Chapter 1614 - 177: Xuanhui

Chapter 1614: Chapter 177: Xuanhui

Northern Border of Great Li, the wind and snow sweep in waves.

A troop of iron cavalry, moving slowly against the wind and snow, crosses over the hill.

The leader wears black armor, tall in stature.

Behind him, there are only ten or so riders, all with a powerful aura, at least at the Cave Heaven Realm.

The leader raises his hand.

The iron cavalry halts.

"Swoosh..."

An abrupt wind rises, and the wind and snow mixed with grit howl above the hill, forming a tornado, the world darkens, the void shatters. Clusters of pitch-black flames seep out not far from the hill, coalescing into tall portals, from which emerge figures even taller than the armor-clad ones.

These... are all Great Demons!

Cave Heaven Realm, Yin God Realm, all present!

"Yesterday was supposed to be the day of the siege."

The armored man steps forward alone, pulls the reins, arrives before the leading Great Demon, looks up expressionlessly, and asks, "After one night, why is there no movement at Xuanbei Pass?"

"Heh..."

The Great Demon hears this and can’t help but laugh.

He releases his Dao Domain, enveloping the entire snowy mountain hill.

The wind and snow instantly stagnate.

The atmosphere becomes oppressive.

"Truly interesting."

The Great Demon can’t help but sigh, "Marquis Hunyin, Xuanbei Pass is the border of your Great Li, indeed unexpected, that one day not attacking you would lead to accusations..."

This scene is indeed absurd.

"..."

Marquis Hunyin remains silent.

Since the official showdown in Wu State began, the National Master completely abandoned the Northern Pass.

Nalan Xuance sent orders for himself to go north, to negotiate with "Dragon Wood Venerable" of Erosion Sun Swamp, conveying Qian State’s stance.

Xuanbei Pass, yours to take.

The Demon Country wants to head south, struggling to break the Great Chu Great Wall for a long time...

No problem.

If you can’t break Chu Country, you can try Li Country, here at Xuanbei Pass, the Li Kingdom Imperial City won’t send strong persons to guard it. They might even cooperate with the Demon Tide to make trouble, a true "inside-outside collaboration", every thirty days, the Iron Cavalry from the Southern Four States will launch a grand charge.

With this "humiliating the nation" operation.

Nalan Xuance tightly suppressed Chen Chong, gradually turning the internal war disadvantage around, and successfully gained the current upper hand.

But yesterday, the Demon Tide awaited by Qian State did not commence—

In this way, further encirclement of Ning State and Wu State can only be temporarily pressed.

"Xuanbei Pass has been fought for over a year and still not captured."

Marquis Hunyin speaks bluntly, coldly rebuking, "Does your Demon Country truly want to head south?"

If Xuanbei Pass were broken.

The internal war wouldn’t drag on till now either.

The Qian State camp wishes Chen Chong to die thus on the northern border.

"Ha ha..."

Dragon Wood Venerable’s eyes widen, laughing in anger.

After Sun Eater Venerable perished, the Great Palace Master personally came to the Great Marsh, dispatched a Yang God Venerable to take over the war...

Towards Li Country’s Xuanbei Pass, this "fat meat", the Demon Country always held skepticism, after all, the matter is too absurd, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace doesn’t really believe the Li Kingdom’s imperial family and nobles truly willing to cut off a piece of the northern border, and feed it for free. Of course, the most crucial thing is that Xuanbei Pass isn’t really "fat meat", more like "chicken ribs", tasteless to swallow, a pity to discard.

Chen Chong, Luo Hai, and Luo Lie, three users of Great Divine Power, take turns defending.

The Demon Country here, tried to siege several times, all ended in fierce battles.

After several attempts.

The Heavenly Phoenix Palace lost interest.

Who knows... if Xuanbei Pass is a trap deliberately set by Nalan Xuance and Chen Chong?

Similar tricks over the years weren’t unheard of.

"Marquis Hunyin, you are indeed right."

Dragon Wood Venerable, after laughing for a while, gradually restrains his laughter, seriously saying, "The Demon Country... indeed doesn’t want to head south anymore."

Just in the past two days.

The Great Marsh received communication orders from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

All plans targeting the Northern Great Chu’s border were shelved, led by Great Ape Mountain, pushing all Great Demons of Cave Heaven Realm and above to the north of the Lilan Mountain Range.

A brand new "peace line" is thus drawn.

As for the plans for the southern advance in the Northern Li Country, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace didn’t mention, but judging by their attitude, it should be the same.

Cease fire, halt the spear.

This north-south war... is about to come to an end.

"What?"

Upon these words.

Marquis Hunyin frowns, his face full of disbelief.

Fighting for so many years.

Since he was born and remembered, the Demon Country kept trying to head south... now he’s close to Yang God cultivation, the Demon Country says no more fighting?

What kind of joke is this?

"No joke."

Dragon Wood Venerable, with hands behind his back, speaks lazily, "The meaning from above... I appear today just to tell you, more precisely, tell your master, not to trouble us about things at Xuanbei Pass anymore."

Actually, he felt, not fighting is also good.

After years of strife, the Demon Country’s many Holy Lands paid a heavy price, yet gained nothing.

"Isn’t ’Great Venerable Xuanhui’ responsible for the southern assault at Xuanbei Pass?"

Just at this moment.

Behind Marquis Hunyin, a low voice suddenly emerges.

At the same time.

An extremely powerful Dao Domain instantly unfolds, and suppresses Dragon Wood Venerable’s Dao Domain, the previously dark and cold snowy mountain becomes even darker, only to see strands of pitch-black threads rising from all sides, like giant curtain walls, encapsulating hundreds of square feet.

"This is..."

Dragon Wood Venerable’s pupils constrict.

He tries to release Taoist Intent, wanting to sever a corner of this Black Domain.

But ends in failure.

The pitch-black curtain walls are indeed firm as iron, even with the full strength of his Yin God Great Perfection, they cannot be shaken!

"Iron Curtain!"

Dragon Wood Venerable’s expression turns grim.

This pitch-black curtain wall could only be Nalan Xuance’s [Iron Curtain]!

In this case, the one controlling [Iron Curtain], and easily suppressing my Dao Domain...

Could only be a Yang God Realm Great Divine Ability User from the Human Race!

Click.

Click.

The world darkens, wind and sand turns deathly silent.

A pitch-black figure, riding a horse, slowly separates from the iron cavalry, alone, boldly moving to the forefront.

Everyone bows their heads to show obedience, even Marquis Hunyin is no exception.

This figure, wrapped in a large robe, the wind accentuates his withered-with-weed silhouette. A short knife hangs from his waist, the voice hoarse, unlike human, striking to the soul, stirring ripples in Dragon Wood Venerable’s Heart Lake.

It is said Nalan Xuance has mastered String Skill to an astonishing realm.

In these years.

He has commanded numerous Death Warrior Puppets, charging within Li Country, single-handedly suppressing Fan Yin Temple and One Strike Sect.

Clearly...

This figure, is Nalan Xuance’s puppet controlled by string skills.

"Where is Xuanhui, take me to him."

The withered figure speaks calmly.

"..."

Dragon Wood Venerable’s expression is complex, instinctively looking back.

This kind of affair, he cannot decide.

After Great Palace Master came to the Great Marsh.

The apparent Venerable Master of this Great Marsh is Silver Moon, but actually, the real power always lies with the Heavenly Phoenix Palace. Assaulting Xuanbei Pass has always been led by Xuanhui, though the Great Venerable’s strength is not strong, but deeply trusted by Great Palace Master, his status is similar to [Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning] of Great Ape Mountain, he is a long-time companion of the Great Palace Master.

"Xuanhui, I know you’re watching."

The withered figure gazes at the shattered void behind Dragon Wood Venerable, softly saying, "This isn’t the border of Li Country, why not show yourself for a meeting."
