Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 284 The Tragic Ghost Car

Guiche was already afraid of dogs, and now that he was fleeing in panic, he was even less able to resist the attack of the small dog.

In addition, this thin dog is not an ordinary monster, but a Sky-Howling Dog that has devoured the blood and essence of a saint.

So the Ghost Car was miserable again, losing a head. It was only then that it managed to escape the range of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

But before Guiche could breathe a sigh of relief, a three-pointed, two-edged sword came towards him and hit him directly on the back.

Fortunately, the blow was a slap, not a chop, otherwise the Ghost Car might have been cut into two pieces.

Even so, the Ghost Car still vomited blood from the beating. Even the head bitten off by the dog spurted out two drops of its lifeblood.

At the same time, Yang Jian had already taken out a jade bottle and directly collected the two drops of his lifeblood. He then disappeared into the air again.

But at this time, Guiche was no longer able to fight. Fortunately, Ji Meng took action in time, which allowed Guiche to save his life.

Ji Meng fed Guiche a pill, then handed it to the accompanying demon clan and took it back to Beihai City.

After sending the ghost car away, Ji Meng was about to attack Jade Ding Zhenren, but was stopped by Bai Ze.

Bai Ze shook his head at Ji Meng and said, "It wasn't just one person who injured the Ghost Chariot just now. So I suspect there are more Taoist disciples hiding in the dark."

"If we act rashly, we'll inevitably be attacked again. It's better to retreat to Beihai City first and make plans later."

At the same time, Bai Ze had also sent a message to Yuan Futong, asking him to order a withdrawal. After all, at this point, it was impossible to win by stealing the camp.

If we withdraw our troops earlier, we can reduce some losses. Otherwise, if we delay any further, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

Yuan Futong was also helpless at this time, and immediately ordered the army to retreat to Beihai City.

However, while retreating, Yuan Futong did not forget to release the anger in his heart.

Yuan Futong stretched out his hand and grabbed at the void, and an iron rod appeared in his hand. With a slight shake, it was about ten feet thick.

Then he threw the iron rod and smashed it directly towards the Shang army camp. If it really landed on the camp, who knows how many Shang soldiers would be killed.

At this moment, Emperor Xin suddenly jumped up and lifted up the iron rod that was about ten feet thick.

Suddenly, golden light shone all over Emperor Xin's body. A mysterious bird appeared above his head and let out a loud bird cry.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Futong, Bai Ze, and Ji Meng all gasped.

Bai Ze spoke directly, "I've long heard that the current leader of the human race has the strength to move a beam and replace a pillar. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Bai Ze's words awakened Yuan Futong, who knew that if he didn't take back the iron rod, it would probably fall into the hands of Emperor Xin.

At that moment, he thought about it and changed the iron rod into an embroidery needle, which flew back into Yuan Futong's hand.

At the same time, Yuan Futong, Bai Ze, and Ji Meng had already led their troops back to Beihai City and directly closed the gates of Beihai City.

Bai Ze even directly activated the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, covering the entire Beihai City in the formation.

Finally, he even took out a palace and threw it directly into the air.

As the palace rose, waves of mysterious light appeared above Beihai City, eventually enveloping the entire city. However, this lasted only a moment, and Beihai City returned to its original state, unchanged from before.

Little did they know that at this moment, even describing Beihai City as solid as an iron barrel would not be an accurate description.

Because the palace that Bai Ze had just raised was no ordinary thing. It was the Demon Master Palace, the companion spiritual treasure of the Demon Cult leader Kunpeng.

Therefore, at this moment, the entire Beihai City was already protected by the Demon Master Palace. How could it be described as solid as an iron barrel?

After all, the powerful defense of the Demon Master Palace is definitely the best among all defensive magic weapons.

Even the Zhutian Qingyun was definitely on par with the Demon Master Palace in terms of defensive power. After all, Kunpeng had once used the Demon Master Palace to withstand the attacks of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

This is probably the real reason why it took Wen Zhong fourteen years to pacify Beihai City in the original prehistoric trajectory.

However, originally, all of this was prepared for Wen Zhong. Even if Emperor Xin led the army in person, Bai Ze would never have considered using the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array and the Demon Master Palace.

He only wanted Emperor Xin to give up, and then have Wen Zhong come to Beihai City to complete the first step of the saints' plan for the Conferred God Tribulation.

At this point, I can't care about so many things anymore, otherwise, before Wen Zhong even arrives, I will take the help of those Taoist disciples and break Beihai City.

However, Emperor Xin was unaware of all this. He was currently ordering his generals to take stock of the losses inflicted during the battle.

Soon, Li Jing came to see Emperor Xin with the details of the battle damage. He first performed the solemn ceremony of a monarch and a subject before he began to report.

"Your Majesty, because our soldiers slept in their clothes and never left their weapons, we immediately organized an effective defense."

"In the end, our army suffered only about 3,000 casualties in this battle, while we annihilated over 17,000 enemy troops. This is definitely a great victory."

After hearing Li Jing's report, everyone couldn't help but smile, but Emperor Xin's expression was a little gloomy.

Finally, he sighed and said, "This pointless war has resulted in the deaths of 20,000 people on the battlefield. They are all citizens of the Great Shang."

"I swear here today that I will end the conflicts among the human race in my lifetime. I will no longer allow the human race to suffer internal conflicts like this, and I will bring peace to the people of the world."

"Li Jing, order the cremation of all the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle. I will lead them back in triumph and hand them over to their families for burial."

"As for the North Sea rebels, let them rest in peace. After all, they are all human beings, and we cannot let their bodies lie exposed in the wilderness."

Li Jing nodded, then said to Emperor Xin, "On behalf of the soldiers who died in the battle, I thank the king."

As Li Jing handled the bodies of the fallen soldiers according to Emperor Xin's instructions, Emperor Xin's reputation for loving his soldiers like his own sons began to spread among the army.

This boosted the morale of all the Shang soldiers, as they knew that even if they died in battle, their souls would return home. Even their families would receive the king's favor.

Therefore, at this time, Emperor Xin's popularity in the army had reached an unprecedented height, which made Emperor Xin very happy.

Because at this time, Emperor Xin was finally able to prove one thing. That is, he also had the ability to command the three armies. If it weren't for his Taoist magical powers, he might not be much worse than Wen Zhong.

In contrast, the morale in the Shang army camp was high, but in Beihai City, there was a deathly silence.

Even the defenders on the city walls were terrified and hid under the walls, not daring to show their heads.
