Vol 3 Chapter 23: Abandoned

(It’s updated today, sorry)
The starry night is cloudless, and the stars and moon are as clear as water.
Chen Xun, Ji Lie, Chisongzi and others stood flying in the clouds, looking at the mouth of the Demon Ruins more than two hundred miles away.
Above the mouth of the Demon Ruins, the black cloud rolled, revealing endless blood-devouring and fierce aura. Hundreds of extremely powerful six-clawed winged demons were hovering above the black cloud, monitoring the movement of the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Seeing that the black clouds of the evil spirits at the entrance of the Demon Ruins gather but not disperse, Chen Xun knew that during their fierce battle day and night, a monster, or demon clan, was more suitable, and a powerful array was also laid at the entrance of the Demon Ruins.
To the Demon Race, Moxukou is naturally an extremely powerful Sha Vein, which can directly attract huge amounts of Shaya from the Thousand Devil Realm infinitely.
The Northwest Territory’s Protectorate previously planned to take advantage of the influx of monsters into Yunzhou, frantically attacking the front line of defense, to concentrate the strong Yuan Dan and Dharma Realm, directly from the low-level monsters to open a channel, enter the Demon Ruins, restrict more The monsters poured into Yunzhou.
The Northwest Territory Protector House plans to kill the monsters in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, and then seal the mouth of the Demon Ruins in one fell swoop to completely solve the troubles.
Obviously, in the initial confrontation, the demon race's plan was obviously better.
One year ago, Chang Xi cultivated Yuan Dan and returned to the Northwest from Longmen Sect. After learning that Chen Xun was killed by Xia Xiangyi, he broke into Nanling alone and killed Gu Yangzi, but was repelled by True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrow. .
After that, Chang Xi went to Wushan, only to realize that Chen Xun was trapped in the sea of ​​flames and his life was not in danger.
Then Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng and others led 10,000 elite and brutal martial artists, followed Chang Xi into Beiling, and met the disciples of Shenxiao Haoranzong, ready to meet Chen Xun and escape from the flame sea.
The sea of ​​flames suddenly exploded, and the formations and defenses built along the first forward line of defense by Shenxiao Haoranzong and the Northwest Territory Duhu Mansion were all defeated by this sudden change.
Zhao Chengen and Hu Taiyan’s newly-established ban array is extremely narrow. Therefore, in addition to Chang Xi and Gu Chengzhuo leading their elite disciples to assist, Tie Xintong and Gu Jianfeng are all arrogant and continue to follow Chisongzi to hold on to the rear two hundred miles away. The second defense.
There is also the gate of the God Xiao Haoran Sect.
In the end, the Flame Sea, which hadn't disappeared for fifty or sixty miles, suddenly exploded, and the Canglong Ridge, which was more than two thousand miles away, also sensed the abnormal change in the fastest time.
The imprint of Chen Xun's soul remains in the Xuyuan Hall. Wushan naturally knows that after Chen Xun escapes from the sea of ​​flames, he will inevitably reunite with Shenxiao Haoranzong first.
Lei Wanhe, Su Tang, Su Lingyin, Jiang Bingyun and others led twelve Xuan Lei chariots directly from Canglong's spine, rushing to help Shenxiao Haoranzong, to meet Chen Xun.
At about the same time, Ji Lie led more than a hundred disciples from Chifeng Fort to assist Shenxiao Haoranzong.
After the two passers-by rushed to the meeting of the Shenxiao Haoranzong, the strength of the rear could barely open the channel for reinforcements from the sea of ​​hundreds of thousands of low-level monsters.
In the area between four and six hundred miles away from the mouth of the Moxu, the Duhu Mansion of the Northwest Territory has built a dozen fortifications, deployed a forbidden circle, and stationed a large number of generals and monks recruited from the Northwest Territory. They all stood still, or when they saw Ji Lie and the others marching into the remnant base from the north, a few strong Dharma realm led thousands of monks. They marched into the Devil’s Ruins from the east, south, and west at the same time, robbing Qingyan. The remaining base destroyed by the fire, trying to reconstruct the first forward line of defense...
The first group of monsters had already retreated. Hundreds of thousands of magic properties had retreated to gather within sixty miles of the mouth of the magic market, which was the edge area covered by the magic circle.
"Although there were a lot of remnants of the Thousand Demon Sect who sneaked into Yunzhou in the past ten years, the Demon Race has been blocked by the sea of ​​flames and has no idea about our deployment in Tushan Beiling. I guess that we have been in contact with this one. The influx of monsters into Yunzhou is just a tentative action by the demons. The demons only use this to detect our strength and avoid heavy losses by rushing into the elite troops when the situation is unknown." Chen Xun frowned, talking to Chisongzi, Ji Lie said, "If we think that the strength of the Demon Race is only this, then we are very wrong."
Ji Lie nodded, agreeing with Chen Xun's judgment.
The low-level monsters that came up first were the strongest but equivalent to the peak martial arts of the Tianyuan realm, and the weak were only equivalent to the peak martial arts of the True Sun realm, but the number of hundreds of thousands was shocking.
If the monsters that flooded into Yunzhou later were only of this level, things would be easier to handle. The Protector of the Northwest Territory is determined to be able to organize hundreds of yuan pills and strong powers in the realm of law to tear open the army of monsters, and directly enter the mouth of the magic market to block it.
The monsters first blasted open the sea of ​​flames, and then sent out a large number of low-level monsters to test the deployment here, and while the Duhu Mansion was indecisive, quickly deployed a powerful magical array at the mouth of the magic market, and all deployments appeared orderly. , Sophisticated...
This is the most terrible.
They thought that the Thousand Demon Realms were all monsters with low intelligence, and the intelligence they showed, or called the demon clan like Chen Xun, was more appropriate.

At this time, three chariots of mountains and rivers were defending from the northwest direction, galloping here, headed by a real Yuandan, wearing an emerald green spirit armor, and carrying a huge red fire spirit sword, stopped at a hundred meters away, towards Here they joined hands and bowed and said: "Xuan Dujiao Yun Zhou has seen Chen Zhenren, Ji Zhenren, Canglanhou, Cuiwei Fairy, General Fuyan wants to call four of them to Laolongtan to discuss matters..."
"Look to me, so that some people can take the opportunity to kill me again?" Chen Xun snorted and said with a loud voice, "Please go back and talk to General Fuyan and Yuan Wuhou, unless they will be scared. Bring the heads of Zhenjun and Gu Yangzi, otherwise, don't think I will be fooled by them again."
Seeing Ji Lie and Chisongzi both look indifferent, and the expression on Cuiwei Fairy Chang Xi's face, it seemed that they would retreat without knowing it, and would not mind killing them and discarding their armor. Yun Zhou was also full of bitterness.
With a stiff smile on Yun Zhou's face, he persuaded: "The enemy is now, everyone should abandon the previous suspicions and help each other in the same boat..."
"It's easy to get rid of the previous suspicion. Let True Monarch Red Eyebrow and Gu Yangzi come over and get rid of the previous suspicion with us!" Chen Xun sneered.
Looking at the expressions of Chen Xun and others, Yun Zhou knew that they would never be recruited by the Northwest Territory Protector House again. He was helpless. He had known that Luo Yuze would not come to be a lobbyist, but he would have suffered such a fall.
Ten years ago, when General Fuyan conscripted Chen Xun to see the enemy situation in the Flame Sea, Xia Xiangyi made an ambush. After the incident, True Monarch with Red Eyebrows and Gu Yangzi took the matter down, insisting that Chen Xun was the rebel of the Shenxiao Sect deceiving his master and destroying the ancestor, and everyone was punishable by everyone. Xia Xiangyi was killed on the spot by General Fuyan. The whole thing It became a bad book, and Ce Tianfu also symbolically reprimanded True Monarch Chimei and Gu Yangzi, without substantial punishment.
Wushan is weak, and I am not afraid that Wushan will be able to turn the sky in this matter, but who would have thought that Chen Xun was forced into the sea of ​​flames by Xia Xiangyi and was trapped in the sea of ​​flames for seven years.
"Yun Zhenren went back and let General Fuyan send someone to take over the defense here. We fought fiercely here day and night, and we actually asked Qianjianzong, Mengshanzong, and Wushan to rush to help from thousands of miles away. Want to come to General Fuyan too. Sorry, let us wounded and disabled soldiers guard this defense..." Chen Xun said.
Yun Zhou was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that Shenxiao Haoranzong would abandon the defense here, but he was unable to refute it.
In the initial chaos, Shenxiao Haoran Sect, Qianjian Sect, Mengshan Sect, more than a thousand disciples, stayed here for one day and one night, attracting all the monsters that first poured into Yunzhou, so that the Northwest Territory Protectorate can be in the north. , The west calms people's hearts and adjusts deployment.
However, it wasn't until Ji Lie led a crowd from Chifeng Fort, three or four thousand miles away, that the Northwest Territory's Duhu Mansion sent troops to push the Demon Ruins. To be honest, Yun Zhou was ashamed to see Chisongzi, Ji Lie, Chen Xun and others.
Seeing that Ji Lie, Chi Songzi, and Chen Xun are determined to abandon the defense here, Yun Zhou also knows that it is difficult to persuade them to abandon their previous suspicions. Although Ce Tianfu has countless strong people, he must count on Shenxiao Haoran at this time of crisis. Zong and Wushan held the defense line to the north, and could not force Chen Xun and others to bow their heads.
Yunzhou asked General Fuyan to move down the boxes of medicinal pills indicated by General Fuyan, and reluctantly led them back to the defenses to the northwest.

During the fierce battles day and night, all the medicines reserved by Shenxiao Haoranzong were almost exhausted. More than a hundred disciples were killed in the battle. The potential of other disciples was almost exhausted. The spirit veins and the spirit sea had hidden injuries. The base was handed over to the Northwest Territory Protectorate to pick it up, and they retreated to Tianzhu Peak more than two hundred miles away.
The Mozu hasn't made any major changes for three days in a row. After the Northwest Territory's Duhu Mansion regained the front line of defense and set up a formation, it also continued to tentatively attack the Moxukou, but all of them were defeated and the results were not great.
The magic circle set up by the demon clan at the entrance of the demon market is beyond imagination.
The evil formation covers a range of nearly a hundred miles. It is reasonable to say that the defensive power allocated to each point will be diluted to the extreme. However, Fu Yan and Jiang Wei assembled six real people of the realm of Dharma Realm to jointly attack, and they could not shake the evil formation. Even if the evil formation hadn't reached the level of the heaven and earth magic formation, it was not far away.
Other than that, there has been no greater movement in the past three days.
The more so, the darker the clouds weighing on Chen Xun and the others.
Everyone knows that the longer the Demon Race prepares, the more aggressive the next offensive will be.
But the evil spirit in the evil formation was rolling, and no one knew what the evil spirit was preparing in the evil formation.
"The Mozu is planning to fight a protracted battle, and we must be prepared for a protracted battle!"
The gate of Shenxiao Haoranzong at Tianzhu Peak is extremely simple, Chisongzi, Hu Taiyan, Zhao Chengen and others have lived in a house with their disciples for the past ten years, and their living is very simple.
Chen Xun and the others are determined to set aside the Northwest Territory Protectorate, and Tianzhu Peak has now become their base camp for gathering discussions.
Inside the Caolu, Chen Xun urged Ji Lie and Gu Wentian to abandon Mengshan and Gushan, and gather their limited forces to the northwestern foot of Tushan.
The Zhushan Mountain where the Shenxiao Haoranzong Mountain Gate is located is only two thousand miles away from the Canglong Ridge. A line of defense is drawn between the two to cover the northwestern foothills of Tushan Mountain and the Huze Wasteland behind.
Chen Xun has a clear idea of ​​the distribution of Wushan's spiritual veins. In the past ten years, Shenxiao Haoranzong has also traced the distribution of the spiritual veins of Tushan Beiling.
In Tushan Beiling, extending eastward to Wushan, there are a large number of spiritual veins and acupuncture points, three or four times as many as Shenxiao Mountain. Among them, there are many strange shapes that gather together, which is convenient for the migration of Mengshan Sect and Qianjian Sect. Mountain gate.
In this way, in addition to concentrating their limited power in one direction for defense, they also threw the defenses from the south and east to the Northwest Territory Duhu Mansion, and there was no need to worry about the Northwest Territory Duhu Mansion being able to play black hands in the back.
To fight a protracted war, long-term plans must be made in consideration of manpower and material supply.
In the first battle, Chen Xun and the others finally defended the remaining base and repelled the monsters, but more than a hundred disciples were killed in the battle, and most of them had cultivation skills above the womb level.
At this time, when the four sects add up, there are only 1,400 or 500 disciples at or above the womb level, and more than one hundred of them are lost in battle in one day. If this fierce battle continues for more than half a year, the foundation accumulated by the four cases will be completely exhausted.
Since the first devastation, the population loss near Gushan and Mengshan has been extremely heavy; in the past ten years, Cetianfu has arranged for a large-scale eastward migration of the population of Gushan and Yunzhong counties.
Without a huge population base, where would the Thousand Sword Sect and the Mengshan Sect recruit disciples who are one of a thousand and talented?
And when the existing disciples are exhausted in the continuous fierce battles of the Devil Slayer, and there is no new force to top up in the follow-up, the Shenxiao Haoran Sect, Thousand Sword Sect, and Mengshan Sect will soon be completely defeated.
Before that, Chen Xun and the others stayed in the stubborn base for a day and night, and the Northwest Territory's Duhu Mansion did not move. They just wanted to see the power of the Shenxiao Haoran Sect, Thousand Sword Sect, Mengshan Sect and Wushan Sect was consumed first.
At present, the only huge population resources on the two wings of Tushan Mountain are concentrated in Wushan.
The three thousand Canglan wild tribes all retreated to the cities on the southern foot of Wushan Mountain to avoid the evil.
Not only did Wushan gather one hundred thousand wild martial arts, but also the number of disciples in the school of academy increased to 20,000 within ten years.
As the subsequent war continued, 30 million wild tribesmen were forced to retreat to several cities and were unable to go out of the city to engage in large-scale agricultural and animal husbandry production. Once the food stocks are exhausted, a great famine will inevitably come, and Wushan will also quickly die. Lose.
Only when the Mengshan Sect and the Qianjian Sect moved to the northwestern ridge of Tushan Mountain, and the four sects joined forces to build a strong line of defense, Chen Xun could build a large number of cities in the northeast foot of Wushan Mountain, the northwest foothills of Tushan Mountain, and Huze Wasteland. Thousands of wild tribes evacuated and engaged in farming and animal husbandry around the city...R1058
