The Black Mountains wind their way for thousands of miles and border more than a dozen large states.
It was a rare "no man's land" in the Dafeng Dynasty.
There is no way, the Black Mountains are full of gullies and dense forests.
Ferocious beasts and dangerous insects are everywhere.
Even the bandits who were rampant here only dared to occupy a certain area in the mountains.
They made a living by robbing passing caravans.
However, there has been no news of bandits in Montenegro for a long time.
It seemed as if the bandits had completely disappeared from Montenegro.
This day.
Outside the Black Mountain, a large number of black troops gathered at some unknown time.
These troops, numbering as many as 700,000 to 800,000 men, blocked all the entrances and exits of the Black Mountain passes as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even a powerful dynasty like the Dafeng Dynasty would have to mobilize the elite troops of several states if it wanted to gather an army of 700,000 or 800,000 at one time.
If this is really done, then what we will face is bound to be a large-scale turmoil.
It is enough to affect the foundations of several states or even ten or twenty states in the Dafeng Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty, there have been very few such large-scale operations.
Basically, they are used to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
At the beginning of the Dafeng Dynasty, the power of the remnants of the previous dynasty was still very strong.
As the Dafeng Dynasty continued to encircle and suppress, the remnants of the previous dynasty became increasingly weaker.
Until a few decades ago, it became a third-rate force like the Red Lotus Sect that did not even have a single mages.
In the end, he was sent away by the imperial court.
Inside the dark army.
A soldier who looked quite young looked at the winding black mountain not far away and said in confusion: "What is in this black mountain? Could it be that we have discovered some amazing treasure?"
The young soldiers came from other states and were quite confused as to why an army of 700,000 to 800,000 people had gathered here.
An army of 700,000 or 800,000 is not just 700,000 or 800,000 people, there are also a lot of logistics and so on.
In other words, the number of imperial troops outside Montenegro is estimated to be close to two million.
The amount of money spent on food, drink, defecation and urination for two million people every day is an astronomical figure.
No matter how rich and powerful the Dafeng Dynasty was, it could not do this casually.
This involves the real national strength.
Unless there is really some huge benefit.
For example, the so-called shocking treasure?
"There is no earth-shattering treasure." An elderly soldier with bulging temples shook his head and said.
"What's the reason?" The young soldier looked curious, and the other soldiers next to him also looked at the older soldier.
From what he said, it seems like he knows something about the inside story?
"hey-hey."
The older soldier smiled and said, "In fact, our role is just to block the way. The ones who really took action are the masters of the Road Guarding Department. They are at least masters at the level of mages. It is said that there are also masters at the level of heavenly masters."
The older soldier lowered his voice deliberately at the end, speaking in a mysterious manner.
"Master Zhendaosi who is at the level of a Heavenly Master?"
Several soldiers around gasped.
A Taoist priest who has entered the Dao is already able to dominate a region, let alone one who has joined the Zhendao Division.
It doesn't mean that anyone who has entered the Taoist priesthood can join the Zhendao Division. The Zhendao Division is the strongest and most core institution of the Dafeng Dynasty. If one wants to join, one must pass numerous reviews.
Of course, the Heavenly Master who can join the Zhendao Division will receive full support from the Dafeng Dynasty, and his strength and means will be much stronger than other Heavenly Masters who have entered the Tao.
There are many secret methods of entering the Tao at the level of heavenly masters, as well as special spiritual weapons, etc.
When the army gathered this time, unexpectedly a Lord Zhendaosi who was at the level of Heavenly Master showed up. The meaning of this made several soldiers feel cold in their hearts.
"Why exactly?"
The young sergeant who spoke first couldn't help but speak.
"Everyone."
The older soldier looked around to make sure no one else was eavesdropping, then whispered, "Have you heard of Wumen?"
Wumen?
Several soldiers on the field were shocked.
They had naturally heard of Wumen.
The so-called Wumen is an organizational force that suddenly emerged forty years ago.
The reason why it was able to rise was because the Wu Sect mastered the means to allow ordinary martial artists to fight against those who had entered the Dao.
Of course, he is only fighting against ordinary people who have entered the Tao. He is still far from being a match for the Taoist magicians and the Taoist heavenly masters.
But even so, it is enough to drive countless martial artists crazy.
Dafeng Dynasty, the previous dynasty? The previous dynasty? Since the beginning of recorded history.
Those who enter Taoism are symbols of superiority.
A martial artist? He is just an ordinary person.
Even the weakest initiate can be easily toyed with.
And for a warrior to fight against a Taoist?
This was unprecedented.
However, the Wu Sect has only just risen to prominence.
They were suppressed by the Dafeng Dynasty.
even so.
It is still sought after by a large number of martial artists.
No matter how much the Dafeng Dynasty banned and suppressed it.
It is also unsustainable.
Just like a spark that can start a prairie fire.
"You mean, this Black Mountain is related to Wumen?"
The young sergeant looked solemn.
If that is true.
That's understandable.
In fact, it is a means for martial artists to fight against ordinary people who have entered the Tao.
This is a good thing for the Dafeng Dynasty.
But it threatens the interests of those who enter the path.
Many Taoists in the Dafeng Dynasty were in high positions, so naturally they did not want to see such a thing happen.
Warriors and those who seek Taoism are two naturally opposing camps.
In addition, if only the Taoists opposed it, it would not affect the real decision of the Dafeng Dynasty.
The reason why the Dafeng Dynasty suppressed the martial arts school with all its might was because of this method of training martial artists to fight against those who entered the Taoist sect.
Even if there is, it can only be controlled by the court.
Such means that can shake the foundation of the country must never be allowed to be used by outsiders.
"right."
The older sergeant nodded.
His brother-in-law was a deputy general and knew a lot of inside information.
"Wu Men"
Several soldiers were fascinated.
They are also warriors, so naturally they are looking forward to the means to fight against those who have entered the Tao.
At the same time, he also admires Wu Men very much.
It breaks the myth that those who enter the Tao are invincible.
Moreover, they were able to persist for so long under the suppression of the imperial court, and finally attracted nearly one million troops to encircle and suppress them.
It even forced the Zhendao Division to send out an adult at the level of a Heavenly Master.
One can imagine how powerful the Wu Clan is.
Behind the army.
Inside a large camp.
Twenty-three figures gathered together.
These twenty-three figures had faint wisps of spiritual power flowing through them, forming an invisible cage of heaven and earth outside the entire camp.
The prison of heaven and earth at the level of Heavenly Master.
The twenty-three figures were all powerful beings at the level of Heavenly Masters.
This siege of Montenegro was carried out even by the middle and high-level officers in the army.
I only know that perhaps a master at the level of a Heavenly Master will show up.
But it is impossible to know that there are twenty-three Taoist masters who appeared.
Twenty-three Heavenly Masters! Even for the Dafeng Dynasty, sending out so many powerful people at once was considered risky.
"Black Mountain." Among the twenty-three Heavenly Masters, the one with the most powerful aura was a middle-aged man. He was the Chief of the Zhendao Division, a big shot in the Dafeng Dynasty second only to the emperor.
This time, nearly one million troops and so many Taoist priests were dispatched.
It was all his decision.
As the chief of the Zhendao Division, he is well aware of all the intelligence in the world.
The middle-aged man's action this time was not for Wumen at all.
"Black Wind Village"
The chief of the Zhendao Division thought about the information he had learned.
His expression was slightly heavy.
The origin of the Black Wind Village within the Black Mountain is so great that it is simply unbelievable.
Not only is it the origin of Wumen, but nine of the ten richest chambers of commerce in the world today are suspected to be related to Black Wind Village.
In addition, many important officials in the imperial court have had unclear relationships with Black Wind Village in recent decades.
Of course, these important officials may not know about Black Wind Village at all, but after investigation by the Zhendao Division, it was found that the source of the people supporting it behind the scenes is in Black Mountain.
Finally, among the ninety-nine states in the world, at least thirty states have been infiltrated by some mysterious force, and the source is also from the Black Wind Village in Black Mountain.
Master the means that can allow martial artists to fight against ordinary practitioners.
At the same time, possessing immeasurable wealth.
It also had an immeasurable influence on many ministers and important officials in the court.
And the potential power to control more than thirty states.
These four aspects.
Any one of these aspects would cause the court to be extremely vigilant, and if they were not careful, unprecedented chaos would occur.
What's more, all four aspects are coming together? The head of the Zhendao Division has a feeling that as long as the person in the Black Wind Village is willing, he can easily shake the foundation of the Dafeng Dynasty.
That's exactly why.
Despite the fierce opposition from the court officials to his use of so many troops, the Chief of Zhendao Division ignored the opposition and decided to completely destroy Black Wind Village.
"Everyone, you should all know what you need to do next."
"Inside Black Mountain, the Black Wind Village must not be allowed to remain, otherwise our Dafeng will be in danger."
The chief of the Zhendao Division looked at the other twenty-two Taoist priests.
These twenty-two Taoist priests were trained by the Dafeng Dynasty and obeyed his orders completely.
It is also one of the most profound forces of the Dafeng Dynasty.
In order to completely deal with Heifengzhai and eliminate the hidden dangers for the Dafeng Dynasty.
The chief of the Zhendao Division has already decided to pay any price.
"clear."
"Master, rest assured, we are paid by the emperor, so we are naturally loyal to him."
"Yes, this time it will definitely clear the obstacles for Dafeng to marry."
One by one, the Taoist priests spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the director of the Zhendao Division nodded slightly.
This is the benefit of training your own celestial master.
Completely loyal to Dafeng.
If it were placed on a Taoist priest in one of the ninety-eight states outside.
I don't know what will happen.
At most, you will obey his orders on the surface.
But it is definitely not possible to try hard in secret.
"However, if possible, we should try to capture the leader of Black Wind Village alive."
The chief of the Zhendao Division spoke.
The leader of Black Wind Village has acquired power that threatens the Dafeng Dynasty.
It's definitely best to capture him alive.
This can also minimize the impact.
The Dafeng Dynasty can also take over the other party's forces through the leader of the Black Wind Village.
If the leader of Black Wind Village died, even if the forces under his command could not be unified, the chaos would inevitably have a significant impact on the Dafeng Dynasty.
The chief of the Zhendao Division wants to capture the leader of the Black Wind Village alive.
In addition to the above reasons.
I still want to see this opponent whom I have never met in person.
For decades, the chief of the Zhendao Division and the chief of the Black Wind Village have been secretly fighting each other.
The former controls the most powerful force in the Dafeng Dynasty, but he is repeatedly defeated when facing the leader of the Black Wind Village.
Being led by the other party.
The head of the Zhendao Division was very curious. What kind of person was the leader of the Black Wind Village? How could he achieve such a level under the overwhelming power of the Dafeng Dynasty?
"Let's go."
"Now."
The chief of the Zhendao Division stood up and walked out of the camp.
The other twenty-two Taoist priests also followed him out.
The twenty-three Taoist priests working together can basically conquer all places except the capital.
Even with millions of troops, they could not do anything to the twenty-three Taoist masters who joined forces. The latter could kill them when they wanted and take them away when they wanted.
A Taoist priest can only fight against an army of a thousand people.
It does not mean that ten Taoist priests are equivalent to an army of ten thousand people.
Every additional Heavenly Master who enters the Tao will bring about a qualitative change in strength.
What's more, these twenty-three heavenly masters cooperate with each other extremely well.
This is also the confidence of the Chief of Zhendao Division in destroying Black Wind Village.
"Master of Black Wind Village, you should never, ever leave that loophole."
The chief of the Zhendao Division had a deep gaze.
Originally, even with the means of the Zhendao Division.
It is also impossible to investigate and investigate all the things that originated from the Black Wind Village within the Black Mountain.
Until they discovered the traces left inadvertently by the leader of Black Wind Village.
After that, after much confirmation and verification with other intelligence, the chief of the Zhendao Division concluded that the Black Wind Village within the Black Mountain was the biggest threat to the Dafeng Dynasty in recent decades.
It is probably the biggest threat since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty.
whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The twenty-three Taoist priests took advantage of the moonlight and quietly sneaked into the Black Mountain and headed towards the Black Wind Village.
Not long.
The Black Wind Village was in sight from afar.
"That's it."
The chief of the Zhendao Division watched from afar.
Immediately, he and the twenty-two Taoist priests quickly approached.
at the same time.
Deep in the Black Wind Village.
Inside a quiet room.
A young man sat cross-legged.
The young man had black hair and a calm expression, just like a majestic mountain.
If you are not the closest to him, you would not know that this young man is already an 88-year-old "old man".
In this world, even if one is as strong as a Taoist priest, he can only live for a hundred years at most.
When people reach their eighties or nineties, their bodies begin to decay and many signs of aging are inevitable.
It is because of Lin Yuan's perfect control over his own qi and blood that he can maintain such eternal youth.
Of course, it only keeps you young forever, but it won't have any effect on your actual lifespan.
[Eighty-eight years old. The traces you left behind deliberately several years ago finally attracted the action of the head of the Zhendao Division. He led a group of the most elite Taoist priests of the Dafeng Dynasty and went deep into the Black Mountain.]
Lines of text kept appearing and disappearing in my sight.
As early as ten years ago, Lin Yuan's strength had reached the pinnacle, the true pinnacle, the pinnacle of this world, and could not go any further.
It was also from that time that Lin Yuan began to plan to weaken the power of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Lin Yuan planned to leave traces intentionally to attract the attention of the chief of Zhendao Division.
In this way, the most elite group of Taoist priests of the Dafeng Dynasty were completely retained in Black Mountain.
Only in this way will we be able to deal with the Emperor of Dafeng more smoothly in the near future.
[At the age of eighty-nine, you commanded a large army and many initiates to besiege the capital of Dafeng]
[The entire Dafeng State used its strength to resist. At this time, you sneaked into the palace silently and finally saw the Dafeng Emperor sitting on the throne, looking terrified.]
[You took direct action and killed the Emperor of Dafeng]
