Chapter 541: Chess Rules(2/2)
But the future that Zhou Ming sees now is that in two or three hours, the heavenly soldiers will have arrived at Shituoling.
Great cause and effect!
Zhou Ming's eyes glowed, and he looked at Li Jing's situation through the line of cause and effect, and got a lot of information.
It turned out that the battle last night attracted the attention of Heaven. After Li Jing learned of the situation, he decided to send troops in advance.
Zhou Ming was not surprised by this.
Although the previous conquests in heaven were always separated by one or two months, this was only a general rule. The specific number of days was never fixed.
Generally speaking, as soon as the Jade Emperor gave the order, Li Jing started to prepare, and when he was ready, he could go out.
After Li Jing learned about the battle last night, he thought that the dragon demon was probably injured. Even if he was not injured, it would have consumed a lot of money, so he decided to dispatch early and not give the dragon demon time to recover.
But he still underestimated Zhou Ming after all.
"The specific time is...two hours later!"
Zhou Ming locked the time with the Black Sky Eye and stretched out his hand to throw out dozens of streams of light. A moment later, the Bull Demon King, Jiugong Zhenren and other senior officials from Shituoling all arrived at the Dragon Demon Palace.
"King!"
"Well, the situation has changed. The army from heaven will arrive in two hours and prepare to fight immediately."
The demons were stunned when they heard this, and wanted to ask Zhou Ming how he knew.
But in the end, no one said anything, they cupped their fists and accepted the order, then turned around and flew out of the Dragon Demon Palace, and went busy.
Zhou Ming did not follow, but turned around and went to a luxurious cell on the side of the Dragon Demon Palace.
The cell contains Nezha, the great god of the Santan Haihui.
Although he was a prisoner, Zhou Ming never treated Nezha badly and served him delicious food and drinks every day. After more than half a year, Nezha didn't lose any weight at all, and even gained some weight.
Because of this kind of treatment, when Nezha saw Zhou Ming, he didn't look like he was gnashing his teeth in hatred. Instead, he was very indifferent.
"Why do you have time to see me?"
Zhou Mingdao: "I'm not here to see you, I'm here waiting for someone."
Nezha smiled and said: "Who are you waiting for? You are the king of Shituoling. If you want to see someone, you can just give an order and call over. Why do you have to wait?"
"The person I'm waiting for is not from Shitou Ridge. On the contrary, he is from Heavenly Court... no, it should be said from Dao Sect."
"Huh? Why do people from the Taoist sect come here?"
"Of course he will come. After all, his apprentice is detained here."
"You mean my master will come to save me?!"
Nezha's face lit up, but he suddenly realized something was wrong: "No, how did you know that my master would come to save me?"
Zhou Ming sneered and said, "Guess!"
Nezha stood in the cell, his expression changing continuously.
According to the ancient covenant, the heaven does not allow gods to go down to the lower world privately.
In this way, if his master Taiyi Zhenren wants to save him, there are only two ways to go.
One, join the heavenly army to conquer.
But there is a problem here. If the Heavenly Court wants to crusade, it will indeed release a lot of information to become famous and intimidate, but Taiyi Zhenren is not a member of the Heavenly Court. Even if he joins the army, it will not be publicized.
And based on his father's personality, with the strong support of Taiyi Zhenren, he will definitely act as a trump card and try to keep it secret as much as possible, so it is impossible to directly publicize it.
But the dragon demon actually knew about this, which meant that there was a traitor communicating with him in Heaven, and this traitor had a very high status.
The second method is to violate the rules of heaven and go down to the lower realms privately.
However, Master Taiyi is not a fool. He must know that this kind of thing cannot be disclosed openly and must be top secret.
If this is the case, it would be even worse. It means that the existence behind the dragon demon is extremely terrifying, and has nothing to do with their Taoist sect, or even has a grudge...
"Master..."
Nezha is trapped in prison and can't do anything he wants to do now. He can only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that Master will not choose the second way.
Two hours passed by in a flash, and the heavenly army arrived. The 3.2 million heavenly soldiers directly filled the entire sky, completely blocking even the sunlight and casting a deep shadow.
Here at Shituoling, after several battles, although Zhou Ming deliberately maintained it and continued to collect demons around him, in the past two months, all the demon slayers were forcibly recruited. Even so,
Just increase the number of the army to 1.2 million.
Among them, there are still 400,000 belonging to the little demons and demon slayers, and only 800,000 can truly become soldiers of the demon army.
Facing 3.2 million heavenly soldiers, the demon army is at a complete disadvantage.
Mid-level and high-level experts generally have to face two to three divine generals, which is also an absolute disadvantage.
As for the top layer, it's pretty much the same.
Just like the future that Zhou Ming had seen before, Master Jiugong faced off against Lei Zu, and Bull Demon King faced off against Erlang Shen. The winner might not be decided in a short time.
