Hearing that the God of Might King Yang Tuo had come out, Hong Yi hurried over alone.
He did not bring Mu The Younger, the Enduring Monk, and the other masters, because he had to guard the treasures in the redoubt. Now, Hong Yi controlled a total of five forts. All the forts were filled with treasures from the Cosmos Sack. He needed someone to protect them so that they would not be exposed.
Moreover, the sudden assassination attempt had caused Hong Yi to be vigilant. It had also caused the Enduring Monk, Young Mu, and the others to be on guard at all times.
The one who had just tried to assassinate him was just a Great Grandmaster, who was not even at the Peak Realm, but he still felt an unusual danger.
If it was Wu Sheng, like Yan Kai, who came to assassinate him, he would have killed everyone except the Enduring Monk. Even Taoist masters like Arachnida Gigantea and Mu The Younger would not be able to escape.
Most importantly, the Hundred Colour Shadowless Clothes caused a certain alarm to ring in Hong Yi's heart.
According to a secret medicine book in the vast secret books of the Daizen Temple, the "Hundred Color Shadowless Clothes" was a secret belonging to a big aristocratic family, which had never been announced or circulated. It was only heard by a master monk in the Daizen Temple and recorded in his notes. It was not eye-catching at all. But now it appeared in front of Hong Yi, and it was worn by an assassin from the Western Region, which was thought-provoking.
The war in the Western Region was not like Hong Yi's Pacification Naval Headquarters annihilation of pirates a year ago.
When the Pacification Naval Headquarters annihilated the pirates, Wei Lei, the son of an aristocratic family, led his guards to kill him and snatch the credit, not to mention the war in the Western Region.
The war in the Western Region was ten thousand times more complicated than that of the Pacification Navy in terms of scale and complexity.
In comparison, the Pacification Navy a year ago was like a group of children playing house.
As far as Hong Yi knew, during the war in the Western Regions, many disciples of aristocratic families had come to join the army to hone their skills, gain merits, develop their influence in the army, and make connections.
The complexity and intrigues involved were indeed a complicated game of chess.
"Could it be that some aristocratic family's disciple wants to assassinate me because I'm too conspicuous?"
"Or perhaps the aristocratic families of the Da Qian heard some rumors and colluded with the Western Regions, hoping to corrupt the Western Front? Then, they will take advantage of the situation and weaken the power of the imperial court, making them unable to attack the aristocratic families? "
"Perhaps the people of the Western Regions are doing this on purpose to arouse suspicion?"
Speculations arose in Hong Yi's mind.
"It seems that in order to deal with the army of the Western Region, the Primordial Temple is secondary. The more important thing is to deal with the internal strife in the Da Qian army. Although my magic power is comparable to that of a Giant, and I can tear the world apart with a stomp of my foot, all conspiracies and tricks are useless in the face of absolute power. However, there were also powerful people among them, such as Tang Hailong and Fangyuan. There were probably a few of them too. Especially the Founding Ancestor of the Great Zhou, who is actually hiding among some Jinshi. I wonder if he will come to the Western Regions this time. He has many incarnations, but I can't recognize him, but he can clearly recognize me. The enemy is in the dark while I'm in the light, so I have to be extremely careful. "
If the Founding Ancestor of the Great Zhou, Tang Hailong, and Fang Yuan were hiding among them and causing trouble, stealing the limelight from Hong Yi, and secretly plotting something, Hong Yi would know. Even with his magic power, he would probably be flustered, so he had to be careful.
"Tick tock, tick tock."
The Chasing Lightning Horse galloped on the yellow sand road, heading for the Godly Might King's mansion, which was dozens of miles away.
Hong Yi was in the lead, followed by a few guards of the mansion. They were here to invite Hong Yi under the orders of the Godly Might King, Yang Tuo. In the Western Regions Sand Continent, all officials and generals rode horses, and no one had the habit of sitting in a sedan chair.
Even the Governor of the Sand Continent had to ride a horse. When the Godly Might King went out, he also rode a horse.
The Chasing Lightning Horse was now abnormally spirited and tall, half a head taller than the average Charcoal Horse. The mane on its body was like iron, and its muscles showed a powerful explosive force. When it moved, it was as red as blood, and when it swelled up, it looked like it could explode at any time.
The guards and knights of the Prince's Mansion were all experts in martial arts, especially the Charcoal horses they were riding on. They were all famous horses. Every day, there would be four or five grooms circling around them, giving them all kinds of fodder, medicinal herbs, and even massages to soothe their essence and blood. Because of this, the horses were very energetic and powerful. But now, compared to Hong Yi's Chasing Lightning Horse, they were one size smaller and weaker. They were all Charcoal Horses, but in front of the Chasing Lightning Horse, these horses were like malnourished, short, and inferior horses.
The guards of the mansion were a little dispirited.
After galloping for the time it took to eat a meal, as fast as lightning, the Godly Might King's tall mansion could be seen. There were also many stargazing towers, as well as fortresses that had the architectural style of the Western Regions.
Moreover, in the huge square in front of the mansion, Hong Yi saw the dignified and orderly guards of the mansion, whose vigor soared to the sky. They were all dressed in armor and armed to the teeth, motionless and full of murderous intent.
Besides that, on the other side of the guards of the mansion, there were some people dressed differently, but their expressions were very cold. These people were obviously the scions of the aristocratic families who had come to join the army.
Some of the aristocratic families in Da Qian had a thousand years of history, and the status of the sons of the first wife could even be on equal footing with Wang Ye. Ordinary governors would be careful and not dare to offend them, such as those sage families.
This was also the reason why Da Qian wanted to weaken the aristocratic families.
The Godly Might King, Yang Tuo, actually did not invite Hong Yi to a banquet in his mansion, but directly arranged his troops and went to the huge square, as if he was leading his troops into battle.
The military might was biting cold, and the murderous intent soared to the sky. Looking disdainfully at the world, they would not spare even the ghosts and gods.
This was the first time that Hong Yi saw the power of the Godly Might King's bodyguards. Even though he was still a few miles away, Hong Yi looked at the bodyguards on the huge square and felt a strong, almost tangible murderous intent. It almost enveloped his soul, and there was a resistance when he moved forward.
This was the feeling that his soul gave him. It was not a physical feeling, but it was accurately transmitted to his body.
The muscles of the Lightning-Chasing Horse under him twitched a little, and it also felt a little uneasy.
Under such an imposing manner, even a ghost immortal who had gone through the first thunder tribulation would find it hard to approach, let alone a Dao technique expert.
"Haha, congratulations to Wang Ye for coming out of seclusion. Although you did not break through that barrier, your cultivation has improved greatly, and your spirit has been purified. You will break through to the highest realm of martial arts at any time. "
The Godly Might King, Yang Tuo, stood alone in front of this group of three thousand armoured bodyguards. His hands were behind his back, and he was dressed in a golden luxurious robe. He looked like a weak scholar, but he had the majesty of commanding millions of soldiers, and with a wave of the army flag, heads would roll.
Hong Yi got off the horse at the edge of the square and walked forward. He saw that the eyes of the Godly Might King were flashing, and when he looked at the eyes of the Godly Might King, he felt numb all over his body, as if he had been struck by lightning.
This was the peak of martial arts, and he could almost step into the realm of human immortals at any time. Although it was still unknown whether or not he could step into it, compared to what he saw in front of the Hall of Assassins, his realm was twice as high, and his combat power had increased explosively.
"Brother Hong's cultivation has also improved greatly."
Seeing Hong Yi walking forward, the Godly Might King, Yang Tuo, had a strange look in his eyes. Obviously, this famous pinnacle Wu Sheng could also see the majesty of martial arts on Hong Yi.
"Wang Ye urgently summoned me here to discuss military affairs. Could it be that we are going to war?"
Hong Yi asked as he looked at the orderly and solemn scene of the army.
"War is unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. Talking on paper can never compare to being on the battlefield. Today, Brother Hong and I, as well as some of the aristocratic descendants who came to the army, will come to the front of the Sand Continent's impregnable pass to witness the might of my Da Qian and the Western Regions' Huo Luo army. Today, this King has received news that last night, Prince Chara Kasi of the Western Regions has led a vanguard army of 300,000 and arrived at the Sand Continent's impregnable pass. He wants to break through the pass in one fell swoop, and flatten this King's military town. Naturally, this King will lead Brother Hong to welcome the arrival of this vanguard army. "
The Godly Might King, Yang Tuo said.
"300,000 soldiers?"
Hearing this, Hong Yi was shocked. What kind of concept was 300,000 soldiers? Hong Yi had already seen the lineup of the Pacification Navy. It stretched across the Seven Seas, but there were only 100,000 of them.
Hong Yi had never seen so many people slaughtering each other in such a desperate manner.
"300,000 soldiers? What's there to fear?" Just as the God King Yang Tuo and Hong Yi were talking, a voice rang out. It came from the other end of the square, where dozens of aristocratic descendants were gathered.
These descendants of aristocratic families were not the so-called silk pants. Instead, they all had sharp eyes. Some were capable, some were as deep as the sea, some were like a whirlpool, some had long swords at their waists, and some had sabers. Each of them had a different expression.
The one who had just spoken was a young man in his late twenties. He was wearing a black brocade robe, and his hands were empty. He was wearing a purple gold crown on his head. Logically, only dukes and marquises could wear purple gold crowns. However, some of the descendants of millennium aristocratic families and sage families had been bestowed the privilege of wearing purple gold crowns during the coronation ceremony, which was comparable to dukes and marquises.
"This is?" Hong Yi looked at this young man and asked in puzzlement.
"I am Nian Prefecture's King Feng, courtesy name Teng Yun. Greetings, Zhuangyuan. "The young man's eyes flashed when he saw Hong Yi, and he cupped his hands with a smile.
"So you are from Nian Prefecture's Wang family. No wonder you dare to speak so casually in front of the God King." Hong Yi heard this, and his heart moved.
The Head Eunuch of the Six Palaces, Wu Sheng Wang Tao, was once a bastard son of the Wang family. After being persecuted, he entered the palace and became a eunuch. However, he still couldn't get his revenge, which showed how powerful the Wang family was.
"Zhuangyuan's essay was praised by a hundred sages, and he was called a 'Lesser Sage'. However, the ancient sages rode dragons and qilins, and were auspicious. Zhuangyuan, it seems that your cultivation in the Divine Dao is not as strong as the ancient sages. Although that fire horse is strong, I'm afraid it can't withstand the murderous aura of the battlefield. This time, Zhuangyuan, you must not weaken the reputation of the scholars in the Western Regions in front of the army of the Western Regions. You must show some of the aura of a 'Lesser Sage'. "
Wang Feng flicked his sleeves, smiled, and said to an old servant beside him, "Uncle Wang, let King Kong bring my Thunder Treading Horse. We will follow Wang Ye and see what those barbarians of the Western Regions are capable of!"
"Yes, Young Master."
The old servant beside him nodded and let out a long whistle. Suddenly, a loud roar came from the distance.
A shadow that was two to three people tall and more majestic than an elephant walked out from a fortress. This majestic shadow was actually a giant ape covered in golden fur.
The giant ape was leading a horse that was covered in silver scales from head to toe. The horse was as tall as a man and a half, and it was 18 feet in length. With heavy footsteps, it arrived at the square.
This giant ape was covered in golden fur. As it walked, the ground trembled slightly, giving off a shocking sense of oppression.
Moreover, every movement it made revealed an extremely high level of martial arts.
"Vajra Herculean Ape?"
Hong Yi looked at this giant ape and immediately thought of a type of divine beast. It was the ancient "Vajra Herculean Ape" recorded in the ancient records of the Daizen Temple. This kind of ape had golden fur that was as hard as steel. It was invulnerable to blades and crossbows, and its movements were as swift as a ghost. It was so strong that it could tear an elephant apart with its bare hands. It was also intelligent and skilled in martial arts.
The Daizen Temple's "Demonic Ape Divine Staff" was created by the medieval monks after they observed a Vajra Herculean Ape brandishing a staff.
An ape's body structure was not much different from a human's. If it practiced martial arts, it could also cultivate to an extremely high realm. In fact, many ancient cultivators would let apes guard their cave abodes.
In his previous life, Hakuziyue was a white ape. He had profound martial arts and was able to manipulate the Heavenly Dao. In the end, he cultivated to become a ghost immortal and dismembered into a human.
"This Vajra Herculean Ape's martial arts cultivation is probably at the Wu Sheng realm. With such a huge body and invulnerability, it's really amazing. "
Hong Yi looked at the giant ape that was leading the horse and couldn't help but frown.
He also felt a mountainous aura pressing down on him.
Apes leading horses was a well-known story in the ancient times. It was said that an ancient Sage Emperor had once subdued a powerful Vajra Herculean Ape that had cultivated to the Human Immortal realm and made it guard the horse farm.
This kind of gifted divine beast had the same structure as humans. After cultivating martial arts to an extremely high realm, it was ten times more powerful than martial arts experts of the same level. After all, their huge bodies were full of essence and blood.
"Young Master, your Thunder Treading Horse is here."
The giant golden ape led the horse to Wang Feng's side and actually spoke in a human voice. At the same time, it looked at Hong Yi.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
"This little monkey also dares to show off in front of me?"
At this moment, in the Eight Tribulations Divine Will, the Qilin in the Spirit Space made a sound that was transmitted to Hong Yi's soul.
