C308 "The enemy keeps his distance from his family, and counts his old debts."
C308 "The enemy keeps his distance from his family, and counts his old debts."
That voice was extremely tragic. This was a battle of life and death, no one would be lazy to let go.
When he encountered an opponent, he could only say one word: kill.
Killing the other was the right choice, kindness would only end up killing him.
This was a battle of life and death. There was no room for carelessness.
Under the tense atmosphere, Xiao Fan brought everyone to travel through the forest.
Every step forward he took was filled with caution, and each of them kept a close watch on the situation around them.
Perhaps the entire battlefield was huge, as they hadn't seen any trace of enemies in the last three days.
On the fifth day, they finally encountered some enemies fighting against each other.
That scene was especially tragic. Everyone was merciless when they attacked.
The severed arm and the exploded body fell to the ground in front of him.
"We don't need to do anything. We just need to move in the dark!"
Even if the scene was explosive, even if they had the chance to launch a sneak attack, under Xiao Fan's repeated insistence, the Da Xia Army was still hidden, gradually moving towards the first stage's center stage.
Only by reaching the central zone, seizing a second stage territory, and protecting the territory within, would they be able to enter the second stage.
The first phase had half a year, which was quite sufficient for the Grand Xia.
They did not need to show off for a moment. All they needed to do was to endure in secret and accumulate strength.
When the crucial moment came, he could use his strength. With a single move, he could gain victory and conceal his strength to the maximum extent, thus preparing for the second stage of the battle.
The tenth day passed, and the closer they got to the central region, the more groups they met that fought.
More and more battles broke out before him, and the situation became more and more desperate.
"Xiao Fan, looks like it's impossible to hide all the way to the central region. After exiting the lush forest, Spirit City gazed at the distant battle as he spoke.
The battles that they encountered became increasingly ordinary. Every few hundred miles, they would encounter two countries fighting each other, and their blood would flow like a river.
Their original plan had been to continue moving in secret until they reached the central region and obtained their territory.
Now, it seemed that it would be very difficult to do so.
Right now, they were still at least several hundred thousand miles away from the center region. At this distance, they would definitely encounter more and more people from other countries.
At that time, even if they wanted to move forward in secret, it would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, the further one went, the stronger the country would become.
After all, the central region was mostly the region where large countries were located, and they moved forward too quickly.
Perhaps before the other large countries had finished seizing their seats, they had already entered into an area that was densely packed with large countries.
To their Grand Xia, this was an extremely unfavorable situation.
"That's right. We're moving too fast. We've traveled tens of thousands of miles in ten days. It's time for us to stop!" Xiao Fan nodded and said.
Their speed was simply too fast. If they continued forward, the chances of meeting any other great powers would be extremely high.
Based on the current situation of the armies of Grand Xia, when encountering a powerful country, only four or five of them would have enough combat strength to deal with it. The rest of them didn't need to do anything at all; they could only watch from the sidelines.
If that was the case, their strength would be revealed very quickly and it would attract the attention of other countries.
In the event that they were surrounded, Xiao Fan and the others would be fine, it was just that it was a pity for the others under his command.
Many people could die unexpectedly, this was what Xiao Fan did not want to see.
"Then what should we do? Should we stop here, or ?" Si Hao asked for Xiao Fan's opinion.
There were many countries battling around this place, so it was relatively safe for them.
However, there were more people surrounding them. If they stayed here, they might be discovered.
"Let's go back to the outskirts. It's enough to increase everyone's strength in half a year. We'll go in after it's about time and snatch a seat." Xiao Fan said to the rest.
Now he could only go back and jump to the periphery.
On the outskirts, almost all of the countries were weak and didn't pose a threat to them. The chances of a large country appearing on the periphery weren't high.
Aside from the time they had to travel forward, they had at least four months' worth of time to cultivate in peace.
Within four months, Xiao Fan only needed to activate the Domain of Glory, and use it to speed up everyone's cultivation, allowing them to increase their cultivation by one or two realms.
When the time was almost up, everyone's strength had increased. They would then attack the central region and steal a domain.
"This is a good suggestion. I remember that three days ago, we passed a forest, and there was a relatively secluded valley. That place is very suitable for us to hide. How about we go there?" Ling City suggested.
"Alright, let's go there. There's no time to lose, let's go!" Xiao Fan nodded his head and agreed.
That valley was extremely secretive and was very hard to find. It was indeed very suitable for them to hide here as a temporary encampment.
With that, everyone headed towards the valley.
On their way to the valley, the crowd avoided many battles and sped up. After two days, they once again arrived at the valley.
However, when they arrived at the valley, they saw that there were many traces of a battle around the valley, and they could even see shadows of people inside.
"Someone actually came here first. I think there was a fierce battle just now!"
"It seems that not only us, but also many other countries, think the same way."
"These battle traces were probably created to compete for the valley!"
Seeing the messy scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
They were still a step too late. The valley had already been robbed.
At the same time, it was also telling everyone that they didn't think that way about countries that wanted to hide their true strength.
The battle before him had clearly occurred for quite some time.
However, there were still people within the valley. It was clear that they had taken a fancy to the valley and wanted to use it as a temporary habitat.
"Maybe they aren't used as a habitat, or maybe they set up a trap. Maybe there's no one around this valley to guard against them!" Spirit City observed the situation around the valley and said.
At this moment, there were people in the valley, indicating that a country's army had stayed behind.
However, he did not discover any guards around the valley. This was an extremely unusual occurrence.
As a temporary habitat, and it was a time of life and death, how could they not place security guards?
In the current situation, it was very likely to be a trap, a trap to lure others in.
If someone attacked, they might be tricked by the people in the valley and become dumplings.
"That's right, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Since they want to lure others into attacking us, we will make the best use of them. Brother Hao, I'll trouble you to bring some people to find out who is in the valley. I feel that there's a familiar aura down there, perhaps it's an old acquaintance!" Xiao Fan said to Si Hao.
"Old acquaintance, it can't be someone from the Tang Dynasty or those countries in the Zhou Dynasty, right?" Si Hao said in surprise.
The few people who appeared in the valley weren't very strong; based on their standards, they should be around the same level as the Grand Xia.
Among the weak nations, Xiao Fan was the one who had interacted with the students of the five nations in the past.
The familiar aura that came from Xiao Fan's mouth could not help but make Si Hao think of the other four nations.
Perhaps, of the people below, there were those who participated in the Martial Arts Competition back then. Xiao Fan had seen them before, that was why he felt this way.
"It could be that you brought people down to investigate. If there's no hostility, then for the sake of our past relationship, let us go. If there's any hostility, then we'll immediately eliminate it!" Xiao Fan said with a hint of ruthlessness: "It would be best if it's the people of the Great Tang Dynasty, that way we won't have to fight!"
As the distance between them was too far, Xiao Fan was unable to determine just who that familiar aura belonged to.
If the people in the valley were people of the Great Tang, then it would be a good thing for them.
Before leaving, he had received news that the Tang Dynasty was led by Crown Prince Li Muzhou.
He and Si Hao had a very good relationship with Li Muzhou. When they met people from the Tang Dynasty, they did not need to go all out. They could totally form an alliance and advance and retreat together.
"It's best if it is. Bai Qing, Situ Tao, let's go!" Si Hao said to Bai Qing and Situ Tao who were behind him.
In his heart, he hoped that the people in the valley were from the Great Tang, as they had such a close relationship with Li Muzhou, that they could completely cooperate and avoid a fight.
"Ok, boss, look at our performance!" Bai Qing said very happily.
Ten Thousand Dynasties War's first battle, was something that he could perform. He had to perform well and not disappoint Xiao Fan.
"Be smart!" Xiao Fan reminded everyone.
Under Si Hao's lead, sixty to seventy people from the Da Xia Empire headed towards the valley.
"Quickly, they entered the valley. Those that were left behind to guard the valley were all alarmed!"
"Who are you? If you take another step forward, you'll be killed without mercy!" One of them ferociously shouted at Si Hao and the rest.
"What a joke. This isn't your home, killing as you please. Which country are you people from? Are you trying to court death by acting so arrogantly?" Si Hao said coldly.
The tone of the person who spoke was extremely arrogant, it was only at the first stage of the Star Wheel, but he was shouting at him, a powerhouse at the seventh stage of the Star Wheel.
If he wasn't unclear about the other party's situation and if they were from the Great Tang Nation, he would have just slapped them to death with his palm.
A weakling actually dared to be so presumptuous towards a powerhouse like him. The dignity of a powerhouse could not be provoked.
"Who are you people? You are courting death. Offending my Great Shang Country will only result in death!" The man continued to speak ferociously.
"Great Shang Country, such a narrow path for enemies. You, an ant, dare to be disrespectful to me. You are courting death. We should settle some debts now!" Si Hao immediately shouted out in fury.
The person in front of him was actually someone from Great Shang Kingdom, this was really a narrow path for enemies to cross.
Grand Shang and Grand Xia were the neighboring countries in the Northwest. For many years, Grand Shang and Grand Xia had always been at odds with each other, and many wars had taken place between them.
The most recent major conflict was over the matter of the Star Origin Mountain in the northwest.
Back then, Grand Shang had launched an invasion with a million strong army in an attempt to snatch the starorigin vein.
Fortunately, there was the Godly Armored Army commanded by Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng at that time, which completely defeated the invasion of Da Xia.
Grand Xia and Grand Shang were originally enemies of each other, and now that they encountered each other, it did indeed feel like enmity between them was narrowed.
Si Hao also understood in his heart that Xiao Feng's feelings were not wrong.
Presumably, among the large merchant groups, there were people who had once participated in the Star Origin Mountain's competition, or had once participated in the Five Kingdoms' Academy Gathering.
"The people of Great Shang Empire are truly enemies on a narrow path. We cannot let them go!" The corner of Xiao Fan's mouth rose slightly, and with a hint of a smile, he said, "I'm really curious as to who that familiar person is, he shouldn't be Tang Chenggong right!"
He did not think that the people below were people of Grand Shang.
The Great Shang Kingdom and their relationship was hostile to the Da Xia Empire, so how could they let go of this group of people?
At the same time, he became interested in the owner of that familiar aura.
If Xiao Fan had to guess once, Tang Chenggong's chances of success were very high. After all, they had met twice.
The first time was during the war for the Star Origin mining lode, and the second time was during the war for the clones. It left a deep impression on him.
"Hahaha!" So who exactly am I, the crown prince of Grand Xia! "
"If Si Hao wants to settle the scores, then come at me. Today, we have settled the past grudges between our two nations!"
"That's right. In any case, there will only be one country in our two countries, and that is our Great Shang Country!"
At this moment, three voices resounded in the valley, full of mockery and excitement.
A group of people walked out from the valley, led by a blue-armored young man.
Beside him were two young men with similarly formidable imposing auras.
"It's you! Fifteenth Prince of the Great Shang Empire, prepare to save the Emperor Tang Clan!" Si Hao said while looking at Tang Shi Jie in shock.
Tang Clan Jie was the fifteenth prince of Grand Shang with a cultivation base similar to his.
As the Grand Shang has never been established as a crown prince, only the reserve monarch exists. Tang Dynasty Jie is the reserve monarch for Grand Shang.
"That's right, it's this prince. Si Hao, your luck is bad and actually met my Da Shang. The heavens are destined to destroy your Da Xia Empire!" Tang Shi Jie coldly ridiculed, "Don't you want to settle the score? Come at me and see what abilities you have to deal with my business!"
Hahaha, Tang Clan Jie, I wanted to call you stupid, or ignorant and ill-informed, don't you know that Xiao Fan exists in our Da Xia Empire, and we don't even have the ability to get even with you because of our Da Xia Empire, what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant here!? Si Hao laughed angrily.
Before a country goes to war, it makes a thorough survey of the surrounding countries and obtains some general information.
Da Shang should know that their Da Xia Empire had the existence of Xiao Fan, why was the Tang Family so arrogant? Could it be that they were not afraid of Xiao Fan?
"So what if Xiao Fan is here? Why isn't that cowardly tortoise here? Let him come out, I, Da Shang can also kill him, what is there to be afraid of!" Tang Shi Jie said with disdain.
"You are that confident that you can kill Xiao Fan!" Si Hao's face darkened as he stared at Tang Shi Jie.
Even though Si Hao was powerful, Tang Clan Jie still dared to be so impudent and speak such arrogant words, which confused Si Hao.
What trump cards did the Tang Clan have? What trump cards did they have? They weren't even afraid of a person who had descended from the heavens and killed their way through the first and second level of Heavenly Dipper.
One had to know that according to the information he obtained, Grand Shang didn't have such a powerful existence like the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
Tang Shi Jie was so arrogant and did not fear Xiao Fan in the slightest. He even boasted that he had the ability to kill Xiao Fan.
"Try it if you don't believe me. Get him to scram, don't be like a turtle hiding in the shadows!" Tang Shi Jie disdainfully said.
"Yes, let him out. This time, our enemies have really crossed paths. We will settle our old scores!" The young man on the left of Tang family member said.
"It's a narrow path for enemies. Do I have so many enemies? Everyone has to settle old scores with me. Do you have the ability to do that!" Xiao Fan's voice exploded in the valley, transforming into a dazzling beam of light, instantly appearing beside Si Hao.
