However, Li Keyong could not counterattack Li Ye for he had no soldiers or horses.
Not long after Li Keyong killed Li Cunxiao, the guards wrapped his body in a straw mat. Just as the guards were about throw away the body, Kang Junli, who went to the grasslands to borrow troops from the Tartar clan, had returned.
However, there were no Tartar troops with him. He came back alone.
Li Keyong saw him in his study.
As soon as Kang Junli entered the door, he fell to his knees and began crying.
He came back alone on his horse, without even a guard.
The guards had all lost their lives at the steppe. Kang Junli himself was also covered with blood. His hair was all messed up and he looked utterly awful.
After listening to Kang Junli's story, he froze on his chair and his eyes were dumbfounded.
There was a change of climate with the Tartar clan. More precisely, the entire grassland had change
Li Keyong laughed upon hearing his words, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "God?"A smile appeared on Yelv Abaoji's face. The smile seemed bright and harmless, however, a sharp edge was hidden inside. "The lord seems to have some misunderstanding about God?"With a flick of his sleeves, Li Keyong grinned and said, "There are gods in the world and immortals in the heavens, but there is only one god between heaven and earth, that is myself!""God is god, and man is man. Since the lord is so confused about your position, it seems I need to help you so that you know your identity." Yelv Abaoji's tone was casual as usual, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. He didn't seem angry all, but he raised his hand to Li Keyong gently.He raised his hand so lightly that it seemed as if he was picking up falling snowflakes. It was gentle and unthreatening. However, when Li Keyong and Kang Junli saw this s
Of course, it was Li Ye.Li Ye glanced at Li Keyong and Yelv Abaoji, and his gaze lingered on Yelv Abaoji inexplicably for a moment. "Yelv Abaoji?"Of course, he knew Yelv Abaoji.In his previous life, after he ascended the throne, Qidan invaded Yingzhou in the northeast and became another big border threat of the Tang Empire. Zhu Wen occupied the Central Plains and fought against Li Keyong, who was the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, for many years. Yelv Abaoji once allied with Li Keyong and made an appointment to deal with Zhu Wen together.However, Yelv Abaoji broke faith with Li Keyong. He attacked the states and counties under Li Keyong's jurisdiction and brought him a lot of troubles and casualties. Li Keyong was so angry that he asked his son to avenge him and fight north to Qidan, before he died.Unexpectedly, Li Keyong already reached the dead end now, and Yelv Abaoji came to find him. This was destiny.
It seemed that Yelv Abaoji's round bead was a Magic Treasure for escape. If it was just a mortal magic tool, it would be useless in front of Li Ye, who was now able to kill the cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm instantly.Li Ye was surprised that Yelv Abaoji was really going to leave. This guy was talking big in high spirits and he was passionate just now. According to common sense, even if he didn't fight to the death, he should fight against him fiercely. Who would think that he would run away as he said?Li Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Li Ye felt for a moment, and soon he had a judgment in mind. Even if he used the "Purple Qi Yin and Yang", he was not sure of disabling the black bead, so he chose to wait and see.Li Ye was just surprised, but Li Keyong's face was bloodless.He stared at Yelv Abaoji angrily. "Why are you so dishonest? Just now, you and I vowed to form alliances and help each other.
When Great Cultivators fought, they would usually set an enchantment in advance, in case of hurting the innocent or being seen by ordinary people, which would affect the order of the human world.The cool night breeze swept over the roof, the tiles, and Li Ye's clothes and hair. Then, it slipped away from the courtyard door. The leaves rustled, and the sound of the gong was heard from afar. Except for the Inspector General's Manor, this ancient city was still moving on the original track tonight.Not many people died tonight, but it was very bloody because the dead people were very powerful and they died in a cruel way.It was very cold in the courtyard.The smell of blood came to Li Ye's nose, making him frown.He glanced at Li Keyong, who was lying on the bluestone floor, and suddenly lacked interest. He stood up, rolled his sleeves, flew up, and left this absurd place.Maybe, Li Cunxiao was destined to
The administrative regions of the Tang Empire were divided into four levels of prefectures, counties, towns, and villages. The terrain in the east of Mount Tai was generally flat. Qing Prefecture was the capital of Pinglu, and there was fertile land. There were large areas of farmland with crisscross footpaths outside Qing Prefecture. The cottages in each town and village were very dense.People started work at sunrise and rested at sunset. There was always a busy scene of farming here in recent years. The farmers went out and went home with their hoes. In autumn, the harvest would ensure that they would have plenty of food and clothing for the whole year.But now, the farmland outside Qing Prefecture was completely destroyed. The well-growing crops were trampled and destroyed, turning into mud. They were no different from weeds. There was no one in the cottages where the fire was burning, and everyone fled to the city for shelter.Within a rad
Chang'an City.The city had long been under martial law, the shops in the east and west cities were basically closed, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. As the patrolling guards went past, you could hear the rings on their armor clanging, which signified clearly the extreme times.The mountains were full of wind and rain. Although the war had not yet broken out, the dark clouds had already shrouded the city. Even the blazing sun seemed to be mixed with the chill that could make people feel cold.Martial law did not just apply to the streets, but even the Imperial Palace.Many rarely seen grand masters had all revealed themselves at this moment. They would now appear inside and outside of the palace walls from time to time. With the current situation, no one could know whether the opponent would send Great Cultivators to assassinate. After all, the emperor's safety was very important.At the end of Vermilion
The first rays of the morning sun spilled over the ancient city of Taiyuan, and the cold left by the long night had not yet dissipated, but the rows of neighborhoods was awake. People opened their doors and walked into the courtyard. The breakfast carts in the streets and alleys were sporadically steaming, gathering groups of early customers.Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes on the low couch and saw the golden sunlight seeping through the windowsill. As the sun rays spread on the carpet, a smile appeared on his face.Hedong had settled down for some time now, and the Pinglu Army had already stationed troops in the four prefectures of Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Weizhou. They were now steadily progressing with the follow-up matters. As Li Ye had totally taken control over Hedong, he now had absolute military and political power over these eleven vassal states.What followed was the Luck of the people who gathered here fro
Pinglu was under Zhu Wen's attack, and Zhu Wen had the support of the Taoist sect. So Pinglu was in a dire situation. Once Pinglu was lost, not only would Li Ye's strength be greatly damaged, his reputation would also take a big hit. After all, Li Ye had not suffered such a defeat since his debut.And with Zhu Wen's rise in power, Li Ye's followers would have to rethink their future and consider turning their backs on him.But that was for the future to think about. At present, Kang Chengqian and others just couldn't refuse Li Ye. Plus, If Zhu Wen really replaced Li Ye and became the rightful ruler of the Central Plains and the North, wouldn't they have to bow at his feet?So there was no difference between lending their loyalty to Zhu Wen and to Li Ye.In reality, Kang Chengqian and others knew that even if Li Ye lost Pinglu, he still had the vassal states of Hedong and Weibo. So Li Ye's power was still great, coupled with his pro
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
