Chapter 718
"The first guess is more likely."
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan sent a message to Li Yin, asking him to keep an eye on the situation of the third major encirclement and suppression.
Be sure to report all the details.
Chu Xuan took a step forward and returned to the Giant Star Jiyin Cave, "Continue to practice."
"Then the progress of the "Dahua Zizai Tianmo Sutra" must be kept up."
"And the escape technique and defense spells that come with it should also be practiced more to improve proficiency in case of emergency."
...
Half a year later, Yancheng, Chang'an Pavilion.
Chu Xuan sat under the peach tree and drank tea, and Li Yin reported respectfully.
"...Master, the above are the families participating in this major encirclement and suppression."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
The Baili family said that the Nanlu sects might have some movements and could not fight on two fronts, so they did not take action.
Among the second-class families, the Xiao family and the Gong family did not show up.
Almost all the other second-class and third-class families participated in this major encirclement and suppression.
In just a few days, several strongholds of the Kuangfeng Society were taken down, and several Nascent Soul Tribulation cultivators were caught and beheaded for public display.
As a result, morale was greatly boosted.
The aristocratic cultivators were eager to fight, and they wanted to rush into the Shiwan Mountains right now, find the base camp of the Kuangfeng Society, and capture the damned leader Feng Chengjue and chop him into pieces!
Chu Xuan casually said, "What's the situation in the Southern Continent of the Dark Domain? Tell me about it."
Li Yin said respectfully, "The Southern Continent is completely opposite to the Northern Continent. The Northern Continent is dominated by aristocratic families, and all cultivators must unite around aristocratic families. Bloodline is everything."
"Non-aristocratic cultivators with extraordinary talents must also marry into aristocratic families to obtain more cultivation resources."
"The Southern Continent is dominated by sects, and the cultivation atmosphere is more relaxed, not bloodline supremacy. But I heard that the Southern Continent is almost full of demon sects, and the hierarchy is quite strict."
"The sect elders have the power of life and death over disciples. Once a disciple offends the elders, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence."
"The same is true for inner disciples and outer disciples."
"Every leap to a higher level is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, a world of difference."
Chu Xuan thought, "Looking at the reaction of the Baili family, have there always been conflicts between the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent?"
Li Yin nodded, "I have also heard that it is said that the Southern Continent , Beilu had fought two large-scale monk wars before, which are known as the two Civil Wars. "
"The first Civil War took place seven thousand years ago. Beilu took advantage of the civil strife in Nanlu and raided Nanlu. At first, it had the upper hand and occupied one-third of Nanlu, but in the later period, it was constrained by factors such as greed for merit and recklessness, and issued orders in multiple places. In the end, it had to plunder and retreat to Beilu. "
"The second Civil War took place five thousand years ago. Nanlu had accumulated for a long time and planted a large number of spies in Beilu. Finally, it found the right time to launch a sneak attack. "
"The Baili family was only a second-class family at that time. It was precisely because of the greatest contribution, the most results, and the strongest preservation in the second Civil War that it eventually replaced the former first-class family and became the new overlord of Beilu. "
"The Baili family's out-of-body ancestor was also successfully promoted during the second Civil War, forcing Nanlu to retreat. Many sects in Nanlu hated the Baili family for this reason. "
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
"The war between the north and the south was the first time he heard of it.
It was quite interesting.
Moreover, the Baili family used the excuse of being on guard against the Southern Land Demon Sect as an excuse to not participate in the great encirclement and suppression, and no one could say anything against it.
Instead, they had to reluctantly praise it a few times.
Li Yin reported the matter and soon left respectfully.
Chu Xuan did not pay much attention to it.
Anyway, it was destined to be a failed great encirclement and suppression.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Gong Hai came to Chang'an Pavilion to have tea with Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan smiled, "Daoyou Tianlei, why do you have time to come to me today?"
Gong Hai's Taoist name is "Tianlei".
Gong Hai scratched his head and chuckled, "You are the VIP of the Gong family. I just came to you to drink tea and discuss Taoism."
Chu Xuan took a sip, "Daoyou Tianlei has never been good at lying. It's better to speak directly if you have something to say."
Gong Hai smiled awkwardly and muttered, "I knew I should speak directly..."
Chu Xuan said casually, "Someone must be talking about me behind my back."
Gong Hai was surprised, "You already know?"
Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "The great encirclement and suppression is now unstoppable. The large and small strongholds of the Kuangfeng Society have been eliminated one by one. The major families have made a lot of money. Of course I know."
"Presumably, it was Gong Chen and others. People were talking behind my back, saying that the Gong family should have participated in this great encirclement and suppression, and they also made a lot of money. "
"In the end, the Gong family's decision was influenced by me, and they could only stay out of it."
"It's more painful to watch others make money than to lose money yourself, right?"
Gong Hai had to scratch his head and laugh awkwardly, and after a while he said, "I came here specially to ask Brother Zhang not to blame them."
Chu Xuan said lightly, "As long as they don't hang around in front of me, I'm too lazy to do it."
Gong Hai took a long breath, "That's good, I will also restrain Gong Chen and others and let them stay in Gongcheng."
Chu Xuan's face was normal.
Gong Hai took out two paper bags from the Qiankun bag and handed them over, smiling friendly, "These two bags of dome nectar are top-quality goods. I specially asked for them from Uncle Yang. You keep them and drink them slowly."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded.
He knew that Gong Tianyang also liked to drink tea very much, especially the dome nectar of the Gong family.
The best dome nectar has always been reserved for Gong Tianyang.
Gong Hai actually asked for two bags from Gong Tianyang.
It seems that the two ancestors of the Gong family are still on his side.
He does not regret his original decision.
It's a good thing to have such a consistent host.
However, just because the core of the main family has brains does not mean that individual family monks also have brains.
Especially people like Gong Chen.
When he first glanced at Gong Chen, he knew that he was a hot-tempered and irritable person.
If the great siege continued unabated, maybe Gong Chen might actually rush in front of him, point at his nose and yell at him.
Henry Chu’s eyes were indifferent, “If that day comes, this person’s life will come to an end.”
…
March has passed again.
Gong Hai, Gong Yue'e, Gong Chen and others drove turtles in the clouds and arrived outside Chang'an Pavilion.
Gong Chen's face was filled with guilt, his face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Gong Yue'e said calmly, "Uncle Chen, please go in and apologize."
Gong Chen sighed, "I understand."
When he came to the door of Chang'an Pavilion, he knelt down.
"Zhang Gongfeng, old rotten Gong Chen!"
"I apologize to you for what I said in the first place."
"You have great wisdom. You can see at a glance that this large-scale siege will not only be unsuccessful, but also very likely to be dangerous."
"If it weren't for your three words at the beginning, my Gong family would have participated in the great siege and suffered heavy losses like other aristocratic families."
"I, Gong Chen, kowtow to you and admit my mistake!"
After saying that, he actually kowtowed three times.
The force was so strong that even his forehead was broken.
The ground was covered in blood.
