Chapter 169 News leaked
Even though the monks in Taicheng County were good at concealment, they could not hide the large-scale deployment of manpower and supplies from others.
Although the Duanyun Mountain Range towers into the clouds, it does not prevent monks from the north and south of the mountain range from traveling to and fro. Especially some accomplished monks often enter Qidafang City, a vassal of the Qingxuan Sect, to buy some specialties from the Southern Wilderness.
Soon, the news of the large-scale development of Chaoyin Mountain by the Qingxuan Sect and the Taicheng County monks spread to the northern part of the Duanyun Mountains and even reached the ears of the Hongshan Sect monks.
In the past hundred years or so, because there is no longer the suppression of Xuan Su Palace, the order of the Yu Kingdom’s immortal world has become a little chaotic.
Even though the four major sects each have their own sphere of influence, small-scale conflicts and temptations still emerge one after another.
The Hongshan Sect is located in the northern part of the Duanyun Mountains. Compared to the Qingxuan Sect, the place they control is already considered the hinterland of mankind. Except for the Duanyun Mountain Range, which is connected to the Southern Wilderness, there are no climatic monsters causing trouble.
Although the Hongshan Sect only has eleven Zifu monks, they don’t have to guard against large-scale monster invasions. Relatively speaking, they can mobilize more masters.
Qingliang Mountain is located in the north of the Duanyun Mountains. The straight-line distance from Chaoyin Mountain is only more than 8,000 miles, which is closer than the Zhang family, Wu family, Liu family and other Taicheng County cultivating immortal families.
However, due to the Duanyun Mountain Range, it is difficult for the two places to contact and communicate with each other. Except for the accomplished monks, even those who are in the Qi-training stage will break their muscles and bones even if they climb the Duanyun Mountain Range. If they are not careful, they may die.
The Xiao family in Qingliang Mountain is also a family that has been inherited for more than 500 years. There is only one monk in the foundation building period in the family. The size of his family is less than half that of the Zhang family, with less than fifty monks.
At this time, in the living room of the Xiao family in Qingliang Mountain, Xiao Hongxuan, the head of the Xiao family on the third floor of the foundation building, was accompanying the last person. There were more than a dozen monks in the foundation building period sitting above him. There is a faint pressure, and it seems that the Zi Mansion has been opened.
This person glanced at everyone and said, “What is going on in Chaoyin Mountain?”
Zhao Qingnian, the head of the Zhao family in Qingwutan, seems to have a good relationship with this Zifu monk. Qingwutan is also located at the northern foot of Duanyun Mountain. There are three foundation-building monks in the Zhao family. They often pass through Taicheng County and enter Black Mountain. For The various families in Taicheng County also knew very well that the Zhao family’s foundation-building monks were the first to discover the abnormality about Chaoyin Mountain, so Zhao Qingnian was the first to speak.
“Senior Mu, according to our understanding, Chaoyin Mountain was just a barren mountain in the past. The Ma family, a foundation-building family in Taicheng County, mined echo stones on this mountain, and nothing too precious was produced.
However, a year ago, the spiritual energy near this mountain began to become more and more abundant. In a short period of time, Qingxuan Sect cooperated with the five major families in Taicheng County to cultivate spiritual veins on the mountain, and also deployed powerful formations to The entire mountain was wrapped in thick fog.
In addition, the five foundation-building families in Taicheng County also mobilized a large number of manpower to build cities on Chaoyin Mountain. Now five towns have been built and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland have been reclaimed. “
Hearing Zhao Qingnian’s words, Zifu monk Mu Huaishan frowned and said, “So, Qingxuanzong has found great benefits in Chaoyin Mountain?”
“According to our estimation, judging from the manpower they mobilized and the layout they made, they may have discovered the Lingshi mine. As for the scale of the Lingshi mine, it should not be considered very large. If the scale of the Lingshi mine is large, Qing I’m afraid Xuanzong will not allow the Taicheng County Zhuji family to interfere.” Zhao Qingnian nodded and said with certainty.
These monks gathered in the Xiao family in Qingliang Mountain are all monks from Jiangkou County of Yu State. Jiangkou County has been developed for more than three thousand years and has a stronger population and farmland than Taicheng County. They have eleven foundation-building families in one county, almost twice as many as Taicheng County.
However, there are only eighteen foundation-building monks in Jiangkou County, only five more than those in Taicheng County. However, the monks in Taicheng County often fight against monsters, and their experience far exceeds that of Jiangkou County, which has been stable for many years. If there is a large-scale fight between the family monks in the two counties, without the intervention of the sect behind it, the monks in Jiangkou County may not be the opponents of Zhang Zhixuan and others.
Moreover, the family in Taicheng County has successively produced two Zifu-level monks, leaving behind some powerful back-up players. Even though the Zhang family has exhausted the fourth-level spiritual talismans, their foundation-building monks are still outstanding in terms of vision and skills. It is more powerful than ordinary foundation-building families.
Mu Huaishan is the elder of the Zifu of the Hongshan Sect. He has been opening the Zifu for less than a year, and his cultivation level is only on the second level of the Zifu. Although he was not a local monk in Jiangkou County, his early wife was from the Zhao family.
“The Lingshi mine has been discovered in Chaoyin Mountain, what are your plans?” Mu Huaishan asked with a frown.
Zhao Qingnian was related to Mu Huaishan and said directly without any politeness: “Chaoyin Mountain belongs to the Duanyun Mountains and is not the territory of the Qingxuan Sect. This place where the two sides meet is not owned by the Qingxuan Sect. We would like to invite Senior Mu represents the Hongshan Sect and takes the lead in fighting the Qingxuan Sect monks for our Jiangkou County monks.”
The monks in Jiangkou County have a large number of people, but the resources they produce may not be as good as Taicheng County, which is close to the southern wilderness. When they heard that a Lingshi mine had been discovered in Chaoyin Mountain, they all wanted the Hongshan Sect to take the lead in fighting for it.
Mu Huaishan himself was not satisfied with the fact that the Lingshi Mine in Chaoyin Mountain was occupied by Qingxuan Sect monks. However, he could not make the decision alone on such a major matter as the conflict with Qingxuan Sect. This required a joint decision by the sect’s senior monks.
If Qingxuanzong is not prepared, they can still provoke a small-scale conflict, but Qingxuanzong has deployed a fourth-level formation, which will have no effect unless there is a large-scale siege.
Mu Huaishan looked at the dozen or so Foundation-Building monks who looked hopeful, and said cautiously: “I am willing to fight for you. But for such a big matter, you still have to report it to the sect and ask Patriarch Yang to take it. idea.
You should make some preparations first, prepare enough food, grass and spiritual rice, and then send people to Taicheng County to find out information. It is best to find out the situation in Chaoyin Mountain. Wait until I go back to report to Old Ancestor Yang and see what Old Ancestor Yang means. “
Mu Huaishan made arrangements that day, and then hurriedly flew back to Hongshan Sect to ask Patriarch Yang for instructions.
The Hongshan Sect is located in the eastern part of the Yu Kingdom, on the fifth-level spiritual vein of Dahong Mountain. It controls three counties in the eastern part of the Yu Kingdom. These three counties are all well-developed mature lands, and their population and farmland far exceed those of the three southeastern counties. county.
With a sufficient population base, more monks can be born, so in terms of the number of monks alone, the Hongshan Sect is almost twice as many as the Qingxuan Sect.
However, in the past few hundred years, the development of Hongshan Sect has been far inferior to that of Qingxuan Sect.
Since a hundred years ago, Qingxuan Sect’s Zifu monks have surpassed Hongshan Castle. In the past hundred years, Qingxuan Sect has successively had three foundation-building monks, Hu Peiyu, Wu Siheng, and Han Wangpeng, successfully opened Zifu, while Hongshan Sect’s recent In more than a hundred years, only Mu Huaishan became a monk in the Zifu Stage.
The Qingxuan Sect became more and more prosperous, and the Hongshan Sect, which bordered them, became more and more worried.
As Mu Huaishan brought back the news that Qingxuan Sect had discovered the Lingshi mine, it made Ancestor Yang of the Hongshan Sect even more worried. Once this spirit stone mine is on the right track, it will be able to provide more resources to the Qingxuan Sect and train more monks for them. If the Qingxuan Sect becomes stronger and stronger, it will gradually encroach on the Hongshan Sect’s sphere of influence.
In the past thousand years, the Qingxuan Sect has not only pioneered in the southern wilderness, but also vigorously supported the Foundation Building family under its command in the north near the Hongshan Sect.
This is how foundation-building families such as the Jiufengshan Ma family and the Liucheng Zhu family developed.
In order to suppress the development of Qingxuanzong, Patriarch Yang made up his mind to fight against Qingxuanzong and suppress Qingxuanzong after careful consideration.
After all, Qingxuanzong had just captured Shuangjiao Mountain and controlled six fourth-level spiritual veins in the Southern Wilderness. These six fourth-level spiritual veins were inseparable from the guarding of the Zifu monks.
Although they have thirteen Zifu monks, they cannot mobilize too many manpower. Compared with Hongshan Sect, they are probably at a disadvantage.
