The city walls were littered with severed limbs and broken bodies.

No one had expected that the siege by the group of monsters would be so easily broken by Ying Wuji.

One force breaking ten thousand laws.

This terrifying physique had already reached a level that was beyond the reach of everyone today.

Perhaps, except for some who had mastered the killing spirit and the divine power, it was probably impossible for anyone to deal with him.

As long as he led the army without error, he would definitely be recognized as a famous general in the world.

And this person had already fallen into the hands of the King of Chu.

The main generals of the various countries all had solemn expressions. They did not know that if one day in the future, they encountered Ying Wuji in his prime on the battlefield, how much chance of winning they would have.

The three families of the Qujing Zhao of the Kingdom of Chu had even uglier faces. How did this person manage to escape with his merits and achievements?

The battlefield fell silent for a moment.

The group of monsters in the sky scattered and fled. Now that Ying Wuji had landed, they had completely lost the opportunity to kill him. Not to mention killing Ying Wuji, it was already lucky not to be harvested by Ying Wuji in this situation of being hunted.

Another moment.

They had to escape quickly.

But it seemed that Ying Wuji did not intend to harvest them either. He leaped onto the city wall.

Presumably, he was already exhausted.

The group of monsters breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That move just now had made them feel a little frightened. Although it was only for a moment, it was still the posture of a war god.

But no matter how strong Ying Wuji was, he was still a normal person. As long as he was a normal person, there would be times of weakness and retreat.

Just as they had this thought.

They saw Ying Wuji holding a sword to the neck of a person.

This person.

Was the Marquis Ji Tong.

Ying Wuji was in a very bad state, with wounds all over his body, cuts, poison, and burns. The burns on his back were even more terrifying, and if it were someone else, they would have already been seriously injured and unconscious.

But Ying Wuji's body was still straight, and in his blood-burning state, his aura did not diminish at all.

The hand holding the sword was very steady, as if he was ready to cut off Ji Tong's head at any moment.

His voice was very calm: "Did I let you go?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Ji Tong: "???"

The sound of killing outside the city walls was deafening, and there was silence on the city walls.

Everyone held their breath and focused. According to the information publicly available, the Marquis Ji Tong was a real expert in the realm of the divine spirit, and there were even some secret rumors that Ji Tong might have already achieved the position of a saint, which was why Zhou Tianzi valued him so much.

Where did Ying Wuji get the courage to hold a sword to Ji Tong's neck with such serious injuries?

To dare to tear off the face, very brave!

To dare to provoke the strong, even braver!

But, my friend, are you playing too big?

Even Mi Duo was stunned for a moment, not expecting his own son to be so tough.

If Ji Tong made a move.

How would this end?

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, then a signature warm smile appeared on his face.

He turned around: "Oh? What does little brother Ying want from me?"

Ying Wuji smiled: "At the previous Demon Subjugation Conference, although you all dared not show up and sneaked into the corpse of Kunpeng, you still voiced your support for me and promised to do your best to rescue me. But today, you are all selfish and cowardly, breaking the alliance. This is a shame. If you have no sense of justice, I will kill you without hesitation. However, now that everyone is united to fight against the monsters, although you are unrighteous, I cannot be unrighteous. I won't kill you. But you can't leave without an explanation. You are being too idealistic."

Everyone: "......"

This wave of events was truly standing on the moral high ground.

Ji Tong's tone was quite calm: "So, little brother Ying, what do you think I should do?"

Ying Wuji smirked: "Because of your selfishness, I was in mortal danger. I want you to go and die, but you definitely don't want to, and you are also consuming the strength of our alliance for no reason. How about this, find a treasure that is worth your life to compensate me, and we'll call it even. If you can't bear to part with it, then kowtow to me."

"Hiss..."

The people present couldn't help but gasp.

Although the five thousand Black Armor Army under the Marquis Ji Tong had only cooperated in the attack, they had also shown elite-level strength. Now, he had a total of forty thousand Black Armor Army under him.

In front of so many people, threatening a big shot like this was not appropriate, was it?

Even if the other party really had a treasure to give you, would you have the life to take it?

Indeed.

Ying Wuji had shown considerable toughness just now, but now there was a tendency to be tough and brittle.

There was also a hint of worry in Mi Duo's expression, wanting to stop Ying Wuji, but he dismissed the idea.

This wave of Ying Wuji's ruthlessness.

It was obviously to save face.

If he acted as a peacemaker, this face might be lost forever.

And he vaguely felt that Ying Wuji not only wanted to save face, but also wanted to fight for something else.

But... would Ji Tong really let himself be manipulated?

Ji Tong's smile gradually became playful: "Oh? The soldiers under my command are all fighting with blood..."

"Blood?!"Ying Wuji directly cursed, "Anyone with eyes can see that the group of demons is out to kill me. I don't care about my face, but I need something to wipe my butt. If you really can't bear to part with your magic weapon or your dignity, let's have a fight. You don't care about your face, but I want some righteousness!"

Everyone: "..."

Ji Tong: "..."

Just now, he said he couldn't ignore righteousness, but now he's talking about wanting righteousness.

They are all nobles.

This foul mouth is really something new.

They just realized that Ying Wuji's foul mouth is already famous. If he can endure injustice, how could he possibly leave Kingdom Li?

Is he really going to confront Ji Tong over this trivial matter?

A trace of gloom flashed in Ji Tong's eyes. He didn't expect Ying Wuji to really want to argue with him over this trivial matter.

Even if you are strong.

You are only at the level of a soldier, even if you have the body of Emperor Zhuanxu and a holy spirit fetus, you are still just at the level of a soldier.

Leaving?

He snorted, "Do you really think you are qualified to bring up this condition now..."

Ying Wuji transmitted his voice, "If you keep pretending in front of me, I will expose everything about you and Zhou Tianzi. Go back to your mother's womb and establish your authority there! I advise you to be rational, because I am very irrational right now."

Ji Tong decisively took off his boots, "Here, take it. Cloud-stepping boots, with the ability to shrink and travel."

Everyone: "..."

Mi Duo: "..."

They were all stunned.

They didn't expect Ji Tong to compromise so readily. Did he see Ying Wuji when he was eating dumplings?

They had heard of these boots, which had no combat significance, but the ability to shrink and travel was enough to turn all traveling magic weapons into dust.

Ji Tong smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Ying Wuji put away his sword and grabbed the boots in the air, with a hint of disdain in his expression, "The gift is light, but the sentiment is heavy. I'll accept it. Do you have athlete's foot?"

Ji Tong: "..."

Ying Wuji said to himself, "It's already shed, so there should be no athlete's foot. Just wash them and you can wear them!"

With that, he put away his sword and walked back.

But he didn't head towards Mi Duo. Instead, he walked towards the three main generals of Qu Jingzhao: "Ji Tong has made his offer, what about you?"

Qu: "???"

Jing: "???"

Zhao: "???"

Seeing each of them preparing to curse in anger, Ying Wuji directly thrust his long spear into the ground, burying it deep in the hard city wall.

He waved his shining sword, "I came to Kingdom Chu to help you weaklings pacify the demons. Ji Tong is a master at the Wushen level, and his soldiers are strong. He still wants to give me some face. As for you, you may not even be stronger than the demon I just skewered, and your soldiers are also defeated. Where do you get the courage to show attitude to your savior?"

Qu: "..."

Jing: "..."

Zhao: "..."

Although the words were harsh, it seemed to make sense.

Although they were not defeated soldiers, their morale was low.

And Ying Wuji had been burning with blood, his momentum was exceptionally intimidating. If he dared to attack Ji Tong, he would certainly dare to attack them.

This man was no longer rational. If he attacked, it would be a real threat to their lives.

With so many people present, they were neither in the right nor in a position to fight.

For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

"Look at you poor bastards, I guess you can't produce anything good."

Ying Wuji sneered and pointed to Ji Tong's bare feet, "I won't make it difficult for you. I'll treat everyone equally. Take off your shoes, and we'll call it even."

The three looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this man didn't go too far.

After a moment of silence, they took off their shoes.

But when they stood barefoot on the city wall, they still felt a bit embarrassed.

Ying Wuji waved to Han You, "Come here, take off your shoes!"

Han You: "..."

Ying Wuji searched everyone who could fly on the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, the shoes were piled up into a small mountain.

Standing barefoot on the city wall, a strange smell filled the air, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

But there was no other way. At this critical moment, who would dare to argue with these two fools?

And at this time, the corpses of the Kunpeng and the demons were taken away.

This wave of little demon tide was officially over.

Ying Wuque burned the mountain of shoes, and when the royal family of Zhou and the high-ranking officers of the Qian army returned to the city wall, he said in a deep voice, "Let's have a meeting!"

Everyone looked at each other.

They could only follow one by one, barefoot.

Fifteen minutes later.

Military camp.

The camps of various kingdoms were full.

Ying Wuji sat in the deputy position, and behind the screen, a detailed drawing of the internal structure and defense of the Kunpeng's corpse was already hung up.

The content was extensive and precise.

Leaving no doubt about the authenticity of the drawing.

The gazes of the people looking at Ying Wuji became even more wary. If he could escape from such a strict defense, his individual combat power was probably terrifying.

The annotations on the drawing were even more hair-raising.

Especially the blood pool in the stomach of the Kunpeng.If the recovered demon corpses and demon blood can nourish the remaining demons, the pressure faced by the next major demon tide may be stronger than before.

Nangong Ling waved his hand: "I see the demon race as nothing more than that. Even if the next major demon tide is stronger than before, the Zhou royal family has only contributed five percent this time!"

The crowd: "..."

Ying Wuque's gaze darkened. If what Nangong Ling said was true, it would be difficult for him to steal the limelight from the Zhou royal family with his current strength. There might still be some chance if Ying Yue were at his peak.

The effect this time was almost enough, and the major demon tide could lay low for a while. After all, he was only building prestige for the Qian Army, and the effect had been achieved.

He smiled and said, "Since Nangong Master is so confident, then the main attack of the major demon tide will be left to you."

Nangong Ling smiled faintly, "Of course, this world belongs to the Zhou royal family, and the demon disaster should naturally be led by us!"

When he said this, he was extremely confident.

Because the intensity of this demon tide was completely within expectations, and how fierce the major demon tide could be depended entirely on the official position bestowed by the Zhou royal family.

Even if the average strength increased by thirty percent, the situation would still be under his control.

Without the Qian Army to vie for the limelight, why wouldn't he be happy?

He glanced at the people present and felt quite pleased to see their fearful and respectful eyes.

Except for one pair of eyes that looked at him as if he were a fool.

He asked in a deep voice, "Ying little brother, do you have any thoughts?"

"I have no thoughts!"

Ying Wuji pursed his lips, "As long as Nangong Master is happy!"

To be honest, he didn't want to fight this battle.

Everyone was just thinking about putting on a show, dragging others to walk the tightrope on the cliff.

Sometimes he really wanted to expose these people and be done with it.

But these people were quite powerful, and they were likely to resort to desperate measures.

And the fact that the Tianren Clan could turn the direct guards of the Zhou royal family into a unique elite resource was something he really wanted to take advantage of.

He would endure them a little longer.

Ji Tong, barefoot, smiled faintly, "Since Nangong brother is so confident, then everything will proceed according to the original plan. The demon disaster is not enough to overturn the entire alliance. What do you all think?"

The group of barefoot people looked at each other.

In the end, they all nodded.

Even several Chu Kingdom generals who were not privy to the situation thought the same.

Because based on the performance of the Zhou royal family and the Qian Army today, it was indeed enough to resist the entire major demon tide.

Nangong Ling looked strangely at Ji Tong, with a hint of surprise and gloom in his eyes. But since everyone was speaking up for him, he felt it would be inappropriate to contradict them.

Just as the meeting was about to come to a close.

Ying Wuji suddenly spoke, "I have no objections to this battle, but there is one thing that you all must do!"

It wasn't a request.

It was a must.

Although some people felt disgruntled, no one said anything. After all, Ying Wuji had made great contributions today, and being deceived was just a minor inconvenience for everyone.

Nangong Ling frowned, "Ying little brother, please speak!"

Ying Wuji stared at everyone, "After this major battle, regardless of the outcome, all remaining forces must join me in killing the Kunpeng's corpse when it appears."

Upon hearing this, both Nangong Ling and Ji Tong furrowed their brows.

They only wanted to show their strength, not to fight the demon race. The place where the Kunpeng's corpse was located was the root of the demon race in the Central Plains, and going in meant fighting to the death.

For them, to end the major battle, they only needed to revoke the official positions of the demon group, which would take only a day of secret sacrifice.

But Ying Wuji's words meant that they were being forced into a tough battle.

Nangong Ling's expression turned cold, preparing to speak.

Ying Wuji directly cut him off, "There is a blood pool inside the Kunpeng's corpse. If it is not destroyed, this demon disaster will never end. Of course, if anyone has another method to end the war without taking risks, as long as they can persuade everyone present, it will suffice."

Nangong Ling: "..."

Ji Tong: "..."

That was something they couldn't say.

If they said it, it would be no different from self-destruction.

Ji Tong was the first to nod, "I think Ying little brother's words make sense!"

Nangong Ling followed closely, "A wise move, indeed a hero among the younger generation."

The two of them praised sincerely, but felt somewhat depressed inside.

They hadn't expected to be directly tied up by Ying Wuji like this.

With the two big shots speaking, the others also nodded one after another.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, Ying Wuji's words made sense.

Ying Wuji nodded slightly, "That's good! Let's make a military order. After the battle, anyone who can still stand must join me in going in. If anyone violates this before the battle, they will be executed. There's no need to sign, I've already been disgusted enough today."

After speaking, he directly took out a scroll and spread it out.

It was adorned with elegant and delicate patterns, and faintly displayed the character "trust."

This was drawn by the sage of Confucianism. The five virtues of Confucianism were benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. This scroll represented "trust."

After signing it, anyone who broke their word would suffer great inner condemnation.

Some would be melancholic day and night.

Others would have their noble hearts shattered.Ji Tong's eyes twitched at the thought of entering the Kunpeng's corpse with his own sage realm, knowing that he would be taken care of by the Demon King.

This Ying Wuji.

He just caught onto his little scheme.

Forcing him to do things he didn't want to do.

Since Ying Wuji came out just now, it was as if he had been saying to himself: Ji Tong, you don't want to ruin your reputation, do you?

Before he could react, Ying Wuji had already signed and pushed it in front of him.

Ying Wuji: "Sign it!"

Ji Tong: "......"

Mi Duo smiled faintly, "What? Was the joint agreement just talk?"

Ji Tong: "......"

He looked deeply at Ying Wuji and signed his name with a pen. Then he felt a clear stream entering his heart, the work of the sage.

Although he believed that his combat power must be stronger than the sage, the heart of the sage knows no high or low. If he violated his integrity, the consequences would be unbearable.

He was fooled by Ying Wuji again.

Soon.

The scroll turned a full circle.

Everyone signed their names.

Ying Wuji then stood up and stretched lazily, arching his hand towards Mi Duo, "Father! I am quite injured, so I will go down to recuperate first."

Mi Duo patted his shoulder, "Good! I will have someone send you healing medicine later."

He then said a few more words and disbanded the post-war meeting.

......

In the camp of the Bai family.

Ying Wuji was shirtless, letting Hua Chao apply a special spirit medicine to his back.

To be honest.

Today's experience was really something.

If it weren't for Bai Zhi holding back the Void Phoenix, he might not have been able to hold on until the Kunpeng's corpse reappeared.

Being surrounded by hundreds of great demons was not something a human could handle.

As a result, when he faced the demon tide later, he felt as if he were a high school student facing a kindergarten, bursting with energy on the spot, and even killed two great demons, feeling quite relaxed.

Blood burning.

A minor issue.

A cut.

A minor issue.

But the Void Divine Fire was really hard to handle.

If it weren't for the deep foundation of the Bai family, he might really have to endure a lifetime with a back full of rotten flesh.

But hehe.

It felt really good to deceive Ji Tong into confronting the Phoenix Girl.

Ying Wuji didn't know what his chances were against the Phoenix Girl, but he was sure that if they fought, he would be in pain whether he won or lost.

Now, with Ji Tong as the scapegoat, he could see the true strength of these two big shots.

Speaking of which, his father was really generous.

When he asked for something to restrict the sage, he actually took it out.

"Will Little Bai Zhi be in danger?" Hua Chao asked worriedly as she applied the medicine to him.

Ying Wuji waved his hand, "She won't be in danger. She has my wooden man on her, and if worst comes to worst, I will take her and escape from the Kunpeng's skin."

Hua Chao spat lightly and continued to apply the medicine to him.

Ying Wuji looked at Bai Nong, "Elder Bai, you observed the entire battle today. How do you feel about the strength of the royal family and the forces of Kingdom Qian?"

Because someone wanted to show off, the Bai family only defended on the city wall, and the two elders observed the strength of all parties throughout.

Bai Nong looked serious, "They are all very strong, and this time's performance is evenly matched. However, the strength of Kingdom Qian is based on resources and killing intent, still using the tactics of the previous tiger and wolf army, with no holds barred from the start. Compared to the previous Qian army, they are naturally much stronger, but this should be their full strength.

On the other hand, the royal family has a lot of remaining strength, with the old man Nangong Ling's trained battle formation, plus the strong average cultivation level, they basically suffered little damage in the face of the demon tide.

The old man Nangong Ling said that there is still more than fifty percent of his strength left, and it may not be an exaggeration."

Ying Wuji nodded slightly.

This evaluation clearly favored the royal family, being able to elevate a group of young soldiers to this level, the resources of the heavenly race were truly invincible, no wonder it made Ji Tong so envious.

But the resources of the heavenly race were only this much.

Unless they really brought the heavenly race down.

Otherwise, in the long run, the strength of the Qian army would only become stronger, and this old bastard, relying on the Bai family's secret realm and his own demon veins, was truly living the high life.

But the resources of the demon veins were limited, so the scale of elite troops would not be too exaggerated.

Overall, even with the difference in the Bai family's secret realm, the forces of Kingdom Li should be stronger.

He asked, "How does our Bai family's army compare to them, not counting numbers?"

Bai Nong pondered, "If we don't count numbers, we are stronger than the Qian army, but if the royal family's direct guard doesn't hold back, we should be slightly weaker."

Ying Wuji nodded thoughtfully.

The foundation of the Bai family's army was built by himself, but Bai Nong was also considered the second instructor, very clear about the strength of the Bai family's army. And his judgment was quite sharp, so there should be no problem.

However.

There was one variable he was unsure of.

That was his domain of slaughter.

Once the battle began, his strength would definitely skyrocket, but to what extent, he was not too sure.

Could he make up for the numerical disadvantage, or even surpass it, he was not confident.

"Never mind!"

Ying Wuji asked again, "What about Ji Tong's Black Armor Legion?"Bai Nong said in a deep voice: "The performance of the Black Armor Army is no different from before. The individual strength is extremely strong, and they follow orders. However, they only assist in the attack and do not have a strong presence. I can't judge their true strength."

Ying Wuji clicked his tongue. He naturally felt that the Black Armor Army was very strong.

Well-trained and calm-minded.

However, the ten thousand Black Armor Army that appeared last time was constantly at a disadvantage. Inside the Tongtian Array, they often couldn't even see the shadow of the Zhao family's elite, and were killed by the power of the array and the hidden arrows.

In the end, they were ambushed from both sides and were completely wiped out.

It can only be said that the old man's array is really too abnormal, and it is really difficult to judge the true strength of the Black Armor Army.

"Understood!"

Ying Wuji nodded: "Elder, you've worked hard!"

At this time.

A voice came from outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open.

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Mi Duo quickly helped Ying Wuji up: "No need for formalities. Wuji, sit down quickly. How are your injuries?"

Ying Wuji moved his shoulder: "It's nothing serious. I should recover before the Great Demon Tide."

"Very good!"

Mi Duo nodded and asked after some thought: "Do you have any grievances today?"

Ying Wuji understood that he was referring to the grievances of the Qie Jingzhao family, who had coldly watched and refused to help.

Without thinking, he waved his hand and smiled: "What grievances? I had already anticipated the situation in the Chu Kingdom before I came. I was mentally prepared long ago and have no emotional fluctuations. But, foster father, these people should be dealt with."

Mi Duo sighed lightly. He understood Ying Wuji's meaning.

The essence, energy, and spirit of the Chu Kingdom's team had been almost completely exhausted by the demon disaster. Even in today's battle, they were close to being on standby for rest and recovery.

The Qie Jingzhao family was in a sorry state, and the Mi family was not much better off.

If the Mi family wanted to suppress the Qie Jingzhao family, they had to be strong.

This demon-slaying battle had to be fought beautifully.

He said in a deep voice: "The Mi family has only a small foundation. For safety's sake, we won't appear on the front lines unless absolutely necessary. If it really comes to that, the Mi family's thirty thousand elites will all be under your command!"

Ying Wuji didn't hesitate at all and nodded directly: "Okay!"

Mi Duo sighed inwardly.

He had never expected that one day, the future of the Chu Kingdom would fall into the hands of an outsider.

Before the demon disaster, the Chu Kingdom was still a powerful old country.

Even though there were constant internal conflicts, other countries did not dare to underestimate it.

As a result, the Chu Yan battle and the year-long demon disaster completely exposed the Chu Kingdom's shame.

If the stubborn nobles were not eliminated, the Chu Kingdom would only have one path to destruction, even if it survived this demon disaster.

It was a gamble.

...

In the residence of the Marquis.

The candlelight was bright.

Ji Tong was reading as usual, with a calm expression and a smile on his lips.

Nangong Yan stood beside him and asked softly, "Will I really lead the troops at that time?"

Ji Tong nodded: "Otherwise, what else? Don't you want the world to see that the Nangong father and son are nothing compared to you?"

A trace of worry flashed between Nangong Yan's eyebrows: "But I have never led troops in battle before. What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'!"

Ji Tong smiled and stood up, walking behind Nangong Yan. He wrapped his arms around her waist with his sturdy and tall body, enveloping her in his embrace: "All you need to do is show up. By then, you will find that you are the best choice to lead the troops. When the Nangong father and son fall into the dust, it won't just be their reputation that is tarnished."

Nangong Yan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ji Tong's voice carried a hint of indifference: "There are also corpses!"

Nangong Yan: "!!!"

Ji Tong smiled faintly: "In fact, it's a good thing that Ying Wuji is unwilling to obey me. By doing so, the blade of revenge will only be in your hands. As long as Nangong Ling and Nangong Yu die, your inner demons will be completely released, and the path of cultivation will be smooth from then on!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

A voice suddenly sounded abruptly from the side.

It carried a hint of mockery and playfulness.

Ji Tong didn't even turn his head: "It's very rude to barge into someone else's residence without permission."

Ying Wuji sneered: "I've done even ruder things. Am I supposed to be afraid of this?"

As he spoke.

He sat down on the chair without any courtesy.

He looked at the two of them with a smile that was not a smile: "Speaking of which, you are also a pervert, always instigating others to kill their fathers and brothers."

Ji Tong then released Nangong Yan and sat opposite Ying Wuji, smiling faintly: "The titles of father and brother are just chains that bind people. Mozi once said that mutual love is the most important. The so-called titles of father and brother are irrelevant. Those who kill will die, and those who harm will be punished. Is it not a sin to do evil under the titles of father and brother?"

"Brilliant! I almost forgot that you are a Mo Saint, always speaking in circles!"

Ying Wuji clapped and laughed: "But today, you almost put me in a deadly situation. Shouldn't you also die for it?"

Ji Tong: "..."

Ying Wuji curled his lips: "Well, this kind of rule that restrains ordinary people, how can it be applied to a saint like you? Above oneself, all beings are equal. Below oneself, there is a distinction between superior and inferior. You have really mastered the double standard!"Ji Tong was not angry, just sighed lightly: "I am guilty. After the new order is established, I will naturally sacrifice myself. You don't need to worry about it. The reason you doubt me is because you don't understand the true meaning of 'sage'."

Ying Wuji: "Oh?"

Ji Tong said lightly: "When you become a sage, everything you do is to make the path of the sage the great way of the world. This is destiny! Qingyi is a sage, but she destroyed her own body because she felt that her path as a sage could not be realized, and life lost its meaning."

Ying Wuji cut in: "Qingyi did not do evil in the name of the sage's path, but you are playing quite a game."

Ji Tong smiled and said, "That's because Qingyi's path as a sage is wrong, and mine is right!"

Ying Wuji: "......"

He finally understood.

Sages can go crazy.

This kind of spiritual old man who is obsessed, even a hundred oxen couldn't pull him back.

He tapped the table lightly with his finger and asked, "So, no matter how I advise you, you will release all the monsters in the monster nest?"

"Yes!"

Ji Tong answered without hesitation.

Ying Wuji asked again, "Even if the boat capsizes?"

Ji Tong nodded, "Even if it capsizes, there is no hope for the world that has not followed my path as a sage."

Ying Wuji stood up, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "You are really amazing. I hope you won't cry when the time comes."

After that, he directly opened up the space and left.

This kind of person cannot be persuaded, there's no need to bother.

......

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth month.

These days, the morale of the various allied forces in Yucheng quickly warmed up, and everywhere was filled with the talk of Zhou Tianzi's invincibility, dispelling the previous gloom that shrouded Yucheng under the influence of the monster race.

Of course, this kind of talk was definitely spread under the instruction of Nangong Ling.

But everyone was very receptive to it, even Mi Duo, under Ying Wuji's suggestion, allowed Nangong Ling's behavior.

Because the previous morale was too low, it really needed something to stimulate it.

The effect was naturally good. Although the Chu army still had not completely emerged from the shadow, it was completely different from the previous silence and despair. It was not easy to get out of the end-of-the-world-like shadow that had lasted for several months.

Nangong Ling was quite satisfied with this response. In just five days, he frequently interacted with the various Ji clans, hinting at the fact that Zhou Tianzi had now received the favor of the heavens. As long as everyone followed the Zhou royal family, they would also receive the same elite forces in the future.

This made everyone hesitate.

Because everyone could see the strength of the Zhou royal family's direct guards, although they still had the habit of being arrogant, their strong combat power was obvious.

If they had such elite forces in their own homes, their combat power would definitely be stronger than the current direct guards of the Zhou royal family.

Moreover, now that the Ji clan alliance had been established, what was wrong with everyone eating meat together?

Even the Flame Kingdom, which clearly stated that it would not participate in the war, sent special envoys to secretly approach the Zhou royal family, beyond Nangong Ling's sight.

As the sky gradually darkened, the last ray of the setting sun disappeared from the horizon.

On the night of the fifteenth full moon, most of the monster race would become more ferocious and formidable, and the great monster tide would naturally become more terrifying.

On the city walls and below, the high-level officials of various countries were on high alert, each in their rightful positions.

To protect the Zhuan Xu Seal, Yucheng was surrounded by mountains on three sides, plus a large array for protection. The pressure on the mountain side was minimal, and most of the forces were concentrated on the front of Yucheng.

The layout was the same as last time, with the Zhou army and Qian army, plus Nangong Ling's 5,000 Black Armor Legion as the main attack force, while the others either filled the formation or dealt with the aerial forces of the monster race.

As for the Chu army, because they had lost their vitality and their morale had not fully recovered, except for some elite troops in relatively unimportant positions, all the others were in logistics, looking completely dispirited. The various countries were also happy to see this situation, because even if they won this battle, the Chu Kingdom would be in a slump for a long time.

Everything remained the same.

There was only a small change.

That is, the armies of the various Ji clans had each drawn a hundred elite soldiers to join Nangong Ling's forces.

Everyone wanted to see if Zhou Tianzi's decision was worth following.

After all, they were not fools. Even if Nangong Ling did not explicitly say it, they could see that behind this, there seemed to be signs of the existence of the Tianren Clan.

Nangong Ling smiled lightly and said, "Since everyone has no objections, then it's settled!"

After that, he directly took Nangong Yu and leaped off the city wall.

He took the lead and walked in front of the formation.

He turned around and looked at the elites of the various Ji clans.

Under his gray-white beard, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "The Ji clan will last forever!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"The Ji clan will last forever!"

"The Ji clan will last forever!"

"The Ji clan will last forever!"

The voices were loud, reaching the sky.

Although there were some problems with the last Mu Ye stele, the amplification of bloodlines still existed. The Ji clan alliance had basically been established.

This was the first time they had publicly shouted "The Ji clan will last forever."

For a moment, there was a feeling of unity.With a roar, the faces of the people from other countries changed drastically.

But they shouted with great enthusiasm, experiencing the pride of a great nation for the first time.

Nangong Yu's face was filled with worry as he turned to look at the city wall. "Father, what about Yan'er?"

At this moment, Nangong Yan was standing next to Ji Tong, wearing armor, clearly preparing to go to the battlefield.

Nangong Ling snorted coldly. "She actually sold her life to Ji Tong. She's really digging her own grave! From the moment she left home, your sister was already dead. Now, she's just a shell with a similar appearance. If you truly miss her, then make the most of the essence she left behind. Her spirit will be comforted even in the afterlife."

Nangong Yu: "..."

This was a bit self-deceptive.

He subconsciously glanced at Ying Wuji on the city wall. He had secretly contacted Ying Wuji once in the past few days.

They didn't say much.

Just a few words.

But Ying Wuji said that his sister was in a very nice place, where everyone was talented and spoke nicely. Nangong Yan was living happily there, occasionally showing a smile. One day, she would surely recover from the spiritual turmoil that had troubled her for many years.

Hopefully!

Nangong Yu sighed quietly. "Father! I'm not talking about that. I just feel that Ji Tong's behavior is too abnormal. Could it be..."

A trace of gloom flashed across Nangong Ling's face as he transmitted his voice. "The Emperor said that everything is under his control. We just need to follow orders. You don't need to think about those messy things, just perform well."

"Okay!"

Nangong Yu nodded heavily.

The night sky was clear.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

If it weren't for the tense atmosphere on the ground, tonight would have been a good time for romance.

The allied forces were high-spirited, their scales shining brightly, reflecting the moonlight from time to time, dazzling like blades.

Suddenly, for a moment.

The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze.

The shadow that covered the moon and stars appeared again, making everyone feel a chill.

It's here!

Everyone held their breath, and even though their morale was high, they didn't dare to underestimate this great demon tide. It was said to be an existence that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Ten breaths.

Fifteen minutes!

In an instant, the corpse of the Kunpeng completely solidified, blocking all the light in the night sky.

Countless bird cries and beast roars appeared out of thin air in the shadow, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The demonic energy surged and covered the sky and earth.

Even Nangong Ling couldn't help but change his expression. He felt that something was not quite right, but the demon tide was too massive, almost completely blocking his spiritual awareness. For a moment, he really couldn't realize what was wrong.

But soon he knew.

It was when the first tall green-faced tiger clashed head-on with him.

The strength was not right!

Just as Ying Wuji had said.

The strength had increased significantly out of nowhere.

But... it was still within the range he could handle.

As long as the number of demons didn't differ much from the previous demon tide, they could still gain the upper hand, even if more people died.

Nangong Ling let out a muffled roar.

Then, his true energy erupted, and he actually slapped the green-faced tiger far away with one palm.

The strength of the descendant of the Saint of War was displayed to the fullest.

...

On the city wall.

Arrows and poisonous needles were flying everywhere.

The miserable cries of humans and the painful wails of demons intertwined.

People fell one by one.

Demons fell one by one.

As soon as the battle began, everyone had already stepped onto the edge of life and death.

The morale of the human alliance forces was still high, but they could feel that the pressure this time was significantly higher than expected.

The city wall, which stretched for several miles, was filled with overflowing blood and flying body parts, piled up so high that they were kicked off the wall to make room for new soldiers.

On the arrow tower.

Ying Wuji was using thunder magic to play with the demons. The demons recognized him, but they didn't dare to provoke him, as he had become famous in a battle five days ago. Even when surrounded by over a hundred demons, they didn't take his life, and he was able to break through on his own.

Such a fierce person couldn't be killed in a siege, so there was no point in doing something meaningless.

And Ying Wuji was alone, so he didn't pose much of a threat. In the sea of demons, it was difficult to pose a threat to the great demons.

Their only goal was to break through the city and break Zhuanxu's seal.

"This is too difficult!"

Ying Wuji's thunder magic didn't stop, and although each strike was accurate, he still felt somewhat powerless.

It was like the endless mode in Plants vs. Zombies, no matter how many cherry bombs there were, they were useless.

This apocalyptic scene was no wonder it had cast such a shadow on the Chu*** team.

He turned to look.

It was Mi Duo, who had led the battle several times, and even he was frowning at the moment.

"Getting stronger?"

"Getting stronger!"

Mi Duo nodded, feeling quite uncertain. He didn't know if he could withstand this demon disaster.

He looked into the distance, feeling slightly relieved. "Nangong Ling is truly worthy of being the descendant of the Saint of War. He has thoroughly mastered the art of war. Even such a powerful demon nest can't break their formation!"

Ying Wuji nodded in agreement. "This old man indeed has some skills."

At this moment, the demon tide was like a raging flood, and the army led by Nangong Ling was like a dam, unmoved by the demon tide's onslaught.The three main forces have an average cultivation level that is quite strong.

In addition, Nangong Ling's deployment of an additional ten thousand soldiers has effectively reinforced the defense line, creating a feeling of impenetrability.

Very strong!

At least stronger than Ying Wuji had imagined.

But their strength is limited.

He wasn't present last time, but he heard from Mi Duo that the last time the Zhou family and Qian army were quite strong, able to fight in and out of the demon tide, cutting through and consuming, making their battles seem like an artistic enjoyment. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so popular.

But this time.

There's no cutting through and consuming, just a mess!

What Ying Wuji saw was the soldiers standing in formation, intercepting.

The pressure from the demon tide even made these thirty thousand elite soldiers unable to move, forcing Nangong Ling to use the deployment of ten thousand soldiers that hadn't been used for five days.

It has to be said.

These ten thousand puppet soldiers are as precise as a war formation machine, executing the formation better than the young master's soldiers.

If placed on a normal battlefield, they would definitely be first-rate elite soldiers, but they have a major flaw, which is that they are not proficient in spells, their attacks are extremely monotonous. When encountering a normal human army, they can still cause trouble, but facing the demon nest, there are flying demons and all kinds of spells flying around.

So, the defense line built by Nangong Ling naturally became a breakthrough point for these ten thousand puppet soldiers.

This seemingly indestructible dam officially burst after holding on for a while.

The strong dam against the flood turned into a stubborn rock in the flood in the blink of an eye.

Although still strong.

It was no longer able to resist the flood.

At most, it could intercept a few demons.

In the blink of an eye, the demon horde poured in, and Ying Wuque, who was already under considerable pressure, suddenly felt as if the sky was falling.

From a distance.

Ying Wuji could see that Ying Wuque's face was pale, sending out distress signals while leading the soldiers to resist the demon tide.

Although the situation was already somewhat out of control, he didn't flinch at all, not showing any signs of fear, doing his best to stop the demon tide from reaching the city walls.

The city walls had already been corroded quite a bit by the toxic liquid that had fallen from the sky, and this time there were many fierce beasts several zhang high and weighing thousands of catties attacking the city. If they were driven to the foot of the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the sound of a horn.

Tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly poured out from the city, quickly forming the second line of defense.

At this moment, Nangong Ling, who was almost submerged in the flood, also gave up his meaningless role as a stubborn rock.

Quickly turning around and rushing towards the second line of defense.

At this moment, his white hair was flying in all directions, looking extremely crazy.

He had never expected that the demon tide would come so swiftly.

He had used all his tricks, but he hadn't even been able to hold on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. This scale was definitely not part of Zhou Tianzi's plan.

He really wanted to curse.

But cursing was of no use.

If Chu Kingdom's Zhuanxu's seal was broken in front of him, then Zhou Tianzi's face would be completely lost.

With no buffer time, the demon race swarmed in, and it would be meaningless even if the heavenly and human races came to meet them.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill down his spine.

Now he remembered Nangong Yu's words, and then thought of Ji Tong's strange behavior, and felt deep regret.

Tianzi!

You are too overconfident!

"Kill them back!"

Nangong Ling's voice was extremely bleak.

However, there was a flaw when the army turned around. A demon that looked like a mountain demon suddenly turned into black mist and sneaked into the formation, secretly entering the soldiers' seven apertures.

Because the situation was too chaotic, Nangong Ling didn't notice this.

When he led the troops back to support, he suddenly felt that the formation was not right.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the formation was in chaos, with soldiers fighting each other.

Heads were flying in the air, and in just a few breaths of infighting, the casualties were even greater than the time they had resisted the demon nest for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

At the broken necks, blood gushed out like a crimson demonic fountain.

The young master's soldiers, already extremely nervous under the unexpectedly large demon tide, were finally unable to hold back after witnessing such a bloody scene.

The terrified screams were continuous.

And the internal chaos became more and more intense.

Nangong Ling was furious, how could he, with his broad experience, not see the mystery in this?

Immediately, with a grasp of the void, several soldiers were lifted into the air by him, and with a pull of his right hand, several living people were instantly turned into pieces of flesh and corpses.

Strands of shadows lost their physical support and were forced to reassemble into the appearance of a mountain demon, looking at Nangong Ling with a face full of fear.

Nangong Ling didn't hold back at all, directly ending the life of this mountain demon with a sword.

Then he forcefully suppressed the internal panic.

The young master's soldiers barely managed to steady their minds.

But it was already too late.

Even though Nangong Ling acted quickly, the formation was already in chaos.

Strands of demon nests broke through the formation of thirty thousand people, causing chaos.

Cutting through!

Consuming!

Last time, Nangong Ling's performance during the small demon tide.

It was replayed on themselves, and with the demon race's mysterious and ever-changing methods, it was even more thorough and brutal.

Finally.

These young master's soldiers could no longer hold on, and the entire formation fell apart.Nangong Ling's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at the sky with unparalleled horror. In a place that couldn't be seen, there was a tactical master of the Yaozu that was no less than himself.

This... is a provocation!

But in the face of this provocation, he had no way to deal with it.

The previous ten thousand puppets had already been slaughtered.

Nangong Ling gritted his teeth, took out a pill and swallowed it directly into his abdomen. The surging true energy instantly swelled several times.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, turning into a curtain of blood, and then with a wave of his right hand, countless soybeans were scattered, each wrapped in blood, and by the time they landed, they had turned into countless puppet soldiers wearing blood-stained armor.

Twenty thousand!

The ferocity of these puppets was several times stronger than the previous ones, quickly filling in the missing formation and stopping the trend of defeat.

Ying Wuji watched with wide eyes at the arrow tower. The final form of the scattered beans into soldiers, each puppet would consume the life essence of the caster. Nangong Ling, this old man, was really going all out.

"Fight back!"

Nangong Ling's face was as pale as paper, but his momentum was overwhelming.

As long as he merged into the second line of defense, it might not be impossible.

It was at this moment that Ji Tong's voice rang out on the battlefield.

His tone was calm, not hoarse, but in the deafening sound of killing, it was clearly heard by everyone.

"Black Armor Legion, attack!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The five thousand Black Armor Legion outside quickly contracted their formation, and the thirty-five thousand Black Armor warriors inside the city also rushed out quickly.

In just a blink of an eye, they had completely merged into the second line of defense.

The most eye-catching was Nangong Yan, who was riding a white horse.

Although she looked puzzled, her eyes were extremely cold.

The moment she merged into the battle line, she activated all the true energy in her body.

Strands of pure and distinct true energy turned into tens of thousands of threads, stringing the dantian of the forty thousand Black Armor warriors.

She didn't know the meaning of what she was doing, she only knew that Ji Tong had told her to do so.

But she quickly understood why.

When the threads formed a closed loop, the entire Black Armor Legion seemed to have become a single entity.

These ten thousand threads were like the meridians of a new whole, surging with vast true energy.

The just completed True Yuan energy instantly reached perfection, and even broke through.

The accumulation of forty thousand true energy.

How terrifying was that?

Ying Wuji: "..."

He understood that this was the ultimate use of the part of the world-shaping technique that Ji Tong had mastered. This divine ability itself was the divine ability of creation, which naturally included the creation of life.

And Ji Tong used Nangong Yan as a medium to directly transform the entire Black Armor Legion into another kind of life with a different meaning.

Invincible.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of panic.

Just with one glance, he knew clearly that everything that the Zhou royal family had planned this time would probably fall into Ji Tong's pocket.

The person who put those things in Ji Tong's pocket was his abandoned daughter, Nangong Yan.

A sense of powerlessness surged from his heart.

But he had no time to care.

Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This tide of demons should be able to be stopped.

With this line of defense, he wouldn't be completely defeated.

He arched his hand towards Ji Tong on the city wall. "Thank you! Let us in."

But Ji Tong just smiled faintly and didn't speak.

Nangong Yan unsheathed her long sword with a clang.

"The battle line is formed!"

"Fully control the demons!"

"Under no circumstances should the battle line be opened without authorization."

"Comrades outside the battle line, take care of yourselves!"

Nangong Ling: "???"

He turned his head and looked.

There were countless eerie and monstrous beasts behind him.

And his thirty thousand elite soldiers were left outside the battle line.

Even the Qian*** squad had already merged into the battle line.

In a fit of anger, he just wanted to get rid of Nangong Yan as soon as possible.

But at this moment, Nangong Yan was not someone he could shake.

At this moment, the long-awaited demon tide's impact came.

Nangong Ling could only lead his remaining troops, with a broken formation, back into the battle.

Under the collapse of their mental defenses.

The direct guards of the Zhou royal family seemed to have changed thirty thousand people.

Although the young guards were still outstanding in their cultivation, their combat power had plummeted to the bottom.

The once indomitable elite troops, under the impact of the demon tide, were like chickens waiting to be slaughtered, falling down one by one, losing their vitality.

Under the fierce and brutal impact, even the spells cast on the city wall couldn't be performed.

Nangong Ling's eyes were bloodshot, looking back at Ji Tong on the city wall with an extremely ferocious expression, but he was helpless.

On the other hand, the second line of defense that the Black Armor Legion had merged into was extremely solid.

It seemed to have completely stabilized the situation.

However, not long after, Ji Tong's smile froze on his face.

The masters present all looked up.

They felt an extremely terrifying force.Uncertain of the time it will be sent, but before ten o'clock...
