Liangzhou City.
It was the capital of a province, and also the largest city at the border.
Now that most of the sixteen prefectures' cult had been destroyed, the command post had been moved to this place.
This city was located in the central area of the Liangzhou City. It was convenient for water and transportation, and the military order could be sent out very quickly.
Li Muyue, the second oldest, Hong Futian, was present as he gave out orders, closely watching the movements around the county.
"How's thirty-six's situation in this period of time?" Li Muyue was reviewing the military intelligence report while listening to seven or eight reports from her subordinates.
Her cultivation had grown deeper, as if she had received another fortuitous encounter, and her spirit had undergone a higher level transformation. At the same time, she had thought many different things, not delaying each other, and her thoughts had collided intensely with her brain for a long time.
No one could clearly see what level her martial arts had reached.
"Reporting to the princess, it seems that Duke Yu has gained quite a bit of development recently. He has gathered more than a thousand village men and has practiced well. However, the people in the town he is in are already completely out of the question. According to his report, he is going to lead some strong men to the princess of Liangzhou City to wait for her orders. They are already on their way. "
A servant girl held a secret letter in her hands. While flipping through ten lines, she kept reporting to Li Muyue:
"A few days ago, news came from the capital saying that His Highness' Fate Lantern was extinguished within the palace. The imperial government ordered us to investigate this matter." According to our intelligence, before the Thirteenth Prince disappeared, the last place he appeared was in the small town where Duke Yu was located. I'm afraid that he had already been killed by him without a trace of evidence.
At the moment, he is a maternal clan member who is supporting His Highness, Mister Jian, in charge of the overall situation. However, this person seems to already know the news of the death of His Highness, so he has already sent a message to the capital, to His Highness's mother, the Imperial Sword Consort, and several other terrifying figures have also descended and gathered in Longzhou City. They seem to want to make a move against Duke Yu. "
"Thirteen is just a piece of trash. He is short-sighted and overestimating others. If he dies, then so be it. He's not worth making a fuss about. We will just follow the rules of the imperial court and deal with it. Now that he is fighting for the throne, everyone knows everything and even the emperor has his eyes closed. Why do we need to find out everything? "
Li Muyue stopped what she was doing, and raised her head: "But it's Old Thirty-six. To be able to do this in such a short period of time, you really can't be underestimated. The people from the sword family wanted to avenge Old Thirteen? This was a suicidal move. They were originally a group of survivors who had luckily survived under the Emperor's command several decades ago, and now they still wanted to interfere in the fight for the throne, attacking a prince. They simply did not know if they were going to die or not. Not to mention that right now, the thirty-sixth brother is only at the peak of his power and has already formed his wings. With the Sword Family, they might not be able to win anything from him. "
"No matter what, the sword family is one of the hundred great families of the Middle Ancient Era, descendants of the Sword Sage. Their foundations are deep, how could they not be able to take down even a single single ruler?" That servant girl had a different opinion, so she asked.
"No, do you think he is just a facade? The reason I sent him to Long County was actually to use the pressure from the cult to force out the hidden forces behind him. I had originally thought that the other party only had the Li Palace Wonderland behind him, but right now, I feel that it's far from being like this.
Li Muyue's eyes flashed, "Against the power behind this person, if the remnants of the sword family didn't know about it, they would definitely suffer a great loss. Who exactly was the power behind this person? "He shouldn't be from Buddhism, otherwise he would definitely be exposed, because I have been watching the buddhist youth, Brahma the Heavens. I was just prepared for him to come in contact with Old Thirty-Six in the dark and cause trouble."
"A few days ago, Master took the sixteen commanderies' army and completely killed the Void Daoist and obtained many treasures, including a 'Great Vacuum Hand Seal', which is a cultivation method for the supreme God Soul. However, this secret method requires the assistance of the 'Lifeless Divine Puppet', which can absorb the thousand-year-old peach wood spirit and strengthen the soul, in order to successfully cultivate it. From what I can gather, this Puppet is currently in the hands of my Lifeless Mother. Now, my Lifeless Mother, this devil, is preparing to attack Longzhou City. "
The servant girl once again expressed her opinion and offered a sinister plan to have Li Muyue lie on the stream and watch the water flow while reaping profits from the fishing:
"Since Duke Yu has a terrifying power hidden behind his back, why don't we order him to eliminate the Lifeless Demonic Sect, kill his old mother, and pacify the chaos in Long County? This way, we can observe his trump card and also obtain the location of the Lifeless Divine Puppet. "
"Vacuum Hand Seal. It is indeed a transcendent divine spirit technique. It is the legendary supreme heart technique of ancient Buddhism. Among the three Buddhist scriptures in the past, present, and future, there is a page of the" Seven Buddha Heavenly Scriptures ". Legend has it that among the seven buddhist scriptures, there is a buddha named 'Vacuum Immovable Buddha'. Once the soul enters, it will be cultivated into a clone. Once the soul is successfully condensed, it will become a Great Buddha in itself, standing motionlessly in the middle of the sky, afraid that the body will be destroyed by someone, the soul will be able to escape, and will become an incarnation outside the body, eternal and eternal. "
"I wonder where Daoist Vacuum and Mother Lifeless managed to get their hands on this treasure, but they walked the evil path of establishing a cult. They wanted to use the burning incense of the followers of the evil sects to condense their incarnation, to twist the original intent of the magic, and so ended up losing the upper hand. However, I have a feeling that these two devils are definitely related to the people of the imperial government. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sweep through seventeen counties in a short few months. But I don't have any evidence either, so I can't report this directly to the imperial government. "
As for Old Thirty-Six, they could no longer be coerced. Otherwise, they would definitely provoke criticism in the imperial court. In any case, I still need some time before I can reach the Divine Vault level. Even if I get the Lifeless Divine Puppet, I won't be able to practice the Great Vacuum Hand Seal technique. Right now, I just need to use other methods to slowly draw it. "
"Master!"
"Just now, Duke Yu had sent a secret letter saying that an army of over ten thousand foreign forces had sneaked into the Twin Realms Mountain and were wandering around the territory of Long Prefecture. They wanted to do harm to the city, but they met with him and were killed hundreds of times, exploded a thousand times, and killed Old Mother Lifeless and Ape God Ape. The foreign forces were unable to escape."
"What?"
Li Muyue stood up, and her eyes revealed a strange light: "Just now, we were just discussing the matter of the Lifeless Old Mother, we didn't think that this demon had already died in the hands of this person. Lifeless Old Lady and Ape can't do it. If we add on Venerable Blood Transformation, Daoist Dragon Tiger, Subjugated Granny Nine Ghost, and the Vacuum Monarch that died in my hands, wouldn't all the Demons and Sect Leader be annihilated? Isn't the cult already dead in name? "
"Investigate!" If it's true, then who can compete with him for credit? Who would dare to call him a useless prince or a fool? Even number two would be defeated by him, and lose face in the imperial court. " Li Muyue waved her hand and commanded.
"This …"
The servant girl had a weird look on her face as she stuttered, "King Yu is now at the canal located a hundred miles outside of Liangzhou City. He will arrive at Liangzhou City in an hour's time and Master will soon be able to verify the truth personally. In addition, the Second Prince and Mister Jian also received the news and were waiting for Duke Yu to arrive at the yamen.
"Let's go …"
Hearing this, Li Muyue immediately walked out the door and strode towards the county magistrate.
"..."
Hong Yu rested in the town for half a day before he finally led his men and left.
Everyone majestically left the town, passing through the primeval forest into the canal crossing. They boarded a passing merchant ship and went straight up the river.
They headed to Liangzhou via the water route.
In this half a day, there were a total of three hundred tiger and wolf warriors who had taken the Loyal Liver Pill. After taking the Heart Refining Pill, their martial arts had advanced greatly.
Among them, there were two hundred and eighty-one soldiers who had gained spirit.
Out of the two hundred and eighty-one people, only fifty people successfully entered the Spirit realm. With the Earth Terminus Aura entering their bodies, they became true experts. They fought one against ten, or even one against a hundred.
There were also Granny Nine Ghosts, Feng Huizhou, the three colored sisters, and others, who also consumed their own Heart Refining Pills. Their progress was especially obvious, the spirit of their martial arts suddenly became more vigorous, and even faintly exuded a round jade-like aura, a vigorous spirit, and it was a sign that they were about to break through their limits once again and break free from their shackles.
With over a thousand soldiers, three hundred elites, fifty warriors of the Spirit realm, and five shackle-level elites, Hong Yu's team was finally on the initial scale.
Previously, when Li Mu Yue let him enter Liang Prefecture to destroy the cult, he had achieved great results after a month. Not only did he eliminate all the upper echelons of the cult in one fell swoop, he had even cultivated his own forces.
The town was now empty, devoid of any food, resources, and even on the road that the non-humankind army had to cross. Although Hong Yu had made the army suffer heavy losses and disappear after retreating, there was always the possibility of a comeback, and at that time, the whole town would not be able to survive.
Whether it was in terms of development or security, they couldn't stay in the town for long.
It just so happened that he could head to Liangzhou to report to Li Muyue and replenish his energy. He could temporarily rest and wait for orders from the imperial government.
Within the borders of the Liangzhou region, the canals were extremely developed. As they surrounded the city, the water veins radiated all over the city like a spider web, crisscrossing one another.
In just half a day, Hong Yu and his men arrived at the ferry near Liangzhou.
"King Yu, are we entering the city now?" Feng Huizhou walked up and carefully asked.
"Yes!" Inform everyone to move forward at full speed. Pay attention to your bearing and don't lose any face for me. " After Hong Yu gave the order, these soldiers all understood the principle of 'martial law is like a mountain'. Maintaining a solemn expression, they followed behind him and advanced at full speed. They could not hear any noise.
This was the second time he had come here. The first time, he had been humiliated and ridiculed by Hong Lingtong. He had even used the jade pendant that belonged to his mother to provoke him.
This time, he had come back to this place, and he had set up his own team. He had also made many meritorious deeds, and this was the perfect opportunity to get back at them and strike them hard in their faces!
The group advanced in silence, and in a few moments, they approached Liangzhou City from the ferry.
As the capital of a region, Liangzhou City had an extremely large target. There was no lack of evil cult, foreign race, and bloodstains on the road. There were also many dead mounts, arrows on the ground, broken armor, and broken swords.
It was obvious that they had gone through bitter battles, but the corpses and intact weapons were nowhere to be seen. However, they had all been swept clean and reduced to dust.
It seemed that it wasn't just the alien army that appeared in Long County. There might even be a small foreign army infiltrating the entire territory of Liangzhou.
"Stop!" Who are you? "
However, they were secretly guarding the sentries that were hidden on both sides of the main road. They let out loud roars, shot out rows of sharp arrows at the same time, and landed in front of Hong Yu and the others. At the same time, someone shot out an ear-piercing whistle, signalling for the people within the city to support them.
"This kind of alertness is indeed extraordinary. This was Li Muyue's personal soldier, the elite of the Iron Blood Marquis? No wonder she could fight against sixteen prefectures of evil on her own, and even the Void Daoist died to her hands. " Hong Yu secretly nodded his head. He noticed that in the opposing camp, they were all elites in red uniforms with iron flags in their hands.
This sort of soldier attire could only be possessed by the personal guards of the Marquis of Iron Blood. Clearly, they were all Li Muyue's men.
"Bring out the flag!" Hong Yu waved his hand and gave the order.
Immediately, Feng Huizhou and the three colored sisters swiftly threw out Hong Yu's Royal Flag, and shouted loudly, "We are the private troops under Duke Yu's command. We have long since sent word to the lords in the city and let them through quickly."
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask around."
A scout jumped out from the group and immediately returned to the city. Around half a cup of tea later, he came back and shouted loudly, "Duke Yu, my princess and Prince Fu Tian have been waiting in the city for a long time. Please move to the government."
"Hong Futian is waiting for me too? "The weasel is here to pay his respects to the chicken. He has no good intentions, and might even use the death of Old Thirteen as an example. However, we'll deal with him when the time comes, so we shouldn't be afraid of him." Hong Yu's mind slightly spun, but he did not waste time and directly led his men straight in.
This place was worthy of being called the capital of a province. Although there were small foreign troops repeatedly hounding them, the people in the city were not affected at all. The place was still bustling with noise and excitement, with streams of people flowing in and out like a tide.
However, there were many soldiers patrolling the city wall and the main road. Along the way, Hong Yu experienced countless sentries and sentries. The city gate was guarded even more strictly, searching the flow of people to prevent foreign race and evil sect spies from sneaking in.
The city was even more heavily guarded, guarding against any experts who might come in, slaughtering the common people, assassinating the officials of the imperial court, the high-ranking officials, going up and down the city, going up and down the streets one step at a time, wearing a kind of armor that was as thin as a cicada's wing, the armor was like a snake's scales, countless tadpole like runes were floating on the surface of the armor, emitting a brilliant light, and even the area around the eyes was covered with a dark red transparent lens.
"Great Python Armor?"
Hong Yu's eyelids twitched in astonishment.
This was the latest treasure developed by the Imperial Institution of Divine Arts. It was made from Hundred Refinement Essence mixed with various kinds of rare metals, refined and refined. Then, the master craftsman would draw spell symbols on it, soak in the hundred-year Great Python's blood, and infuse it into the Great Python's blood spirit armor before it could truly take shape.
Even if a normal person wore that armor, they would have the power of a python. It was equivalent to a 3rd level Mortal Realm expert and they could even defend against normal blade and sword attacks.
If a martial artist at the peak of the Mortal Realm wore it, he could even kill those who entered the Spirit realm and only condensed several strands of Earth Terminus Aura.
This armor was extremely precious. Even within the imperial government, there was only a small amount of it circulating. Only the elites of the Twelve Military Generals were able to equip it.
However, almost all the soldiers in the city were present, leaving Hong Yu dumbstruck.
"It seems that I have spent my time observing the sky. I originally thought that with fifty Spirit realm experts, hundreds of Mortal realm experts, and over a thousand tiger wolf soldiers, I would be able to compete with Hong Lingtian. But now, it seems that it is far from enough and is not even enough.
Hong Yu secretly compared and realized his own inadequacy. He gradually retracted the complacency in his heart, "That's not important, even ordinary soldiers wear Great Python Armor. What kind of armor should Hong Futian, Li Muyue, and the others wear? Was it the Great Boa Armor, or was it an even higher grade Venomous Condor Armor? "
In addition to the Great Python Armor, there was also an even more advanced Great Python Armor, Poisonous Serpent Armor, Dragon God Armor, and even the legendary Horned Dragon Armor …
