Chapter 522: Battle of Wisdom and Courage
In the Divine Capital City, above the Jiuling Mountain, chariots covering an area of hundreds of miles rose into the air, forming neat rows and gradually spreading out in all directions.
Not long after, one hundred and twenty huge chariots formed a giant square formation with a radius of more than five thousand miles above the Divine Capital City, almost covering the entire Divine Capital City. The large flags that were hundreds of feet high were also erected in an orderly manner.
Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty Royal Guards!
This scene is quite impressive.
Almost all the residents of Shendu City ran out, looking at the dense chariots in the sky, their faces filled with pride.
This is the army of the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty. Each of them is a demon god, and they are all wearing fairy armor, with fairy swords on their waists, and they are very majestic.
Chen Jiu had seen this scene many times. He asked his disciple Yunxia Beast to display this scene so that the people of Divine Capital City could see how powerful the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty's army was.
The people of Shendu City were all amazed, and he took this opportunity to call over Prime Minister Mu Chen Lang, True Lord Tianjue and others to give them a detailed briefing.
After he finished giving instructions, the 120,000 guards were almost in place. He simply raised his hand and waved, and took the 120,000 guards , Yuyi Tianzun, Yunxiao Tianzun, Yunxia Beast and others into the Kingdom of God, and then quickly flashed to Beihai City.
You are finally here, old man.
Ancestor Xuanyin has been waiting for several days, and the bat god puppets under his command have been fully equipped. However, Chen Jiu never comes, and he is getting extremely anxious.
As soon as Chen Jiu flashed over, he came up and said impatiently: "Master Jiu, can we set off now?"
Uh, this guy is so enthusiastic, this really boosts morale.
But don't be in a hurry.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved, summoning out the royal guards, Yuyi Tianzun, Yunxiao Tianzun and others.
My God, there are still so many guards in the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty!
When Ancestor Xuanyin saw this, he was stunned.
However, Chen Jiu pulled the Yunxia Beast over as if nothing had happened and gave it a detailed explanation. He ordered him to move his soldiers and the reduced chariots onto the four walls of Beihai City. Then he raised his hand and summoned the twelve generals from Dikui Camp to Dipi Camp.
These gods thought that Chen Jiu wanted them to go hunting with him, but Chen Jiu waved his hand and took out 1,200 huge jade boxes. He then said solemnly, "These are 12 million bottles of wood-type immortal pills. Each of you take 100 boxes and give 100 bottles to each of your soldiers. Then take them to the Tiandao Pavilion in the Divine Capital City to find the instructor Tian Jue Zhenjun and others.
This month, you will take your men to the Heavenly Dao Hall in the Divine Capital City to listen to the instructor's lectures on the Wood Element Heavenly Dao, take elixirs and practice. After a month, you will switch guard with the other twelve battalions."
My God, twelve million bottles of elixirs, isn’t that too terrifying?
The Grand Master actually asked them to go to the Divine Capital City to practice and comprehend the Wood Element Heavenly Dao!
However, this seems a little insufficient.
Sun Xuanjia hesitated for a moment, but still asked carefully: "Grandmaster, what should we do with the officers under our command? Most of them haven't comprehended the Wood Element Heavenly Dao. Also, we have all comprehended the Wood Element Heavenly Dao, so what are we going to do over there?"
This is indeed something that has been overlooked. They cannot just let the soldiers under their command practice while these divine generals and other leading officers do not practice.
The twelve camps consist of twelve divine generals, one hundred and twenty generals of a thousand men, and one thousand two hundred captains of a hundred men.
Chen Jiu estimated silently, and gave each of them two boxes of wood elixirs, and then took out four boxes of elixirs of other elements, and then he explained in detail: "If you have comprehended the wood element of the Heavenly Dao, you can comprehend the other five elements of the Heavenly Dao. Divide these four boxes of elixirs, and comprehend the Heavenly Dao that you have more talent for. There are many Heavenly Dao Halls over there, and the instructors will also teach other Heavenly Daos in other Heavenly Dao Halls every day. You can go and listen by yourselves."
Well, originally the officers gave more, almost two hundred bottles each, and the generals gave several thousand bottles each.
The twelve generals bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you quickly gather your men and go to Shendu City to find the instructor, Tianjue Zhenjun. You know the teleportation array, it's inside the Concentration Bell in the City Lord's Mansion. You can go through the teleportation array and arrive soon."
The twelve divine generals happily took the elixir and left, but Old Ancestor Xuanyin just stood there in a daze, unable to speak a word.
My God, this is more than 10 million bottles of elixirs. Jiu Ye’s generosity is simply terrifying.
Seeing that this guy was standing there without saying anything, Chen Jiu simply pulled Yuyi Tianzun and Yunxiao Tianzun to explain in detail, then smiled and said: "Snake Master, what's the matter? Aren't you in a hurry to set off? Where's the map? Have you checked the situation in the north? There are many monsters there, and how Shebi Shizu and others deployed their defenses? Have you checked it out clearly?"
Xuanyin Tianzun quickly took out the map and explained in detail: "Master Jiu, I have investigated all of this. You can see that there are many monsters in these sea areas. As for the deployment of Shebi Shizu and his men, it is really a bit strange. They have arranged a few ghost cultivators on the islands more than 40,000 miles to the north. There seem to be only a hundred ghost cultivators on each island."
Is this getting less and less?
Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this.
This should be unlikely. They either don't come, or they come more and more, and then less and less. That doesn't make sense.
Since they have sent people to defend those islands, it proves that they still don't want to give up the magical herbs and medicines on those islands. However, a hundred ghost cultivators will definitely not be able to defend an island. Why is this so?
Chen Jiu pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "Master Snake, they may have set an ambush, waiting for you to take the bait."
ah?
These guys, are they going too far?
Why didn't you set an ambush when Old Ancestor Bei Ming rushed over? Now it's finally my turn, and you actually set an ambush for me!
Ancestor Xuanyin said rather depressedly: "Master Jiu, what should we do then?"
Although he wanted to be rewarded for his merit, he also didn't want to get into an ambush and risk his life.
This is easy.
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Be careful and remember not to chase after a desperate enemy."
He knew what it meant to be careful. He had already consulted the Bei Ming Patriarch about it. Being careful meant to use spiritual sense to investigate carefully before going forward every time.
Question: What does it mean to not pursue a desperate enemy?
Xuanyin Patriarch thought for a moment, then asked, "Master Jiu, what do you mean by don't chase after a desperate enemy?"
Chen Jiu explained in detail: "As long as you are careful, they will definitely not be able to ambush you. What can they do if they can't ambush you? They can only use bait to lure you. Don't chase the desperate enemy means don't chase their ghost cultivators, no matter how many there are. You just need to carefully clear them out within a range of about ten thousand miles to the north of our hunting area every day."
Wouldn't that mean I won't get any credit?
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xuanyin fell into deep thought.
Chen Jiu was not in a hurry. He just waited on the side until this guy showed a hint of realization. Then he asked, "Master Snake, can we set off now?"
Ancestor Xuanyin nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, let's go."
Chen Jiu was not in a hurry. With their strength, as long as they did not force their way into the encirclement, the Shebi Corpse Ancestors would not be able to do anything to them.
They just need to advance slowly, one front and one back. After all, it is they who are attacking other people's territory, not other people attacking their territory, so it is they who should be anxious.
At this moment they were considered a very professional hunting team. Many waters in the North Sea were sparsely populated, and there were too many monsters. They hunted more than a thousand monsters a day, constantly harvesting prey and were very busy.
However, Patriarch Xuanyin was very cautious, fearing that he would be ambushed.
The idea he came up with was actually very simple, which was to visit a large number of islands at one time.
There are only a hundred or so ghost cultivators on each island, so he sent out his spiritual sense to investigate carefully. If there is no problem, he will send 10,000 Bat God puppets to each island for a sneak attack.
In this way, he could harvest hundreds or even thousands of ghost cultivators every time. Although he didn't kill many, it was relatively easy and fast. He basically just flashed over and swept them carefully, then scattered the Bat God puppets, and the battle was resolved in two or three moves.
He did this for a few days and managed to kill tens of thousands of enemies.
Seeing that he was cleaning so carefully and not advancing, people were really a little anxious. Chen Jiu actually guessed right. People really sent out bait to lure him.
Every time he rushed to a sea area and killed the ghost cultivators guarding a large island, the other party would send out tens of thousands of ghost cultivators, seemingly wanting to fight him. But when they saw how many people he had, they pretended to be scared and turned around and ran away.
If Chen Jiu hadn't warned him, he might really have chased after him.
After all, there were tens of thousands of ghost cultivators. If he could take care of them all, his contribution would be greater than that of Old Ancestor Bei Ming, and he would definitely get more rewards than Old Ancestor Bei Ming.
But, this is a bait, you can't bite it, if you bite it you will be ambushed.
He could only pretend that he didn't see it and slowly moved northward without any hurry.
Although this would not bring much credit, at least there would be no danger. If he took the risk to take the bait, he might lose his life. He was timid by nature, so he would not be so reckless.
Several ancestors in the Ghost Realm were so annoyed by what he did. They really didn't expect that after concentrating their forces to set up an ambush, they would encounter the least courageous among the three ancestors.
If this guy doesn't take the bait, I can only show my strength and scare him away.
Patriarch Xuanyin didn't know that people were trying to scare him. Early that morning, he still followed Chen Jiu out to the sea. After arriving at the hunting area for monsters, he led his men carefully to the north.
At this moment, they have actually advanced to more than 50,000 to 60,000 miles north of Beihai City. The last time the Bei Ming Patriarch advanced to this position, others seemed to have reacted.
However, he ran away last time, what will happen this time?
Ancestor Xuanyin carefully moved to the sea area about ten thousand miles away from the hunting area and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and was almost frightened to turn around and run away.
Wow, they have gathered more than 100,000 demon god puppets and more than 200,000 ghost cultivators on a large island with a radius of thousands of miles. Moreover, except for Shebi Corpse Ancestor, the other three ancestors are all there.
The Xuanyin Patriarch was frightened, and he quickly flashed to Chen Jiu's side, and said in panic: "Master Jiu, it seems that they have gathered all their troops to fight us to the death."
Do they still dare to fight us?
Chen Jiu used his spiritual sense to cover the 12th Battalion soldiers who were about to act as bait and ordered them to stop and wait. Then he asked solemnly, "How many troops have they gathered?"
Ancestor Xuanyin was still a little panicked and said, "There are more than 100,000 demon god puppets, more than 200,000 ghost cultivators, and three ancestors. Except for Ancestor Shebi, they seem to have gathered all the troops they can."
This was indeed the total strength they had when they escaped from Uttarakuru.
When they defeated the enemy and forced them to flee, Shebi Corpse Ancestor indeed had more than 100,000 demon god zombies under his command, and the other three ancestors had more than 300,000 ghost cultivators under their command. However, in more than a month, they killed 50,000 to 60,000 of them, leaving only more than 200,000.
The key point is that Shebi Shizu has been roaming the North Sea for so long, it is impossible that his strength has not increased at all. This can be seen from the immortal palaces, divine kingdoms and space entrances left on the islands along the way.
These guys killed quite a few true gods and demon gods, the number was at least over 100,000.
Therefore, it is impossible that the strength of Shebi Corpse Ancestor has not increased at all. He has at least 300,000 demon god zombies under his command.
There are only more than 100,000 of them at this moment, which proves that Shebi Shizu is most likely not here. That guy is probably still chasing the peripheral forces of Beijuluzhou and even the ancestors of the demon clan in the north to kill them.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then said decisively: "Let's not hunt today, let's go and take a look together."
After that, he directly took the soldiers of the 24th Battalion of the Divine Realm Legion, Yuyi Tianzun, Yunxiao Tianzun and others into the Divine Kingdom, and then raised his hand and said, "Master Snake, lead the way, I will go with you to take a look."
When Patriarch Xuanyin saw that he brought the twenty-fourth battalion of soldiers with him, his expression looked a little better.
Although their ancestors were not as numerous as others at the moment, they had more than 100,000 more men and horses than others. They should be considered stronger than others, and would not lose even if a fight broke out.
He took Chen Jiu and dodged carefully a few times, and soon arrived at a location about 5,000 miles south of the island.
Having arrived here, he really didn't dare to go north anymore.
Chen Jiu directly extended his spiritual sense to take a look, and his face was full of understanding.
Sure enough, Shebi Corpse Ancestor has more than a hundred thousand demon god zombies under his command.
Because most of these demon god zombies were at the first level of demon god, and almost all of the demon god zombies at the first level under Shebi Corpse Ancestor were killed by them.
In other words, Shebi Corpse Ancestor should have continued to chase northwards, and he left behind these more than 100,000 demon god zombies to give courage to the other three ancestors.
These guys probably don't know that he has been following the Bei Ming Patriarch and the Xuan Yin Patriarch with the twenty-fourth battalion of soldiers, otherwise, the Shebi Corpse Patriarch would not have been so careless as to leave more than a hundred thousand demon god zombies here.
The people they are counting should be the people under the command of Ancestor Bei Ming or Ancestor Xuan Yin.
Because every time, the Bei Ming Patriarch and the Xuan Yin Patriarch would rush over with 100,000 bat god puppets and 200,000 ghost cultivators.
If you calculate it this way, their more than 100,000 demon god zombies are definitely stronger than their 100,000 bat god puppets, and their more than 200,000 ghost cultivators are definitely stronger than their 200,000 ghost cultivators. They also have three ancestors, while they only have one ancestor each time, so they have two fewer ancestors. They are definitely not as strong as them.
However, the situation is different when the twenty-four battalions of Divine Realm Legion soldiers he brought with him are included, and that is, they are stronger than others.
If they all rush forward together, they should be able to win the battle.
The question is, should we rush up and fight the enemy to the death?
