Chapter 40 Yuan Futong's Joy
The plan was finalized, and Yang Jian and Su Daji strolled around Baishi City, admiring the exotic style of the barbarian architecture. The token given by the witch was enough for them to move freely.

Even though there was a peerless beauty by his side, Yang Jian had no intention of appreciating her. He just wanted to finish these things quickly and then find a way to kill the enemies and become stronger.

"What about me? What should I do? If there's nothing else, I'll go back."

Yang Jian spoke out.

It was not known whether his sister Yang Chan had succeeded in becoming his disciple. Perhaps she was waiting for him to visit her in Jinxia Mountain at this moment.

His pursuit is to keep killing enemies and becoming stronger, so that his strength will be strong enough not to be swayed by the general trend and to protect the people he cares about.

Instead of playing tricks with Su Daji, this slutty fox.

Intrigue and schemes cannot make him stronger.

"Of course, it's to help me become an immortal!"

Su Daji looked at Yang Jian, the stars reflected in her pupils: "Are you not interested in the Shang Dynasty's heavenly offerings? The essence inside is enough to allow either of us to reach the Golden Immortal realm."

The sacred artifact used by the Shang Dynasty for offering sacrifices to the heavens was the huge bronze tripod that had appeared on the generals' platform before. It was thousands of times larger than the bronze tripod from Jizhou.

Su Daji explained: "The artifact for offering sacrifices to heaven was cast by Dayu. It was a national treasure of the previous dynasty and was responsible for guarding the nine states. The Shang Dynasty obtained it from the Xia Dynasty and also regarded it as a national treasure. As for the reason, it was naturally because only those who obtained the tripod had the right to offer sacrifices to the emperor of heaven and the queen of earth, and only then could they be the orthodox of the Central Plains.

The big tripod in Wen Zhong’s camp was one of them.”

The devil eye between Yang Jian's eyebrows suddenly became interested.

Demon Eye: "With Su Daji's help, maybe it will work. If we can get the essence of the heavenly offering artifact, we will be able to walk sideways in this prehistoric world."

"I'm the one walking sideways, and you're just an eyeball, you don't even have a hand, and you still want to leave?"

Yang Jian retorted in his heart.

Magic Eye: "All the same."

Yang Jian looked at Su Daji suspiciously. He was worried that this fox was making false promises to him, so he asked, "Do you really have the ability to get the Shang Dynasty's sacred artifact for offering sacrifices to the heavens?"

If Su Daji really had that ability, Yang Jian wouldn't mind wasting two more days.

Who would want to fight and kill when you can become stronger just by lying down?

Su Daji looked into the distance dimly, and said with a sigh: "If this is accomplished, not to mention one heavenly offering artifact, even if there are nine, you can play with them at will."

Yang Jian inexplicably felt something was wrong. Could it be that this woman really wanted to rebel?

The next day.

It's just dawn.

When Yuan Futong was half asleep, his confidant brought a wooden box to his bedside and said it was sent by the barbarians.

Yuan Futong didn't care at first, but suddenly he smelled a familiar fragrance.

The whole person became sober instantly.

Thinking of a possibility in my mind.

The trembling arms lifted the lid slightly.

Suddenly, he met the pair of eyes that he had been dreaming about.

It was indeed Su Daji.

"Ah~"

Su Daji seemed surprised and let out a cry.

Yuan Futong was excited and was about to laugh out loud, but then he remembered that the mountain king also wanted Su Daji, and he was worried that the monster would discover his movements.

His face suddenly darkened, and he could only suppress the excitement in his heart. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, niece. Don't scream. Uncle won't hurt you. Your father, who was blinded by fame and fortune, wanted to send his daughter away. Uncle couldn't stand such a man, so he took action to get you back from the barbarians."

Yuan Futong only thought that Su Hu had sold his daughter. He did not realize that the source of the trouble was Su Daji in front of him.

It can only be said that Su Daji's disguise is too strong. In Yuan Futong's heart, Su Daji is just a pure and kind little girl, but she is too beautiful, which makes people feel pity for her.

"Daji understands. Daji thanks the Marquis of Beihai."

Su Daji's timid voice came out from the wooden box.

"crunch~"

The lid of the wooden box was completely opened, and Su Daji was able to come out.

Her clothes were disheveled, her pretty face was pale, her arms were folded, and she was looking around anxiously.

Yuan Futong whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm very safe here, but don't make too much noise, there's a monster here who really wants to eat you."

"Ah~ Monster!"

Su Daji deliberately let out a loud scream, with a look of fear, and squatted in the box trembling.

Yuan Futong's face turned pale immediately. The tiger monster was monitoring everywhere, and he would definitely be able to detect such a loud noise. His idea of ​​taking Su Daji for himself had failed.

In a tent in the center of the camp, dense spider silk formed a spider web.

There is a jade spider on it.

Looking closely, every line around him was vibrating imperceptibly, which meant he was monitoring the movements in the camp.

When Su Daji screamed, the eight eyes of the jade spider, which were originally closed, suddenly opened.

The figure flashed and disappeared, along with the bamboo hat and gray robe on the ground.

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Yuan Futong.

When he saw Su Daji in the box, he immediately understood something.

Yin Zeze asked in a deep voice: "Yuan Futong, since Su Daji is here, why don't you send her to me? Do you want to enjoy her yourself?"

When Yuan Futong heard the voice, he felt that a disaster was imminent. His scalp tightened and he stammered nervously, "Shan~Shan Jun, how dare I? I just want to see if Su Daji is real. It would be bad if the barbarians did something wrong."

"Heh~ I hope so."

The tiger sneered, lifted up his sleeves, revealing a sharp limb, and lifted Su Daji's chin, looking at her.

He took a deep breath, and the eight eyes under the bamboo hat moved in unison. The lower half of his face was covered with a piece of gray cloth, and it seemed that there was a sharp object flipping in it.

Su Daji used fear to disguise the disgust in her eyes. She hated ugly things, especially the thing in front of her which was really ugly.

The tiger's sharp limbs sank deeply into Su Daji's chin.

A drop of blood oozed out and dripped along the tiger's outstretched limbs.

"Whoosh~"

He caught the blood with his limbs and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully, with his eight eyes revealing a fascinated look.

"Okay~" He suddenly exclaimed: "Put her in my barracks, and when I'm done enjoying her, I'll definitely need your share of the soup."

"Yes, Shanjun."

Yuan Futong suppressed his reluctance and nodded in agreement.

Su Daji saw everything, her eyes thoughtful.

"Wait a minute~"

She suddenly spoke up and called out to the mountain king who was about to leave.

Ten eyes in the barracks looked at Su Daji.

Su Daji looked frightened. She took out a sheepskin and revealed the words on it. She said timidly, "This is what the barbarians asked me to bring to the Marquis of Beihai. They said they are willing to deepen cooperation with the eldest prince Weiziqi. As long as the eldest prince agrees, they can offer 100,000 young and strong men as human sacrifices and show their loyalty to him."

The light in the ten eyes of the camp suddenly lit up.

Among them, there are eight tigers and two by Yuan Futong.

The two looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

"Send a message to the eldest prince immediately and tell him that the barbarians are willing to surrender. They are brave and good at fighting. If they help, the position of the heir to the Shang Dynasty will belong to the eldest prince."

noon.

The gates of Bai Shi City remain closed.

Su Daji's beauty trap obviously did not succeed.

I wonder how Yang Jian is doing, is he safe?
With the magic weapon of the Golden Spirit Mother protecting me, I think no one here can do anything to me.

Think of this.

Wen Zhong swung the golden whip in his hand heavily.

The entire army pressed forward, determined to break into Bai Shi City.

The four generals of the Demon Family and many monks in the army also went out together.

But Baishi City is worthy of its reputation as a natural barrier, not to mention that the demons within it are no less powerful than the monks in the coalition forces of the princes.

The battle lasted from day to night. The area beneath Baishi City was like a grinding mill with corpses piled up in a thick layer. More than half of the allied forces of the princes were killed or wounded, and the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty also suffered heavy losses.

The morale of the army will be broken.

The supervisory camp killed so many people in the rear that they urged the soldiers to climb up the city wall obediently.

News came from the rear that a batch of food and military equipment on the road had been robbed by the barbarians.

It was obvious that someone had leaked the food route.

Wen Zhong looked at Yuan Futong, and Yuan Futong looked back at him provocatively.

At this moment, the number of troops under Yuan Futong's command was no less than that of the remaining elite troops of the Shang Dynasty. Even if they turned against each other, Yuan Futong would naturally not be afraid as long as Wen Zhong did not use his sword energy.

If Wen Zhong used sword energy, then he should be the one who is afraid. Without sword energy, what can he use to conquer Baishi City?

The help that the tiger called for was not far away.

As soon as Wen Zhong uses his sword energy, Yuan Futong will notify him to take action, and Wen Zhong will surely die.

Wen Zhong's expression became more and more ugly. It was impossible to capture Baishi City relying solely on these soldiers and generals.

I don’t know how these barbarians control these demons so that they can defend the city so fearlessly.

The black unicorn was sitting down and ready to move, but he reached out and held it down.

On the opposite city wall, a black-robed figure was staring at him, and behind him a giant ape was ready to attack.

His cultivation level is also at the immortal level.

Wen Zhong thought about fighting himself, but considering that Yuan Futong was watching him closely, he had to suppress his desire.

As for using the Qingping Sword's energy to deal with Baishi City, Wen Zhong had never had such an idea in his mind.

The life-saving means bestowed by the leader would never be wasted on these meaningless ants.

Wen Zhong's expression was uncertain, and he could not help but ask, "Li Jing, how do you think we can break through Baishi City?"

Hearing this, Li Jing bowed his head and said, "Bai Shi City is difficult to attack. One man can block the passage of ten thousand men. Perhaps only the immortals from the other world can break through this city. I hope that the Grand Master will have mercy on the lives of the soldiers."

Asking for help?

When Wen Zhong heard these two words, he felt as if his senior brother Yu Yuan whispered in his ear, "Little Wen Zhong, you don't seem to be very good. With this level, you still want to compete with me for the first place among the three generations of disciples?" Then there was the laughter of Master Jin Ling Sheng Mu.

There is no way he could ask for help.

Even if I, Wen Zhong, lose the battle, the worst that can happen is that I will return to Chaoge to be punished, and I will never ask for help.

"Sound the retreat~"

Wen Zhong sighed, and felt much older the moment he said this.

His original intention this time was to establish his prestige in the army by relying on the merit of sweeping the northern border and pave the way for future plans.

But the result made him extremely disappointed. The expedition went smoothly in the early stages, but when he arrived at Baishi City, he found it difficult to move forward.

The biggest resistance is not on the battlefield, but in Chaoge. Perhaps he should not lead the troops to fight this time. He should clear out those who oppose him in the court before he will have room to show his talents.

The army sounded the retreat.

Many princes breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Wen is giving up? Then I, the Marquis of Beihai, am willing to test how dangerous the natural defenses of Baishi City are! I, Yuan Futong, will shoulder the responsibility of protecting the seventy-two lords in the northern border!"

Yuan Futong suddenly jumped out, eager to try.

With the secret surrender of the barbarians, he naturally wanted to take the credit for capturing Baishi City.
