257 I’m really stupid, really

In the end, li Chengzong was still convinced by Daoist Kong Tong.

Most importantly, the statement of ‘not achieving anything’ was exactly what he wanted.

If the war ended here, his nephew would definitely mock and criticize him when he returned. His original intention of coming to the Feiyun state and personally participating in the war was to gain war capital. In the end, he didn’t gain any reputation and instead gave his political enemies a handle to attack him. That was definitely unacceptable.

Since the Crown Prince had been convinced, Wang Bei had no other choice but to agree.

Of course, the reason for this was that he also held some hope in his heart.

In any case, he still had two Jindan on his side. Even if two famous demon kings attacked, they might not be able to fight back.

If he could kill the two demon kings here, he would make a fortune. Perhaps the Crown Prince would even arrange for the external elixir he needed to break through to the Golden core.

Although it was not impossible for Great Yan’s Crown Prince to get an external elixir, the demonic core of a peak fourth level demonic beast King was much more useful than the ordinary golden core that could be found elsewhere. Not only would the probability of breaking through be much higher, but the road after reaching Jindan would also be smoother, and the strength would be more powerful.

Moreover, killing two monster Kings on the battlefield was a huge political capital in itself. As the supervisor of this battle, he could boast about all the results of the battle in the northern wilderness forest after li Chengzong returned to the Yan city. This would make his Supporters Trust him even more and make the fence-sitters more likely to favor him.

Thus, even though li Chengzong and Wang Qian both knew that Kong Tong was gambling, and even had the intention of following hai Sande and Li Yanling, who were from the other faction of the Qingfeng sect, they still decided to place their bets with Kong Tong.

............

order of the sect leader, Order of the Crown Prince, order of the Yunxiao sect elder, hehe. These three tokens are really heavy. Are they trying to crush me to death? ”

Lu Chaohe said sarcastically.

The northern troops were basically all on large flying ships, and they were currently flying south. Their destination was three days “journey to the southwest of the forest of deer God. This was also the place where Li Yanling and hai Sande had discussed to meet up.

On the way, they received a letter jointly written by Kong Tong, li Chengzong, and Wang Bei.

In this letter, Daoist Kong Tong did not mention a single word about the intelligence report. He only ordered them to immediately head for the Western Army.

After receiving the letter, Li Yanling gathered all initial enlightenment and above cultivators in the North Army to discuss the future.

Upon hearing Lu Chaohe’s words, Liu Yueting and Bo Xin more or less felt uncomfortable.

Their status as sect cultivators was quite important, and they had been invited to the North Army because of their good relationship with Li Yanling. Lu Chaohe’s words were somewhat disrespectful to the sect leader. Of course, it was not very pleasing to the ear to hear him say it so bluntly.

However, the two of them did not say anything.

Daoist Kongtong’s order made them both very unhappy.

To put it bluntly, from the perspective of the North troops, they had given up on their benefits in Eagle Valley and rushed South. Wasn’t it to cover the West troops “retreating flanks?

They had already achieved a very good result in this battle and had also achieved their goal of holding back the enemy. Wasn’t it good to retreat and digest the benefits they had obtained?

It had to be said that one’s brain was determined by one’s bottom.

The North Army did not suffer too many losses and had gained a lot. The two demon tribes were taken down and they earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. Other than the Lu clan, the two initial enlightenment cultivators earned the most. This way, under the pressure of two peak-grade demon kings, the two of them naturally hoped that they wouldn’t fight and would retreat. After all, they had already obtained enough items and didn’t need to be greedy.

As for the fact that the West Army didn’t manage to catch the two of them, he didn’t think too much about it.

Hence, the two of them were basically on the same side as the Lu family.

However, even though he was repulsed, he still had to resolve the current situation.

The two of them did not say anything. Even Lu Chaohe, who had just mocked them, did not have any intention of opposing this order.

After a moment of silence, Lu chaoxi, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly said, ” “Father just sent me a mental message. We’ll stick to our plan and discuss further after we meet with forefather hai.”

Li Yanling looked at her husband and asked hesitantly, ” “What about the sect leader?”

father will go personally. If necessary, he will make a move.

Li Yanling instantly relaxed.

In her heart, her father-in-law was a much stronger existence than her master.

After the meeting was over, some people might have noticed that Lu mingchao was no longer on the airboat.

......

After Li Yanling and hai Sande communicated, they both replied to Kong Tong with the same content: We’ll gather first and then move towards you. You guys should stop fighting and let go when you need to, safety first, and so on.

Immediately, another letter came from Kong Tong. His words were even more severe, and he demanded that they immediately go.

Li Yanling and hai Sande would definitely not care about this.

In any case, when we sent out our troops, we agreed that the three armies would do their own thing. Kong Tong doesn’t have direct jurisdiction over our two sides, so I don’t care about you.

Of course, he couldn’t be so direct. In their replies, everyone was talking about the difficulties they faced and how to act in the safest way.

It was all wrangling.

No one told Kong Tong that Lu Qing would go over.

This was Lu Qing’s request.

......

After the North and Northwest armies met up, they began to advance towards the southwest.

On the first day after their meeting, they received a letter from Kong Tong, urging them to hurry up.

In the following two days, they received a total of nine letters from Kong Tong, an average of one every six hours.

This reminded Lu chaoxi of a story his father had told him when he was young about the 18 golden emblems and a loyal general.

Of course, that story was different from the situation they were facing now. However, Lu chaoxi would still link the two matters together. Furthermore, his father had left behind an explanation. Lu chaoxi would reply to these letters that urged him to hurry up. His words were very polite, but he would not agree.

The contents of the tenth letter had changed.

The content of the tenth letter was very short, and there was no urging. It was just a very short content report.

After reading the contents of the Golden Messenger sword, Li Yanling expressionlessly said to the people beside her, ” “The Demon King has arrived.”

......

“I’m really stupid, really.”

Li Chengzong carefully moved through the mountain forest as he muttered in his heart.

He didn’t dare to fly at all. If he attracted attention, he might lose his life.

As for the forest, he could occasionally see some scenes of human cultivators fighting with the monster race. With li Chengzong’s strength in the late stage of the initial enlightenment stage, he could easily eliminate those ordinary demonic beasts and save the lives of some human cultivators. He could even use his status to rope in a team.

But he didn’t do that, and it was meaningless.

He concealed his identity and his tracks as he walked through the forest.

He didn’t know where he was going, but there was no doubt that he had to leave this battlefield first.

At the moment, he was in a rather miserable state. However, just a few hours ago, he was still one of the leaders of the cultivator Army on the West Road.

A few hours ago, the West Army was still attacking mo Yue cave. In this demon clan Gathering place, there were five tier-three demonic beasts of different classes, making a total of 3000 demons.

This was the strongest gathering place of the demon race they had encountered in the past six months.

...

It had been almost two months since the West Army attacked the mo Yue catacombs. The catacombs ‘protective array was already on the verge of collapse under the continuous attacks of their formation-breaking cannons for the past two months.

Once the defensive formation was broken, with the strength of the West Army, they would be able to charge in and the demons inside would have no room to resist. At that time, all the profits in mo Yue’s cave would be theirs.

Even the sect leader of the Qingfeng sect and the Crown Prince of Great Yan would be concerned about the profit of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. The benefits that were within their reach were what attracted them here, and what made them reluctant to give up.

A few hours ago, the defensive array had been completely destroyed by their array-breaking cannons.

At his command, the human cultivators charged forward and marched into the catacombs.

Under the threat of the monster King’s imminent attack, their goal was very clear. They hoped to finish this battle as soon as possible, then they could calmly arrange the follow-up matters. There was no need to be so urgent.

For this reason, Kong Tong invited Wang Jie to lead the vanguard cultivators of the sect to fight their way in.

Li Chengzong also followed. He definitely had to take the lead in this kind of thing that showed off his courage.

The entrance to the catacombs was not big enough, but that was not a problem. With the combined strength of the two golden core cultivators, they easily opened the entrance to the catacombs even wider. Then, they charged in. The monsters of mo Yue catacombs were already waiting for them.

Their line of defense didn’t last long. The high-level cultivators and the elite team only needed one charge to break the enemy.

Li Chengzong was in high spirits.

The other high-level cultivators seemed to have deliberately created an opportunity for him to show off. With his strength at the late stage of initial enlightenment and the top-notch cultivation technique passed down by the Yan imperial family, he had indeed made a name for himself. The densely packed water arrows almost covered the entire catacombs passageway in an instant. A large number of demons were blown down in an instant. They were annihilated by his attack. The human cultivators following him could also continue to rush in through the gap that he had made.

However, it was also at this moment that monstrous demonic flames surged outward from the catacombs passageway!

The flames were like waves as they retaliated!

In just an instant, the elite group of cultivators that had charged the fiercest was almost wiped out!

Even some of the foundation building cultivators who saw the situation was bad and activated their defensive magical artifacts were no different from a straw under the red demonic flame and were burned to death in an instant.

Even Foundation establishment cultivators were like this, let alone ordinary Qi refining cultivators.

Anyone who wasn’t blind could feel that only a golden core stage cultivator could have such power!

Daoist Kong Tong, who was a little behind them, immediately turned pale.

The elite cultivator group of the entire sect was gone just like that.

They were all his direct descendants, the future seedlings of the sect leader’s line. In this elite group, the Qi refinement cultivators were all level 8 and above. There were also ten Foundation establishment cultivators, and a few of them were initial enlightenment seedlings. This was the strongest group of cultivators in the West Army.

Instantly wiped out

It was heart-piercing pain!

But now wasn’t the time to feel heartache over this. If they didn’t do anything, not to mention this elite group of cultivators, the entire West Army would be finished!

Moreover, the Crown Prince, who had just run to the front to show off, was also within the range of this ball of demonic flame!

The moment li Chengzong saw the demonic flames, he immediately activated a magic treasure on his body. A layer of blue, water-like protective cover enveloped him. This was a very precious defensive and life-saving magic treasure in his hands. Although it was only a third-tier magic treasure, it could withstand a full-force attack from a golden core stage expert.

However, if he could block it for a while, how could he block it forever? The demonic flames that gushed out from the depths of the catacombs seemed to be endless.

Kong Tong and Wang Yan’s reactions were quite fast.

The two of them appeared in front of the Crown Prince at the same time. A magic sword appeared in Wang Jie’s hand, and a Taichi sword formation appeared around him, blocking the demonic flames. Kong Tong, on the other hand, put his palms together and activated his true energy. The walls of the entire catacombs passageway trembled at the same time. Under his control, the rocks and soil closed up, completely sealing off the entire passageway.

The demonic flame was temporarily blocked by the rocks, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

The three of them looked at each other and saw the seriousness of the matter from each other’s eyes.

The Demon King Tao Wu had actually arrived. Furthermore, he used some unknown method to sneak into mo Yue’s cave before they attacked. He would take advantage of the moment when they had broken through the catacombs ‘defensive formation and were about to launch a large-scale attack to reveal himself. The sudden attack caught the human side off guard, and they suffered heavy losses in an instant.

“Let’s retreat,” Wang Jie said, “Kong Tong, there’s no hope of conquering mo Yue catacombs.

“Yingluo, yes.”

No matter how unwilling he was, Kong Tong had no other choice.

He really regretted it now.

Prejudice, greed, jealousy, internal strife

If not for this, how could he have made such an unwise decision?

However, just as the thought of regret surfaced in his mind, he felt that something was wrong. At the same time, the rocks that sealed the catacombs ‘passageway gradually turned red.

Kong Tong’s expression changed drastically.

“Quickly retreat!”
