Chapter 862: Northern Song ambushes Great Tang troops, the rise of the Twin Dragon Gang!

Within the Northern Song territory.

Ever since the news that Li Shimin secretly let part of the Great Tang army return to the Great Tang reached here,

Yuan Tiangang understood the severity of the matter on the Turkic side.

After Yuan Tiangang arranged the remaining matters properly, he directly erupted with his full power at the peak and perfected state of the Heavenly Man Realm of the Earthly Immortal, rushing back to the Great Tang territory at the fastest speed.

And under Yuan Tiangang's decision, among the armies within the Northern Song territory, they had to withdraw troops from three battlefields to return to the Great Tang, used to resist the invasion of the Turks against the Great Tang.

Under the mutual consultation of the armies of all sides, among the armies that came from the Great Tang to the Northern Song, the armies of Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng were withdrawn from the Northern Song territory to head to the border of the Great Tang.

They were going to help Yuan Tiangang drive those scoundrels of the Turks, who had wolfish ambitions, out of the territory of the Great Tang!

But just when the three armies led by Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng were caught off guard, just when they were about to withdraw from the border of the Northern Song,

something happened that Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng would never have thought of in their entire lives.

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

And because Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng had no precautions against the Northern Song beforehand,

they, as generals, did not know about the agreement made by Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang with the Northern Song's guardian deity, Huang Shang, regarding the Northern Song.

They only thought that this time they, the Great Tang, sent troops to the Northern Song just to help the Northern Song beat back those invading forces, and then let the various empires of the Central Plains return to the peace they had in the past.

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

They never expected that the ones dealing with them in the end were not the Western Xia or Great Jin within the Northern Song, not Liang Shan or Fang La, and even less the Turkic tribes invading the Great Tang border!

It was the Northern Song!

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

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

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

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

"Damn it!!! These villains of the Northern Song!! We, the Great Tang, should not 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 an ally!!! Truly 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 Huizong Zhao Ji.

They only felt that the Great Tang sending troops to the Northern Song this time was ill-intentioned and harbored evil designs.

The Northern Song soldiers felt that the Great Tang army coming to the Northern Song was not to help them repel foreign enemies and recover lost territory, but to take advantage of the situation to pick up scraps!

They wanted to annex their Northern Song land!

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

With the prepared attacking the unprepared, the three armies that withdrew from the Northern Song back to the Great Tang this time were directly wiped out by sixty percent at the border of the Northern Song!

Among them, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng, the three leading generals—Changsun Wuji was directly killed in battle, Li Xiaogong was heavily injured, and Wei Zheng forcibly took Changsun Wuji's corpse and the heavily injured Li Xiaogong, along with the remaining forty percent of the troops, to successfully break through the blockade of the Northern Song army and withdraw 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 they were the protagonists of the era and the sons of destiny.

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

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

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

Along the way, they constantly encountered various opportunities.

And in just a short time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling rose from their very low cultivation back then to the Heavenly Immortal Realm of the Earthly Immortal.

Because the techniques Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling practiced were extremely special, as long as the two of them joined forces, even if a martial arts expert at the Heavenly Man Realm of the Earthly Immortal came to deal with them, they might not be able to defeat them!

As the power of the Twin Dragon Gang in the Great Tang Jianghu grew larger and larger, after the discussion between the two leaders of the Twin Dragon Gang, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling,

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

During this period, the Twin Dragon Gang, under the hints of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, had secretly gathered many refugees and trained them into an extremely fierce army in private.

Now that all forces and empires were at their most chaotic, the Great Tang side did not discover the actions of the Twin Dragon Gang at this time.

And because of the war, the Twin Dragon Gang was also very relaxed about gathering refugees.

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

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

……

On the other side, the Great Han.

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

Letting the Nanhua Immortal try his best to observe the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Heavenly Dao,

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

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

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

the Heavenly Dao was chaotic, and when he looked back, there was only void behind him.

Before the Nanhua Immortal could continue to explore, infinite Heavenly Dao power "squeezed" his spirit out of the Heavenly Dao. It was just that before the Nanhua Immortal's spirit was about to be thrown out by the Heavenly Dao, a scene flashed before his eyes.

That was that the final Son of Destiny would definitely be born in the Central Plains!

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

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

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

After that matter, the 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 the injuries on their bodies had also slowly recovered.

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

The two of them were extremely eager to know what the Nanhua Immortal had seen in the Heavenly Dao that day! It actually triggered such a powerful Heavenly Dao backlash power. ===== CHAPTER 863 =====
