The last big defeat outside Tooth-Copper City was because that Martial Grandmaster of the Lu Family did it deliberately. He allowed Shang Yu to shoot five arrows through the camp, causing thousands of the Qingzhou Army elites to be folded in the mountains, Chu Tiankuo was seriously injured and dying, and Lu Zui was missing.
This news spread back to Qingzhou City, causing the entire Qingzhou City to immediately start a commotion.
In the eyes of Qing Province those wealthy families and even ordinary warriors, Southern Border Witch Kingdom is just a group of uncivilized mountain barbarians, a place where poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people.
The dignified regular army of the Great Yu Dynasty, led by two top-notch experts who were comparable to Hidden Dragon Ranking, was actually defeated by a group of barbarians and was completely wiped out. Even the commander-in-chief almost surrendered.
This is so humiliating that it is almost unbelievable.
The people in Qingzhou City may have all criticized Crossing Peak Stronghold for being incompetent. How can one of Qing Province's portals be protected with such a performance? If those barbarians were allowed to enter Qing Province through Crossing Peak Stronghold, wouldn't they be in danger?
But this is only a superficial problem.
What really made Jiang Zhongtian take the initiative to volunteer to fight was the news in the other two important towns.
Ten Thousand Demon Mountains has set up three important towns in total.
Dark Abyss Stronghold in the middle is the base camp of Imperial City Trade and Commerce Office. The people in it are all the river crossing dragons sent from the capital, who have been drooling at the fat piece of Qing Province.
Ten Thousand Demon Stronghold in Juxi is the territory of the four major local Qing Province families and the two major Sects families, and the network of relationships is intricate.
Only in the Hengyue important town to the east, because Jiang Zhongtian, a ruthless man from the Tiantian Division who neither relied on aristocratic families nor sects, was in charge, the forces of all parties could barely maintain a superficial balance.
Now Chu Tiankuo is seriously injured, Lu Zui is missing and his life or death is unknown. Crossing Peak Stronghold's top combat power has been reduced by more than half, and the defenders are also panicking.
Trade and Commerce Office of Dark Abyss Stronghold, and Ten Thousand Demon Stronghold's aristocratic sects gathered around after smelling the smell.
The announcements sent to Qing Province Heaven Patrol Office headquarters in the past two days are like snowflakes, all impeaching Crossing Peak Stronghold for its lack of defense, and proposing that the other two important towns send people over to "assist in defense and take over."
To put it bluntly, I just saw something was wrong with Crossing Peak Stronghold and wanted to take advantage of it and put my hand in to get a piece of the pie.
As soon as Border Trade was launched, the spiritual materials, ores, and Pills passed through from Crossing Peak Stronghold every day were calculated in terms of gold and silver. Who wouldn't be jealous?
Jiang Zhongtian took the initiative to request orders from Qing Province headquarters this time to go out. The first purpose was to operate on Tooth-Copper City.
He has to use a real victory to chop back the claws extended by Trade and Commerce Office and the four major aristocratic families, and tell the old foxes in Qingzhou City that it is not the turn of outsiders to tell Crossing Peak Stronghold.
As for the second level purpose, it is related to his own interests.
Hidden Dragon Ranking's four-year re-ranking is about to begin.
Counting the days, there is only half a year left before the new round of Hidden Dragon Ranking is released.
Jiang Zhongtian is a strong man with no roots in Qing Province. He followed Lu Quanan in his early years, and later fought his way out step by step. In Qing Province, there is neither a thousand-year-old family to provide him with blood nor a large sect to give him the truth.
He has been stuck in Profound Mystery Fifth Realm Perfection for some years. He has cultivated two Divine Powers in his hand. He is just short of the last Divine Power before he can cross that hurdle and achieve Martial Grandmaster. It can be said that the sea and the sky are bright.
But cultivating Three Divine Powers and breaking through the Grandmaster Realm requires a huge amount of resources, and even with Crossing Peak Stronghold's profit sharing, it is not enough.
The only hope for Jiang Zhongtian, who has no backer, is to break into the top 100 of Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Great Yu Dynasty's Hidden Dragon Ranking includes the world's Profound Connection Realm strong ones. Anyone who can squeeze into the top one hundred will be directly rewarded by the imperial court with an astronomical amount of Imperial Resources every year, which even includes Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can only be used by the Grandmaster Realm.
Previously, Heavenly Rhyme Pavilion, Jiang Zhongtian combined with Bai Yuchen, Chu Tiankuo to beat Nine Evil Sect's Blood Illusion Venerable, and they have already accumulated quite a record.
This time inside Tooth-Copper City, there are two strong Profound Connection Perfection from the Shaman Kingdom.
Jiang Zhongtian plans to fight against these two masters alone. As long as he can kill one of them and break Tooth-Copper City, when Hidden Dragon Ranking is rearranged, with such an amazing record, he will definitely be able to move up a lot and steadily enter the top 100.
It can not only keep the power in hand, but also earn enough resources to attack Grandmaster.
Therefore, this battle must be fought by Jiang Zhongtian. Not only must it be fought, but it must also be won beautifully.
In the yard, the wind blew through the dead branches on the wall, making a rustling sound.
Yi Yang straightened out the thoughts in his mind, looked at Xu Min in front of him, and ordered, "Don't inquire about the affairs of the big shots, just do the work at hand efficiently."
"Go to South District Black Market. Make sure you change your outfit. Don't wear Pacification Guard's clothes."
"Yes! I will do it now!"
Xu Min clasped his fists, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly, closing the door behind him.
The yard became quiet again.
Yi Yang stood there without moving, his originally steady breathing sank for half a minute, and said in his heart:
"Trouble, even though I knew about this a long time ago, I still felt a little uncomfortable when it actually happened."
Because Jiang Zhongtian left, Crossing Peak Stronghold's backbone was no longer available.
What's the scene like in the city now?
Bai Yuchen was seriously injured by Blood Illusion Venerable on the night of the auction; Chu Tiankuo was even worse, shot through the shoulder blade by an arrow from Shang Yu, and lay half-dead in bed and still didn't recover; Lu Zui simply didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.
With such a big Crossing Peak Stronghold, all the top players on the surface are lying down.
But what about outside the city?
Yi Yang Think of the Nine Rivers Sect Elder, Zhang Feng who blocked the road at the corner of the official road five days ago.
The opponent is Profound Connection Fourth Realm, Returning to the Profound Realm's cultivation level.
If Jiang Zhongtian hadn't arrived in time, destroyed the Dark Blue Hand with one shot, and overwhelmed the opponent with Heavy Mountain Divine Power, even if Yi Yang revealed all its trump cards, it's unclear whether Yi Yang could have completely escaped from Zhang Feng's hand.
There is a complete Dharma Body gap between the Returning to the Profound Realm and Manifestation Realm, and the True Qi reserves are even more different.
Although Zhang Feng was labeled as "colluding with the Shaman Kingdom" by Jiang Zhongtian that day and rolled away with his tail between his legs in despair, it is an ironclad fact that Nine Rivers Sect died and one Elder died.
According to what Zhang Feng revealed that day, the deceased Li Chengyan ancestor was kind to the Nine Rivers Sect that Grandmaster ancestor, and Nine Rivers Sect absolutely cannot let this matter go.
Previously, there was a great god named Jiang Zhongtian who controlled the city. Zhang Feng was a rat-proof weapon and he did not dare to step into Crossing Peak Stronghold.
Now Jiang Zhongtian has just led the troops away from the front, and the news from the back will reach Nine Rivers Sect's ears.
Without the intimidation of Jiang Zhongtian, Elder, a sect of the Returning to the Profound Realm, in order to give an explanation to his ancestor, would he take risks and sneak into the city at night to take people by force?
Yi Yang has never been accustomed to placing his wealth and life on the rules and kindness of his enemies.
Zhang Feng As long as he is not stupid, he will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime gap.
There is not much time left for yourself.
Yi Yang raised his left hand and glanced at the palm of his hand.
Looking inside, you can see that under your skin, your iron-gray bones are glowing with a dense cold light, but you are still far from "Profound Bone" in "Divine Bone Blood Refining" and Second Layer, but you are not far away from Minor Accomplishment.
Minor Accomplishment's "Iron Bone" can compete with the strong Profound Connection Second Realm with his physical body alone, which is definitely a big improvement.
As for once Profound Bone is trained, the bones turn into Qi veins, and Profound Connection Perfection can be defeated by physical strength alone. At that time, even if Zhang Feng is like Returning to the Profound Realm, even if he stands in front of him and is beaten, he will have to break a few teeth.
As for the three small drops of Divine Thought Origin in Sea of Consciousness, it will take another five days to completely digest them.
"Golden Sun Snake Heart Fruit, we must get it."
