"Kill!"
A middle aged man in fluttering white clothes struck out with his palm and blasted a demon beast back. After that, a sword appeared from his sleeve and pierced through the demon beast's heart with lightning speed.
In less than a breath.
A demon beast at the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm had died under his sword.
"Sect Master, what should we do now!?" An elder charged over to the side of the middle aged man in white clothes and asked anxiously.
Hearing this.
Miao Kong looked around. His sect was already surrounded by numerous demon beasts.
When he saw this.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Break out! Break out with all your strength! Don't get entangled in battle!"
"What about the sect's foundation!?"
"It doesn't matter if we don't have a foundation. So long as we're still here, we'll definitely be able to regain our prestige in the future." Miao Kong spoke resolutely.
The sect's foundation!
Now that everyone was about to die, what was the point of talking about the sect's foundation?
So long as everyone was still here.
Everything was still hopeful.
If everyone was dead, then the sect's inheritance would really be severed.
He received the order.
That elder nodded and immediately turned around to organize the other disciples to break out.
"A beast tide!"
Miao Kong's expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the large amount of demon beasts in the surroundings.
Everything happened too quickly.
The news that the demon race was about to launch a large-scale attack had just spread, and the beast tide had already arrived in less than four hours.
The sect he belonged to was also a sect of the Spirit Region.
Even though its overall strength was inferior to the great sects of the Spirit Region, it wasn't too weak.
However.
It didn't have the ability to resist the beast tide at all.
At this moment, a violent aura shot over from the sky.
Subsequently.
Miao Kong felt his vision darken, and he instinctively raised his sword to block. In an instant, an enormous force came from his sword and forced him to retreat repeatedly.
When he recovered from his shock.
He saw a thin man staring at him with a malicious expression in the distance.
Miao Kong's expression changed, and he shouted sternly, "Demon race!"
Demon race that could take human form were usually extremely formidable.
And the exchange just now made him feel a great threat.
At the same time.
A black cloud in the sky was approaching from afar.
When Miao Kong focused and looked over, the expression on his face changed drastically.
Demon race!
A large amount of demon race.
Those black clouds weren't black clouds at all, and they were numerous enormous black crows.
Wherever the black crow passed.
Any living being would be reduced to white bones.
The skinny man's hands turned into sharp claws as he sneered, "Humans, none of you can escape today."
Before he could finish his sentence.
He had already disappeared.
The speed was so fast that even Miao Kong, who was at the Airborne Realm, was only able to catch a glimpse of it.
It was similar to this scene.
It had already happened in the Thirteen Prefectures of Great Zhao.
In less than a day, a large number of humans had died. Among them, there were countless forces that had been destroyed by the Demon Clan.
Compared to the human race's current internal strife and lack of strength, the human race was much weaker.
The attack that the Demon Clan had been accumulating for thousands of years was like a hot knife through butter. It was not something that the other forces could contend against.
For a moment.
The armies left behind in the various prefectures had all been mobilized.
All sorts of quests were given to the players to fight the monsters together.
Imperial City.
The battle here was still ongoing.
The message token at Gu Changqing's waist vibrated slightly. Then, he froze and looked at the figures of Eagle Saint and Ghost Saint in the sky. His eyes were cold.
The demons were attacking!
Even Thousand Mountains Prefecture was not spared.
Doing so was tantamount to tearing up the cooperation agreement.
At the same time.
The expressions of the other feudal lords also changed slightly. They had all received messages from their respective prefectures.
"My lord, the demons are attacking. What should we do now?"
Someone in Wuan Prefecture's camp asked in a low voice.
Hearing this.
Shen Hong's expression kept changing. Looking at the battle in front of him, he was also struggling in his heart.
The demons were attacking!
At this time, the most obvious thing to do was to have a truce with the Great Zhao and then turn around to deal with the demons.
However …
As soon as this thought appeared, it was extinguished by Shen Hong.
At this moment, both sides were in a frenzy. The Great Zhao had lost Celestials. On their side, they had also lost Celestials. The casualties of their soldiers were even more uncountable.
Now, the Great Zhao was already at a disadvantage and was about to collapse.
If they gave up in this situation, it was equivalent to giving up the country in their hands.
Moreover, even if they stopped, the Great Zhao might not be willing to join forces to deal with the demons. When that time came, they would be digging their own graves.
Thinking of this, Shen Hong immediately ordered, "Attack, attack with full force. Take down the Imperial City as quickly as possible, then go back to deal with the demons."
After that.
He had already taken out a message token and crushed it.
Subsequently.
The army charged even more fiercely.
In the sky, Eagle Saint had gradually gained the upper hand. Instead, as time passed, Fang Yilan fell into a disadvantage step by step.
In the end.
Eagle Saint was also an expert from ten thousand years ago. In terms of foundation and strength, ordinary people could not compare to him.
Although the human race had tyrannical talent, it was not an easy thing to advance in the realm of mighty figures.
The two fought fiercely for more than ten days, and the battle situation finally became clear.
"Fang Yilan, you are still a little lacking if you want to win against me. This time, I will kill you and destroy the Imperial Astronomer. When that time comes, I will dig up Xi Yingtian's grave and grind his bones to dust!"
Eagle Saint's expression was cold and his words were full of threats.
Boom —
The two collided, setting off endless aftershocks.
Fang Yilan took a step back, his old face full of disdain. He sneered, "You sneaky thing, how dare you say that you can destroy the Imperial Astronomer and disrespect the Human Emperor!"
"So what if you are the Human Emperor, if the Human Emperor was still alive, I would turn around and leave without another word."
Eagle Saint sneered disdainfully, "But now that the Human Emperor has fallen, why else would he be attacked in the Imperial City?"
"Shameless boasting, if the Human Emperor was still alive, how could he let you leave!"
"Humph, anyone can talk big. It's funny that you are still living in the dream of the Human Emperor, it's really sad and lamentable."
While the two were talking, the battle did not stop for half a breath.
Boom!
Another collision.
Fang Yilan snorted, and finally landed on the ground.
Seeing this.
Eagle Saint took advantage of the victory to pursue, not giving the other party a chance to breathe.
Inside the palace hall.
The officials had been watching the battle. When Xi Yang saw Fang Yilan showing signs of defeat, a cold light surged in his eyes.
All of a sudden.
A person came in from outside the hall, knelt down on one knee and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"Panicking, what a scandal!" Xi Yang shouted. Then, he asked, "What happened?"
"The Demon Race, the Demon Race is attacking!"
Bang!
The armrest was crushed. Xi Yang's eyes were cold, and he shouted in a low voice, "What did you say, say it again."
"The Demon Race is attacking, and now all the prefectures are in the flames of war!"
There was a strange silence in the palace hall.
Everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable shock.
Xi Yang looked at the round mirror and suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He shook his head and said, "I never thought that they would covet this country so urgently. The Demon Race's attack did not make them stop."
The news of the Demon Race's attack.
If the imperial court could get it, these rebels would certainly get it at the first opportunity.
But now, not only did they have no intention of stopping, they attacked even more fiercely. Xi Yang knew very well what these people were planning.
But the more he knew, the colder his heart became.
The Demon Race's attack, if they were not careful, they would be exterminated.
In such a situation, these people were still unwilling to give up their plan to break into the imperial city and occupy his country.
To this.
The last trace of emotion in Xi Yang's heart was completely crushed.
"Everyone, follow me. Let's go meet these traitors!"
After sitting on the throne for more than ten days, Xi Yang finally stood up and walked out of the palace hall.
The court officials quickly reacted and followed closely behind him.
Ze An City.
Marquis Beiyun was sitting in the City Lord's residence without moving.
Although he was far away in Ze An City, he knew the situation in the imperial city very well.
To this.
He had no intention of getting involved.
Defending this city was his promise to Xi Yang, as well as his final contribution to the imperial court.
If the imperial court was destroyed, it would have nothing to do with him.
Even if the imperial court won, they could not punish him.
To put it bluntly, he, Xiao Chengfeng, had already done his best to defend Ze An City and force the Wu An Army to retreat.
It was impossible for both him and the Wu An Army to suffer heavy losses.
The army under him.
Every one of them was a citizen of the Beiyun Mansion.
Marquis Beiyun would not let these people die in vain in this meaningless war.
"Marquis, there is urgent news from the Beiyun Mansion!" Su Mingyang suddenly barged into the City Lord's residence. When he saw Marquis Beiyun, he immediately spoke.
Marquis Beiyun opened his eyes and sat up from the couch. He asked, "Did the Demon Race make a move?"
"Marquis, you have great foresight." Seeing Marquis Beiyun's calm expression, Su Mingyang's fear was greatly reduced. He forced himself to calm down. "The Demon Race is attacking the Human Race. Several manors are caught in the flames of war.
The situation in the Beiyun Mansion is critical. "
The Demon Race was attacking!
Marquis Beiyun immediately frowned.
Even though he had thought that the Demon Race might take this opportunity to attack, when he really received this news, he still felt troubled.
However.
Marquis Beiyun did not panic. Instead, he asked, "How is Yuan Zong?"
"When the Moon-Devouring Wolf Clan attacked the Liang Mountain Spiritual Region, a great demon attacked but was stopped by the Sky Corpses. However, in the face of an endless stream of demons, the Sky Origin Sect activated the formation left behind by Qin Shujian and defended the mountain gate.
At present, he can protect himself, but he is not aggressive enough. "
Su Mingyang said in a low voice.
"The Moon Devouring Wolf Clan's previous Moon Devouring Demon King died in the hands of Qin Shujian. They are here to take revenge." Marquis Beiyun shook his head.
As for Yuan Zong's ability to control Jiang Feng.
He was not surprised.
As early as the Great Demon Race attacked Yuan Zong, the matter of Sky Corpse Jiang Feng had been exposed.
Su Mingyang looked at Marquis Beiyun and asked, "Marquis, what should we do now?"
"Withdraw the army and go back to help!"
"How should we explain to the imperial court?"
"There's no need to explain!"
Marquis Beiyun smiled faintly.
Explain.
He, Xiao Chengfeng, never needed to explain anything to anyone.
Now that the Demon Race was attacking the Beiyun Mansion, there was no reason for him to sit back and watch the Beiyun Mansion fall.
If the North Cloud Manor fell into the enemy's hands.
Then he would really be ashamed to face the ancestors of the Xiao Clan.
Soon.
The Beiyun Mansion army stationed in the city began to move. They began to activate the portal and headed toward the Beiyun Mansion.
"Marquis Beiyun, what are you doing?"
Lin Shengquan looked at the movement in the city and immediately found Marquis Beiyun.
As the City Lord of Ze An City, every movement in the city could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.
As for Marquis Beiyun's movements.
Lin Shengquan was still very concerned.
After all, it was precisely because of Marquis Beiyun's presence that Ze An City was not breached by the rebels and was not affected by the war.
If Marquis Beiyun retreated at this time and the rebels came back, Ze An City would be in big trouble.
Marquis Beiyun did not hide from Lin Shengquan's question. "The Demon Race is attacking the Beiyun Mansion. I need to call back the troops to help."
"Ah!" Lin Shengquan was shocked at first, but he quickly reacted and stopped him. "Marquis Beiyun, the rebels are still besieging the imperial city. The imperial court is in danger. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to call back the troops at this time!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's better to report this matter to His Majesty first."
As soon as Lin Shengquan finished speaking, he froze on the spot because he noticed that although Marquis Beiyun's gaze was calm, a great feeling of horror surged from his heart and his body seemed to stiffen.
Marquis Beiyun said calmly, "Are you telling me what to do?"
"I don't dare, but —"
"Boom!"
Marquis Beiyun did not make a move, but a terrifying gust of wind burst out. Lin Shengquan immediately groaned and flew backward for a distance. After landing, another gust of wind surged up, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment.
Lin Shengquan looked at Marquis Beiyun with horror in his eyes.
Marquis Beiyun was indeed a mighty figure.
But he was not an ordinary cultivator either. His strength had reached the second tier of the Celestial Being realm.
Otherwise, he would not be qualified to be the governor of Ze An City.
But even so.
With his strength of the second tier of the Celestial Being realm, he could not even last one round in front of Marquis Beiyun. Even if he was not prepared for the other party to attack, he could still feel the terrifying strength.
"This is a small punishment. If there's a next time, I'll kill you!"
Marquis Beiyun casually glanced at Lin Shengquan and did not bother to pay attention to him. He directly left the governor's mansion.
Regarding this.
Lin Shengquan did not dare to stop him anymore.
That sentence just now had already scared him out of his wits.
Even though Marquis Beiyun's tone was calm, there was a feeling in his heart.
That was —
Marquis Beiyun would really kill him.
Publicly killing the governor of a city was a crime equivalent to treason. However, the other party obviously did not care.
It did not take too long.
The army that belonged to Beiyun Mansion in Ze An City was drawn out and then directly sent to Beiyun Mansion through the teleportation gate.
Such an inter-mansion teleportation.
Especially a large number of soldiers, it also consumed a lot of spirit stones.
However, Marquis Beiyun did not care at all. Every once in a while, when the spirit stones in the teleportation array were broken, he would immediately install new spirit stones.
In just half a day.
The army that belonged to Beiyun Mansion in Ze An City had all left.
"Sir, what should we do now?" A person came to Lin Shengquan's side and asked carefully.
Hearing this.
Lin Shengquan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Seal the news of Marquis Beiyun's departure. No one is allowed to spread it. Otherwise, kill without mercy."
"Yes, sir."
Then.
Lin Shengquan immediately sent the news of Marquis Beiyun's departure to the imperial city.
At this point, he stopped.
"Marquis Beiyun, Xiao Chengfeng, I will remember this!" This time, he was not as skilled as Xiao Chengfeng, so Lin Shengquan had nothing to say.
However, if their identities were to be reversed, he would definitely return today's grudge untouched.
However.
Just thinking of this, Lin Shengquan was a little discouraged.
Marquis Beiyun was a mighty figure.
To deal with Marquis Beiyun, one must at least be a mighty figure.
With his current Celestial Level Two realm, whether he had the chance to become a mighty figure in the future was still a question.
In front of the imperial city.
Ever since the news of the demon army's attack came, all the rebels had reached a consensus to fully mobilize the army to attack the imperial court.
Now that the demons had attacked, they were stuck at an awkward juncture.
It was impossible to retreat.
So now, the only way out was to take down the imperial city.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A sharp voice came. Everyone on the city wall turned around and saw Xi Yang walking up, and behind him were hundreds of officials.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone got up. Xi Yang came to the city wall and faced the fierce battle outside the city.
Compared to what they saw in the round mirror, what they saw in front of them was more impactful.
With Xi Yang's appearance.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Your Majesty, the murderous aura outside the city is very serious, and it's affecting your Divine Body. In my opinion, it's better to return to the palace and wait for the good news." A person came to Xi Yang's side and said in a slightly respectful tone.
Xi Yang turned his head to look at the other party and smiled faintly. "Marquis Jianhua, you're too serious. As the ruler of a country, how can I not stand up to boost the morale at this time?"
As he spoke.
He changed the topic and said, "Marquis Jianhua, now that our situation is critical, why don't you make a move?"
"I think the rebels still have a backup plan, so I'm not making a move for the time being to guard against unexpected situations," Marquis Jianhua replied calmly.
Hearing this.
Xi Yang nodded slightly, acknowledging the other party's words.
He did not have much trust in these dukes.
This was also something that could not be helped.
The reason why the imperial court was in such a situation was because of the rebellion of the dukes.
If these dukes had not rebelled, they would not have ended up in such a state.
Thinking of this.
Xi Yang said slowly, "Marquis Jianhua should have received the news of Jianhua Prefecture. Do you have any thoughts of returning to help at this time?"
He did not directly mention the Demon Race.
The news of the Demon Race's large-scale attack could not be spread immediately, otherwise, the people's hearts would be shaken.
However, Marquis Jianhua understood Xi Yang's meaning.
"Although the safety of Jianhua Prefecture is important, the Imperial City cannot be lost. In the past, the Human Emperor treated me well. Under such circumstances, how can I leave without permission?"
"If everyone was like Marquis Jianhua, our Great Zhao would not have to worry about prosperity."
Xi Yang's expression was relieved, and his tone was much calmer.
"Your Majesty is too kind!"
Marquis Jianhua smiled. His face did not change much at Xi Yang's praise.
"Xi Yang!"
Shen Hong looked at the people on the city wall, and a murderous look flashed across his face.
He did not expect that Xi Yang would personally come to supervise the battle at this time.
As for the imperial court's army, after seeing Xi Yang appear, their morale was boosted, and their resistance was much stronger than before.
"This won't do. If this continues, the longer we delay, the more trouble Wuan Prefecture will be in."
"Xi Yang, it would have been fine if you did not appear. Since you dared to appear, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shen Hong immediately thought of killing Xi Yang.
As long as Xi Yang was dead, all the problems would be solved.
Among the remaining people, even if a few were willing to die with the Great Zhao, most of them would give up resisting.
With this thought in mind.
Shen Hong took out a message token and secretly crushed it.
At the same time.
The other rebel vassals had all received the message. Except for a few vassals who were still fighting, the rest took out a message token and crushed it.
Only Gu Changqing.
He glanced at the message token in his hand, took out another one, and secretly crushed it.
On the city wall.
Marquis Jianhua, Xu Yangshu, who had been standing beside Xi Yang, suddenly attacked Xi Yang with a palm.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Be careful!"
The sudden turn of events caused the other officials to turn pale with fright.
Before they could react.
Xi Yang's imperial robe surged with a layer of dense light, directly blocking the attack.
In response.
Xu Yangshu did not stop. Instead, he took out a long sword and easily shattered the dense light of the imperial robe, and continued to attack Xi Yang.
At the same time.
Several officials suddenly exploded with powerful attacks, all charging towards Xi Yang.
Boom!
A vast aura exploded from Xi Yang's body.
Then.
Xu Yangshu felt the surrounding space stagnate, and the speed of his sword slowed down. Then, he saw Xi Yang stretch out two fingers and easily stick the tip of the sword.
As for the other officials who attacked, they all exploded at the same time, turning into a rain of blood.
From the assassination attempt on Xi Yang, to the counterattack, to the death of the other officials who attacked, to the end of the scene where he pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers, it directly stunned everyone.
No one would have thought.
At this time, someone would assassinate Xi Yang.
No one would have thought that besides Marquis Jianhua and Xu Yangshu, there were other spies among the officials.
No one would have thought.
That Xi Yang's strength would be so strong.
Under such an assassination attempt, he could still deal with it calmly.
Pinching the tip of Xu Yangshu's sword with two fingers, Xi Yang shook his head regretfully, but his eyes were frighteningly cold. "Marquis Jianhua, I never thought that you were also a member of the rebels.
Do you know that I have always had high hopes for you, but you repay me like this? "
At this moment.
Xu Yangshu turned a deaf ear to Xi Yang's words. His eyes were full of horror, and he cried out involuntarily, "You have already become a mighty figure!"
A mighty figure!
He never thought that Xi Yang would be a mighty figure.
When the emperor was on the throne, the other party did not reveal himself. After the emperor fell, although the other party was lucky enough to sit on the throne, he had not done anything.
Instead, as the situation collapsed, it became more and more obvious that Xi Yang was incompetent.
Even if it was the moment before the assassination.
Xu Yangshu had never guessed that Xi Yang might be an almighty.
But …
However, the scene that had just taken place was a clear indication to him of that fact.
Xi Yang!
He had already become a mighty figure.
Not only that, when the others heard the two words' mighty figure ', they all showed a look of disbelief.
It was also at this moment.
The unforeseen event happened suddenly.
