The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 330 327: Phase , Accountability
In one day, the human race first experienced a great victory, and then suffered a great defeat, which truly embodied the eight words "the battlefield is dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable".

The mood of the top leaders of the All Living Beings Alliance was like a roller coaster, up and down.

However, except for Qin Huizhi, they have also experienced countless ups and downs and have good psychological qualities.

After calming down, various contacts, arrangements, and orders were issued one after another.

As a result, they understood a little more about the situation on the battlefield.

It should be said that the defeat of the Left Route Army was really not due to war.

The damage caused by the Red Lotus Society and the Xuan Yue Sect cut off the transmission of orders from the command center, so that the Ghost Immortal Hong Ling seized the opportunity and pushed them over in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, although the ghost fairy Hong Ling was following behind and chasing him, he was not in a hurry. He even behaved very cautiously, as if he was afraid of something.

At the beginning, the top leaders of the All Living Beings Alliance had not yet reacted and always felt that the other party had some ulterior motive, but later they gradually came to their senses.

The ghost fairy Hong Ling was also afraid. He was afraid that this was a trap set by humans.

Look at the previous Ghost Immortal Bahuang. He was impulsive and kept chasing and killing, and ended up with his ghost dead and his soul scattered.

He naturally had to be careful because he thought the past was a lesson for the future.

However, it was Hong Ling's cautiousness that gave the human race an opportunity.

First, the human leaders rebuilt the command system and took over the army. Then they arranged some troops and gathered various magical instruments, talismans and Yaoyang gold to stop the enemy.

Although these people who were guarding the rear were almost certain to die, they also bought time for the fleeing army.

However, after discussion, the human command did not choose to rebuild the defense line.

That is already impossible. Not to mention that there is not enough time, even if there is enough time, it is impossible to mobilize so many soldiers and supplies at this stage.

So, they executed the backup plan!
Before the war, the human race built many large and small ghost-proof fortresses on the vast land.

These places that previously served as transportation points now play their role.

The defeated army broke up into small teams consisting of warriors, immortal cultivators, and soldiers, and dispersed into these ghost-proof fortresses.

They are like nails, firmly nailed to this land. Even if the ghosts occupy this land, they will have to face endless harassment.

This should be considered a blessing in disguise. The human race was defeated, but not completely!

However, a single move can affect the entire body, and the defeat here ultimately affected the overall situation.

First, the central army, Donghuang and Baidi received the news and chose to abandon their defense line without hesitation.

They had no choice but to give up. The left army was in retreat, and the ghosts only needed to make a slight detour to cut off the supply line behind the army.

They could even attack the army directly from the rear, attacking it from both front and back.

Therefore, the Dongtian human race simply gave up their defense line and entered the defensive stage.

At this moment, all the arrangements they made on the Rising Sun Plains came in handy, and almost everyone, male, female, young or old, entered the underground ghost-fighting fortress.

That's right, they brought the war directly to the Rising Sun Plains and began to rely on the familiar terrain to eliminate the enemy on the move.

They fought in street battles, tunnel battles, or concentrated superior forces to eliminate the enemy locally.

Plus they have the help of Rising Sun Ghost Town.

Those ghost messengers who can arrive from the netherworld at any time, after receiving incense and offerings, are much better at dealing with these evil ghosts than humans.

They directly dragged the ghost tribe into the vast ocean of people's war.

From this perspective, the Dongtian human race is far more extreme and more determined than the three major dynasties!

As for the right-wing army, Zuo Qiutong made the same choice - retreat, deploy troops, and give up a large area of ​​territory.

The only difference is that he is calmer and more comfortable.

Although the Red-tailed Ghost Immortal also followed closely, he had absolutely no intention of fighting to the death. He was even unwilling to provoke the human army at that moment, which was like releasing water into the sea.

However, no matter how calm they were, they could not deny the fact that they had lost cities and territories.

Moreover, as time went by, the ghost army continued to advance, and those that ran fastest had already begun to touch the eastern defense line of the Dayun Dynasty.

Although the main force was blocked outside, the infiltration of a small group of ghosts was already an established fact.

Then, almost overnight, the number of villages, towns and cities plagued by ghosts in the Dayun Dynasty increased.

Ordinary mortals are like lambs to be slaughtered when facing ghosts, and only the large and small sects in various places have some ability to resist.

But the ghosts come and go without a trace, so it is not so easy to find their whereabouts.

At this point, the war between humans and ghosts has officially entered the second stage.

The strategy of "keeping the enemy out of the country" has completely failed. Now the only thing we can do is "kill the enemy within the country"!
However, seriously speaking, this is no longer a simple war between two races, but also involves the sea race over there and the army of the demon country in the west.

Outside Tanggula Mountain.

The army of the Demon Kingdom under the command of Tiger Vanguard and the army of the Great Yan Dynasty have been fighting many battles.

The demon clan showed great strength, especially when they were able to command various spirit beasts to charge into battle formations, leaving chaos wherever they passed.

However, after the human race took out the Divine Cannon and the Divine Hundred Refined Crossbow, the demon race became timid and no longer aggressive.

At the beginning, the human race was also a little confused, but as the fight went on, they found a pattern.

On the demon clan side, the main thing is that there are not many mature monsters, which requires time to settle down, and the little monsters below have limited abilities.

Therefore, the Tiger Vanguards provided them with adequate protection, basically just providing assistance and retreating immediately if there was any danger.

On the contrary, it was Hu Xianfeng who dared to fight and fought hard, relying on his cultivation and supernatural powers, and bullied the masters of Jixia Academy.

However, he didn't really kill him!

After a long time, the human race also figured out some of the flavor.

The Mountain King Demon Kingdom does not seem to want to fight to the death with the human race. It does not want to win, nor does it want to lose. It just wants to maintain the status quo.

As for the sea people, it’s a different situation!
They wanted to fight with all their might, but most of the sea creatures could not stay away from the sea, at least not for a long time.

As for those sea beasts, except for a few species, such as giant squid and emperor crab, the others simply cannot leave the sea.

Moreover, even if they manage to escape, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the sea people can only constantly manipulate the sea water, forming tides, raising the sea level and flooding the earth.

The effect is there and it always works, but the speed is a bit slow.

Actually, this is no different from Zhou Juetian's invasion from the underworld.

It was also at this time that news about the extraterritorial demon finally spread among all major forces and sects through the Alliance of All Living Beings.

It turns out that the rebellion of the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Xuan Yue Sect was not due to their subjective will, but was manipulated.

Since the day they learned magic skills, they have been planted with the seeds of magic.

Also spreading, of course, were information about the various characteristics, methods, and ways to check and restrain the extraterritorial demons.

The first thing almost all sects do is to examine themselves and find out those evil ones.

However, although there was some effect, no real big fish was caught.

At this point, the situation of the human race has collapsed, at least ten times worse than before. All dynasties, sects, and major forces have felt the huge crisis.

At this time, some people could no longer sit still.

……

The fantasy world,

In the Round Table Hall, all the high-level members of the All Living Beings Alliance, with fifteen seats, gathered again. The only difference was that this time there were not only fifteen people sitting there, but also four seats from the Xuanzhen Palace, and Xu Cheng and the other four were all there.

"Where is Palace Master Chu? Our meaning is very clear. We hope that Palace Master Chu will come forward!"

The one who spoke this time was Princess Murong Yan of Dayan. During this period, the pressure on Dayan increased sharply.

Although the ghost disaster has not spread to them yet, the main forces of the demon clan and the sea clan are all in the Dayan Dynasty, so the country is unstable and resources are being consumed in huge quantities, but there is no hope in sight.

At this moment, she spoke with some anger, even questioning.

Xu Cheng's eyes were still gentle: "My senior brother is in seclusion, so you can't disturb him."

"You are in a very urgent situation, why are you still in seclusion?
Palace Master Xu, Second Master Xu, it's not that we don't trust you, but given the current situation, don't you think Palace Master Chu has to step in?"

Yi Huai didn't have such a good temper, and said directly: "I said retreat, retreat, don't you understand?

Besides, what if my senior brother doesn't show up?"

"This world does not belong to my Xuanzhen Palace, but to you.

You can't even protect your own home, and you are just here talking nonsense, what's the point?"

Murong Yan's momentum weakened for a moment, but it only lasted for a moment, and she shouted again: "Then why did you hide the matter of the extraterritorial demon?

If you had told us earlier, we would have been prepared, and it wouldn't have developed to this point."

"You Xuanzhen Palace, you, you are the sinners of the human race!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed. Even someone as gentle as Xu Cheng had eyes as sharp as a knife at this moment.

Wei Fangjie stood up and said almost word by word: "Murong Yan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.

If you dare to speak nonsense again, the Murong family of Dayan Dynasty will have to pay the price for it. My Xuanzhen Palace will keep its word!"

Murong Yan's face turned pale instantly. She opened her mouth to say something, but after stammering a few times, no sound came out!

However, the rotating leader Tuoba Renxian immediately took over the conversation and said, "Fifth Palace Master, Fifth Master, it's not that serious, it's really not that serious!

The princess is also worried about the future of our race, so she said something she shouldn't have said. I hope you can forgive her."

The words were addressed to Wei Fangjie, but Tuoba Renxian looked at Xu Cheng with a pleading look on his face.

Xu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Junior brother, sit down!"

"Second Brother, they^"

"I said sit down!"

Wei Fangjie sat down angrily, glanced at Murong Yan with cold eyes.

Murong Yan turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Seeing that the situation had eased, Tuoba Renxian said, "I know that Xuanzhen Palace did not report the matter of the extraterritorial demon, so they must have their own considerations.

However, now that it has come to this, we must speak out so that everyone can understand and avoid any misunderstandings."

In fact, he and Murong Yan are just one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop. If you ask the right questions, then both of them are equally important.

Xu Cheng had nothing to hide, so he said directly: "You should have some understanding of the extraterritorial demons, and my Xuanzhen Palace has also come up with some identification methods.

But so far, which big fish has been caught? Or, which powerful demon has really been discovered? "

"The demons from outside the domain are treacherous and their methods are cunning. You can't solve them just by knowing about them."

"Even now, I can't guarantee that everyone here is okay! Or maybe there is a problem, but you don't even know it."

"This is the method of the Heavenly Demon. Since it is impossible to defend against it, it is better not to trigger it and cause panic among the people."

"As for the inaction of my Xuanzhen Palace?"

At this point, Xu Cheng looked at Princess Murong Yan again and said, "When the demons came out of the mountains and the sea tribes invaded, we guessed that there was an extraterritorial demon behind it.

Therefore, even though the plan to move the mountain was not fully prepared, we started it without hesitation, lured the enemy deep into our territory, and then used many methods to refine the Ghost Immortal Eight Desolations. "

"You are just providing manpower and effort, but my Xuanzhen Palace will directly take the field. The four of us will fight on the front line, risking our lives with that ghost fairy.

"There are hundreds of disciples who have been killed in the Xuanzhen Palace."

"Can't you see these?"

Xu Cheng's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, like a dragon's roar.

After hearing this, the people present thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed true.

At this time, Fan Tiehu said: "Everyone can think about it carefully. If the mountain moving plan had not been completed, if Ghost Immortal Bahuang had not died, if there had not been this battle to boost morale.

To what extent do you think the situation will collapse now? "

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became even quieter, and everyone's faces looked even uglier.

They held this meeting in a rage and wanted to hold the other party accountable, but when the time came, they realized that the other party had done far more than they had.

This feeling is really not good!

At this moment, Tuoba Renxian spoke again: "Second Palace Master, we understand what you said, but we are a little worried that Palace Master Chu has not shown up for such a long time.

You know, Palace Master Chu is our pillar of support. Without him, we really can't feel at ease."

"If this is the case, can you help contact the Master and ask him to show up? Just showing up will be enough to put everyone at ease, okay?"

Xu Cheng was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Everyone, I know what you are worried about, and I understand.

But, even though I understand, I can’t do this!”

“There are some things I said here today, please listen to them and don’t spread them to others.

Otherwise, if those extraterritorial demons get to know about this, it will ruin the great cause of our human race."

Having said this, Xu Cheng stopped again, looked around, and looked at everyone present.

After a moment, he continued: "I know that we lost this battle and everyone is very depressed and even worried about the future.

But what I want to say is that my senior brother doesn’t care about these things.”

"Even if the human race fell, resentful ghosts ran rampant, the sea tribe invaded, and the demon tribe came out of the mountains, my senior brother didn't care about these."

As he spoke, the entire venue was in an uproar. Everyone couldn't help but make a sound, and even their faces became extremely ugly.

But at this moment, at this moment, Xu Cheng raised his voice: "But this is not that my eldest brother does not care about human lives, does not care about the lives of millions of people, but this kind of war is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution."

"Even if we, the human race, can withstand the invasion of the ghost tribe, what will happen? Even if we can repel the army of the sea tribe, what will happen?"

“In fact, none of them can solve the problem of war!”

"And the reason why my senior brother is in seclusion and unwilling to come out is to find a solution."

"A way to resolve the dispute among the five worlds!"

"Everyone, are you satisfied knowing this?"

“But if the demons from outside the domain knew about this, they would probably use all sorts of means to destroy it. If there is any mistake, everything will be over!”

"Today, I have told you everything you want to know. I just hope that you won't regret hearing this."

"Okay, that's it!"

After they finished speaking, Xu Cheng and the other three turned into nothingness and disappeared. The people who were left behind looked at each other, knowing the 'truth', and they all felt a little regretful.
