Chapter 293 Chen Yan is dead?! (Subscribe)

"Your Excellency, we now have 24 Binghuo Thunder God Cannons and 8,000 Blood Thunder Curse Bird Guns in Xiangzhou. They have been equipped to the Dragon Sparrow Army, the Xianzhen Camp, and some Black Mountain Demon Soldiers."

Ruda stood up from his chair slowly and replied in an orderly manner with a bow.

"Twenty-four Binghuo Thunder God Cannons..."

After listening to Lu Da's report, Yi Mu's spirit murmured with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The number of the twenty-four Binghuo Thunder God Cannons did not exceed that of the Yimu Spirit Body unexpectedly.

According to the manufacturing cycle of the Binghuo Leishen Cannon, it basically maintains a speed of building one cannon every three months. In five years, there are almost twenty cannons. Including the four that were already there earlier, there are exactly twenty-four cannons.

As for the forging of the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun, it was completely handed over to the craftsmen at the Changze Workshop. Over the past five years, the Changze Workshop has gradually stabilized the forging technology of the bird gun and increased the speed. In five years, more than 8,000 bird guns have been produced.

When people heard Ruda say this number, the pressure on them was slightly relieved.

After all, almost everyone in the field has witnessed the power of the Binghuo Leishen Cannon with their own eyes, and knows that with the power of the Binghuo Leishen Cannon, it is enough to kill a Jindan cultivator who has reached the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation in a head-on attack. Even when facing a Yinshen cultivator who has reached the stage of Spirit Refining and Spirit Returning, it can still pose a considerable threat.

Now that Chen Yan's real body is not here, these twenty-four Binghuo Leishen cannons are the biggest trump card of everyone in Laoshan.

In addition, the Blood Thunder Curse Bird Gun is also one of the most powerful killing weapons. Although it is not as powerful as the Bing Fire Thunder God Cannon in terms of killing the Golden Elixir and threatening the Yin God, it is also enough to pose a fatal threat to the Qi Controlling Stage cultivators who are refining essence into Qi.

The ability of eight thousand Blood Thunder Curse Bird Guns to kill head-on is even better than the head-on volley of Five Thunder Spirit Sword Technique fired by ten thousand Qi-controlling monks who have refined their essence into Qi.

The Yi Mu spirit sitting in the main seat couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the queue shooting and infantry-artillery coordination that the main body had long demanded finally had a prototype.

In this way, they may not be completely powerless against the Guiku Sect!
A faint light flashed in his eyes, and soon, Yi Mu Spirit made a strategic deployment:
"Xu Ji, listen to my orders."

"The general is here!"

Xu Ji took a step forward and clasped his fists respectfully.

"I order you to lead the Dragon Sparrow Army and the Xiangxi County troops, a total of 20,000 troops to garrison the key road east of Laoshan. You must not make any mistakes."

"I will obey your orders!"

After five years of development, the total strength of the Dragon Sparrow Army has reached five thousand.

Among them, the 5,000 Dragon Sparrow Army are all martial artists at the True Power Realm, and the generals of the Dragon Sparrow Army are martial arts masters. The Dragon Sparrow Army alone has as many as eight Binghuo Thunder God Cannons, which is almost equivalent to having an artillery battalion.

Moreover, Xu Ji followed Chen Yan's orders strictly. There were almost no new recruits among the 5,000 Dragon Sparrow Army. Almost all of them were veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Their combat effectiveness and morale were the best in Xiangzhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that these 5,000 Dragon Sparrow Army alone are enough to face the 20,000 cultivators of the Ghost Crying Sect.

After giving orders to the Dragon Sparrow Army, Yi Mu's spirit turned around and gave orders to the Heavenly Supervisor of Changze County.

"Where are Yuantong and Wu Guhan?"

"My subordinate is here."

Yuantong and Wu Guhan stood up and answered in unison.

Five years later, with a large supply of cultivation resources and increasingly rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth, Yuantong and Wu Guhan's strength also improved by leaps and bounds. They both almost entered the late stage of refining essence into qi one after another.

At the same time, he was appointed as the commander of the Nagasawa County Jiantiansi five years ago.

I only heard Yi Mu's spirit on the main seat speak:
"You two will lead the Changze Feiyu Guards to go out to Xiangzhou and spread out to various places outside the country to closely monitor the movements of the Guiku Sect. At the same time, you will find out the Guiku Sect's goals and whether they should split up their forces, etc."

At this point, Yi Mu's jade-like face showed a serious expression:
"You two have an extremely important mission. You must find out the movements of the Ghost Crying Sect's army. This information is related to the life and death of Xiangzhou. Whether we can respond in time depends entirely on the information you two provide."

Yuantong and Wu Guhan both understood the importance of the matter. When they heard what Yi Mu Spirit said, they both looked solemn and nodded heavily:
"I will definitely do my best to get the intelligence of the Ghost Crying Sect's army!"

Yi Mu spirit nodded and did not emphasize anything more. Yuantong and Wu Guhan were the first elders to follow the main body. Putting aside their strength, at least their attitude towards the mission was impeccable.

Therefore, Yi Mu Spirit was very relieved to entrust the arduous task of finding out the intelligence movements of the Ghost Crying Sect army to Yuantong and the other two.

"Where is the Black Tiger?"

"The end will be here."

"You will lead 10,000 demon soldiers to guard Black Mountain, and the remaining 10,000 demon soldiers will be led by your captain, Wolf, to the border between Changze and Xiangxi to wait for orders."

The black tiger transformed into a humanoid man stood up and clasped his fists in a muffled voice:

"Yes!"

Black Tiger was originally a black-striped tiger enlightened by Chen Yan on his Taoism. Later, he was conferred the title of mountain god by Chen Yan and has been guarding Black Mountain for many years.

His cultivation has not fallen behind either, he has already reached the stage of refining essence into qi. If he were in Black Mountain, with the blessing of the Black Mountain Range, he would even be able to exert the combat power of refining qi into spirit.

Of course, this also means that Black Tiger can only defend Black Mountain and cannot be transferred elsewhere.

Then, Yi Mu's spirit turned his gaze to the forest giant Embatu.

In recent years, due to Embatu's outstanding performance, he was promoted by Chen Yan to the commander of Qianzhong County, commanding 20,000 Qianzhong County soldiers.

"Embato."

"The general is here!"

Embatu obeyed respectfully.

Embatu is the third subordinate of Chen Yan to successfully break through to the stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation after Zhang Yan and Hong Gu. He is also the seventh subordinate of Xiangzhou to achieve Qi Refining and God Transformation. Since Embatu had just achieved the breakthrough recently, this was not included in the intelligence obtained by the Guiku Sect.

I only heard the Yimu spirit on the stage give the order:

"You will also lead 10,000 Qianzhong County soldiers to stand by at the border between Qianzhong County and Xiangxi County. The Qianzhong County capital will be guarded by your lieutenants."

"The general will obey your orders!"

"Where are Qin Chong and Zhang Tianzheng?"

"The general is here!"

Qin Chong and Zhang Tianzheng clasped their fists and stood up to answer.

"You two will each lead 10,000 soldiers from Xiangxi County to guard the important roads to the north and south of Laoshan. You must not make any mistakes."

"I will obey your orders!"

Finally, Yimu Spirit turned his attention to Zhang Yan and Hong Gu:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Yan, Fellow Daoist Hong Gu, I'll trouble you two to gather the cultivation forces in Xiangzhou to assist Laoshan in defeating the Ghost Crying Sect."

"Yes!"

Zhang Yan and Hong Gu both nodded solemnly.

Although the Guiku Sect was powerful, Zhang Yan and Hong Gu did not think that Xiangzhou had little chance of winning, especially when the mysterious Chen Yan's true form had not yet appeared. Who knew if this Master Chen had made a breakthrough somewhere? Moreover, over the years, his Meishan Dao and Lushan Dao had made a lot of money in Xiangzhou. They were almost like the cultivation forces controlled by Chen Yan's official remote control, controlling the entire Xiangzhou cultivation forces through the Meishan and Lushan Dao.

Finally, Yi Mu's spirit did not forget his original body. He looked at Qin Chong and said:
"Don't forget the whereabouts of the main body. The Feiyu Guards in Xiangxi County should not withdraw."

"Yes!"

As Qin Chong respectfully accepted the order, the entire Xiangzhou began to rotate rapidly and steadily as if it were a series of gears connected together.

The deployment of Yi Mu's spirit body is basically carried out in accordance with the guidelines of Chen Yan's original body.

As for why Embatu, Langxing and others led the army to garrison at the border between the two counties, it was mainly because the Yi Mu spirit was not clear about the target of the Guikumen army for the time being.

If the Ghost Crying Sect's army is divided into three groups, then it goes without saying that Embatu and Lang Xing's main goal will be to defend their respective garrisons.

But if the Guiku Sect attacks Laoshan directly, then Embatu and Langxing’s army will definitely rush to the support of Xiangxi County and assist Zhang Tianzheng and others in guarding the important roads of Laoshan.

After instructing Xu Ji and the others, Yi Mu's spirit body turned his attention to the figure at the end and spoke in a cold voice:
"Si Yi, I know you are unwilling to be controlled. I can promise you that as long as you fight with all your might, I can make the decision on my behalf and set you free."

The Four-Winged Cicada, who had been sitting at the back and was taciturn, suddenly raised his head, looked straight at the Yi Mu spirit on the main seat, and said bluntly:

"Is this true?!"

The most noticeable thing is that the aura of the four-winged cicada at this time is even stronger than that of Yi Mu's spirit and Wang Lingguan on the stage.

You know, nowadays Yi Mu's spirit body and Wang Lingguan are both in the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit. The Four-Winged Cicada is stronger than Yi Mu's spirit body and Wang Lingguan. Needless to say, the Four-Winged Cicada's cultivation level has reached perfection in Refining Qi into Spirit.

The reason why the Four-Winged Cicada's cultivation can be improved so quickly is mainly because the Four-Winged Cicada was once a Yin-Shen Demon King who had refined his spirit and returned to the void.

It can be said that other people are practicing, but for Four-Winged Cicada, it is just a matter of picking up their previous cultivation again, which is much easier.

Over the years, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly rich, the realm of the Four-Winged Cicada has changed every year.

Especially recently, not only has he broken through to the perfection of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, he has even revealed a hint of Yin Shen aura.

You know, the Four-Winged Cicada was originally the Yin God Demon King. He returned to being a Yin God, but he did not need the Earthly Evil Yin Vein.

The gradual recovery of strength also gave the Four-Winged Cicada some different ideas.

However, he was afraid of the existence of Chen Yan's real body, and his main soul was in the hands of Chen Yan's real body, so the Four-Winged Cicada did not act rashly.

Now seeing Yi Mu spirit speaking like this, how could Four-Winged Cicada not be excited?
Seeing a trace of doubt on Four-Winged Cicada's face, Yi Mu's spirit also looked directly at Four-Winged Cicada and nodded lightly:
"really."

"Okay! Then I will fight for you in this battle. I hope you can keep your word!"

The four-winged cicada's face turned pale and blue for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

Yi Mu's spirit nodded slightly without saying anything more.

With the departure of the Four-Winged Cicada, he and Wang Lingguan were the only ones left in the huge hall.

It was not until the back of the Four-Winged Cicada disappeared from sight that Wang Lingguan spoke hesitantly:
"My lord, this four-winged cicada... I'm afraid it won't be so easy to obey."

"I know."

Yi Mu's spirit replied calmly:
"I guess he has long recovered his strength to return to the void. He has been hiding for so long and dared not move. It's just that we don't know the whereabouts of his real body."

"Then my lord, you still..."

Wang Lingguan hesitated.

"I know he won't die, but if the opportunity is enough, he doesn't mind giving someone a beating."

The Yi Mu spirit said with an unchanged expression that the main function of the Four-Winged Cicada was to provide a backup. If the twenty-four Bing Fire Thunder God Cannons failed to kill the Ghost Crying Sect's Yin Shen Sanlian leader in a single blow, then the function of the Four-Winged Cicada would be to attack and kill the Ghost Crying Sect's leader who was already seriously injured.

It is impossible for the Four-Winged Cicada to deal with a Yin Shen master in his prime, but it should be no problem to take advantage of the situation to deal with a Yin Shen master who is seriously injured.

Just when Xiangzhou was mobilizing to deal with the Laoshan army.

Outside the Netherworld, a major event also happened on this day in the vast universe of Three Thousand Worlds.

That means the ranking list is suddenly updated!
Almost on the same day, the Tianji Pavilions of all the three thousand worlds announced their latest human rankings at the same time.

The updated list of people was immediately discovered to have differences.

That is, after dominating the first place on the human list for a long time, Chen Yan, who was said to be from a small world, withdrew from the first place on the human list. Not only did he withdrew from the human list, he also directly disappeared from the three lists of heaven, earth and man!

This major discovery immediately caused an uproar in the cultivation world of the Three Thousand Worlds.

The big world of Xuanhuang.

At the gate of the Taoist Alliance, in front of a square, Li Shouyi, dressed in a green Taoist robe, was saying goodbye to his junior fellow apprentice.

Behind him were his fellow disciples who were going to the Netherworld with him. There were exactly seven of them, which was the maximum number of people that the Taoist Alliance ship, the Topaz Gourd, could carry.

"Shouren, I hope that by the time I come back, you have achieved the golden elixir."

Li Shouyi smiled and touched the little Taoist boy's head.

"what?!"

The little Taoist boy Li Shouren, who had originally looked reluctant, was suddenly dumbfounded.

How pitiful!
He has just started practicing!
Just at this moment, a cry of surprise came from a distance:
"What? Chen Yan disappeared from the human rankings?!"

“Hahaha, I knew that this person was able to make it onto the Human Rankings purely by luck. Now his luck has backfired, so he must be dead.”

"Alas, what a pity! I thought he was another young hero from a grassroots background, but he turned out to be..."

The sudden sound of discussion immediately caught Li Shouyi's attention.

When the Taoist League disciples who were discussing the matter walked in, Li Shouyi hadn't spoken yet, and the little Taoist boy Li Shouren beside him couldn't help but ask curiously:
"I don't know what you are talking about, brothers?"

The few Dao League disciples who were discussing this finally saw that it was Li Shouyi who was in front of them, and they quickly saluted:
"I've met senior brother!"

Li Shouyi smiled and nodded, then mentioned a name that he was quite concerned about:
"You were talking about Chen Yan just now? What happened to him?"

Li Shouyi was still very curious about this person who was not born into a top-tier force but managed to surpass all the three thousand top-tier geniuses in the world and become the number one.

I only heard a Dao League disciple say truthfully:
"So that Senior Brother can know, the Tianji Pavilion just announced the latest list of people, and it shows that Chen Yan is no longer on it. Many people speculate that he must be dead."
