Chapter 262: The Demonic Tide Surged, and the Smoke of War Began Four Times

Chapter 262: The Demonic Tide Surged, and Smoke of War Rising (The last day for double monthly tickets, please give me monthly tickets~)

"What's the situation in the alliance now?"

Cheng Xinzhan put away his anger and asked about the situation in the east.

Feng Jihu shook his head.

"Not very good. The area south of Hengshan in Sanxiang is a war zone, and the area west of Luofu Mountain in Yuyang is also a war zone."

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised. If that was the case, it would mean that half of Sanxiang had fallen, and more than half of Yuyang had fallen.

"The Demon Cult has been advancing towards the southeast. I remember that when I left Yuyang, the situation was not so bad. After the Green Robe Patriarch ascended to the fifth realm, was the impact so great?"

Feng Jihu nodded.

"Yes, the Green Robe Patriarch is now extremely extraordinary, but the root of his extraordinaryness is not that he has ascended to the fifth realm, but that he has transformed into a true dragon. As for the situation in Yuyang, it has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years."

"Please teach me, brother."

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Feng Jihu continued,
"The Green Robe Patriarch now has two identities. One is the chief leader of the Southern Demon Cult, and the other is the Demon Saint of the South Sea. He can hold the former position firmly because of the latter.

"Long is the leader of all insects, scales, and armored creatures in the world. He is naturally averse to such monsters. In addition, he himself has strong magic skills, so now all scaled insects in and around the coastal areas of the Southern Wasteland obey his orders."

Feng Jihu sighed and asked Cheng Xinzhan,

"Xinzhan, do you know about the Blood Coral Demon Palace in the South China Sea?"

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head.

"I don't know. I've been to the East China Sea, but I'm not familiar with the South China Sea."

Feng Jihu said,
"There are two demons in the Blood Coral Demon Palace in the South China Sea. They are long worms in the sea that have attained enlightenment. They are said to be descendants of dragons and are called the Twin Evils of the South China Sea. One is called Hu Haitao and the other is called Hu Hailong. These two are both four-level demon kings and are usually local tyrants near the South China Sea.

"After the Green Robe Patriarch transformed into a dragon, he went out to sea and defeated the two evil spirits. He then moved the two evil spirits to land and captured Honglu Mountain at the mouth of the Pearl River in Yuyang. It has now been renamed Jiulong Island. He led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the South China Sea to attack Yuyang day and night."

Cheng Xinzhan looked solemn. If the demons from the South China Sea attacked Yuyang from the sea, it would be difficult to defend against.

Feng Jihu continued,
"In Yuyang Zhaoqing Prefecture, upstream of the Xijiang River, there is a Dinghu Mountain. There is a large lake on the mountain, called Dinghu. There is an ancient Zen temple beside the lake, called Qingyun Temple. Do you know this, Xinzhan?"

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. He knew this place.

Dinghushan is a famous scenic spot with mountains and rivers facing each other and lakes coexisting. However, because it is on the bank of Xijiang River and close to Nanhuang, it is also a main attacking place of the Southern School. When he was in Yuyang, he also guarded Qingyun Temple and repelled the invading magic dragon.

"Qingyun Temple has fallen?"

he asks.

Feng Jihu nodded.
"Yes, and not only that, the monks of Qingyun Temple were too tight-lipped. They kept a secret until they abandoned the temple and fled."

"What secret?"

"There is a dragon under Ding Lake."

"what?!"

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised, but he thought about it and immediately reacted. No wonder the demon dragon attacked Qingyun Temple so hard during that period, while the nearby Liuzu Temple, Baolian Temple, and Qixing Temple were attacked by fewer demons. It turned out that there was this connection.

"What kind of dragon is that, and what realm is it in?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked repeatedly.

Feng Jihu's words were bitter.
"A black dragon, of the same kind as the Green Robe Patriarch. The specific origin of the dragon and the Green Robe Patriarch is unknown. The monks of Qingyun Temple only know that it was the founder of Qingyun Temple. But after the Southern School captured Huding Mountain, it was the Green Robe Patriarch who went to Dinghu to unseal the dragon and recognized it as his godson on the spot. Four realms!

"This dragon has the same surname as the Green Robe Patriarch, Li, and his name is Dong Miao. He has now settled down in Dinghu Mountain and is the leader of the Southern School's dragons. Cao Jin is also under his command."

Cheng Xinzhan was silent after hearing this. A fourth-level dragon was equivalent to a fifth-level dragon in the water. Needless to say, Li Dongmiao occupied the upper reaches of the West River, and Hu Haitao and Hu Hailong occupied the river's estuary. With these three fourth-level dragon descendants guarding, the Yuyang section of the Pearl River, including half of Yuyang's land west of the Pearl River, was also completely owned by the Southern School. The middle section of the West River was originally in the Southern Wilderness, and a small section of the upper reaches was in Dianwen, which must have been taken by now.

In this way, the Green Robe Patriarch's Hualong River, from the Xijiang River to the Pearl River where it flows into the sea, this entire water vein is completely in his hands.

A fifth-level true dragon with no weaknesses.

"Any more?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

"Have."

Feng Jihu nodded and continued,

"In Xiang County, Miaojiang, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is a place called the Divine Elephant Well, where there are elephant beasts as big as small mountains. Under the ground here is an elephant monster with a thousand years of Taoism, and it has dragon blood in its body, so it is called the Elephant Dragon.

"The elephant dragon was originally a reclusive demon king who had not come out of the underground cave of the Divine Elephant Well for thousands of years, but he was still found by the Green Robe Patriarch and was invited out of the mountain. It can be said that after the Green Robe Patriarch transformed into a dragon, no scaled insects or dragon descendants could escape his eyes near his dragon transformation site.

"After Xianglong came out of the mountain, he was arranged by the Green Robe Patriarch to guard the Red Hair Patriarch's original dojo, which is Hongmu Ridge, and was responsible for occupying the entire Miao territory."

"besides."

Feng Jihu never stopped talking until he was done with shocking words, and continued,

"Do you know about the Silkworm Fairy?"

Cheng Xinzhan nodded with a heavy face. Just by hearing the name, he knew that this was the same as Wu Qingbo's corpse immortal, another alien silkworm that had achieved enlightenment.

He had heard about this monster earlier when he was traveling in southern Xinjiang. He said that this monster was a master of the Miao region's side sect and had a good relationship with the Miao people. She was also revered as the Celestial Silkworm Fairy and was also in the fourth realm. However, she did not establish a sect like the Red-haired Ancestor, but preferred to practice semi-reclusion.

"She was also recruited by the Green Robe Patriarch and switched from the side sect to the Southern Demon Sect. Now, she has established a sect in Jiuyi Mountain in southern Hunan, called the Heavenly Silkworm Sect. Now, many famous Gu Dao masters in Miaojiang, western Hunan, including Dianwen, are under her command, and the main attack is in Sanxiang.

"Moreover, the Green Robe Patriarch has already spread the word to his subordinates that whoever conquers the four territories of Yuyang, Sanxiang, Miaojiang, and Dianwen around the Southern Wilderness will own them. They will be rewarded according to their merits and be crowned kings!"

Cheng Xinzhan listened and nodded silently. If Xin Chenzi is included in the calculation, there are six people in the fourth realm among the confidants of the Green Robe Patriarch in the Southern School, four of whom are Dragon Descendants. They also received such a promise from the Green Robe Patriarch. No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the Southern School expanded so rapidly.

Then he suddenly remembered something and his face changed again.

"Ten thousand years of cold leech?!"

Feng Jihu knew what he wanted to say, shook his head and said,
"There is no news about Wanzai Frostworm yet. We speculate that Frostworm is a prehistoric alien species with great magical powers. When Changmei Zhenren fought against it, he was seriously injured.

"Perhaps the suppression array is an immortal array, and Green Robe can't find it or can't unlock it, or maybe Green Robe has found it, but thinks he can't subdue it yet, so he dare not unlock it for the time being."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, feeling a little relieved, but still said,
“This will be a big problem sooner or later.”

"Yes."

Feng Jihu also sighed. After a moment of silence, Cheng Xinzhan looked at Wu Qingbo who had been listening silently, and asked,
"Qing Bo, have all the matters concerning your previous life been resolved?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Wu Qingbo nodded.

"My Lord, it's all over. From now on, there will be no Long Boyan in the world, only Wu Qingbo."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and nodded, and reminded,
"From now on, don't call me Benzhu, just call me Guanzhu."

Wu Qingbo was a little hesitant.

Cheng Xinzhan did not allow him to refuse.
"that's it."

Wu Qingbo had no choice but to nod his head.
"Yes, Master."

Cheng Xinzhan looked him up and down and asked,

"Then were your giant body and multi-armed and multi-eyed body eliminated by you, or were they hidden by the art of transformation?"

At the moment, Wu Qingbo was a very tall giant, but compared to the several-zhang body and six-handed twelve-eye vision earlier, it was much more normal. And at such a close distance, Cheng Xinzhan could not see Wu Qingbo's original appearance even with his Dharma Eye.

"Here I am."

Wu Qingbo explained, "There is a transformation technique in the corpse inheritance that allows the appearance of the corpse to be displayed as desired. It is a true magical transformation, not a trick."

"That's fine."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan nodded repeatedly. It seemed that it was right to give all the Shita cultivation methods in the Shita Cave to Wu Qingbo.

"You were born in the Hunan-Miao area and just came here. Do you know anything about the dragon and the silkworm fairy?"

Wu Qingbo nodded and said,
“I know about the Divine Elephant Well in Miaonan Xiang County. It is the territory of the elephant tribe, a very mysterious place. But before, I only knew that there were great monsters of the third realm there. I had never heard of the elephant dragon of the fourth realm. It was not until the year before last that I knew about it when the elephant dragon suddenly occupied Hongmu Ridge.

"As for the Silkworm Fairy, I know her well. She became famous a long time ago. She had been living in seclusion in Bailing Valley at the junction of Miao and Yunnan. Many of our Miao tribes had gone to ask for help from the Gu Mother and received her kindness."

At this point, Wu Qingbo glanced at Cheng Xinzhan and explained carefully,

"I wonder if the master of the temple can understand that in our Wuling, Miaojiang and even Dianwen areas, although Gu Masters are classified as side sects, many of them have joined the Demon Sect. Moreover, in most cases, the side sect and the Demon Sect are inseparable.

"When the righteous path prospers, Gu Masters dare not murder people at will, and they regard themselves as side sects. But when the evil path is rampant, the Gu Masters naturally become evil sects. After all, raising Gu with human blood is more effective than any spiritual object..."

Cheng Xinzhan understood and said,

"Now that the Southern Sect is so powerful and the Silkworm Immortal has taken the lead in joining the Demon Sect, I'm afraid all the side sects in Miao Territory will have to change their affiliations? Even the Three Kings Temple?"

Wu Qingbo nodded slowly, glanced at Feng Jihu again, and said,
"I have the latest news here, I'm afraid even Taoist Feng doesn't know it."

"what news?"

They both asked at the same time.

"It is now the Waking of Insects season, but the spring thunder in Miao territory has yet to sound. Without the spring thunder, the hibernating insects will not wake up, and the Miao people will have no new insects to eat."

"The work of the Green Robe Patriarch?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked immediately, the only one who could interfere with the spring thunder was this fifth-level true dragon.

Wu Qingbo nodded.

"It can only be him. Besides, this year, the Miao villages everywhere went to Bailing Valley to ask for Gu mothers to breed as usual, but Bailing Valley only gave it to the Miao people of the Demon Sect and closed the door to the Miao people of other sects."

The two felt their hearts sink as they listened.

“So, today, at dawn during the Waking of Insects, the Three Kings Temple has spread the word that as long as Green Robe can put aside his feud with the Red Haired Ancestor, control the Tong people in the Southern Wilderness from killing the Miao people in Miao Border, and allow the Miao people to continue to live as usual, the Miao people are willing to submit to Green Robe, no longer support Qinglong Cave, Xianren Cave and Fuxia Lake, and even be willing to let the Southern Faction pass through and invade Southern Shu.”

Wu Qingbo said.

"Did the Green Robe Patriarch respond?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked, but at this moment he already had a guess in his mind.

Wu Qingbo nodded.
"The green-robed ancestor immediately appeared, pointed to the West River, and swore that as long as the Miao people surrendered, they would be treated well. As soon as he said this, the heaven and earth immediately responded. Thunder roared in the sky, shining in the southern border, and the water of the West River surged, visible on both sides."

Hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan and Feng Jihu's hearts sank to the bottom.

Cheng Xinzhan even thought that Hong Changbao should still be in seclusion using secret methods to break through, but now, can he still wait until the moment he comes out?

After Wu Qingbo finished speaking, the few of them sat there for a long time without saying a word, until dawn.

The dim morning light suddenly awakened Cheng Xinzhan from his deep thought. He seemed to have completely forgotten the demonic scene he had heard, and there was no sadness on his face. Instead, he slapped his head and said to the boy,

"Tong'er, go and arrange a room for Brother Dao and Uncle Qing. They have come from a long way, so they should have a good rest. It's my fault for talking too much and making them sit there all night."

The two boys had already been feeling very uncomfortable in the silent temple, and after hearing this, they hurriedly invited one of them.

So Feng Jihu and Wu Qingbo also stood up and went to rest with the two boys. When they passed Cheng Xinzhan on the way, Feng Jihu patted him gently on the shoulders twice.

Cheng Xinzhan responded with a smile.

After the two of them got the message, Cheng Xinzhan also stood up, picked up the "Golden Fire God Lei Feng" on Lan Qi, and went to the backyard.

He walked to the fire pit, sat down, and threw the flying sword into it. The leaping underground fire automatically supported the flying sword.

He felt somewhat emotional. When he first went down the mountain to travel several decades ago, he was in the Qilihe market at the junction of Miaojiang and Southern Wilderness, helping the righteous and unorthodox Miao people to remove dirt from their weapons.

The filth was created by the Southern Demon Cult members using a bunch of dirty stuff. Cheng Xinzhan had forgotten its real name, but he only remembered that the Miao people at the time called it "black mud."

Unexpectedly, after several decades, I was doing this job again, but the filth I removed changed from "black mud" to "ghost lights in the underworld".

However, the means to remove filth is still the Sun Fire. Of course, decades later, the talented kid in Qilihe Market has become a world-famous master of all laws, and the Yang Fire in his hands is no longer the same as it was back then.

I just don’t know what happened to the Miao people who came to me to get rid of their filth back then.

He flicked his finger and a bit of Yang Fire popped out, landing right on the green spot. The evil fire was poisonous, like a maggot attached to a bone, but the Yang Fire was overbearing and could burn everything. In front of the Yang Fire, the evil fire was just fuel.

The difficulty lies only in the thin layer of evil fire. While burning the evil fire, you have to control the fierce yang fire so as not to stimulate or damage the flying sword.

Cheng Xinzhan stared at the flying sword intently, carefully controlling the yang fire. The golden flames were reflected in his pupils, leaping and flickering, as if reflecting that his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
