Mao Mountain.
Heavy snow sealed the mountain passes.
Huang Chao in a cyan robe was standing on top of the mountain with his hands clasped behind his back. Under his feet, the rolling mountains were covered with snow, a vast expanse of whiteness in the sky and on earth.
The howling cold wind kept blowing down large snowflakes, covering the desolate winter's beauty. The snowflakes all shattered and scattered one meter around Huang Chao.
Huang Chao frowned slightly and looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains quietly. He had stood silently for four hours. During this time, he didn't move at all, not even a finger.
In the open space behind him, more than a dozen armored generals stood solemnly. At the very front of the open space, several Taoists were arranging the incense table, the memorial tablet and other things.
"Commander in chief, it's all set up." Zhu Wen, his personal soldier, reported to Hu
There was a very slight and short rustle. He walked softly to the pearl curtain and looked into the outer room of the personal maid. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he shook his head slightly and sighed softly. The Junior Priestess sat curled up on the couch, her head rested on her knees, and her gaze fell in front of her feet. The quilt was kicked to the ground. She was silent, and her thin shoulders were shivering slightly like a wounded kitten. The moonlight came in through the window, and the light fell on the couch, making her seem more forlorn. Li Ye had witnessed this scene for three years. He could understand the Junior Priestess' state of mind. She was alone in the enemy camp, facing the opponent she couldn't defeat. She was not thinking about how to assassinate Li Ye, but rather felt a little sense of security by following Li Ye. Although Li Ye was her enemy, he wasn't a bad guy. That day in the woods, Li Ye didn't k
Li Ye was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Zhang Yunhe to have such a proposal that, to let the Junior Priestess be his guard as well. This arrangement seemed a bit too much. However, he immediately understood that the Penglai Taoist sect had no choice, bowing down to him was the only way out. However, at this moment, Li Ye was still not sure whether Penglai had given up the idea of supporting the shackles, and still continue to keep their thousand-year tradition. That was to support a feudal prince to fight for the world. If Penglai had decided to do so, then Penglai Taoist sect's thousands of disciples would become Li Ye's appendages and helping hands. At the moment, the Penglai Taoist sect must express a certain attitude and sent the Senior Priestess here. Junior Priestess and Senior Priestess had to cooperate, at least then they could protect themselves, and not worry too much about Li Ye harming them. By doing so, Penglai would no
In the spring of the first year of Zhonghe, Li Ye stood in front of the tower in the Qing Prefecture. Facing south-west, he looked on, and extending from his sight was the hinterland of the Central Plains. The Central Plains were in the midst of war. After Huang Chao took over Chang'an, many villages, towns and states in Guanzhong have surrendered. But there were still those, though might not be loyal to Tang as such that were still unwilling to surrender. The oncoming spring breeze, blew his hair and head band. With those deep eyes and keeping his composure as usual, Li Ye did not say anything. A few steps behind him were the Junior Priestess and Senior Priestess. They had a totally different temperament, but they both still looked beautiful and charming. They were protecting him from left to right at a close distance. In front of Li Ye, on the vast land outside the Qing Prefecture, the 100,000-strong army was divided into two sides perform
Dengzhou. At dusk, the sun was setting on the horizon, and the golden sun shone over the city. The ruined city, which was ravaged by the war, was covered with a layer of golden light. In front of the fallen gate tower, a burly general in golden armor was standing erect with his hand putting on the knife, looking around. He had an angular face, his eyes like an eagle's and his waist like a pine. He was mighty and extraordinary and full of momentum. But when people looked at his face, they would know he was in his thirties. Behind him, there were several generals and a company of trusted soldiers in armor. They looked at the general in golden armor with awe. The general in golden armor was Zhu Wen. He did not speak, nor did the men behind him. The collapsed parapet wall was stained with blood, and the fallen flags were ruined, but there were no bodies on top of the city wall. Soldiers and civilians were scooting everywhere. They
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment. Yang Fuguang was right. In the territory of the Zhongwu Army, if he hadn't really felt threatened, as the commissioner, he wouldn't have come to see Yang Fuguang like this. Several years ago, the rebels invaded the Central Plains and Xue Neng, the former commissioner of Zhongwu, was killed on the battlefield. At that time, Zhou Ji was just a general. He could take the post of the commissioner because of Yang Fuguang's recommendation, therefore, he always had a good relationship with Yang Fuguang. When Zheng Tian called on various troops to attack Huang Chao together in Fengxiang and Li Yan (who renamed himself Li Xuan after ascending the throne) ordered every town's troops to recover Chang'an in Xi Chuan, Yang Fuguang tried many times to test Zhou Ji and urged him to revolt against Huang Chao and send the troops to the west, but Zhou Ji had a lot of concerns and didn't respond positively. As long as Tang Empi
Especially the Taoist with the horsetail whisk, his pressure was obviously stronger than the other four. He was not at the common Level 9 of Qi-refining, but most likely he achieved the Great Completion at Level 9 of Qi-refining and even partly reached the Foundation-building Realm! Such people would likely come from the five major Taoist sects. At this moment, Yang Fuguang was sure that they were the Taoists from Zhongnan Mountain. Penglai was in the east, Shushan was in the west, Xuelu was in the north, and Dongting was in the south. But the Taoists of these Taoist sects couldn't appear in Xuzhou. However, Yang Fuguang was shocked that the five of them were all at Level 9 of Qi-refining. Under normal circumstances, even the Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain couldn't dispatch so many powerful Taoists. Yang Fuguang had heard about the battle of Niushou Mountain. Nangong Diyi fought against Zhongnan Four Swords alone and defeated them so that they had to re
Wuyazi didn't know how Li Ye could achieve Level 9 of Qi-refining. It had been only seven years since Li Ye succeeded in Qi-refining Stage in the Tai Xuan Summit. Even though he achieved one realm each year, he should be at Level 7 of Qi-refining, but now, it was obvious to Wuyazi that he was already at Level 9. But, of course, Wuyazi didn't fear Li Ye, not even afraid of him. He was now halfway through the Foundation-building Stage. There were very few people who had higher cultivation than him in the entire Zhongnan Mountain. It was very difficult to make progress when a person was already at high-level Qi-refining. There wouldn't have been so few people in high-level Qi-refining otherwise. From Level 9 of Qi-refining to the Great Completion to the semi Foundation-building Stage, there seemed to be no threshold, but in fact, every step had a barrier. So Wuyazi knew that he had enough to overwhelm Li Ye only relying on the realm of his cultivation.
A strange look flashed in Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji's eyes upon hearing Li Ye's words. It seemed that Li Ye knew Qin Zongquan's affairs, which was very abnormal. In principle, it was impossible for Li Ye to know the internal affairs of Zhongwu Army for he was far away in Pinglu. Zhou Ji was still hesitating, but Yang Fuguang had already turned his eyes to Song Jiao before finally pulling them back. When he introduced Song Jiao, Li Ye said very clearly that she was in charge of all his spies. She was the leader of the spies instead of the scouts, which was a very meaningful title. In combination with the other's cultivation, it was not difficult for Yang Fuguang to figure out that the spies Li Ye talked about were likely to be in Jianghu. However, this was not unusual since he had heard of similar things. When Li Xian was alive, he had a habit of using the Jianghu cultivators to collect battle information in every conquest. Gao Pian was no different.
