My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 85 National War (First Order)

It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a long time had passed.

The scene before my eyes should have appeared in my worst nightmare.

But at this moment, the wind was so real, and the noise slowly rising from the untouchables was so loud that even the proud warriors who were as still as a mountain began to look at each other in panic.

It was as if something invisible that could not be violated, pursued or resisted was quietly shattered.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

The noble Feng Lin Tianjiao screamed like a duck.

His skin quickly turned red and he was visibly manic. He almost didn't care about anything, not his decency, not his dignity, not anything. He could hardly stand and could only roll and crawl.

Rush towards the outside of the city where the airship crashed!
The Eight-Heavenly Army quickly caught up, and even Old Xi, who had been calm and composed, became flustered.

"You stay here!"

As expected of Fenglin Tianjiao, he lost his composure for a moment before coming to his senses. But at this moment, Wen Renzhuo's eyes were red. He did not calm down, but his mind was completely replaced by madness.

Wen Renzhuo hissed, "You stay here! Protect the prince! Watch over Lin County! If Li Bailong or anyone else dares to come to rescue or hold the prince hostage, kill him, kill him, kill him!"

Mr. Xi stopped and his eyes flickered.

He was also confused.

Wen Renzhuo roared and ordered the officers of the family's personal army: "Take all the soldiers of our family and head towards Baihua Valley, block the mountain gate, and wait for my order - then charge in! Kill them all!"

At this moment, the only people who can always stand behind him must be his fellow tribesmen.

After saying that, he led the Fenglin Tianjun and ran wildly towards the direction where the airship fell.

No matter what, we have to get the core!

——Otherwise, none of us will live!
The square was in chaos, people were talking about everything, no one knew what had happened, no one knew why the sacred object in the sky caught fire and fell, but everyone's conversation seemed to gradually become lighter.

The mountains looming over Lin County seemed to have been moved aside by an invisible hand.

The strange object flying in the sky was wrapped in flames, and fell to the wilderness with a loud rumble. Not only did everyone in Lin County witness it, but many people outside the city were also watching, some were surprised, some were stunned, and some were at a loss.

Jiang Lishu stood on the top of the mountain, staring at the figure that was avoiding the flaming fragments and flying towards the ground, his eyes serious.

It was not until a white umbrella flower bloomed in the air that he breathed a sigh of relief and floated down the mountain.

Uncle Seventh Master was confused for a moment as he watched the sky fire descending violently.

Fenglinhuoshan is the leader in the world's military strategy, on par with the Cao Gang, and one of the most powerful forces in the world. It has lasted to this day, is ancient and sacred, enough to make all pride bow and all justice bow its head. But a few years ago, there was an equally stupid man who faced this ancient and powerful force and did a fearless and foolish act.

Fool.

She lowered her eyes and held the token in her hand.

Brother, it's better than you thought.

"It's done."

The people in Baihua Valley also heard the swift thunder that cut through the long night, and everyone had different expressions as they watched the sky fire fall.

"This traitor really did something crazy!"

Lian Yueyao said coldly: "I'll go catch him and bring him back to reflect on his mistakes!"

Wei Henglan reached out to stop her second sister.

"With Sixth Sister taking care of him, he should be fine. He has already made a plan... If Baihua Valley comes forward to rescue him, it will make things even more troublesome." Third Uncle raised her head, worry and sighs coexisting in her eyes. But who told her to teach Li Bailong to be like this? Now every decision made by this child is within expectations.

"He finally made this decision and planned to do it happily. He seems to have no regrets, but if his actions affect his master, I'm afraid he will never be happy for the rest of his life."

Third Master said softly, "Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Lian Yueyao's eyes changed from anger to helplessness.

"I will go and invite fellow Taoists from Xuanyuan Sect to come out and set up the battle array and lightning strikes. Even if Fenglin Huoshan leads his troops to charge, they must consider the consequences. We can hold out until the Sect Master returns and reaches an agreement, and then this matter can be resolved."

Wei Henglan said, "Second sister, go ask Fifth Sister to come out and take charge. Xuanyuan Sect is ultimately an external force. We can rely on it, but we can't depend on it... What happens next is important. The harder we control Fenglin Volcano, the less pressure there will be on Sanlang. That's it! Get ready for a fierce fight!"

The second uncle responded, but couldn't help asking, "Where is Li Bailong going to escape to?"

escape?
Wei Henglan shook her head but smiled bitterly in her heart.

The kid is meticulous and very good at destroying people's hearts. He is even better at killing people after destroying their hearts. After doing such an earth-shattering thing, how could he just walk away? It is obvious what he wants to do next.

I hope Xuanyuan Sect can protect him after this incident...

Lin County.

Things are in a mess.

Almost all the Fenglin warriors were mobilized, either following Wenren Zhuo to rescue the wreckage of the airship, or rushing to Baihua Valley to make a last stand. Only a handful of people remained in Lin County.

Too little to control the situation.

So little that the prince felt embarrassed.

He came to Lin County on the secret order of the Emperor's uncle, but was invited by Wenren Zhuo before he set out. It was not forbidden for a child of the royal family to make friends with the geniuses of the six major sects. The two men had known each other for a long time, exchanged intelligence tasks, and hit it off immediately.

There was nothing unusual about his own task. King Zhao liked to assign some strange tasks to the royal children anyway. If they completed the tasks well, they would be encouraged and rewarded. If they did not complete the tasks well, there would be no severe punishment. After all, everyone knew that the royal uncle was kind and benevolent.

He just saw an opportunity in this incident to see if he could get any benefits for himself... After all, although the royal family has no worries about food and clothing, if they want other things, they have to earn it themselves.

Unexpectedly, the mission that seemed almost certain to be accomplished has turned out like this!

The prince was somewhat bewildered, looking at the chaos around him, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Now all the officials were under house arrest, Lin County was in disarray, and the booksellers were all arrested. How would things end? Who would end it? Also, where should I start with the task that the uncle gave me?

Wu Wei cried and shouted like a night owl: "——The drum sounded! Ah Sheng! The drum sounded!"

So fucking noisy!
The prince was annoyed and kicked the old man over: "Shut up!"

At the same time, the rumbling sound of the airship crashing could be heard, like the wind in the distance.

"It's ringing! It's ringing!"

Wu Wei had gone through a drastic change and was already insane. His internal breath was weak and he was no different from a madman. However, the thunderous sound flooded into his mind, and Dengwen Drum was his only obsession.

Drum! Drum! Drum!
Gathering his last bit of strength, Wu Wei jumped up. All the soldiers around him had been dispatched and there was chaos everywhere. No one paid attention to what he was going to do.

— Ah Sheng! Beat the drum! Grandpa will help you beat the drum!
The prince was extremely annoyed. After kicking Wu Wei over, he started thinking about something. Suddenly, he heard the wind whistling. Wu Wei pushed him away like a mad tiger and stumbled towards the Dengwen Drum.

The royal family member was almost knocked off balance, and their gorgeous clothes were stained with the blood and stench of the other party. Seeing that the old man was about to run and beat the drum again, the nobleman's face was distorted with malice.

Damn it! Knock your mother! Isn’t this a mess enough?
The folding fan in his hand was straightened and swung through the air, striking the old man in the back.

Wu Wei's mind was in a state of confusion, his internal strength was completely gone, and he no longer knew what to do or what to avoid.

The sword flashed, and Mu Qingge, who had been guarding here, stepped out of the crowd and drew his sword to cut off the folding fan.

soy Mujer!
The prince's eyes were dark and malicious, and he shouted, "Master Xi! She wants to save people! Kill her!"

Mu Qingge witnessed A Sheng's death.

When the young man ran towards the Dengwen Drum, she tried to throw out the Lingyu Sect token, but a bug occurred, causing the Lingyu Sect disciples to protect the young man. Unfortunately, the token flew into the air and was shot down.

Now that Fenglin Volcano has undergone drastic changes, it is unwise to stand out, just like a mad dog that wants to vent its anger on others. However, Ah Sheng's remains are not far away, and she cannot convince herself to just stand by and watch.

She looked at Xi Lao, who was as powerful as a devil, sighed, and tried to make a final resistance.

"This is the Lingyu Sect's talisman, I..."

The palm wind blew the talisman away.

Old Xi looked at Mu Qingge, who took a few steps back and spit out a mouthful of blood, with a cruel look on his face... He was also to blame for the crash of the airship, and wanted to use cruel means to cover up the fear in his heart.

Wu Wei rushed to the Dengwen Drum regardless of everything and struggled to lift the drumstick.

"You want to save him?" Xi Lao said coldly, "Watch him die first, and then you die."

The Dengwen Drum has been specially designed so that unqualified people will not be able to strike it. Every time it is struck, there will be a huge force that will rebound. The more times it is struck, the more the force of the rebound will multiply.

This ensures that only "humans" can strike three times and the sound can be heard by heaven.

With Wu Wei's martial arts, two drum hits would seriously damage his vitality, and this was when he was at his peak... But now he has no internal energy at all, and one drum hit would cause him to break bones and tendons like Ah Sheng.

Mu Qingge held the knife and leaned forward to gather strength.

"Out of control."

Old Xi waved his sword casually and rushed forward.

The next moment, a loud wind roared from the city gate, like the wind coming from Wu Mountain. A majestic figure descended from the sky, forced Xi Lao back, picked up Mu Qingge, and came to Wu Wei, all in one go.

The other hand had already grabbed the drumstick, preventing the old man from dying from beating the drum.

Mu Qingge escaped death and couldn't believe it: "...Senior Brother Xiong!"

Xiong Jingyan nodded to her and said, "Captain Mu, you protect the weak and face strong enemies with your sword. Your courage is far superior to that of ordinary people like us. You are on par with Brother Li."

He looked at Ah Sheng lying on the ground, a look of pity flashed in his eyes. He took off his coat and covered the young man's broken body.

Wu Wei shook the drumstick desperately. "Brother Wu, Xiong is busy with official business. He rushed all the way and finally he is late."

He bowed to A Sheng and apologized to Wu Wei.

There is no one else in the old man's world, and hearing the news from the drum is his only obsession.

After being shocked and angry, Old Xi saw who was coming and his eyes changed. It seemed that he had found an opportunity and shouted: "Lingyu Sect! It is you! I knew it was you who were behind this!"

The airship crashed, what a crime, even he could not escape the heavy responsibility, but if the Lingyu Sect was behind it, then he could argue that it was not a crime of war... Yes! This was definitely a conspiracy of the Lingyu Sect!
"The Lingyu Sect does not lie. We did not do this and we knew nothing about it."

Xiong Jingyan chuckled as he spoke: "Who would have thought that such a daring bastard would dare to do such an earth-shattering thing without any endorsement, protection or promise? Hey, the elders have a good eye for this. This person and the Lingyu Sect are a perfect match!"

"What are you talking about!?" Xi Lao sneered, "It's useless to quibble. Everyone knows that you..."

"It's not an excuse."

Xiong Jingyan sighed again: "We really didn't intend to do this. We only intended to confront you and kill your prestige, save Brother Li, and invite him to join our faction. Who knew that I ran out to ask for help last night, and now I'm back. In less than a day, things have turned out like this..."

He looked up to the sky and sighed, as if lamenting the impermanence of life and the fact that things in the world are beyond one's control.

Even a sect as strong as Lingyu can only feel helpless at the hands of fate.

He smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, even if it wasn't us who did it, it would become us who did it."

Xiong Jingyan kept talking to himself.

But his calm appearance made Old Xi even more uneasy.

It was like a dark and terrifying mountain rain, rolling and gathering under a group of calm dark clouds.

"Well," Xiong Jingyan said calmly, as if he had made up his mind, "In order to avoid the elders having difficulty in making a decision, and me being in a dilemma, now that things have come to this, let's do it."

He bowed to Wu Wei again and said, "Senior, let me take care of beating the drum."

After saying that, he lightly took the drumstick from the other person's hand and helped him to the back.

He lifted the 480-pound drumstick with one hand, and it was as light as a bamboo pole.

Yet it is as heavy as a mountain.

The drumstick was lifted as if it were a light weight and struck the Dengwen drum.

The loud noise shook the whole county.

The prince screamed, "Stop him!"

If the Lingyu Sect beats the drum to report news, even if it’s just twice, things will become a big deal!

Xiong Jingyan's face remained calm as he launched his second attack.

The sound was like a rock falling in a calm lake, shaking the area and even the states and counties heard it!

Old Xi wanted to stop him immediately, but Xiong Jingyan's glance actually made his heart tremble, as if he had overlooked something all along... a strange premonition stopped him from taking any action.

The third strike—reaches the ears of heaven!
"What are you standing there for!" The prince almost screamed - the third strike! This will be recorded! The court will come to see it! And I'm involved! I came here on the orders of the emperor's uncle, and someone is beating the drum here! Aren't you a master? How can you allow him to strike three times so easily...

thump.

Fourth time.

The prince turned around in surprise.

After continuously striking the Dengwen Drum, with the doubled recoil force, Xiong Jingyan actually struck it for the fourth time!
Boom, boom, boom.

Five times, six times, seven times.

The sounds of the drums overlapped and roared like thunder. Even the prince, a member of the royal family whose cultivation was not very high, showed horror after realizing it belatedly, let alone Old Xi!

The old man in black's eyes changed from suspicion, to uneasiness, to shock, and finally to unbelievable horror.

Until the ninth time.

It was as if tens of millions of musical instruments were vibrating in the air at the same time. The Dengwen Drum broke in response, and the four-hundred-and-eighty-pound hammer shattered this ridiculous joke. The breaking sound merged into the last drumbeat, as if it was not the drum that was shattered, but the confusion in Wu Wei's heart, illuminating his confused mind like lightning.

His cloudy eyes became clear, he looked at the broken drum, and felt as if something was shattered, his breathing became easier, and something was sprouting in his mind.

Those were the seeds that had existed in youth...that had withered and died, but were now stirring again.

Xiong Jingyan put down the drumstick, his face calm, and looked at the two people present.

The prince took a few steps back. He remembered that he had scolded the other party last night.

Old Xi tried his best to keep his voice calm: "...Who are you? With this level of cultivation, it is impossible for you to be the helmsman of a county. Who are you?"

Xiong Jingyan ignored him and looked at the prince instead.

"You said last night that the royal family didn't need to be taught by the Lingyu Sect on how to act, and you also said that you would go to the Lintai to report me. Today, I want to teach you a lesson and teach you a lesson."

The prince stepped back, his face pale: "I... I am a royal family, I am the son of the sixteenth king..."

"Yes, you are a member of the royal family. If I kill you, it will bring shame to the royal family, so I will not touch you."

The prince looked delighted.

"However, you carried out the secret order from the Emperor's uncle, but you fanned the flames and instigated provocations in Lin County, which eventually led to the outbreak of a national war between Fenglin Huoshan and Lingyu Sect. You have caused such a catastrophic disaster, and I think the clan government will skin you alive!"

Not friction, not dispute, not quarrel, not fight.

Rather, it is a national war.

National…National War! ?

The prince was startled at first, then his face turned pale and he shouted wildly, "Nonsense! When did I ever fan the flames or instigate any trouble? Where is the national war?"

But the other party did not answer him. Xiong Jingyan didn't even look at him. His arrogant attitude was as if he was talking to an ant, as if telling him - things have come to this point, do you still care about having another royal family?
Mr. Xi seemed to have understood something.

He still couldn't believe it: "You...you actually want to..."

"I didn't want to do that. I just wanted to teach you a lesson and get you to leave. But who told you to provoke Li Bailong? The airship was blown down by him, and our Lingyu Sect happened to bring people here. If we say it wasn't us and we knew nothing about it, will Fenglin Huoshan believe us?"

Xiong Jingyan was helpless and spread his hands and shrugged, but his smile was so wanton.

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you. You also remember what I said last night. I said you were so rude to me, but you had more people last night and I couldn't beat you. I will definitely teach you a lesson tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is tomorrow, and tomorrow is today. Now I am here, and my people are here too. It's many to many. You said it yourself last night..."

His smile was as generous and gentle as always, and the three kinds of Qi, wind, fire and frost, rose from his body, intertwined and merged into one: "——Come and experience my high skills."

At the same time, Wenren's personal army gathered the soldiers and horses stationed at the four gates, gathered 300 armored warriors, and rushed towards the Hundred Flowers Valley. They only obeyed the orders of the geniuses of their own clan, and were to surround the Hundred Flowers Valley and be ready to attack at any time.

While marching, they heard the sound of drums coming from the direction of the county town behind them.

An officer stopped and looked surprised: "Who is beating the drum?"

"Don't worry, just obey orders!"

The rumbling of drums was so continuous that even these skilled warriors were frightened.

"Speed ​​up the pace!"

The military commander issued an order, and Lin County was afraid of drastic changes.

Because of this, they had to reach Baihua Valley at a faster speed to seize any possible opportunity. The airship fell, and the continuous drumbeats made him feel even more uneasy. He angrily cursed: "Just beat the drums, why beat so many times, this is not a marching drum..."

"grown ups!"

The officer who had just spoken pointed to the dense forest not far away and said, "Tiger... Tiger..."

The military commander turned around and looked, eyes wide open.

As the sky gradually darkened, birds were hovering outside the woods. A huge figure appeared in the dense forest.

A white-browed tiger stepped out slowly, with the sound of clanging metal. It was not a wild animal, because it was covered with armor and had sharp claws. There was even a crossbow on its broad back. The huge tiger tail cleverly hooked the wheel of the crossbow, which kept turning back and forth. The sharp and huge arrow head was shining with cold light and gently turned direction, aiming back and forth in the Fenglin army formation.

Someone yelled, “What is this?”

But the next moment, everyone shut up.

The second, the third, the fourth...more and more.

The earth shook and dust rose in the distance, as if heavy cavalry were speeding towards here.

And above the sky, a long and melodious sound was heard.

But in the dim dusk, birds tore through the afterglow of the setting sun, their wings formed into a cloud, and came over the city.

Above the vast sky, on the back of the giant eagle, a clear sound broke through the clouds and spread through the wind.

"——The Aerospace Training Corps has arrived at the foot of Lin County!"
