389 Convergence of Yan and Wei
At the beginning, the news was only a simple sentence about cui Qing’s death.
He didn’t know how he died or who killed him.
This news had almost stopped the Army of Great Yan.
The situation was too uncertain before further news came, so it was better to be cautious and wait.
The follow-up news arrived very quickly.
Cui Qing had died at the hands of the ghost-faced God, Chen Man.
Xia Cang must have really left and was no longer on the eastern Battlefront.
Previously, after the Qi state was killed by a counterattack, the cautious cui Qing no longer pursued them so closely. He only led the Qi state’s Army and fell far behind.
However, as more and more probes were made and the information collected from all parties became clearer, even the Yan Kingdom knew that Xia Cang was no longer on the Eastern Front. Of course, cui Qing also knew.
He began to lead the Qi Army again, closely pressing the Wei Army, and personally took action, carefully testing the waters a few times.
Then, he realized that Xia Cang was really gone.
As a result, he began to act without restraint, crazily chasing after the Wei Army.
As for the great Wei Army, they had already broken up and retreated to the West. It was inevitable that some of the troops were caught up by the Qi state and destroyed, including two or three Yuanying stage cultivators, who were also killed.
The Wei Army had suffered a great loss, while the Qi Army was advancing triumphantly on the Western expedition.
However, when cui Qing was the most satisfied and killed the famous master, Zhang Shichang, who was disguised as Xia Cang, the Wei Kingdom’s Marquis Weiwu, there was a sudden change.
Two demon-faced demons and a monster that was said to be non-human and completely like an evil demon from the abyss suddenly appeared on the battlefield and attacked cui Qing at the same time.
The power displayed by these three were all at the Dharma plane.
Cui Qing died on the spot, and Qi Ren didn’t even manage to retrieve his corpse. It was taken away by two Chen Mans and that demon.
Three Dharma powers? The level of this demonic disaster had actually developed to such an extent!
From this information, they could tell that Chen man’s strength had increased rapidly!
There were two Chen man’s at the Dharma stage. One of them was his main body, and the other was probably his avatar.
But this was unbelievable.
He should have only advanced to the Dharma stage in recent years. Logically speaking, he should be at the first Dharma stage. At this level, the ‘Void Spirit chart’ wasn’t enough for him to control a Dharma-level clone. If one were to cultivate the void Spirit chart, one would need to be at least at the third level of the transcendence realm to be able to master their first transcendence clone.
On the path of cultivation, the further one went, the higher the gap and difficulty of cultivation between each sub-level. Twenty years ‘time might be enough for a talented Qi refining cultivator to pass through nine levels and break through to the foundation establishment stage. However, for nascent soul cultivators, it would be good enough if they could advance by a small level in twenty years.
And when one reached the materialization realm, the time needed to advance a small level might be even longer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAccording to this, Chen Man, who had just broken through to the Dharma stage a few years ago, had actually managed to raise his strength to the third stage in such a short time?
Even Lu Qing would be shocked by this speed.
The void Spirit manual was that awesome? The inheritance of the void Saint was so powerful?
“No, this can’t be a Suan ni. This shouldn’t be the void Spirit chart or a pure benefit from an ancient inheritance. It can’t be such a large Suan ni.”
This was what Lu Qing was thinking. It was not as if he had not obtained an immemorial inheritance before. In fact, he had obtained it more than once. This level was too exaggerated.
He then recalled the demonic chaos he had seen in dizhou through Ming Heng.
The demons, including Chen man’s initial enlightenment clone, seemed to be doing something like a live sacrifice.
This was most likely the main reason why Chen Man was able to raise his strength so quickly. He didn’t rely on the immemorial inheritance or the void Spirit manual, but on the true gift from the abyss.
The more he pleased the demons, the more he would be favored by the abyss, and at the same time, he would fall even more.
The other thing that didn’t look like a human and looked like a monster should be the big evil demon that Chen Man had summoned from the abyss with a large number of live sacrifices.
In total, almost two states had fallen into Chen man’s hands. The countless population and cultivators in these two regions would become important resources for Chen Man to please the abyss and open the abyssal passage.
With these resources, Lu Qing estimated that this fellow had really created a temporary abyssal passage and summoned a great demon at the materialization realm.
Cui Qing’s body, along with his Dharma form, had fallen into Chen man’s hands. This was a huge nightmare.
Using the corpse and soul of a Dharma adept to escape
Needless to say, another Dharma plane cultivator would appear in Chen man’s camp, and it would most likely be a Dharma plane demon.
This meant that the human cultivators would have to face three Dharma power opponents. Chen Man had a Dharma power clone with him, which meant that he would have a fourth Dharma power.
The pressure was as great as the sky. historical
At this point, even Weiyun, who didn’t care much about the devil’s chaos and thought that this was Wei country’s matter, was panicking.
According to his previous thoughts, there was at most one Chen Man who had just entered the Dharma stage in the demonic chaos. The Wei Kingdom had two Dharma laksana, so how could they be stumped by this Chen Man?
But now, it seemed that the Xuanji Wei Kingdom might not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, it seemed that the situation was going to get worse.
Xia Cang was not on the eastern Battlefront, and cui Qing was dead. Then, the demonic chaos would spread to the East and South, and there was no way to stop it.
It would be fine if they went south, but neither the Wu State in the southeast nor the Chu State in the southwest would sit back and do nothing. Of course, they could also obtain such important information on the battlefield of Qi and Wei, and they would not fail to realize the severity of the situation. In order to prevent the demonic chaos from spreading to their own country, they would probably also take action.
At the very least, Lu Qing had already sent the emissaries from the Yan Kingdom to communicate with the Wu and Chu kingdoms.
But to the East, after cui Qing’s death, he was completely out of tricks.
At the moment, the most worrying thing was that if they couldn’t get rid of Chen Man and the two Dharma adepts that were expected to appear as soon as possible, once the demonic chaos spread to the East, to the Qing and Xu provinces, and even to the Qi Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom would not be able to resist.
If two prefectures gave birth to a great evil demon, what about four prefectures, six prefectures, or even a country?
Perhaps, at that point, it would not be as simple as having a few more Dharma plane great evil demons.
...
That might really be a world-ending disaster.
......
In just three days, Great Yan and Wei had reached an agreement: The two sides temporarily stopped fighting.
The Army of the Yan Kingdom would stop at the northern part of Xu Prefecture. If Xu Prefecture was under siege, the Army of the great Yan Kingdom would come to the rescue according to the situation.
The main reason why it was ‘dependent on the situation’ was that he was worried that the Wei Kingdom would go back on their word. If the Yan Kingdom fought to the death with the evil spirits and possessed people, and the Wei Kingdom did not allow the Yan Army to retreat to Xu City, it would be too unbearable.
After all, even if the two countries had reached a temporary truce and planned to fight side by side, it was difficult to really help and trust each other.
In addition, the Army of the Yan Kingdom would also organize a group of high-level cultivators. Under the leadership of Lu Qing and Wei Yun, they would head to dizhou and venture deep into the region to search for high-level possessed cultivators and demons to kill.
Of course, the most important thing was to find Chen Man and quickly kill him.
Obtaining cui Qing’s body did not mean that he could immediately summon a Dharma plane great evil demon. He would need some time.
And this was also a golden opportunity.
If this dragged on, who knew what would happen next?
...
The past few months had been a nightmare for the Wei country.
Of course, the reason why great Yan helped Wei State in the war was, on one hand, because if the lips die, the teeth will feel cold-although this pair of lips and teeth had been fighting madly in the past-on the other hand, they would also be able to get a lot of benefits from Wei State.
Of course, Great Yan would not work for free.
Lu Qing knew more about the truth, and he was more eager to destroy the sinister devil. However, even he was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others and provide help for free. The benefits and rewards that he should get could not be any less.
The entire matter was discussed with Wei Yun and Lu Qing by the Emperor of Wei and Xia Cang.
Xia Cang was a powerful and influential official in the Wei State. As for the two Wei emperors, one golden core cultivator, and the current one who had just reached the nascent Soul Stage, he would not be able to live past Xia Cang.
Logically speaking, even if there was a huge difference in strength, the instinct of an Emperor would definitely have some opinions about such a powerful official. As a person who had held the military and political power of Wei State for hundreds of years, it would not be good for him to face the Emperor, who was much younger than him, weaker than him, and sitting on his head.
But it wasn’t like this.
The military and political system of Wei country was very stable. The relationship between the Wei Emperor and Xia Cang was that of a sovereign and subject. When Xia Cang became famous and was in charge of the Wei state’s military and political power, the two generations of Wei emperors trusted this great general and listened to his words. However, he didn’t feel like a puppet. As an official, Xia Cang had always done a good job in etiquette and posture, giving the Wei Emperor the respect he deserved.
And this respect was not just on the surface. He would give the Wei Emperor reasonable suggestions, but he would absolutely follow the Wei Emperor’s will. Even if it was a very unreasonable request, he would carry it out without hesitation after his persuasion failed.
When everyone first learned of Xia Cang’s position in the Wei Kingdom, they would think that he was a powerful official. After knowing the truth, they would be dumbfounded.
Xia Cang was a true role model of a Minister.
During the negotiation process, Xia Cang was still fighting for the interests of great Wei. Of course, they knew that only the Yan Kingdom could help them now. They also knew that after this war, the Wei Kingdom would need many years to heal their wounds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut even so, he still displayed his unyielding attitude.
After all, if the Wei Kingdom was really finished, the demonic chaos would be completely uncontrollable, and the Yan Kingdom would not be able to escape.
The tug-of-war between the two sides was very intense, and there was even a time when the negotiations almost fell apart.
However, all of these were very obvious signs. In fact, the speed at which the two sides reached an agreement was very fast. It had only been three days.
The Wei Kingdom would cede the entire Hezhou and Yingzhou to the Yan Kingdom.
This was like vomiting blood, especially Yingzhou, which was a very rich province. Among the seven provinces owned by the Yan Kingdom, perhaps only Wuzhou was slightly better than Yingzhou. As for the river Prefecture, it was only slightly inferior to the Ji Prefecture.
The Wei State had a total of ten states. Dizhou was gone. Half of Xuzhou and more than half of Huaizhou had been destroyed by the demonic uprising. It was the same in terms of population and production capacity. It was unknown how long it would take to recover. Almost half of the territory of Xuanji, which was ceded to the Yan Kingdom, was gone.
However, that was not all they had to pay. They had to pay for the ‘military expenses’ for the entire Yan Army.
The military expenditure was thirty million spirit stones.
It was very expensive.
The Wei Kingdom was, of course, rich, but they also raised a large number of troops and provided a large number of cultivators. Especially this time, they had launched a war to destroy the Qi state, which had obviously used almost all of their strength. In the North, they had to defend against the invasion of the Yan Kingdom and had prepared a large number of troops. However, they were also destroyed when the Yan Kingdom attacked the South.
If two more provinces were ceded and two more were destroyed, it would be a huge problem for the Wei Kingdom to pay the money after the war.
But this was something to be discussed after the war.
After the agreement was signed, there was no more bickering between the two countries. Weiyun and Lu Qing led an elite group of cultivators that only had a few hundred people. They crossed the xudu city and entered dizhou.
Xia Cang had already informed them of their location in advance. They were now in Hu Han County, the place where the turmoil had first occurred.
Hu Han County had already become a Dead City. It was completely motionless. However, when the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom entered the county, the entire city immediately went into a frenzy. Many possessed cultivators rushed out and attacked the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom without fear of death.
Of course, the average strength of these possessed people was very low, and the main force had obviously been taken away. Therefore, they did not pose any threat to the group of elite cultivators led by two Dharma adepts and were quickly killed.
Following that, Xia Cang and Zheng Yu brought their men to the ghost-faced God Valley.
Logically speaking, this was Chen man’s home ground, and the void Spirit Qi that covered the area would have a fatal effect on normal decorations. Only two Dharma idols could remain unaffected for a period of time.
The two of them entered together, their attitudes somewhat determined.
However, they did not find any traces of Chen Man.
At this time, they received the news that Chen Man had appeared on the eastern battlefield and killed cui Qing.
After that, they realized that the situation could not be solved by Wei alone, so they quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Yan.
After reaching an agreement, Xia Cang and Zheng Yu did not choose to advance rashly. Instead, they stayed in Hu Han County and waited to meet up with the Yan people.
After the two sides joined forces, their attitude towards each other was of course not too close. However, with a great enemy in front of them, it was fine if they weren’t close. Although they fought side by side, they didn’t need to cooperate with each other too much. They just needed to be divided into two parts.
Although their team didn’t have many people, they were all high-level cultivators. There were many golden core cultivators and a double-digit number of nascent soul cultivators.
No matter how exaggerated the demonic chaos was, it couldn’t keep them.
Of course, he could only win in the Dharma battlefield in advance.
