Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 213: The Spirit of a Nation
"when!"
The Donghuang Bell resounded through the sky.
The heavenly soldiers and generals launched a massive attack, and the demon king and his soldiers of Qingqiu Kingdom were defeated step by step. There were even many demons who turned against them and became guides.
The core of Qingqiu Kingdom - Qingqiu Mountain.
Faced with the Heavenly Court who was determined to conquer Qingqiu, Qingqiu King Tu Shanyi was helpless.
He thought that after integrating nearly a hundred demon kings and getting help from the Immortal Court, there would be no problem in blocking the spying of the Heavenly Court. But the reality was so cruel!
"When will the support from your Immortal Court arrive?" Tu Shanyi was extremely annoyed and no longer showed his usual respect to the Immortal Court messenger.
The Immortal Court envoy, Jing Yuan Xian Jun, frowned, and was quite displeased with the attitude of the Qing Qiu King. However, due to the situation, he could only patiently answer: "I have already informed the Emperor, and I think the reinforcements from my Immortal Court will arrive soon!"
“It will come soon again?!” Tu Shanyi could no longer bear it, slammed the table and stood up, shouting: “When the heavenly soldiers were approaching, you said it would come soon. Now half of my Qingqiu country has fallen, and you are still saying it will come soon!
I finally see clearly that your Immortal Court has no intention of rescuing Qingqiu.
"Okay, okay, if you don't save me, I, Qingqiu, will save them myself. Since I can't the Heavenly Court, I will lead my clan to surrender!"
"Surrender? Hahaha..." Jingyuan Immortal Lord was not afraid of the angry Tu Shanyi. Instead, he covered his mouth and laughed. He laughed so hard that tears came out: "Go~ Go and surrender, and hand over the old guy from your clan. In this way, your clan may be able to make amends for the crime!"
"You..." Tu Shanyi was so angry that he exploded on the spot. A huge and sacred phantom of the fox clan appeared in the air, with eight huge fox tails revealed, and boundless power shook the universe.
"Oh, the appearance of a celestial fox? The Tushan King is so lucky."
Immortal Lord Jingyuan clapped his hands in admiration, then his eyes flashed coldly and he snorted.
Three flowers gathered at the top of the head to form an image of Tao. In the vast auspicious clouds, a fairy sword rolled. The aura was extremely strong and masculine. The magnificent fox fairy magic collapsed on the spot. The power of heaven and earth emanating from within made Tu Shanyi unable to move.
"You you..." Tu Shanyi was inexplicably shocked. He stared at Immortal Lord Jingyuan and opened his mouth to speak, but he opened and closed his mouth several times and no words came out. His whole body was shaking like a sieve.
His legs were so weak that he couldn't help but kneel down.
Seeing him like this, Jingyuan Immortal Lord couldn't help laughing, dissipated his arrogance, helped the nearly fallen Qingqiu King to the main seat, and said in a gentle tone: "My King, now that the Heavenly Court has sent a large army here, they will not give up until Qingqiu is destroyed.
What you and I should do now is to unite and fight against the foreign enemies. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, don't worry."
"Yes, yes... I will obey the Immortal Court in everything in Qingqiu." Tu Shanyi answered cautiously, sweat kept pouring down his forehead and the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat. He sat on the main seat like sitting on pins and needles, lowering his head and looking at the Immortal Court messenger with a submissive look.
Seeing that the King of Qingqiu had behaved himself, Immortal Lord Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction.
He looked up at the sky for a long while, then said slowly, "It's still a little short after all~~"
"Order: Call back the demon kings of all the mountains and cities, retreat to Qingqiu Mountain, activate the mountain protection formation, and hold on until help arrives!"
A great sound of justice spread in all directions, and the demon kings of Qingqiu Kingdom, both big and small, retreated towards Qingqiu Mountain as if they were risking their lives.
The Heavenly Court tried their best to stop them, but there is great terror between life and death. In order to stay alive, the demon kings released energy that was many times stronger than before.
For a moment, a torrent of magic spells were flying all over the sky. Some were from the demons of Qingqiu, and some were from the Heavenly Court. All these magic spells finally all went towards Qingqiu Mountain.
"Boom~"
As most of the monsters retreated back to Qingqiu Mountain, a huge formation covering all directions appeared out of nowhere. The sky was vast and boundless fog rose up. In an instant, the entire Qingqiu Mountain was hidden in it.
In the darkness, one can hear the sound of foxes howling one after another, the air is filled with cold fog, and the sad wind is blowing. It is lonely and desolate, confusing and troubling.
"end!"
When the heavenly soldiers arrived at this point, Bai Ze suddenly ordered them to go around the mountain and stop. Then he waved the battle flag and set up ten nets to seal off the ten directions.
After doing all this, he turned back to the central army to meet Donghuang Taiyi.
"Bai Ze, long time no see!"
Before he got close to Donghuang, Mingyu jumped out from the void, put one hand on Bai Ze's shoulder very skillfully, and greeted him with a smile.
" Lord Lingzun ." Bai Ze smiled and was about to return the gift.
Mingyu directly pressed his hand and said casually: "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on now."
"Need I ask? Of course we won a great victory and the enemy was defeated!" Bai Ze answered in surprise.
"Hey~ I say, Bai Ze, it's only been a few years since we last met, and you've become so honest? You even hid it from me!" Mingyu strangled his neck hard , with a very displeased expression.
Bai Ze said awkwardly, "It's just a joke, it's just a joke, Master Lingzun, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..."
He stopped fooling around and answered seriously: "Killing those demon kings and demon soldiers just now was just an appetizer. The damage to Qingqiu Mountain itself was not serious. Those foxes were very smart and sent those foreigners to their deaths.
Of course, the key is that we are now surrounding but not attacking, and we are still waiting for the Immortal Court to show up. We don’t believe that Qingqiu alone can create a national spirit!"
"National spirit? What national spirit?" Mingyu was a little confused.
Bai Ze looked at him in surprise, "You don't know?"
"How would I know?" Mingyu said unhappily.
"Then why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to have fun!"
The young man spread his hands, straightened his back, and spoke as if it was a matter of course.
Bai Ze's face was full of black lines.
He was careless. How could he hope that Ling Zun could do his job well?
So he explained: "National Spirit, as the name suggests, is the spirit of a country. This is what Qingqiu is doing now, in order to revive their old fox who has been dead for who knows how many years.
I don't quite understand how it works in detail, but the current situation is that the old guy seems to have been resurrected and become the national spirit of Qingqiu Kingdom, and his strength is almost at the top!
Also, I don’t know what luck Qingqiu had, but they actually developed something called national luck, which has a mysterious effect. The demon king blessed by national luck can actually withstand a blow from His Majesty the Emperor of the East, which is simply unbelievable.”
Speaking of this, Bai Ze's expression became serious.
"Fortunately, His Majesty Emperor Xi found a way to crack it later, so that the national spirit could not come out for a while, and the effect of the blessing of the national destiny was greatly weakened. Otherwise, we would not be so successful now."
"National spirit? National destiny?"
Mingyu blinked.
Why does this thing sound so familiar?
"Then the old fellow who has become a national spirit cannot leave Qingqiu territory. Even if he can leave, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he will be in a spirit state?"
"That's true." Bai Ze was stunned and nodded.
"Oh, then I understand." Mingyu suddenly realized.
What national spirit or not? It’s just that the old man became a groundbound ghost. I thought it was no big deal.
"At most, Qingqiu is used as a weapon, and now a weapon spirit is added. The method of refining the weapon is made so mysterious."
As for the country's destiny, it is most likely a variation of a clan's destiny, but the effect is indeed quite strong.
Mingyu thought about it and understood what was going on, so she put her arm around Bai Ze's shoulder and entered the central military camp.
"Let's go, let's go. Now that the situation has been decided, we just need to wait for the Immortal Court."
