Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Guzi Pass is the most important pass in the north of Daji. The pass is built along the mountain range. The reason why it is called a powerful pass is not because of how high the mountain range is. The mountain range is not high, it is just long.

The mystery lies in the fact that the rock of this mountain contains a miraculous power that can weaken the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing the mountain range to dry up and turn white. There are not even any living things, or green trees or flowers in the mountains.

The entire mountain range is like a pale petrified dragon stretching across the land.

The reason why it can become a strong pass to resist the Qigong practitioners from Beiyuan from entering the hinterland of Longyuan is that the city walls of the pass are made of the stone called "Soul-Swallowing Stone".

This resulted in the magic power of the Qigong practitioners bombarding the city wall, but not only was it unable to create a gap in the wall, but the magic power was instead absorbed by the wall, making it even stronger.

Therefore, in the end it was forced to evolve into the most traditional siege.

now……

Outside the Martial Temple of Guziguan, suddenly, a golden light flashed, and thirty to fifty young men walked out of the temple.

"This is the Guzi Pass that has blocked the Beiyuan Qigong practitioners for half a year!"

After a young man walked out of the Martial Temple, he subconsciously saw the gray-white mountain wall at the end of the horizon in front of him, which almost reached the clouds.

"Wait, why is the sky outside the wall golden?" He suddenly shouted.

"Are you the young officers who graduated from Shenwu Mountain?" At this time, a scholar came from not far from the Martial Temple, followed by a group of soldiers. The middle-aged scholar smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I am Cui Gu, the chief military officer in the governor-general's tent. I have been ordered to wait for the officers here. I wonder which one of you is Major General Chen?"

"This is our Junior Brother Chen!" Immediately, a group of students stepped back and made way for a handsome young man.

"My name is Chen Ku, nice to meet you, Mr. Cui." Chen Ku clasped his hands and said, "We are here to report to the Governor-General on orders from the court. Please lead the way."

After Chen Ku finished speaking, dozens of students behind him bowed and saluted.

They and Chen Ku were all graduating students who reported to Guziguan at the same time, but unlike Chen Ku, Chen Ku was awarded the title of Major General Longyuan, a third-rank honorary title, and when he joined the army, he was even the vanguard general of the right army.

Most of these students are at most a thousand-man commander or deputy general, and are grassroots officers trained by the Shenwu Academy for the most difficult front lines.

"Greetings, Major General Chen." The chief clerk named Cui Gu immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

The rank of third-rank major general is one of the top five official titles in the entire marshal's tent, not to mention that he is the right-wing vanguard general appointed by the court.

"I dare not." Chen Ku bowed, and looked at the golden sky outside the city, and asked: "But Chen has the same question as my senior brother just now. What is the sky outside the city..."

Upon hearing this, Cui Gu's face immediately became solemn. He turned his head to look at the golden sky outside the city and said:
"That is the leader of the Qigong practitioners of the Yuan Kingdom who attacked our Guzi Pass... the Lotus Temple Master!"

"What! Then..."

The students behind Chen Ku immediately changed color:

"So, he is attacking the city now?"

Even Chen Ku had a solemn expression as he looked at the golden light outside the city, which stretched for hundreds of miles, like a golden ocean, constantly hitting the sky here.

But every time I can't cross the invisible barrier of the city wall.

Chen Ku focused his gaze across the sky for dozens of miles, and vaguely seemed to see a black dot the size of a rice grain in the sky on his side, which looked like a human figure.

Before he could continue to use his eyesight, he heard Cui Gu say:
"The attack has already lasted for half a month. The attacker, the Lotus Temple Master, is the owner of the Lotus Cave Heaven, one of the ten major cultivation holy places in Yuan Kingdom. He is a true Fourteenth Realm Ascension Master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku and the people behind him changed color.

Fourteenth realm ascension major overhaul!
"Even a Fourteenth Realm Ascendant Master can't break through this nun's barrier?"

All the students once again respected the power of Gu Ziguan's Absolute Spiritual Stone.

"It's not the Absolute Spirit Stone, but someone is blocking it."

Cui Gu sighed and said, "A great Ascendant of the Fourteenth Realm can shrink the void in the blink of an eye, and it is not difficult for him to break the city. The reason why Guzi Pass has not been broken is entirely because Marshal Li blocked the Lotus Temple Master alone and has been in a stalemate with him until today."

Marshal Li...

"That figure, is it the mountain chief?" Chen Ku's eyesight was working at its limit at this time, and he could vaguely see clearly that under the impact of the golden ocean that stretched for hundreds of miles, the rice-grain-sized figure was actually Li Shentong, the mountain chief of their Shenwu Mountain and the governor of Longyuan and Taiyue provinces.

"It's the Governor!"

"The Governor fought against a Fourteenth Realm Ascended Monk all by himself?"

Everyone looked at each other and then looked over there.

Chen Ku immediately asked, "Master Shanzhang, you are at the thirteenth level against the fourteenth level, and you actually..."

Cui Gu seemed to understand what Chen Ku wanted to say.

After all, he is the master of a great holy land.

Li Shentong was able to forcibly stop it even though his realm had dropped one level.

"The Marshal has in his hand an 'Emperor's Divine Armor' bestowed by the Emperor Taizu. It is the incarnation of a Fourteenth Realm deity bestowed by the ancient Emperor. Wearing it can give him the strength of the Fourteenth Realm, but in the long run, it won't last too long."

Cui Gu had a hint of worry in his eyes:
"And the reason why the Marshal had to go was because he was forced to fight by the Lotus Temple Master who suddenly came and killed him. The reason was because of Shenwu Mountain..."

"It's the day of the big exam..."

Chen Ku and everyone else looked solemn.

He thought of everything that those twelfth-level death warriors and Qi-cultivators had said. Li Shentong was trapped by their fourteenth-level Qi-cultivators.

It turns out that it started from that day.

"Then who is the person in charge inside the pass now?" Chen Ku asked.

"It's a military advisor."

Cui Gu said:

"It was the military advisor who asked me to come and greet you generals. Now please follow me to the marshal's tent to register your names."

"please!"

At that moment, Chen Ku and dozens of his men, led by the chief secretary, headed towards the big tent.

On the way, I also heard the origin and name of the military advisor who is currently in charge of the city.

Xie Xuanji is the 37th generation descendant of Guiqi Valley, one of the seven holy places of martial arts in Daji. He learned from the reclusive master Tianshu Elder and practiced "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu" and "Strategies of Zongheng Bihe".

He was proficient in the method of deduce star tracks and could observe the numbers of Ziwei at night. He could predict the southward route of the Northern Yuan Qigong practitioner with an error of no more than thirty miles.

Not long after, a group of young students and Chen Ku, led by Cui Gu, arrived outside a hall.

About to enter.

But at this moment...

woo~~~
woo~~~
Suddenly, the sound of drums and horns came from outside the city.

next moment,
There were voices coming from the sky:
"Report to the commander's camp, the enemy reinforcements have arrived, the one who came calls himself Yuan Wutian, and is challenging us at the entrance to Peak No. 131!"

Yuan Wutian?
Is he the genius from the Sanxing Cave Holy Land who defeated Xiang Kunlun, the Five-clawed Dragon King? (End of this chapter)
