Chapter 269 The outbreak of war
Time flies, the past three years.
In the past, the hundreds of countries in the mortal world have been in a relatively peaceful state with the support of the Immortal Alliance, but since the invasion of Yuezhou, the war has advanced all the way to the Central Plains. The once prosperous Southeast countries have long been in chaos. All the immortal gates and temples of all sizes have been occupied by the immortals of Yuezhou. After the immortals of Shenzhou retreated, the mundane countries have also been taken over by the immortal gates of Yuezhou. In the struggle between each other, the mortal countries are also born and destroyed, and emperors and generals are replacing like lanterns.
The immortal gate of Shenzhou, which had lost the mountain gate and the ordinary people, began to compete for the power of ordinary people and the resources for cultivation in order to survive. Internal fighting between them occurred frequently. Although there was an immortal alliance, chaos was already everywhere, and the harmony and peace of the past was no longer the same.
In this situation in the southeast, the north is still in danger.
After learning that Yuezhou invaded Shenzhou, Mingzhou also began to be ready to move. Many immortal sects were entangled and began to invade on a large scale.
The north has always been the sphere of influence of the thirteen sects of the Nine Gate and Thirteen Sects, and its strength is much worse than the five major dojos in the south and the Central Plains. The pressure of the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance is doubled. Under such pressure that there is almost no hope of victory, the former stable Immortal Alliance has also begun to slowly collapse.
In the fourth year after Wang Yuanze's disappearance, Qianxiang Valley, the largest sect in northern China, gave up resistance and announced his return to the Mingzhou Immortal Alliance.
The betrayal of Qianxiang Valley is like a straw that overwhelms the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance. One after another, more than ten Shenzhou Immortal Sects announced their incoming to Mingzhou and began to attack Shenzhou with a rebellion.
The Shenzhou Immortal Alliance soon collapsed.
Only the Zhongnan Taoist temple, Laoshan Taoist temple, Longhu Taoist temple and Qingcheng Taoist temple are still struggling to support the four immortal gates, as well as more than ten large and medium-sized sects in the Central Plains and southeast and southwest boundaries.
But as one goes up and down, the pressure of fighting on both sides has overwhelmed the top leaders of these sects. The old gods who used to be fairy-like are now all tired and full of desolation and helplessness.
The Immortal World of Shenzhou started too late, and the gap in strength compared to Yuezhou and Mingzhou is too big.
Continue to resist, and see no hope of victory.
But if you give up resistance, Shenzhou will completely become the territory of Mingzhou and Yuezhou Immortal Sects. In the future, Shenzhou Immortal World will pay an extremely heavy price to get the opportunity to survive. These foreign Immortal Sects will definitely not allow Shenzhou to have the opportunity to break through the opportunity to refine the gods and return to the void, and will become the bottom of the Immortal World for generations.
"Fellow Taoists, don't be sad, sit down and talk!"
Since Wang Yuanze didn't know whether he was dead or missing, the Qinghe Sect finally ushered in the arrival of a large number of immortals again after five years of lonely silence.
However, the immortals who came this time did not come to join us with enthusiasm, but were suppressed by the Yuezhou Immortal Alliance and retreated continuously. Now they have retreated into the core area of the Central Plains.
On the lonely and cold Chaoyang Peak, weeds and thorns began to grow again in the Taoist temples.
The square in front of Taiyi Hall on the top of the mountain also grew a layer of weeds, which looked a bit desolate.
The statue of Taiyi Immortal Lord towering over the clouds sat upright in the shrine, with a peaceful expression as usual, holding a jade plate in hand and stepping on the cloud platform, looking up at the south direction, without any movement due to the ups and downs of the Qinghe Sect and the defeat of the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance.
In the concierge pavilion on the side of Taiyi Hall, dozens of great monks with a strong aura gathered together, sitting or standing, whispering, or silent. Among them, there were several of them with their eyes hanging down as if they were entering a state of meditation, and the scene showed extreme depression and dullness.
The five gods sitting upright in the row are Fuyaozi of Zhongnan Dojo, Sun Xuanqing of Laoshan Dojo, Zhang Jian of Longhu Dojo, Xiao Yuhe of Qingcheng Dojo, and An Qisheng of Qixia Dojo.
After Fu Yaozi spoke, a group of monks who stood or sat down slowly sat on their own cushions, but the atmosphere was still dull.
"Fu Yaozi, how long will it take for the Grand Secretary to come out of seclusion?" After a long silence, Guangyunzi, the true lord of Fuyun Sect, spoke first.
There was a slight sigh in the hall. Before Fu Yaozi could speak, another Zhenjun spoke, "Is it impossible to achieve something in three or five years? It can be possible in ten or twenty years. It is useless to be anxious now!"
"Yes, alas, who would have thought that Yuezhou would suddenly attack my Shenzhou? Now the Mingzhou Immortal Alliance has also put a destruction on the wrong side. When will it last?" An old true king with gray hair sighed.
When cultivating immortals, he was talking about a peaceful mind. No one wanted to use the immortal spirit energy he had accumulated with great effort to use this meaningless battle.
Not to mention that the old guys in Shenzhou have to come forward to protect the interests of Shenzhou's immortal world. Even the immortal sects in Mingzhou, Yuezhou are actually small and medium-sized forces. The real big immortal sects, those great cultivators in the divine realm who have impact on the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void, will not actually devote their energy to such meaningless battles to deplete their cultivation and Taoism.
The interests and paths of China in front of us are completely worth mentioning.
But for those small and medium-sized sects that have been living in the gap between the bottom of Yuezhou and Mingzhou, after conquering Shenzhou, they will have a broader development space and gain more cultivation resources.
Therefore, this war is actually a war for resources.
The largest temples in the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance are definitely unwilling to give up their vested interests.
And those small and medium-sized immortal sects may not think so.
In every battle, these small and medium-sized immortal sects are the first to be affected. No one cares about death and cannot be adequately supplemented even if they are alive. Therefore, since some large sects in the north began to surrender, many small and medium-sized immortal sects in the south have also begun to leave the Immortal Alliance and each has found their own space to survive.
Now the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance has actually been in name only.
The gods and true lords who are left behind can only gather together to resist foreign enemies. There are fewer and fewer immortals who can follow the Immortal Alliance Order.
"If Qingyangzi was still here, how could Shenzhou have reached such a state!" a fairy at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm muttered.
"Qingyangzi...ah~"
There was another shaking head and sighing in the main hall.
"Fellow Taoists, let's talk about the current countermeasures. The people of Yuezhou have occupied Wudang Mountain and are mobilizing troops to accumulate strength. We have no way out now. If the people of Yuezhou break through the Qinling line, there will be no chance of turning over in Shenzhou..." Fu Yaozi waved his hand with a lonely face.
"Qinghe Sect was originally a good place, but unfortunately the mountain protection formation had already collapsed. The large number of high-level spirit crystals and array plate magic weapons we prepared in the early stage were exhausted. It is too late to arrange the formation now. I think Qinghe Sect can only settle for the time being. If you can't resist, you should retreat to Longmen Mountain as soon as possible!" Zhang Jian, the Jade Dragon God, spoke.
"Retreat to Longmen Mountain means taking the initiative to give up to the south of the Qinling Mountains, and the defense line of the nine gates and thirteen sects in the north has retreated to the south of Yanshan Mountains. The pressure to retreat to the north is also very high. We must withstand the attack of the Yuezhou people on the front line of the Qinling Mountains, otherwise once we can't stand it, the news will spread, and there will be more changes in the north!" Sun Xuanqing of Laoshan Taoist temple shook his head slightly, thinking that this matter is inappropriate.
"The old dog Qianxiang Yunhe is actually trampling on the inside. If it weren't for him, how could Yanshan be broken..." A true king cursed.
"I really didn't expect that Qianxiang Valley would do such shameless things. I'm simply not a man!" In the hall, the only Jurchen Lord Ling Yuyan spoke quietly.
A few years have passed, Ling Yuyan has changed a lot. Her beauty has felt much older. The moving curves that were originally full of temptation also looked haggard and laid because of the tattered holes in the spiritual robe.
A group of great spiritual cultivators were discussing how to plan your next step, and suddenly the space swayed, accompanied by a loud bang, and everyone had a stern expression. After a moment, a spiritual cultivator teleported over and bowed with unstable breath and said, "Elders, there are immortals coming in Yuezhou again!"
"How many people have come?" Everyone stood up at this time.
"There are a total of thousands of people. The first layer of defensive formations laid out has been broken. The two gods are headed, and there are no less than thirty true masters..."
"Let's go and have a look!" Fu Yaozi waved his sleeves, and dozens of spiritual cultivators teleported away one after another, instantly, hundreds of miles away.
There is a large formation here, where more than 3,000 immortals in Shenzhou gathered here. At this time, the formation had broken several levels of defense under the fierce attack of the opponent. The spiritual energy was storming and the light and shadow of the entire formation shook violently. It felt like it could not last long, and the immortals inside were so scared that their faces turned pale.
However, with the arrival of Fu Yaozi and others, the situation quickly reversed. More than ten true lords and gods took action together. The immortals of Yuezhou could not resist and quickly began to retreat. However, just as the people of the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance breathed a sigh of relief and strengthened the formation and repaired it, a sudden space fluctuated behind them. In an instant, thousands of Yuezhou immortals appeared. The leader was actually three gods, and there were no less than fifty people in the True Lord.
That's not all. Just as Fu Yaozi and others turned to join forces to resist, the space several miles away on both sides shook almost at the same time. After the void broke open, both groups of Yuezhou immortals led by two gods appeared at the same time.
In an instant, the senior executives of the Shenzhou Immortal Alliance were almost surrounded by all the people of Yuezhou.
Fu Yaozi and others' faces changed drastically.
The other party led a god smiled and said loudly: "Fuyaozi, surrender. It is meaningless to resist like this. I think that you are all human race. It is not easy to practice Taoism for two thousand years. If you join me in the Cangwu Sect, you will be given a position as an elder of the sect in the future. There will be no missing various spiritual elixirs and elixirs..."
"Chang Pingzi, don't fart. Let me do it for the good leader of my Zhongnan Taoist temple. I will go to you, a broken sect, to be a free elder. If you have the courage, don't run away today. You and I have done something, and life and death are all based on your destiny!" Fu Yaozi pointed at the other party's nose and shouted.
Chang Pingzi shrank his neck in fear, laughed dryly and said, "Your China now has only this little strength. We have designed to catch you all in one place. The other defense locations you arranged are now surrounded..."
"Chang Pingzi, why are you talking so much nonsense with him?"
Among the group of immortals that emerged from behind Fu Yaozi and others, the leader of a burly and murderous middle-aged god interrupted Chang Pingzi's words, and his breath rolled and roared loudly:
"Originally, there was no big conflict between our Yuezhou and Shenzhou, but your Shenzhou secretly went to our southern desert to cause trouble, causing the shock of the Minghuang, hundreds of millions of mortals suffered, tens of thousands of immortals were killed and injured, and hundreds of spiritual cultivators suffered a sudden disaster. If you don't get this revenge, how can you keep the face of my Yuezhou Immortal Alliance? Today, you will either surrender or die here..."
When the middle-aged god said this, he raised his hand and threw out a gray magic weapon that looked like an animal skin. In an instant, the dark mist rolled around in the sky. A terrifying aura spread out from the thunder and lightning, covering the space of hundreds of miles.
The remaining immortals of Yuezhou also took action, and various magic weapon arrays appeared in the air, turning into spiritual lights and magic shadows to surround Fu Yaozi and others.
“Designing the formation…”
Fu Yaozi and others were confused at this time, but they could only send troops to block the water and earth. A group of gods and true lords all released their own array plates or magic weapons to form a stronger formation with the defensive formation to resist the other party's squeeze.
The two sides confronted each other, and the sky was filled with light.
Moreover, both sides were in the main confrontation this time, with more than ten gods and more than thirty true lords gathering together, and each released powerful forces to attack each other.
In an instant, the spiritual energy was surging, and the sky was stirred up by tens of thousands of miles.
At first, both sides restrained each other, especially Fu Yaozi and others, who thought that this attack in Yuezhou would continue to retreat as usual through constant squeezing.
However, after the battle lasted for a while, the immortals of Shenzhou discovered that this time, Yuezhou really wanted to capture them all in one place and end the war completely.
Faced with the life and death of the immortal world in Shenzhou, Fu Yaozi and others also exclaimed, no longer being stingy with spiritual energy and magic weapons. Several gods directly released the magic shadow of the soul, took out their natal spiritual treasures and began to fight back fiercely. The immortals of Yuezhou also seemed to plan to accomplish their achievements in one battle, and a total of nine gods also released their magic images.
