Immortal Path Evergreen
Chapter 21 Shadow
The night was getting darker and darker. When Zhang Zhixuan and others had just fallen asleep, in a valley more than a hundred miles away from Xihefang, dozens of men in black were scattered in the middle of the valley.
"Is everyone here?" A hoarse voice broke the silence. The person who spoke looked old and had extraordinary cultivation. He exuded a faint spiritual pressure and should be a monk who had accomplished foundation building.
The man in black went around and counted the people, and a capable middle-aged monk said: "Senior He, all the people I contacted have arrived, but the monks from Senior Hu's family should not have arrived yet."
He Laodao smiled coldly: "Don't worry about him. This old fox has always been greedy. As long as he smells a little fishy smell, he can't control his claws."
The middle-aged monk continued: "There are third-level spiritual veins in Xihefang, and there are also foundation-building monks stationed there. There are more than fifty shops inside, and there are more than a hundred monks stationed there.
This scale is no smaller than the lair of an ordinary foundation-building family. If we launch it rashly, we may not have much chance of winning.
Without Senior Hu's participation, our chances of winning are not great. Even if we succeed, we may not be able to leave Qingxuan Sect's territory safely. "
He Laodao waved his hand, interrupted the middle-aged monk, and said impatiently: "Looking at the current situation, the old fox is already preparing to settle in the southeast. In this way, he will not be able to attack Xihefang City, which is protected by the five major families.
If he dared to do this, he would be slapping Qingxuanzong in the face and openly overturning the order established by Qingxuanzong, so it was impossible for the old fox and the others to come forward in public.
If he can hide behind, cover us, and let us leave the three southeastern counties, it will be worthwhile for us to cooperate with his family. "
"But since the Hu family doesn't have any manpower, we have no chance of winning in the attack on Fangshi." The middle-aged Taoist priest's face turned anxious and he said with some fear in his voice.
"Don't worry, the Hu family won't take action, but Wei Mazi will definitely take action." He Laodao said confidently.
"It would be better if Senior Wei could get involved, but I heard that Senior Wei's fight with Zhang Leqian thirty years ago hurt his roots and he has disappeared for thirty years. This news may not be accurate." A young monk looked at He The old man took a look and said.
"Wei Mazi is indeed seriously injured. He has been away from here for thirty years to avoid disaster. However, during these thirty years, his apprentice has built a foundation. This time, the master and apprentice sneaked back to the three southeastern counties, obviously hoping to make another profit. Pen.
If they don't take Xihefang City into consideration, are they going to attack the home base of the five major families? "He Laodao explained patiently in order to dispel their doubts.
After hearing the inside story revealed by He Laodao, the middle-aged monk said excitedly: "Senior Wei was a late-stage foundation-building monk thirty years ago. This time we come out, our chances of winning are tenfold."
He Laodao waved his hand and said: "Don't be careless. This time Wei Mazi came out, his cultivation and magic power were far inferior to those thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, Wei Mazi underestimated the enemy and insisted on attacking Jiuhua Mountain. He encountered Zhang Leqian, a tough opponent, and was injured by a fourth-level magic talisman. He has not recovered yet.
His current level is far inferior to that of thirty years ago. If he really wants to take action, he may not be able to defeat the monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
The reason why he wanted to attack Xihefang was to collect a sum of resources to buy a good elixir and recover from the old illness he suffered thirty years ago. "
Seeing that three foundation-building monks had joined, the middle-aged monk still said confidently: "Even so, with Senior Wei and his disciples, plus Senior He, we have three foundation-building monks, which is far better than Xihefang.
I heard that there is only one foundation-building monk Wu Xiangyuan in Xihefang. "
"But there is a third-level formation in Xihefang. With the help of the formation, Wu Xiangyuan can block three foundation-building monks for a long time.
Those of us who attack rashly may still be disgraced. "The young monk said hesitantly as if he was not optimistic about this action.
"Boy Guo, your father Guo Tongshan also has plans to settle here. Naturally, he will not eat grass near his nest to avoid being discovered by the local monks. But if you dare to tell the truth today, we will immediately destroy your entire Guo family." The middle-aged monk said with a look. With a sharp voice, he said harshly.
"Wang Xuanke, don't talk nonsense. If you weren't in front of Senior He, I would make you look good today.
We traveled thousands of miles from the state of Wu to the southeast of the state of Yu. We left our hometown and became casual monks to earn a living. It was not easy for us to gain a foothold.
Once you grab this vote, you will immediately become a lost dog.
Even with the help of Senior Hu, I am afraid that the greatest benefit will still fall into the hands of the old fox, and we have to leave the familiar place.
Even if you go to another country, it will take decades to integrate, which seems uneconomical.
Senior He, our family was defeated in the Wu Kingdom and supported each other through hardships to escape the enemy's pursuit. Why can't we settle down and accumulate wealth?
Instead, he wants to become a bandit among immortal cultivators?
In this kind of life, if we fail once, we will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and many years of hard work will be destroyed in one fell swoop. "
The young man surnamed Guo had already settled down and didn't want to leave here and wander around, so he begged.
After hearing these words, He Laodao said bitterly: "I also know that running around is not good, but where do the resources for cultivation come from?
Over the years, due to lack of training resources, we have had more than 40 Qi cultivators return to the innate stage.
Spiritual stones, spiritual veins, spiritual herbs, and spiritual objects are all under the control of Qingxuan Sect. Even if some are occasionally missed, they are still occupied by the immortal cultivating families attached to Qingxuan Sect.
In order to seize resources, we can only rob and seize them, otherwise we can only risk going deep into the mountains of the Southern Wilderness to hunt monsters and beasts in exchange for resources.
This is how the world is. How can we practice without robbing or taking away? "
He Laodao's words were full of pathos and heroism.
Immortal cultivators may seem superior, but in fact they face fierce competition everywhere.
If these monks who failed in the competition do not want to fight against the monsters to open up a living space, they can only become casual cultivators who rely on plunder. They have no resources to cultivate immortality without fighting for them.
And relying on looting will not last long. If one fails, the horse will stumble. As long as they fail once, these people will inevitably die.
He Laodao's words directly made everyone present speechless.
Unless monks give up the avenue, as long as they compete for resources for cultivating immortals, there will be killing, death, and blood.
This group of monks are not casual cultivators from the mortal world. They are either from cultivating families or from cultivating sects.
The leisurely glory of the past is still vivid in my mind.
They don't want to live a day without spiritual stones and elixirs.
However, when they entered the Southern Wilderness to hunt monsters and compete for spiritual veins and elixirs from the monsters, the casualties were extremely heavy, which was far less satisfying than burning, killing and looting.
In the decades after their defeat in Wu State, these people went to Yu State and committed three major crimes.
Relying on the looted spiritual stones and spiritual objects, these people have survived tenaciously for decades.
Over the years, they have repeatedly committed major crimes. In order to survive, the monks who fled back then have become more united.
