The news of the fiendish invasion should have reached Miluo first. It shouldn't have spread to the other four countries so quickly.
The demonic path was made up of three forces: Centaurea Valley, Pantheon of Demons, and the Great Void Sect. Among them, Centaurea Valley and the Great Void Sect had already formed an alliance to invade the five nations together, and the first to invade was Miluo.
If the Fiends now viewed Miluo as their number one target, then the Miluo Kingdom would have a very difficult chance of winning if they fought alone. Unless they could send cavalry to rush out and ask for reinforcements from the strongest Tianchu Country. The five countries of Qing Xuan were like one branch, and he believed that the Tianchu Kingdom would not leave them alone.
In addition, Miluo was the gateway to the Central Plains, so its strategic position was extremely important. There were also envoys from various countries stationed here, so there should be a large group of people coming to the rescue soon.
That was a problem that was far away and near. What Nangong Xiaoxiang and the others had to face now was how to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
Nangong Xiaoxiang had never fought in a war. Fighting was different from fighting. But he had seen the power of the Devil Dao, and it was likely that this tiny Miluo Nation would not be able to hold on for long. The demonic path swept across thousands of miles, and wherever it went, it was like a raging wind. If they could not defend against the first wave of attacks, the country would perish.
Actually, Nangong Xiaoxiang could have left the room. She was not someone from Miluo Country, so there was no need for her to go through thick and thin with them. And she didn't have the mood to stay here for long. But on second thought, Beiming Junye was a general of the Tianchu Kingdom, so he would definitely participate in this battle. And now, on the borders of Miluo Country, there would definitely be a large number of Devil Dao soldiers gathered. It would not be so easy to charge out.
Thus, Nangong Xiaoxiang decided to stay in Miluo Country to help Yu Shengge. At the same time, she could also wait for Beiming Junye to arrive.
At this moment, Baili Xiaoyao, who had originally planned to stay at the bottom of the valley, also heard the news of the invasion of the Devil Dao. He rushed to Miluo Country and found Nangong Xiaoxiang.
Baili Xiaoyao and Yu Shengge had a blood feud. When enemies met, their eyes would naturally turn red. Baili Xiaoyao could not find his brother Baili Jinjue anywhere, and only then did he know that he had been killed by Yu Shengge.
Although the two brothers did not get along, they were still surnamed Baili. What was the matter with letting an outsider seize power now?
"You killed my brother!" Baili Xiaoyao questioned him.
"So what if I killed him? You're here to save me the trouble of looking for him. Go and accompany your brother!”Yu Shengge didn't give in.
This kind of thing, as usual, was just a verbal cannon. This was because with the cultivation of these two people, it would be difficult for the two of them to determine the victor in a short period of time.
"Now that the enemy is in front of you, can't you put aside your personal grudges and fight the enemy together?”Nangong Xiaoxiang intervened from the side.
"This is not a personal grudge, but a national grudge!”Baili Xiaoyao said.
"That's right, either he dies or I die today!”Yu Shengge said.
The two of them were stubborn and quarreled over some emotional things. In fact, they knew what was at stake and what was important. However, in front of Nangong Xiaoxiang, they couldn't forget each other's pride.
At this time, they had to give them a suitable way out. Nangong Xiaoxiang was also very smart, so she said to them,""Then you have to think for the people of the city. They are all counting on you!”
He cared about the people. This was a grand and righteous reason that could not be broken. Thus, they agreed to temporarily put aside their personal grudges and join forces to resist the enemy.
"Carefree, you came from the bottom of Centaurea Valley. Tell me about the demonic path along the way.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said to Baili Xiaoyao.
"It's like this, I originally lived in Centaurea Valley. When they heard the news, they came up to investigate. Along the way, he discovered that the Hundred Flower Valley and the Great Void Sect had already gathered at the border. They were mighty and ready to go. This time, they had sent out all of their elites. From the looks of it, they were not just coming for the Miluo Kingdom, but for the five kingdoms of the Central Plains.”Baili Xiaoyao said.
"Then did you see any scouts from the four countries on the way?”
"Right now, the borders of the Miluo Country are completely surrounded. It's very difficult for our people to get out, and it's also very difficult for outsiders to get in.”
"Then wouldn't we be like turtles in a jar?”
"Under such circumstances, the Miluo Nation will definitely be in a precarious situation.”
The battle had not even started, but the two men were already not optimistic about the situation. This was also common sense. The Miluo Kingdom was weak and alone, and anyone could see how things were developing when facing the allied forces of the two demonic paths.
The fiendish path had come so suddenly that they wanted to destroy Miluo Country first. Now that the new ruler of the Miluo Kingdom had ascended the throne, there were many things waiting to be done, and his battle prowess was far from what it had been in the past.
"You have been in the Miluo Empire for so many years. In your opinion, how long can the Miluo Empire last?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked Yu Shengge.
"I'm ashamed to say this, but Miluo has always been a warmonger, never daring to neglect its military. It was just that they did not have enough food. Based on the current situation, they could only last for seven days at most. This was under the condition that all the soldiers were determined to die.”Yu Shengge said.
"It was all because of you that the blood and bones of Miluo Country were buried!”Baili Xiaoyao blamed him.
"Stop arguing. Although it wasn't enough for a large army to rush over the day before yesterday, it was still too late. The elite Xuan Qi cultivators from various places should be able to help, right?”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to gather all the sects in the world to fight! Baili Xiaoyao, you are the old Crown Prince. Go down first to appease the people and stabilize the soldiers. We must convey the news that the various countries have come to help.”
Nangong Xiaoxiang and the others went up to the Beacon Tower and prepared to activate the summoning seal of the Celestial Sect.
This was also a temporary measure. Logically speaking, this mudra was something that every Xuanmen disciple knew. How far and how many people he could pass it on depended on his cultivation. Usually, it was only used to communicate between teams.
However, Nangong Xiaoxiang was far from qualified to gather all the sects in the world. She had only used her powerful mystic qi to spread the contact seal further and wider. The other Xuan Qi cultivators did not need to be summoned. It was unknown how many could come.
Nangong Xiaoxiang raised her hand to the sky. A stream of mystic qi shot into the sky and then scattered like a meteor. Nangong Xiaoxiang had taken care of all the corners of the border town where the Xuan Qi cultivators gathered. This move had consumed more than half of her Xuan Qi.
This mystic qi contained some simple information that could be seen through the Qi-closing Eyes. With just one look, one could understand that as a cultivator of mystic qi, as long as they had feelings for their country, they would probably come. Once the Miluo Country was destroyed, the other four countries would also be in danger.
Nangong Xiaoxiang had already committed a huge taboo by summoning the Xuanmen with the Four Symbols Realm. If the losses were too great, the Celestial Sect of Wonders might offend Nangong Xiaoxiang. Therefore, not ordinary people would dare to use this seal casually.
However, Nangong Xiaoxiang had wanted to try this seal for a long time. This was also a consideration of his appeal. Because the information in the mystic qi contained the name of the person who had gathered it: Nangong Xiaoxiang.
The order to gather had been given. What they had to do now was to guard the city pass and wait for reinforcements.
The people from Centaurea Valley and Great Void Sect who came to take the lead were also extraordinary characters. The Centaurea Valley had sent Yun Ziyuan, while the Great Void Sect's Young Master, Jun Xiaojue, had personally taken action. This person was extremely powerful and his movements were as swift as a ghost's. He killed people almost imperceptibly. In just a few days, several of the Miluo Country's Great Generals had been killed by him.
Nangong Xiaoxiang couldn't resist and could only choose to stay in the house.
Yun Ziyuan had always held a grudge against Nangong Xiaoxiang, so she sent people to secretly capture her, but she managed to escape a few times.
The Profound Qi xiuzhe of the orthodox sects had yet to arrive, but the people of Miluo Country were already in a state of panic. It didn't look good. He couldn't last for seven days.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was fretting in the courtyard when she suddenly saw Yu Shengge walk out.
"You should be defending the city walls. Why did you leave your post without permission?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked.
"Do you think that the Miluo Empire still has hope?”Yu Shengge asked.
Frankly speaking, given the current situation, the Miluo Country was indeed in imminent danger. The demonic army hadn't even arrived, and just Jun Xiaojue had caused chaos in the city. He had killed several generals in a row. If the battle began, Miluo Country might very well collapse in a single blow.
However, the three core figures in the city were still unharmed. This was the final bargaining chip of the Miluo Empire.
"Are you willing to die here without a name? So, instead of waiting for death here, you might as well escape with me. I know a small path that can bypass the demonic path blockade.”Yu Shengge said.
"You are betraying the people of the city.”
"I don't care. I just want to go far away with you.”Yu Shengge began to show her love to Nangong Xiaoxiang again. Her words were full of teasing.
Nangong Xiaoxiang felt that he was more frivolous than before. It was possible that he was begging her. No matter what, Yu Shengge's eyebrows were still very good-looking. Nangong Xiaoxiang had originally wanted to help him defend the city. Now that he didn't want the city anymore, what reason did he have to persist?
Thus, he followed Yu Shengge along the small path out of the city.
Along the way, there was a commotion behind them, as if the pursuers had arrived. Yu Shengge said that he would stop the pursuers and let Nangong Xiaoxiang leave first.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was moved by his actions. At times like this, it showed how responsible a man was. It seemed that Yu Shengge was not joking when she said that she wanted to go far away with her.
Nangong Xiaoxiang couldn't let down a man's responsibility, right? Hence, she turned her horse around and left. Because she believed that Yu Shengge would be able to fight her way out.
As expected, Yu Shengge caught up very quickly. However, Nangong Xiaoxiang accidentally injured her with one palm and captured her alive.
" Yu Shengge, you..." Nangong Xiaoxiang was shocked.
"Wretched girl, look at who I am!”Yu Shengge tore off the human skin mask. It turned out that it was Yun Ziyuan in disguise. She had always held a grudge against Nangong Xiaoxiang. Now that she had captured her but not killed her, she was going to torture her. To vent the hatred in her heart for snatching away her love.
"Hmph, you're just like this. If I were Flower Breeze Tower, I would not like a woman like you who is full of jealousy and is like a viper.”Nangong Xiaoxiang was heavily injured on the ground, but she was still a little stronger than her.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
