Chapter 354: What do you want to do?
Xuandu Tianzun originally wanted to use the mortal world's troops to test Chen Jiu's strength, and even test Tongtian Sect's Nine-Curve Formation.
As a result, a terrifying rain of arrows came down and a terrifying sword energy swept over, and the mortal soldiers could not resist.
He had known for a long time that Chen Jiu had a lot of immortal pills and was inhumane, but he really didn't expect that he would do this to him.
It seems like those immortal arrows are free of charge. He can shoot out more than 100,000 arrows at a time!
It seems that it is no use using mortal troops to explore. Nearly 100,000 of them were shot dead by a wave of immortal arrows, and the other 300,000 or so were basically injured. What's the point of exploring?
The three hundred thousand injured ones are not a big deal. With the Wood God here, it doesn’t matter if they are missing limbs. As long as they are still alive, they can be healed. He doesn’t need to worry about it at all.
He did not bring so many mortal troops with him expecting to rely on them to win. The mortal troops were only used for guarding and exploration.
It is obviously impossible to investigate now. If he sends these mortal soldiers to investigate, they will be hit by the immortal arrows, and they will be almost gone within ten rounds.
Although he doesn't care about the life and death of mortals, the mortal men and horses cannot be wasted in vain. He still has to keep these mortal men and horses on guard.
After all, they only have about a thousand people in total, and they have to fight with others, take turns to be on guard, and even have to deal with sneak attacks and harassment from others. If they are not exhausted to death, they will be annoyed to death by the enemy.
It’s different if these mortals are scattered around them. At least the enemy has to clean up these mortals first before they can kill them. And they will definitely be able to notice when the enemy is cleaning up the mortals. This is the role of warning.
However, now these hundreds of thousands of troops crowded in a camp with a radius of dozens of miles can hardly serve as a warning.
In the imperial camp, on the chariot that was more than ten miles in radius, in the palace-like hall, Xuandu Tianzun just frowned slightly and said loudly: "Where is Qingxin?"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun trembled all over.
Of course he is here. Chi Lian Tian Zun can't do without him now. He is standing behind Chi Lian Tian Zun now.
Originally, he thought that with his relationship with Chi Lian Tianzun, he would not have to lead his troops into battle and there would be no danger.
Who knew that this Uncle Master Xuandu would suddenly point him out.
I don't want to go up there and die!
Who can withstand that terrifying sword energy?
He quickly stretched out his hand and gently touched Chi Lian Tianzun's arm.
Chi Lian Tian Zun immediately understood and frowned, "Junior Brother Xuandu, what are you doing? I hope Senior Sister didn't offend you."
You need to change this bad habit of yours.
You are over 100,000 years old, but you are still bewitched by a little kid who is only a few dozen years old in the mortal world. If you are not ashamed, you should at least consider our face.
Xuandu Tianzun said coldly: "Big sister, what are you doing? I just asked Qingxin to arrange the defense. Why are you butting in? We are fighting, don't butt in, okay?"
If you interrupt me again, I will scold you!
Chi Lian Tianzun naturally heard it, and she quickly shut up and stood there without saying a word.
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Disciple is here."
Xuandu Tianzun gave detailed instructions: "Later, you will order the remaining 700,000 troops to spread out around us, spread out in a 500-li radius, build fortresses on all the hilltops, and send immortals or fairies to guard them in turns at all times.
Remember, keep a close watch on our surroundings and don't slack off at all."
Uh, that's it?
It turns out they really didn't want me to rush forward and die!
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, then he asked carefully: "Uncle Master, the enemy's formation is about 20 miles ahead of our camp. If we disperse in front, won't we be scattered into their formation?"
Can they let us spread out into the formation?
This is naturally impossible.
You are looking around carefully, but where is your brain?
Of course, he only hinted at it and didn't say it explicitly.
Xuandu Tianzun stared at him and snorted, "Qingxin, do you understand the rules? I give orders, you just follow . Who told you to be so long-winded in front of me? If you keep on talking long-winded, don't blame me for being rude!"
This is a serious warning from him: Boy, don't take advantage of the favor of the senior sister to act weird in front of me, otherwise I will kill you!
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was an extremely arrogant person. However, he met a group of people from the Hongmeng Sect, each of whom was more arrogant than the other. Moreover, they were strong enough to crush him easily.
He could only swallow his anger and said, "Disciple understands."
Xuandu Tianzun then raised his hand coldly and said: "Send the order, the army retreat 500 miles."
So you want to order the army to retreat.
In this battle, you just sent people to test the waters, and then retreated five hundred miles directly. Moreover, you used my men and horses, and you didn't even lift a finger. Do you know how to fight?
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was stunned.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu was a little dumbfounded.
What’s wrong with these guys? They have been rushing here for more than 40 days, but after trying a few tricks, they immediately retreat!
I don’t think I revealed any of my strength, and I didn’t say anything, right?
What is going on?
He couldn't help but look at Shui Ling Tianzun with a strange expression.
Shui Ling Tian Zun also shook his head with a strange look on his face and said, "I don't know what's going on either."
What are you talking about?
Zhang Wanxia's spiritual sense was not that strong. She could not detect the situation in front of the formation at all, and she did not know what happened in front of the formation.
She couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, what are you talking about?"
Chen Jiu still had a strange look on his face and said, "The enemy has retreated. Both the Hongmeng Sect and the Imperial Court have retreated."
To be honest, he really didn't know what was going on, because there were magic arrays engraved on the other party's chariot, and the palace-like lobby was filled with magic arrays. He couldn't get in at all, and he didn't know what Xuandu Tianzun had said to others.
Zhang Wanxia was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then she murmured, "Could this be a bait? Are they trying to lure us out to fight them?"
This is indeed possible.
Xuandu Tianzun sent the imperial army to wear down their Nine-Curve Formation just to serve as bait, and now that they are retreating, they are probably also serving as bait.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "Don't withdraw the formation, always stay alert and be ready, we must remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
Well, that's all I can do.
Upon hearing this, Shui Ling Tianzun and Zhang Wanxia both nodded solemnly.
At this time, Qi Jiguang in front of the battlefield was also a little dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that after a wave of arrows and a slash of swords, the enemy would retreat!
What's going on?
He stood there thinking for a long time, then looked up at the sky and asked carefully: "Master, what should we do?"
This question?
Of course, an army of 300,000 cannot always stand on the chariots and float in the clouds. Those demon gods also need to consume magic power to ride on the auspicious clouds. It is okay for them to float in the sky for a few hours, but they can't stand it for a few days.
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "You will stay in my kingdom of God and be ready for orders at any time."
After saying that, he directly took the 300,000 soldiers from the Divine Energy Camp and the Divine Blood Camp, along with all the chariots, to the Kingdom of God.
Then, he summoned Qi Jiguang and Deng Zilong to his side and gave them detailed instructions: "Jiguang, Zilong, you must immediately go to Prime Minister Huo and ask him for a year's worth of food, fodder, and all kinds of meat for the 300,000-man army. Put them in your kingdom of God."
The Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji is indeed very dedicated to his work. Last time, when he saw that Yangmei Tianzun still had to find the old fox fairy to get meat for the army, he immediately started to make arrangements.
He directly borrowed a large number of poultry, livestock, bison and sheep for breeding from the old fox fairy kingdom, and ordered the various wood-type kingdoms to immediately begin large-scale breeding and raising.
At this time, almost all the kingdoms of God can produce meat, so it is naturally no problem to supply an army of one million.
Deng Zilong bowed and said "Yes, sir", then turned around to find Prime Minister Ma Ji.
Qi Jiguang was rather reluctant and said, "Master, do you want to take back this magical weapon Kaitian?"
Uh, this.
He had too few magic weapons and precious weapons in his hands. He not only had to use the Kaitian Sword to fight the enemies, but also to chop other things.
Perhaps, it is time to buy some magic weapons and precious weapons. It seems that one of his disciples, Lu Tong, has a magic weapon, the Fire Dragon Sword that was used by the True Lord of Fire Mansion, while the others are still using ordinary magic swords.
Alas, he still had too few elixirs in his hand, and the magic weapons and treasures in Qingmufang City were ridiculously expensive. There was nothing he could do but wait until after this war, when the profits were huge, and then consider equipping his disciples and even the Heavenly Masters such as Shui Ling and Bai Ling with magic weapons and treasures.
Chen Jiu sighed secretly, then waved his hand and said, "You can use it first."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but show his joy. He bowed and quickly went to take the food and supplies.
He really liked this magical weapon Kaitian. It was so exciting to use it to chop down real gods.
Chen Jiu looked at the backs of the two disciples going away, frowned and thought for a while, then simply rushed to the top of Shu Shenfeng and began to enlighten the earth immortals and demon immortals.
He didn't know what Xuandu Tianzun wanted to do, and he could only respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.
In short, it is impossible to lure them out to fight.
He just didn't believe that the Hongmeng Sect would send a large army to the lower world with such fanfare, only to withdraw after a brief test.
The Hongmeng Sect would make the gods in the divine world laugh their heads off.
He continued to expand his strength, continued to enlighten the earth immortals and demon immortals, and continued to cultivate true gods and demon gods. He wanted to see what tricks Xuandu Tianzun was trying to play.
Xuandu Tianzun led the army calmly to the north without any hurry. After marching only fifty miles a day, he ordered the army to set up camp and rest. He was not in a hurry at all.
He retreated slowly and steadily for more than ten days, and finally retreated to a distance of five hundred miles.
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun immediately ran out to give orders, ordering the army to disperse over a radius of 500 miles, set up camps in a scattered pattern, build fortresses on all the surrounding hilltops, and order the earthly immortals and true gods to take turns to guard them at all times, without any slackness.
This time, the true gods of the aristocratic families and the royal family were really played by them.
They originally thought that they would rush forward to be cannon fodder and die, but in the end, dozens of them were really killed by a single sword attack.
Just when they were in despair, the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun suddenly gave an order, ordering them to retreat with the army.
They thought they could escape this time.
Who would have thought that after they had only retreated about 500 miles, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun actually gave another order, ordering them to spread out in an area of 500 miles around, build fortresses on the mountain tops, and take turns to garrison there at all times!
Doesn't this mean that they can't leave?
Because 700,000 troops are spread out over an area of 500 miles, and they have to build fortresses on all the hilltops, ten days would not be enough!
The people of Hongmeng Sect would definitely not be so bored as to let them spread out, build fortresses, waste more than ten days, and then suddenly order them to gather and retreat together.
It is obvious that they are planning to stay here for a long time and fight Chen Jiu to the end.
This time, they have no way to escape!
Chen Jiu was almost fooled by Xuandu Tianzun's move.
Is this guy mentally ill or something? He just retreated, but after retreating more than 500 miles he stopped again and ordered the imperial army to disperse, spreading out everywhere within a radius of 500 miles.
What exactly do you want to do?
He didn't bother to care what Xuandu Tianzun wanted to do. As long as he didn't escape back to the God Realm, it was fine.
As for other people running around, back and forth, just let them do whatever they want.
He just used this time to strengthen his strength.
During these twenty days, he has enlightened more than four thousand earth immortals and more than six thousand demon immortals. Fire Prime Minister Ma Ji and Xian Tianzun have also cultivated more than two thousand true gods and more than three thousand demon gods respectively. Their strength has increased significantly.
It's good for Xuandu Tianzun to move back and forth like this. As long as he moves back and forth for a year or two, he can lead his army out and destroy the Hongmeng Sect's troops who have come to the mortal world.
So, will Xuandu Tianzun continue to move around? What on earth does he want to do?
