In the year 211 of the Gregorian calendar, in Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Yang Hongyuan and Ziyuan began to hear about the reputation of Zhijia and Zhiyao since they entered Lianjun.
The reputation of the Yan County we visited is even better. Although the Zhi Family has projected a lot of power in Lian County, its foundation is in Yan County.
Since the opening of the Sangzhou Eternal Forest in the 160th year of the Gregorian Calendar, Zhiyao Master took advantage of the two Tiangang Masters of Han and Wei to die and get injured.
Under his vertical and horizontal control, there were large and small forces in the two counties of Ping and Yanlian, and they suppressed the three famous families of Deng, Wei, and Han internally.
Under his leadership, after more than fifty years of painstaking development, the Yan Lian Sect has now become a powerful force that spans Yan and Lian counties and covers an area of 14 counties.
The two counties of Yan and Lian each left one county as a buffer area with the two Tao realm sects, Yanyang Gate in Ju County and Zhenyang Palace in Deng County. Compared with the heyday of Yan Lian Sect in history, it was still far beyond.
As Zhiyao Zhenren and Zhijia, who control most of the power of the Yanlian Sect, how powerful they are can be understood by looking at the time when someone Cao held the emperor hostage to order the princes.
At the beginning, Zhiyao Zhenren first claimed land from the three families of Deng, Wei, and Han, and then began to suppress the remaining forces in Yanlian and Lian counties. He did not stop until the large and small forces in the two counties were reduced to only one county.
It can be said that Master Zhiyao seized a good opportunity with his expansion. The Jinwu Sect, a Taoist sect in Huang County, not only lost a Taoist ancestor, but also lost a Taoist weapon.
The strength of the Golden Crow Sect has been greatly damaged. In the past, Zhenyang Palace, which had a lot of grudges against it and was always at a disadvantage, could not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
Although the battle between Yan and Lian counties was lively, there was no Taoist realm in charge, so how could they be taken seriously? Suppressing the Jinwu sect was naturally the top priority.
The reason why the Yanyang Sect was indifferent to Lianjun's matter was because it obtained the fifth-ranked hibiscus branch among the fire treasures in the ancient dense forest.
It was just when the other forces in Yanzhou were wary of him, and it was too late to keep a low profile, so how could he interfere in Lianjun's affairs at this time.
It is proper to guard your own house well, protect the hibiscus branches, the most precious treasure in the fire, and improve your own strength.
If it can be used to create another Dao Realm monk, or enable the master's cultivation to further advance to the Huagai Realm, then it will be considered effective.
As for the matter of Lianjun, his opinion is the same as that of Zhenyang Palace. Let's wait until a Taoist monk comes out first!
What's more, Zhiyao Zhiyao acted in a measured manner. Each of the two counties of Yanlian left one county as a buffer area, so the two Taoist sects naturally did not want to cause trouble again at this time.
What's more, without the pressure from the two Dao Realm sects, the Yan Lian Sect itself would probably cause trouble.
No matter who wins at that time, the two Dao Realm sects will only need to support one force again to compete with each other. What will happen to the two Yanlian counties?
After Master Zhiyao expanded the Yan Lian Sect's power to the greatest extent, he also understood the principle of giving up when things were good and began to consolidate the foundation.
Although Master Zhiyao has advanced to the Tai Gang Realm not long ago, his strength has grown quite rapidly, and he doesn't know what kind of opportunity he got in the Eternal Forest of Sangzhou.
However, as the old saying goes, a country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change. After Master Zhiyao broke through in seclusion twenty years ago, he couldn't help but cause trouble again.
It was also God who helped Zhiyao, and the Wei and Han families began to accumulate strength after the death of their old Tiangang Realm patriarch.
It is hoped that with the help of secret techniques and a large amount of resources, the family will be able to promote a real Tiangang person as soon as possible.
The two families were able to quickly gather enough resources by carving up the Fan family's resources. Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough.
Not only did the last two family owners fail to advance successfully, but they also wasted a lot of resources in vain.
Fortunately, the two new heads of the family were fine. Although the breakthrough failed, they finally saved their lives.
Under this situation, the Han and Wei families did not dare to compete with the Zhi family, and they tolerated everything in order to protect themselves.
It seems that the Deng family did not dare to embarrass the Zhi family because of the disappearance of Master Shanshi. They relied on Master Lieshi and Master Tiangang to stay in a corner and never interfered with the affairs of the Yanlian Sect.
This made Master Zhiyao and the Zhi family become more and more arrogant, and the family became the dominant one.
In the 190th year of the Gregorian calendar, Zhiyao Zhiyao, who had been practicing hard in seclusion for a long time, came out and was thinking about whom to attack.
The previous request for land from the three families of Deng, Wei, and Han may have angered the three families. If we attack the three families again, I am afraid that the third civil war of the Yanlian Sect is not far away.
Nowadays, although Master Zhiyao is the only Tai Gang monk, and the strength of the Zhi family is not what it used to be, if the three families unite, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose.
What's more, even if the Zhijia wins in the end, it may be a tragic victory, so the current good situation may collapse immediately.
Master Zhiyao would naturally not be so unwise, so his idea naturally hit several masters of the same lineage of Yanlian Sect.
If this force can be weakened, the constraints on Zhiyao Zhenren and the Zhi family will naturally be reduced.
In the 192nd year of the Gregorian calendar, Master Yan Lian first went out and was attacked and seriously injured and returned home. Soon after, he passed away in a sitting position.
Subsequently, the top disciple of his Xuan Gang Realm also disappeared for no reason, and his life and death were unknown. The position of leader of the Yan Lian Sect was taken over by the only remaining member of his lineage, Zhenren Ju Gang.
As soon as the incident happened, the three families of Deng, Wei, and Han knew very well that it must be Master Zhiyao who took action.
In the past, it was okay when Master Yanlian was around. After all, he was Master Tiangang, and Master Zhiyao would not go too far.
Now the head of the Yanlian Sect is just a real person from Jugang, and has become a veritable puppet. Every time the sect discusses matters, he has no voice at all.
Although Master Zhiyao is the great elder, he almost controls most of the power of Yan Lian Sect.
As soon as this incident came out, the Wei and Han families originally wanted to unite with the Deng family and attack the Zhi family. At least they could not allow the Zhi family's power to further expand in the Yanlian Sect.
But for some reason, the Deng family remained unmoved. If the Deng family remained unmoved, the Han and Wei families had more than enough intentions but no strength, so they could only watch Master Zhiyao do whatever he wanted.
Since the opening of the Eternal Forest in Sangzhou, the Han and Wei families have been puzzled by a series of actions of the Deng family.
When Master Zhiyao wanted to seize the land, as long as the Deng family took the initiative, the Wei and Han families as well as Master Yan Lian at that time would have responded. It was not difficult for the four families to join forces to contain the Zhi family at that time.
After all, although the Zhi family is powerful, the combined strength of the four families can still win, but the Deng family just complies.
Twenty years later, the strength of the head of the Yan Lian Sect was greatly reduced, and the power of the Zhi family further expanded. If the three families of Deng, Wei, and Han did not join forces, they would be annexed one by one.
The heads of the Wei and Han families did not believe that the Deng family did not understand this truth. Do they really think that by focusing on farming and not caring about worldly affairs, they could avoid being annexed by the Zhi family?
The Han and Wei families secretly inquired with each other many times, but the Deng family did not say a word, making the two families anxious and angry.
If the Deng family doesn't move, how can the Han and Wei families dare to go against the Zhi family?
At the moment, I can only endure it while secretly accumulating strength, hoping that a real Tiangang will appear in the family as soon as possible, and the family inheritance can be protected.
After eliminating the forces of the leader of the Yanlian Sect, Zhiyao Zhiyao was ready for the three families to counterattack, but nothing happened.
At first, Master Zhiyao thought that the three families had some plans, but after a few years, Master Zhiyao became relieved.
I couldn't help but feel complacent in my heart. The three families were so short-sighted, but they were nothing to be afraid of.
Of course, the Zhijia at this time is still not strong enough to annex the next three families. Since the three families are so sensible, let them survive for a few more years.
After that, under the leadership of Zhiyao Zhenren, the Zhijia no longer forced the three families of Deng, Wei, and Han, and created a posture in which the Zhijia was willing to live in harmony with the three families.
This is presumably the purpose of the Deng family, and it is also what the Wei and Han families want to see. Master Zhiyao thinks he has the pearl of wisdom in his hands, so he naturally has to perform well.
As long as the Zhijia settles down for more than ten years and digests the gains from these years of attacks, its power will definitely increase greatly. Even if the three families join forces, the Zhijia will not be afraid.
When the right opportunity comes, it will be time to wipe out the three families in one fell swoop and unify the two counties of Yanlian.
After that, seeing the Zhi family disappear, the Wei and Han families felt a little relieved and began to develop their own power.
However, the Deng family has always turned a blind eye to all the disturbances from the outside world and focused on developing and strengthening its own power, which made the Wei and Han families secretly criticize the plan for their lack of strategy!
Don’t you know that this was exactly what the Zhijia family wanted? How could the Deng family, which occupied less than three counties, accumulate and develop in comparison with the Zhijia family who occupied almost eight counties and one county at this time?
The Deng family has grown in strength in recent years, but the Zhi family has not developed faster.
If Yang Hongyuan was not around, it would be unwise for the Deng family to do this.
But the Deng family cannot compare with the Zhi family in terms of development. Could it be that the Yang family cannot compare with them?
The Zhi family needs time, and the Yang family needs time even more. As time goes by, the strength gap between the Deng family and the Zhi family is getting bigger and bigger, but the strength of the Zhi family and the Yang family is also getting bigger and bigger.
What's more... hehe!
The Zhi family is so aggressive and blindly expands its territory. Wouldn't it be nice for the Deng family to punish the people and accept the Zhi family's territory in the name of benevolence and righteousness?
I hate that I press gold thread every year just to make wedding clothes for the Deng family!
Various sects in Yuzhou have raised rich people as pigs for many years, and now Yang Hongyuan also wants to practice this famous wedding dress magic skill.
As early as a few years ago, as Master Zhiyao came out of seclusion again, the Zhi family began to change their attitude, and the people they targeted were the Deng family, which had always been low-key.
The Wei and Han families were happy to watch the joke. In the past, the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were, but now they have taken action against you. It depends on whether you are in a hurry or not.
The Deng family's response was once again beyond expectations. It was just one word, endure!
Facing all kinds of difficulties from the Zhi family, the Deng family is like an old turtle that just doesn't stand up.
In recent years, under the attack of the Zhi family, the Deng family has completely withdrawn from Zhonglian County.
The Han and Wei families were worried and angry about this, but the Deng family acted like nothing happened.
Faced with the Deng family's retreat, Master Zhiyao could not attack without reason, and at the same time, he was alert in his heart.
After all, Zhiyao Zhiyao had noticed the performance of the Han and Wei families.
What's more, the Yanyang Gate in Ju County and the Zhenyang Palace in Deng County would probably not watch the Zhi family destroy the three families.
Both Taoist sects only occupy one county. How can your Zhi family occupy two counties? What's more, the Deng family's behavior must be weird.
In this way, Master Zhiyao regarded the Deng family as a serious threat, but if he wanted to completely destroy the Deng family, he still needed an opportunity.
And this opportunity has now arrived. One of the nine secret places in the world of cultivation, the Earth Fire Abyss Hell located under Fen County in Yanzhou, is about to open.
In order to suppress the eruption of the earth's fire lava and at the same time search for the treasures contained therein, the ancestors of several Tao realm sects will also go there, which is a God-given opportunity.
