Chapter 502

Within the Northern Song.

Since the news that Li Li Shimin had secretly let the Great Tang army withdraw a portion back to the Great Tang reached here.

Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang understood the severity of the matter regarding the Turks.

After Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang arranged the remaining matters properly, he directly unleashed his full power at the peak of the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm and rushed back to the Great Tang at the fastest speed.

And under Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang’s decision, the army within the Northern Song had to withdraw troops from three battlefields to return to the Great Tang to resist the Turks’ invasion of the Great Tang.

After discussion among the various armies, the armies of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Li Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng among the various armies that came to the Northern Song from the Great Tang were withdrawn from the Northern Song territory to head to the border of the Great Tang.

They were going to help Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang drive those wolves with wild ambitions, the Turks, out of the Great Tang’s territory!

But just when the three armies led by Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Li Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng were unprepared, just as they were about to withdraw from the border of the Northern Song.

Something that Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Li Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng would never have imagined in their lives happened.

They never expected that when they were about to withdraw from the Northern Song border, they would be ambushed by the Northern Song army, their so-called "ally" of the Great Tang!

And because Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Li Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng had no precautions against the Northern Song before this.

After all, in the hearts of these generals, they did not know the agreement that Li Li Shimin and Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang had made with the Northern Song’s guardian deity, Huang Shang, regarding the Northern Song.

They only thought that their Great Tang’s dispatch of troops to the Northern Song this time was just to help the Northern Song fight back those invading forces, and then let the various empires of the Central Plains return to the calmness of the past.

But now, just when they let down their guard and the whole army retreated to the border of the Northern Song, they were ambushed by the ally in their hearts, the Northern Song they kindly helped.

They never expected that the ones who finally dealt with them were not the Western Xia or Great Jin within the Northern Song, not Liang Shan or Fang La, and even less the Turkish tribes invading the Great Tang’s border!

It was the Northern Song!

"Why!!! Why do you treat our Great Tang like this!!!"

"We helped you repel foreign enemies and let the situation in your Northern Song gradually improve!"

"And now you are returning kindness with enmity!!!"

"Are you not afraid of the Great Tang’s fury?!"

"Damn it!!! These villains of the Northern Song!! Our Great Tang shouldn't have sent troops to help them!!!"

"The good men of our Great Tang!!! They didn't die at the hands of the enemy but died at the hands of their allies!!! How ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Countless shouts and resentful voices came from the Great Tang army, and the Northern Song soldiers who ambushed them on their path had no response after hearing the painful shouts from the Great Tang army.

Because the soldiers who came to ambush them this time had already received words from the Northern Song’s ruler, Song Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

They only felt that the Great Tang’s dispatch of troops to the Northern Song this time was ill-intentioned and held ulterior motives.

The Northern Song soldiers felt that the Great Tang’s army came to the Northern Song not to help them repel foreign enemies and recover lost territory, but to take advantage of the situation!

To annex their Northern Song territory!

So they had no pressure in their hearts when ambushing the Great Tang army.

By calculating against the unprepared, six-tenths of the three armies that the Great Tang withdrew from the Northern Song back to the Great Tang were directly wiped out at the border of the Northern Song!

Among them, the three leading generals, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Li Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng—Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was directly killed in battle, Li Li Xiaogong was severely injured, and Wei Zheng forcibly took Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s corpse and the severely injured Li Li Xiaogong, and with the remaining four-tenths of the army, successfully broke through the Northern Song army’s blockade and withdrew from the Northern Song border to return to the Great Tang.

At the same time, in the Jianghu of the Great Tang, a force called the Twin Dragon Gang grew rapidly in the Jianghu of the Great Tang, as if it were the protagonist of the era and the child of Heavenly Fortune.

In a short time, the Twin Dragon Gang grew into a behemoth in the Great Tang’s Jianghu, ruling nearly half of the Jianghu forces in the Great Tang!

And the two gang leaders of the Twin Dragon Gang were Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling, who had obtained many fortuitous encounters by chance back then.

The lives of Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were like they were cheating.

Along the way, they constantly encountered various opportunities.

And in a short time, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling rose from their very low cultivation back then to the Land Deity-Innate realm.

Due to the very special nature of the techniques Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling practiced, as long as the two of them joined forces, even if a martial arts expert at the peak of the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm came to deal with them, they might not be able to defeat them!

As the Twin Dragon Gang’s influence in the Great Tang’s Jianghu grew larger and larger, after discussion between the Twin Dragon Gang’s leaders, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling.

The current Jianghu of the Great Tang could no longer satisfy the two of them, especially Kou Zhong, who had already set his sights on the Great Tang empire!

During this period, under the hints of Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling, the Twin Dragon Gang had secretly gathered many refugees and privately trained them into a very fierce army.

Now that various forces and empires were at their most chaotic, the Great Tang side had not discovered the Twin Dragon Gang’s movements.

And due to the war, the Twin Dragon Gang also found it very easy to gather refugees.

Now Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were just waiting for the Twin Dragon Gang to become stronger, so they could strike at the critical moment when the Great Tang was busy dealing with the Turkish invasion!

At that time, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling believed that with their strength, they would definitely be able to achieve certain merits in the Great Tang!

On the other side, the Great Han.

Back then, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji jointly shared the Heavenly Dao backlash of the Immortal Nanhua Immortal.

Allowing the Immortal Nanhua Immortal to try his best to observe the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

All three of them were severely injured by the Heavenly Dao backlash because they were forced to interact with the Heavenly Dao.

And even after paying such a great price, the Immortal Nanhua Immortal did not comprehend any information related to the three of them from the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the Immortal Nanhua Immortal risked his life and successfully entered his spirit into the Heavenly Dao, but when he looked around.

The Heavenly Dao was in chaos, and when he looked back, there was nothingness behind him.

Before the Immortal Nanhua Immortal could continue to explore, infinite Heavenly Dao power "squeezed" his spirit out of the Heavenly Dao, but before the Immortal Nanhua Immortal’s spirit was about to be thrown out by the Heavenly Dao, a scene did flash before his eyes.

That was that the final Child of Destiny would inevitably be born in the Central Plains!

After the Immortal Nanhua Immortal’s spirit was thrown out of the Heavenly Dao, the endless power of the Heavenly Dao backlash followed his spirit and descended to the place where the Immortal Nanhua Immortal’s physical body was.

If it weren't for Zuo Ci and Yu Ji risking their lives to help the Immortal Nanhua Immortal share the backlash power that descended from the Heavenly Dao at that time.

Perhaps the Immortal Nanhua Immortal at that time would have been directly destroyed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

After that incident, the Immortal Nanhua Immortal, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci had been in seclusion in their cave dwelling.

Until today, the three of them had completely removed the Heavenly Dao backlash power in their bodies, and their injuries had slowly recovered.

After the injuries of Yu Ji and Zuo Ci recovered, the two of them rushed to the cave dwelling where the Immortal Nanhua Immortal was.

They were now extremely eager to know what the Immortal Nanhua Immortal had seen in the Heavenly Dao that day! How could it have triggered such a powerful Heavenly Dao backlash power?
