Chapter 1461: Eight Years (Part 2)

As for Zhou Shentong's strength, Wu Fan didn't find it strange, after all, he had seen how powerful he was.

"Alas! That's right! Fellow Daoist Wu, you don't know that since the battle of Qianlong City, your side has lost more than 100,000 people, and less than 300,000 have survived. But the Zhuilongyu side has more than 500,000 people, and this doesn't include the monsters in the Yaoyun Mountains."

"With such a huge disparity in strength, even if your side hides in the rear city, it can't hold on for too long. Almost every once in a while, you have to abandon the city and retreat. Now that eight years have passed, your side has retreated to the "Xuanwu City" in the northwest! And this city is also your last place to defend."

Ding Wensong didn't hide anything. He shook his head and sighed first, and then took a deep look at Wu Fan, wanting to see what kind of expression he would show.

The result was similar to what he guessed. Wu Fan's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but exclaimed!

"What...! Have they retreated to Xuanwu City? This...!"

Wu Fan's eyes were shaking, and his face looked a little ugly.

The other party's words that Beidou Domain had lost more than 100,000 people did not surprise him, because he had already expected this situation.

However, he was still amazed that the army had retreated to Xuanwu City. You know, it has only been eight years, but Xuanwu City is deep in the northwest, not far from Baiyan Country.

What the other party said was right. Xuanwu City is indeed the last stronghold of Beidou Domain. As long as this city is broken, Baiyan Country will bear the brunt, followed by several small countries such as Xia Country. If things develop to this point, it means that Beidou Domain has changed its owner.

Wu Fan did not expect Ming Qianzong to act so quickly. It only took such a short time to force the Beidou Domain army there. No wonder he did not see the shadow of the army along the way.

It seems that if there is no miracle, Beidou Domain may not last long.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, what's going on in Fengxiao City? Has it also been lost?"

Without waiting for Ding Wensong to speak, Wu Fan hurriedly asked. In his opinion, since the battlefield has spread to the vicinity of Baiyan Country, Fengxiao City must no longer exist, after all, Xuanwu City is at the back of Fengxiao City.

Even if Fengxiao City had not been lost before, it would not be able to continue to resist the enemy now, because once the enemy adopts the method of attacking from both sides, the 200,000 troops stationed in Fengxiao City will inevitably be spared.

It's no wonder that Wu Fan is so anxious, because there are many of his friends there, as well as people from other forces in Xia Country.

"Even if Fellow Daoist Wu didn't ask, I was about to tell you this. In fact, Fengxiao City has already been lost. To be precise, this city was lost at the same time as Qianlong City!"

Ding Wensong showed a strange look on his face and said something that shocked Wu Fan.

"They fell together? How could that be? Wasn't that eight years ago?"

Wu Fan showed a trace of disbelief on his face and cried out again.

As far as he knew, the city defense formation in Fengxiao City was no worse than that of Qianlong City. Even if there were 100,000 fewer troops there, it should not have been breached in just one day.

Otherwise, how could Taishigong say that without caring? Because the high-level officials of Beidou Domain had already calculated that if the 100,000 troops sent here were only away for a few days, Fengxiao City would not be in danger.

But unexpectedly, Fengxiao City was breached on the same day.

Although Wu Fan was surprised, he was always smart. As soon as he spoke, he thought of a possibility.

As a result, his guess was correct. Ding Wensong immediately gave the answer.

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Wu, you don't know that on the day when Zhuge Qingtian sent 100,000 troops to support Qianlong City, Fengxiao City was breached by the enemy. It is said that there was a traitor there. Before the two armies started fighting, the city defense formation of Fengxiao City was opened by the traitor from inside the city. The situation here is exactly the same as that of Qianlong City! As for what happened later, I think Fellow Daoist Wu should be able to guess it."

Ding Wensong looked at Wu Fan, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and explained slowly.

"So that's the case! Humph! It seems that Ming Qianzong had planned for that battle for a long time, and the arrangement was flawless. I just don't know who the traitor was over there? Also, what was the result of the battle in Fengxiao City that year, and where did the survivors go?"

Wu Fan took a deep breath, couldn't help but snorted, and then asked hurriedly. He really wanted to see who betrayed Beidou Domain.

"It is said that there were quite a few people who rebelled, including five or six Yuanying-stage cultivators, and the leader was Yuan Junze from the Heavenly Demon Alliance. I think Fellow Daoist Wu knows this person."

"As for the result of the battle that day! To be honest, it was not much better than Qianlong City. It is said that after Yuan Junze led several Yuanying-stage cultivators to rebel that day, the disciples of these people also rebelled together. Fengxiao City originally had only 200,000 troops, and this time it directly lost another 30,000 to 40,000 people."

"But fortunately, there were no monsters from the Yaoyun Mountains to help there. After sacrificing 70,000 to 80,000 people, you finally retreated to the next city. In the eight years since then, the less than 100,000 people left were also beaten back by the enemy. Now they have joined the army of Qianlong City and retreated to Xuanwu City. It can also be said that all the armies of Beidou Domain are now gathered in Xuanwu City."

Ding Wensong did not hide anything and told the story in detail.

"Yuan Junze, it's him! I didn't expect it. By the way, Fellow Daoist Ding, do you know what happened to Xuanchengzi of Lingxiao Temple in Xia Kingdom? Did he survive the battle?"

After hearing this, Wu Fan frowned slightly. He did know that Yuan Junze. He remembered that Fairy Hanyu framed him, which led to him being tried by True Man Qingyang and others in the meeting hall. In addition to Gong Hubo, Xiahou Jian, and Madam Yan, there were two other people. These two people were the two directors of the Heavenly Demon League. One of them was Jia Hantian, and the other young man was Yuan Junze.

Wu Fan had a good impression of this person. He was a mid-term peak cultivator, but he spoke very little. The two of them didn't say a few words that day, and there was no intersection afterwards. But I didn't expect that this seemingly taciturn person would be the mastermind of the rebellion.

It seems that the spy who leaked the news in Fengxiao City that year was this person. No wonder True Man Qingyang couldn't find this person after investigating for a long time. It turned out to be such a high-level figure with all-powerful hands and eyes.

But Wu Fan was too lazy to care about these things now. Who was the spy had nothing to do with him. What he cared about most now was whether Xuan Chengzi was still alive.

"Xuan Chengzi! I have heard of this person before, but I don't know if he is still alive. I only heard that in the battle that year, a total of nine Yuanying stage cultivators died in Fengxiao City. As for whether Xuan Chengzi was among them, I don't know."

Ding Wensong shook his head and said vaguely.
