"Why? They would do this?"
The old man looked confused.
Is the Blood Soul Saint Sect planning to backstab the human race and serve as a dog for the demon race? But why is it doing this?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fighting in East Xinjiang is indeed extremely fierce, and it seems that the demon clan has the advantage. However, as soon as the heavenly soldiers from the other four regions arrive, the demon clan will be defeated!
By that time, the demon clan might find it difficult to protect themselves, and the Blood Soul Holy Sect's plot is to dig their own grave. Although the old man did not participate in that shocking "War to Punish Evil", the reputation of the Blood Soul Holy Sect, a force that survived by stabbing its allies in the back, is already treading on thin ice.
If they do this again, they won't live long.
"Well, their motives are indeed worth exploring, aren't they?"
Gu Heng smiled playfully.
He also wanted to know why this happened. After all, this was related to the mission and the "Xuantian Taboo". Since the system wanted him to dig out the "deepest hidden secret of the Xuantian Realm", then of course he had to do it. He liked secrets, especially big secrets like this.
The old man was stunned: "Sir, do you already know?"
"That's not the case. I'll have to rely on you to check it out."
Gu Heng doesn't know anything now, but he has "old spies" like Gu Laotou, so he has to ask them for help with this kind of thing. After all, old people are experienced and will definitely be confident in what they do.
Although he could try to find out the news himself, there was no need for him to travel all the way to the Western Regions, right?
Why would the Holy Blood Soul Sect cooperate with the demon race and backstab humans...is it because they can get unimaginable benefits by cooperating with the demon race, or is there some bigger mastermind behind all this?
The problem is complicated.
"Okay, I understand!"
The old man agreed without hesitation.
Master Gu gave him a second test. It seemed that he knew everything, but he just wanted to test the skills and abilities of these old guys to see if they were worth his continued training.
In that case, it must be performed well!
"What reward do you want?"
Gu Heng asked again.
Since he wanted people to do the work, he had to pay them. No matter how willing the old man seemed, he was helping him after all, so he wouldn't be stingy with that little bit of money.
"Why would I ask for anything in return? Just tell me what you want, Master Gu! The few good techniques I got last time were enough to make me risk my life for you!"
The old man immediately patted his chest.
But Gu Heng knew clearly that he had to give it no matter what and could not owe anything in such a place.
So after some shoving and pushing, the old man finally accepted a few scrap weapons from his backyard as "rewards", but Gu Heng just discovered that there were suddenly a lot fewer scrap weapons in his backyard that he had forged before...
Could it be that some thief came and stole it and sold it?
Actually, it doesn't matter if it's stolen.
There was no way those weapons could be sold, he had tried.
This was all he had to say. There was nothing more to talk about. In order to quickly complete Master Gu's test, he didn't plan to waste time and set off without stopping. He would first go to the East Frontier Alliance to find out the bottom of the matter, and then gather those old friends together to tell them that Master Gu had new arrangements.
Then, we can go to the Western Regions together.
…
Zhongzhou, the capital of Yingshui Kingdom.
The King of Yingshui sat on the throne in the palace, and the ministers below were all filled with anger.
There is no other reason.
It was just because a battle report had just arrived that the Yanluo Kingdom had brazenly attacked their Yingshui Kingdom, and was making rapid progress, as if they had seized an opportunity when the enemy was caught off guard, and had captured four or five cities in succession.
The news reached the palace.
The civil and military officials were so angry that their faces turned red, but at the same time, they also saw an opportunity!
Opportunity for promotion!"Lord, the Yanluo Nation was crippled by us three hundred years ago, but now they actually dare to attack us. They really don't know their own limitations!"
"I beg the Lord to let me lead the troops there. In less than half a day, I can directly push back to the capital of Yanluo!"
"Get out of here! Lord, please let me lead the troops!"
"I..."
At the same time, more than a dozen important ministers and generals knelt in the hall, begging the Lord of Yingshui Kingdom to give them a chance to make merit and lead the troops to destroy the ungrateful Yanluo Kingdom's war army!
Isn't the Yanluo Kingdom a piece of fat meat that is delivered to your doorstep?
You overestimate your own abilities and think you are awesome just by catching your enemies by surprise and capturing a few cities?
From all aspects, Yingshui Kingdom is able to defeat Yanluo Kingdom. The combat troops, high-level combat power, the power of luck... Yanluo Kingdom has nothing to show for it!
Although the spies reported that the invading army consisted of only 10,000 men, it seemed that part of the main force was still on the border and had not set out yet.
Isn't it courting death for a lone army of tens of thousands to advance deep into the enemy's territory?
Even if the Lord of Yanluo, Mo Qian, came in person, he couldn't cause any waves!
Now is the time to grab the meat. Whoever grabs it first will get the first merit and the heavenly merit!
Looking at the ministers and generals below, each of them was volunteering to fight, with bold words on their lips, and their blood was boiling.
But the Lord of Shadow Water said nothing.
How could he not know what these guys were planning? But unfortunately, they were destined not to get the credit because he had already decided who would go.
"Ahem!"
The King of Shadow Water coughed a few times, and then a young man wearing silver armor, a silver helmet, and a sharp edge walked over quickly.
Then he half-knelt before the king and said respectfully, "Father."
Upon seeing this man, the ministers and generals around him, who had been eager to seize the opportunity to fight, now simply retreated in shame.
Damn, this king is so dishonest!
Instead of giving them meritorious service, you want Prince Yingshui to gain achievements, right?
Of course, these complaints can only be vented in my heart.
The Yingshui Kingdom has harsh policies and cruel laws, and they don't want to lose their heads suddenly.
"My son, this time the Yanluo nation is ignorant of the depths of heaven and earth and dares to invade our borders. You will lead the army of 100,000 shadow navy soldiers to crush the invading enemy immediately!"
The Lord of Shadow Water said seriously.
Although, he didn't know what medicine Mo Qian, the leader of Yanluo Kingdom, had taken that made him dare to fight them.
But, once you're here, don't think about leaving.
It doesn't matter even if Lord Yanluo leads the army in person, Lord Yingshui can still lead the army in person!
He would take action whenever Mo Qian showed up.
"Your son obeys your order!"
Prince Yingshui set off immediately. In just half a day, an army of one hundred thousand was ready and set off in a mighty manner.
One hundred thousand troops against ten thousand pathfinders.
Prince Yingshui knew that this time the advantage was definitely in my hands!
…
Two days later.
In the Shadow Water Palace, a spy came to report.
The 100,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out, and none of the dozen or so brave generals in the Spirit Severing stage survived. Prince Yingshui himself was beheaded, and his head was hung on the flag of the Yanluo Army.
Hear the news.
There was silence inside the Shadow Water Palace!
