Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

So, the three Yang Gods climbed to the top of the mountain and started a large search.

1.20 His Majesty the Emperor is despised

There are quite a few disciples of the Mad Dragon Gang and stragglers of the Flame Phoenix Sect gathered from various places on the Flame Phoenix Mountain. There are no less than 300 of them in total, and their overall cultivation is quite high, so they can be considered a good fighting force.

But with the combined efforts of the White Horse Guards and the Fierce Sparrow Guards, these forces were completely negligible. There wasn't even a fierce battle between the two sides; it was simply a one-sided assassination and massacre by the two secret guards.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Lu Zhanfei and Baili Qiankun.

But Ji Xian and others climbed to the top of the mountain and searched it thoroughly but could not find any trace of Lu Zhanfei and Baili Qiankun.

Later, the White Horse Guards and the Lieque Guards completed the purge, and Su Luoxue and Qin Yuanfang immediately ordered a search of the entire mountain, conducting a comprehensive carpet search for the two men.

But in the end, nothing was gained.

"Strange, how is this possible?" Qin Yuanfang found it unbelievable. "Bai Li Qian Kun might have a way to escape, but with Lu Zhan Fei's skills, it's impossible for him to escape without telling us."

Su Luoxue looked at Ji Xian: "Ji Xian, did you sense them escaping?"

"No, their spiritual energy fluctuations disappeared suddenly, as if they vanished out of thin air."

"I'll go interrogate the prisoners and see if I can get any clues."

Su Luoxue did not hesitate and did it immediately.

There are still a few surrendered members of the Crazy Dragon Gang and the Flame Phoenix Sect, so it's a good time to ask them.

But the result was predictable. The captives had no idea of ​​the whereabouts of Lu Zhanfei and Baili Qiankun. However, they did provide a key piece of information: after Baili Qiankun met Lu Zhanfei on the top of the mountain, the two never came down from the mountain again.

"They didn't come down from the top of the mountain..." Su Luoxue stood in the ruins on the top of the mountain, arms folded, head bowed in thought: "What's going on? Could it be that they really didn't leave Yanhuang Mountain? Is there some mystery on this mountain?"

At this time, Ji Xian came close to Su Luoxue and whispered, "Could it be teleportation?"

"what?"

Su Luoxue frowned and looked at Ji Xian, but Ji Xian continued with great interest, "In one of the storybooks I read before, there was a story about a master who could tear through space and escape to every corner of the world. Luoxue, do you think there is such a method?"

"..."

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but she looked at Ji Xian as if she was a mentally retarded person.

Teleportation, there is no such method in this world.

If there really was one, when Daxuan rebelled, her father, General Yinlong, would have teleported to Chang'an and killed the rebel empress Zhao Tianyue, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles later.

Ji Xian also realized at this time that Luo Xue was looking at her as if she was a fool, and she immediately scratched her scalp and smiled awkwardly.

"Uh, just a joke to liven up the atmosphere, hahaha."

"Luckily you learned your lesson this time."

When Su Luoxue said this, she was looking at the people around her.

The meaning is self-evident. If Ji Xian had said those words loudly just now, I am afraid that he, the emperor, would be embarrassed again.

Ji Xian also understood what she meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There was always a feeling that he, the emperor, was being despised...

But at this moment, a white horse guard suddenly ran up the top of the mountain in a panic and came to Qin Yuanfang and the others to report the news.

"Report to the Marshal, something happened!"

"what happened?"

Qin Yuanfang looked at him, and Ji Xian and Su Luoxue also came over after hearing the sound.

"We've received urgent reports from the garrisons in Lingling and Shen County that a large number of wild beasts are currently heading towards Changsha. Furthermore, we've discovered many exotic beasts that have broken through the defenses from the Southern Yi."

"What did you say!?"

Qin Yuanfang looked extremely surprised. Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but her face also became unbelievable.

The strange beasts from the foreign land of Nanyi...broke through Xueluo City, broke through Lingling City, and headed straight for Changsha?

And this wasn't the strangest thing. After all, the Nanyi defense line was so long, so it was normal for a few to slip through the net. But the strangest thing was the large number of wild beasts forming a beast tide, also coming along with the strange beasts.

How is this possible? No matter if it is a wild beast or a strange beast, it is impossible for them to behave like this. This does not conform to their behavioral logic at all, unless...

Su Luoxue was smart and quick-witted, and she quickly thought of several possibilities.

"Unless there's a trainer or expert driving them, or... a disaster occurred in Nanyi or somewhere else, forcing the beasts to flee, then why would they come to Changsha..."

......

Time goes back two hours ago...

Baili Qiankun and Lu Zhanfei were walking in a dense forest, which did not look like they were on Yanhuang Mountain at all.

But this place was very strange. The sky was completely covered by mud, as if it were an underground world. The mud above the sky was inlaid with a large number of spirit crystals, which emitted a shining light, providing light for the ground like stars.

Therefore, although this world is in a closed environment and there is no torch lit, it is still very bright.

Baili Qiankun walked in front, and Lu Zhanfei followed behind, staring at everything around him in amazement.

There is actually such an underground world beneath Yanhuang Mountain.

"Where is this place?" Lu Zhanfei asked Baili Qiankun.

Baili Qiankun walked ahead and didn't answer Lu Zhanfei's question. Instead, he continued, "Aren't you curious? Fang Tianzhu is only average among the Yang Gods in the world in terms of talent, but why did he become so powerful after his breakthrough?"

Lu Zhanfei had thought about Baili Qiankun's words before, but he didn't think about it in depth.

You know, there are tens of millions of cultivators in the world, but only a few can become Yang Gods. They can be said to be a rare existence.

Even if one has the highest talent or the best opportunity, most Yangshen throughout history have taken decades or even hundreds of years to break through to this realm.

It took Lu Zhanfei one hundred and thirty years to break through to the Yang God level. There are only a few people like Ji Xian and Su Luoxue who broke through at the age of fifteen throughout history, and they can be counted on one hand.

Fang Tianzhu, the leader of the Flame Phoenix Sect, took over three hundred years to reach the Yang God realm. Although it took much longer than Lu Zhanfei, and even less than Ji Xian and Su Luoxue, this was actually the time it took for most Yang Gods to reach this level.

However, Fang Tianzhu was ranked at the top level among the Yang Gods as soon as he broke through, and it could even be said that he was above Lu Zhanfei.

Lu Zhanfei didn't delve into it and just thought that he had some great opportunity.

And now, Baili Qiankun's words seemed to indicate that he knew something.

"Do you know why?"

Baili Qiankun still didn't give a direct answer, and kept talking about himself from beginning to end: "Haha, Fang Tianzhu is a magic cultivator, and the two main things he relies on are the Phoenix Feather Fire and the Demon Sealing Heavenly Thunder. Isn't Gang Leader Lu curious about where he found these two original powers?"

There are many types of cultivators in the world, and magic cultivators are one of the more popular ones.

The so-called magic cultivators are cultivators who rely on spiritual power and magic to practice and fight. Elemental attacks are what they are best at, and they are also the best at applying the power of origin.

The so-called source power is a condensed form of natural power that can be implanted into the human body to exert the true elemental source. Examples include lightning source, fire seed, ink core, ice crystal, etc.

Fang Tianzhu is one of the rare cultivators who practices both thunder and fire magic. Two kinds of original power are integrated into his body at the same time, namely the Phoenix Feather Fire and the Demon-Sealing Heavenly Thunder.

But at this moment, a loud and huge roar came from the distance.

The roar resounded throughout the entire land, and even the earth shook.

Not only that, Lu Zhanfei even felt a strong fluctuation of thunder and fire, the power of which was so terrifying that even he, a Yang God, was frightened and terrified.

"what!"

Lu Zhanfei shouted in shock.

The sound sounded like some kind of bird, but the noise it made was several times louder than a war horn.

"Haha." Facing such a terrifying roar, Baili Qiankun actually laughed: "Sure enough, the contents of the record are true. Fang Tianzhu, Fang Tianzhu, you really have hidden something incredible in your territory."

1.21 His Majesty the Emperor displays his destructive power

All things are spiritual. This idiom does not have a broad meaning, but a common literal meaning.

The world is full of spiritual energy. All things possess spiritual energy, not just humans who have awakened their spiritual intelligence. Animals, plants, and even some magical weapons possess spiritual energy.

Animals with extremely high spiritual power that have even evolved or mutated are called exotic beasts.

Plants with extremely high spiritual power or even magical effects are called spiritual plants.

Spiritual plants are often collected by alchemists for use in refining elixirs and medicines. Exotic beasts, on the other hand, are mostly hunted by humans. In foreign lands and parts of the Central Plains, there are methods for taming them, and many are trained to become exotic war mounts.

Nanyi is the place with the largest number of exotic beasts, and it is also the place where the taming and hunting of exotic beasts are most frequent.

And now, the strange beasts in this foreign land suddenly rioted on a large scale. Not only did they attack Xueluo City, but some of them even broke into the Central Plains, jumped over Lingling, and headed straight for Changsha.

But that's not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is that according to the report of the White Horse Guards, the number of strange beasts is actually not large, but the most exaggerated thing is that it seems that all the wild animals in the entire southern area of ​​Jingzhou are attacking Changsha, forming a huge army of beasts.

The dawn sunshine has just begun to shine on this land, but the people of Changsha are about to face a disaster.

"Quick, quick, evacuate the civilians, quick!"

"Hurry up, take those people away!"

There are many villages and towns outside Changsha City, and emergency evacuation is currently underway.

After learning that a large number of wild beasts were heading towards Changsha, the White Horse Guard and the Fierce Sparrow Guard immediately evacuated the people in these villages and towns, and at the same time notified the Changsha garrison to be on full alert to prevent the beast tide from attacking the city.

At this time, the gates of Changsha City were opened and the people outside were evacuating into the city.

Ji Xian, Su Luoxue, and Qin Yuanfang were standing on the city wall.

"Sure enough, you can see everything in this line of work."

Qin Yuanfang was also full of emotion. He had worked as a constable for a long time before, and later served as the commander of the White Horse Guard for eighteen years after the revival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, this was the first time he had carried out an operation against animals in all these years.

If it was a strange beast, it would be fine, but now we are facing a wild beast.

At this time, almost half of the people below had evacuated into the city.

But Ji Xian's expression was more serious than ever, and her eyes were focused on the distance: "Here it comes."

When Su Luoxue heard Ji Xian say this, she understood immediately.

Ji Xian's perception was inherited from his mother, Empress Dowager Tang Lin. Tang Lin's perception was considered the best in the world, and Ji Xian was also a Yang God, so naturally his perception was about the same as his mother's.

He saw and heard it now.

The beast tide...is coming!

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a large cloud of smoke and dust filled the distance in Changsha City.

Everyone could see that one wild beast after another rushed out from the smoke and dust.

These beasts were of all kinds, including lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, cows, and even elephants. A huge tide of wild animals of various species was rushing towards Changsha City.

The beasts in the entire southern part of Jingzhou seemed to have united together. For some reason, it was really incredible.

But now, all Ji Xian and the others can do is fight.

"All troops, prepare!!"

Qin Yuanfang shouted loudly. Although he didn't have any amplifying device, the sound coming out of his throat resounded throughout the entire city wall.

Under Qin Yuanfang's command, all the soldiers on the city wall set up crossbows and heavy crossbows, and the catapults brought in from the city were also ready. A group of secret guards and shield soldiers outside the city gate stepped forward, ready to engage the enemy at any time.

The people are still evacuating.

The beast tide is approaching Changsha City!

After the beast tide reached the range of the Changsha defenders, Qin Yuanfang made a prompt decision, waved his hand and shouted.

"put!!!!!"

Heavy crossbows and catapults were the first to fire. Shining spiritual arrows and flaming explosives rained down like a rain of fire, unleashing a barrage of devastating explosions upon the beast horde as they landed. For a moment, the area outside Changsha City became a sea of ​​fire.

Flames shot up into the sky and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

In the midst of the raging fire, a large number of wild beasts rushed out and rushed towards Changsha City.

As soon as these beasts broke out of the flames, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

Thousands of archers on the city walls released arrows, which rained down like rain, attacking the beast tide with a force that covered the sky.

Catapults and heavy crossbows were still being fired, and the talismans and formations that had been deployed on the battlefield in advance were also activated. Even some highly skilled sorcerers were launching attacks from a distance.

But even so, the beast tide still advanced despite the heavy bombardment!

"No, the beast tide is too fast!"
