The mansion of the Lieshan Tribe, Yuwang.
His trusted generals were brightly armored and full of murderous intent.
"Chief! We can't wait any longer!" a rough general said urgently.
"Now that Xuanyuan's foothold is not stable, it's time for us to rise up! You are Earthly Emperor's direct bloodline, and this position of Co-Lord should be yours!"
Yuwang's knuckles turned white when pinched, Shennong's old warnings echoed in his ears, Mysterious Gate Immortal Dao, Chan Sect's line of saints poured their power into Xuanyuan's body... Fighting over it is futile, and it's even more likely to get burned!
But the enthusiasm of the generals in front of him and the unwillingness accumulated in his heart for thousands of years completely overwhelmed this warning.
Why? Why can he Xuanyuan be favored by saints, assisted by talented people, and be abdicated by his father?
Just because of that so-called "destiny"? Is his Yuwang's ability poor?!
"Father... you are too cautious!" The last trace of hesitation in Yuwang's eyes was burned away by the flame of ambition.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! If you win the supreme position, Heavenly Dao Saint must also look at me squarely!"
At the thought of this, Yuwang stood up suddenly and issued an order, "Command: Lieshan Headquarters and all tribes loyal to our clan, mobilize their troops and horses, and open warehouses to collect grain!
I, Yuwang, today reaffirm my position as Flame Emperor! Send troops to Chendu to take back the glory that belongs to my Jiang Clan descendants!"
The resentment accumulated over thousands of years is rolling like lava.
The wise men in the clan had complained, and the tribal leaders who were attached to Lie Shan Shi had also expressed dissatisfaction. These voices were secretly captured and woven into a web by Yuwang.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Shennong ascended to enlightenment and Xuanyuan's foothold was unstable, they relied on the influence of the Lie Shan Shi tribe to secretly connect with each other, secretly mobilize elite soldiers, and accumulate food and grass.
Yuwang brazenly launched a rebellion to establish himself Flame Emperor under the title of Shennong Shi!
Suddenly, the tribes attached to Lie Shan Shi heard the news and an army composed of elites that Yuwang had accumulated secretly for many years swept out like a prairie fire, with the banner of "replacing Flame Emperor in his place", and directed their troops at Chendu!
The momentum was so urgent that before Xuanyuan fully controlled the whole area and before the main force of Human Race 'Royal Army' arrived, it actually broke through several passes along the way and approached the key point Banquan Wilds!
When the message came, Chendu vibrated.
At that time, Xuanyuan was discussing with Guangchengzi, Li Mu and other confidants how to deal with the increasingly arrogant Jiu Li Chi You.
When Xuanyuan heard the report, he was shocked and angry. He slapped the table with his palm and said, "Yuwang! For your own selfish desires and regardless of the life and death of your tribe, you brazenly launched an army and started a rebellion!"
What is surprising is that civil strife suddenly broke out in Human Race, and it was under the gaze of the saint that Human Race's luck was flourishing.
What makes me angry is that Yuwang, as a member of the Human Emperor bloodline, does not want to consider the overall situation, but wants to split Human Race, causing thousands of people to die under the sword!
His heart is tormented! But his helplessness is even deeper. After all, it's Human Race's roommates who are at war! The blood will flow like a river!
"Damn it!" Li Mu, the burly general standing beside him, roared with rage.
"Yuwang, how dare you do this! Your Majesty, when the last general asks for battle, his head will be sacrificed under the tent!"
Xuanyuan took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his chest.
His eyes swept over Li Mu, and then looked at Guangchengzi with a solemn expression.
The military situation is on fire and there is no need to delay!
Chi You has not yet moved, but if Yuwang is allowed to gain momentum, the people inside will be shaken, and the situation will be out of control.
He must suppress it with thunder to serve as a warning to others!
"Li Mu!" Xuanyuan's voice was low and decisive, and said with unquestionable majesty, "Assemble the army immediately! Target Banquan Wilds! Be sure to intercept Yuwang Rebel Army, and do not allow it to take another step forward!"
"Here!" Li Mu took the order, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Xuanyuan rubbed his brows tiredly and looked at Guangchengzi: "Teacher, the sudden civil strife is not what I expected.
But Yuwang If this wolf is not eliminated, how can it frighten the surrounding wolves? How can it control all races?"
Guangchengzi nodded slightly, with a deep look in his eyes. "The calamity has been revealed, and this is also a disaster sent from heaven to Your Majesty.
We must fight quickly and decisively, and do not allow foreign enemies to gain any opening."
Under the command of Li Mu, the elite Bear Clan soldiers are like arrows leaving the string, marching day and night.
They climbed over mountains and ridges, swam across rivers, and stayed together under the stars for several months.
Finally, at dawn one after another, in the dim light of dawn, they arrived at Banquan Wilds.
Soldiers are very fast! Li Mu commanded like an arm and a finger. The army quickly cut down trees and set up strongholds, relying on mountains and dangers to make the company's camp impregnable.
Just as the camp was settled, the scouts hoofbeated. "Report! Rebel Army's main force has arrived, only ten miles away, and is setting up camp!"
Xuanyuan, dressed in military uniform and full of heroic spirit, climbed onto the central podium, overlooking the civil and military officials who quickly gathered in front of the tent.
His expression was stern and his eyes were as bright as lightning. "Yuwang's army has arrived, and the troops are facing each other. Sirs, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a civil servant came out and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty! Imperial Master Guangchengzi Immortal Chief is a disciple of a saint, and he has profound knowledge of Daoism and Daoism!
If you ask the Immortal Chief to use the Immortal Magic and Divine Thunder, Rebel Army will be wiped out in ashes with a wave of your hand, and our army can win without a fight!"
As soon as these words came out, many ministers looked at Guangchengzi with burning eyes, as if they saw the hope of easy victory.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan also turned to look at Guangchengzi, the white-haired child-faced boy next to him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "What do you think, teacher?"
Guangchengzi's white eyebrows slightly frowned, and he shook his head slowly. His voice was calm but with an insurmountable principle. "Your Majesty, these words are wrong. I am a monk from outside the country. I assist Human Emperor by God's will. He cultivates the pure Daoist fruit and protects the Human Race Daoism.
How can you use magic on mortals of your own race? This is not about overcoming calamities and slaying karma, but about killing people against the will of heaven!
Once you are contaminated with this kind of Karmic Cause and Effect karma, not only will your cultivation be wiped out instantly, but your Majesty's and Human Race's luck will also be damaged. This is definitely not feasible!"
Guangchengzi's words were categorical and contained a hint of Great Luo's coercion, which made the minister who just made the suggestion turn pale, and he did not dare to speak any more.
Xuanyuan The trace of hope in his eyes was extinguished, and he was silent for a moment, straightening his spine again.
Although I cannot take advantage of the immortal magic, the determination and courage that belongs to Human Emperor fills my heart again.
"We are based on the foundation of Human Race's rise and fall, and we should use the power of humanity to act as an upright teacher!"
He suddenly pulled out the bronze Long Sword from his waist, pointed his sword at the outside of the camp, and Xuanyuan loudly ordered, "Let's form an array tomorrow! I want to personally meet Yuwang, the 'Flame Emperor', for a moment!"
Thirty-Three Heavens is outside, Fire Cloud Cave is filled with clear light and endless auspiciousness.
However, the sudden aura of war in the world was like pebbles thrown into a quiet lake, disturbing the tranquility of this place.
Fuxi and Shennong, who were playing chess, changed their expressions almost at the same time.
The chess piece in Shennong's hand fell on the chessboard with a "clack" sound, and the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the quiet space.
He suddenly stood up, his eyes penetrated Endless Void, and landed on Banquan Wilds, which was filled with flames in the mortal world. The blood on his old face instantly faded, and his eyes were full of endless regret and disbelief.
"The traitor!" Shennong's voice was trembling violently.
"Yuwang... How dare he! I thought that even if he was angry, it would dissipate over time, but I didn't think...
He actually raised an army to rebel! He falsely called himself Flame Emperor and usurped the Human Race artifact! This... is my fault!
If I hadn't been lucky and couldn't completely cut off his thoughts, how could we have suffered the disaster of today's swordsmanship? How could our people deserve to suffer such fratricide!"
When talking about the latter part, Shennong Shi almost choked up. This Sage Emperor, who had tasted all kinds of herbs and benefited all the people, was filled with guilt for the people of Human Race at this moment.
Fuxi slowly put down the chess piece in his hand. The Bagua phantoms surrounding him circulated endlessly, calculating the battle of heaven.
He did not look at Sakazumi immediately. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate time, and he saw Karmic Cause and Effect farther and deeper.
Hearing Shennong lament, he sighed softly and raised his hand to comfort Shennong's shoulders.
"Royal brother, don't blame yourself too much." Fuxi's voice was calm and had the power to soothe people's hearts.
"This matter is not entirely your fault.
Human Race's luck is booming, such as Blazing Fire and Boiling Oil. Although its momentum is blazing, it contains chaos and needs a real tempering.
Xuanyuan Bing Beidou was born with the fate of killing and Chengtian obeyed his destiny. His road is destined to not be smooth.
This 'civil strife' seems to be caused by Yuwang's anger, but in fact it is the pain and hardship that Human Dao Destiny must go through if he wants to unify all races and cleanse the evil!"
Looking at Shennong who was deeply remorseful, Fuxi said earnestly, "Only by going through this chaos, clearing up internal disputes, and eradicating the ambition of division, can Xuanyuan truly gather the power of Human Race, control Eight Wastelands, and achieve boundless great governance!
This... is a calamity written by the Way of Heaven and the Way of Humanity, and it is also the only way for Xuanyuan Human Emperor to hone the path of Dao and Fruit! Only after the great chaos can we begin the true great unity and great prosperity."
"But Brother Emperor!" Shennong had tears in his eyes. He looked at the battlefield scene vaguely emerging in the void. The soldiers were shouting and fighting. The flying dust was mixed with blood. His heart was as sharp as a knife.
"Those are countless living lives! They are my Human Race people! Every drop of blood flows in my heart!
Heaven is ruthless... is humanity also ruthless?"
Fuxi is silent.
Why isn't he heartbroken? As the first generation Human Emperor, every Human Race citizen is his child.
But he was more aware of the responsibility he shouldered. He could only suppress the compassion in his heart for the suffering compatriots, and his eyes became more determined and profound.
For Human Race's real future, he must choose to endure some sacrifices out of compassion.
Fire Cloud Cave was silent for a moment, leaving only the invisible fluctuations of Human Race's luck rolling and flowing in the void, and the heavy heartbeats of the two Sage Emperor.
In the southern land where the Jiu Li tribe dominates, a force more tyrannical and domineering than the Yuwang rebellion, like a ferocious beast that has been dormant for a long time, has finally waited for the best time to show its fangs!
Chi You wears dark iron heavy armor and holds the daunting magic sword "Tiger Soul" tightly in his hand.
The blade was dark red, and there seemed to be liquid flowing in the blood tank, exuding bursts of evil energy that devoured life.
When he heard the news that the Yuwang in the north had rebelled and called themselves "Flame Emperor" and came to Banquan, a burst of earth-shaking laughter suddenly broke out from his tough and angular face, shaking the whole country!
"Hahaha! God help me! Shennong just ascended, and Human Race got into chaos. It's really ridiculous! That kid Yuwang is actually a 'wonderful person'!"
The fierce light in his eyes skyrocketed, Chi You was like a giant beast that chooses people to devour. "How can I miss such a good opportunity! It is really a God-given opportunity to me Jiu Li!"
Below, Great Witch Xiang Liu let out a weird laugh, and its poisonous saliva dripped and corroded the ground.
Feng Bo and Yu Shi's eyes were filled with light, and their faces were full of bloodthirsty excitement.
The hearts of all Jiu Li executives were beating wildly. The Decisive Battle opportunity they had been waiting for for many years actually started in such an unexpected way!
He suddenly raised the Tiger Soul magic knife, pointing the blade straight to the north, and Chi You roared sharply, "Send the order! Jiu Li son! Xuanyuan son has no virtue and incompetence, and his superior position is not upright, causing the compatriots to be in chaos!
Today I Chi You, Sage Emperor Jiutou Shi Destiny Fortune, Obey Heaven, Respond to People, shall fight against injustice!
Send out troops immediately! Destroy all the rebellious tribes in the south that support Xuanyuan! Fight for Jiu Li and all the weak tribes who are forced to rely on Xuanyuan! Let's fight for Heaven and Earth!"
With this order, the huge war machine of the Jiu Li clan roared into full gear!
The Jiu Li warriors, who had sharpened their swords and suppressed their bloodthirsty desires for many years, were led by Great Witch such as Xiang Liu, Feng Bo, Yu Shi, Chimei Wangliang, etc., like a black torrent bursting out of a dam, sweeping out with overwhelming force!
They are no longer satisfied with the previous cannibalization and integration, but show naked conquest and killing!
Tiger Soul The sword pointed at it, and the blood shot into the sky!
Chi You went to the front line in person, and every time the magic knife was swung, it brought up a fishy wind Blood Rain, swallowing up the enemy's soul and magic weapon.
His bravery and domineering power shocked the world.
There are many tribes in the south that are resistant to Chendu, or have doubts about Xuanyuan's prestige. Under the pressure of Jiu Li's iron-blooded army and the banner of Chi You's "Fengtian to fight against rebellion", their minds are shaken and countless people surrender!
In less than a few months, the entire Human Race southern territory, except for a few sporadic loyal Chendu nails, was almost completely covered with the black battle flag of the Jiu Li totem!
Chi You's strength is expanding at a terrifying speed.
The Jiutou Shi Human Emperor spirit he possesses is even more surging in this surrendered land, exuding a more domineering majesty than Xuanyuan Human Emperor!
Countless speculators, those who were frightened by the power of Jiu Li, and those who raised armies against Yuwang and felt that the situation of Human Race was over, all flocked to Jiu Li.
For a time, the rumor that "Chi You has Human Emperor's destiny" spread like a plague in Human Race's territory, making the situation faced by Xuanyuan far away in Banquan even worse!
Banquan Wilds.
War drums rumble and horns sound!
Xuanyuan personally controls Youxiong Clan elites, arrayed like mountains, hunting flags, and morale like a rainbow!
They had just experienced a crushing victory.
Facing the coalition forces of Lieshan and pro-vassal tribes gathered by Yuwang, Xuanyuan's army showed organizational discipline and tactical literacy that were far superior to their opponents.
Li Mu If the command is determined, all military formations advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and their offense and defense are measured, just like a sophisticated war machine.
Xuanyuan himself takes the lead, with a sword in his hand that shines brightly and is unstoppable wherever it goes. He is brave without losing the majesty of a king.
On the other hand, Yuwang, although they raised their troops out of resentment and injustice, only some of the elite members of Lieshan headquarters under their command truly possess a tenacious will to fight.
Many soldiers from the pro-vassal tribes heard the terrifying news about Chi You's expansion in the south, and saw that Xuanyuan's army was so powerful, their military morale had long been shaken.
As soon as they entered the battle, under the impact and flexible division of the iron wall-like phalanx of the Xuanyuan army, the Yuwang coalition forces quickly fell into a situation of command chaos and fighting independently.
The battle was fierce but short.
Xuanyuan's army rolled over the battlefield like a torrent of steel, and Yuwang's painstakingly constructed defense line quickly collapsed.
His homemade "Flame Emperor" large banner was chopped into pieces by Li Mu with an ax in the melee.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
Yuwang, who used to be a high-spirited man with the number Flame Emperor, now has his armor broken, his hair in a mess, and his face is filled with the panic of defeat, loss and deep unwillingness.
With the desperate protection of several loyal confidants, he managed to fight his way out of the rebel army, but Banquan Wilds was surrounded like a tide by Li Mu's army, making it impossible to escape.
The defeated prisoners were taken into custody in an orderly manner.
Xuanyuan, surrounded by a group of personal guards, rode up to Yuwang, who was being escorted to the ground.
Xuanyuan was so dusty and sweaty that his temples were soaked with sweat, which made his eyes even more sharp and deep.
Looking at the embarrassed Yuwang and Xuanyuan's eyes, they had extremely complex expressions, including the majesty of a winner, compassion for fratricide, and relief after suppressing rebellion...
There is also a lingering haze. The biggest enemy, Chi You, has already been staring at you with eager eyes, baring his fangs!
