Strange mountains and rivers

This was not the first time for Chen Huaisheng to meet Qi Hongkui, but to have such formal contact and to be involved in such an important matter all of a sudden was a test for both of them.

Even with Shang Jiuling's advance greetings and preparations, it was not an easy task to pull teeth out of the mouths of Tianyun Sect and Dacheng Sect.

Chen Huaisheng didn't have much time. To convince Qi Hongkui, he had to come up with solid evidence and arguments.

"Uncle Qi, in terms of distance and convenience, as well as our familiarity, Yuanhe Sect is the most familiar to our Chonghua Sect. Now I have two friends who are taking refuge here. According to their descriptions and Later, we learned that Tianyun Sect also joined, but their attitude was somewhat contradictory and vague. It seemed that there was an exchange with Huaxi Sword Sect and Dafeng Pavilion. Jinlian Mountain might be handed over to Huaxi Sword Sect and Dafeng Pavilion, and Dagu Mountain was handed over to Tianyun Sect, which was more suitable for Tianyun Sect to control. This was their bottom line. At the same time, they wanted to destroy the foundation of Yuanhe Sect so that it would no longer pose a threat to Tianyun Sect, but this did not It does not mean that they want to eliminate and kill all the disciples of the Yuanhe Sect. It is the best strategy to make the disciples of the Yuanhe Sect submit and surrender, but it is obvious that they cannot do it..."

Qi Hongkui was very interested in all Shang Jiuling's "favorite students".

Logically speaking, a disciple who has just established his foundation has limited strength and is nothing at all.

There are currently a lot of foundation builders in the Chonghua Sect, and there are seven or eight foundation builders who have merged with the Lingyun Sect, and all of them are more powerful than this guy.

But this guy is only twenty-five, which is an amazing age that no one else can compare to.

Moreover, this guy has only been a disciple for five years. After becoming Shang Jiuling's direct disciple, his spiritual realm has risen explosively within two years, and he has accumulated a lot of experience.

That guy Li Yu really has some vision.

His spiritual strength was just that. Shang Jiuling didn't seem to care too much about this, but valued his ability to analyze and judge general affairs. It was said that even an old man like Ding Zongshou had to recognize him.

This is not simple anymore.

Ding Zongshou is not someone who is easy to fool. Even his disciples at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and his son at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment have a hard time getting his approval. A young 25-year-old Foundation Establishment can make him look at him differently, which is enough. Explains a lot.

This is also the reason why Qi Hongkui takes it seriously this time.

Shang Jiuling hastily told him his purpose and intention, and then rushed to Chongyang Mountain with Ding Zongshou and Zhu Fengbi. This was a major event and the basis for the Chonghua faction to return to Zhao. There was no room for error, but it was very certain.

As for those who stay in the capital, it is their responsibility to try their best to win more powerful people to join the Chinese faction before the Bianjing Taoist Association.

"Did you also mention Xiyun Sect?" Qi Hongkui wiped his shiny bald forehead, his face full of vigor, "In Luoyi, we can even get the support of the Mi family, but the strength of Dacheng Sect and Tianyun Sect are not the same. Yu, why not choose Xiyun Sect?”

In fact, he is not very old, less than a hundred years old. Among the Xianqing monks of Zi Mansion's age, he is definitely considered a young man.

Although he suffered heavy losses in a fierce battle with the Yuelu Sect, he recovered quickly with the advantage of his youth. Of course, it is never easy to be seriously injured at this level of Zifu. Falling to the initial level of Yunsu will cause heavy losses. It will be difficult to return to the high level of Yunsu within three to five years.

However, having experienced the high level of Yunxian, both in terms of vision and state of mind, it is far better than the ordinary Zifu, the first level of Yunxuan. On this point, Qi Hongkui is still very confident.

"Uncle Qi, I said, firstly, the distance is closer and we can intervene faster. Secondly, the Xiyun Sect is not as close to our Chonghua Sect as the Yuanhe Sect. Thirdly, the disciples think that the Tianyun Sect is the great Zhao The first sect of the cultivation sect needs to worry about its image and face, and it is impossible to kill them all. In addition to having to capture Dacheng Mountain and its surrounding spiritual fields, spiritual lands, and markets, it can only attack key figures who pose a threat. To deal with it, we will not kill others, which will cause damage to their status and image, but it is simply impossible to surrender hundreds of disciples of Yuan He Sect through the spirit oath agreement, but they are also We cannot leave it alone. It is also a troublesome task to expel these people from Zhao to avoid leaving behind troubles. It can be said to be quite difficult. No matter what we do, there will be troubles..."

"In a sense, if we take the initiative to recruit, it may be a relief for them. If we pick up the disciples we have chosen or are willing to join Chonghua, and go to Hebei, Tianyun Sect may not be so resistant. I’m even happy to see it come to fruition…”

Chen Huaisheng's point of view was very novel. Qi Hongkui was stunned for a moment and then thought about it carefully. It seemed that it really had merit and was quite reasonable.

Tianyun Sect is the number one sect in the Zhao Dynasty. It can be said that a spiritual mountain may have some attraction for it, but if it is to say that it is so big that it is difficult to leave it, that is not the case. As for the disciples of Yuanhe Sect, I'm afraid It's even more useless.

Of course it is a good thing to be able to join the disciples easily, but if you are not willing to join the Tianyun Sect, expelling them from the sphere of influence to avoid causing trouble is the best option, but there will definitely be many who are not willing to join, but it is difficult to expel them. When someone appears, how to deal with it is also a hot issue, so the emergence of the Chonghua sect may allow both parties to step up.

"Well, it makes some sense. As for Xiyun Sect..."

Although Qi Hongkui somewhat agreed with Chen Huaisheng's point of view, the power of Tianyun Sect as the first sect in the Zhao Dynasty still made people a little scared. It was best not to provoke it if possible.

In comparison, the Dacheng Sect, which had only risen for a few years, had a much weaker deterrent effect on him, so he would still prefer to go to Luoyi, even if it was further away, the relationship with the Xiyun Sect was not that close.

I can understand Qi Hongkui's mentality. Although Dacheng Sect is now the fifth ranked sect, there is a huge gap compared to the top four.

Huaxi Sword Sect and Wanxiang Sect, which are tied for third, both have twelve Zifu Immortals, while Dacheng Sect, which is fifth, has only eight. Although it is still much stronger than Chonghua Sect, it is not like the top four. The gap is almost unattainable.

"Uncle Qi, this disciple thinks that we can go to Dalu Mountain immediately first. What we get in our hands is the most real thing. If Tianyun Sect is really tough and won't allow it, we just give in. We are not as powerful as others, so there is no shame, but It would be a pity if the opportunity was wasted," Chen Huaisheng suggested: "As for the Xiyun Sect, the disciples thought that if they could recruit a few people with some strength, they would go to Luoyi. Maybe the harvest will be greater. Dacheng Sect does not have the strength or courage to deal with Xiyun Sect at once. They must wait for the situation on Yuanhe Sect. The rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Dacheng Sect finally crawls If you reach fifth place and really lose one or two Zifus, you will probably be kicked out by those behind you..."

Chen Huaisheng's suggestion finally moved Qi Hongkui, and he analyzed the situation and mentality of several parties quite accurately. Even Qi Hongkui himself felt that if he were in the position of Tianyun Sect or Dacheng Sect, he would consider it this way. This is indeed true for the Chonghua Sect. is an opportunity.

From Bianjing City to the foot of Dalu Mountain, Chen Huaisheng and his party only took half a day to arrive quickly.

Chen Huaisheng still underestimated Tianyun Sect's arrogance, domineering, and ruthlessness.

Even if they felt that they needed to take some dignity into account, or that there was no need to kill them all, when the Yuanhe Sect showed unwillingness to submit, submit, or even resist, the Tianyun Sect still went on a killing spree without hesitation.

Looking at the rolling clouds and thunder on the distant mountain top, the sword energy criss-crossing, the resistance erupted by the magic circle is still fierce, but under the alternating attacks of several light flames, the power of the magic circle in Dagu Mountain is obviously continuing to shrink.

Qi Hongkui, Chen Huaisheng and his party stopped to observe on a mountain about ten miles away from Dalu Mountain.

Everyone's eyes fell on the rising and falling silhouettes and sword energy flames outside Dagu Mountain. From time to time, monks controlled magical weapons and flew through the air. Almost all of them were tyrannical characters above the level of Foundation Establishment or even Zifu Xianqing. .

Among Chen Huaisheng's group, except for Qi Hongkui, who is from the Zifu, the only ones who can really be called strong are Li Minghao, who is at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and Hao Yunbo, who is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. The rest, such as Chen Huaisheng, Ju Zhenfa, and Bao Que, are only strong. It can be said that it is unsatisfactory.

And Xuan Chimei and Yu Xianxian are not worth mentioning. No matter how talented they are, they still need time to accumulate. Xuan Chimei and Yu Xianxian are still far behind.

Most of the other people sent by Chonghua to Bianjing City have already followed Shang, Ding, and Zhu to Chongyang Mountain in Ji County, where the main battlefield is.

"At least five foundation builders are besieging the magic circle, and one of them is in the Soul Condensation Realm. Sure enough, he is from Tianyun Sect. Tianyun Sect and Huaxi Sword Sect have joined forces." Qi Hongkui smacked his lips and sighed, His eyes wandered.

He was also judging how he should deal with these cultivators at the Zifu level.

Tianyun Sect and Huaxi Sword Sect join forces or trade, which brings too much pressure.

If you are in the Condensing Soul Realm, you can only run for your life. If you are in the Marrow Realm, you can still fight, but you will win more and lose less.

The problem is that if the other party kills these people he brought, only Li Minghao will see if he can escape, and he will not be able to meet the monks in the Soul Condensation Realm. The rest, even Hao Yunbo, will have no choice but to die.

"Uncle Qi, this magic circle can last for up to five hours..." Li Minghao pressed the magic sword on his waist, feeling a little excited, scared and excited.

This was the first time he had seen so many Zifus, and it was now difficult to distinguish between friends and foes. Although Chen Huaisheng's point of view made some sense, what if?

I had previously thought that the Tianyun Sect would use a combination of hardness and softness to force the Yuanhe Sect to surrender, but I didn't expect to see when I came here that there was no such thing as gentleness. Only those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.

"They can't hold it anymore." Qi Hongkui shook his head and cast his gaze on the faces of Yu Xianxian and Xuan Chimei, who were pale and clenched their fists: "Little girl, Huaisheng has told us our purpose, intention and thoughts. You guys, I think you should admit and accept this reality, but we didn’t expect this situation to be worse than we imagined, and Tianyun Sect’s patience is even worse than we expected, what do you think?…”
