The Demon Empress went north and shook the Divine Prefecture.
The alliance army had failed in the southern expedition against the demons, and the righteous path of the Central Plains had suffered heavy losses.
The Wang Clan’s Patriarch, Sword Emperor Wang Jian, had fallen.
Among the Five Heroes of the Sword Pavilion, the Invisible Sword Xiang Ping and the Flying Sword Nie Hua were dead, while the Absolute Sword Jie Xingmang and the Intelligent Sword Shi Jing were heavily injured.
The monks from Qingliang Monastery, including the current abbot, Master Mingguan, were all annihilated.
The Taiyi Daoist Sect’s team that participated in the southern expedition, including the current sect master, “Sword Splitting Yin and Yang” Liu Yunzi, was completely annihilated.
The Misty Cloud Palace, which was struggling on its last breath, did not have many people participating in the southern expedition. However, the death of the current palace master had also greatly damaged its vitality.
More than half of the righteous path forces in Central Plains had collapsed.
As the nominal ruler of the Divine Prefecture, the Great Xia Empire, which had always been troubled by the fact that the various famous sects occupied a part of its territory and wanted to wipe out these countries within countries, should be very happy to see such a situation.
But unfortunately, the Xia Dynasty was also the one who had gathered the allied army and suffered heavy casualties.
Li Qian, Li Tai, and the other imperial experts, Wang Qiyi, Ming Peng Daoist Nun, Demon Monk Ming Fa, and the other consecrated experts had all died in this southern expedition.
What was worse was that the dragon species that the Xia Dynasty had painstakingly nurtured for many years had finally reached adulthood. In the end, they were abandoned in the Battle of South Cloud Mountain and captured by the Demon Emperor.
Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong, was also injured. At the same time, he was being hunted down by the Demon Sect’s First Seat, Yan Mingkong. He could not even protect himself now.
The entire righteous path of Central Plains seemed to be withering.
Although the Demon Cult had suffered heavy casualties, because the Demon Emperor had come all the way east to turn the tide, the Demon Cult was in a much better situation than their opponents.
Under such circumstances, it was only natural for them to counterattack.
The righteous path forces of the Central Plains could only grit their teeth and resist together.
The moment the news of the decisive battle between the Saber Emperor and the Demon Emperor spread throughout the world, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
The Outsiders would take advantage of the situation to plunder the south, and the Demonic Sect would counterattack and take revenge on the north. These were all predictable.
As long as the Demon Emperor and Saber Emperor didn’t personally participate, it would be fine.
The battle between the two of them had given the Central Plains some time to catch its breath.
Everyone wished that these two devils would perish together.
It would be even better if the Demonic Sect went to war with the Outsiders and ignored the various sects of the Central Plains.
However, everyone’s happiness didn’t even last for a day before all their good moods were shattered by Chen Luoyang.
The Demon Empress personally led the army north.
Zhe Prefecture changed owners that day and was annexed by Moyu.
There were no Class A powers here. This was the Jiangnan region controlled by the Great Xia Empire, and it was prosperous and prosperous.
Because it was connected to the Min Province of the Demonic Sect, it had always been one of the battlefields of both sides. The Great Xia Dynasty had placed a large number of troops here.
If it was just the Min Province branch of the Devil Cult attacking the north, the Grand Xia Empire would still be able to hold on.
However, the Demon Empress had arrived, and all resistance was futile.
They couldn’t count on the Xia Emperor, Li Yuanlong, and the other Xia Dynasty experts to come to their aid. The other party couldn’t even protect themselves now.
Thus, the ending of Zhe Prefecture was destined.
When the Flame Dragon that should have belonged to their own family arrived at Zhe Province with the Demon Emperor Carriage, all the Xia Dynasty experts had mixed feelings.
When the news spread, everyone was shocked.
“The Demon Empress actually went down personally?” “The day of his final battle with the tribe leader is in six days,” the tall man grinned.
This burly man was clearly the leader of the Ten Horses under King Xiuzhe of the Left, the “Demon Wolf” Ba Kun.
However, he was currently with the twelve flying generals under the tribe leader.
“I heard that he didn’t do it himself, but as long as he stands there, it’s enough to scare the locals.”
‘ Sky Wolf ” Bossal said, sitting opposite Ba Kun.
“With him like this, the Demonic Sect will advance much faster than us.” Ba Kun grinned.
In front of them, the giant eagle folded its wings and stood like a small mountain.
Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng was sitting casually on top of the giant eagle’s head.
“If this can help him build up his momentum and improve his condition, I’m looking forward to it.” He casually smiled and said, ” If you guys encounter people from the Demon Cult, there’s no need to back down. Just be at ease and fight boldly. However, as long as Chen Luoyang doesn’t personally step forward, I don’t intend to interfere. Even so, I believe that you won’t disappoint me.
The experts of the other races looked at each other and smiled.
“We have to speed up as well.” “Take down Lan Province, Ling Province, Jin Province, and Ji Province first,” said Bosal.
He frowned. ” The Demon Emperor is heading east. This means that he doesn’t intend to go straight to the capital of the Xia Dynasty in Yuzhou. Instead, he is more likely to go north along the Coast of the East Sea. ‘
Ba Kun grinned hideously, ” We’ll take Jizhou first, then go south to Luzhou and block the Demonic Sect’s path to the north. That fence-sitter Tai Sui, don’t even think about getting anything from both sides this time. I heard rumors that he rejected the recruitment of the Demonic Sect and even sent people to join the southern expedition. The Demonic Sect will definitely use him to establish their dominance. If he doesn’t want to die, he can only join us. ‘
“I’ve already ordered someone to contact them.” “I hope he understands the situation,” said Bosal.
Blade Emperor Yuwen Feng watched his subordinates discuss and did not interrupt.
He looked towards the south, slightly lost in thought.
If it were me, what would I do?
The corner of Yuwen Feng’s mouth suddenly curved into a faint smile.
He tapped the eagle’s head with his finger.
The bird let out a long cry and spread its wings again.
The Tai Sui that the alien race expert spoke of was currently quietly waiting in his own mansion.
The mansion was magnificent and majestic, almost giving people the feeling of a royal palace.
‘Tai Sui’ Hong Fu sat quietly.
Although his face was old, his snow-white hair was neatly combed. He did not look old, but rather, he looked extremely dignified.
It had been more than fifty years since he had personally founded the Taisui Gang.
He had worked hard all the way to get to where he was today.
But now, it seemed that the darkest day in the history of him and the Tai Sui Gang was finally coming.
His previous choice seemed to have been a huge mistake.
It was even a mistake that was difficult to make up for.
“It’s useless to hand over that old black deer. Back then, it was through us that the second mister of the Sword Pavilion came into contact with the old black deer. Our sect can’t escape it.”
A man in his thirties sitting below Grand Duke Hong Fu said.
“Wen Feng is right. It is too late to regret now. Since it is difficult to make up for it, we can only take it calmly.” “What’s important is the next choice,” Tai Sui said.
The Grand Elder of the Tai Sui Gang, Mao Wenfeng, asked, ‘”‘Faction Leader, have you made up your mind?”
“That’s right, we have no other choice.” ” Yes. ” Grand Duke nodded. ” You hesitated before and got your retribution. If you hesitate now, you won’t stand a chance. ‘
Mao Wenfeng was silent.
The Demon Empress had no intention of stopping in Zhe Province.
Jiang Prefecture was rich and prosperous, so it was definitely the target of the Demonic Sect.
Even if the whole of Jiangnan fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, it would not be enough to satisfy their appetite.
It was fine if he went west to Huizhou.
If they continued north and entered Lu Prefecture, then Ji Prefecture would be in sight and would be in danger.
Although the Wang Clan was one of the three great clans in the world, it was hard to imagine how long they could resist without the Sword Emperor Wang Jian.
After a long time, Mao Wenfeng said, “”Since Sect Master has made up his mind, I will send a letter to the north.”
“You still don’t want to?” Tai Sui looked at him.
“Yes, I don’t want to be associated with the alien races.” Mao Wenfeng answered frankly, ” But since you have already made up your mind, I am willing to help you achieve your wish. However, when the situation stabilizes, it will be time for me to resign. Other than you, I don’t want to serve anyone else. Perhaps I will just be a free cloud in the future.
Grand Duke looked at him for a long time, then smiled and sighed.”lt’s good to be young.”
“It’s a pity that I’m not like you. There are some things that I can’t give up.” The old man sighed.
Mao Wenfeng nodded silently and got up to order someone to deliver the letter.
But at this moment, Tai Sui’s expression suddenly changed slightly.
Mao Wenfeng was stunned at first, then his expression changed.
The two of them looked at each other, took a deep breath, and then walked out of the house.
When they came out, they saw a huge fiery red auspicious cloud in the sky above their heads, covering the sky and the sun.
On the auspicious cloud stood a palace-like existence.
The dragon’s roar reverberated in the auspicious clouds, and the dragon’s might that intimidated all living beings spread out.
Those with lower cultivations wanted to kneel down.
The air instantly became hot, and the scorching heat made it difficult for people to breathe. There was a faint feeling that their five internal organs were burning.
Tai Sui and Mao Wenfeng were expressionless as they stared at the Crimson Dragon Sovereign Carriage in the sky.
There was only one person who could make a True Dragon pull a carriage for him.
Naturally, it was Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang.
He actually arrived faster than everyone expected.
Mao Wenfeng frowned. He didn’t care about Jiang Prefecture and Lu Prefecture. He went all the way north and came straight to our Ji Prefecture!”
The Crimson Dragon Sovereign Carriage was even faster than the six flood dragons carrying the palace.
However, if he stopped and watched Jiang Prefecture and other places be taken down, it would undoubtedly take more time for him.
The longer the time, the more time the opponent would have to think and adapt.
Back then, Chen Chuhua had suggested that after Chen Luoyang took down the
Jiang Prefecture, he should ignore the Lu Prefecture’s Wang Clan and head north to the Ji Prefecture. This was to prevent alerting the enemy and causing the Grand Duke to flee upon hearing the news. Or perhaps, he might be driven into a corner and directly defect to the Outsiders.
Chen Luoyang had taken a step forward on this foundation.
Jiang Zhou didn’t care about it, leaving it to his disciples to slowly occupy and deal with.
He directly crossed Jiang Prefecture and Lu Prefecture and arrived at Ji Prefecture before everyone expected.
When that time came, he would be able to go south again.
He had come to Jizhou mainly for the Grand Duke.
He would first kill this thing and then slowly make a move.
Grand Duke had already made a prompt decision.
In the end, before the messenger could even leave, he was blocked at home by the Demon Empress.
He did not even have the chance to run.
As a local tiger, the Taisui Gang had a well-developed information network in Jizhou.
However, there was no news of the Demon Empress’s arrival this time.
Mao Wenfeng smiled bitterly.
Chen Luoyang came openly and had no intention of hiding anything.
It wasn’t that his sect members didn’t want to inform him in time, but that the other party came faster than the messenger.
Grand Duke’s expression was a bit more peaceful.
“Cult Master Chen’s presence brings light to our humble sect. I hope you don’t take offense..
