Chapter 119 The Two Armies Confronted with Each Other
Xiao Qi was engaged in arranging the war affairs. Xu Linghe wanted to leave but Yan asked him to stay. That night, Lv E came to the underground city and brought the bad news that the devil army and Baize headed to the mountain forest, only 10 kilometers away from the tunnel. Yan could not sit well at the news and hurried to report the leader. Xu Linghe was woke up at midnight. Two little soldiers asked Xu Linghe to the military camp. Wuyou could not rest her heart, so she changed herself into an attendant and followed him. The moment they arrived at the military camp, Xu Linghe was pulled into the Commander-in-chief’s camp by Yan. Wuyou saw the back figure again. They sat down, and then the back figure took the military camp from the void and flipped his spiritual fingers to pin the layout map on the wall. In order to see it clearly, the back figure changed the map into confrontation map. The black part was the devil army; the white part was Baize; the blue was the dark force of Teal Hill. Yan pointed the locations of the black and white for Xu Linghe, which was only a mountain away from the blue part. Nowadays, how to disperse the black and the white’s attraction so that the blue could have the chance to take a breath? The war was imminent. Only 10 kilometers away from the Dragon Cliff. Xu Linghe looked at the map and had a plan in his heart.
“Nowadays, we can see the enemy, but they cannot see us. It is beneficial for us.” The back figure was delighted at his words and praised him inwardly, thinking that the young man was not a reckless man who did experience many great events.
“Your Excellency, what do you mean?” Yan was willing to hear Xu Linghe’s wise idea. Presently, the enemy was strong while they were weak. It was not so easy to win. But Yan knew that Xu Linghe had ideas.
“The enemy has not known clearly our locations. So we should not act rashly and blindly. The underground city is our dead point. Although it is built secretly, we should take action with great caution. We can be divided into several parts to distract the devil and Baize’s armies. Forest attack is our strength. We should allot the army on all the forts to attack the enemy in all directions. The larger the scale, the better. To let the Baize’s and devil’s armies know that the dark power is unavoidable.”
“Yan, do as Mr. Xu said. To gather the dark force first and wait for the order. Before that, no mistakes! Don’t expose yourselves. Whosoever dares to violate the order will be killed.”
The word “Kill” was resounded in the camp. Only the strict army would have the morale like a fierce tiger. Yan understood what Xu Linghe meant, including the boy scouts of eighty to ninety years old (equal to eight to nine year old in the human world).
“In order to guarantee the safety, I will take two groups of soldiers to ambush in the path where the evil army will pass by.”
“The front line is not safe. You should follow the main force and protect Mr. Xu.”
“Thank for your care. The strong army is pressing hard at the border. It won’t work without a risky move. If the war starts, we must beat the enemy and make them afraid of us so that we can have the chance to take a breath.”
Yan thought further. In fact, he had planned to have Xu Linghe become their miliary adviser and decided to have Xu Linghe stay there after the war.
Outside the camp, the dark army was gathered. Yan led the main force to hide in the forest while Xu Linghe led twenty thousand soldiers to head to the east and west respectively. And the rest were divided into ten small teams and arranged on the fortress where the devil army was bound to pass. The back figure had conjured spells on all the high-ranking military officers so that they could escape in an emergency.
Wuyou followed her husband to the east and the west. In order to save time, they trotted ahead. The most important thing in the war was the fast speed. Since the dark forces were always trained strictly and had the excellent physical ability, Wuyou could not catch up with them in hurrying on the journey. Soon, her little feet were worn out, but she still bore the pain. In fact, sorcery could help them faster, but the dark forces did not know the sorcery, except some spirit cultivators. Therefore, Wuyou had to follow the troops without any stop, just fearing she would delay the opportunity for war. Xu Linghe knew his little woman was tired. They would have taken a rest if it had been the common times. But today was different from the common days. They had to arrive there in advance and ambush the eastern and western routes where the devil army would pass. Though the dark forces were relatively weak, they were good at sneak-attack. A fewer number of people could conduct an agiler attack. They just spent an hour arriving at the Western Front and then found a hidden place for camping.
2.5 kilometers away was the devil army’s temporary camp. Xiao Qi was deploying the military forces. Baize’s Goddess, Yu Xuanji, hurried to the Mount Da Huang temporarily, and Nascent Soul took the military orders to help.
At the same time, something big happened in the human realm. Di Qing killed Yan Shen’s loved son by mistake. And contradictions escalated. In one morning meeting, Di Qing even dismissed Yan Shen’s position of Assistant Prime Minister. Di Qing thought he could lay aside all anxiety and rest content for good. But to his surprise, Yan Shen had left a way out. The whole Yan Family came back to the Jin city to form their own troops. It was still late for Di Qing to hear the news as Yan Family had left there and Yan’s houses were all empty. Those influential officers who had supported Yan Shen before were killed immediately. Punishing someone as a warning to others always worked to the timid people. But for those who were bold and not afraid of death, it meant nothing but instead, stored up huge problems for Di Qing as the things worsened. And the problems came true after two days that two counties allied with Yan Shen to rebel.
The whole people of the Qi Kingdom were divided into the northern part and the southern part from then on. The southern belonged to Yan Shen, while Di Qing occupied the northern part. The once entire human world was divided into two, and confrontation between the two sides was dragged out. Afraid that Yan Shen would push to the north and deprive the throne, Di Qing rushed to the Mount Da Huang for help. Unluckily, before he set out there, the army in the Mount Da Huang, as well as Nascent Soul in the Qi palace were called back to Baize instantly. As it was useless to turn to the Mount Da Huang for help, Di Qing had no way but to deploy the military force by himself. As the Commander-in-chief, Lin Xiaosa did not decline but to shoulder the responsibility. Well, Leng Cang’s unexpected move reduced the human world into the war.
It was useless for Di Qing to regret, and it was time to face the reality. In fact, he took advantage of Chidi’s power to kill his brother so that he could become the king of the Qi Kingdom. Even if Xu Linghe was resurrected, there was a huge debt of blood between them as Xu Yinchang was killed by Chidi, and Di Qing had the responsibility as well. If he had not provided the Blood Pool for Chidi, Xu Yinchang would not have died. In the south, thanks to Madam Yu’s one hundred of thousands of troops, Yan Shen occupied three cities stably, so that he could double his territory. In the north, Di Qing was sleepless to discuss with his subordinates about countermeasures. Lin Xiaosa did win several times, but Madam Yu’s soldiers were experts in cultivating spirits, so he lost the battles in the later confrontations. Only then did Leng Cang realize how terrible his murder was! He regretted having killed Yan Bao. However, even Di Qing killed Leng Cang tens of thousands of times, it was still useless. Anyway, it was Di Qing himself who gave the order and looked down upon his opponent. So it brought disasters to the decision-maker. Di Qing had to ask for help cheekily. This time, the Mount Da Huang gave Di Qing the respect and redeployed the main force from Teal Hill to the human world. So the military force in Teal Hill lessened to the half, which was great to the dark force.
Xu Linghe stood on the top of the mountain to watch out the devil army’s movement. The devil army, who should press hard into the forest, were retreated half. Did anything big happen? Xu Linghe sent a scout to check. After an hour, the scout came back and told him the information. Xu Linghe was rather shocked and did not expect that the human world was in chaos, and the people there were in deep distress, which made him rather concerned. Only when the country was peaceful and prosperous could its people live a contented life. Why did Xu Linghe not kill Di Qing before? Just because Xu Linghe was afraid the chaos in the Qi Kingdom. Di Qing was the king. If he died suddenly, the masters of all the fiefs would claim to be king themselves. And all in all, only the people suffered. Xu Linghe belonged to the immortal realm, and safeguarding the peace was his responsibility. Xu Linghe knew it well, but he did not foresee that the human world still had to suffer the chaos. But now what Xu Linghe concerned most was to settle the current issue—it was related to the little woman’s homeland. Didn’t let the devil army do what they wanted to do recklessly in Teal Hill. Xu Linghe asked the soldiers to prepare the crossbows and rub the Melting Souls Liquid on the bows. As long as the devil army were stained with the liquid, they would vanish immediately. It was prepared by Xu Linghe for the dark force, because the devil army gathered the Qi of the corpse souls.
Xiao Qi commanded the army and let the devil army and Baize’s troop attack them from both sides and pushed from east to west. Yan had hidden into the forest already and did not fear since Mr. Xu had given him the Melting Souls Liquid. The back figure could know Xu Linghe’s origin at the sight of the Liquid and felt more assured. Kunlun was a place for divine Buddha, and the back figure’s father showed the greatest respect to the place.
The suspicious places were destroyed by the devil army. Looking at fiercely burning firelight, Xu Linghe led a group of soldiers to follow up secretly. The devil army’s purpose was to find the dark force beachheads and wipe them out.
Yu Xuanji moved forward with the main force. She wanted to urge in person. Baize’s soldiers felt boosted at the news of Goddess’ coming, and each of them cheered up. With Yu Xuanji’s order, the main force entered the forest. The scout hurried to tell the news, and then Yan let the soldiers disperse so that they could attack suddenly. Then, soldiers all hid themselves in the fortresses. As long as the Baize’s army came into the siege, they could annihilate the Baize’s army completely. Yu Xuanji wore the armor and held Baize’s wand in her hand. First, Yan sent a group of dark forces to allure the Baize’s army. Eagles howled in the forest, and the prey screamed sadly. Baize’s army kicked the prey with alert. However, his legs were tied by Spirit Power. Then, little soldiers came up to stab knives to them. Next second, the Baize’s soldier turned into smoke. And then, Baize’s army’s awful screams filled the forest. Yu Xuanji rushed there at the sound, and was shocked at the scene—the scout whom she had sent out was peeled off skins and hanged on the branch. How cruel it was! Baize’s soldiers were reluctant to move on at the sight of their dead brother. However, Yu Xuanji would not withdraw. If the scout’s information was true, the dark force’s underground was hidden in the forest. If she was able to find out the entrance, she could help Xiao Qi to make achievement, and then Chidi would give more power to Xiao Qi. If a woman fell in love with a man, she would lose herself and become more sensitive. Yu Xuanji’s obsession was rather pure but deadly. For Xiao Qi, she was ready to give up everything, including the Authority. She had forgotten her initial intent. Xiao Qi was her weak point. And Xiao Qi could take advantage of her for Xiaoyao. So now, Yu Xuanji was Xiao Qi’s pawn. And under the banner of Xiaoyao, Xiao Qi extended his ambition. Yu Xuanji knew Xiao Qi’s plan well but was still willing to do everything for him. Was there still time for her when she woke up to the reality one day?
Yan asked soldiers to move up slowly and gather like a great net. Because Baize’s soldiers were not familiar with the territory, they were forced to a narrow cave by the dark forces. They realized they were cheated the moment they came into the cave. Some struggled to come out, but the dark forces blocked the cave. Flame cannonballs were shot in. Yan peeped through the crack at the charred corpses and let out a sigh. Yu Xuanji was in the trap, but she did not realize it at all. At the same time, her Baize’s soldiers were wiped out one by one. The beasts’ frightening scream rang in the desolate forest, and wilted leaves rustled under the feet. Yu Xuanji looked around warily. Yan kept an eye on the woman and thought that the woman was bold indeed who dared to invade the dark force’s place. Well, she could come here, but had little chance to return. Baize was the Teal Hill’s strong opponent. If Baize had not helped the wolf tribe in the dark, how could Chidi and the Wolf King have extinguished Teal Hill so easily? Yan gave an order, then all the dark forces in the forest rushed out in all directions. Yu Xuanji waved her wands and cleaved to the dark force. Baize’s officers protected their Goddess carefully with waving sabers and flashing spirit light. However, the dark force had been well prepared. They dispersed in all directions. And Baize’s officers exerted another attack. Yan condensed spirit power and gave a palm to the officer. Baize was the weakest tribe in the goblin realm. Even if the Baize’s officers were not at a high level. Although Yan’s Spirit Power was not so high, he was an expert in the dark force and was enough to handle Baize’s soldiers. His palm hit a number of soldiers to the ground. Baize’s officer took steps back, but seeing his Goddess remain calm, he had to brave all rebuffs. Yu Xuanji chanted the spell, and the sand flowed in clouds immediately in the forest.
