wu family lies.
Because there are all kinds of vicious ghosts raised by the Wu family. Whenever you need to practice, just pick off the parts of a ghost and put them on your body.
The reason why the orthodox ghost refining line has declined, but a branch like the Wu family has risen, is because the Wu family has developed close to a sect.
Even the ghost refining practitioners of the Ghost King Sect are actually full of uncertainties.
They also have to go out to hunt ghosts, and then refine them before they can be used for themselves. The strength of the ghosts and the results after refining are unpredictable.
However, the Wu family can catch ghosts and raise them by the elders of the Wu family. As long as the disciples have practiced the art of cutting pulses and refining ghosts to a certain level, it is enough to go directly to the elders of the Wu family to collect some of the limbs of the ghosts. It is simple and straightforward.
This method is exactly in line with the characteristics of the sect's inheritance, that is, the simpler, the better.
The older the skills are, the more powerful they are, but the ones that are most widely circulated must be simple and easy to learn. The strength of a sect lies in its core skills, but more importantly in those basic skills that are widely circulated.
The Liangui lineage does not have this basic technique, so their decline is actually inevitable.
At this time, in a dark village in the center of the Wu family, Wu Yunxiao and a group of Wu family elders gathered together again.
An elder of the Wu family cursed: "Why is the Hongye Army so crazy? He suddenly jumped out to oppose my Wu family!"
The people of the Wu family never expected that the first person to stand up to deal with them was not the imperial court, but the Hongye Army, which had been extinct for a long time.
Wu Yunxiao was no longer as tough as he was when facing Gu Cheng. He frowned tightly and said, "I'm not afraid if the Hongye Army goes crazy this time, let alone the Hongye Army without Xiao Kaishan."
, even if there is Xiao Kaishan's Red Leaf Army, we can still deal with it.
But I’m afraid that what happened this time is that someone is plotting against my Wu family behind the scenes, so the Red Leaf Army is just the first wave, and the other party may make further moves in the future.”
Although Wu Yunxiao is greedy, he is still a qualified head of a powerful family. It is reasonable for the Wu family to develop rapidly in his hands.
Everything he is greedy for is for the benefit of the entire Wu family, and he can reasonably take advantage of the situation where the Ghost King Sect was destroyed and take the initiative, so he can be considered a character.
So Wu Yunxiao said directly after thinking about it: "Go and send a message to ask for help from the Corpse Exorcist line and the Miao Border Witch Gu line, and ask them to send people to the Wu family."
Hearing what Wu Yunxiao said, the other elders of the Wu family present hesitated.
"Master, you don't need to be so careful, right? That old lady Long is not an easy character to get along with, and the Taoist Huang-browed Taoist of the Corpse Exorcist lineage is also very sinister.
If our Wu family takes the initiative to ask for help, they will make a big fuss if we can't save everything."
Although this group of leftist and evil cultivators are united, they are not united without reservation.
It was because Lin Tengyun's clever methods enabled each of them to obtain satisfactory benefits after joining together that they joined forces.
So if there is a crisis that threatens all of them, they will indeed take action together, but now because of this 'trivial matter', the Wu family has asked for help from the other two families, and they will definitely demand some price.
Before Wu Yunxiao could speak to persuade these elders, a Wu family disciple from outside hurried in and said in a panic: "Master! That Gu Cheng has led a large number of soldiers to surround the Wu family's stronghold.
!”
Wu Yunxiao let out a long breath, looked back at the Wu family elders, and said calmly: "Don't you think you need to ask for help now?
I underestimated Gu Cheng. After destroying the Ghost King Sect, he actually dared to attack my Wu family in the same way.
But my Wu family is not the fallen Ghost King Sect!
Let’s go and meet Gu Cheng.”
Wu Yunxiao was not too panicked about Gu Cheng's surprise attack.
The Wu family still has some background, and it is not something that he, Gu Cheng, can destroy just by saying it.
Outside the Wu family's stronghold, the yin energy in the valley rose and turned into dark clouds that shrouded everyone's heads, condensing and not dissipating.
Three thousand elite Raging Flame Army and the Xuanjia Guards brought by Gu Cheng from the capital defended the entire Wu family stronghold, and the evil energy condensed to oppose the Yin energy.
Wu Yunxiao walked out of the village and said coldly: "Gu Cheng, you are really good at playing tricks!
At first you were rushing to negotiate with my Wu family, but now it seems that you never had the sincerity to negotiate!"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Master Wu, I have already given you the opportunity, but you did not take advantage of it. In fact, I have always been sincere, and it is you who are not sincere.
The Ghost King Sect is destroyed, but you are still rushing to seek death, why bother?"
Wu Yunxiao looked at the soldiers of the Raging Flame Army outside, with a sneer on his lips: "Gu Cheng, I do underestimate you.
The Hongye Army's sudden attack on my Wu family must have been your work, right? Without anyone secretly sending the message, how could the Hongye Army know what was going on in western Hunan?
Borrow the Hongye Army's meddling habit to attack our Wu family, and you, Gu Cheng, will fall victim to it again!"
At this time, even the Wu family did not think that Gu Cheng would collude with the Hongye Army. They just believed that the Hongye Army was deceived by Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng said slowly: "My guess is good, but I have prepared two big gifts for your Wu family.
Your Wu family has many enemies, and you can easily name a few who want to kill your Wu family.
Head of the Wu family, do you still remember Banmian Villa Zi Cheyou?"
Hearing the name Zi Cheyou, Wu Yunxiao's expression suddenly changed.
None of the Hongye Army's attacks made him so flustered, but Zi Cheyou's name made his heart suddenly fall to the bottom.
That guy is not dead yet!
Although they had indeed destroyed Banmian Villa, when they thought of the name Zi Cheyou, they still couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts and did not want to recall the details of that battle.
