Chapter 143 Dazhao finally came to help, the wife of the Dragon Slayer? Master Ruan, you can't take that person away!
Aquarius State, the capital city of 'Aquarius'!
Placed in the complex territory of a state, it is like an indestructible lion, standing in this vast state, and never falls despite wind and rain.

Decades ago,

The Dragon Court of the Jing River in the northwest wilderness poured the water of the West Sea and displayed a great magical power that was almost like "magic", flooding the city, but failed to break it.

As time passed, the battle between humans and demons became severe again during this period.

One state, seven prefectures and forty-nine cities.

From the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall to the south, the three fronts of Demon-Suppressing Prefecture, Shunan Prefecture, and Wutong Prefecture are connected together, and half of the country has been occupied.

The former capital city 'Baoping' has become the gateway and battlefield at the forefront of the war between demons and Dazhao to divide the east and west.

With continuous fighting and confrontation, the war situation became stalemate.

but,
This day.

Night falls.

A mansion with green tiles and colored glaze, and a well-arranged layout, was brightly lit.

The tall mahogany door was carved with dragon and phoenix patterns that looked like jade but were not, yet emitted a faint glow of fireflies, setting off a golden plaque with the word "Bao Ping" hanging on the lintel that was clearly visible within the area.

Inside the mansion.

The lights are bright, as bright as day.

The candlelight flickered in the study.

Two big men, who could shake the situation in an entire state with just a stomp of their feet, gathered together.

The governor of the state, Lan Jingyi, sat at the desk, holding the pen for a long time without moving. Finally, a hint of joy appeared on his worried face.

At his side.

He was a middle-aged man wearing iron general armor, with long hair and a beard, and looked very heroic, but his breath was a little weak and he looked injured.

His name is Ye Huai.

He is a contemporary Aquarius general.

Or
The surname 'Ye'.

In the territory of Aquarius State, in the past hundred years, it has been more well-known than the surname of "State Lord".

Sixty years ago, General Ye Cang called on all prefectures to patrol and hunt demons, to defend the prefectures to the death, and to prevent the Dragon King of the Jinghe Dragon Court from using his technique of spreading rain and turning lakes into wetlands outside the prefectures.

The originally "undefensible" city was defended with great force, and the bloodshed on the city walls shocked the world for a time.

Later, his legitimate son, Ye Huai, who had visited the Martial Temple once every four years in the "Wutong Palace Test", inherited his legacy and became a fifth-rank Aquarius Palace Master.

As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son.

Having lost the support of his father, Ye Huai did not stop there. He studied martial arts for decades, working diligently, and making progress in both his official position and his attainments in martial arts.

He finally knocked on the gate of heaven ten years ago, and his official position was promoted to the rank of 'Aquarius General'!
He is on equal footing with Lan Jingyi, the state lord from the Duke's Mansion of Shenjing, who succeeded the first Aquarius state lord 'Pei Nanbei'.

Not long ago, when demons were causing chaos, Lan Jingyi and Ye Huai took action and fought against the Guhua Demon King of Jinghe Dragon Court and the Jinpeng Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, but they did not gain the upper hand.

In addition, a demon named "Lord of the Great Snow Mountain" emerged, who was determined to kill his way up Yunluan Mountain.

Even though real people joined forces to besiege her, they were unable to capture her, resulting in the fall of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, located in the 'Demon-Suppressing Great Wall', as well as Shunan and Wutong.

at this time,

The two top Aquarius giants had two letters in front of them.

One letter was from Dazhao.

Duke of Liang, Lan Jingyu, was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Expedition, and his deputy was Lu Xingshuang, who was from the lineage of Duke Lu and ranked fourth among the True Persons.

I heard,

The former state lord 'Pei Nanbei', who broke through the barriers a few years ago, also went with the army after consolidating his foundation. The 'Master of the Gu Family' in Shenjing also came because he was worried about the inheritance passed down by his cousin.

Among these people, there is Lu Xingshuang, who was born in the lineage of Duke Lu, was once the legal wife of the "Dragon Slaying Marquis", but later divorced him due to differences in ideas, but gave birth to a son.

None of them are the first level of real people.

Enough to fight against the Dragon King of Jinghe Dragon Court and the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance!

The army set out, Zhenren and Yuandan arrived first, the news had spread, and they would arrive soon, which made Lan Jingyi, who was under heavy pressure and gloomy all day, breathe a sigh of relief:
"Except for those in the central government, they need to suppress the national destiny and the capital, so they can't come out easily."

"The rest are either to defend the Jiangnan area or to station troops all year round to monitor and guard against the rebellion of the God Blood."

"Unfortunately, in the past few years, Jiangnan and Shenxue have not been at peace. In addition, the connection between 'Dongtian' and Dazhao has become increasingly deep in recent decades, resulting in the experts in the court being unable to spare any time to deal with the turmoil of demons in the northwest wilderness."

"But this time, my brother is free. Although he has a hot temper, his martial arts skills are truly top-notch. Even the Dragon King of Jinghe and the Leader of Ten Thousand Monsters are no problem for him!"

"In addition, there is the Gu family head who once followed the Great Demon Lord and was ranked as one of the 'great families', and the Peizhou Lord..."

"Aquarius State, the situation will definitely be settled!"

"Even if 'Lord of the Great Snow Mountain' Song Fanjing is so powerful that he can suppress Qin Changfeng of Xuanbing Cave, Gu Fengchun of the Gu Family, and Tan Taiye of Fumo Temple, the three great masters of Baopingzhou in the past hundred years, so what?"

"She is not capable of defeating many long-established giants who are ready to conquer the world!"

Ye Huai looked at Lan Jingyi's expression and nodded in approval. At the same time, he looked at another letter in silence:
"What the governor said is not wrong, but..."

"What do you think about this?"

On the letter.

It is a letter from 'Xuanbing Cave' and 'Baoping Gu Family'.

And those who believe.
They are Qin Wubai and the ancestor of the Gu family.

These two were buried in the 'Palace of Immortal Nirvana' witnessed by the current state lord sixty years ago.

And now, he actually walked out of it alive again!

In response to this, Lan Jingyi looked serious, raised his letter, and sighed:

"They said that underneath the abyss was a different dimension similar to the 'cave heaven', where the flow of time was different from that of the outside world. In addition, due to the pollution of the environment, their foundation was damaged, and it was not until today that they broke it open."

"But I didn't expect that the outside world seemed like a lifetime ago. Sixty years have passed."

"I don't know how Song Chai Xin had such means back then."

"I was a step too slow back then and was unable to help. I could only watch helplessly as the three real people were trapped. Sigh."

"Speaking of this, I feel guilty. Now that they have come out of this, it makes up for my worries."

"but."

Holding the corner of the letter, the Aquarius Lord Lan Jingyi's eyes turned serious:
"This Song Fanjing is really lawless!"

"To be honest, whether Song Chai Xin was falsely accused back then, and whether this boy has any connection with the Xuanlong Bai clan of the Divine Blood Cult, this matter is still under discussion."

"But this woman actually took refuge in the northwest wilderness and abandoned 'Yunluan Mountain'. Even though she did not kill a single person when she entered Aquarius State, her actions and stance are all hostile to our Dazhao."

"If she hadn't severely injured the three great masters who blocked her way to Yunluan, you and I wouldn't have been so weak and alone against the demon coalition. We had no choice but to rely on the luck of the state government to temporarily split off such a large state and confront them for the sake of survival."

"It can be said"

"She alone changed the war situation in the entire Aquarius State."

"And this time, he committed another heinous crime in Wutong Prefecture, allowing the demons of the Xuanqing Demon Vein to cause chaos and killing the people of Wutong Prefecture, leaving corpses all over the ground!"

“If there weren’t three real people coming out from Tianyuan and leading all the Yuandan to play against them, it would probably be even worse.”

"However, even if they can bring together an 'alliance' and invade Wutong Mansion, and drive out the Xuanqing Demon King, all the demons in the city will pay with blood."

"But without his cultivation level restored, how can he be a match for Song Fanjing who is at his peak?"

“So the three of them joined forces and fought a great battle. The Dragon Slayer Marquis was shed blood in Wutong Mansion, and his body was not found. The Black Weapon Cave Master Qin Wubai and the Gu Family Patriarch used all their skills to save their lives and hurriedly fled back to their sect and clan.”

"She finally showed her fangs."

The joy on Lan Jingyi's face faded, and became extremely heavy:
"Once the Dazhao reinforcements arrive and the demons are driven back, we must keep this 'Song Fanjing'. Otherwise, it will become a serious problem in the future!"

"Lu Xingshuang, who is in the reinforcements this time, is the legitimate daughter of Duke Lu. She is at the level of a True Person and was once the wife of Dragon Slayer Marquis Jiang Xiao. She gave birth to his son Jiang Xian."

"I heard that if Jiang Xiao hadn't been such a playboy, the two wouldn't have parted ways."

"Sixty years ago, 'Dragon Slayer Prince' Jiang Xian died in the Demon Blood Rebellion in Wutong Mansion. Three months later, Lu Xingshuang, who was far away in Shenjing, went berserk and rushed all the way here. At that time, she was only at the peak of Yuandan Realm."

"After collecting the bodies of her own offspring and witnessing the disappearance of her former husband, this woman's hair turned white overnight. Not long after returning, she knocked on the gate of heaven. It is said that she cultivated the 'Path of Absolute Lovelessness', which is second only to the 'Eight Arts' in the rumors back then, and her combat power is extraordinary."

"If she knew that her missing husband had returned but died tragically at the hands of Song Fanjing, how could she let it go?"

Listen to the state master's words.

Ye Huai frowned and said nothing.

He instinctively felt that Song Fanjing was not such a person, just like Song Chaixin back then.

It is said that he colluded with the Divine Blood Cult, but he has achieved the position of the Lord of Wutong Mansion, a high position of power and a bright future. Is it necessary for him to kill the 'Dragon-Slaying Prince' and make himself enemies of almost the whole world?
Isn't this the fourth step when you four went to Black Mountain, wanting to take the 'Demon Hunting Qi' from him?

If it weren't for Song Chaixin, would Song Fanjing be forced into a desperate situation and join the Demonic Ancestral Tribe wholeheartedly for revenge, and come back to fight again today, decades later?

What a confusing account!

Who is right? Who is wrong?
It's simply impossible to sort it out.

And just one night later.

The demons attacked again. Ye Huai, exhausted, hurriedly led his troops to fight, but before he could see the demon king who came from the "Demon Suppression Mansion"
In the distance, a small and brave cavalry force with blazing flames came charging towards them with flags raised!
He was riding a 'blazing dragon colt' that was bred from a spirit beast, and he was holding a lance that was over ten feet long and had the word 'blue' written on it.

But there are less than a hundred people.

But they fought with the spirit of "thousands of troops"!
According to legend,

Under the command of Duke Lan Jingyu of Liang, there is a method of breeding a kind of creature called 'Blazing Dragon Colt', which can step on flames and travel one state a day. Its speed is even more outrageous than that of Yuandan!
Seeing this, Ye Huai's eyes widened. He already knew the origin of this powerful cavalry.

Just didn't expect
Surprisingly, it came so quickly!
In the military,
A cold-blooded woman with hair as white as snow, a whisk as a sword, dressed as a Taoist nun, started a fight with a demon king from the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance. After a while, blood was scattered in the sky.
A demon king bled to death instantly!

Seeing this, Ye Huai's pupils shrank. He felt that even though they were all four steps, there was still a gap. At least, there was a huge gap between himself, who was at the first level, and this woman, who was also at the first level.

At this moment,
"Yes, brother. They are the followers of my brother, Duke of Liang, Lan Jingyu!"

"Hahaha! Let's see if those demons dare to be so rampant now. If they dare to act presumptuously again, I will show them what 'arrogant and powerful army' means. I will take their demon heads and build a Jingguan for them!"

The state lord Lan Jingyi took up his sword and climbed up the city wall. He was very excited and looked very happy.

Ye Huai on the side pointed at the woman and asked:
"That is."

Lan Jingyi looked at the woman in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a whisk as a sword, with a dull but cool and beautiful face, and then replied:
"Oh?"

"She is the wife of the Dragon Slayer Marquis who was 'divorced' decades ago. She is now known as Lu Xingshuang, one of the 'Lu Family's Twin Pride's' in the 'Lu Guogong Mansion' in Shenjing."

"Speaking of which, the Lu family is also interesting. A hundred years ago, they gave birth to Lu Xingshuang, and sixty years ago they gave birth to Lu Miaomiao. Now they have both reached the fourth step, and they are both girls. They also both asked their sons-in-law to enter the family. It can be said that the yin is stronger than the yang."

"What's even more outrageous is that these sons-in-law who marry into the family all have promising futures."

"Before there was the Dragon Slayer Jiang Xiao, and now there's another Jiang Yi."

"Old Duke Lu was known for his 'flawless life' in the past, and was extremely loyal to the Great Demon Lord. Now that his descendants have accumulated merits, they are considered to be the 'great family' with the most stable foundation in the entire Shenjing. They are also enjoying a happy old age!"

Seeing that the situation was improving and Aquarius State was about to 'expel the demons and restore the entire state', Lan Jingyi also knew everything about it and responded to all of Ye Huai's words.

Ye Huai's heart trembled:
"So, she is 'Lu Xingshuang'."

With the action of 'killing the general and seizing the flag', the demon king was killed, and the rest of the situation was no longer a problem.

At this time, Lu Xingshuang, holding a letter, had a cold look on her face. She climbed up the city wall, found the two people in charge of Aquarius State, and went straight to the point and asked:

"Someone sent me a letter."

"Have all the people who 'disappeared' in Montenegro sixty years ago returned?"

"My two state lords, the general is well-informed. I wonder if there is any news about Dragon Slayer Jiang Xiao?"

Not long ago.

The ancestral land of the Xuanlong Bai family.

Bai Qiuyi, who was summoned by the 'Xuanlong Clan Leader', was silent for a long time as he looked at the clan leader who was wearing a fox fur coat and had his back to him.

Said this sentence:

"My name is Bai Qiuyi."

"I"

"already dead."

Say this.

The back shook slightly.

then
When he turns his head away,
It was a very young and handsome face.

Seeing this extremely familiar face, Bai Qiuyi searched deep in his mind for memories and was not surprised at all.

When the branch in Black Mountain City was dormant, he became a 'Nirvana Corpse' and did not choose to walk together with the other upright Yuandan.

Instead, he checked the files of Xuanlong Bai Clan and found that————

During these sixty years, the patriarch has changed, or rather, there are now two patriarchs.

one of them.

He was his former good disciple.

"really."

"You are Jiang Yi."

"you"

pat!

He didn't finish his sentence.

Jiang Yi, with a calm expression, waved his hand and crushed the head directly, causing Bai Qiuyi, who was looking "astonished", to completely turn into a mummy and disappear.

The young man in fox fur was left with a sneer.
"'Nirvana Corpse'?"

"Being smart."

"If it were the old ghost back then, he would never have taken the risky move."

"Your level of cultivation is far from that of the master of your body."

"But, Aquarius State."

"You guys, go and cover up the news of the 'Nirvana Corpse' and say that the group of people back then 'resurrected from the dead'. Then tell Lu Xingshuang, but don't use the name of Lu Miaomiao's husband, understand?"

The two black-clad figures behind Jiang Yi nodded and obeyed.

Black Mountain City.

Chen Zhao hurriedly stopped a group of people with sweat on his forehead:

"Master Ruan Jian, listen to me, you must not take this person away, him!"

The person Chen Zhao pointed at was a young man in a black robe with a stern look and an evil look on his face. He said nothing but looked at him coldly, with the corner of his lips slightly raised:

"Chen Zhao, have you forgotten who helped you back then?"

"How dare you! Back off!"

After the words fell, Chen Zhao, who was holding a cane, was furious:

"Why would you question my behavior? You are just..."

Not finished yet,

He was interrupted by Ruan Xiuxiu, who had bright eyes and white teeth, was dressed in yellow and had a sword bell ringing at her waist:

"Chen Zhao, you don't need to tell me who I want to take with me."

"The same goes for the government in Dazhao."

Behind her followed Ning Xiu, the master of Yunluan Taoist Gym, and his disciple Pei Luye.

Everyone remained silent.

Under the pressure like a tsunami, Chen Zhao wanted to speak out, but was afraid that if he did so rashly, Ji Xia would suffer. He was sweating in anxiety.
Da da da!
His second son, the head of the military department, Chen Jing, who was originally ordered by him to go to Wutong Mansion for assistance, actually returned to the garrison wearing armor!

As soon as I saw the two parties confronting each other.

Chen Jing ran to Chen Zhao and whispered in his ear:
"Father!"

"Mr. Ji is back!"

"and"

in an instant,
After listening to his son's words.

Chen Zhao, who was originally anxious and restless.
My heart suddenly calmed down, and then I looked towards the door.
Someone came slowly and leisurely:
"Ruan Jianzhu,"

"You can't take that person away."
