Chapter 527: Chaos in the World [Two-in-One] [Final Chapter of this Volume]

The old land of Shenxu, Frost North City.

After the battle to capture the city, the city became much less populated. Recently, the court was in turmoil, and because of the fear that Jiuyang would go south, many people moved away overnight and left this troubled place.

Among the surging crowd leaving the city, only a young man in tight black robe walked in from the south gate and walked along the street to a small restaurant.

As one of the few shops still open on the street, there was still no business here. The shopkeeper, chef, and waiter were all the same woman. She was originally sitting at the door looking outside. When she caught a glimpse of the young man, she immediately stood up and went back inside.

The person who came was none other than Yan Shenbing.

He walked to the store door and looked inside. He saw the woman was in a hurry, just fixing her hair and clothes. This woman was Gu Ping'er, who opened a store in Shuangbei City. She had previously captured Yan Shenbing's stomach with her unique cooking skills.

"Sorry." Yan Shenbing smiled, "I'm late."

"Hmph." Gu Ping'er turned her face away. "When you said you would come back to find me, I didn't really believe it. After all, there are not many people you can rely on in the world."

"I was appointed as a general of the staff when I returned. I have been training in Wu'an Hall for many days. I just finished my training when some minor incidents happened in Longyuan City." Yan Shenbing said frankly, "I came here right after things settled down recently."

"I've heard that the emperor is dead, the imperial teacher is dead, and some people even say that the high priest is dead, but I don't think that's possible..." Gu Ping'er smiled twice, "You are an official after all, so I don't blame you for delaying me because of these things. But these are all minor incidents, so what do you think is a big deal?"

"Coming back to find you is a big deal." Yan Shenbing said.

"Tsk." Gu Ping'er laughed out loud, "Slippery tongue."

"This is true." Yan Shenbing said seriously: "The favor I owe to Wu'antang has been settled since the battle to seize the city. What happens to the emperor, what happens to the national teacher... These have nothing to do with me, only you..."

"I didn't have any sex with you!" Gu Ping'er said sharply, "Be careful with your words."

Yan Shenbing's face suddenly turned red, and he scratched his head and said, "Anyway, it's more important to come back to pick you up, so I came here as soon as possible. You pack up and follow me back to Longyuan City."

"You didn't even ask if they agreed?" Gu Ping'er frowned and said, "I'm unfamiliar with Longyuan City. How can I open this store?"

"I'm afraid it won't be open anymore." Yan Shenbing said, "The popular restaurants in Longyuan City all serve mediocre dishes, none of which are as creative as yours."

"Fortunately, I can't keep my business here." Gu Ping'er changed the subject and said, "For so many years, you are the only fool who thinks that my cooking skills are good."

"That's because they don't know how to appreciate it." Yan Shenbing shook his head, "When we get to Longyuan City, you can cook for me and me alone, and let them envy you."

The two people talked to each other, and their eyes gradually softened.

Yan Shenbing once thought that he was going to take the elixir and die, so he had no intention of provoking Gu Ping'er. Later, when he won the battle to capture the city, he did not take the elixir, so he made an agreement with Gu Ping'er that he would come to her again after he came back to his senses and finished his business.

I didn't expect to be away for several months, and now I'm finally back.

In fact, Gu Ping'er had thought about closing the store and leaving a long time ago, and had even thought about leaving during the recent turmoil, but because of the agreement with Yan Shenbing, she chose to stay here.

She was still feeling a bit resentful, but now that she saw the man in front of her, her little emotions instantly disappeared. In this deserted and desolate city, the eyes of the two young men were as warm as spring.

"Come in, I'll make you something to eat before I clean up." Gu Ping'er was waving and greeting.

Suddenly, a flaming meteor streaked across the sky.

The fire line came from the north and landed in the southern part of Frost North City, exploding into a cloud of flames. The people who had not yet left the city were crowded together and were immediately affected, with cries and screams ringing out.

"The poisonous flame of the Fire Snake Tribe!" Yan Shenbing recognized the source of the flame at a glance.

The next moment, rockets streaked across the sky and fell like raindrops! After this round of volleys, I'm afraid nothing will be left in the city!
boom--

Fortunately, the defenders in the city acted quickly, and immediately deployed a city defense formation on the top of the city wall. The light curtain covered the entire city, rumbling and blocking this wave of rockets. However, countless ripples broke out on the light curtain, and it was obvious that it was also shaky.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, a nimble snake-like shape rose up in the air. After it fell, it became clearer that it was a giant python with six wings growing from its ribs. Its pupils were burning with fire and it was filled with poisonous aura.

"Teng Snake!" the defenders on the city wall shouted.

This is the totem beast of the Nine-Yarn Fire Snake Tribe. It has never moved lightly. The fact that it has appeared in Frost North City now must mean that the Fire Snake Tribe has come out in full force!

“Roar—” Teng Snake roared, and with blazing flames, he crashed headfirst into the city defense formation! Boom!
The light curtain cracked in an instant, like a piece of porcelain falling to the ground, and it looked like it would break if it was pinched.

And there was a huge bulge in the land under the city wall, which was pushing forward like a huge wave. It suddenly disappeared under the city wall, and the next moment it began to surge again in the city, rumbling loudly.

boom!
A giant bird with its wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun broke through the ground, raising a cloud of yellow sand.

“Earth Dragon Bird!” The defenders on the city wall were in a panic. “This is the sacred beast of the Earth Pheasant Tribe! Here they come, all of them!”

In an instant, billowing smoke and dust rushed out from a few miles away. There were countless tigers and wolves riding monster beasts. The sky was full of eagles and falcons, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the sky. Shouts of killing and strange chants resounded throughout the fields, covering Frost North City.

Judging from their uniforms, seven out of the eight existing tribes of Jiuyang have cavalry among them!
Jiang Lin, the general guarding Shuangbei Town, remained calm in the face of danger. Seeing the army approaching, he calmly ordered: "Open the battle formation in the city, send people to cover the people leaving the city through the south gate first, and the rest of you will follow me to defend the city to the death!"

There was a constant buzzing sound on the top of the city, and many formations were activated, instantly combining into a huge formation diagram. Layers of phantoms rose from the air to resist the fierce attacks of various powerful monsters.

But compared with the dark clouds and dust in front, Shuangbei City seemed a little small. The edge of the dust wave passed over the city and rushed to the official road behind to surround it. There were still many people leaving the city, and it seemed that they could not escape the slaughter!
At this critical moment of life and death, two armies with cold light suddenly rushed out from the left and right, and immediately cut off the Yang army that was outflanked on both sides. A huge halberd fell from the sky and intercepted the Yang army that was attacking the city gate head-on.

That was not anyone's magic weapon, but a divine weapon driven by thousands of soldiers working together. With a single sweep, the battlefield was cleared!
Among the galloping army, a general wearing light armor had a sharp light in his eyes. It was Tang Wei, Marquis of Bashan!

He set out from Longyuan City a few days ago and headed towards Bashan. According to the time, he should have just gathered troops from all directions and arrived at Bashan, but he has already arrived in Shuangbei City like a god descending from the sky!
An army of more than 100,000 suddenly rushed out, taking advantage of their rest and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, changing the situation on the battlefield in one fell swoop.

The Yang army, which had only shown off its might for a short while, was caught off guard and was unable to take care of both ends, and its formation was instantly in chaos.

Tang Wei had already led his army to the rear, shouting, "All the soldiers, follow me and crush the bones of Yang!"

……

Martingale, Phantom Peak.

This is the most spiritual mountain in the world. Every three steps there is a spiritual plant, every five steps there is a fairy beast, and there are auspicious clouds and mists. There is a white platform at the highest point of the peak. At this time, many priests are lined up on it, all with cautious expressions.

The priests on the Illusionary God Peak were all honored and high above wherever they walked in the world. But now standing in this team, they dared not even breathe.

The two leading the group were Xiao Ting in a black robe and silver hair, and Xiao Jue in a white robe and jade-faced. They both lowered their heads, quietly waiting for something.

After about half an hour, the two stone doors in front of them slowly opened, and a silver-white breath escaped from it. The priests present would feel their minds instantly cleared up if they smelled a whiff of it. Then, a figure in a sword-white robe walked out. He looked like a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, but his eyes were deep and his divine light was heavy, revealing a temperament different from his appearance.

Everyone in front bowed at the same time and said, "Welcome the Heavenly Priest to come out of seclusion!"

"Yeah." The boy nodded calmly, then asked, "How are your things going?"

There is a strict hierarchy on Huanshen Peak, with ordinary priests, high priests... Above the three high priests is the Sky Priest who controls the entire peak. And because of the lofty status of Huanshen Peak in the Jiuyang Tribe, this Sky Priest is actually the highest-ranking person in charge of the land.

He may not be involved in the direct affairs of the tribe, but as long as the Sky Priest speaks, no tribal Khan dares to disobey.

In a sense, the authority of the Heavenly Priest is even higher than that of the Nine-Riding Martial God.

After all, the Immortal Realm doesn't exist often, but the Illusionary God Peak has always been there. And the reason why it can maintain such authority is largely due to the existence of this generation of leaders.

The Nine-Martial Heavenly Priest, Xiao Moxian.

As the most brilliant and talented mystic master of the Xiao family, he faced the situation where the realm of immortals had been reached and he could no longer advance. He once made a bold statement… Since I can no longer become an immortal, then I will become a demon immortal, which can also be on par with the gods!
Xiao Ting and Xiao Jue looked at each other, both seemed a little hesitant.

In the end, it was Xiao Jue who spoke first: "Kuo Muye refused to take action. He claimed that he had made an agreement with Chen Yandao that he would not take action against Yin State."

"That makes sense." Xiao Moxian nodded, "He is just such a stubborn person, otherwise he wouldn't have been sitting there like a worshipped martial god. As long as Yin Kingdom no longer has the immortal realm, it doesn't matter if he doesn't take action."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Ting again.

Xiao Ting immediately said, "Bashan also refused to cooperate with us! I tried to persuade the King of Zhu Ren in every possible way, but he still...didn't change his mind."

"The situation in Bashan is precarious. If there is no civil strife in the Yin Kingdom court, they will be the first to be destroyed. This is a godsend opportunity for them. If they are unwilling to seize it, they will be courting their own destruction." Xiao Moxian was not angry and spoke to himself.

"Except for the Canglong tribe, the coalition forces of other tribes have already arrived outside the Frost North City, and should have been fighting by now." Xiao Ting added.

"Heh." Xiao Moxian sneered, "This group of fools think they have seized the opportunity. But they didn't expect that if Yin Kingdom was so easy to deal with, how could we have suffered such a huge defeat back then? If I'm not mistaken, Tang Wei would not have gone to Bashan at all! As soon as the news of Longyuan City spread, he immediately rushed to Shuangbei City."

"But..." Xiao Jue asked in confusion: "Since the Heavenly Priest has already guessed it, why didn't he ask us to warn them and just let them suffer heavy casualties?"

"No one will admit their stupidity unless they see blood." Xiao Moxian said, "Thirty years is too long. They have long forgotten how painful it was to lose last time. After this setback, they will be obedient in the future."

"The Heavenly Priest is far-sighted." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue bowed his head again.

As the seventh strongest person on the Tongtian list, he should be the one with the highest cultivation among the Jiuyang. There would be no one stronger than him among those present.

But he was extremely convinced by the priest that day.

"Xiao Zuan should be here soon." Xiao Moxian looked into the distance and said, "Shuangbei City lost and Beidi won, which can be considered a draw. Only then will the war officially begin. The battle with Yin Kingdom will not be over overnight."

After a pause, he looked at the two again and said, "But you all started off badly and didn't accomplish anything. You should still be punished. Otherwise, no one will work hard in the future, and Huanshen Peak will fall apart."

"Yes..." The two did not dare to refute, and there was fear in their eyes.

Without seeing how Xiao Moxian made any move, a light array suddenly appeared under their feet, from which emerged black tentacles like chains, which wrapped around their bodies, squirming and gradually tightening.

"what--"

Both high priests let out shrill wails.

……

"call--"

Xuanyuan Shisi let out a long breath and retreated to the back, with a thin layer of sweat on his face. It was obvious that this kind of thing was an extremely mentally exhausting task even for him.

Liang Yue was watching with concern from the side, very worried about Liang Xiaoyun's condition.

Until Liang Xiaoyun opened her eyes and called out softly, "Mother, brother?"

"Xiao Yun, you're awake." Li Caiyun held her daughter's hand and almost cried for joy.

"Yeah." Liang Xiaoyun nodded and hugged her mother.

Liang Yue turned around and said to Xuanyuan Fourteen, "Thank you, Senior."

"Nothing." Xuanyuan Shisi smiled, "You helped me get rid of Beiluo Shimen and fulfilled my lifelong wish. This is a big favor. Now I am just saving my apprentice."

"No matter what, it is a great favor." Liang Yue said, "If you need anything from now on, please just ask."

"Let's not talk about it later. I have a request right now." Xuanyuan Shisi said.

really.

Liang Yue knew that nothing good came for free in the world. Xuanyuan Fourteen had put in so much effort, so he must have had some purpose.

Then he said, "Xiao Yun's talent in the secret arts is indeed rare in the world. No wonder Bei Luo Shimen is attracted to her. There are not many people with such talent and spirituality in tens of thousands of years. I want her to be the saint of Huanshen Peak and truly inherit my legacy."

"Phantom God Peak?" Liang Yue looked at him in surprise.

"The people on Huanshen Peak now are all my disciples who have been passed down for countless generations. However, when I called upon the Demon King of Xuanming Sea and the Nine-Yarn Martial God... I never borrowed any strength from them. This is because they no longer recognize me as their ancestor. All current practices have long deviated from the essence of the divine way. In a sense, the path they take is more similar to that of Beiluo Shimen."

"Now that Yin State is in chaos, there will be a war between Yin and Yang. If Yin State loses this war, then all the people will be devastated and everything will end. If Yang State loses, then I will return to Huanshen Peak, and Xiaoyun will continue my legacy."

"Of course, you don't have to worry that I have the same intentions as Beiluo Shimen to harm Xiaoyun." Xuanyuan Shisi said, "You can let her practice until her cultivation is not weaker than mine, and then come to Huanshen Peak."

Liang Yue stared at Xuanyuan Shisi, judging whether his words were sincere.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had refined the new Nine Secrets Book before. The "Jie" character seal he obtained from Beiluo Shimen could see into people's hearts in an instant.

So he said, "This matter is of great importance after all. Senior, please give us some time. When Xiaoyun recovers, I will give you a reply in person. I cannot decide these for her."

"Okay." Xuanyuan Shisi nodded, and after thinking for a while, he added, "You are about to go to Liangzhou to return the dragon energy. It may become a battlefield again. You must be careful. The people of Yin country do not understand the strength of this generation of sky priests. From my point of view, he is much more terrifying than every previous generation of sky priests."
