Strange mountains and rivers

When Chen Huaisheng took Xuan Chimei and Yu Xianxian back to his Taoist temple in Bianjing City, Shang, Ding, and Zhu also returned from several major sects one after another.

The information received was mixed, but that was to be expected.

Regarding the fate of the Nine Lotus Sect, several families have made no secret of it. Whether it is the Tianyun Sect, the Huaxi Sword Sect, or the Dacheng Sect, they have all shown a very clear and firm attitude, that is, the Nine Lotus Sect has become history and no longer exists. But the "corpse" of the Jiulian Sect is for everyone to get what they need.

Shang Jiuling expressed his attitude to Tianyun Sect, Zhu Fengbixiang Huaxi Sword Sect, and Ding Zongshou to Dacheng Sect. That is, as Jiulian Sect's ally, creditor, and even shareholder, Jiulian Sect owed Chonghua Sect and even the Lingyun Sect that it had merged with. There are many. If the Jiulian Sect is to be dismembered, the Chonghua Sect must obtain one of them. The Chonghua Sect will resolutely defend the rights and interests belonging to the Chonghua Sect.

Tianyun Sect, Huaxi Sword Sect and Dacheng Sect all have no objections to the attitude expressed by the Chonghua Sect, but they also say that the Chonghua Sect has come too late and the Nine Spiritual Mountains have been carved up.

If the Chonghua Sect wants to share the food and accept the fleeing Jiulian disciples, they will not object or interfere. But if the Chonghua Sect wants to capture a certain spiritual mountain, they can only rely on the Chonghua Sect's own strength. Strength to win, of course, they have no objection in principle.

"On the Yuanhe Sect, we are unable to challenge the Tianyun Sect in Dacheng Mountain. I have asked the Tianyun Sect. There are more than 400 disciples of the Yuanhe Sect. The Tianyun Sect is willing to accept most of them, but it will require these disciples to make promises. The spiritual oath must be sworn by the gods, otherwise, you will either die or be expelled from Zhao and will not be allowed to return to Zhao within ten years. It is estimated that other sects will also take similar measures..."

Spiritual oaths have already restricted the practice of monks. If you use a sacred priest or even an imperial flag token to bless you, the binding force will be stronger. Generally speaking, after taking an oath, it is impossible for a monk to betray you, otherwise he will be punished. The spiritual power backfires, so this should be regarded as the most formal oath restriction in the world of cultivation.

This also means that Tianyun Sect has long planned to completely eliminate Yuanhe Sect.

"But we can accept these disciples who are unwilling to join the major sects..."

Shang Jiuling didn't see much change in Chen Huaisheng's eyes, "We really can't do anything here in Dacheng Mountain, Huaisheng, you have to understand."

"Master, I understand, but apart from the sect spiritual mountains mentioned before, what about the others? Besides Chongyang Mountain and Taihe Mountain, do we have any other options?" Chen Huaisheng stared at Shang Jiuling and asked.

"If Mingyue Mountain of Jinfu Sect in Qiao County is as expected, Yunlong Sect should have been eyeing it for a long time. There is also Nanli Mountain of Huolai Sect in Huai County, which is as far away from Taiyuan, Hebei as Taihe Mountain in Wan County. It’s suitable, so I have to choose, and only Chongyang Mountain is the most suitable, but the challenge and price may be the highest, so a real battle with Qingguang Dao is required!”

When Shang Jiuling was talking to Chen Huaisheng alone, he was not as scrupulous as when Zhu Fengbi and Ding Zongshou were present.

He knew that both Ding and Zhu were more or less prejudiced against Chen Huaisheng, or that this prejudice was originally brought about by the fact that Chen Huaisheng was his direct disciple.

"Huai Sheng, how far do you think this battle will go after this?" Shang Jiuling said every word: "Being a teacher requires the most careful and rigorous judgment on whether it is worth it! You have to know, Qingguang Dao can There are five Zifus, and their Taoist master Guo Yanliang should be in the Soul Condensing Realm, or even the Soul Condensing Middle Realm, so we have to weigh it carefully!"

What about the Soul Condensing Middle Realm? Chen Huaisheng does not think this is a problem.

The difference in spiritual level between the Soul Condensing Realm and the Marrow Realm is obvious, but unlike Foundation Establishment, the difference in combat effectiveness between the Zifu spiritual realm is not so obvious. This means that Guo Yanliang may be In a battle against Zhu Fengbi or Ding Zongshou, he may not have much advantage. Of course, it does not rule out that Guo Yanliang himself is quite powerful in combat, but that is another matter.

"Master, are you worried that this battle will be too brutal and the gains will not be worth the losses? Isn't even a spiritual mountain worth it?" Chen Huaisheng asked rhetorically.

"Huaisheng, if we sacrifice one or two Zifus in exchange for a Lingshan Mountain, is it worth it? In addition, even if it is worth it, if we sacrifice two Zifus, can we still defend it?" Shang Jiuling asked the same question. .

"Master, after this battle, I mean after the battle between the nine sects of the Nine Lotus Sect and each sect, many Zifu will inevitably become rogue cultivators. Their hatred and dignity will prevent them from joining these major sects. But our Chonghua Sect is different for them. We can completely persuade and attract more strong people to join us. The disciples feel that by then, our strength will only rise instead of falling, especially the leader of the Yuhan Sect. This Zi Mansion, Master seems not to have come in. In fact, we can already take action now to persuade these Nine Lotus Sect cultivators to consider a way out. "

Chen Huaisheng's words made Shang Jiuling's eyes light up and he suddenly became enlightened.

There are as many as seventeen Zifu Immortals in the Nine Lotus Sect, which is even similar to the number of Zifu in the Tianyun Sect. Even the Huaxi Sword Sect and the Wanxiang Sect are a bit inferior. If it were not for their loose structure, it would never be possible. Fall behind three.

After this battle, no one can be sure how many of the seventeen Zifu Immortals will be left, but even if only a quarter or even a fifth are left, there will still be three or four Zifu Immortals living outside. If one or two people can be recruited into the Chonghua Sect, the battle against Qingguang Dao will not be wasted.

This does not include the fact that the Yuhan Sect itself has a Zifu Immortal Qing. It is relatively easy to win over the relationship with the Yuhan Sect.

Shang Jiuling nodded slowly: "Huaisheng, if that's the case, then we can't delay any longer. Your Master Ding, Master Zhu and I will rush to Ji County immediately. I estimate that this battle will have a result within three days. Whether it's Chongyang Mountain or the Lingshan in other counties, Jiulian Sect will not survive for more than three days,..."

"You can start lobbying now, but we are too busy now. I will say hello to Senior Brother Qi. If you have any ideas, just tell your Master Qi and let him cooperate with you. Whether it's Yuanhe Sect or Xiyun Sect, or other sects, you can consider how to act, but one thing is to ensure your own safety. If you want to contact, call your Master Qi, don't act rashly, and avoid angering the opponent,..."

Shang Jiuling's words made Chen Huaisheng feel warm in his heart. At least these words made him feel much more comfortable.

Of course, if he wants to do such a thing, he definitely dare not go alone, and he has to pull Qi Hongkui with him.
