Chapter 281 The war is about to break out
Early this morning, it was bright and clear.
Chen Ling came to the hall.
He Yunxiu has already prepared breakfast.
Knowing that Chen Ling was going out today, she got up early to cook, but the children were not yet awake.
"Husband, please bring a few more people with you this time. There is strength in numbers!"
He Yunxiu served Chen Ling a bowl of spiritual porridge, handed it over, and said with concern.
She knew that Chen Ling might not listen to her, but she couldn't rest assured if she didn't say anything.
After all, her opponent this time was the superior Lan Yue Sect. As soon as she found out about this, she had not slept well for several days.
I want to persuade Chen Ling not to go, but I know that this is a matter of life and death for the Chen family, so it’s okay not to go!
But after leaving, she really couldn't rest assured!
Although Chen Ling is now in the middle stage of Golden Elixir, the dangers he faces now seem to be even more worrying than when he was in Hongye Alley.
After all, if you are careful in Red Leaf Alley, you can still get through it.
But when you encounter such a high-level monk, if you make a slight mistake, it will be over!
"Well, I have asked Wei Keqing and others to follow me!"
Chen Ling took the meat buns and ate them, smiling.
His expression was relaxed, and he didn't look like he was going to fight, but rather like he was out on a trip.
This time, he just asked Wei Wenwu, Fire Spirit Beast, Haoyang Bird and Qi San to go to Pohu City with him.
"Husband, we want to go with you!"
As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, three dashing and heroic figures walked in from outside the hall. The leader was none other than Wang Yun, who was wearing a moon-white dress and looked elegant and cool.
On the left and right are the charming Li Yourong and the bright-eyed and white-toothed Shen Ling.
As soon as they entered the hall, the three of them looked at Chen Ling with concern in their eyes.
Chen Ling finished the meat buns, drank another bowl of soy milk, shook his head and said, "You'd better stay home!"
Although Patriarch Wang has many arrangements for this battle, no one knows what the final outcome will be.
If one of them, Wang Laozu and Zhao Laozu, loses to their opponent, there will be big trouble.
With the many means at his disposal, as long as he finds it in time and retreats safely, there will be no problem.
But if Wang Yun and the three of them went together, they would be more worried!
"Husband, we can't worry if you go alone!"
Wang Yun looked concerned and serious.
Nowadays, among the wives and concubines of the Chen family, apart from He Yunxiu, she has the greatest say.
And He Yunxiu usually follows Chen Ling's wishes, no matter how big or small, everything is almost always based on Chen Ling's starting point.
Wang Yun is different. Both of them now have the same sense of family belonging of 320%.
But in comparison, Wang Yun was more courageous and far-sighted, and Chen Ling was originally her subordinate.
She is also the head of a sect.
Therefore, she also has a great say when it comes to such important matters that are related to the life and death of the Chen family.
As for Li Yourong and Shen Ling, they didn't speak.
But the expressions on their faces also showed their attitude.
Although they faced Du Qingyun last time and truly experienced the test of life and death, their swordsmanship skills have also improved significantly.
As for the danger this time, they were well aware of it and were ready to live and die with Chen Ling.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Chen Ling could only nod helplessly and said, "However, everything will have to be arranged by me!"
The three of them smiled and nodded in agreement.
He Yunxiu's expression also relaxed a lot.
Then, the four of them finished eating together and went out.
Qi San and others were already waiting in the square.
······.
The sky is getting brighter.
A small five-element war boat carrying Chen Ling and others flew out of the north gate of Jade Butterfly City and sped away to Pohu City.
Qi Santong sat cross-legged on the deck and steered the flying boat in front.
Wang Yun, Li Yourong and Shen Ling were also standing on the deck.
The cool breeze blew gently by, and their dresses fluttered in the wind, outlining three graceful figures.
Chen Ling, dressed in a mysterious robe, was beside them, holding a thousand-mile sound transmission in his hand, with a slightly solemn look on his face.
Looking at the mountains in the distance where the fog is gradually dissipating.
The message of the transmission talisman appeared in Chen Ling's mind:
"Three days ago, the Lanyue Sect, led by Cao Yuntian, entered the territory of the Golden Horned Lion in Yunmengze."
"According to the original plan, Fellow Daoist Zhao deliberately gave up on dealing with the Golden Horned Lion at the critical moment."
"Sure enough, Cao Yuntian assisted Cao Weiye in killing this golden horned lion."
"In the end, the golden horned lion was trapped by Cao Weiye's legal domain, but it completely burned the blood in its body, got rid of the legal domain's suppression, and then exploded the demon elixir."
"Fortunately, Cao Yuntian took action in time to suppress the scope of the Demonic Pill's self-destruction, but the monks of Lan Yue Sect also suffered many casualties."
"Especially Cao Weiye, although he escaped with the help of treasure weapons, his cultivation level has also fallen to the late Nascent Soul stage."
"In addition, Cao Yuntian and Dewey were also affected a lot!"
"After they kill the Golden Horn, they will probably go to Pohu City for repairs this afternoon. This is our best opportunity to take action."
"It seems that the decisive battle is faster than I thought!" Chen Ling put away the transmission talisman and murmured.
"Everyone!"
Chen Ling's face became solemn. When he saw the eyes of Wei Wenwu and others looking over, he said solemnly, "I have never told you why I went to Pohu City this time. It is actually related to the life and death of my Chen family. I must not tell you why." Not careful!"
It took Chen Ling only two days to tell He Yunxiu and the others about such a major plot against the Cao and Du families.
But Chen Jiaqing was not ready to mention it to them until now.
It's not that he can't trust them, it's just that the matter is too important.
As long as there is a trace of leakage, the Chen family will be doomed!
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Chen, even Du Qingyun was killed by you! What else is worth making such a fuss about?"
"Is it possible to attack Lan Yue Sect?"
After hearing Chen Ling's words, the red body of the fire spirit beast poked its head out from the second floor corridor and said with a smile.
The Fire Spirit Beast has always looked like a careless bird, as if it wouldn't be a big deal if the sky fell.
But at critical times, it can still play a role.
Wei Wenwu, Haoyangniao and Qi Santong were silent and looked at Chen Ling with a confused expression.
They are all veterans. If it were an ordinary matter, there would be no need to deploy such a powerful lineup.
In addition, not long ago, the Chen family killed all the invading Qingyun Peak monks of Lan Yue Sect.
But these days, Lan Yuezong didn't even fart.
They could vaguely make a guess.
Chen Ling took a deep breath, and then said with a very solemn expression, "That's right! This time we are going to attack the people of Lan Yue Sect!"
"Now, my Chen family and Zhao family are related by marriage, and the Cao and Du families want to join forces to deal with the Zhao family, so naturally I have to help!"
After hearing Chen Ling's calm words, but containing huge lethality, Wei Wenwu and the other two people suddenly looked at each other, with horror in each other's eyes.
A huge wave of terror arose in my heart.
Haoyang Bird was doing better, while Wei Wenwu and Qi Santong looked at Chen Ling in disbelief.
Both of them have stayed in the Chen family for several years and know Chen Ling well.
I will never cause trouble unless I have to.
Not to mention provoking the Huashen family.
And with Chen Ling's usual poise, it's unlikely that he would be unclear about the gap between the Chen family and the Huashen family.
Chen Ling defeated Du Qingyun and indeed showed his strength that shocked them.
But the Cao and Du families have god-transformation monks in charge, which is completely different.
Wei Wenwu hurriedly said cautiously, "The Cao family and the Du family are both old-fashioned god-transformation families, especially the Cao family. Cao Ancestor is a monk in the middle stage of god-transformation. He can be said to be an invincible existence in the Western Wilderness."
"The strength is so strong that even if we, the Chen family and the Zhao family join forces, it is difficult to compare with them."
Although the words were well-founded, the cowardice in them was obvious.
But it's normal. Cao Yuntian, who is in the middle stage of becoming a god, is enough to kill everyone on the war boat.
The power of the gods to understand the rules is completely different from the power of laws.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed very courageous. He dares to challenge even the cultivator of the Transformation of Gods. He will definitely be the material to do big things in the future!"
The fire spirit beast said with sincere admiration.
Qi Santong and Wei Wenwu both looked up at the Fire Spirit Beast, speechless for a moment.
This stupid bird is crazy!
Chen Ling sighed slightly and said helplessly, "It's not what I wanted for things to reach this stage!"
"But don't worry, everyone! There will naturally be other people to deal with Cao and Du's spiritual transformation monks. We only need to deal with their Nascent Soul monks."
"As long as you do your best, the rewards will remain the same as last time."
"In addition, as long as there is a threat to life, everyone can retreat, and I will never blame you!"
After hearing what Chen Ling said, the expressions of the three people relaxed slightly.
They all knew that Chen Ling was the one who made decisions, and they thought they already had a plan to deal with it.
But in the Western Wasteland, the Zhao family has no god-transforming monks.
Where can I find the cultivator to deal with the ancestors of Cao and Du?
"Okay, everyone doesn't need to worry! When you get to Pohu City, just follow my arrangements!"
Chen Ling stopped and said.
Seeing the calm faces of Wang Yun and the others, Wei Wenwu and the others stopped talking.
······.
More than half an hour later, the war boat finally landed slowly over Pohu City.
I haven't been to Pohu City for more than a year, and the entire Pohu City has almost doubled in size.
Looking down from the air, one can see that the sky above Pohu City is covered by a huge light curtain, emitting a light yellow light and extremely solid.
Chen Ling's consciousness swept over.
After feeling the intensity of the light mask, it was obviously a fourth-level low-grade formation.
The Zhao family has spent all its capital in Pohu City!
Then everyone jumped off the war boat with Chen Ling, and the war boat was put away by Chen Ling.
In the blink of an eye, several rays of light flew down and flew straight to Pohu City.
The person in charge of patrolling the city was a disciple of the Zhao family who was an old acquaintance of Chen Ling. When he saw him.
Immediately open the passage and let them enter the city.
As soon as he entered the light mask, Chen Ling could feel a stormy and oppressive atmosphere.
At this moment, there are hundreds of powerful auras all over the city, at least from monks who are in the middle stage of foundation building or above.
They must all be disciples of the Zhao family participating in the war this time.
Then, under the leadership of the disciple, everyone came to the Pohu City General Affairs Hall.
When several people entered the hall, eight monks were already sitting in the empty hall.
Ancestor Zhao is sitting in the main seat with a solemn expression, and to his right is Ancestor Wang with a calm expression.
The other six people are also of Nascent Soul cultivation level!
Saw Chen Ling and others coming in. All eyes turned towards him.
Some are scrutinizing, some are curious, and some are kind.
But they were all smiling and nodding slightly.
Except for Patriarch Wang, everyone here was a senior member of the Zhao family, and they were curious as to why Zhao Chanzhen would fall in love with this ordinary-looking man in front of him.
Chen Ling also bowed his hands to everyone.
"Junior pays homage to the two ancestors! Seniors!"
"Greetings to all seniors!"
Everyone behind him also followed Chen Ling and said with cupped hands.
"Ling'er, you're here, sit here!"
Seeing Chen Ling and others, Patriarch Zhao's face showed joy, pointing to the empty seat on his left hand, motioning for Chen Ling to take a seat.
Chen Ling was able to kill Du Qingyun, which could be said to be qualified to be on an equal footing with him.
But the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Zhao family did not know about this.
Seeing their ancestors looking at Chen Ling so differently, they all looked surprised.
But seeing the lineup behind Chen Ling, they didn't have any objections.
Now that the situation was urgent, Chen Ling was not polite and sat down on the sandalwood chair.
The others took their seats under him.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's get down to business!"
I saw Old Ancestor Zhao wave his hand and cast a soundproof spell in the hall. He glanced at everyone and said solemnly.
Then, his eyes stopped on Chen Ling, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Ling'er, first of all, I want to confirm whether Du Qingyun is alive or dead now?"
When everyone in the audience heard this, they all looked at Chen Ling again with surprised expressions on their faces.
What does Du Qingyun's life and death have to do with Chen Ling?
In their opinion, Chen Ling was only in the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and his strength was not as good as the few guests around him.
And Du Qingyun is the number one monk in the Western Wilderness. Among the people here, there are only ancestors with the thunder ape fighting body who can compete with him.
"died!"
Chen Ling nodded and replied calmly.
hiss!
hiss!
"How can this be?"
Even though everyone present was a Nascent Soul monk who had been practicing for hundreds or even thousands of years, they couldn't help but exclaim.
This news really shocked them!
"Okay! Okay! Ling'er is indeed a young hero. This battle can be regarded as a great contribution to our Zhao family!"
"This is Tokiya Mingya!"
Ancestor Zhao's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he said with praise.
When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it. After confirming it with Zhao Chanzhen again and again, he was overjoyed.
Without Du Qingyun, this battle will undoubtedly have more chances of winning.
Otherwise, Du Qingyun alone could contain at least three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhao family.
And Du Qingyun is the most likely person from the Du family to become a god-transformation monk.
Now that he is killed, it is absolutely impossible for the Zhao family to have another god-transforming monk within five hundred years.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Zhao family.
Then he said with bright eyes and a loud voice, "Zhao has been here for more than nine hundred years now."
"From the first day of practice, it has been my duty to protect my family and sect."
"But now, our Zhao family has spent a lot of resources and made many preparations just to kill the fifth-level monster!"
"But the Cao and Du families are using their power to bully others and want to deal with my Zhao family!"
"Although I, Zhao, am incompetent, I will definitely not be surrendered! I don't want my Zhao family to have its inheritance cut off from now on."
"Therefore, in the afternoon, monks Cao and Du will come to Pohu City to repair it."
"We will fight to the death with him!"
"Ancestor, but Ancestor Cao and Ancestor Du are here, how should we deal with it?"
Opposite Chen Ling, a skinny old man said in a deep voice, with a hint of fear in his tone.
"Cao Yuntian and Dewei will be dealt with by me and fellow Daoist Wang!"
Ancestor Zhao said with a calm expression.
Seeing that Old Ancestor Zhao was so confident, the others, although they still had doubts on their faces, said no more.
Then Patriarch Zhao looked at Chen Ling again and said cautiously, "Ling'er, are you able to deal with Cao Weiye and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators?"
"Albert Cao's injury this time is not serious. At most, he can only use his late-stage Nascent Soul combat power!"
Although the key to this battle lies in the two god-transforming monks, the battle of Nascent Soul is equally important.
The advantage of any Nascent Soul cultivator is enough to affect the entire battle situation.
"Ancestor, don't worry, our Chen family can handle the four Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Chen Ling clasped his fists and said with a serious face.
With the combined combat strength of the current few people, they can still even out one person against the four Nascent Soul cultivators.
Just let the fire spirit beast be responsible for responding.
Whoever appears in danger first will be assisted!
"Okay, then the plan is finalized!"
"Let's go outside the city and set up a battlefield!"
Ancestor Wang nodded slightly, his tone somewhat relieved. Originally, he was worried about the lack of manpower.
Although everything went according to plan, there was always a haze in his heart, and he always felt that this battle would not go so smoothly.
But Chen Ling solved his most worrying problem as soon as he arrived.
It made his confidence increase a bit!
Then, everyone followed Patriarch Wang to the city.
Along the way, everyone was silent, knowing in their hearts that this battle was a battle of life and death.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
······.
Afternoon.
"coming!"
Chen Ling and others were sitting cross-legged on the top of the city, and Patriarch Zhao's voice reached their ears very clearly.
Chen Ling and others stood up at the same time, raised their heads and looked up to the sky.
I saw a dazzling black light shining in the west, quickly approaching Pohu City.
Within a few breaths, people gradually saw clearly the black light coming directly from them.
It was a huge black battleship with a bow.
The surface shines with black thunder and lightning, which is refined from thunder wood and golden sun stone.
The surface of the war boat is carved with thunder patterns, and hundreds of thunder beads are distributed and inlaid, releasing wisps of thunder, with terrifying power.
Wisps of thunder condensed into a thunder shield, enveloping the war boat that was over a hundred feet long.
At this moment, the deck of the war boat was filled with a large group of monks. The two leaders were a burly middle-aged man in black robes and a thin old man with red hair.
"Dewey! Cao Yuntian!"
Seeing the two of them, Patriarch Wang next to Chen Ling shrank his eyes and murmured solemnly.
