Special War God

When Marshal Baru occupied Beiming Pass, the Wu Kingdom's Eastern Immortal Army led by Wen Yulou also launched a final showdown with Kou Zhanyong. Kou Zhanyong and the monks of the Bai Kingdom were demoralized, and the major princes were not in harmony with them. At the critical moment of the battle, they were unable to withstand the fierce attack of the elite monks of the Wu Kingdom. In the end, Kou Zhanyong fell on the battlefield under the double attack of Wen Yulou and his deputy Gan Kunshan, and the coalition forces of the six princes collapsed and fled.

In a flash, the situation suddenly changed, and a shocking reversal occurred on the battlefield of the Bai Kingdom, shocking the world. The three main monk corps of the Bai Kingdom, which were originally commanded by the three marshals, now only had 600,000 elite monks under Xia Shuliang defending the Zhuping Fortress between the northern border and the eastern region of the Bai Kingdom.

However, with the fall of Beiming Pass, the significance of Xia Shuliang staying at Zhuping Pass had disappeared. He sighed and led his troops back to the capital. The Bai Kingdom was broken, and only by doing everything possible to protect the capital could the country survive and look forward to the opportunity of revival in the future.

At this moment, Wei, Man and Mang once again marched into Bai's territory, recreating the situation of the Five Nations attacking Bai. Last time, Bai was able to force the other nations to withdraw their troops, but this time it was unable to resist.

At this time of turmoil, the 13th Army of the Chiling Sect, which had caused a great uproar, seemed to have disappeared overnight. Those who tried to find its whereabouts found nothing. They were puzzled as to why this team suddenly disappeared when they were making great military achievements.

The moment the Khanate's army of monks entered Beiming Pass, Xia Zhongnan politely declined Ke Subie's invitation to stay and discuss the matter, and led the Chiling Sect's army of monks to leave Beiming Pass without hesitation.

He did not feel happy about his success, but instead felt heavy-hearted. He often used this saying to warn himself: "Those who cannot plan for the long term are not qualified to deal with temporary matters; those who cannot consider the overall situation are not qualified to plan for the world."

However, Lang Zhengfeng also warned him that in the face of absolute strength, all wisdom and strategy would be insignificant. Previously, he seemed to be able to turn the tide and be invincible on the battlefield, but in fact, it was the way for the weak to survive, and he must not be complacent because of a little success.

On the contrary, he was aware of how fragile the power in his hands was. He knew very well that if he continued to stay in Beiming Pass to meet with Marshal Baru, he would most likely face the fate of his entire army being massacred by the Khanate's cavalry. Perhaps only Lang Zhengfeng could break out by relying on his profound cultivation.

At the beginning, he dared to break into Marshal Baru's camp with only three people because he had a trump card in his hand that forced Marshal Baru to obey him. After Marshal Baru completely controlled Beiming Pass, he and the entire Thirteenth Army lost their value in Marshal Baru's eyes. Once the other party had the intention of harming him, he would no longer have room for negotiation...

Similarly, when facing the powerful monks of various cultivation sects and the elite monks of various countries, the 13th Army is a weak group. There is no need to worry about the current situation. If we blindly move forward to compete with other forces for interests, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

The Thirteenth Army once again fell into a state of stealth in the secret territory within the Bai Kingdom, hiding during the day and moving at night, trying their best to avoid leaving any clues that could be tracked by the monks.

On this day, they quietly appeared on the edge of the Fengqixian Mountains.

Xu Qian complained, "Xia Zhongnan, why have you suddenly become so cautious? Look at how many prefectures and spiritual cities we have passed through along the way. In fact, we could have directly entered the major sects and gained some opportunities, but you always avoided them. Do you know how much precious cultivation resources we have wasted because of this?"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "I'm afraid that the wealth you have accumulated now has surpassed that of your father, so why don't you be content?"

They looted three provincial capitals, Beiming Pass and several smaller spiritual cities. Among them, the treasure houses of the three provincial governors' mansions were all looted by Xia Zhongnan, Xu Qian and Lang Zhengfeng. The three of them are now very wealthy and have amazing resources for cultivation.

Xu Qian retorted: "Of course the more cultivation resources the better. More importantly, don't you think the process of earning resources like this is very enjoyable?"

Xia Zhongnan snorted coldly and said, "As the saying goes, 'Born in adversity, die in comfort', blindly pursuing this kind of illusory happiness without a sense of crisis is the biggest crisis."

Along the way, Xia Zhongnan appeared unusually calm and reserved. Lang Zhengfeng was not a talkative person either. He spent most of his time observing calmly.

When Xu Qian touched upon the topic, Lang Zhengfeng said, "Indeed, 'Born in adversity, die in comfort'. Perhaps it is because of your sense of crisis that everyone around you can feel a sense of security. Even I have a deep understanding of this.

However, to be honest, I still haven't figured out the profound meaning of your actions. Can you tell me a little bit?"

Xu Qian asked back: "Even you are confused? I thought you had already guessed it, but it turns out that I am the only idiot who didn't see through it!"

The last time, Lang Zhengfeng had accurately predicted that Xia Zhongnan wanted to take advantage of the war between the Zuoyou Khanate and the Bai Kingdom to gain benefits, and he finally achieved his goal; but this time, although Lang Zhengfeng carefully observed the actions of Xia Zhongnan and the Chifang Army for a period of time, he still had no clue about Xia Zhongnan's true intentions, which made him very frustrated, so he couldn't help asking questions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked the question, Xu Qian almost ridiculed him for being stupid in person, which made the veteran general feel quite frustrated.

Lang Zhengfeng glanced at her and thought that you really can't argue with this girl when she speaks. She is so stupid that she speaks without caring whether it will offend anyone or not.

But he had gotten used to it after working with Xu Qian for a long time, and he didn't take it too seriously, otherwise he would only feel aggrieved.

Xia Zhongnan said in a profound tone: "I really don't have a specific purpose for this trip. It's normal that Lang Shuai can't comprehend it."

Xu Qian and Lang Zhengfeng stared at Xia Zhongnan in astonishment when they heard this. Lang Zhengfeng retorted half-doubtfully, "How could you have come all this way with the Chifang Army without a purpose? Are you kidding me? How could I believe that you would wander around for no reason?"

Xia Zhongnan said helplessly: "Everything you said is true. This trip of ours does not have any far-reaching strategic intentions."

Lang Zhengyu asked, "That's understandable. If there is no strategic goal, then there must be another purpose. Could it be that you returned to Fengqi Immortal Mountain to seek cooperation with the Tongjiang Monk Corps and the Xiangshui Monk Corps?"

Xia Zhongnan clarified: "Since it has been clearly stated that there is no strategic purpose, it is naturally unrelated to military disputes. The White Territory is in chaos now. As long as we do not take the initiative to provoke trouble, no one will deliberately cause trouble for us. Under such circumstances, we can temporarily enjoy a rare period of quiet cultivation. With sufficient resources, I want to take this opportunity to improve my cultivation and strengthen my own strength. This is the foundation for our foothold in the world.

There are many fellow disciples in the Thirteenth Army, so we should not rush to find a hiding place. After much thought, only Feiyuejian can accommodate so many monks and soldiers, and this place is close to the border of our Wu Kingdom, so we have traveled a long distance to get here. "
