After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Yuezhou, King Wu’s Palace.

At this moment, everyone was filled with joy. Ever since the news from Yuezhou came back, everyone knew that King Wu Jiang Che had destroyed the Witch God Temple and completely put an end to the threat in the south.

It even achieved achievements that had never been achieved by previous dynasties.

Jiang Che's reputation also completely climbed to the peak because of the foreign war, and it was even enough to destroy the resistance of most of the martial arts forces without bloodshed.

Naturally, as King Wu’s base camp, the entire Yuezhou was excited.

Over the years, although life in Yuezhou, as a border state, was not too hard, life was still a bit worrying. After all, every once in a while, the Yue people in the south would make unusual movements.

Now, all hidden dangers have been completely eliminated.

The women in Prince Wu's mansion were naturally very happy for Jiang Che. Under the arrangement of Prince Wu's wife Qi Wanjun and Zhao Xianzhi, the women also prepared a banquet to welcome Jiang Che.

Laughter like wind chimes continued to ring out in the mansion.

However, among the laughter and joy, there was an outlier, and that was Qingqing. Compared to the happiness of the other sisters, her mood at this moment was much more complicated.

On the one hand, she was indeed happy for Jiang Che, but on the other hand, she felt inexplicably sad. After all, no matter what, the Wushen Temple was her home, and she grew up in Wushen Mountain.

All the relatives and friends were there.

Although her aunt Qingfeng left the Shiwan Mountains with her, she still felt a little lonely and didn't want to see a river of blood on Wushen Mountain. After all, it was Granny Wuhua who raised her.

Even though he intended to arrange a marriage for her, she still couldn't hate him.

What I recall in my mind are scenes from the past.

"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Qi Ningbing, Qingqing's best friend, noticed the changes in Qingqing and came up to her and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, Sister Ningbing, it's just that the dumplings I made don't look very good." Qingqing forced a smile.

But how could her poor acting skills be hidden from the eccentric Qi Ningbing? She quickly guessed Qingqing's thoughts:
"Even if the Witch God Temple is gone, you still have us. Besides, my husband is not a murderer. Maybe he will bring back good news. If not, you can take revenge on him severely."

Qingqing was stunned for a moment, looked around, and asked in a low voice:

"How can I retaliate? I can't beat him."

Qi Ningbing chuckled and leaned over to her ear and said:
"Doesn't my husband like us to eat eggs? When the time comes, just bite it with your teeth."

Qingqing blushed and pushed Qi Ningbing:

"Sister Ningbing, I can't bite it. It's too hard."

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the women present burst into laughter and looked at Qi Ningbing and Qingqing with teasing expressions. Although their voices were very low, most of the people present were successful in their cultivation, and at least they were a Xuandan Grandmaster.

Of course, they couldn't hide it from their ears. When they heard Qi Ningbing's bad idea, they laughed out loud unconsciously. As she laughed, Qingqing's face became more and more red, but her previous sadness also dissipated a lot.

Then, Zhao Xianzhi said:
"Ningbing, you also came up with a bad idea. My husband's body has become holy, indestructible, even comparable to a holy soldier. He just gives in to us on weekdays. If you want to bite through his vital vein, let alone Qingqing, I can't do it myself."

"Yes, it was fine before, but your husband's body is too strong. Maybe the harder you bite, the more comfortable he will feel."

Huang Shanshan nodded in agreement.

She understood this the most deeply, because among all the women present, she was the first one to follow Jiang Che, and the entanglement between her and Jiang Che also changed little by little.

At the beginning, they were evenly matched and the opponent was not that scary, but as Jiang Che's cultivation level became higher and higher, she became increasingly powerless when facing Jiang Che.

"Eat eggs? What do you mean?"

Queen Xue and Queen Ning, who were standing by, were both confused and didn't understand what the riddle was.

Qi Ningbing's eyes twinkled and she said with a smile:
"I'm sure you two have eaten eggs before. As the name suggests, eggs are chickens and eggs. As for the rest, you can slowly experience it yourself."

"Uh"

The two still didn't understand, but seeing the teasing looks of the girls, they quickly came back to their senses, a blush appeared on their faces, and they looked at each other, with the same idea in mind.

“Young people nowadays really know how to have fun.”

"What's wrong with the eggs? Are you craving for them again?"

Just as the girls were chatting and laughing, a familiar and majestic voice sounded slowly. Everyone's heart moved when they heard it, and they guessed who the person was.

"Husband?"

"Husband!"

"Here it is."

Jiang Che laughed, appeared next to Qingqing, and put his arms around her slender waist.

"How come you eavesdropped on our conversation?"

"That's it."

"You've been here a long time ago."

The girls chattered and came closer to Jiang Che.

"No, I just arrived too. This time I came mainly for Qingqing." Jiang Che explained.

"for me?"

Qingqing stared at Jiang Che blankly, as if she didn't quite understand.

"Look, who is this?"

Jiang Che raised his hand and pointed, and an old figure appeared in the void in front of him. It was Granny Wuhua. At this moment, she was looking at Qingqing with a kind face.

Although she was very angry that Qingqing was out of her control, she still felt a little complicated at this moment, as if she had seen a relative. Of course, a large part of it was because of Jiang Che's majesty.

This forced her to appear kind.

"I am Wuhua, the old servant, greeting all the ladies."

Granny Wuhua bowed to everyone.

"Mother-in-law."

Qingqing opened her mouth and looked at Jiang Che again, feeling somewhat grateful and delighted.

"I didn't kill many people in the Wushen Temple this time. Now the entire Wushen Temple has submitted to me, and she will be the guard of the Wuwang Palace from now on."

Jiang Che pointed at Granny Wuhua.

For her now, a great saint can no longer bring much advantage, but for the women in Prince Wu's Mansion, it is no less than a very strong guard.

With the Martial Saint protecting him, he can feel much more at ease.

"Brother Jiang, thank you."

Qingqing hugged Jiang Che's waist tightly.

"Well, I'm here just to let you know that I'm safe. I'll be leaving soon." Jiang Che didn't reminisce too much because Patriarch Ku Rong was waiting for him outside Yuezhou City.

"Are you in such a hurry? Wait a little longer."

"Yes, if you're not in a hurry, stay and have dinner." The girls all spoke up.

Although they were together, Jiang Che was rarely with them, and they didn't want him to leave too soon.

Looking at the eager faces of the girls, Jiang Che thought for a moment and smiled:

"Okay, let's have a meal before leaving."

Jiang Che stayed not just to have a simple meal. As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. Jiang Che saw that the women were reluctant to leave him, so he bravely sacrificed himself and started a group battle with the women.

This time, even Zhao Xianzhi and Qi Wanjun, who were usually rather shy, joined the battlefield. After all, Jiang Che left this time and they would not see each other again for a long time.

They miss you so much too.

However, due to time constraints, Jiang Che did not cut off all the girls, but stopped at a glance. After having sex with all the girls, he left Prince Wu's Mansion, of course, in order to better control Grandma Wuhua.

Before leaving, he secretly gave the secret restriction that controlled her life to Qi Wanjun and Zhao Xianzhi.

Outside Yuezhou City.

Six figures stood solemnly in the void.

When the battle of Wushen Mountain ended that day, Jiang Che accepted a total of seven Martial Saints. One of them stayed in Wushen Mountain to handle subsequent matters, and one of them was placed in Wuwang Palace as a guard.

The other five joined the war with him and served as cannon fodder.

Looking at Jiang Che who came late, Patriarch Ku Rong said helplessly:
"Didn't you say you would come as soon as you said so? Why did it take you more than an hour?"

Jiang Che shook his head and smiled:
"It's not my fault for speaking out of turn. It was really wine and sex that led me astray."

"You are a saint with strength comparable to that of a human immortal. Do you still care about such pleasure? In my opinion, you'd better give up drinking and sex as soon as possible."

Patriarch Ku Rong advised.

Jiang Che's expression also turned serious:
"Okay, from now on, I will stop drinking!"

"Where's sex?"

"Lust, Caution, Not."

"You, really"

Seeing that the other party wanted to talk at length, Jiang Che raised his hand to interrupt:

"Okay, okay, it's time to hurry. This time we're traveling over 100,000 miles, and we must reach Youzhou City within three days. We can talk about the rest on the way."

Immediately, Jiang Che did not hesitate. He raised his hand and tore open the void, then stepped in first. Seeing this, Patriarch Ku Rong didn't know what to say, so he followed closely with the other five Martial Saints.

In the blink of an eye, the seven figures disappeared without a trace.

Youzhou City.

At this moment, the whole city was in a state of silence. A large number of civilians were evacuating in an orderly manner. At the same time, a large number of soldiers were continuously pouring into the city.

Compared to Yuezhou, which was ecstatic because of the destruction of the Witch God Temple, Youzhou in the north was shrouded in a huge haze. The reason was still because of the massive invasion of the northern barbarians.

In recent days, the Northern Barbarians have been increasing their troops day by day, and the number of strong men has obviously overwhelmed the Central Plains. If Feng Wuji and others had not come to reinforce in time, the last strong city in Youzhou would have most likely collapsed.

But even after Feng Wuji and others arrived, even with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they were still at a disadvantage. Not to mention counterattacking, it would be difficult even to stop them.

And this Youzhou city is already the last remaining strong city. If it falls again, the entire Youzhou can almost be declared fallen. At the same time, this city is also an important transportation route connecting to Liangzhou.

Now, 17,000 miles of territory of Liangzhou have fallen. If this city is taken by the Northern Barbarians again, the entire northern part of the Central Plains will be completely indefensible, and hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops will march straight in.

As for why the Northern Barbarians did not bypass this city, it was naturally because this city was connected to the mountains on both sides, and a large number of magic arrays had been set up over hundreds of years.

Formed a natural barrier.

A Martial Saint could tear through the void, but below the Martial Saint level, even a Divine Master could not get through. As the situation worsened, the King of the North had to defend the borders and clear the land.

First, evacuate the large number of people gathered here.

With an isolated city, we are completely nailed to this place.

It was obvious that he was prepared for the worst.

In order to destroy Youzhou City, the Northern Barbarian Army tried every possible means. First, they used tens of thousands of civilians as a threat, threatening to kill a thousand if the city did not open. Later, the Qingtian Sect rebels secretly caused chaos.

He repeatedly created chaos in the city and even attempted to destroy the center of the formation to reduce its power.

Even though Feng Yujiang was very sad, for the sake of the entire Central Plains and the north, he resolutely ignored the people outside the city, even though many of his relatives were among them.

He also ordered a purge of his soldiers and generals in order to root out the Qingtian Sect's spies one by one.

"When will King Wu arrive?"

Inside the palace, Feng Yujiang summoned all the generals and powerful men above the level of Martial Saints. A rough count revealed that the number of Martial Saints gathered here exceeded the number of his palms.

Nearly half of them were strong men from the two states of Youliang and the four states of Beidi who came to help, and several of them had died in the previous battles.

But the problem is that at present, there are only him and Feng Wuji who are powerful human immortals.

The only person Feng Yujiang can count on at this moment is Jiang Che, the King of War who is known as the invincible one in the world. Only with such a powerful man in charge can he stop the powerful men of the Northern Barbarians.

Otherwise, defeat is only a matter of time.

Feng Wu Jiji sat beside Feng Yujiang, stroking his long beard and said:
"Don't worry, Northern King. King Wu has already wiped out the Witch God Temple and is on his way. He will definitely be here to provide assistance within two days."

Feng Yujiang urged him very hard, forcing Feng Wuji to contact Jiang Che from time to time. Now he has basically grasped the other party's whereabouts and he will arrive within a day or two.

There will be no such thing as a last-minute rescue at a critical moment.

"That's good, that's good"

Feng Yujiang nodded slightly, finally feeling reassured. Although the situation in Youzhou City was not very good now, it would be no problem to hold on for a few days.

The only uncertainty was whether Feng Wuji was trying to evade him, but he didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't ask, because Jiang Che was not only his own hope, but also the hope of the entire Youzhou City.

The reason why he asked that question in public just now.

It is to give everyone confidence.

Sure enough, as Feng Wuji spoke, one could clearly feel the tension on everyone's faces dissipate a little. To them, the greater the reputation of King Jiang Che, the stronger his strength.

And Youzhou City can also be saved.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Along with the discussion of the crowd, suddenly, several war drums resounded through the sky in the city. Feng Yujiang, who was at the top, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice with a sullen face:

"The Northern Barbarians are about to start their offensive again. Pass the order down. Everything should proceed as usual. No mistakes can be made. If the Northern Barbarians still use civilians to attack the city, do not ask any more questions. Send them on their way."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"
