Chapter 1291: Wu Jiu War
The 20,045th year of the Dao Calendar, the 12th year of the Great Wilderness New Calendar, the 4th year of the Divine Invoker, autumn, famine, the earth was desolate and killing.
Amidst the shrill witch wind.
The Divine Invoker army, intending to unify the wilderness, and the powerful Wu Jiu Alliance, with the core area of the Great Witch Wind Mountain as the boundary, launched nearly a thousand desperate battles, staining the earth with blood and leaving it scarred.
The Wu Jiu Alliance, with the returning Wu Jiu tribe as the core, included the subordinate tribes of the Wu Jiu tribe, as well as hundreds of large and small savage tribes annexed during the expansion of the Wu Jiu tribe.
There were a million savage soldiers, complete with troop types, and they were proficient in various witch tribe combat methods, with extremely strong combat power.
In the dark, there was also the full support of the Hua family, material distribution, and advice and infiltration in terms of karma.
This was an extremely huge force capable of sweeping through the wilderness.
If there hadn't been Mo Hua, the Divine Invoker, descending from the sky, the only force that could truly unify the wilderness would have been this Great Wu Jiu tribe, which had gone through three generations of painstaking efforts and a hundred years of diligent governance.
Young Master Wu Jiu would also become the master of the wilderness in troubled times.
The era of the wilderness would also be named after "Wu Jiu."
It was just that with the descent of the Divine Invoker, all of this was full of variables.
At this very moment, the Divine Invoker force under Mo Hua, which was directly confronting the Wu Jiu Alliance, was equally incomparably powerful.
The Divine Invoker army was the main force launching this divine war.
Including the major Third-Grade tribes of Zhu Que Mountain, the Divine Slave Department directly under his command, the Gao Tu tribe of the Green You Mountain Realm, the Ghost Face tribe of the Ghost Crying Mountain Realm, and other tribes Mo Hua had conquered along the way...
On the surface, Mo Hua's Divine Invoker army was not much inferior to the Wu Jiu Alliance.
Even, in terms of true combat power, the Divine Invoker army that Mo Hua had built in just a few years was already quite a bit stronger than the alliance force that the Wu Jiu tribe had managed with a thousand years of heritage and hundreds of years of painstaking efforts.
The Wu Jiu Alliance had various Wu Jiu secret techniques and savage evil thought arts.
The Divine Invoker army had the protection of Mo Hua, the Divine Invoker, and loyal faith in the Divine Lord.
The Wu Jiu Alliance had many types of savage soldiers.
Mo Hua had cast many ancient savage armors for the Divine Invoker army.
Most of these savage armors were the ancestral savage armors that the various savage tribes had "lost."
These savage armors were borrowed by Mo Hua in the name of the "Divine Lord," but were purely based on his own array attainment, using the laws of "Taotie Swallowing and Transformation" and "Demonic Pattern Dragon Transformation" to replicate them.
After many years, these ancient savage armors reappeared on the land of the wilderness, and in a sense, they could indeed be called "miracles."
The Wu Jiu tribe's savage armor was very strong, but compared to the "ancestral savage armor" replicated by Mo Hua, it was ultimately quite inferior.
When the two sides clashed, the difference was immediately apparent.
The Divine Invoker army, wearing the "ancestral savage armor" personally bestowed by Mo Hua, the Divine Invoker, divided their troops and marched toward the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm, surging like a long rainbow for a time.
They killed all the way past the Great Witch Wind Mountain and stepped onto the land of the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm.
This was also the first time in nearly a thousand years that the powerful Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm had been "invaded" on a large scale by an external enemy.
But after killing past the border, the advance was blocked.
One reason was that the Wu Jiu Alliance could use the mountain terrain of the Great Witch Wind to block the enemy.
Another reason was the "Demonic Cavalry"—the strongest troop type of the Wu Jiu tribe.
The so-called "Demonic Cavalry" was a special forbidden method of the savage tribe to tame demonic beasts, using Four Symbols Demonic Patterns, supplemented by demonic shackles and beast locks, and some witch art herbs, to forcibly suppress the demonic nature of the demonic beasts, thereby making the demonic beasts "submit" temporarily, so they could enter the battlefield and fight alongside the savage cultivators.
In the past, only the Wang Ting of the Great Wilderness had the qualification and ability to tame "Demonic Cavalry."
The Wu Jiu tribe's move was both a transgression of the royal system, having the heart of "not submitting," but it also proved the strength of the Wu Jiu tribe.
In the Battle of Zhu Que Mountain a few years ago, the Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry was invincible on the battlefield.
It was just because the demonic nature was difficult to tame, and once on a long-distance expedition, it was easy to lose control.
So in previous battles, the number of "Demonic Cavalry" dispatched by the Wu Jiu tribe was not large, and the function they played was limited.
But at this time, Mo Hua's force had turned the tables and killed their way to the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm.
This was the base camp of the Wu Jiu tribe.
The Demonic Cavalry raised by the Wu Jiu tribe could be dispatched in full force to meet Mo Hua.
Adding up to nearly a thousand Demonic Cavalry, lined up, like a long dragon of demonic energy, the momentum was frightening.
And once the Demonic Cavalry charged, the savage soldiers and demonic beasts were one, and they were even more invincible.
The Divine Invoker army was crazily charged by the Wu Jiu Demonic Cavalry and couldn't resist at all, their formations collapsed repeatedly, and they retreated steadily.
After a few battles, they were forced out of the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm alive.
Just when the march was blocked, the cold and majestic figure of Mo Hua appeared on the front line.
He just pointed forward lightly, and that holy tiger, which followed by the Divine Invoker's side, with black and white patterns and a holy body, walked out slowly.
But at this time, this holy tiger looked different from the past.
It was wearing a set of "armor" on its body.
This was a set of "demonic armor" tailor-made for the tiger demon; inside the demonic armor, Mo Hua had drawn the Four Symbols Mysterious Tiger Array.
Demonic beasts were already powerful, and tiger demons were the kings among demons.
At this time, the big tiger, blessed with mysterious iron armor and the Four Symbols Tiger Array, was like a "war beast" for a time, extremely fierce.
Moreover, it wasn't just the big tiger, one tiger.
Following the big tiger's soft roar, behind it, another Third-Grade hanging-eye fierce tiger slowly appeared.
This hanging-eye fierce tiger was also wearing demonic armor, blessed with the Four Symbols Array, and was full of killing intent.
Afterward, a strong wind rose, and behind the Third-Grade hanging-eye tiger, more tiger demons, one after another, walked out one by one.
These tiger demons were "subdued" one by one by the big tiger from the forests all over the wilderness during Mo Hua's personal expedition.
Now adding up, there were a full hundred.
Demonic beasts were born powerful, and among many demonic beasts, the tiger was the king among demons, called the "King Demon" by the Great Wilderness, a symbol of the Wang Ting, and if it carried a special bloodline, it would even be revered as a "Holy Beast."
And at this time, under Mo Hua's command, a hundred tiger demons had gathered.
These hundred tiger demons were all wearing demonic armor, carrying sacred patterns, like an "army of demonic beasts," and they were "tiger soldiers," an "army of King Demons."
Humans could command "tiger soldiers."
Such a shocking thing had never been seen before in the history of the Great Wilderness.
Not to mention the savage soldiers who saw this scene with their own eyes.
The unbelievable shock instantly seized everyone's mind; not only the Wu Jiu tribe, but even some savage soldiers under Mo Hua were stunned.
"Kill..."
Mo Hua, with golden eyes, said softly in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the big tiger's gaze instantly became extremely fierce, the demonic energy condensed into substance rose, it roared to the sky, the sound shook the mountains and forests, and then it turned into a gust of wind and began to charge toward the Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry.
Behind the big tiger, a hundred tigers also roared and growled, and began to charge with it.
The group of tigers charged, the momentum was monstrous, frightening, especially frightening to demonic beasts.
The Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry began to feel terrified one after another.
They were just ordinary demonic beasts, even if there were a thousand of them, they didn't dare to charge head-on against a hundred tiger demons at all.
Many demonic cavalry began to fear, began to tremble, began to growl, and even showed signs of wanting to break free from the reins and turn around to flee.
The Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry was shocked, and they all urged the arrays and shackles to forcibly suppress these demonic beasts, and then forced these demonic beasts to charge with them.
But kings do not form groups; once they form a group, they are invincible.
Not to mention, these "king" tiger demons were truly "unrestrained" kings among demons.
And the demonic beasts under the Demonic Cavalry were "beasts" that were forcibly "bound."
The armor and arrays on the tiger demons were to amplify their demonic power.
And the demonic cavalry only had shackles, and the arrays on them were only to "suppress" them.
When the two sides clashed, the result was self-evident.
One hundred against one thousand.
One thousand Wu Jiu Demonic Cavalry collapsed almost at the first touch.
One hundred tiger demons, like fierce tigers entering a "flock of sheep," launched a ruthless slaughter.
But they only killed people, and unless necessary, they wouldn't kill demonic beasts.
In this way, the "demonic beasts" under the Demonic Cavalry also began to rebel.
Their fear of the King Demon stimulated their demonic nature, as well as their inherent hatred for the human race.
This hatred also enticed their anger at being "enslaved."
Some demonic beasts began to go crazy, trying to break free from the chains on their bodies.
More demonic cavalry took advantage of the chaos and began to "devour their masters," their fangs reaching toward the Wu Jiu tribe savage cultivators riding on them.
Some demonic cavalry failed, but some succeeded.
The demonic cavalry that successfully devoured their masters ripped open the chests of their former "masters" and ate them.
Amidst the splashing blood, the smell of blood permeated, and more and more demonic cavalry's ferocity was stimulated.
The "Demonic Cavalry" that the Wu Jiu tribe once relied on to be invincible began to lose control on a large scale, and more and more demonic cavalry began to "resist" and "devour their masters."
This loss of control exacerbated the defeat and death of the Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry.
And once the Demonic Cavalry lost control, they would instead join the tiger demons and turn around to slaughter the Wu Jiu tribe.
The scene was extremely bloody for a time, and the Wu Jiu tribe camp was in chaos.
Mo Hua ordered the army to take the opportunity to cover and kill.
The Great Chief of the Art Bone, Lu Gu, drew his bone-slashing demonic blade and shouted:
"Offer faith to the Divine Lord!"
"Offer life and death to the Divine Invoker!"
"Kill!"
For a time, morale was greatly boosted, and the shouts of "kill" shook the sky.
Where Mo Hua pointed, the holy beast fierce tiger was in front, and the army was behind.
The Wu Jiu tribe's Demonic Cavalry collapsed, the formation was in chaos, and for a time they trampled on each other, the number of dead was countless, and they could only retreat.
Just like this, the Divine Invoker army broke through the gateway of the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm, drove straight in, and launched an attack toward the headquarters of the Wu Jiu tribe.
But such an offensive only lasted for less than ten days before it was blocked again.
The Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm was a pass of the wilderness, with intricate mountain terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Plus, the witch wind whistled all year round, and the fog was thick; without the guidance of local tribes, one couldn't even find the direction.
Mo Hua could use causal deduction.
But even as a Divine Invoker, he was only one person and couldn't handle the rapidly changing and complex situation of a million savage soldiers and dozens of troop lines advancing after entering the Great Witch Wind Mountain Realm.
More importantly, the originally collapsed Wu Jiu tribe had reorganized again.
Their supplies suddenly became very "sufficient."
Even many savage soldiers were wearing armor cast from refined iron without any markings.
Mo Hua knew in his heart that this was the Hua family exerting their strength.
The Hua family was supplying the war materials for the Wu Jiu tribe.
If one wanted to make war money, it had to be chaotic; the more chaotic, the better, the more chaotic, the more opportunities to "make money," and the higher the degree of exploitation.
Therefore, the Hua family would never allow Mo Hua to achieve "unification."
Once Mo Hua truly unified the various tribes and held great power, the Hua family's business in the Great Wilderness would be completely declared bankrupt, and their plan would also be washed away.
Not to mention, Mo Hua, this Divine Invoker, had already formed a deadly feud with the Hua family.
In every sense, the Hua family had to support the Wu Jiu tribe to withstand Mo Hua's pressure.
And it had to be "full" support.
For Elder You, he could only rely on the strength of the Wu Jiu tribe to avoid Mo Hua's causal locking and debt hunting.
He had to pin his hopes on the Wu Jiu tribe being able to defeat the Divine Invoker army.
Or, going a step further, he hoped that the Wu Jiu tribe could kill Mo Hua, the Divine Invoker, at all costs.
This would solve all the Hua family's problems in the wilderness once and for all.
As for how to deal with the Wu Jiu tribe after killing Mo Hua.
Whether to create divisions within the Wu Jiu, or to infiltrate the Wu Jiu tribe with fame, power, wealth, and beauty, making it secretly "evolve" into the Hua family's "puppet" in the Great Wilderness, this could all be considered later.
The Wu Jiu tribe was an orthodox tribe, and the tribe was full of "people."
As long as they were people, there were weaknesses in human nature, and they were not difficult to deal with.
Dealing with the Wu Jiu tribe and dealing with that Divine Invoker were completely incomparable in difficulty.
With the full support of the Hua family, the Wu Jiu tribe was equivalent to having a continuous supply.
Plus, the witch wind whistled like ghosts, the fog was thick, and the terrain was intricate, so Mo Hua's Divine Invoker army seemed to have fallen into a quagmire again, entering a situation of "relative stalemate."
Afterward, the two sides began a series of arduous and difficult battles.
Every victory was hard-won.
And in this complex war situation, Young Master Wu Jiu finally took action.
Young Master Wu Jiu, with Jin Dan mid-stage cultivation, carried the Four Symbols Wu Jiu Transformation Pattern, with dragon scales attached to his body, and his combat power was extremely strong.
In the battle at the Zhu Que Mountain altar, Young Master Wu Jiu, at the Jin Dan mid-stage, relied on his "dragon-transformed" body to suppress several Great Chiefs at the Jin Dan late-stage of the Dan Que tribe and the Yan Yi tribe with his own strength.
But the battle at the Zhu Que Mountain altar ultimately ended in defeat because the Wu Jiu Great God "died" at the hands of Mo Hua, and the Wu Jiu tribe's faith collapsed.
After Young Master Wu Jiu retreated in defeat, he harbored hatred and strove for strength.
Plus, with the support of the Hua family, at this time, Young Master Wu Jiu's cultivation and strength had risen to another level.
And after being tempered by "failure," his ambition had also become more resilient.
Although he was still only at the Jin Dan mid-stage, he seemed to have been "reborn."
And his purpose in this battle was to destroy the Divine Invoker army, kill Mo Hua, and wash away his shame.
As long as Mo Hua, the Divine Invoker, was killed and this greatest external enemy was removed, the entire wilderness would surely be in the pocket of his Wu Jiu tribe.
Afterward, several major battles broke out around Young Master Wu Jiu.
No one could be Young Master Wu Jiu's opponent at all.
Dan Zhu was a genius, formed his Jin Dan early, was young, and his cultivation was only at the Jin Dan early-stage. Although his cultivation inheritance was extraordinary, hindered by his realm, he couldn't be Young Master Wu Jiu's opponent at all.
Others, like the older generation of Great Chiefs such as Dan Lie, were old and couldn't withstand the fighting of Young Master Wu Jiu, who was in his prime.
Lu Gu could exchange a few moves with Young Master Wu Jiu, but his bone-slashing blade couldn't break the dragon skin on Young Master Wu Jiu's body at all.
Moreover, once he fell into a war of attrition and was accidentally injured, and Young Master Wu Jiu seized the opportunity, Lu Gu had the possibility of being killed in return.
Mo Hua also personally controlled the corpse-killing bone and fought Young Master Wu Jiu once.
The result was also no good.
The strength of the corpse-killing bone lay in its immortality and "perpetual motion" style of killing; its single-body lethality was not that strong.
Moreover, it couldn't break Young Master Wu Jiu's dragon scales and couldn't dig out Young Master Wu Jiu's Jin Dan; a long battle would also definitely end in defeat.
In a sense, what Young Master Wu Jiu said at the time was also right.
The bloodlines of people are different.
He carried the Dragon Map, his bloodline had transformed, and he was already a "half-dragon" body; one couldn't look at him from the perspective of an "ordinary person."
Instead, he should be regarded as a Jin Dan "monster" with a strong physical body, invincible attack and defense, and top-notch combat power.
And Young Master Wu Jiu, who was so powerful, was only at the Jin Dan mid-stage.
If one day he broke into the Jin Dan late-stage, how strong would he be?
In the entire wilderness, below the Feather Transformation, who else could be his opponent?
Everyone couldn't imagine.
Therefore, in Mo Hua's Divine Invoker camp, some people began to feel fear.
"Young Master Wu Jiu carries the dragon vein, his bloodline is incomparably noble, beyond the scope of ordinary people, and simply cannot be resisted by humans..."
"Being an enemy of Young Master Wu Jiu, we will all die sooner or later..."
This thought began to spread in Mo Hua's Divine Invoker force.
Many people, especially some savage cultivators who already had distracting thoughts and whose faith was not firm enough, were forced by Young Master Wu Jiu's power, their hearts began to waver, and they even secretly had different intentions.
This also triggered the most serious "mutiny" within the Divine Invoker camp that lasted for several months... ===== CHAPTER 1292 =====
