Chapter 226 225 The Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 226 225. The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty

Ye Wei, the eldest son of the old man, who now presides over most of the daily affairs of the Jinzhou Ye Clan, stood silently by his side.

The Tang court and the Blood River Sect both suffered losses, and this result alone was exactly what the Jinzhou Ye Clan wanted.

But the specific process was somewhat unexpected.

And on the other hand, the direct lineage of the descendants of the Sui Dynasty also suffered heavy losses, which was not the result that the Jinzhou Ye Clan wanted to see.

Of course, they had no intention of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty.

But this should have been a chess piece that could play a greater role, and its current role obviously did not meet expectations.

The White Lotus Sect must have gotten what it wanted.

Someone offered a higher price than Wei Ancheng.

What the White Lotus Sect was willing to pay such a high price to get must be important. It can be imagined that although they have the Blood River Sect as an enemy in the future, they themselves are likely to usher in a key development opportunity.

The question now is, who caused all this?

The battle of the Sleeping Dragon Lake in the Southern Wilderness is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to worry too much, but what about the future?

Will the White Lotus Sect have more transactions and cooperation with them?

"Don't rush to call Ye Liang and others back."

After a long time, the old man finally spoke: "I believe Ye Liang can handle the situation."

Ye Wei promised: "Yes, father."

The old man then asked: "Is Suzhou moving?"

Ye Wei: "It has already started."

The old man: "It's a bit hasty, but it's not a bad idea."

Ye Wei asked tentatively: "Father, we?"

The old man shook his head: "We don't have to participate, just pay attention to the changes in the situation."

Ye Wei understood: "Yes."

The old man got up, walked to the window, looked out the window, and spoke again after a long while: "Your Highness, has left the capital?"

His thoughts seemed to jump a little, and the topic kept changing.

Ye Wei was always respectful and serious: "Yes, father, His Highness has left the capital, but he is still in Zhongzhou."

The old man: "Pay more attention."

Ye Wei: "Yes, father."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Father, Brother Chengming is back."

Lin Che, the current head of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, is named Chengming.

"Brother Hongzhen will leave Jiangzhou and return to Qingzhou." Ye Wei said.

The old man nodded slightly when he heard this.

Ye Hongzhen, Ye of Qingzhou, is a high-ranking member of the Ye family in Qingzhou.

Previously, Lin Che and Lin Feng of the Jiangzhou Lin family disappeared, and Jiangzhou was empty. Ye Yan, the head of the Qingzhou Ye family, ordered him to rush to Jiangzhou to help the Jiangzhou Lin family stabilize the situation.

Now that Lin Che has returned to Jiangzhou, Ye Yan will not stay any longer.

To say that the Qingzhou Ye family may not be happy for Lin Che to return safely, but in the current environment, they have other more important plans and do not want to cause more trouble.

With Lin Che's return, the atmosphere between the Jiangzhou Lin family and the Xinzhou Longhu Mountain suddenly became subtle again.

The two sides are old enemies who have been entangled for thousands of years and have accumulated grievances. Naturally, there will be no change because of the Li family's stay or leave.

In terms of time, the two families confronted each other long before the Li family took charge of the Tianshi Mansion.

In terms of space, the two sides are too close geographically, which is the root of the grievances.

It's just that in the previous battle of Poyang Lake, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan suffered more losses, so they have never dared to start a war lightly.

But the situation was different when the war broke out between Li Wai and Tianshi Mansion, especially now that Lin Che has returned and Xu Yuanzhen has not been heard from.

"Although the opportunity is precious and may be fleeting, Jiangzhou still needs to be cautious." The old man sighed lightly: "I wonder how much Lin Chengming's style will change after the previous encounter."

Lin Che, the current clan leader of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, was already a famous figure when his clan brother, the previous clan leader Lin Qun, was still alive. Compared with the more decisive Lin Qun, Lin Che looks more stable.

But according to the observation of the Jinzhou Ye Clan, Lin Che is actually similar to Lin Qun.

If not, there would not be the action of Lin Che targeting Xu Yuanzhen at the last moment of the battle of Poyang Lake.

"I think Brother Chengming will be more cautious." Ye Weiyan said.

While they were talking, there was a message from the outside.

The old man calmly unfolded the paper and read it, his face calm. After a moment, he handed it to his eldest son Ye Wei: "Ye Liang's news from the Southern Wilds."

Ye Wei shook his head after reading it: "Even Yang Fei is dead."

The latest news from the Southern Wilds:

The second son Yang Fei, a direct descendant of the Sui Dynasty, was killed by Xiao Xueting.

In addition to the eldest son Yang Tai, whose death was previously reported but the details were unknown, and the two sons of Yang Yuqi, who were both capable, were all gone this time.

"It's not yet clear who killed Yang Tai?" Compared with Yang Fei, Yang Tai's death made the old man more interested.

Ye Wei apologized: "No more accurate news has been sent back. The current situation in the Southern Wilds is still very chaotic."

…………

The Southern Wilds are indeed in chaos now.

Some people are even more confused.

The "Ghost King" Zong Han, the holy lord of Jinchengzhai, has retreated and evacuated from the Yinshandong Holy Land.

His ghost lineage also attracted hatred, and he was with Xuehe before.

Even though everyone is paying more attention to the Blood River Sect and Wei Ancheng now, Jinchengzhai will also be liquidated later.

To be fair, Jinchengzhai is familiar with being besieged as a public enemy.

Now that there is the Blood River to attract other people's attention, they can make arrangements more calmly.

The newly built mountain gate holy land was previously attacked by Wei Ancheng and became dilapidated. It is not a pity to abandon it now.

In contrast, the death of Gao Pu, an elder who was in the eighth heaven and believed in Zong Han, made Zong Han, the master of Jinchengzhai, even more regretful.

Gao Pu lost his powerful evil soul and zombies, and his strength was greatly damaged.

If it were just this, Gao Pu's cultivation level was there after all, and even a master of the upper three days would not be able to threaten his life.

But he was first severely injured by Shangguan Yunbo holding the Golden Spear of Bandit Slaying, and then was chased by Xiao Xueting.

Lacking a strong evil soul and seriously injured by zombies, this elder of Jinchengzhai unfortunately became a stepping stone for Xiao Xueting's world-famous sword to shake the southern wilderness. The opponent defeated him with the realm of the seventh heaven and killed him, a great witch of the eighth heaven.

Zong Han could only temporarily record this account and lead the remaining descendants of Jinchengzhai to hide.

The monks of Yinshandong, led by the Saint Lord Hu Hengyuan, launched a pursuit against the monks of Jinchengzhai, but it was more symbolic.

Hu Hengyuan's mood was more complicated than Zong Han's.

To be honest, his previous estimate of this battle was a long-term stalemate and tug-of-war, and even slightly leaned towards the victory of the Blood River Sect.

As long as Yang Yuqi and Xiong Gang, Yuan Shanji, Gao Pu and others gathered around him do not hold back Wei Ancheng from within, as the top master in the Southern Wilderness, Wei Ancheng will always have greater initiative.

Moreover, Hu Hengyuan knew that Wei Ancheng still had the White Lotus Sect as a backup.

Some people in Yinshandong, such as Tian Linlong, flirted with Wei Ancheng, but Hu Hengyuan turned a blind eye and had already made arrangements.

But Hu Hengyuan really did not expect that the Blood River Sect would still lose even though Yang Yuqi and others did not hold back Wei Ancheng and even participated in the battle.

The White Lotus Sect was indeed a backup, but it was someone else's backup.

Moreover, the tacit understanding between Lunhuiyuan and Geposhan in advancing and retreating together exceeded the expectations of many people, including Wei Ancheng and Hu Hengyuan.

Wei Ancheng seemed to be domineering. After coming out of retreat, he had the momentum to sweep across the Southern Wilderness and unify the witch sect, but he had his own way of choosing targets.

It seems that they are chasing Gao Pu and kicking the gate of Jinchengzhai. In fact, even if Gao Pu did not break into Chaoyang Peak of Da Nanshan, Wei Ancheng's first target is still Jinchengzhai.

The reason is that Jinchengzhai is as unpopular as Xuehe Sect. Subduing Jinchengzhai first will not easily arouse the common hatred of other people in Wumen.

The principle of lips and teeth is simple to say, but the speed of reaction may directly determine the result when the time comes.

And Wei Ancheng's second target seems to be Yinshandong, the holy land of Gushu, but in fact, it is Geposhan, the holy land of Shenwu.

On the one hand, Hu Hengyuan himself admitted that he prefers to preserve Yinshandong and has no intention of fighting with Xuehe.

On the other hand, Geposhan's gate is the most stable, and it is better to mobilize Sang Lu than to attack the mountain directly.

It should be said that Wei Ancheng's plan has almost succeeded, but the Holy Lord of the Samsara Abyss Feng Gui came faster than expected.

In the battle of Mianlong Lake, Sang Lu was seriously injured, and Feng Gui was in good condition.

Hu Hengyuan is more concerned about the movements of Feng Gui and Lun Hui Yuan than ever before.

…………

"From this point of view, the South Wilderness will continue to be in chaos for a while." On the way back to the mountain, Lei Jun sighed after hearing the news, but his tone sounded more like gossip.

Yuan Mobai said: "The Tang Dynasty is also not peaceful."

Lei Jun turned to look at his master.

Yuan Mobai: "Just got the news that Tianlong Temple was attacked by Dakong Temple, a Buddhist heretic."

Lei Jun: "In just a few years, Dakong Temple is about to challenge the four major holy places of Buddhism."

First, the Bodhi Temple was destroyed by Dakong Temple.

Then the Vajra Temple welcomed the new abbot back to the mountain, and was intercepted by the White Lotus Sect and Dakong Temple, suffering heavy losses.

Now, Dakong Temple has found the third Buddhist holy place, Tianlong Temple.

It really fulfilled their purpose. Destruction is the norm in the world. Life does not stop, and fighting does not stop.

It's just that when Bodhi Temple was attacked earlier, Bodhi Temple itself was empty.

The White Lotus Sect was there to intercept Vajra Temple.

Now they are confronting the Tianlong Temple head-on.

"It may be another test of the Tang Dynasty's imperial family." Yuan Mobai said.

In the battle of the Southern Wilderness, Wei Ancheng and Yang Yuqi suffered losses.

The Tang Dynasty's imperial family was also distracted.

Shangguan Peng died, Shangguan Yunbo was injured, and the Golden Sword of the Bandit Slayer was contaminated and needed to be cleansed and recuperated.

Xiao Xueting and some of the Shangguan clan masters are still stranded in the Southern Wilderness.

Although Dakong Temple is confronting the Tianlong Temple head-on, the Tianlong Temple is also short of helpers.

"The Suzhou Chu clan, and possibly the Qingzhou Ye clan." Lei Jun guessed.

Yuan Mobai: "Our sect also needs to be vigilant at the moment."

Lei Jun: "Disciple understands."

Fortunately, there is no wind and waves near Longhu Mountain for the time being, and Lei Jun and his master and apprentice returned to the Tianshi Mansion safely.

It is a little unexpected that the senior brother Wang Guiyuan, who left the mountain earlier, has not returned yet.

Lei Jun was surprised: "Kidnapped?"

Junior brother Chu Kun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "No, a while ago, a fellow disciple met the senior brother outside the mountain. He asked someone to bring back a message and is expected to stay outside for a while."

Yuan Mobai smiled: "It's rare to return to the mountain, and it's a good thing. Just pay attention to safety and let him go. I think he has his own sense of propriety when he returns."

Wang Guiyuan was very quiet and wanted to move.

Yuan Mobai was busy outside. After meeting Tianshi Tang Xiaotang and explaining his experience in the southern wilderness, he would go into seclusion for a while.

"Little uncle, you can practice with peace of mind." Tianshi Tang waved his hand: "We will handle the rest."

Yuan Mobai heard the words, but his smile faded a little: "Is there something on the mountain?"

Lei Jun also looked over.

Tang Xiaotang said carelessly: "Nothing serious."

Compared with the Queen's personal visit before, it was indeed not a big deal.

As for whether it is urgent...

The current Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, with the permission of his aunt, the Empress, left the capital for the first time in his life.

At present, the carriage of the Eastern Palace has arrived at another holy place of Taoism, Chunyang Palace.

The prince's itinerary, Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, is also in the plan.
