Chapter 178 – Lift the table

"For the leaders of these aristocratic families, including those in Shuofang and even Shuobei, it's all just a game of chess. The people of Shuobei are just pawns on the chessboard."

Su Yun remained calm, the wooden box in his hand transforming into a unique shape that continuously jumped in his palm.

The tremors beneath Shuofang City grew even more intense, and the large holy spirit soldiers' dust screens surrounding the palace of the Grey Calamity God King outside displayed magnificent changes, transforming into various shapes and forms. Suddenly, it turned into a thin sand screen, like a large pot lid, pressing down and trapping the palace of the Grey Calamity God King beneath it.

The Grey Calamity Mountain had already completely collapsed, and the rotating dust screens in the sky continuously rolled up huge pieces of the Grey Calamity and threw them far away. The area around the God King's palace was quickly cleared.

"The leaders of the aristocratic families, including Shuofang Marquis, Saint Xue, and Old Piao's son, are playing chess on the chessboard. Now..."

The wooden box in Su Yun's palm transformed into an overturned pot, and the young man waved his hand, whispering, "Your chessboard is gone."

Buzz!

The sand screen surrounding the palace of the Grey Calamity God King dispersed, and inside the palace, the ancient and incredibly old Grey Calamity God King remained trapped within the Grey Calamity, motionless.

Suddenly, a thumping heartbeat sound burst out from the Grey Calamity, causing his aura to instantly increase by an unknown number of times!

"Tong Qingyun, Saint Xue, Di Ping, I've overturned your table and smashed your chessboard. You must be at your wits' end now, right?"

Su Yun gently grasped the wooden box that had landed and whispered, "From tonight on, the people of Shuofang and even the entire Shuobei are no longer under your control! I'm setting up a stage for you and laying out a new chessboard!"

In the seventeen states of Shuobei and the 108 counties, there were fires everywhere, and the city defense army was fighting against the Grey Calamity monsters.

These Grey Calamity monsters were numerous, and as they devoured more and more people, their strength became more and more astonishing, comparable to those in the Tianxiang realm!

Shuofang was the largest and most prosperous city in Shuobei, with the most aristocratic families and four major academies. However, there were not many people in the Tianxiang realm, only about thirty, and even with the hidden experts in the Tianxiang realm, there were not even forty.

In the other states and counties of Shuobei, the number of Tianxiang realm experts was much less, and even a state or county might only have one or two Tianxiang realm experts.

They were not facing one or two Grey Calamity monsters, but a group of them!

These Grey Calamity monsters were incredibly powerful, skilled in flying, and could come and go without a trace in the darkness. They didn't feel pain when they were hit, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Even with the support of Old Piao's Green Forest, they still suffered heavy casualties!

They could only rely on the army to form a formation and a few spiritual weapons to support them.

Just then, suddenly all the Grey Calamity monsters seemed to receive some kind of command, abandoning the city defense armies and battles in various places, spreading their wings and flying away on the clouds!A group of experts from various states in the north were stunned, unsure of what had happened. The Grey Calamity Monster, which had clearly been winning, why did it not kill them all?

However, the departure of the Grey Calamity Monster also saved their lives.

"Prepare for war!"

In each city, fires burned, and soldiers shouted, "Prepare for war, get ready to march to the northern border!"

Spiritual masters flew at high speed, delivering orders: "Prepare for war, march to the northern border!" n0velusb.c0m



Shuobian City.

Border soldiers stood on the walls of Shuobian City. The wall was a Great Wall built on a continuous mountain range, with battlements at regular intervals.

The border soldiers stood on the wall, and the battlefield was outside the wall.

The thunder tribulation in the sky was like the brightest sun, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.

The battlefield outside Shuobian City was called the Bojie Valley. Hundreds of years ago, five generals led thousands of troops to defend Shuofang and fought against the foreign tribes for thirty years, blocking them at the northern border.

The place where they fought became a battlefield full of demonic energy. There were rumors that countless ghosts roamed the battlefield at night, and even the ghost generals and gods fought each other.

Later, the emperor of the Eastern Capital came here to commemorate the dead soldiers and named this battlefield, which was like a demonic domain, the Bojie Valley.

The border soldiers had always thought it was just a legend, but over a month ago, they finally saw the ghost generals and gods.

That night, they saw five heavily demonic figures cross the Tian Shi Yuan and come to Shuobian, entering the Bojie Valley battlefield site.

The five monsters were all dressed in black, and their faces were unclear. The surrounding demonic energy made their figures appear extremely distorted.

That night, the soldiers guarding Shuobian heard the sound of roll call in the Bojie Valley. A heavy voice came from the valley, and every time a name was called, someone would respond with a "here."

That night, the border soldiers did not sleep. They were awakened by the sound of roll call. The scouts immediately went out to investigate and came back to report to the commander of Shuobian: "There are thousands of troops in the Bojie Valley!"

The commander went to investigate and saw a disciplined army of thousands of "people" holding swords, guns, and other weapons, without making any sound!

The soldiers in that army were all in tatters, some with large holes in their chests, some missing parts of their heads, arms, or legs.

Their weapons seemed to have been buried in the ground for a long time and were mostly incomplete.

The commander did not say much and immediately returned to the border.

The next day, the Khan of the foreign tribes gathered his forces in Yangcheng and led a massive army to march towards Shuobian.

The soldiers of Shuobian did not wait for this battle. They only saw that the ghost army outside the pass in Bojie Valley blocked the Khan's army!The Bojie Valley seemed to have turned into a demonic realm that devoured all flesh. The foreign Khan was talented and ambitious, unwilling to stay in the borderlands and eager to conquer the Central Plains and seize the orthodox rule.

This rare opportunity was not to be missed by the seven major aristocratic families.

However, the army of thousands of ghosts and gods, led by the five and a half demons, was too powerful and getting stronger, blocking them here.

Even the high monk from the Golden Temple on the grassland was invited to come and exorcise, but was killed by the five and a half demons.

During this month, thousands of ghosts and gods were beaten to death, leaving only five increasingly powerful half-demons, preventing the Khan's army from entering the pass.

A spiritualist from the Central Plains served under him and offered a plan, so the Khan drove tens of thousands of slaves into the Bojie Valley.

General Li and the other half-demons had already killed so many slaves that their demonic energy reached its peak, triggering a heavenly calamity.

This heavenly calamity was so fierce that it was like five scorching suns hanging in the night sky, pouring thunderbolts recklessly onto General Li and others!

The five half-demons had towering bodies and did not resist the heavenly calamity. Instead, they rushed out of the Bojie Valley and bravely fought their way into the Khan's army.

The border soldiers watched from afar as countless thunderbolts interwove like shuttlecocks, illuminating the five towering figures.

The Khan's army was like an impregnable fortress, with many huge spirit soldiers. These spirit soldiers were activated, and a terrifying power rushed towards the five half-demons.

There were also countless steppe spiritualists surging like a tide, rushing forward in waves, shouting and killing, shaking the sky!

Under the light of the calamity, countless limbs floated in the air.

The Hun-Tuo Khan was bathed in divine light, like a towering deity, sitting in the army, motionless, watching the five half-demons rushing towards him, unstoppable!

General Li and the other half-demons leaped up and attacked him with all their might.

Just then, a sword light emerged from the calamity cloud in the sky.

The sword light circulated, and General Li, General Ye, and others, all had their heads cut off, and their spirits died a tragic death.

"My ancestors were unwilling to be the eagles of the borderlands, with the ambition to conquer the world. At the age of forty, they unified the borderlands and conquered thousands of miles of territory. My ancestors had the ambition to enter the Central Plains beyond the Tian Shi Yuan, but they were stopped by five heroes in the Bojie Valley."

The tall and towering Hun-Tuo Khan bowed to the corpses of the five demons who had turned to ashes in the thunder calamity, saying, "The five of them stopped him for thirty years, causing my ancestor to die in despair. When I was young, I entered the Tianmen Ghost Market and found my ancestor, fulfilling his last wish. Today, I have been blocked by the five heroes for fifty days, and although I have won, I am not very happy."He straightened his back and raised the whip in his hand, pointing towards the northern border. "Soldiers, conquer the northern border!"

"Beep beep--"

The sound of the horn resounded loudly, and the soldiers from the frontier rushed towards the border like a tide.

At the Tian Shi Yuan relay station, several old soldiers guarding the station stood on the mountaintop, resisting the attacks of countless demons and monsters. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the old soldiers looked northward, only to see the five suns in the night sky extinguished.

"The border may not hold."

The old soldiers looked solemn and glanced at each other. "If the border falls, Tian Shi Yuan relay station will be the second line of defense! Gentlemen, we are ready to die!"

"Ready to die!"

In the Shuo Fang City, Qiu Shuijing stood in front of the window of the Tian Fang Tower, looking at the northern sky where one sun after another was extinguished, and the city was plunged into darkness again.

Behind him, he heard the voice of Lu Hao, the official of the land. "Lord Shuijing, the sky was so bright just now that I thought it was dawn. I didn't expect it to be still dark now."

Just then, a giant disaster gray monster flew past the Tian Fang Tower, stirring up a gust of wind.

Lu Hao's face changed slightly, and he hurried to the window to look outside. He saw that one after another giant disaster gray monsters had come from other places in the north and flew into Shuo Fang!

Lu Hao was stunned. He saw one disaster gray monster after another diving down!

"Bang!""Bang!""Bang!"

The wells in Shuo Fang City exploded, and many disaster gray monsters rushed underground!

Qiu Shuijing said calmly, "Lu Tai Chang, it seems that someone is overturning the table. Your table, your chessboard, they disdain playing with you. Someone wants to start a new game, and you and I, the Marquis of Shuo Fang, and even the Sage Xue, are all pieces on this chessboard."

Lu Hao's face was uncertain, and he laughed, "Lord Shuijing, why do you say that?"

Qiu Shuijing's eyes flickered, "If you don't make a move, and the other pieces move first, then your chances of winning will be greatly reduced. Don't forget, Emperor Ping is also a piece on the chessboard. If he moves first..."

Lu Hao roared, and his breath suddenly exploded. Countless divine dragons flew out of his body, entangled and twisted, and shattered the Tian Fang Tower Immortal Residence!

"Qiu Shuijing--" Countless divine dragons roared, and the sound shook and shattered the layers of space behind Qiu Shuijing!

Qiu Shuijing stood still, his body shaking like ripples.

Lu Hao hurriedly reached out to grab him, but his palm passed through Qiu Shuijing's body, and Qiu Shuijing was not there.

Lu Hao's face changed drastically, and he quickly walked to the edge of the tower, looking outside. He saw hundreds of Qiu Shuijing standing in the air, surrounding the Tian Fang Tower.
