The north of Tianyuan Continent is far away from the frozen Beida Prefecture, the mountains and wastelands are covered with ice, and the places where the blue clouds and fog and endless white frost spread.

The scenery of Baishan Prefecture is always so unique and cold, quiet and withered.

Here, few humans or other lives wander in the wild. Even the toughest white bears and tigers have an unbearable bitter cold season. At that time, the cold wind that can condense the soul will freeze the earth and the sky, and dye everything white.

Now, it is this moment.

The solid city walls made of gray-white long white rock stand among the towering mountains, with endless peaks and earth veins as the foundation. The spiritual light of the huge magic circle covers the sky and the earth, and divides the sky and the earth in the entire field of view. The vast Baishan Wuyun River flows in front of Tianguan, like a natural dividing line.

Baishanzhou·Taibai Pass in the north.

Taibai Pass, which lies across the edge of Baishan Prefecture and the border between Weiguo, was originally mediocre and never received anyone's attention.

In the new country, no one thought that the small Wei Kingdom, which lived in a cold place, was a threat worth guarding against. In the Wei Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom royal family, which had never had a different mind, naturally did not think about attacking the Xin Dynasty's level.

Therefore, over the years, the two sides have been tacitly not interfering with each other, and occasionally some border residents will spontaneously trade gatherings at the border. At that time, many specialties originating from the extreme north and the North Sea will gather together in the flying snow, becoming a unique scenery in the north.

But now, everything has been changed.

The dark clouds and mists covered all the sky outside the Taibai Pass giant formation with endless demonic energy. The stars in the sky and even the light of the sun were all swallowed by these mist demonic energy, and only a dull abyss was seen.

The entire territory of the State of Defense was completely swallowed up by the fog. It had already turned into the demonic realm of the human world and the demonic land on the earth.

Thousands of New Kingdom soldiers were nervously on guard in the pass. Although they could not see or detect it now, many soldiers who had fought with the other side knew that in the seemingly calm black fog, there might be extremely powerful Nine Nether Demon Army with the power of the heavenly demons swarmed out, intending to break through the Taibai Pass of the northern border and continue their journey of invading the earth veins.

If Taibai Pass was just an ordinary border level, perhaps it would have been broken by the demon army long ago, so that the subordinates of these demons could drive straight into it.

But, fortunately, Taibaiguan is not ordinary.

Over the years, it has secretly condensed the strongest power and technology of the New Dynasty, which can be regarded as the concreteization of the growing national strength of the New Dynasty.

But even so, the form is not optimistic.

The power of the demon is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

——Demon.

Among the gods and demons, there are powerful existences originating from the Nine Nether Demon Land.

Legend has it that the first demons were not demons. They were also gods and immortals, but they were unwilling to obey the call of the original Emperor of Heaven and become one of the stars in the sky, and rule the entire world together with the Immortal God Realm.

They are rebellious immortals and gods, and they are unwilling to succumb to humans, so they come out independently from the fairy and heaven, gathering in the nine-descene land that seems to be one, but is actually a scattered sand.

These gods and demons who are unwilling to submit to order and just want to do whatever they want are, although they have been suppressed by the fairy and heaven, and because of the internal chaos, they have been passively beaten and have never had any moments of counterattack.

However, the appearance of the first nameless demon lord gathered the Nine Nethers, which were scattered sand at that time, gathered the souls of billions of sentient beings in the name of reincarnation. He established the Nine Nether Sea as a place for the demons to live in.

At that time, the heaven and earth were obsessed with His grand plans and did not care about these rebellious actions.

When the gods and demons encounter disasters, the great ominous spreads, causing the immortal god realm to be forced to leave the Tianyuan Realm, the southern continent and the eastern continent to sink, endless resentful souls wander in the world, but there are also infinite souls that throw themselves into the dark sea, making Jiuyou completely take shape.

However, the nameless first generation of Jiuyou Demon Lord also disappeared without a trace like the Taichu Heavenly Emperor. Then, during the period of the second generation of Tiandi, Taihao Heavenly Emperor, who was in charge of fate, no second Heavenly Lord appeared in Jiuyou.

Until the end of fate, under the reluctance of being suppressed and controlled by sentient beings, the second generation of the Demon Lord, the Great Free Demon, appeared in the world. His battle with the Emperor of Heaven established the current situation.

Whether it is the confrontation between the third generation of Heavenly Emperor Taihao and the third generation of Heavenly Demon Lord, the Great Demon King, or the balance between the immortals, gods and heavenly demons, whether it is the invasion of the outer heavenly demons or the condensation of the hearts of people in the mortal world, they all originated from that battle.

And because of this, the Nine Nether Sea, which used to only store the souls of the human world, gradually became the Nine Nether Sea of ​​Desire that merged the desires of the heavens. Although there were countless souls wandering, the purpose was not to let them rest in peace, but to let them provide a steady stream of thoughts and wishes.

The demon has thus completely transformed from a rebellious immortal and god into a real demon. Since then, even the desires of the immortal and gods have been within the control of the Nine Nether Sea of ​​Desire.

Even if there is a spirit in the world... then even the desires of the world, the demons can still influence and control them.

And this is the intention of the demons - they will invade the veins of heaven and earth with endless desires and demonic energy of sentient beings and control the power of the veins of the unparalleled earth.

Cracking through Taibai Pass in the northern border is just the first step.

At the Taibai Pass Pass, above the city wall, busy soldiers are patrolling and on guard back and forth to detect whether the magic array is perfected.

Taibai Guangen is based on the core of the local earth veins and the center of the surrounding earth veins. It is extremely strong. If you want to break it, you must invade the power of the earth veins around it and completely cut off its defense power.

However, it is basically impossible to cross it to invade the surrounding veins.

If you want to infect the earth veins as easily as in Wei Kingdom and convert the demonic land, you must first break the Taibai Pass. But if you want to break the Taibai Pass, you must first invade the earth veins. The problem of whether there are chickens or eggs first makes the Nine Nether Demon Army, which has invaded several times, feels a headache for it and has to retreat.

However, it was just a temporary situation. The demon army supported by the demons behind it would not be blocked so easily.

Tianguan, where a certain sentry guard is located.

The former prefect of Beiling City and the head of the logistics department of Taibai Pass, Wang Haitian was circulating with an aurora-like light curtain. He was passing through the large array inside Tian Pass with a serious face, and using the power of the Yuanmagnetic divine light to sense the breath of the enemy in the endless fog.

Indeed, the mist condensed from the Nine Nether Demonic Qi almost isolates all detection methods, whether it is spiritual energy or light waves, all of them are swallowed by them - but the Earth Yuan Magnetic Divine Light is not included, which is enough to span multiple realms, and the tiny but endless long power is one of the strongest observation methods that is almost impossible to be blocked.

After several round-trip inspections, we can confirm that there is indeed no demon army around us who is preparing to attack suddenly.

Wang Haitian couldn't help but sigh when he reported the relevant information to the inner palace.

"Although His Majesty the Holy Emperor did preview the movements of the Nine Nether Demon Army in advance... But the devil is really shameless to use the loopholes of the contract to invade the mortal world!"

In the past, after defeating Zhengyang Kingdom, the Holy Emperor made a covenant with the gods and demons - Gods and demons did not enter the mortal world, and the new dynasty also had to cooperate with them on various matters to provide convenience.

Among them, such as cooperating with the immortals and gods to re-establish humanitarian order, or cooperating with the demons to promote the horror of the demons related to the demons, they are all part of the relevant contract.

The new dynasty has indeed met the various requirements in the contract.

But the gods and demons rarely perform.

Whether it is the thoughts of gods and demons, or the invasion of the current Nine Nether Demon Army as agents, the new dynasty has no way to appeal for "injustice", so they can only grit their teeth and face it.

This is the gap between humans and gods and demons - one side can regard various rules and regulations as nothing and play with all kinds of loopholes, while the other side can only strictly abide by them.

Just like now. Because the Wei Kingdom does not belong to the New Dynasty, the demons directly defiled a country and inserted a nail on the back of Zhongzhou. Then the demon army invaded it, which was equivalent to the Wei Kingdom's invasion of the New Dynasty itself, and it was not the gods and demons who took action personally.

"Although His Majesty the Holy Emperor has made every decision, he is facing gods and demons who are almost taking action personally... Can we really stop it?"

Thinking of this, he looked at the almost endless Nine Nether Demonic Aura in front of him. For a moment, even Wang Haitian looked a little dim: "Taibai Pass is strong, but how many times can he resist the thoughts of gods and demons?"

And just behind this worried man, a thin man holding a sword and silent face remained unchanged.

Yan Changfeng, the remnant leader of Qinglinzhou, is now bowing his head and lowering his eyes.

This strong man at the peak of the real person was neither sad nor happy. He just followed the orders of the Holy Emperor, followed Wang Haitian, protecting this heavenly real person with powerful Yuan Magnetic power and could detect the attack of the Nine Nether Demon Army in advance.

As for why he could so easily obey Ming Zhengde's order, who should have been his mortal enemy,... the answer is actually very simple.

Because the person holding the sword has changed.

Now, it is February 11, the second year of the New Calendar.

Three months after Zhengyang Kuishou Nan Zhengkai was awarded the title of the founding kingdom, two months after Zhengyang was accepted by the Xin Dynasty's Southern Expedition Army.

Even Zhengyang Kingdom surrendered, and Han Shiling, as the second leader, held the Qingxiao Zhengyang ruler, announced that Zhengyang Kingdom will be incorporated into the new dynasty as an autonomous region in the future... So as a sword, what reason does he have to resist his current theoretically highest and highest master?

Betrayal, villain.

There is no dignity, no martial ethics, and no faith.

These are the evaluations and insults of those old companions of themselves.

Although he was despised by the slaves of the three surnames, he was not only guarded by the new dynasty, but also despised by his former Zhengyang companions.

But Yan Changfeng had no special thoughts in his mind.

Anyway...

It's just a sword.

Since they are all swords, what's the difference between them?

"Old Haitian, it's time to leave."

So, after Wang Haitian finished his feelings, he raised his head and said calmly: "There is no invasion of the Nine Nether Demon Army in this direction, so we should go to the next detection point to confirm."

Wang Haitian also turned his head to this.

He looked at the former Zhengyang Kingdom real person who almost slashed him with a complicated expression, and his heart was still a little awkward.

Although he understood that when facing gods and demons, he could not tolerate the waste of power. Since Yan Changfeng was such a guy who only obeyed the orders of a sword-holder, it would be extremely normal to use his power to fight gods and demons.

but……

Can this guy really be trusted?

But, at this moment.

Buzz —

A buzz suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.

The earth vibrates slightly.

Hearing this sound and sensing the vibration, Wang Haitian's expression suddenly changed.

He immediately activated the magic array again, used the Yuanmagnetic divine light to detect it, and then anxiously shouted at the communication channel inside the magic array: "Domine army invasion was detected!"

"No, not only this direction, there is also a second demon army!"

"It's below! They come from the veins!"

soon.

With Wang Haitian's alarm, the entire Taibai Pass immediately mobilized, and all the extremely alert soldiers went to their respective posts as soon as possible, preparing to fight against the upcoming powerful enemies.

However, this time the enemy was a little beyond their expectations.
To be continued...
