Chapter 466 The overall situation is important [Subscription required]

"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the return of the commander-in-chief."

When Zhou Chun returned to the First Battalion's base, Cheng Zhiming and all the First Battalion monks, who had been notified in advance, had already lined up in the base and were waiting for him.

When they saw him returning riding on the golden-winged tiger, these people, led by deputy commanders Cheng Zhiming and Yue Feng, bowed to him one after another to express their welcome.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. He was not very impressed by Cheng Zhiming's flattering behavior.

But he couldn't express it on his face, so he just waved his hand and said, "My dear brothers, you are too polite. I just came back to join the battle again. There is no need to be so polite."

Then he waved away everyone and only allowed the two deputy commanders to accompany him to the command post in the base.

"Commander, are you unhappy with my arrangement this time? I don't have any other intentions, I just want to..."

As soon as he entered the command post, Cheng Zhiming observed everyone's words and expressions, and with a nervous look on his face, he wanted to explain the purpose of the arrangement just now.

But Zhou Chun shook his head before he could finish and said, "Deputy Commander Cheng, there is no need to say more. How could I not know that you have good intentions? It's just that I don't like crowds and don't like to be in the spotlight. I don't mean to blame you!"

After saying that, he sat down on the main seat.

After hearing his explanation, Cheng Zhiming seemed to understand something. He smiled awkwardly and felt relieved.

At this moment, Yue Feng, who was always silent in front of Zhou Chun, suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Commander-in-chief, are you going to have another mission soon?"

His change surprised both Zhou Chun and Cheng Zhiming.

Then Zhou Chun said calmly: "Why did Deputy Commander Yue say that?"

"I am just guessing."

Yue Feng responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhou Chun couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard his words, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I will tell you that your guess is wrong. I haven't received any mission yet!"

"Yes, I understand."

Yue Feng responded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun frowned and ignored him. He just talked to Cheng Zhiming about the team's situation.

It was not until half a month after Zhou Chun returned to the team that he received a new task.

This time the mission is to have their first battalion send half of its men to participate in a tough battle. Zhou Chun can lead the team himself, or he can arrange for a deputy commander to lead the team.

This task really made Zhou Chun a little difficult to decide.

Wei Yong gave him the right to choose, which showed great respect and care for him.

But he had a lot to consider.

Because this battle involves not only Wei Yong's battalion, but also two other battalions, which means that there will be many variables on the front line.

If Zhou Chun led the team personally, it would be a great opportunity if someone really wanted to plot against him.

But if he didn't go, he would undoubtedly have missed an opportunity to make merit, and people might also think that after being listed among the "Seven Heroes of Heaven", he became timid and lost his enterprising spirit.

But Zhou Chun didn't have time to think too much. He only had less than half a day to think.

After some hesitation, Zhou Chun finally decided to act cautiously and asked Cheng Zhiming to take half of the troops to the battlefield for support, while he continued to stay in charge of the headquarters.

As long as he is on the battlefield, he is not afraid of not having the opportunity to make merit.

There is no need to be so anxious to show merit and give others the opportunity to use against you.

After making this decision, Zhou Chun personally sent Cheng Zhiming and others out of the base, and then he waited for the results of these people's battle in the base.

Now that the demon cultivators are weak, there is a high probability that they will win this battle.

However, Zhou Chun didn't know that shortly after he sent Cheng Zhiming and others away, the news reached a group of evil cultivators.

"Very good. Now that man has only half of his troops stationed in the base, and the Jindan-stage cultivator who protected him has also gone to the front line. This is the best time to kill him!"

In a certain gloomy demon palace, a young and handsome demon cultivator couldn't help but smile coldly and reveal a smug smile after reading the message in his hand.

This person was none other than the "Prince of the Netherworld" Yin Shaotian whom Zhou Chun had met on the battlefield!

As one of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo", Yin Shaotian had already developed the intention to kill Zhou Chun after learning that Zhou Chun killed Yan Wuji, the "Bloody Prince" who was as famous as himself.

It’s not that Yin Shaotian and Yan Wuji have a very good relationship. On the contrary, the two of them didn’t get along before and their relationship was very bad.

However, because the two were both one of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo" at the time and each was the representative of their own sect, many people in the Yuanmo Legion compared the two, and neither could subdue the other.

Now that "Bloody Prince" Yan Wuji is dead, this kind of comparison is naturally meaningless.

However, the former supporters of "Bloody Prince" Yan Wuji did not admit defeat. Some even believed that if Yin Shaotian, "Prince of the Netherworld", met Zhou Chun, he would be even more vulnerable in front of Zhou Chun's four-clawed thunder dragon.

Although what he said made a lot of sense, it still made the arrogant Yin Shaotian very angry.

In addition, the Yuanmo Legion had already offered a very high reward for Zhou Chun's head, so Yin Shaotian naturally developed a murderous intention towards Zhou Chun.

As long as Zhou Chun is killed, not only will those who say that he is "Prince of the Netherworld" is not as good as "Prince of Blood Evil" shut up, but he can also get rich rewards and become the strongest among the "Seven Evils of Yuanmo" in terms of reputation.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
So in the past six months, Yin Shaotian did a lot of work and kept a close eye on Zhou Chun's news.

Even in this process, he had already won over a group of demon cultivators who were willing to join him in killing Zhou Chun.

After all, he was not stupid. He knew that Zhou Chun's four-clawed thunder dragon was indeed a natural nemesis to him, and he also had many other powerful means of self-defense.

If he wanted to kill Zhou Chun, it would be impossible if he relied on himself alone.

After learning the latest information about Zhou Chun through the news channels, Yin Shaotian immediately sent out a message to gather people.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun probably didn't expect that even if he hid in the base, he would still attract the attention of the evil cultivators.

He was not alerted by the alarm until the demon cultivator appeared outside the base.

When Zhou Chun left his residence, he saw hundreds of demon cultivators appearing around the base.

The lowest level of these demon cultivators is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the leader is a demon cultivator at the early Golden Core Stage!
Also among them are the famous Purple Mansion period cultivators in the Yuanmo Legion, such as "Prince of the Netherworld" Yin Shaotian, "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng, and others.

Zhou Chun even saw the Leopard-tailed Witch who had escaped from him.

“These people came just for me!”

When Zhou Chun saw these familiar demon cultivators, he immediately understood why they appeared here.

Then his heart sank and he felt something was wrong.

It is obvious that since the enemy came specifically for him, they must have prepared sufficient means to deal with him.

Most of his cards have now been exposed, so this battle will be dangerous!
But he was a man who had seen the world after all, and although he had a bad feeling in his heart at this moment, he did not show any panic in his actions.

He first used all his strength to activate the formation to resist the attacks of the evil cultivators outside, and at the same time sent out several "Thousand Mile Communication Talismans" in his hand to ask for help from the battalion headquarters and other nearby garrisons.

At the same time, he also lit several kinds of distress fireworks into the sky, so that they could be seen within a hundred or two hundred miles.

The Tianling Legion has deployed many patrol teams outside various garrisons. As long as a nearby patrol team sees the fireworks for help, they will immediately help call for help from other garrisons, forming a beacon signal effect.

But Zhou Chun also knew that since the enemy had come all the way for him, it meant that they had already taken this matter into consideration.

He may not be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive!
Not only Zhou Chun knew this, but others must have known it as well.

Outside the base, when seeing Zhou Chun's fireworks for help, "Prince of the Netherworld" Yin Shaotian, who had planned this operation, burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, Zhou Zhengchun, don't struggle in vain. Since I have come here specially for you, I have naturally made sufficient preparations. Don't expect anyone to come and save you in time. You will definitely die today!"

"Hehehe, what Fellow Daoist Yin said is absolutely right. No one can save a young man like you today. After today, there will no longer be a so-called 'Dragon Master'!"

The "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng also laughed strangely, looking like a smug villain.

The Leopard Tail Witch also said with murderous intent in her eyes, "Zhou Zhengchun, when you killed my friend and took my magic weapon, did you ever think that one day you would die at my hands? Today I will avenge Fellow Daoist Yu and the others!"

Zhou Chun's expression did not change as he listened to what these people said.

He had seen all kinds of big scenes. He had been chased by the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe and had no way to escape. The situation was much more dangerous than it is now.

Although the situation is dangerous now, it has not reached that level yet.

He did not respond to the shouting of these demon cultivators, but just slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the Thunder Dragon, letting it kill those demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage first while the formation was still there.

Although the formation at the First Battalion’s base was not a forbidden formation, it was of the same level as the “Five-Directions Miro Formation” on the Zhou family’s Jiufeng Ridge, and was even stronger in defense.

Even if there is an early Jindan cultivator and several powerful late Zifu cultivators among the enemies, it will not be a problem to resist for a while.

But since Yin Shaotian and others came here specifically to deal with Zhou Chun, they naturally put a lot of effort into breaking the formation.

Among the monks they brought this time were many from the Corpse Demon Sect and the Yin Gui Sect. When they attacked the formation, they released a large number of refined corpses and evil ghosts as helpers.

In addition, some monks from the Beast Demon Palace released a number of monsters and poisonous insects to join the attack.

Although Lei Jiao Baibai was able to restrain those corpse-refining ghosts, he was no match for four hands with two fists and was completely unable to control them.

Moreover, in order to break the formation as quickly as possible, those demon cultivators even spared no expense in using a large number of magic talismans and lightning beads for assistance.

Therefore, in less than a quarter of an hour, the protective formation of the First Battalion’s base began to be in danger and could no longer hold on!
At this moment, Deputy Commander Yue Feng suddenly said loudly: "Commander, the enemy's offensive is fierce. I am afraid we can't hold out for much longer. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Hearing his words, many monks from the First Brigade turned their gazes towards Zhou Chun, with expectations in their eyes. For Zhou Chun, the leader who had repeatedly created miracles since taking office, the monks from the First Brigade were filled with awe and admiration.

Now, after Yue Feng's "reminder", these people have realized that the seemingly desperate situation before them may not be really desperate!

Zhou Chun, the commander who has repeatedly created miracles, may be able to create another miracle this time!

But when Zhou Chun saw this scene, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He looked at Yue Feng with gloomy eyes and said in a deep voice: "Decision? What decision? Does Deputy Commander Yue have any good plan to repel the enemy?"

Yue Feng seemed not to notice the change in his expression, and answered directly with a firm tone: "I dare to say that these demon cultivators outside seem to have come here specifically for you, the commander. If you were not in the base, they might not have attacked the base so hard!"

Hearing his words, many monks from the First Brigade changed their expressions and looked at the two commanders with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

Few of the immortal cultivators who can come to the battlefield are fools.

On the contrary, most of them are well versed in human nature.

If they had previously only been motivated by the desire to survive, and were led by Yue Feng's words to develop somewhat unrealistic expectations of Zhou Chun.

Now Yue Feng's words made them feel the taste of infighting among the top leaders.

Under such circumstances, the only two Purple Mansion Stage cultivators in the base were actually at odds with each other and were scheming against each other. This situation made the other cultivators in the base even more panicked.

What was manifested was that they were significantly slower in dealing with the offensive of the demon cultivators outside, and were no longer as resolute as before.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Chun was furious. He looked at Yue Feng coldly and said, "Deputy Commander Yue, do you want to expel me from the station?"

"I have absolutely no such intention! I just want to ask the commander to show mercy and save the lives of me and these two hundred brothers!"

Yue Feng said this and bowed deeply to Zhou Chun, "Commander, please put the overall situation first and take the initiative to break through!"

"The overall situation is important? Do you really know what the overall situation means?"

Zhou Chun looked at Yue Feng with a sneer on his face, and said with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "This commander tells you that this commander is the overall situation!"

After saying this, he glanced at the other monks of the First Brigade and said, "You should know that if this commander dies here, it will be a huge blow to our Tianling Army. Those demon cultivators outside will spread this matter wildly. Can you afford the consequences?"

These words made the monks change color slightly and dared not answer.

Regardless of whether what Zhou Chun said made sense or not, Zhou Chun is now the leader of the brigade and the person with the highest cultivation strength. Who would dare to say in front of him that his life is more important than his?

Even Yue Feng's expression changed, as if he didn't expect Zhou Chun to say that.

But what made him change color and even terrified was yet to come!

Zhou Chun suddenly said again: "However, Deputy Commander Yue's words just now did remind me. Why did those demon cultivators come here right after Deputy Commander Cheng and his men left, instead of earlier or later? Is there a traitor among us?"

When saying this, Zhou Chun's eyes clearly fell on Yue Feng.

Many cultivators' gazes were also shifted to Yue Feng under his influence, and there was also a look of surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Feng couldn't help but shout angrily: "What do you mean, Commander? Do you suspect that I am a traitor?"

"Zhou didn't say that. Why is Deputy Commander Yue so excited? Is he guilty?"

Zhou Chun said this in a sarcastic tone, but his eyes were cold.

His eyes made Yue Feng feel even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Zhou Zhengchun, don't go too far!"

"Is it that Zhou is bullying too much, or is it that you are guilty of a crime? You know the answer!"

Zhou Chun said this and gave a stern order: "Now I order Deputy Commander Yue Feng and I to lead a team of troops to break out. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed on the spot!"

Upon hearing his order, Yue Feng was immediately extremely angry and shouted: "No, you are using public power to take revenge for personal gain. I don't accept it. I will not obey your order!!"

As he said this, he even took out his own magic weapon.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sneered and nodded, "Very good, you are the first person who dares to openly disobey my orders and attack me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag, releasing the golden-winged tiger and the golden-armored mountain turtle stone.

"kill him!"

Zhou Chun let out a low, cold shout, and immediately used the "Golden Flame Demon-Slaying Sword" and "Golden Light Demon-Destroying Mirror" to attack Yue Feng.

"You dare! I am a true disciple of Huoyun Palace. If you dare..."

Yue Feng let out a hysterical roar, as if he couldn't believe that Zhou Chunzhen dared to attack him.

But before he could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by various attacks from Zhou Chun and his spirit pets!

The result was obvious. In a one-against-four situation, Yue Feng couldn't even last two rounds of attacks before being killed on the spot by Zhou Chun with a single sword strike!

This scene immediately deeply shocked all the monks in the base.

No one expected that before the demon cultivators outside could break in, a fight broke out between two of their high-ranking officials, and Zhou Chun actually killed Yue Feng without hesitation!
After Zhou Chun killed Yue Feng, he collected his belongings and body, then looked at everyone and shouted, "Yue Feng collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, disobeyed the orders of his superiors, committed treason and attacked his superiors. He has now been executed on the spot by this commander, and you are all witnesses!"

"Yes, I am willing to testify!"

A cultivator seemed to be impressed by Zhou Chun's spirit and responded involuntarily.

Then the other monks seemed to have just woken up from their dreams and hurriedly followed suit, saying, "We are also willing to testify!"

At this time, they seemed to have forgotten that there were still demon cultivators outside attacking the formation, and forgot the dangers outside. They just wanted to survive in front of Zhou Chun.

I was afraid that if I dared to say a word of opposition, I would follow in Yue Feng’s footsteps!
But Zhou Chun obviously did not forget the threat outside. After quickly dealing with Yue Feng, the troublemaker, he immediately gave an order in a deep voice: "Now I, the commander, will personally break through and lead those demon cultivators away. You must hold on to the formation with all your strength and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

It was obvious that the monks from the first brigade were all extremely shocked and surprised when they heard his words.

Previously, Zhou Chun had righteously said that he was the overall situation and that his life was more precious than anyone else's.

But now he is suddenly willing to take the initiative to break through and lure away those evil cultivators. This huge change really makes it difficult for people to keep up with his thinking pace.

However, Zhou Chun ignored the surprise of these people. He directly collected all the spirit pets, then punched his chest and spat out a ball of blood.

Then he was seen quickly making hand gestures with both hands and actually performing the blood escape technique that the Blood Bone Sect's magic cultivators were best at!
Because the protective formation blocked the vision of cultivators from the outside world, they had no idea what was happening inside. They just felt that the resistance of the formation had suddenly decreased a lot.

This made them extremely happy, as they thought the formation would be broken soon.

But at this moment, a blood-red light suddenly rushed out from the formation, and instantly rushed out from a gap where there were no Purple Mansion cultivators, and flashed away into the distance.

Seeing this, the Jindan early stage demon cultivator's eyes changed immediately, and he couldn't help but shout, "It was that young man, he used the blood escape technique to break through!"

Before he finished shouting, he waved his life-saving magic weapon "Hundred Ghosts and Thousands of Souls Banner" in his hand, and a gray-black magic light instantly broke through the air and hit Zhou Chun who turned into a light of blood to escape.

But Zhou Chun seemed to have anticipated this. While flying, he still activated a third-grade, top-grade water-based magic talisman, which transformed into the shadow of a giant blue-black whale and swallowed up the gray-black magic light.

Although the giant whale's phantom was quickly dispersed by the gray-black magic light, the magic light also lost the opportunity to continue chasing Zhou Chun.

"Chase him, we must not let that kid get away!"

"Prince of the Netherworld" Yin Shaotian, who finally came to his senses, shouted with a gloomy face, and immediately took back his three evil ghosts that were attacking the formation and chased after Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, the "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng also followed without hesitation.

Only the Leopard Tail Witch hesitated for a while and did not follow. Instead, she led the remaining twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators to continue attacking the first team’s base.

Besides, after Zhou Chun broke through the encirclement by relying on the blood escape technique, he also knew that it would be difficult to escape from the pursuit of the Jindan stage cultivators by relying solely on this escape technique.

So after running about a hundred miles, he fell straight into a valley.

Immediately, he raised his hand and wiped the storage bag, and a dark green flag-shaped magic weapon appeared in his hand.

He quickly injected his magic power into the dark green flag and waved it. A large amount of dark green poisonous fog rushed out from the flag, quickly covering the surrounding area of ​​dozens of feet.

After a dozen breaths, a powerful gray-black magic light shot out from a distance, instantly sweeping away the dark green poisonous fog.

But Zhou Chun was missing.

The Yin Guimen's early Jindan demon cultivator was slightly stunned by this scene.

Immediately he seemed to understand, and with a sneer on his face he took out an ochre-colored talisman from his storage bag. He immediately activated the talisman and transformed it into an ochre-colored giant hammer that smashed heavily onto the ground near the valley.

Rumble!
All of a sudden, the ground below was shaking violently, as if a dragon was turning over.

However, what made the Yin Guimen's early Jindan demon cultivator's face change drastically was that this "Mountain-Shaking and Earth-Shaking Talisman" which was specially used to interrupt the earth escape technique, was unable to shake Zhou Chun out who was hiding underground!

At this moment, Yin Shaotian, who was chasing from behind, also shouted loudly: "Uncle Lu, use the 'Earth-peeping Compass' quickly, we must not let that kid get away!"

"I understand!"

The Yin Guimen Jindan early stage cultivator responded in a low voice, and immediately took out a khaki compass magic weapon from his storage bag. He raised his hand and sent a stream of magic power into the compass, activating the object.

Then he threw the object to the ground.

As soon as the khaki compass touched the ground, the needle on it began to rotate rapidly, and soon pointed to a certain direction.

Seeing this, the Yin Gui Men Jindan early stage cultivator immediately revealed a sinister smile and shouted, "Damned youngster, let's see where you can run now!"

As he said this, he put away the khaki compass magic weapon, and following its guidance, he chased in the direction of the compass needle.
