… …
Devour Fortress. The opened door was pitch-black, like the entrance to hell.
Yang Dingtian slowly walked in.
This was an incomparably huge hall. Around the hall, dozens of people sat high up, looking down at Yang Dingtian!
"Kuang!" Instantly, the door slammed shut!
Instantly, Yang Dingtian's vision turned completely dark. He could not even see his own fingers!
Yang Dingtian's cultivation was very high, so even in the dark, he could see clearly.
But here, he could not see anything because there was no light at all.
"You are Cloud Sky City's mayor, Yang Dingtian?" A cold and arrogant voice came from the incomparably huge hall.
Yang Dingtian had indeed heard this voice before. It was during the Demon City's Merchant Hall's auction.
This person was Earth Splitting City's mayor, Kui Si.
"Yes!" Yang Dingtian bowed and said, "Cloud Sky City's mayor, Yang Dingtian, pays his respects to Senior Kui Si."
"Why have you come to my Earth Splitting City?" Kui Si asked indifferently.
Yang Dingtian said, "Firstly, to thank Senior Kui Si for speaking up for justice at the Tiandō League.
Secondly, to form an alliance between Cloud Sky City and Earth Splitting City.
Thirdly, to borrow the Demon Eagle Army from Earth Splitting City.
Fourthly, to trade the fourth stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship with Kui Si. "
Yang Dingtian was very straightforward and didn't bother with formalities.
He felt that in front of a stubborn and arrogant person like Kui Si, there was no need to be polite.
"You don't have to be polite." Kui Si said, "I am a person, one is one, two is two.
What I said at the Tiandō League was not for you, but for myself. "
Following that, Kui Si said, "You want to trade the fourth stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship with me, what are you willing to pay?"
Yang Dingtian was momentarily stunned. Kui Si had actually skipped the second, third, and directly went to the fourth.
After calming himself down, he still said respectfully, "I'm willing to give you a Cosmos Ring. With this Cosmos Ring, it can reflect all the damage. Of course, the limit is the highest cultivation of the wearer."
This ring was originally prepared for Song Xiao.
But Song Xiao had fallen out with him, so he decided to give it to Kui Si.
"Oh, you couldn't give this ring to Song Xiao and now you're giving it to me." Kui Si said indifferently, "Do you think that I, Kui Si, can't compare to Song Xiao?
You're only giving it to me because he doesn't want it anymore? "
Yang Dingtian bowed and said, "I wouldn't dare!"
Then, Yang Dingtian said, "In fact, I wasn't even going to take out this ring.
Because I respect Senior Kui Si's character, I decided to directly ask for the fourth stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art.
The only thing I can give you is my respect, my favor, and my promise.
But you asked me what I was going to use in exchange, so I can only give you this Cosmos Ring for now. "
Then, Yang Dingtian continued, "This time, I came to Earth Splitting City not for the fourth stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, but to form an alliance with the great Earth Splitting City to fight against the Evil ways!"
"Forming an alliance with Cloud Sky City?" Kui Si said indifferently, "What can Earth Splitting City get?"
Yang Dingtian was stunned again. Why was Kui Si having such an attitude?
But, Yang Dingtian still said seriously, "Earth Splitting City will get my most loyal friendship."
"You're too hypocritical. Be more direct." Kui Si said.
"After forming an alliance, I will advance and retreat together with Earth Splitting City. We'll live and die together.
If Earth Splitting City encounters any danger, I, Yang Dingtian, and Cloud Sky City will do our best, even if we have to pay with our lives. "
Yang Dingtian said hot-bloodedly, "Moreover, I'm about to set up the Xuan Energy Condensation Purification Array. Earth Splitting City will unconditionally enjoy half of it.
When Earth Splitting City is attacked, no matter how far away it is, Cloud Sky City will do our best to fight alongside Earth Splitting City! "
Yang Dingtian's intense and fiery voice resonated throughout the entire main hall.
He didn't talk about money or treasures. He felt that it was shameful to say these things.
But, he was willing to give the most precious thing. That was his promise.
Maybe to others, these words were hypocritical.
But to Yang Dingtian, these were the limits of what he could give.
"Without a doubt, Sir Yang Dingtian, I believe in the sincerity of your words." Kui Si said, "But, I don't think Earth Splitting City needs to form an alliance with you.
No one can do anything to Earth Splitting City, and no one can attack Earth Splitting City.
Even if it's Evil ways, even if it's the Legion of Doom. "
Kui Si said arrogantly, "Earth Splitting City has the most complicated terrain in the world.
It has the most powerful aerial army in the world.
My underground city will never be broken. It will never be defeated.
So, we don't need to form an alliance with anyone! "
Then, Kui Si looked at Yang Dingtian from the darkness and said, "City Lord Yang Dingtian, I respect you very much. I also admire your sincerity and bravery.
But I don't think you can win this war.
I think you and Cloud Sky City's destruction is a foregone conclusion. So, you can't help Earth Splitting City in the future.
The so-called Profound Qi Condensation Purification Array can't be built either.
I don't think you have any hope of winning in this hopeless war. "
"Of course, respected City Lord Yang Dingtian, I'm willing to give you unlimited blessings. I'm also willing to give you a Golden Claw Demon Eagle.
But, forget about the alliance. Earth Splitting City doesn't rely on anyone.
There's also no need to talk about borrowing troops. "
Kui Si said indifferently, "As for the fourth rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, if you can survive this war, then when you come to Earth Splitting City, I'll give it to you unconditionally.
But now, forget about it.
If you're destined to be destroyed, then I don't think you should waste the fourth rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. "
Then, the main hall fell into silence.
Yang Dingtian's heart was ice cold. He really didn't think that it would end like this.
Previously, he was really full of hope for Kui Si.
But, he didn't think that he would be so arrogant, so arrogant, and so stubborn.
"Alright, respected City Lord Yang Dingtian, the war is imminent. I won't keep you as a guest. I believe that everyone in Cloud Sky City is also waiting for you. Please go back." Kui Si smiled and said, "The Golden Claw Demon Eagle that I'm giving you will be waiting for you outside Earth Splitting City."
"Rumble …" Then, the city gate opened.
Outside, a faint light shone in.
Yang Dingtian saw City Lord Kui Si sitting high up in the air again. There were also more than ten Elders of Earth Splitting City around him.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Yang Dingtian with pitiful and apathetic eyes.
Looking at them, they didn't look like humans. Instead, they looked like Buddha statues in the main hall.
At this moment, no words could describe the disappointment in Yang Dingtian's heart.
He endured the incomparable bitterness and anger, bowed deeply towards Kui Si, and then retreated and left.
Because Kui Si and Earth Splitting City didn't owe him anything.
If there was no resonance in his heart, Yang Dingtian couldn't expect to get anything here.
… …
After walking out of Devour City, the leading Demon Eagle Knight immediately came up to Yang Dingtian and looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Yang Dingtian shook his head bitterly.
Suddenly, the Demon Eagle Knight's expression darkened and said bitterly, "I'll send you out."
"Thank you." Yang Dingtian said.
Then, under the protection of dozens of Demon Eagle Knights, Yang Dingtian flew through the long tunnel and came to the huge underground city. He kept flying up and rushed out of Earth Splitting City's crack, and came to the surface.
At this moment, a huge Golden Claw Demon Eagle was flying in circles on the ground.
This was the gift that Kui Si had given to Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly in his heart. He wanted to borrow an army, but the other party gave him one.
This made Yang Dingtian think of some jokes on earth. Someone asked to borrow ten thousand yuan, and the other party directly gave him three hundred yuan and said to take it and spend it, and there was no need to return it.
Yang Dingtian was disappointed and even angry, but he couldn't complain.
He could blame Earth Splitting City for being short-sighted, but he couldn't resent it because the other party didn't owe him anything. On the contrary, Yang Dingtian still owed him a huge favor.
Yang Dingtian didn't want this Golden Claw Demon Eagle. He used a mystical skill and flew towards the north.
This visit, from beginning to end, did not exceed two hours.
He came with great hope, but left with great disappointment.
"I'm sorry." The Demon Eagle Knight said.
"No, it's nothing."
Yang Dingtian: "Remember, in the future, when Earth Splitting City needs me, Yang Dingtian, I will still appear from the northern sky, and I will still fight side by side with Earth Splitting City!"
Immediately, dozens of Demon Eagle Knights' eyes turned hot, and they bowed deeply.
Yang Dingtian flew towards the north at full speed.
… …
After flying for hundreds of miles, there was a vast sea below.
Suddenly, a sharp ship drilled out of the sea, and then it split open, and a person walked out.
A thin and tall young man, dressed in black, with disheveled hair, red eyes, deep eyes, and a high nose.
"I am Earth Splitting City's Young Lord Kui Ning. Greetings to City Lord Yang Dingtian." The thin young man bowed and said: "Can I invite City Lord Yang Dingtian to come down for a chat?"
Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned, and then he landed on the strange ship.
"Please!" Kui Ning said, and then he went into the cabin.
Yang Dingtian also followed.
Immediately, the strange ship drilled into the sea again.
This strange ship was not big, and it was very similar to the submarines on Earth. It also had two pointed ends, and it was convenient to sneak under the sea.
In the narrow cabin, Kui Ning bowed and said: "This is a matter of great importance, so Kui Ning can only wait here for City Lord Yang Dingtian."
Yang Dingtian said in shock: "What happened?
I was in Earth Splitting City just now, why didn't Young Lord ask to meet me there? "
Kui Ning said: "May I ask City Lord Yang, why did you come to my Earth Splitting City this time?"
"Alliance, borrow troops!" Yang Dingtian: "Unfortunately, your father has already rejected. He is very arrogant."
"May I ask City Lord Yang Dingtian, what are you willing to pay for the alliance and borrowing troops?" Kui Ning asked.
Yang Dingtian: "I will give everything I have, and I will become the most loyal ally of Earth Splitting City.
As long as Earth Splitting City upholds justice, I will never betray them.
In the future, as long as Earth Splitting City needs help, no matter who or what forces threaten Earth Splitting City or invade Earth Splitting City, I, Yang Dingtian, will give everything I have to fight side by side with Earth Splitting City, even if it costs me my life! "
Yang Dingtian spoke each and every word passionately. He repeated this oath that sounded extremely hypocritical but was actually extremely sincere.
Inside the cabin, there was not a single sound!
After a long time, Kui Ning said: "I believe your words, Earth Splitting City is willing to form an alliance with you!
We are willing to lend troops! "
Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, young City Lord, but your father has already rejected."
"That person is not my father."
Kui Ning said in a trembling voice: "In fact, ever since my father left Eastern Cloud State, he has completely disappeared.
I had no choice but to ask the Cloud Sky Pavilion for help, and they sent out a few hundred secret submarines to search everywhere.
They did not find any trace of my father! "
Yang Dingtian immediately shivered as he hissed, "City Lord Kui Si has gone missing?"
If that was the case, then it would be a huge blow to the forces of justice.
The worst case scenario would be that Kui Si had already fallen into the hands of the Temple of Annihilation.
"However, perhaps the situation has not reached the worst yet."
Kui Ning said: "In fact, the Evil ways' emissary, Wu Mozhi, came to Earth Splitting City to negotiate and bribe us. He offered a huge price in exchange for us to send troops to attack Cloud Sky City, even if it was just a symbolic attack.
Therefore, I am guessing that my father has not fallen into their hands. Otherwise, they would not have offered such a high price. "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
However, if Kui Si had not fallen into the hands of the Evil ways, then where had he gone?
One had to know that his cultivation was infinitely close to that of a Grandmaster. There were not many people in the world who could kill him.
Kui Ning continued: "In order to not affect the morale of the troops, we have always claimed that my father has returned to Earth Splitting City.
Therefore, the person who spoke to you just now was actually my father's substitute. "
Yang Dingtian immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
He felt that it was strange. Kui Si should not be such an arrogant and short-sighted person.
Although he had an intense temperament, he was definitely not a shallow person.
Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised: "Then, the attitude in the main hall just now was also fake?
Earth Splitting City is willing to lend troops and is willing to join the alliance? "
"No!"
Kui Ning said: "Everything that my father's substitute said just now was true. It was the attitude of the Earth Splitting City's Elders Guild.
They are currently facing great pressure. Although they have not agreed to the Evil ways' request, they definitely do not dare to ally with you and openly oppose the Evil ways.
My father's disappearance has caused them to feel unprecedented fear. "
Following which, Earth Splitting City's Young Lord Kui Ning continued: "When the news of my father roaring at the Tiandō League spread, he immediately disappeared.
Earth Splitting City entered its most tense and most fearful period.
We knew that when you heard the news of the Tiandō League, you would definitely come to Earth Splitting City to request for an alliance.
Therefore, after some discussion, they decided to reject your request.
Then, they waited for you to come knocking on their door. "
Yang Dingtian nodded: "I can understand."
Kui Ning said: "When my father went to participate in the Tiandō League, he once told me solemnly that if there was a day where he could not return, if he lost all traces of him, I would not look for him.
He told me not to look for him and not to panic. He told me to lead the Demon Vulture Army to Cloud Sky City to participate in the war.
He said that if you won, he would have a chance to live.
If you lost, then Earth Splitting City was destined to be destroyed. "
Yang Dingtian's heart trembled. He did not expect that under Kui Si's stubborn face, there would be such a farsighted and brave vision.
Kui Ning continued: "Therefore, I once argued with the Elders Guild to request for an alliance with Cloud Sky City and to send troops to participate in the war.
However, the conservative and fearful Elders Guild still rejected my suggestion.
Therefore, when I knew that you came to Earth Splitting City, I knew that you would definitely be rejected. Therefore, I waited for you here. "
Yang Dingtian bowed deeply once again and said: "Thank you, Young City Lord."
"City Lord Yang Dingtian, I am willing to lead a thousand Demon Vulture Army to Cloud Sky City and fight alongside you!"
Kui Ning bowed deeply and said: "From now on, until the war ends, I will obey any of your orders!"
Yang Dingtian's heart was surging with emotions. He did not say anything and could only bow deeply.
A thousand Demon Vulture Army was more than enough. It was better than Yang Dingtian's expectations.
He originally thought that even if he borrowed a few hundred Demon Vulture Army, it would be enough.
After all, this was the trump card of Earth Splitting City and there were only about three thousand of them.
Moreover, Earth Splitting City was also very dangerous. This trump card army still had to protect the entire Earth Splitting City and even the entire Southern Yingzhou.
A thousand Demon Vulture Cavalry was enough to destroy the ten thousand Golden Eagle Army in the Eagle Nest.
It was even enough to deal a devastating blow to the hundreds of thousands of ground troops.
This thousand Demon Vulture Army was enough to turn the tide of the war.
Following that, Kui Ning said with a bitter face: "But there is bad news. Because of father's influence, we all secretly hoped to go to Cloud Sky City to participate in the war.
Therefore, the Elders Guild took away all of our Commander's Seals.
I can't even mobilize a team of Demon Vulture Cavalry now, so I have to think of a way to steal the Commander's Seal from the Elders Guild. Without the Commander's Seal, no one can mobilize a Demon Vulture Cavalry. "
Yang Dingtian: "Then, where is the Commander's Seal now?"
"In the secret room of the Devouring Fortress's Elder Pavilion, it is locked in an invulnerable Bloody Black Gold Box. Thirteen elders are guarding it day and night." Kui Ning said: "Of these thirteen elders, five are Masters and eight are Nine-star Revered Martial Artists.
Therefore, there is almost no possibility of stealing it! "
Yang Dingtian: "How big is that Bloody Black Gold Box?"
"Five inches square." Kui Ning said.
"Then do you have an identical Bloody Black Gold Box in your hands?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"I do have it, my father used it to store other treasures." Kui Ning said: "I can take it out."
"Good, then when will the Elders Guild's secret room be opened?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"My mother has the authority to open it and check inside!" Kui Ning said.
Yang Dingtian: "Then it's fine, I have a way to take out the Commander's Seal.
But first, you have to give me the identical Bloody Black Gold Box. "
"You have a way?
How is that possible? "
Kui Ning said: "No matter how high your cultivation is, you can't take away the Commander's Seal in front of the thirteen elders without anyone knowing."
Yang Dingtian said firmly: "I can."
"It's best not to take any risks, and you can't make a move." Kui Ning said.
"If there is no risk, I will definitely not make a move." Yang Dingtian said.
Kui Ning said in shock: "Then I can't imagine any way to do this."
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath, then used the Invisibility Xuan Skill, and instantly disappeared from Kui Ning's sight.
Immediately, Kui Ning looked at all this in disbelief!
… …
Devour Castle's Elder Pavilion.
The thirteen elders sat cross-legged around a secret room.
An incomparably powerful aura enveloped every inch of space.
Not to mention anyone, even a fly would not be able to escape from their aura lock.
Indeed, as Kui Ning said, no one would be able to take away the Commander's Seal under the eyes of these thirteen elders.
The mature and dignified City Lord's wife walked in leisurely.
"Open the secret room, I want to check if the Commander's Seal exists." The City Lord's wife said indifferently.
"Yes!" The thirteen elders said indifferently.
Then, four of them stepped forward, took out four keys, and opened the door of the secret room in the middle.
"Rumble!" The ground cracked open, this was the passage to the secret room.
The entire secret room was only four to five square meters, completely embedded in the ground. The door of the secret room was made of gold steel, and was four to five chi thick.
Then, the four elders followed the City Lord's wife, and walked into the secret room together.
Of course, Yang Dingtian also entered together.
This stealth mystic skill was extremely heaven-defying. In the isolated space, no matter how powerful it was, it would not be able to detect any aura of Yang Dingtian.
After the City Lord's wife carefully inspected the secret room, she nodded to the four elders, then turned and walked out.
After the four elders confirmed that the Commander's Seal was hidden in the bloody black gold box, they also turned and walked out.
And Yang Dingtian stayed in the secret room.
After the City Lord's wife and the four elders left, the thick door of the secret room closed again.
Yang Dingtian did not appear, but quickly took the bloody black gold box with the Commander's Seal into his isolated space.
At the same time, he quickly prepared an identical bloody black gold box, and put it in its original place.
Yang Dingtian's speed was incomparably fast, and his movements were incomparably small.
It was almost completed in less than 0.1 seconds, and the movement caused was definitely smaller than a mosquito.
However, the monitoring of the thirteen elders was incomparably powerful.
Even so, the movement was smaller than a mosquito flying by, but it immediately alarmed the five elders.
The five people's expressions changed, and they immediately stood up and checked every corner of the space.
Of course, they could not find any movement.
Then, they immediately opened the secret room and carefully checked the bloody black gold box.
In the secret room, there was no movement, no life, and no energy aura.
They were very confident that in such a small environment, even if a hair fell, they could lock onto it.
And the bloody black gold box did not change at all.
"It's okay, we almost became frightened birds." The Great Elder laughed at himself, and then the five of them left the secret room.
Of course, before they left, Yang Dingtian had already gone invisible.
…
"Did you get it?" Kui Ning asked nervously.
Yang Dingtian nodded and directly took out the bloody black gold box.
Then, Yang Dingtian condensed the Mystic Fire and slashed it.
It easily opened the bloody black gold box.
A Commander's Seal carved from an energy crystal lay there quietly, releasing a unique energy aura.
"City Lord Yang, leave immediately and wait for me on the surface of the sea."
Kui Ning said excitedly, "I will go to the barracks now. At most an hour, I will lead the Demon Vulture Army and appear in front of you!"
"Okay!" Yang Dingtian turned invisible and quickly left Splitting Earth City!
…
On the surface of the sea, Yang Dingtian was still invisible, quietly floating on the sea.
He waited quietly.
Waiting for the overlord of the sky, waiting for the Demon Vulture Army that was about to belong to him.
Suddenly, the surrounding air trembled violently, and the entire sea shook violently.
Then, the sky suddenly darkened!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Countless sounds of air whistling.
Countless sounds of air exploding.
Densely packed, the Demon Vulture Army.
Like thousands of fighter jets, they instantly streaked across the sky.
Covering the sky and covering the sun, the world was dark.
"Whoosh!" Yang Dingtian suddenly appeared.
Kui Ning suddenly waved his hand, and the flying Demon Vulture Army instantly froze.
In the air, they formed an incomparably sharp formation, as if they were frozen in an instant.
This was the overlord of the sky, flying like the wind and still like a mountain.
"City Lord Yang Dingtian, the First Army of the Splitting Earth City Demon Vulture Army requests to join the righteous alliance army, please accept!" Kui Ning shouted loudly, and then raised a golden token sword high above his head!
"Welcome to the righteous army, welcome to the Tiandō League Alliance Army."
Yang Dingtian raised the golden token sword high and said loudly, "I order, the First Army of the Demon Vulture Army, target Cloud Sky City, advance at full speed!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
In an instant, a thousand Demon Vulture Army, like lightning, streaked across the sky, tearing through the air, whistling towards the northwest direction of Cloud Sky City!
This overlord of the sky would cause a devastating blow to the evil army of the Temple of Annihilation in the war!
