Chapter 1513: Besiege
“I have broken through the Mystic Comprehending State and achieved Eternal State.” Liu Ming pondered for a moment before answering.
“It really is… I already guessed it yesterday. I would like to congratulate Brother Liu for cultivating the great way. Now in Thousands Demons Continent, no one is your opponent.” Hearing this, Zhao Qianying’s eyes flashed with sadness. Even though she was smiling, she looked a bit unnatural.
500 years ago, she was the princess of the Central Imperial, and he was just a family master of a small family. If they became a dual cultivation partner, he would be suspicious of aspiring to a higher.
500 years later, although she was the Demon Emperor of the Central Imperial, he was already a being that could turn the Mystic Comprehending State into ashes at the hands of a man, so she obviously didn’t care about it anymore.
The illusions she had before had shattered completely.
“So what if I’m invincible, many things are beyond my reach… By the way, as far as I know, over the past hundreds of years, Miss Zhao has kept your promise to take good care of the Qing Family. I’m deeply grateful for this. Thank you.” Liu Ming bowed.
Zhao Qianying looked a little downcast, but she gently shook her hand and said nothing.
“In addition, I also know a little bit about the current situation in this continent. The Long Family is not a treat now. I heard that Elder Yupo is currently leading an army to eliminate the remnants of the Liu Family who colluded with the Kongxiang Family. I’m afraid that things may not go smoothly… If Miss Zhao doesn’t mind, I can handle it for you.” Liu Ming pondered for a moment, then spoke again.
“You do this because you want me to keep taking care of the Qing Family, right?” Zhao Qianying said faintly to Liu Ming faintly.
“Partly for this reason… But I think this should relieve some of your pressure.” Liu Ming’s eyes moved. He hesitated for a moment and said.
Zhao Qianying couldn’t help but feel warm, and her eyes were slightly red, but then she calmed down immediately and cupped her hands toward Liu Ming,
“I’m very grateful for Brother Liu’s help.”
“You’re welcome, Miss Zhao. In that case, I’ll go now… See you and take care.” Liu Ming looked at Zhao Qianying, and a touch of emotion surged in his heart for some reason, but it was only momentarily.
After saying that, he gradually thinned and disappeared.
Zhao Qianying looked at the once again empty hall. There seemed to be a huge hole in her heart. Suddenly, she swayed and collapsed on the ground.
…
Qing State was much more prosperous than border states such as Zang State and Han State. It had countless cities and towns. Hundreds of big and small families thrived here.
Since the Liu Family and Kongxiang Family rebels attacked here, most of the Qing State’s families had already moved elsewhere. Those who didn’t have time to move have naturally become the victims of the war.
As a result, the once prosperous Qing State now became desolate.
Qing State, Yanfeng City.
Yanfeng City was located on the border of Qing State. It was the largest city within the area of tens of thousands of miles and ranked top 3 in the entire Qing State.
The Huangfu Family’s hundreds of thousands of troops were now stationed in this city.
It was not peaceful outside the city at the moment.
The shouts of killing and explosions were heard one after another.
The entire city seemed to be surrounded by 3 groups of armies from the east, west, and south. The demon soldiers were invading from 3 sides like tidal waves.
The demon armies on the east and west sides were the largest, and their costumes were black and red color respectively. The south side had the smallest number, wearing gray armor.
Light beams of demonic qi and magic weapons bombarded the city shield like a storm, causing the city protection array to flash wildly. The huge spiritual power collision sounded like countless m.u.f.fled thunder.
Over the city, dozens of huge battleships were maneuvering around, shooting thick white light beams from time to time. Although each light beam could kill many demon soldiers, it still looked futile against the army from all directions.
In a main hall in the Yanfeng City.
Huangfu Yupo stood in front of a huge wooden table with a solemn expression. On the table was a map, which seemed to be the terrain near Yanfeng City.
There were 8 Celestial State demons standing around the wooden table, probably the legion commanders.
All of them looked distressed. The shouts of killing outside the city and the loud spiritual power collision were clearly transmitted to the main hall, like a heavy punch thumping everyone’s heart.
There were 2 Mystic Comprehending State demons standing next to Huangfu Yupo. One was a white-haired old man and the other was a bald young man.
They looked much calmer than those Celestial State legion commanders.
“How long can the city protection array last?” Huangfu Yupo asked.
“It can last for at most 1 day.” A Celestial State old man replied immediately.
“Pa.s.s my order and hold on for one more day. Early tomorrow morning, the entire army will break out from the encirclement. The specific plan will be announced before tomorrow.” Huangfu Yupo ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes!” The legion commanders present agreed in unison, then they took their leaves.
“Elder Yupo, isn’t this too risky? There are now more than 800,000 enemy troops outside the city, which is almost twice as many as our army.” After the others left the hall, the Mystic Comprehending State purple-robed old man said.
Another bald young man also nodded, expressing his worry about this matter.
“I didn’t expect that the Gaohe Family would also collude with the remnants of the Liu Family… Now we are outnumbered. If we lose the city protection array, we will be doomed.” Huangfu Yupo smiled bitterly.
A few days ago, when she led her army all the way to Yanfeng City in the Qing State, she fought several fierce battles with the rebels composed of the Liu Family and the Kongxiang Family. She gained the upper hand and captured the city in one fell swoop.
However, just when the morale of the Huangfu Family army was high, the Gaohe Family sent an army to the Qing State, cutting off the Huangfu army’s retreat. The Liu and Kongxiang armies, which had originally fled in defeat, suddenly appeared with more troops, trapping the Huangfu Family army in Yanfeng City.
The combined strength of the 3 parties was as much as 800,000. There were many forces from small and medium-sized families that were originally dependent on the 2 great families.
As a result, Huangfu army fell into a pa.s.sive situation.
“Then from which direction does Elder Yupo want to break out of the encirclement?” The purple-robed old man pondered for a moment and said.
“South.” Huangfu Yupo pointed to the south direction of the city on the map without hesitation, then explained,
“There were 2 armies on the east and west sides, Gaohe and Kongxiang respectively. If we fight head-to-head with either of them, it will easily lead to a stalemate and be outflanked by armies from other directions. Although there seems to be no one in the north, it is very likely to be a trap. Only the Liu Family rebels in the south have the smallest number. We only need to dedicate a small number of troops to pretend to escape from the other 3 directions, then we seize the opportunity to break out from the south in one fell swoop. If we kill Liu Chenglong, it should be a big blow to the rebels.”
The purple-robed old man and the bald young man pondered for a moment and nodded.
“Since both of you have no objections, we will implement this plan. Tomorrow’s battle will require more effort from you 2.” Huangfu Yupo said delightedly and cupped her hands toward them.
The purple-robed old man and the bald young man gave their affirmation before leaving.
After a while, Huangfu Yupo was the only one left in the hall.
She stood for a while, then she sighed.
Although she behaved confidently and calmly in front of the 2 elders, she was not sure whether this plan would work.
But under the current situation, as she just said, she could no longer hesitate and must make an immediate decision.
Huangfu Yupo thought so, then she recollected her thoughts and walked out of the hall.
She didn’t notice a looming green figure in the air, looking at her quietly.
This green figure was naturally Liu Ming.
He made a strange gesture, then he disappeared in a white flash. The next moment, he appeared outside the north gate of Yanfeng City.
The city protection array was like nothing to him.
Since no one was attacking here, there was a rare quiet atmosphere.
“You are quite proficient in the s.p.a.ce law of Celestial Mirror now.” Luo Hu stood on Liu Ming’s shoulder at some point and said.
When Liu Ming heard this, he smiled noncommittally.
“Let’s not talk nonsense. In the past few days, my memory has recovered somewhat. Regarding the green stone slab you got in the Middle Sky Continent, maybe you can find a breakthrough from Primal Demon Lord’s Celestial Codex.” Luo Hu said slowly.
“Really? I will be grateful if Senior finds a way to activate it.” Liu Ming said in joy.
If this was true, he might be able to return to the Middle Sky Continent before ascending.
“It’s no big deal, then I’ll continue to comprehend.”
After Luo Hu said that, he returned to the spiritual beast bag on Liu Ming’s waist.
Liu Ming frowned slightly and glanced at the east and west armies. His huge Divine Thought immediately covered thousands of miles in an instant.
“They’re all here. Very Well. It saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one.” Liu Ming said faintly, then he disappeared.
Outside Yanfeng City, in a main hall of the Liu Family and Kongxiang Family’s coalition camp, 9 figures were discussing around a round table.
They were vaguely divided into 3 forces, forming a triangle.
Sitting opposite the 2 family masters was a gentle gray-robed young man. Although his cultivation level was only at the Celestial State later stage, his demeanor wasn’t weaker than the 2 family masters.
Behind the gray-robed young man were 2 Mystic Comprehending State beings. The gry-robed burly man with a beard and the thin old man.
