I, the Wudang junior master, only want to cultivate immortality!

Chapter 154 Linxia City is broken!

On the city wall.

Li Shimin looked at the densely packed army below, turned and spoke to Wanwan.

"Miss Wanwan, the Song Clan's army has surrounded Linxia City and there is chaos outside. For your safety, you should wait a while before going to Wudang."

Wanwan frowned. "Their main target is Linxia City. It should be okay for me to sneak over there, right?"

Li Shimin shook his head.

"I know Kou Zhong. There is some unpleasantness between me and him. This time he got funding from the Song clan to cause trouble for me."

"If he finds you leaving Linxia City, no matter who you are, he will definitely not let you go."

"And he seems to have had some adventures recently, breaking through to the late Grandmaster level. The combination of two dragons cannot be underestimated. Coupled with some experts in the Song Clan Army, the danger is indeed too great."

"If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Brother Gu."

Wanwan was a little helpless, but she had to admit Li Shimin's point of view.

The Great Sui Dynasty is now in great chaos. With the influx of a large number of martial artists, tragedies of family annihilation occur every day.

In the past, it was safe for her to travel the world with her grandmaster-level strength, but now those warriors led by Shaolin always appear in groups. Even with Wanwan's strength, she was in danger several times and still escaped with her own wit.

But good luck doesn't always come. Once an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

She just wanted to get to Wudang as soon as possible. The sudden attack by Shuanglong and his army was really annoying.

Wanwan knew something about the grudge between Li Shimin and Kou Zhong, and couldn't help but complain.

"This guy is really shameless. You just didn't agree to marry your sister to him, but he turned around and led his army to attack you. He really wants revenge!"

Li Shimin smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he knew very well that Kou Zhong was not such a bad person.

Mobilizing so many Song clan troops to attack Linxia City was not something Kou Zhong could decide alone.

The fundamental reason why Song Que, the leader of the Song clan, agreed was that he was attracted by the geographical location of Linxia City.

To the south is the territory of the Li clan, to the north is the territory of the Song clan, to the west is the territory of the Wang clan, and to the east is the eastern capital Luoyang. It can be said to be a place of war on all sides.

But on the other hand, if Linxia City is captured, then no matter which force sends troops, they can use this place as a springboard, which can be said to have extremely high strategic value.

Ever since Yang Guang took action outside the city of Daxing and Shaolin led a large number of people from the martial arts world into the territory of the Sui Dynasty, the situation has become more chaotic. Even several large cities of the Sui Dynasty have fallen. Anyone can see that the empire is about to collapse.

Warlords like Song Que certainly did not want to be left out, and chose to attack the Li clan at this time, which was extremely courageous.

at this time.

On the plain below, a war horse stood out from the crowd. Kou Zhong, wearing armor on horseback, looked up at Li Shimin from afar, raised the scimitar in his hand, and spoke loudly. His voice spread throughout the venue with the blessing of powerful true energy.

"Li Shimin, do you dare to fight me?"

Li Shimin glanced at Kou Zhong below, and the desire to fight also rose in his eyes, "Why not?"

After a while, boom!
The gates of Linxia City were opened, and Li Shimin led Qin Shubao and other generals to ride out of the city.

Qin Shubao and other generals lined up and stood still, while Li Shimin rode his horse alone to face Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong's eyes revealed hatred. "Today, I led an army of 100,000 to besiege the city. I wonder if you have ever felt a little regretful?"

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged and he slowly shook his head.

"I have never known what regret is."

"I once disapproved of your marriage with Xiuning, but today, I still want to say that you and Xiuning are not suitable!"

Veins bulged on Kou Zhong's hand as he held Jing Zhongyue's, and his tone was filled with resentment.

"You, the sons of powerful families, look down on people like me who come from humble backgrounds?"

"Li Shimin, I have something to say to you. Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races?"

boom!
The powerful true energy from the Changsheng Jue burst out, Kou Zhong raised his sword and slashed, and a semicircular sword energy several meters long came towards him.

Li Shimin said nothing, and was also not afraid at all. Golden energy emanated from his body and a long sword flew out of his body. The two of them instantly engaged in a battle.

at the same time.

On a low hill not far from the battlefield, several figures stood quietly, all emitting powerful aura fluctuations, and it was obvious that they were not mediocre.

The old monk in a cassock standing in the front among the three people was Gu Changfeng’s old acquaintance, Shaolin Master Kongwen, who was in the late grandmaster realm.

There is also Cang Qu, who just returned from the Ming Dynasty and is active as Shi Zhixuan.

The last person was Shan Xiongxin, a general of the Wang family, who was wearing armor.

At this time, Kong Wen looked at the battle between Li Shimin and Kou Zhong on the battlefield and spoke with a smile.

"This Li Shimin is really good. He is not only able to lead troops in battle, but also has personal strength comparable to Kou Zhong. He is considered a great figure of the younger generation."

"General Shan, who do you think is the better of the two sides in this battle?"

Shan Xiongxin's face was cold, and he spoke slowly, "Although everyone serves their own master, I still recognize Li Shimin's ability."

"If we hadn't intervened in the Song Clan's attack on Linxia City, Kou Zhong would have been defeated without a doubt!"

Kong Wen smiled and said, "Haha, it's a pity that the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam."

"The people I arranged will start tonight and open the gates of Linxia City."

"I have already contacted Kou Zhong. They will launch a general attack after receiving the signal."

"Then we will have to rely on General Shan. We must capture Linxia City this time!"

Shan Xiongxin nodded, a smile on his face, "Master, don't worry!"

"According to the plan, Kou Zhong will most likely lead his troops to pursue Li Shimin, and the number of troops left in Linxia City will definitely not be many."

"With the backup plan that Master has already laid in the city, if I still can't take down Linxia City, I will not be able to lead the three armies anymore."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Only Cang Qu remained silent, staring at Li Shimin on the battlefield, with several thoughts flashing through his mind. 'Sure enough, part of my destiny lies with Li Shimin.'

"But there is no need to rush to get it. According to what the Divine Marquis said, the other part of the power of destiny should be in the hands of Wudang Gu Changfeng. Oh, and he also took my Void God Sword."

'When they flee to the vicinity of Wudang as planned, I will send someone to send a message to lure out Gu Changfeng, and then we will be able to catch them all in one fell swoop!'

"It would be best if this kid could keep the power of destiny with him. Otherwise, if he were to stay in the Wudang Sect, with Zhang Sanfeng, the land immortal, in charge, it would be difficult for me to take action right now."

on the plains.

The two main generals fought fiercely, but in the end neither could defeat the other, and they each returned to their own army.

Before leaving, Kou Zhong threatened that he would capture Linxia City within three days, which made Li Shimin sneer.

That night.

Near the east gate of Linxia City, figures in night clothes leaped over.

The aura these people exude is obviously very powerful, and they are all above the level of Grandmaster.

The soldiers defending the city were all elite. When the captain realized something was wrong, he wanted to shout a warning, but a strange light flashed in the eyes of the enemy leader. All the soldiers suddenly showed confusion in their eyes and stood there in a daze.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
A sharp knife flashed and heads rolled down.

squeak~
The heavy city gate was quickly pushed open.

The same scene happened at several other gates of Linxia City.

call out!call out!call out!
As flares shot straight into the sky, they were accompanied by deafening shouts of killing.

"Kill! Take down Linxia City!"

Kou Zhong took the lead with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Xu Ziling next to him couldn't help but remind him.

"Master Zhong, don't let personal grudges affect you. Although the people from Shaolin have agreed to open the city gate for us, they definitely have bad intentions!"

Kou Zhong didn't care much.

"Of course I know they have bad intentions."

"They probably think that I will pursue Li Shimin because of personal grudges, which is indeed true, but I will leave 50,000 troops to guard Linxia City, which will be foolproof!"

City Lord's Mansion.

Li Shimin and others all changed color, not understanding why the city gates were broken in an instant without even receiving any warning.

But he was also an extremely experienced general, and he knew that if he didn't leave now, he would be caught in a jar.

As for Linxia City, victory and defeat are common in the military. It doesn’t matter if we lose it today, we can take it back tomorrow!

He, Li Shimin, has this confidence!

"go!"

Li Shimin mounted his horse without any hesitation and led a group of his generals and Wanwan to break out quickly in the direction where the enemy forces were relatively weak.

But what he didn't know was.

The so-called relatively weak areas are actually places that are deliberately left.

As the saying goes, "surround three sides and leave one side missing", the purpose was to make Li Shimin escape to a certain direction according to the ideas of certain people.

"Li Shimin, don't run!"

Kou Zhong carried Jing Zhongyue and led a large group of elite cavalry to follow closely behind.

At the same time, Shan Xiongxin of the Wang family and a group of Shaolin masters also led an army of only a thousand people and quietly approached Linxia City.

Cang Yu turned into an unnoticeable black shadow and fell far behind Kou Zhong.

a few days later.

Wudang Mountain, in the Five Elements Domain.

Gu Changfeng is doing his daily meditation practice.

After breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, he suddenly felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot.

After several days, the amount of liquid magic power added to Dantian was only three drops, but there was still a gap of eighty-seven drops from breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.

At this rate, it would take at least seven or eight months.

For Gu Changfeng, who was used to rapid growth in his cultivation, this was simply unacceptable.

"In my current situation, if I want to increase my cultivation speed, there are only two ways: upgrading my spirit body, or condensing spiritual roots of water and fire attributes."

"For the time being, there is no need to think about upgrading the spirit body. I have no idea what to do. The only thing left is to plot for the water and fire spirit roots."

"According to my previous thoughts, there is no clue to the water spirit root for the time being, but the clue to the fire spirit root is most likely on the Fire Kirin in Lingyun Cave."

'But Lingyun Cave.'

Gu Changfeng fell into deep thought.

Lingyun Cave is one of the most famous Jedi in Kyushu Continent.

Its danger level is much higher than that of Wanshilin in the Qinling Mountains.

The terrain is extremely complex, and there are also mythical beasts such as the Fire Qilin that are naturally born and raised.

The Fire Qilin is a divine beast that was born and raised naturally. It cannot absolutely rival the immortals on land, but it can have no problem crushing ordinary strong men who have reached the state of unity between man and nature.

In addition, Wudang is too far away from Lingyun Cave. Even if you use sword-riding skills to fly the entire distance, it will take at least two or three months to go back and forth.

Just when Gu Changfeng was deep in thought.

The voice of the fat boy Wang Mu suddenly sounded.

"Master Junior, someone sent a letter saying that Miss Wanwan and Li Shimin are being hunted down. The situation is critical!"
