Chapter 718: The Siege of Beimen Pass, my homeland is in Zhongzhou!
"what?"
"Gu Xiu is out?"
"real or fake?"
"Is he still in the city?"
The news came too suddenly, causing the people in Anyou, who had originally planned to immediately hunt down the group of monks who had escaped from the city, to immediately start asking questions, their eyes full of surprise.
really.
A figure appeared, and at the entrance to the north gate of Beiming, Gu Xiu, a man with white hair and holding a long sword, was walking in from outside the city. He had an indifferent expression and hardly spoke.
But that face and that white hair still made everyone recognize him at the first sight.
This is Gu Xiu!
"Quick, gather people and take action immediately!"
"He's finally here! This brat has finally arrived. Quickly trap the North Gate. We must not let Gu Xiu escape. Remember our target. Except for Gu Xiu, everyone else will be killed without mercy!"
"If Gu Xiu resists, you are allowed to injure him, or even destroy his cultivation!"
"..."
At the first moment, several masked warriors spoke up and were about to mobilize their troops to take action. But at this moment, a black-robed man wearing a mountain ghost mask suddenly spoke up:
"Wait, I feel like there's something fishy going on!"
诈？
Everyone was surprised, but then they heard the man in the mountain ghost mask say:
"Gu Xiu has always been a cautious and low-key person. Whether he hid his identity under the alias Feng Bugui after leaving Qingxuan or went to Beiming and hid his identity under the alias Sui Yu'an, it doesn't make sense for Gu Xiu to show his true face when he comes to Zhongzhou this time. This doesn't seem like Gu Xiu's habit."
"and……"
"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"There was a massive rout in the city, and all the strong men from the North Gate went out in pursuit. Furthermore, Mei Huaping was suddenly killed. Just as we were about to give chase, Gu Xiu happened to appear in the city."
"No matter how coincidental it is, it shouldn't be such a coincidence."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had been planning to take action could not help but frown and hesitate:
"You mean, this Gu Xiu is fake?"
"Is there anyone in the city protecting Gu Xiu?"
"Lu Yu has been acting all this time?"
This guess is indeed reasonable.
only……
"Are we just going to give up such a bright opportunity? No matter whether this Gu Xiu is real or fake, we can't give up on this guy just because of our speculation, right?" Someone expressed doubt.
This is the truth. No matter how reasonable the guess is, it is just a guess. Gu Xiu is right in front of them. It is impossible for them to really ignore him just because of their guess.
finally.
This group of dark window masters decided to split into two groups.
Most of the troops headed towards the North Gate, while a small number continued to intercept and stop the monks leaving the city according to the previous plan.
but.
Although the group of strong men in Anyou are powerful, they are few in number. Especially when most people leaving the city consciously disperse and escape, it is difficult to track down all of them.
But it is almost impossible.
In desperation, these secret window masters could only retreat, relying on several natural barriers to set up pass and block the enemy in the middle. After all, the North Gate Pass was a fortress, and it was impossible to advance straight into the city if the North Gate Pass was lost. In fact, there were several natural barriers further down the road, which could be considered as a buffer for the transition period.
but now.
These buffer zones became natural barriers for those fleeing from the besieged city.
In particular, there is a place called Dajiaogang, which has become the burial place of countless people who fled from the city. No one can pass through here.
In desperation, the monks who had escaped from the North Gate Pass before, as well as those monks who were "chasing" them from behind, were trapped in a dilemma. In desperation, they could only choose to hide in two places and conceal themselves temporarily.
They are actually pretty good.
At least the situation at the North Gate City is much more difficult than theirs.
"Open the formation, activate the entire formation!"
"Hold on, you must hold on!"
"Be careful of spies in the city!"
"Kill, kill all these people, and defend the city gate to the death!"
"..."
The North Gate Pass at this moment has completely changed from what it was a few hours ago. Most of the formations in the city have been activated, and rays of light have made the North Gate Pass, which originally seemed difficult to conquer, impregnable.
However, this is different from the situation where Beimen Pass has always been used to resist Beiming.
This time it was intercepted at the North Gate.
But it is in the direction of Zhongzhou.
The result was that most of the magic arrays used to defend against foreign enemies in the North Gate Pass had become ineffective. Although there were many arrays to defend against the Central Plains, they were still much weaker after all.
With the group of more than ninety people in Anyou working together to support the formation, the rays of light above the formation were constantly shaking under the repeated attacks.
Worse.
There are obviously many people who have been tricked by the hidden windows lurking in the city. Now that they all move out, the North Gate will no longer be facing only external enemies.
There is also civil unrest.
The already weak defenders in the city were now exhausted from defending.
Especially the garrison government office, because after "Gu Xiu" entered the city, he entered the government office. Even the spies in the city did not have the opportunity to investigate too much. If they wanted to confirm whether Gu Xiu was real or not, they could only attack this place.
The violent attack was launched in an instant.
The entire North Gate Pass was completely plunged into a tough battle. This was originally a smooth plan, but after checking the people coming from outside, Lu Yu frowned deeply.
After all, not all the people in the secret window rushed in at once. They could hold on, but if the team escorting Gu Xiu outside had not completely escaped when the North Gate was completely breached.
This also means that his plan has been completely wasted.
……
While Zhongzhou Beimen Pass was in a tough battle, at this moment, in a cave in an uninhabited mountain range not far from Beimen Pass.
A figure walked out, his face full of resentment:
"Chu Xiangling, Youming, Gu Xiu...!"
She recited the names of her enemies one by one, and wished she could rush back to the Chiyun Divine Dynasty immediately to kill and refine the three adulterers on the spot.
She is Guan Xuelan, the leader of Qingxuan Holy Land.
Previously, she had planned to bring her Qingxuan Holy Land to join the rising star Beiming Zhengqi League, but she did not expect that her sincerity would be betrayed in the end.
But he just scolded Gu Xiu a few words.
Chu Xiangling and the Queen of the Netherworld actually attacked her and even chased her. No matter how good Guan Xuelan's escape methods were, she was almost caught up by the two women and was even injured.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Three Immortals Island appeared and attracted the Queen of the Underworld and Chu Xiangling away, giving Guan Xuelan a chance to breathe. Otherwise, not to mention dying on the spot, she would have to pay a heavy price.
Even so, it took Guan Xuelan three days of recuperation before she finally recovered, but she was still a long way from fully recovering.
It's not that recovery is impossible.
But...
There are no resources left.
All her spirit stones and spirit medicines had been invested in the reconstruction of the Qingxuan Holy Land. She had originally planned to collect some gifts to make up for the losses, but now that they had fallen out, she had lost everything.
"I will never let this go!"
"One day, sooner or later, I will return with my Qingxuan and settle accounts with you. I swear to kill all of you one by one, and let you die in endless pain and endless regret!"
"This is the oath I, Guan Xuelan, made!"
Guan Xuelan pointed her finger toward the sky.
Swear and swear.
Don’t say things like the Heaven Sealing Change has come and the Dao Oath has been completely invalidated and is no longer useful.
Is it an oath that our Supreme Guan wants?
Do not!
What she wants is an attitude!
After swearing fiercely, Guan Xuelan started to have a headache again.
What's next?
She spent all her money and gave up everything, but ended up getting nothing and losing a lot on this trip to Beiming. She originally thought that if she joined the Righteous Alliance, she would at least have some way out.
But now we are completely at odds with the Righteous Alliance, and there are not even enough resources to recover from our injuries and make up for the consumed resources.
Don't say it's all in vain.
She was not able to reach the water, and the bamboo basket was washed away by the flood.
She even didn't dare to go back to her Qingxuan Holy Land. She had never been to that place properly, and now she didn't dare to go there. After all, God knew whether those two little bitches Chu Xiangling and the Queen of the Netherworld would come to block her.
"It really doesn't work..."
"Let's go to Zhongzhou first and make a comeback?"
"Zhongzhou is the orthodox land of all the major holy places, and it is also the birthplace of the Six Paths Technique. It is normal for me, the dignified Qingxuan Supreme, to not be able to survive in a place like Beiming that is full of demonic sects."
"It's because I'm too decent that I'm like this."
"Zhongzhou is where I belong. If I go there, I will definitely be able to develop exceptionally smoothly!"
"That's right!"
Soon, Guan Xuelan looked in the direction of Beimen Pass and made a decision in her heart.
only……
Just as she was about to leave, Guan Xuelan felt a little unwilling and couldn't help but look back in a certain direction.
There.
It was the Qingxuan Holy Land that she had newly built in Beiming, which had consumed a great deal of her resources and countless efforts. If she left now, it would be equivalent to completely giving up the Qingxuan Holy Land.
It is even possible that the place will eventually be occupied by someone else, giving others a good deal of benefit.
Thinking of this, Guan Xuelan murmured:
"This place is not far from this master Qingxuan. With my speed, I can reach it in an hour at most..."
"Go check out the situation."
"At least, take down the valuable treasures from my Qingxuan Holy Land. At least we won't really go to Zhongzhou empty-handed."
She decided to visit her new holy place.
There are risks in doing this.
but……
The risk is worth taking!
Guan Xuelan has always been a man of action. Now that she had made the decision, she naturally did not hesitate at all. For the next hour, Guan Xuelan rushed to her Qingxuan Holy Land at full speed.
She made full preparations along the way, even stopping frequently to check the situation, fearing that those two little bitches would plot against her.
Fortunately.
I don’t know whether the two people didn’t have this idea, or gave up after waiting for three days and seeing that I didn’t show up. At least Guan Xuelan didn’t encounter any resistance along the way.
But after a few moments, she finally reached her destination.
Qingxuan Holy Land!
As soon as she arrived here, Guan Xuelan's eyes widened...
