"Why do you Zhenxing Island want to run for the Ten Lands? It should be because you are not satisfied with the current positioning. Although you are strong in the East China Sea, it is because of the care of Penglai. It is also because of Penglai Shangzong that you were eliminated by Tianxing Zhumai

If we work together to target them, we will never be able to penetrate the land of Kyushu."

"But even Penglai's power is resisted by various factions and cannot expand to Kyushu. Even if you fight for ten lands, how can you still stretch out your hands? Therefore, your position as Penglai Eagle Dog has been firmly framed.

There is no way to change it.”

"but……"

"I'm not talented, but I can help you change the current situation."

Chu Liang's voice was full of confusion, and Hong Jufeng was stunned for a moment. This was not a magical power like Master Yinghuo's, but simply because it was said to his heart.

As a younger generation on Zhenxing Island, Hong Jufeng was indeed bored with this kind of life that he could only live in a corner of the East China Sea.

Each sect in the world of cultivating immortals actually has its own general sphere of influence. Within this scope, they can participate in the competition for secret realms, treasures or cave heavens. Tasks such as demons and evil spirits will also be given priority. Even if there are disputes, they will occur in adjacent areas.

Between the fairy gates.

If a distant sect comes to snatch these, it will be regarded as crossing the boundary.

The smaller one covers three mountains and five lakes, while the larger one covers one state.

The sphere of influence of the Ten Earth Sects is probably one of the Four Regions, and they usually do not leave their own region to move to other places. Only the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect can generally go to any corner of the four seas and nine states by default.

Chu Liang and the others were originally accepting missions at Changing Sword Pavilion. Although most of them were close to the southern region, they would occasionally travel all over the country. In fact, this was unimaginable for some disciples of small sects.

This unlimited expansion of the sphere of influence can also be regarded as one of the resource advantages of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But there are exceptions to this.

For example, the Taiyin Sect, although they are the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, are extremely solitary. Therefore, they rarely leave the corner of the Northern Territory and rarely go out to compete for resources. But similarly, they do not allow outsiders to enter the vicinity of their own area, even if they are both in the Northern Territory.

Neither can the sects. Regarding such behavior of enclosing territory and self-proclaiming, the immortal sects are also happy to do so.

The same goes for the Penglai Sect. Although they have existed as the first immortal sect of the righteous path all year round, they are located in the East China Sea far away from the inland, and their three Penglai islands are the most blessed place in the world, so they do not need to leave the East China Sea.

In addition to being self-sufficient, a large part of the reason why Penglai cannot go ashore is the blockade of Kyushu Immortal Gate.

Led by the imperial court, the Tianxing veins, Shushan, Tiangangmen and other sects have actually been resisting the coming of Penglai forces overtly or covertly. Because everyone knows how powerful it is. Once it is allowed to expand to the land of Kyushu, it is likely that there will be no power.

No one can compete with it anymore.

As long as Penglai is given a territory and allowed to explore the secret realm and recruit immortal cultivation seeds, it will soon be difficult for any other immortal sects to survive except Penglai and its lackeys.

Penglai Shangzong has been stirring things up in secret over the years, using existences like Taotie City and Thunder Castle to infiltrate, in order to break this joint resistance and release his fangs.

Zhenxing Island, as the Penglai Eagle Dog, has certainly gained a lot of dividends in the East China Sea, but it has also eaten a lot of melons, and it has also been squeezed out and difficult to land.

If nothing else, Hong Jufeng was almost vomiting after eating seafood. He was fed up with this kind of life where he could only have a roast leg of lamb every once in a while when his father held a banquet.

Huh?

Speaking of this, Hong Jufeng suddenly remembered that his leg of lamb was still there. It should be cold now...

It's so sad to think about this.

Chu Liang saw that Hong Jufeng's expression suddenly became solemn, and he knew that the other party had listened to his words, so he continued: "If you want to communicate with the land of Kyushu, Hongmian Peak is the best window. I think the first step is

You can use the Zhenshan Stone as a guide to allow the spiritual minerals of Zhenxing Island to flow out and the resources of Kyushu to flow in, deepening the connection with the Immortal Sects and achieving the effect of breaking the ice. With me as the puller, you don’t have to worry about any pressure. I am in the land of Kyushu.

… quite well-connected.”

Hong Jufeng glanced at the ancestor of Mayfly next to him, and said to himself that he was sure.

He hesitated for a moment and asked timidly: "Young Master Chu, it's not that I don't want to. What you said is certainly very good, but the foundation of our Zhenxing Island is still in the East China Sea, and we always have to rely on others..."

"I don't need you to cut off contact with Penglai, but it won't conflict if you have one more person to help you." Chu Liang smiled and shook his head, "I understand your situation. To survive in the East China Sea, you will inevitably consider Penglai as your father. You can take me as your father."

Think of it as...a dear Uncle Wang next door?"

"Hmm..." This metaphor made Hong Jufeng deep in thought.

"But you must know who is dear to you." Chu Liang continued: "I contribute money and help the development of Zhenxing Island. What I want is at least 60% of the income after the acquisition, and the veto power on all matters. Although I

I will not interfere in any affairs of your sect on a daily basis, but at critical moments, our interests must be consistent. You will continue to be your Sect Master, and I will be the Chief Sect Master, do you understand?"

Hong Jufeng looked straight at Chu Liang, his eyes slightly dull. It was obvious that these concepts overloaded his brain.

Although Chu Liang has become more proficient in his techniques after the last negotiation with Huan Lei Sheng, Zhenxing Island is different from Fu Lu Sect after all. They are a serious quasi-tenth sect, so it is normal to have concerns.

"It doesn't matter. I respect any opinion you have, Young Master Hong. You can completely refuse it, or you can give it more consideration." Chu Liang said kindly.

"Ah, then I'll think about it..." Hearing this, Hong Jufeng took advantage of the situation and wanted to buy more time.

It is indeed difficult for him to decide on such a big matter.

Immediately, Chu Liang stood up and greeted the ancestor of Mayfly with a smile, "Senior Mayfly, let them dig it up first, and I will send someone to transport it back in advance later. I still have something to do on the mountain, so I won't follow you.

It’s been a long time.”

Ancestor Mayfly saluted and said: "Young Master Chu, please have a simple meal before leaving. I specially asked you to come here. If you don't receive me well, I will inevitably feel guilty..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hong Jufeng stood up abruptly and said, "These are all broken fish, what's good to eat? Let's finish the conversation first."

Okay.

Judging from Chu Liang's posture, he was planning to turn around and leave if they couldn't reach an agreement.

It's okay if you leave. Hundreds of people like me are still mining here. Should I turn around and ask the old man to let me go? He will most likely feed me another worm and let me continue to drift away.

Let’s mine.

I haven’t eaten my leg of lamb yet!

It was only now that he realized that what Chu Liang had discussed with him were still secondary conditions. The most important condition was... his own life!

It was Chu Liang's tone that was too polite, which made him think that he really had a choice.

"Young Master Chu, I will do as you say." Hong Jufeng said seriously, "I agree to all your conditions!"

When Chu Liang heard this, he sat back slowly and said softly: "You don't even want to call me Mr. Chu."

…

The acquisition of Zhenxing Island cannot be finalized in one day. Chu Liang and Hong Jufeng discussed the general model and then let him go back to Zhenxing Island to prepare.

As for the large army, they are still staying on the quarrying islands as miners. They are both coolies and hostages. If Hong Jufeng wants to immediately go back on his word and seek revenge from Penglai, his sect will probably be lost regardless of whether he can capture the ancestor of Mayfly.

They negotiated and announced to the outside world that Zhenxing Island had recaptured the spiritual mines on the Quarry Islands and would intensify mining. Naturally, the Fuyao Kingdom had no objection, since both Chu and Liang had given money.

All I did was show Penglai.

From now on, Zhenxing Island must secretly cooperate with Hongmianfeng while not destroying the relationship with Penglai. I don’t know if Hong Jufeng can play this role of profit from the two parties, but even if he messes up,

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, when Chu Liang acquired Zhenxing Island, the most important thing was the Zhenshan Stone Spirit Mine. As long as there was a steady stream of spirit mines, Shushan Civil Engineering Hall could start construction with confidence, and it would dare to take on any building of any size.

After returning to Hongmian Peak, Chu Liang heard some big news before he arranged for anyone to deal with these matters.

The first one was that the Ice Soul Sword Sect almost destroyed Xuantian Sha.

It is said that a female disciple of the Ice Soul Sword Sect eloped with a young monk of Xuantian Temple. As a result, the abbot of Xuantian Temple searched the sky and the earth with his Celestial Eye, and found that the female disciple was in his own sect.

Han Qinglin, the headmaster of the Ice Soul Sword Sect, without saying a word, directly led the killing generals in, turning the secret realm that Xuantian had guarded for many years upside down.

In fact, this matter is a bit strange if you examine it carefully. If this matter was really done by Xuantian Cha and Abbot Chiyue really knew about it, how could he possibly explore the secret realm of his family?

If he didn't know, it was a disciple's behavior. At most, he would punish the erring disciple and give the Ice Soul Sword Sect a certain amount of comfort and compensation. This was also the most normal choice.

No matter what, it will not lead to a direct war.

The Ice Soul Sword Sect's drastic choice may have something to do with the general election in the Ten Regions.

Both parties are contenders in this ten-district sect election. Therefore, in addition to rescuing their own disciples, they may also have some thoughts of severely damaging their opponents.

The Ice Soul Sword Sect has indeed achieved its goal. Now Xuantian Temple has become a place of filth and evil in public opinion. In fact, it has been beaten violently. The tranquility of Buddhism for many years has disappeared.

Abbot Chiyue has ordered the secret realm to be closed, and the entire temple will continue to be in retreat indefinitely. It seems that this time the general election will also be withdrawn.

A competitor simply disappears.

I have to say that Han Qinglin's use of excuses this time was quite ruthless. The leader of the Ice Soul Sword Sect was somewhat decisive.

Second, Zhanling Mountain was also beaten.

Originally, several disciples of Zhan Lingshan were beaten by an unknown Confucian cultivator, leaving some threats.

The bad-tempered heroes of Zhanling Mountain put on armor and mounted beasts, and went on an expedition to Yushan Academy. But when they arrived, they found that all the practitioners in the academy had gone, leaving only a group of children studying here.

All the heroes and the children looked at each other. No matter how vicious they were, they would not attack the children. Immediately, a wise man suggested that we wait here.

People from Yushan Academy will always come back.

Even if they don't want the academy, they can't just ignore these students, right?

But the person they were waiting for was not someone from Yushan Academy, but Shen Tuyang, the deputy headmaster of Shenglong Academy.

There is no need to describe the subsequent scenes.

If there were not children present, the scene might have been ten times more bloody and cruel.

It wasn't until the army was beaten to pieces that someone invited the eighth-level powerhouses from the Tiangang Sect to stop them. After the two Tianyuan powerhouses met, it was difficult to take action since they were not mortal enemies.
