363: Sword pointed at the tiger, the guest is coming
The next day.
The troops mobilized by Yang Xiu and others arrived at Xi Xuan Pass. Currently, there are 80,000 Zhenxi Army soldiers guarding Xi Xuan Pass.
Inside a grand hall.
Xie Weilou was looking at a sandbox, which displayed some of West Chu's passes and cities.
Four elders and more than a dozen generals gathered around to observe.
"Reporting to the Young Master, the troops have arrived."
Yang Xiu entered the hall and respectfully saluted Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou nodded slightly and said to everyone, "From today onwards, these 80,000 Zhenxi Army soldiers will be responsible for guarding Xi Xuan Pass. As for the matter of the city's protective array, I will find a way. Since Xi Xuan Pass has been recaptured, it naturally cannot be allowed to be taken back by West Chu."
"Understood!"
Everyone saluted with serious expressions.
Xie Weilou looked at the sandbox, pointing to West Chu's Meng Hu Pass on it: "There is another important matter today, and that is to break through Meng Hu Pass!"
Meng Hu Pass is the first major pass at the border between West Chu and Great Xia. This pass is heavily guarded and has many strong cultivators.
Three years ago, when Xie Nantian was alive, he led the Zhenxi Army to break through Meng Hu Pass and captured some of its generals.
Later, he continued westward, even capturing a West Chu imperial relative.
Now, three years have passed, West Chu has re-taken Meng Hu Pass, and its ties with the Demon race have become closer, having refined even more Demon-Humans.
The situation has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to three years ago.
Currently, Meng Hu Pass has a large number of Demon-Humans and many strong cultivators, far surpassing what it was three years ago.
An elder pondered, "Young Master, according to the information we have gathered, the Demon-Human army within Meng Hu Pass is estimated to be around 300,000. As for other strong cultivators, they are currently unknown, but there are certainly many Profound Manifestation Realm cultivators!"
"Small problem."
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.
Yang Xiu curiously asked, "How many troops does the Young Master intend to take to Meng Hu Pass this time?"
Having witnessed the Young Master's strength, he didn't have too many doubts. Since the Young Master wanted to attack Meng Hu Pass, he must have confidence.
Xie Weilou smiled and said, "The four old generals, the four Golden Battle Generals, and I will go together. As for the remaining nine generals, you will be responsible for guarding Xi Xuan Pass and rebuilding this place."
At this point, he looked at the four old generals and the four of them, including Yang Xiu: "Are you all willing to accompany me to Meng Hu Pass?"
To break through a pass, why need a thousand armies?
In fact, one person and one sword are enough!
Upon hearing this, the eight of them, including Yang Xiu, said with serious expressions, "We are willing to accompany the Young Master to break through the pass."
Xie Weilou smiled and said, "There's no time to lose, let's depart now!"
"Understood!"
The eight immediately saluted.
Not long after.
On the city wall of Xi Xuan Pass.
Xie Weilou, Lin Qinghuang, and the eight generals gathered.
Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou: "Meng Hu Pass can be broken, but it cannot be defended."
If Xie Weilou could stay in the western region indefinitely, he could naturally defend Meng Hu Pass after breaking it.
However, it was clear that Xie Weilou would not stay here indefinitely.
The Zhenxi Army had a limited number of soldiers. If they went to defend Meng Hu Pass, and the West Chu army counterattacked, the Zhenxi Army would be unable to stop them.
Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Break it, plant the Great Xia flag, and then leave some gifts."
If he broke through Meng Hu Pass, he would naturally leave a generous gift. If the West Chu army wanted to retake it, they would have to pay a huge price.
"That works too."
Lin Qinghuang smiled and nodded.
"Let's go! Point the sword at the Fierce Tiger."
Xie Weilou flew into the distance.
"..."
Lin Qinghuang and the others did not hesitate and immediately followed.
Meng Hu Pass is two hundred li from Xi Xuan Pass. At their speed, they could arrive in half an hour.
— — — — — —
Meng Hu Pass.
Located in West Chu's Blood Tiger Plain, an ancient city sits, surrounded by fierce tigers, and a large army guards it. Breaking through this pass is extremely difficult.
On the towering city wall of Meng Hu Pass.
A tall, one-armed middle-aged man in blood-colored armor was playing chess with a beautiful middle-aged woman.
Both of them had strong auras, both were at the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage.
"Xi Xuan Pass has been recaptured. I'm very curious, why doesn't Commander Tie Zhan send troops to retake it?"
The middle-aged woman asked with a smile.
The news that Xi Xuan Pass had been recaptured and that more than 200,000 West Chu troops had been annihilated arrived yesterday, but Tie Zhan, as the commander, showed no reaction, which puzzled her.
Tie Zhan placed a piece, and said with a calm expression, "I want to see if that Xie Weilou has the guts to continue forward."
When Xie Nantian led the Zhenxi Army to break through Meng Hu Pass and captured many generals, one of them was his younger brother, Tie Jun.
And he himself had an arm severed by Xie Nantian at that time.
Now that Xie Nantian's son has come and recaptured Xi Xuan Pass, he wants to see if the other party has Xie Nantian's arrogance, and if he dares to come to Meng Hu Pass.
The middle-aged beautiful woman, named Mrs. Zhu, was a spider demon, and also one of the guardians of Meng Hu Pass.
She smiled and said, "If he dares to come, I will ensure his bones are nowhere to be found. Lord Tian Hu recently sent three Demon-Humans refined from cultivators, which can just be used to test their power."
Demon-Humans refined from ordinary people have limited combat power, while Demon-Humans refined from cultivators are much more powerful.
The three Demon-Humans sent by Lord Tian Hu were all at the Profound Phase Realm Peak, with even stronger combat power, and now it was time to test them.
Tie Zhan said indifferently, "If Xie Weilou dares to come, this Commander will personally take action and send him to heaven."
Even if Xie Weilou had three heads and six arms, if he dared to come to Meng Hu Pass, it would surely be a dead end.
Because within this Meng Hu Pass, there was currently a Dragon Transformation Realm strong cultivator guarding it, and that person was Lord Tian Hu.
Lord Tian Hu was one of the core members of the Demon race in West Chu who researched Demon-Humans, and his strength was extremely terrifying.
"Reporting, Lord Tie Zhan, ten figures are approaching Meng Hu Pass, and four of them are the Golden Battle Generals of the Zhenxi Army."
At this moment, a general on the city wall holding a spirit plate immediately reported.
"Golden Battle Generals? Guests have arrived!"
Tie Zhan stood up and looked outside the city. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"..."
Mrs. Zhu stood up with a broad smile.
Outside the city.
One hundred meters away.
Xie Weilou and the others appeared. They looked at Meng Hu Pass in front of them.
Meng Hu Pass, with city walls thirty meters high, was built from thick, massive stones, presenting a blood-red color overall. It was covered with ancient Restriction runes, which flickered and emitted a faint light, emanating a mysterious pressure.
The city gate was tall and tightly closed, with two huge tiger statues standing in front of it, subtly carrying a bloody aura.
On the city wall, West Chu battle flags were planted, swaying in the wind, conspicuous and striking.
"Young Master, the person on the city wall wearing blood-colored armor is the current commander of Meng Hu Pass, Tie Zhan. Three years ago, he had an arm severed by the Marquis, and now he has become even more terrifying."
Yang Xiu said to Xie Weilou.
Three years ago, Tie Zhan was only at the Dao Repository Realm Peak, but now he was clearly much more unfathomable.
"..."
Xie Weilou looked at Tie Zhan with an indifferent expression, releasing his divine soul power to observe the situation inside the city.
In this city, there were five Profound Manifestation Realm cultivators and one Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. Within the city, there were also many Demon-Human armies.
Kill!
Slaughter them all, leave no one behind!
