Chapter 160 The storm is coming
Hearing the battle report, Li Tiangang’s frown did not change and he only nodded slightly.
Then, he looked towards the black land outside the vast territory.
"These monsters have repeatedly harassed us and are testing our military strength in the east."
"Fifth Brother is guarding the west side. The demons have already detected it. They may come from the north or south..."
When he mentioned the south, his eyes narrowed.
In the south of Liangzhou is the Tianmen Pass.
When he thought of that pass, he thought of the stubborn and unyielding young man's figure and his stubborn and cold eyes.
The wrinkles between his brows became deeper.
"Marshal, the young master killed the little demon king in Dayue City earlier, so the old demon king of Wanshan probably won't give up easily."
Next to him, Li Fu said with a worried look.
He looked at the wounded and disabled soldiers all around him, and thought of the young man at the gate that day. He knew very well how heavy the wind and snow were on the frontier.
Li Tiangang looked unmoved and said: "The little demon king is extremely talented. The old demon king of Wanshan will never give up. He may collude with other demons to commit crimes together."
"Then..." Li Fu couldn't help but glance at him.
Li Tiangang said calmly: "Hao'er is protected secretly by a Si Lijing man who is an old friend of his second uncle, and there is also Qilin from Tan Gong Academy. He should be fine."
"This time I lead the army to Liangzhou, and all the affairs in the house will be temporarily handed over to my sister-in-law. No one is looking at my second uncle, and no one can control him. He will probably lose his patience and go to Tianmenguan."
"With them here, the old demon king of Wanshan can still protect himself even if he gathers the other two demon kings outside Tianmen Pass to attack. He can also take this opportunity to clean up the demon kings outside Tianmen Pass and let the Demon Suppressing Department's If people go to chew it, there is no need to abandon Tianmenguan.”
The previously planned abandonment of Tianmen Pass was a helpless move.
If it can be saved, it is naturally the best.
After all, this is a place opened by the late emperor and the ancestors of the Li family, soaked in the blood of countless senior soldiers.
Li Fu was slightly startled. If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that Li Hao was being used to catch the demon king outside the pass?
"Would it be too dangerous for the young master to participate in the battle in the Four Realms?" Li Fu couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"If he doesn't want to participate, he can just retreat. As long as he keeps his head down, the Divine General's Mansion will be waiting for him to return at any time."
Li Tiangang said coldly: "The letter I sent him before was given to him at the foot of the stairs. He was arrogant and refused to admit his mistake. He didn't even reply to the letter!"
"In that case, let those demon kings treat him and let him know what cruelty is and what despair is. When he sees life and death, he will know how ridiculous his unruliness is!"
"But the young master is young after all, and it's normal to have a young man's temper. Will this way..."
"No need to say it."
Li Tiangang waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "This is the Eastern Territory. Nowadays, danger will break out in Liangzhou at any time. The figure of Longmen also appeared in the situation detected earlier, as well as the Holy Palace in Yanbei, which can be regarded as an old friend. , this time we plan to move our position and use Liangzhou as the gap. This may be a tough battle that is not inferior to Yanbei, so don’t be distracted!”
Li Fu opened his mouth slightly, smiled bitterly, and said nothing more.
At this time, a flying bird swooped down, falling from the clouds like an arrow.
Li Tiangang looked up, and then raised his hand. The swooping bird quickly stopped and landed on his forearm.
The bird's chest swelled, and a message rolled out from its beak.
"It's the eldest lady's Skylark."
Li Fu recognized the little bird demon that delivered the message. It was a battlefield messenger specially raised by the Shenjiang Mansion.
Li Tiangang took the letter and opened it, looked at it for a few times, and his expression changed slightly.
"Marshal, could it be that something happened in Qingzhou?" Li Fu couldn't help but ask.
Li Tiangang's face was gloomy, and he pinched the letter with his fingers, turning it into ashes.
"The second favor..."
Li Tiangang crushed the letter with his fingers and clenched it slightly into a fist.
He thought of the past in Yanbei, when he heard about Li Hao's inability to practice. He rushed out of the military formation alone, killed a three-immortal monster, and transported its precious blood back.
Now, that young man has sent the precious blood of the Nine Cauldron Demon King in return for the kindness he had received back then.
Does this count as a settlement?
Li Tiangang felt waves of emotions in his heart, whether it was discomfort or anger.
He could even picture the young man's cold eyes when he returned the demon king's precious blood.
In addition, the letter also mentioned that there were four demon kings who attacked Tianmen Pass. Fortunately, Tianji Tower and the second uncle came to add more people and drove away the demon kings.
With the four demon kings in such a formation, even though Li Tiangang was not at Tianmen Pass, he could still feel the danger there.
Regarding Tianjilou and his second uncle who came to help, he was relieved as expected, but also had some unspeakable complicated emotions.
He suddenly understood that that young man was famous all over the world, and even if he didn't have connections with the Li family, too many people would take him seriously.
To force it back by brute force alone, too many people would be an obstacle.
And these people will become the help for that child's stubbornness.
"Next, do you plan to guard the Tianmen Gate for three years and then cut it off?"
Li Tiangang murmured in his heart, with a coldness in his eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and returned his mind to the battlefield in Liangzhou.
He understood that the child was so stubborn and must be planning to go all the way to the end.
The previous battle in Qingzhou made the Li family famous all over the world, but it was an ugly name that was ridiculed. After all, there was a battle between father and son. Although most people denounced Li Hao and said he was unfilial, in the final analysis, it was still the Li family that they were talking about.
He won't let such a scandal happen again.
When the war in Liangzhou ends, or when the situation in the eastern border stabilizes, Li Tiangang plans to go to Tianmen Pass in person to drag the opponent back!
He didn't take that so-called agreement seriously, so there was no harm in breaking it.
He would not let Li Hao quit the Li family so easily.
…
…
Outside the Great Wall of Black Stone, thousands of miles away in a swamp.
The swamp stretches for hundreds of miles, with bubbling mud and occasionally bursting mud bubbles.
Waves of unpleasant stench came from the swamp. At this moment, the mud in the swamp suddenly stirred, and a huge figure extended from it. It was a dragon.
Its body is winding and coiled in the swamp, its scales are stained with mud, and its green eyes seem to contain strong poison.
"Did you detect it? Li Tiangang is indeed stationed in the east."
"To the west is the fifth son of the Li family, to the east is Li Tiangang. In Cangzhou, the traces of the eighth son of the Li family have been revealed."
"Then the two old guys from the Li family will still be in charge of Qingzhou."
A few appeared above the mire and swamp, all dressed in black robes, but the edges of the robes revealed the inner clothing, which was dark gold and extremely luxurious.
"Now, our people haven't moved to Liangzhou yet, but the news has already made the Li family frightened."
One of the figures in black robes laughed strangely. When speaking, he would occasionally spit out his forked tongue and lick his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.
Another black-robed figure next to him saw his subconscious behavior, frowned and said displeasedly: "Can you put away this disgusting habit of yours? I will transform into a dragon through the calamity and try my best to take off the dragon body. You still It’s disgusting to retain such snake nature.”
"That's you, I'm not planning to turn into a dragon, I'm gonna turn into a snake!"
The person from before said with a sinister smile.
What he said actually hid some thoughts, that is, not only would he become a big snake, he would also become a big snake that eats dragons!
"snort!"
When several people nearby heard this, they all snorted coldly, showing dissatisfaction with him.
"Are you here just to quarrel? Just say what you have to say. After that, I have to go back to sleep."
The mud dragon in the swamp said lazily.
"The elders have told you to summon some small ones from time to time to attack the Eastern Territory to contain Li Tiangang and stabilize him. Soon, the Holy Palace will take over this place."
"The Holy Palace and this Li Tiangang are old enemies. From Yanbei to here, they have said that they will skin and eat this Li Tiangang alive. This time, there is no help from the Sword Saint from Yanbei. Without the kindness of the Desert Sword Master, let’s see what Li Tiangang can do to stop him!”
"This desert land of Liangzhou has produced no heroes. Even if there are any heroes, they are either dead or have disappeared."
"Hmph, if I couldn't beat him, I would have wanted to cause trouble for Li Tiangang."
"Let's forget it. Although this brat Li Tiangang is not an older generation of the Li family, he is still at the peak of the Three Immortals. I heard in Yanbei that he killed more than a dozen of the Three Immortals in a row. It's very scary!"
"Fortunately, Lao Jiu of the Li family died in the battle in Cangzhou, otherwise our demon tribe would have another powerful enemy!"
"Let's stop chatting. We still have to go to the north to see."
"To the north, that side is bordering Youzhou. The Xia family is guarding that side. It's a bit tricky. We can't break through from there."
"Originally it was best to break through from the south, but I heard that Li Tiangang's son was there, and there were guards from the Four Realms around him, so we had to change the route."
As the figures in black robes spoke, they waved to the mud dragons in the swamp and flew towards the north.
"As for the Xia family, I heard that their relationship with the Li family is not very good. Let's test it out first to see if the Xia family will cross the border to help if there is an invasion in the north."
One of the black-robed figures said.
…
…
Tianmen Pass, Cangya City.
With the help of many warriors, Cangya City has been basically completed.
The old Xingxiu official from Si Tianjian took several of his students to build a magic circle here, and he was so busy that he was sweating.
Xia Xianglan was not as lively and playful as before, but followed her master quietly, helping him seriously, while also observing and learning seriously.
Only occasionally when she looked up, she would glance at the location in the city, but she could only see the outline of the small fenced courtyard.
Li Hao wrote to Ren Qianqian a divine refining method that he had integrated and modified. The level that this divine refining method can be practiced is close to that of the royal family.
The divine refining method that he has practiced and practiced in several disciplines can surpass the one of the royal family.
While Ren Qianqian was practicing in the camp, Li Hao took the Dragon Sky Sword, threw the little white fox on the mat in the courtyard, and then walked out of the pass alone.
The three demon kings have already escaped. I wonder if we can still encounter them in their lair.
Li Hao now urgently needs a demon king to practice his skills.
