"But, since I'm a mage, I can use my original preparations!"
Wu Ming muttered to himself as he took out a golden Talisman. There were clouds and smoke on the paper, and the faint shadow of a dragon could be seen flashing on it.
Ever since Wu Ming, through his special privileges as a Sovereign's Apostle, had learned that the next mission world would be a world where a Star would descend, and that there would be a mission to assist him in becoming a 'King', Wu Ming had made a targeted exchange.
Last time, he had obtained quite a lot of merit points, and he had not completed the Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture. He had only spent a few items to carry around, and he was left with nearly 1,500 merit points. He used all of them to exchange for the Chaotic Star Talismans and the Evil Breaking Talismans, as well as the last one!
Among them, Luan Xing and Po Sha were just a small part of it. The majority of it was the Taisui Fiend Suppression Talisman.
"Tai Sui Evil Suppressing Talisman: The Heavenly Master can only craft it after being conferred the title by the Imperial Preceptor. It uses the nation's Dragon Qi to suppress the Evil Qi, and can suppress the backlash of the Dragon Qi for a month! Note: Heaven's will cannot be deceived! A month later, the heavenly tribulation descended. The baleful energy backlash was unstoppable. Moreover, its power was doubled! Exchange requirement: 10 days of merit points! "
A small Talisman even asked for a Heavenly Credit! If it weren't for the fact that Wu Ming had special privileges and didn't need to pay any processing fees, the Mainshrine would have taken a huge chunk out of him. He wouldn't even have enough merit points.
Even so, after spending a thousand merit points, he had nothing left on him, and not a single merit point was left.
This talisman was extremely expensive, and it wasn't very useful.
After all, to other Daoists, it was just an extra month of breathing time. However, the power of the Heavenly Tribulations would be doubled. It was practically a death sentence, but to Wu Ming, it was enough.
"The Heavenly Tribulation of this world won't chase me to Dazhou, right?"
Wu Ming touched his chin. "But since two months have passed, it's just right!"
He rubbed his hands together, and the golden Talisman started burning, turning into specks of light that landed on his body.
Wu Ming shuddered and felt his body lighten, as if he had become much more refreshed. Looking at his fate, there was no change at all, as if it was just an illusion.
But in his heart, he knew that the effect of this Talisman had begun to increase.
Within a month, even if Li Rubi's army was defeated and he died, he would still be able to withstand the backlash of the dragon aura.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have tied his own fate to the Nine Mountains Army and tried to pull chestnuts out of the fire.
"However … although I have someone to rely on, I still have to do my best. At the very least … I have to suppress the backlash to the minimum, or simply help the Dragon Court succeed. That would be beneficial without any harm …"
Wu Ming thought about it and walked out. "Someone, get me some hot water. I want to take a bath!"
He happily took a bath and felt refreshed. Then he changed into a loose sackcloth robe and wore a bamboo hat to patrol the camp.
This guard saw an elegant young man with fluttering sleeves, full of sage-like demeanor, and couldn't help but be impressed.
Ignoring these people, Wu Ming went to a high place and opened his spiritual eye.
After becoming a Sorcerer, his Spiritual Eye technique had become even more marvelous. At this moment, he could see a red military aura coming from the direction of the Prefecture City. It was overbearing, and the sky seemed to be dyed red with blood.
Affected by this, the morale of the Nine Mountains Army wavered and became somewhat unstable.
"Not good! This Lord Wang Xuanfan has come to attack, and he is overbearing! "
Wu Ming was a little absent-minded. At this moment, he heard the messenger shout from below, "General Guard! The Prefecture Army is attacking! The Marshal has ordered all the generals above the rank of Guard to go to the Marshal's Mansion for a discussion! "
On the third day of the tenth month in the ninth year of Qianyuan, General Wang Xuanfan led forty thousand elites to attack.
Li Rubi deployed the army to Zhen Ding County to fight.
…
At this moment, within the Nine Mountains County.
A group of elite soldiers suddenly came to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"Military Advisor, everything has been prepared!"
Xiao Jizhi followed behind Elder Nanshan. Beside him were Young Lord Yu and Xie Xiaodi. They all had respectful expressions.
"Very good, let's go!"
Elder Nanshan waved his sleeve and took the lead.
Xie Xiaodi's clever eyes turned, but she was a little surprised in her heart. 'Dragons and snakes are born deep in the mountains. This area is rich in power and can give birth to earth dragons. It is most likely where Li Rubi's ancestor's dragon vein is … The war is imminent, and this person secretly sent a Military Advisor here. Is he trying to stimulate fate again? Isn't he afraid of consuming too much?
'But that's right. As long as we win this war, we will definitely be able to seize the entire Caozhou. At that time, there will be the replenishment of the people's energy.
'It's just that … this Spiritual Master seems to have other plans …'
Although he was only thinking this, Elder Nanshan seemed to have sensed it. He turned around and his eyes emitted a green light.
Xie Xiaodi didn't dare to move again and quickly lowered her head.
Fortunately, Spiritual Master Nanshan didn't say anything. The group of people silently entered the depths.
This area was surrounded by mountains and water. A small river flowed through like a jade belt. What was even rarer was that there were nine small mountain peaks that surrounded an underground cave in the middle.
If one looked from above, they would be able to see that the arrangement of these nine mountain peaks was very similar to the Nine Linked Mountains in the Nine Mountains County. However, they were formed naturally and were extraordinarily precious.
Once they entered this area, everyone felt their bodies lighten. They felt the rising energy of the earth, bringing with it warmth.
In this situation, as long as one wasn't an idiot, they would know that there was a problem.
'Not only is the vein of the earth thick, but it also corresponds to the mountain range of the Nine Mountains County. Obtaining it is fated with the Nine Mountains County. No wonder the ancestors of the Li Family were buried here. They could ensure the family's good fortune for thirteen generations and endless wealth!' Xie Xiaodi thought to herself.
"We're here!"
At this moment, they heard Xiao Jiji cheer.
It turned out that at this time, the four of them had already reached the center of the nine small mountain peaks. They saw a towering pine tree with lush branches and lush leaves. It was slim and graceful, like a canopy.
And under the pine tree, there was a natural cave.
Xie Xiaodi secretly used her technique. She squinted her eyes and saw golden clouds swarming over. There was a green color in the middle, and it connected with the mountain vein of the Nine Mountains County, forming a huge dragon.
She wanted to look further and saw the purple eyes of the huge dragon glaring at her. She couldn't help but be shocked. She quickly covered her face with her sleeves and silently wiped away the blood. She knew that she had suffered a backlash and was even slightly injured. She was even more shocked. "What a good earth dragon. It can almost be called the vein of a true dragon …"
"This is the general's restricted area. All of you guard outside. My disciple, Xiao Jiji, and you, follow me in!"
When they arrived here, Venerable Nanshan ordered the soldiers to guard the cave entrance while he and the three of them entered.
Everyone held torches and walked for a while before they saw a difference.
It still looked like a deserted cave in front, but after passing through a few secret doors, they saw traces of people and a tomb faintly appeared.
Xie Xiaodi looked carefully and saw that this tomb had a grand and imposing style. It was the standard of a feudal lord. Her heart trembled.
There was another tombstone. On it was simply written "Tomb of the Li Clan's Ancestor." This was done deliberately.
At this moment, she felt that this place was extraordinary and knew that this was the location of a dragon's cave. If she offended it, the backlash would definitely increase tenfold. She didn't dare to look at the atmosphere anymore.
"We've finally arrived here again!"
Venerable Nanshan sighed. His face was full of emotions. He took out an elegiac text personally written by Li Rubi and burned it. Then, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the tombstone. After he stood up, he had a cold smile on his face. "It's done!"
"Roar roar!"
A light breeze blew past. In the cave, it sounded like a dragon's roar.
Xie Xiaodi and Yu Shaojun's bodies trembled greatly. They almost went limp.
A strange feeling caused Xie Xiaodi to tremble.
"Come here later. I have something to tell you!"
Venerable Nanshan squinted and suddenly said.
"What orders do you have, Venerable?" At this moment, Xie Xiaodi and Xiao Jizhi knew that they were meat on the chopping block. They could only bow and ask.
"Later, listen to my orders. So and so … Do you understand!"
Venerable Nanshan gave a few instructions. Xie Xiaodi and Xiao Jizhi's faces were pale. They looked at Yu Shaojun again.
Seeing that he was still calm and collected, they thought of Wu Ming's great victory and great defeat. They finally managed to restrain themselves.
…
A little earlier, on the plains of Zhen Ding County.
The Nine Mountains Army consisted of thirty thousand soldiers and forty thousand provincial soldiers. They were led by Li Rubi and Wang Xuanshu respectively.
Li Rubi was surrounded by a hundred riders. He inspected the entire army and looked at the provincial soldiers' formation. The flags were like a forest, and they carried a solemn murderous aura.
This Wang Xuanfan was indeed a peerless general talent. In just two months, the provincial soldiers and county soldiers looked completely different. They were as solemn as a mountain, which made Li Rubi's heart tremble.
"However, I still have one last move. The Military Advisor has already gone to my ancestral grave to activate the Qi of the Dragon Veins. As long as we win this battle, the outcome will be determined!"
Li Rubi waved his hand. "Attack!"
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
…
Amidst the military drums, the thirty thousand soldiers roared, their voices shaking the surroundings.
"Suppress the rebels!"
On the opposite side, a general also shouted fiercely. His voice almost covered the voices of the one hundred thousand soldiers.
This kind of peerless bravery caused the expressions of the Nine Mountains Army to change.
"The descent of martial songs and the acquisition of the land by the General Star. This person must be Wang Xuanfan!"
Wu Ming looked over and saw the Essence Qi Beacon above the opponent's head. He commanded the army and resonated with the stars in the sky. His heart trembled.
"From the observation of the Qi, although the opponent's military Qi has won, the Nine Mountains Army may not necessarily be unable to maintain a stalemate and slowly gain the upper hand!"
Seeing the military Qi on both sides soaring into the sky, Wu Ming couldn't help but let out a long breath.
However, a split second later, his expression changed greatly!
Whoosh whoosh!
In the distance, six military Qi surged over and gathered into Wang Xuanfan's military Qi, causing the black Qi to cover the sky like a heavenly pillar.
At the same time.
Whoosh!
The military Qi of the Nine Mountains Army collapsed like white snow meeting the sun. It dispersed into chaos and was in a state of disarray.
"Even if the enemy had external help, it shouldn't have become like this. This is a sign of great damage to the foundation … From this, it seems that Li Rubi will definitely suffer a great loss in this battle. It's already not bad if he can escape with his life!"
Wu Ming couldn't help but shrink his head. "As expected … special techniques can kill people. If I didn't make arrangements in advance, I would have gone crazy this time …"
"Kill!"
The military formations on both sides moved forward and were about to fight with each other.
Just as Li Rubi was feeling complacent, he suddenly saw a gust of wind blowing past. His commander's flag was swaying unsteadily. His expression changed greatly.
…
"Time's up!"
In the Nine Mountains Region, in the underground cave, Venerable Nanshan opened his eyes. There seemed to be lightning flashing in his eyes. With great dignity, he pressed down. "Why aren't you making your move?!"
