There was a lot of discussion in Bihai Palace, almost all of which were condemning the nine sects. Some of them were grumpy and even suggested that the monks from the five major palaces should be gathered together to go out of the city to annihilate the nine sects.
Lin Yueque is the current acting palace master of Bihai Palace, and his attitude is very important. After listening to everyone's discussion, he nodded slightly and said: "Everyone, please be patient, the nine sects have gone too far to bully others, and I also
I can’t swallow this breath. We at Bihai Palace specialize in offensive attacks and have made great military exploits for Wushuang City. Now it’s time for us to show off our skills.”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall became even more intense. At least five of the eight Tongxuan True Lords also echoed their words. It was obvious that these people had long been dissatisfied with what the nine major sects were doing. At this time
They are all excited and unanimously open to the outside world.
Liang Yancai had not long joined Wushuang City, so naturally he was not as emotional as these monks. Instead, he was very calm at this time and had been secretly observing everyone's reactions.
He found that not all the monks in the main hall seemed to agree with Lin Yueque. A few of them frowned slightly and stood silently.
At this time, I heard a gentle female voice on the steps say: "Senior Brother Lin is dedicated to serving the public, and I admire him! But this matter is not so easy to handle."
As soon as this voice sounded, the discussion in the hall was suppressed again and gradually became quiet.
The person who spoke was none other than Ning Xia, another monk in the Tribulation Realm of Bihai Palace.
Just listen to her gentle voice and continue: "Today's Wushuang Domain has undercurrents and various forces are complicated. It is not just the nine sects, but also various forces from outside the domain. It can be said that one hair can affect the whole body. If we
Taking action hastily will only intensify the conflict between these forces, but will give some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it. It is better to wait and see what happens, and let the people of Yunjin Palace find out the information before making a decision."
She spoke slowly and calmly, which made some of the indignant monks calm down a little.
"Hmph, then according to Junior Sister, can we just watch the people from the Nine Major Sects stir up trouble outside, and even bully our Wushuang City, and remain unmoved?" Lin Yueque snorted angrily.
He made a sound, obviously a little dissatisfied with his junior sister.
"Senior brother, don't be angry. I'm not condoning the nine sects. I just feel that many things so far have been too coincidental. There is still too much fog in the entire Wushuang Realm, and our Wushuang City has a big tree that attracts the wind, so we really shouldn't act rashly." Ning Xia slowly said.
explained.
"Then we can't let others ride on our heads and show off their power!"
Lin Yueque was obviously a bad-tempered man. He snorted coldly and said: "When the city lord was here, all the sect leaders of the nine sects received a lot of favors from him. Now they fall out with each other at every turn. Such ungrateful villains."
, I, Lin Yueque, can’t stand it the most! Huh, if our Bihai Palace doesn’t take action, these chickens and dogs will still think that there is no one in Wushuang City!”
His words were sonorous and powerful. Many monks present nodded secretly, and some even responded. Obviously, these monks recognized Lin Yueque even more from the bottom of their hearts.
Only monks like Song Ru, who were relatively close to Ning Xia, remained silent and did not speak out. However, these monks were very few in number and were completely covered up by the voices of others.
Ning Xia looked at the reactions of the people in the hall and knew that Lin Yueque was the one whom everyone expected. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, it would be useless. She couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Since the master disappeared, my senior brother has been the acting palace master of Bihai Palace."
, since you want to lead Bihai Palace to do this, as a junior sister, I have nothing to say."
When she said this, she paused for a moment and then continued: "In Bihai Palace, there are a total of fifteen monks in the Tongxuan Realm, seventy-five monks in the Golden Core Realm, and 968 monks in the Juyuan Realm. Excluding the
Except for the seven teams performing tasks outside, the remaining forces are all in this hall. I hope that Senior Brother Lin will be cautious and not lose the manpower of our Bihai Palace due to some disputes of will."
"Of course I understand this!"
Lin Yuecao nodded, glanced at the eight Tongxuan True Lords present, and then slowly said: "Although the agreement at Cangnan Mountain is still three years away, there are some things we can do in advance. As far as I know,
The nine sects have colluded with each other and have long since secretly encroached on our territory and resources outside the city. I want you to take back these things that belong to Wushuang City. If anyone from the nine sects stops them, they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
The eight Tongxuan True Lords in the hall, whether they approved of Lin Yueque's approach or not, all raised their hands in agreement at the same time, and even Song Ru was no exception.
"Um"
Lin Yueque saw this, nodded slightly, and then announced the tasks he had planned long ago in the main hall.
Song Ru's team also quickly received their mission, and the target was a mineral vein in the southwest of the Wushuang Domain.
This vein was originally mined by the nearby Daxia Kingdom. Every year, they would hand over the mined spirit stones to Wushuang City according to a predetermined share. However, not only did they not hand over the spirit stones this year, they did not even send the news back.
.
According to Lin Yueque's inference, someone should have taken advantage of the chaos in the Wushuang Domain to secretly control the secular country of Daxia in an attempt to take the spiritual mines as their own.
And the person behind the scenes is most likely someone from the Nine Sects.
The order Song Ru and the others received on this trip was to go to Daxia to investigate the matter. If anyone from the Nine Sects interfered, they would be killed without mercy.
In the main hall, Lin Yueque was very organized and explained step by step the plan he had made long ago. Soon, the eight Tongxuan Zhenjun all received their tasks.
"Everyone understands, right? You must execute your mission quickly. You must not give the nine sects time to react. Let them know that Wushuang City is not a paper tiger. Whoever dares to disturb Tai Sui must pay the price!"
When Lin Yueque said this, his eyes swept across the crowd, with a majestic air about him, and finally said: "These tasks I just mentioned are the secrets of Bihai Palace. If anyone dares to leak them, they will be treated as such."
Punished for treason!"
These words were so cold that everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. They raised their hands and responded almost at the same time:
"I will obey the palace master's decree!"
Seeing everyone's reactions, Lin Yueque's face showed a trace of satisfaction. He nodded slightly, then raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, indicating that everyone could leave.
The eight True Lords of Tongxuan each said goodbye and left Bihai Palace with their subordinates.
Liang Yan followed Song Ru and walked out of the hall and outside the valley.
"Hey, today's Wushuang Domain is already in troubled times." Song Ru sighed, and said with some indignation: "It's all about the so-called 'Tianji Box'! You said it would not be born sooner or later, and it happened to be in the city lord
He appeared in this world during the period of his disappearance and still caused such a big disturbance in the Wushuang Realm. Is this a test from Heaven to our Wushuang City?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan and others didn't look very good.
Fang Liren didn't hear that the two laymen were loyal to Wushuang City. Now that Wushuang City is suffering from internal and external troubles, their mood will naturally not be any better.
Liang Yan frowned because the matter was too big and disturbed his Qingxiu.
The reason why he came to Wushuang City was not only to investigate the mark on his chest, but also because he wanted to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and planned to use the resources of Wushuang City to practice quietly. As for the disturbances from the outside world, it had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he has never taken the initiative to take on a mission since he joined Wushuang City until now.
I originally thought that this kind of pure cultivation could continue, but who could have expected that after just two and a half years of cultivation, the situation in the Wushuang Domain has changed drastically. Now the nine sects have joined forces to force each other, and the situation is very delicate.
Lin Yueque, the acting lord of Bihai Palace, is obviously an active war sect and will attack the nine sects before the Cangnan Mountain agreement is held three years later.
After his order, Liang Yan, as a monk of Bihai Palace, couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he had to bite the bullet and complete it.
Therefore, after coming out of the main hall of Bihai Palace, although Song Ru and others were worried, Liang Yan's face did not look good either.
Several people had their own thoughts and chatted for a few words at the entrance of the valley, all of which were about their views on the development of the Wushuang Domain.
Although Song Ru was usually taciturn, she was a monk who cared about her subordinates. She often told Liang Yan and others to put self-preservation first at all times.
Just as she was chattering on and on, two maids in palace clothes walked up from the side path and interrupted what she was saying.
"See Senior Uncle Song and several seniors!"
The two maids bowed to everyone, and then continued: "Palace Master Ning, please come and talk to me."
"Huh?"
Song Ru was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "Master, are you looking for me?"
"good!"
One of the maids nodded and said, "Uncle Song, come with us."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and led the way. Song Ru knew that these two people were Ning Xia's personal maids, so she followed them without hesitation. When Liang Yan and others saw this, they naturally didn't ask too much, and they also followed closely.
behind.
Several people walked through the dense forest outside the valley and arrived at a side hall of Bihai Palace.
Ning Xia was leaning on a wooden chair at this time. When she saw Song Ru bringing Liang Yan and others in, she nodded and waved the two maids to retreat.
"See Master!"
"I've met Senior Ning!"
Song Ru, Liang Yan and others each bowed.
"No need to use these polite things." Ning Xia waved her hand and continued: "The situation in Wushuang Domain is complicated now. I want to know what you guys think?"
"My apprentice has the same thoughts as my master." Song Ru said concisely and to the point.
Liang Yan was always a smart person and understood almost immediately. At this time, he also responded to Song Ru and expressed his attitude.
When Ning Xia saw this, there was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "You are still one of the few sober people. In fact, from the birth of the Tianji Box to the slaughter of the candidates, the series of things that happened recently are quite fishy.
The behemoth in Wushuang City is being watched every move it makes. Our best response is not to launch a large-scale expedition, but to investigate secretly, wait for the enemy to show its weakness, and then destroy it with thunderous force."
"What the master said is absolutely true, but it's a pity that Uncle Lin has a different opinion from you. He is the acting palace master, so we can only follow orders." Song Ru said with some regret.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lin has a fiery personality, hates evil very much, and can't get a grain of salt in his eyes. Although I have tried to persuade him many times, it has never had any effect."
Ning Xia sighed, and then continued: "Although it's a mess outside now, I don't dare to attack Wushuang City even if I borrow their courage. They are afraid that we will mess up our own situation and take the initiative to leave the city. Now
The Wushuang Realm is full of fog and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If one does not handle it properly, one may fall into the trap of those with ulterior motives."
"What does the master mean?" Song Ru became more and more confused as she listened and couldn't help but ask.
"As far as I know, the nine sects are not all of the same mind. Some sects are for the six-fingered bones, and some sects are just instigated by others. There may be room for maneuver in between. I am calling you here this time.
I want you to maintain a certain balance when performing your mission. It is best to put peace talks first and not to kill people as a last resort." Ning Xia said slowly.
When these words came out, everyone understood what she meant.
The two Transformation Tribulation Realm monks in Bihai Palace have completely different attitudes towards the nine sects. Lin Yueque adheres to the principle of "Those who offend my Wushuang City will be killed without mercy!", while Ning Xia advocates peace talks and reduction of the number of sects.
Necessary conflict.
Song Ru was Ning Xia's disciple. She naturally stood by her master at this moment. She nodded directly without any hesitation and said, "Disciple, I will obey my master's orders. This time, Daxia and his party will not take any action unless absolutely necessary."
Kill people and try to take back the mines without any bloodshed."
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved as a teacher." Ning Xia nodded with satisfaction.
"But." Song Ru hesitated for a moment, then said with some worry: "Uncle Lin sent out a total of eight teams this time. Disciple can only guarantee that my team will not kill them all. As for the other seven teams"
"You don't need to worry about this. Although I usually don't care about the affairs in the palace, I still have a few confidants. When the time comes, I will naturally give them instructions one by one. It's just that the remaining few are under the command of Senior Brother Lin.
Mr. Xuanzhen, I am helpless."
When Ning Xia said this, she sighed softly: "There is nothing we can do about this. After all, the Lord of Linghu City is missing, and our Wushuang City is leaderless. In fact, not only Bihai Palace, but also the other four major palaces have different opinions. We can only
Try to do your part well, and hope that Wushuang City can survive this crisis safely."
"That's all it can do."
Song Ru nodded, knowing that the master had other things to deal with, so she didn't stay here any longer. She said goodbye to Ning Xia and led Liang Yan and others out of the side hall.
"I'll give you a day to prepare. We will set off for Daxia Kingdom early tomorrow morning. This trip must be kept secret. Even relatives and friends must not reveal anything."
After Song Ru dropped these words, she walked away without looking back.
