The retreat lasted for nearly a month, and many people were sent away during this period.

Many people who failed to break through in time have exhausted their lifespan. For example, the original forest gods and earth gods at the foot of the mountain died of old age. After death, they turned into ghosts and continued to be gods.

Fortunately, most of them were living people and had a life after death. As for those who were ghosts before, like Xiong Ying, they were naturally dead.

The first generation leader of the Xiong tribe, Zhang Qi, passed away, and the second generation Xiong Ying also left with him.

The former at least saw each other for the last time, while the latter even died in retreat, without even leaving a word behind, and could only lament the impermanence of the world.

Some people leave this road, and some people make progress.

Zhang Wulang and Xiong Ba are the leaders among them. After entering Qi refining, their life span will be increased by three hundred years. In three hundred years, Chu State may become the overlord of a generation.

Zhuman of the underworld can become the leader of the underworld in this area.

"From the time I entered the underworld, it took a total of four hundred and sixty-nine years to finally conquer the underworld." Tang Ping only felt a full sense of accomplishment.

Compared with Tang Shenyu Renqing and others who spent decades to dominate, they are undoubtedly poor students for more than 400 years.

But Tang Ping is relatively stable. He spreads his entire force together, and once he dominates, he will be able to nail it down.

Unlike others who rely on themselves, their own aging and power decline along with it.

"Very good, Yu Renqing should be almost old, right? It's time to close the net."

Tang Ping walked out of the cave in high spirits.

What is this called?

Are you trying to survive?

This idiom does not seem to have appeared in this era. How can it be possible to endure hardships by lying on the firewood? That is impossible. Gods have always been invincible.

"This idiom... let Xiong Ying name it, and let it survive in people's memory in this way."

Tang Ping makes up stories when he is not practicing. If he says words that are not in line with the times, it is absolutely impossible to change his words and admit his mistakes. It is an allusion from hundreds of years ago. I am old and you don’t understand.

Tang Ping flew to Danyang, State of Chu.

At the foot of the mountain, there are four more counties.

Now there are eight counties in total.

The county god is held by the original old man, such as the original water god, forest god, etc.

The water pool will soon extend to this boundary, and then there will be a water god.

The eight counties have a population of about two million. This is the power of the county system. The population and resources are relatively concentrated, and the incense is also more concentrated. The county god is basically a wandering god.

These two million people can pull out a maximum of 200,000 troops.

Soon, we will arrive in Danyang.

After hundreds of years of operation, Danyang has become a super city with rich heritage.

People flow in and out from all directions, and the city witnesses the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time.

Tang Ping vaguely remembered what the town looked like when it was first established.

Chu Palace.

The King of Chu is actually the Viscount of Chu. He has always been king externally and uses the viscount system internally. If he really becomes the king, they will not be able to implement many systems for the time being, such as enfeoffing princes and so on.

The mountain behind the palace is outside the city, and there is a heavily guarded mountain.

The fire pool on the top of the mountain is constantly burning like a crater. If you look carefully, you can see figures bathing in the fire.

His breathing was like wind, and his muscles and bones moved like thunder.

The flames formed long dragons, flying in the sea of ​​fire and the sky.

The person who is practicing is Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba is a man of superb martial arts and superb martial arts.

Wow!

The ten-foot-tall flaming body jumped out of the sea of ​​fire, with two dragons under its feet, and its eyes were shining.

Quickly turning into a human form, Xiong Ba flew to Meishan.

Meishan Altar.

Zhang Wulang still looks like a young man, with blue eyes that seem to contain the truth of the universe, surrounded by hundreds of beasts and surrounded by ghosts and gods.

Whenever you visit the mountains, you must worship Zhang Wulang. His reputation is greater than that of the mountain god.

Tang Ping appeared out of thin air.

"Xiong Ba will be here soon."

Tang Ping said.

"Are we going to war?" Zhang Wulang asked.

"Yes, the Northern Expedition will annihilate the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop, seize the river mouth, and control the lower reaches of the Han River."

Now the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed.

After Wu Zhi's death, the only hope for a breakthrough in qi refining was gone. Yu Renqing had no successor. No matter whether it was the quantity or quality of qi refining, they could not compare with Chu State.

On the bright side of Chu State

Counting the feathered dragons of our country, they can't compete with Chu.

The only worry now is whether Jiang Feng from Jing State will take action.

The probability of Jiang Feng taking action is low. He has to guard against Chongguo and Huaiyi.

Furthermore, with five Qi refiners and an 800,000-strong army, he may not be able to attack with all his strength.

At this time, Xiong Ba also flew here.

Hearing Tang Ping's question, Xiong Ba said: "Don't worry about this. We are on good terms with Yongguo and often send envoys to build good relations. If we take action, if they see benefits, they will also send troops to regain their lost territory. Li Fang in the east

We have a feud with the Jing Kingdom. We sent Yuan Chi to communicate with us before..."

Yuan Chi's strategy is to make friends from far away and attack close by, and to make friends with countries with the same goals and no conflict of interests. Even if they cannot send troops and fulfill their promises of joint response, when Chu State is attacking cities and territories all the way, how can these people endure it?
p>

All in all, you still need to be hard-working to strike iron.

Chu State is confident that they will take action.

"Okay, let's get ready to fight."

…………

Two months later.

Jiangkou City.

The scenery in the city is different from Danyang.

Danyang is lively, with all kinds of people communicating on an equal footing. This place is more repressed and hierarchical. Some people look like slaves at first glance. They are in ragged clothes, with their heads lowered and dare not look directly. Some people are high-spirited and neatly dressed. These are all

Look, you are Chinese.

There was almost no market, and more of it was barter. Slaves and common people were not qualified to participate. All their output belonged to the lord, so how could they be qualified to sell things.

At this time, the army escorted a group of people out of the city. The warrior nobles at the head held their heads high and looked proud.

Most of the people with their hands tied were young adults, and there were dozens of babies held by soldiers.

There are thousands of them in total.

This is a great festival held once every three years.

Following the army to the back mountain, among the clouds on the top of the mountain, you can see the magnificent palace and the feathered men flying around.

There is an altar at the foot of the mountain.

The entire altar is made of white jade, with a small bronze sacred tree, sun pattern vessels and eye-shaped patterns on it.

There are figures of people and birds on both sides.

The altar is nine feet high, overlooking all living beings. On the altar is a long-eyed wizard holding a golden scepter and wearing a pure gold mask.

"Yi and Na Yu! Put me on the drum. Play the drum with simple bamboo slips, and support my great ancestors."

The sound of drums and ancient songs spread everywhere.

There are eight large sacrificial pits around the altar, where people are either buried alive, beheaded, or offered sacrifices voluntarily by nobles.

The human head is cooked in a cauldron, and the ghosts and gods eat the flesh and blood.

Mountain top, cloud.

The Bronze Palace embedded in the mountainside.

Blood seeped out from the bronze divine tree and gathered on the pattern of the bronze plate under the tree, growing from small to large, forming a river of blood.

The maid scooped out a ladle, poured it into Tong Jue, and offered this cup of "elixir of elixir" to a very old-looking Yuren old man with a white beard that reached his waist.

After taking the blood water, the old man's complexion became rosy and his cloudy eyes became brighter.

"Where's the Bi, Ao, Hou, Yu, tree?"

Yu Renqing frowned.

As his lifespan shortened, Yu Renqing also tried his best to create humans, causing harm to many good women. In addition to the original Yu Renbi, the next four were hybrids born after him, which could be regarded as stabilizing his rule.

Yu Renbi has not yet broken through in refining Qi, which makes Yu Renqing still anxious. Once he is gone, this foundation will be in vain.

At this time, a variegated feather man stumbled and flew over.
Chapter completed!
