Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 93: Empty City Trap, Break the Situation with the Tactics
The siege was fought in a standard manner, mainly because Dou Eqing did not want his side to suffer too much loss.

After all, taking down the Huhua Sect is a foregone conclusion.

If we take down the Huhua Sect and have the territories of both sects, it will be difficult to develop due to insufficient manpower.

The territory of the earth is already very vast, and the challenges to be faced are not only those of other forces, but also those of demons and independent cultivators.

Otherwise, the business you run will be robbed and you will end up becoming someone else's poor choice.

Climbing up the cloud ladder to the city, the first thing to do is to let the Fire Rat Demon consume the manpower of the Flower Protection Sect, and then let the Jindan monks attack the city wall.

In addition, each Jindan cultivator also brought a foundation-building cultivator to the city wall.

In this way, when the Jindan cultivator sees that he is intercepted, he will give up halfway because the task is impossible.

Hidden Dragon City has two gates.

One is the east gate that Hezong is attacking; the other is the south gate.

On the third day of the siege, both sides rested for half a day.

As the war was about to begin, a cultivator from the Huhua Sect passed a message to his former fellow disciples, that is, the cultivators who had surrendered to the Hezong Sect, saying that the cultivators in Canglong City had escaped from the south gate.

So, the monks of Hezong attacked the city in a panic and broke through it in half an hour.

But I didn’t expect that Canglong City would become a deserted city.

However, they did not chase the fleeing monks of the Huhua Sect from the South Gate, but instead headed towards the Huhua Sect's mountain gate.

Although Dou Eqing was cautious and left one-third of the cultivators to guard Canglong City to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation.

However, one-third of the people had to guard two city gates, and the troops were forced to disperse.

Just as Dou Eqing expected, the monks who left from the south gate suddenly came back.

However, Dou Eqing and two-thirds of the monks army were "lingering" at the gate of the Huhua Sect.

At the gate of the Huhua Sect, Dou Eqing did not encounter any resistance at all, and the rebel monks personally came to greet Dou Eqing and his companions.

Not only did he not resist, he also said that all the resources here were intact and allowed the monks of Hezong to count them.

This inventory of resources is naturally very attractive.

As a result, two-thirds of the monks of Hezong were dragged to the mountain gate of Huhua Sect.

In the end, it was Zhang Liao who took a shortcut and secretly passed the information that Canglong City had been recaptured to Dou Eqing.

The monks who escaped from the Huhua Sect found reinforcements from somewhere and took back Canglong City in two hours.

According to the previous rules of warfare between forces, if the Huzong City was breached, the mountain gate would have to be surrendered.

In other words, Hezong suffered heavy losses in attacking Huhuazong and fought in vain.

This reminded Dou Eqing of a strategy from his previous life: the empty city plan.

So, he simply used the opponent's strategy against him.

He and Wu Ni hid in Ziwei Immortal Mansion and asked other cultivators to surrender and merge into the Huhua Sect, becoming a faction of the Huhua Sect.

This move of his made the leader of the Huhua Sect helpless, so he quickly contacted the people behind him.

Seven days later, a mysterious female cultivator came to Canglong Mountain, and the two sects merged under the leadership of this female cultivator.

This made Dou Eqing see the other side of the situation.

This girl comes from Caihua Pavilion in Caihua City. Her name is Sheng Cailing and she has reached the peak of Nascent Soul stage.

It turns out that Caihua Pavilion only does things for money, and their target is Dou Eqing.

However, now that the real owner has disappeared, all the plans have gone to waste.

After Sheng Cailing received the order, Caihua Pavilion simply merged Hezong and Huhuazong into their own sect.

Caihua Pavilion originally had no power over the territory, it only occupied a few ascension platforms in the territory to make profits.

However, Sheng Cailing believed that Dou Eqing might still be in Canglong Mountain, and planned to lure Dou Eqing out by killing several core monks of Hezong.

Dou Eqing really showed up, but the ending was not what Sheng Cailing wanted.

Just as Sheng Cailing was about to chop off Liu Zongyuan's head, Dou Eqing had Hua Bubai launch a sneak attack. Although she was only one step away from the Spiritual Transformation Realm, she was powerless to fight back against the sneak attack from a Spiritual Transformation Realm expert.

Fortunately, Dou Eqing had no intention of killing Sheng Cailing, and was only captured alive.

"I have no grudges against your Caihua Pavilion in the past or in the present. I really want to know why Caihua Pavilion attacked my Hezong?"

He first planted the Demon Slave Seal on Sheng Cailing before asking the other party.

"My Caihua Pavilion really shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. You actually know how to plant the Demon Slave Seal!"

Sheng Cailing did not respond to Dou Eqing's greeting immediately.

She had just been planted with the Demon Slave Mark, and still had a trace of will to resist.

"Oh, you know a lot about the Demon Slave Seal."

"Humph! I'm not just from the Flower Picking Pavilion. Even though you planted the Demon Slave Mark on me, you should be thankful that you didn't let her kill me before."

"If I kill him, will I be doomed?"

"Of course. I'm a gifted cultivator trained by the Judgment Hall. I've cultivated for seven hundred years to reach my current level, but I never imagined I'd be in such trouble today. I never imagined you'd dare to violate the Judgment Hall's responsibilities and once again involve a Spiritual Transformation cultivator in the conflict between third-order forces."

Dou Eqing was shocked by the information contained in Sheng Cailing's words.

However, he deliberately hid this surprise perfectly.

"What happened to the Demon Slave Seal?"

He intentionally changed the subject, but in his heart he was concerned about the other party's identity as a genius disciple of the Judgment Hall.

However, the Infinite Merit Pearl came to join in the fun at this moment and issued a task in his mind:
"Take the Holy Spirit as your lust slave and reward it with special Heavenly Source Liquid."

This task made Dou Eqing subconsciously look at Sheng Cailing's appearance.

Sheng Cailing had very short black hair, which made her look less feminine in his opinion.

Looking at her delicate facial features, she is a real beauty.

However, looking down, her breasts were too small, which reduced her femininity in his eyes.

Sheng Cailing gave Dou Eqing the feeling that she was just a little sparrow that could be hung in a cage and admired.

Dou Eqing endured the pain and let the Infinite Merit Pearl deduct his merits. It just so happened that there were still merits to be deducted after the battle.

As soon as the Infinite Merit Pearl interrupted him, Dou Eqing ignored Sheng Cailing's description of the Demon Slave Seal.

According to Sheng Cailing's description, even a Demon Emperor at the Mahayana level might not be able to cast the Demon Slave Seal, and the only way to control his subordinates is through poison pills or placing restrictions in the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness.

The Demon Slave Seal changes the consciousness of the demon slave. This method is infinitely close to the Tao.

Dou Eqing was able to perform the Demon Slave Seal purely by chance.

On the one hand, his own body is not his original body, but the soul consciousness that came from the earth;
In addition, his fusion of the Demon Lord Kuanhai's memories is, to a certain extent, equivalent to replacing Kuanhai in a certain period of memory.

In other words, when he cast the Demon Slave Seal, it was actually the Demon Lord Kuanhai who was casting it.

Dou Eqing was able to integrate Kuanhai's memories in this way, on the one hand because of the special nature of his soul traveling through time, and on the other hand because of the treatment of Kuanhai's soul by the Infinite Merit Pearl.

The memories that Dou Eqing integrated into Demon Lord Kuanhai were constructed from his spirit souls, but these spirit souls had lost consciousness.

He recalled what Sheng Cailing had said and realized that Hezong was now being targeted by Caihua Pavilion.

So, simply subduing the Holy Spirit cannot solve the fundamental problem.

As for Dou Eqing now, he couldn't touch Sheng Cailing even if he didn't want to, nor could he kill him.

He didn't need the special Tianyuan liquid for emergency treatment now, and he still had merits to deduct, so he was not tempted by the reward of infinite merit beads.

"Where should I go from here?"

He weighed the issue of joining the sect and traveling over and over again.

If he fought with Caihua Pavilion, he would be stuck in the sect, and there was no guarantee of a result.
