Immortal Path Evergreen

When Huaping Mountain in Jiangnan County received a message from Li Zigong, Taoist Jin Lan, who was in the deepest city, also looked a little sad.

Since seizing the three counties of Hongshan Sect, Qingxuan Sect has developed more and more rapidly. In just twenty years, thousands of children with spiritual roots have been selected from the mortals in the three counties. In addition to joining their respective families, these children have been recruited by Qingxuan Sect. Xuanzong returned to the sect.

Among them, seven children with second spiritual roots have joined the sect. These children with good spiritual roots will be the foundation for the development and growth of the sect in the future.

Not only that, Qingxuan Sect can gain great benefits from the three northern counties every year, especially the city in Yuntai Mountain, which can bring an income of 20,000 spirit stones to Qingxuan Sect every year. This city is very important to Qingxuan Sect. The importance of Xuanzong is no less than that of the Lingshi Mine in Chaoyin Mountain.

Taoist Jin Lan would naturally think carefully about giving up such a huge benefit, and would not choose to let it go until the last moment.

"A letter came from Zigong. Two groups of monsters have crossed the Black Mountains and are preparing to invade Taicheng County. Zhang Zhixuan from the Black Mountains is unable to support them, so he can only ask for help from the sect."

After hearing what Patriarch Jin said, Zhu Wuya said with an unhappy face: "Since Zhang Zhixuan can't resist the monster, he should give up the Black Mountain Spiritual Vein and hand it over to a virtuous person. He shouldn't just eat the corpse and just eat it if he encounters trouble." Push it to the sect.”

He has been operating in the three northern counties for more than 40 years, and a large part of the interests of the three northern counties are under his control. Therefore, when he heard that Jin Laozu said something wrong and had the intention of abandoning the three northern counties, Zhu Wuya immediately objected.

Ancestor Jin gave Zhu Wuya a meaningful look and said seriously: "Wuya, the sect's two fifth-level spiritual veins are both in Southern Wasteland. We have been operating in the three southeastern counties for thousands of years, and our foundation has long been established. In the Southern Wasteland, if Taihong Mountain is conquered, the sect will also focus half of its energy on the north. However, under the current situation, the interests of the three northern counties are far less than those of the three southeastern counties. Once Taicheng County suffers heavy losses, Zhang Wu and other purple I’m afraid the Fu family will feel resentful.”

Zhu Wuya said: "Even if Zhang Wu is resentful and leaves the sect's protection, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the Yu Kingdom."

Patriarch Jin objected: "You are wrong. The most important thing for the sect to survive is the sect's popular support. If you abandon the three southeastern counties, it will actually consume the sect's credit and affect the sect's foundation. We must not go down this path.”

Zhu Wuya asked back: "But ancestor, how can we explain to the families of the three northern counties who support us if we give up the three northern counties? If we abandon them, it will also consume the sect's credit and affect the sect's reputation." foundation.”

Patriarch Jin paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally made up his mind and said: "You first pass down a strict order to let the monk families in Jiangnan and Luyang counties retreat to Jiangkou County. If they are unwilling to withdraw, it means that they are still in conflict with Hongshan. Zong Goulian, you can also use an excuse to clear out the retreat. Even the mortals in the two counties would rather starve to death on the road than leave Yang Wangyuan to strengthen his foundation."

Zhu Wuya asked: "If the families from the two counties are evacuated, what should we do about Huaping Mountain?"

Ancestor Jin said without hesitation: "Give up Huaping Mountain completely and leave it to Hongshan Sect to disperse part of their power. Don't blow up the spiritual veins on the mountain, and keep all the unripe elixirs."

Zhu Wuya asked doubtfully: "Isn't this an advantage for Yang Wangyuan?"

"This is an opportunity for us to give Yang Wangyuan. If he is willing to live in harmony, we will use Jiangkou County as the boundary in the future and put the sect's focus on the Southern Wilderness. Although the Southern Wilderness is desolate, in terms of resources, it is more suitable for the sect. The development of the door." Jin Patriarch said.

"If Hongshan Sect still won't give up, what should we do?"

"Then we also gave up Jiangkou County and Yuntai Mountain. At the critical moment, we even gave up all the fourth-level spiritual veins such as Chaoyin Mountain, Heishan, and Tuoshan, and only kept the sect's Zifu foundation. As long as our high The high-level monks still have the upper hand, and Yang Wangyuan cannot take away our interests," Patriarch Jin said decisively.

Zhu Wuya said: "I know what Uncle Jin means. I will make arrangements immediately and prepare to completely abandon Jiangnan and Luyang counties. However, there are many families in the two counties and millions of mortals. With such a large number of people migrating, our I’m afraid the preparations are not enough, and there will definitely be heavy casualties on the road.”

Patriarch Jin said with an unchanging expression: "No matter how many people die, they will still migrate. This is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the two sects, and there is no room for mercy. If these people are left to Yang Wangyuan, I am afraid that the Hongshan sect will be destroyed again in a hundred years." It has become a serious problem for us. In recent years, Yang Wangyuan has been training his troops and preparing supplies, and he has already prepared to seize the opportunity to regain his hometown. This time, I will follow his wish and see if he dares to divide his troops and station them at Huaping Mountain. "

Now, although Hongshan Sect and Nanlu Pavilion have joined forces to protect themselves, it is a pity that the number of Zifu monks in the two sects is relatively small. After Bi Qilong of Nanlu Pavilion disappeared, there are only six Zifu monks left. Hongshan Sect does not have Song Xuerui, and only Zifu monks are left. Five people.

If you want to exert the power of the fifth-level formation and resist the attack led by the Jindan monks, you must stay at least four Zifus.

The power they could mobilize was only two golden elixirs and three purple mansions, plus more than a hundred foundation-building monks and two to three thousand Qi-training monks.

There are Chaoyin Mountain monks in the three northern counties to reinforce at any time. They have gathered one golden elixir, six Zifus, more than 160 foundation-building monks, 15,000 Qi-training monks, and formations to rely on. Even if The Hongshan Sect has two golden elixirs. It has an advantage over the high-level monks and can have a little initiative, but it is difficult to capture the fourth-level spiritual veins guarded by the Zifu monks.

As Zhu Wuya issued the order to retreat to Jiangkou County, the three northern counties that had finally been peaceful for twenty years ushered in turmoil again.

This time, the Qingxuan Sect's order was very strict. As long as the family had a little bit of brains, they dared not violate it. Even in difficult times, they could only obey the order and slowly migrate to Jiangkou County.

Among these migrating mortals, if there were cultivators among their relatives, they could still get some care and migrate smoothly to Jiangkou County.

If there were no cultivators to take care of them, due to insufficient preparation and the long journey, countless corpses were left along the way. The population that died on the road exceeded one million, and the population that could migrate safely to the destination was less than half of the original.

These mortals who migrated to Jiangkou County had already secretly hated the Qingxuan Sect.

Unfortunately, this world is the world of immortal cultivators. In this world, the most powerful power belongs to the immortal cultivators themselves. Even if the mortals in the two counties hated the Qingxuan Sect cultivators, they could not change the decision of Taoist Jinlan, let alone their own tragic fate.

In this world, the only way for a cultivator to change his destiny is to practice cultivation. If there is a Jindan cultivator to rely on in the two counties, the peace of the area can be maintained and the area will not be caught up in a war between the two sects and become cannon fodder in decades of tug-of-war.
