Chapter 250: The Crown Prince’s Personal Expedition
This Chi Lian Tian Zun and the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun were so close to each other that she seemed to have forgotten what she was here for. She didn't even mention going to Jiuling Mountain to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, or sending troops to recover Nanzhili.
If she didn't mention it, Yuding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun would naturally not be anxious.
To be honest, they didn't want to follow the senior sister to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, because it was impossible for the senior sister to enter the formation to test it first. In all likelihood, they would be ordered by the senior sister to go in and test the formation.
Anyone who wants to do such a dangerous thing is mentally ill.
Therefore, they were not in a hurry at all. They just wanted the senior sister and Qingxin to be together forever, or until the next group of support from Hongmeng Sect arrived.
Chen Jiu was not in a hurry. He was still hoping that someone would come and break the formation later, because at this moment the monkey demon gods under his command were pouring out in large numbers, about ten a day. With every additional day, the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation would increase by nearly half a percent. Naturally, he was not in a hurry.
No one seemed to be in a hurry, except Jiajing, who was secretly anxious.
To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty is still his, and he still wants to be the Longevity Emperor. However, Nanzhili has been occupied by others for so long, and the power of the rebel king Chen Jiu is getting stronger and stronger. How can he not be anxious?
He had finally waited for the huge support from the Hongmeng Sect, and finally saw the hope of killing the rebel king Chen Jiu and taking back Nanzhili. As a result, this Chilian Tianzun was actually getting together with his own grandson, as if he had forgotten everything!
what to do?
He didn't want Chi Lian Tianzun and his grandson to stay together forever. He saw and remembered how fast the rebel king Chen Jiu's strength was growing.
A few years ago, the rebel king Chen Jiu was just a hunter in a mountain village. He had a hard time defeating even the underworld gods who were not even at the ghost general level. But in just a few years, he could even defeat the Yamata no Orochi, who was at the eighth level of True God, and even the True Lord, who was at the ninth level of True God.
If he waits a few more years, he estimates that they will be able to defeat even Tianzun.
What hope does he have then?
This matter cannot be delayed like this, the rebel king Chen Jiu must be dealt with as soon as possible.
The problem is, even his master doesn’t dare to disturb Chilian Tianzun, so does he dare to go over and disturb him?
It would be fine if others gave him face as the Crown Prince, but if they didn't, they would probably raise their hands and slap him.
He saw it when Chi Lian Tianzun raised his hand to slap his master. This woman dared to hit his master, so why wouldn’t she dare to hit him?
He didn't even know if he could withstand a slap from that woman, so he couldn't take that risk.
What should we do?
He racked his brains for several days and finally came up with a solution.
At noon that day, the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun had just finished a luxurious imperial banquet with Chilian Tianzun and was preparing to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden with them.
A young eunuch suddenly came over quickly, looking anxious and said, "Your Highness, it's bad. The Crown Prince has fallen ill. His Majesty rushed over after hearing the news."
Does this mean that he wants to go over too?
Can he not go over?
That's his biological father!
No matter how inhumane he is, he has to go and see his father when his father is no longer alive.
He had no choice but to hug Chi Lian Tian Zun and said reluctantly, "My father may not be able to make it. I have to go and see him. Master, why don't you take a rest first, I'll be back soon."
If it was something else, Chi Lian Tian Zun would definitely accompany him, but for this matter, Chi Lian Tian Zun would definitely not go.
The Crown Prince is the biological father of his beloved disciple. What was her past status? Was she his daughter-in-law?
Just kidding, she would never humble herself in front of a mortal prince. If she didn't humble herself and acted arrogantly, even angering the prince's own father to death, that would be a troublesome matter.
There was no other way, she could only sigh slightly and said, "Go quickly, and come back soon."
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun quickly stood up and disappeared in a flash.
He was not in a hurry to see his father, he mainly wanted to appear to Chi Lian Tianzun as if he wanted to go and come back quickly.
He was not a fool. He certainly knew how important it was for him to be with the Red Snake Goddess. He was not arrogant in front of everyone. He also knew how to please people. He had won the favor of Jiajing in the past. Naturally, he knew very well how to please a woman now.
Jiajing also calculated that Chilian Tianzun would not follow him after using this move.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince flashed in front of him and the Prince.
The prince was naturally pretending to be sick, but he didn't need to act anything. Jiajing just asked him to lie on the bed and pretend to be unconscious.
The Crown Prince saw that his father was motionless and asked in surprise, "Grandpa Emperor, how is my father?"
Your father is of course fine.
Jiajing sighed, then sent a telepathic message: "Jun'er, you know how to try your best to please Chi Lian Tian Zun, and grandpa is very pleased, but you can't be so engrossed in playing that you forget everything!
This world, and even these three realms, are yours after all. You must understand what you are doing and what you should do. The strength of the rebel king Chen Jiu is growing day by day. If you don't deal with him now, I'm afraid you will never be able to deal with him.
And Nanzhili is related to most of the Ming Dynasty's income. If Nanzhili is not taken back, the entire southeast may be lost. You must find a way quickly and let Chilian Tianzun take action!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned when he heard this.
These past few days, he was indeed thinking about how to please Chi Lian Tian Zun. Now that he and Chi Lian Tian Zun were getting along very well, he should indeed use this relationship to do something for himself.
He thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Grandpa Huang, I'll trouble you to take care of my father. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he quickly returned to the side of Chi Lian Tianzun.
When Chi Lian Tianzun saw that his beloved disciple came back so soon, he was naturally very happy.
That night, no one knew what the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun whispered, but early the next morning, Chi Lian Tianzun came to Wanshou Palace alone.
Upon seeing this, Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun couldn't help but look weird .
What is going on? What is a pure heart?
Chi Lian Tian Zun said coldly: "You two little bastards, have you had enough fun?"
Have we had enough fun?
What did we play?
Have you had enough fun?
Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they heard this.
Sure enough, Chi Lian Tian Zun then said sternly: "When you've had enough fun, go work for me. I'll give you half of the Xingxiu Palace Zhenjun who came with me this time. You can put together the Bagua Formation and Jiugong Formation. You should practice well for me these few days."
True Lord of the Xingxiu Palace, please give us half of it. You don’t want us to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, do you?
Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun's expressions changed.
Sure enough, Chi Lian Tian Zun then said coldly: "I and Qing Xin will lead the army to attack Sishui Pass. When I lead the army to the outside of Sishui Pass, you will immediately go to Jiuling Mountain and break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Do you understand?"
Of course we understand.
You take your precious disciple out to play, we are going to Jiuling Mountain to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation for you!
Yuding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun felt so helpless. They dared not disobey the words of the senior sister. If they did not, a slap in the face would be the least of their punishment.
They hesitated for a moment, but nodded helplessly and said, "I understand, Senior Sister."
Upon hearing this, Chi Lian Tianzun snorted coldly and then turned and left.
At this time, the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was discussing the expedition with Jiajing.
He said with some pride: "Grandpa Emperor, I have discussed with Master. We will lead the army to recapture Nanzhili, and the two uncles will lead the 17 True Lords to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in Jiuling Mountain. Both sides will attack together to catch the rebel king Chen Jiu off guard."
Uh, well, can Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun break the formation of ten thousand immortals?
Jiajing expressed doubt.
However, it would be good to take back Southern Zhili first.
Perhaps the rebel king Chen Jiu would choose to lead his troops to garrison Nanzhili. If that were the case, Chen Jiu would be dead.
He didn't know how powerful the Red Snake Heavenly Venerate was. He only knew that his master couldn't help but tremble secretly when he saw the Red Snake Heavenly Venerate. If a Heavenly Venerate could be so scared, Chen Jiu would be dead if he fell into the hands of the Red Snake Heavenly Venerate.
Jiajing thought about it carefully, and then asked: "How many troops are you going to take with you?"
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun said without hesitation: "I have discussed this with Master. We will lead 50,000 troops from the Shenwu Camp and 500,000 elite troops from the Garrison to the battle."
You have already discussed it, what else is there to say?
Jiajing thought for a moment and then asked, "When are you going to go to war?"
Huang Taiji Zhu Yijun said without hesitation: "Tomorrow morning at 7 pm."
Okay.
Jiajing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's take Nanzhili back first."
The Crown Prince personally led the army to lead the army, and the scene was so grand that it was frightening. Not only were there more than 500,000 soldiers following him, but he also built a huge palace as a carriage frame, and the horses pulling the carriage were all demon king-level war horses.
Wherever these guys passed, the pipeline expanded to hundreds of feet wide. A bunch of dukes and nobles were like pioneers, constantly leveling the ground in front of them. No matter whether it was farmland, villages, mountains, forests, or trees, they were all smoothed out.
Their big noise naturally could not be hidden from the bat soldiers in the sky.
When Chen Jiu received the news, he frowned.
It is not surprising that the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun personally led the army to war, but the question is, what about the Heavenly Masters and True Lords of the Hongmeng Sect?
The bat soldiers reported back that they did not see any true god riding on clouds or mist following the army.
Could it be that the Hongmeng Sect would just ignore the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun and let him seek death with an army of more than 500,000?
This should be unlikely. After all, they will send a few True Lords to accompany and protect them.
After all, they have nearly thirty True Lords, and sending a few of them to follow the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun to the expedition will not have much impact on their strength. If the army of more than 500,000 led by the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun is completely wiped out, the impact will be a bit big.
The mortal world is extremely large, and there are a lot of people in it. No matter how powerful a True Lord is, it is impossible for him to take care of mundane affairs, let alone guard a place. These things have to be done by mortals.
If an army of more than 500,000 were gone, half of the Ming Dynasty's territory would be left unguarded. The people of Hongmeng Sect should be aware of this!
Why can’t they see a True Lord accompanying them?
This looks very much like a trap, or in other words, the people from the Hongmeng Sect want to launch a sneak attack on Sishui Pass and take it down in one fell swoop.
After all, the bat soldiers could not see through the huge palace in the middle of the army, which might contain a bunch of Heavenly Lords and True Lords.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then decided to go and see for himself.
The capital city is not far from Jiuling Mountain. He only needs to dodge a few times to find out the situation in the capital city.
However, this time he did not choose the sky above Texas City because he was always worried that someone would ambush him there.
He simply chose the sky above Jinan city.
This distance might be a bit beyond the limit, but the imperial army is coming from the south, so he should be able to detect it.
Sure enough, he soon discovered the mighty imperial army, and he immediately spotted the dozen or so Hongmeng Sect masters riding on monster horses and following the palace, as well as the four old women sitting cross-legged at the four corners of the palace.
The problem was that his spiritual sense could not penetrate into the palace.
It is obvious that someone has engraved a magic array to block the detection of spiritual consciousness.
How many Heavenly Lords are there in there?
The four old ladies were there, and the True Lord outside was obviously sensed by his spiritual sense, but he didn't dare to say a word, just like last time. The Red Snake Heavenly Venerable must be in the palace. Since the Red Snake Heavenly Venerable is no longer in the capital, there should be no danger for him to go and explore the capital.
Thinking of this, he flashed again and came to the sky above Leling City in the northeast of Jinan Prefecture, and directly extended his spiritual sense to scan the capital city with confidence.
Sure enough, only Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun were there, but Chi Lian Tianzun was gone.
However, the number of True Lords remaining in the capital has become seventeen, and those seventeen True Lords seem to be practicing formations under the command of Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun.
He vaguely understood that Chi Lian Tianzun was going to split his troops into two groups and attack together.
Are they asking Jade Ding Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun to bring seventeen True Lords to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?
If that's the case, they still have a fight!
