Rushing there in a hurry, Zhan Chen found that not only all the elders had arrived, but also all the disciples of the Linghe Sect and the Huaying Sect had gathered there.
Liu Jian quickly explained to them the purpose of calling them here for this meeting: "Everyone, I have called you here today mainly for two important things. First, according to the observations of our frontline investigators, recently the corpse soul
The sect is likely to launch a second invasion of our sect."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar below. Everyone was shocked by his news, and there was a lot of discussion. Restarting the war meant that many people would die.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!" Liu Jian had to interrupt everyone's discussion loudly before he could continue: "If they want to launch a large-scale invasion, then our Fanchuncheng will be used as a forward position. The last war was
This is a lesson, because we were not prepared in advance and suffered huge losses, not only the disciples of our sect guarding the city, but also the ordinary people suffered heavy casualties."
"Learning from the painful experience, this time we have to prepare in advance. I decided to divide everyone into two groups, one group is the escort team. The main task is to gather a group of people with weak combat effectiveness in the city and escort them to a place three hundred miles away.
In the Chongyan Cave area, the terrain in that area is complex.
It is complex, has many barriers, and is full of caves. I have sent people to build it before, and it can hide tens of thousands of people. The Corpse Soul Sect will never think that we will hide ordinary citizens there. Even after occupying this area, we will not be able to hide it.
I wouldn’t go to such a remote place easily.”
"The second group is the city defense team. Their main task is to defend the city, maintain public order in the city, and recruit powerful people to join in and fight the Demon Sect to the death!" At this point, Liu Jian's voice became sonorous and powerful.
Many people present, especially many disciples of the Huaying Sect, showed awe-inspiring expressions of righteousness.
"Okay, now I am announcing the task arrangements for you. The first is the elders and disciples who will join the city guard team..." Liu Jian took out a list he had prepared in advance and began to read it out.
A strange look flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he thought: "What's going on? Are the members of the city protection team and escort team determined in advance, not voluntary?"
As a result, he found that most of the elders and disciples of the Linghe Sect were arranged in the escort team, including elders such as Xu Chang and Mei Qing. Of course, he, Zhuang Xiaodie, and Li Qiong were no exception. At this point, Zhan Chen suddenly realized that Liu
Jian is a member of the Linghe sect who wants to take care of them.
This is no wonder, because the Linghe Sect is a guest after all, and it lost many powerful disciples in the last demon-killing team operation. Although the escort team has a heavy task, it can be far away from the front battlefield, making it easier to evacuate.
.
After the list was read out, Zhuang Xiaodie stood up and said to Liu Jian: "Elder Liu, let me also join the city protection team -"
"Nonsense!" Liu Jian glared at her and said, "Do you question my arrangement?"
"I - dare not." Zhuang Xiaodie's eyes flickered for a few times, and he had to retreat depressedly.
Zhan Chen's eyes moved and he thought: "Senior Sister Zhuang is still so passionate, but after experiencing so many things, she has finally matured a lot." Suddenly he thought: "Does Senior Sister Zhuang also take care of my feelings?"
Because after several times, the one who worried about this senior sister the most was Zhan Chen, and after the two confirmed their relationship, their bond with each other became stronger. Zhuang Xiaodie might be suppressing her righteous impulse for him, so she
I didn't insist too much on joining the city guard team.
"Okay, let's start taking action immediately, time waits for no one!" Liu Jian said at last.
After leaving the city lord's palace, everyone began to get busy. On the one hand, recruitment points were set up throughout the city to recruit patriots who were willing to stay and defend the city.
On the other hand, the escort team also began to publicize and visit various households, gathering some old, weak, sick, disabled, young and people with low cultivation level. This work lasted for three days, and after three days, a group of eight
A large army of ten thousand people began to gather on the outskirts of the city. These people were all going to Chongyan Cave to escape the war. Xu Chang, as the captain of the escort team, personally organized and appeased them. It was not until noon that the team set off, leaving Fanchuncheng and heading into the mountains.
Zhan Chen followed the team. The low cultivation of these people, as well as the old, young, sick and disabled, slowed down the progress of the entire team. As a result, it took seven days to travel a distance of three hundred miles. It took seven days to reach the important site.
Behind the cave, due to the complex terrain there, there were a lot of people who needed to be arranged, and everyone was very anxious. It took another half a month to get all these people settled.
After that, Xu Chang led a group of disciples back, but when they returned to Fanchun City, they found that the place had turned into a sea of fire, and the city was surrounded by countless demon cultivators and corpse demons.
Seeing this scene, everyone was silent. Everyone knew that Fan Chuncheng could no longer be saved. Many people became anxious and asked Xu Chang: "Elder Xu, what should we do? Please make up your mind!"
Xu Chang pondered for a long time and finally made a decision: "We withdraw from the Huaying Sect!"
So Zhan Chen had to follow the large army to retreat towards the location of the Huaying Sect. It took about a week, and everyone finally arrived at the Huaying Sect. After arriving at the Huaying Sect, they found that they were not the only ones who had retreated here, there were also others.
Naturally, there are also Huaying Sect disciples in the team of the Righteous Alliance.
Everyone looked disgraced. It was obvious that this time the evil disaster was widespread and fierce. All signs showed that the second war between the Righteous Alliance and the Soul Sect was inevitable. Soon, even Liu Jian withdrew.
When I came back, I was in a very embarrassed state with only a dozen or so people around me. It was obvious that Fan Chuncheng had also been lost.
The leader of the Huaying Sect, Hua Xiang, personally organized and integrated the forces of all parties, and finally gathered 25,000 masters of the Righteous Alliance Army and above the Peeping Realm to jointly guard the mountain gate. After only about ten days, the leading troops of the Soul Soul Sect were about two
Thousands of demonic cultivators have rushed to the opposite side of the Snake Peak to confront the righteous coalition forces, and the atmosphere is extremely tense.
In front of the Corpse Soul Sect's tent, Xiao Xie personally came to inspect the demon cultivators, which made Helian Chunqiu feel flattered. He stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted: "The sect leader personally came to the front line, which really made the soldiers all year round."
Be inspired, we will definitely win this battle!"
Xiao Xie nodded and said: "Very good, as long as I get the result, no matter how much it costs, I must win the Huaying Sect!"
"Yes!" Helian Chunqiu replied loudly, but he hesitated again and asked a question that had been bothering them: "Sect Master, there is something that I have been unclear about?"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Actually, to capture the Huaying Sect as quickly as possible, we don't need such a big fight. As long as you take action, won't everything be solved?"
Xiao Xie smiled slightly and said: "This question is really stupid. Can I take action easily? There are no Yuanshen realm experts in the Yuxiao Palace? If we really want to fight, we will only suffer the loss, so I won't
If they take action, their Yuanshen Realm strongmen will not take action. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding. Otherwise, if it really reaches the level of Yuanshen Realm strongmen fighting against each other, I don’t think the number of casualties will be tens of thousands like before.
Here you go!”
Helian Chunqiu suddenly understood and said: "Sect Master, I understand. Please rest assured that I will win this battle beautifully and bring glory to the Sect Master!"
"Well, a boy can be taught. Well, I want to personally sit in and see how you take down the Huaying Sect."
"Okay, I will arrange a good tent for you right now!" Helian Chunqiu hurriedly went down to arrange it. In fact, he was also very puzzled as to why this powerful man in the Yuan Shen realm was so obsessed with a quick victory. It was just for the fun of boredom.
, or for some other purpose.
As time passes, the atmosphere of the war becomes more and more intense. Reinforcements from the Soul Sect are arriving continuously, while reinforcements from the Righteous Alliance are being transferred from various sects, so progress is slow.
A week later, the number of troops stationed by the Corpse Soul Sect has reached 50,000, and various formations have been deployed one by one. A general attack can occur at any time. On the other hand, the righteous coalition forces stationed on the Snake Peak are less than 30,000.
, the balance of power has undergone fundamental changes.
In the early morning of this morning, Hua Xiang stood alone on the Coiled Snake Cliff on the Snake Peak and looked down. He saw that half of the sky in front of him was dyed ink black. He felt worried and suddenly turned his head to face a man behind him.
The female elder asked: "Xing Yan, are you ready for everything I want you to prepare?"
There was a trace of struggle in Xing Yan's eyes, and she asked: "Sect Master, do you have to be like this? You must know that Huaying Sect is a long-standing foundation of our ancestors."
"Stop talking, just do it!"
Xing Yan was stunned for a moment, and had to answer reluctantly: "As ordered!" After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but she heard Hua Xiang stop her again: "Wait!" and asked: "Sect Master, do you have anything else?
An order from me?"
"Tell everyone to take away everything you can, and don't force anything you can't take away. After all, as long as people are around, everything has the possibility of starting over again!"
"Yes!" Xing Yan replied respectfully, then turned around to carry out the order of the sect master.
…
In the past two days, Zhan Chen has been feeling an unusual tense atmosphere permeating the Huaying Sect. Many disciples are packing their bags and acting as if they are going to travel far. Combined with the current reality of the Corpse Soul Sect's army approaching the border, it can be concluded that
He came to the conclusion that Hua Xiang was likely to abandon the sect and make a strategic retreat. This made him nervous and unintentional to practice, so he did everything he could do first.
The first is to exchange all the unused things he got from killing the demon cultivators in Fanchun City into military merits. This added about 10 million alliance merit points to his new identity card, reaching 3,000.
Five million. Then, he used five million of them to exchange for some medium-grade spiritual talismans to prepare for emergencies.
In the remaining time, Zhan Chen did not use it to continue practicing. Instead, he rested in the dormitory. He was seizing all the time to recharge his batteries and prepare for the coming storm.
