Chapter 835 Internal Strife

Li Mu spent two months in seclusion and successfully entered the first level of the Great Sage Realm. After coming out from under the big tree in seclusion, his strength had reached the late stage of the First Level of the Great Sage Realm.

The peak of the first level of the Great Sage Realm is not too far away. The Great Sage Realm is already qualified to become the core true successor of Shanwu. Generally, if the students of the Great Sage Realm do not leave Shanwu, they can not only become the core true successor, but also be named in Shanwu. Enjoy perks from senior mentors, even dean level.

Even if you are willing to work for the Mountain City Alliance military at the same time, you can even receive a generous allowance from the Mountain City Alliance military at the same time.

This means that there is no shortage of resources, power and status. From now on, even in Shanwu, he is a figure at the top of the pyramid. Even the founder of a large sect in Central China or West China cannot compare with him.

After Li Mu came out of seclusion, he immediately sent out a communication talisman to contact Nangong Mingyue. It took half a day for Li Mu to receive a reply from Nangong Mingyue. Nangong Mingyue's reply only wrote a few short words, 'The incident has happened, come soon'.

There is a brief address below these words, allowing Li Mu to quickly go to the direction of the mountain fortress.

"problem occurs!"

Li Mu's face darkened. The handwriting on the communication talisman was quite sloppy. It was obviously written by Nangong Mingyue in a hurry. Something big must have happened to make her so anxious.

"boom!"

Li Mu put away the communication flying talisman, and opened two thunder wings behind him. Then the thunder wings flapped violently, and Li Mu's figure instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and flew directly in the direction of Qinghu Fortress.

A terrifying sonic boom also sounded at this time, and Li Mu's speed directly exceeded the speed of sound in an instant.

Li Mu transformed into lightning and quickly rushed out into the distance, disappearing from the horizon in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the entire mountain city fortress was hit by a shocking news. Everyone was stunned by the news. The mountain city headquarters was busy, and everyone was responding to the news urgently.

Half a day later, the gate of the mountain city facing the Qinghu Fortress opened, and a torrent of steel drove towards the Qinghu Fortress.

"Oh my god, how come the last armored units in our mountain city are all out!"

"Something big has happened, something big has happened, something must have happened to Qinghu Fortress!"

Everyone in the mountain city stared blankly at this scene, with panic on their faces. After the news came out, prices in the mountain city immediately began to skyrocket. All survivors began to hoard food, and even the poorest people would squeeze out Some money to buy food.

The internal affairs department of the mountain city also began to deal with it urgently to stabilize the situation, but the mountain city alliance military did not have time to deal with these matters at all. They had more important things to deal with.

"Eight hundred and thirty-six tanks, three hundred and twenty-five armored vehicles, one thousand six hundred heavy artillery pieces, and one hundred and twenty tornado multi-barrel missile launchers. This is the limit of what the mountain city can provide. I hope these can be used for Qinghu Fortress provides powerful help!”

Standing at the highest point of the mountain fortress, the commander of the mountain fortress murmured to himself.

After the mountain city fortress was established, the entire mountain city fortress originally preserved about four tank divisions and more than 1,500 tanks. However, due to wars, damage to accessories, etc. in recent years, only 836 tanks are left. Being able to retain their combat capabilities, this battle was equivalent to sending out all the remaining armored units in the mountain city at once.

These armored units are not very helpful in defending the mountain city, but without this armored unit, the mountain city's offensive capabilities have been greatly weakened. However, at this time, in order to reinforce Qinghu Fortress, the mountain city alliance military no longer cares about this.

The armored troops of the mountain city came out in full force. At the same time, the major martial arts high schools, monastic high schools, various sects, martial arts schools, and mercenaries composed of snobbish people of all sizes in the mountain city also began to be thrown into the battlefield to directly support the Qinghu Fortress.

The total number of these people, plus the personnel recruited by the major forces, has reached 500,000. More than 500,000 people were organized into two major mercenary armies to assist the Qinghu Fortress.

After the armored troops and mercenary groups were dispatched, everyone in the mountain city understood that the decisive battle for Qinghu Fortress was probably coming soon.

Li Mu activated his Thunder Wings to the extreme, turning them into a bolt of thunder. In the afternoon, he finally arrived at the location mentioned by Nangong Mingyue. Soon he found Nangong Mingyue, Tao Yuewei and others.

There are many other people here. It turns out that Nangong Mingyue has been following Lian Dieyi, Tao Yuewei, and Luo Qingqing on tasks during this period. Tao Yuewei and Yun Feiyang decided to act together after discussion, so dozens of people formed a team to act.

Nangong Mingyue was surprised when she saw Li Mu appearing and rushed over immediately. However, after the surprise, Nangong Mingyue looked panicked and nervous.

"What happened?"

Li Mu asked immediately.

"Something serious has happened, let's go over there and take a look!"

Lian Dieyi, Tao Yuewei and others also looked nervous, pointing to the highest peak in the distance, and several people immediately flew towards the highest peak.

"Senior!"

Seeing Li Mu appear, Yun Feiyang and others immediately came over to greet him, but everyone's expressions were full of solemnity and worry.

"The Qinghu Water Demon is about to launch a general attack. Senior, look over there!"

Lian Dieyi took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of Qinghu Fortress.

Li Mu looked in the direction Lian Dieyi pointed, and his expression suddenly changed, full of shock.

"How is this going?"

Li Mu turned the evil spirit to his eyes and saw a mist of water coming from the distance. On the ground, he could see a turbid flood swallowing up pieces of land.

It felt like a dam had burst and the surging river was swallowing everything.

But there is no dam nearby at all, and this is behind the Qinghu Fortress. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a large amount of water to appear here, but the fact is right in front of him, and Li Mu cannot help but not believe it.

"We have just received news that the ground a hundred miles behind the Qinghu Fortress collapsed, forming a giant lake. According to speculation, this should be the result of the Four Hegemons of Qinghu smashing the underground caves and completely penetrating at least ten of them with supreme demonic magic. An underground river, using the underground river to connect the two thousand miles of Qinghu Lake and the giant lake!"

Nangong Mingyue took a deep breath and said.

"Now the groundwater and water from Qinghu Lake are pouring back and have flooded the surrounding area of ​​Qinghu Fortress. Then the giant lake expanded and is spreading here!"

"What?"

This news completely shocked Li Mu. He did not expect that the Four Hegemons of Qinghu would besiege and refuse to attack Qinghu Fortress for so long since the beginning of the war. They did not want to trap Qinghu Fortress at all, but used Qinghu Fortress to attract everyone's attention. force, and accomplish this feat.

Outside of Qinghu Lake, a second small Qinghu Lake is directly formed. If the conditions are suitable in the future, I am afraid that the four tyrants of Qinghu Lake will merge these small Qinghu lakes into one.

"How big is the lake now?"

Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed down and asked. He had seen the turbid water spreading, but it soon became clear, and some mountain tops were directly submerged. There are many mountains on this side of the mountain city. They are real mountains, not hills. , the altitude of most mountains exceeds 500 meters, and many are above 1,000 meters.

Since those mountains are submerged, it means that the water of Xiaoqing Lake is at least 500 meters deep, and the deepest place is probably far more than this number.

However, Qinghu Fortress should not be a problem for the time being, because Qinghu Fortress is built on a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and there is a high city wall, so it should be impossible to be submerged.

Otherwise, I am afraid that this small clear lake will be directly connected to Qinghu Lake, and the farthest point will extend directly to the foot of the mountain city.

"I don't know. I heard news from other teams that the diameter of this lake is now at least three hundred miles, and it continues to expand. I don't know how big it will be in the end!"

Lian Dieyi said with an extremely serious expression.

"Three hundred miles!"

Li Mu repeated this number to himself, three hundred miles, which is one hundred and fifty miles in diameter. Before the great change of heaven and earth, the largest saltwater lake in the world was the Caspian Sea.

The average width of the Caspian Sea is 320 kilometers, and the length from left to right is about 1,200 kilometers. It is connected to more than 130 rivers. The diameter of this giant lake is now 300 miles. It is unknown whether its final size will be similar to that of the Caspian Sea. How big is the gap? After all, Qinghu is actually not much smaller than Caspian Sea.

"How many days has this lake been here?"

Li Mu didn't believe that the lake appeared in one day. It must have been there for some time.

"This giant lake has appeared for at least three to five days. No one may have noticed it at first. It was only discovered after it expanded rapidly. Then it will take some time for the message to be transmitted, and it will also take some time for verification. Most of us and the The people in the mountain city probably got the news this morning or early in the morning!"

Nangong Mingyue said that she was completely shocked when she heard the news for the first time today.

It turns out that the water monsters have been surrounding the Qinghu Fortress for so long and have been fighting the alliance military on the east and west battlefields. The purpose is to cover up what they want to do. Once this is completed, Qinghu will be really in danger. , I am afraid that the decisive moment of the Battle of Qinghu has come.

Turning Qinghu Fortress into an isolated island, what could be easier to conquer this island?

"The existence of this giant lake will completely reverse the situation of the war. It is hard to say whether the Qinghu Fortress can be defended. Now the mountain city has been fully mobilized. The top masters from all major colleges have been dispatched. Even the first divine king of Shanwu's true inheritance has come. Yes, but I still don’t know where Dao Shenjun is!”

Yun Feiyang said.

"Dao Shenjun?" Li Mu nodded. He had also heard of this name. Dao Shenjun is the number one true disciple of Shancheng Martial Arts University, the first core true disciple. He is the strongest among the students of Shanwu. In other words, let alone As a student, even 99% of Shanwu's mentors are probably no match for him. He enjoys an extraordinary status among Shanwu.

"So, instructor Xiao Rongyu is here too?"

"It's already here. Except for some of the instructors who want to suppress the situation in the mountain town, the rest are already here!"

Tao Yuewei nodded and said.

Now the Demon City side seems to be echoing the Qinghu side. Recently, there are signs of the Demon City being invaded by soldiers. The top experts in the mountain city do not dare to move lightly. Otherwise, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case the Demon City arrives. At that time, they suddenly came out in force and broke the mountain city, which was completely finished.

"Is there any news from Qinghu Fortress? Which of the four Qinghu tyrants is responsible for this huge lake?" Li Mu said after being silent for a while.

There must be something not simple behind such a big move. The one who dares to make this decision and succeeds is probably the most difficult to deal with among the four tyrants of Qinghu.

Tao Yuewei and others all shook their heads. This giant lake had only appeared a few days ago. Even the reason for the appearance of the giant lake was only speculated to be the work of the Four Hegemons of Qinghu. They wanted to know who made the decision and operated this matter. , that is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky. Basically, the spies placed by Shancheng in Qinghu are not very successful.

"Damn it, those water monsters are crazy. They actually created such a huge lake. If this lake is reduced to 10%, how can we still fight against the water monsters?"

At this moment, several more figures flew over. They wore different school uniforms from Yamatake and looked like students from other schools.

"This area is often visited by students from Shanwu. Aren't they known as the number one in the mountain city? They often like to rush to kill monsters. Why didn't they notice the abnormality here in advance? If the abnormality here could have been discovered in advance, the current situation would not be as bad as before. It will be so!”

Another student said with an angry look, as if he wanted to put all the blame on Yamatake's head.

Shanwu students are powerful and their losses in colleges and universities are relatively small, but they have gained a lot of merit points. In addition, in the past two months, there have been endless incidents of people rushing to kill demons and snatch merit points. Therefore, some schools I have been dissatisfied with Shanwu for a long time, and now I am saying this just to vent my dissatisfaction.

"That's right. These are all due to Shanwu's failure to complete their tasks. In my opinion, Shanwu should be punished and their merit points deducted. Doesn't Shanwu also have the Taoist Lord who is known as the number one in the major colleges? I think he also It didn't play a big role, and there was Li Mu before, who was so amazing, but in the temporary headquarters defense battle, he wasn't the big monster from the Fairyland that we, hundreds of thousands of students, worked together to kill. He just shouted a few times. , can it be greater than our contribution?"

Another person said.

"Yes, I heard that Li Mu has been hiding recently and hasn't been seen for two months. He is as cowardly as a mouse. Maybe he has escaped from the battlefield!"

"hateful!"

The expressions of Nangong Mingyue, Tao Yuewei and others suddenly became angry. They turned around and were about to go to the students for comment, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop them.

"A group of short-sighted people who only see meritorious deeds. Don't pay attention to them!" Li Mu said lightly. "The most urgent task now is how to defend the Qinghu Fortress after the giant lake is formed. If the Qinghu Fortress cannot be defended, the western part of the mountain city will be destroyed." It’s smooth sailing!”

These little characters just thought that Li Mu had disappeared for two months and was afraid that he had left the Qinghu area, so they dared to speak like this. If they knew that Li Mu had not left, they would never dare to speak nonsense even if they had ten courages.
