Chapter 485: The war begins and the situation of attacking from both sides (transition chapter)
In front of the glacier pass.
Thousands of miles of ice and snow, the mighty river was frozen into light blue crystals by the low temperature, and the extremely cold North Storm was blowing around.
This kind of storm is one of the most dangerous environments in Glacier Pass.
Rumor has it that it was an ice storm that blew out from the depths of the endless ice field, bringing with it a faint breath of frozen demonic element. And because of the Glacier Pass, going further north will lead to the seldom-inhabited Beilan.
It is regarded as the last threshold for Taihu Lake to step into the endless ice field, so it is also commonly known as the "Beilan Ice Storm".
This dangerous environment with spiritual power also has an impact on spiritual consciousness. The cultivators below the Jindan stage cannot see what the deep part of the ice looks like at all.
This leaves room for the "water ghost" tactics to be used.
The walls of Binghe Pass are a thousand feet high. They are all built with frozen stones from the northern plains that have been frozen for who knows how many years. They are no weaker than the lapis lazuli used to build Dongji Capital.
The Biyun Sect has spent a lot of money to control this pass over the years, and has set up formations and forbidden air spells, which has completely brought this pass under control.
At this moment.
Under pressure from the Liantian Demon Sect, the large army of the Mingshan Sect had to send a total of 23 Nascent Soul cultivators, thousands of Jindan cultivators, and tens of thousands of foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators.
In addition to the high-end combat power, half of them are independent cultivators recruited from Chiyuan. For this group of low-level demon cultivators who are afraid of chaos in the world.
War is also a perfect opportunity to grow your strength.
Except for some guys who are naturally vigilant and value their lives, almost everyone will respond. This ragtag army is the main force attacking Glacier Pass today.
The great master Bishop Youpeng and the strongest warrior under his command, Demon Lord Yinjiao, also concentrated their forces on the battlefield of Binghe Pass.
Only the cultivator from Hanxue Peak who belongs to the Nilingxue Sect has temporarily disappeared.
Inside the Glacier Pass.
The Old Ancestor Hongyun of the Biyun Sect, Master Huanghe, the Taoist Master Jinyan of the Lieyang Sect, the Taoist Master Huode, one Nascent Soul cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection, three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, and a Fire Crow King who had reached the late Fourth Stage.
There are a total of five top fighters, among which Patriarch Hongyun is the only one who has reached the great perfection. He is the support force recently deployed to Binghe Pass by Biyun Sect.
As for the cultivators in the early to middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there were twenty in total from the two sects plus a few Nascent Soul masters who came from the Sword Sect, who were barely able to achieve a balance with the masters of the magic cultivation.
After all, they are the ones defending the city. They are not under as much pressure as the attackers, and they have the advantage of geographical location to defend. Unless something unexpected happens, what they are fighting is actually a war of attrition.
It all depends on who has more people and who has deeper foundation.
Better able to withstand casualties!
In the meeting hall of Binghe Pass, Patriarch Hongyun has the highest seniority and the strongest power, so he basically has the final say, and others have to give him some face.
He was the first to speak.
"The Dark Mountain Cult has been fighting timidly before, which shows that it does not want to consume too much strength. It is pessimistic about this war between good and evil, and wants to reap huge profits after the war.
“Now that they have come out in full force, it can be seen that the venerables of the Liantian Demon Sect are exerting pressure. In addition to the situation at Binghe Pass, we also need to be wary of Shuiyun Province and Fengzhou in the south.
"My friend from the Sword Sect, do you have any clear support information from your sect?"
Obviously, in the eyes of Patriarch Hongyun.
No matter how much pressure the Dark Mountain Cult puts on them, they are unable to break through the defenses of the Glacier Pass.
Therefore.
Shift the focus to the southern part of Biyun Sect’s territory.
This idea can neither be said to be right nor wrong.
After all, this purpose has always been one of the strategic goals of the Liantian Demon Sect. Starting a war on two fronts will inherently carry the risk of losing one while focusing on the other.
Besides, now the entire Chiyuan demon cultivation camp is attacking the Biyun Sect, which is a soft persimmon. The southern battlefield, which is facing the main forces of Huangquan Temple and Nilingxue Sect, is extremely precarious.
This is still the case even if the seven righteous sects sent support teams.
The pressure is on!
In this situation, Patriarch Hongyun would not tolerate any mistakes or omissions. He would personally check every detail.
The one being questioned in the hall was one of the Sword Sect's seventy-two peak masters, a young Nascent Soul known as the [Nine-Layer Sword Lord], whose cultivation had barely reached the third Nascent Soul level.
Facing the question from Patriarch Hongyun, he spoke with a very respectful attitude.
"This matter is a top secret of the sect, so I cannot reveal too much, but I can tell you the bottom line. Even if the Demon Lord takes action, the Biyun Sect will not be defeated."
What he meant was that the Sword Sect's Master had taken action.
As soon as these words came out.
It was like a reassurance pill, which quickly stabilized the mentality of the Yuanying people in the field.
"In this case, as long as we hold the Glacier Pass, the battle line will not move further back. This is good news."
of course.
The premise is to be able to hold on.
Taoist Jin Yan suddenly spoke.
"The people from Frost Blood Peak have not revealed their whereabouts yet. They are probably still unwilling to give up on the bandit Kuang Mei. There is also the beast Jifa Demon Lord, who is hiding in the Northern Demon Clan without revealing any trace.
"They are all targets we need to be wary of. Also...if the Northern Demon Clan attacks, can we stop them?"
This hits the nail on the head, even though no one has mentioned it.
But everyone knows that Wang Yu's relationship with the Northern Demon Clan is unclear, and although the Biyun Sect spent some resources to ask the Fire Crow Clan of the Northern Demon Clan for help.
However, this covenant is not firm and can be easily torn up unilaterally. This possibility can be seen from the return of Soul Yuanjun when he returns.
People don't say anything, in fact they are deliberately ignoring it.
After all, the reality is that if the Northern Demon Clan participates in the war with all their strength, they will only be able to hold the Glacier Pass if the number of strong men at the Pass is doubled.
and this.
They will also be assigned to the two battlefields of Binghe Pass and Kuang Meishan.
What is more important needs to be weighed by the commander, who adheres to the "simple" idea that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make, and nothing is wrong.
No one mentioned it until Taoist Jin Yan, who was eager to make a contribution, broke the window paper.
The hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other in silence.
at this time.
Ancestor Hongyun stepped forward and said.
“We can only be on guard against this matter, but we cannot be sure of it.
"In addition, there is another piece of good news. Some time ago, the people from Zhenbei Tower passed on the news that they would send out an elite force to reinforce the Glacier Pass battlefield."
Everyone was cheered up, and then looked at each other.
"Zhenbei Tower? They didn't take any action in the last, last, and last battle between good and evil. They just stayed in that ruined tower and practiced hard. How could they come out?"
This person's words are almost the voice of everyone.
After the surprise came worry. Although Zhenbei Tower was certified by the Sword Sect as one of the seven righteous sects, its disciples rarely walked around outside.
Spend most of your life in the endless ice field.
The outside world lacks understanding of them, and whether they have the ability to turn the tide is still unknown. It is normal for them to be doubted and distrusted.
Patriarch Hongyun continued.
“The specific situation is unclear, but the evil thief seems to have done something in the Endless Ice Field that violated the taboo of Zhenbei Tower, which caused them to take action.
"Let them guard the fortress of Kuangmei Mountain. There shouldn't be any problems."
The meeting at Glacier Pass did not last long.
As horns sounded in the distance, the noise grew louder and louder.
A large number of demon cultivators flew over from a low altitude, throwing all kinds of magical instruments, talismans, and even bloody and evil objects towards Zhenbei Pass.
The high altitude to the Gangfeng layer is the battlefield for Nascent Soul cultivators.
After the battle of Binghe Pass started, the battle to capture Kuangmei Mountain also started simultaneously!
…………
…………On the Kuangmei Mountain, which was unknown how high it was, the monks of the Hanxue Peak poured out from the base camp. Wang Yu had already put on the Demon Dragon Armor, holding a three-pointed, two-edged spear, and was followed by a snow-white fox.
Foxes are also canines, so they can be considered a "laughing fox". It followed Wang Yu closely, looking around nervously.
For her.
This is the first time to participate in such a large-scale war, so it is understandable that you feel worried, Wang Yu advised.
"Follow me closely if the situation warrants it. If the situation is dangerous, try to stay away from me."
This statement may seem contradictory, but in fact, Wang Yu is worried that he is too famous and would easily become a target of public criticism. In this case, Xueyu's help is dispensable.
It still requires his attention to take care of her, so the right thing to do is to stay away from her as much as possible.
If they are not besieged and are able to use guerrilla warfare or hunting tactics one by one, the control ability that Snow Jade can provide will be very good.
It is equivalent to making two presets in advance.
This attack on Kuangmei Mountain was actually a feint just like the Binghe Pass, and the main force of the Northern Demon Clan was not here.
do not forget.
The Beiduanjie Mountains serve as a barrier between Taihu Lake and Chiyuan, but to the Northern Demon Clan, Binghe Pass and Kuangmei Mountain are not insurmountable natural barriers.
The whole side of the mountain range was accessible to them.
Those traps and restrictions accumulated from many wars were not a problem at all for the Northern Demon Clan living in the mountains. They knew better than human cultivators which places were dangerous.
Therefore, the Five Colors Holy Lord wanted to swallow up the entire Biyun Sect.
So I made this choice.
The demons kept attacking, and the Northern Demons went around from behind. The two sides surrounded them and dealt a fatal blow. It was simple and crude but very practical.
The reason for the attack is poor intelligence.
This tactic may seem unnecessary, but it is actually a pursuit of greater results. Wang Yu could not help but want to collect his Nascent Soul so that he could use the opportunity of the fight to calm his boiling Qi Sea.
So he chose to act together with his own people from Hanxue Peak.
The main battlefield is definitely at Binghe Pass. It would be good enough if Kuang Meishan could keep five or six Nascent Souls. He killed two of them a few years ago, so the defense is even weaker.
therefore.
It was just a precautionary measure for Xueyu. Deep down, he didn't feel that it would cause any trouble to him.
at that time.
The Sky Frost Demon Lord, who had had several interactions with Wang Yu, was also wearing a set of frost demon armor with maximum defense, holding his own magic weapon, the Sky Frost Halberd, and spoke to Wang Yu.
“Brother Wang Dao, in the battle later, if you have enough energy, please take care of the cultivators of the four Frostblood Clans. Only the Frostblood Peak branch of our sect has come to the Glacier Pass…”
The once unruly Demon Lord Tianshuang now calls him "Brother Daoist" all the time, and he is so enthusiastic.
Wang Yu's alchemy cooperation with him went quite smoothly.
I still remember that he had stolen several Taiyin Demon Yuan Pills from him. As for the Cheng, Chu, Xue... those four clans also had a good cooperative relationship with Wang Yu.
He was provided with many rare and valuable materials with cold and yin properties.
In this matter, Wang Yu could only say that it was a piece of cake.
If it affects his own safety, he will not save them.
Demon Lord Tianshuang understood and agreed with this point. Even though he was the eldest brother of the four cold-blooded clans, he would not risk his life to save them.
Just put yourself in their shoes.
After Demon Lord Tianshuang left, Fairy Bingpo came over on her own initiative for the first time, after the effects of the Jiaoluan Pill over the years had been completely digested.
The two had only had one accidental dual cultivation experience.
There was no communication after that.
“Wang Yu, after this battle, I will be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection within 20 years, and I believe I will have no rivals on Kuangmei Mountain.
"If you are in danger, I can save you once for Bao Dan's sake. From now on, we will not owe each other anything and will forgive each other."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Wang Yu to respond.
He fled to the front of the team without looking back, which surprised Wang a little.
Fairy Bingpo's words showed that she was worried about his safety.
of course.
You can say he is being sentimental, but judging from his experience... it doesn't seem like it~
Wang Yu was thinking about it in his mind.
Another big boss from the Zhuo family at Hanxue Peak, Old Man Lanxin, also came to him and started chatting with him as if they were waiting in line.
"Friend Wang, hearing about him is worse than meeting him in person. You are indeed a man of outstanding talent, with outstanding appearance and grace."
"Senior Lan Xin, thank you for your compliment."
Although he assisted in killing Zhuo's Jiaoyang Old Demon, Wang Yu and Zhuo's relationship was still close on the surface, and this matter had never been exposed.
The blame was put on Chi Tian.
If we were to say who hates Chi Tian the most, it would have to be someone from the lineage of the old demon Jiaoyang. Although this old man Lan Xin is not from that lineage, he still holds a friendly attitude towards Wang Yu.
Some greetings and small talk.
Old Man Lan Xin also hinted to Wang Yu that if he encountered danger, he could ask him for help and he would help!
This is one of the benefits of being in a powerful position.
Unlike powerful independent cultivators, even if they are recruited, it is difficult for them to enter the real core circle, and most of them end up as heavyweight cannon fodder.
Wang Yu wanted to return to the Nilingxue Sect, not because he had a strong sense of belonging to the sect, but to take advantage of the situation as one of the five sects of the demonic path.
Possesses the ability to stably produce Nascent Soul cultivators.
There are also the hidden secrets of the Ice Prison Realm, the profound and core inheritance, and the numerous personal networks that have been built up over hundreds of years, which are all things that are difficult to give up.
Out of this circle, he is like a blind man.
It is very difficult to obtain the most advanced intelligence. This is determined by the structure of the Ice Prison Realm and cannot be changed by one person alone.
Back to topic.
Thousands of elite soldiers from Hanxue Peak marched straight in, and when they passed the previous war zone, they were shocked to find that there was not a single cultivator stationed there.
The middle and lower areas of Kuang Mei Shan are almost vacant.
"Something is not right. I will go to the top of the mountain to investigate first. You guys set up a defense line on the mountainside to guard against ambushes at the bottom or on the top of the mountain."
Old Man Lan Xin took on the heavy responsibility and transformed himself into millions of ice birds as big as fingers. He rolled up layers of cold fog and quickly fled to the top of the mountain like an arrow.
The sound of the wings flapping rapidly is like the singing of thousands of birds.
The chirping noise was very loud, which was an intentional attempt to alert the enemy and force them to surface on their own.
Wang Yu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he had a bad feeling.
as predicted.
Less than half an incense stick later, a violent roar came from overhead. In the dazzling white light and cold current, old man Lan Xin swooped down in a panic and exclaimed.
"Zhenbei Tower! It's someone from Zhenbei Tower!"
Wang Yu's heart moved. The Five-Colored Saint Lord had reminded him earlier that Zhenbei Tower might be involved in the war, and it might also have something to do with the son of the Ice God.
We have been prepared in this regard!
