Just after Ye Chen, Wu Li and a large group of treasure-hunting monks rushed out of the exit of Diyan Mountain, in less than a moment, Xu Shen, the head of the Fire Worship Sect, and Xu Wei, the young sect leader, who were originally on the second floor of Diyan Mountain,
He led a group of monks to the exit of the passage on the first floor of Diyan Mountain.
Almost all the monks on the first floor of Diyan Mountain have fled. At this time, there are only a dozen Fire Worshipers left at the exit of the passage to clean up the mess.
Leader Xu's face turned livid when he saw the corpses on the ground inside and outside the passage exit, as well as the traces of fighting left behind by the fierce battle.
He had been hesitating before whether to ruthlessly kill all the treasure-hunting monks in Diyan Mountain and completely annihilate all the information about Diyan Mountain. But before he could make a decision, something big happened. He was on the ground
The second floor of Yanshan received the news and rushed over, but it was still a step too late.
"Master, my subordinates were ordered to guard the exit of Diyan Mountain, but a group of treasure-hunting monks suddenly rushed out. I tried my best to intercept them, but failed to intercept them. My guard was not good, please punish me!"
The late-stage foundation-building monk who was responsible for guarding the exit was Ma Yu, one of Master Xu's confidants. When he saw the master's face looking so ugly, he couldn't help but sweat all over his head and fell to the ground with one knee.
"How many people ran away?"
Leader Xu's face darkened.
"They had five foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-refining monks. My subordinates tried their best to intercept them, but only killed dozens of them, and most of the others ran away."
Ma Yu said quickly.
"Master, do you want your subordinates and others to chase you?"
Immediately, a foundation-building monk from the Fire Worship Sect asked.
"It's not necessary. If you run away with a few people, you can still chase and kill them. But with hundreds of treasure-hunting monks running away, in the vast mountains around Diyan Mountain, even if you pursue them with all your strength, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. Once
The Fire Worship Sect cannot bear the reputation of massacre of fellow practitioners after word spreads out. The foundation guards of the three exit passages have been withdrawn, so there is no need to guard them anymore. There are too many treasure-hunting monks entering and exiting Diyan Mountain during this period.
It seems that all the intelligence information cannot be sealed. However, I am more worried that after Tianxu Sect gets the news about this Diyan Mountain, they will send people to fight for the spiritual land."
Headmaster Xu shook his head, his expression becoming more and more gloomy.
All the Fire Worshiping Sect monks present fell into silence.
The Fire Worshiping Sect has occupied Diyan Mountain. This is something that offends the Tianxu Immortal Sect. If the Tianxu Sect finds out, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. But if they don't occupy it, such a big piece of fat will be given away to them.
This large spiritual land no longer has the role of Fire Worshiping Sect monks.
The Fire Worshiping Sect wants to survive in the cracks between the nine immortal sects in Yunzhou, but it doesn’t have a few large spiritual lands in its hands. How can it grow stronger?! So even though they know it will offend the Tianxu Sect, they still sneak around here in Yanshan Mountain.
Activity.
It's just that the leader has not made a decision and is determined to fight with the Tianxu Sect, and their subordinates are at a loss as to what to do.
Master Xu was silent for a while, and then issued a series of orders in one breath, "Ma Yu, you immediately lead a group of monks to the nearest Xingnan Kingdom, use all means to control the royal family of Xingnan Kingdom, mobilize the entire army of Xingnan Kingdom, and go out to conquer Wu."
The Lan Empire captured Xingzhou County in Ulan. Xingnan Kingdom bordered the Ulan Empire and could capture Xingzhou County in the shortest time.
Peng Yi, go to the Ulan Imperial Capital with heavy gifts, bribe the ministers and generals of the Ulan Imperial Court, and encourage the Ulan Imperial Court to abandon Xingzhou County and cede it to Xingnan Kingdom. At Tianxumen, I know that there is a land in Xingzhou County.
Before Yanshan, Xingzhou County was not part of the Ulan Empire, so Tianxu Sect had no excuse to force me to worship the Fire Sect and give up Yanshan.
We must hurry up, otherwise Tianxu Sect will know the importance of Xingzhou County and let the Ulan Empire try its best to protect Xingzhou County. Xingnan Kingdom may not be able to seize Xingzhou County from the Ulan Empire. I, the Fire Worship Sect, will be very passive!"
"Yes! The two subordinates will go and take care of it now."
Ma Yu and Peng Yi, the confidants of the two heads, looked heavy. They immediately took orders and each led a small team of monks to leave Diyan Mountain to perform tasks in the two countries.
"Dad, where am I?!"
Xu Wei followed his father Xu Shen and asked quickly.
"You follow me. Once Tianxu Sect takes action and sends monks to seize Diyan Mountain, it will be a bloody battle. We must be prepared to fight."
Headmaster Xu glanced at him and said angrily.
"yes!"
Xu Wei said quickly.
Leader Xu looked at the dark red Diyan Mountain, his deep face was full of indifference, and he was constantly making calculations in his heart.
The Tianxu Sect is extremely powerful, but the Fire Worship Sect is not without a chance of winning.
The Tianxu Sect has a great cause and a lot of territory, and they need monks to guard everywhere. They will not give up their original territory and send all their strength over. The monks who can really be mobilized are some of the monks who are usually "idle", so naturally
This number will not be too many.
On the contrary, the Fire Worship Sect doesn't have much property, so it can allocate all its manpower to defend this Earth Flame Mountain.
The side of Tianxu Sect only uses a small part of its power, while the side of Fire Worshiping Sect goes all out. This is the only chance for Fire Worshiping Sect.
If the Tianxu Sect doesn't know how much profit there is from the minerals in the Diyan Mountain, and finds that it's not cost-effective to fight with the Fire Worshiping Sect, and the gains are not as good as the losses, the Fire Worshiping Sect still has a chance to occupy the Earth Flame Mountain.
"Now there are many treasure-hunting monks who know the situation on the second floor of Diyan Mountain. It is extremely difficult to block the news."
Master Xu was upset.
He even wanted to be ruthless and kill more than 2,000 treasure-hunting monks in Diyan Mountain in one go, blocking the information of Diyan Mountain to the greatest extent. Unfortunately, after a little hesitation, hundreds of treasure-hunting monks ran away, and it was too late to take action now.
.
If we want to seize food from the Tianxu Sect's territory and occupy the large spiritual land of Diyan Mountain, we can only rely on the Xingnan Kingdom and the Ulan Empire.
The reason why we start to seize the spiritual land from these two secular countries involves a rule that divides the territory of influence among the nine immortal sects in Yunzhou's world of immortality - the nine immortal sects control each secular country in Yunzhou, and each secular country is controlled by them.
The country will fight for the territory in Yunzhou. If the secular country fails to compete for the territory, the Immortal Sect will withdraw from this territory. The purpose of this is to try to avoid direct fighting between the monks of the nine Immortal Sects, which will waste the strength of the Nine Immortal Sects.
This rule was set by the Nine Immortal Sects and has been implemented for thousands of years.
Various secular countries in Yunzhou have been conquered for years, and the army has suffered huge losses, and even countless large and small countries have been destroyed. However, the strength of the nine great immortal sects in Yunzhou has almost never been weakened, and has become stronger and stronger.
But then again, the rules are made by the strong.
The Nine Great Immortal Sects are extremely powerful, and Master Xu is not sure whether the newly emerged small Immortal Sect, the Fire Worship Sect, will follow this rule.
A strong person with strength makes the rules and can change them at any time, while a weak person without strength can only accept the rules.
If the Tianxu Sect doesn't intend to negotiate the rules with the Fire Worshiping Sect, then it will be a bloody battle between naked immortal sects.
...
After half a day.
Ye Chen rode the flying sword, Master Kong Xian and Master Wu rode the crane and flew to the vicinity of Xingzhou City.
This was the first time for Master Kong Xian and Master Wu to fly in the sky on a crane, and they were pleasantly surprised and excited. However, they were still afraid of escaping from danger and did not dare to stay in Xingzhou County longer.
"Brother Ye Dao, what are we doing in Xingzhou City? This place is very close to the Diyan Mountain Spiritual Land, and there are some secretive Fire Worshiping Sect monks operating in the city. If we appear in Xingzhou City, I'm afraid we will be confused with the Fire Worshiping Sect.
If you meet a monk, it would be safer to leave the Ulan Empire and go to other countries."
Master Kong Xian said loudly against the wind.
The three of them fell down in a remote wilderness near Xingzhou City.
Xingzhou County used to be thousands of miles of fertile land, with cultivated fields outside the city, but due to drought, it became a deserted wilderness.
Kong and Wu jumped off the back of Linghe.
"Of course there are important things to do. Let's go see the princess alone first."
Ye Chen said calmly and collected the Feijian and Linghe. What he was going to do next would require the help of Wang Lin, the princess of Xingzhou County in Wulan State.
"Meeting the princess alone? I'm afraid there is no other way. She is protected by a grand master from the Tianxu Immortal Sect, who almost never leaves her side. Brother Ye Dao wants to meet the princess alone. The grand master is worried about the safety of the princess and will definitely not agree.
.”
Master Kong Xian was very puzzled.
"Then meet the princess and the grand master!"
Ye Chen smiled.
"With Brother Ye Dao's strength, you can't meet anyone you want! Not to mention the princess, even Emperor Wulan can meet him if he wants."
But Lord Wu laughed.
Master Kong Xian thought about it and thought so.
Kong and Wu had a distinguished status in Xingzhou City. The soldiers and officials who were guarding the city all recognized them, and the three of them entered the princess's palace unimpeded.
When the three of them arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the heavily guarded Princess's Mansion was filled with silence.
In the lobby of the Princess's Mansion, Princess Wang Lin and dozens of important officials and generals from Xingzhou Mansion, as well as more than a dozen monks and guests, were discussing the drought.
In the past month, the drought has shown no signs of easing. Instead, it has become more severe. The food shipped from other states and counties in the Ulan Empire cannot meet the food shortage of millions of soldiers and civilians. There are victims and unrest everywhere.
The ministers of Xingzhou County Princess Mansion have been divided into two groups. One group believes that they don’t know when this severe drought will end. Instead of waiting, it is better to evacuate millions of soldiers and civilians from Xingzhou County. The other group believes that if millions of soldiers and civilians are evacuated,
After Xingzhou County, where can these soldiers and civilians go to live? There are people in other prefectures and counties of Ulan State, and it is difficult to have cultivated land to accommodate so many soldiers and civilians. It is better to ask for help from the Ulan court, persist in drought relief, wait for rain, and relieve Xingzhou County
of drought.
The two factions of ministers often had fierce disputes over this issue, and they argued for months.
This is not because Princess Wang Lin is indecisive. It's just that no matter which decision she makes, it is of great importance and involves the livelihood of millions of soldiers and civilians. It is very troublesome, which leads to the long delay. Moreover, many of the important civil and military officials in the Princess's Mansion are
Being secretly bribed by the Fire Worshipers with huge sums of money and advocating the abandonment of Xingzhou made the situation even more complicated.
In the lobby, Princess Wang Lin, the Grand Master, all the civil and military ministers, monks and guests could not help but be shocked when they saw Ye Chen, Master Kong Xian, Master Wu and others appearing together.
