Chapter 170: Two Thousand Miles of Demon Country (asking for monthly ticket) The night is lonely, the wind is howling, and the cold light shines on the iron armor among the mottled shadows of the trees. After the four armies set out from Jinguan City, they marched towards three directions. The seventh mountain is heading towards Dingshan Pass, which is opposite to Youmen Pass. The Eighth Mountain heads towards Muchuan Prefecture on the west side of Youmen Pass. There were two deputy commanders and several mountain-cutting troops stationed there, organizing the defense line and resisting the frontal attacks of the demon tribe. The third mountain and the ninth mountain went from the southeast, passing through Guang'an Prefecture and Chishui Prefecture respectively, and formed a pincer attack on Weiyuan Prefecture which was broken through and lost by the monster clan. The order Pei Yanhu gave before setting off was to have the soldiers from the two mountains, with their backs to Guang'an Prefecture and Chishui Prefecture, to guard the gap to prevent the demons from pouring out from the southeast, launching an offensive, and then carrying out a pincer attack on other frontal defense lines. The troops of the Ninth Mountain, after three days and nights of hard work, arrived at Guang'an Prefecture during the day. However, as soon as Chen Yuan arrived, he set up a cover with the local General of the Central Army, left most of the troops and set up camp in Guang'an Prefecture, and took advantage of the cover of night to quietly go out of the pass with a hundred elite soldiers. They are not far from the Shiwan Mountains! He believed that there must be demon spies in the huge Guang'an Prefecture, and it would be impossible to cover up the tracks if thousands of soldiers entered the city, so it was not advisable to mobilize a large force. The first thing to do was to get enough information. However, after the scouts sent out by the local General did not return one by one, he focused on defense. Chen Yuan did not get much useful information from him, so he personally led a small team of soldiers and went out of the city under the cover of night to send people to explore! At this moment, they were standing at the edge of Weiyuan Prefecture! More than a hundred miles ahead is Jiang'an County under the jurisdiction of Weiyuan Prefecture! And soon after his three leading captains were sent out to investigate, they brought back three people! A captain who claimed to be the former commander of the Tenth Mountain, and a pair of siblings, who were thin and seemed to have been malnourished for a long time.

There were flickering golden lights in Chen Yuan's eyes as he glanced at the three people. The light golden divine light was filled with majesty. The brother and sister kneeling at the end lowered their heads and trembled. They felt the air around them become sticky and they could not breathe. They were like fish out of water. Their heavy breathing was filled with anxiety and their hearts could not stop beating wildly. They felt that the general in front of them was like a mountain. Just standing there made the brother and sister unable to breathe. At this time, Chen Yuan raised his hand and made a move towards Xie Tianhao. Something flew out of his arms and fell into Chen Yuan's hands. It's a black token! He was very familiar with this token. After confirming that it was correct, Chen Yuan threw the token back and put away his Dharma Eye. Not finding anything unusual about the three people, he said, "Everyone, stand up and talk." "crash" The sound of armor colliding could be heard. The brother and sister felt their whole bodies lighten, and the tight feeling in their hearts suddenly disappeared. They couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and a hint of redness appeared on their pale faces, but they didn't dare to look up. At this time Chen Yuan stepped forward, and the three people in front of him, Liu Qing, automatically separated and stood on both sides. Chen Yuan came close to Xie Tianhao, looking at the seriously injured man with a gloomy expression in front of him, and asked with a gleam in his eyes: "The military commander received news that Weiyuan Pass had been lost three days ago. The soldiers from the two mountains were surrounded and killed by the demon tribe. Almost all of them were killed or wounded. How did you escape?" Hearing this, Xie Tianhao's body trembled rapidly, as if he was caught up in painful memories, his face became somewhat ferocious, "At that time, the demon tribe came with great force, six demon mountains, ten demon generals, and a surging beast tide to attack Weiyuan Prefecture, besieging from three directions, the tenth mountain, the eleventh mountain, and Weiyuan Lieutenant General relied on the mountain-cutting flags and the city defense formation to fight the enemy, the formation was broken, the general and the other two Lieutenants, as well as a local fourth-level Tianguan master, fought to the death with five of the demon generals, and finally all died in the battle. The rest of our troops fought and retreated, and were defeated. I was seriously injured and fled to Jiang'an County and fell into a coma. Then I was rescued by this brother and sister." ".It turned out that the entire county had been secretly controlled by demons. They had held the people in the city captive. I took the brother and sister and tried to escape, but we were exposed by the restrictions set by the demons in the city and were chased by them." Facing Chen Yuan's questioning, Xie Tianhao told him everything he had experienced. However, the leading captain of the Tenth Mountain was unwilling to go into the details of the battle of Weiyuan City. "The people of the entire county are being kept in captivity?" When Chen Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look in the direction of Jiang'an County. Xie Tianhao's expression was stern. "Yes!" "Jiu Zhonglang may not have seen it. The two thousand miles away has turned into a demon country." "A few days ago, the general was ordered to lead us to support Weiyuan Prefecture. When we first arrived, we sent people to investigate the occupied Youmenguan area. We found that the county towns there were in different scenes. Some turned into a purgatory on earth. The entire county town was covered by demonic clouds, and in the middle grew a pitch-black tree that was as high as the clouds. Our people couldn't investigate the situation inside at all. Others were the same as usual. The people were completely unaware of the demon disaster and lived their lives as usual. However, the people we sent disappeared after entering. In other county towns, demons and people coexisted, but the demons were high above and the people were enslaved."

"The demons from various mountains have divided these counties up, and the demon tribes occupying each county are different." Xie Yunhao shared the investigation intelligence of the Tenth Mountain in the area occupied by demons. Between the lines, the absurd and bizarre scenes of the fallen land are depicted scene by scene. Some are like a den of ghosts and monsters, while others are terribly terrifying beneath their calm surfaces. The captured city became the private land of different demon tribes, with all kinds of strange and bizarre monsters. More than 2,000 miles away, it turned into a demon country! Chen Yuan listened carefully, with turbulent waves in his eyes. I learned from the Taoist priest that the Ten Thousand Mountains are strange and colorful, with hundreds of monster tribes living in them. There is one tribe, or several tribes, living in each mountain. Many of the rumored ferocious monsters live among them, such as Fei Yi, Gu Diao, and Zhe, who were killed by Chen Yuan. They live deep in the mountains and are almost never seen by the outside world. It is said that 1,500 years ago, when the previous dynasty collapsed, these evil monsters wreaked havoc everywhere. After the establishment of Daqian, these evil monsters were sealed in this natural barrier by the great supernatural powers of the human race, and then they were set up around the Hundred Thousand Mountains to intercept the dragon veins and set up a powerful ban, and since then, the Hemen Pass has been set up to guard it. Now, it seems to be a reincarnation. Daqian’s luck is about to end, and the restrictions are loosened. These demons have reappeared with such ferocious power that they seem to be as powerful as rivers that can subside. After so many years of reproduction and development, no one knows what kind of monsters are hidden inside! With so many people dead, Chen Yuan knew that with his current strength, there was a huge gap in the face of this great trend, and his personal power seemed insignificant. The order from above was just for him to stay in Guang'an Prefecture, together with the local General of the Household, and the troops from the neighboring Chishui Prefecture, to jointly defend and support each other to block the gap. But that’s it! It has never been his character to sit and wait for others to call him. In the current situation, this is equivalent to chronic suicide. Only by taking the initiative can he be able to respond flexibly. It would definitely not work if he brought troops with him, as the Ninth Mountain would become a sitting duck, which would cause a chain reaction, with the demons from various mountains joining forces, which would only put himself and his troops in danger. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Thoughts raced through his mind, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he vaguely had an idea. The demons from the Ten Thousand Mountains are fighting for territory. Have you ever asked about local goods? He is more familiar with this route. But this matter still needs long-term consideration and many details need to be considered. He glanced at Jiang'an County with a dim gaze, and then gave an order. "Go back to Guang'an Prefecture first!" Late at night, in Guang'an Prefecture, the station of the Patrol of the Celestial Beings, in the back room of the Zhonglang Hall, the candlelight flickered, and a figure was walking back and forth under the candlelight. However, the shadow was stretched out and then shortened, very uneven. At this time, footsteps were approaching outside. Then, a voice was heard. "Sir, the troops that Jiuzhonglang sent out are back!" "Snapped" The door of the back room was quickly opened, and a short man walked out. He was wearing a green uniform with a tiger head embroidered on his chest, with its fangs bared and claws bared, but his height was only five feet, which seemed extremely disproportionate. He has red lips and white teeth, but his chin is full of beard, and his hairline reaches the back of his head, where he has a small braid. This person is the General of the Central Army here. "Come on, come on, Ben will see him." The man had a shrill voice, and if it weren't for his beard, he would have sounded like a child of seven or eight years old.

The subordinate bowed and asked in a low voice: "General, are you ready to put that thing away?" But the man jumped up and slapped the other man on the head. He said unhappily, "Don't mention it again. I didn't say anything." Then, he rushed out of the hall in a hurry. Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. Whether you have friends or not, everyone should be happy.   (End of this chapter)
