Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 377 Emperor's Layout
"The war has begun."

Marshal Tianpeng stood outside the central army tent, looking at the empty sky and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Lin stood beside him, and inside the big tent behind the two of them was Nezha, who was buried in a bucket with half of his head exposed.

And there is the Peony Fairy standing next to Nezha, smiling peacefully, but no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is nothing human about her smile.

Doctors, especially experienced and powerful doctors, all have this problem to a certain extent. In their eyes, there are only patients. As for who the patient is or whether he is a man or a woman, they don't care at all.

Jiang Lin looked back at Nezha, and then curiously followed the gaze of Marshal Tianpeng and looked at the sky in front of him.

Well, nothing to see.

"Does the Grand Marshal think there's something wrong?"

Jiang Lin asked softly. Marshal Tianpeng's expression just now did not look like a good thing.

Marshal Tianpeng shook his head slightly and said, "In the demon clan meeting hall, there are eight great supernatural beings. The first elder sacrificed himself to awaken the Golden Crow. The third elder and the mad beast were killed by you and there is no chance of resurrection. Huaxian was injured by Heisha and Tianyou, and is not qualified to get involved in the battle of the great supernatural level at this moment."

"Among the remaining four great masters, only the Second Elder is a bit troublesome, but with Zhenwu fighting against him, he is only troublesome."

"But Xuanying, do you feel that this is a bit too fast?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin frowned.

too fast?
Yeah, it’s a bit fast indeed.

Jiang Lin looked at the battlefield below which was advancing steadily.

At this moment, the front army, the central army, and a part of the rear army have all been deployed to the battlefield. The result is that facing such a large force, the resistance of the demon clan is almost full of loopholes.

But the Ten Thousand Mountains are so huge that in order to protect their ancestral home, the demon clan also displayed great resilience.

Therefore, until now, we can only say that we have advanced to the middle stream of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it is still far away from the core location of the ancestral temple.

Of course, this is also related to the strategy of the Heavenly Court to boil the frog in warm water and cut the meat with a blunt knife.

And this is where the problem lies. Under this situation, it is obviously not yet time to make the powerful masters on both sides take action.

What the Heavenly Court is worried about is still the old saying: they are afraid that the powerful demons will become desperate and do something desperate.

What the powerful demons are worried about is that once the battle really starts, the powerful demons on their side will be completely crushed by the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, both sides have their own concerns, and a certain tacit understanding is formed.

But now, this tacit understanding has been broken ahead of time.

"Although it's a bit fast, the fighter is on our side. We would be foolish not to seize it."

Marshal Tianpeng said to himself.

The fuse that broke this tacit understanding was the sudden appearance of Kunpeng, who seemed to be "hunted down" by the sea of ​​stars.

When this demon master appeared, he looked quite embarrassed.

This scene naturally caused shock to the minds of the powerful demon clan members, and they lost the initiative.

It would be strange if the Heavenly Court didn't catch him.

"Although it's a little faster, we should be able to crush them with ease, right?"

Jiang Lin was thinking in his mind, but suddenly looked up and looked at another tent not far away. In this tent, he sensed the aura of General Heisha and Deputy Marshal Tianyou.

In other words, these two big guys did not take any action. Among the Four Saints of the North Pole, only the Great Emperor Zhenwu was fighting with the powerful demons at this moment.

Why is this?

Jiang Lin was a little confused.

Currently, the only powerful people in Heaven here, besides the Four Saints of the North Pole, are two of the Nine Emperors.

So, if there were no new reinforcements that Jiang Lin didn't know about, the current battlefield for the powerful masters would be three against four?
"There is no need to crush them with overwhelming force. It is enough to suppress them and give the few powerful masters of the demon race some hope."

Marshal Tianpeng smiled slightly and said, "We must not miss this opportunity, but you don't really think that the Emperor will make such a big mistake and let the immortal Kunpeng have a chance to wander around here, right?"

Did Kunpeng do it on purpose?

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted.

Kunpeng's appearance here seems to indicate that he is being hunted by the Emperor's Sea of ​​Stars, but it would be strange if the Emperor really neglected to allow Kunpeng the opportunity to wander around here.

So, can we infer that Kunpeng wants the powerful masters on both sides of the battlefield to fight each other?

And for some purpose, the Emperor took advantage of the situation and helped the Heavenly Court gain the upper hand. At the same time, he raised the intensity of the battlefield to the level of those with great supernatural powers, but not too high?
“Timing, timing is important.”

Marshal Tianpeng still looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "You are right. It is four against three now. I hope those monsters can hold on for a while."

"If that person really gets excited about killing, these four demons will have a hard time holding back. Tsk... I hope we can hold out for a while longer."

what?
Jiang Lin blinked. Although he knew that his own Heavenly Court was still implementing the strategy of boiling a frog in warm water, he was also following the Emperor's suggestion of "fighting, but not too hard."

But the question is, when it's four against three, why is Marshal Tianpeng more worried that the four powerful masters of the demon clan can't hold on?

"It's actually nothing."

Marshal Tianpeng noticed that Jiang Lin looked strange, and said helplessly: "Two of the Nine Emperors are here, you know that."

"In addition to Zhenwu, there is another person on the battlefield right now, the Jiutian Fangchao Zhenjun among the Jiuchen Great Emperors. This great god's name is the highest level of the position of Jiutian Fangchaoshi that is held in some clergy."

"In a sense, all the gods and immortals with the words 'Nine Heavens Interview' in their titles are considered subordinates of this True Lord."

Jiang Lin nodded slowly.

Understood.

This great god is considered the boss among the censors in Heaven, but Heaven does not have a department like the Censorate, so the censors usually hold a part-time position. As long as they have this divine position, they are considered subordinates of the Lord of the Nine Heavens.

Among the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao, the Nine-Sky Interviewing True Lord ranks last. Of course, this does not mean that this great god is a loser, but that the previous eight are stronger.

Let’s put it this way, the first of the nine great supernatural powers, Emperor Jiuchen of Shenxiao, is Emperor Changsheng, one of the Four Imperial Gods…

"Who is the other one?"

Jiang Lin became more and more curious. It was obvious that what Marshal Tianpeng was "worried" about just now was another great god here, who was ranked among the Great Emperors of Shenxiao Jiuchen.

"He is the head of the Thunder Department, whose divine name is Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun."

Marshal Tianpeng looked a little strange.

Jiang Lin blinked silently.

Well... that's okay.

If it's this big guy, he really has to hold back.

Among the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao, the first one, Emperor Changsheng, is just a figurehead, and generally no one would count this Four Emperors among the Nine Emperors.

The second-ranked Dongji Qinghua Emperor, also known as Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, is the real number one among the Nine Emperors.

The third person who follows closely is the Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun.

"Have you... communicated with this great god?"

Jiang Lin asked Marshal Tianpeng with some curiosity.

The head of the Thunder Department, Shenxiao Yushu, is the real person in charge besides the titular Emperor Changsheng.

Judging from his position, you can tell that this guy really enjoys fighting.

Jiang Lin didn't believe that they had never fought in private.

"Well...each has its own wins and losses, each has its own wins and losses."

Marshal Tianpeng touched his nose, coughed lightly and said.

That means you lose more than you win.

Jiang Lin understood the hidden meaning behind Marshal Tianpeng's words.

Although it was definitely a brief fight, taking Marshal Tianpeng as a benchmark, we can also see the strength of this leader of the Thunder Department.

Yes, Marshal Tianpeng is the number one god of war in Heaven today, but that doesn’t mean he is the most capable fighter in Heaven. It can only be said that he is the most capable fighter among the current generals in Heaven.

In terms of status in the heavenly court, Shenxiao Yushu is on par with the Beiji Exorcism Institute.

This is why the real leader of Shenxiao Yushu is Changsheng Emperor, because it is essentially the product of the Four Emperors' establishment of the government. Just like Ziwei Emperor basically does not care about the North Pole Exorcism Court, Changsheng Emperor has basically never taken care of Shenxiao Yushu.

By this calculation, Marshal Tianpeng is actually on the same level as Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun. Both are deputies in name but the real boss.

But the problem is, this Heavenly Venerable attained enlightenment earlier than Marshal Tianpeng, so it is normal that he cannot defeat him. Of course, the gap between them is definitely not exaggerated.

Those with great supernatural powers are also divided into levels, and Marshal Tianpeng and Jiutianyingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun should be the strongest among the Four Imperial Gods. But in this level, there is a gap between ninety-nine points and ninety-eight point nine points.

"The Emperor's plan..."

After understanding all this, Jiang Lin's focus once again shifted to why the battle between the powerful masters was triggered ahead of time.

Why is the Emperor delaying?
"Since it has already begun, why not take advantage of this opportunity to wipe it out in one fell swoop?"

Jiang Lin was a little confused. If they could achieve a quick victory, it was not unacceptable for the Heavenly Court to pay some price. Of course, if they just wanted to be safe, it did make sense.

But Jiang Lin always felt that the Emperor's vision could not be so narrow.

Hearing this, Marshal Tianpeng looked towards the deepest part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains with a smile on his face, and said, "We must give His Majesty the Golden Crow some time so that he can ascend to the realm of the Great Divine Power."

Has Buddhism started to take action?
Jiang Lin frowned.

Jinwu's dilemma lies in the inability to digest the extremely yang energy, but since Marshal Tianpeng said so, there is only one possibility left.

That is, Buddhism has given some help to Jinwu, allowing His Highness Jinwu to become a true demon emperor.

The first step is to master or awaken the great power of the great master level.

"So we're just going to watch now?"

Jiang Lin scratched his head, feeling a little unsure.

"Don't worry, there are some things I can't tell you right now."

Marshal Tianpeng patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder with a smile, and then said: "You are very important in the next layout."

Jiang Lin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Just tell me, how many more are you going to cut?"

There are still four powerful demons who are intact. As long as they are suppressed to the point where Jiang Lin can break their defense, they can be killed with just four strikes at most.

"Go, you are so young, why do you talk about fighting and killing as soon as you open your mouth? Can you learn from someone and be more elegant?"

Marshal Tianpeng said something that he himself was not willing to believe. In Jiang Lin's constipated eyes, he glanced at the sky and said, "Whether it is this fight or the awakening of the Golden Crow, it will not happen overnight."

"In that case..."

"Xuanying, come here."

Marshal Tianpeng seemed to be calculating something, and after a moment he waved at Jiang Lin with a smile.

Jiang Lin was a little hesitant. He tasted something unpleasant in the smile of Marshal Tianpeng.

But, since the boss had spoken, he couldn't refuse, so he carefully moved forward step by step.

Then, the collar was lifted up.

After rebuilding his Dharma body, Jiang Lin's bones also grew. He is now about 1.8 meters tall, but in front of Marshal Tianpeng, he is still no different from a little chicken.

"Yes, it's this direction."

Marshal Tianpeng lifted Jiang Lin up and then weighed his arm.

Jiang Lin felt increasingly uneasy, and said anxiously, "Why do you have to do this when you want me to do something?"

"Ah."

Marshal Tianpeng responded vaguely, then slowly raised his hand and took Jiang Lin with him.

"No... Could you please be gentler?"

Jiang Lin had a crying face, his heart full of confusion and fear.

The former is because I really wonder what this is asking me to do, and the latter...it's nothing, just the sequelae.

"Go away!"

Marshal Tianpeng exerted force with his arms.

'Snapped! '

As soon as he let go, a funnel-shaped cloud of mist began to ripple around Jiang Lin.

Then Jiang Lin turned into light...

…………

The Three Realms are so vast that the war in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Northern Jambu Continent did not cause any ripples at all to Laojun Mountain within the Zhou Kingdom of Southern Jambu Continent.

Halfway up Laojun Mountain, there is a huge arena.

And on this stage, two younger generation disciples of the Taoist lineage were fighting each other.

I saw the extremely skilled magic spells blooming with power and the dazzling flying swords swaggering up.

'boom! ’

The two sides collided, raising dust and shock waves, which even made the geniuses watching the battle around them shine.

"As expected of you, you are the leader of the Quanzhen Longmen and Chunyang sects of the current era. Your sword-flying skills and Longmen true methods are truly astonishing."

"Yes, this battle should be the strongest one in the past few days."

"Brother Daoist, you are wrong. The battle between the contemporary Heavenly Master's personal disciple and the Taoist from Mount Mao the other day was no worse than this one."

"makes sense."

While the geniuses were discussing, the two on the stage also retracted their magic power, looked at each other, smiled and bowed.

'laugh! ! '

Just when everyone was saying hello, suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the sky. The light was flame-like, but there was a bit of darkness inside.

“Is this a shooting star?”

"It doesn't look like it. Could it be some real person's escape method?"

"But judging from the situation, it's obvious that they are heading for Laojun Mountain, and they haven't stopped even when they are close to it!"

"It can't be an enemy attack."

“Hahahaha! Even if it’s an enemy attack, not to mention the Taoist priests in Laojun Mountain, the mountain protection ban that has been passed down for countless generations in Laojun Mountain alone cannot be broken by ordinary cultivators.”

Faced with the sudden and strange stream of light that was obviously directed towards Laojun Mountain, many geniuses did not panic at all.

"Look!"

And at this moment, a scene that stunned many geniuses appeared.

I saw that the divine light was about to touch the protective barrier of Laojun Mountain, and a fierce collision should have followed.

However, the mountain protection restriction was spiritual, and after sensing the energy within the flowing light, it actually opened a big hole!

Many geniuses were unable to react in time, and when they came to their senses...

'boom! ! ! ’

Most of the arena collapsed, and the two geniuses on the stage were thrown more than two miles away by the aftermath of the shockwaves.

All the geniuses were dumbfounded, but did nothing.

Although surprised, there was no fool present. It would be strange if the Taoists were not alarmed by such a big commotion.

And since the Taoists did not show up, and the reaction of the Laojun Mountain's protective ban, it proves that the existence within the stream of light is a friend, not an enemy.

"Cough cough..."

Accompanied by a cough, a Taoist priest in black walked out from the smoke and dust.

The Taoist looked a little confused. After looking around, he couldn't help but smacking his lips.

"Is this... coming to me to throw at Laojun Mountain?"
