Chapter 429 Return to Lingzhou
Southern Lingzhou.

A city has been captured, and a team of thousands of people rode slowly into the city. The momentum of this army has overwhelmed the city.

The cold black armor was even more terrifying under the sunlight.

"Welcome, sir."

An old man with white hair and wearing official uniform was kneeling on the ground.

Bai Yuan, who was walking in the front, jumped off his horse and walked to the old man: "Get up."

This old man was the magistrate of this city. When the city fell, he decisively defected and then surrendered the city.

These counties are actually the least aware of the wars at the top, especially the northern border, because they have almost no ability to resist, and either side can crush them at will.

The people in the city have long been accustomed to it.

Bai Yuan captured the city without losing a single soldier.

Of course, even if the Tianxuan faction bandit army in the city resisted with all their might, the result would be the same. In front of this elite force, the power of a county is nothing but a chicken and a dog.

People on the street were looking at the team slowly entering the city.

But there wasn't much joy in his eyes.

This is Lingzhou.

It is the base of Tianxuan Sect, so these people only recognize Tianxuan Sect and not the imperial court, so the arrival of Bai Yuan and his party did not make them excited.

Li Huan, who was standing by, glanced at the indifferent eyes of the passers-by and shook his head secretly.

No wonder the Emperor was determined to clean up the underworld.

He spent most of his time in Qingzhou, which was the territory of the Qingzhou Royal Palace. Therefore, all the people were in awe of the emperor's grace and could not imagine such a scene.

If things are allowed to develop in this way, Xuanyang will be in endless trouble.

What the emperor wants are subjects who can submit to him, not a group of traitors who have almost disowned the imperial court and may rebel at any time following a sect.

Bai Yuan and Li Huan rode their horses to the county government office.

The rest of the troops were stationed in the city. Of course, they did not need to worry about these trivial matters. The tens, hundreds, and thousands of households would naturally take care of them.

Naturally, there will be friction during this period.

Bai Yuan has never been a merciful person. He has already issued an order that anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy.

They won't stay here for too long, so the best approach is of course to suppress them with thundering means.

The two men walked into the lobby of the county government office.

Li Huan then slowly spoke: "This Lingzhou is really a place of chaos and foul smells. No wonder the entire state fell overnight after the Tianxuan Sect rebelled."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly.

He has traveled to many places in recent years.

In comparison, the situation in Lingzhou is actually quite good.

If placed in a place like Jiangzhou, the appeal of major sects like the Dragon and Tiger Sect would be even more terrifying.

"Pass the order down. Rest for a day and set out tomorrow."

"it is good."

Li Huan nodded, then called an officer to give instructions regarding Bai Yuan's matter.

After they left Lingzhou, they took the route all the way to Lingzhou, which took them only five days. They were truly able to travel a thousand miles a day. Fortunately, thousands of people were all equipped with magic horses and were all martial artists, so there was no reduction in personnel.

In fact, not many people are actually hacked to death in a war. Many die of starvation, exhaustion on the road, or are trampled to death while fleeing, etc.

Li Huan looked at Bai Yuan with some concern: "A Yuan, we don't have much food this time, we must fight quickly. I have contacted Lord Tang in Chenzhou. Although he can supply some food, he can't hold out for too long."

Bai Yuan: "I know."

The military book says that food and fodder must be sent ahead before troops move out.

The same principle applies to elite troops composed of martial artists.

If a martial artist doesn't eat, he will starve to death. Even if he doesn't starve to death, his fighting power will be greatly reduced.

But if we transport grain from Lingzhou to Lingzhou, not to mention the bandit armies in several states along the way, it would be very easy for grain to be robbed. The journey that was originally only five days might take at least one and a half months to arrive.

By the time Bai Yuan arrives, the battle between the Tianxuan Sect and the Zhenbei Army might have already ended.

So Bai Yuan finally decided to bring only enough food for ten days.

This is how he was able to appear in Lingzhou in just five days.

The food for these ten days was all thanks to his ability as a spiritual cook, who compressed the food into pills. Otherwise, the food for these ten days would probably be as tall as a person.

Of course, Bai Yuan had already taken this into consideration.

Unlike the previous battle between Xuan Yang and the Demon Sect, this is Lingzhou, a place that has been managed by the Tian Xuan Sect for a thousand years and is rich in resources, so the solution is to fight to support the war.

another side.

A team of dozens of people was marching through the city.

They visited almost all the houses of the wealthy families in the city. Their purpose was simple: to take away all the food.

Of course, there will be bloodshed during this period.

But how can there be no bloodshed in war?
An hour later, half of the rich people in the city were gone.

But the results are also very good.

The backyard of the county government office was filled with piles of meat and rice like small mountains.

Bai Yuan looked at the food and nodded with satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of soldiers lined up in a very disciplined manner to receive food. No one would take too much, because the food would be eaten today and tomorrow. As for the food the day after tomorrow, only the day after tomorrow would know.

The advantage of not bringing food is of course obvious, the marching speed is terrifyingly fast.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, they cannot fight a confrontational war, but Bai Yuan had no intention of fighting to the death with the Tianxuan Sect.

He only needed to harass the heartland of the Tianxuan Sect when the Tianxuan Sect and the Zhenbei Army were fighting, and do things like robbing food and grass.

Seeing that he was finally full and satisfied, Bai Yuan gave the last order.

That means disbanding on the spot.

According to the previously arranged teams, fifty people dispersed to Lingzhou in groups, each doing their own thing, and then returned to this city to gather after a month.

The next day.

When the people in this city woke up, they found that the county government office was empty and the army that had entered the city yesterday had quietly disappeared.

Along with the armies, the big families in the city also disappeared.

Many people cried out in their hearts that it was retribution. These powerful people who had been oppressing them just disappeared like that.

Just as everyone was wondering where the army would go, Bai Yuan had already appeared a hundred miles away.

Li Huan walked beside Bai Yuan and said, "Are you going to attack Tianxuan Sect directly? There is an old ancestor of Tongshenguan there. I won't go crazy with you."

Bai Yuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

"But we do need to go to Tianxuan Sect."

Li Huan: “.”

Lingzhou City.

The prefect Zeng Shun looked unhappy. He sat alone in the Zeng mansion.

When the Tianxuan sect rebelled, he could be said to be the most embarrassed person.

Although he was supported by the Tianxuan Sect to sit on the position of Lingzhou prefect, he was still an official appointed by the imperial court after all. Now that the Tianxuan Sect has risen up in rebellion, he has been neglected and has ended up in a state where no one cares about him.

Zeng Shun took a deep breath.

It would be fine if the Tianxuan Sect really succeeded, but if not, he would definitely be executed for treason.

"Damn it!"

Zeng Shun slammed the table hard, and it instantly broke into pieces.

He knew about the Tianxuan sect's rebellion almost at the same time as everyone else in the world. This shows that he had lost the trust of the old ancestor. Even if the Tianxuan sect won, he would not have a good ending.

Just when Zeng Shun was feeling upset, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Master Zeng, we meet again." "Who is it!"

Zeng Shun turned his head suddenly.

He is a powerful person at the peak of perception, yet someone walked into the room silently without him noticing. The opponent must be very powerful.

As soon as he turned his head, Zeng Shun's expression turned into horror.

A familiar face appeared before him.

Bai Yuan!

Bai Yuan smiled faintly: "Master Zeng, I came here to give you a choice. As long as you surrender to me and help me spy on the Tianxuan Sect, I can ask His Majesty to spare your life."

Zeng Shun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could never have imagined that Bai Yuan would appear here.

Join Bai Yuan?

To be honest, Zeng Shun was a little tempted.

Because in his opinion, the probability of the Tianxuan faction winning the world is very small. In comparison, the imperial court is more reliable.

He can also take this opportunity to break free from the control of the Tianxuan Sect.

Bai Yuan did not urge him, but just looked at Zeng Shun quietly, waiting for the answer from the Lingzhou prefect.

The next moment, Zeng Shun suddenly jumped up and shot towards the window beside him.

"Mr. Bai, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Zeng Shun's angry curse was heard.

But almost at the moment the sound came out, a pair of big hands grabbed his ankles.

Afterwards, Zeng Shun felt an irresistible and terrifying force lifting him up and then slamming him hard to the ground.

boom!
A terrible loud noise came from Zeng's house.

Zeng Shun didn't even know how many times he was hit, and in the end he was smashed into a pool of flesh and blood.

Bai Yuan looked at Zeng Shun, who was deader than dead, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

To be honest, it didn't matter to him whether Zeng Shun rebelled or not.

According to his understanding, Zeng Shun had long been marginalized, and the intelligence that could be obtained would be of no value, so it would be better for him to die.

The next second, his figure disappeared.

Not long after Bai Yuan left, a hunchbacked old man appeared on the ruins of Zeng's mansion. He glanced indifferently at Zeng Shun's body that could no longer be put together.

"What a domineering force."

"Big beard?"

Needless to say, this hunchbacked old man is none other than the divine ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect, Linghu Yu.

He looked towards the west in confusion.

"Gone?"

A forest outside Lingzhou City.

A palace only the size of a palm was left in the cracks between the rocks.

Three days passed.

There was finally movement in the palace, and the next second, a young man appeared out of nowhere in the forest.

Bai Yuan bent down and picked up the Divine Palace's mysterious weapon.

He dared to come to Lingzhou City because he had something to rely on, and that was the Divine Palace's mysterious soldiers.

The Divine Palace Mysterious Soldiers have many uses, not just combat power. If he used the Nine Heavens Mysterious Soldiers to kill the ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect, he would probably be killed by the backlash, so it is most appropriate to use them to avoid danger.

Even a powerful god cannot detect the existence of the mysterious soldiers.

Therefore, it was impossible for the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect to catch him by surprise.

The harvest of this trip was pretty good. At least the rebellious Lingzhou prefect Zeng Shun was killed. Although Zeng Shun's strength was average, it was still very insulting to kill him right under the nose of the Tianxuan Sect.

Bai Yuan took a look at Lingzhou City and disappeared in a flash.

A day later, he appeared in a small town.

This city, like other cities in Lingzhou, has become a rebel city.

Bai Yuan walked into a restaurant and saw a handsome man drinking in a corner. He walked up to him and asked, "How is your business going?"

The person drinking was Li Huan.

Li Huan took a bite of the pig's head and said, "It's done."

He looked at Bai Yuan: "So how is Zeng Shun?"

Bai Yuan smiled faintly: "Dead."

Li Huan grinned, his brother was really fierce. The ancestor of Tianxuan Sect was in Lingzhou City. Bai Yuan was almost like killing a powerful sentient being in front of the ancestor. This was a slap in the face of Tianxuan Sect.

Bai Yuan also sat down, ate a few bites of meat, and took a sip of wine: "He is indeed very strong. I should not be his opponent."

Of course Li Huan knew who Bai Yuan was talking about.

Isn't it normal that a wise man would not be able to defeat a great master?

But when Bai Yuan spoke, Li Huan could sense a sense of eagerness to try.

The world eventually became something he could never have imagined.

Northern Lingzhou.

Linghu Yang looked at the information sent from Lingzhou with a face as cold as ice.

Zeng Shun is dead.

Although the death of a sentient martial artist was a heavy loss, it was far from enough to make him so angry. The key reason was that the person who killed Zeng Shun was Bai Yuan.

Linghu Yang was deeply impressed by the young man.

Given Bai Yuan's current battle record, even he has to be careful.

He had long anticipated Bai Yuan's coming to Lingzhou.

After all, General Zhenbei is Bai Yuan's master, so it would be strange if Bai Yuan did not come to help. But he never expected that Bai Yuan would come to Lingzhou so soon and even entered Lingzhou City.

Linghu Yang just felt a chill on his back.

No one would feel good being secretly watched by such a master.

The master of Zhengyang Sect standing by was looking at the situation in Linghu Yang's hand.

"Master Linghu, Bai Yuan is indeed quite capable. We need to be careful in dealing with him."

Dong Wanjun alone has put a lot of pressure on them.

If another Bai Yuan appeared behind them, even they would be unable to cope with it.

Not to mention that several elite troops suddenly appeared in Lingzhou recently, specializing in looting food and fodder. It goes without saying that it was Bai Yuan's work.

This itchy but not dead feeling is the most uncomfortable.

Just as everyone was pondering how to deal with Bai Yuan, Linghu Yang suddenly spoke up: "Bai Yuan has a grudge against me. Since he has come to Lingzhou, I will go and meet him."

Hearing this, everyone looked surprised.

The feud between this Linghu clan leader and the Shuofang Jiedushi is known to the world.

If their luck had not been shattered, the life-and-death battle between Linghu Yang and Bai Yuan might have already been decided.

Linghu Yang ignored the looks from the people around him.

He has practiced martial arts for a hundred years and believes that he is as good as any master of Mingxin.

Bai Yuan is indeed brilliant, but he doesn't think he will lose.

Now that the Tianxuan Sect has an old ancestor in charge, he doesn't need to worry about the imperial court and can fight with all his might.

Do you really think he is afraid of that three-year-old kid?
Linghu Yang's eyes became colder and colder, with a hint of cruelty at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't wait to step on Bai Yuan under his feet.
