It's finally here!!
Tian Heng was facing Xu Hu's side, but the three of them were attacking him so fast that he couldn't keep up. He didn't even have time to watch Xu Hu fight Zhou Tengbin and Tian Yunhu. The sword shadows coming from the three of them were like a storm. If he wasn't careful, he would be cut into mincemeat.
On the other side, both Zhou Tengbin and Tian Yunhu died with their eyes wide open, unable to figure out how the other party had appeared.
After killing the two men, Xu Hu did not immediately rush to help Tian Heng. Instead, he took a deep breath to adjust his breathing. Tian Heng could not be harmed, and he could not be harmed either. Even though the sneak attack had been successful, it would still be difficult to take down the other three without injury. His master had given him more than just this task!
Honestly, this might be the most dangerous time in Jiangnan ever!
The lord is always a master strategist, but this time, even he probably didn't foresee that there would be a rebellion within Jiangnan, and that it would be the Tian Household Army, which had received such great favors!
Upon confirming the news immediately, Xu Hu wished he could tear these ungrateful bastards to shreds!
With the West Sea Army besieging the city, they had no choice but to send scouts to summon the Fighter Army of Tong Pass for reinforcements. However, everyone knew that the chances of those ten scouts delivering the message were slim. Just at the critical moment, Old Wolf returned.
They also brought back news that surprised everyone!
The message came from a West Sea Army named Meng Sheng. He had tricked Old Wolf away early that morning, forcing them to activate a magical array for defense. However, the inside man who tricked Old Wolf Old Wolf actually brought back a crucial piece of information through him.
Tian Heng was taken hostage. Their plan was not to attack Liuzhou City, but to feign an siege of Liuzhou in order to cooperate with the outsiders on the northern front and wipe out the Fighter Army without Xu Hu!
When this news came, not only were they stunned, but even the usually intelligent Shen Family were taken aback.
An ordinary person would instinctively think the news was fake. After all, both Meng Sheng, who plotted to lure out the Old Wolf god, and Tian Heng, the leader of the West Sea Army, were traitors. To believe the words of traitors would be truly a sign of a lapse in judgment.
But the message they brought didn't seem fake.
Because the logic makes perfect sense!
The Fighter Army is key to the forces in Jiangnan. Even if they take Liuzhou by force, as long as the Fighter Army is still there, they have only attacked Liuzhou City. As long as Xu Hu can break through successfully, there will be a chance to counterattack. Even if Xu Hu fails to break through, if Chen Qing returns, they can still turn the tide with the help of the Fighter Army.
Conversely, if they take advantage of Xu Hu's absence and coordinate with external forces to eliminate the main force of the Fighter Army, the situation will be different. Without the army, besieging Liuzhou will be a sure victory!
If Tian Heng were truly rebelling, there would be no need for him to tell them about this plan, so there's a certain probability that it's true.
That was a real test of judgment. If they trusted Tian Heng, then Xu Hu would have to break through.
According to Tian Heng, the Ancient Demon Clan has many experts of the same level as Xu Hu, who guard almost all the exit routes from Liuzhou. It is impossible for Xu Hu to break through. Even if he manages to break through, the army will immediately come back. Once he is captured, he will be finished.
The best way to capture them all in one fell swoop is to sneak out undetected.
"No way! You shouldn't be here!"
Inside Tong Pass, Xu Hu adjusted his breathing and launched another attack. As a top expert, he struck without giving his opponent any chance to react when they were completely unprepared!
That slash, which could almost cleave space itself, severed the waists of the remaining three people at an extremely precise moment!
The three men, like Zhou Tengbin, wore expressions of disbelief, clearly not expecting Xu Hu to appear there.
With the outcome already decided, Xu Hu did not immediately strike. As a martial artist, he would normally disdain sneak attacks, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he had no choice but to do something so shameful.
Now that the situation is settled, he doesn't mind letting the other party die knowing the truth.
" The Underworld!" Xu Hu said directly.
Yes, all the passages were blocked, and Xu Hu couldn't risk forcing his way in. Shen San's solution was the Underworld!
" The Underworld?" Tian Heng frowned. He had only secretly given the information to Meng Sheng so that Meng Sheng could pass it on. As for how Xu Hu would break through, he couldn't help him. After all, being under constant surveillance, it was already very difficult to secretly give the information to Meng Sheng.
Meng Sheng lived up to his expectations. He first tricked the gatekeeper, Old Wolf, into leaving, gaining his trust and lowering the guards of his lieutenants. Then, relying on the gatekeeper's ability to return to the city gate at any time, he brought the message back.
He knew that with the Shen Family's capabilities, even in the most hopeless situation, as long as they had the intelligence, they would definitely have a chance to send Xu Hu over.
But little did they expect that the other party had gone to the Underworld.
"Impossible!" the lieutenant, now only half a body, roared in defiance. "We have people controlling Underworld and the City God. You couldn't have sent someone out of the Underworld!"
Tian Heng also looked at Xu Hu with doubt. Just as the other party said, the path to the Underworld should be impossible.
You can't just leave the Underworld whenever you want. Even with Wei Gongcheng, the lord of the Liuzhou Underworld, it's not like you can leave from any part of the Underworld at any time. You need to rely on the City God.
The City God is the entrance and exit to the Underworld, a fact known to everyone in Jiangnan. When Liuzhou was short of manpower, many mortals took up clerical positions through the City God. They also needed to go to the City God to open the passage to the Underworld during their daily and nightly Night Wandering God. Even Wei Gongcheng was no exception.
There are only three City God Liuzhou City, mainly concentrated in the three largest county towns. There are not enough Underworld personnel in other places for the time being, so the groundwork has not yet been laid.
As for the three City God, Wei Gongcheng knew almost without even testing them that they must have already been sealed off.
How can one pass through the path to the Underworld?
" The Ghost Child horse," Xu Hu answered again.
When the answer appeared, everyone was stunned. Tian Heng paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Despite all the careful planning, this was completely overlooked!
Yes, the Yin-Yang Horse can travel between the Yin-Yang Road, so why can't it travel through the Underworld?
Just because no one has thought of it or tried it doesn't mean they can't, right?
The three missing lieutenants immediately showed expressions of remorse, even having the urge to slap themselves. How could they not have thought of that?
If they had thought of that earlier and killed that horse beforehand, even if Tian Heng chose to betray them and leak the information, they wouldn't have been able to send Xu Hu out.
In fact, they had already won the battle the moment Xu Hu entered Liuzhou City.
Unexpectedly, such a overlooked detail turned the tide.
"Anything else you want to say?" Xu Hu looked coldly at the three guys, his eyes devoid of any emotion. His lord had treated the West Sea Army well, and he had treated these deputy generals even better. The resources that Ao Zhen had provided directly enabled these guys to break through to the Transcendent realm. They had basically enjoyed all the good things.
And the result?
They actually colluded with outsiders without hesitation to plot against Jiangnan.
Truly heartless and ungrateful!!
The deputy general, led by the " Laoda," looked at Tian Heng with a puzzled expression. "Why?"
Tian Heng knew that the other party was asking him why he had betrayed them, even though they had promised him enormous benefits!
Xu Hu also looked at Tian Heng with some curiosity, because according to the other party's plan, Tian Heng and his group were almost guaranteed to win. Why would he take the risk and turn against them at the last minute?
"You want to know why?" Tian Heng looked at his subordinate's mangled half-body with a complicated expression.
Yes, why is that?
