The Emperor is Above

Chapter 340: Ghost Crow, Black Cloud, Dragon Eagle Killing

After Qing Yi finished speaking, the carriage fell silent.

After a long while, Nan Guoshi said in an amazed tone: "No wonder I have heard people say in the past that the Ghost Witch Department has grown rapidly over the past hundred years, thanks to the many contributions of that old witch.

The Guiwu tribe is a wild folk settlement with a long history. It existed before the founding of the State of Xing. However, it suffered a severe blow eight hundred years ago and has been hiding in the Lishui Lake to protect itself.

It was not until the appearance of this old witch more than a hundred years ago that he led the Ghost Witch Tribe to become increasingly powerful. He also took advantage of the defeat of Xian Yu and the empty northern border to almost seize control of the entire northern border.

Fortunately, the newly enthroned Marquis Ying was extremely decisive. He ignored the opposition of the ministers and led the army to pursue across the Yanze Lake as soon as possible.

The Ghost Witch Tribe had just risen to prominence, but due to its inability to cope with the situation, it had no choice but to retreat to the Lishui Lake, which allowed the Twelve Cities in the Northern Frontier to become the territory of the Xing State. "

"The Lord saw through the Ghost Witch Tribe's intentions at a glance. Now it seems that the Ghost Witch Tribe's army entering Yanze is actually part of their many plans over the years!"

San Yisheng was shocked. He was amazed at the generosity of the Ghost and Witch Department, and also admired Qing Yi's keen eye.
"The Ghost Witch Tribe is indeed incredible. As early as last year, they paid a huge price and used the ghost infant to replace the youngest son of Lord Xing as an important chess piece. They also joined forces with the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost God to ignite wars everywhere in the country.

Although the Ghost Witch Tribe suffered heavy casualties when attacking the twelve cities in the northern border, it greatly consumed the national strength of the Xing State, and also caused the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost God to suffer heavy losses in this battle. This may also be the purpose of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

When the Winter Festival Ceremony came, the Ghost Witch Tribe joined forces with the Black Wind Tribe's High Priest, the Five-Directional God, and the Cat Ghost God to launch an attack. With many powerful enemies in the open and evil ghost babies in the dark, they caused great casualties to the country.

At the same time, the Ghost Witch Tribe was likely to secretly ally with Chongguo. The Chongguo army seized Yanjin City in the south, while the Ghost Witch Tribe integrated the people of the wilderness in the north and forcefully entered Yanze to cut off the road to the northern border.

If it weren't for Old Man Shi accidentally breaking through the shackles of the first level and becoming a powerful saint, and if it weren't for the master's profound attainments in runes, he would have been able to repair the city defense formation in time and kill the Ghost King.

I am afraid that the entire Xing State is now in mourning, and the capital has become a den of ghosts. The Ghost Witch Tribe can really successfully seize the northern border."

"That's right. Judging from these circumstances, the old witch of the Ghost Witch Tribe is the cunning one hiding behind the scenes. Even the Black Wind Tribe is being used by him!" Qing Yi nodded solemnly.
“Even though he didn’t expect Old Man Shi to break through the shackles of the first rank, and Ghost King Ningtu was killed by me with the help of the city defense formation, in fact, the Ghost Witch Tribe still suffered the least loss.

During the battle of the Twelve Cities in the Northern Frontier, many Beast Soul warriors were killed in the Ghost Witch Tribe, but the Beast Soul suffered no losses, and most of the dead and wounded warriors were vassal troops.

In the battle of the capital, the cat ghost god died, the twelve divine servants were all wiped out, the Red God of Wealth among the Five Gods was killed, the high priest of the Black Wind tribe escaped but offended the Black Wind God, and the Black Wind tribe gained nothing.

On the contrary, the Ghost Witch Tribe only lost one upper-level witch at the third level, and they still have other upper-level witches to replace them. As for the killed Ningtu Ghost King, they still have the Witch Ghost King to summon.

Moreover, the ten beast souls of the Ghost Witch Tribe are immortal. Even if the current beast king warrior and the nine beast soul warriors are all destroyed, they can still continue to select high-level totem warriors to match with the beast souls. "

Beigong Yu, who had been listening to everyone's analysis, also said with a heavy face: "It seems that the Ghost Witch Tribe is obsessed with the Northern Frontier, and Old Man Shi is involved in the affairs of Chongguo and cannot come to the Northern Frontier for a while.

The Ghost Witch Tribe will never let our team reach Dragon City easily, and will certainly block us in the salt marsh. I don’t know whether the Willow Sacrifice Tribe will join forces with us to fight the enemy, or choose to sit back and watch the fight.”

"No wonder Lord Xinghou gave the master a government office, a fake axe, and asked him to command the military forces of the twelve cities in the northern border. It's obvious that he wanted to make the master a target to attract the attention of the Ghost Witch Department!"

Daniu suddenly jumped up in anger. "When I was in the capital, I thought the king was a good man, and those who targeted the master were just the ministers. Now it seems that they are all birds of a feather. Humph!"

Seeing that even the big guy was so angry, Qing Yi was not angry at all. Anyway, he already had his own goal, so why should he get angry over irrelevant outsiders?
"My Lord, what should we do now?"

As the steward of a household, Gongsun Wu felt the burden on his shoulders was particularly heavy at this moment. From being the steward of a vassal of a noble rank to being the steward of a vassal of a senior official, the responsibilities were very different.

"What else can we do? The entire convoy has already entered the salt lake for dozens of miles. Do we have to turn around and go back?" Qing Yi first smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then his eyes gradually became firm. He looked around at the retainers in the sled and said in a firm tone,
"From last year to now, everyone has been preparing for this migration, and we have done everything we should do fully and completely.

It would be fine if the Ghost Witch Army just sits there and does nothing, but if they really come to stop us, then we will have a big fight with them, which will also be a way to say hello in advance to the Twelve Cities of the Northern Frontier and the various tribes of the wild people."

"Ah-ah-ah-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cries of a group of ghost crow scouts were heard in the distance, which could also be regarded as the reply of the Ghost Witch Department.

"Look, the Ghost Crow scouts of the Ghost Witch Tribe have been watching us from a distance since we left Huoqiu City. There were only three or five of them at first, but now their numbers are increasing."

Qing Yi pointed to a place more than ten miles away. Through the small hole in the carriage, one could see the woods on the high hills and plateaus, where large groups of black birds lived. They were all ghost crow scouts that had been trained through sacrifices.

As the huge convoy continues to move forward, these ghost crows will continue to follow behind. With the continuous flow of ghost crows coming from the surrounding areas, the number of ghost crows gathering is increasing.

When Qing Yi got out of the car and came to the roof, he looked around at the sky and couldn't help but be surprised. With the sled as the center, dark clouds gathered around it to form a huge circular cloud with a diameter of more than ten miles.

"Ah-ah-"

Amid the unpleasant cries of the ghost crows, many brave ghost crows were no longer satisfied with just watching, and actually swooped down to attack the private army and militia driving the carts, and even pecked at the strange beasts pulling the carts.

"Swoosh, swoosh, thin—"

The private army of Guqiu fought back with bows and arrows, but there were too many ghost crows. Even if they killed hundreds or thousands of them, it was of no avail.

Originally, the four dragon claw locust tree spirits were very good at dealing with these evil things, but for some reason they had not made any move.

However, the big rooster and his family were drooling at the sight of so many ghost crows. Sometimes, a golden light that could break evil would hit the ghost crows and transform them into pure auras, but they were taken away by the four tree spirits in the blink of an eye. The angry big rooster crowed loudly in protest.

"Wow—"

"cry--"

Just as Qing Yi was about to make a move, the cries of four dragon eagle elders were heard from high in the sky.

Then four red clouds of fire were seen falling from the sky, rushing straight into the group of ghost crows covered with dense dark clouds like lightning.

At this moment, the red color on the four dragon vultures is not just the red of their feathers. The strange fire that was originally only limited to the tips of their flight feathers is now burning fiercely and covering their entire bodies, just like four firebirds.

Wherever the strange fire passed, the arrogant ghost crows were ignited one by one, falling from the sky with screams, as if it was raining fire, and the ground was covered with charred debris.

Although the number of ghost crows was huge, they could not withstand the wanton killing of the four dragon vultures. After a quarter of an hour, the ghost crows, which had obviously become sparse, dared not continue to fight and fled in all directions.
