Nine Turns of Nirvana

After the war, the first area of ​​the Heavenly Hell battlefield was devastated.

Although a whole day has passed, the scene of the King of Heaven's Hell attacking brazenly and wreaking havoc on the battlefield is still vivid to all the disciples who participated in the battle, like the most terrifying nightmare.

Master Yueqian stood on a tall tower, watching this scene, but he felt neither sadness nor joy in his heart.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and the highest commanding general of the coalition headquarters, he has been sitting in this position for nearly a hundred years. He has long been accustomed to such scenes and has taken life and death lightly.

There must be sacrifices on the battlefield.

In his view, in order to achieve the established strategic goals, some sacrifices are always necessary, such as the scene in front of him, the disciples who died in the battle, and himself.

At this time, he seemed to have no problem on the surface, but in fact, the injuries inside his body were already very serious. In the battle with the King of Hell, his golden elixir was severely damaged and almost collapsed. The laws have collapsed and disintegrated. Even if they can recover in the future, their cultivation will be greatly reduced.

But there is no way. The position of the commander of the coalition forces is lifelong. Either he dies or the King of Hell opposite dies before a new commander can be replaced. This is a fate he must bear.

What's more, judging from the news that Li Wangji brought to Daluo Holy Land a few days ago, the Scarlet Moon Demon Sect has resurrected, and even to thwart the Scarlet Moon Demon Sect's conspiracy, he had to make such a sacrifice.

Although he was looking at the devastation in the first area at this time, his eyes had already transcended the scene in front of him, passed through the layers of clouds and fog, and focused on the sky ahead, hoping that there would be good news for him.

"Master Qizhen..."

At this time, a guard general climbed up the tower and came behind him. This is an elder from the Hunyuan Qi Sect named Pei Tianshou. He has also served on this battlefield for decades and is his most trusted deputy.

"Is there any news?" Master Yueqian asked.

"Still not..." Pei Tianshou shook his head.

He looked at Master Yueqian's back, his eyes full of worry. Others might not be able to see Master Yueqian's true state, but as someone who has fought side by side with Master Yueqian for the longest time, he could already see it from some subtle performances. Got a clue.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but said: "Why don't you withdraw first to recuperate your injuries? The King of Hell has been severely damaged and will definitely not appear again in the short term. I will keep an eye on this place."

"Let's wait a little longer..."

Master Yueqian turned around and glanced at Pei Tianshou. He knew that his injury would not be hidden from the subordinate who had been following him for the longest time. He smiled and said: "It is a foregone conclusion that my golden elixir will be damaged. It will be sooner or later." A little therapy doesn’t make a difference.”

"Will Jiang Feiyan really succeed?"

Pei Tianshou couldn't help but say.

"Even if you try hard to damage the golden elixir and severely injure that monster, it is still the King of Hell after all. You have been fighting with it for nearly a hundred years and still failed to take it down. Just because she brought the hundred to As a disciple, can it really be done?"

Master Yueqian replied calmly: "I am not absolutely sure whether it can be done, but she is indeed the most suitable candidate."

Pei Tianshou said: "She is indeed extremely talented. At a young age, she has already understood the enlightenment of Taoism and the Great Light Sword Technique. But no matter how powerful she is, she is just a true disciple..."

"Many elders and deacons who have served here for many years have not been able to take the position of guard general, but you have defied all opinions and insisted on helping her to the position of guard general. This matter has caused dissatisfaction among many people and has affected your reputation. It’s harmful…”

Master Yueqian said: "The battlefield of Heavenly Prison is very important to all major sects. Do you know why there has only been one real elder assigned to take charge here?"

"Because the King of Hell is too vigilant and alert, if it detects that the opponent's strength is too great, it will not be able to bear it, which will give rise to many strange abilities, making it even more difficult to deal with..."

"For the same reason, if we want to plan an ambush for the King of Heavenly Hell, we must not attract its attention. Therefore, the choice of detour to the enemy's rear is very critical. Although Jiang Feiyan's cultivation is not high, his Taoism is extremely superb, so I Only then can I say that she is the most suitable candidate.”

"I have been sitting on the ground for many years, and the results have been witnessed by the leaders of various factions. Those people are short-sighted and are nothing to worry about."

Pei Tianshou was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a reason behind this. Many people thought it was because of Jiang Feiyan's special nepotism, which was why Master Yue Qian favored her so much.

At this time, another person hurriedly climbed up the tower, but it was a general named Wu Yinquan.

"Master Qi, news just came back from the front line that the King of Hell has returned to the fourth area..."

The tower suddenly became extremely quiet.

Pei Tianshou immediately realized that the design location of the ambush plan was in the third area. If the King of Hell had successfully returned to the fourth area, wouldn't it mean that the plan had failed?

"Is the news accurate?" Master Yueqian asked.

Wu Yinquan replied: "I have confirmed it with the disciples involved in the ambush plan..."

Master Yueqian seemed to have become much older all of a sudden. His body swayed slightly, as if he was losing his footing. His energy, which had no flaws at all, suddenly became messy.

"Master Yueqian, you..."

Wu Yinquan was shocked. It was only then that he realized that the supreme commander who had cultivated Tongxuan was actually injured to such a serious extent.

"It seems that this is God's will..."

Master Yueqian smiled sadly and shook his head.

Pei Tianshou and Wu Yinquan were silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

After a pause, Master Yueqian asked again: "What are the casualties of the disciples who participated in the ambush plan?"

"The casualties were quite heavy...but this is secondary. It is said that after the plan failed, Jiang Feiyan suddenly disappeared, and no one could find her whereabouts. I felt that this matter was quite strange, and we should immediately strengthen the control and arrest her." Capture him and interrogate him thoroughly!"

"As the commander of the ambush plan, she bears unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the operation. What's more, she once issued a military order in front of all the soldiers. She must be severely punished this time in order to strictly enforce law and order in the military!"

Wu Yinquan said with bright eyes.

Only then did Pei Tianshou remember that Wu Yinquan was one of the people who was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Feiyan's taking the position of guarding general. Unexpectedly, he was so good at seizing opportunities. As soon as the incident came out, he immediately demanded severe punishment for Jiang Feiyan.

For this ambush plan, the coalition headquarters had been laid out for a long time and paid a huge price. Unexpectedly, it finally failed. Under such circumstances, even if Master Yueqian doted on Jiang Feiyan again, he would have to be punished.

Unexpectedly, Master Yueqian did not take up the challenge. Instead, he looked at Pei Tianshou with a tired look on his face and said, "From now on, you will be the temporary commander! I have been here for so many years. I’m a little tired, maybe it’s time to return to the Holy Altar Mountain of Taishang Immortal Sect for the rest of the time…”

Pei Tianshou was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Master Yueqian's body swaying slightly, as if he was about to lose his footing, and he quickly rushed forward to support him.

Wu Yinquan couldn't help but be filled with astonishment. Could it be that the meaning of Master Yueqian's words was that he wanted to take the initiative to resign?

The two escorted Master Yueqian down the tower.

Pei Tianshou's heart was filled with sadness.

The fact that Master Yueqian said what he just said shows that his golden elixir was extremely damaged and he could no longer suppress the King of Hell, so he had to resign.

Unexpectedly, the dignified real person who had been guarding here for nearly a hundred years would eventually end up like this.

Wu Yinquan's mind couldn't help but become active, and he was secretly thinking about the current situation of the major sects, and who was the most likely candidate to succeed Master Yueqian, so that he could find out the path to this successor as soon as possible...

Just as the three of them walked to the foot of the tower, a ray of warm sunshine suddenly shone on them.

This ray of sunshine, which was so normal, couldn't help but make the three people's bodies freeze at the same time.

Because there is no sunlight on the battlefield of Heavenly Prison, even during the day, it is just a haze.

Even the illusion created by the fallen demon may seem beautiful with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is not real sunlight.

But at this moment, what shines on the three people is real sunshine.

Not just the three of them, but all the people in the entire first area could not help but raise their heads at the same time and look at the rising sun in the sky.

"This is..." Pei Tianshou couldn't help but his lips trembled.

"The warm sun returns, and all demons are gone! The King of Heavenly Hell has been killed!" Master Yueqian said in great surprise.

"But hasn't the King of Heavenly Hell returned to the fourth area? This...how is this possible?"

Wu Yinquan's face was full of disbelief.

"good."

Master Yueqian turned back to look at him, with a smile in his eyes: "Even in the fourth area, the King of Hell was still killed!"

Wu Yinquan was stunned and couldn't say a word anymore.

Under the gaze of Master Yueqian, he suddenly felt like a clown on the stage...
