Chapter 176: The Brave Lord, a Letter from My Sister Fortunately, Chen Xian practiced the [Turtle Breathing Technique] and had always hidden his strength, so others could not sense his true long as he doesn't burst out with all his strength and doesn't take the initiative to attack, he shouldn't be seen through by some people. "Holy Fire Qilin!" There was a flash of anger in Chen Xian's eyes. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely kill the latter. After stabilizing for another half an incense stick of time, he found that his cultivation strength had completely stabilized at the late Spirit Infant stage, and he sighed repeatedly in his heart. Looking at his soul body again, he also had a headache. Fortunately, they won a great victory in this battle and captured Cang Mingyun and his sister alive. They will be returning to the capital soon, and he can also concentrate on finding a secret method to repair his soul. [Martial arts: Diamond Dragon Ape Kung Fu (great success), Desolate Cauldron Sutra (entry), Desolate Ancient Body Refining Sutra (entry)...] [Experience: 35589 points] [Realm: One level of all things] 【Lifespan: 101 years】
After taking a closer look at the panel, Chen Xian sighed slightly. The panel shows that the realm has not declined, but the actual strength has declined to the late Spirit Infant stage. After putting away the panel, Chen Xian walked out of the cave with a knife in hand. He swept his spiritual eyes across and saw that the human army chasing the demon army was already approaching. He immediately leaped over and slashed at the demons. His cultivation aura weakened, and his combat power also weakened, but his physical combat power was still terrifying. With the blessing of the wild power, he could even burst out the double combat power of Tiangang. As long as he doesn't reveal too much of his aura, others won't be able to tell whether he is real or fake. Boom boom boom... Chen Xian swung his sword and killed the demons one after another. He followed the human army and chased demons for thousands of miles, but did not encounter the four White Tiger Demon Saints or Qi Yanfang. With the help of Lin Jingzhi and others, the three million demon army were soon killed or wounded. "Your Majesty, do you still want to chase and kill me?" Lin Jingzhi stood horizontally in the air, turned around and looked in the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Pass, asking Emperor Ning for instructions. "Let's retreat first!" Emperor Ning said weakly. "The army will withdraw to the Demon-Suppressing Pass!" After receiving the order, Lin Jingzhi did not chase after the remaining demons, but asked the five generals to return with the human soldiers. Chen Xian also returned with Tang Can, Pei Menglong and others. On the way back, he heard Wang Yan, Ding Chen and others calculating the number of demons they had killed, which was more than 300. He could be promoted to a higher rank, that is, Major General who Suppresses Demons. The number of demons killed by Ning Chen, Qin Fei and other three was around 300, and they could all be promoted by one level. …… The demon realm is thousands of miles long.
On the top of a misty mountain, the Holy Fire Qilin with a broken left arm had a ferocious look on his face. Soon, the four White Tiger Demon Saints appeared not far in front of him and saluted to the Holy Fire Qilin: "Greetings, Great Saint Qilin!" The Holy Fire Qilin ignored the four people. He was still thinking about Chen Xian. However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't figure out why Chen Xian, who was at the sixth level of the Minggang realm, could finally burst out with the strength of a powerful master in the supernatural power realm. Practicing for more than five hundred years is simply unheard of. After a while, a figure came quickly. It was Qi Yanfang. Seeing this person, the three White Tiger Demon Saints all looked unhappy. First of all, this person had been hiding his strength, and even though he exploded in the end, he was unable to save the Seventh Prince. "Master Qi, didn't you swear that you would be able to break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass in this battle? What was the result?" The White Tiger Demon Saint stepped forward, grabbed Qi Yanfang's collar and shouted. Qi Yanfang also looked ashamed: "My Lords, you all saw what happened today with your own eyes. Chen Xian was so scary when he went crazy that even Thunder Frog Great Sage couldn't block three sword strikes and was killed." "I've said before that if Chen Xian isn't eliminated, things will definitely go wrong. Sure enough, it came true. That bastard is our nemesis." Hearing this, the White Tiger Demon Saint angrily let go of Qi Yanfang. He also knew that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Qi Yanfang alone. No one expected that at the last moment, when they were about to break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass, an inconspicuous Tiangang realm among the human race would actually burst out with such terrifying combat power, not only killing the Thunder Frog Great Sage, but also cutting off the arm of the Holy Fire Qilin. Qi Yanfang took a deep breath and said, "The best thing to do now is to return to the court and ask other great saints to come and rescue His Highness." The four White Tiger Demon Saints snorted coldly when they heard this: "The people have been captured, how do you say we can rescue them?" Qi Yanfang also knew that there was no way to rescue them. "We can negotiate with Emperor Ning of the human race. As long as we can save the lives of the two princes, we won't lose our heads." The White Tiger Demon Saint sneered. They would not lose their heads no matter what. If anyone had to lose a head, it would be you, Qi Yanfang. Millions of troops attacked the Demon-Suppressing Pass. Now the Demon Lords, Demon Emperors, and Demon Kings have all been slaughtered, and those below the Demon Lords have also been killed or wounded. Less than 300,000 demons have escaped. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out. When he returns to the dynasty, the Demon Emperor will surely be extremely furious. "Go back and tell it yourself." said the White Tiger Demon Saint angrily. Qi Yanfang's face looked a little grim: "Master Tiger Saint, I'm slow, and I'm afraid it will take time to go back and forth..." "I will go back." Without waiting for him to finish his words, Holy Fire Qilin said coldly. He was seriously injured and had a broken arm, so he didn't want to stay here. As for the revenge for the broken arm, he could only wait until he recovered and then look for Chen Xian to take revenge. "Thank you, Great Sage Qilin!" Qi Yanfang bowed quickly. Holy Fire Qilin looked towards the north with cold eyes, staring at the Demon Suppression Pass: "Chen Xian, if we meet again, I will kill you!" After he finished speaking, he didn't stop and jumped away.
Seeing this, the White Tiger Demon Saint and others began to gather the demons who had escaped back, and set up camp in the valley, waiting for other great demon saints to come. …… On the way back. Chen Xian and others were cleaning up the corpses of the monsters while clearing the bodies of the soldiers who suppressed the monsters. Although they were chasing the demon army all the way, many human soldiers who were suppressing demons were attacked by the demons before they died, and some of them were sacrificed. "General Chen, I will call you the Marquis of Divine Bravery from now on!" Tang Can said with a smile. "Don't shout, His Majesty hasn't spoken yet." Chen Xian said. Pei Menglong also said: "His Majesty has already said before the pass that if you capture Cang Mingyun and his sister alive, you will be granted the title of Marquis of Divine Bravery." Chen Xian said: "Even if it is, it is just an honorary title." Yan Cheng shook his head: "It is not only an honorary title, but also your status among the nobles. From now on, whether the general has real power or not, they are all marquises of divine bravery, and local officials must salute respectfully when they see them." Tang Can asked, "General Chen, after this battle, do you plan to continue to stay at the Demon Suppression Pass, or go back to take up another position?" With Chen Xian's military achievements, he could command a military camp if he stayed in Zhenyao Pass. If he returned to the court, Emperor Ning would not let Chen Xian sit there doing nothing, as that would be a waste of talent. "I'm planning to go back." Chen Xian said lightly. "Where do you want to work?" Tang Can asked. "I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Xian shook his head. Pei Menglong said: "There are many places suitable for the general, such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Demon Suppression Department, the Demon Suppression Department, the City Defense Department, local officials, etc." Chen Xian smiled. He really hadn’t thought it through yet. After all, the battle had just ended and he didn’t know how Emperor Ning would make arrangements. Noon time. The five hundred thousand strong army returned to the Demon-Suppressing Pass with the corpses of the demons and the corpses of the soldiers who suppressed the demons. The powerful man from Wanxiang Realm and Chen Xian were asked to leave. Marshal's Mansion. Emperor Ning swallowed the healing pill and looked much better. The third prince Ning Yang was always by his side, and there were three young eunuchs taking care of him. When Chen Xian arrived with Xiahou Yu and others, Emperor Ning had already had the banquet prepared. "My dear ministers, please take a seat." Emperor Ning said with a slight smile. Although he was seriously injured this time when he came to Zhenyao Pass, he was still very happy in his heart. Capturing Cang Mingyun and his sister was equivalent to a ten-year truce with the demon clan. Ten years will allow Daning's national strength to recover. Lin Jingzhi, Cai Mingshan, Pang Wenling and others took their seats. Chen Xian took a look and sat at the back.
"Chen Xian!" "The general is here!" Chen Xian stood up again just after sitting down. Emperor Ning looked at him with a smile and said, "Young hero, you are invincible. My words are trustworthy. From today on, I will confer upon you the title of Marquis of Divine Bravery of the Great Ning Dynasty, with an estate of 100,000 households and 100,000 taels of gold." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xian quickly clasped his fists and saluted. Emperor Ning smiled and nodded, "You are still unmarried, right?" Chen Xian raised his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am still young and unmarried." Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Okay, okay, there is really no need to rush about this matter. I will help you find a dignified and virtuous wife." Chen Xian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please worry about me." "sit down." Emperor Ning waved his hand. Chen Xian bowed and sat down. "Let the banquet begin!" As Emperor Ning spoke, the lunch began. Xiahou Yu and others first paid their respects to Emperor Ning, and then congratulated Chen Xian on his promotion to Marquis of Divine Bravery. Although his status and position were far inferior to theirs, Chen Xian was still young and his future was unpredictable. Now is a good time to make friends. Only Pang Wenling did not congratulate Chen Xian. In his heart, he wished that Chen Xian would die. Sitting alone at the dining table drinking wine. Xiahou Yu told Chen Xian that His Majesty had only given a verbal reward now, and when he returned to the palace, documents would be distributed to all regions of Daning, and then the work would continue. There are also rewards and the need to build a marquisate. It will take at least half a year in total, so he doesn't need to be impatient. Chen Xian nodded secretly. After lunch, he followed Xiahou Yu back to the Five Armies to Suppress Demons. There are 100,000 demon-suppressing soldiers in the Five Demon-suppressing Armies, and more than 30,000 new recruits. The new recruits rarely saw combat, and there were almost no casualties. There are more than 100,000 demon-suppressing soldiers, including more than 13,000 and 87,000. Xiahou Yu began to order Zhang Chunyuan, Hua Tianqi, Bao Guanlong and Chen Xian to count each person's military achievements. Those who kill more than a hundred demons will be promoted one level, and those who kill more than a thousand demons will be promoted three levels. The rest were each rewarded. Chen Xian quickly counted the situation of more than 20,000 demon-suppressing soldiers under his command. There were only three people who actually killed more than a thousand demons: Tang Can, Yan Cheng, and Pei Menglong.
Tong Linsheng, Wang Chanming, Wu Enhou, Cheng Feng and others did not kill a thousand demons, but they still killed seven or eight hundred. There were quite a few people who killed over a hundred demons, including Pei Gang, Zhang Han, Zhao Haichuan, Ning Chen, Wang Yan, Qin Fei, Xue Qishan, Luo Ying, Zhang Ying, Li Han, Li Fei, etc., a total of thirty-nine people. Chen Xian was extremely surprised. You know, there were 300,000 demons in the Blood River Forest, Tiger Head Mountain and Black Wind Stream, and he killed 150,000 of them alone. The remaining 150,000 were killed by only more than 20,000 people, three people killed more than a thousand monsters, and thirty-nine people killed more than a hundred monsters. The record was already amazing. But later they helped other camps kill monsters and accumulated some knowledge. "Tell everyone not to make false or misleading reports. We will deal with them severely if found out." Chen Xian repeatedly reminded Tang Can and the other two. Half an hour later, the three gave Chen Xian accurate information. No one made any false reports, all of them were real battle records. Chen Xian then submitted the reported battle statistics to Xiahou Yu. After seeing this, Xiahou Yu was also a little surprised. Of the five million demon army, only three hundred thousand died and escaped. In fact, at the last moment, these demons were attacked by strong men from the Wanxiang Realm and Tiangang Realm, who killed them indiscriminately, and killed them in large numbers. Although the demon-suppressing soldiers killed many demons, there were not many who could kill more than a hundred demons. However, there were thirty-nine people under Chen Xian's command who killed more than a hundred demons, which was twice as many as the other camps. "Are you sure no one made a false report?" Xiahou Yu looked up at Chen Xian. Chen Xian said: "General Xiahou, rest assured, my soldiers will never do such a false thing. Besides, there are people supervising us, so there will be no false data." Xiahou Yu nodded secretly, his eyes fell on Ning Chen's name: "Three hundred and nineteen, the Ninth Prince is fine!" Chen Xian smiled and nodded: "You can promote him to Major General of Demon Suppression." Xiahou Yu said: "They will all be promoted." "But there is no need to rush this matter. The war has just ended. Let His Majesty take a breath. He will personally award the reward." Chen Xian asked: "General Xiahou, shall we go back to our previous camp?" Xiahou Yu shook his head: "The demon camps have all been destroyed, so they are not needed for the time being." Chen Xian said: "Many of my soldiers have sacrificed their lives to suppress demons. I plan to take them with me to see them off." Xiahou Yu looked up at Chen Xian and said, "We can't let the heroic spirit down. I support you. Go ahead." Next. Chen Xian, with Tang Can, Yan Cheng, Pei Menglong and more than 20,000 people, brought the bodies of the sacrificed demon-suppressing soldiers to that valley. Because there were still more than a thousand bodies in the valley, after collecting the remains, they carried out the cremation together. "Since the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is the ghost!" “May the brothers who have passed away rest in peace!” Chen Xian asked people to sprinkle wine around the sparks to comfort the heroic souls who had sacrificed. It was not until the evening that everyone returned to the camp in front of the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
In a blink of an eye, it’s May 20th. Chen Xian has never practiced because he didn't dare to practice for fear that his soul body would collapse. He did not practice the [Huang Ding Sutra], but was studying the [Xuan Gui Secret Scroll]. Before, he had never thought that this fragment of the scroll could suppress magic power. After the last attempt, there was an additional kind of energy in his jade sea, which was the green energy cultivated through the formula of the remaining scroll of [Black Turtle Secret Scroll]. It was refreshing and cool, and could not only refresh the mind, but also calm the mind, and even enhance a person's energy. On the third day after the battle, no one from the demon side has arrived yet. Emperor Ning has not yet issued any rewards to all the soldiers who suppress demons. However, April's salary, training resources, and letters from home were transported out from the Demon-Suppressing Pass and distributed to three military camps. It should have been distributed in mid-May, but Emperor Ning suddenly came to Zhenyao Pass and the matter was put on hold. Then the war began and lasted until the 17th. After a few days of rest, salaries and training resources were distributed. "General, your letter from home!" Mu Feng smiled and handed Chen Xian a letter from home. Chen Xian held the letter in his hand, and was actually looking forward to the contents of the letter. However, when his eyes fell on the envelope, he couldn't help but frown. "From my brother Chen Xian!" Since coming to this world, he has received five or six letters from home, all of which were written by his childhood sweetheart Cai Yujiao, whom he had never met. How come it turned out to be his younger sister Chen Rong this time? My younger sister Chen Rong’s handwriting is very bad, just like chicken chop. I can’t say I’m impressed at first glance, but I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But Chen Xian had a bad feeling and quickly opened the envelope. Brother, I see you in person: Brother, when will you win this battle? When can you come back? My sister misses you very much. Sister Yujiao was taken away by Uncle Cai. When she left, she cried loudly and shouted that she would wait for you to come back. But Uncle Cai was very fierce. He had Sister Yujiao taken away and said that you, a poor soldier, were not worthy of Sister Yujiao. Sister Yujiao didn't mind that you were poor, but Uncle Cai would never agree to you being together. I don’t know how Sister Yujiao is doing now. She must be very sad. The money you sent back to my family has been received, but... it's too little! It's not enough to pay them protection money. My father's condition is getting worse and worse. He coughs every night and vomits blood several times. My sister is very worried. Dad is getting weaker day by day, and he often says that he doesn’t know if he will be able to see you again. Brother, if you have finished the war, please come back quickly. The family can't live without you. But you don't have to worry. I will find a way to treat my father's illness and will wait for you to come back. We will reunite as a family and then go to the county town to see Sister Yujiao. She will be very happy to see you... As he watched, Chen Xian's eyes unconsciously became moist.
He held the letter, which was the worst yellow straw paper. His palms were trembling slightly, and when his eyes became sharp, a large spot of the letter in his hand was wet. He gently folded the letter and went to find Xiahou Yu. "What? You want to go back immediately?" In the central army tent, Xiahou Yu asked in surprise: "Chen Xian, what happened?" Chen Xian said expressionlessly: "General, something happened at home, I want to go home immediately." Xiahou Yu looked embarrassed: "You are leaving before His Majesty returns to the capital. I'm afraid it won't work. His Majesty may summon you again later. If you leave, it will be very difficult for me, right?" "Three days. I must go back within three days." Chen Xian said with a frown. "Okay, I'll find a way for you!" Xiahou Yu nodded. Chen Xian didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and left. Xiahou Yu had a headache. The war was over, but there were still many things to be arranged. He needed to arrange which personnel would return to the court and which would stay at the Demon-Suppressing Pass. As for the promotion reward, it will take at least one day. The Demon Dynasty will definitely send someone to negotiate with Emperor Ning about the matter of Cang Mingyun and his sister. It will take at least a day, and the key is that we don’t know when they will come. It will take at least half a month to arrange other miscellaneous matters. So when Chen Xian said he would go home in three days, although he agreed immediately, he still didn't know how to tell Emperor Ning. If an ordinary soldier really encounters an emergency at home, he can make the decision based on the situation. But Chen Xian’s identity is different now. He is the Marquis of Divine Bravery and the General who Suppresses Demons. How can he just leave? However, what made Xiahou Yu happy was that on May 22nd, the demons came. It was a great demon saint who brought the four white tiger demon saints to the Demon Suppression Pass. "flaming Phenix?" Xiahou Yu recognized the great demon saint of the demon side at a glance. He was the great demon saint of the Fire Phoenix clan. He looked like a middle-aged man, with a handsome face, dressed in golden brocade clothes, and had a very strong aura. The four White Tiger Demon Saints also lowered their heads in front of him. (End of this chapter)
