Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 537: Leizhou Battlefield, Gambling on the Family's Fate! (Two in One)

On this day, when Song Changming walked out of Yiziyuan, he saw Cang Jishi appearing in Fudaoyuan wearing a disciple's Taoist robe.

"Hey, senior, we meet again." Cang Jishi seemed very happy to see Song Changming again.

"Congratulations." Seeing that the other party got what he wanted and passed the assessment to enter Tiandao Academy, Song Changming nodded.

"Thanks to you, senior, everything went smoothly." Cang Jishi bowed.

"Are you coming to Tiandao Academy to practice the art of talismans?" Song Changming asked curiously.

The huge Tiandao Academy is not only good at the art of talismans, there are also many martial arts practitioners. There are also some strange arts such as Qimen Dunjia and divination and celestial observation, which are also very famous among the human race.

If not for this, Li Jinyu would not have chosen to join the Tiandao Academy. He did not know the art of talismans, nor did he practice martial arts. All he delved into was divination and fortune-telling.

"Not entirely." Cang Jishi shook his head and explained.

"The senior examiner at Tiandao Academy said that I have excellent talent in the art of talismans and I also have good talent in divination and fortune-telling. I can practice both at the same time. He also found two guides for me."

"Oh? Which two?" Song Changming has become quite familiar with the Fu Dao Academy recently. He has communicated with many Fu masters and their disciples. They confirm each other's insights in Fu Dao, and both sides can benefit a lot. This is much better than working alone in isolation.

The talisman masters in the Fudao Academy are not xenophobic. They only recognize the strength and inferiority in the art of talismans.

As long as your attainments in the art of talismans are high enough, you will be respected here and many people will be willing to talk to you. Otherwise, no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you will be looked down upon and feel neglected here.

Cang Jishi shook his head. He had just arrived and had not met his two guides yet, so he came to Fu Dao Temple to wait.

"Hello, Senior Song. I am your humble servant." At this time, Liu Jun came quickly from a distance, as if he had heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly bowed and said.

"So it's Liu Jun. Are you the one who's going to take care of him?" Song Changming understood after hearing that.

He had dealt with the person in front of him several times during this period.

Among the younger generation, his attainments in the art of talismans are considered to be quite outstanding. At such a young age, he has already reached the level of a fifth-level talisman master and is even approaching the threshold of a sixth-level talisman master.

It is definitely enough for him to lead Cang Jishi in the art of talismans, and it can even be regarded as paying enough attention to Cang Jishi.

"Yes, senior." Liu Jun also admired Song Changming's level of talismans, so he was very polite and respectful to Song Changming.

"The other one."

"It's me, Brother Song." Li Jinyu rubbed his messy long hair and walked over with an unwilling look on his face.

"I just learned about this from the old master."

As he spoke, Li Jinyu sighed.

Given his lazy personality, he doesn't want to do such troublesome work as training new people.

But unfortunately, he had offended the old dean before, so the matter became non-negotiable.

"It can even alarm the head master. Doesn't that mean that young friend Cang is quite talented?" Song Changming said with some surprise after hearing this.

"Well, I think so." Li Jinyu looked at Cang Jishi.

Cang Jishi immediately bowed and greeted Li Jinyu, who was of higher generation and status, and Li Jinyu nodded in response.

"Okay, Brother Li, Young Master Cang has a good personality and won't cause you any trouble." Since they had met by chance before, Song Changming also said a few good words to Cang Jishi to comfort Li Jinyu.

"Since even Brother Li said so, what else can I say?" Li Jinyu had given up struggling a long time ago and just thought of it as having someone else to talk to on a daily basis.

Time passed day by day. After staying in Tiandaoyuan for a while, Song Changming went to the Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains and visited major religious sects such as Xingzhai Pavilion and Fushan Sect.

These are all authoritative places for the human race’s talismanic art. Like the Tiandao Academy, each of them has research results on the Star-Sealing Array.

Thanks to the convenience provided by Emperor Yun, these sects were also willing to give Emperor Yun face, allowing Song Changming to obtain the research results of the Star Sealing Array very smoothly.

In this way, he was able to develop the Star Sealing Array to more than 10% completeness in a short period of time, which was considered a very fast progress.

This is the result of the hard work of many predecessors, which has led to the current 10% progress.

After that, with no new research results to study, Song Changming's speed of studying this tenth-level formation plummeted in an instant.

And this is inevitable.

Fortunately, he has a panel. As long as he maintains the status reward of hard work every day, he can gain experience points through research and practice, even if it is useless work in the eyes of others, and forcibly improve the completeness.

It's just that this efficiency is very low. It can only ensure that he won't stagnate for a long time and will make a little progress every day.

During this period, in addition to the research progress of this tenth-level formation, Song Changming's attainments in the art of talismans also made great progress.

I meet various high-level talisman masters every day, and I can always dig out new inspiration from them, and I often feel like I have suddenly realized something during the communication.

He has already begun to try to create his own sixth-level rune, just like the signature rune, Tianguang, of Qianyuan, the chief rune master of Cuibai Dao.

It was only after Song Changming learned this sixth-level rune under Qian Yuan's instruction that he officially stepped into the realm of a sixth-level rune master.

Being able to develop high-level runes by oneself is the most amazing skill in the eyes of rune masters.

There are quite a few such innovative talents in these major sects.

Song Changming planned to use the sixth-level rune as a basis after he created it, and then further create the seventh-level rune, thus becoming a seventh-level rune master in one fell swoop.

Of course, these are all things in the future.

At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, Song Changming whistled, and the sound spread throughout the valley.

Soon, two swift gusts of wind, one yellow and one white, blew and landed in front of Song Changming.

"Is it fun outside?" Song Changming rubbed his two dog heads with a smile.

Dahuang and Dabai squatted, lowered their heads and called out happily twice as a response.

When he went to Tiandao Temple, he released the two big dogs into the wild, letting them run wildly and chase each other all over the mountains.

Now, almost two months have passed and the weather has turned cold. Song Changming calculated that it is about time to go home.

Anyway, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved, and he can't stay abroad for a long time.

"Master, are you going back?" Su Qingqing, who had been following him all the way, couldn't help but ask.

"Why, you don't want to go back?" Song Changming said with a faint smile.

"How could that be?" Su Qingqing shook her head. She missed home a lot after being away for so long.

Following Song Changming on this trip, she gained a lot of knowledge and got to know many disciples from major sects. It was interesting and novel, but not so interesting that she would not want to leave.

"Let's go back." Song Changming said, turning over and sitting on Dahuang's back.

"Okay." Su Qingqing smiled and fell on Dabai.

Time flies and it’s December.

Another year is coming to an end, and the streets and alleys in the city are starting to be decorated with lights and colors to welcome the New Year. The most simple wish of the people is that the next year will be like this year, with good weather, peace and prosperity.

They don't know about the catastrophe that will destroy the world, nor do they understand major events such as the war between the human and demon camps and the revival of the human race.

They only know that this year has been smooth sailing, they have been healthy and free from disasters, and they hope that next year will be the same.

However, in the meeting room of the palace, the atmosphere was not as lively and harmonious as the streets in the city, but rather a bit dull.

Song Changming sat in his seat, looking at the special envoy from Yundi City in front of him with a bitter smile on his face, and remained silent.

Sitting on the main seat, King Cui also had a frown on his face, tapping the tabletop with his fingers in annoyance.

"Last time, 10,000 elite soldiers with innate strength were barely enough. If we need to recruit more now, my army should be disbanded on the spot." King Cui shook his head and said to the special envoy.

"I also understand the difficulties Your Majesty is facing, but now the battle in Leizhou is advancing layer by layer, and the fighting is becoming more and more intense. It is the time to use people. Not only Your Majesty's Cuibai Road, but also other states and fiefdoms are the same. I still hope that Your Majesty will put the overall situation first."

The envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly.

"How many people are needed this time?" King Cui sighed and asked.

"Three thousand elite innate warriors." The envoy said the number carefully.

"This level of withdrawal is already a battle for the country's destiny! If we fail to capture the two states of Lei and Yan this time, the entire human race will be seriously damaged!" Hu Zhong listened from the side with an extremely solemn expression.

If one thing goes wrong, the human race may be pushed to the edge of the cliff!

"Isn't this too hasty?" Hu Zong couldn't help but question.

King Cui also stood up suddenly, which scared the envoy.

"I want to see His Majesty. At the very least, I want to know the current situation and why the front line has suddenly become so urgent in just a few months."

"Ah, this..." The special envoy didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this.

He was just following orders and had no power to impose.

"Come here, settle the special envoy in the palace and serve him well with good food and drink."

King Cui said he would leave when he said he would, and he acted decisively.

Before leaving, he thought for a moment and decided to give Song Changming some instructions for the sake of the overall situation.

A list of three thousand elite innate soldiers was drawn up first. This time, he allowed Song Changming to include the royal army under his command in the list, and the soldiers and generals in it could be used for deployment.

After saying this, King Cui left.

The special envoy followed the others to the palace to rest, leaving only Hu Zhong and Song Changming in the conference room.

"If these three thousand elite innate soldiers leave again, it seems that the military will really be disbanded." Hu Zong laughed helplessly.

The mid- to high-end combat power was drained away all of a sudden, and the constructed military system suddenly became unstable.

It is unknown how long it will take to restore the military's combat effectiveness.

"Fortunately, the Nine Netherworld in the southeast is temporarily blocked by the zombie army, so it is not easy for the demons to pass through. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if the demons took advantage of the situation and broke in at this time." Song Changming also shook his head.

"Indeed, at this critical juncture, we have to guard against the monsters playing tricks. Even if there are zombies in the Nine Netherworld, it may not be safe. What's more, the monsters have more ways to invade Yunzhou than the Nine Netherworld." Hu Zhong agreed with this and thought seriously.

Song Changming stood up slowly and shook the Marshal's cloak.

"I'm going to find Lu Yuchen to draw up a list first. Come back to me if there's anything important."

After saying that, Song Changming also left the parliament hall.

Marshal's Pavilion.

"They're actually going to transfer another three thousand!" Wang Wenyu's eyes widened when he learned about this.

This is the first time this has happened since they took office.

"We don't want ordinary soldiers, we want talented generals, this..."

Lu Yuchen on the side was also a little surprised, but he was still calm and said, "Since this is what Emperor Yun meant, I think it is a decision that must be made after careful consideration. Prince Cui's visit will probably not change anything."

"Yeah." Song Changming thought so too.

"With these three thousand Xiantian generals being withdrawn, the defense of the entire Cuibai Road will become very severe. You will be required to provide a new and reasonable deployment plan to prevent internal strife in Cuibai Road and security issues in various places.

Outside, we need to be on guard against the demon tribe. This is very important and must not be ignored."

Song Changming explained many matters to the two men, basically acknowledging how to continue to maintain stability in Cuibai Road when these three thousand elite troops would leave.

After all, with this being the case, there would be very little mid- to high-end combat power left in the entire military, which forced them to prepare for a rainy day.

"Yes." Lu Yuchen nodded in response.

The next day, King Cui returned from Yundi City.

Just as Song Changming thought, this wave of 3,000 elite troops was inevitable.

The reason why the three emperors of the human race mobilized so many troops from the three states of the human race at once was to capture and recapture Leizhou, which once belonged to the human race!
This is a battle that determines the fate of the human race. In principle, each side must try their best to achieve this crucial step towards the revival of the human race.

Such an opportunity will benefit future generations, so naturally, King Cui could not say much after learning about it.

After a few days, these three thousand elite troops left the city in the designated direction.

"Next time you come to borrow people, it will be you and me." Hu Zong watched the three thousand elite soldiers go away and said to Song Changming.

If there is one, there will be two, and there will be three. The battle for a big state will never end quickly, nor will it be decided in one battle. Instead, it will eventually become a protracted tug-of-war.

By then, all the monsters that have been entrenched in Leizhou for many years will fight to the death with the human race. They will also become unprecedentedly united and powerful, and it will not be so easy to drive them away.

That's why Hu Zhong made such complaints.

In fact, this is very likely to happen.

After all, the repeated withdrawal of innate-level combat forces has exhausted the military strength under the command of the kings in various places. After that, they will not consider more when they want support from all parties.

The thirty-six kings of Yunzhou, as well as powerful masters like them, are likely to join the battle one by one!
They represent the last powerful forces in various places and are the last move. Emperor Yun would not want to make this big move unless it is absolutely necessary.

King Cui's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "By then, I hope the war will be nearing its end, and we can determine the outcome in one fell swoop."

Among the three, only Song Changming was the calmest.

What he was focusing on and worried about was the hidden danger of world destruction from the abyss. Compared with the great catastrophe that wiped out all living things, the current dispute with the demon clan seemed a bit trivial.

The battle for Leizhou is not unimportant, but the war has been going on for too long and people are used to it.
