Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 206: Summon the Army of the Nine Nations to Enter the Nine Rivers

As soon as the Daoist's voice fell, the entire hall suddenly quieted down.

They all knew that something big must have happened, but they still didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Chen Qing got up and walked towards the wall on the left side of the hall. There was a map of the Death Realm on it.

Thanks to Chen Qing's background, he was given a map of the Death Realm.

Outside, thunder pierced through the sky and rain poured down, making the atmosphere a little depressing.

On the map, there was a large river that ran vertically across the entire map. That was the famous River of Bones.

At the end was the Death Sea where everything would sink.

The east side was the main sphere of influence of Da Hu. The north side had snow mountains all year round, as well as the foundation of Kunlun, so few people went there.

The northwest side was where the demon race was entrenched, and the far west was where the Western Desert Buddhist Sect was.

The south side near the Death Sea, on both sides of the river, had always been the territory of the Extreme Light Sect.

Chen Qing ordered, "Tell me all the cities that have fallen, according to the order of their fall."

The Daoist turned around with difficulty and looked at the map. The first city he spoke was Thousand Lanterns. "Thousand Lanterns, then Feixiang, Tengyuan."

Chen Qing listened to the names of these fallen cities and frowned slightly. "Good job, Ji Chang, he actually has a way to sneak in secretly. Every time, he would first attack the fortress behind the Extreme Light Sect."

"This kind of city, thinking that they are not at the front line, will definitely be lax in defense."

"And then, he even turned the frontline city into a lone city!"

Wang Yuan said, "This is the best move senior brother used, Cut the Snake's Seven Inch."

"The city is winding like a snake, first cut the connection between the head and the body, then slowly cut off the head."

"As long as you take down one city, it's equivalent to taking down two cities in a row!"

Chen Qing asked, "In that case, your senior brother should have also reached the Death Realm?"

Wang Yuan put his hands together, "Yes, he has."

Chen Qing looked at the map and said, "The Extreme Light Religion has a total of 35 cities. Now, 13 of them have fallen. Xu Yaofeng only has 17 cities, and after being attacked by Ji Chang, there are only 9 cities left."

"On the other hand, Shang Tong only lost 5 cities."

Chen Qing came to the Daoist and asked carefully, "Are you under Xu Yaofeng or Shang Tong?"

The Daoist replied, "Of course they are under Commander Xu!"

Chen Qing waved his hand and said, "Send this senior away to treat his injuries."

He returned to his seat. "Now that you've heard the news, let's hear your opinions."

Su Yi cupped his hands and said, "My suggestion is to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of the news."

"Before that, you can inform the various Guard Generals and make preparations for the expedition."

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "It's still safe."

Qing Ran, on the other hand, said, "I'll find out Da Wu's movements as soon as possible. If they open the Ghost Gate en masse and enter the Death Realm, then it means that the news is true."

Chen Qing praised, "You do have some knowledge."

Wei Qingchen cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will begin the preparations to open the Gates of Hell. We are just waiting for Lord Wei's orders."

Chen Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go."

Although he had received the news, it might not be true.

The news that Ji Chang had already entered the Death Realm had been spreading for several years. Every time, it was fake. This time, it might not be true.

Every extra year of preparation in the outside world would increase his strength by a notch.

If he was deceived, he might fall into an awkward situation.

Chen Qing could easily determine the source of the news, he would know easily when he attended the gathering on the fifteenth.

Xu Yaofeng had suffered a huge defeat, there was no reason for him not to know.

After three days, on the evening of the fifteenth, Chen Qing put on the bronze ghost mask and prepared to attend the gathering.

On the cloud platform, Chen Qing appeared at his seat again. The other three appeared on time, but Xu Yaofeng was late.

Xu Yaofeng's late arrival made Chen Qing realize that something might have happened.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xu Yaofeng finally arrived.

"Senior, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Chen Qing shook his head, not minding it at all. "No matter, time might be precious to you, but to me, it is of no importance."

After a short greeting, they started chatting.

Right now, the Gu worms of the four of them had been nurtured to the peak, Ji Ru and the rest were starting to think about how to advance their light butterflies to king grade.

This was also why Chen Qing was invited to help Ji Ru search for the treasure burial ground and find king grade river Gu.

Ji Ru saw that Xu Yaofeng was late for the first time and knew that he was in a dangerous situation, she said: "Yao Feng, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Xu Yaofeng wiped his non-existent sweat: "Ji Chang entered the death realm."

"In seventeen days, he took down thirteen forts of Extreme Light Sect."

"Also, don't be frightened by his battle strength, it is not that exaggerated."

"Shang Tong suddenly deployed his troops near the death sea, I was vigilant, so I gathered a lot of troops here."

"The frontline is empty, Ji Chang seized the opportunity."

Chen Qing thought to himself: Did this Shang Tong betray us?

Join Great Snake?

If so, it was quite troublesome.

Xu Yaofeng asked: "What did Tai Yi say?"

Ji Ru said gently: "Tai Yi can enter the death realm at any time, he should have received the news by now. But he needs to gather an army in Nine River City, it will take a month or two."

Xu Yaofeng said: "Now, Ji Chang is with Gu Long, and Shang Tong is likely to betray us, the situation is not good."

Hu Yao asked timidly: "You mean, Ji Chang and Gu Long are already in the south of the death realm?"

Xu Yaofeng was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Hu Yao said: "Then I can lead the demon alliance army to attack Ji Chang's headquarters, Chaotian City."

Xu Yaofeng asked: "Do you have enough troops?"

Hu Yao said: "I can pull out a thousand or so Ghost Face Realm great demons."

Xu Yaofeng did not care about the demon race's battle strength now, it was better to disperse the enemy troops.

The demon race's battle strength had always been a mystery. Sometimes, they were like heavenly soldiers, sometimes, they were like scattered sand.

Xu Yaofeng thanked him sincerely: "Then I'll leave it to you. The more troops, the better. It's best if they can mobilize some of their troops back to reinforce us."

Xu Yaofeng said: "Earlier, we should have let the sect seize Shang Tong's power. Now, he is using the name of the Lord of Mortal World to deprive his followers of the right to communicate with the sect."

"He has already controlled a large number of Aurora Sect."

"If he betrays the Aurora Sect, the situation may be very bad."

Hearing the current terrible situation, Chen Qing felt a headache in his heart.

However, it was not impossible to solve. Hu Yao involved part of Ji Chang's troops, and Xu Yaofeng had been stationed in the death realm for many years, he could be called a famous general in the war of the death realm.

He could barely hold on.

Xu Yaofeng said: "I can't stay here any longer, I have to go out and prepare for the war."

He looked at Chen Qing respectfully: "Senior, please forgive me for taking my leave first."

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Go."

Murong Lang revealed an envious expression when he heard that the battlefield of the Death Realm was so intense on Chen Qing's side.

He was very bored now because after entering the Death Realm, he relied on the "Book of the Gods" and "Common Gu Worms of Southern Li" to become the publicly recognized leader of the Dao Masters.

Everyone was afraid that something would happen to him, and there were hundreds of guards in the Death Realm.

He was very free.

"Oh right, Red Lotus, I still have many books of the Demon Race here. Do you want them?"

Hu Yao had never rejected these. "I want as many as you have!"

Hu Yao and Murong Lang bargained for a while. This little girl had become much shrewder with a large group of demons.

After half an hour, the gathering ended. Chen Qing took off the bronze ghost mask on his face.

He pushed open the door and walked into the hall alone.

After thinking for a moment, he finally ordered, "Send the order for Su Yi, Wei Qingchen, Qing Ran, Jiang Xingchuan, Zhang Can, and Ma Yuan to come and see me!"

Zuo Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Master Wei. I'll go now."

The order was sent in the middle of the night, but everyone did not let Chen Qing wait for too long. They arrived in just two hours.

Su Yi was the last to arrive. When he entered the hall and saw Chen Qing frowning, he immediately knew that the news from a few days ago was probably true.

Chen Qing glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he ordered, "Send the order for Xuan Cuo, Xuan Mang, Yan Bailiang, and Lu Shenglong to immediately lead all the Dragon Legion and all the perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators under them to Nine River City."

Su Yi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will send the order now."

Chen Qing continued, "Wei Qingchen, prepare to open the Ghost Gate. As for the specific medium to enter the Death Realm, I will tell you after I ask the Death Omen."

Wei Qingchen hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands. "This subordinate will definitely complete the mission!"

Chen Qing continued, "Send the order for Qingshan to return."

"Send the order for Wu Shang and Li Liufeng to leave the land of the Dao Source and come to Nine River City to succeed the throne."

"Send the order for all the cultivators in the academy to scatter to the eight countries and establish their own academies to teach the world."

Chen stood up and walked in front of Jiang Xingchuan. "Jiang Xingchuan, after I leave, the academy's matters will be left to you.

"This is a major matter. Even if I am defeated, as long as the academy continues to prosper, I will still have the power to rise again!"

Jiang Xingchuan felt the weight of this responsibility. "This subordinate understands. I will definitely spread the records written by the Dean throughout Jiuli!"

Chen Qing looked at Qing Ran and ordered: "Take out all the lifespan Gu, I want to reward the generals!"

"Apart from the army, how many Great Circle of Foundation Establishment can your Shadow Guards mobilize?"

Qing Ran stood up and cupped his hands, "Guard Master, 600 shadow guards are ready to listen to your orders!"

Chen Qing nodded. "Alright!"

"The war has already begun. None of us can escape."

"Since we can't escape, we can only win!"

"We are the first batch to enter the Death Realm. A total of three thousand soldiers and six hundred shadow guards."

Chen Qing felt that the orders were more or less given, and he said, "Go and do your own things. Regardless of life or death, I'll go with you!"

"If I am the king, all of you will be a noble family with a history of ten thousand years!"

Everyone stepped forward and knelt down respectfully, "We pledge our lives to follow Master Wen!"

Chen Qing was already preparing to pass the position of Li Bing Guard Master to Wu Shang, so everyone naturally addressed him with the title they wanted to use.

Master Wen was much more impressive than Guard Master.

Guard Master was only the leader of a force.

But Master Wen was a force that only appeared once in ten thousand years.

After dismissing everyone, Chen Qing walked to the back hall. Xuan Ping and Yan Sisi were handling some information.

Xuan Ping saw Chen Qing come over, "I received news from Great Skull, Li Chong Huan is about to sever his lifespan."

"It seems that Daoist is telling the truth, Ji Chang has already entered the Death Realm."

Yan Sisi said: "We can send a group of death warriors to Great Skull and search for the medium to open the ghost door in Chao Tian City."

Chen Qing was pleasantly surprised, "You mean, we can deceive Ji Chang and make him think that I will enter the Death Realm from Chao Tian City?"

Yan Sisi said: "If not for brother placing so much importance on Xu Yaofeng, we could have entered the Death Realm from Chao Tian City."

"This way, we can be considered to have switched places. Even if Xu Yaofeng fails to defend it, it will not be a loss."

"If we defend it, we can make Ji Chang fall into a state where he has no city to rely on."

Chen Qing smiled: "Nothing must happen to Xu Yaofeng, I still have a use for him."

"The demon race has already agreed to send a side force, they might be able to attract Ji Chang's attention for a while."

Yan Sisi said: "That's good, Chao Tian City is empty, it is normal for the demon race to go and plunder it."

"Brother, where are you going to enter the Death Realm?"

Chen Qing said: "Get Ma Yuan to call Death Omen over, I will make a decision."

Yan Sisi nodded and began to write the order.

Chen Qing walked forward and placed three jade bottles on the table, "After leaving, the only thing I am worried about is you and Wu Shang."

"These are three thousand year lifespan Gu, I spent a lot of effort to find them."

"Our small family is not as wealthy as the large sects, we only have these three."

"Xuan Ping, take them, you will need them when you sever your lifespan."

Yan Sisi said: "Brother, I don't need them, I can't cultivate."

Chen Qing took out Zhen Yang's sword talisman and handed it to Yan Sisi: "This is the sword talisman that the owner of the immortal island, Zhen Yang, left for me."

"He said that if I need to find him, I can crush this sword talisman."

"He is the same as you, a variant human, but he might have already found a cultivation method."

"If I am not around, crush this sword talisman and let him go."

"I promised your brother that I would find a good place for you."

Yan Sisi looked at Chen Qing in a daze: "Brother is also my brother, my big brother is also my big brother."

"In that case, I should call you second brother."

Chen Qing sighed: "Back then, I had no choice but to fight with your big brother, it has nothing to do with you."

"Thankfully, your big brother did not die in my hands, you did not feel any resentment."

Xuan Ping and Yan Sisi were about to continue speaking, but Chen Qing waved his hand to stop them: "Don't worry, I will not lose."

"So what if it's Ji Chang, he is just a prince."

"I, Chen Qing, may not be weaker than him!"

"Prepare well, assist Wu Shang in managing Jiuli, and send troops to me."

"I will go under the immortal tree to think for a while."

He came under the immortal tree alone. He had been meditating here for many years, and Wu Shang had watered it with his blood several times. This crystal clear immortal tree had now grown into a towering tree.

It was as thick as a carriage.

Sitting under the tree, Chen Qing thought about what had happened recently, and what had happened in the past.

He had never thought that a rank one brute, a tiger in the mud, would actually fight for the throne.

He stood under the tree and asked everyone in Linglong Divine Palace to leave. He then said loudly, "I guess this Linglong Divine Palace is the work of my Jianyou Palace. If that's the case, I would like to invite the seniors of Jianyou Palace to come out and meet me!"

"It will also clear my doubts, let me fight for the throne without any distractions!"
