Immortal and Demon Cultivation

The Eastern Route Army of the Heaven Realm marched eastward from the northern foot of the Yinshan Mountains. They traveled through the border areas along the way and rarely encountered decent cities.

They only encountered some cities and villages when they entered the northern Shanxi region.

However, the people in the northern Shanxi region had already moved in advance. The Heaven Realm Army did not have a major conflict with the human army except for burning houses.

Yunzhou City was the first time that the Eastern Route Army of the Heaven Realm launched an attack on a city with a large number of human troops stationed.

The attack was very sudden. A wave of long-range bombardment by the Sky Fire Beast almost destroyed the defense of the entire northern city of Yunzhou City, and most of the Eight Ox Crossbows were damaged.

As the fireballs of the Sky Fire Beast extended into the city, many fires broke out in the city.

The Sixteen Guards of Tianlin, the famous Jinbei Road, were stationed in Yunzhou City, with a total of 600,000 armored warriors.

The commander was called Xu Fang.

He was the half-brother of Xu Kai, the general manager of the Jinbei Road.

Xu Fang, 48 years old, participated in the Battle of the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland and the Battle of Eagle Cliff ten years ago. At that time, he was a guerrilla general under the old commander Zhao Xianfeng.

Ten years ago, he was a representative of the hawk faction who fought bravely.

Now, he has not been sharpened by the years.

The North City is in danger. Although Xu Fang was shocked, he did not panic. While mobilizing reinforcements in the city to rush to the North City, he organized soldiers to put out the fire in the city.

Xu Fang knew that he could not go back.

The 600,000 Tianlin troops in Yunzhou City could not go back either.

Yunzhou City is the first important town in Datong Prefecture and the first line of defense. His brother put him here to save his life and shut everyone up.

Xu Fang moved the headquarters to a civilian house very close to the wall of the North City and commanded this battle.

The North City has been in close combat.

The first to rush up was the giant army of the heaven.

The eight-bull crossbow on the north city was mostly destroyed by the bombardment of the skyfire beast, and more than a dozen gaps were blown out on the city wall. Even the gate of the north city was blown to pieces, which greatly reduced the defense of the north city.

The giant army relied on its tall body and huge shield to easily rush under the city wall.

Ordinary crossbows did not cause substantial damage to them.

The giant army launched a fierce attack on the damaged city gate, and the Tianlin Army fought bravely.

However, in the close combat in a narrow area, the advantage of the giant army was too great.

The Tianlin Army did not have black gunpowder, so they could only fill it with human lives in waves.

The Yunzhou blocking battle started, and the entire northern Shanxi region was in flames.

General Xu Fang stared at the defense map with red eyes.

A messenger rushed in and shouted, "General! General Qi can't hold on! The brothers have suffered too many casualties, and the north gate has been breached! The gap in the city wall is almost occupied by the enemy in the heaven!"

Hearing this news, more than a dozen generals and staff in the room all advised Xu Fang to retreat as soon as possible.

General Xu Fang roared, "Retreat?

Where to retreat?

Tell Qi Liansheng that he must take back the lost city gate within half an hour! Even if he has to use the bodies of the soldiers, he must completely block the city gate for me! Dispatch the Tianlong Guard, Tianhu Guard, and Tianshi Guard to help the north city! I will sit here and watch to see if there are any cowards in our Tianlin Army who escape in the face of the battle!"

Yunzhou City is very strange now. The battle in the north city is extremely fierce, but the city walls in the other three directions are motionless.

Waves of soldiers quickly gathered towards the north city from the streets in the city and the passages on the city wall.

However, the huge disparity in combat power caused huge losses to the human soldiers.

At the beginning of the war, only the giant army rushed up, and gradually, the enemy's madman army and skeleton army, as well as those bull-headed and horse-faced beasts that were deeply feared by mortals, also rushed up.

This put the entire northern defense line of Yunzhou in jeopardy.

The mortal battlefield is not of much concern to cultivators, but it is not that they do not pay attention.

The news of the Celestial Army's attack on Yunzhou was passed on as soon as possible.

Xu Kai of Niangzi Pass and the emperor of the capital knew it before the bombardment of the Sky Fire Beast ended.

Then, the news spread to Cangyun Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Tianshan Mountain, Xumi Mountain, and the Wilderness Temple in the Western Regions.

It was just a notification to the righteous sects, telling these immortal leaders that the war had started in the north of the Middle Earth.

It was not a notification to the Western Region Holy Fire Sect, but a request for help.

Not only Yunzhou was asking for help from the Demon Sect, but Shanhaiguan was also asking for help from the Demon Sect.

What they asked for was naturally not the cultivators of the Demon Sect, but the forty-seven alien tribes in the Barbarian North controlled by the Demon Sect.

Ten years ago, at the Human Alliance, the Righteous Path and the Demon Cult broke up. In recent years, Yu Jizi has been trying hard to suppress the Demon Cult. One of the means is to control the aid to the Western Regions and grassland tribes.

This has led to almost no communication between the Demon Cult and the Righteous Path in the Middle Earth in the past ten years.

Tuoba Yu had long ago transferred the barbarian northern alien army that entered the pass to the north of Changbai Mountain.

Now the northern war zone is in a state of emergency, and the Middle Earth court needs the assistance of the barbarian northern alien army.

Especially the Feiyu Corps in the northern border is very important for the human world to control the air power in the northern battlefield.

Now it is almost dark in the temple, and the leaders of various factions are preparing to leave.

Suddenly, the news of the war in Niangzi Pass and Shanhaiguan was received. His Majesty the Emperor of the court also hoped that the Demon Cult could dispatch the northern border alien army to cooperate in the battle.

So, the meeting of the temple was extended.

Tuoba Yu asked people to read out several letters for help in public, and many sect leaders in the hall began to discuss.

Tuoba Yu glanced at Ye Xiaochuan beside him and said, "Sect Master Ye, do you think the northern border alien army should be dispatched at this moment?"

Ye Tianci said slowly: "Master Tuoba and the other senior masters don't seem to understand one thing."

Tuoba Yu and the bigwigs in the hall were all stunned.

Tuoba Yu said: "Master Ye, do you want to say that the war between the aliens in the northern border is a war between mortals, and we as cultivators should not interfere?"

Ye Tianci shook his head and said: "No.

What I want to say is that the leader of the forty-seven aliens in the northern border is the demon god Qi Lisi.

Whether to send troops, when to send troops, and how many troops to send should be decided by Qi Lisi alone.

However, the seniors seem to treat the demon god Qi Lisi as a chess piece, and firmly grasp the forty-seven aliens in the northern border in the hands of a few people in the Saint Church, leaving Qi Lisi without any decision-making power."

Everyone looked at each other.

Over the years, they have been accustomed to leading the aliens in the northern border, and few people have remembered that the Saint Church can mobilize the aliens in the northern border only because of Qi Lisi's light.

Ye Xiaochuan's words made all the big guys silent.

They were all old foxes, so they naturally understood what Ye Xiaochuan meant.

In recent years, it seems that the high-level officials of the Temple control the northern border tribes, but in fact, it is controlled by Tuoba Yu alone.

Ye Xiaochuan brought up Qi Lisi at this time and let Qi Lisi regain control of the northern border, just to weaken Tuoba Yu's strength.

However, everyone also knew that Ye Xiaochuan's words were reasonable.

Qi Lisi alone mobilized the northern border tribes, which was the power of the demon god, and it was legitimate.

Tuoba Yu was acting beyond his authority, and his teacher had no reason.

Tuoba Yu himself felt that he was a little guilty and didn't know how to answer.
