Chapter 997: Wu Changkong swears to defend the city to the death
After listening to Xuan Lingzi's question, Jun Moxiao didn't know how to answer for a while.
In the past, when the Five-Nation Alliance existed, he was the leader of the Five-Nation Alliance, so he was naturally in a leading position.
However, now that there is only one country left in the Five-Nation Alliance, Xiyu Country, this alliance is equivalent to non-existence, so he is not the leader of the alliance.
It's not the alliance leader, he's just the pavilion master of Lingyun Pavilion.
Lingyun Pavilion helped the Western Rain Kingdom resist the invasion of the Demon Realm, and at most it was an alliance.
The Kunlun faction has nothing to do with the West Rain Country, so what reason is there to help the West Rain Country compete for world dominance?
In fact, since Xuan Lingzi came to Tianwaitian, except for praising Liu Tingfeng when they first met, he seemed very indifferent at other times, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, but he didn't really have the heart to support this war.
Praising Liu Tingfeng was a hint of appreciation, but it didn't really make him so amazing, after all, it was indeed rare in the Outer Heavens, but among the Nine Great Immortal Mountains, it was nothing.
Of course, if he knew that Liu Tingfeng actually only took four years, he would probably still be shocked, even in the Nine Great Immortal Mountains, when he reached the Tribulation Stage at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he had already started cultivating since he was a child, and moreover, the aura of the Nine Great Immortal Mountains was far stronger than that of the Outer Heavens.
From the bottom of his heart, he was even a little disgusted with Mu Qianmei's behavior of seizing the throne of the Heavenly King of Xiyu Country and excluding Wu Changkong.
He didn't want to help a usurper to dominate the world.
After Xuan Lingzi asked, he waited for a while, but he didn't see Jun Moxiao answering, so he continued:
"If Lingyun Pavilion doesn't have a reason to participate in the battle, then our Kunlun faction doesn't have to continue this war."
"Next, I will help Xiyu Kingdom contact the Tianshan faction and see what their attitude is!"
Jun Mo smiled and muttered for a long time, and then replied slowly:
"If the Western Rain Kingdom loses this war, then our Lingyun Pavilion will have no place in the Outer Heavens, so we must participate in this war."
"As for our relationship with the West Rain Country, it is an alliance of both prosperity and loss."
Xuan Lingzi replied indifferently:
"Since this is the case, then our Kunlun faction will no longer continue to support, I will help Xiyu Kingdom contact the Tianshan faction, and at the same time ask the Kunlun faction's master for instructions, and after getting a reply, we will return to Kunlun Mountain."
Liu Tingfeng stood silently to the side and did not speak again.
He finally deeply realized what Mu Qianmei said again, in this world, no one can rely on it, and in the end he can only rely on himself.
Jun Moxiao also understood that it was useless to say more, so he saluted and thanked him:
"Thank you for your help."
That night, Xuan Lingzi sent a message for help to the Tianshan faction on behalf of Xiyu Country in a special way.
At the same time, he also asked the sect to bring people back to Kunlun Mountain and no longer participate in this war.
The matter was decided, and the men dispersed.
Liu Tingfeng rushed back to Magnolia City as soon as possible and saw Mu Qianmei in the palace.
When Mu Qianmei heard Liu Tingfeng's telling, she couldn't help frowning slightly for a while, and muttered to herself:
"The Kunlun faction is leaving? That's a big impact on us! ”
"According to what he said, the Tianshan faction will not necessarily come to support, and now that the Demon Realm army has received the support of the three sects, it is fine if they do not participate in the war of the ordinary army, if they start a killing spree, we have no resistance at all."
At this critical juncture of victory, Mu Qianmei also felt a deep headache when such an accident happened.
The point is that the Kunlun faction has a good reason to withdraw, they can support Lingyun Pavilion when it is in danger, but they have no obligation to save the Western Rain Country.
The sect that is really related to the Xiyu Kingdom is the Tianshan faction, and the Tianshan faction has not been dispatched, so why did the Kunlun faction make this sacrifice?
The key is that after helping Xiyu Country, the Kunlun faction did not get any benefits, and for a gang, it is natural that it cannot do anything that only gives but does not reap.
Seeing Mu Qianmei frowning and thinking, Liu Tingfeng asked softly:
"Senior sister, do you want to go and see Xuan Lingzi?"
Mu Qianmei groaned for a moment, then shook her head and replied:
"No, I can understand from Xuan Lingzi's words that he has no intention of helping us at all, and I just want to be bored when I go."
For such a high sect, once the matter is decided, begging is the most ineffective, because in their eyes, this kind of secular state is no different from ants.
Mu Qianmei thought hard for a long time, but she didn't have a good countermeasure, so she said to Liu Tingfeng:
"You go back first, watch over there, if it really comes to the point where we can't do anything, we will withdraw our troops first, and it's a big deal to retreat to Yulan City again."
"Qu Yunyang's total strength is now less than 10 million, even if he is allowed to occupy the entire Outer Heaven, he will not be able to digest it, and the sect that came out of the Nine Great Immortal Mountains cannot always stay in the Outer Heaven to help him."
"After the three sects that support the Demon Realm return, we will make a comeback and continue to attack the Demon Realm army."
Liu Tingfeng couldn't help but say worriedly:
"If we retreat, we are afraid that there will be great casualties, because the three sects will carry out a large-scale massacre against us before they leave."
Mu Qianmei said without hesitation:
"Then we will withdraw our troops in advance, and quickly disperse them, break them into pieces, and hide them in those large and small cities, so as not to give them a chance to massacre on a large scale."
"I don't think they're going to kill the whole city, and then they'll suffer a very strong damnation."
That night, Liu Tingfeng immediately returned to Tianmen Mountain, and took advantage of the night to secretly transfer the remaining 20 million troops to Meiling, and then ordered them to hide in the surrounding cities.
The next day, the army of the Western Rain Kingdom did not take the initiative to attack, and the army of the Demon Realm also did not attack.
Although the people of the three major sects together are stronger than the Kunlun faction, if they want to defeat the Kunlun faction smoothly, then the people of the three major sects will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
They were just here to help, and they didn't want to pay that much price.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that they don't know the attitude of the Kunlun faction, and if they knew, they would have avoided the Kunlun faction to attack.
Both sides were unmoved, but it gave Liu Tingfeng time to retreat.
On the evening of the third day, the Tianshan faction finally replied, saying that the current Xiyu Country was no longer the original Xiyu Country, and they refused to provide support.
And that's to be expected.
Along with this news, there was also a reply from the Kunlun faction, who also agreed to the request of the Xuanling Zhenren and promised to let him lead the Kunlun faction's monk army back.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xuan Ling Zhenren retreated with all his monk army.
Qu Yunyang, who got the news, immediately rushed over with the army of the Demon Realm and the people of the three major sects.
However, at this moment, the army of the Xiyu Kingdom had already retreated, and they pounced.
Qu Yunyang, who had been suppressed for a long time, immediately ordered to attack Yong'an City.
When she came to Yong'an City, Mu Qianmei had already withdrawn, and only Wu Changkong, who had deep feelings for Yong'an City, was unwilling to leave, but insisted on guarding Yong'an City.
Wu Changkong took two million troops to stay behind to defend the city.
Although Mu Qianmei repeatedly emphasized that compared with people, life is more important, and at critical moments, the city can be lost, and there is no need to defend the city to the death, but Wu Changkong does not accept such a point of view, especially Yong'an City, which changes its owner again and again, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
This is the capital of the Xiyu Kingdom, a place guarded by the Wu family for generations, and he doesn't want to see this city abandoned again and again.
So, Wu Changkong not only took the initiative to ask to stay and guard this city, but also secretly swore in his heart that he must defend it to the death.
Mu Qianmei couldn't change his mind, so she had to agree to let him stay and guard the city.
As soon as Qu Yunyang's army arrived, they immediately launched a fierce attack, saying that they were attacking the city, but it was better to vent their frustration.
Wu Changkong personally commanded the battle to defend the city, with an army of two million against Qu Yunyang's army of five million, he did not have the slightest fear.
Suddenly, the city gate was finally breached, and Wu Chang took the lead and put up fierce resistance at the city gate.
The three major sects that came with the Demon Realm army have not made a move, they just don't want to break the rule that you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, but at this moment, seeing that Wu Changkong actually has a posture of being a husband and a man, Cao Yucang saw that Wu Changkong personally repelled the Demon Realm army outside the city, and he finally couldn't help swinging a sword.
A sword slashed out, earth-shattering, and the defenders of the city, who did not have the support of a strong monk army, immediately suffered a large number of casualties, and the first to bear the brunt was Wu Changkong.
At this time, Wu Changkong had just rushed out of Yong'an City for dozens of meters, and behind him were the soldiers of Xiyu Kingdom who bravely defended the city.
They defended the city with all their might, and they could stop the ordinary soldiers of the Demon Realm army, but they couldn't stop Cao Yucang's sword casually.
This sword couldn't help but kill Wu Changkong, and at the same time killed hundreds of soldiers behind Wu Changkong.
Before he died, Wu Changkong turned around with endless regret and glanced at the words "Yong'an City" on the city gate for the last time.
Then he fell, and at the last moment of his life, in addition to regret, there was a slight smell of decomposition in his eyes.
After all, although he took refuge in Mu Qianmei, the feelings in his heart were very complicated.
He should have been the master of this country, but now he can only be a general guarding the city, and he is not happy in his heart.
However, he was unable to take back everything that belonged to him, the general trend was gone, he could only take advantage of the situation and join Mu Qianmei's camp.
Although people are alive, but their hearts have long been dead, rather than living in the world, it is better to live and die with Yong'an City, and protect this capital city that haunts him for the last time.
Therefore, he had no fear, but felt that he had finally died a worthy death.
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and in an instant, the entire sky was covered with dark clouds!
The curse that has never appeared has finally come.
