Chapter 368: Breaking Seven Cities in a Row, Zen Sect’s Reality and Illusion
Early morning on the ninth day of the seventh month in the year 1332 of the New Yu Calendar
At the east gate of Pengkang County, the jade-glazed Buddha statue looked eastward. The white military tents stretching for miles outside the east gate were reflected in his pupils, making his usually peaceful eyes look a little downcast now.

A purple-robed monk flew over in a hurry from the city, and walked up to the jade glazed Buddha, with an extremely dignified expression:
"Wuyuan, pay homage to your lord, Wuping and Wujin have lost contact with each other. Once Jiuchi County was destroyed, the four counties of Yinping, Zhao Cheng, Yuyan, and Lingquan have been unable to be contacted one after another. It has already been breached, and none of the disciples from the southwestern side came here, so it would not be possible for all of them to be killed, but now it seems that there is only one possibility, Hexi should have blocked all these places to our official road to Pengkang!"

Yu Liuli's expression suddenly became darker, and she turned around and asked, "Ignoring Jiuchi, how many disciples from the three counties in the county have arrived?"

"Jinyang County 387, Pingchuan County 612, Qingzhi County 321."

"More than 1000, how can it be so little?"

Yu Liuli's tone was a bit unbelievable. In the early morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, he received news from the temple that the Hexi army was coming. He immediately notified the disciples from the three counties of Pengkang and all came to the county to defend the city. In one day, only more than 1000 came. people.

When Leiyin Temple was stationed in Jizhou before, its power could encompass two places. The number of disciples in the temple had already exceeded one million. Even if they came south from Jizhou, there would still be at least one million left. There was only one in Jianye. Daocheng, a prefectural city, plus five counties and nineteen counties, there are only 26 cities in total. With so many disciples, even if they are scattered, there are still many in each city, at least 5 people.

There are at least more than 1000 disciples in the three counties, but only more than [-] people came here!
"According to the disciples who came here, all the main roads in the county have been occupied by the Hexi Army, and no one can pass. Even if they disguised themselves as ordinary people, they would not let them pass. Most of the more than 1000 people who came here were still there yesterday. Late at night, the Hexi army came over before they even took up their positions. The Hexi army entering our county now probably includes more than the 30 in front of us and the 50 behind us."

With a trace of anger on her face, Yu Liuli said in a deep voice: "Of course it's not just that. Jiuchi County and four other counties have all fallen. Wu Ping sent a message before, saying that there are at least 50 troops, 30 in front of us, and 50 troops behind us. , there are already 130 million troops, and Hexi can actually send a large army to block all official roads and block more than [-] disciples from three counties. How many people did they come this time!"

More than 130 million, a trace of solemnity flashed across Wu Yuan's face. He looked at the red-armored soldiers walking around the camp outside the east gate, and said with a heavy expression: "Red-armored, high-grade war horses, the 30 in front of us should be presided over by Wu Fa. It’s said that Hexi’s elite Red Flame Army is comparable to the Holy Land’s elite. In this case, this city, I’m afraid…”

"Afraid of what? Are you saying that the earth demon monks and soldiers in my temple are not as good as them?"

The Jade Glazed Buddha could certainly hear what Master Wuyuan meant. He turned his head and stared at Wuyuan with a stern expression. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead with one sentence.

"With me here, let alone the 30 Red Flame Army, even Hou Yuxiao himself would never be able to break through the gate of the county. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, not only can the danger of the county and city be resolved, but maybe we can also use this Shareholder style, including the three prefectures in Hexi..."

"I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue, hum!"

A cold voice sounded from mid-air. Yu Liuli, who was interrupted, turned to look a mile away from the east gate. Unexpectedly, five people were already standing there, and her pupils suddenly condensed slightly.

Having been together for several years, Leiyin Temple still has a certain understanding of the top leaders of the Hexi Alliance.

The man at the head was dressed in green clothes and had a handsome face. He was obviously young and somewhat unattractive, but his aura was stronger than his own. No matter how stupid Yu Liuli was, he could still recognize him as the now famous Lord of Hexi, Hou Yuxiao.

Thinking of the young man standing in front of him who had fought against Fa Hai, Yu Liuli took half a step back, her mind tense to the extreme, but she still put on a relaxed look on her face, chuckled, cupped her hands and said: "I've heard about the name of the Master of the Hou family for a long time. I'm so lucky to see you today!"

"Well, which monk are you from Leiyin Temple, please report your name, don't wait a while, if you become a nameless ghost, that would be bad."

Yu Liuli's expression froze, and he turned around to give Wu Yuan a signal first. When he saw Wu Yuan understandingly and going to alert the city defenders, he turned to look at Hou Yuxiao, narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed and whispered: "Poor monk The Dharma name is Yu Liuli, and I have met the head of the Hou family."

Unexpectedly, this monk is quite tolerant!
Hou Yuxiao showed a trace of disdain on his face and continued to challenge: "This quasi-holy land is still a quasi-holy land after all. The temperament of the disciples is too different from the people in the holy land."

The quasi-holy land can be regarded as the pain point of Leiyin Temple.

Before Yu Liuli could speak, Wu Yuan beside him couldn't help it anymore. He looked furious and rushed forward to yell: "Hexi traitor, you just escaped from the disaster by luck at the hands of Fa Hai, how dare you be so rampant?" , the Hexi Alliance, as soon as our temple’s reinforcements arrive, we will make sure that you, a thief, will never come back!”

Hou Yuxiao's pupils trembled. A mile away, the momentum instantly enveloped Wu Yuan. The air near the entire city wall suddenly became stagnant. Wu Yuan, whose face was full of anger, seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and his body trembled violently. For a moment.

"My nephew is rude and invites the Master of the Hou family. The adults do not remember the faults of the villains!"

If Hou Yuxiao's aura is powerful and domineering, then Yu Liuli is like a warm spring breeze. He took a step forward and quietly resolved the aura that enveloped Wu Yuan. Then, he faced the man who was much younger than himself. Hou Yuxiao gently bowed and apologized...

A trace of appreciation flashed deep in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and then he glanced at Wu Yuan who was hiding behind him, and said softly: "In the future, you have to be smarter when speaking. Not everyone is as easy to talk as I am. I don't think that with Pengkang County's people like this Can a mere 30 Disha monk soldiers save your life?"

In the last sentence, Hou Yuxiao deliberately mixed a trace of the power of the martial spirit's shadow, and the oppressive feeling of the martial arts sub-sage realm instantly overturned Wu Yuan's body. Wu Yuan, who was shouting just now, was now hiding under Yu Liuli's body. Behind him, his face was pale with fright.

Seeing that the jade glass Buddha standing in front of him took half a step back due to Hou Yuxiao's momentum, he realized that Hou Yuxiao standing not far away had not only fought with Fahai World Honored One, but also with him. But he is still a genuine martial arts saint!
In the whole world, only the Saint can overwhelm them. A warrior like him, who is only in the Yin and Yang realm, speaks nonsense to a top martial artist. This behavior is definitely a way to death no matter where it is placed.

"Master Hou, Hexi and our Leiyin Temple are neighbors of each other. The development over the past few years has been obvious to all. However, we must know that everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Although Hexi is strong, there is the mighty King Jing in the east and the Rakshasa Holy Cult in the west. With strong soldiers and strong horses, you and I are caught in the middle. We should watch and help each other and jointly defend against foreign enemies. Why do we need to fight like snipes and clams?"

Hou Yuxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yu Liuli, and gradually showed a smile on his face, clapped his hands, nodded again and said: "Yes, you are a sensible person, you can see both sides of things clearly, but there are still some things missing. Say it, right?”

"I don't know, please let the head of the Hou family speak clearly."

"Now the Lord Shitian of Leiyin Temple is seriously injured and unable to leave, and the masters of the four holy places are eyeing him. It is a time of internal and external troubles. If not for this, I, Hexi, would not be able to stay next to your Leiyin Temple for four years, right?"

Yu Liuli's pupils suddenly condensed. Although he tried his best to disguise it, the flash of panic on his face was still clearly captured by Hou Yuxiao.

"King Wuwei's wings are getting stronger, but people's eyes are fixed on Xuzhou; the Rakshasa holy soldiers are strong, but most of their energy is focused on Bingzhou. It is at the time when your Leiyin Temple is facing internal and external troubles. Such a God-given opportunity, if Hou Mou does not seize it Stay, isn't it unreasonable!"

…………

"Did you hear that?"

"Buddha was seriously injured, is it true?"

"The masters of the Four Holy Lands are watching with eager eyes. What do you mean..."

"What Hou Yuxiao said is not true, right?"

"If you can fight against Fahai Master, you shouldn't bother to lie to others, right?"

"Just look at His Holiness's reaction and you will know."

…………

Hearing the whispers of a group of Disha monk soldiers behind him, Yu Liuli suddenly woke up and realized that Hou Yuxiao's words were deliberately told to others. He hurriedly refuted angrily: "The Hou family rose in the twilight years, and the poor monk I thought that the head of the Hou family was an upright person, but I didn't expect that he would also play such nonsense and trick to confuse people's hearts.

The Buddha was seriously injured, and the masters of the Four Holy Lands were eyeing him. If this was really the case, then why is the Master Hou still here staring at me, Pengkang County? Wouldn't it be faster to lead his troops directly to Jianye Fucheng? "

Hou Yuxiao's expression froze, and he stared at Yu Liuli for more than ten breaths. In the end, he said nothing, just snorted coldly, and turned back to the camp.

When Yu Liuli saw his reaction, the expression on her face immediately relaxed a lot. She turned back to look at the soldiers on the city wall, chuckled, and deliberately raised her voice and said: "I miss him Hou Yuxiao, he is also a dignified Hexi. Lord, it’s ridiculous to use such a despicable move. With all the soldiers guarding it, this Hexi army wants to break through Pengkang County, it’s just wishful thinking!”

"Hahahaha, yes, it's just Hexi, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we must drive away these Hexi thieves!"

"With your venerable presence, Peng Kang will be able to make sure everything is safe."

...............

After the opening of the three-mile east gate, Hexi Daying
Hou Yuxiao heard the voices outside and realized that the morale of the guarding army was rising, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

Yu Liuli's last words hit his heart accurately.

Why is he still here now? To put it bluntly, he still has no idea.

Judging from Yu Liuli's reaction just now, he could basically confirm that Shi Tian must have been injured by Lin Xuangan's last hand in the battle at Wanglong Mountain five years ago.

The problem is, he doesn't know the extent of the injury.

Judging from the fact that the owners of the Four Holy Lands have not taken action yet, Shi Tian is definitely not without the ability to fight back. This is a martial arts saint. There are not twenty of them in the world. Even if he is seriously injured and dying, as long as he I'm afraid no one will dare to take it lightly until they take their last breath.

"Patriarch, why waste time here, 30 Red Flame Army swarmed up, coupled with Patriarch's divine power, taking down Peng Kang is no problem, in my opinion, it is better to start attacking the city directly, and let's talk about it!"

Although Hong Kui has Broken Realm cultivation, he lacks strategic ability. As soon as he finished speaking, the three Gao brothers in the camp shook their heads. Obviously, they saw far more than Hong Kui.

"Senior Hongkui, the Patriarch led the army to break the city. You know it, and I know it. The Yuliuli Buddha who wanted to come to Pengkang County also knew it, but he still led people to continue to stand firm. In my opinion, Yuliuli may have nothing to rely on. , It’s inappropriate to attack the city rashly!”

After hearing Gao Changlong's words, Hong Kui recalled the reaction of the Jade Glazed Buddha just now. When he realized this, he suddenly frowned slightly.

"This Yu Liuli is not simple. Faced with the patriarch's humiliation, he not only did not get angry, but also used the situation on both sides of the east and west to persuade me to retreat from Hexi. Moreover, after the patriarch exposed the situation of Leiyin Temple in person, he was able to quickly find out There are loopholes and rebuttals, these two points are enough to prove that this person is by no means an ordinary person. Since he dares to continue to lead the army to stay in Pengkang County, he must have something to rely on. "

After Gao Changhu finished speaking, he saw Hou Yuxiao looking at him with a hint of hesitation on his face, cupped his hands and said: "The last general dared to guess, the Patriarch surrounded Peng Kang and did not attack, firstly he used it as bait so that the second master can successfully capture it." Jiuchi County, secondly, is testing Leiyin Temple..."

"Not bad!"

Hou Yuxiao stood up directly, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.

"The army crossed the border last night. Leiyin Temple learned that I was coming to Pengkang. The army could not be mobilized in a short period of time. They had to send experts over immediately. So if nothing unexpected happens, there must be more than one powerful Yu Liuli in Pengkang County, otherwise He was not so bold as to stay behind.

My troops surrounding Peng Kang are indeed testing Leiyin Temple. I want to see how many troops and experts Leiyin Temple can send to support Peng Kang when the masters of the four holy places are watching eagerly.

I was so provocative just now, but Yu Liuli still didn't dare to take the initiative. This proves that none of the three great Buddhas have come. I don't know if they want to accompany the army or if they can't be sent. As long as this can be confirmed, the next battle will be fine. Too much! "

Gao Changlong's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Gao Cheng and Gao Hu's 50 Zhaoyang Army are on the west side of Pengkang County; Hou Fei's 20 Chiyan Army is on the west side of Jiuchi County; Hou Ying, Hou Cun, Su Li, and Nie Xinliu's 80-strong army is maneuvering between the two counties. They are only a few dozen miles apart from each other. If there are too many reinforcements from Leiyin Temple, we will quickly join forces to respond together. If there are not enough reinforcements, we will each block the enemy's reinforcements. The head of the family has already thought about this arrangement!"

Hou Yuxiao nodded slightly and looked at Pengkang County City to the west of the tent.

"After all, it is Leiyin Temple. If all their 500 million troops are able to move, then we will have to make other plans. If not, it proves that we are not the only ones Leiyin Temple has to deal with right now.

As long as I stay in Pengkang County, they will not dare to use most of their strength to retake Jiuchi County. Lao Wu's 50 Red Flame Army plus Hongju, and Hou Fei's 20 Red Flame Army are always there to support , as long as Leiyin Temple is not stupid, they will not take advantage of Jiuchi County. What they will do next is to prevent us from taking Pengkang County at all costs! "

Gaochang Bao had already walked to the front of the map, looking at the positions of Pengkang and Jiuchi counties, and said excitedly: "Of course, once Pengkang is captured by us, all the armies in the two counties will be able to quickly join forces, and the cities They will defend each other. At that time, the roles of offense and defense will be reversed, and it will become Leiyin Temple to attack the city, and we will defend the city."

Once the offense and defense were switched, the initiative was to fight or retreat, but it was in their hands. Even if they retreated, it would not be so easy for Leiyin Temple to win the two counties easily.

Hou Yuxiao's expression suddenly changed, and he took out Hou's identity token from his arms. It was flashing with light, and Hou Yucheng's voice with a hint of joy suddenly came out from it.

"Brother, Qingzhi County is here!"

Hong Kui looked stunned. He quickly lowered his head to look at the map in the camp. He was suddenly shocked. Jiuchi County had a total of four counties. Pengkang County had a total of Jinyang, Pingchuan and Qingzhi counties. Among them, Qingzhi County was located in Pengkang County. In the southwest, it is closest to Jiuchi County, especially Pengkang County, which is less than thirty miles away.

The Hou family's luck has already exceeded the standard of prefecture-level powers, and the limit distance for the family token transmission is exactly thirty miles.

The acquisition of Qingzhi County not only means that Hexi has won the sixth city. The key is that the six cities have been connected together. What's more terrible is that the army coming from Hexi this time, except for Hou Ying and Hou In addition to the 80-strong army of Cun, Su Li, and Nie Xinliu, the remaining 150 million troops are all within this area.

"Be prepared to follow me and capture Peng Kang!"

Hou Yuxiao gave the order, and the expressions of the four people in the tent perked up.
