Chapter 679: Tensions Rise
At first, when Luo Xueer heard that Jiang Zongheng was coming, she thought it was the master who sent his disciples to inspect Mo He's progress and put pressure on her.
She was absolutely right about this.
After having three large groups of manpower supported by Iwakuni, she was at the forefront of digging the river day and night. She felt that it could be said to be the most fulfilling and laborious period since coming to Xiaoguo, and the results were also remarkable.
In order to emphasize this point, when Zhou Wangshen sent someone to send a message, Luo Xueer even said that she was busy with work and could not go over to meet her in person.
On the Xiao Kingdom side, Zhou Wangshen also opened a fairy city imitating Beiyuan City.
But after all, without Chen Mobai's full support, this fairy city can only be regarded as a large-scale city so far.
When the fairy city was first built, Zhou Wangshen did not forget to ask Chen Mobai to give it a name.
Chen Mobai thought for a while and directly asked him to use the name Shengqing.
Naturally, Zhou Wangshen had no objection to this, and thought it was because the leader was nostalgic and wanted to commemorate his ancestor who had passed away.
In Shengqingfang City, Zhou Wangshen was drinking tea with Jiang Zongheng. The two were talking about the hottest topic in the Eastern Wasteland recently.
Luo Yixuan exposed the strength of Jiedan, showed great power, and led the Shenmu Sect's army to attack Nanxuan Sect.
Zhou Wangshen was also very surprised by this at first. After all, this meant a battle with Xuanxiao Dao Palace, but he soon realized that this was also his best opportunity to increase his contribution.
After all, he can't compare to Eyun in terms of economic and infrastructure development. It depends on whether he can overtake him in a corner by relying on war.
Zhou Wangshen also applied to the sect to bring the army of Xiao Kingdom to help Luo Yixuan.
However, Yan Guo's manpower was enough to deal with Nan Xuanzong without Fang Xuanyang, so the sect's reply was to tell him to hold his troops still. If Nan Xuanzong escaped, he would be killed without mercy.
"Old Ancestor Luo is worthy of being the most talented person under the leader. His elixir formation speed is almost as fast as that of the leader."
Zhou Wangshen looked envious. After the news of Luo Yixuan's elixir formation spread, the admiration for Chen Mobai, a great teacher in the Eastern Wasteland, reached an unprecedented peak.
Everyone generally believes that Luo Yixuan's ability to form pills may be due to her outstanding talent, but more importantly, it must be because she has been taught and taught by Master Chen for many years.
"I was also quite surprised by the news about Senior Sister Luo forming a pill..."
Jiang Zongheng also told the truth. Chen Mobai has always believed that the less people know, the more secrets can be kept, so whether it is Zhou Shengqing or Luo Yixuan, only those who must know know.
It’s not that you don’t trust other people, but that there are countless strange skills and secrets in the world of immortality. There are also weird demons and evil spirits here. If the person who knows the secret falls into the hands of his opponent, he may be killed if he is determined. Mysterious magic pries open secrets.
The two of them were chatting and marveling at the fact that the sect might have a decisive battle with Xuanxiao Dao Palace next, when the people sent by Zhou Wangshen came back.
When they heard that Luo Xueer was busy with the project and could not come over, Jiang Zongheng and Zhou Wangshen were both slightly stunned.
Jiang Zongheng also often led the disciples of Changsheng Academy to help his second senior sister Zhuo Ming dig rivers in Yanguo, but no matter how busy he was, he could hardly find time to meet.
"Is Senior Sister Luo so busy?"
However, he didn't know much about the situation in Xiao Kingdom, so after hesitating for a while, he asked Zhou Wangshen.
"Junior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Luo have been at the forefront of Mohe this year, commanding the sect disciples and various contractors, trying to catch up with the progress that fell behind in the previous few years..."
Zhou Wangshen didn't expect that Luo Xue'er wouldn't come over, but they were both prosperous, so they immediately helped and started looking for compensation.
"Master asked me to invite Senior Sister Luo to come over. If she is really so busy, then I can only go back and report like this."
Jiang Zongheng said with a regretful look on his face. Because the heretic Jindan was being watched by all the foundation-building monks in the sect, in order to avoid causing trouble, Chen Mobai only asked him to summon Luo Xueer.
After hearing this, Zhou Wangshen's expression changed slightly: "It turns out that the master summoned me, so no matter how busy Senior Sister Luo is, she will still be ordered to do so. I will ask Bingyan and Zeyang to go to the Mohe front line to replace Senior Sister for a while."
Because Jiang Zongheng did not mention the specific reason when he came over, so when Zhou Wangshen sent someone to convey it, he did not emphasize it specifically.
If Chen Mobai had been summoned earlier this morning, how could she dare to show off?
Jiang Zongheng waited for another long time.
As soon as she heard that the leader had summoned her, Luo Xueer immediately dropped what she was doing.
"Junior Sister Zhou, Junior Brother Wu, this section of the river is related to the opening and watering of thousands of acres of spiritual fields nearby. It is very important..."
However, Luo Xueer was indeed busy with the project. When Zhou Bingyan and Wu Zeyang came to replace her, she was still a little worried.
And when she and Jiang Zongheng came to Beiyuan City together, and when they heard that the heretic golden elixir was going to be given to her in advance, Luo Xueer, who was kneeling down below, almost turned her thighs blue.
If she missed this, she would probably regret it to death!
"Thank you very much, Master! Thank you very much, Master!"
Luo Xueer was so excited that she couldn't help herself. On the top of the mountain in Beiyuan City, she saluted Chen Mobai one after another.
"The sect is about to have a battle with Xuanhuo Dao Palace, and we need more Dan-forming combat power. You have worked hard for the sect for many years, and you have worked diligently to open up rivers in Xiaoguo. This can be regarded as your own performance that impressed me. ”
As Chen Mobai spoke, he stretched out his hand and grasped it, and the water-attribute heretic golden elixir fell into his palm.
Luo Xueer's bright eyes immediately stared at her, her snow-white cheeks were red, and her excitement was beyond words.
"If you use this thing, you will either live or die when you form a pill in the future. I will give you one last chance. Do you choose to refine it?"
Chen Mobai still respected every monk under his command very much. Meng Hong used the heretic golden elixir because he had no other choice.
And it is possible for Luo Xueer to try to use her own foundation to truly form an elixir.
"Master, I am willing!"
But Luo Xueer didn't hesitate at all.
For the monks in the Eastern Wasteland, it is already a great honor to have the hope of forming an elixir.
Although the life and death of the heretic golden elixir is unpredictable, at least the hope of impacting the elixir is higher than any external elixir.
After Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu failed to connect pills one after another, Luo Xueer, who believed that her talent was almost the same as theirs, had already weighed it.
Chen Mobai: "You can choose to go back to Jumuling or Beiyuan City to refine. If you go back, you can go to Gu Yan and ask her to take you to my Changshengmu Dojo and use the fourth-level spiritual energy there to refine."
Luo Xueer: "Just in Beiyuan City, there are still many questions that need to be consulted by the leader."
The key to heretic golden elixir lies only in refining, and the impact of spiritual energy is minimal.
Chen Mobai didn't know much about the Heavenly Waterfall Kung Fu, but with the Wuxiang Doll in hand, he could easily deduce this technique to the stage of pill formation, even with the help of spiritual stones.
Although Luo Xueer has reached foundation building perfection, her understanding of this technique cannot be said to be proficient.
After Chen Mobai's guidance from beginning to end, she suddenly realized that her previous understanding of this technique was somewhat biased.
"In the future, before you prepare to formally form the elixir, you can go to Fengyuwu to guard Meng Hong for a period of time and ask Brother Nujiang for advice."
Nujiang used the Heavenly Waterfall Technique to form elixirs, and used this technique to fight monsters in Yunmengze for two hundred years. It can be said that he is extremely proficient.
"Yes, Master."
Luo Xueer was also very happy about this. After all, Nujiang's experience in forming pills was the most useful to her.
Since Chen Mobai said this, it means that Nujiang will definitely give him face.
Zhou Shengqing had already gone to the ruins at this time, so the cave on the top of the mountain prepared for him was given to Luo Xueer by Chen Mobai.
time flies.
The elite of the twelve divisions of the three halls of the Shenmu Sect, led by Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin, two monks with perfect foundations, have arrived in Beiyuan City by flying boat.
A total of thirty foundation-building monks and three thousand Qi practitioners formed a battle formation and were stationed in the open space outside Beiyuan City. From time to time, they practiced the terrifying scene of Jiamu Taoist soldiers, which made the major casual cultivators and families in the city... The monks were horrified.
It seems that the battle with Xuanhuo Dao Palace is inevitable.
Although the Shenmu Sect is the overlord of the Eastern Wasteland, the name of the Nascent Soul Sect still awes many monks. Therefore, many monks took advantage of the war to start selling off their properties in Beiyuan City. If they want to leave this place, they are destined to become The place of battlefield.
In this regard, Chen Mobai did not stop him. He just took this opportunity to see clearly who was really willing to side with the Shenmu Sect.
There is no problem for the casual cultivators to run away. They mainly want to see the major families.
Facts have proved that most families have chosen to retreat in the face of possible confrontation with the Nascent Soul Party.
They all made excuses one after another to dispatch the core disciples of the families in Beiyuan City back to their own clans to avoid being recruited by the Shenmu Sect and becoming cannon fodder.
Under Chen Mobai's order, Shenmu Sect did not stop him in any way.
Soon, Beiyuan City, which was originally bustling and bustling with people, lost more than half of its people.
In the real estate transaction market, the buying and selling prices are decreasing every day, and they will soon reach the bottom.
In this regard, Liu Wenbai, who had just been summoned by Chen Mobai, immediately saw the business opportunity. After asking for instructions, he immediately asked his disciple Song Huangda to come forward and start buying the bottom.
With sufficient spiritual stones, nearly half of the properties in Beiyuan City soon fell into the name of Xiaonan Shanpu.
Naturally, this kind of behavior cannot be hidden from those who are interested.
Although many foundation-building monks of Shenmu Sect are not very sure about the decisive battle with Xuanxiao Dao Palace, they have been bound to the sect. For them, this battle can only be won but not defeated.
So they also took the opportunity to buy at low prices, and some even bought several sets.
Half a month later, after Luo Yixuan led the Shenmu Sect's army to defeat the Nanxuan Sect, the trend of selling properties in Beiyuan City stopped.
At this time, the monks in Donghuang were confused.
After half a month, no matter how slow the response from Xuanxiao Dao Palace was, they must have received the news. Why was there no response at all?
Where is Fang Xuanyang?
Could it be that he was killed by the murderous leader Chen of Shenmu Sect?
Where is the famous Nascent Soul cultivator, Patriarch Jinfeng?
You won't be held back by the evil spirits in the ruins, right?
Just when the major sects in Donghuang and even Chen Mobai were wondering why there was no movement at all from the Xuanhuo Dao Palace, news came from Zhou Shengqing.
He cleared away some evil beasts in the ruins and found a suitable place for war.
There is a third-level spiritual vein there, and it contains wood spiritual energy. The Shenmu Sect's armored wood Taoist soldiers can exert more powerful power when deployed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately led the Shenmu Sect's army to the battlefield.
As for Beiyuan City, he handed it over to E Yun, who returned after destroying Nanxuan Sect.
Luo Yixuan, a Jindan warrior, was naturally taken away by him.
The actions of the Shenmu Sect army were upright, and the whole Donghuang became excited in an instant!
Is the fight finally about to start!
I don’t know what Shenmu Sect relies on, and dares to confront the Yuanying Sect?
Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling even prayed that the two sects would be defeated, leaving them time to develop into a Nascent Soul!
Only a month has passed, and the disciples they sent to the front line still haven’t seen the army coming from Xuanxiao Dao Palace.
What’s going on?
Is the reaction so slow?
Two months have passed, and there is still no war!
Could it be that Xuanxiao Dao Palace retreated?
Three months later, Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling couldn’t help but despise the Jinfeng Patriarch in their hearts.
A dignified Yuanying cultivator, being treated so shamelessly by their sect in the countryside of Donghuang, actually became a coward, unworthy of being a Yuanying!
If the two of them had formed infants, even if Shenmu Sect killed one of their Qi training disciples, they would make the headmaster Chen kneel down and come to apologize!
Just when the whole East Wasteland was puzzled by the retreat of the Jinfeng Patriarch and the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, the Dongyi side was also the same.
The Baiwu Patriarch of Yurihai even summoned Chu Zuoshu to ask him why Shenmu Sect dared to attack Nanxuan Sect.
Chu Zuoshu naturally couldn't explain it, but he had many years of experience as a headmaster and was also able to deal with it properly.
He directly accused Nanxuan Sect of oppressing the native cultivators of the East Wasteland, selling foundation-building pills without providing protection, and condoning the plundering of his disciples.
The Baiwu Patriarch was puzzled when he heard it.
Aren't these normal? Which big sect in Tianhe Realm doesn't do this? You Shenmu Sect can't stand such a small thing?
The newly appointed Xiao Chen has a strong character, worthy of being a sword cultivator!
This was the first impression that Bai Wu Patriarch had of Chen Mobai!
However, what he didn't know was that the news of his summoning Chu Zuoshu was known by the spies of Xuanxiao Dao Palace ambushing in Yu Ri Hai, and it was soon reported back to Mingjing Mountain.
"The old thief really wants to harm me!"
After hearing the news, Jin Feng Patriarch was furious.
And Xuan Guang and other Jindan below also denounced Bai Wu Patriarch for being insidious and cunning, with a vicious mind. Fortunately, the ancestor had a sharp eye and saw the conspiracy long ago, otherwise their army would have been ambushed and destroyed by Kong Sang Valley and Yu Ri Hai.
"Send a disciple, holding my letter, to invite the heads of the major chambers of commerce such as Xingtian in Dongyi to come."
After Jin Feng Patriarch was angry, he could only calm down and face reality.
If Kong Sang Valley and Yu Ri Hai joined forces, if he wanted to resolve this war, he could only seek help from outside.
