The Rise of the Shen Family

Chapter 739

In an empty cave in Tuyang Valley, Ye Ming sat on the seat with a gloomy face, his face was already full of worry and helplessness.

In recent days, one bad news after another has been passed to him, which made him feel deeply worried about his current situation here.

First, Qing Yun Sect suddenly mobilized an army to prepare for a full-scale counterattack, and the target of the former's first battle was the Tuyang Valley mine where he was stationed.

This time, the Qing Yun Sect almost came out in full force, and even recruited a large number of vassal families and casual cultivators, as if they were determined not to give up until their goals were achieved.

Then came the news that Master Qingyang, who was a monk of Yuanying, personally attacked Luqiu Mountain. Although he didn't succeed in the end, he blocked the mountain gate.

Whether it is their outside disciples who want to return to Luqiu Mountain, or the sect sending disciples to support them on the front line, it will not work.

Originally, with the support of the Zongmen behind, Ye Ming was very confident to fight against the Qingyunmen army, and guard the Tuyang Valley mine to prevent the Qingyunmen army from going north to crusade against the Zongmen.

But now, it is obviously impossible for the Zongmen's reinforcements to support him here. On the other hand, various forces from Qingyunmen's side are constantly coming towards Tuyanggu.

So right now, he can't advance or retreat, and he can't go back to the mountain gate of Wuji sect, but he will be surrounded by Qingyun sect's army while stationed in the mine, and the final result can be imagined.

Although the situation is difficult, Ye Ming is not unprepared. Not long ago, he sent a request for help to Wang Yuanqing who was stationed in Jiangmin County, hoping that the latter could lead his troops to join him and gather the strength of the two of them. And the fourth-tier protective formation on the mine field to resist the attack of Qingyunmen.

At the same time, he also forcibly recruited all the vassal families in Canglan County in the name of Zongmen, and asked them to send their clansmen to the Tuyang Valley Mine to resist Qingyunmen's attack with him.

In Ye Ming's view, if Wang Yuanqing and the family monks from Canglan County can come as promised, they may not be able to resist the Qingyunmen's army by relying on the solid fortifications in Tuyang Valley.

However, just as he was thinking about the way to break the situation, a bright aura suddenly flew into the cave, turned into a magic talisman and stayed in his hand.

And when Ye Ming saw the information on the communication talisman, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he turned into an afterimage and rushed out of the cave immediately.

He came to the sky above the large protective formation on Tuyang Valley, and immediately swung a burst of spiritual power to open a gap in the light curtain of the protective formation.

Not long after, a black shadow flew directly through the gap and entered the inner area of ​​the protective formation.

This embarrassed figure was none other than Wang Yuanqing who had fled all the way here from Jiangmin County.

Ye Ming looked at Wang Yuanqing who was in a state of distress, frowned slightly and said:

"Brother Wang, why are you in such a mess?"

On this side, Wang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief just now. Facing the former's inquiry, he waved his hand and said:

"It's a long story, and Wang still needs to talk about it in detail with fellow daoists."

Ye Ming and Wang Yuanqing, who had just met, had a brief conversation and then walked back to Ye Ming's cave while talking.

After taking his seat, Wang Yuanqing told Ye Ming the news of the fall of Jiangmin County, which was sent by Qingyunmen to send two Jindan real people to surprise Jiangmin County.

Of course, he would not say anything about the fact that he abandoned the monks of the Wuji sect and escaped alone, after all, he still needs the protection of the Wuji sect now.

And when Ye Ming heard about the surprise attack on Jiangmin County by the real Jindan of Qingyunmen, he couldn't help falling into silence, and the gloomy look on his face became more intense.

"The matter has come to this point, if Jiangmin County is lost, it will be lost. It is not easy for Brother Wang to escape smoothly."

He looked at Wang Yuanqing and sighed, without any intention of asking for guilt. Obviously, he also knew that he needed the other party's help now.

"Currently, the Zongmen is blocked by Master Qingyang, and the two of us are alone and helpless, so we can only defend this mine together."

After hearing this, Wang Yuanqing fell into silence immediately, and only spoke again after a long time:

"I don't know how your defense strength is here, Brother Ye?"

Here, Ye Ming couldn't help but glanced at the former, and after pondering for a moment, he decided not to hide it, so he said in a low voice:

"Now there are more than 50 foundation-building monks in the mine and the family monks in Canglan County. If the Qi-training monks and the miners are added, there are more than 300 people."

It has to be said that the Wuji Sect really valued the large mine of Tuyang Valley, and actually arranged more than 20 inner sect disciples in the foundation establishment period in this mine.

In addition to these inner disciples, there were more than 20 Foundation Establishment monks from various vassal families in Canglan County who came to support them.

Although Canglan County is close to the boundless sea like Linhai County, its area is several times that of Linhai County, and most of the territory is plains, rivers and lakes, so it is very suitable for mortals to reproduce.

In addition, Canglan County was developed hundreds of years earlier than Linhai County, and the cultivation families in the territory took advantage of the convenience of being close to the boundless sea to obtain cultivation resources from the sea and trade with the Loose Cultivation Alliance, so Canglan County The overall strength has become an existence second only to Tai'an County where the Wuji Sect's sect is located.

Today, there are sixteen foundation-building families in Canglan County, big and small. Among them, there are Song, Qi, and Liang families that have been passed down for more than a thousand years.

This time the Qingyunmen attacked the Tuyanggu mine, which made the families of Canglan County feel ashamed, and sent people to support the Wujizong.

After all, because of the favorable location, their families have gained a lot of benefits from the Tuyang Valley Mine, so they naturally hope that the Wuji Sect can always occupy this large mine.

Furthermore, if the Tuyang Valley Mine is breached, the Qingyunmen army will be able to drive straight in, and the next attack will be Canglan County where their family is located.

Therefore, in order to prevent the family from being caught in the flames of war, they could only help the Wuji Sect to resist the Qingyun Sect, hoping to stop the latter's conquest from outside Canglan County.

On this side, Wang Yuanqing fell silent again after hearing about the strength of the troops in the mine, as if he had already begun to measure the difference in combat strength between the two sides.

And Ye Ming seemed to see what he was thinking, so he immediately said:

"Although Master Qingyang has sealed off the sect now, he is still unable to break through the mountain gate for a while, so I just need to hold on to the mine, block the passage to the north of Qingyunmen, and then wait for the support of those foreign monks to get through this robbed"

Hearing this, Wang Yuanqing nodded slowly, sighed and said:

"That's all for now"

. . . . . .

At the same time, on a spiritual mountain more than two hundred miles away from Tuyang Valley, the monks of the Shen family and the monks who went out with him are stationed here.

This Lingshan was originally a small market that was born because of the mine, and it was specialized in the business of miners and monks who were employed in the mine.

But as the Tuyang Valley Mine was seized by the Wuji Sect, the city that was born due to luck gradually declined, and now it can only become a temporary camp for the Shen family's coalition forces.

Because the Shen family is the closest to Tuyang Valley, the monks of the Shen family were also the first to rush to the outskirts of Tuyang Valley.

When the army marched here, Shen Huanchi ordered everyone to set up camp in this square city. He did not lead the people to advance rashly, but waited for the arrival of the rest of the forces with peace of mind.

At this time, in a house in Fang City, several high-level members of the Shen family gathered here. Shen Huanchi, who was dressed in a dark green robe, sat in the first place, and Shen Ruiling, Shen Ruizhi, and Shen Yongxuan sat in their respective seats. the left and right sides of the former.

I saw that Shen Huanchi was holding a communication talisman from Qingyunmen in his hand, and a look of deep thought gradually appeared on his ancient well-free face.

"Patriarch, what did Qing Yunmen say in the communication talisman?"

After seeing this scene, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but looked at Shen Huanchi and asked.

On this side, after Shen Huanchi lifted it up slowly, he said with emotion in his heart:

"Last night, Zhentian Zhentian and Long Zhuqing from Qingyun Sect attacked Jiangmin County by surprise. In the end, Jindan Zhenren of Wujizong who was stationed in Jiangmin County was seriously injured and fled. Jiangmin County has been recovered by Qingyun Sect."

Hearing this, Shen Ruiling and Shen Ruizhi couldn't help but glance at each other, the former sighed after carefully trying to figure out the deep meaning behind it.

"What a move!"

When Qingyunmen's true strategic intentions were revealed, Shen Ruiling and others were really impressed, and they were also secretly startled.

Qingyunmen attracted the attention of everyone in Lingnan to the Tuyanggu Mine, but secretly sent two Jindan real people to attack Jiangmin County by surprise, and recovered the entire Jiangmin County at the fastest and least cost.

"Now there is a message from Qingyunmen that Wang Yuanqing will flee to the Tuyang Valley Mine to join Ye Ming, so let us and other forces speed up the march and encircle the Tuyang Valley Mine as soon as possible."

At this time, Shen Huanchi, who was in the first place, glanced at the three of Shen Ruiling and continued.

Hearing this, after pondering for a while, Shen Ruiling spoke first:

"Now we are less than 300 miles away from the Tuyang Valley mine, and the remaining journey will take only one day to reach the designated location, so we are not in a hurry."

"Besides, if Wang Yuanqing also fled to the Tuyang Valley mine, there are very likely two Jindan real people in the mine now, and if we advance rashly alone, it is very likely that the other party will seize the opportunity to attack us head-on "

As soon as this remark came out, both Shen Ruizhi and Shen Yongxuan nodded, obviously they also agreed very much.

On the other side, Shen Huanchi was quite satisfied and glanced at Shen Ruiling, then asked again:

"Where are Ouyang's family, Baihua Palace and Qingyunmen's army now?"

Faced with the question, Shen Ruizhi quickly got up and said:

"The monks from the Ouyang family and Baihua Palace have joined forces, and they are less than a thousand miles away from here. I think we can arrive there in two or three days."

"As for Qingyunmen's army, it's not far away, and they can arrive in five days at most."

In this way, after Shen Huanchi asked some questions about the march of the army and the affairs of those vassal families, he looked at Shen Ruizhi and Shen Yongxuan and said:

"The two of you should retreat first, and let the rest of the people wait here with peace of mind, be careful!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Shen Ruizhi and Shen Yongxuan quickly agreed, then turned and left.

After the two of them left, only the patriarch and Shen Ruiling were left in the room. The latter looked directly at the former and asked:

"Patriarch, do you have any orders?"

On this side, Shen Huanchi gave him a slightly serious look, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"This jade slip records the hiding place of the spiritual water of heaven and earth. During this war, you should find an opportunity to sneak into Canglan County to retrieve the spiritual water secretly."

After hearing this, Shen Ruiling's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the jade slip.

Now, he has practiced the "Three-Yuan Zhuan Lei Jue" to the perfection of the ninth level of foundation building, and the next step is to prepare to cross the Jindan Thunder Tribulation, and use the power of the Thunder Tribulation to mutate the three spiritual roots.

But now the spiritual power of the three different attributes in his body has not been cultivated to a balanced state, and the spiritual power of the water attribute is slightly weaker than the spiritual power of the fire attribute and the earth attribute.

This is because in the process of practicing the "Three-Yuan Zhuan Lei Jue", he needs to constantly refine the heaven and earth spirits with three different attributes of fire, earth, and water for his own use. With the help of the essence of those spirits, the acquired He tempered the three lines of spiritual roots in his dantian to prepare for the final fusion and mutation.

So far, he has refined the heaven and earth spiritual object of the fire attribute [Flame Swallowing Flame], the heaven and earth spiritual fire, and the heaven and earth spiritual object of the earth attribute is the [Heaven-Mending Stone], but only the water attribute is missing. A spiritual object of heaven and earth that can be compared with [Flame Devouring Flame] and [Sky Mending Stone].

It's not that Shen Ruiling has refined too few water-attribute spiritual objects over the years, but that none of them can compare to [Flame Devouring Flame] and [Heaven-Mending Stone] in terms of quality.

So this has led to the fact that among the three kinds of spiritual power in Shen Ruiling's body today, the fire attribute spiritual power is the most powerful, followed by the earth attribute spiritual power, and finally the water attribute spiritual power.

The different strengths of the spiritual powers of the three attributes also mean that the strengths of the three spiritual roots in the body are different, and it is not a perfect balance.

Although the difference in strength between these three kinds of spiritual power is not obvious, it will be very fatal to Shen Ruiling's next practice.

If the three attributes of the spirit stones in his body have not yet reached a perfect balance when facing the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, then his attempt to temper the spirit root with the help of the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation is doomed to fail, and even he is very It is possible to fall under the thunder disaster.

Therefore, if he wanted to change the unbalanced state between the three kinds of spiritual power and the three lines of spiritual roots in his body, Shen Ruiling had to refine another piece of water that could be at the same level as [Flame-devouring Flame] and [Heaven-Mending Stone]. The attribute of heaven, material and earth treasure is enough.

Right now, the Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth is his hope!

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will definitely bring back the spirit water from that day!"

Hearing this, Shen Huanchi couldn't help but glanced at him, then smiled and said:

"However, you also need to be prepared to get nothing this time, because it is unknown whether this heaven and earth spirit water is still in this place."
