Chapter 1171: Sacrifice

In the early morning, the figure of He Batyue appeared in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The palace was quiet and empty.

He walked through several temples until he reached the outside of the imperial study of the Northern Wei Emperor, and then stopped.

There were people in the imperial study, but not the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but two elderly officials.

His brow furrowed.

He pushed open the door to the imperial study and looked at the two elderly officials with stunned faces.

He recognized one of the officials, and the one he had met recognized him.

So he looked at the elderly official and asked, "Lord Zhang, where has the emperor gone?"

The elderly official didn't talk nonsense, and there wasn't much rest of the look on his face, he just shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"What about the rest?"

He Batyue looked at him, and then asked, "Why are you so calm?"

"Soon after Shangqiu had a vision last night, the Holy Lord sent down an edict to let the officials not enter the palace for the time being, and at the same time dismissed the worshippers in the palace, saying that if it was the Demon Sect or the palace, they would be treated with courtesy. The two of us were instructed by the Holy Lords to deal with some miscellaneous affairs between the DPRK and China. The elderly official looked at He Batyue and replied.

"Treat each other with courtesy?" He Bayue looked at the two elderly officials, his face did not change significantly, but he repeated these four words.

The elderly official said, "Exactly." ”

"Just abandoned the palace and ran away?" He Bayue shook his head, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed some continuous fluctuations in the distance.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was silent for a moment, and the expression on his face became complicated.

There is a war at the beginning.

From the many small vitality fluctuations that finally made up him can clearly perceive the vitality fluctuations, from the direction where those vitality fluctuations occurred, he instantly judged that one of them was the army that Achai Zhen was still staying in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

One side of the war is Achaichen's army, and the other side is naturally inseparable from the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Originally, in his opinion, after the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty brazenly launched the Battle of Guanlong at all costs, it was impossible for the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty to conduct another big battle, whether it was the armament or the physical strength of those border troops, it was no longer possible to support them to carry out the next big war so quickly.

However, it turned out that he was wrong.

Of course, this miscalculation would not have dealt a big blow to his confidence, but his mood at this time was a little complicated.

In his plan, the Demon Sect has always been waiting for him to harvest the fruit, but last night he appeared in front of him early, and even if he was sure that the Demon Sect was seriously injured and dying, even if he could survive, it was extremely reluctant to survive, and in terms of personal strength, it was impossible to pose any threat to him.

But he didn't get the Nether Silkworm and the Nine Nether King Swords smoothly.

Although the Heavenly Mandate Blood Box can also make him continue to become stronger, he is very humble by nature, and he feels that since the Emperor of the Netherworld paid more attention to the Netherworld Silkworm back then, and since the Netherworld Silkworm was used as a natal weapon, it naturally meant that the Netherworld Silkworm was far more important than the Heavenly Mandate Blood Box.

And before the Guanlong War, even if the old woman in this palace left the world with his father He Badu, he did not dare to enter the Northern Wei palace at will before the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty completely showed his strength and exposed the shadow.

Now that he has defeated the Demon Sect, killed Shen Nian and obtained the complete Supreme Method of the Ghost Emperor, in a sense, even if he did not get the Netherworld Silkworm and the Nine Netherworld King Sword, he has completely replaced Shen Yue's position back then.

Because Shen Yue didn't have the Netherworld Silkworm and the Nine Netherworld King Sword back then, and he even had more Heavenly Mandate Blood Box than Shen Yue.

The rest of the fish who had slipped through the net and cultivated the exercises related to the Emperor of You, as well as the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and others, had no threat to him at all, and he could walk in Luoyang and this palace at will, but he didn't expect that this empty and even deserted palace would actually treat him with courtesy, and just let him take it.

This already made him feel that a punch had landed in the air, but at this time, the battle against Achai's army, or the encirclement and suppression, made him feel even more

Yes, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty seemed to let him go when he knew that he couldn't stop him from becoming stronger, and just concentrated on doing what they could.

do, I'm busy doing mine.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with each other?

It made him feel even more weird.

Ignoring him and doing what he could do made it seem like he couldn't control the game, leaving him with no calculations to speak of, and he had to keep up with these people.

.......

There were many fortresses and beacons on the border between the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties.

In terms of transmitting military information, the means possessed by the armies of both the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties were roughly the same.

Fireworks combined with flags, carrier pigeons, and falcons, if all these means are used, the speed of military information transmission is astonishing.

In the past, what happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty was transmitted to the Southern Dynasties, or what happened in the Southern Dynasties was transmitted to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the most delayed time was the section of the border between the two sides.

The border armies of the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties would intercept and kill each other's carrier pigeons and falcons as much as possible, and as for fireworks and flags, someone had to be able to pass on the exact military information from the other side's territory to their own fortresses first.

If the fastest carrier pigeons and falcons are intercepted and passed on by personnel, the fastest of them will be delayed for a day or two, and the slow ones may be several days, and if the blockade is perfect, some military information may not be known to the other side of the military for ten days and a half months.

So before that, some things that often happened in Luoyang would not be known to the elites of Jiankang for about half a month at the earliest.

However, this morning, on the border between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was an unprecedented scene for the border armies of both sides.

The beacon fire continued to ignite, the carrier pigeons and eagle falcons continued to fly from the various fortresses, these carrier pigeons and eagle falcons, which were usually extremely important to the border army, were like several pigeon sheds collectively released together today, and on the border of the entire Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, these birds were simply like migrating swallows, and they actually gave people a dense feeling.

The fireworks and flags of the border army of the Southern Dynasty and the border army of the Northern Wei Dynasty were originally secret languages, and they were not incomprehensible, and even if the two sides met, they might not be able to know the meaning of what the other party wanted to convey, but today, the camps of both sides have appeared in their own places to understand these secret words.

Some were outsiders outside the camp, while others were originally hidden in the opposing army.

The border between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, which used to delay the most time, has become the fastest area to transmit today.

Soon after the outbreak of the Shangqiu Battle last night, the military of the entire Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty had already quickly known that the two sides of the battle were Demon Sect and He Bayue, but there was no way to know how the battle would be won or lost.

Today, the military officials of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty already know that the real winner is He Batyue, and according to the exact military situation, He Batyue will completely replace Shen Yue and the Demon Sect and become the most terrible enemy in the world.

At the same time, they also knew that the Demon Sect wanted to see a young man named Wang Pingyang in Jiankang City.

Beacon smoke continued to ignite on the vast land, and on the hill not far from a certain fortress, Ni Yunshan looked at the beacon smoke banner silently.

She was one of the most powerful cultivators in the border army, and she even knew the flight paths of some carrier pigeons and falcons very well, so she had even been given enough information before that.

According to these messages, the Demon Sect should be dying.

She didn't know why the Demon Sect had to see Wang Pingyang at such a time, but she knew that it must have a very important meaning.

She hadn't figured out her course of action yet, but since that was the case, she felt that she could try to get in touch with Tie Cejun, and she should be able to stay at the border and wait for the arrival of the Demon Sect or Wang Pingyang.

In another fortress not far from her position at this time, Lin Wangbei stood outside a camp tent, and beside him were Chen Qianru and several high-ranking generals of the border army.

Knowing the results of the battle in Shangqiu last night, Lin Wangbei's eyes had indescribable pain.

All the generals of the border army on this side didn't care much about Shen Nian's death, in fact, for all of them, the outcome of the battle between the Demon Sect and He Bayue was something to care about.

Shen Nian this young man, except for him

In addition to the fact that it is Shen Yue's son, it seems to be a subsidiary victim in this battle, just like a vase that was accidentally broken by two people in a fierce battle.

At this time, the sense of presence really seems to be so.

And the vast majority of people don't have much sympathy for this young man, Shen Yue used to be the pillar of the south and the object of respect for all the people of the Southern Dynasty, but with the end of the Guanlong War, with the revelation of his identity, at least the vast majority of cultivators and these military people have completely changed their feelings about him, and of course these people have no good impression of Shen Nian who stayed in the world and wanted to take over his position.

But it was different for him.

He happened to rescue Shen Nian at sea, and then he had a good time with this young man.

Regardless of the identities of both parties, in his eyes, Shen Nian was just a lost young man, he was not evil, on the contrary, he felt that Shen Nian was very kind.

He always felt that if Shen Nian followed him back to the Southern Dynasty, he would be able to be like Lin Yi and those young people in Tie Cejun, he would also become responsible, and he would also become a cultivator who was very useful to the world.

He may not take the path that Shen Yue wants him to take at all.

Because he didn't have the upbringing experience of Shen Yue's people, he took a different path.

It's like the path Lin Yi took, and the path he grew up on was not the same.

A person's growth also has a lot to do with the environment he is in and the people around him.

No young person does not make mistakes.

Of course, Shen Nian will also make mistakes.

It's just that the vast majority of young people have the opportunity to change after making mistakes, but Shen Nian has no chance to change again.

Listening to the results of this battle, he was even more sure that Chen Ziyun's judgment was right.

They couldn't force Shen Nian to stay from He Bayue's hands that day.

But the more so, when he thought of this young man with an amazing background, but who seemed extremely confused and weak at sea, even cowardly, he was still extremely sad.

This kind of grief is the same as when he was in charge of the army, he lost those young people around him in the army.

Heartache is not the real pain of the flesh, sometimes it is worse than the pain of the flesh.

But as the morning sun continued to fall, when the more and more enthusiastic sunlight fell on his body, Lin Wangbei felt some real pain.

He was shocked to find that an inexplicable qi machine quietly emerged from his body.

It was as if it had been frozen in thin ice, but it was melted by the sunlight before it was released.

This qi made him feel a little familiar, it was Shen Nian's breath.

He felt a pinprick in the back of his right hand.

It was as if the sunlight had condensed into tiny needles of fire, constantly piercing the back of his hand, and he felt that the qi machine turned into a real air current, converging towards the back of his hand.

He was even more shocked, he raised his hand, and he saw that some black veins really appeared on the back of his hand, like marks left after burnt skin.

These textures are like runes engraved on the magic weapon, and they seem to be constantly absorbing some vitality.

Lin Wangbei's breathing paused slightly.

He saw the rune-like black textures on the back of his hand as if they had formed a mysterious catalogue.

The catalogue is only the size of a few fingerprints, but the textures are complex.

With his cultivation, he couldn't understand what it meant at this time.

But at this time, his heartache was even worse.

Because he vaguely guessed that this was something that Shen Nian secretly left for himself.

The young man trusted him at the time, thinking that he could better face the world after he landed, but the young man also trusted him.

If this young man had not suffered an accident, perhaps the qi that remained in his body would not have been revealed.

It is only when he dies, when some of his vital energy disappears, that this qi in his body will naturally manifest.

This is really a very nice young man.

He was heartbroken.
