Chapter 952: The Imperial Way (2)
'Chonglang'!
The moment Shaoyaojun's slap landed, hundreds of girls in black at the scene drew their swords.
The sword light was sharp, clear as water, and cold as the moon. The sword light flickered and was several feet long, illuminating the sky and the earth with a blue hue. Even Lu Yi felt the sharpness cutting his skin, and the pain made his flesh twitch unconsciously.
Mr. Yueji didn't move, allowing the girls under his command to do what they wanted.
Hundreds of elite soldiers around Shaoyao Jun all changed color, their bodies trembled slightly, and they looked at the girls with swords drawn with extreme fear. Several of them, who had just been touching Shaoyao Jun, and the most clever and smart girls, some of whom even had a bit of mean looks, stepped back silently and hid themselves in the crowd.
Shaoyao-Jun raised his head and grinned at the girls in black: "Hey, you dare to draw your sword at me? Come on, try it! Try it! Who of you dares to stab me hard in the chest with a sword?"
Shaoyaojun pulled open his clothes, revealing his white chest. He rubbed his jade-like chest narcissistically, and smiled at the black-clothed girls in a very vicious way: "If you dare to stab me with a sword, I promise to repay you in kind. No, I will repay a drop of kindness with a spring... If you stab me once, I will stab you ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times... I promise that you will bleed like a spring and cry out to the sky!"
Yue Jijun's face turned darker.
Lu Yu, Ah Hu and others were all blushing - is this what people say?
A sharp whistle sounded from a distance, and a large group of chaotic escape lights rushed towards this side. Then I saw a large group of messy people, wearing all kinds of strange armor, robes, cloaks, wings, wrapped in various black, red, green, white and other magic lights and evil spirits, some walking on clouds, or riding some strange birds and beasts, like a group of evil bandits coming down the mountain, roaring and rushing towards this side.
The leader was an old man wearing a monk's robe, but with a Taoist bun, a string of human skull Buddhist beads around his neck, and a white jade ruyi in his hands that looked like a misty Taoist. He was surrounded by several beautiful women and rushed to the front.
"Who dares to offend Your Majesty? Hey, touch your heads and see if they are still there?" The old man, who looked like a monk or a Taoist priest, shouted in a weird way, "Your Majesty, don't panic. I, the Sun and Moon Monk, am late to save you. Please forgive me!"
There were more than a thousand monks dressed in tatters, flying in a disorderly manner and standing in a line behind Shaoyao Jun. Each of them was arrogant, with three parts of disobedience, seven parts of provocation, and twelve parts of madness. They looked at Yueji Jun with squinted eyes, or drooled at the black-clothed girls around Yueji Jun.
The sound of low war drums roared. On a square black stone in the distance, a large group of soldiers stopped practicing. Under the leadership of several generals, they formed a battle formation and rode on clouds , rapidly approaching the small round land mass.
A total of over one million soldiers lined up in battle formation, and a cloud group with a radius of one hundred miles came mightily.
Soon, these soldiers came behind Yue Jijun, hovering a hundred feet above the ground, confronting the more than a thousand messy monks from a distance.
Obviously, although the monks behind Shaoyao Jun were dressed in disarray and looked like a mob, their cultivation was terrifying... They all had the aura of a star lord or even a heavenly lord. Although their aura was quite superficial, and many of them, like Shaoyao Jun, had forcibly raised their realms with elixirs or other secret methods, they were indeed very strong.
The millions of soldiers behind Mr. Yue had a solemn aura, like fine steel that had been tempered a thousand times. The aura of the millions of soldiers was perfectly integrated into one, like a golden city.
Although the individual cultivation of these soldiers was far inferior to that of the group of "experts" behind Shaoyao Jun, after forming a formation, the overall energy of both sides was actually comparable...
More sounds of war drums and horns came from all over the Black Stone Land.
Someone was yelling and swearing.
Then, more cloud formations rose into the air from the black stones, and a large group of soldiers launched their warships, forming a fleet formation and charging towards the circular land in the middle.
Soon, with this circular land as the core, the private army in this huge circular space was clearly divided into two camps.
The private army behind Shaoyaojun probably accounted for less than 60% of the total.
The private army behind Yue Jijun probably accounts for a little more than 40% of the total.
It took the army more than an hour to assemble, mobilize, charge, and form a battle formation... During this process, Mr. Peony and Mr. Rose said nothing, just looked at each other.
When the armies of both sides were fully assembled, Shaoyao Jun suddenly laughed: "Hey, Yueji, you are so bold and powerful that you actually gathered an army and went against me, your brother? What gives you the right?"
Shaoyao Jun pointed his right hand to the sky and roared fiercely: "I am the chief steward appointed by my father to control all affairs of Dahei Mountain... You dare to draw your swords against me? You want to rebel? Huh?"
A strange blood flowed on Yuejijun's fair face. His face turned red, his hands were clenched into fists, and he looked at Shaoyaojun with twitching mouth.
The same armor, the same weapons, the same warships, and the same training resources... The army behind Lord Yueji seems to be more orderly in formation and array than the army behind Lord Shaoyao, and its military momentum is a bit stronger.
But its strength is limited.
The total number of troops behind Shaoyao Jun was nearly 20% more, and the number of generals above the level of Heavenly General accounted for nearly 70%. In terms of the number of generals, the army behind Shaoyao Jun had an absolute advantage.
Not to mention, there are more than a thousand people behind Shaoyaojun, a group of independent masters who he recruited with extremely generous treatment, wine, sex, money and other means... These guys seem to be incompetent and like guerrillas, but they are all notorious villains and thugs in the Dahei Mountain.
Their methods are cruel, evil, and poisonous, as well as dirty, obscene, mean, and shameless... If the more than a thousand Star Lord and Heaven Lord-level independent cultivators were to act freely, it would cause huge losses to the army behind Yue Jijun.
"Your Majesty, this is orthodoxy!" Lu Yi exclaimed in a teasing tone, "Your Majesty is orthodox, legitimate, and righteous. Therefore, some people are engaged in corruption and form cliques in private, but they don't expect that the people's support is still with Your Majesty... Tsk tsk, some people really overestimate their own abilities and are a bit fanciful."
Lu Yi's words...
Mr. Yue’s expression became increasingly ugly.
Shaoyao Jun opened his arms with great pride, turned around on the spot, and looked complacently at the huge military formation behind him and the more than a thousand masters he had worked so hard to gather over the years.
"Master Xuanzang is a man of insight. What he said makes sense." Lord Shaoyao looked coldly at the generals behind Lord Yueji, who were wearing heavy armor and had a solemn aura. "Haha, I've made note of all of you today..."
Behind Yue Jijun, the faces of many generals suddenly changed.
Lu Yu's words were clearly intended to sow discord and add fuel to the fire...but there was no doubt that what he said made sense.
Shaoyao Jun was the person in charge of the Dahei Mountain under the instruction of their 'father'... Although Yueji Jun used his personal charm, his talents, his gifts, his respect for the wise and his willingness to share weal and woe, he made more than 40% of the soldiers become his confidants.
But all this is unreasonable and illegal.
If Lord Shaoyao were to investigate, all those generals who were commanding the army and standing behind Lord Yueji today, as well as their wives, children and the elderly, would be in trouble!
unless……
A general wearing heavy armor, with a burly figure, nearly 24 feet tall, with long iron chains wrapped around his arms and two golden meteor hammers the size of ordinary carriages hanging on his arms, took a step forward with rumbling steps, bent down and whispered into Yue Jijun's ear: "Your Majesty, this evil monk is misleading the people with his evil words, I think..."
Rose's eyes flickered.
Mr. Peony retreated into the crowd.
The Sun and Moon Monk smiled, the jade ruyi in his hand flashing with an evil light, and stood in front of Shaoyao Jun.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly froze and the situation became extremely subtle.
A breeze blew by, sweeping across the fine hair on everyone's ears, making a rustling sound... Everyone felt their skin a little itchy, and their hearts began to beat inexplicably.
What if that evil monk was not a secret envoy sent by the Linghu family, but a spy sent by the enemy... After his identity was revealed, he took Shaoyaojun hostage and broke out, resulting in the death of Shaoyaojun and a large number of soldiers!
This excuse is reasonable.
The only key is that Yue Jijun and his trusted aides must annihilate Lu Yi, Shaoyaojun, and all the soldiers and generals behind Shaoyaojun... As long as Shaoyaojun is killed to death, then...
Peony-kun laughed, "Rose, what are you thinking about?"
Yue Jijun looked at Shao Yaojun with a gloomy gaze, and then turned to Lu Yi. In Lu Yi's mind, the Eastern Colored Glaze Pillar emitted a brilliant Buddha light, ready to jump out at any time to protect his whole body.
There are also several Buddhist treasures with large-scale attack properties that are also eager to try.
If Yue Jijun really wants to go all out and completely break off relations, then Lu Yi will definitely help them, and both sides will kill each other with corpses rolling and blood flowing like a river.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom!"
The giant bell thousands of miles high in the void suddenly rang with a resounding sound. Countless gorgeous patterns on the bell body rippled with colorful starlight. Strands of starlight shone through the countless patterns and condensed into a hazy human figure.
"Lord Shaoyao, Lord Yueji, the Lord has ordered you to mobilize all the troops of Dahei Mountain and set off immediately!" The figure shouted sternly: "Hurry up, full speed, send out the whole army... eh?"
The figure saw the tense confrontation clearly and said in shock: "Your Majesty, have you received the king's order in advance? How come you have assembled the army so soon? This, this..."
The almost frozen atmosphere at the scene suddenly dissipated.
Shaoyao Jun laughed wildly: "After raising soldiers for many years, there will be a place to use them...Yueji, should we mobilize the troops? We must not delay our father's work!"
The blush on Yuejijun's face suddenly disappeared. He exhaled, rubbed his face that had just been slapped by Shaoyaojun, and nodded with a smile: "Finally... Brother is right. Father wants to use troops. We brothers should work together and move forward with all our strength!"
The war drums roared and the trumpets blew loudly.
Lu Yi and his party were imprisoned in the bottom cabin of the warship. In the entire space, except for the hundreds of warships left to guard, all other capable and skilled warriors boarded the warships and swarmed out through the secretly arranged star gate channel.
The "father king" behind Peony Lord and Rose Lord invested a lot in Dahei Mountain and developed a lot of peripheral forces. They have people to deal with the bandits who smashed and looted everywhere, the local tyrants who divided the spoils, the local tigers who sat on the market, and the leaders of the big forces who established cities and even countries.
There are star gates everywhere in the Dahei Mountains. With the help of these star gates, fleets quickly gathered together and finally arrived at a remote and quiet place in the Dahei Mountains.
Here, black stones have become extremely sparse. Often, there are only one or two sparse black stones floating weakly in the air at intervals of millions of miles.
One, two, three or four natural stars are lazily suspended in the void, emitting light on their own, or revolving around some huge natural celestial body.
Fleets were like killer whales leaping out of the sea, passing through the dense black rock turbulence of the Great Black Mountain from all directions, and gathered here almost at the same time. The size of the fleet was constantly expanding. When Lu Yi and Ah Hu and his party were pulled out of the bottom of the warship again, all directions were filled with warships of all sizes, and the total number had exceeded tens of millions.
Lu Yi just felt his scalp tingling.
There are tens of millions of warships, and if each warship is organized according to the Five Military Commands of Heaven and is equipped with more than 300,000 elite soldiers as standard... the number of soldiers gathered here would be in the trillions!
"Buddha have mercy on me." Lu Yi muttered in a low voice: "I heard that the Heavenly Court's patrolling divine guards have a heavenly monitoring mirror that can illuminate the whole sky. Such a large-scale fleet movement cannot be concealed at all... Ugh!"
As Lu Yu was mumbling here, he saw monks in long robes offering a jade tablet about a foot square on the bows of warships. The jade tablets emitted a faint starlight that enveloped the warships, and a wisp of strict law aura surged. The emblems of the Five Armies of Heaven appeared on the surface of these warships!
These were clearly private fleets owned by some powerful person, but they suddenly transformed themselves into the insignia of the regular army of the Five Military Forces of Heaven.
Thus, under the cover of the aura of this badge, the Sky-Monitoring Treasure Mirror of the Sky-Patrol Forbidden Divine Guards would not have any feedback response to the mobilization of a fleet of this scale.
Lu Yu's eyes widened.
Oh, no wonder the Heavenly Book Lord was staring at this matter eagerly, no wonder the Linghu family was so scared that they even gave the throne of the head of the family to Yinyuan, allowing Lu Yi to openly become the guest elder of the family...
This powerful man who colluded with the Linghu family, mobilized resources privately, and maintained a private fleet of tens of millions, is actually related to the big shots in the Heavenly Court?
The Five Military Headquarters!
The big shot of the Five Military Office issued the official seal of the Heavenly Court Army to this private military fleet!
This, this, this…what does this mean?
A general of the imperial guard of a certain dynasty in the secular world privately granted all the privileges that only the imperial guards had to the army privately raised by a certain provincial governor of the dynasty. He gave them a full set of official documents for mobilizing troops, imperial edicts and seals, and even flags, armor, etc., so that they could mobilize the army at will on the territory of the dynasty in the capacity of the imperial guards!
This is simply rebellion!
Moreover, it is a rebellion against Heaven!
"Really..." Under the influence of Lu Yi, the five old men, who had become more clever and intelligent and whose IQs were no worse than those of ordinary people, looked even more droopy and widened their eyes in horror.
"My goodness, are you dissatisfied with the feng shui of their ancestral graves and want to dig their ancestors out of the graves and jump around?" The big parrot made a 'slurp' sound and took a breath of cold air. "You are really brave. I have to say I admire you!"
Ahead, several large ships that were hundreds of miles long and had particularly bloated bellies, apparently belonging to the specifications of "transport ships" gathered together. The heavy hulls opened, revealing the huge ship space inside. Tens of thousands of monks soared into the air, surrounded by starlight, and huge star gate components slowly flew out from the cabins of these large ships.
These star gate components are often hundreds of miles long.
Although the components were disassembled, they still emitted a majestic spatial fluctuation. This spatial fluctuation twisted, folded, and disrupted the surrounding spatial structure. Therefore, those warships could not use spatial restrictions. There were only a few stargate components that could be accommodated in a warship.
Huge transport ships kept flying out and star gate components were quickly pieced together.
It took several days to complete a giant star gate with a diameter of ten thousand miles. Several formation masters gathered in front of the star gate, constantly casting seals and performing various adjustments on the star gate.
The star gate with a diameter of ten thousand miles emitted a dark light. The surrounding void flickered with the faint light, constantly twisting and wriggling, as if a huge heart was beating constantly, causing the void to almost collapse.
After debugging for a long time, the formation masters let out long whistles at the same time.
Mountains of imperial coins flew out from transport ships one after another, sinking fiercely into the dark hollow in the middle of the star gate. The imperial coins burned and annihilated, and the majestic Dao rhyme and spiritual power were swallowed up by the star gate.
In the distance, someone should be pulling the coordinates.
Layer upon layer of star gates rotated and quickly locked onto the coordinates of a certain celestial region. Strong light surged and spread out in all directions. A huge light gate with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles was forcibly opened up in the void.
Millions of giant warships rushed into the light gate. Everyone only felt a burst of starlight spinning in front of their eyes, their bodies stretching, folding, and changing in weight. When all the strange phenomena disappeared, a large group of stars appeared in front of them, and each star continuously emitted a majestic life energy with a hint of coolness to the surroundings.
At first glance, there are about 100,000 stars of all sizes in this area, and there are traces of life activities above most of the stars.
Near these stars, there are many small stardusts, as well as a large number of floating land masses, floating cities and other creations.
This is a vibrant and vast life star field.
"Kill them all!" Shaoyao Jun looked at the star field ahead and shouted, "My father has ordered that this star field be sealed off and completely slaughtered!"
