"There are more than 30,000 guard disciples in the city, all of whom are masters of the first level or above of martial arts. The imperial court has a total army of 250,000, of which there are at least 20,000 masters of the first level or above."

"In the past few days, the imperial court has launched five large-scale attacks. Relying on the natural dangers of Tongguan, we managed to hold on. However, it is hard to say what will happen next."

"Why?"

Jiang Xun replied softly: "Because people's hearts are broken."

"People's hearts are scattered?"

"Yes, in the past half month, the Huashan sect has intentionally or unintentionally handed over all the most difficult and painful things to Jianghu people. The quality of these Jianghu people is indeed not high, but they still have some strength, and they are sufficient.

There are nearly 20,000 people.”

"If I hadn't been bullied too badly by the imperial court, or had a relative killed by the imperial court, I would have come to the northwest without hesitation. But what is the difference between the Huashan faction and the imperial court?"

"Although the Huashan faction has been suppressing the news, Captain Shi found out that more than a thousand Jianghu people have escaped in the past half month. I heard that our Qingcheng faction is very good to these Jianghu people, so they all went to join us.

It’s Qingcheng.”

Lin Ye nodded, but he also smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he could feel that most of the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect also looked down on these Jianghu people. This was just because when the alliance was originally formed, only a small number of Jianghu people were assigned to the Qingcheng Sect.

These Jianghu people are still considered "a few guests", so they are taken care of quite considerately.

But the situation of the Huashan sect is different. The Huashan sect only has 10,000 people, but there are 20,000 Jianghu people. Except for the top masters, the Huashan sect can be said to be at a disadvantage in all aspects, especially when the subordinates are performing tasks, the orders from above are

In the hands of Jianghu people, the execution was completely different.

If you treat them too well, they will push you further and break the rules of the Huashan Sect.

If you are stricter with them, it will easily invade the bottom line and become a disguised form of oppression, arousing resistance from people in the world.

The most embarrassing thing is that now both sides must unite to fight against the imperial court.

This is more embarrassing.

The laxity of the Jianghu people and the arrogant rules of the famous disciples formed a sharp contrast, even confrontation. Lin Ye felt that unless people like him could neutralize the relationship between the two parties, the two parties could continue to move forward.

"Although the pressure on Tongguan is greater, it seems to be a good thing for our Qingcheng faction," Jiang Xun continued.

Lin Ye shook his head: "No, once Tongguan is forced, there will be no natural danger in the entire northwest to defend, and our Qingcheng faction will not be able to die alone... Not to mention, once the Jianghu people who defected in the past exceed a certain number, I am afraid that

The Qingcheng sect will also become the second Huashan sect."

"Senior Brother Lin, you seem to have changed a bit..." Jiang Xun suddenly said.

"Changed? He must have become more handsome!" Lin Ye blinked and insisted.

This is absolutely true. When changing clothes, he took special care of the mirror. His skin became whiter, his eyesight became brighter, and his figure got better. In short, he became more handsome in all aspects.

Maybe it has something to do with those foul-smelling black substances~

"..."

Jiang Xun was a little speechless. Although what Lin Ye said... wasn't wrong, in fact, she just vaguely felt that the aura around Lin Ye had become very different. It seemed... stronger?

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the palace in the city where Han Tianwen was. Two Huashan disciples were guarding outside. They bowed to Lin Ye and Jiang Xun and said, "Girl, stop here. Senior Han only invited City Master Lin Shao."

Enter the palace."

Jiang Xun didn't say anything more and stopped.

Since Han Tianwen took up residence in Tongguan, let alone take action, he has not even shown his face. According to the information Shi Wuwei got, Han Tianwen was seriously injured and was just here to reassure everyone.

A great master is sitting in Tongguan!

(After all, he is an old man of the Qingcheng sect. He has wide connections and a lot of information. Gongsun Hu is actually such a talent, but his strength is not good and his qualifications are too young. He is well-informed at the level of ordinary disciples, but not at the higher level.)

Lin Ye walked slowly into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall door, Lin Ye smelled a strong smell of herbs and there were gentle coughs.

"Sure enough, it's City Master Lin. Ahem, it's great that you're alive," a voice that seemed older than before came from the palace. Lin Ye looked up and saw that Han Tianwen's right arm was empty, and his original black hair had changed.

His hair has gone gray, and Han Tianwen's face has become more frowny. Two maids are helping Han Tianwen drink medicine.

As expected, the injury was severe.

"Senior Han, your injury is okay?"

"Ahem...it seems like it won't get better, but I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, the great formation in Chang'an City wouldn't have been able to break through, and many of the disciples of the Huashan Sect would have died in the city long ago."

Lin Ye said: "There is nothing to thank. I am also doing it for Northwest and our Qingcheng sect."

"City Master Lin Shao, can you...can you come closer?"

"Come closer?" Lin Ye was a little confused, but still walked a little closer: "Is this so?"

"Cough cough cough..." Han Tianwen covered his mouth and coughed several times, but he still couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes: "You...have you entered the Great Adult Stage!?"

"Dacheng stage?" Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this. Although he didn't know what the Dacheng stage was, he now clearly felt that even Xia Juncheng was not his opponent.

The Dacheng period seems to be in the past.

"I'm not very sure about this. Senior Han, what is the realm of the Great Success Stage?"

The more Han Tianwen looked at Lin Ye, the more he couldn't hide the shock in his heart. After a long silence, he murmured: "Another young Yuanwu... It seems that he is really a blessing to me."

"Shao Yuanwu?"

Lin Ye had heard of Shao Yuanwu many times, but he had never really understood the real Shao Yuanwu. He unconsciously said: "Senior Han, who is this Shao Yuanwu? Is he very powerful?"

"Of course he is powerful, even more powerful than the rumors... After all, it happened a hundred years ago, and Shao Yuanwu only lived for twenty-five years, and his deeds are only legends among the younger generation.

.”

Han Tianwen's eyes showed fire, and he said: "Regardless of his grade, he is the first person to transcend the current martial arts and step into the legendary realm! If he were not trapped by love and was willing to die of poisoning, he might be able to truly step into that realm.

The legendary realm of immortality.”

Immortality!?

The person who said this was a highly respected master of the Huashan School, otherwise Lin Ye would have thought he was a charlatan.

Looking at history, how can there be any immortality?

Even if a person as powerful as Qin Shihuang died, wouldn't he still be dead?

Han Tianwen also sensed Lin Ye's suspicion and just smiled, the fire in his eyes still undiminished.
