Chapter 506: Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform

Thousand Peaks Forest.

Dragon King Mountain.

In order to resist the Liangzhu Kingdom's expedition army, the various large and small forces of the Thousand Peaks Forest gathered around the Dragon King with Ginseng Whiskers and set up a great hall on Dragon King Mountain.

In the hall, a small number of cultivators, demon cultivators, barbarians, and gods sat around a huge sand table round table.

Only one green-robed cultivator stood by the table.

It was Lu Hongtu.

Lu Hongtu's face was cold, and his gaze was sharp as a knife.

He condensed magic power and tapped lightly on the sand table. On the sand table was the three-dimensional map of the Thousand Peaks Forest.

Several strands of magic power were condensed, forming four routes.

Some routes were longer, and some were shorter.

"Everyone." Lu Hongtu opened his mouth, his voice low, "Since our army ambushed the vanguard army and temporarily trapped them. Du Tiechuan was injured by Young Master Sheng Xu, but his reaction was still very swift, directly dispatching four armies to counterattack."

"This is the latest military situation."

Lu Hongtu's fingers moved slightly, and the longest route of magic power emerged, becoming a bit thicker.

Lu Hongtu explained appropriately: "Sun Gan's Golden Halberd Army has broken through three passes, with the momentum of breaking bamboo. I don't know why Du Tiechuan dispatched this Imperial Guard."

"This army is the most threatening."

"It will enter the territory of Bikuo Mountain in a few days."

"Bikuo Mountain has no barbarians living there, but there is a Bikuo Pool on the top of the mountain. This pool produces empty crystals and green lake stones, and void life often appears."

"Should this precious resource be handed over? If not, Bikuo Mountain has no obstacles, and a strong army must be dispatched to defend it, so it is possible to resist the Golden Halberd Army."

After a pause, Lu Hongtu continued to introduce the situation of the other three armies.

"The Red Flower Camp attacked Lengyue Mountain and is currently recuperating."

"The Savage Demon Camp besieged Lei Guang Mountain, was defeated by the defenders, and retreated three miles to station."

"As for the Three Generals Camp, they should be at Dice Bone Mountain, and are currently in a fierce battle with the Dice Bone Demon God."

As soon as Lu Hongtu finished speaking, a messenger came to report.

Lu Hongtu heard the emergency military situation, his face changed slightly, scanned the circle, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the situation has changed."

"Just received news that the Three Generals Camp has already conquered Dice Bone Mountain."

As soon as these words came out, the cultivators in the hall whispered.

"What? The Dice Bone Demon God actually lost?"

"Did he retreat in advance to protect the believers?"

"Shouldn't be. He also signed the Dragon King's divine contract, and he was also willing to stick to his original place."

"Hahaha, when the Dice Bone Demon God comes to Dragon King Mountain, I must take a good laugh at him!"

"Where is he now?"

Lu Hongtu swallowed his throat, but still held back and did not say that the Dice Bone Demon God had defected to the enemy at the last minute.

Although the Dice Bone Demon God was only at the Jin Dan cultivation base, his combat strength was outstanding. Once he displayed his dojo, he could resist the Soul Transformation level for a period of time.

These were things that everyone in the Thousand Peaks Forest knew.

Therefore, everyone (including Lu Hongtu) had confidence in this location of the Dice Bone Demon God. Where did they think that he would lose so quickly and defect to the enemy!

Lu Hongtu estimated: If he leaked this military situation, it would inevitably cause panic in the Thousand Peaks Forest.

"Such a tricky thing, it's better to leave it to the Dragon King with Ginseng Whiskers to handle."

Lu Hongtu decided to concentrate on his role as a military advisor.

"Wait!"

His heart jumped, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"The Dice Bone Demon God is a Jin Dan, but he became a god and can display a dojo."

"His dojo is quite unique, so the plan to raid the Liangzhu Kingdom's transport team also invited him."

"Now that he has defected to the enemy, will this intelligence be exposed?"

Lu Hongtu immediately pinched his fingers to calculate.

He calculated the time, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "It's a bit dangerous."

"If the intelligence has already been leaked, if the enemy army transmits the message as quickly as possible, they should be able to warn in advance."

"Let them take action immediately!"

Thinking of this, Lu Hongtu immediately transmitted spiritual sense and gave the order.

There were many people in the hall, and this kind of raid plan was known to only a few people. Before the dust settled, they had to keep it strictly confidential.

Mulun Town.

Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.

Du Tiechuan and Shuang Ling were also secretly discussing important military matters.

Du Tiechuan: "Cough cough cough, Princess, your Mountain Stepping Wheels have only been made 6,000, which is a gap of 12,000 from the total target of 18,000."

"Now, the vanguard army is trapped; if our army wants to resolve this crisis, your Mountain Stepping Wheels are crucial!"

Shuang Ling nodded: "The Thousand Peaks Forest trapped our vanguard army, intending to force our army to support. We must not fight on the battlefield set by the enemy; this is like rushing into the enemy's trap."

"Don't worry, Commander Du."

"The subsequent mechanism parts and materials are already in a recent transport team."

"I even spent most of my family's wealth to purchase multiple mechanism pedestals from other countries. Using these to make Mountain Stepping Wheels is thirty times faster than I can do personally!"

Du Tiechuan nodded slightly.

Shuang Ling: "My mechanism wheels are no problem. But Commander Du, how is your injury recovering?"

"If our main force launches a large-scale attack on Dragon King Mountain, a large-scale fierce battle will inevitably break out."

"By then, we may have to face the Dragon King with Ginseng Whiskers in the dojo, as well as Young Master Sheng Xu who can counter-fight the Soul Transformation level."

Du Tiechuan sighed: "Sheng Xu is worthy of being a Young Master-level figure; his Void Swallowing Scripture is indeed unique in the world. I was not injured by him, but by myself."

"But because of this, I am more confident in treating it."

"Don't worry, when the great war comes, my injury will inevitably recover. By then, my main body will also come to support. I might even be able to move the Soul Transformation level national beast."

Shuang Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "That couldn't be better!"

Wuzhai Valley.

"This is it." Sun Lingtong said while controlling the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, referring to the map.

He controlled the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon much more often than Unlike Ning Zhuo, so he was more proficient in his skills.

The Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon sneaked to the vicinity of the valley, not daring to get too close to avoid alerting the enemy.

After waiting for a while, they heard the sound of carts and horses moving.

Soon, Sun and Ning saw a transport army, in a long snake formation, winding forward.

Scouts scattered to carry out detailed reconnaissance.

Many scouts returned from Wuzhai Valley and reported to the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Liangzhu Kingdom, and no enemy traces were found.

The Nascent Soul of the Liangzhu Kingdom also personally used means to detect it several times, and determined that no tricks were found, so he waved his hand and led the army into Wuzhai Valley.

Wuzhai Valley still has a story, which is related to the famous virtuous minister Gu Wenjing in history.

Gu Wenjing came from a big family, but he was intelligent, broad-minded, knew the hardships of people's livelihood, and was very sympathetic.

He was never arrogant, and always put the safety of the people first. At the age of thirty, he was appointed as the governor of this place. At that time, it was poor mountains and bad waters, with many unruly people, and bandits were endless, and they could not be wiped out.

When Gu Wenjing took office, he did not learn from the previous few, preparing the army and going into the mountains to wipe out bandits.

Instead, he rectified the industries in the county with thunderous momentum, governed the atmosphere, built water conservancy, laid roads, and vigorously developed agriculture and commerce.

He first used many policies to settle the people to relieve the resentment in the hearts of the people.

Then, by reducing taxes and broadening levies, he exempted the people from many bitter labors.

Afterward, he gathered manpower and material resources to repair dilapidated farmland dams, waterwheels, etc., improved farming skills, and carried out promotion and popularization.

Day after day, year after year, Gu Wenjing's reputation rose among the people until it reached its peak.

The people's lives gradually became rich, and the hearts of the people gradually stabilized.

In the last three months of his term, Gu Wenjing officially "took action" against the bandits in the valley.

He did not send any army, but posted a "Book of No Crime" at the city gate, indicating that within three months, bandits who took the initiative to surrender, unless they were serious crimes, would be forgiven!

No one missed a single word of the content!

Not only that, the government also distributed good farmland and gave the bandits enough labor capital to allow ordinary cultivator families to live peacefully.

Once this policy came out, the bandits followed.

The stubborn disease of banditry that had plagued the country for many years was eliminated by Gu Wenjing in this way.

When Gu Wenjing was transferred, the valley where the original bandits gathered was renamed by the world. To commemorate Gu Wenjing's great achievements, it was renamed Wuzhai Valley.

However, in Wuzhai Valley today, there are many thieves lurking.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Hen, thanks to your means, otherwise we would have been discovered." The corrupt poison general Diao Ye of the Hundred Poison Tribe said very happily.

Wu Hen wore a black robe, his long hair was messy, and he said lightly: "Take action, I don't know why, I always feel a bit not good."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, taking advantage of the transport army entering the valley, this group of people in the Thousand Peaks Forest launched an attack.

Awoo!

The wolf pack poured down like a tide.

It was Gu Ya of the Cangyue Tribe who took action and commanded the wolf pack to attack.

The transport team was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos, with many casualties.

The escorting Nascent Soul cultivator was furious, held a long sword, and commanded the military strategy to first strengthen the defense, and then prepare to change the formation.

Among the ambushing cultivators, Cang Teng Wang wore ancient vine battle armor, took out a black big bow, and shot out vines one after another.

Soldiers in key positions of the formation continuously sprouted vines from their bodies and died on the spot.

The change of formation was thus hindered, and the speed was several times slower.

The Nascent Soul cultivator was furious, first cast the military strategy of "Soldiers Value Speed", and then used the general seal to catalyze the military strategy within it to bless the defense of the whole army.

Then, he took out the token, threw it out, and kept speaking orders.

The military force was invisible, immediately capturing one cultivator after another, even if it was dragging them, it dragged them to key positions to assist in changing the formation.

The Thousand Peaks Forest side had been prepared for a long time, and a Nascent Soul cultivator reached into the bag and grabbed a handful of green beans and sprinkled them out.

The next moment, the green beans turned into one strong man after another with green scarves wrapped around their heads, falling from the sky and killing into the Liangzhu Kingdom's army.

It was impossible for the soldiers to change the formation.

These green-scarved strong men were all like green rocks, very sturdy, and had strong defense. Without solving them, it was basically impossible for the Liangzhu Kingdom's transport team to change the formation smoothly.

The escorting cultivators had no choice but to change orders, mobilizing elites one by one to deal with these huge green-scarved strong men.

The blind barbarian cultivator Di Lu, the Wu Hen who practiced strange ways, and the corrupt poison general Diao Ye who threw spears rushed into the battle formation and surrounded the escorting Nascent Soul general.

The Nascent Soul general blocked left and right, gradually falling into a disadvantage.

He constantly mobilized military force to bless himself to resist the siege. But in this way, most of the military force was poured into him, causing the soldiers to benefit less, and many soldiers died in the fierce battle.

Sun Lingtong's eyes were bright, staring at the battlefield: "No way? Liangzhu Kingdom hasn't learned a lesson since the last ambush?"

As soon as the words fell, two Nascent Soul cultivators fell from the sky.

"Thieves of the Thousand Peaks Forest, I, Fuyunzi (Shanyuezi), have been waiting for a long time!"

The two spoke in unison, cooperating tacitly.

One person cast a cloud-attribute spell, raising a rope of pure white cotton clouds to bind a large number of green-turbaned strongmen, rendering the latter into immobile targets.

The other held a small mountain-shaped magic treasure, constantly catalyzing one magnificent mountain seal after another, shaking back many barbarian cultivators.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed: "These two are famous itinerant cultivators of the Liangzhu Kingdom, and their combat strength is also very outstanding among the Nascent Soul level. I didn't expect that this time, the military recruited them."

Liangzhu Kingdom learned from its mistakes, and the ambush suffered a loss, so naturally it had to ensure the logistics were stable, so it secretly recruited this pair of friends, Fuyunzi and Shanyuezi, with heavy money.

There are no incompetent people under a famous name.

These two were indeed powerful. Especially, they could also cooperate with each other, one moving and one static, one soft and one hard, and could even combine attacks to explode with powerful power.

The Thousand Peaks Forest had no army, all were individual cultivators with high cultivation and combat strength.

The Liangzhu Kingdom's transport team was severely interfered with, and it was difficult to change the formation.

In this situation, individual cultivators became the main force determining the battlefield.

What a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

It killed until the world changed color, the sun and moon had no light, the shouting shook the sky, and the blood flowed to drift the pestle.

The two sides killed until they were dark and dim, gradually exhausted. The ordinary soldiers suffered, being affected by the aftermath of various confrontations, and countless died miserably.

"It's about time, take action!" Sun and Ning waited patiently, and seeing the timing was ripe, they took action fiercely.

Earth Walking Technique.

The next moment, a huge round stone ball suddenly emerged from the ground and came to the front of the mechanism vehicle.

Stealing Technique—Real Copying Hand.

The military supplies in the mechanism carriage were quickly swallowed by the stone ball.

"Old Monster Shi Zhong?!" Both sides of the battle were shocked.

"Great, Old Monster Shi Zhong is supporting us, this battle will be won! Destroy and damage these military supplies!" The eagle-headed human-bodied demon cultivator Chen Lingfeng shouted, saying that he shot out a wind blade.

As a result, the next moment, the wind blade was destroyed by "Old Monster Shi Zhong".

Old Monster Shi Zhong roared: "Don't ruin my good deeds, you fight your own fight."

Saying that, he stole the carriage that had just been aimed at by the wind blade and blocked by his own attack.

Chen Lingfeng was messy in the wind for a while.

"Old Monster Shi Zhong came for military supplies?"

"Stop him, stop him quickly!"

The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liangzhu Kingdom were suddenly anxious.

It was because only they knew how huge the value of the things escorted here was!

Sun and Ning controlled the stone ball, earth-walked again, and went deep underground.

The three Nascent Souls of the Liangzhu Kingdom could not intercept, so they had to turn back and fight with the people of the Thousand Peaks Forest again.

Sun and Ning got what they wanted and waited patiently.

When both sides were fighting fiercely, "Old Monster Shi Zhong" appeared again and swept away the materials in another mechanism carriage.

"These are all mechanism pedestals?"

"Wait, this, this is the Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was dumbfounded!

Any Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform is a Nascent Soul level mechanism pedestal.
