Southwest of Tianli Gate and across the river from Luoying Gate is Zhuojian City.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
In the side hall of the city lord's palace, the aroma of refreshing Luotong wood lingers. The thin and sunken-eyed Jindan monk Zhou Bingyan is sitting at the top. To his left is the prefecture-level monk Mo Haishu, and Mo Haishu is sitting at the bottom.
His colleagues and followers were Zhou Zhenglong, a Jindan monk who also came from Tianlimen, and Jindan Tiesanquan, who was not tall and inconspicuous in appearance; and to his right were Ma Shikai, who had a red face, and his wife, who had a slightly swollen belly.
The pregnant Zhou Yingnan, both of whom are at the golden elixir level, are different from Mo Haishu and the other three. They are not sitting at the side, and Ma Shikai is wandering around the hall, with a sad look on his face and a lot of worries.
"Why panic!"
Zhou Bingyan felt very unhappy when he saw Ma Shikai's appearance. His face felt dull for a moment. He placed the tea cup heavily in his hand and looked at the bald Mo Haishu, "Fellow Taoist Mo, can the Jincheng Sect monk you mentioned be there?"
Will you come as promised?"
"High probability."
"High probability? You promised it before!" Ma Shikai stopped the conversation, "Now that the arrow is on the string and the appointment is broken midway, what should we do?"
"With six of us at the same level, are you still afraid of Tushan, fellow Taoist Ma? Or are you worried that he hides his cultivation or has hundreds of magic weapons?" Mo Haishu ignored Ma Shikai's questioning, his expression did not change, "We have already
After planning for a long time, he is familiar with the terrain here, and with the sudden attack, Tushan will definitely be caught off guard. Even if Taoist Sun Baotai of the Jincheng Sect cannot arrive in time, there is no need to worry. In addition, doesn’t Taoist Zhou have other arrangements?
" He looked at Zhou Bingyan, who was above him. He had said before that he wanted to drag a certain monk from Qi into trouble, but he didn't know how the plan was going.
"Let me tell you, Shikai, please be patient. I know you are upset. In fact, it is because Yingnan is pregnant. I don't want there to be too many variables. Don't worry, I will go to the boss tomorrow morning.
I ask for the 'Infinite Armor of Refined Silk' for you and lend it to Yingnan to use it to protect her."
"Thank you, Elder Zhou!"
After hearing this, Ma Shikai, whose eyes were wandering, felt a little relieved and took a deep breath. He gave his wife Zhou Yingnan a comforting look, and the two of them calmly sat down and listened carefully to Zhou Bingyan's follow-up arrangements.
Gutless guy!
Mo Haishu sneered in his heart, and looked up at the same time. He was a little worried about the lack of a monk, but he was not worried that a few people were not strong enough to fight against Tushan, but that he had other worries.
.
He knew Sun Baotai's abilities. He had just entered the prefectural level. Mo Haishu didn't believe that he could play a key role in the battle with Tushan. What he wanted was Sun Baotai's background. As long as this Jincheng sect monk was
If you are drawn into the battle group, the Jincheng faction will also be drawn into this chaotic situation. No matter whether you win or lose this battle, it will make the situation even more chaotic. For the right envoy, "Tianlimen and Lingcong Chamber of Commerce join hands,
The strategy of "strongly occupying the Seven Alliances" is undoubtedly helpful.
The news about Sun Baotai arrived yesterday.
He mentioned to Mo Haishu that he might not be able to arrive at the designated battlefield as soon as scheduled due to trivial matters, but he would try his best to arrive on the way. Mo Haishu did not believe this unreliable reason because he had Iron Three Springs.
According to the report, Jiang Feng and Su Liqing had already learned about the various entanglements between Jiang Feng and Su Liqing in the southern border of the hometown of Blackwater Gate. While secretly thinking that Su Liqing was cunning, he was also very happy that Su Liqing did not succeed.
"Safely integrate into the Seven Alliance" strategy, but if the Qianshan Sect is rashly annexed by the Jincheng Sect, it will be a big obstacle to one's own side's layout.
The Qianshan Sect can be in chaos, but the winner cannot be the Jincheng Sect. In addition, he also learned that Su Liqing was willing to meet with Dongfang Guild President to achieve in-depth cooperation.
That's fine, but the conclusion of this cooperative relationship should not catch up with the arrangement here. Moreover, as far as I know, it is still unknown whether President Dongfang will visit the Jincheng Sect in person. All affairs in the meeting in the past two years, no matter how big or small,
, are all run by the left envoy Qiu Nanjia and the right envoy Li Longjian. Even he, the eight guardians, has not seen the president for a long time. Presumably, the president still will not come forward on this matter, so the cooperation will probably be
It will fall on Qiu Nanjia or Li Longjian.
In fact, cooperation is not in line with the philosophy of Li Longjian, the right envoy, and the "Hundred Ghost Hall" where he works. Even if his side gets this job, he will probably slow down, find excuses to deliberately delay, and wait for the progress of Tianlimen. It should be noted that war is a deep control.
The only method in the Seven Alliance Region is also the fundamental way for the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce to gain maximum benefits. Mo Haishu fully agrees with this. This is also the fundamental reason why he, regardless of his demon origin, sided with Li Longjian, who was born in the human race.
Thinking of this, he
With the arrival of Sun Baotai, I have lost a lot of expectations in my heart. Either way, it is better to die here, so as to further weaken the power of the Jincheng faction. Whether the cooperation is to proceed quickly or slowly, Qiu Nanjia is responsible
Either Li Longjian is in charge, both have advantages and more leeway.
"Together with the foreign affairs deacon of the State of Qi here, I appeared nearby under the pretext of surveying the terrain near the new courtyard. The intelligence showed that the female Golden Elixir cultivator Yan Shujia urgently needed meritorious service so that she could start her business after returning to the State of Qi.
Therefore, I have suggested in advance to expand the scale of the Qi State's garrison here, and she also expressed interest. When the time comes, all we need to do is lead it to the battlefield."
"What if she doesn't want to help us?"
Tie Sanquan asked from the side. He remembered the struggle between several monks from the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce to contain each other when they ambush Jiang Feng. He thought that similar things must be avoided from happening. Tu Shan is a human race and Yan Shujia is also a human race. If
If there happens to be some friendship, things will not develop as you think.
"Then kill her and put all the blame on Tu Shan." Zhou Bingyan smiled, "I believe that with such a comparison of strengths, Yan Shujia will make the right choice. You can go back to rest. We will meet at 3:00 PM tomorrow evening.
, start on time, tomorrow I will find someone to find a way to create trouble and lure Tushan out of Taoyuan City first."
Everyone stood up together, their eyes solemn. Once the matter was decided, the next step was to prepare in advance. Tushan was not an ordinary Jindan monk, and everyone knew it very well.
Mo Haishu and the other two returned to Guanyi where they lived from the secret passage, and together they planned tomorrow's battle and mutual aid strategy, and then went back to their residences to rest. Mo Haishu couldn't sleep, so he went out and turned left, quietly entering Tiesanquan.
residence.
"Sanquan, there is something I need to confirm with you."
"Is there anything else?" Tie Sanquan hurried back from the Jincheng Sect. When he was tired, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable. He went to the Jincheng Sect to help, but because of the obstruction of fellow monk Liao Shenchang, he didn't get any benefits and instead returned home.
Because I was in such a hurry, I wasted a lot of valuable elixirs.
"Then what happened to Jiang Feng?"
"I don't know about this. At that time, the pseudo-celestial monk Wan Yuting of the Qing Yu Sect had a fierce battle with the headmaster of Tianyin Temple. He took the opportunity to escape. Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng Sect, went after him personally. I did not follow.
I don’t know what happened afterwards.”
snort!
Mo Haishu was a little dissatisfied. He knew that this was a problem that Tie Sanquan wanted to watch the battle between high-level monks and was unwilling to pursue it. Otherwise, Jiang Feng's whereabouts would naturally not be lost. He had learned from Sun Baotai's message that
Su Liqing had returned to Tianyou City and did not mention Jiang Feng, so naturally he ran away.
What a slippery guy.
"It looks like he has run away. This guy must be carrying a rare treasure. Otherwise, how could he easily escape from Su Liqing, who has been at the prefectural level for many years?"
"Huh?" Tie Sanquan's tired eyes suddenly brightened, "Yes, that should be the case." He looked up and saw a clue in Mo Haishu's eyes, "What, you want it?" He made a downward cut.
gesture.
"It's something that happened here. You and I will find a way to find an opportunity to kill it."
"However, we cannot openly kill him in the Qianshan Sect. Once the matter is exposed and there is no suitable excuse, you and I may be wanted by the people of the 'Nine Old Men'. Their Qianshan Sect has canonization documents and can send people
Go out to the 'Nine Old Men' and ask us for forgiveness."
"We can do it near Beimu County." Mo Haishu analyzed. "He is being chased by Su Liqing. He definitely doesn't dare to return through the south road, let alone the Jincheng sect, so he can only take a detour and return through Chixiamen or Luoyingmen.
, but no matter which sect we choose, we must enter from Beimu County. We only need to set up an ambush in the east of Beimu County, and we can naturally kill them. When other sects die, we will capture a few ordinary monks and disguise them as
If you die in a fight, just cover it up. When the time comes, even if they have the canonization documents, they will probably be able to sue these two sects, right?"
"good idea!"
Tie Sanquan, who did not get any benefit from helping Sun Baotai, kept nodding. He thought Mo Haishu's idea was good. Although he knew that the other party must have a hidden purpose behind it, as long as he could get benefits, why not do it?
What? To be able to escape from the earth-level monks, Jiang Feng probably has some secret treasures with him, and he is also a master, so he will not have too few supplies. However, if he wants to succeed in this matter, he must find a way to plan carefully.
That's it. Thinking of this, he, who was already sleepy, actually couldn't sleep after Mo Haishu left.
A guy who only knows his own interests!
Mo Haishu walked forward in the shadow of Guanyi, and his evaluation of Tie Sanquan dropped by another three points. The reason why he was so
The purpose of doing this is to destroy the plan of Qiu Nanjia, the right envoy. Jiang Feng died, and the Qianshan Sect was mostly in chaos. There will definitely be delays in cooperating with the right envoy Qiu Nanjia. Although the Qianshan Sect is in chaos, the sect's protection period
Still, the Jincheng faction still cannot annex it at will, nor can it become stronger. This is actually beneficial to their own strategy.
Although he could blatantly kill Jiang Feng in a duel, that would be too slow. Two years, and it has only been a few months now? Xu Tuzhi has never been his favorite way of doing things. However, if
It would be troublesome for him and Tie Sanquan to ambush Jiang Feng outside Beimu County. Just as Tie Sanquan was worried, once the other party escaped, it would be impossible for the two of them to pursue Luo Chuan.
Heavy thoughts dispelled the little sleepiness he had, and he realized that it didn't mean much if he couldn't go back to his house to rest.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
Dark clouds are gathering, the sultry atmosphere lingers, and a late summer rainstorm is approaching.
In the cave of Zheng Luda, the chief minister, Zheng Yiyu, who has reached the spiritual level, is sitting on a futon. The spiritual energy around him is wisps and substantively surrounding him. In mid-air, there is a three-foot-long meditation grass.
Constantly absorbing the spiritual power gathered from everywhere, the leaves grew upward from six to eight, ten, or even more, until they reached sixteen, they stopped growing and became as thin as
On the blades of the sword, with veins like sharp edges, little bits of frost condensed, merged, and shattered in sequence, turning into bursts of dust and mist, constantly dissolving and dissipating the hot atmosphere in the room.
The light of dozens of second-level spiritual stones on the ground has dimmed a lot. They were sprinkled by Zheng Luda on the side to increase the concentration of spiritual energy here. At this moment, his eyes are burning, not sleepy, and he does not dare to slack off at all. Shangguan
Bo Liang repaired the formation here only three days ago, just as Zheng Yiyu had glimpsed the great road and achieved enlightenment to the Xuan level. As the head of the Zheng family and the elder of Zheng Yiyu, how could he dare to be careless?
What happened to Wang Yanzhi of the Wang family when he was invaded by his inner demons must never happen again. Zheng Luda swallowed a Qi-boosting pill to ensure that he would always be in top condition to protect Zheng Yiyu in the event of an accident.
But what he expected didn't happen.
call!
As a fleeting spiritual energy surge surged through the formation, Zheng Yiyu's aura suddenly rose, and the surrounding spiritual energy was emptied. Several pale and sharp rays of light suddenly appeared on Zheng Yiyu's body, like flowing water.
Like ripples, he immediately restrained himself again. After several repetitions, Zheng Luda at the side could already feel Zheng Yiyu's solid Xuan-level aura.
Zheng Yiyu also opened his eyes at the same time, seemingly gaining something.
Click!
Outside the cave, a thunderbolt sounded, and a heavy rain was blown down by the strong wind. Zheng Luda and Zheng Yiyu smiled at each other, and the former personally cast a few heart-clearing talismans and cleansing talismans, stood up, and opened the closed door.
Shimen, ordered the servants waiting outside to return home to report the good news, and he immediately sat down and tried his best to help Zheng Yiyu stabilize his cultivation.
"We should report the good news to the leader." Half an hour later, General Zheng Yiyu was fine and everything was fine. Zheng Luda couldn't help but smile and said, "I just don't know where the leader has gone?"
Zheng Yiyu, who knew a little about the leader's movements, suddenly remembered that the leader had left the sect for several days and there had been no communication. He took out the "Thousand Miles Yin and Yang Mirror" and found that there was no writing on it. There were only two possibilities, either.
Nothing happened, or the distance between him and the leader was too far. If it was the former, that was fine. If it was the latter, he would have to find a way to take a walk around the borders of the Qianshan Sect.
He was just thinking about the safety of his leader, when he saw Niu Er, his subordinate who had been working as a messenger in the Mirror Division, waiting there in the rain outside the cave, and he quickly called him over.
"It's so late, what's wrong?"
"There is new news coming from the east." Niu Er said carefully. He had already felt the improvement of Zheng Yiyu's cultivation. "Yi... Senior Deacon Zheng, congratulations on your success."
"What did you say?"
Zheng Yiyu felt very awkward when he heard this. He was both a deacon and a senior, but then he remembered that he was already a Xuan-level monk. Niu Er's careful and respectful attitude was normal, but as someone who played together, he
He gave the other party a heavy blow with his hand and said, "Niu Er, just call him normally, no need for so much etiquette."
"Yes, Lord Deacon." Niu Er still did not let go of the restraints. Xuan-level monks are already considered top-notch beings in the sect, and he did not dare to go beyond them in the slightest.
"You boy"
Zheng Yiyu smiled. The master of the family was also there. He couldn't joke with Fa Xiaoniu Er. He thought that if news from the east arrived, it would be Qiu Zhenzhen who was lurking in Lelin City, Jincheng Pai. He had new information to send.
