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.
Seeing the steep appearance of the black rhinoceros elite cavalry of the Returning Righteousness Army, Buddha Zi was already very shocked, and when he realized that a large swathe of cultivators were in black, stepping on the rolling yellow sands and rolling towards Yangguan, his eyes were about to stare out.He knew that Dunhuang's Returning Righteousness Army, could possibly support Yangguan, but those 5,000 light cavalry yesterday afternoon were already the limit of the troops he thought Zhang Huaishen could mobilize.The reason why he was so sure of this was because before initiating the Battle of Yangguan, the Sect of Release had already secretly contacted Sohun and said that they would work together inside and outside.Originally, this matter seemed redundant to Buddha Zi, who didn't think that the tiny Yang Guan, with a mere 10,000 generals, could hold back his army of 50,000 cultivators. In Buddha Zi's view, this is completely flat to give Suo Xun a rich an
The remaining sun was like blood, but it spread a layer of golden radiance to the inside and outside of the Yangguan.Off the wall below has been a bloody piece, almost can not see the rammed earth and yellow sand, not to mention the flow of blood in the body, only hanging in the female wall of broken limbs, broken everywhere in the bowels of the intestines, doubly so shocking. With this layer of gold rendering, even showed a few points of holy meaning.It was a pity that the sun set in the twinkling of an eye, and when countless fires appeared inside and outside of the Pass Wall, the bursting aura light clusters, flashing sword aura blade lights, overflowing colorful auras, and countless warriors running and fighting in either bright or dark light, with shadows and shapes like ghosts, set off the dilapidated and majestic Pass City as a ghost city.Li Ye knew the battle wouldn't last much longer.The monk regiment has been killed and wounded more than half, t
The reason why he told Suo Zhang's this, Suo Xun's purpose was clear to gain his wife's understanding and support. After all, Suo Zhang was Zhang Yichao's daughter, and her prestige among the Zhang family members was not low.This is something that Sohun has been doing all along and has basically been confirmed, if not, he wouldn't be telling his wife this right now, but would have imprisoned her instead. To emphasize it again right now as the big event is being unleashed will help to strengthen his wife's morale.Putting on his armor, Sohun came to the council chamber.The dignified subordinates and staff in the residence had already waited for many things, and his close generals in the army, including some of the Guazhou-based Returned Army Provisioners Great Cultivators of the Real Life Realm had also been notified to rush over.Launching a mutiny and mastering the Returning Righteous Army was a major event that Suo Xun had been planning and preparing for
Seeing that the Buddha son had gone berserk, the monks began to attack Yangguan regardless of the casualties, countless cultivators of the high qi practicing stage swooped down to the place where the turquoise blue star feathers were emanating from, and Zhang Huaishen went to work with arranging for the good fighters in the Returning Righteousness Army to start a battle-within-a-battle with the opposing side around the magic weapon bed and crossbow formations after he had reported a word to Li Ye."The magic weapon bed crossbow is indeed an unrivaled weapon in the sand, if the number can be doubled, the range will be able to cross-cover all the open space in front of the pass, and as far as defending the city is concerned, the Tang army can be invincible. This kind of artifact, is really unbelievable!" Chu Nanhuai was overwhelmed with emotion.This statement of his kept the crowd nodding.Li Ye, however, did not comment.No matter what kind of world, the impr
Seeing Zhang Huaishen and the great cultivators behind him, the Ming King immediately changed his face and screamed out in a dark voice, all of a sudden his fighting spirit was completely gone and he drew himself up and was about to fly away, while at the same time shouting sharply to the other Vajra Realm great cultivators, "Stop him!"Li Ye would not let him have his way, activating his Step by Step Sword Style to cut down the several Vajra Realm members in his way, and unfolding his stance to hurriedly chase after the Ming King.Some of the surrounding Vajra Realms were confronted head-on by Zhang Huai Shen and the others, and had no choice but to catch and fight with them, while the other part hurriedly chased after Li Ye from the two flanks in order to cope with the Ming King.Seeing that there were still two Vajra Realm high ranks in front of him blocking the way, and that the Ming King was fleeing so fast that he was about to arrive behind the Monk Corps For
Li Ye's aura had been consumed so much that he was left with 30% to 40% of it, and if the Sect of Release was ruthless, he would only have enough to sustain a battle.But the truth was, he couldn't spell out all of his aura, or else there wouldn't even be any room for him to get away.The situation was already very difficult at this point, and Li Ye was still about to face the situation of being at the end of his rope no matter how much he saved.Thinking about it, the next battle could only focus on relying on the power of the magic weapon bed crossbow.With this in mind, he called Peng Zushan over and asked him if he could further refine the use of the magic weapon bed crossbow to make it more useful.Peng Zushan said bitterly, "Your Highness, not to mention boosting the power of the magecraft bed crossbows, it's good that they can still be used in the next battle. In this battle just now, two of the ten mana bed crossbows broke, one was destroyed by
Quantitatively speaking, the deaths and injuries of thousands of monk soldiers did not have an essential impact on the monk corps, at least the white sea of them running towards the Yang Pass wall once again was still so turbulent and surging that they could not be seen at a glance.Between battles, Peng Zushan ran up to Li Ye, red-faced and stammering, and asked if King An could repel a few more attacks from the thief vultures if he had the chance, so that they could do a few more siege impacts, and the magical weapon bed crossbows on the barrier wall, and the various magical weapon bows that they had modified, would be able to play a greater role.Because the magic weapon bed crossbow had just been equipped, their previous estimation of the power and range of the bow was inadequate, the placement was flawed, and there were shortcomings in the crossbow's cross-coverage, leaving room for improvement in the lethality inflicted on large-scale siege armies.Now after
As soon as the sword style was activated, Li Ye's figure disappeared into thin air, and the thirty-odd Vajra Realm members simultaneously felt a chill go straight to their heads, as if they were falling into an abyss. That was the sign of extreme danger descending, and they couldn't help but all change their colors drastically.The leader of the monks just roared "disperse", just to see in front of the companions of several people neck blood spray, round head spinning flying into mid-air, no matter how hard the following words, can not say a word.Suddenly he found his vision spinning in the sky, as towering towers, crumbling walls, tidal waves of monks, blue skies, and even a white-gold sun slipped past his eyes one after another. Finally his sight returned to his companions, and he saw that they were looking at him in the same way that he had looked at the monks whose heads were suddenly flying across the room.Steeply, he noticed that a headless body that was be
The siege began suddenly, 50,000 monks and soldiers holding Zen staffs, dharma swords, shields and other blades and weapons, the rising tide of the sea like a violent sweep towards the pass; the siege began logically, because they had gathered outside the pass for a long enough time, and the generals and soldiers of the army of the Returning Righteousness at the head of the pass had long since finished preparing for the battle.Long days of winter sunshine, the four fields of sunshine, rolling smoke and dust at the feet of the monks and soldiers who could not see the edge of the sea, wave after wave tumbling up, this is the yellow sea of mud and sand, without half an exaggeration.The gateway trembled, a fine dust swirled up half an inch from the rammed earth walls, and a wisp of fine sand poured down.In the trembling is not only the Yangguan, the land outside the same, neat footsteps over the sound of war drums, as if a burst of thunder, Wood a face will be throu
