My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

At this moment, the child Su Yue was holding also stopped crying and started fussing, the sound of crying echoing throughout the attic.

Su Yue was startled and dared not move again, watching the child nervously.

Why are you crying so hard?

Chapter 71 Full Preparation for War

Qi Yu sped all the way from Blood God Island to the south of the Great Yun Dynasty.

This area was once part of the Great Ding Dynasty, but after the Great Ding Dynasty was destroyed, it was incorporated into the territory of the Great Yun Dynasty.

Qi Yu did not enter the pass because someone blocked him.

Qi Yu was very familiar with the fortress guarding the border.

Su Lie!

This is the commander of the Chilin Army, who recently gained high prestige in the Dayun Dynasty and was even hailed as the God of War.

He has already reached the first rank, becoming one of the top combat forces in the Great Yun Dynasty.

On the open ground in front of the checkpoint, the Chilin Army, equipped with bows, crossbows and rockets, formed a battle formation of 100 men each to resist Qi Yu.

Su Lie should be preparing for his spring campaign, but instead he's here to ambush me. It must be at the behest of Li Muchen and his son.

So, the Great Yun Dynasty was also involved in taking away their child!

"I'll only say it once, get out of the way!!" Qi Yu's cold voice echoed outside the pass.

Everyone knew that Qi Yu was serious, because his words contained an undisguised murderous intent.

If they don't move aside, they really will die!

Su Lie donned his dark blue armor, and his warhorse trotted gently on the ground, ready to charge at Su Lie's command.

"Qi Yu, His Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to set foot in the Great Yun Dynasty!"

Qi Yu's lips curled into a smile, but it looked cold no matter how you looked at it. He raised his hand and cracked his knuckles, making a cracking sound.

"What a loyal dog! I was right when I cursed you! You, Su Lie, really are a dog!"

"Your Su family was slaughtered by the Li family, and only your great-grandfather was lucky enough to escape. You actually turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to such a blood feud, and are willing to be a dog for your enemy!"

"You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

In the past, out of respect for Su Yue, Qi Yu might have avoided Su Lie when he saw him, giving him face.

But now, anyone who gets in the way will be killed!

Su Lie's expression turned serious. He raised his hand and ordered, "Archers, prepare! Fire!"

As soon as Su Lie finished speaking, the arrow rain from the manual was recorded, and Qi Yu's figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the army formation.

A chill swept across the area, freezing the arrows in the sky before they even fell, turning the entire pass into a frozen wasteland.

These soldiers are capable of besieging and killing Grandmasters, and even those who have reached the Dao Integration stage can be fought. As long as those Grandmasters do not possess spatial abilities, they will basically die.

But Qi Yu is not among them!

Human wave tactics won't work on him!

Qi Yu walked past the frozen Su Lie, then through the army of ice sculptures, and stopped in front of the gate.

Bang!

The gate was shattered by Qi Yu's casual wave of his hand, turning into countless fragments.

Inside the gate stood a man. Qi Yu looked at him, his face turning completely gloomy.

"Su Cheng! Are you going to stop me too?"

Li Muchen is indeed disgusting, bringing up Su Lie and Su Cheng.

Su Cheng lowered her eyelids slightly, then sighed, walked up to Qi Yu, and handed him a piece of cloth.

This is a swaddle wrapped around a baby. On the swaddle, there is a drop of blood, whose blood it is, is self-evident.

Qi Yu's breathing became heavy, his pupils turned bloodshot, his white hair moved without wind, and a terrifying pressure descended, causing the entire pass to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

Su Cheng was the closest, and blood even trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Lately, he has been reflecting on whether he and Su Lie made a mistake.

Just as Qi Yu said, the Li family was the culprit who destroyed the Su family.

They're now serving the Li family; isn't that just recognizing a thief as their father?

The Li family seemed to treat them well, even betrothing a princess to them, but in reality, they were monitored every day and lived entirely under the control of the Li family.

They were merely pawns used to keep Qi Yu and Su Chengying's family in check!

Without Qi Yu and Su Chengying's family, he was certain they would never have their current status and power.

Therefore, he was actually very angry about the fact that the Li family and Emperor Xuanzong had joined forces to seize Qi Yu and Su Yue's child.

But what could he do?

He was ultimately too weak!

"Qi Yu, you should go back! If you step into the Great Yun Dynasty, His Majesty, given his temperament, will really take action against the child."

As long as the child is alive, that's enough; missing limbs doesn't affect their life.

If Qi Yu really gets any closer, the next thing he'll send won't just be a piece of cloth.

Qi Yu looked behind Su Cheng and then at the Dayun Dynasty, his eyes turning cold.

Originally, out of consideration for the fact that his predecessor was also a citizen of the Dayun Dynasty, he did not intend to do anything to the Dayun Dynasty.

But now, Li Muchen has eroded even the last bit of his sense of belonging to the Dayun Dynasty.

He never considered himself a person of this world, and naturally he didn't consider himself a person of the Great Yun Dynasty.

The ideals he believed in were not those of the Great Yun Dynasty!

Qi Yu ultimately did not set foot in the Dayun Dynasty, because he knew that Li Muchen would really do something to harm the child.

Be patient!

Qi Yu left, and the pass returned to calm. All three thousand soldiers of the Chilin Army were torn to pieces.

Su Lie did not die, but he lost his right arm.

Then, that evening, the head instructor, Qi Yu, returned to the academy and issued an edict.

Taoism will accept the request of the Great Wu Dynasty to intervene in the war with the Great Yun Dynasty.

The beast tide was stopped by both the righteous and demonic factions, so the monsters did not reach the north.

The northern dynasties are all preparing for war, intending to take advantage of the fact that the righteous and the demonic paths are both preoccupied with other matters to achieve unification.

The sudden intervention of Taoism is undoubtedly a major event.

Moreover, it was Qi Yu who personally gave the order!

That very evening, Qin Xiu and his several highly accomplished junior brothers traveled to the Great Wu Dynasty, bringing with them the latest blueprints developed by Mo Wen, the Hall Master of the Teaching Hall.

Accompanying them was Liu Xuan, a guest minister of the academy.

Subsequently, the Great Qing Dynasty also began to reinforce its troops at Duling Pass, and at the same time dispatched elite troops to support the Great Wu Dynasty.

The weapons equipped by these Great Qing Dynasty officials were all bows and crossbows, which looked the same as those of the Great Yun Dynasty, but there were some differences.

The crossbows of the Great Qing Dynasty were fired in rapid succession!

Moreover, the Great Qing Dynasty established a Divine Artillery Battalion, equipped with the latest cannons manufactured under the supervision of the academy.

Nobody knew what artillery was!

But Li Ming and Li Minghai, as well as anyone who had known Qi Yu for a little longer, all knew what that was!

That's something that can threaten a Grandmaster!

The Great Qing Dynasty has been equipped with the latest equipment, and its combat power has skyrocketed.

Qi Yu even gave the sacred relic, the Shrinking Earth Seal, to Qin Xiu for use in military campaigns.

An army of ten thousand men could travel from the Great Qing Dynasty to the Great Wu Dynasty in just half a day, with no logistical support required.

The Shrinking Earth Seal was created for warfare!

No one would believe that the academy's sudden display of such grandeur was entirely without ulterior motives.

Emperor Xuanzong and the Dayun Dynasty kept the information tightly under wraps, after all, it was not a glorious thing to use a newborn child to threaten Qi Yu.

Qi Yu himself would not say it, and for a time the whole continent had the same question.

What exactly happened?

Chapter Seventy-Two Tricky

The entire mainland was in a tense atmosphere, as the sudden attack by Taoism caught many people off guard.

The specific reason is unknown!

After giving his instructions, Qi Yu set off to return to Taoism, even though his body was aging rapidly.

But upon returning to the Blood God Cult, Qi Yu didn't know how to face Su Yue.

He lost his child and never found him.

Standing in front of the attic, Qi Yu didn't have the courage to push the door open and go in. Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin had already arrived and were standing beside Qi Yu, unsure of how to comfort him.

Qi Yu knew that Su Yue definitely knew he was here!

With a helpless sigh, Qi Yu still took a step forward and pushed open the door to the attic.

He climbed the attic steps to the top floor and saw Su Yue sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her child. He couldn't help but sigh.

Su Yue gently patted the baby in her arms until the baby fell asleep, and then put the sleeping baby into the cradle next to her.
