Journey to the head

The military order was as heavy as a mountain. We had to set off within an incense stick of time, so everyone quickened their pace.

The "Sleeping Dragon" combat brigade is assembling rapidly, and the sounds of squadrons and companies reporting numbers and preparing for battle resound throughout the parade grounds.

The Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhous continued to take off and lined up in mid-air on standby. Each ship would carry five combat teams, and four ships formed a squadron.

At the same time, after being debugged, the small Taoist soldier "Spirit Snake No. 2" rose up like flowing water and entered the Shenzhou cabin in a continuous manner.

This type of Taoist soldier has only been finalized and put into mass production not long ago, and only more than 400 have been produced so far. According to the design concept and actual combat drills, they will fight in the mode of each Shenzhou with ten "Spirit Snake II", and use this as a basis to combine into a more powerful "Sky Fortress" combat system.

However, due to insufficient production, "Spirit Snake II" is currently only allocated to 40 Shenzhou ships of three combat battalions. The 50 Shenzhou ships loaned out by the Yunshan School this time do not have this configuration.

At the same time, the "Bi Chao" and "Ling Sha" battalions as the second echelon are also gathering in an orderly manner. Although they are not mobilized in the current expedition order, as a combat sequence, they must always remain in a state of readiness and wait for call at any time once the war breaks out.

The round, crystal-clear jade dragon pulled the Stepping Clouds Floating Clouds Chariot, transformed into a stream of light, streaked across Mianlong Mountain, and sped off toward the southeast of Cangzhou. Behind the Floating Clouds Chariot were four plump, round dragon pigs, which were speeding along at lightning speed, howling like pigs being slaughtered.

The rolling rays of light, the precious lights and the howling of fat pigs are truly shocking and cool.

Lu Qian led the Taoist Wudi, the Jade Dragon Fairy, and Zhao Yunchang to Hushou Mountain to listen to the order. Lin Le followed behind and led the remaining 19 foundation builders of the Yunshan School and the "Sleeping Dragon" combat team to the Bibo Plain of Huaiyou County, where they gathered the combat forces of the nine counties and then went to Hushou Mountain to join the Xuanwei School's main force.

Originally, Lu Qian had no plan to bring Yu Jiao with him, but when he saw the little fairy Yu Jiao enthusiastically directing four fat ladies to adapt their own battle song, his eyes twitched involuntarily. At that moment, he decided to bring him with him, lest this little kid be left unsupervised and tinker around and cause any trouble.

As for Zhao Yunchang, the humanoid radar, he must carry it with him. Lu Qian will adapt to the situation according to his perception, avoid disasters and seek victory.

After Lu Qian left, the preparations on Mianlong Mountain came to an end.

In a secluded corner, Lin Le sat cross-legged, waiting helplessly for Wu Yan to rearrange his hair.

As the expedition was imminent, Lin Le, as the temporary commander-in-chief, did not want to leave the army for a moment. However, Wu Yan grabbed his slightly messy hair and insisted on combing it for him.

So he could only sit down and let his wife fiddle with his hair.

"This battle is extremely dangerous, even Master is unsure." Wu Yan tied up his long hair with a worried look on her face. "No one knows what will happen, or what the disaster that Xuanjizi has rehearsed is. You must not be so arrogant and act rashly."

After a long marriage, the peaceful and stable days on Mianlong Mountain became dull. The relationship between the two had long lost its exaggerated passion, and they were both lovers and close relatives.

Lin Le felt Wu Yan's fingertips rubbing his head and smiled helplessly: "Sister Yan, I have never been stubborn before, so don't worry."

Wu Yan put on the crown for him, looked left and right, and curled her lips: "What else are you talking about? Some disciples secretly discuss that you, Elder Lin, are getting cocky now, and your actions are full of complacency and pride. You are about to become the second Xiao Tianci."

Lin Le laughed, stood up, and took Wu Yan into his arms: "Don't listen to their nonsense, they are just jealous! Jealous that I can marry a fairy like you who is unparalleled in the world!"

Wu Yan spat and rubbed against Lin Le's arms: "We are an old married couple, and you are not ashamed."

After a pause, she said reluctantly: "Anyway, you must be careful. I will wait for you to come back at Mianlong Mountain."

Lin Le lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently: "Don't worry, I will help the master return victorious. You must be careful when you stay at home. The war situation is unpredictable. I am afraid that there will be war everywhere in Cangzhou."

At the bow of the Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhou, Jiang Baitao stood lightly on the side of the ship, as if she weighed nothing. Her snow-white skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing her slender figure, with shoulders as sharp as a knife and waist as thin as a slender waist.

The breeze blew her long hair, revealing a face brighter than the moon. Her pair of dark eyes were as clear as autumn water as she quietly gazed at the sun-drenched Mianlong Mountain.

Bei Luo Shimen had curled up into a small ball, lying lazily on her shoulder, his snow-white fur rubbing against her face gently.

Suddenly, Beiluo Shimen turned his head, opened his eyes as blue as the sea and clear sky, and let out a soft meow.

"It's Ruoyu." Jiang Baitao didn't look back, "We are about to set off. You are not on the list of people going to the expedition, so you should get off the ship quickly."

Wang Ruoyu, who was tall and strong with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was silent for a while, and said softly: "Little Master, I asked the master to let me go to the battle together, or replace you, but the master did not allow it."

Jiang Baitao turned her back to him and shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am not made of mud, and this is not my first time on the battlefield, so you don't have to protect me."

She laughed softly: "Ruoyu, I have told you so many times, when I followed the head brother in exile and battle, you didn't even know where you were."

Wang Ruoyu looked at her back, and Bei Luo Shimen also looked at him quietly. For some reason, he saw helplessness and pity in the eyes of this spirit cat, and this feeling made him very sad.

There was a long whistle, and that was the clarion call for battle.

"I..." He was speechless and couldn't say anything else. After thinking again and again, he only said one sentence, "Little Master, you must be careful."

Jiang Baitao just nodded: "Don't worry, with the head brother here, everything will be fine."

Wang Ruoyu lowered his head and took a deep breath. Just as he raised his hand, Lin Le's voice came from the air: "All the foundation builders, please come to my ship to discuss matters."

Jiang Baitao leaped up, her skirt fluttering, and she sat sideways on the back of Beiluo Shimen, which had grown larger in an instant, and flew towards the flagship where Lin Le was.

"Ruoyu, the military situation is urgent and there is no time to waste. You should return quickly."

Wang Ruoyu stood there and slowly withdrew his hand. The crystal jade that he had been holding in his palm for a long time was finally not given away.

At the same time, on the Heron Cliff in Junle County, a Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhou with the Zhou family flag flying had its sails hoisted, ready to take off.

The black-faced man Zhou Chao picked up a glass of wine and placed it in front of the Jindan Zhenren.

"Changji, please drink this cup to the full. I am waiting for your good news in the clan!"

Changji Zhenren did not dare to be negligent and raised his glass and drank it all.

"Master, rest assured. This is my first time fighting. I will definitely achieve great results and will make my Zhou family famous from now on."

Changji Zhenren Zhou Yuan was originally Zhou Chao's nephew, and the two used to call each other uncle and nephew. However, Zhou Yuan successfully survived the catastrophe and became the first Jindan in the history of the Zhou family. His status was naturally extremely high, and Zhou Chao no longer called him by his name.

Zhou Chao smiled and shook his head, "Whether you become famous on the battlefield or not is not that important. First of all, you must obey orders and serve Master Lu with all your strength. Secondly, be careful and take care of yourself, and don't try to show off. This kind of battle is the only one I have ever seen in my life, and it must be extremely dangerous. You are responsible for the revitalization of the family, so you must not be careless."

Zhou Yuan bowed and accepted the master's instructions.

Although he was already a Jindan, he had been carefully cultivated and taught by Zhou Chao since he was a child, and he had great respect for this uncle who laid the foundation for the family's revival.

This time, the Zhou family was assigned one Jindan and fifty Qi training elites. Now they boarded the Shenzhou purchased from the Yunshan Sect and were about to go on the expedition.

"Shaoyin Sect is recruiting three foundation-building warriors and seven hundred Qi training elites. The seven sects are recruiting two foundation-building warriors and five hundred Qi training elites." Zhou Chao continued, "My family will supervise the distribution of these. I have ordered them to report to Hanjiangzhu immediately, and you will lead them to the Bibo Plain together."

"You don't need to waste time or be polite to these people. Just use them harshly and suppress them with force." Zhou Yuan nodded, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart.

The Zhou family, as a Jindan family, only recruited fifty Qigong practitioners, while the native Shaoyin Sect and seven factions of Junle County actually mobilized a full 1,200 people!

This is the fate of the defeated, and this is also the ruthless side of the Yunshan Sect.

As expected, no major sect can rise to power through kindness. The reputation of the Yunshan Sect as a prestigious and upright sect has spread widely, but it is still so decisive that it is frightening.

His eyes looked into the distance.

Tian Yuanzi, my Zhou family respects you very much, and this is my first time serving under you. Let me see what kind of person you are.

Liangxiang County, ordered the Jinpai Mountain Gate.

This is a low-level third-grade spiritual vein, which is not worthy of the attention of True Man Wuxu, who has already achieved the Golden Elixir state.

A Jindan sect needs at least one high-level level three spiritual vein to meet the needs of daily cultivation and to support a Jindan Zhenren to safely advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even though Master Wuxi has only just reached the initial stage of the Golden Elixir stage, he still has to consider the future, right?

However, the Chijin Sect was once only one of the subordinate sects of the Mingyu Sword Sect in Liangxiang County, and its territory was completely surrounded by the Mingyu Sword Sect. Even if it was now independent from the Mingyu Sword Sect, it had no room to expand its territory.

This is Wuxi Zhenren’s biggest need at the moment.

After independence, the Chijin Sect actively sought to join the Chongming Alliance in order to catch up with the Chongming Alliance and the Yunshan Sect's fast lane of development, while at the same time trying to solve the problem of the mountain gate.

Now, the opportunity has come!
"Master, there are many masters in the nine counties of the northwest, and there are many great Jindan masters in Yunshan Sect. How come the one who picked the master fell to our sect and took away your newly promoted Jindan?" The disciples said worriedly, "This, this can't be a conspiracy of Yunshan Sect to suppress our Chijin Sect?"

"Idiot!" The tall and thin Wuxi Master, who had a goatee and a bamboo-like figure, cursed and hit him with the whisk in his hand. "What status does the Yunshan Sect have to suppress our Chijin Sect?"

"Rather than saying that Tian Yuanzi picked me, it's better to say that he saw my needs and responded to me!"

"This is not only our formal token of joining the Chongming Alliance, but also an opportunity for our Chijin Sect to grow and develop!"

"Conquering the Sikong Family, wow, what a big deal! The territory of the Sikong Family is fertile and full of high-level spiritual veins. If I can make meritorious contributions, I may be able to win new spiritual veins for my sect!"

The disciple held his head and cried out, "Master, so, Tian Yuanzi beat you to death, and you should thank him?"

Master Wuxi waved his whisk and sighed.

"Fool, this is how the world is. For Tian Yuanzi, there are so many people who are eager to get close to him to do things for him. He is dispatching me, and he is still giving me face."

The disciple said unconvincedly: "You are a golden elixir, and he is also a golden elixir. Is the difference so big?"

Wu Xi Zhenren slapped him again with hatred: "Foolish, you can only say these words in front of me. If they are spread out, who knows what kind of trouble will be caused."

"You will go with me this time. I will take you to see Tian Yuanzi with your own eyes so that you can see the world!"

Sanshan County, away from Yuanzong, Yanghua Mountain.

Master Wei Ting bowed in front of a cave and said, "Uncle Master, the ten foundation builders and three hundred Qi training masters that Yunshan Sect has recruited have already assembled. They are very urgent and their words are harsh. We can't delay any longer. I will lead the team and set off now."

Zhenren Yeguang in the cave was quite unwilling. He clenched his hands and flashes of lightning flashed across his body.

But what can be done?

The Yunshan faction is in charge of the military affairs of the nine counties. He can recruit anyone he wants and transfer anyone he wants. Who dares to say no?

Besides, considering the size of Li Yuan Sect, recruiting Zhenren Wei Ting, ten foundation-building cultivators, and three hundred Qi-cultivating cultivators is completely normal. No one can find fault with it, and even the number of Qi-cultivating cultivators is extremely small.

If I don't agree, I'm afraid Yunshan Sect will immediately find a handle on me and maybe use it as a pre-war sacrifice.
Master Yeguang just felt a chill.

Lu Qian, oh Lu Qian, just wait and see. Things will change over time. God will not let anyone off the hook.
It is impossible for your Yunshan sect to remain strong forever.

Conquer the Sikong family. Haha, is the Sikong family so easy to deal with?
Maybe this battle will be your last one!
"Special Envoy Liu, please come in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Although he was obviously shocked by the order, Yun Liusanren tried his best to maintain his manners and politely invited the foundation-building feathered master in front of him to go into the mountain gate for a rest.

Jindan Zhenren was very humble in front of this foundation-building person, because this special envoy Liu represented the Xuanwei Sect, the co-leader of Cangzhou. Yunliu Sanren was just a casual cultivator, so naturally he didn't dare to be arrogant.

It was the turn of spring and summer, and the weather was getting hotter. At noon, the sun was blazing hot on the land of Songyuan Valley. Envoy Liu was a little tired from traveling at full speed. Normally, he would have taken a rest, but now he waved his hands repeatedly with a serious look on his face.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have to go somewhere else to make a report, so I can't delay for a moment."

"Please leave immediately. If you miss the time, I'm afraid military law will not show mercy!"

This was very impolite, but Yunliu Sanren could not get angry. Although he did not create a lineage or establish a sect, he also built a cave in Songyuan Valley and settled in Cangzhou. He was not a wandering cultivator, so he naturally needed to abide by the laws of Cangzhou and obey the orders of Xuanwei Sect.

Moreover, this order was even more unusual. It was an order to transfer him to join the army to fight against the Sikong family!

Sikong's family
Songyuan Valley is very close to the territory of the Sikong family, and Yunliusanren is also very clear about the strength of the Sikong family.

I really didn't expect that this time, Xuanwei Sect would actually mobilize the power of Cangzhou to wipe out the Sikong family!

Yunliu Sanren shuddered. But he thought that Xuanwei Sect would definitely win.

He watched as the special envoy boarded the Xuanwei Sect's specially made shuttle and soared into the air at the speed of a golden elixir.

Then, thunder exploded in the sky!
A beam of light came down like lightning, destroying the shuttle in mid-air!
Under the shocked gaze of Yunliusanren, a burly man as strong as an iron tower grabbed Envoy Liu's head as if he were a chicken, lifted up half of his body, and gently applied force with his palm.

With a snap, the head burst like a watermelon.

He gently let go, and the remains fell to the ground, making a dull sound in Yun Liusanren's heart.

The big man shook the blood off his hands and gave Yun Liusanren a cruel smile.

"I am Sikong Jing. Yunliu, do you surrender or die?" (End of this chapter)
