Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1521 The troops are approaching the city

Outside Tiancang City, the undead army from the Eastern Territory marched into the city in unison. In the towering palace at the rear, the Lord of the Eastern Territory, Feng Qian, sat in the main seat above, listening to the reports from everyone below.

"King Fengqian, after passing this city, the front is the jurisdiction of Fenghua District. According to the latest news we have received, all the lords of the Northern Territory are currently gathering in the Northern Territory City to fight against the Southern Territory army. There are only a few troops in Fenghua City. Guard." A living creature of the undead realm knelt down and said.

"Where are the people from the Western Region?" Feng Qian's eyes flickered.

"It is reported that they attacked from the west and drove straight in. They have reached Huiyuan City and stationed there."

"Is there any news about the alien fanatic who claims to be the God of Death?"

"It should still be in Fenghua City."

"Should? Is there no definite news?"

"That foreign madman rarely shows up, and our previous spy in the Northern Territory doesn't know where she is."

"A bunch of trash." Feng Qian snorted coldly.

A Lord of the Restoration Realm who was sitting upright below said: "Your Majesty, since Meng Yuan and others have gone to Beiyu City, Fenghua City is short of manpower and the troops are scarce, we can take it down in one fell swoop."

"What's so rare about a mere magnificent city? The key is to determine the whereabouts of the alien fanatic. We should not act rashly until there is no accurate news."

"Even if the alien madman is in Fenghua City, he only has one person after all. With our combined strength, there is no need to fear him."

"I can't say it that way. Du Zhen is not easy to deal with. When he led all the elites from the Northern Territory to attack Fenghua City, he not only failed to capture it, but also lost his life. This shows that the alien madman is really capable. We Don't be careless because you are alone, you need to treat it as a strong enemy, otherwise you will suffer big losses."

"When does your Majesty plan to attack Fenghua City?"

"Let's wait for the news about Wutian. Meng Yuan and others have gathered troops to confront him in Beiyu City. I think there will be a battle that will determine success or failure soon. Let's see their victory or defeat first before making any plans. If they win , it won’t be too late for us to attack Fenghua City again, if they lose, it won’t make much sense for us to take Fenghua City alone.”

"Besides, didn't the army of the Western Region stand still after entering Huiyuan City? They are not in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry. Let's take a look at the situation first, so as not to end up working hard to make wedding clothes for others."

As soon as Feng Qian finished speaking, an undead creature from the Shengyuan Realm strode in from outside, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Chief Zhenxi, the envoy sent by the Southern Territory, is here to pay his respects."

"Oh? Maki is here?" Feng Qian was a little surprised: "Invite him in!"

"King Wutian sent Maki in person during the battle with the Northern Territory. I think there must be something big going on." A lord of the Restoration Realm below said in a deep voice.

Another lord of the Restoration Realm asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the attack in the Southern Territory is not going well, please help us?"

"Listen to what he says first, and then watch!"

Soon, an undead creature in the Restoration Realm was brought into the palace.

"Fellow Taoist Zhenxi, why are you here in person? Fellow Taoist Wutian sent you here, what is the important matter?"

"King Wutian has been killed." Zhenxi responded with a solemn expression.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned pale with shock. Feng Qian repeated in disbelief: "What did you say? Fellow Taoist Wutian was killed?"

"Yes, King Wutian encountered an ambush on his way to Beiyu City with his army and was unfortunately killed. He is already dead. Yuantian is now the commander-in-chief of the army. He asked me to inform you whether to continue to march or withdraw to the various regions. , it is up to King Feng Qian to decide for himself. If both the Eastern and Western Regions decide to continue to attack the Northern Region and eradicate the alien madman, please ask the two kings to lead their troops to join our army and gather all their forces to fight the Northern Region to the death. , If not, we will also retreat to the Southern Region."

Several people in the palace had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Feng Qian and the two Restoration Realm lords below looked at each other, and they all saw looks of shock and horror in each other's eyes.

"How was fellow Taoist Wutian killed, and who did it?"

Maki then told the whole story of the attack, and finally said with a gloomy look.

"We underestimated the strength of the Northern Territory. The two Fuxi Realm experts of unknown origin were very powerful. Although they only had the first and second Fuxi Realm cultivation levels, they almost suppressed King Wutian from the beginning to the end. I saw it with my own eyes. It turns out that under their joint attack, King Wutian could only parry and had no power to fight back. At that time, I was also restrained by Meng Yuan and could not help me, but I did not expect that King Wutian would die in front of them. In hand."

Several people looked at each other, Feng Qian frowned: "Two practitioners of the Restoration Realm of unknown origin? Are they the helpers invited by the alien madman?"

"They are not alien cultivators, but there is no doubt that they must be following the orders of the alien madman in Fenghua City."

"If you're not a cultivator from a foreign race, where did that come from?"

"We are also curious about the identity of these two people. We have no clue yet. The most urgent task now is not to find out the origins of these two people, but to determine the strategy of advance and retreat. King Fengqian, you want to join our soldiers and fight with the alien race The madmen will fight to the death, or retreat to the Eastern Region. Please make your decision!"

Feng Qian and the two people below looked at each other and said slowly: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Let me consider it carefully."

"There is no time for long-term deliberation. We have to make a decision now. Yuan Tian and other Taoist friends are waiting for my reply. If King Feng Qian does not give a clear reply, we will withdraw to the Southern Territory immediately."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We have already gathered a large army into the Northern Territory. How can we withdraw just like that?"

"The murder of King Wutian can no longer be concealed. The hearts of the great soldiers in this region are in turmoil. They must make a decision as soon as possible. If it is delayed any longer, it will inevitably cause turmoil. When the time comes, people will run away and flee. They will become a mess and collapse without a fight. .”

Feng Qian's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice: "Were there any casualties when the Northern Territory attacked you?" "Excluding those minions in the Shengyuan Realm, the lords of the Restoration Realm in the Northern Territory suffered three casualties, including one dead and two wounded."

"Who was injured? Are the two practitioners of the Restoration Realm of unknown origin dead or injured?"

"The three dead and injured are all lords of the Northern Territory. The dead one is Hua Yuan, and the two injured are Xiang Kong and Zimo."

"Apart from the two unidentified Restoration Realm practitioners in the Northern Territory, is it possible that there are other Restoration Realm practitioners who have not shown up?"

"I don't dare to speak too harshly, but in my opinion, it is unlikely that there are other practitioners of the Restoration Realm who have not shown up. This time they came out in full force to ambush King Wutian, and they were killed and injured for this purpose. Killing three lords of the Restoration Realm, the price is also not small. This is an extremely risky move. If there are other strong men with the strength of the Restoration Realm, they will definitely participate in the ambush."

Feng Qian was silent for a while: "Friend Zhenxi, I want to hear your opinion. Do you think we should advance or retreat?"

Zhenxi said: "If I were the king of Fengqian, I would definitely bet on everything, because this is our only chance. If we fail this time, and each of us retreats to our territory, the result will be that we will be defeated one by one. Now that we are united, no matter what The alien madman is so powerful that he can at least fight a battle, but once he retreats, the strength of a single party will be completely unable to compete with him, and he will only be at the mercy of others."

"Especially as the Lord of the Western Region, that foreign fanatic will never let you go if he wants to rule the Western Region. Others may have a chance to surrender, but you cannot be safe."

"The situation in the Northern Territory is proof that the alien madmen surrendered everyone except Duan Zhen."

"Actually, both Yuan Tian and I are inclined to concentrate all our efforts on fighting the alien madman to the death, so Yuan Tian invited me here not only for notification but also for lobbying. I have already mentioned the stakes that need to be mentioned. What should I do? If you do, please consider it yourself, King Feng Qian.”

.........

In Beiyu City, between the majestic and majestic city walls, rows of undead creatures were waiting in formation.

High in the sky, dark clouds were gathering, squeezing heavily in the sky, as if they were about to fall down at any moment.

Soon, violent winds and rain came like thousands of horses galloping in, adding an even more chilling air to the already solemn atmosphere in the city.

In the dim palace, Tang Ning sat at the head of the throne and listened to the reports from all parties.

"King Messenger, according to your deployment, all teams have been assembled at the designated location and are only waiting for orders." An undead creature hurriedly came in and saluted.

Just as he finished speaking, another undead creature quickly stepped inside and bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy, according to the latest news from the spies, most of the enemy troops have passed through the Qiuji Mountains and divided into three groups, heading towards Coming from Beiyu City, it is expected to arrive within eight to ten hours."

"Reporting to the King of Envoys, the enemy sent an elite team to investigate along the way. Many informants lurking on our way were discovered."

……

Messages came one after another. Tangning waved her hand, and several undead creatures in the living realm silently retreated. Only Meng Yuan and a few people were left in the hall.

After Wutian was beheaded, the Southern Territory army not only did not disrupt their position, but also united the forces of the Eastern Territory and the Western Territory. The three families joined forces and attacked the Northern Territory City.

Although this move was somewhat beyond Tang Ning's expectations, it seemed reasonable if she thought about it carefully. The strength shown by the Northern Territory frightened them, which in turn aroused their desire to join forces to warm up and share the same hatred of the enemy.

Originally, the three families divided their forces into three groups to attack from three different directions, with the Southern Territory mainly attacking the Northern Territory City which was being defended from the front.

The Eastern Region and the Western Region go straight to Fenghua City, where the Death God is seated.

Although they agreed to jointly conquer the Northern Territory, they still each have their own agendas and want to take advantage with less effort. Now that the three families have gathered their forces together, they are obviously more united than before.

As far as the overall situation is concerned, this is undoubtedly the right decision. If they retreat in the middle like a plate of loose sand, the final result can only be that they will be defeated one by one and unite together to have the power to fight.

However, this is only under normal circumstances. For the girl in white, no matter how many practitioners of the Restoration Realm join forces, they cannot threaten her.

The enemy obviously underestimated its strength, which is reasonable. Any normal person would not believe that it is a real god, and would only regard it as a powerful and ambitious alien practitioner. .

Even within the Northern Territory, most of those who surrendered did not believe that the girl in white was the true incarnation of the god of death, they were just afraid of its strength.

What's more, it's not that this kind of thing has never happened in the world of the dead. With the example of the Netherworld King, others will not believe in the title of the God of Death.

The top leaders of the East, South and West regions all knew that the girl in white crushed Du Zhen and conquered the Northern region, but hearing it was one thing and seeing it was another thing.

After all, they didn't see it with their own eyes and couldn't imagine the scene at that time. They only felt that the girl in white was only slightly stronger than Du Zhen, maybe a little stronger than Wu Tian, ​​but she was by no means invincible. As for the Northern Territory Others surrendered only because they succumbed to intimidation and were frightened out of their wits.

In the entire undead world, including the undead creatures in the Northern Territory, there are no more than three people who truly believe that the girl in white is the incarnation of the god of death, including Xin Yi and Yuan Jian, two practitioners who have returned from the abandoned land. , they are well-informed, they are all fossil-level figures, they know many secrets that others don’t know, and they may believe them.

In addition to this, there is at most one Fenghua City Lord Xing Yuan, whose ancestors have studied the Netherworld King for generations and have preserved portraits of him, so they may be believed.

Others were dubious at best.
