Chapter 217 – Chess Players Have Appeared
Chapter 217 – Puppet Players Are Arriving One After Another
As a precautionary measure, Li An had left yet another puppet in the original Yan territory-
After he arrived at the late Jindan stage, the upper limit of the number of puppets he could control was only five. If it was a normal day, he would not be willing to refine puppets.
But this time, when he was playing with an existence like Shangguan Shengxian, where would he dare to hold back!
On his way out of Yan and back to the Heavenly Fate Mountain Range, Li An heard the news that the demon army had taken down the Moon Kingdom!
This news was extremely shocking and had already spread throughout the entire Xiling Yuan Continent within a day.
“The demon race’s army is coming, the end of the war has begun!”
“What’s going on …… How did the Demon Race come all of a sudden.”
“Obviously, this is to take advantage of Princess Gu Hong’s big wedding to give the Great Li Empire a downward spiral ah, on the first day, the entire Moon Kingdom was swept away …… I’m afraid, a big war is inevitable!”
For a time, many big forces in Xiling Yuanzhou were concerned, weak clans and other small clans were terrified, and some sects that were closer to the Moon Kingdom directly began to migrate, temporarily leaving for fear of being taken down by the Demon Clan.
The effect that Li An wanted was already starting to unfold.
Even, it was more violent than what he wanted!
……
Returning to the Heaven’s Fury Mountain Range, Li An immediately went to see She Anqi and Armor Man.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, we were looking for you.”
She Anqi smiled, “The next battle plan needs to be refined and fine-tuned by you-“
Li An arched his hand towards the two of them and said, “I went to Da Li, if nothing goes wrong over there, the people from the Hall of Immortal Talent will definitely come to the Heavenly Fury Mountain Range.”
“This is our best chance, being able to destroy the Immortal Talent Hall in its entirety is more important than taking down the Ten Moon Kingdom!”
Both of them nodded.
“I would like to ask General Karman, to sit in the Heaven’s Fury Mountain Range-“
Li An said, handing a formation diagram to Karman, “This is the details of Lin’s formation, all the general needs to do is to wait for the enemy to enter the net and then stimulate the entire formation, and then he will be able to destroy them all-“
This formation diagram he had partially covered up, on the surface it appeared to be nothing more than killing formations hooked together, ordinary people or even third or fourth order formation experts could not see the real details.
Armor Man was however a bit surprised, and subconsciously glanced at She Anqi.
This kind of big event, actually letting him do it?
Destroying the Hall of Immortal Talent was a first-class achievement, and Lin An didn’t want it?
She Anqi was also slightly surprised, and said to Li An, “Fellow Daoist Lin, you’ve been working hard to plan and strategize, aren’t you going to do it yourself?”
Li An, however, smiled, “Mister Lin’s cultivation is low, he can’t support this grand formation, for the sake of the rise and fall of the entire demon race, how can he care about his personal honor and disgrace?”
“Nowadays dealing with the Da Li Empire is important, please General Armor Man does not have to excuse himself-“
Although She Anqi was still puzzled in her heart, she didn’t ask anything more, and immediately nodded her head towards Armor Man.
A-Man got up and saluted towards She Anqi, “Please rest assured, General, my subordinate will not dishonor my mission!”
……
Arranging all this.
Li An’s own territory, he entered within the Yunqi Valley.
Here, was his chosen hub!
After the Zi Mu Grand Formation erupted, those who came would be blasted to death, while the demonic blood of the Immortal Talent Hall crowd would be channeled by the formation to converge here.
A stone cave, thousands of meters deep underground, at the end of which, Li An had placed a Spirit Locking Jade Box…
The Spirit Locking Jade Box can isolate the probing of divine sense and shield the qi emitted by the items inside the box, and is generally used to hide the heaven and earth spirit medicine and elixir that have given birth to their own consciousness.
Li An silently deduced in his head, when the Zi Mu Grand Formation blasted and killed all the people of the Immortal Talent Hall, and the demonic blood was introduced here, the entire Heavenly Fury Mountain Range would be reduced to rubble, and the Yunqi Valley would be razed to the ground……. This Spirit Locking Jade Box is hidden thousands of meters deep in the ground, which is difficult for divine sense to probe, so it should be safe.
Li An returned to the palace and waited silently.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, the last day arrived-
Today, it was the day that Gu Hong, the First Princess of Da Li, and Fei Tianqi, the Saint Son of the Hall of Immortal Talent, were to be married!
……
Da Li.
Fei Tianqi had already arrived at Tianyang City, the northern border of Da Li, yesterday, and along with him, there were also five hundred geniuses from the Immortal Talent Hall.
It was natural for everyone to come and participate in this kind of event.
In Tianyang City, people from all the major forces had also come, the Blood Yuan Sect and Taiyi Sect from the Xiling Yuan Continent, the Dongfeng Pavilion from the East Robberies Continent, the Heavenly Sword Sect from the Central Heavenly Continent and so on, all of them were not hegemonic masters of one side of the land.
This big wedding, even in the entire history of the Imperial Yuan Realm, was not rare –
“The auspicious time has arrived, the groom departs to receive the bride-“
Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, Fei Tianqi boarded the spirit boat, which was a fourth-ranked magic weapon, and the entire boat was covered in red ribbons, lanterns, and the like, making it spacious and luxurious.
On both sides of the flanks, there are a full hundred third-order spirit boats to supplement, a great momentum.
Spirit boat start, to quench the moon valley quench the moon palace, meet his bride today – Gu Hong.
Above the spirit boat, the wind whistled past his ears, but Fei Tianqi didn’t have much joy, instead, he kept pursing his lower lips – he
seemed to be rather anxious.
But back and forth, he finally can only a sigh, things have come to this point, can only be so –
The spirit boat was extremely fast, and within a short time, it had already crossed over the Cloud Illusion Mountain Range and saw the Cold Moon Valley from afar-
“Stop the boat!”
Fei Tianqi suddenly spoke-
The crowd all looked towards him.
“This place is less than thirty miles away from the Quenching Moon Valley, so as a sign of sincerity, Tianqi will travel on foot to greet Princess Gu Hong!”
He spoke aloud.
Immediately, the spirit boat landed and waited on top of a clearing.
He, on the other hand, directly stepped towards the front.
On top of the spirit boat to the left, the other people from the Immortal Talent Hall were inexplicably pondering at this moment –
……
“Report–“
The Northern Capital of the Great Li.
“Report! The Demon Race’s 100,000 strong army has penetrated deep into the hinterland, the Jiang Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Lin Kingdom is in a state of emergency-“
“Report! The Lin Kingdom can’t support itself, it’s already broken, the Lin Kingdom’s royal family has been slaughtered–“
“Report! The three kingdoms of Qiong, Bei’an, and Li have been invaded, and the number of demon armies is unknown–“
The frontline battle reports came in frantically!
A few days ago, the news of the Demon Race’s army coming out of the Heavenly Fury Mountain Range and taking down the Moon Kingdom had already spread throughout the Xiling Yuan Continent, raising the continent’s attention, and now that the war reports have been coming in succession, the major powers that have come to the Northern Capital to participate in the wedding are even more shaken!
“The demon army actually came how many ……” “Such speed, this is to annex Xiling Yuanzhou?!”
“Could it be that a full-scale attack has been launched?!”
Many people were alarmed.
At first, everyone thought that the Demon Domain’s side, at most, would take advantage of the occasion of Da Li’s wedding ceremony to nuisance the border, and wouldn’t dare to come in for a full-scale attack.
After all, although everyone knew that the Demon Region and Da Li would more than likely have a battle sooner or later, the conflicts between the two today were far from being intensified to the point of life and death.
But now, so many battle reports ……
“The large army that the Demon Race has utilized is at least around half a million!”
“More than that, if it’s just half a million, the speed won’t be this fast …… million demon army!”
“What to do ……”
The people were all talking, while the Northern An Country, Lin Country, and so on, the cultivators who had come to participate in this event, couldn’t sit still and hurriedly got up.
“Your Holiness, the demon race is rampant, please send troops to exterminate it immediately-“
“Your Holiness, our country is dominated by Da Li, and now that it has been broken by the Demon Domain, please save our country from the danger!”
“I have the audacity to ask Your Holiness for a million troops to exterminate the demonic atmosphere!”
They went up to the hall and asked for orders from the White Tiger Empress.
However, the White Tiger Empress sat on top of the hall, the White Tiger Reality of the past, now with more of an emperor’s dominance, she calmly said, “All matters, wait until the princess finishes her marriage-“
Ignore!
The group of cultivators looked at each other in dismay, but there was nothing they could do, so they had no choice but to retreat first.
The White Tiger Empress beckoned, and an old man had stepped out of the shadows, and she sent a question in secret:
“How’s it going over at Xiling?”
The old man respectfully said, “Your Majesty, as you expected, the Xiling side has already discovered some of the traces of the Demon army, the Demon Domain this time, is sounding the east to strike the west, our army is already waiting at the Xiling, ready to fight with the Demon Domain at any time!”
The White Tiger Empress nodded and waved her hand, the old man immediately disappeared.
The biggest reason why she did not save the kingdoms …… was that she had already sent her main force, to another place!
The old man just disappeared, another person has quietly appeared, “Your Holiness, we found a person, this person first wandered around the northern capital, and along the way went to the area around the Quenching Moon Valley …… should be a puppet!”
The White Tiger Empress was instantly startled, her eyes narrowed slightly as she said, “It seems that Li An is going to show up?”
“Don’t scare the snakes, keep an eye on them.”
She immediately rose from her jade seat and turned to the rear.
Inside a very clean compartment, a sickly young girl, was fiddling with an ancient zither.
“Master, as you expected, there are traces of the demon race’s army over in the Western Tomb, Li An’s traces have appeared within the northern territory, and at the same time, a large army has appeared in the Heaven’s Fury Mountain Range, attacking the city and coming in with great force ……”
The hallowed White Tiger Empress was actually very respectful in front of this sickly young girl dressed in plain clothes.
The sickly young girl stopped stroking the zither, raised her eyes and smiled faintly, saying, “It is really interesting, that demon queen wants to sound the east and strike the west to take the things of the West Mausoleum, and Li An also wants the demon queen to borrow the momentum of sounding the east and striking the west to come to the rescue of Dali …… These two people have a similar mind, as if they have discussed the same thing. ”
White Tiger Empress said, “That demon queen is not simple, she also laid out to harm Fei Tianqi in a vain attempt to get the book of the Dao, if it is not Fei Tianqi who understands the situation and takes the initiative to report it, we are still really being kept in the dark ……”
— Out of Li An’s expectation, Fei Tianqi directly stabbed out to report!
But perhaps to Li An’s relief, his various details of the arrangement worked, the White Tiger Empress, also think that against Fei Tianqi is the Demon Race Demon Queen, not Li An.
Mainly, Li An did not have such energy!
The demon race million army out of the Heavenly Fury Mountain Range, and then the layout of the Xiling …… All of this, obviously only the highest level of the demon domain can do it.
Moreover, the bane crystals used for Fei Tianqi s cultivation, after identification, are Heavenly Demon bane crystals!
All of these things made them walk into the middle of a misunderstanding –
“It doesn’t matter, let him go, I’ve arranged for someone to follow.”
The sickly young girl spoke calmly, “Well, when it’s time to receive the bride, Fei Tianqi should go to the Heavenly Fiend Mountain Range to sing, and the drama on Da Li’s side has to follow.”
The White Tiger Empress nodded.
……
Deep within the Demon Domain, on top of a mountain peak, a huge Demon Palace towered over it.
“Your Majesty, the two Demon Kings, Green Dragon and White Tiger, leading the main force of our army, have arrived at Xiling.”
She Anrong reported.
Tan Qingxue sat on top of the emperor’s seat as she pondered, “On the side of the Heaven’s Fury Mountain Range, has Da Li not yet sent out troops?”
She Anrong shook her head, “We haven’t encountered any resistance yet, Anqi leading the army has already broken seven countries in a row!”
Tan Qingxue pondered for a moment, then mused, “It seems that our plan of sounding out the east and striking the west is likely to be recognized by Da Li……. Let Qinglong and the others press on with their troops and scout carefully, if I’m not wrong, Da Li’s main force should be in Xiling as well.”
–She sent troops out of the Heavenly Fury Mountain Range this time, not just because of Li An.
More so, because, she had other plans as well!
Xiling!
Sound off to the east and snatch the Western Mausoleum.
But now that She Anqi’s side had not encountered large scale resistance, she instantly and acutely realized ……
that her ploy had been seen through!
“There is a high ranking person in Da Li ah ……”
She whispered softly, “This high person, where would he be at this moment?”
After pondering for a long time, she suddenly said, “Keep a close eye on the side of the Heaven’s Fury Mountain Range, and report to me as soon as you have news.”
She Anrong nodded and left immediately.
“My ploy was seen through, Xiling has mostly become a confrontation, the way to break the situation is on the side of the Heavenly Fury Mountain Range …… Li Lang, what exactly are you calculating?”
“Are you able to cause some changes?”
Her beautiful eyes seemed to carry questions and a hint of anticipation.
