MTL - I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals-Chapter 177 Battle of Fengguo

  Chapter 177 Battle of Feng Kingdom

  A group of sect cultivators from Jinyun Valley were ambushed by immortal cultivators from the enemy country while exploring the territory of Feng Kingdom.

  The number of immortal cultivators in ambush is three times that of Jinyun Valley, and the leader is a major repairer in the late stage of foundation establishment.

  At that time, the team of dozens of monks was blocked from front to back, and almost the entire army was wiped out. None of the three foundation-building monks who led the team returned.

   Lin Lu was unfortunately in that team of monks.

  Zhao Siyao described in the letter: Lin Lu did not die on the spot, but with the high-quality escape talisman, he barely managed to break through a certain distance, and was chased and killed by the overhaul in the late stage of foundation establishment.

  After that battle, Lin Lu did not return and disappeared on the battlefield of Feng Kingdom.

  Zhang Tieshan searched after the incident and made repeated inquiries, but there was no news.

  Lu Changan secretly sighed, this kind of situation can be said to be very dangerous.

  A mid-stage Foundation Establishment with ordinary strength fell into enemy territory during the Immortal Cultivation War and was hunted down and besieged.

  If you don’t come back in a short period of time, you will basically never come back.

   From the perspective of personal relationship, Lu Changan felt sorry, and even had a trace of pity.

   After all, he is honoring the younger generation for so many years.

  But if you look at it from a neutral perspective, or from the perspective of a cultivator in Feng Kingdom, this matter is not worthy of sympathy.

  Because, Liang Guozong's sect, and even Lin Lu, belonged to the invader's side.

   "I don't know how the battle is going on in the battlefield of Feng Kingdom today?"

   Lu Changan pondered.

  He has always been more concerned about the overall situation of the world of cultivating immortals.

   Even if Zhao Siyao knows the specific information on the battlefield, it is difficult to disclose it in the letter.

  At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao said that it was inconvenient to leave the sect, and hoped that Lu Changan would go to Jinyun Valley.

  Lu Changan speculated from this that Zhao Siyao was in the "locked" state of combat readiness in the list of the second batch of sects going out, and it was not easy to leave Jinyun Valley.

   Lu Changan inevitably felt a little worried about this female cultivator who had known each other for more than a hundred years and trusted each other.

   On the battlefield of cultivating immortals, whether one can protect oneself or not depends on strength.

  The overall situation of the battlefield, as well as luck, are important factors.

  …

   On the second day after receiving the letter, Lu Changan left Wuqi Mountain in a low-key manner and flew to the west of Liang State.

   Seven or eight days later.

  Lu Changan stepped on the blue light and arrived at the gate of Jinyun Valley.

  Compared to the past, the atmosphere of Jinyun Valley is more dignified, and most of the sect monks who come and go have urgent expressions.

  After notification.

  Zhao Siyao came out from the mountain gate.

  The mountain wind blows the white dress, outlining her handsome figure.

  Zhao Siyao looks twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a phoenix hairpin, with picturesque eyebrows, glamorous and refined.

  Compared to previous years, even when he first entered Foundation Establishment, he is more elegant and calm.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are here."

   "Zhao Daoyou."

  The two looked at each other, nodded and smiled, without too many greetings and politeness.

  Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao flew side by side and entered the latter's cave.

   There is a lotus pond in the middle of the cave, which is fragrant and fragrant, and the surrounding pavilions are connected by waterside pavilions.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, please come here this time."

   Zhao Siyao dismissed the maidservant, and with a generous demeanor, took the mountain spring water flowing in the cave and brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Lu Changan.

  The two chatted for a while, and they inevitably mentioned that Lin Lu was trapped in the battlefield of Feng Kingdom, and felt very regretful.

   Judging from the existing intelligence information, Lin Lu escaped death.

  Even if they were lucky enough to survive, most of them were captured alive, and the fate would not be much better.

  …

   Afterwards, Lu Changan got straight to the point and asked about the situation on the battlefield in Feng Kingdom.

Zhao Siyao pondered: "Two years ago, Liang Guozong called on all major forces, the first group of monks, to invade Feng Kingdom from south to north and from the rear. In the early days of the war, Feng Kingdom fought on two fronts and was overwhelmed. The cultivating forces in the rear were defeated one after another. ..."

  The first part of the narration is known to monks who pay attention to the battlefield.

  Liang Guo's expedition was relatively smooth, occupying the spiritual land of the fairy city, and plundering a lot of resources.

   Some good news came one after another, encouraging.

   "However, Feng State has a vast territory and many cultivating forces, and its background is not comparable to that of Liang State. When the first batch of monks entered the territory of Feng State, they faced great resistance.

   "If the enemy's cultivating forces are defeated head-on, they will adopt a strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field. Liang Guo's army of monks is often attacked by enemies in the abdomen, ambushed, or attacked by cultivators at the rear stronghold..."

  Zhao Siyao's voice was clear and pleasant, but his tone became dignified.

   "When a small country invades a big country, there is also a gap in the foundation of the cultivating civilization."

  Lu Changan thought to himself, he was not surprised by the current situation.

  The territory of Feng State is much larger than that of Yan State and Liang State combined.

  The strategy is very deep.

  Inheriting the heritage and fighting locally, this is the advantage of the Feng Kingdom.

  In addition to the original three Nascent Soul-level forces, Feng State also has many powerful sects, and the power of the Xiuxian family far exceeds that of Liang State.

   "The Yuanying Zhenjun from Lihuo Palace, did you ever make a move?"

  Lu Changan asked.

  The two or three Nascent Souls existing in the Feng Kingdom are pinned down by Chu Tianfeng on the frontal battlefield and the Nascent Soul Zhenjun of the Chen Kingdom, so they will not be easily dispatched.

   "It is said that there was once a shot to conquer the important fairy city. But in the follow-up, due to some scruples, I did not directly intervene in the war."

   Zhao Siyao replied.

   "A certain aspect of scruples?"

  Lu Changan looked puzzled.

  The only thing that can make Yuanying Zhenjun scruples is the same level of deterrence.

  Feng Guo is facing the front, it is impossible to send a Nascent Soul for a long time to deal with Liang Guozong's invasion, only occasionally.

  Otherwise, in the early stage of Yuanying who has been alone for a long time, it is easy to be attacked by Chu Tianfeng, even if it is only a serious injury, it will have a great impact on the situation.

   "According to rumors, this matter is related to the sword cultivator who lost his body and escaped from the Nascent Soul in the "Blood Sword Valley" of Feng Kingdom."

  Zhao Siyao looked unsure, talking about gossip.

  Feng Kingdom's "Blood Sword Valley" is located in a slightly remote location. It was once sealed by Chu Tian of Yan Kingdom, and joined forces with the sect of Chen Kingdom to attack.

"The sword cultivator in Blood Sword Valley was once the number one Nascent Soul of the Feng Kingdom, and he was the strongest. Back then, when the Nascent Soul of the Yan Kingdom was killed by Chu Tianfeng in the mid-term, this person even took the initiative to fight, causing Chu Tianfeng to suffer some injuries. "

   "This sword cultivator, whose Nascent Soul escaped, is rumored to be behind the scenes, ordering the remaining forces in Blood Sword Valley. With the assistance of the other two Nascent Soul sects, Blood Sword Valley is dormant and stationed in the southern part of Feng Kingdom."

  Hearing this, Lu Changan has a general understanding of the frontline situation.

  The first cultivator of the Blood Sword Valley who escaped from the Nascent Soul is obviously not an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage.

  If this sect has the peak alchemy of the same source of cultivation, and let it live in the physical body, there is no need to head-to-head with the Yuanying Zhenjun in Lihuo Palace, just launch an attack, and it will also reduce the dimensionality of Yuanying below.

  With the behind-the-scenes command of the Yuanying Zhenjun, the coordinated response has greatly hindered Liang Guo's invasion strategy.

   Not even ruling out a possibility. The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator of Blood Sword Valley and the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Lihuo Palace have reached a certain tacit understanding, and there are certain restrictions on each other's moves.

   "On the whole, Liang Guozong's sect is still attacking the aggressor, but the situation is not so smooth."

  …

   After talking about the battlefields of neighboring countries, Zhao Siyao mentioned his own situation.

  She is the second batch of Zongmen monks who went to the expedition. As a late foundation establishment, she has higher responsibilities than Lin Lu.

   Invading neighboring countries, opportunities and risks coexist.

  From the initial stage of the expedition, the opportunities obviously outweigh the dangers.

  At least, the casualties of Liang State were much lower than those of Feng State.

  Some of the invading monks of the Liang Kingdom obtained wealth resources that were difficult to accumulate in several lifetimes.

  Including the township skills and inherited treasures of certain forces, the chance secrets of individual monks, etc.

  During the war, the number of monks who broke through the bottleneck was several percent higher than usual.

  The premise of all this is to survive.

  Zhao Siyao, like Zhang Tieshan, has the demand for high-quality combat readiness materials.

   "In order to buy Lu Daoyou's high-grade talismans and puppets, Siyao has accumulated several years of spiritual stones, including the reserve of alchemy objects."

  Zhao Siyao has a pair of clear eyes, with a look of expectation.

  The past hundreds of years.

   At key points, the talismans or puppets she obtained from Lu Changan exceeded expectations and played a good role.

   "Let's see how well prepared Zhao Daoyou is."

  Lu Changan smiled slightly.

  For Zhao Siyao, he has more trust and can display some strategic materials that exceed the standard.

  In the subsequent transaction, Zhao Siyao lamented that his spirit stones were not enough.

  The high-quality talismans produced by Lu Changan include second-tier top-level talismans, and even quasi-third-tier talismans.

  Among them, there are some talismans with special abilities, which are very rare in the market.

   As for the puppet, he took out a second-tier top-rank, and was able to hold back a late-stage foundation builder at critical moments.

   Zhao Siyao's spirit stones have been accumulated for many years, but they are still not as good as Zhang Tieshan.

  She made a difficult choice, and bought some second-tier high-grade, top-notch talismans.

  A quasi-third-order talisman, only bought one.

  Puppets in the late stage of the second order can no longer be bought.

   "This tortoise puppet is a defective product of the second-tier high-grade, and its defense power has completely reached the second-tier late stage. If you need it, Zhao Daoyou can sell it at a relatively low price."

  Lu Changan took the initiative to sell.

  Back then, when he challenged the second-tier top-rank puppet master, he once had a turtle puppet that failed, and his defensive power was nothing to say.

  The price quoted by Lu Changan was only slightly higher than the ordinary second-order middle-grade puppets.

  Zhao Siyao was very moved. He gritted his teeth to bear the pain, squeezed again, and bought this turtle puppet with some elixirs and materials.

  She sighed: "Perhaps it is a predestined relationship with the tortoise."

   "In the Qingming Secret Realm back then, the turtle puppet responded to the crisis at a critical moment and played a good role. After being repaired by Lu Daoyou, I gave it to Tan'er a few years ago."

  Lu Changan joked, "My turtle puppet is cheap and durable, but it doesn't fit Fairy Zhao's temperament."

   "There is nothing wrong with turtles, and longevity is good."

  Zhao Siyao's brows were smiling, and his clear and delicate eyes looked at Lu Changan, his eyes softened a little, and he seemed a little bit envious.

  Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking that this woman had seen something about him.

   "In addition to purchasing war supplies, Siyao has one more thing to ask for."

  Zhao Siyao stood up suddenly, with a solemn expression, and bowed gracefully.

   "Zhao Daoyou doesn't have to be like this, please speak up if you have something to say."

  Lu Changan also got up, raised his hand and lightly touched Fairy Zhao's catkin.

   "At our age, we don't have close relatives in this world. Siyao's expedition to Liang Kingdom this time, I can't guarantee that he will come back. Only Tan'er, a personal disciple, makes me worry."

   "Fellow Daoist Lu acts prudently and has insight into the world of cultivating immortals. In case I can't come back, I hope fellow Daoist Lu can take care of me and give Zhao Tan'er some pointers."

  Zhao Siyao's words meant to explain the future.

   "I agree to this matter. I believe that auspicious people have their own destiny, and they will not go to that step."

  Lu Changan nodded.

   Judging from the current battle situation, the death rate of the Zongmen's expedition is not particularly high, but the front line is short of manpower.

   But the battlefield is ruthless and unpredictable.

   Even Master Jiedan, there is no guarantee that he will come back.

   Zhao Siyao's confession of the funeral in advance is a rational behavior.

  …

  After talking about the business, the two chatted for a long time until the evening.

  In a hundred years of cultivating immortals, there are too many pasts worth remembering.

  Especially, this will probably be the last talk, and both sides cherish it very much.

  During the period, the eyes of the two met from time to time, with a gentle and tacit understanding, and occasionally smiled without saying a word.

  It's getting late.

  Zhao Siyao had no intention of seeing off the guests, so Lu Changan got up and left consciously.

  Zhao Siyao let out a soft "hmm", looked at the youthful and youthful man in white, and did not politely persuade him to stay.

  She sent Lu Changan outside the cave.

  Under the hazy night.

  Looking back, Lu Changan found that the elegant and cool figure in a white dress was staring at him, watching him silently.

  "Zhao Daoyou, I wish this trip to Fengguo will be smooth sailing and obtain alchemy resources. When it comes back, let's have a good time together."

  Lu Changan waved goodbye and left through the air.

  …

   After leaving Jinyun Valley.

  Lu Changan flew in the air, recalling the previous conversation, showing a thoughtful expression.

  Zhao Siyao is very similar to him in terms of emotions, and he is more self-sufficient.

   "That treasure talisman, I hope you will never use it on the battlefield."

  Lu Changan whispered in his heart.

  It turned out that he secretly left a treasure talisman in the warehouse where the turtle puppet sold to Zhao Siyao was inlaid with spirit stones.

  Zhao Siyao is the only monk in this world who has received this gift.
